FFX: Duelists' Fate
Chapter 1:
By KokoroHikaru
On top of an arcade which opened a couple months ago stood a lavender-haired girl. Her gold-colored eyes stared distantly at Domino City (author's note: for those who don't know, it's a city in Japan.) below. A brief gust of wind lifted her long hair inches off her body. It was considerably amazing how calm she stayed after receiving this particular item, the gold ankh-shaped key that's hung around her neck. Her run-in with Yami Bakura had its toll on her, but still, she tried to act normal if you could consider it normal.
The peaceful scenery began to make herself think about the time Shadi told her the Millennium Key had chosen her, but…. Why? Why her? Out of all people, her? She frowned, no logical reason had popped up. With a small sigh, no need to reminisce in the past, I guess.
Well, enough of this crap. Today's a happy occasion so I can't be all gloomy, she thought. With a perky grin, the girl heads down to the arcade's first floor.
As she headed downstairs, she gave a thought to how she manage to get Squaresoft to set up this arcade game based on one of the greatest Playstation2 games, Final Fantasy X. she was completely thrilled when she managed to persuade them to without the usage of dark magic, it wasn't like she used it always for every little problem.
Well, how she did it was set up her own coin-operating game machine with FFX on. Even though, it took time because of all the configuration and wiring.
This includes the design of the giant cartridge holding it. Squaresoft was impressed and immediately began workin in its arcade release. Coin operation worked as for every time you save, 200 yens. You still need a separate memory card to save it on. Even Seto Kaiba, very very rich jerk who owns his own corporation in making holographics and games, was jealous. He's plotting to outdo her and get some fame, and to him, he needs some, I guess.
Well, you haven't been introduced to this character- name: Haku, Tsuki Kage, age 15, and currently in Domino City, Japan, starting point of this little story. Her long-time past is a mystery to her friends, but it was difficult in the beginning for her.
Continuing on with this, Tsuki rested her lavender head on the counter, listening to peaceful music from the game. The only other noise heard was the rhythmic ticking of a clock. The dark-colored glass of the arcade made it nearly impossible to see outside. The overhead lights inside flickered a bit.
The silence was only to be broken by a creak of a door opening and with it a light breeze. In came a tall, white haired teen with hazel-brown eyes. The curves of his mouth formed a small smirk and his brown eyes with such icy coldness glanced over to the girl. He walked over to her, his shadow casting over her, but she acted as if totally unaware.
Suddenly, at Tsuki's swift action, he caught the item she threw at him. He made a face, a tv remote? What use does he have of that? Seems like Haku has lost it…
His smirk widen and a little wicked chuckle came from him. "Now, now… is this how you treat your guests? It's pretty impolite, I dare say."
Tsuki spoke up with some defiance at the thief nearby her. "I get taught of politeness from a tomb robber. Now that's ironic. This is seriously a trait I've thought I'd never see from you." Her gold eyes peeked from strands of lavender hair covering her head.
"Maybe, but you did invite me so is this how you treat guests?" his voice mused at the idea and with a snicker, he continue. "How would you treat the Pharaoh? I would like to witness that?"
" I didn't invite you. I invited Ryou, you idiot. Like I would invite you." She scoffed, then flung the hair out of her eyes, and gave a stern glare at him.
"well, you're the baka. If you invited Ryou, you are perfectly inviting me too. For because of this…" Bakura points at the Millennium Ring clearly visible around his neck and hanging down to his chest.
"This means whatever Ryou goes, I go." He tilts Tsuki's head to look directly towards him. This time, he gave a soft (if you could believe it) psychotic laugh. " I've thought that you would have learned that by now."
Trembling with angry, she lashed out at Bakura, but even with his quick reactions, narrowly dodged her hand. He countered it though by seizing her arm and squeezing it tightly. Tsuki winced at the pain as it shot down her arm.
The tomb thief flung her back onto her seat, and laugh which sent shivers down Tsuki's back. He was enjoying torturing her. " Idiot-girl… Don't you know if you hurt me, my hikari shall suffer at your hand? Why don't you settle yourself down now, alright?"
"Go entertain yourself in a different way. Watch some television or something." She fumed, blowing her out of her face.
"Fine, taunting you has lost its trill." Tsuki scoffed at the comment. His smirk was completely visible on his face. He proceeded to the couch behind the registers near a tv set. He still had the remote she tossed at him from earlier. He pondered at why mortals set themselves in front of a plastic box that flashed pictures, looking like little drones.
Something caught his eye, a cash register. Bakura glanced at Tsuki who was twirling a lock of her hair humming to the tune of the game. His smirk, if possible, widened even more, but once he popped open the register, it vanished and was replaced by annoyance and rising anger. "Don't you people make any blasted money!?" he whirls around to see Tsuki sniggering at him.
"I have learned that lesson, you know. That's why the cash isn't there." This caused Bakura's eyebrows to furrow and his eye to twitch, she then cease laughing.
Bakura, mumbling curses, fumbled with the remote for a moment, and finds a button that interested him, power. He knew technology and all, but just haven't tried them all. Anyway, the tv turned on, and was followed by a scream.
Tsuki twirled around to see what happened. What she saw was kinda funny…at first, she gave an annoyed look, but after seeing Ryou's yami trip over the couch, cursing, she had to try to hold in a suppressed snigger. " What the heck is with you?"
The spirit of the ring plops on top of the couch with a disheveled look, shooting the tv screen nasty glares. "By Ra, what are those creatures?!?" Bakura sorta gives a stare-down at the tv.
"Eh? What creatures?" Tsuki strolls over near the couch and also gave a weird look at the tv. She turns to white-haired teen with a slightly disturbed look. "W-why are you watching the Teletubbies?"
"Teletubbies? Is this the reasons why you pitiful mortals watch this television-thing? This sad race has become even more pathetic!" The spirit of the ring gave the purple teletubby an unpleasant glare. "And I think that one's gay."
"Aren't they all?" Tsuki scratches her head. "You know, it could be one of my workers watching PBS. The reason it's here is because I managed to get a great range of cable, but maybe I should have not got this particular channel."
"Torturous, is what it is." He begins to press buttons, until he discovers the channel (+/-) buttons. The thief flips through channels, until he stopped at the movie, The Mummy, and begins to complain about how Ancient Egypt's suppose to be. Because of that, the spirit forgets about his encounter with the Teletubbies. Yet, it is strange, a tomb robber who's barely scare of death and some others, is scared of Teletubbies.
After a couple of moments of Bakura's constant complaints on the movie and Tsuki's continuous sighs, Yugi Motou entered the building. His spiky, tri-colored hair wavered along with the wind slightly, and his violet eyes gave a questioning look. His perky little voice spoke up. "Hi!" Yugi tried to hide the discomfort of Yami Bakura's presence, but they all knew.
The air was vaguely uneasy. It was broken by Bakura's loud comment that they crapped up the tombs and how easily he could get through any of those. In a while, Yugi and Tsuki went into a conversation about Duel Monsters, and Ryou joined in after the movie; his yami wanted a rest after all the complaints he made. Basically, he was tired.
" Hi, guys." Ryou steps in and sits next to Yugi with a small smile.
"He finally let you out, huh?" Tsuki piped in. Ryou only nodded and blushed faintly.
"Well, we were just discussing Duel Monsters, but then….well…the conversation went lost." Yugi said, giving a small chuckle.
Tsuki looked at the clock, then gave a tiny growl. "Where are they? I invited them a half hour ago…"
"Jonouchi(AKA Joey Wheeler, in the English anime) and Shizuka(AKA Serenity Wheeler, in the English anime) are held up because Jonouchi woke up late and went sorta hectic. Ryuji(AKA Duke Devlin, in the English anime) is busy right now at his game shop. Honda(AKA Tristan Taylor, in the English anime) is fighting against his sister about watching Johji, his nephew. Anzu(AKA Tea Gardener, in the English anime) is……..errr….. I don't really know, I called her, but she wasn't there. I did hear Mai got caught up in the airport. I think that's all of them, right?"
"Did you invite anyone else?" Ryou asked, feeling left out, although it was also out of curiosity.
Tsuki thinks for a while. "I invite Seto and Mokuba…and Malik too." As on cue, Malik pops in the room with a somewhat irritated look on his dark face.
A small gust of wind came in, and the Egyptian boy leans over, looking outside. He gave a loud groan. "Rishid!! Go back to the hotel or something!! I can take care of myself!!"
Some muffled talking is heard, and Malik responds with another groan. "Just go back to the hotel! I know how I to handle myself! See ya then!" the Egyptian gave a sigh of relief. "I thought he'd never leave…" Rishid(AKA Odion, in the English anime) is very protective because it's like his sworn duty to look after Malik.
"Trying to get rid of your babysitter?" the white haired teen said. The comment had a fake pleasant sound to it, very unlike Ryou.
"It's you, Tomb Robber… I thought I smelled a foul smell." Malik makes a face, and pinches his nose.
Bakura's aggravation level shoots up. "This comes from a tomb keeper who been stuck lookin after a stink tomb for most of his life."
The two shoot daggered glares at each other, and appeared ready for a Shadow game. Tsuki attempted to keep them from killing each, scolding at the same time. Yugi stood at the sideline, until he chirped in. "You also invited the Kaiba brothers?"
Tsuki gives him a perplexed glance. "Yah, I was temporally his business partner, but I guess his never gonna get another one for the rest of his life." Mainly because the fact that Pegasus tried to rid Kaiba, and take over his corporation, and Tsuki, well, rather complicated, but she not his business partner anymore.
"You invited that jerk?!" Malik rather looked outraged.
"He's not that mean, I think. At least he looks over Mokuba , right?"
"I think that's the only good trait…"
"Well, how about you; you're obviously following a bad example of a role model." She jerks her finger at Bakura who replies with I'm only teaching young Malik how to get through life in a false sweet voice.
"My traits…. I'm handsome, better than Kaiba, care less more of my looks than these two…" he points at Yugi and Bakura. " and you two…. What's with the outfit?"
For the first, they noticed Tsuki's new attire. Her hair was tied at the end which was the casual look for her, but the clothing; she had a top which was joined around her neck with a large, black coat-like covering. Oddest would be her pants which was at different lengths, but was really a pair of shorts with an attachment of clothing with funny clasps on her left leg, and deck hoister on the other.
"By Ra, you make Yugi seem more normal about his dressing style." The white haired teen sneered, looking at Tsuki.
"How about we just start the game, while we wait for the others then." the girl fumed, slightly irritated at the guys' remarks. Something popped into Tsuki's mind, and pulls out a golden orb the size of a large walnut from her bag attached to the few belts she had that this authoress forgot to mention. "Hey, look." The other turned to look. She shows them the orb as it glinted unusually. "My parents found this from their last expedition, the only one of its kind. Rumor has it that it's connected to the Millennium items, and it's in my care for the while."
" And you're telling us this why?" Malik questioned. "I've never even seen or heard of this orb."
"I dunno what it does or supposable to represent, but it's called the Amen-Hekai."
"Translating, please." Yugi said, giving her a perky beaming smile.
"Errr……. I think it's considered Hidden Enchantments, I'm not completely sure." Tsuki waves her hand. "Aw well, let's just play the game." She pockets the orb in the bag again.
Unbeknownst to the group present, Bakura gave thought about the orb, there was something odd about it. Well, whatever it does, let's hope it's not another Battle City. Even Yami who was listening and Yugi were questioning the thought of it.
They started playing Final Fantasy X. Yugi commented that the graphics were so 3-D and very detailed. Bakura even gave a remark that it's not as freaky as the Teletubbies; Malik just gave him a disturbed stare.
They had gone through a couple of stages where Tidus and Auron defeated the Sinspawn Ammes which used only Demi as its attack. When Tsuki directed the characters to strike the tanks, Malik pops back with a soda. Tsuki glances at him while in the game, the tank explodes and a wall is falling down making Tidus and Auron run. "Where'd you get that?"
"Somewhere near your food courts…" Malik takes a slurp of soda.
"You weren't supposed to." Tsuki growled, the other two looked over. Yugi was about to try to stop it from being a fight, but Bakura stopped him, clearly saying don't. This made them ignore the fact that in the game, Tidus is hanging from a cliff.
Yugi, watching them scream at each other, went to interfere anyway. Bakura, don't wanting him to, tripped the little boy, sending him flying head first into the others.
Everything else happened quickly. Malik spilled the soda onto the game machine, causing it to short out and smoke. The few last scenes can be seen where Auron talks about this being Tidus' story. Tsuki fell to the ground and a clinking metal sound rolled by. Something glowed gold caught Bakura's eye.
Next thing anyone would know, the machine blew up, and covered them… and the fact that the Millennium items responded to the glowing object.
Yugi, choking from the smoke, soon felt an odd stir of being sucked up. The smoke cleared and rubble became visible, but then he saw the young Blitzball player and red-cladded warrior before that he recognized. The boy was then greeted with another feeling, this time feeling stretched and being pulled up. In a while, he slipped into a state of unconsciousness.

Tsuki stirred on the rocky surface, half submerged in water. She rubbed her hands on the surface, gravel? Was she sleeping outside? She got up to her knees, eyes still closed. That was when she noticed she was half soaked; things are getting a bit strange.
She lifts her head, a wave of dizziness caught her, but she managed spot something that stood out from the dank environment. It must be a nightmare… "It's you…"
The British boy turned, his brown eyes gave a baffled gaze. "You've been out for awhile."
"Oh, sorry. I thought it was, well, your other half." Tsuki gazed around, dark clouds and ancient ruins partly sunken in the water. It was noticeably cold. "Where's the others?"
"I don't know. Should we search for them?"
"Probably, we'll get nowhere sitting here. But… how did we get here?" she tried to recall some thoughts, but it came back to the arcade. How would they end up here anyway? Could they be in the Shadow Realm? "Well by the looks of the water, we'll have to swim… up to the challenge?"
The pale boy nodded. Tsuki unbuckled the clips of the left clothing on her leg, revealing the shorts.She removed the over-shirt style covering, folded that into a rectangular package. After that she used the newly formed belt from folding her leg covering into a belt and connected that to attach the package to her waist, all in less than a minute.
She stepped into a small dive into the water, reluctantly followed by Ryou.
The swim was dreadful, cold unlike hell, and mist appeared in a thin layer. They reach a set of stairs where three people were waiting. One, a boy with tri-colored hair of red, black, and blonde who was short for his age. Another was an Egyptian with blonde hair pacing back and forth appearing thoroughly confused. The last person there was a blonde stranger with his hair sorta spikish, and weird garments with shorts at different lengths.
Yugi and Malik greeted them with a solemn look, while Ryou wringed the water out of his hair. Tsuki ignored them momentarily and points a finger at the stranger. "Y-you're Tidus!"
-End of Chapter 1-
I know this chapter was probably boring, but I needed to show some character relationship thing. Sorry if any characters were out of character. It will get better, so as a treat, a sneak preview:
Tsuki's head broken the surface of the water, taking a deep breath of air. Searching frantically for Yugi, she found him looking at her scared and stuttering. "I-I thought I heard r-rumbling and a g-giant s-s-s-shadow pass is—."
"Shut up for the moment." The girl looks at Yugi who's a bit hurt. "Sorry, but listen. I need you to go find an exit out of the water and onto dry land. Hurry, okay? We're trying to hold the gigantic fiend down there at bay."
Yugi nodded and was about to leave when two objects broke the surface of the water. The sarcastic voice of the tomb robber was first heard. "Baka! Why'd you slash me?! Do I look like the monster?!"
Malik looked angry and was rubbing his sore head. "You appeared when I was about to slash it, King of Thieves! And now to think about, the two of you resemble!"
Tsuki and Yugi look in disbelief as the two tried to choke each other in the water, only causing splashes. Tsuki hindered their fight. "If you two are here, who's helping Tidus?!?!?!"
They just give her a blank stare; all of them doing that sweatdrop thing.
