Chapter One - Arrive On the Wings of Fate
The plane came speeding to the ground. It soared along the runway and halted so suddenly that every passenger jolted forward in their seats. The pilot's speech echoed around the small, cramped cabin of the jet. "Sorry about this folks but a slight problem has accrued. Nothing to worry about, but it may cause some inconvenience. I'm afraid we will need to make this stop in Domino City, Japan to re-fuel Unfortunately you will have to stay over-night and accommodations and the local hotel will be made for you. Please report to the emergency area in the arrival lounge when you exit the plane. Thank-you!"
A slight murmur arose among the passengers, several began to curse and swear and as people stood up to collect their luggage, two girls were left sitting. The girl next to the window had pure black hair down to her butt. Her sparkling brown eyes glistened in the morning sun. Her friend looked at her, she had dark-brown hair. With purple hyalites, her deep green eyes drifted into the rays of sunlight.
"I don't believe it!" the dark-haired girl sighed, her head was resting on the tray in front of her, she sighed again as she lifted it to look her friend in the eyes.
"C'mon Jessie down let it bring you down. Just think we're in Japan, all the good duellists to beat.oh and the food!" Her friend closed her eyes and smiled. Jessie looked at her in amazement.
"Well.I didn't know you liked Japanese food." They stood up and the other girl handed Jessie her bags from the hold above them. "thanks Rogue" Jessie said, she then walked forward as her friend grabbed her own bags and they made their way off the plane.
They arrived and stood together at the top of the metal staircase leading to the plane. They both looked astonished at the beautiful sun and cloud high skyscrapers. A man dressed in a formal blue suit looked up at them and began to speak loudly, trying to compete with the plane's noisy engine. "YOU TWO UP THERE! QUICKELY COME DOWN, THE QUICKER YOU LEAVE THE QUICKER WE CAN GET RE-FUELED!" Rogue and Jessie made their way down the steps with their suitcases, banging into each other on most of them. They arrived at the bottom and turned to throw a nasty look toward the man before entering the airport.
They passed through the glass doors into the marble-floored main entrance hall for arrivals at Domino airport. They heaters were on in the building and Rogue loosened her scarf, now getting over the morning cold.
"What now? Where do we go?" Jessie cried, sounding panicked.
"Er.Follow the others I guess" said Rogue, nodding her head in the direction of many people, passing through a small barrier, in a neat line. The two girls made their way over to join the end of the cue.
After a while, they arrived at a small window where a dark haired woman looked down on them, with a puzzled expression. She said something they didn't understand, and Jessie looked at Rogue. They both knew Japanese, and that wasn't it."W-h-a-t?" asked Rogue, raising an eyebrow.
"OH!" the woman cried, with a chinise-english accsent. "you speak English? I did not know. I was told to speak chinise because the flight come from Hong-Kong. I can speak English good" she then smiled, secretly proud of herself. "Anyway.what are you two doing on this flight. You are too young, no?"
"Well.we got on, I don't know how. We just did-" Rogue began.
"YOUNG! I'M FIFTEEN!" cried Jessie, a wave of teenage madness coming over her.
"Yes." the woman now looked scared, and so did many other people, who had turned too look. Rogue hid her face behind her bags and sighed. "What are your names?"
"Jessie Harper." Jessie said, then pointed too Rogue who was still looking embarrassed. "-And Sakura.sakura..sakura?" she turned to her friend. Sakura secretly did not know her second name (introduction). So she used the one of her foster mother.
"Tamme" Rogue said.
The woman looked through some papers on her desk and looked up smiling. "you are here.passports please" The two girls handed over their passports, in order for the woman to check them. She s-l-o-w-e-l-y checked them then looked up and handed them back. "Thank-you. Please collect your bags and make your way to the arrival lounge. Where you should then.."
Her voice became quieter and more faint and the two girls walked away, already fed-up with their 'welcoming-party'. They made their way up to collect their bags from the convey-belts in the centre of the hall.
"Ok..if any of my stuff is damaged, I'll kill them!" Rogue cried, as she picked up her blue and black case. Jessie reached out for her red case, but before she could get it someone else's hand reached out for it as well and they collided.
Jessie looked up to see a blonde-haired woman looking down at her, she moved her hand away and so did the woman. "I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"I'm Jessie.and this is my bag your trying to steal" Jessie said, trying to be cool. Behind her Rogue was moving away.
"Steal?" the woman said. "no I am not! This bag is mine!" as the woman reached for it again, so did Jessie and a war began between the two, each pulling it in a different direction.
"Mai!" came a voice of a blonde haired young man from close by. "Are they giving you trouble?!" he arrived to stand next to her, he had messy blonde hair and looked evilly at the girls.
"No Joey" Mai sighed, she pulled once more and the bag split open, the contents spilled onto the floor. It contained woolly scarves and hats and stuff that looked like the possessions of an old granny.
"oh sorry" Jessie said, letting go. "obviously yours then!" she smiled to herself as Rogue laughed behind her. the blonde haired boy gritted his teeth then broke out.
"what do you think you are doing you kids, you can't just come and claim everything! It's not yours so don't even try that trick!" his loud tone made people turn and stare at them for the millionth time.
"and it's not mine anyway" Mai said, she dropped it and then walked away with Joey to find her own.
"What was all that about?" Rogue asked Jessie, coming to meet her. They spotted another red case come round that was no different. "look, this one has your name on" on the tag Jessie's name was printed clear so she picked it up and they made their way into the arrivals lounge. When they entered the room, there was a deep silence, people were avoiding the temptation to turn and stare at them. "Do you think we're late?" Jessie whispered to Rogue as they walked slowly over to the place marked 'Emergency Area'.
"i.can't..see!" Rogue cried, she was trying to look over the heads of the crowed, then she turned and said to her friend, "there's too many people. "C'mon lets just go"
they both made a run for it, pushing in and out of some other people who wouldn't move then Rogue banged into someone because she wasn't looking and fell back. Her head banged on her suitcase, but people moved away as they noticed.
"oh my god!" Jessie cried, turning round.
"I'm so sorry!" said a quiet boy's voice. He knelt down beside her. As Rogue looked up, rubbing her eyes and saw Yugi Motou, world champion duellist. "Can I help you up?" he offered her his hand and she was helped up as Jessie rushed to her side.
"Thanks" said Rogue shyly, her eyes met his. "hey! Aren't you Yugi?"
"Yeah he is" said a girl's voice. Téa, looking a bit jealous for some reason came to stand by her friend's side. Yugi nodded.
"Who are you?" he asked, picking up her bag for her and handing her it.
"I'm Rogue. Well Sakura really. I'm kinda' good at duelling b-"
"Oh no, here is where she gets into a spin" Jessie laughed. "c'mon Rogue before they leave without us"
Rogue sighed. "Fine. Bye yugi..and.girl!" she waved as she walked away with Jessie to the emergency area, where the people from the plane were boarding on to a coach.
Yugi watched them walk away and suddenly he heard Yami talking to him.
There was something strange about Sakura.
