Book One: The beginning
I stepped from the bus of my new school Domino and miserably trudged down the sidewalk dragging my feet as I went. It had happened again. It was the curse of my nature, always was. And being a girl duelist, most duelists found in there hearts that I was not a worthy oponent and did not deserve to own a Duel Monsters Deck.
To cheer myself up I went to a local card shop, I had enough money to buy a couple booster packs to rebuild my deck again. Inside I saw a kid with yellow-purple-black hair talking to an elderly man at the counter. "Hello." he said in a friendly manner, "Yeah, Hi" I replied half-heartedly purchasing some booster packs. "Are you a duelist?" the boy asked, "Yes." I replied turning to face him now I frowned slightly "Do you go to Domino?" I asked him. "Yes, do you?" "Yeah," I answered, "Im new" the boy smiled a minute "I thought I recognized you." I was a bit startled because only a girl named T'ea had seemed to notice me. "Im Yugi." he introduced himself, "And thats my Grampa." he said gesturing to the old man at the counter."I'm Lindsay." I said smiling abit for the first time in who-knows-how-long.
Yugi was the kind of person I was and it was nice after finding the reactions of my other classmates at Domino, as I said. No one noticed me. "Want to play a game of Duel Monsters?" Yugi asked. I hesitated before saying: "My cards were stolen today," I said solemnly. "Really?!" Yugi looked shocked like he could not believe someone would do such a thing, I had thought that at first too."Yeah. I have to rebuild my deck all over again."
As I headed out the door Yugi called back "WAIT!" I turned around "What?" I asked "Here, its my spare." he handed my a deck of cards. "Thanks, but I cant take it." I handed it back to him and headed out the door home before Yugi could stop me.
I had learned moving into Japan that people considered kindness a weakness and I was gla Yugi and T'ea were not 'people' I hoped maybe they one day might be 'friends' and when I got home I flopped on my bed trying to rebuild the deck I lost.
the next day at Domino....
It was lunch and many duelists were swarming about swapping cards and dueling with eachother I even watched a few people hiding cards up there sleeves. MY deckbuilding had been disaster I did not get a good deck,not one suitable for dueling that is. I was waching T'ea duel a blond-haired boy, She played Shining Friendship in attack mode equipped wih Silver Bow and Arrow and she wiped the floor with the boys Tiger Axe.
"Hi T'ea." I said sitting down next to her "Hi Lindsay." she answered the blond haired boy was hitting his head on the table. "Fifth loss." a boy next to him explained seeing my _______expression. The boy hitting his head looked up and said "I dont recognize you." I sighed (T'ea behind my back glared at him) and said then "That figuires." "It takes time Lindsay." T'ea told me. "Yeah, im sure after a day everyone will know I exist." I said sarcastically. "Oh, Hi Yugi!" I had just spotted him moving toward us, he waved at me.
"You know Yugi?" asked T'ea "He has a card shop next to my house, I met him yesterday." T'ea smiled "Hes nice." I told T'ea. Yugi sat next to me at the table. "Hey guys." he said warmly. "Hey Yug." the blond boy said (his head stopped hitting the table then) "Youve met my friends?" he asked. "T'ea? Yeah, I dont know the weird kid and the boy next to him though." "Weird?" Yugi laughed. "You barely described Joey." "Im guessing the hit-himself-on-the-head kid is Joey." I said. "Thats me." Joey said, "Im Tristan." the boy next to him said "And as you know, thats my idiot friend Joey." Joey smiled at me a minute,"im Lindsay to you guys that dont know." I said pushing hair out of my face.
But my eyes fell on a duel, and I relised as anger welled up inside me that those cards a boy was using, WERE MINE! I got up and started walking toward him quickly he glared at me and said "What do you want?" "My cards back."
I looked around at the angry eyes of the students of Domino, I personally thought they were overreacting, I was just trying to get my cards back, it was a very good deck...
"Its not yours!" the thief said angrily "Your just a foreigner!" "And because of that I cant play duel monsters? Now why not?" "Prove these cards are yours." The thief held my deck protectivly. I took a deep breath and clenched my fists "Inside that deck you will find a Time Wizard, on the top right corner its slightly bent." I was right of course but the thief looked unconcerned "coincidence." he said simplyl "Really? Well, you will also find Baby Dragon, Eternal Rest, Dark Magician Girl, and Axe of Despair!" Now the thief looked worriedly around, for most people it was eneogh proof.
"Well..." he didnt say much more "Trust me, I know people in very high places thief, my dad works for the goverment and my mother is a lawyer, do you want to be a criminal in jail?" Of course he knew as well as I kids dont go to jail, but there ARE other suitable punishments I have been subjected to, like Community Service (picking up garbage a week.) "Fine he mumbled and handed me my deck back. I walked to class without a second glance at him, so, of course I didnt see him glare with a hate-filled stare right in my diretion.
The next day I was at school early, and at the front of the school was the thief again, but beside him were two HUGE kids that looked like they could kill, this is trouble I thought not liking this one bit, to avoid them I went behind the school, big mistake.
Meanwhile Yugi and his best friend Joey were headed for school, "Yugi, wait!" it was yugis grampa "You forgot to put a better chain on your puzzle!" Yugi ran back to his grampa and when he finally reached school he heard me scream.
One of the huge kids had a hold of my school uniform and I was struggling without sucess to escape. "Ill make you wish you werent born!" he hissed, ewww! His teeth were green and I swear his breath smelled like mold! I was against the wall not understanding why the thief was doing this it ws just a deck, he could easily buy a new one! The bully raised his fist and smashed it into my face,the other one proceded to grab my throat and choke me I drew in all my breath and with best efforts bit him. He threw me against the wall I was feeling a mixture of fear, anger and confusion heard a sickening CRACK! It was my arm, and it was broken. They proced to punching and kicking my all huddled against the wall.
"What was that?" asked Yugi to his friend Joey, the screaming had stopped "Sounded like a scream to me." (I know that sound well, thought Joey) Lets go look!"
The biggest one proceeded to body slam me, I could feel nothing, I could see nothing everything was fuzzy and my face was soaked with sweat and blood. I stood up bravely but since I couldnt see, I punched the wall. My broken arm was loike on fire but for all I knew it was on fire!
"Oh my god!" said Joey to Yugi, "Its the new girl." "Lindsay." Yugi corrected absent mindedly staring unbelieving at me facedown on the ground, not even Twitching Joey couldnt take it anymore he got in front of the bullys 3x his size. "No Joey! Run!" Joey hesitated before grabbing one of my limp arms, they proceded to oth dragging me to a safe spot and hid waiting for the bullies to leave...
I had just gotten out of the hospital, my ribs had been cracked but they had mended, the only sign of what happened was the cast on my left arm. Joey was at my house we were dueling, "I play Time Wizard in attack and activate its effect!" I smiled because its effect failed and all of his monsters were destroyed. "Ill keep that move in mind Joey." Joey motioned for my to go. "Uhm, ok." I set down my Blast Sphere in face down defense mode. And set a trap called Widespread Ruin.
"Your turn Joey." I sounded perfectly cheerful, I felt way better. Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan had visited me. They all had signed my cast though Joey signed "I hope you get well soon cause im bored and want to duel you" well, he got his wish. Joey played Red Eyes Black Dragon 2400/2000 he attacked my Blast Sphere. "Aha!" I said happily "I activate Blast Spheres Effect! My Sphere equips itself to your Red eyes and on your next turn Red Eyes is destroyed and the lifepoints taken is equal to the attack of Red Eyes!"
Lindsays lp: 5000 Joeys lp: 3900
I looked at Joey slightly annoyed, he was taking it easy on me! Well, a duel was a duel, no big deal anyway. It was my turn so I sent out my Neo the Magic Swordsman 1700/1200 and ended my turn, Joeys Red Eyes was destroyed and 2400 lifepoints were taken from Joeys life points.
Lindsays lp: 5000 Joeys lp: 1500
Joey played his Tiger Axe and motioned for me to go, I set down Gyakatenno Megami 2000/1200, "Gyakutenno Megami attack Tiger axe!" Joeys lifepoints went down to 0. "Yay!" I was proud but still abit annoyed because if he actually tried when he dueled me, he would win and I didnt want that. "Well."
I put my deck away and sat down in a chair, "That was satisfying." I said to Joey, "But I cant seem to beat Yugi..." "I cant either." Joey admitted, "I almost beat him at The Duelist Kingdom but I acidently used my Time Wizard against myself." "The Duelist Kingdom??" I looked puzzled. "Its a place that me and friends went for a tournament held by Maximillian Pegasus." I noticed whenever the name Pegasus was mentioned my friends faces turned an awful shade of red. "Whats your problem with Pegasus?" I asked suddenly, Joey controlled himself and said "Hes evil." Oh, I remembered then "Wasnt he the one who tried to take over Kaiba Corporation?" "Thats him." said Joey then he changed the subject "Theres a tournament at KaibaWorld ." now THAT was interesting I thought" Are you going to enter?" "Of course!" said Joey "Can I come with you too?" "I dont know Lindsay, your suposed to stay home awhile, docs orders." "Im not good at listening to docters orders." I admitted. "Well still..." "Pleeease?" I gave him my most pleading girly look "You can protect me!" I tempted. Joey could not resist a challenge. "If im there..." "Pleease?" "Ok, I guess." said Joey. "Yeah!" I grabbed joey and practically dragged him to the door "Come on! Before it gets too crowded."
At KaibaWorld...
There was a long line we were near the front, I was checking my deck and Joey was glaring at Seto Kaiba darkly. "Why did you come? You KNEW Kaiba would be here!" Joey didnt answer but I was pretty sure he wanted to prove himself to Kaiba. Kaiba spotted us and came toward us. "Puppydog entering the contest? I hope its not TOO hard for you." Joey opened his mouth to speak, I shushed him "Just because Yugi deafeated you does not mean you can take it out on his friends!" Kaiba looked annoyed "Another one to the fan club, Oh, and save the speech I get eneogh of that from T'ea." I glared at Kaiba. Who was already leaving. "I Already dont like him." I muttered.
Yugi was near the end of the line, well, I need some fun. Yugi thought, He could see Kaiba already heading toward him. Oh no. Yugi thought, he had hoped not to see Kaiba. What did he expect? Kaiba was hosting the tournament after all. Kaiba stopped not looking surprised at all to see Yugi. "Finally, REAL competition." he said sighing. "Oh, your friends puppy and puppydog entered." "Joey and Tristan?""No, Joey and this girl that claims to know you." "Oh, Lindsay." Whats she doing here? Yugi thought, shes suposed to be at home for a few weeks..."Whats up with the tournament?" Yugi asked Kaiba "To prove to all these duelists that I am the best at duel monsters in the world by beating you." "I suspected it to be something like that." Yugi replied. "See you at the finals Yugi."
Kaiba returned to torment Joey and I, "Good news Puppydog, Yugi entered, at least there will be one challenge." "Three" I corrected Kaiba "You have not seen me duel yet, and remember, Joey won second place in the Duelist Kingdom, Which I might add Kaiba, you did not win 5th place maybe, admit it Kaiba!" Joey looked abit stunned, most of the time I was a pretty nice person. "Are you going to stand up for yourself Joey? I cant do it for you all the time!" I demanded to Joey, Kaiba smirked and went off to greet his brother Mokuba.
"You made me look bad." Joey complained, "Why do you care? Its just Kaiba." I signed my name on the registration form and went off to find Yugi, Joey trailing sulkily behind me. 4. The first duel
I found Yugi who imediatly asked why I was here, "Joey let me come." I said while Joeys face turned red. Suddenly Kaibas voice came on the intercom "We start round one of the qualifying round, Lindsay McGowan versus Mai Valentine!" Already? I thought, now that was quick. "Be careful." Joey and Yugi both warned me "Mais really hard to beat, no kidding." "Ill be careful." I promised Joey now acting friendly again, this kind of thing made me unpredicable. I stepped up to the Dueling Platform where I saw Mai, she had blond hair and by the boys surrounding her, I knew she would not hesitate to use her charm.
I was really excited, this was my first duel (official one) after all, I just hoped there would be a second one..."So, Lindsays the name? How do you think it will feel to be detroyed by my Harpies Lady?" Mai asked she looked very calm and confident. "I would never know." I replied, "Because it wont happen, now stop the bragging and lets duel!" Mai looked slightly abashed at that, "Fine then." Then we shuffled our decks and glared at eachother at the end of the fiel. "Duel." we said in unision, "Age before Beauty." I motioned Mai to go first after all, If I wore the kind of clothes Mai did I probably would look identical to her. And thats without make-up.
Mai drew her cards and smiled "I set down Harpies Lady in attack mode!" 1600/1200 A huge figuire of the Harpies Lady came onto the field screeching and flapping its wings. " And to make it more interesting.." Mai set down a magic/trap a place on the field glowed light blue. Mai motioned for me to go.
I looked at my hand, it was nothing special really. "I play Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode!" My magic swordsman appeared on the field, he had a blue-bladed sword and wore brown gloves. "Attack Harpies Lady!" I commanded, Neos sword glew with blue fire as he ran towards Harpies Lady, suddenly a kind of wall like ice appeared in front of Neo and he attacked it. Neos attack went down 13500/1200
"What happened?" Mai smiled again, "I played my trap, Mirror Wall, Everytime you try to attack my monsters they meet a mirrored image of themself and attack, halfing thier own attack. Its pemanent, Yugi learned this the hard way." "My Swordsman!" I bit my lip and set down a trap/magic card on the field, like Mais trap, it glowed bright blue on the field. "I end my turn." I said. Mai smirked "You should end the game, theres no way your going to win." "Eneogh with the bragging already, I do have cards to help me in this mess you know." "Whatever," "I attack your swordsman with Harpies Lady!" The Harpies Lady rose with a screech and the dove towarard my swordsman who shattered like glass and faded from the field. I remained silent.

Yugi and Joey were watching the duel "Do you think Mai will be too tough for Lindsay?" Joey asked Yugi. "Im not sure, it really depends if she remembers what I said about trusting in the heart of the cards." Yugi told Joey. "Im sure she'll remember Joey, its just a minor setback I hope." Dont worry guys, I thought, I wont let you down. Because its the only way to pay you back for saving me.
Yugi watched desprately "Mirror wall is really tough to beat or outsmart!" "I know, Yug." the another voice sounded, it was Yami, the spirit of the milllennium puzzle "she can do it but, somethings really bothering me here, I dont know what." "Its probably nothing, Yami. But if it will make you feel better we can investigate on it after the match, so until then, try to enjoy this." "Ill try Yugi." Yami said sounding slightly pained.
It was my turn, I drew a card and looked thoughtfully at it, it was a personal favorite of mine, Blast Sphere. I set it in the facedown defense mode and ended my turn, As Mai was trying to decide what to do I thought about my first match with Joey, his surprise at my move had been kind of satisfying, because he had won 2nd place in the duelist kingdom after all, and blast sphere was a really rare card. I hoped it would serve me just as well.
As I predicted Mai attacked it, "I activate its effect! It equips itself to your Harpies Lady and is destroyed in the next turn, you lose lifepoints equal to Harpies Ladys attack." Mai like Joey had been quite surprised, Joey was yelling like mad "Way to go! Show that Mai whos the better duelist!" Mai glared at Joey and said "Shut-Up."
I smiled, maybe there was a heart of the cards that made me draw Blast Sphere, I guess Yugi was right, "Your move." Mais Harpies Lady was automatically destroyed and Mai cried out in aunguish it seemed.
mais lp: 7300 lindsays lp: 7850
"Good move." commented Kaiba, "I almost wouldnt have seen that coming." Mokuba was watching the fight tentavley, completely absorbed and he couldnt here a word his brother Seto was saying.
Mai drew a card, her face was white from shock. "I play Reborn the Monster, and ressurect Harpies Lady! Then I play elegant Egotist!" Two similar Harpies Ladys appeared onthe field the only diffrence was the hair and wing color. "oh, no." I groaned and she destroyed my Blast Sphere with a flourish.
It was in defense mode so it took no lifepoints from me. "Your move, sweetie." Mai told me, I drew a card and set down Sangan in the facedown defense mode.
For the Time Wizard combo I learned from Joey I needed Baby Dragon and the Time Wizard, and Sangan would help. Mai regarded the facdown card with suspicion, she was still shaken from Blast Sphere. She hesitated and attacked it, My sangan appeared tempoarily on the field before shattering like glass before me. I got a card from my deck, that was the effect of Sangan, I got my cute lil Baby Dragon and shuffled my deck. "You think that dinosaur-thing can beat my Harpies Lady? youve got to be kidding!" I wasnt. It was my turn, so I drew a card and grinned because I had the greatest idea. I set down Labyrinth Wall in facedown defense mode. "I end my turn." Mai drew a card and then she commanded er Harpies Lady to Attack, "Hah! Labyrinth Wall! 0/3000!"
mais lp: 5900 lindsays lp: 7850
"Now THAT was a smart move." said Joey to Yugi, "Yeah." Yugi agreed. He was smiling "I knew you could do it Lindsay!" he said quietly.
A huge maze appeared on my side of the field. "The only way to attack it to enter the maze." I told Mai smugly "And who knows what ill put in it." It was my turn again, And I played the Flame Champion equipped with Axe of Despair and Sword on the deep seated. 2400/1200. "I attack Harpies Lady sister number one!" The Flame swordsman, his fiery blade out stretched charged at the Harpies Lady, it screeched as the fiery blade hit it shattered and faded from the field.
Mais lp: 4900 Lindsays lp: 7850
Oh my god thought Mai, shes a rookie and shes beating me! Then Mai had an Idea, "I play sogen! it raises all warrior types by 200 in attack/defense." What? I was extremely confused but it it was my turn again so I commanded the Flame Champion to attack Harpies Lady #2, but it dodged and I hit my Labyrinth wall,
It was destoryed. "NOOOOOOOO!" I screamed in anguish, that had been my best defense..
I played Dark Magician Girl in attack mode, the apprentice of the Dark Magician appeared on the field giggling girlishly. I ended my turn.
Mai drew a card and imediatly ended her turn. It was my turn agin, and I smiled happily, "Dark Magician Girl attack Harpies Lady! Then Flame Champion, Attack her lifepoints directly!"

6. Bakura
Seto Kaiba played with his duel disk, his newest invention. He had an idea to deafeat Yugi. An unfair one, but an idea all the same. Kaiba didnt like to cheat. Play unfair. Or play on the oponents weaknesses. But he had no choice, none. It was either to be fair, and lose his pride, or to be unfair and gain his pride. He would go with pride. Pride was everything. His Blue Eyes his brother, all for his pride, and in a single duel his pride had been stripped from him. in a single match against Yugi. 
"Uhm....Seto?" Mokuba waved his hand in front of Setos face, who didnt even blink. "We have a problem." said Mokuba. Who proceeded to shaking Seto gently.
"Lindsay is the winner....finally" said Kaiba "And the next duel is Bakura Ryou versus Mako Tsnami!" "Bakura?" "Whats he doing here?" "Trying to have fun." I said. "Probably." said Yugi looking slightly worried. "Whats your problem with Bakura?" "Nothing, hes actually a friend." when hes not the evil spirit.
"The winner is Bakura Ryou!" Hey, at least that fish-guy with no shirt didnt win. I clapped politely and continued to contemplate the plan of Seto Kaiba. I guess I would always worry, I patted my cast, It was hard not too, I couldnt forget anything, I was becoming a worry-wart.
I only hoped that the other Yugi was lying and this was just a small little tournament that I came to to have fun (and I also wished I was actually having fun) But, I thought, I probably had nothing to worry about I thought watching Bakura leave victorious from the dueling platform.
It had been several Days since I deafeated Mai, we all had passed the qualifying round. Yugi and Joey had beaten thier oponents so fast that it was maybe 5 minutes for each duel. Bakura had also won his duel. That, to my friends had not been a surprise. No, I suspected that Bakura was not as nice as he seemed He seemed really considerate and kind too. Luckily I was mostly-right.
Kaiba spoke on the speaker again:"Finally we ended the extrememly boring qualifying round, we can now start the almost-as boring tournament, then we can start the boring semi-finals...." "Hey stop that Seto! People can here you!" It was Mokuba. "Yeah....Whatever."
"Ok the next duel is Joey Wheeler versus Rex Rapter." It was Mokuba, there was the sound of alot of shuffling finally Kaiba "As my brother said: Next duel is Puppydog---I mean Joey Wheeler versus Rex Rapter!" Joey turned deep red "Puppydog! And on the speaker too!" I patted Joey on the back. "Its okay, as I said before: Its Just Kaiba." Joey took out his prized deck. "Goodluck Joey!" I was really excited and I was hopping around like a mad rabbit.
Joey shuffled his deck proffessionally and glared at Rex Rapter. Joey started his turn by playing Battle Ox in attack mode 1800/1200 a hologram image of the battle ox appeared looking very ugly indeed. Rex Rapter with his ugly red hat played Uraby in Attack mode 1500/1000, the small dinosaur appeared on the field raising his tiny clawed arms."Then I play Desert a field magic card it increases all dinosaur types attack by 200." said Rex. Urabys attack rose to 1700/1000 "And finally I use Sword of the Deep Seated raising Uraby to 2200/1000!" 
Yugi (or unknown to me, Yami) looked around, his eyes fell on Bakura Ryou who appeared to be holding a glowing gold object. "Tomb Robber!" growled Yami causing me to look up from the match. "Oh-No, its the other Yugi again." I looked at Yami who appeared not to hear me. Yugi then told Yami "I expect we are going to have some explaining to do." Yami didnt answer, then Yugi knew why "Its the evil spirit!" Yugi exclaimed, "I know!" "Whats he doing?" "I dont know Yugi." Yami walked toward Bakuraand I followed enchanted by the glowing object.
"Tomb Robber!" Yami looked angrily at Bakura. "Pharoah." said Bakura formally looking at the duel with an evil smile on his face. "What are you doing here?" demanded Yami "having some fun." said Bakura still straing happily at the duel. Reminded of that I looked to see how Joey was doing. Not well. 
Joeys lp:500 Rexs lp:3000
"Oh no!" I cried, "Whats wrong with Joey!?" Yami tore his eyes away from Bakura to see the problem. His eyes widened "Tomb robber!" Bakura grinned wickedly. "What did you do!" Bakura didnt hesitate to reply "The Punishment Game." he said laughing. "Ill cure this madness! My puzzle gives me the power!" Yami said in rage. "I know." said Bakura "But when you do it will be too late Pharoah." I looked really confused "Is that some special nickname?" Yami looked at me a moment. "I didnt see you there." he admitted. "I and Yugi will explain later." I turned to Bakura. "Cure Joey right now!" I demanded. "Why should I? This is very entertaining to watch." said Bakura lazily. "You!" I aimed a kick at his stomach and he doubled over. Yami looked terrified a moment, he grabbed my arm and dragged me away as fast as possible. "What were you thinking!" Yami demanded. "I was thinking this: Joeys insane! And its HIS fault!" I looked to Joey who was putting his weakest monsters on the field, he thought he was winning.
Yami looked stern. "Yugi, take over." Yugi was back again looking really worried. "Why did you do that?" I looked angrily at Yugi. "Bakura did this to Joey, he wouldnt change him back either..." Yugi looked even more worried. "Did you know the millennium ring could have stolen your soul?!" "No." I admitted. "But even if I did I would have done it." "Why?" "How many times must I say! THAT DUMB BAKURA MADE JOEY INSANE!" Yugi looked slightly abashed, he would have done the same thing for me. He knew it as well as I. "But..!" he tried again "You dont know us that well." I looked serious. "I actually do." I said softly. "I know almost everything to know about you guys, except for the other you Yugi." Yugi smiled "Ill have to explain that." "Yeah, but, what can we do about Joey?" "I can handle that." said Yami, he held the millennium puzzle with was glowing bright gold. "He is fine now." Maybe, I thought. But would he win against Rex with his lifepoints so low?
8. Kaibas plan: in-action 
I really shouldnt have worried about Joey beating Rex Rapter or not, becuase all it took was red-eyes black dragon and his Time Wizard/Baby Dragon combo to finish Rex off. We had all made it to the semi-finals, and I had this shaky feeling in my legs whenenever I spotted Kaiba and he would watch me cooly shuffling his deck over and over again like he expected a duel. He did get several challenges from Joey but Kaiba stated it would be a waste of his time.
Yugi had been terrified when he spotted the evil spirit of the millennium ring. Sometimes he wished had never solved the millennium puzzle, he was always scared now, with Pegasus, Kaiba, Yami Bakura, Marik he feared that his fear would never end. His friends were the only thing keeping him from destroying the puzzle and giving up on everything. It was all too much, and it used to be so easy .
Yugi, Joey, Bandit Keith, Rebecca, Bakura and myself were in the semi-finals. My very blood still boiled at the very mention of Bakura but for some reason Bandit Keith, Rebecca, and Bakura were in the hospital. Nobody knew why.
"Tomorrow I will meet all the remaining semi-finalists in person, each will come alone because I want a private word with each of you." said Kaiba on the speaker from his office. Kaibas voice had a steely hint in it and I suddenly remembered Yamis warning, like Yugi, I was afraid. Though I was happy to find out about the spirit of the millennium puzzle, Yami I also found out was the Pharoah of Egypt.As I said, I was afraid, but I didnt really know why.
The next day before I went to KaibaWorld for the semi-finals I met T'ea which was probably the luckiest thing that ever happened to me youll later find. I told her we were semi-finalists at a tournament and she promised to be there. When me Yugi, Joey and I went to KaibaWorld, Kaiba immediatly called me to his office 
"First," said Kaiba "I want Lindsay." Oh-No! I thought, I promised Yami I wouldnt go near or be alone with Kaiba, I stood absolutely still and made no sign of going to see Kaiba. "NO!" Yami yelled "If Kaiba has a plan he'll do it now!" Mokuba looked at me and said "Seto wants to see you." But to me mokuba sounded shaky and scared. "I cant." I insisted, "I made a promise." Mokuba went to tell his brother, and Seto sounding irritated "If you dont come you WILL be disqualified." I looked at Yugi who nodded at me to go. I tentavely stepped toward the door to Kaibas office, when I stepped inside someone shut the door behind me and I was grabbed from behind.
Kaiba held on to my cast, his eyes filled with pure malice. "Hey!" I said angrily as I spun around to face him. "Let go of me! What is this!?" I demanded and Kaiba smiled "Revenge." said kaiba coldly, I tried to pull away but Kaiba grabbed my other arm and held on tightly, his grip was extrememly painful. "I swear ill hurt you." snarled Kaiba. "And you are! Let GO!" Kaiba looked like he was enjoying himself. I bit my lip to keep from crying out and said stressing each word. "I didnt think I would have to do this." I said and then without hesitation kicked him inbetween the legs. Kaiba doubled over. "I thought so~" I said massaging my wrist. And heading for the door which Mokuba was blocking. "Out of my way!" I cried and reached out to push him away from my ticket away from Kaiba. "Sorry about this...'" mumbled Mokuba and he sprayed some gas in my face where I immediatly blacked out and fell on the floor. Kaiba stood up swaying. "The little..." "you deserved it Seto." said Mokuba "I dont like this one bit." "Neither do I Mokuba, but its the only way."
"Wheeler, your next." said Kaiba softly. Yugi looked at the door. "He did it." Yami said. "What?" Yami sounded regretful "Were about to find out." Joey stepped bravely to Kaibas office, fists-ready, when he opened the door Kaiba was standing awkwardly toward the window, and I was on the floor. Mokuba was sitting shakily on a chair. "You killed her!" Joey accused "No, but Mokuba did use too much gas." said Kaiba quietly. Joey stared at my motionless body, "Come quietly or face the same treatment she did." said Kaiba smiling "Okay, okay, I know when to quit." If I had been concious I would have mde a crack about that. Kaibas bodyguards dragged me and Joey out of the room. "And finally, Yugi, you come here." said Kaiba.
Yami was the one who entered. "What did you do Kaiba?" Yami demanded, Kaiba leaned against the wall and smiled.
9. Heights, evil, and the start of a duel
Kaiba didnt answer Yugi he was grinning widely. "Where are they!" Yami asked again. "Thats for me to know and you to find out." Kaiba replied calmly staring out the window. "I said WHERE are they WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM!" Yami asked furiosly. Kaiba looked up and said:"If you really want to know you will listen to me." I Yami his fists still clenched was quiet "Im listening Kaiba." "I was sure you would be." said Kaiba smugly, "Get on with it." Yami demanded. "It would seem your not in the position to give me orders Yugi." Kaiba said, he might have laughed is he wasnt so sore. I had seen to that. "Alright Yugi this is the deal, We are going to duel, and you will lose." "What gives you that insane idea?" "Because if you win Ill drop your friends to thier death." Yami turned chalkly white the minute the word 'death' was mentioned. "I never thought you would sink this low." said Yami quietly "As I said before, its just a game." "No, its more than a game Yugi, its my pride."
"Very well, I agree to your terms as long as you promise my friends will be returned to me unharmed, If they come back with as much as rugburn, we will make you pay." we? thought Kaiba a moment but he let it pass "Dont worry about your friends, they worst that you can get is Wheeler wetting his pants." Kaiba led Yami to the duel arena, imediatly Yami looked up to see me and Joey tied to one of the cieling beams, the rope we were tied with was very thick and we were hanging on the ceiling like bait on a fishing line. And we were swaying back and forth, of course I was doing it to scare the pants off of Joey, and to mask my fear of heights. ("dont look down, dont look down..") "Uhm, Yami, Yug, can you get me down from here, I really dont like heights..." Joey besides me told me to stop swinging the rope and said "Yeah, I feel like this ropes is trying to kill me...I think Kaiba is too." Kaiba smiled evily "Are you ok Kaiba? Are you sore?" I asked meanly and Kaibas face flushed "As I said, she put up a good fight..." muttered Kaiba.
Yami looked up at the ever-swinging rope "Weeeeeeeee!" I cried though still terrified of heights it was kind of fun to swing. Joey wasnt so pleased. "Hey! First the rope, then Kaiba, now you! The worlds out to get me .." Of course I still didnt stop "Im not trying to kill you, just scare you, besides this is fun!" though I did stop swinging the rope. "Well, if I have to be up here, and plummet to my death, I should at least have fun before hand." I said "I know what it feels like to be almost dead, and it wasnt fun." "Lifes just a gane to you isnt it." "Yep. Duel Monsters!" I said without shame whatsoever. "lets get on with the duel Yugi." said Kaiba getting out his deck and shuffling very pleased with himself indeed. Yami didnt shuffle, if he had to lose, what was the point? So he drew 5 cards and set down Dark Magician in attack mode.
On the field a hologram of the purple-clad magician appeared on the field holding his staff high and his face full of an undying pride. Until today. Kaiba smiled and set out Wingweaver in attack mode 2800/2000 and attacked the magician, who shattered like glass and fadd from the field.

Yami could barely take his eyes away from ushe just glanced at his hand played a card and ended his turn. "What are you doing!" I demanded "Your getting your butt kicked!" I howled "I know, but, its either this or you will plummet to your death. "Why? I could if I tried get away if that stupid fat guy wasnt on the ceiling beam." I said defensively. "Maybe." agreed Yami, "But I dont want to take chances." and in the midst of battle unnoticed T'ea had come to see the semi-finals as promised and the moment she saw up, she grab some bricks from the cluttered floor and put them in her purse.

10. Escape
Tristan suddenly burst through the door behind T'ea "Sorry im late!" gasped Tristan holding a stitch in his side, "I met a girl on the way here she gave me her number." explained Tristan, T'ea shushed him and poited at up. I had begun swinging again "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" I cried and Joey groaned and covered his mouth "Im going to throw up!" Joey complained. "Thats good, throw up on Kaiba!" "Good point Lindsay, continue." "WEEEEEEE!" 
"Whats going on?" asked Tristan his eyes the size of plates. "I dont know, but lets go get them down!" "Yeah!" Tristan agreed, "We can use that ladder!" he pointed at the narrow wooden ladder that leaned against the wall. T'ea dragged herself up the ladder trying to pull up her purse. "Whats in that?" asked Tristan as the purse banged him on the head, "Bricks." said T'ea unhesitantly struggling to climb up. "No wonder it hurt, at least I was right in saying it isnt perfume and all that other make-up stuff." T'ea glared at Tristan "Im not like Mai Tristan." "I know." admitted Tristan massaging his head where the purse hit him. 
When they got to the ceiling they climbed onto a ceiling beam and carefully walked across to the beam we were tied to, there was a large man there. T'ea grabbed her purse and swung it at is head, they man collapsed. T'ea bent down and started untying the rope "Heres our chance." I told Joey, "I thought if I swung hard eneogh we could get on top of the ceiling beam." there was a muffled sound for a minute and suddenly to tied together figuires appeared, it was us. "Hey!" we exclaimed. "YOUR the guard up here?" T'ea laughed "Of course not!" "He is." said Tristan pointing at the twitching guard on the floor. "Oh." I said sounding relieved "I thought I might have to kick you guys too." I told them. "Well, my plan did work." I told Joey "Doesnt mean I have to like it." said Joey grimacing, "I WAS a good (and very fun) idea." "What was the plan?" T'ea asked, "We were (I WAS) swinging trying to get eneogh air to get on top of the ceiling beam, then ide kick the guar(s) and escape," I said simply. "Can you untie us?" I asked, they untied us immediatly and we slipped down the ladder.
"Yugi!" I yellled immediatly, Yami looked up to see Tristan tying the guard and proceding to hang him upside down by his ankles, "Right here!" I said Yami looked at us, utter relief swept his face. "Your safe." he said, "Now we can have a FAIR duel Kaiba." Kaibas face turned white, this was not suposed to happen. But nevermind, he was still winning.
Kaibas lp:7300 Yugis lp: 7000
It was Yugis turn, and he drew his card and looked thoughtfully at it. It was his Dark Magician. His favorite card in his deck and it usually served him well. It would be the case in this duel too. He played Magical Hats and hid Dark Magician in one, the spellbinding circle in another. Four large hats appeared on the field. Because Yugi was sure that Kaiba was going to play his Blue Eyes White Dragon. And when he ended his turn, he found he was right.
Kaiba smirked and played the dreaded dragon, the huge ferociuos thing appeared on the field, and its description fit its name, Blue Eyes, White Dragon. It was really big and I had to take a step back to get a clear veiw of the monstrous thing. "Attack the left right hat!" Kaiba told the Blue Eyes. It was empty. he had had a 50/100 chance of getting the Dark Magician or Spellbinding Circle. 
Then Kaiba smirked at Yugi, "Stop stalling with those hats and come and fight!" "I happily will." said Joey, and I looked exasperated at him and banged him on the head. "Why did you do that?!" Joey demanded. "Im trying to knock some sense into you." I said with a perfectly straight face. Joey groaned. While Tristan laughed his head off. I pretended to be serious and stood watching the duel becuz I was sure that Kaiba wouldnt go down as easily as we all pretended he would. He was world champion after all. Well nearly. Yugi drew a card once again. Swords of Reavealing Light, he would play it later, it was always useful in a tight spot. He set down a trap under another hat and ended his turn. 
Kaiba sighed, it was going to take forever to beat Yugi with hit Magical hats. And he had other cards that would delay him further, Swords of Revealing Light, Kuriboh+Multiplyer, and besides the fact that Yugi may have moves that even Kaiba wasnt prepared for. Nevermind that, thought Kaiba and he attacked the middle hat, the spellbinding circle. "NO!" cried Kaiba as Blue Eyes was ensnared in the Spellbinding Circle, its attack lowered 2500/2500.
Yugi smiled "Im surprised you didnt see that coming." he said simply. "Its an old trick." Kaiba was surprised too. He looked sadly at his Blue Eyes and thought, well, unless he drags out Dark Magician or Summoned Skull im still unbeatable, thought Kaiba, he still had a chance also seeing as he had two more Blue Eyes in his deck. 
Yugi drew another card, he looked at it a moment, it was Multiplyer, all he needed now was Kuriboh. Kaiba probably knew Yugi would do this useful trick ;) But he loved to use the move, it always baffled his oponents. He reavealed his Dark Magician and used his magic card, the book of secret arts, 2800/2000, "ATTACK BLUE EYES!" Yugi bellowed, Dark Magic Attack! the dark magician raised his staff and a purplish lightning came from it, exosed to Blue Eyes the great dragon shattered like glass and faded from the arena.
Kaiba clenched his fists. He still did have two more Blue Eyes after all, so why should he be to mad? He had almost jumped from the Dueling Platform and strangled Joey who wouldnt shut-up shouting "DUEL ME AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE!" but he controlled himself and took several deep breaths. Then he motioned Yugi to go for his turn. Yugi drew again, It was his trusty Celtic Guardian. He played it on the field 1400/1200, the elf-warrior appeared on the field. They both attacked Kaibas lifepoints directly.

Now this is gone too far, Kaiba was losing! And Kaiba didnt think he could stand the embarrassment of losing. He forfieted. It wsnt like Kaiba to forfeit at all. But, it was better than the humiliation of losing to a boy.
Yugi stepped down, deck in hand. I nearly jumped on him; but I do have my dignity (Well, until later I sold it for 10$). After that we all left and went home, we never wanted to speak of this again, we had to pretend that nothing happenned. Why? I dont really know but I knew that it should not be known. And thats the end of the story.
The End of Book One.
Book Two: The Creator
I had never really expected so much danger in just being friends with someone, someones always there to attempt to end it, like Kaiba tried to end ours, with death. Im starting to sound like Tea. Which, I didnt really mind at all in truth. Its just that 2 T'eas is too much in our group! And sometimes I have to admit, those friendship speeches ARE annoying!
It had been awhile since that life-threatening situation, nothing more exciting than a trip to the dentist had happened since then. I kinda missed the adventure. Keyword: Kinda.
Me and my friends had been walking to school on our usual route, when a black cloaked man stepped in front of us. A symbol of an eye on his cloak, you couldnt see his face. Yugi looked startled at the figuires sudden appearence. "Mariks mind slave!" said Joey taking a step back. I as clueless as ever was just standing there. I never will know anything will i? I thought slightly bitter, but more curious about the man.
"Mindslave??" I sounded puzzled, I had no idea what they were talking about."Not necessarily." the figuire said. "Ohh..." Yugi sighed relieved, "Its you Shadi." the man removed his hood to reveal a dark-skinned man in a white turban, he nodded back at us.
"Whos Shadi?" Joey shrugged "Im not really sure." Joey admitted. "A friend." said Yugi simply. "You want to talk to Yami?" Shadis eyes flashed slightly. "I wasnt really here to talk to anyone, im looking for Marik." "Ive seen him around." Yugi said. "He wants my puzzle." Now again, I had no idea what they were talking about, it gets really frustrating.
Shadi nodded. "I know, thats why im at Domino, I expect hes here." "Good luck." said Yugi, "Weve got school." "Right." Shadi disappeared. "Hes the defender of the millennium items." Yugi explained. "Theres more?" I pointed at his puzzle. "Yeah, Bakura has one." "I didnt notice." I replied. "You were to busy kicking him." Joey muttered, he thought I didnt hear him. I hit him on the head. "What was that for!" Joey complained "I was trying to knock some sense into you." I said with a perfectly straight face.
At school I sat next to Yugi and Tea, Joey and Tristan were snickering behind me. I was doodling in my note book, pretending to pay attention to the teacher but really drawing Dark Magician Girls on every part of my paper. Hey, It was more interesting than Egypt. Though Yugi was very interested ill admit...
At lunch Tea leaned to see how much homework I had finished to find a bunch of Dark Magician girls everywhere. "LINDSAY!" cried the exasperated Tea. "Hey, I couldnt help it Tea." I said slightly smiling because I was privately amused that T'ea cared so much about schoolwork "Its just there to make us miserable after all" I said that alot to Tea, everyday.
It was pretty much a typical day at Domino.
When we were headed home, well, me and Yugi, I had to run from Tea who insisted I do homework with her so she could keep an eye on my studies. "No wonder you have all C's!" she had told me earlier that day. I had only grinned at her.
Yugi lived very near me, at a local cardshop, Mutou Games. Thats where I got most of my cards. But tonight Yugi was coming to my house to help me with my deck which I insisted was not perfect, "And besides, I copy moves, and dont have any of my own." Im sure I annoyed him, but he did not decline. 
"Ok, but first I have to help Grandpa." He told me. "Ok. See you at my house! You know the way right?" "Of course."
When he came we spent an hour or so deckbuilding then watched some rented movies. Being Friday, my parents (though hesitant for some reason) let him stay the night.
Thats when I asked him, (It had been bothering me all day) "Whats a Mindslave? who is Marik? And Shadi? And are there more millennium items like that pyramid-thing??"
"Wow, you have alot of questions." said Yugi "I cant help it." I replied, "Its all confusing, so much stuff keeps happening." "Alright, a mindslave is a person who is taken over by Marik by the millennium rod, that may answer your last question, Marik is my enemy, as well as Yamis and the worlds. Shadi is the guardian of the millennium items." He sounded slightly breathless from talking so fast, the rest of the night I said no more about it.
The next day, Saturday, We all were heading toward the new arcade, we were all walking. Joey and Tristan side-by-side as always, snickering and being idiots as usual, or at least Joey was.
Me and Yugi were in the lead "Wonder what they find so funny?" I said looking around. They must have known me very well because after we left the arcade I knew why, we had been in there barely ten minutes when I got very frustrated because I couldnt win...I probably would have blown the place up if Joey hadnt dragged me out. 
They all had suceeded in winning a game but me, but that wasa probably cause I picked the hardest game in the arcade that the manager claimed he couldnt beat. :P 
After I cooled down, Joey and Tristan were laughing there heads off, that was nothing unusual of course but when I heard them, my once cooled temper turned magma hot and I tried to aim a punch at Joey who was laughing the hardest of all. I missed and Joey ran down the street, me hot on his tail, "Your gonna be sorry!" Joey was still laughing.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Your running too fast!" I yelled after him, he was off like lightning, Yugi and Tristan were not far behind me, Yugi smiling slightly, Tristan, not bothering to hide his laughter. "Your next Tristy!" I yelled to him, then it was his turn to run, in the other direction that is.
Joey ran into an alleyway, he was lucky he was so fit because he got this at least once a day, he looked around for somewhere to hide, and stopped dead, as did I when I saw what he was looking at.
A shadowy figuire.
Who wasnt Shadi...
I stood absolutely still, as if I thought, If I didnt move, the thing/person wouldnt see me.
Yugi and Tristan shortly came to find out what was taking me so long. Only Yugi seemed unsurprised, undaunted. "Another Mindslave." He said quietly, he and Yami stared at the figuire "Arent you going to attempt a duel?" Tristan said. "No." The figuire said quickly and hurried off.
When he left, I saw something gold glinting on the ground, I went to investigate to find a small necklace that had a pure black gem in the middle, a symbol of an eye carved on the gem.
I tucked it in my pocket and turned to go home with my friends (Well, not before I kicked Joey in the stomach) And I said nothing to them about my discovery, believing it nothing anyways...I had no idea how wrong I was.
The next day, Saturday. We all decided to go to the Theature especially considering that my friends knew it wouldnt be safe to take me to the arcade again...(:P) 
We were walking as usual, I was in the front, by Yugi,Tea closely followed, then in the back, the Laughing Boys. They werent laughing as usual, on the contrary, they were limping! Which was an improvement to thier usual girl-like giggling. 
The newly dubbed "Tristy" did have a smirk on his face though. But I was in a good mood, and had nearly forgotten the happenings of yesterday. We nearly were at the movie theature, I was talking to Yugi, who was telling me about Duel Monsters, and Yami, who offered me advice about dueling, I listened to them, "Revenge makes you lose duels." Yami told me. "Really, I thought it made you duel better." "no."Yami answered, "It clouds your mind." "Ill keep that in mind." I promised him, and turned to Yugi, who told me about Duel Monsters, which he told me originated in Ancient Egypt, which is basically the only thing "educational" that interested me. 
Its very hard talking to two people at once, somehow I managed it. 
But suddenly as we walked, I stopped, I tried to move my legs but I couldnt. What! I thought desprately and then sudenly felt a deep cold that sunk into my very bones. 
I was now in a brightly lit chamber, there was a man there, who held a gold rod, and had whitish hair and dark eyes. "Who are you." I said, my eyes now cat-like with slits. "Why should I tell you?" he said with a hiss. "Well, because I have the right to know, I cant move.." The man had a peculiar smirk on his face. "Im Marik. Future Pharoah, and ruler of the world." I scoffed, or tried to, my throat had constricted. 
"Ive heard of you." I said, in truth, I only knew he was Yami and my friendses enemy. So I put on a bratty face to hide my truly terrified feelings. "Where are we." I didnt ask, I demanded. "Think very hard." He said smugly. I knew, but did not say so Marik said it for me, "In your mind." 
????? 
I knew but did not believe 
"GET OUT!" I yelled, but I was back. I could move again. My friends looked startled. "I must have been daydreaming." I lied. I knew I wasnt, bt we were at the movie theature and I didnt plan on spoiling my weekend because some self-acclaimed Pharoah was in my head. 
Another idiocy by me, I knew that as well as anyone. But, I didnt really care, and that was my undoing. 
I remember the movie vaugely. I hadnt really been watching it, I had just stared at the screen but my mind was somewhere else. I laughed when everyone else did, left when the movie ended, but was more like a zombie than anything. 
My friends did notice, but they suposed I was tired and said nothing of it, they really began to suspect something when Joey played I joke on me and I didnt hurt him. 
My eyes were as blank as when a teacher asked me a question. 
I wasnt 'there' technically. If your wondering, I had been talking to Marik. I couldnt get much info out of him. Except for these two facts: Something I possessed made it easy, He could take control of my body whenever he felt like it. 
"Why dont you now?" I demanded "I thought it would do you a service to let you say goodbye to your body, forever." 
"Never." I hissed through clenched teeth, "Your hour is about to end." Marik warned. "You should enjoy your stay Marik, sadly, it wont last long." I retorted, but as smoothly as silk, I didnt flinch at his sudden shouting. "Dont fight me, girl, I am way to powerful!" "Humor me, say it again." I couldnt see Mariks smirk, I could sense it. 
"You think its funny do you?" Marik said nothing, but I knew he was still smirking, "im not someone to cross." I told him. "maybe not with your friends." Marik argued. "No, en=ven my friends dont cross me, the smart ones that is." Marik scoffed. "And if your smart, you wont cross me either." I said with out a trace of a quiver. Bluffing is a game im very good at, but Marik wasnt convinced. Man he is a tough customer I thought, and ignored his my last 15 minutes. 
Just 15 minutes before Marik proved me wrong. 
Marik and I were in that red-and-gold chamber again. Marik looked around casually and said, "not a bad mind." I glared at him. "Now it is time, that I take your body." he said with a triumphant look on hi face. "Not so fast." I snarled and ran at him, I kicked him between the legs and he keeled over. "I Warned you." I said with a hiss and bared my teeth at him.
Marik of course couldnt put up with the truth. So He took controll, I struggled...I just couldnt stop him from taking control. He was now in contol.
Marik (im MY body *grrrr*) Stood a few yards from Yugi staring hungrily at his millennium puzzle. Inside the depths of my mind I was screaming. Unheard. Unnoticed. I was so scared and pale white.
Marik was in the very back, "Why cant I catch him alone!" Snarled Marik, aloud. Luckily nobody heard. For him. "His dumb friends insist on being by his side at every moment!" Marik was extrememly frustrated.
Wasting no time, he tapped Yugi on the shoulder and requested to speak with him alone. Yugi, suspecting nothing went with Marik, but the moment they were out of veiw of my friends, he snatched the puzzle and ran as fast as he could away.
Kaiba definatley wasnt happy to find that I was already out of my 'Room', he had gone through all that trouble to get the keys for nothing. No anger was visable in his voice, but his eyes gleamed oddly enough for you to realise his feelings. "Hi. So, your all insane too?" I said smiling shakily at them, and glancing at the hallway every few seconds, expecting to see Marik again. "Not quite." Kaiba said tolerantly, "Come on, Yugi and I will need to make some arrangements--the dog too." I glanced at Joey who miraculously didnt care about the comment, he was just relieved I was ok. Pretty sure I was okay anyways. So we headed out, I, disguised in a labcoat as Kaibas personal assistant--he wishes. 
The helicopter was right on the parking lot, blocking the entry of alot of irritated people. "Do we get the funding?!" asked the secretary anxiously. "Not after all those cells." he replied cooly. "Not a chance!" I hollered loudly, and climbed into the copter. "So, what did take you guys so long--I was going insane in there." T'ea gave me an annoyed glance. "So...if I stayed longer, I would have belonged there." I said with a grin. "Yep, shes normal, well, as normal as she's gonna get." said Joey grinning also. "Nothing like her weird sense of humor." 
It was darker outside, it was seven o'clock, and my arm hurt like heck. Through the white clothes, the large, wet blood stain was fairly obvious. "What happened there?" ""Everyone in the building tackled me." I said harshly. Everyone ( except Kaiba) lokked questionative. "Ill explain later." then I said in an even lower voice. "Way later." 
We were in the sky now, and as I looked down, I could see the dark figuire of Marik, and the glinting gold Millennium Rod. A breath of relief swept me, he couldnt get me now, but he saw me, odd as it is he saw me in the sky, and I could see his smirk. I didnt say anything. I didnt want to trouble my friends further than I already have... 
There was a rustle in the baggage compartment above my head. I opened it and to my almost-complete surprise, there was a man in there. not just any man, a Rare Hunter. "Oh, great." I said sarcastically. "I guess Ill just throw you out." I said with a shrug, the man probably looked annoyed under his black hood. "So, Im guessing he found me again...I hoped he at least would be delayed when he found the room empty." 
I grabbed the guys arm and showed him the door. He didnt budge, and I couldnt budge him. "Im guessing there will be one more duel tonight." I said grimly. "Too bad the real you wont be accompanying us." I said cooly. "Get out of the drivers seat Kaiba." "I would like to see you make me." Kaiba replyed tartly. 
"your wish is my command." Marik snarled, he knocked Kaiba silly on the head. Then grabbed his blue attire and yanked hi off the seat." 
"I guess your duel has been delayed, Yug." I muttered. My friends were speechless. 
"Im very popular arent I?" I said to who turned white as paper. "Dont worry everybody, I knew this was going to happen. Just not exactly when." the KaibaCorp Helicopters propellers hummed loudly. "We'll be landing soon." I informed them quietly. "I hope Kaiba isnt too pissed when he wakes up." I smirked, I never did like Kaiba. "You coulda warned us." Tristan complained. "And ruin the excitement?!" I demanded. Yugi laughed quietly, "I expected you would say something like that." "Whats been happening?" "A wild goose chase." replyed T'ea. "And we also checked out that weird painting in your room." "I was afraid you would bring that up." "Whats it mean?" "I dunno. Honestly." yeah right thought Marik, "The Great Priestess should understand everything." "Well, im not the High Priestess anymore." I retorted blandly. "I WAS, but that was a thousand years ago." I wish I could see the contorted look on Marik's face..Alas. 
"So. Your sure you dont know what the painting means?" "Positive. I didnt even see it." "Oh..." "I mean, I went to the shrink in the middle of the night, I knew I must have made some racket because my parents entered my room, I could sense them." when I said that I felt very short, even though Yugi was only an inch or so taller...everybody else there was towering. When you thought about it, it was kinda funny. I, the shortest person and the 2nd girl posed a bigger threat than anybody else there, sure they were great Duelists...Yami undoubtedly better than me, I just matched about Joeys skill. And I was the youngest. Obviously. I was the 12-year-old prodigy wasnt I? But when that thought crossed my mind, I thought, no wonder Marik wants me. Im a genius...I get way higher grades than anybody I knew...and I built the Millennium Items, no matter how hard I denied it. 
The helicopter landed smoothly on top of Kaiba World. I attempted to right Kaiba who was coming round' he moaned almost inaudibly. Yugi and T'ea helped me with him, I put him on his rightful piolets seat. Mokuba who was crouched beside him had his hands in fists. "Kick that guy will ya?" he said loudly "My pleasure." I smirked and glanced at Marik. "But the REAL one of course. Not the Mind Slave." 
"Hurry." Marik said clawing at my arm, I didnt wince. But said rather calmly. "Im going to need that arm later. Thankyou." he released his grip and I took of the glistening red labcoat., both my arms were bloodied. "Im going to need another cast later." I said sounding annoyed. "Joey, youll have to help me, I cant use my cards with my arms, I dont want blood on my cards." Joey quickly agreed, "Ill try to clean up the unmanageable blood, if its okay with Marik of course?" I said mockingly and begining to feel dizzy, but I didnt show it. Loss of blood was begining to effect me. "Im obviously going to faint soon." I told Marik. "From blood loss, I cant help that." Marik looked annoyed, the real one. He appeared there instantaneously, "Greeeeeeeeeat..." I began to slur my speech. "meerik.." 
Mariks eyes narrowed. I began to sway oddly, my eyes seemed to turn amber. "Huh?" Tristan and Yugi hopped up and took hold of each arm. Joey took hold of Mariks arms. "Im gonna break you into two!" Joey threatened. "nooooo." I mumbled. "Iiim goiinggg to." "No. Your going to the hospital." "Again..." I slumped to the ground. "I don' waaannna..." "Tough." Trisyan said. "Nobodys going to duel right now." Yami said to Marik coldly. "When the duelists are capable of dueling, they'll duel." "Fine." "Ill meet you all behind her house when she's better." then he quickly added "Which better be soon." "I cant guarrentee that." Yami said. "I...toold...you..soo.." I mumbled and said no more. 
to be continued...
