Chapter 3
The past begins to shine
I was standing in front of a classroom full of kids. The teacher was standing behind his desk getting all of the kids prepared for the day. I stood outside of the room with the principal. He went inside first and whispered something in the teacher's ear. I looked down at my uniform and it was bright pink with a white blouse and blue bowtie. I felt so stupid wearing this, but then I realized that this was the past and I wondered who's past it was exactly I was dreaming of. The principal came back out and patted me on the shoulder.
"Everyone I want to introduce a new student to you," the teacher said motioning for me to come in. I walked in and stood next to the teacher. "This is Sereana Tiluna. She just transferred here so everyone try and make her feel welcome."
No one said anything to me, I just went and sat down. The teacher went through his different instructions for the different studies and I easily kept up with the notes he gave out. We had just finished up math when the bell for break rang. I pulled out a book and started reading it while everyone else grouped around two desks. I glanced back and saw a blonde haired kid wearing the boy's uniform. The boy sitting across from him had spiky hair and a weird upside down pyramid around his neck.
"Alright Yug, you're going down this time." Said the blonde haired boy while he threw down a duel monster card.
"Nice card Joey, but it's not good enough." Yugi said playing a stronger monster on the field.
The card that Yugi had played was able to reduce the remaining life points of that Joey kid. He wasn't entirely happy about that fact either.
"Man you suck at this Joey." Said a brown haired kid that was standing in the crowd.
"Nah, Joey is doing great. My grandpa owns a card shop so I get all of my best cards from him." He said smiling.
A card shop? I really wanted to go, but I just decided to ignore it and go back to reading my book. All of a sudden I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Yugi standing there with his friends. I didn't recognize anyone of them aside from Yugi.
"Hey there, your name is Sereana right?" Yugi asked me nicely.
"Yeah, it is. Is there something I can help you with?" I asked him flatly.
"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to come with us to my grandpa's duel shop. You seem kind of interested in our duel just now." Yugi said to me.
"Well I was, but I don't own a deck." I said calmly.
"That's ok, we can get you one if you want." Joey said happily.
I just stared at them, but it seemed like they wouldn't take no for an answer. I nodded my head and they all smiled happily.
"My name is Yugi." Yugi introduced himself to me.
"I'm Joey," said Joey pointing to himself.
"I'm Tea," said the girl with brown hair.
"I'm Tristan," said the boy with brown hair.
"Hi, there I'm Sereana." I said somewhat smiling.
They stayed and talked with me for the rest of the break until the teacher came back. We finished up the day quickly and I walked with Yugi and the others to the locker room. Once we swished our shoes we walked to Yugi's card shop.
"Grandpa, I'm home." Yugi called to an old man behind a counter.
"Ah, hello there, and it seems as though you brought home some friends with you." His grandpa said nicely.
"Yeah, and grandpa I was wondering if you could help Sereana with getting a deck." Yugi said to his grandpa happily.
"Um, that's if you want." I said quickly.
"Of course it is. I would love to help you with getting you your very first deck." He said pulling something out of the counter.
I stepped forward and he set down a tray full of decks. They all looked wonderful and I couldn't wait to grab up one of them, but I also wanted one that fit me the most. I saw one and it had a whole bunch of zombie type cards in it. I picked it up and the front card was of a dragon that looked both beautiful and powerful. It also reminded me of the person who I kept hidden from everyone.
"Um, I'll take this deck." I said to him.
"Ah, the zombie world deck. That's a good choice." He said smiling.
"Um, how much is it?" I asked nervously.
"Not a dime. After all its your first deck so I wouldn't want you to spend any money for it." He said to me nicely.
"Really? Are you sure?" I asked confused.
He smiled and nodded his head. I smiled happily at him.
"Hey grandpa can you show my friends that super rare card of yours." Yugi asked politely.
Rare card? What do one of those cards look like?
"Hm? My rare card? You don't mean the one I don't show very often." He said calmly.
"Please, pretty please." Yugi asked politely.
"Alright, I guess so." He said pulling out a small box.
Inside the box was a dragon card. It was a pure white dragon with bright blue shining eyes. The other person that I kept hidden within me stirred inside of me.
"It's beautiful," I muttered to myself.
"It's name is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon." He said to us.
I was so taken aback by the image on the card that I kinda didn't hear anything else. Suddenly I heard the door open behind me and I quickly turned around and saw a man standing there. He was wearing the same uniform as Joey, Yugi, and Tristan.
"Seto Kaiba? What is he doing here?" Joey asked confused.
"You guys know him or something?" I asked confused.
"Yeah he's a big time company owner that builds all of the equipment for duels, and stuff." Tristan explained to me.
"I'm here to look for a certain card but it wouldn't shock me if you don't have it." He said annoyed.
Suddenly he saw the card that was in the box and he rushed forward. He shoved me aside and I quickly regained my footing. He just stared at the card stunned and it was shocking to see him like that. I couldn't figure out why he was so shocked to see a card like that. However, Yugi's grandfather quickly shut the box and that royally pissed off Kaiba. He slammed down a briefcase and opened it up. Inside were a whole bunch of duel monster cards.
"Old man I'm willing to trade all of these cards for that Blue-Eyes White Dragon card." He said annoyed.
"Sorry, but no thanks." Said Mr. Muoto calmly.
"Fine then name your price." He said annoyed.
"Sorry, but it's not for sale." Mr. Muoto said again.
Seto left angrily and he walked out of the store. I just stared at his back because my other side sensed something within him, I didn't really know what it was. I looked up at the clock and I realized that I had to start leaving before my mom got suspicious.
"Um, I'm sorry but I have to go now. I'll see you guys tomorrow though ok?" I asked them as I headed for the door.
"Sure, oh but before you go," Yugi said while grabbing a small box. "Use this to protect your deck."
"Thanks, so much!" I said happily to him.
We all said our goodbyes and I ran out of the store and headed to my mom's house, and that's when the dream ended.
