Here's chapter 2 ! Tell me what you think and if you have any questions that won't spoil the story I'll be happy to answer them! Oh and I'm skipping the duel between Joey and Mai.
Chapter 2: Hit on by a fish…just perfect.
Joey continued to stare at his dueling glove for more than 15minutes. He had just beat Mai Valentine. (Who would have thought huh?) Tea, Katie, Tristan and Yugi stood in front of him smiling.
"TWO STARS! WOOHOO!" Joey cheered. Now he was giggling like he was on drugs. It was actually quite amusing.
"I can't believe it happened! Am I cool or what?" Joey said and then went into another fit of giggles.
"Is there a time limit on how long he gets to crow?" Tea asked.
"Cut him some slack Tea. Did you actually think Joey would beat Mai in a duel? I mean Joey! Who would have thought?" Tristan asked. Katie watched Yugi turn to Joey.
"I knew he would do it! I am really proud of you." Yugi said.
"Wait why didn't you guys think he could win? He got invited here so he must be a pretty good duelist right?" Katie asked. The gang sweat dropped. Joey scratched the back of his head.
"Well…!" They all said. Katie looked at them confused.
"Well you see, Yugi got invited to come but we didn't. So Tea and I snuck on the ship while Yugi was nice enough to give Joey one of his stars so Joey could duel." Tristan explained. Katie's expression changed from confused to happy and caring.
"Oh my gosh that's so sweet of you guys!" Katie said with a sweet smile. Joey, Tristan, and Yugi started to blush. Tea got slightly jealous that all the boys' attention was on a different girl. Katie noticed that and so did Aria. She appeared next to Katie with a snicker.
"Some one's got the case of the green eyed monster." Aria said with a laugh.
"Can it Aria!" Katie thought to the spirit. Aria just snickered and went back into the Millennium Bracelet.
"And I bet that Tea came along to keep you monkeys in line because without a girl to keep things organized who knows what you three would do! Nice job Tea!" Katie said with thumbs up. What she said caught Tea of guard but Tea smiled any way. A weird grumbling sound caught every ones attention and turned to Joey. Turns out the human garbage disposal was hungry. (Go figures right).
"Did anyone have some food because I'm starving?" Joey said while rubbing his stomach. Everyone shook their heads. He then sighed and started to pout. Then the scent of something cooking caught his blood hound nose. He shot up like a dog and started scurrying away towards the food.
"He's hallucinating!" Tea said. Katie smiled and ran after Joey. She remembered her gymnastic years because as she ran she did a round off back hand spring then continued to run. Yugi blushed as he watched because when she into the back hand part of her shirt came up to reveal a small part of her stomach. He decided to try and forget it but that was all he was thinking about as he ran after Joey and Katie. They came to a cliff edge and saw what had caught Joey's nose. Over a fire sat six, good sized fish. The gang hid behind a rock so no one could see him.
"Man oh man I just love barbeque fish." Joey said. He and Tristan were drooling and rubbing their hands together manically. Joey could sit there any longer so he hopped over the rock.
"What makes you think those fish are yours?" Tea and Katie asked. Joey ignored them and kept walking.
"Joey?" Katie said in disbelief. Tristan crossed his arms over his chest as he talked.
"Some people just don't have any self-control… Joey save some for me!" Tristan said and ran after Joey. Katie had a sweat drop on her head.
"Um are they always like that?" She asked. Yugi and Tea nodded and sighed. They hopped the rock and walked over to the rock too the disposals.
"Man this looks awesome!" Joey said with a smile. Tristan tried to touch his but burned himself.
"Hot! Hot!" He said and pulled back his finger.
"Of course it's hot! It just came off of the fire dork!" Katie said sarcastically. Tea and Yugi just laughed. Katie looked out to the ocean and saw a hand grab the edge and hoist itself up. A nice, tanned skin teenager stood up. He was wet and had no shirt on which showed his muscles. It was pretty obvious that he worked out. Katie couldn't help but swoon over him. Tea looked over to where Katie was looking and started to swoon too. Aria appeared next to Katie and frowned in discuss.
"Katie you're drooling and I think that's kind of mean to poor Yugi" Aria said. She crossed her arms over her chest. Katie just sighed.
"Ok were switching! I can't stand see you drool over a tool like him when you got a cutie right next to you!" Aria said with a huff. There was only one person Aria had her eyes set on and no one else would take that spot. Katie rolled her eyes and changed places with Aria. A bright glow came from her bracelet and everyone looked at her.
"What was that bright light?" Tea asked.
Aria's POV
Damn it how am I supposed to explain this?
"Smooth move!" Katie said in the back of my mind.
Hey I would have never had to do that if you hadn't been drooling over a fish dude.
"Hey don't take it out on me because you're hung up on some dude that you knew 5000 years ago, who can't remember you." She replied.
Hey, at least I wasn't drooling over some guy while the guy I'm hung up on is right next to me and especially when he's as cute as Yugi. She didn't reply. That seemed to shut her up. I snickered. Now to answer their question.
"Oh that was just the reflection of the sun off my bracelet." I said. They seemed to take that answer and went back to what they were doing. I let the breath that I had been holding for quite a while. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Yami. The expression on his face told me he saw through my lie. I could tell he knew I was a spirit, he just didn't know how my bracelet was a Millennium item. I just smiled innocently at him. He crossed his arms across his chest and shook his not excepting my smile. I rolled my eyes and turned towards the guy that started this in the beginning.
"Enjoy your selves, you fish thieves because this is your last meal." The creepy fish dude said. He then looked at me and kept staring at me. He wasn't looking at me like I was candy but he was observing me. Running his eyes up and down my body. I glared at him. When he started to speak every one turned towards him with confused looks on their face other than me. I crossed my arms over my chest and shot daggers at the boy.
"How dare you eat my fish, you thieving poachers? Has no one taught you manners?" He asked angrily. He had a harpoon in one hand with a fish caught on it. I wave rose above the cliff and engulfed him. I bit my lip to hold back a snicker that threatened to escape. Every one still had confused looks on their faces and Joey had to start talking.
"So can we eat now?" He asked both me and Tea face plumbed at his question. Only Joey would ask something like that. We watched a hand slowly come from the edge of the cliff. He rose from the edge with an annoyed expression plastered onto his face.
"Ok let's try this one more time." He said
"I knew this was a bad idea." Tea said.
"I'm with you there Tea!" Aria said. We both looked at the dorks we were sitting with. What could we do? These dorks are our friends and nothing would change that. He walked over to us with a scowl.
"How dare you steal my fish?" He said. He looked at me as I spoke.
"Um didn't you just say that like not 5 minutes ago?" I asked sarcastically. He eyes widen and he walked towards me.
"Well hello my dear, and who might you be?" He asked and took my hand. He gently kissed the back of my hand, his eyes never left mine and deep down I wanted to hurl. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the Pharaoh glaring at man who was holding my hand.
"Ar-Katie!" I said emotionless. I could tell anger was radiating of Pharaoh in waves. That made me think of another time in ancient Egypt.
Flashback
The garden was quite beautiful and blooming nicely. For a week a nobleman and his family had been staying at the palace and I happened to be fond of his son. He was a nice boy and was fun to talk to. The boy was very interested in what I was talking about as we walked side by side in the garden. I could tell he was just trying to get to know me so he could pursue me. It wasn't that I wasn't flattered by that, I just I wasn't interested and he didn't seem to get that but I just decided to leave it alone. Little did I know I had an admirer looking at me from a behind a pillar. The teenage boy I was walking with had just asked me a question about my sisters and I was about to answer when my name was being called.
"Aria, I need to talk to you!" Mana had called from the palace. I smiled and nodded. I turned to the nobleman's son and sent my apologies. He nodded like a gentlemen and took my hand. He lightly kissed my knuckles. He let go and I walked up to the entrance were Mana once was. I walked up the stairs and walked past one of the columns that held up the palace. As I walked my left hand was grabbed. I stumble back and was pulled towards the owner of the hand. I was pinned up against the pillar and two arms wrapped around my waist. Before I could do anything a pair of lips captured my lips in a kiss. It wasn't an angry kiss but it had a possessive nature. I closed my eyes and found my arms locked around the person's neck. After a minute I broke the kiss to catch a breath. I didn't open my eyes. The person I had just kissed rested his forehead against mine.
"Thank you Mana!" The person said.
"Good luck you too!" She said and scurried away. I smirked and open my eyes.
"A little possessive, are we prince?" I said slyly. He smirked and chuckled. His face then turned serious.
"I don't like him around you." He stated. I smiled.
"Are we jealous?" I asked. He playfully glared.
"Who knows, if I don't make my territory he could come and take you from under my nose." He said jokingly. I pretended to be offended.
"What makes you think I'm anyone's territory?" I asked with fake anger. He obviously didn't get my joke because he got worried.
"Aria I didn't mean it like that I…!" He tried to defend when I cut him off. To shut him up I brought our lips together once more in a sweet kiss. I parted and looked into his eyes.
"I was joking." I said with a laugh. His face softened.
"Oh and don't worry about him, I'm not in the least bit interested." I said with a smile before kissing him one last time. I tried to savor this kiss before getting him to let go of me but that didn't seem to work for either of us.
End of Flashback
I was lost in a daze at my day dream. I gently placed my fingers to my lips as if feeling his lips there. I was snapped out of my daze when Joey and Tristan snapped their fingers in my face.
"Huh!" I asked finally coming out of my pleasant day dream.
"Katie you okay? You have been spacing for the last hour and your missin Yugi's duel." Joey told me.
"What Yugi's dueling?" I asked. My question was answer when I caught the gaze Yami was sending me. He smiled and his eyes told me I he was relieved that I was okay. I smiled shyly and blushed. Who would have thought I would have spaced that long. Mana had always told me I did that a lot I just never noticed I guess. I stood up and walked over to stand next Tea. I started to watch the duel which was coming to end.
"And now I will deliver the final blow. I combine my Curse of Dragons with the magic of the Burning Land card to wipe out your remaining life points!" Yami said. He smirked and summoned the Curse of Dragons. The hologram of a golden dragon appeared on the field.
"Burning land attack." He called. The dragon breathed fire on to the land burning all of Mako's monsters.
"That drops your life points down to zero." Yami said. Fish boy started to pout as his life points vanished.
"Wait to go Yugi!" Tea and I cheered. We were jumping up and down in a hug. Yami looked over to us and smiled sheepishly with a blush. While me and Tea were cheering Mako gave Yami some congratulations. Yami gracefully accepted and they became quick friends.
"I am down to 1 star chip and I'll start over!" Mako said to Yami.
"And I bet you will do just fine Mako." Yami said confidently. I smiled from behind Yami. He really was a gentleman even if he is a little jealous at times. They shook hands and Mako said something about fishing or something. He jumped over the cliff and back into the water. I shook my head at how weird this guy was and walked on my merry way. I could hear Joey say something about eating pages to Tristan. I giggled and shook my head. Of all the people I could have made friends with they had to be goof balls. Somehow Joey and Tristan got ahead of me with Tea next to them. I looked over to see Yami walking slower than the group so I stopped until he caught up. Yami hadn't changed with Yugi yet so it was my time to tease him while I had the chance.
"So Yami, I couldn't help but see you get jealous when fish boy kissed my hand." I said slyly. His eyes widened and he blushed.
"I'm not jealous!" He said defensively. I smirked.
"Dude you suck at lying!" I said with a giggle. He turned even brighter.
"I thought it was really sweet you know." I said sweetly. He smiled and looked down at the ground as we continued to walk. When the gang wasn't looking I lightly kissed his cheek. He stopped right where he was standing. He looked at me shocked and I smiled. I then ran forward and did a cartwheel. My dismount caused me to jump and land on Joey's back. We laughed and he gave me a piggy back ride while Yami watched us go. I looked behind me and gestured my head for him to follow. He continued to walk but kept his hand to his cheek, never letting his hand fall.
