A New Course
By: Shadow Dragon
In the horizon, the young woman, Gen'in, could see the dimming sun setting, allowing the stars and moon to glisten in the darkness of the night. Releasing a soft sigh, she turned her attention to a log that lay a short distance away from her, getting tired of standing she began to walk towards the log and sat down. While looking at her star chips, Gen'in softly talked to herself.
"After just two weeks of traveling, I just need three more star chips. Just three more before I can challenge the creator of Duel Monsters. Beware Pegasus, I will defeat you. I can't nor won't let you down, father."
Slowly, getting to her feet, the sudden sound of a stick snapping caused her to become cautious. Keeping an eye in the direction of the sound, Gen'in digged through her jean pockets pulling out her Duel Monster deck. After waiting a couple moments, which felt like several hours to her, she silently walked in the direction of the sound. When she reached a trail of tall, thick bushes, she stopped and peered over the bushes silently searching for the one who created the alarming sound. About several moments after looking around, Gen'in's eyes viewed a teenaged male staring out over the calm ocean. The teenager had short, brown hair that shadowed his eyes, and he was wearing black pants with a blue trench coat which covered most of his body. Also, he carried a brown briefcase in his left hand.
"I guess, I'm going to call it a night because he doesn't seem to be much of a threat."
Deciding that this mysterious person, wasn't a threat to her well-being, she turned around but as she did so, she too snapped a twig. The sound of the snapping twig quickly grabbed the myterious guy's attention causing him to look in the direction of the sound. In a serious panic, Gen'in ducked down low to the ground hoping to evade his attention. Becoming curious on whether if the stranger was coming or not, she got to her feet and began to peer over the bushes.
"Shit... I don't see him any where...."
Believing that the stranger has left the area, she turned her attention over to the right, where she planed to set up camp, but as she walked in that direction the stranger appeared out of the bushes.
"Ack!"
Gen'in's yelling caused the stanger to turn his attention to the young woman, who had dark-blue, shoulder length hair, and wore a white blouse and blue jeans. Not knowing what to do, Gen'in turned around and began to run like hell.
"Hey, wait!"
About to run after the girl, the stranger noticed a deck of cards lying neatly on the ground, so he picked up the deck and with great curiousity he searched through the Duel Monster Deck. Almost as the bottom of the deck, the stranger's eyes widen with surprised because one of the cards grabbed all of his attention. Only staring at the picture of the card, his eyes looked at the mighty Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"This can't be the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Only four Blue-Eyes were ever created. I remember I tore up the one Yugi's grandpa owned, and I have the three remaining in my deck. When I find that girl, I'm going to ask her about this because this can't be the real thing... it just can't be."
While still in disbelief the stranger placed the girl's deck into his coat pocket before turning around and continuing on his journey.
Meanwhile....
Still in a panic, Gen'in continued to run but curious if the stranger was behind her, she turned her head to look, but since she wasn't looking where she was going she ran into a great oak tree. With the fierce impact, she fell to the ground where she laid unconscious for the night.
***
When morning came, Gen'in awakened from her deep sleep, and feeling pain, she rubbed her head at where she ran into the tree. While looking at the oak tree in front of her, she sat herself up, and as she was about to get up, some yelling in the distance caught her attention.
"Get back here you little brat!"
Curious of the yelling, she got up and ran in the direction of the yelling, and when she got there she observed a man wearing a black suit and dark sun glasses, and he was chasing a young boy. The young boy had black hair that came down to his waist, and wore an orange shirt that had yellow sleeves and had blue jeans on. Plus, he was wearing a necklace which seemed to be shaped like a Duel Monster Card. Seeing that the child was sweating, gave Gen'in the hint that the child was tired and over-heated so she dashed after the man and ambushed him. She jumped on him, and used all of her body weight to knock him down to the ground. Hearing a grunt from behind, the young boy turned around and saw that the man was on the ground and a girl was looming over him. Out of breath, the boy stopped running and began to pant and fell to the ground on his knees expressing his fatigue. Gen'in looked to the boy before turning her attention to the man again and decided to have some fun. Using her anger towards the man as an excuse, she began to kick the man in his side.
"You pathetic bitch!"
In anger, the man grabbed Gen'in's foot, and pulled her down to the ground. The man got to his feet, and gave Gen'in a strong kick in her side causing her to clutch her side trying to bring down the pain. Loosing interest in the girl, he turned towards the boy, who was still on the ground trying to catch his breath, and reached out his hands.
"After all this time trying to escape, I finally caught you."
The boy looked up and saw the man walking towards him causing him to shake in fear.
"Wait! I'll duel you for him."
Turning around, the man saw the girl standing up with a limp and laughed at her.
"You want to duel me for him?"
Gen'in glared at the man and nodded to express her determination.
"Alright then, but you have to wager all of your starships!"
"Deal! But I must warn you, that I can't nor won't loose to the likes of you!"
"You know that's some pretty big talk coming from a woman." stated the man while laughing.
Growling at the man's statement she digged through her pockets to bring out her deck, but as she went through her pockets she couldn't feel anything.
Damn it, where is my deck of cards!?
Worried that her deck was missing she finally remembered that she left it on the ground when she ducked down to try and evade the stranger's attention.
"So, are we going to duel or not?"
Gen'in sweatdropped at herself because she had left her deck behind before looking at the man in the eyes, or in this case his sun glasses.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
With her words, Gen'in walked up to the man but stopped when she was a couple of feet away from the man.
"Well?"
Gen'in smiled inoccently at the man causing him to slightly blush before kicking him in his area making him clutch his area and falling down to the ground in pain. Without wasting any time, Gen'in ran passed the man and grabbed the boy's hand forcing him to run behind her.
"Come on, we got to get out of here!"
After running for about five minutes Gen'in was satisfied with the distance they had covered and lead the boy into a wooded area, which covered them from watchful eyes. Gen'in and the boy dropped to their knees desperately trying to catch their breath. When Gen'in caught her breath she stood up and went out of the woods looking to see if the man had followed them, and since the close was clear she turned her attention to the boy.
"Are you okay?"
The boy looked up at the girl.
"I'm fine, just really tired..."
Gen'in turned away from the boy and found a spot to sit near a tree where she leaned her back on.
"I'm Gen'in Asagi, and you are?"
"I'm Mokuba Kaiba, and thank you for rescuing me from that man."
"Kaiba, eh? You're the younger brother of Seto Kaiba, right?"
"Yeah... I am..."
"What's wrong, Mokuba?"
"I'm just wondering, where is my big brother? He's suppose to be here by now to rescue me..."
"Hey, don't worry yourself sick over it. He's probably already on the island looking for a way to rescue you."
"You really think so!" Mokuba said with excitment and joy.
"Yep! But he probably doesn't know where to look though, so maybe we can look for him instead. So what does he look like?"
Quickly to answer Gen'in's question, Mokuba took off his necklace and handed it to Gen'in after he had opened the locket. Gen'in's eyes widened in surprised because the picture looked exactly like the person she had seen the day before. Noticing Gen'in's facial expression, he questioned her.
"What's wrong?"
"Does your brother usually have a briefcase with him?"
"Yep." Mokuba stated while nodding rapidly.
"Well, I saw a guy that looked exactly like your picture, and he was carrying a breifcase."
Gen'in handed Mokuba's necklance back, which she had closed before handing it over to him.
"That's got to be my brother!"
"I suppose we can start our search at where I first saw him. Besides, I have to retrieve my deck, which is hopefully still where I left it."
With a large smile of hope on Mokuba's face, the duo slowly made their way to where Gen'in was at the day before. When they finally made it to their destination, Gen'in immediately went to the spot where she had left her deck, but without luck she didn't find her deck. Releasing a heavy sigh, she searched the ground and found footprints, which she believed was Seto's.
"Well, my deck isn't here, so your brother must have picked it up."
"So, what now, Gen-chan?"
"I guess, we should follow these footprints."
Gen'in pointed to some footprints, and Mokuba nodded at her idea and silently followed Gen'in, who was following the trail of footprints. After about thirty minutes of following the footprints, they found that the footprints just stopped causing Gen'in to turn to Mokuba.
"The trail just went cold..."
"So, what do we do now...?" Mokuba said in a sad voice.
"It's getting late, so how about we call it a night, and start searching again tomorrow morning."
"Okay..."
Mokuba found a soft patch of grass and laid down to sleep. Gen'in watched Mokuba and smiled.
"Gen-chan, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I will soon, but not now."
"Why not?"
"Because I want to keep an eye if any people come about or not. I need three more starchips before I can challenge Pegasus..."
"Why are you dueling?"
Gen'in answered Mokuba in a low, sad voice.
"Because... my mother recently died of lung cancer, which was found after she died. My father is sick with some type of strong virus, and since he can't work the bill collectors are threatening to take away our house... everything... So I'm dueling to win the prize money, which is enough to pay off all of the bills and to live off of until my father gets well enough to work again. I'm going to challenge the next person who comes into view, because I just need three more starchips before I can get the prize money."
Gen'in turned to look at Mokuba, but found out that had fallen asleep before she could finish her short rant. Gen'in walked a couple of yards away from the sleeping Mokuba and discovered five people sleeping around a small campfire. She looked at each of the persons and noticed that two out of the five people had dueling gloves.
I think I'll duel the one with the blonde hair. Damn it... I just remembered that Seto has my dueling deck... kinda pointless to challenge someone if you don't have a deck to play with. I might as well and go back to Mokuba and keep an eye on him... I need to find his brother as soon as I can... I need my deck back... if they find out that I don't have a deck, they'll probably kick me off the island. And if I get kicked off, I won't be able to help my family.
Releasing a heavy sigh, Gen'in back tracked, but when she arrived at Mokuba's sleeping grounds, she discovered that Mokuba's body was missing. Gen'in's eyes widened at her discovery. Yearning to find Mokuba, Gen'in ran every where in the nearby area, and called out for him, but she didn't find him nor got an answer. Worried about the small child, a couple of tears flowed down her cheeks, but she continued to search, but still she found nothing. Not knowing what to do anymore, Gen'in collasped onto the ground and fainted because the stress on her body and mind became over-whelming.
Several hours later, Gen'in awakened to the silence of the night. Gen'in continued to lay down on the ground, but she stared at the stars and moon that dominated the night sky, but slowly the horrible memory of Mokuba's disppearance emerged in her mind. Turning over on her side, she closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind from all thought, but she couldn't help but think of Mokuba.
"If it wasn't for my stupidity, Mokuba wouldn't have disappeared.... I hope that he's okay, where ever the hell he is..."
With her words, she drifted into the land of dreams....
****
"Let go of me you big jeck!" yelled the struggling Mokuba.
"Mr. Pegasus is going to be very happy, once I bring you back to his castle."
Getting tired of struggling, Mokuba just relaxed his body and allowed the man in the black suit to take him back to Pegasus's castle.
"Once my big brother and Gen'in get here, you'll be sorry!"
Holding Mokuba in his left arm, he continued to walk towards Pegasus's castle, and ignored Mokuba's threats.
Seto... Gen'in... where are you two....
****
When the sun reached the highest point in the sky, Gen'in awakened from her long sleep, but not wanting to get up Gen'in continued to lay on the ground on her side.
I have to get my deck back from Seto... if I don't... I won't be able to get the remaining starchips that I need to get into Pegasus's castle...
"Wait a minute!"
In small excitement, Gen'in bolted to her feet and spoke to herself aloud.
"That man that I saved Mokuba from yesterday, was one of Pegasus's guards! So, that's probably what happened! That same man kidnapped Mokuba and he must have headed for the castle! But I need my deck before I can do anything... I'll find Seto and get my deck back... so I can save Mokuba! Now, where should I start looking..."
Getting frustated at the idea of finding Seto on such a big island, Gen'in released a heavy sigh and finally decided to just start at where she frist saw Seto. Gen'in headed back to where she first saw Seto, thought that Seto must have known that Pegasus kidnapped his little brother, so her best bet would to head for the castle. Nodding at her decision, Gen'in headed for the center of the island, where she hoped to find Seto, the one with her deck.
****
When Gen'in neared Pegasus's castle, she found what she was searching for.
Seto!
With great joy, Gen'in observed the person, who she believed was Seto Kaiba, from a distance, but without a doubt in her mind she knew this was Seto. So with all of her courage, Gen'in quickly walked up to Seto, who was standing still looking up at the castle.
Hold on Mokuba, I'm here. Without a doubt, I'll destroy Pegasus, and save you from his grasp.....
"Seto?"
Hearing his frist name, Kaiba turned around quickly and before him he saw the very same girl he saw three nights before.
"You?!" Kaiba exclaimed with surprise.
Kaiba dropped his briefcase, so that it fell to the ground with a thud, and grabbed Gen'in's shoulders.
"Tell me, where did you get that Blue-Eyes?!"
Gen'in just looked at Kaiba in the eyes.
"Tell me!"
"I'm surprised at you Kaiba." said Gen'in while pushing Kaiba's hands off her shoulders.
"...."
"You are the only person in the world with three Blue-Eyes in your deck, but don't forget that there is a fourth one remaining in the world. And I have that card, so will you be a good fellow and hand me my deck."
"Liar! The fourth one belonged to Yugi's grandfather and I tore that one up!"
"Uh...." Gen'in laughed nervously.
"Well?"
Gen'in held out her hand to Kaiba.
"Just give me my deck back and I'll show you."
Kaiba did as Gen'in asked and handed back her deck, so she went through her deck and found the Blue-Eyes.
"Look. A real Blue-Eyes White Dragon has the attack of 3000 and a defense of 2500, but as you can see this one has an attack of 4000 and a defense of 3000. So obviously, this card is a fake, but not many people know the difference because they've never seen a real Blue-Eyes." Gen'in stated while pointing to the numbers.
Kaiba sweatdropped at himself for not noticing the different attack numbers, but quickly changed the subject so that he didn't look bad in front of her.
"So, what's your business with me?"
"Well, I wanted to get my deck, but I wanted to tell you about Mokuba...."
"Mokuba!?"
"Yeah, I saved him from one of Pegasus's henchmen yesterday... but it seems that I turn my back just for a second.... and when I turn back around... he's gone... So I thought that Pegasus's could have kidnapped him again... Basically, I want to team up with you and save Mokuba with you."
Kaiba glared at Gen'in.
"Forget it. You are just going to be in my way! Besides, I don't have time to waste with you."
Kaiba turned away from Gen'in and began his way up the stairs that lead to the entrance of Pegasus's castle.
No, Kaiba... Mokuba was actually my friend... truely a first... I won't let my friends stay in such a situation! Kaiba, whether you like it or not I'm going to help you out... But I'll probably help you from the shadows.... Until we meet again my friend....

With great joy, Gen'in observed the person, who she believed was Seto Kaiba, from a distance, but without a doubt in her mind she knew this was Seto. So with all of her courage, Gen'in quickly walked up to Seto, who was standing still looking up at the castle.
Hold on Mokuba, I'm here. Without a doubt, I'll destroy Pegasus, and save you from his grasp.....
"Seto?"
Hearing his frist name, Kaiba turned around quickly and before him he saw the very same girl he saw three nights before.
"You?!" Kaiba exclaimed with surprise.
Kaiba dropped his briefcase, so that it fell to the ground with a thud, and grabbed Gen'in's shoulders.
"Tell me, where did you get that Blue-Eyes?!"
Gen'in just looked at Kaiba in the eyes.
"Tell me!"
"I'm surprised at you Kaiba." said Gen'in while pushing Kaiba's hands off her shoulders.
"...."
"You are the only person in the world with three Blue-Eyes in your deck, but don't forget that there is a fourth one remaining in the world. And I have that card, so will you be a good fellow and hand me my deck."
"Liar! The fourth one belonged to Yugi's grandfather and I tore that one up!"
"Uh...." Gen'in laughed nervously.
"Well?"
Gen'in held out her hand to Kaiba.
"Just give me my deck back and I'll show you."
Kaiba did as Gen'in asked and handed back her deck, so she went through her deck and found the Blue-Eyes.
"Look. A real Blue-Eyes White Dragon has the attack of 3000 and a defense of 2500, but as you can see this one has an attack of 4000 and a defense of 3000. So obviously, this card is a fake, but not many people know the difference because they've never seen a real Blue-Eyes." Gen'in stated while pointing to the numbers.
Kaiba sweatdropped at himself for not noticing the different attack numbers, but quickly changed the subject so that he didn't look bad in front of her.
"So, what's your business with me?"
"Well, I wanted to get my deck, but I wanted to tell you about Mokuba...."
"Mokuba!?"
"Yeah, I saved him from one of Pegasus's henchmen yesterday... but it seems that I turn my back just for a second.... and when I turn back around... he's gone... So I thought that Pegasus's could have kidnapped him again... Basically, I want to team up with you and save Mokuba with you."
Kaiba glared at Gen'in.
"Forget it. You are just going to be in my way! Besides, I don't have time to waste with you."
Kaiba turned away from Gen'in and began his way up the stairs that lead to the entrance of Pegasus's castle.
No, Kaiba... Mokuba was actually my friend... truely a first... I won't let my friends stay in such a situation! Kaiba, whether you like it or not I'm going to help you out... But I'll probably help you from the shadows.... Until we meet again my friend....
