Chapter 3: The Fighting Guardian

Kai sat on a plane that was already in flight Adam got another one as a matter of a fact there where four planes flying to Washington D.C. each containing exactly 24 duelists. Kai figured that it meant he had six matches before he qualified to be in the Final Four the top duelist in each section then they faced off to find a Grand Champion. Kai glanced down at his deck it had his most loyal/favorite cards in it. He then glanced around looking at the other duelists most of them Fixing up their decks for this fight.

Kai shook his head and pressed his head on the window looking outside. He then glanced at his cards once more and drew the top four cards he then smiled it was the cards his Grandfather gave him. Since he was part Native American his Great Grandfather gave him the Family Heirloom a necklace with a bead for each person it gets handed to and before Kai gave it to his son or grandson he had to put a bead on to show it was owned by him but then his Grandfather gave him he looked at the necklace and then counted the beads it had 32 beads on the necklace and he would be 33. He then looked at the four cards each being an Ultra or Secret Rare that was very hard to find. After his grandpa passed away exactly one month from his Great Grandfather he realized that his Grandpa was a very close friend to Pegasus and owned about 25 shares of Industrial Illusions. But lately something else has been bugging him a dream he's had his great grandfather and Grandpa keeps appearing to him with his cards telling him something but their message is blurred. He then slid his cards back on top of his deck and shuffled he wore a pair of black jeans and a black shirt and a red sleeveless shirt over the black one. He laid his head on the back of his chair sighing it's been two hours out of a four-hour flight. He then felt his pocket it held his mothers good luck charm; he pulled it out it was a Arrow-head she told him that it was made by their ancestors in the Civil War times.

"Like it will help me in duel monsters" he told himself again he put it back and closed his eyes

"Well it's always a very cool trinket to have" came a female voice from behind him

Kai literally jumped out of his seat and hit his head on the baggage area above head. He then turned around to see a Brunette girl with Blonde streaks and round sapphire blue eyes she wore a Blue Jean Jacket over a white t-shirt that shown a lot of midriff she also had a blue jean mini skirt on. "Don't startle people like that," he said looking at her rubbing his head. "Wait a minute I know you Your Karri a duelist that uses Machine and Winged-Beast monsters."

"So what if I am?" she said in a puzzled tone she then looked at the spot next to him and pointed at it "is it taken?" she asked then with out Kai's permission she sat down next to him

"Now it isn't" he said in a monotone "but what are you doing on a plane to Washington D.C.? You're in the 41st spot of duelists around the world. Your famous!" he shouted his voice getting higher and higher.

"SHHHH!" she said putting a finger over his mouth to shut him up "well I wanted to join there is no rule against it now. Besides I like the rush that a tournament gives you. You know what I'm saying?" she said laying back her hands behind her head.

"Well yeah but this is only my third tournament." He said a light blush coming upon his cheeks.

"Its fun if you get into the groove of things." She smiled "you know your alright uh…I never got your name"

"Oh right its Kai…Kai Knight" he said looking at her holding out his hand that had the disk on it.

She smiled and took his hand and shook it with her own. "Well I hope to see you in the tournament. But something about you screams Dark Magician." She said putting a finger on her forehead. "Well I better get back to my seat we are landing in about a half an hour" she stood up hitting her hand she then fell right into Kai's lap. She got up quickly and walked out this time avoiding the bump and sat down.

Kai sat there not moving a girl was on his lap. He then looked at her "hey here" he tossed her two cards she looked them over and then slid them in her deck smiling

"You'll be a fun challenge Kai if we face each other" she said lightly then shuffled her deck sliding it in her disk.

Kai smiled and nodded his seat belt going back around his waist. He then pressed his head against the window once more.

Mean While….

Adam sat in his chair flipping regular poker cards over he then looked through and picked out all the pairs and laid them on the Fold out tray in front of him he then shuffled the remaining cards and did the same. He continued this during the whole flight.

At the Washington Convention Center….

Kai returned with their card keys to their room. The duelists at least got to choose whom to buddy up with at the hotel room in the night.

Adam glanced at him he knew something seemed different with his friend but he couldn't place it "alright who is it Kai?"

Kai smiled "I meet Karri the Machine and Winged Beast duelist."

"Sure Kai if that's what you think" Adam replied

"ITS TRUE!"

"Look buddy I won't say I don't believe you I just don't"

"Hey Kai!" said the Feminine voice of Karri came from behind him.

"Karri!" Kai shouted turning around.

"I'll be darned" Adam said impressed with more than Kai telling the truth also by Karri's looks.

"Whose he Kai?" she said pointing at Adam

"That's Adam he's in a different section than we are" Kai said rubbing the back of his head.

"Well Kai I have a bit of information for you your facing a duelist that is no push over you might know him as the 41st duelist of the world-"

"Hara-kiri" he said looking at her.

"The one and only" said a cold voice from behind them. He walked forward he wore Black Sleeveless shirt and black pants his hair was green and spiked he had 4 earrings on his left ear. "Nice to see you again Karri…" he said rubbing her chin.

"Get a life. I bet Kai beats you!" she said slapping his hand away.

"Oh and what are the steaks." He said smiling by that smile Kai could easily tell that he was a gambling man.

"If he wins you will never bug me again-Kai write this down," she said

Kai nods and then grabs a peace of paper and writes down the info.

"And if I win which I will" he said smiling "you go out on a date with me!"

Kai wrote the on the paper and then held it up

"Agreed" she said signing the paper and so did Hara-Kiri.

"May the best man Win Kai and I intend to" he said sneering at Kai
