Joey: Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

Yugi: Joey, why are you singing the Attack On Titan opening song? This is a YGO fanfic not an Attack On Titan fanfic, remember?

Joey: Of course I remember that, that only happened one time! And also I'm singing it because I'm gonna be watching the final episode of season 1 in this chapter!

Yugi: That would explain the title….

AnimeGirlAnn: I don't own Yugioh or Attack on Titan, neither do I any other series or brands you may notice in this fanfiction. Though it would be SO awesome if I did.

CHAPTER 2

Attack On Joey!

YUGI'S POV

I was definitely late getting home, I knew the moment I saw the closed sign on the Kame Game Shop doors. Taped near it was a folded paper with my name written on it. Taking it down I skimmed through it.

Sorry I couldn't be there when you got home, Yugi. The grocery store is closing early today so I had to get there fast to get groceries. Don't worry about being late, I don't mind, just try to get home sooner next time. I'll be home around 6:30, watch the store till then.

-Grandpa

P.S, I left some leftover rice and chicken out on the counter for dinner.

"Well, at least I'm not in trouble for being late," I said to myself, stuffing the note into my pocket. In my arms Kuriboh said 'Kuri,' as if asking 'where are we, why are we here?' That or maybe Kuriboh just wanted to say Kuri for whatever reason. I don't speak fuzzball. "This is my home," I explained to Kuriboh, entering the Kame Game Shop. "It's also my family's game shop through, our real house is in back." While I said this I went to the back of the small store and entered the door to where I actually lived. In the kitchen I saw a plate of rice with cooked chicken on top covered in plastic wrap on the counter. Probably the leftovers Grandpa told me about in his note. "Kuri…" Kuriboh sighed, staring at the food hungrily.

"I guess you're hungry right?"

"Kuri! Kuri!"

"I'll take that as a yes," I said, taking off the plastic wrap and grabbing a fork. Before I could even say 'Dig In!' Kuriboh gulped down half of the plates rice with a single bite. Within a minute the entire plate of rice had been consumed by the fuzzball.

"BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP! Kuri."

"Wow….. You must have really been hungry… I'm surprised you left the chicken," I muttered, taking a bit of the chicken.

Kuriboh gave out a little giggle sound and scratched his, maybe her, head. Now that I think about it, is Kuriboh a boy or a girl? Usually when I get a pet or bring an animal home I'd just check by looking but… it seemed weirder to do it to Kuriboh. Besides, I think there's too much fur on his body to even look. "Hey, Kuriboh, not trying to be rude or anything… but… umm…. what's your gender….?" I awkwardly questioned. "Kuri?" Kuriboh replied, raising an eyebrow. "You know, are you a boy or a girl?" I repeated.

"Kuri?"

"You know what? Never mind, just forget I said it…."

The rest of the evening was spent with me and Kuriboh small chatting (well, it was more like a one sided conversation since the only thing Kuriboh can say is Kuri). Until Kuriboh let out a small yawn and leaned down on the counter. "Already sleepy, huh little guy?" I said, petting Kuriboh, it let out a soft sigh. "Come on, let's get you to my room." Picking the sleepy Kuriboh up, I headed towards my room. Kuriboh raised an eyelid sleepily to look around, when suddenly something in my room caught his eyes. "KURI!" Kuriboh gasped, squirming in my arms while frantically pointing towards my desk.

"What is it, Kuriboh!?"

"KURI!"

With a final kick to my chest, Kuriboh managed to jump out of my arms and onto my desk. He grabbed onto a small card on it and waved it around frantically. "NO KURIBOH! BE CAREFUL WITH THAT!" I shouted, yanking the card out of Kuriboh's claws and holding it close to my chest. "It's really important to me…." "Kuri…?" Kuriboh said, seeming to look rather guilty. "You see, this card is all I have left of my mother, I never really knew her, she disappeared when I was only three years old… I've always kinda wished I could know her one day… Though the odds are against me..." I explained, looking down at the card. It had a picture of a smiling blond girl with only her upper half showing. She was wearing a blue and pink magician hat and a matching dress with hanging sleeves. In the background was what looked like a ritual circle, probably meant to look magical. Above the picture were six stars and the words 'Dark Magician Girl.' I honestly had no idea what the card was for. I've always guessed it was a part of an old card game invented and ended long before I knew what a card was. Despite not knowing what it was or having any use for it, it was my most treasured item.

Kuriboh whimpered and rubbed my arm as if apologizing. "Don't worry about it Kuriboh, I'm not mad at you, just be careful around it okay?" I assured Kuriboh, putting my card into my jacket pocket. Kuriboh seemed to relax after hearing this and then jumped from my desk to the bed, now lying down on it peacefully. A moment later Kuriboh's eyes were closed and I could hear it's soft snores.

I guess being chased around by monsters really tires a person or Kuriboh out. The small Kuriboh looked really cute sleeping, it reminded me of a puppy. Taking a seat next to Kuriboh I started to gently pet him. I really do doubt Kuriboh's anything but harmless, even his claws don't look all that scary! It actually made me kind of sleepy to watch Kuriboh so peaceful like this. I think I'll just let my eyes close for a few minutes…..

….

"Kuri!"

"Huh?"

Reluctantly, I forced my heavy eyelids open to see two purple irises in yellow eyes. Impulsively I bolted up from bed to get some distance between me and the creature in my bed. I was in the middle of contemplating screaming for the police before I remembered what happened last night. I must've fallen asleep petting Kuriboh."Good morning, Kuriboh." I greeted, smiling at the fuzzball. "Kuri!" Kuriboh greeted back, holding up my phone in front of my face. "My phone? Where'd you even get my phone?" I wondered taking the phone when I noticed the words 'New Messages' and 'Missed Call' on the front. "Huh, looks like I missed a call…" I grumbled, pressing the enter button. I found out I had slept in till four thirty (I slept in for that long!? Seriously!?), missed a call from Joey, and also got some texts from her too.

NEW TEXTS-

Joey: Hey Yugi! Pick up your phone!

Joey: OK, I see you're busy, just trying to remind u about the AOT season finale on tonight we're watching it together remember? See ya at 6:30.

Oh, yeah I had planned to watch the season finale of Attack On Titan (Joey's favorite anime) tonight with Joey at my house. Joey's been talking about it for weeks. I'd even been planning on getting some of her favorite snacks to have when we get there. "THE SNACKS!" I remembered, jumping from my bed, causing Kuriboh to fly off too. "I need to go get the snacks now if I want to get back in time for the season finale!"

"Kuri!?"

"Oh, sorry, Kuriboh, it's just that my friend Joey is coming over and I was planning on buying some snacks before I came, but I slept in and now I've gotta go run to make sure I can get the snacks before Joey get's here!" I told Kuriboh, grabbing some money off y desk. "Kuri!" Kuriboh cried out, jumping to hang onto my arm.

"Huh? You want to come with me, Kuriboh?"

"Kuri!"

"Well, I don't see why not, but you'll have to stay inside a bag so no one will see you," I warned Kuriboh, picking up my backpack. Without heistantant, Kuriboh jumped inside the backpack.

"Well if you're fine with it, Let's go!"

JOEY'S POV

SOMEWHERE IN DOMINO PARK

It was pretty peaceful right now at the park. Not a single person was in sight except a few birds eating leftover crumbs off the ground. Above me was a sunset of gold and orange. If it was any other day I would've been fine to just sit there on a bench and watch the sun set. Though this wasn't any other day. Today the finale of Attack on Titan was finally airing on TV, and there was no way in hell or heaven I was gonna miss it. I had to get to Yugi's quick to see it, I'd watch it at my house but my dead beat dad was always hogging it. I'd confront him about it but I'd prefer not to have a beer bottle tossed at my head. While I was mind complaining about my dad, I saw one of the clocks they put up on outside of the bathroom stalls.

"Shit! It's already 5:40!" I groaned, remembering the show I was planning to watch with Yugi would start at 6:00. I was still at the park, far from Yugi's house. Even if I kept going I would've missed the beginning of the episode! "Maybe if I sprint the rest of the way I'll make it?" I thought to myself. Deciding that was the best way to get their on time, I started running. I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna-OW!

My head collided head first with an oak tree, knocking me down to the grass ground. Damn tree….

"Heehee! Not here either! NOT HERE EITHER!"

What the heck? The voice came from behind the tree and for some reason, made the hairs on my neck stand up. Taking a peek behind the tree, I realized my caution was completely justified. Behind me was what looked like an mentally retarded rabbit from a cartoon show no one likes and a blue human body without a head and a giant eye on it's chest. "What the…?" I muttered to myself. "KURIBOH ISN'T HERE! KURIBOH'S NOT ANYWHERE! AHAHAHAHAH!" the demented rabbit shrieked insanely, while stomping angrily. The blue one grunted annoyedly next to it. "PEGASUS IS GONNA BE MAD! PEGASUS MAD! PEGASUS MAD! NEED TO DO SOMETHING!" the rabbit rambled on. "CAN'T BRING BACK NOTHING! NOThING AT ALL! AHAHAAHAH!" What the hell are they even talking about? What's a kuriboh and who's Pegasus? Trying to get a better view, I didn't notice the stick near me till I accidentally broke it.

"SNAP!"

"Heehee, somebody's here!"

The rabbit looked straight at me, bending it's neck past it's shoulders in a way NO ONE should be able too except owls. "Ya know, Hiro's Shadow Scout," the rabbit began, grinning at me, suddenly I felt very cold. "We might not bring back a Kuriboh… But Pegasus might like a human slave, Heehee~Heehee….." If the blue creature had a mouth, I'm sure it would have grinned. That thought alone was enough to get my legs to start sprinting in the opposite way of them.

"HAHAHA! PREY WANTS TO ESCAPE! PREY CAN'T ESCAPE!"

I could hear the rabbits laughter and sound of the blue creature's footsteps getting closer despite how fast I ran.

There was no way I was going to be able to outrun these things (damn it, why do monsters have to be so fast!?). If I didn't want to become Pegasus's human slave, I was gonna have to fight. With this thought in mind, I grabbed a nearby stick, turned around and started charging.

My stick hit the rabbit square in the face. Though like an actual cartoon, the stick sunk into the the rabbit's face like rubber. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like it hurt it at all. In fact, less than a second later it grinned before chuckling, "Teehee! Can't beat us! Can't beat us…"

The only thing I thought for the next few minutes were 'Dammit!' and 'OW!'

YUGI'S POV

"I'm gonna be late!" I realized, noticing the sun setting above me as I ran. "Joey's going to be pissed if I'm late to get to my own house!" Despite running as fast as I could, I still wasn't going as fast as I was honestly hoping. Mostly due to the extra weight from the backpack I was carrying, which was stuffed with chips, enough junk food to make a nutritionist faint, and a fuzzball named Kuriboh. "Kuuuuurrrriiii." Kuriboh moaned, sick of being in the backpack. "I'm sorry Kuriboh but it's not a good idea to risk people seeing you, I doubt it'll attract any good attention," I apologized. "Kuri," Kuriboh pouted, though stayed silent after that.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU DEMENTED RABBIT! NO DAMMIT! STAY AWAY FROM ME HEADLESS FREAK! TWO AGAINST ONE ISN'T FAIR!"

"That sounds like Joey!" I noticed, stopping in my tracks. "NOOOO!" the voice that sounded like Joey's screeched again, this time I figured out it was coming from behind an oak tree. "JOEY!" I panicked, forgetting everything else as I ran towards the oak tree. Behind the tree I saw the same two monsters that were chasing Kuriboh from yesterday hanging over my friend. The headless blue ones foot was crushing down on Joey's chest forcing her to stay on the ground. Next to him the cartoon rabbit pointed an equally unrealistic looking sword at Joey's neck. Both of them were staring at me. Near me I could hear Kuriboh struggling to get out of my backpack crying out panicked 'kuri's.' "Hahahah! Another human, TWO human slaves now! HAAHAHA! Pegasus will love this present!" the cartoon bunny cackled. "KURI!" Kuriboh boomed from within my backpack before finally wrestling it's way out of my backpack. "Ooooooooooooooooooh! Human slaves AND Kuriboh! Good! GOOD! Pegasus WILL love this!"

"L-Let go of my friend!" I warned, sounding far more terrified than I would have liked. "Awww! Little girl wanna be a hero!?" the cartoon rabbit giggled. "Heehee! Little girl too little to do ANYTHING at all!" "I'm NOT little!" I argued.

"Heehee, I'll take you out in a single blow!"

Removing it's sword from Joey's neck (Phew) the rabbit pointing it straight it at me before charging at me head on (Oh come on!)

Usually me and Joey are in switched positions in these situations. She's the one who's fighting to rescue me from the bullies. Despite me being so weak and unable to protect myself, Joey always came through for me… She never backed down… She never lost because she wouldn't let her friend get hurt… She wouldn't let me get hurt… But now that I'm the one that needs to save her all I can do is stay still and tremble as I watch a cartoon kill me… This is how I'm going to die isn't it? A weakening who wasn't able to help her friend at all….

N-No… I don't want to be weak anymore, I'm not weak! I can't let them hurt Joey or Kuriboh or even me! I refuse to be useless anymore! I'm NOT going to die by the hands of a cartoon rabbit! I AM NOT BEING WEAK ANYMORE!

But even if I try… How can I…?!

"What is the purpose for all the sacrifice?"

Unexpectedly, my legs started to move on their own accord. First taking a step toward the rabbit before rushing straight at him. Whether it was some sort of impulsive survival instinct or me just being suicidal, I didn't know, I didn't care.

"For every person it is different…. For few it is for peace… For most it is for greed….. What is yours?"

The demented rabbit faltered a moment, not expecting me to run towards it. But then started to run at me faster. A strike of fear went through me, when suddenly I felt an odd feeling of warmth and power radiating from my pocket.

"I want to protect my friends! I don't want to be so weak I can't do anything when my friends need help anymore!" I answered, turning to face the man in my dream straight in the eye. As a black figure continued destroying an Egyptian castle in the distance.

Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out the card left behind from my mother. When my fingers touched it's shiny surface it felt as if I had been touched lightning and energy was running through me. It felt so new and so right at the same time, as if it was something natural…

The nameless man smiled, "Are you willing to sacrifice your life before, for a new one, to do just that?" "Yes." I responded instantly. "Then go do it…"

Word I never heard of recited themselves inside my head. Spinning, swirling, waiting impatiently to get out of my head. Not sure what I was doing, held the card to my chest and yelled them out…

"Say the words that will give you your wish… And become the next savior of the world…. Hikari Yugi..."

"Hikari Polymerization! Dark Magician Girl Yugi Fusion!"

AnimeGirlAnn: CLIFFHANGER! Oh well, you'll see what happens next chapter.
