Chaos Generation Next Book: 4
Chapter One: Frustration and Fat Joey.
Yugi and Yami hadn't spoken to each other in over a month since the night of the attack on the air fortress. He'd primarily been focusing his attention of building his new deck in preparation for the upcoming Tournament of Champions. He would never forget the day that the announcement had been made over the TV. An American Company which had strong ties to Industrial Illusions was hosting a tournament to boost it's profit shares in Pegasus' company and therefore generate more capital for what looked like a hostile take over. Pegasus was of course hiding behind the scenes and waiting for Yugi and his friends to take care of it all.
Meanwhile, Kaiba corp had been contracted to build new duel disks for the event. They went on sale today. Yugi, as usual, was right on top of things and was now on his way to buy his new duel disk at the tournament sponsored stores at the mall in Tokyo. Yami was registering in Domino so that meant that they were both going to be in the tournament as rivals. They hadn't dueled each other since that fateful day in Death Valley. The last time their spirits were separated from each other. Yugi remembered that his friend the Pharaoh had done everything humanly possible to get him back.
"Maybe I'm being too hard on him." Yugi said to himself as he waited in line. "After all, he can't help the way he feels anymore than I can." Just then, though, two young duelists came walking by. They were talking in depth about how they'd heard that a Yugi Motou imposter had signed up in the tournament and was bragging that he'd beat the real Yugi Motou. They could only have been talking about Yami. "So he's going to beat the real Yugi Motou is he?" Yugi snuffed. "I'll show him." Rumors like these were only the half of what was going on in the duelist world. For one thing another rumor was going around that Joey Wheeler wouldn't be competing because of a medical condition he's recently acquired
When they heard this, Mokuba and his friends all could not believe it so while Yugi worked out his problems with Yami, they raced down to Domino to check on Joey and Mai.

"I don't believe this!" Mokuba cried when he saw Joey that afternoon. He, Shippo, Souta, Rebecca and Rin stood in awe of the massive blob of blubber which now sat before them in a lounge chair. It was Joey and he was as fat as a whale. He was so fat that he could not hardly move and Mai, well…
Mai simply stood back and smiled.
"Do I know how to keep my man happy or what?" She asked handing over another tray of snacks for Joey to consume, which he did like a vacuum.
"Yeah, who loves you baby." Joey belched and awaited more snacks.
"This is impossible, how could you have gained so much weight in such a short amount of time?" Rebecca asked.
"I didn't start out to gain it all. I actually started out loosing weight. You see I was on that shake diet and well, it just got out of control." Joey replied.
"You gained all this weight drinking Shrink Smart Shakes?" Souta asked looking at the dozens of empty glasses on the TV tray.
"Shrink Smart Shakes, no way, those taste like paint. I had Mai make me some homemade." Joey informed them.
"Besides, I didn't like the way a few new customers were ogling him," Mai said. "He's my man and I'm keeping him."
"By making him bigger than a sumo wrestler?" Rebecca demanded.
"I'll have you know that Sumo Wrestlers are revered here in Japan!" Mai objected, "A national treasure! And my Joey's gonna be the best… Just as soon as he learns to walk again."
"Hold on, I feel a tickle," Joey said. "I think I'm sittin on something,' he reached into some of his fat folds, and pulled out…
"Bakura!" the kids gasped in horror.
"We thought you went back to London," Mokuba said as their old friend staggered out, and leaned on the wall for support.
"I came to visit Yugi, and I fell in," Bakura said, shaking all over. "I've been living on crumbs!"
"Geez, sorry dude," Joey said, he reached out to shake his buddie's hand, and Bakura screamed and ran behind the kids.
"Keep him away!" Bakura begged, "I'll get sucked in again!"
"I think we have a problem now," Souta said.
"Guys, this is serious, we've got to get Joey in shape again." Mokuba said as he tried shoving against Joey's enormous body.
"Registration for the tournament ends in two weeks. How can he loose all this weight before it's too late?" Souta asked, helping Mokuba.
"Hey guys this is fun!" Shippo called as he bounced merrily on Joey's large stomach.
"Hehehehehehe! That tickles!" Joey cried.
"Rin, come on, we can probably hit the ceiling," Shippo said, pulling her up with him.
"Don't get to close to his sides," Bakura warned them.
"I ain't a trampoline!" Joey finally yelled, "Get off o' me!"
Transition
Jaken covered his ears and cowered in the corner as the two Inu-puppies screamed and whined.
"Daken! Daken pay hide an seek!" baby Kaede screamed.
"I don't want to play that game with the two of you! You always take it too far and leave me in a closet somewhere!" Jaken yelled back. "Last time you left me alone for two whole days! I nearly starved!"
"Daken silly," Hiro giggled.
"Pay wif us!" Kaede barked.
"I think I preferred babysitting Rin," Jaken whimpered. Then he heard noise he dreaded. The bar on the play pin lifted up. He shook and whimpered as the toddlers spilled out and made a dash for him on their short little legs.
"Tug o war! Tug o war!" they chanted as they grabbed Jaken by the arms and started to pull him apart.
"ARRRGGGHHH!" Jaken screamed as he felt his joints popping. "Master Inu-yasha! Save me!"
"What the heck's going on in here?" Inu-yasha demanded. "I try to take a nap and all I hear is you screaming."
"Save me before your children tear me into bits!" Jaken begged.
"I should let them eat you alive for the racket you're making," Inu-yasha said, leaning against the door frame.
"EAT ME!" Jaken wailed. He whirled his head to look at the children, who were smiling big fanged grins at him. "ARRRGGGGHHH! SAVE MEEEEEEE!"
"All right, all right, if it'll make you shut up," Inu-yasha said. He walked up to the little scene, bent down, and asked, "Who wants a piggy back ride?"
"Me me me me me!" Hiro cried, letting go of Jaken and holding out his arms to his dad.
"Pick me up, daddy!" Kaede asked, flinging Jaken into the wall, the servant smacking it with a loud THUD.
Inu-yasha had each one cling to his shoulders, and he asked, "Who wants to play hide and seek from mommy?"
"Yay! Hide an seek! Hide an seek!" they chanted. Obeying the whims of his children, Inu-yasha galloped off to who knows where. Seconds later, Kagome barged into the nursery.
"Jaken, have you seen Inu-yasha?" she asked, looking under every nook and cranny.
"He just left with your two little cannibals!" Jaken complained as he fell off the wall.
"They haven't been knowing on you again, have they?" she asked.
"No, this time Inu-yasha threatened to feed me to them." Jaken said, rubbing the numerous bumps on his head.
"Relax," Kagome told him, "I'm sure he was just kidding. Besides, I don't imagine you would taste very good," she added as she left the injured lackey.
"Lord Sesshomaru said the same thing when he was fifty," Jaken sighed. "Oh, what a horrid fate this is of mine… Doomed to serve these Inu-puppies for the rest of time!"
