Not My Dimension (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's)

Ch. 1: The Stranger

Tari P.O.V.

I stared at my television with excitement. I was watching another episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Yusei had just played the card that ended the duel against Crow, leaving him the champion once again.

I found this show fun and entertaining. It gave me a taste of what I wanted the most, an adventure. I wished to be a part of their world, where there was an adventure around every corner. I wanted to leave my boring world and life behind to be one of them.

I leaned closer to the TV.

I rested my hand against the screen, wishing to be next to Yusei.

Next thing I knew, I was slipping into the television into a black world. I was just there floating for a few moments, feeling nothing but dark empty space. Then my stomach felt like it was in my throat and I was falling through a blue sky, with the ground quickly approaching.

Yusei P.O.V.

I wouldn't have realized that someone was falling from the sky if it hadn't let out a shrill scream as it fell. It was dressed in sky blue and had the sun's golden rays for hair. It blended in with its surroundings as it fell, but once you saw it, you never lost sight of it.

"How are we going to catch it in time?" If one us tried catching it, both peopled involved would die.

"I'll catch her using my Blackbird."

"Good idea, Crow."

He barely managed to catch it using his duel runner's built in wings to catch it in midair. He drove back to me. When I saw her face, it was plastered with fear. She hung so tightly to Crow; I feared her nails would break his friend's skin.

She gasped when she noticed me. She stood up and walked over to me, reached over to my face, her fingers just hovering over my marker. "Yusei," she whispered.

Her thin frame was quivering with excitement. Her blue eyes radiated joy. "Yusei," again she whispered.

"How do you know me?"

"Yusei, you're one of the most famous turbo duelist in both The Satellite and New Domino City. Of course she is going to know your name."

"No, that's not it, is it?" I asked the stranger.

"No it is not. Yes your famous around here, but that isn't how I know you." she replied her voice a bit shaky after the fall.

"Then how do you know me?"

Tari P.O.V.

"I don't know if I should tell you, it might not be safe for both our di...men...sions." I had not meant to say that last part.

"Did you say dimensions?" Yusei asked.

"Um, no."

"Hey, Yusei, I think we got a loony bird over here." Yusei looked like he was going to talk back to Crow. Well, I thought, the secret is pretty much out, so here's hoping our dimensions don't implode or something.

"Yusei, Crow, don't argue please. I have a massive head ache from hearing myself scream." They both stared at me astounded. Never once, in my presence, had Crow's name been mentioned.

"How do you know my name?"

"As I accidentally mentioned before, I am from another dimension. And know more than your names. I know information about your pasts and present. Crow you look after some orphans and Yusei, I know you were badly injured in the abdomen after your duel with Kalin. Do you need any more evidence? Perhaps that Yusei received his mark when he illegally went to New Domino City and then dueled Jack. During the duel when Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend battled it out, you and jack accidentally summoned the Crimson Dragon. Long story short, Yusei is brought to the facility and they put his marker on the cheek." The both stood there gaping at me. People in New Domino City and the Satellite new why Yusei had gotten his marker, but very few knew the exact details on how he got it. "I can't tell you guys how I know this stuff, but I do. If I told you how, I could end up being responsible for destroying both our dimensions."

"Alright, if it involves destroying worlds, I don't want to be involved in that scenario. But you seem to know everything about us, and we don't know a thing about you. So I think you at least owe us your name." That's Crow, never wanting to be at the disadvantage.

I shook my head slowly. "Let me guess," he said. "That information could destroy both our worlds too."

"Yep."

"Then what are we supposed to call you?"

"How about… Natsumi?"
