The day of the Fortune cup and I was ready to make people cry- I mean lose….yeah, cry. I made sure the ponytail was tight on Leo and smiled…then cracked up. I held onto Tanner for support.

"I am going to laugh…you look so…" I started to laugh again and wiped a tear away, "Okay, I'm done."

"So, how do I look?" Leo asked, dressing up as his sister. Luna was wearing a long jacket and covered herself up.

"Leo, you're as good as Luna." Yanagi as I gasped; is he kidding?

"Yahoo!" Leo cheered, not being anything like Luna, but she kicked him, "Ow!"

"Don't embarrass me!" Luna said, her cheeks flushing.

"Come on, Luna. Just chill out." Leo said, waving his hand, "I'm about to make you a dueling legend." He walked next to me and Yusei, "What do you say, Mr. Amnesia man, Crissy? Ready?"

"Yeah, but I say the make-up should go." Yusei said as I smiled

"Okay, but if you only tell me your name." Leo said as I smiled.

"…You'll find out soon enough." He said as I rolled my eyes.

"… If I duel you, Yusei." I whispered and chuckled, "Let's just hope it won't come to that."

"Don't tell me you think you can beat me." He said as I smirked.

"What can I say? I am full of surprises; just good luck."I said and leaned over and kissed his cheek, "That is for good luck." He blushed and looked away; this is way too fun! We were on a platform that were suppose to be on, but we could fully hear the crowds and announcer

"Duelist, young and all, professional and amateurs alike. Out your hands together for our master of ceremonies; director Rex Goodwin!" The announcer said as everyone cheered and I rocked on my heels.

"R-E-X; Rex!" The cheerleaders…cheered before stopping as wind was being blown forcefully. A tornado appeared, not another one, and a dragon appeared.

"Ladies and Gentleman, Red Dragon Arch Fiend has taken to the sky! You know what that means? Lets here it for the reigning champion, the king of the cards, the one man who rules the duel-"

"GET ON WITH IT!" I yelled, earning few stares from the opponents.

"JACK ATLAS!" The announcer finally said as 'Jacky' came on his white duel runner, doing some moves as I scoffed. He landed next to his Arch Fiend dragon. The crowd cheered louder.

"New Domino city! What say we kick this tournament into overdrive!" 'Jacky' said as I resisted the urge to vomit…So cliché! "Lets get this started!"

"It's time we meet the contestants that were selected to compete for the chance to go head to head with Mr. Atlas! The Fortune 10!" The announcer said as the platform started to rise and I took a deep breath.

"Here we go…" I muttered, ruffling Leo's hair, "Good luck, kiddo."

"W-whoa! Look at all the people!" Leo said. I didn't care about them…I cared about the people I am facing… a creepy guy in a cloak, guy in gold armor, guy practically showing his abs, Yusei, Leo, girl in red, me, guy in a robe, guy in suit, and girl in a dress…I hate her, I just do! Oh yeah…6 more other people. So…16 in total.

"Now, let's hear it for the always mysterious Shira!" creepy guy in cloak, "The great Greiger!" Guy showing abs, "Commander Koda." Guy in suit, "The professor." Guy in robe, "Miss Akiza Izniski!" girl in red, "Gill Randsborg" guy in gold armor, "The Pretty Jennifer Hareun!" girl in dress, "The Lovely Luna," Leo giving a peace sign, "The gorgeous Cristina Witen" I gave a small wave and wink. The gorgeous Cristina? I like the sound of that~. He said more names, but the others looked like…not the top-notch people you would think to be in this competition…But I am in this so I shouldn't be compleaning. "And Yusei Fudo!" He did nothing, but kept his gaze. The crowd started question very rudely. Ooh, those bastards! Oops, pardon my language.

"Huh? So your name is Yusei?" Leo asked as Yusei closed his eyes.

"Yep, now don't wear it out." Yusei said as I smiled

"That's not much of a superhero name." Leo said as I rolled my eyes; he's still on that?

"Super-what?"

"Nevermind." Leo said.

"Lose the loser! Lose the loser!" The crowd chanted, making me angry.

"That's it." I shouted and walked over to the announcer.

"What are you doin?" Leo asked

"Give me that microphone; you're obviously doing a bad job!" I shouted, and snatched it away from his hands, "I have to say something so…SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!" Everyone was quiet…good~ "My name is Cristina Y. Witen. I know things are good in this city, but where I was born and raised until moving here, you judge a person on their spirit. Yusei…" pointing at Yusei, "may have been branded as a criminal, but when I look at him, all I see is a strong duelist." And cute. "Being a duelist myself…that means I have to respect him until he gives me a reason not to and cut him down." With my knives, "Because a duelist doesn't judge another duelist based on where they comes from, or who their families are, or how much money they have! That isn't what really matters! If you don't like what I say, leave or I'll cut you down!" I finished and walked back and threw the microphone at the announcer and went back to my place, but gave a strange look to Leo as there were literally sparkles in his eyes. I went in between Leo and Yusei and closed my eyes. Feels good to threaten people… Goodwin slowly clapped and so did everyone else. I jutted my lips out and blushed lightly before rubbing the back of my head. I didn't even bother to bow at Goodwin; I really thought he was a creep.

"Thank you for those well-chosen and heartfelt words. Our world's social status and personal wealth draw a line between ourselves and our fellow duelists. I had a vision of a duel tournament that if only for a fleeting while will remove that factor…a tournament separate from the competition of life, where the haves and have-nots could meet each other on a level playing field, and prove themselves to each other and to the world…Fellow Duelist, welcome to the Fourtne Cup!" Goodwin preached as everyone cheered.

"And now, lets turn to the bracket schuffler! Lets find out who's dueling who!" Announcer said as I looked up. Greiger vs. Leo, Shira vs. Yusei, Gill vs. Akiza, Professor vs. Koda, Jennifer vs. me, Sayri vs. Zeke, Antony vs. Ryu, and Ronda vs. Mike… This will be a long day.

I sat next to Leo, and across my Yusei on this blue couch. I overlapped my legs and crossed my arms

"This duel disk you fixed for me rocks!" Leo exclaimed as Yusei did a small smile.

"I'm glad you like it." Yusei replied as I unlatched mines and sighed, "Something wrong?"

"Completely wrong; if I ever race a person who has a duel runner; I'm screwed…My… 'repair man' is taking far too long…I gotta call him right soon if I make it to the semi-finals."

"What makes you so sure that you will?" Leo asked as I smirked.

"Psh, I can take this all the way to 'Jacky'…god, that…I hate him…I'm going to butcher him, that's the only solution." I said, going completely off topic as the others sweat-dropped.

"I can't believe that I'm actually about to do this…Do you have any last minute pointers, do you?" Leo asked as I looked at Yusei expectantly.

"Yeah, remember to adapt to your opponent." He said as I propped my head up with my arm.

"I can do that, right Crissy?" Leo asked as I smiled.

"You can do anything you put your mind too; that's what my old man said." I said as Leo nodded and ran off.

"You never really told me about your parents." Yusei asked as I shrugged, "And thanks for earlier."

"Well, you never asked… I am the youngest child out of 5. I lived in…lets say I lived across the world. They all became successful; Track star, Race car driver, Gymnastic, Dancer, and Lawyer. I got most of my talents from them and used it to my advantage… I always wanted to be a duelist, but…my dad was…strict. He wanted me to become a doctor, saying it pays well and that I shouldn't be fooling around with…pointless stuff. I then ran away from home, got a plane take straight to New Domino city and was lost; no money, job, nothing… Just until I met someone who helped me… He helped me get a deck, a duel runner, and…hacked into banks so that I could get money… I then got a job, got an apartment next to Leo and Luna and kept limit contact with my dad because he would have forced me back to…home." I explained and closed my eyes, "I was so stupid. Thinking I can travel all by myself at the age of 13…but I am happy for that; I got to meet the twins, even though Lunie dear was in a coma before I met her."

"You never mention your mom." He asked as I sighed.

"She left us…when I was 8…that's when my dad got stricter. She was…tired of everyone in the family."

"I'm sorry-"

"Don't worry. I am over it…I think, but I finally accepted that my mother left me…That's my life story." I said and smirked at him, "I would ask about your life, but I feel it would bore me."

"Geez, thanks."

"Anytime~"

"Go kick some butt, Luna!" I yelled, even though I was looking at a TV screen.

"Hoping to take down Ms. Luna is the wallop of powe-"

"My god, stop with the nicknames." I groaned as Yusei slightly patted my back.

"All right, children. Play nice. Let's see those hands shake." Announcer man said as I rolled my eyes…Leo doing weird stuff to embarrass Luna; I feel bad for her, "Now, let's start the duel! Players, activate your duel disks!"

"Kick ass!" I cheered as I got a weird look from Yusei, "What?"

"You're so enthusiastic; I never saw this side of you." He said as I chuckled.

"I'm just happy for him-her-Luna." I said, stuttering at the end.

"First move is mine." Greiger said, "I draw…! From my hand, I activate Star Blast"

~~Skipping Battle~~I'm lazy~

"Victory shall be mine!" Greiger said as he blew up Leo's truck; oh no.

"Gadget holler!" Leo called out

"And now you're wide open for a direct attack!" Greiger said as a bomb literally dropped on Leo. I couldn't stand to hear Leo crying out in pain; he dropped to his knees.

"It's over! Greiger will be advancing to the quarter finals, and Luna will be getting a gift basket." Announcer man said as I literally growled and sighed. I swear that I will kick anyone's butt until I make it to the final; that's a promise to him and Luna.
