"We Are Yamily"

Chapter One : Sibling Rivalry

"Rock - Scissors - Paper - Shoot." Mikau and Shira Akurideji both chose scissors.

"Again." Shira said.

Both got scissors again.

Both got paper the third time.

"Stop choosing what I'm choosing!" Shira told him.

"I don't mean to." Mikau whined.

Mikau : Scissors, Shira : Rock.

"Ha, I win, I go first."

Mikau sighed. "Okay..."

"I'll draw. And by playing Ookazi, you lose 800 LP." Shira said.

(Mikau : 7200)

"One card F-Down. End turn, your move." Shira told her brother.

"I'll draw..." Mikau said, as he looked at his hand. "I'll play Wolf Axweilder (A: 1650, D : 1000), and this F-Down. Your move."

"Funny, thought you were going to attack me." Shira said.

"With a card F-Down, and no monsters, you got to be up to something." Mikau said, logicly.

"Well, I'll just draw, play this card F-Down in Def. Mode, and one card down." Shira said, doing so. "Your move, brother."

Mikau drew, and looked at the card. "Aw, man." Apparently it wasn't a good card.

"Whacha get?" Shira asked, mockingly.

"Something I can't summon." Mikau replied.

"I'll attack your F-Down monster." Shira smiled.

"Witch of the Black Forest." Shira picked up her deck, and began looking though it.

"How'd you get that Witch of the Black Forest?" Mikau asked.

"Kuf gave it to me."

Kuf Akurideji was their youngest brother.

"Okay, I found my card..." She then added it to her hand. "If you end your move, it's mine."

"Oh yeah..." Mikau said, ending his turn.

"I draw... a very good card..." Shira said, pleased. "Fissure." She said, flipping the magic card.

"You can't do that." Mikau said. "De-Spell." He flipped the card.

"Ah.h.h... Hmph, okay. Well, I'll just summon Gear Fried the Iron Knight (A : 1800, D : 1600). He'll attack your wolf." Shira said.

(Mikau : 7050)

"Your turn." Shira nodded.

Mikau drew. "I'll sacrifice the Earth monster from my graveyard to summon The Rock Spirit (A : 1700, D : 1000), in Atk Mode." Mikau said.

"Um... Ahem, okay." His sister said. "Now what?"

"Your move." Mikau told her.

"I'll play one card F-Down, and end my move." Shira declared.

"I'll draw, and I'll play this F-Down in Def Mode." Mikau declared, doing so. "And end my move."

"One monster F-Down, and a card F-Down." Shira said. "End move." Mikau drew.

"Rrrright, I'll draw. One card F-Down, and end my move."

"I drew, and activate Dark Hole, and now, by playing Monster Reborn, I'll revive Gear Fried the Iron Knight to attack your LP."

(Mikau : 5250)

"Mikau, draw." Shira told him.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it." Mikau said, drawing the card on top of his deck. "A monster F-Down in Def Mode, and now, my turn is done."

"Draw, I'll two cards F-Down, and a monster F-Down in Def Mode." Shira said, sighing.

"Okay, Gear Fried, attack!" Freezing Beast (A : 1500, D : 1000) was destroyed by Shira's monster. "Your move."

Mikau drew his card.

"I'll just end my move." Shira made a sound with her tongue. "Oookay... I'll draw, play another card F-Down." She said, as she placed it down. "And flip, Chain Energy. Gear Fried the Iron Knight will attack your LP."

(Mikau : 3450)

"Oh, man, I'm losing..." Mikau sighed, and drew a card. Mikeyu played Type Zero Magic Crusher.

(Mikau : 2950)

"Shoot... Shoot... Shoot..." Shira mumbled, as she remembered Type Zero Magic Crusher's affect, whenever Mikau discarded a Magic card, she'd lose 500 LP, but every time he played or set a card from his hand, he'd lose 500 LP because of Chain Energy.

"And end my move." Mikau said.

I'll draw, and activate Seven Tools of the Bandit, losing 1000 LP to get arid of your Trap, but also losing 500 LP from my own magic card."

(Shira : 6500)

"Gear Fried will attack your LP once again." Shira declared.

(Mikau : 1150)

"I'll end my move by playing this card F-Down." Shira said.

"I'll draw." Mikau said. "And play this monster F-Down in Def Mode."

"Ahem, you lose 500." Shira reminded him.

"I know." Mikau told her.

(Mikau : 650)

"Now what?" Shira asked.

"Your move." Mikau told her. "I'll draw, and summon Spirit of the Harp (A : 800, D : 2000), and now, activate this card by flipping it, Princess of Tsurugi. You lose 500 for that Magic or Trap card."

(Mikau : 150)

"And I'll now activate Gift of the Mystical Elf." Shira continued, gaining 300 LP for each monster on the field.

(Shira : 7700)

"I'll attack with Gear Fried the Iron Knight." Shira said, and did so. Gear Fried destroyed Lizard Soldier (A : 1100, D : 800). "Your LP now with Princess of Tsurugi."

(Mikau : 0)

"Ha, I won!" Shira cheered, and gathered up her cards. "How come my common cards can beat your rare cards?" Shira asked, and Mikau just mumbled.

"Hmm - mm - hm." (I don't know.) "Okay, you babysit the kid, because you won." Mikau said, putting his deck away into his pocket.

The two had dueled to see who would babysit the Tradiam family's child, who was still only one years old.

The child's parents were going on a vacation for a whole month, and had asked the Akurideji family to watch over the baby while they were gone, but Gurenu, their uncle, couldn't because of work, and Dina, the mother, was too busy, Isaberu, the grandmother, would never do anything anyway, so Shira and Mikau had to decide who would do it with a duel, after all, they were going to get payed for it anyway.

"Woohoo, I babysit the rug-brat!" Shira said, cheerfully.

Mikau just stared at her. "Okay. See ya later." He called, leaving.

"I wonder if I can borrow their car?" Shira asked to herself outloud once Mikau had left.


Shira arrived at the Tradiam house, and rang the doorbell.

She shivered slightly, it was rather chilly, and she was wearing the Domino High girls' uniform.

The door opened, it was Gilugy Tradiam.

(gee-loo-guy, trade-dee-um),

He was the father of the baby she was to babysit.

"Um, hello, Mr. Tradiam, I'm going to babysit Wesuose (way-sue-oh-say), remember?" Shira said.

"Okay. You can start tomorrow, because that's when we go." Gilugy said.

"Well, okay, what time?" Shira asked.

"Be here by 9:00 in the morning, we leave by 8:00 in the morning." Gilugy said.

"Uhhh, okay." Shira replied, thinking how strange they were.

Jumafa (jew-mah-fah) Tradiam, Gilugy's wife, joined him at the door.

"Is this the babysitter, dear?" She asked.

"Yeah." He answered.

"Isn't she precious?" Jumafa asked, pinching Shira's rosy cheeks hard, and didn't let go until Shira asked: "Please. Let. Go. Of. Me."

"Oops, sorry." Jumafa let go, and stood back up next to her husband, giggling.

"Ow..." Shira winced, rubbing her bruised cheek.

"You staying for dinner?" Gilugy asked.

"Well..." Shira thought about it, she'd rather warm up right now, instead of head home.

"I'll call my mom." She said, grabbing her cell phone out of her backpack.

"Give her my regards!" Jumafa told her cheerfully.

"We have a phone inside." Gilugy told the teen.

"Oh, thanks, I'll use my cell phone, but may I stand inside?" Shira asked, and they said yes.


At the Jinsenu (jin-say-new) / Akurideji (ah-koo-ree-day-gee) home...

"Hello?" Mikau asked in a slow, muffled tone, picking up the phone.

"Ehh, who's that!" His sister's voice cried.

"Me, Mikau." He answered.

"Okay, tell Mom I'll be staying at the Tradiams' house for dinner tonight, okay?" Shira told him.

"MOM! SHIRA'S STAYING AT THE TRADIAMS' HOUSE FOR DINNER!" Mikau yelled to his mother, still holding the phone, and giving Shira's ears an ache.

"Okay! But tell her to be back by 9:00PM!" Dina called back.

She was sitting on her couch, reading a ghost book, the lamp's, on the table next to the couch, light was giving her brown hair reddish highlighting.

"MOM SAYS YOU HAVE TO BE BACK BEFORE 9:00PM!" Mikau yelled into the phone.

"Oww..." Shira mumbled, holding her free hand up to her ear.

"Oops, sorry." Mikau said, more softly now.

"You're really picking on me since you lost that duel, aren't you!" Shira snapped.

"Uh huh." Mikau answered.

"Well, now, my ears hurt." Shira said to him.

"Okay. Byyyyyeeeee." Mikau hung up on her.

"Mikau, who was that on the phone?" Gurenu asked, coming into the room.

"It was Shira." Mikau answered.

"Why was she calling?" Gurenu asked.

"She's staying at the Tradiam house for dinner." Mikau said.

"Oh no. Last time she stayed out, she got beaten brutely by two girls from that wretched school." Gurenu said. He always worried about it happening again.

"I'm going to go get her." Gurenu said.

"Gurenu, why must you? She's just staying over at Jumafa's and her husband's house, she'll be alright." Dina told him, surprising him, as she was usually the one always worrying, while he'd reassure.

"I'll pick her up then." Gurenu sighed, and sat down in a chair next to his nephew, Danny, who was listening to his CD player.

"At 9:00." Dina told him, and continued her reading.


9:00PM, Tradiam House...

"Okay, gotta head home. Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Tradiam!" Shira called as she ran out of the front door.

Outside, now it was raining pretty hard now, and Gurenu was standing out in front of the house.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked his niece. "Uh, home." She answered.

"Well, I'm bringing you home." Gurenu told her.

"Okay. Let's go Uncle Gurenu." She said, running down the steps and joining him under his blue umbrella. Then, they walked home.
