Chapter Two – Unfriendly For a Reason

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, and then I got out of bed and dressed.

My eyes then wandered to a table in my new room and on it lay a notepad. It was a simple one and the cover and back was covered in a golden colour though I knew it was not real gold, it had hieroglyphs covered all over it and the amazing thing was that I could read it. It was three words, written over and over again. 'Light and Dark'.

I smiled at it and then opened the book to see a piece of paper with writing on, it read:

Hello Femi,

I honestly would love to see you soon, but as you know I am one of brother Malik's rare hunters, but while I was out yesterday I quickly got this journal for you, I hope you like it and you can use it for writing and doodling. I may see you soon in the finals along with Ishizu. I wish I could see your face dearest sister, I love you.

~Odion

I then hugged the letter and tucked it back into the journal he got me.

Ishizu entered my room by then and she smiled at me when she gave me some breakfast.

I thanked her and began eating the breakfast. Suddenly I felt like writing in my new journal, so I did.

Dear Journal,

I just woke up and am eating my breakfast at the moment. My older brother Odion got me this journal and it's ever so pretty. I really wish I could see him too! I also really want to see Malik too, but at the moment he sounds really evil, but I know he isn't evil at all, he's just confused because no one has told him the truth, but I doubt he would even want to know that truth...

~Femi

I closed the book and then made my way down the stairs to see Ishizu getting ready to carry on what she was doing yesterday, dueling.

So as I guessed, we went to her car and into the city. I would observe the street names and places and then when we arrived there we got out of the car.

"Femi, would you like to walk around the city for a little bit? And then you can meet up with me again here?" Ishizu all of a surprising sudden asked me.

"Uh okay," I nodded and then she left so I started wandering around.

"Hey! You're da girl dat helped me yesterday!" I turned around to see Joey, Tea and Tristan.

"Oh yeah, you look a lot better now," I said acting relieved.

"I never got ya name though, I'm Joey Wheeler!" He introduced himself.

"It's nice to meet you Joey, I'm Femi." I told him and then I looked at Tea and Tristan.

"I'm Tristan Taylor, nice to meet you Femi," I smiled warmly at Tristan.

"Hiya Femi, I'm Tea Gardner, would you like to hang out with us today?" She asked me.

"Okay, thank you. I've just recently moved here and I guess I need some friends," I admitted to them.

"Cool! Where'd ya move from?!" Joey asked me interested.

"Well, me and my sister just moved here a week or so ago from Egypt," I explained and all of their eyes brightened up.

Then Tristan looked at his watch.

"Hey Joey, you think I could go to the hospital and see your sis?"

"wha-? NO!" Joey said but Tristan suddenly got onto his motorbike and zoomed off.

"Grrr... that is one thing I hate about Tristan, he fancies my sister Serenity and she should be coming out of the hospital soon so he can start flirting with her." Joey sighed in annoyance, then his eyes widened, "Hey, isn't dat Bakura? You won't know him Femi but he goes to our school." Joey told me and Tea. Malik was walking over to us with Ryou. We gasped, I did a fake gasp and then we ran up to the two.

"Bakura!" Joey exclaimed in worry.

"Do you know this guy because I found him unconscious over there?" Malik asked us.

"Yeah, Bakura goes to our school..." Tea said frowning.

"Tea, give me ya phone and I'll ring Yuge's gramps to help get Bakura to hospital," Joey instructed so she gave him her phone.

"Bakura, can you remember what happened?" Joey quietly asked Ryou who gained consciousness for the moment.

"It was all blurry... I can't remember what happened..." He weakly replied with a strong British accent, then he fell into a deep slumber again. Yugi's grandpa in minutes arrived in a small taxi and we got Ryou into it. We said goodbye and they drove away. I stared at my bracelet for a moment hoping it would work then I looked at Malik suspiciously. He seemed to look right into my eyes and his eyebrows narrowed for a second but then he smiled friendly.

"Hi I'm Namu, I'm sorry about your friend Bakura," He said still acting with concern for the white haired boy.

"Hopefully he'll be okay, I'm Tea Gardner by the way," Tea introduced herself.

"And Ima Joey Wheeler! I came 2nd place in Duelist Kingdom!" Joey told Malik proudly which I rolled my eyes at. Malik gave him a look of fake amazement.

"Cool, I heard of that tournament a while back ago," And then he looked at me.

"I am Femi," I disclosed the conversation between us all. Malik frowned unhappily and was going to reply to me when I looked at the big clock close by and saw that it was time for me to go meet Ishizu where she had parked earlier, "Sorry, but I've got to go meet up with my sister since she has a car and I don't yet," I waved them off and started retreating the three. I got to the car park to see Ishizu waiting silently right next to her car and we both got into the car and exited the city.

I started thinking about the look 'Namu' gave me back there, he was probably annoyed and confused of why he could not get into my mind and probably because I was the only one who did not say my surname and when he tried to look in my mind for it the bracelet Ishizu gave me prevented him from using his item. I stared down at the little gold charm bracelet and a question came to my mind so I looked at Ishizu.

"Hey onee-san, how many locator cards do you have now?" I asked her curiously.

"I won two more today so now I have 4, I'll duel again tomorrow," She said to me and I nodded smiling.

"Awesome, you're really good at dueling!" I said and she smiled with thanks, then we arrived back at her apartment place.

With Malik~

Malik sat at his throne in his hide-out thinking about the event that took place earlier.

'That Femi girl sure was strange, why could I not get into her mind? Wait. It was that weird charm bracelet! … now that's weird. First she has the same hair and eyes as me only a little bit more feminine, and then she has an Egyptian looking bracelet that can block the power of my Millennium Rod getting into her mind. Someone's not telling me something that I need to know!' He wasn't the very least happy. It aggravated him but he calmed down and then murmured under his breath, "I have a feeling I'll be seeing her during the finals though..." He didn't know why he thought that though...

Back with Femi~

I was soon lying down on my bed, thinking about my past two days here in this 2 dimensional fiction world. It was really surprising when I found out I belonged here and I was really an Ishtar.

I suddenly felt a lump in my throat and I tried to prevent tears from rolling down my face. I missed my old family, I thought they were my real family, but then I came to this dimension and now I am apparently my favourite ever character's twin sister who he thought never existed because he wasn't told. This was all too crazy, in the show nobody was ever told that Malik had a twin sister who went to another dimension.

Then I sat up and got my journal out. I started writing into it, tears still threatening to fall down my cheeks.

Dear Journal,

I really can not sleep at all tonight, I had started thinking about my old life back in the Real World. I know my life was not perfect there and I doubt many people would miss me, but I miss living with my family and living a normal life there!

This life here is all just too much, I liked Yu Gi Oh as a show but living in it, it just seems so weird, my favourite character is apparently my twin brother! It's just so unbelievable! I bet this is all just a crazy dream and that one day I'll wake up and I'll be back in my world, and none of this actually happened...

~Femi

I groaned silently and then tried rubbing it out, when that didn't work, I started doodling on the page. I drew chibi versions of me, Ishizu and Malik in Battle City.

It started looking like a mini comic book, I drew how I thought Battle City would turn out.

I soon started drawing pictures of Malik's yami, Malik who was always smirking or glaring at someone.

My eyes started drooping off so I closed the book and put it on the side table so I could then try and sleep again. This time I did succeed in sleeping.
