Chapter 1 -Battle City finals-

Isuku was waiting impatiently for the plane to land. The blue-eyed girl with white skin had been invited by her childhood friend, Kaiba, to participate in the Battle City tournament. She couldn't go because she had an important meeting with her mother in America. After it was over, she had flown directly from there to Domino City on her mother's private jet. Even though she missed most of the tournament, she still had hope that she could still win 6 locator cards with her skills. If she didn't make it in time but still had 6 locator cards, Kaiba would let her participate as a guest and not a finalist. As soon as the plane landed, she quickly got off, entrusted her things to a bodyguard and went to get a Duel Disk. She heard that there had already been a lot of people who qualified and there was only one place left. She quickly won her 6 locator cards and headed for the place the map indicated.

As she got to the place where the tournament would be held, she spotted a little group of people and only 7 with duel disks. She thought that she would be able to participate as a finalist after all. A man in a black suit approached her.

"You're too late. The last finalist got the locator cards before you," he said.

He told her to go away but Kaiba intervened and said to the bodyguard that Isuku was a guest. As the bodyguard went away, Kaiba looked at Isuku.

"You've sure changed a lot. It's been a couple of years since the last time we saw each other," he said. "You're lucky that I have done business with your mother. Looks like we were both adopted by successful people." He turned away and left. "Nice to meet you again too." Isuku whispered to the air.

During the time she was waiting for the eight duelists to arrive, she introduced herself to the other people. There was Kaiba's little brother Mokuba, Marik, Namu, Yugi, Joey, Mai, Bakura, Serenity, Tea, Tristan and Duke. After waiting for a long time for the eight duelist that didn't come, they all went up on the blimp and were assigned rooms. Isuku looked around. She was impressed with how much money Kaiba spent on the blimp.

She looked at her room and was amazed. It looked just like a five star hotel room. She went to visit the others'. She went in Joey's room where all of his friends were. They were discussing about a room for the extra guests that were on board. Joey's room was big too. She offered to Tea and Serenity to sleep in her room since they didn't have one of their own. Tristan, Duke and Joey were arguing over a can of soda and everyone was laughing at them. Isuku let herself fall on the couch next to Bakura and laughed.

On the p.a. an announcer told everyone to go to the main place because the first finalists to duel would be chosen. Isuku noticed that there were only seven duelists.

"Where's the eight duelist?" she asked a bodyguard.

"She's in her room and doesn't want to be disturbed." he answered.

Cool, Isuku thought. There's another dueling girl on board. She went to find the eight finalist's room to meet her. Before she knocked, the door opened.

"I was waiting for you," said a figure dressed completely in white. "My millennium necklace predicted that you would come. It also predicted me that you also had a millennium item." She pointed the brooch on Isuku's shirt

"Huh? Millenium Item?" Isuku asked. "You mean this brooch that has an eye form on it? I got in in Egypt on one of my mother's trips. I heard of a legend about those millennium items you're talking about. My brooch isn't one of them but it has some of the same powers. I'm Isuku, by the way."

The woman presented herself as Ishizu and motioned for her to sit down. They began talking about some things. After a while, Isuku left to see the duel.
