The way this is written is one paragraph is from Kaku's point of view and the second paragraph is written from Fen's POV. It will change later on with some sections from other characters POV's as well.
Without further a do, here is our fanfiction!
The guests started to crowd around the stage where Kaiba would be appearing soon. Mokuba ran off back stage and Fen and Kaku were left alone for a while.
"He seems like a nice kid, always happy too, thats a good thing." Fen laughed, "It's too bad his older brother isnt always there for him."
Kaku sighed.
"Well it wasn't always like that...." She said and trailed off, she shook her head, "Kaiba is running a huge business, so it's hard for him to always be there, but he does a lot for Mokuba." Kaku said and smiled to herself, "If you look beyond everything, I think he is a really good person." She added. Tea suddenly appeared behind her.
"Ooooh Kaku, you loon, stop droning on about Kaiba!" She said and grabbed Kaku in a head lock.
"Ack!! Tea?!?" Kaku squealed.
Once again the annoyance factor struck Fen. More and more people started to fill the small area as time went by, their whole gang finally showed up as well. A speaker came on and annouced Kaiba's introduction.
"I'm sure you're all impressed by my amusement park arent you?" he gloated to the crowd, some people cheered but the expression on Kaiba's face didnt change, "Now to the reason why you are really here, most of you have something in common, most of you I brought here because you are the best duelists in your regions and some of you, like Joey, are here because they would've committed suicide if they couldnt come." Kaiba jeered, "Yugi, you promised me a duel and I intend to make sure you keep that promise, but for the rest of you, you can try to defeat him in a duel and then duel me, if you have a deck step forward"
All but five people stepped forward. "Mokuba you can choose one person to stay." Kaiba said.
"I choose Kaku!" Mokuba exclaimed with a smile.
"Fine, the rest of you go home." he pointed to the exit with choppers on the helipads, those sad few people left, "The rest of you are involved in a duel tournament, each of you will be given a park map, there will be twenty locations on the map where you need to recieve a minature ride token. You see, each highlighted ride on your map has a duel field waiting to be played on, but I've assigned you all a specific home ride that you must protect. You are the guardian of that ride, if someone comes to your field you must battle them, there are two people per home field who protect their field. You have to recieve all of the ride tokens in order to get to the finals, there will be five finalists in the end. You are given three of the same ride tokens for your home field, if you lose those three ride tokens you lose the tournament. If you are challenged on your field and are defeated then you relinquish one of your tokens, if you are challenged and win your duel you may take one of their ride tokens from the loser but not their own home ride tokens. You can only challenge someone by going to their field. Each of your home fields has been made to suite each of your decks with field cards, defending your field has advantages but the only way you can win is by battling each other. Once the five finalists have been chosen you are to report to dragon lake. You have seven days starting tomorrow to get to the finals, you will sleep in the cabins constructed at Kaiba Corner. I'll see you in seven days, let the games begin!" Kaiba yelled and walked off the stage. 'So this was his plan all along, interesting, I have to get to the finals for everything to work.' Fen thought
Kaku ran over when Mokuba came out from behind the stage. She grabbed him in a big hug.
"Mokuba you are seriously the greatest!" Kaku exclaimed. Mokuba laughed.
"Thanks!" He said and smiled. Joey was grummbled about how Kaiba was a big fat jerk as the group walked over to where Kaku was.
"So Mokuba, where's Kaiba Corner?" Yugi asked, he wasn't too excited to have to enter another tourament, but at least it was something to do.
"Its over here, I'll show you!" Mokuba said and started to walk over towards the area.
"Kaku you are so lucky." Tea said and nudged her arm. Kaku giggled.
"Well your lucky you brought your deck." Kaku retorted and Tea nodded.
"Yes, yes thats very true." She said and laughed along with Kaku.
"I just want to kick Kaiba's snotty rich ass!" Joey growled under his breath.
Fen was somewhat excited, probably because everyone else was just as excited. They all arrived at Kaiba Corner, one of the machine ride robots was standing in front of the village. There were cozy cottages placed in the area, some even with chimney stacks.
"Attention duelists." the monotone machines voice called out, "Duelists are assigned a cabin, a number will be annouced follwed by two names, the number is the assigned bulding, C-15 Triston Taylor with Soluki Valentine, B-6 Tea Gardner with Kaku Tusbaskita, A-2 Yugi Moto, D-5 Braz Yukoro with Saigo Plumier" the list went on and on.
"Why am I the only one with my own cottage?" Yugi thought and asked alooud.
"Tent-0 Joey Wheeler"
"Whaaa? Kaiba! I'm not sleepin in a tent!!" Joey yelled.
"Would Mr. Wheeler like an escort?" The robot outstrectcched its pincer like hands towards Joey.
"Nyahhh! Nyahh! No! I'm good!" Joey took off running.
"Joey sleep in my cottage!" Yugi screamed at now the black dot running away from the group. Fen started to laugh at it all, it was a long time since he had enjoyed himself.
Kaku was overly excited.
"If this wasn't in an amusement park I would think it was like summer camp!" Kaku said and jumped up and down, she loved staying in cottages. It was like a vacation almost, aside from the dueling.
"Yeah yeah, you only say that because you get to watch! You dont have to duel!" Tea said and shook her head sadly. Kaku giggled.
"C'mon lets check out our cottage!" Kaku shouted and dragged Tea off towards there assigned cottage. She threw the door open and leaped inside. It was amazing, there were two queen sized beds, covered in what looked like very comfy pillows. There was a bathroom, and a flat panel TV in front of a couch. There was also some dresser's and two small closets. Kaku clapped her hands together excitedly, Tea looked around impressed.
"Wow. I wasn't really expecting something this nice." She said as she looked around the room.
"Leave it to Kaiba to throw the worlds best tourament!" Kaku said and jumped on her bed, it was nice and squishy soft, just how she liked it, "Ooooh yeaaahhh!" Kaku said and buried her face in one of the many pillows.
"You are so easy to please!" Tea said and laughed, she jumped on her own bed, "Whoa, this is nice..." Tea said. Kaku laughed at her.
"Told ya so!" She retorted.
Fen walked into his cottage, he didn't imagine it to be anything like this, he expected a small wooden cabin style setup instead he got a hotel suite. A lot of luxieries. 'This guy does way too much.' Fen thought.
"Wow this is nice!" Triston commented.
"Yeah it is!" Fen couldn't believe it. It was late so Fen decided to take a shower, in his head he had flashbacks of his sleepless nights thinking of ways to take revenge on Kaiba. He would lay there sleepless in his bed, he would claw the inside of his legs to deal with his pain. He looked down at his legs to see some of the scarring still there, he didnt want to think about that, not when everything was in place now. After taking a shower he found Triston passed out on his bed. Fen decided to relax and turned on the tv.
Kaku closed her eyes and sighed, Tea was in the shower. She got another headache and pressed her palm against her left eye. 'Not again...I thought I finally escaped that.' Kaku thought bitterly to herself. The pain subsided as Tea opened the bathroom door.
"Do you want to take a shower Kaku?" Tea asked.
"Maybe in the morning." Kaku replied, she was staring up at the celing. 'I thought I finally figured out how to control that goddman eye.' Kaku thought and pressed her hand against her eye again. Tea turned on the tv to drama re-runs. Kaku crawled under her covers and decided to go to sleep a little earlier than normal.
The next morning they were awoken by a familiar voice over the speakers throughout the park.
"Get up you lazy scum, yes Wheeler that means you, everyone meet at dining building in one hour." The voice clicked off. Fen got out of bed. Triston was still lying there motionless so Fen decided to poke him a few times. He finally stirred and Fen figured it was good enough. Fen walked outside and ran into Tea as he stepped out of his cottage. He tripped over her and fell to the ground, face first, he came back up with a bloody nose.
Kaku heard the voice and jumped up to run into the shower.
"You better hurry!!" Tea shouted as she left the cottage, only to have Fen slam into her, "Ooof!" Tea groaned as she almost fell over. Kaku jumped out of the shower and quickly pulled on her clothes, she jumped out of the cottage, her hair still dripping wet. She noticed Fen on the ground with a bloody nose.
"Oh? What happened here?" She asked.
"Just a lil run in, ohh I'm bleeding, oh well! So how was your sleep ladies?" Fen asked.
"Oh god! I'm so sorry!!" Tea fretted and reached out a hand to help him to his feet.
"Well uh...I slept okay..."Kaku replied as she watched Tea freak out and apologize a million times. She felt the pressure behind her eyes and rubbed it a few times until the pain went away. 'Arrrggghhh! Stupid eye! Why now??!?' She growled in her mind.
"It's ok for the millionth time Tea!" he laughed and shooed her apologies, "What's wrong Kaku?"
"Urggh...Nothing really, it's no big deal." Kaku said and adverted her gaze. It wasn't a subject she really wanted to talk about, since she had that extreme freak out at the orphange, she never wanted to talk about her eye again, "I'm fine, just forget about it." Kaku said and waved her hands in front of her, "Let's head over to breakfast!" She said, changing the subject. She turned and started walking towards the dining area, Tea followed behind her.
Fen took another peek inside of his room to make sure Triston was moving and he was, so he headed to the dining building. The hall was extravagent, it looked to be a high quality fine dinging restaurant, something you wouldn't see at an amusement park. This didnt seem to suprise Fen anymore, he realized that Kaiba just liked to show off his money. Not many people had come yet to the breakfast but more and more kept coming in little by little, the food was amazing as well, some types of food he had never heard of but everything was amazing.
"I'm in hefan!" he said to Yugi as he spit some food from his stuffed mouth.
Yugi laughed at Fen.
"This is really good food!" He agreed as he chowed down. Mokuba came into the hall and ran over to where Kaku was sitting with Anzu.
"So how did you like the cottage?" He asked and both girls smiled.
"Amazing!" Kaku said and Mokuba smiled.
"Great! Are you excited to watch the duels today Kaku?" He asked and Kaku nodded.
"You bet! It's gunna be a blast!" She said and Mokuba nodded.
"I know! I can't wait either! This is gunna be awesome!" He agreed.
Kaiba appeared in front of everyone again.
"The Kaiba Land tournament starts today, each of you will be given your home field and three ride tokens, defend them well" Kaiba stepped of the stage as soon as he finished his sentence.
"Tea do you mind if I tag around your field?" Kaku asked.
"Thats fine with me!" Tea said brightly.
"Great!!" Kaku said and clapped her hands together.
"When announced each duelist will step forward, you will be given your home fields, at that time you are to report to your field and wait, the tournament will start when announced, good luck" A robotic voice said to the crowd, everyones name was called to their own home fields. Fen already knew what type of field he was going to be sent to, he wondered how similar his other home field partners deck would mimic his own. Fen was sent what looked like an ancient old egyptian part of the park, but this was the water park 'not too bad' he thought. He went over to the dueling field which was between the two ancient towers and waited for his partner to arrive.
Kaku followed Tea over to her field, it was located in the kiddy section. 'I should have figured as much, cutie girly cards are in the kiddy park..' Kaku thought to herself as she looked around.
"Awww this place is so cute!!" Tea squealed. Tea's partner was already there, she had bright pink hair and was super girly.
"HHHIIIIIIIIIII!!!" The pink haired girl squealed. Even for Kaku and Tea, her voice was too high pitched and annoying.
"Umm Hi?" Tea repiled, Kaku just waved. As Tea and the girl talked, Kaku moved off to the side and looked at the kiddy rides that were surrounding them. 'This is cute, im sorta amazed Kaiba made this section, actually, who am I kidding, Mokuba probably designed this. The Kaiba I know now wouldn't desgin someplace this....cute and adorable.' Kaku thought to herself. She missed the old Kaiba from the orphange, he was so much sweeter and nicer and he smiled all the time. 'I know hes still like that somewhere inside....' Kaku thought to herself.
Fen had watched his partner walk across what seemed to be the long desert, he was a shorter kid, wearing blue, he had brown hair, and a smiley face.
"Hey there my names Utsumi! Are you my partner?" the kid asked, 'oh great another annoying fuckwad like Yugi,'
"Yeah it seems so, im Soluki Valentine" Fen replied, "I'm guessin you like crysstal beasts also?" Fen asked.
"Well sorta! I have crystal beast monsters but I've never played with their field abilities before!" he answered, "but my deck is setup a totally different way, I have a lot of other montsters also!"
"Good good, I just wanted to make sure we weren't too much alike." Fen laughed, "I didn't want our opponents to be bored or know what exactly was in each of our decks."
"So what do we do now?" the boy asked.
"I think we wait for whatever tells us to start the tournament." Fen replied.
"HEY! IM SAKURA YOISHE!!" The pink haired girl shouted to Kaku, pulling her out of her flashbacks of the orphange.
"Oh Hey? Im Kaku Tusbasikta!" Kaku said and smiled back.
"Are you a duelist too??" Sakura asked.
"No no no!" Kaku said and waved her arms in front of her.
"Shes just watching." Tea added.
"Oh yeah! You got picked to stay in the park even though you aren't a duelist! Thats awesome!" Sakura said and smiled. Kaku nodded.
"Mmmhmmm." She replied.
"Well this is getting boring just sitting and waiting here" the young kid said.
"Yeah it is, but it's just the calm before the storm." Fen replied, the loud speaker kicked on.
"This is the start of the Kaiba Land duelist tournament, five finalists will emerge from this week long tournament, let the games begin." Kaiba's voice clicked off of the loud speaker.
"Well that was simple and to the point." Fen laughed, "Well let the games start then!" Fen said as he walked out of his home field looking at his map.
Kaku heard the voice and Sakura clapped her hands together and jumped up and down.
"THIS IS SO EXCITING!" She squealed.
"I hope no one too strong comes our way..." Tea said to herself. Kaku pulled out her map, although she wasn't dueling.
"There are so many parts to this park! And so many fields!" Kaku said aloud as she glanced over everything. 'This is going to be an intense tourament...' She thought.
Fen looked down at his map. 'Well lets try the closest field first, water, that doesnt sound too bad and it probably helps out some of my other cards also.' Fen thought he walked over to the field, it only took him two minutes before he saw how the field was laid out. He saw both of the home field duelists still there, both of them must have decided to not walk out and challenge other people. 'Probably novices.' Fen thought.
"Water field! I challenge you and your home field duelist to a duel!" Fen yelled.
"I accept your duel!" A guy with black hair with no shirt yelled back, Fen had to grin. 'This guy's a joke.' he thought, they both stepped up to the field.
"Please annouce names before duel starts." A mechanical voice stated.
"Soluki Valentine!" Fen yelled.
"Mako Tsunami!" His opposer said.
"Let the duel start!" the computer voice stated.
Away in Kaiba Castle in a secret monitoring room sat Kaiba and his staff.
"Mr. Kaiba the first duelist battle has started." a bald guy said.
"Put in on screen 1." Seto demanded.
"Duelist Aalentine and duelist Tsunami on water field sir." the bald guy replied 'excellent, now I can figure out who this kid is and if he's a challenge to me at all.' Kaiba thought.
Sakura left kiddy land to go look for duels, while Tea stayed behind. A weaker duelist, named Saku Binya, had come from the insect field, he said that Weevil had kicked him out. Amazingly, Tea ended up winning, while the kid looked like he was going to cry.
"You did really good! It was fun dueling you!" Tea said smiling and waving. The kid didn't look too happy.
"Whatever." He said and stormed off.
"Wow, he's a sore loser." Tea said to Kaku, who nodded.
"I'd say so!" Kaku replied, "Congrats on your victory though! You were great!" Kaku said and gave Tea a high five.
"Thanks Kaku!" Tea said and giggled. 'Too bad Kaiba wasn't dueling, I'd love to see him duel now. Back at the orphange he would duel with Mokuba and the other kids, he was always so good, he was good at everything! I wonder how much better hes gotten..' Kaku wondered to herself.
"I hope no one strong comes over here!" Tea said, staring at the entry way to Kiddy Land.
"Oh dont worry Tea!" Kaku said and smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up, "I'm sure you'll do fine!" She added. Tea laughed nervously.
"I hope so.." She said.
The duel between Mako and Fen was fierce, but in the end somehow Fen beat Mako at his ocean field.
"I had you grasping for air in a whirlpool! and you somehow swam out! How!?" Mako exclaimed.
"I guess I'm just lucky at this!" Fen smiled, after the battle Mako relinquished one of his field tokens to Fen, "It was a hard fought battle, good luck with the rest of your feats!" Fen said to Mako.
"You too, your respect towards me is like the respect shared with the ocean and the moon, thank you." Mako said. Fen nodded and waved good-bye. He put the token into the map and his name appeared along with the total number of tokens he had compared to evryone else, so far he was the only one, but he spoke too soon because Tea's name had just appeared. 'Wow she can duel? Maybe tomorrow I'll drop by and pay her a visit.' he thought, he needed somewhat of a rest before he would travel to his next journey, so he decided to search for the nearest concession stand to get food and figure out the full potential of his park map.
Kaku was laying down on a bench waiting around, while Tea was looking through her deck and trying to figure out what the best strategy was. 'I can't wait till the finals....I just want to see Kaiba duel...I mean, it's going to be amazing.' Kaku thought to herself. She stared up at the clear blue sky. 'I sorta wish he remembered who I was, he is so important to me but yet he has no idea who I even am...oh well, I guess I do look a lot different, and we were both very young....' Kaku figured to herself and sighed. She closed her eyes and heard someone else challenge Tea, Tea sounded so nervous when she accecpted. Kaku sat up and opened her eyes to watch the duel.
Fen looked on his map and saw the wind field was by him and that there was a food stand on the way with bathrooms. 'Gold Mine!' Fen thought and walked faster to the spot, after reliveing himself he purchased a burger and sat down at a table. It was somewhat eerie but it was a nice sunny day where he could enjoy the weather. He viewed his park map, inside he found a player profile program with lists of all the players, what their home fields were and how many tokens they had, they also said how long each of their duels were. 'That could be useful.' Fen thought. He decided to stop dilly dallying with his map and head over to the wind field. He arrived to see that it, being a wind field, was perched on something hat looked like a birds nest, he went to the bottom of the elevator.
"Please announce duelist name." a computer voice said.
"Soluki Valentine"
"We're sorry, but the home field duelists are not here at this time, please check our gps map to see where they are located in the park, if a duelist is not currently in battle you may call him back to his home field by pressing his icon." Fen noticed that Suzuki Konami was in battle at the dragon field already, but Abe Naota wasn't far away and wasnt in battle.
"Here goes nothing." Fen said as he pushed his icon.
"Notifying Abe Naota of a challenger." the robotic voice stated, his icon lit up and almost immediately started coming back to the wind field. 'neat' Fen thought, 'now to just sit and wait, he's got a lil ways to come.' Fen sat down on a park bench looking over his cards and waited.
Sadly, Tea lost the duel, but still seemed happy and thanked the person for a fun and challenging duel. At least he wasn't a sour-puss like the last guy. Kaku layed back down on her bench, Sakura came back and roared so loudly Kaku flipped off the bench and landed on the pavement.
"I CANT BELIEVE I LOST TWO DUELS!!" Sakura screamed and stomped her feet on the ground like an angry child. Kaku and Tea both blinked. She acted like a 4 year old, even Mokuba who was technically younger than her acted more mature.
"I'm uh...sorry Sakura." Tea said, Sakura was still pouting and stomping around in circles.
"That was so unfair! BAH BAH! STUPID STUPID!" Sakura screamed. Kaku rubbed her ears and rolled her eye, "I'M STAYING HERE FROM NOW ON! SO THERE!!" Sakura stated and sat down on the pavement.
"W-we weren't going to stop you." Tea said, she was even getting annoyed with this girl. Sakura pouted. 'I never even saw girls like that at the orphange, and I was the most hated one there, so I think I saw the bad side of everyone.' Kaku thought to herself as she watched Sakura's antics.
Fen was just starting to doze off when he looked up to see Abe walking towards him, Fen nodded and Abe did the same. Abe the walked to the tower without saying a word pushed the elevator button and went up. 'Wooow what a prick!' Fen thought. After Abe went up, Fen waited to push the elevator button then the doors opened and Fen rode up the elevator. He reached the top and Abe had already taken his side of the field, watching as Fen went to take his position. Once both were in posisiton a voice kicked on.
"Duelists state their names." They stated them, "Let the game begin!" The first couple of turns everything was quiet until Fen was down by three thousand points, then he drew the perfect card and Abe couldnt attack him. One by one Fens power grew and Abe was defeated, without saying a word he tossed his token at Fen and stomped off the platform. Fen put the token in his map and saw that there were five other duelists who had won twice today. 'I think thats enough for the first day.' Fen thought, he went down the elevator and went back to his cottage.
After another few duels, Kaku and Tea decided to head back to the cottage, Tea had won another duel, so she was really excited, but also exhausted. As soon as they got back to the cottage Tea took a nap, she fell asleep on top of her bed, not even under the covers. Kaku giggled at her friend. 'Hey...what about clothes, I meant to ask Mokuba but I forgot...' Kaku thought to herself. She went over to the what she assumed was empty closet and opened it. Kaku's mouth opened in shock, somehow it was filled with her clothes, though not the ones she would have hoped.
"Arrrghhh!" Kaku growled under her breath. Almost half of the clothes were the sundresses and more ornate desginer things she bought when she first found out all the money she had and went on a shopping spree. She had tucked most of them away in her closet and bought more normal clothing so it didn't stand out that she was rich. At least there were some normal clothes in their too, she sighed. 'I would ask how these all got here, but I'm not sure I really want to answer to that.' Kaku thought to herself and closed the closet door again.
Fen returned to his cottage, there was a note on his door that read: 'Dear Mr. valentine, we regret to inform you that we were unable to locate your clothing that we were to bring to you at this tournament, we were not able to locate your place of residence either. Please give Mokuba Kaiba your adress so we are able to bring your wardrobe to you, thanks for your cooperation- Kaiba Land Office.' Fen stared at the note, 'Shit, I can't tell them, what do I do?' Fen thought, 'I'll lie, where did I say I was from? Ummm its not that far away, Shit! wait I know wat I'll do, I'll tell them where I live, but I'll have one of my men waiting for one of Kaiba's butlers, its one butler, Kaiba wont even know that hes gone! Ok now I need to get a hold of the phone I brought' Fen ran inside to his cottage to setup the plan.
Kaku pulled out one of the dresses, it was black with white edges and a black ribbion laced through the white lace-like material around the hems. Kaku sighed and changed into it. It still fit her. 'I guess this will have to do....Tea is gunna be way to happy about this though.' Kaku thought to herself and grimmaced. No one knew that she was rich, she never told anyone, it would just create too many problems. 'No one should be able to tell this is designer though, I doubt anyone around here would know.' Kaku thought and slipped out of the cottage to get some food. She was starving. She pulled out her map and wandered off in the direction of the nearest food stand.
Oooh what will happen next? What is Fen's plan?! Well you will all figure that out in the next section of course! Comment if you wish! Enjoy your day!
