The following writing above is based on a dream that I have had, so please don't criticize (I don't want any constructive criticism either, I want to progress on my own thanks xDD) if the characters are not acting like "they usually do" THANKS! Hope fully I will get them right! YU-GI-OH! And its characters/themes/cards belong to Kazuki Takahashi! Saranna, background characters, villians, Shikoba Feather Dragon and Titus belong to ME!

Saranna Kiereno is your average every day teenager trying to get through what life throws at her at an everyday basis! An avid Duel Monsters card player, she always has her cards on hand ready to challenge anyone who likes the game as much as she does. But on top of her dad working 24/7, her younger siblings gone off to live with their friends for the summer and always moving from place to place with no connection to friends, life gets lonely for this 18 year old...that is until she meets an unexpected person who she practically is crazy over! Seto Kaiba is Saranna's idol in the Duel Monsters world and she really wants to try out her skills as a Duel Monster player. But because of recent problems started up by Kaiba, her and the Red Bandit Gang, will she ever be able to duel him and really get to know Seto Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba? Or will she find out something she never wanted to learn from him in the first place?


Chapter 1 He is Here!

Lights. Lots of flashing, colorful lights! There was a loud roar of chatting and cheering in the middle of the bowl-shaped structure; a big fuss was being made over the event taking place.

"Kids and their video games!" I chuckled to myself as I traveled deeper into building.

This building I was in was Arcade Gecki Ryu, and it happened to be the largest one in the country; and I, was lucky enough to live not too far from it! Now, you may be wondering, "Why I am at this place!" and more importantly "who I may be?" Well, I ended up coming to this place for the supposed "convention" that was taking place this very day, but so far, there is no sign of it! As for who I am, the names Saranna Kiereno, but you can call me Sarah for short! I am a short spiky haired brunette, with green colored eyes, who has a thing for Duel Monsters cards and their various designs. Ha-ha, I must take after from my father! He designs monster cards for a living! Because of my dad's job though, we move quite a lot with my younger brother and sister, leaving me without little to no friends, but, eh, I can live with it I guess. So here's the rundown! Saranna Kiereno,short, brown hair, green eyes, DUEL MONSTERS! That's all I can give you at the moment, I still need to find that convention! Nobody here is in costume!

Glancing around with a plastic bag in hand that held my costume; I spotted some boys off to my right. I think they would be able to help me find the convention within this mayhem! Eyes glued to the blinking screen, the much younger boys did not even notice when I came and stood next to them.

"Do you know where the convention is?" I questioned, startling the boys, which made them all jump in unison.

"GAME OVER!" the machine announced loudly with an exploding sound soon following after... that is when the boys started to complain.

The one that was playing the game turned to me slowly. Blood shot eyes and barred teeth greeted me, he then bursted out breathing in short quick breaths," DO you know how long I have been playing THAT?" He practically screamed in my face, catching the attention of bystanders around us. Flinching at the outburst, I laughed out nervously as the young kid shoved his face inches away from my own.

"N-n-no…" I started to stutter.

Now regretting that I even thought of asking these game addicts for directions, I slowly took a step back. But in that same moment, the snot nosed kid was barking in a barrage of spitting anger, "8 HOURS! 8 HOURS I TELL YOU! I almost got top score until YOU came along! I-!" Before his beat red face could say anymore, I was backing away into a crowd of passer byes, slipping out of his view, and finally away from him and his buddies.

"Whew!" I breathed out, as I then realized my face had the boys spit on it. 'Eeewwww!' I yelled in my head, taking my sleeve and whipping away the nasty slobber the boy had flung all over me. Letting out a sigh and able to relax my shoulders from the fright, I slowly made my way through the crowds of people.

'I just have to find someone who is not so busy to ask,' I pondered. 'And someone who doesn't spit!' I added, cringing at the thought.

I soon found myself standing in front of an energetic group of people of all ages; the crowd I had first spotted when I first came in who were cheering on something…or someone.

Blinding spotlights faced down toward the middle of the gathered crowd, where a loud man with sunglasses and spiky blue hair away from the "action" announced, "OH! The opponent just activated the reigning champions TRAP CARD! What is he going to do now?" Ignoring the announcers' words, I proceeded to walk to the nearest guy near me, and ask what room the convention was being held. But before I could ask the man, the announcer yelled enthusiastically, "WOWEE! This is surely the moment not be missing today! Our champion has just played his Blue Eyes White Dragon cards! His opponent is in a jam now!" Now, my attention had been caught, eye brows raised, I craned my neck to see this so called "reigning champion," but to no avail.

"It couldn't be-"

Completely forgetting about the convention, I pushed my way through the crowd, trying to get to the center to see who it was. Only one person had a Blue Eyes White Dragon, but coming here, of all places? I soon stopped dead in my tracks. Eyes wide, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the reason why everyone gathered here for this card game of Duel Monsters.

He was handsome and tall, wore a long white leather trench coat which had a brilliant crimson that lined the inside of the coat. He had bronze colored locks, and those famous icy blue eyes that had such ferocity with one look would kill…it was no other than Seto Kaiba himself.
