The Darkness Is In The Eyes - Introduction

This is my fan fiction is based on the cartoon, Yu-Gi-Oh. And by that, the American version. So please do not go leaving comments saying, "It isn't Ishizu, it's Isis. And Malik, not Marik." Etc. etc. Also, this is based on the Salem Witch Trials and the story Beauty and the Beast. I do not own Beauty and the Beast nor Yu-Gi-Oh. Also, this story contains minor slavery. Please note I do not support slavery or racism at all. ~holds Constitution close to heart and is proud to be an American~ If you do not like me using a tiny bit of slavery, then please do not read this. I will have spelling in grammar errors, and please, do tell me. But do not point out every single little mistake. Also, this contains a lot of Kaiba x Serenity, Yugi x Téa, Yami x Téa, and Joey x Mai. There are other minor couples, but none I need to list here. If there's anything else I need to post here, I will update it. Thanks!

In the 1690's, in the newly formed U.S., lied a small village that people called "Domino". It was a tiny town where everyone knew their neighbors. Unfortunately, they saw each other too much and knew each other too well, causing conflict. Ishizu Ishtar, the Priest's daughter, hears word from Salem, Massachusetts, that there are witches and wizards around and to keep one eye open. She notices that some children act strange around other people, meaning only one thing: The Devil. Who will escape being murdered after being labeled a witch/wizard, and who will do the labeling? How will Kaiba torture Joey? Will Rebecca ever marry Yugi? There's only on way to find out: Read the story.
