Yuna's POV

I was surprised to see Yugi with his own duel disk leaving the game shop with me. He explained that, apparently, Seto sent him an invitation as well, and so both of us are competing.

Just a few minutes before the start of the tournament, we met up with Mai the same place we ran into her last night and awaited the official start. As soon as the announcement was made, we split up and I ran into one Joey Wheeler yelling at some guy, a Rare Hunter by the looks of it, and kept on challenging him to a duel for the card he took.

And, just like that, I started off the tournament with the very first duel in which I have defeated a deck that held three sets of Exodia cards.

What happened afterwards is still a slight mystery, even to myself!

But it involved one of the Chosen, a holder of a Millennium Item.

And from the looks of it, it's none other than the Millennium Rod!

Marik's POV

''This girl is good!'' Is what I heard my younger twin say, and I couldn't agree more, even though I hated it. She was extremely clever and very quick. Even though she stopped that gibbering mutt from telling our puppet's secret Exodia deck, she was still somehow able to figure it out on her own. And succeeded in defeating him!

But could she be the reincarnated Pharaoh? Sure the Pharaoh was also very inteligente and quick in making strategies, but that's not all to him. But then we turned on the hidden camera that all the Rare Hunters wear so we could watch everything only to gasp with a step back.

She looked just like the Pharaoh! Everything: the stance, the pride, the hair ... And most importantly, the eyes! They were blood red! Malik and I knew that for centuries now, there was only one person with that eye color and that was none other than the Nameless Pharaoh from 5000 years ago! But here was this girl, like a female duplicate of the biggest mystery of Egyptian history with the same color of eyes as one of the most, ... No, THE most respected Pharaohs of all times, just as inteligente, just as skilled.

This is the one that is responsible for the death of our father as well as the reason that our family had spent 5 millennia underground!

And she is going to pay!

Malik's POV

I know that I should't, but I was captivated by the girl whom we suspect is responsible for the death of our father. I have never seen a girl this beautiful! Everything about her just screams sexiness, but there was also her grace and elegance. Or the way her hair swayed in the light breeze, as she moved while the battle took over her emotions. But her eyes were the final blow, if you will. Their color and sharpness, as well as the hidden tenderness just drew me mad! And her body was no less a masterpiece!

All in all, she was the definition of perfection!

I had always thought that perfection is nothing but a useless word that will never reach it's meaning, but this girl ... She proved me wrong.

Oh soo very, very wrong.

But something that surprised me more than her appearance, was the way she had helped that stupid blond boy. From what Marik and I had experienced in the past, she was supposed to be a coldblooded murderer. Yet there was an air of innocence around her that just made people want to protect her.

Even though I don't really know her, but ...

Could she really be the one responsible for our father's death?

Ishizu's POV

I was gazing at the stone tablet of the Pharaoh's lost memories when I felt it ... There was someone coming into this room. That is, someone will enter this room in a matter of minutes! And it isn't an ordinary someone!

It was a holder of a Millennium Item!

I quickly hid behind one of the side entrances and watched as a single white haired boy stopped in front of the tablet where I have just been standing. He first looked around the room, as if looking for something, ... no, someone!

He had known I was down here?! HOW?!

His gaze finally returned to the tablet in front of him, and I saw a smirk form on his lips. My eyes widen as he speaks.

''Hello once again, little Pharaoh, High Priest. Seems we meet again!'' He chuckles. To my ears it truly sounds evil. ''This time, however, I will be the victor in this little game of ours!'' And with that, the boy was gone. I had recognized the boy, of course. He DOES look just like the Tomb Robber, after all.

But if all three of them are here, this tournament will definitely become a battle of ancient souls!

Seto's POV

I wasn't at all surprised that Yuna had started the first duel of my tournament. It was quite pleasant, really. I had the pleasure to watch the deck she had built and see the strategies she had thought up in a minute. I was really interested how she would destroy Exodia, the same monster she had used against me, and I was really glad for some reason or the other that she had been able to win.

But then that guy revealed that he was only a puppet of sorts for his masters, Marik and Malik, and that they were watching. I didn't like the thought of anyone other than me is watching my rival.

And so, I was on the streets of Domino in a matter of minutes. I was both looking for the God cards and Yuna. From what I have seen, she and Yugi had split up just before dueling that Rare Hunter, so she is alone. Even after the guy just declared that he wishes to crush her and make her his slave or something! Seriously! I always knew that she doesn't like it when people try to fight her battles, but she is still a girl! The girl that happens to be the one I like- NO, NO, NO! The one I respect and wish to beat, NOT some crush!

Yet, just the thought that she could get hurt makes me step up my pace.

Not long after we hit the streets, Mokuba and I also split up to cover more ground. But, just after some half an hour or so, some wise guy had the nerve to speak back to my brother, KC's VP and the tournament's commissioner. My rage hit it's newest limit, the one set a few days ago.

So the fool thought he can treat my precious little brother like a stray dog, did he?

Good. I needed a stress reliever.

Mokuba's POV

I had just witnessed my brother use Obelisk for the second time. Only this time the victim wasn't a computer.

The guy was being a jerk and a bad sport, yes. But no one deserved to face off against that ... that... Monster! He had been shaking at just the sight of my brother, knowing that he was famous for being merciless, but then he got cocky when nii-sama gave him his suitcase full of rare cards to use them in a duel against him. Seto already knew all those cards and their weaknesses, and with Obelisk in his deck... Well, the guy bit off more then he could swallow.

Seto had finished him off in a single turn, and we had continued on together.

Not long after we got a message from HQ that the most important person had disappeared from the map!

I swear that all the color had drained from Seto's face in that moment!

Yugi's POV

I had been able to get a duel in and now I have two locator cards! I was quite excited when I accidently, literally ran into my older sister. We exchanged smiles then burst into laughter.

We decided to walk around a little as Yugi told me about how he had seen Joey win against one of those duelists from DK and how he had met Mokuba! It appears he is the tournament's commissioner, which didn't surprise me at all. Yuna was even less surprised than I was and just said that Kaiba wouldn't trust anyone as much as he trusts Mokuba. Until a few days ago, I would have said that she was on the same level with Mokuba, but the way he just walked away from her, not once but TWICE, I just couldn't bring myself to say it. To hurt her soo much.

My train of thought was broken when some maim-clown told Yuna that she should follow him, because it's master was waiting or something. And she just did as he said! What the heck!? I know that Yuna is not stupid and also that she can take care of herself, but this is too much! She is not only a celebrity but also a girl!

OOOoooohhh! Seto's not gonna like this!

I knew that I couldn't just leave her alone like that so I went with her and we followed the freaky maim-clown thing into some building. As soon as we entered, the door shut behind us like in horror movies and the maim-clown was no longer in sight!

A computer tuned itself on and it showed a picture of someone and a card. Yuna and the Dark Magician! Beneath them were five stars, the maximum for a duelist. Just as I leaned in more to check the data, the Dark Magician's robes turned from purple to some dark red, and his also purple hair became white as well as his skin became darker! A second later I jumped away from the screen like a frightened animal as the Dark Magician came to life, pointing his staff at Yuna and declaring her unworthy of his power!

Just what the hell is going on around here!

A/N: I would like to apologies for this chapter coming out like this, firs only a few words then the rest, but my computer keeps deleting the sentences every few minutes and shutting down due to a virus problem! It may continue like this, but I'll try to post the next chapter all in one piece. Thank you for your support and patience!
