Dueling The Mystery That Lies With-in

Chapter 3: Time for School

~Yumi's POV~

"Yumi, are you ready for school?" My grandma yells into my room.

"Yeah Grandma," I grumble, "But do I have to go like this?" I say gesturing to my uniform. You know the pink jacket, short blue skirt, and weird blue bow-tie thing.

"Yes Yumi! you have to," Oh great, "And you also have to get going." My grandmother says as she pushes me out the door. "Now, are you sure that you will be fine walking?"

"Yes grandma. It's only a few blocks from here. I should be able to find it without having to fly." I say

"Okay. Have a good first day of school!" My grandma yells to me.

"Okay thanks!" I shut the door behind me and try and remember which way to go. Uhh, which way was it again? I should have just had my grandma drive me.

"Yumi, you there?" Yami asks from the far regions of my mind

"Yeah I'm here. You remember which way to go?" I ask Yami

"Yeah, go right." She says

"Okay, I hope your right." I say.

I walk down the block with my phone in hand. I have the GPS going just incase Yami was wrong. "Turn right" I hear the automated voice of the GPS say. She was right. I keep walking down the second block. Then I see a green and yellow building on the corner. It says "Game Shop" on the top. Wonder if they have any duel monsters?

I look down at my watch to see how much time I have. "7:30, I have a half-hour. I guess I could stop real quick and just look around." Yeah, lets go with that. I sprint towards the building, hoping to gain a few extra minutes in the shop.

"Yumi, I sense some strange energies coming from this shop." I hear Yami say as I see her spirit beside me. Well, most of it. "We should just keep going."

"Yami, you worry to much. And besides, I'll just take a quick look; then we'll go." I say back

"But...Okay, I guess a quick look can't hurt. But if something happens, I'm taking over!" I hear her say. Yeesh, no need to yell.

I push open the door of the game shop. I look around the poster covered walls and game covered shelves of the shop. I look around at the posters covering the bluish-purple walls of the game shop. Many of the games I have heard of, but do not play on a regular basis. I then see a poster for Duel Monsters on the back wall. Score!

"Hello there, may I help you?" I hear a voice ask me. I turn to see an elderly man with green overalls and a blackish-purple bandana. He has spiky gray hair and big purple eyes, much like my own.

"Oh, I am just looking around at the moment." I say to the oddly familiar looking man.

"Okay, just take all the time you need." He says to me. Where have seen his face before?

I look at the case filled with Duel Monsters cards. Many of them I already have. But there are some cool trap cards that I could add to my deck.

I hear the door open and turn around to see who came in. No Way... "Tea?"

"Oh, hello Yumi! It's good to see you. I didn't know that you knew where this place was." She tells me

"Neither did I. I was walking to school and saw the Game shop, and I decided to go look inside." I say. "But why are you hear before school Tea? I didn't know you like games."

"Yumi, That energy is getting Stronger!" Yami yells, but I ignore her.

"Oh I am just hear to pick up..." Tea was cut off by the sound of the back door opening. A boy with spiky hair stepped out from behind the closed door. No way...(again)
