Chapter 1: Legend of Eternia.

Yugi sat quietly in class, her face showed obvious annoyance. She was currently bored to death and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, but no, sadly, she couldn't. She had to stay in this hell hole and listen to the damn teacher talking about the history of their world over and over again. Yugi snorted. She knew a lot more than that old man could ever do. The teacher noticed this and walked toward her desk.

"Yugi, if my lessons really bored you so much then would you please be so kind to repeat what I've just said for all the class to hear then?" The other students started to sneer at her. Some were teasing and some were insulting her, without the teacher's notice of course. Yugi scowled.

"You were talking about the history of our world, Eternia, just like every other stupid lessons you had taught." The class went silent at this. No one had ever dared to challenge their history teacher, but then again, Yugi was never a 'no one'. The teacher was now red with anger.

"How dare you talk to me like that! I am one of the most respected teachers in this school!" He shouted at her. She immediately snapped back.

"I don't give a damn about who or what are you! How the fucking hell did you expect me to sit here and listen to the same thing every single day!?"

"Then get out of my class this instant!"

"Fine!"

She walked over to her desk, gathered her belongings and stomped out of the room, but not before sending them a hateful glare that sent a shiver down their back drastically.

Yugi dropped her bag with a loud 'thump' as she stepped into the house and slammed the door so hard it shook like an earthquake. She stared blankly ahead of her and all of a sudden gave a loud scream of frustrate that echoed through the building. The glass windows vibrated, threatening to break any moment.

"Yugi, what's wrong?" Sugoroku asked worriedly, running down the stairs to where she was standing, gasping and panting for breaths.

"WHAT'S WRONG!? YOU ARE ASKING ME WHAT'S WRONG? I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO OBVIOUS! THEY-" She pointed outside. "-ARE WHAT'S WRONG. YOU'RE WHAT'S WRONG. EVERYONE IN THIS LAND IS WHAT'S WRONG!"

"Yugi calm down and breath." Yugi did as told and relaxed a little. "Now could you tell what happened at school that made you scream like it's the end of the world now?" She nodded.

"I got kicked out of history class again." The elder sighed.

"Yugi, we've already discussed this. I know you're far more knowledgeable than all of your teachers, but couldn't you just please pretend to be interested and be polite to them for once-"

"I refused to be respectful to the ones who are lower than me." She said stubbornly. Now the old man was starting to lose his temper.

"Enough." He said in a firm tone that leaves no room for argument. "I am so ashamed of you. It has been only two months and you've got yourself eleven detentions. You slept in, you fought with your classmates, you killed the principal's kitten..." He stopped when he had finally noticed the powerful aura that was flaring around Yugi. She took a step closer and snarled, her eyes were now the color of melting amber.

"You have no right to tell me you're ashamed of me! Only my parents do! You're only a stranger assigned by those fools to take care of me. You are just a bunch of pathetic losers thinking that I need help. I'm millions of years older than you, lad." The girl smirked as she emphasized the last word with sarcasm. "Now get out of my sight." She threw him aside and made her way to her room, not even bothered to take a glance back to see if he was alright.

Meanwhile, Sugoroku was struggling to stand up. Blood was dripping down from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away and sighed heavily. Yugi was usually in a foul mood but this day was just worse. She wasn't as bad as people always said she was, but it was hard to get on her good side. It was not difficult to understand though. The people here treated her like a freak, an outsider. They had always tried to tease and bully her, but Yugi was strong, powerful and special in ways they could never understand. That's why the girl was so different. Hikaris were supposed to be kind, gentle, caring, merciful, forgiving and loving, qualities that Yugi has never had. She loved to be rebellious, violent, determined, sometimes she would be evil and cruel, too. But most of all, Yugi loved to be free. She wanted to do whatever she liked and would never listen to anyone else, or that's what he'd assumed. He'd never seen anyone that could, or at least wanted, to befriend her. Yugi stood firm to what she believed. She did anything she thought was right and would not be faltering by anything. Sugoroku sighed heavily and started toward the kitchen. It would be best to leave her alone right now.

"Yugi! Dinner's ready!"

"Coming!" Yugi ran down the stairs almost immediately. "My stomach's growling."

The old man was relieved to see his ward back to her normal state and he smiled. "I made you broccoli soup, your favorite toast and some margarine." She grinned. "Cool." They ate in silence until Sugoroku decided to start again.

"Yugi?"

"Yeah?" She asked half-heartedly as her mind was still drowned in the delicious taste of the food.

"I called the principal and your current teacher a few minutes ago. I suggested them to let you take a test about Eternia's history. If you pass, you can go back to class."

"That will surely be easy." Yugi said triumphantly. He nodded.

"I knew it will be. I'm trying to help as much as possible, Yugi, but I need us to work this out together. I can't keep covering for you like this and you know it. At least try and pretend to be good, Yugi. Just pretend. I'm not asking you to respect those that you don't want to." She put down her half-eaten piece of toast and inhaled heavily.

"I-I'll try. Thank you for helping me." The girl said softly. Sugoroku was surprised. It was rare to see this side of her, but he decided to play along with it.

"It's no problem my dear."

Yugi was in the principal's room, waiting patiently for the teacher to arrive. She irritably tapped her right foot on the marble floor. After a while, the principal finally snapped.

"Yugi! I know you're bored but could you please stop it! I'm sick of that sound!" She smirked smugly. "Of course, principal."

Almost half an hour later, the teacher came in.

"Yugi, as your grandfather had requested, I will give you a test about everything I've taught in class from the beginning of the year. I you can answer them all then I'll let you back to my class. You fail, you get out of this school for good." That didn't seem to faze her a little bit.

"Very well." He narrowed his eyes dangerously, but didn't do anything. "Tell me, what are the two worlds of our land?"

"Our land, Eternia, is separated into two world, Arthlennia, territory of the Hikaris, which means us, and Ullennia, land of the Yamis."

"Who were the ones created Eternia?" She stiffened at this. Fortunately, it went unnoticed by the others.

"Horakhty, our patron goddess, and Zorc, the Yami's."

"And they are also...?"

"Our sacred parents."

"What is the border between Arthlennia and Ullennia?"

"The shadow river, Ptilyx."

"Why was Eternia created?" Her face visibly darkened and she hesitated.

"They were once deeply in love with each other, but their differences drove them apart. They wanted their own land to rule and guide their children to the way they liked. They wanted to move on, to forget the past and both took different tracks. After that, they had sworn not to see each other again." The teacher nodded.

"I hate to say it, Yugi, but you have passed." He sighed. Yugi crossed her arms over her chest.

"I may be an insolent brat, but I am definitely not stupid. Remember that." She got up and left before he could reply.
