Yugi:well that took a while

Yami:what did you expect with a lazy writer?

Yugi:...*sighs*

Atem:hmmm...you two are getting along...well

Yugi:actually I'm still ticked

Yami:*gulps*...nyeh...

(3,000 years)

"H-hey, Joey! Let go" Yugi struggled in Joey's head-lock, "But you're so cute Yug' look at ya!" The blond only tightened his grip on the King of Games, "You're trying to kill me!" Joey let go and Yugi went sprawling to the ground with an 'ack'.

Yugi and are headed to the duel monsters tournament to prove once again who's the King of Games. Joey has been there for Yugi through thick and thin, he always had a protective feeling over the little guy.

Yugi always gets into some kind of trouble; either it's Kaiba, the CEO of Kaiba-Corp, or just a couple of punks who think they can steal his deck. The weird thing is Yugi's always safe even without Joey's help, things happen almost by accident.

A car may pass by if he's being chased along the street or if a guy with a gun shows up asking for money there would be a metal tray or trash can lid that he could use to block the shot that was just lying discarded on the ground. They say it's just luck but Yugi thinks it has a bigger meaning.

They enter the arena where a duel is already taking place. "Hey Yug' I'll be right back kya? Try notta' find trouble this time," Joey called as he headed for the food court. "Same ol' Joey," Yugi thought with a chuckle as he headed for the V.I.P entrance, so not to be trampled by fan girls and boys.

The tri-colored hair boy sighed while thinking why he felt today was going to be different. As he walked past the gate he looked at the big screen that showed the results of what's being played. "So it's Kaiba and…" Yugi trailed of, eyes going wide at the digital picture of the opponent.

Under the picture the name said, "Yugi…that has to be a fake! I'm the real Yugi, how can they not tell the difference." The boy exclaimed to no one in particular earning some looks and strange glances from him to the display board.

People started to mummer about things like "Wait isn't he dueling?" "I thought so…" "Who's the imposter? Which one! Which one?" Much to the teen's annoyance the talk started to travel where he went. "Great another big hit story the reporters will just eat up" The teen continued on trying to ignore the stares that bore into his back making him feel uncomfortable.

The young Game King walked up to the platform; the crowd hushed their cheers. "Hey! You," Yugi yelled to the imposter. That person, along with Kaiba turned.

The guy smiled then smirked at the little one below. Kaiba sneered as he ordered his guards to bring the real Yugi up into the platform. "What's going on?" "There's two Yugis!" "No way; who's the fake?" The crowd got restless.

Yugi was thrown next to the upright look-a-like. "Who do you think you are…?" Yugi asked facing the other teen. "Alright! Who is my real rival no more playing!" Kaiba questioned the two with a glare.

Yugi looked at him with disbelief. "How can you NOT tell the difference!" Yugi barely shouted. "What's your problem," A familiar yet unfamiliar baritone voice stated.

Both duelists looked at the other.

Yugi stood in front of the imposter, "What's your name?" he said ignoring the question as he tried to sound threatening.

The slightly taller teen smirked, "My name is-"Suddenly the unnamed one bent down and captured the Game king's lips. The crowd gasped while Kaiba looked shocked. Everyone knew that Yugi was bi but they never seen evidence.

Yugi's eyes widened for a millisecond before he remained still, emotionless, allowing the person to do as he will. The boy stood back and whispered seductively in Yugi's ear, "-is Yami Sennen, my koi."

After Yami said koi a shock went through the famous tri-colored haired teen's body and paralyzed him. "I can't move what did he do," Yugi thought as he tried to move.

Yami walked behind the paralyzed King of Games and wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist. Kaiba and the crowd waited in murmured whispers about what would happen next.

Nobody noticed Yugi was frozen and Kaiba getting pissed. "I'll take you back, away from here, to whom and what you used to be," Yami finally spoke. "That's it get away from him!" Kaiba ran past Yami as he grabbed Yugi whose body went limp.

Yami's crimson eyes flare at the way the CEO was holding, bridal style. The crowd gasped in anticipation, to them it look like: The brave Seto Kaiba saving Yugi Mutou from a strange man named Yami Sennen. "Who do you think you are messing with MY grey angel!" shrieked Yami.

Kaiba snickered at the remark, just as he was about to respond a 'bang' was heard and all heads turned to the door. "YUG'!" shouted none other than the blond, Joey Wheeler. The honey-eyed dueler scrambled up the steps and across the field to reach his buddy.

He faced Yami and growled, "What did ya do ta' my pal ya jerk!" Yami sneered in amusement and pointed a finger at Yugi, "He is mine. You may not remember but he's my lover, and I'll take him back" The audience gasped and mingled.

Kaiba shifted Yugi over his shoulder and patted his back for reassurance. Yugi even by a bit struggled to move, "I hate this I can't do anything!" Yugi thought.

"Well you won't have him if I have something to say about it." Kaiba shouted as he reached for his secret weapon, "Take this!" The brunette jump in the air over Yami's head and threw a blur of faint blue. Yami's eyes widened and threw him-self to the side. "So you're one too" Yami vociferated back and dodged the other's objects. Joey gapped at Kaiba, "What…the…feathers?" Joey exclaimed, staring at the hardened blue shining feathers sticking up from the ground, "What the heck's goin' on!"

Yami grabbed the packet of feathers from his deck box, "You're not the only one," the teen smirked and scattered the feathers in a perfect circle. The crimson red feathers flared to life around captured shadows.

Kaiba grunted as Yugi wiggled in his grip but successfully speared another blue feather hitting Yami in the right arm. "Arghhh," Yami shouted as a blue shine flashed, "I call forth my mage-Dark Magician!" The circle of shadows diminished to reveal a man in purple armor and held a green staff. "Now, attack my mage!" The tri-colored haired teen ordered.

Kaiba scoffed, but tightened his grip on Yugi. This wouldn't turn out well. "Black Magic," the magician's staff wavered a bit while gathering the shadows confined in a black-blue orb. It then released the black magic having it also destroy the stadium in search of its target.

"What the heck is going on here," Yugi suddenly shouted, startling the CEO making him drop his load. "Yugi!" Was a narrowed sounded yell as the Game King passed out.

Kaiba darted for Yugi, his blue wings paced furiously, "No, this is just like before!" he muttered, letting a warm tear escape.

Yami shouted at his magician to save the boy, but it was as if time was running slow.

A whipping wind replaced the moment as gray feathers flashed in everyone's visions then…

nothing.
