[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh....but I can dream!! The story is mine...I can't say I own all the orginal characters as four of them are me & my friends. The other made up ones....are mine...& the other freaks as we all have a say in this story...I just wrote it.

There was a girl; she was 16 soon to turn 17. She lived in Tasmania, Australia. She was an ordinary girl, watched anime, read drew, sang & wrote stories. She lived in a place called Primrose Sands; it was a very small town, only one shop. This girl didn’t know anyone from this town, she only had 4 REAL friends & she was older than them, the fact that she lived out of town made it hard for her to see them too. She had another friend, he was in America, they talked over the internet, he made her feel much better, made her smile. This girls name was Ruby Pack. On a day like every other, after she had finished school for the year, she got up to find her mother, Christine, had gone out. She had left a note telling her that she had gone to pick up Colin her boyfriend. Ruby, being used to this, merely shrugged & walked over to the bread, got to pieces out & proceeded to make herself some toast. After which she sat down to watch some T.V, one of her favourite shows was on, Yugioh. They had recently gotten Austar & she wasn’t used to have so many choices of things to watch & the fact that Yugioh was on that day had slipped her mind. As she watched the show she couldn’t help but go upstairs to her room while the add was on & grab her half built deck to flip through it while she was watching. As she did so she unconsciously began wishing that she lived in Domino, that she could meet the characters & duel with them, not that she thought that she would be a big help, but it would be fun all the same. Ruby’s deck wasn’t really HALF built; it was just that she hadn’t really looked through the deck to see if there were any cards in it that she didn’t want. She had gotten a Kaiba deck for Christmas & just put it with her already half built deck. Her cat Porky walked up & meowed at her, she smiled slightly at the cat & gave her a pat. Something happened on the show & she looked up to see…Yami & Yugi were talking about a new threat & how they had to figure out Yami’s past. Suddenly it occurred to Ruby that what they were talking about didn’t fit in with the plot…She clicked information on the remote but nothing came up. Yami faced the camera & said something to Yugi who looked confused, and then a bright light began emitting from the screen. Ruby stood up, her deck still in hand. What the fuck!? She thought as she slowly walked toward the screen.
“It is time…come forth duellist!” Said a voice that resounded around the short teen, That….sounded like Shadi….but that can’t be right…he’s a cartoon…She thought looking around nothing had changed & the odd light was still coming from the T.V, Ruby walked right up to the T.V & crouched down the light was almost blinding, but she was curious & stubborn beyond belief, so, she stayed where she was.
There was an even brighter flash, causing Ruby to black out.
When Ruby roused herself out of her slumber & opened her eyes she found it was dark & she was outside to boot.
“Okaaay….I don’t think I’m in Primrose Sands anymore….” She said looking around, it seemed to be some kind of plaza or square, a train station was behind her &…It was starting to snow. “Snow!? I’m not even in Australia any more!!” She said panicking slightly. She was starting to get a little clod as she wasn’t exactly wearing warm clothes as in Australia, it was summer. Therefore she was wearing a tee-shirt, jeans & a non sleeved top with a hood over the tee-shirt. Not good things to be wearing in the snow! She started running in a random direction, I better find somewhere to stay or I’m doomed!…DAN DAN DAAAAAA!!! Ruby stoped running for a moment to hit herself in the head for the last though, it was a habit her friend Holly had started, and whenever someone said doom she would say ‘Dan Dan Daaaa!’ It was weird, but then that’s what everyone thought of Ruby, at least…that’s what she thought. She began getting cold again so she started running once more, she was running for some time when she saw something & stoped outside something she never thought she would. Ruby Pack was standing outside the Turtle Games shop, the place where Yugi Moto & his grandfather lived. You, have GOT to be kidding me! This CAN NOT be what I think it is!! She thought walking up to the door, there was a light on inside so someone was up, maybe they would be nice enough to give her a place to sleep for the night. Who am I kidding? If this IS where Yugi lives…then he WILL give me a place to sleep…he’s WAY too nice! Ruby knocked on the glass door & waited, not long after the light came on in the shop & a young boy with Spiky blond, black & purple hair walked over.
“I’m sorry but we’re closed..” He said through the door as Ruby stared in shock, she was looking at Yugi Moto! “Miss?” Ruby shook her head & rubbed her half numb arms.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you…but I need a place to stay tonight, I don’t really know where I am & its snowing, plus I don’t really have any money on me!” She told him stamping her slippered feet to warm them up. Yugi’s eyes widened(if possible) & he nodded, before opening the door to let Ruby in. “thanks…” She said as she hurried in wanting to be out of the snow.
“No problem…but why on earth are you wearing those clothes in winter?” He asked & Ruby looked at herself laughing nervously.
“Uhhhh….well….ahhhhhhhchooooo!!!” she sneezed & rubbed her nose. “Can I explain tomorrow? I’m kinda tired & I don’t feel to well…” Yugi nodded & showed her to a small room & found her a tee-shirt & shorts that were too big for him for her to wear while her clothes dried.
Ruby went to sleep wondering how she got to be IN Yugioh….
The next morning when Ruby woke up she found, to her dismay, that she was still in the small room that Yugi had shown her too the night before. Damn…as cool & amazing as this is…I was hoping it was just a dream.. She got out of bed & walked to the door opening it, she stepped out into the small lounge room. Yugi’s grandpa seemed to be cooking breakfast & Yugi was nowhere in sight, though, she did hear water running so she figured he was taking a shower.
“Ummm….excuse me?” Ruby said uncertainly stepping toward the old man.
“Hmm?” Grandpa Moto turned & smiled when he saw Ruby. “Oh hello! Yugi told me what happened last night, are you feeling better?” he asked & Ruby smiled nervously & nodded.
“Yeah…a lot…thanks for allowing me to stay….Mr….” Ruby said not sure what to call him.
“Ho ho ho! Its quite alright, your clothes are over there, we dried them out & warmed them up for you, though I must say that they aren’t the best clothes to be wearing at this time of year…OH! Yugi found your deck in your pocket its on the table…” He pointed & Ruby looked & saw her deck. That’s right…I forgot I was holding my deck when that weird light thingy happened..
“Thanks…” She said picking it up & looking at it.
“Its no problem & you may call me grandpa…I’ll serve breakfast as soon as Yugi is out of the shower..” he said Ruby nodded again.
“ok….I’m just gonna go get changed k?” She said walking back ward & Grandpa nodded.
After Ruby changed into her normal clothes she walked back out & sat at the table to wait for Yugi who was STILL in the shower.
“Ok grandpa, I’m ready!” Yugi said as he walked out of the bathroom dressed in what Ruby recognised as his ‘Battle city outfit’. “Oh! Your up…” He said seeing her & smiling. Ruby nodded & stood up.
“Yeah…thanks again for last night I really appreciate it..” She said bowing & Yugi blushed slightly.
“Its no problem…I only did the right thing…besides I couldn’t just let you walk around in the dark & the snow in those clothes…” He said & Ruby smiled.
“I’m Ruby…” She said putting out her hand & he took it smiling happily.
“Nice to meet you Ruby, I’m Yugi…” He said brightly shaking her hand & Ruby grinned.
“I know who you are…Mr King-of-games…” She said & Yugi’s slight blush became more apparent.
“You know about that?” He asked a little surprised & she nodded.
“Ok…break it up you two its breakfast time & Yugi its not polite to stare, particularly at a girl..” Grandpa Moto said walking over to the table carrying eggs & bacon, along with some toast. They all sat down & began eating, Ruby couldn’t help but glance at the puzzle around Yugi’s neck. I wonder if Yami is awake…he’s so cute! She thought s putting some egg in her mouth.

Yugi/Yami’s POV
Yugi was curios about the girl, Ruby, she had appeared out of nowhere & she didn’t seem to be from the area.
“Yugi…Who is that girl?” Yami asked the boy who’s body he shared.
“That’s Ruby…the girl I told you about earlier…” Yugi replied his friend smiling at her.
“Really…I take it by the way your smiling at her you like her…” The Pharaoh said smirking slightly as his friend began to blush harder.
“Its not that…I…just thought of something…that’s all…” Yugi said looking at Yami, who raised an eyebrow.
“& what might that be?” He asked as Yugi grinned & switched with the mighty Pharaoh.
“YUGI!!!” Yami stood up yelling at the puzzle, he could hear Yugi giggling slightly at Yami’s predicament.

Normal POV

Ruby stared as Yugi transformed into the Pharaoh Yami or Atem as he had been known, not that he remembered at this point in the series.
“YUGI!!!” He protested as the transformation was completed, he stood up, thanks to his hair he was now the ‘same’ height as her. He looked at her, slightly red from embarrassment & anger, the look made Ruby crack up with laughter. “Uhhhh….??” He was obviously confused & that fact made her laugh harder, soon grandpa began laughing at the poor pharaoh’s confused face.
Five minute later after she had more control of herself Ruby looked at him again.
“Sorry about that…but the look on your face was soooo funny…..I couldn’t help it…” She said with an apologetic look on her face, he shook his head.
“Its fine…I can understand, I suppose my face must have looked quite funny…” He said smiling & Ruby grinned.
“More than you know Ya-Yugi…” She quickly covered her slip & hoped that he over looked it. He raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
“Yugi!!!” A voice that could be recognised as Te’a ‘s voice, Ruby forced herself not to roll her eyes or shudder, she wasn’t a BIG fan of Te’a. Yami went down stairs to talk to his & Yugi’s friends. Greeeaaaat…now I have to put up with Te’a!? Hell no! If she starts a friendship speech I may have to slap her! She thought as she stood up & slowly walked downstairs to where Yugi/ Yami was talking to ‘The gang’.
“So she just came out of nowhere last night? That poor kid…” Te’a said obviously assuming that Ruby was a small girl & not a teenager.
“Uhhhh….Te’a….” Yugi said & Ruby realised that they must have switched again.
“Yeah?” She said clueless as she had her back to the stairs & everyone else was facing them, Joey & Tristan exchanged glances as Ruby finished walking down the stairs.
“I’m not a kid…” She said & Te’a spun around wide eyed.
“WH-what?….but….” Te’a said looking from Ruby to Yugi. “Yugi what’s going on? Who is this?” She asked & Ruby rolled her eyes. Could she be any dumber!?
“Well Te’a….this is Ruby…The girl I was talking about…..Everyone I’d like you to meet Ruby my new friend..” He said bravely & Ruby had to smile at Te’a shocked face. Joey walked up.
“Hey! I’m Joey Wheeler, nice to meet ‘cha Ruby!” He said sticking out a hand & Ruby smirked.
“I know who you are….” She said & Joey cheered & began gloating. “But I’m not impressed…” Ruby finished & he turned to face her.
“Say wha?” He said & Tristan grabed him in a head lock.
“Guess your not as popular as you thought huh tough guy!?” He said giving Joey a noojie.
“Well…honestly…from your duels…you rely a lot on luck…That’s ok, but you should actually try having a strategy once in a while…” Ruby said folding her arms & raising an eyebrow.
“Whaaaa?” Was all Joey said. Tristan released him & whacked Joeys head.
“She’s got a point man…You DO rely a lot on your luck & that can only go so far.” Joey looked from Ruby to Tristan & sighed.
“I guess you do have a point…but I an’t good at makin’ strategies…” He said & Yugi walked over & patted his friends arm.
“Its ok Joey…Ruby was really only giving you some advice…Right?” He asked her hopefully & Ruby sighed.
“Yeah…advice…sure…” Was all she said & Joey got a little peeved.
“Ok then Miss big-shot…Lets see what you can do!” He said & Ruby blinked.
“What?” She said & Yugi looked worried as did Tristan, Te’a on the other hand looked at peeved as Joey.
“You heard me, I challenge you to a duel Ruby!” Ruby blinked a few more times as his words finally sunk in. “well? Are you gonna duel me or what? Or are you too scared?!” He said & her eyes narrowed.
“Your on Wheeler!” She said taking out her deck. “Why you’d think I would be afraid of a mutt like you I’ll never know!” His eyes widened after she said that. Oh…what have I gotten myself into? I can’t duel Joey, he’s way more experienced than me! But I won’t let him win!! Besides…I want to show Te’a! “Yugi?” She asked.
“Yeah?” He looked at her confused.
“May I borrow your duel-disk I haven’t got one…” She asked him politely & Te’a got even more mad as Yugi smiled & nodded. He pulled it out from behind the counter.
“Here you go Ruby…I just go it a few days ago so be careful with it…” He told her & she nodded. So…that’s when I am…Right before Battle City…interesting…maybe I can enter….But I think I’ll see how I do in this duel first… She thought as they all walked outside. Ruby & Joey got in their positions.
“Heh heh…don’t worry Ruby…I’ll go easy on ya!” He called across the field. Making Ruby’s stubbornness & determination kicked in.
“Don’t bother…I know your deck Wheeler…I know HOW you play…Do you know how I do?” She asked challengingly & he seemed to realise what he was up against, a duellist that knew him but he had know idea about her…he didn’t know what was in her deck, the style of duelling she used none of it! Perfect…now he knows what he’s up against.
“Lets duel!” They both said. Never thought I’d be saying that with Joey Wheeler as my opponent…But I can do this…She thought determinedly. She drew her hand after the duel-disk set up.
Ruby drew the trap card Beckoning Light, the magic card Goblin thief, Garuda the wind spirit, her Toll magic card & Boar Soldier. OK…I can summon Boar Soldier…but it can only be summoned by a flip summon so I’ll have to put it face down…I’d summon Garuda…but I haven’t got a wind monster in my graveyard yet…so I’ll save him for later… She thought to herself.
“Ladies first…” Joey said & Ruby smirked always wanting to do this, she didn’t move.
“Well?” She said folding her arms & tilting her head.
“I SAID ladies first!” He said annoyed & she grinned.
“I know…I’m waiting for you to move…” Tristan burst out laughing & Joey looked really mad.
“SAY WHAT!? WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING!?” He demanded pointing at her as she laughed dangerously.
“Just make your move Wheeler…” She told him & once again everyone went quiet & stared at her & she smirked. “What? I don’t remind you of anyone do I?” Ruby asked & Joey shook his head.
“Your not related to Kaiba are ya?” he asked & Ruby rolled her eyes.
“AS IF!!” She said & began tapping her foot. “Are we going to duel or not!?” She asked & He began.
“Ok! Stand back!” He said as he drew his card. Why oh why do they say ‘stand back’!? Its so annoying & predictable! She thought as he began to make his move. “I play Alligator Sword in attack mode & place one card face down….your move newbie!” He said & Ruby gave him an ‘I’m Soooooo scared look’ & drew her card. Amazoness Blowpiper…could be handy later on…but for now… Ruby put her hand on Boar Soldier.
“I play one monster face-down & I play this card for later…” She said she could see that Joey was nervous, that monster could be anything, but, it could be weaker than his for all he knew, maybe she was just trying to make him THINK it was stronger than his.
“Alligator Sword! Attack her face down monster!” The alligator worrier attacked her monster just as she new he would. Sooo predictable Joey… His monster attacked & was destroyed. “SAY WHAT!?” Joey said surprised.
“I reveal Boar Soldier!” Said Ruby flipping her monster over for all to see. She smirked at the look on Joey’s face. “That was an armature mistake Wheeler…perhaps you should call it a day.” She said knowing he would refuse.
“No way! I’m gonna end this duel!” He said. Ruby shook her head, little does he know I have a VERY powerful card in my deck that isn’t supposed to exist in this place…thanks to Kaiba… “ My move!” Joey said drawing his card, by the look on his face it wasn’t what he’d hoped for. “Ok! I play Scape Goat!” He said playing the card & four coloured goats appeared on the field. I just realised…he doesn’t have any REALLY good cards…he gets all those in Battle City! The only thing I have to worry about is his Red Eyes…perfect! “That’s all for now….your move Ruby…” He said & Ruby smiled & drew. Just what I need…Thunder of Ruler…She thought looking at the card.
“I place one card face down & that’s all…” She said looking Joey square in the eye, he gulped like he knew she had it in for him.
“Ok…uhhhh…My….move…” He drew. “OH YEAH!! THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN ABOUT!!” He cried & Ruby raised an eyebrow. “I sacrifice two of my scape goats to summon RED EYES BLACK DRAGON!!” He said as he placed in on the duel-disk & the hologram Red eyes appeared. “What’d ay think of that huh!?” he said & Ruby smirked.
“So what…you summoned your dragon…the most powerful monster in your deck…I’m SOOOOO scared…NOT!” She said.
“I’ll show you!” He said getting, once again, angry. “Red ey-”
“Not so fast!! I activate the trap Thunder of Ruler!!” He froze wide eyed.
“Wha?” he said confused obviously not knowing what the card does.
“This card forces you to end your turn not completing your battle phase..” She told him slowly losing patients with his stupidity.
“Awww man!!!!” he said ending his turn.
“I guess its my turn…” Ruby said drawing. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the card she had drawn…Tyrant Dragon…Just what I’ve been waiting for! “I summon Amazoness Blowpiper in attack mode! Then…I’ll sacrifice my two monsters to summon Tyrant Dragon!!” The mighty Dragon appeared on the field just as a black limo pulled up & Seto Kaiba & his little brother Mokuba got out. Oh Great! This is just what I needed! Ruby thought looking at them.
“Well Wheeler…it seems you’ve found some competition….maybe…” Kaiba said & Ruby frowned. Now I really want to win….&….with THAT CARD!! She thought wanting to show Kaiba.
“Tyrant Dragon! Attack his red eyes!!” She commanded & her dragon attacked destroying Joey’s dragon & taking 400 LP away to leave him with 3100LP. “AND…because I like you Soooooo much Wheeler…I’m gonna reveal my magic card Goblin Thief! This magic card takes 500 of your life points & gives them to me!” She said smirking, Joey looked worried now, she was countering every move he made & he was down to 2700LP. “Your move….” She told him…he drew & wasn’t too happy…I…I sacrifice one of my last two scape goats to summon Panther Worrier in Defence mode!” Joey ended his turn & Ruby drew.
“Ok….I summon 1 monster face down in defence mode & that will do for now…” She told him, he looked somewhat surprised as did everyone else.
“Ok then…” he drew, apparently his luck wasn’t with him once again. “I switch my Panther Worrier to attack mode & I sacrifice my last scape goat to allow it to attack! Panther Worrier attack her face down card defence card!” He ordered & that’s what Panther Worrier did.
“By destroying my Spear Cretin we can both summon back one monster from our graveyards…” Ruby told him as she did so. “I call back my Boar Soldier!!!” She said placing it back on the field.
“You know you shouldn’t have done that…I call back my RED EYES BLACK DRAGON!!!” He said as the black dragon appeared once again on the field. Ruby smiled & Joey nodded understanding. “Thanks” He said quietly & Ruby nodded slightly. “I end my turn…” He said, Ruby shook her head…That was a mistake that is going to cost him….big…. She thought drawing.….hmmm…..Harpie girl….I know!
“I discard the card I just drew & then remove it from play entirely too special summon Garuda the wind spirit!” She said placing the card on the field. “Now….I attack Red eyes black dragon once again with Tyrant dragon!!!” The attack took Joey’s LP down to 2300. If I draw that card now….I’ll win….She thought as she waited Joey to make his move. He drew & sighed….
“I end my turn” he said slightly defeated. Well…I guess this hasn’t been to bad for my first duel…I did give him a chance but it looks like he’s given up…he’s not gonna like what I do…but…I’m gonna! She drew, knowing it was the card she wanted & needed, she closed her eyes as she lifted it & then opened one…OH MY GOD!! I DID IT!! I DREW THE RIGHT CARD!! Ruby’s face suddenly went from worried to determined.
“Wheeler….I’m really sorry to have to do this to you….” She looked at the card in her hand. I sacrifice two of my monsters to summon….THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!!!!!!” She said placing the card on the duel-disk & watching the hologram appear. Everyone was stunned, particularly Kaiba, he was in shock. The look on Joey’s face said it all ‘what the fuck?!’. That was the look on everyone’s faces. “BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON ATTACK WITH WHITE LIGHTNING!!!” Joeys Panther Worrier was defeated & He was left with 1300 LP. “Your move Joey…” She said giving him one last turn to help himself.
“Ok…….” he drew & it was obviously not a monster as he summoned nothing & ended his turn.
“Ok Joey..” Ruby drew & then sighing ordered the attack. Joeys LP were taken down to zero & the duel ended.
Ruby walked over to Joey & put out a hand. “Good duel Wheeler…” She said as he took it & she helped him up.
“Geez…Ruby…Ya could have warned me you were that good!” he said putting his hand behind his head & Ruby began laughing. “What? I say something funny!?” He said confused......
Thats all for now! Rate & Review please...I'd like to know what you think! The next one will be out soon!
