All right, this is the long overdue Syrus and Kagome fic. I hope everyone likes it...this first chapter is sort of like a prolouge to what's going to happen next in other chapters.
"What makes you think you're qualified for the job, Miss Kagome Higurashi?" A cold voice echoed through the seemingly small room.
The girl with raven black hair and coffee brown eyes shivered at the iciness, but bravely spoke. "I know a little about Duel Monsters, I've always been a people person and well…uh…" She fumbled for words, and the man before her smirked.
"Alright, Miss Higurashi, it's fine. You're hired. All I really care about is that you can work well with others. Pack your things. Expect a limo outside your house at around ten in the morning. It will take you to a helicopter, and from there, you can get to Duel Academy."
Kagome gaped at the man in shock and relief. She stood up abruptly. "Oh, thank you, Seto Kaiba! I promise, I will work hard!" She bowed to the bewildered business man, and promptly exited Kaiba's office.
As soon as he was sure that she was gone, the CEO shook his head. 'I've just sent another nut-case to my Duel Academy…' Frowning slightly, he walked back to his desk and started on his paper work.
'First Crowler, then Sheppard and now her…I really hope that everything turns out all right there…'
"All right! I summon Elemental Hero Wingman! Now, attack Syrus' Steam Gyroid!" A brown haired boy sat on a bed with a blue haired boy, and cheering on a rectangular piece of cardboard.
The blue-haired boy groaned. "Oh…I lost to Jaden again. I can't win a duel at all…" The other duelist grinned. "Aw, come on. Cheer up, Syrus! I'm sure that you'll win a duel one day!"
Syrus sighed. "I really doubt that Jaden. I mean, ever since I was young, all I've ever done was lose. Spelling bees, monopoly, video games, dueling…you name it, you can trounce me on it."
His friend patted his back. "Chill out, Sy. You'll win one day. That's how everyone is at times, but everyone wins at least once. Tell you what. I'll buy you a duel pack tomorrow! My treat!"
The blue haired boy began picking up his dueling cards. "Sure, I guess. I'll probably get the worst cards…like always."
'But I really hope that you're right Jaden. I hope that I really can win something one day…'
Well…here it was. Duel Academy in all of its glory. Kagome stood, awed at the sight. The premises itself was huge, and there were woods, a beach…all on one island. How cool was that!
"Wow…now, how do I get to the card shop?" She fumbled in her pockets for that slip of paper that the driver of the limo had given her before. A map showing the entire island.
She heard a roar behind her and turned, seeing that the helicopter was now flying in the direction that it had come from. 'Oh, well. No turning back.'
She walked idly through the forest, often consulting the map she had. Finally, she reached the large building that she was looking for. 'Okay…so now, it's just inside the building and keep going right…'
She followed those directions, stopping at a door. "This looks like the spot…" She mumbled out loud, pushing on the door to let it open. Inside it was a fairly large room; only a counter with a cash register on it.
"Hello? Anyone here?" She yelled out, hoping that someone would be there to show her the ropes in time for Monday. There was a loud thump coming from a door near the back.
The raven haired girl started, before walking cautiously across the room to check what the source was. Twisting the doorknob, she bit her lip. 'What if whatever's in there isn't friendly?'
She'd just have to check. Flinging the door open, she was greeted with the sight of a large woman under a pile of boxes that looked like they fell from one of the shelves.
"Oww…" She groaned. "That hurt. I heard someone yelling and it surprised me…" Kagome gasped. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She yelled, gaining the attention of the woman in the room. "I just wanted to see of there was anyone there, so I yelled and…"
She said no more, and began lifting the boxes off the thankful lady. Grunting at the weight, her knees buckled as she struggled with the heavy packages. One by one, they came off, and the two girls finally had enough space to lift the rest off them.
The large girl grinned. "Hello, my name is Dorothy." She wiped the sweat off her brow. "Thank you for getting me out of there." Kagome smiled. "No problem. I'm Kagome."
She took out the note that Kaiba had told her to give to the card shop manager. "I was hired by Seto Kaiba to give you a little assistance around here." Dorothy took the note, her eyes scanning every word that was written on the little piece of paper.
Kagome took the opportunity to look around the shop further. Gazing at the shelves, she saw that they were filled with boxes of duel cards. Awing at the enormous quantity, she wondered, 'Does this school really need that many duel cards?'
She was startled when Dorothy cleared her throat. "All right. This looks like Seto Kaiba's writing. I'll go get your uniform, but we're going to have to hurry." She checked her watch. "The shop opens in around twenty minutes."
Kagome whipped her head back. "Twenty minutes! I thought that the shop opened tomorrow?" Dorothy shook her head. "No, it opens quite soon, so…" She went into a small cabinet for a minute.
Pulling out a pink shirt and a blue skirt, she smiled. "Please wear your uniform!" Kagome nodded slowly. This was not good. She didn't even know how things worked around here, so…
Dorothy seemed to read her mind. "Oh, don't worry Kagome. All you have to do is ask people what kind of pack they want. They'll tell you and you'll give it to them and tell them the price, then they'll give you the money. It's that simple."
The manager of the shop opened the door leading into the shop. "Change here. Hurry! They're coming soon!" Kagome nodded, swiftly exchanging her clothes for the uniform.
Outside, Dorothy was greeted with an entire gaggle of boys outside the shop, all of them screaming to get in. She held up her hands, "Hold on, boys. There's a new worker here. Go easy on her. She's changing in the back."
Her little speech didn't calm the students down any. Pounding on the doors, they cried out, "Let us in!"
Okay, that was a pretty short chapter. Before anyone complains, I'd just like to say that it was the prologue, the introduction, that's why it was so short. No flames, please.
Review, and tell me if there's a piece of info I need to know to make this story, or if I did something wrong.
Please review!
