Trouble and Surprises Chapter 1: The Meeting
A girl with long black hair with a silver-blue strip and deep green eyes stood in the middle of a street in front of a house. She tightened the black coat she wore closer to herself as the wind blew. *What if it isn't the right house?* she thought. She got closer to the door. As the door opened she saw a boy with creamy white hair and amazing brown eyes. He looked at her for a while then smiled.
"You are Crystal, am I correct?" She stood there a moment listening to his voice that had a touch of British accent.
"Yes, that I am." The girl answered.
"Well, please come in. It's very cold out tonight." He opened the door wider and stood aside to let her in. She walked into the house as the boy gently closed the door behind her. She took off her coat and hung it up. Then she turned to look at him then she spoke.
"You know why I am here Bakura. Now where is Pegasus' millennium eye that you took from him?" Bakura stared at Crystal for a moment then seemed to have changed. His hair got a bit messier and his eyes changed from good natured to hateful. Also he got a bit taller and stronger looking.
"I won the eye off of Pegasus in a shadow game. It seems that it was too much for the old fool." Crystal noticed that the voice changed as well. Deeper and without the accent. More attitude too.
"I'm not playing games. Shadi demands that it is given back to him now." Just as she spoke another boy entered the room. He was tall with blonde hair, purple eyes, and looked like he was Egyptian.
"Crystal, what brings you here? I thought you were still in Egypt."
"I was Malik. But, like you, I too have come to seek the Pharaoh."
"I know where the Pharaoh is, Crystal. He hides within the chosen one, Yugi Moto. And once I get the millennium puzzle, the Pharaoh will be no more." Malik started to smirk.
"You will not get the puzzle or harm Pharaoh Yami, Malik. I will see to it that you don't."
"And who is going to stop me, a mortal like you?" Malik laughed evilly then pulled out the millennium rod. Malik moved the rod slightly as it changed to a dagger and held it at Crystal's neck. "You stay out of my business anyway. Or I will personally see that you wish you never heard of the Pharaoh."
Now Bakura broke in saying, "No fighting here Malik. Any killing you want to do, you do it on your own time at your own place."
"Fine with me." Answered Malik.
"I must be going anyways." Crystal stared long and hard at Malik. "I have other things to take care of." Crystal grabbed her coat then exited the house and began walking down the street. *He wishes.* she said to herself. *He won't ever harm the Pharaoh. Wait and see.* Crystal continued walking down the street until she ran into a tall blonde haired boy with a green jacket.
"Hey! You should watch where you're going!" The boy yelled. Crystal turned around to see who he was. She saw deep brown eyes, someone who is always determined. He also spoke funny too.
"You should watch where you are going boy. You just might run smack into trouble." Then Crystal turned around and walked away. The boy kept his temper then he too walked away. *This is absurd!* Crystal thought. *If the chosen one is here, why is it so difficult to locate him?* She started to walk past the game shop but stopped. *I did promise Shadi I would get him some of those duel monster cards. I guess I would find them here* She walked into the game shop to see yet another funny looking person. *People are so abnormal.* This person was short, with black, red and blonde hair. *Weird, he seems peaceful.*
"Hello. Are you looking for something?" *He speaks with such innocence.*
"Yes. I am looking for some duel monster cards. Do you have any?"
"Of course. We have tons. Let me go get some for you." He went into the back room then came back out with a box and placed it on the table opening it for her to see. "Anything you like?" Crystal started to look though them and bought 20 cards. She noticed the boy had a necklace around his neck. Her eyes started to narrow a bit with suspicion.
"You are the owner of that necklace, am I correct?" He looked at her and stopped smiling.
"Yes." He said slowly.
"I sense another in you. Show yourself Spirit." Now like Bakura, this boy changed too. He was older looking and everything.
"Why do you call upon me?" Crystal stood there a bit, still her eyes narrowing until she returned to her normal game. Then she looked a bit shocked.
"You are...you are the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Pharaoh Yami." He stared at her.
"How did you know?" He too was suspicious.
"I am Crystal, helper of Shadi, the guardian and keeper of the seven millennium items. You are in danger Pharaoh Yami. My duty is to find you and return you to Egypt, back to your homeland were you will be safe."
"I can't just drag Yugi to Egypt. His home, friends, and school are here. Even though it would be nice to see Egypt again, I cannot leave."
"So you are saying you won't go back to Egypt and most likely put the boy's life at risk?"
"I would never harm Yugi."
"His friends can travel to Egypt as well. You will all be staying in a safe place and I'll take care of the school. But we must leave at once. So tell your friends and get packing."
"Fine, but who is after me?"
"His name is Malik Ishtar, owner of the rod. He is after you to kill you."
