A New Student

Lugging in suitcases from the dock to her dorm was no easy task, especially if the academy was several kilometers away from port. Kagome Higurashi panted heavily, her body already worn out from the exercise she had to do.

Groaning, she sat down on an available chair inside the principal's office. She brushed her raven black tresses out of her chocolate brown eyes. Her little walk had taken a lot out of her and frankly, she was too tired to move, but it would have been rude to do so.

The place she was currently in would ultimately test her skills in Duel Monsters alright.There were supposed to be many top rank duelists in the Duel Academy, and frankly, she couldn't wait to test out her deck. Already, she was wearing a uniform. It consisted of a red jacket, a black shirt and white pants, considering that there wasn't a girl's uniform for Slifer. 'The lowest rank.' She thought with amusement.

She heard the faint sound of a door creaking open and immediately sat up to full attention.

Through the door came the principal: Doctor Crowler, or something to that extent. 'Whoo…is that person a man or a woman?' she thought, as she absorbed the Doctor's purple lips, blonde hair and outdated wardrobe.

"I assume you're Kagome Higurashi?" the eerie professor drawled out. At her nod, he continued, "I had a look at your written exam; you are quite intelligent. All that's left for you now is the practical exam, and then we'll see where you rank. Of course, since you are a transfer student, you have to go to Slifer Red, no matter the score."

She nodded once more. "Hai, Doctor Crowler." He shooed her towards the arena for her match with the proctor. Gasping to herself, Kagome took one look around, her gaze meeting with every other student in the Academy.

Feeling everyone's eyes towards her, she gulped and took a step into her assigned arena: Arena 4. As the proctor readied himself, she attempted to quench the butterflies that were quelling in her stomach.

Finishing with his task, and glaring at her with his sunglasses, she swallowed yet again. These proctors were just so creepy…

"All right, then!" He suddenly yelled. "Let the match begin!"

High up in the stands, there sat Doctor Crowler, snickering to himself childishly. 'This girl is just amusement for us. This duel should be fun to watch. Although, it's a shame that it has to be so short.'

Her opponent declared that it was his move first. "First I summon Celtic Guardian in attack mode! (Atk/ 1400)" There was a flash, and an elfish looking warrior appeared on the field. "That ends my turn."

Pausing for a moment, Kagome caught her breath. 'Relax, Kagome…relax…' Drawing a card, she glanced at it, and grinned. "All right! Here goes…Card Destruction! All the cards in our hands are destroyed!"

Both duelists sent their hands to the graveyard and received the same number of cards that they discarded. "Next, I summon Cyber Harpie Lady (Atk/1800) to the field!" There was an supernatural screech in the air as the monster was summoned.

"Next up, I activate Elegant Egotist, allowing me to summon Harpie Lady Sisters to the field!" A set of the same monsters appeared once more. " I also use Premature burial, which allows me to resurrect one monster from the graveyard to the field—so say hello to Blazing Inpachi(Atk/1850)!"

A burning log appeared on the field. "Activating Salamandra and Cyber Shield to increase my monsters attack points!" Blazing Inpachi: 2550. Harpie Lady Sisters: 2300.

"And I also use Tribute to the Doomed! It allows me to destroy your Celtic Guardian if I remove one card from my hand!" She destroyed his only defense. I also activate Terrible Fire! At the cost of 500 of my life points, I get to cause 1000 points of damage to yours!"

Proctor: 6000

Kagome: 7500

"Now, all of my monsters, attack his life points directly!" With that, they lowered the instructors life points from 6000 to 0.

High up in the stands, everyone was stunned. She had managed to win the duel in just one turn…

Doctor Crowler screeched in mortification. The girl was that strong, and she was going to Slifer Red! "Completely unacceptable!" he randomly screeched out. Scurrying around the stands in a panic, he sped off towards the arena.

Back in the stands, there were three boys that surveyed her with interest. Two of them were just the followers, and the last one was the leader. He had black hair that stuck up almost every way, and icy cold purple eyes.

"Hey!" one of the two tag-along boys yelled. "She's pretty good, ain't she Chazz?" At Chazz's silence, the other one mentioned, "And she's pretty cute too." Suddenly, their leader shouted, "Shut up, you dorks!" They both quieted down.

In another section of the stands, a pointy haired boy with a yellow coat gazed down at her with respect. "Hey, Bastion!" An unknown voice beckoned him. Gazing towards the source of the noise, he found himself face-to-face with Jaden, the ace of Slifer Red.

"Hey." The Ra Yellow greeted him back. "So…" The Slifer leaned on the railing. "What happened? I was kinda late, so Sy and I just got here." The blue haired boy suddenly appeared, panting heavily. Bastion was about to respond, when someone beat him to the punch.

"That girl qualified to be in Duel Academy." Alexis' voice rang through the boy's ears. Jaden turned around and spotted her standing right behind him and gesturing to the arena.

Looking back towards the stage, he could now see the girl that Alexis was referring to. "So, how'd she do? From the uniform, she's gonna be in Slifer Red too, right?"

Bastion spoke up. "She defeated her proctor in one turn." At Jaden's shocked face, he persisted. "It's true." Alexis nodded her head as an affirmative. "He's not lying Jaden-"

She was interrupted, when Jaden let out a huge whoop. "SWEET! I'm gonna have some new competition now! She must be really good, I can't wait to duel her!"

Syrus sweat dropped. "Jaden…"

A yell erupted through the stadium as the loony professor; Doctor Crowler sprinted to where the new Slifer Red was. "Wait! Kagome Higurashi!" Panting as he reached her, he continued with his ranting. "You simply must meet the Obelisks."

"But, I thought-" she was interrupted by the teacher once more. "Never mind, I know that you're still in Slifer, but with you're abilities, you'll have no trouble making it to the Obelisks!"

Turning to the audience they had in the stadium, he shouted, "All Obelisks go back to your dorms! Stat!" There was a lot of hustle and bustle as the entire stadium scurried to complete the headmaster's orders.

Before she could gasp out in awe at the sight, the doctor had the gates opened, and led her inside. It was good that Crowler had distracted her earlier, she decided, for it allowed her to express her full wonder on the inside qualities of the rooms.

It was gorgeous. There were chandeliers hanging on the walls that sparkled with the sun's rays, and there was incredibly expensive looking furniture scattered all over the rooms. The professor spoke up. "This is only the meeting room for the Obelisks. You are going to live in the girl's dorm. There are separate buildings for the boys and the girls alike."

She nodded vigorously while attempting to absorb the information that Crowler was telling her. The professor gestured to two huge wooden oak doors. "Through there, you will find all the Obelisks. Now, go on and you may be greeting your future classmates."

Placing a hand on the door, Kagome pushed hard and was rewarded with the door creaking open. Behind her, Doctor Crowler stared in shock. It took two strong men to lift that door, and she didn't even break a sweat.

Blinded by the sudden light, her ears registered the faint sound of ruckus dying away into silence at her presence. As her eyes adjusted to the difference in lighting, she noted that there were large tables that looked like huge benches. And there were people sitting on them. And they were all staring at her.

The proctors weren't the only people in the school that were frightening.

Swallowing nervously for the second time that day, she tensely stepped into the large room. Accusatory gazes met her and she could feel them, almost as they were piercing holes inside her soul.

'No…' she thought. 'Nobody is going to pierce through it ever again.'

Bravely meeting their glares, she walked with her head up high towards the front along with Professor Crowler. As they reached the wanted destination, Crowler spoke. "Fellow Obelisks! This girl here may very well be attending as an Obelisk in the near future! She may look like one of those Slifers, but I assure you, she does not duel like one!"

Their hostility lessened at his words. "The only reason that she is in that dorm in the first place is because she's a transfer, and you know where all of the transfer students are first placed."

The tension in the air practically deflated at the end of his speech.

"That is the reason that I will allow her to briefly stay with you! She's got to know where she belongs!" He left her at the front and walked towards the exit.

As the doors slammed shut, all Kagome was greeted with was bone-chilling silence. It was so eerie that it sent shivers down her spine.

Looking around the room in search of a friendly face, she spotted a dark blonde girl waving her over. Walking towards the girl, she turned towards her with a shy expression. The Obelisk introduced herself first. "Hi, I'm Alexis Rhodes. I watched you duel earlier and you were incredible."

"Uh…" Kagome didn't really know what to say to that. "…Thanks. I'm Kagome…" Silence reigned and they both felt everyone's eyes on them. "Sorry…" said the black haired girl. "I'm not used to anyone complimenting me like that…"

The mood lightened considerably. "So, Kagome, where'd you learn to duel like that?" Alexis inquired. Kagome answered, "I trained under a really good duelist for about six years. She isolated me from civilization for a looooong time."

Needless to say, the conversation that she was having with Alexis cracked the ice with the other duelists in the room. A new voice entered her ears, the source being the girl who was sitting directly beside Alexis. "I'm Jasmine." The other girl to the right of Jasmine happily replied, "I'm Mindy."

"Hey there, Kagome, was it?" a sleazy sounding voice interrupted the introductions. There were three guys directly behind her. She surveyed them. The first two looked like tag-alongs, while the third one…he looked like the commander.

With piercing violet eyes and jet black hair, he certainly looked the part.

One of the named tag-alongs greeted her with a sneer. "So, you want to come with me somewhere, cutie? We could get to know each other very well…"

She looked at him and coolly and replied, "I don't think so. Try to take this little talk a step further, like touching me, I'll personally consider it sexual harassment." Her eyes regarded his frown and an all too steady hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder.

He gripped it tightly and murmured, "What are you going to do about it—"

He never got to finish his sentence, as she had punched him head on in the face. As he recoiled, putting a hand over his bruised visage, she retaliated once more by kicking him all the way across the room, her foot connecting with the left side of his hip.

She smirked slightly. "I warned you. That was all self defense on my part."

She sat back in one of the benches and politely asked exactly what the food was. "Ah…" Mindy was still in shock. "D-dumplings. They're dumplings." The martial artist thanked her and picked one of them up. As she was closely inspecting the round provisions in her hand, a steely voice made itself known.

"You kick him to the other end of the room, and then you act like it's no big deal?" The voice wasn't angry, but it wasn't pleased either. Turning around, Kagome noticed that the lavender eyed boy was the one doing the speaking.

Not being very ladylike, she snorted. "You should be thanking me. The guy I just knocked into unconsciousness, and that guy…" she gestured to the tag-along beside the black haired boy, "…they're only your friends for the power. If something ever happened that would threaten their social position, these two would turn against you in a heartbeat."

The boy's eyes flared slightly. "Listen, you Slifer-"

"Chazz!" yelled Alexis. "Just leave her alone!" At the queen of Obelisk's exclamation, they both huffed and turned away from each other.

Peeking at 'Chazz?' from the corner of her eye, she sighed heavily. "Look, I'm sorry, alright? But, I warned the guy fair and square. I didn't really want to hurt him and I didn't mean to insult you. I'll take your silence as an assumption that I'm forgiven?"

Chazz didn't say anything, only glaring at her, but not with contempt.

Kagome sighed in relief. "Thanks." She sat back down on the bench again as the entire cafeteria burst into talkative laughter. Noise was overflowing her senses as she sampled some dumplings. Yum…these were great.

Unseen by her, Chazz Princeton, the arrogant Obelisk was staring at her with a look that could only be recognized as a look of utter surprise and admiration.
