Chapter 2 – Kashadra's Point of View.

This is not good. My father doesn't want me participating in the tournament. And I promised Kaiba I would be there. But, the most troubling thing is, I'm developing feelings for Kaiba. He's become a major part of my life in the last few weeks. He still doesn't know my last name. He doesn't even seem like he wants to know, but I don't feel like any of this is right. I really should tell him the truth, but then again, he may purposely forget what we've planned to do.

I have never been this confused. Everything has just been so screwed up lately. Because, if my father does come down, then, I'll be expected to take over the company. I have absolutely no interest at all in Industrial Illusions. Besides, I'm not Pegasus Crawford's biological daughter. I was adopted. It's quite easy to tell. I have bright green eyes and scarlet red hair, and I look nothing like him or Cecilia.

But, there's nothing I can really do. I'm legally his daughter. Not that I'm happy about it. I just hope his brothers want the company, because I'd give it to them readily. The next thing I have to go through is this stupid boat ride. And, I'll have to put up with every other duelist invited.

But, the good thing is, my alias Michiko Mezoona is the National Irish Champion. So no faking there. Because, if I didn't have the alias, people would think I would have only the best cards. With the alias, I win out a pure skill. And besides, I'm a very good duelist. My father can't even beat me without using his Millennium Eye. I just hope my real identity doesn't come out during the tournament. Yugi and his friends are oblivious I have another name; Kaiba knows I'm under the alias, and my father, well, he just knows about everything. I've still been able to hide my plans with Kaiba from him. And what I told him about Yugi was almost true.

Still the worst part I getting on that boat. I don't get seasick, but I hate boats. Still, there's no use, that is the only way to the Duelist Kingdom Island.
