Chapter 1

The Girl

It was a warm late spring night as Tristan went on a walk, but his thoughts were not as warm. 'Yugi sure is different lately', Tristan thought 'it's like his Yami self is controlling Yugi so that his Yami can use poor Yugi's body..'. His brow wrinkled with worry 'I hope Yugi comes back soon, Joey and Tea are so worried about him.' he sighed and a cool breeze gently blew past him. "Brrr..I better get back". He was walking down a city street when he heard a scream followed by the sounds of a fight. He ran towards the noise; in a dead-end alley he saw four men unconscious on the ground. "Jeeze, what happened here?" he murmured. "They tried to jump me.I defended myself." Responded a voice. Tristan frantically whirled about "who said that!?", "I did". Someone stepped out of the shadows; Tristan's eyes widened with awe, the voice belonged to a girl. Not just any girl but the most beautiful girl he ever saw, "I am sorry if I startled you," she said. "Uuuhhhhhh." He replied. The girl was tall and slim with black shiny hair with streaks of gold and silver flowing gently past her hips, creamy white skin, and cute curved bow shaped lips. But it was her eyes that Tristan noticed first; they weren't one colour but they were all the colours of the rainbow swirling, one minute her eyes would be emerald green-the next they would be warm gold. She had an air, no an aura of dignity, authority and power. "Ahhhh." she exclaimed, "hey are you all right?" Tristan asked worried. The girl clutched her right thigh, blood staining her delicate white hands. "Hey you're hurt!" Tristan said, she had a large gash on her thigh, probably from the fight, Tristan figured. He rushed forward to stop her from toppling over. "Ahhh.thank you," she winced. Her flowery scent was so overpowering that Tristan had to clear his head to reply, "do you need help to walk? If you do I'll walk you to your place". "That would be great," she smiled wryly "that is if I had a place." Huh?" he looked at her quizzically "are you staying anywhere?". "No", "Where are you from?" "Egypt", "Egypt!? What are you doing all the way over here?" " I'm running.from the law." He was silent for a few minutes, "you need a place to stay huh?" the girl looked up at him with her now ice blue eyes sparkling with hope, "yes" she whispered. "Well.I guess you can stay at my house.for now that is," the girl looked at him with gratitude shining in her ever-changing eyes "thank you so very much!" she gushed. Then a wave of pain crossed her face "owww.my leg," "we're gonna take a look at that" Tristan smiled. With the girl leaning on him they slowly walked to his house.
