It was a bright, cool morning in early September, when seven year old Misaki Suzahara woke up! Yawning, she hopped out of bed, and shouted, "Yay! I'm 7 today!" She smiled happily as she ran to the bathroom, where she washed up, ans got dressed. She was wearing a new outfit. It was a yellow shirt with flowers on it, and blue jean shorts. Running downstairs, she stopped in the kitchen, where her aunt Shoko was cooking breakfast. She kissed her niece, "Good morning birthday girl! What do you want to do tonight?" Misaki grinned, "I wanna see a movie." Shoko smiled, "Okay then. Eat your eggs, and it's off to school."
Misaki ate her eggs as fast as she could. She really wanted to get to school. Grabbing her Duel Monsters deck, and putting it in her red backpack, along with her lunch, she yelled back, "Bye, Aunt Shoko!" Running down the street, the breeze blew her pigtails away from her small face, as her school came into sight.
As soon as she was there, she ran over to where some older kids were playing Duel Monsters. She knew who one of the boys was. He was Haku Ogino, and he had a little sister, Chihiro, who was a fourth grader. "Haku smiled at his opponent, "I believe I win again. Mr. Ogata is going to give me extra credit for beating you today." The other boy groaned, "No fair, Haku." He then sauntered off as the first bell rang, and the kids to their classrooms.
The school where Misaki, Chihiro, and Haku went was the Duelist Academy, a private school for kids who were into Duel Monsters. It had regular classes, but also focused on Duel Monsters as well. The principal, was none other than Seto Kaiba. He had originally started the school for worthy duelists to become the best they could be. He had his eye on who he thought were the top ones at his school, and this included Misaki. Seto thought she had a lot of raw talent for being so young, and she was a brilliant strategist to boot. He smiled as he looked out at the vacant playground. That's when he formed an idea. Currently, Yugi Moto was the top ranked duelist in the world, and CEO of Industrial Illusions. He wondered how Yugi would fare against young Misaki. He had called Yugi some weeks ago to congratulate him for marrying Anzu Mizaki. Yugi had agreed to stop by the school, but what he didn't know whas that he was duleing a first grader!
Meanwhile, Shoko was at the Nippon TV station, where she was a reporter. She was co-anchor with Anzu Moto, Yugi's wife. They were good friends, and today Anzu asked, "Hi Shoko! What's up?" The other woman smiled, "Today is Misaki's seventh birthday. I'm taking her to see Howl's Moving Castle tonight." Anzu nodded, "You told me Misaki is an orphan. What happened to her parents?" Shoko sighed sadly," Misaki is my elder sister's Shuko's daughter. Shuko was married to Kenta Suzahara, who was a technician at KaibaCorp. After Misaki was born, there was a car accident. Neither lived, and since I am Misaki's only living relatton, so I am her guardian. She's quite the duelist. Your husband would probably like to meet her sometime." Anzu nodded, "He probably would, but he's been busy lately, so maybe we will later." Shoko smied, and a camera man called, "Ladies, you're on in 5!" They both left their desks, and headed for the studio.
Elsewhere, Seto and Yugi were talking. Yugi had grown a lot taller, and asked Seto, "You challenged me to a duel. When are we?" Seto smiled, "In a minute. I want you to meet somebody first." Turning towards his secretary, "Please take this note to Ms. Haruna's class." She nodded, and walked down to room 1-1 in the elementary school wing.
Meanwhile, Misaki was doing some science work. Her class was learning about dinosaurs, when the secretary spoke to Ms. Haruna, who spoke to Misaki, "Mr. Kaiba need to talk to you." A boy shouted, "Misaki's in trouble! Nyah!" "I am not," Misaki shouted back, and with that, she left with the secretary.
As they walked down the hallways, Misaki was nervous. Had she done anything wrong? As they entered the main office, Misaki knocked on the door, and Seto answered calmly, "Come in, please." Yugi turned around, and noticed a small girl entering the room. Was this who he was dueling? "Good morning, Mr. Kaiba," Misaki said politely. Kaiba stood up, and led Misaki to Yugi, "Go on." Misaki looked up at Yugi, and said, "Hi! My name is Misaki Suzahara, and I'm seven years old. Its nice to meet you." She then stuck out her right hand, and shut her eyes. Yugi smiled at the little girl. Kneeling, he took Misaki's hand, and said, Hello, Misaki. I am Yugi Moto." Misaki opened her eyes, and glanced into Yugi's violet colored eyes, "Are... you the guy who runs Industrial Illusions?" Yugi smiled, "Yes I am. What grade are you in?" Feeling more relaxed, Misaki let out a deep breath, and answered, "First grade." Seto nodded to Yugi, "Ready to duel?" Both Misaki and Yugi were startled by what was going to happen.
Of course, everything had been planned out. Yugi had his deck, minus the 3 God cards, and Misaki had hers. Since she was so small, Misaki sat on her knees. The duel began. Yugi and Misaki drew their hands, and Yugi said, "I'll play the Dark Magician in attack mode." Misaki nodded, "Okay! Then I'll play Magic Knight of Rayearth in attack mode. Use Crimson Lightning on the Dark Magician." The attack worked well, since Yugi's life points dropped quite a bit. Kaiba was right about her, she was quite talented. Yugi smiled, Nice move, Misaki, but I'll play Dark Magician Girl. Attack Misaki's Magic Knight." The card was destroyed, and Misaki's life points dropped as well. Little did Yugi know that Misaki's next move would end the game! Misaki nodded, "This is it! I play Sailor Saturn in attack mode. Use World Destrcution!" The move zapped the rest of Yugi's life points, and Kaiba smirked. It was about time somebody beat Yugi at his own game, and it was a sweet little girl at that. Yugi shook his head, and looked at Misaki. She frowned, "Are your cards okay? I'm sorry for hurting them!" Yugi smiled at her, "Its okay, Misaki. You're a very strong duelist, and I look forward to dueling you in the future." He ruffled her hair, smiled at Kaiba, and left. Seto glanced at Misaki, "You go back to class now, young lady." Misaki nodded and left. On the way back, she couldn't believe what had just happened. She had defeated Yugi Moto, the Duel Monsters champ! Smiling a bit, she went back to class, and enjoyed the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, Yugi called Anzu on her lunch break. Anzu was surprised that Misaki had defeated him, but Yugi assured her he was fine with the idea. After he let her go, Anzu smiled at Shoko, "Misaki just beat Yugi in a duel!" Shoko nodded, "That doesn't surprise me at all. She is excellent when it comes to Duel Monsters."
Later that afternoon, Misaki came home, and on the front door there was a note;
"Misaki, I am working later than I thought. We will still go to the movies. I hope you had a great day. Love, Aunt Shoko" Misaki nodded, and let herself in, before taking a nap, so that she wouldn't sleep through the movie!
