Character Introductions

Okay, this is my first time doing a fanfic on this board. I like to display a character section of my fics to give people the idea of who or what will be in the stories. Okay, enough yakking, here we go with the characters.

Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura
Deck Theme: Occult
What's more to say about him?

Ayana Meijin
Deck Theme: Yin-Yang
Ayana is a shy girl of 17 whose trying to make a living in life. So many people are afraid of her because she has the ability to read people's minds by touching their foreheads. She got attached to Duel Monsters when she saw Bakura with a deck of the cards. She learned fast and wants to duel side-by-side with him. Why? No one knows. Read to find out.

Toorima
Deck Theme: Constant Life Point Regeneration
Toorima is a young man of 18 and the jealous, overprotective friend of Ayana. He doesn't like Bakura and tries to keep Ayana away from him. No matter how hard he tries, no one will listen, not even Ayana.

Bimusouka "Bi" Senritsu
Deck Theme: Angels
Bi is the popular girl of Ayana's school who constantly mocks Ayana about her Duel Monster craze. Secretly, Bi likes the card game as well and she has a crush on Bakura. She is indeed the perfect rival for Ayana to try to win the "heart" of Bakura.

Okay, those are the basic main characters of the story, more to come along the way. On with the story now.

Chapter One: Reminescence

"Hey, Ayana, wake up!" called a young man's voice. Ayana opened her yellow eyes and moved her purple hair from her face. She had fallen asleep on the bus again. This was the fourth time it's happened. She hasn't been able to sleep well because of constant school work and preparing for the tournaments. Ayana looked around and saw a young man that stood at least 5'11". The young man had short blond hair and brown eyes.

"Shimatta, Toorima, did I fall asleep again?" she asked the man.

"Well, actually..... What's the nice way to put it?" Toorima asked.

"Oh for God's sake, how long has the bus driver been holding up?"

"About two minutes."

Ayana moaned in embarrassment and grabbed her black bookbag. She and Toorima got off the bus as quickly as they could. They were right outside of what looked like an abandoned grocery store. The two entered the building with no fear at all. Once they were inside, the surroundings were different. There were many people dueling each other using a new system created by Kaiba Corp. A new virtual reality where people would literally hook themselves up to virtual reality chairs and battle other people in the virtual world. That's when she saw him. The apple of her eye and the bruise on Toorima's grapefruit...... Bakura Ryou. He had just got done defeating another duelist.

"You did well this time, Toriyama. Keep trying. You'll achieve your goal of being a good duelist." he said, stroking his white hair back.

Ayana blushed like a schoolgirl seeing the man of her dreams. In fact, that's who she dreams of whenever she falls asleep on the bus. Toorima saw the look in Ayana's eyes and he didn't like it.

"Thanks, Ryou-san." said a little girl with short black pigtails, skipping away.

Toorima tapped Ayana on the shoulder. Ayana blinked a bit as though she was in a trance. She looked at Toorima.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"You're daydreaming again, Ayana, and I know of who." Toorima snapped.

"What's your point?" Ayana snapped back.

"You shouldn't be daydreaming about Bakura Ryou! Don't you know that it was because of him that we all almost died five years ago!?"

Ayana hadn't forgotten about it. Five years was the worse time in history. Bakura was still possessed by his evil spirit though the items were gone. He had murdered Yugi Motou in cold blood and forced Joey Wheeler into a coma. But what he did after that was much worse. He had aligned himself with a devil. A female devil by the name of Lilith. Lilith promised Bakura infinite power if he set her free by destroying a crystal called the Hikarizuishou. To make matters worse, Tea Gardner helped him set Lilith free.

Lilith, when she was free, used an item called the Orb of Eternity that could give Bakura "infinite power." In reality, the orb meant death. Cruel, painful, gruesome death. Before she could use it on Bakura, Tea told Lilith to take her instead. The orb had consumed Tea's soul and her body was reduced to ashes. This happened around the world. Lilith used her orb to grant anyone "infinite power" if they desired it. Bakura had to use the power of the shadows to imprison Lilith once again, but this time in a crystal called the Yamizuishou. Because of Bakura's foolishness, half the world died.

Why would Ayana fall for a man that caused half the world to die? She looked back at Toorima.

"Listen here, ketsuana, I don't care what people say about him. He's paid his debts to society. He's trying to make up for what he did five years ago." Ayana snapped.

"Don't snap at me, ikeike! I'm doing my best to make sure you don't do something stupid like team up with that hiretsukan and try to kill us off again. It's bad enough I had to witness my sister burn up in front of me!" Toorima yelled.

Everyone was looking at Toorima and Ayana, including Bakura. He was starting to feel completely terrible listening to their bickering. He knew what they were talking about. He wasn't paying attention to anything else they said, until Ayana's shriek of anger filled the room.

"Kutabare!"

Ayana stormed away from Toorima. Toorima gave her an inverted peace sign behind her back. Unfortunately, no one in the building knew what it meant (unless you're from Europe). Ayana stepped onto a Kaiba Corp. VR chair and pushed a few button on the arm. A slot ejected from the side. This was where Ayana had to put her deck. She reached into her bookbag and pulled out a black deck box. She put the deck in the chair and closed it. A helmet slowly descended over Ayana's head and everything went black.

The transporation of the VR world didn't feel painful at all. It felt like going down a water slide at a water park. The movement were the waves of cybernetic technology working its "magic." Poor Seto Kaiba, though, he hadn't been the same since Lilith claimed Mokuba in front of his eyes. This was his last invention before he went criminally insane. He was locked up in a place called Monogurui, a place for the psychotic and the criminally ill.

Ayana didn't want to think about it. The fires of death consumed her entire family. They were all greedy for power and they opened their hearts to Lilith. Maybe dueling someone would get her mind off of this crap. She hated reminescencing about the past. Finally, a blinding white light filled her vision. As it cleared, she was standing in an exact replica of the Pantheon, an old landscape of Ancient Greece. She would usually go here to find people to duel.

In this world, the duel disk were golden versions of Kaiba's duel disk. This time the Life Point meter went to 8000 instead of 4000. Those rules were boring, Ayana thought. She started to walk around the old building, hoping to find someone to duel. It seemed everyone that chose to enter the Pantheon were already booked. She decided to watch at least one duel. It was between a pink haired girl facing off against a brown haired man who looked like Joey.

Boring, Ayana thought. She walked back toward the Pantheon, but stopped when a pink rose streaked past her face. A young man chuckled a bit. Ayana slowly turned around and saw a young woman with short blond hair, blue eyes, and red lips. She was wearing a pink blouse and black hot pants. Her boots were black knee highs.

"Um, can I help you, miss?" Ayana asked.

The woman winked and grinned, revealing she had blue eye shadow on.

"Vous pourriez dire cela, mon ami." the woman replied.

"Excuse me?" Ayana blinked.

"Oh, forgive me, mon ami, I didn't speak to startle you like zat. Non, not at all. Non, non, non, non."

Ayana moved away from the girl as she moved closer toward her.

"Listen, I don't have any money if that's what you're getting at. And I like guys."

"Excusez-moi?!" the woman snapped. "I am no putain!"

"I don't understand any word you're saying, miss. Could you please speak our language?"

"Fine, if I have to."

Ayana stopped moving away.

"Who are you? I've never seen you here before."

"Moi? Ze name's Jolie, Jolie Mathis. Et vous?"

"Oh...... I'm Ayana...... Ayana Meijin......"

Jolie giggled with delight and clapped her hands.

"Goodie! You told me your name! That makes us friends of sorts, faites-vous pour ne pas convenir?"

"I guess........." Ayana muttered.

"Wonderful. Now, when shall we begin our duel?" asked Jolie.

"I was thinking maybe now if you're interested."

"Oh, darling, I'm always interested. You're talking to Jolie Mathis, pour pleurer dehors fort, French Duel Monsters champion."

Jolie adjusted her golden duel disk and grinned at Ayana. Ayana did the exact same thing. It would be embarrassing if her duel disk were to slip off during the duel.

"Whenever you're ready, mon ami." Jolie said, with a seductive look in her eye.

"I'm ready." Ayana said.

Next time:

Toorima: Ayana and Jolie duel against each other, but Jolie somehow knows every move that Ayana makes before she can even make it. Plus, what's the deal with that creepy Spell Card that Jolie is using? For some strange reason, it keeps empowering her best monster whenever there's a monster in the graveyard. Well, I don't know what the heck is going on, but I'm sure we'll get some answers soon on the next episode of "Apocalyptic Revelation - Visions".

So, what you think? Not too bad, eh? PM me, let me know.
