Hey there everyone. I finally decided to upload one of my stories on here and share with you guys. It's my first actual story that I haven't given up on after like two chapters XD.
Well anyway, this is a story about Yugi and Mokuba (will probably include the rest of the group with their own chapters but the main two are Yugi and Mokuba) I'm not very good at this whole thing so I have no clue what to say, except I hope you guys enjoy it because there needs to be more Chibishipping in the world. I welcome your comments and reviews (just don't insult me or my story, that's all I ask.)
Oh yeah, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did, then YugixMokuba would be canon. Lol. Well, hope you guys like.
Chapter 1
"Yugi! Your friends are here! Hurry up, my boy, you don't want to keep them waiting!"
"I'll be down in a minute, Grandpa!" Yugi called down to his Grandfather. The teen stood in front of his mirror as he got dressed, half naked and clothes scattered around his room. He grabbed a white tank top and slid it over his head then looked over at Yami who was sitting on the bed. "What do you think?"
"You're asking me what I think of your outfit? Yugi, you know I'm not an expert on this stuff. But if you're asking me if I think you look like a fool or not, then no, you don't." Yami replied
"Well, I guess that's good enough. We can't keep them waiting any longer." Yugi tossed on his jacket, put the Millennium Puzzle back around his neck, and run out of his room to meet with his friends, who were waiting for him at the entrance to the shop. Running into the room, he was greeted with a voice that was hard to mistake for anyone else.
"Hey, Yug, what took ya so long?" Joey asked with one of his signature grins. Joey was there along with Tea and Tristan. "I bet Mai and Duke are already there waiting for us. Not to mention, I've been itching for weeks to try out KaibaCorp's new game."
"What's the hurry, Joey? You know how Kaiba's last little virtual reality game went. Plus, you can't stand him." Tristan replied shaking his head at his friend.
Tea nodded. "He's right, Joey, you shouldn't be so eager for this." She said looking at Joey who had his fist clenched towards Tristan. "Our previous times in Virtual Reality haven't gone that well."
"I don't see any reason to worry guys." The spiky hair teen said. "Mokuba said that his brother oversaw the whole production of the game. Not to mention, they went over everything multiple times to make sure there won't be any problems this time."
"Your friends still have a point, Yugi. They have a right to be a little nervous about this."
"Oh come on you guys. You were there when Kaiba's brother showed up the pictures of the game. How could you not be excited to try it? Plus, we've been able to overcome any problems in the past." Joey explained then looked at Yugi standing close to him. "Ain't that right, Yug?"
Yugi smiled and nodded. "Right."
"Well, we better get going guys. Serenity and Bakura are waiting for us outside. The sooner we get to Kaibaland and try the game out then the sooner we can go home." Tea told the gang, still nervous about this.
The group of teens walked outside and were greeted by Joey's sister as well as Bakura. The greetings were short and sweet because it hasn't been that long since they've last seen each other. They had to walk to Kaibaland, but they didn't mind walking. They loved walking actually because that just gave them more time to talk. Before they knew it, they saw Kaibaland approaching in the distance.
The whole park was closed that day for maintenance and a few renovations, so the only people in the park were KaibaCorp workers and also Seto and Mokuba and a few engineers for the game. When they arrived at the gate Duke Devlin and Mai Valentine were already there. They greeted Yugi and his friends.
"There you guys are. What took you guys so long?" Duke asked.
Tristan laughed. "Well, Yugi couldn't decide what to wear I think." This caused Yugi's face to heat up slightly because of embarrassment as everyone else laughed.
"Couldn't decide what to wear? Yugi, you didn't have to dress up for me." Mai smirked. Yugi's face was still warm as he heard another voice call out. He looked over at the gate to see Mokuba walking towards it.
"You guys finally made it. Great." The younger Kaiba exclaimed. Opening the gate, he gave a slight smile. "Thanks for the help. I know you were the last group of people that my brother would ask for help with something, but you were the only ones that make sense to try the game out. Seto knew that eventually we would need someone who wasn't apart of the production of the game to try it out before we could release it."
"It's no problem, Mokuba." Yugi smiled. "Besides, Joey has been so excited to try the game out the day you showed us those pictures. " The teen chuckled.
"Just as long as we don't get trapped in there again." Mai added.
Duke looked over at Mai with a slight look of confusion. "Did you just use the words 'trapped' and 'again' in the same sentence? What happened last time?"
Mokuba rubbed the back of his head after Duke asked his question. "It's a long story. But don't worry. My big brother made sure nothing like that will happen again." He said with a large childish grin. "Speaking of my big brother, he is waiting for us. We shouldn't keep him waiting any longer. Follow me."
The group, led by Mokuba, walked to the far end of Kaibaland to a building closed off to the public. It wasn't a very large building but it stood out with the large sign on the front of the building which had multiple monsters on it. Kaiba's signature Blue Eyes were in the center. This building is where Seto Kaiba had the final versions of the pods for his Virtual Reality Game that would be opened to the public after the last edits were made. This were the ones that Yugi and his friends would be using.
"They're right in here." Mokuba said as he led them inside. Yugi looked around and saw the computer screens all around and the pods in a circle around a large computer in the center.
Seto looked as the door slid open and saw that they have arrived, letting out a slight groan of distaste. "It's about time you got here." Seto said. "I don't have all day, and I don't want to waste the time with you and your little group, Yugi. But since you're the only one that even comes close to me skill wise, you were the only one that made sense, so I don't have much choice." The older Kaiba crossed his arms while he was talking. "So listen up while I explain the basics of my game." Seto then looked over at Joey. "And I'll try to talk slow and not use a lot of big words, so mutts like you can understand."
Joey reacted to that insult as he always did, clenched his fist and growling slightly. "Why I oughta.." He was about to jump at Kaiba, and he would have if Tristan hadn't grabbed in him a full nelson and held him back.
"Calm down, Joey, you knew he was going to do that." Tristan said while he strained to hold Joey back. "Stop letting him get to you."
Seto just looked away from Joey. "Hmph. Like you could do anything to me, Wheeler. Be thankful you're friends with Yugi, or else you wouldn't even be here. Just keep quiet and try not to make a bigger fool of yourself then you already have." He laughed.
Mokuba walked over to a computer and began typing something. A moment later the pods opened up.
Seto smirked. "The world you are all about to enter isn't like the last one. Cards mean nothing there, so your decks won't be required. The monsters are already in the world. You'll all start with one lower leveled monster. This will be your guardian. This monster will be doing your fighting, but their original attack and defense points, also, mean nothing. You also don't have life points but your guardian does. So if you lose all your guardians, then you lose. So you better plan on getting better and stronger guardians if you want to survive since you won't all be together. You will all randomly be sent to different starting points. Each has it's own terrain and monsters. Your goal is to find and reach the Tower of Immortals and make it to the top. Defeat the monster there and you win. Now to be fair since you all only start with one guardian, you will all be paired up with a partner."
"That was my idea," Mokuba added proudly. "Since not everyone is my big brother and it has to be kid friendly. You can't just toss a kid in the middle of nowhere with just a single monster, and expect to have a chance since once you lose all your guardians you're out. So you all get a partner, at least until you meet up with the rest of your group with your situation."
"As my little brother said, I hate having to work with someone else, but you have to have a chance of success at the start or this game will never go anywhere. But I can't make it so easy that even a chump, like Wheeler, could beat it."
"Watch it, rich boy." Joey retaliated.
Seto just smirked. "I'm done talking. You'll figure the rest out on your own, or you better or else you won't last long. Let's get this over and done with." Seto Kaiba then looked over at his little brother, and Mokuba knew what his brother wanted.
Higher skill will be paired with lower skill." Mokuba said pressing a few buttons. "I'll be paired with my brother, Yugi with Tea, Joey with his sister, Mia with Tristan, and Duke with Bakura. So enter the pods and the rest will be taken care of."
With that said, everyone began getting into the pods. The helmet connected to their heads, and the visors slid over their eyes. Everything was going as planned as the transition to the game world began.
A computer voice began explaining to each person their starting point. Yugi watched as he was given a choice of three different starting guardians. He chose the Celtic Guardian and everything was going smoothly, but what happened next was not what Yugi expected. Soon he found himself waking up in a forest on a path. Soon he started hearing a voice talking to him.
"Master? Master, are you okay?" Yugi slowly opened his eyes and saw his guardian was the one that was speaking to him, the Celtic Guardian. "Master Yugi, come. We must keep going. It will be dark soon, and we have to make it to town before then. Your partner is just up ahead and waiting for us."
Yugi slowly rubbed his eyes and started to stand, his guardian helping him up. "Partner?" he asked somehow forgetting he was given a partner. "Oh yeah, Tea." The teen said.
"Tea?" The Celtic Guardian asked. "I'm sorry, Master, but I don't know who that is."
Yugi looked shocked when his guardian said he didn't know who Tea is. "What do you mean you don't know who she is? She is supposed to be my partner."
"Master, you are greatly mistaken. Your partner is Master Mokuba, and he and his guardian are waiting for us."
Yugi's eyes widened further when he said Mokuba. "Mokuba? Why is Mokuba my partner? What happened?" Yugi was worried about Tea; even though, he knew it was just a game. He had no idea where she and the rest of his friends were, or if they all got partnered up at all like Mokuba said they would.
"Yugi, I think it would be best if we talk to Mokuba. Maybe he has an idea of what happened. My guess is that he arrived before us. And if we got the wrong partner then Kaiba and Tea got the wrong partner as well, that is a given. They may have been partnered with each other, or everyone's partner isn't the one we were told going into this."
"You're right, let's go talk to Mokuba. Lead the way, Celtic Guardian." His monster bowed his head slightly and started walking forward on the path. Yugi followed and soon they saw two figures start to manifest up ahead. As they got closer, Yugi saw that it was, in fact, Mokuba and his guardian, Kanan the Swordmistress. "Mokuba!" Yugi called out.
Both, Mokuba and his monster, turned to look at them. "It's Master Yugi, Master Mokuba." Kanan the Swordmistress said.
"Mokuba, what happened? Where is Tea?" Yugi asked after running up to him. "And what about your brother?"
"Yugi..I.." Mokuba looked away, not wanting to look Yugi in the eyes. "I..um..guess I pressed the wrong buttons." he replied softly and not convincing.
"You guess you pressed the wrong buttons? Mokuba, I don't believe someone like you could 'press the wrong buttons' and mess it up. Really, what happened? Why didn't we get the partners that you said? Was there an error in the game, or did someone do it on purpose?
Mokuba still did not look at Yugi, trying to find the right words for this situation. "I'm sorry, Yugi. It w-was me…I did it. I mixed up the pairings. I just…"
"You mixed them up? Why in the world did you do that? What purpose does it serve?" Yugi grabbed Mokuba's shoulders and shook him slightly as he asked.
"Yugi…I." Mokuba tried to speak but still couldn't get the words to come out. This was proving more difficult than he thought.
"Come on, Mokuba, why did you do it? Tell me, please."
"Because I wanted to spend time with you, Yugi!" Mokuba yelled, turning his head towards Yugi but closing his eyes.
"Wh-What?" Yugi replied, shocked and not sure if he heard him correctly.
Mokuba slowly opened his eyes but lowered his head. "I wanted to spend time with you, Yugi. That's why I mixed up the pairings. This was the only way I could, I'm sorry." Mokuba felt his face heat up as he spoke. What was he doing? Wanting to spend sometime with Yugi, alone? This wasn't going to work. He began to regret doing this more and more by the second.
"Why, Mokuba? Why would you want to do that?" Yugi was baffled by the younger Kaiba in front of him. Why did he want time with him? Why would he risk angering his brother? He knew Seto put so much time and effort into this game, and now he had to partner with one of his friends.
"Are you mad at me, Yugi?" Mokuba asked timidly, worried that Yugi was mad at him and probably ruining any chance that Yugi and his friends would have to enjoy this game. Mokuba kept his head down as his thoughts tore him apart inside. He was so ashamed of what he did, and he couldn't fix it now because they were already in the game world.
"Mad? No, I'm not mad, Mokuba. I'm just confused about all this."
At Yugi's words, Mokuba looked up at him, shocked that he wasn't mad. "You're not mad? Really?"
"No, Mokuba, I just want to know the reason. That's all. I'm sure everyone else is probably fine, and this is just a game. What's the worst that could happen? But really, what is the reason behind you wanting to spend time with me, so much that you would do this?"
"Well…" Mokuba was about to say the true reason, or at least try, but he was cut off by his guardian.
"Master, we must go now!" She said holding up her sword, and the Celtic Guardian holding up his seconds after. "It is no longer safe here. We must get out of the forest quickly before monsters show up."
Yugi and Mokuba looked at their guardians who were ready for a fight, and moments later four Leghuls appeared from out of the bushes. Then, the situation got worse as two Cockroach Knights showed up between the Leghuls just seconds after.
"Gah, we're out numbered!" Mokuba gasped. "We have to get to the town up ahead. Our guardians have no chance against those numbers even if they are stronger. We can't risk it! Let's go, Yugi!"And with that Yugi and Mokuba, as well as their guardians, began running as quickly as they could away from the monsters and towards the town where they would be safe, and hopefully where Yugi could get some answers.
Well that's the first chapter. Hope you guys liked it and look forward to the rest. Like I said, I welcome your reviews and comments. So let me know what you liked and didn't like so far :) I won't bite, unless you want me to.
