A/N: This is the most updating I've done in ages, I suppose it's because I have nothing better to do to keep me from it atm. Thanks for reading!

You know how people often zone out? Well I was doing that right now, actually it's a bad habit of mine. I was thinking, mainly about what was ahead, I hadn't seen the first episodes in a while, could I trust my memory in situations?

"OUCH!"

I groaned and rubbed my forehead and glared at the tree I had run into, no one really paid attention to me how ever because standing in front of us was…Weevil, one of the worst characters on the show in my opinion. I realize some people like him but he really annoys me, and he threw Exodia into the ocean! Although it is also Yugi's fault for that and I just wanted an excuse, in the end I'm not sure why I don't like him I just…don't.

Everyone took of running and I cursed, I had zoned out again, so I was left a bit behind them, when I got out Weevil and Yugi were about to verse, I watched as extra blonde appeared in Yugi's hair, his eyes become far more serious looking and a considerable amount was added to his height. I grinned, ah Yami one of my all time favorites!

"Wow he has girly legs,"

I hadn't meant to say it out loud, to be honest I only just noticed, as everyone looked at me for an explanation I started laughing,

"Just thinking out loud."

The group nodded and turned back to the match, of course Weevil brought forth a bug, why the hell does he like bugs so much? I have nothing against bugs but they don't compare to the grace of the horse, the majesty of the dragon or…okay I just don't really like bugs.

I never noticed how quiet the group was during duels, they only cheered when the poor guy was in trouble, so to cure my boredom and offer extra support I made up my own chant,

"S-E-X-Y L-E-G-S what does that spell? Sexy legs! Come on you can do it sexy legs just throw down those cards and squash those bugs!"

Okay not exactly inspiring but hey, I found it amusing. Yami ignored me and everyone else looked at me as if I was insane, I found myself quieted by their looks, embarrassed, but a goofy grin appeared on my face and I went on,

"Two, four, six, eight who do we appreciate, Yugi!"

I had to force myself not to say Yami, because he knew he wasn't Yugi, I knew he wasn;t Yugi but the others hadn't really picked up on it yet, at least I don't think they have, after Yami and my conversation he probably knew I was saying 'Yugi' on purpose as well, I hope he realizes I'm not just doing it because Yugi's my friend, I want to be friend with the Pharaoh too!

How many people can say, Oh hey I'm buddies with a Pharaoh! Not many and he seems like a cool guy who could provide food for thought also he's one of my favorite characters, which is so not why I want to meet him properly, cough.

"Oh shits going down now!"

I cried as the knight rammed his…spear…thing into the cacoon. I then stayed quiet knowing Yami needed to think at this point, I grinned when he pulled out a card and began messing with the surroundings to screw with the bug's attack and defense points. Weevil didn't see through his plan and…he laughed. Idiot, villains and rivals always seem to laugh when they win, I mean come on the hells so funny? It's not like some guy just face planted into a cream pie, it's not like Yami just randomly got a skirt and started doing the can-can! What the hell is so funny!

"Yami, did you just pull a face at him or something? Because I haven't seen anything funny,"

Yami looked at me in surprise and I clamped my hand over my mouth, luckily no one seemed to notice my slip up except for Weevil who glared at Yugi suspiciously.

"Woops, I forgot you hated that nickname, sorry Yugi!"

Weevil being the idiot I mean BRANIAC he is simply believed that excuse and went on, but Yami shot me a warning look and I gave him what I hopped was an apologetic one. He drew a card and placed it on the board and with that the weird ass caterpillar, moth thing was brought down. Just to let you know, no I don't memorize the cards, I don't play the game remember? I don't see a point I'll be amazed if I can remember half the cards in my newly assembled deck.

As Yami stepped down from the platform and said some stuff to Weevil ,of which I was too far away to hear, I skipped over and slammed into Yugi's side with a hug.

"Congratulations sexy legs you won! Aren't you just an intelligent little bugger?"

I giggled at my own pun, 'bugger' get it? Haha, shut up it's funny! Yami looked at me from the corner of his eyes and I gave him a peace sign, before the others got close enough his eyes narrowed,

"Be careful what you call me,"

I grinned,

"So sexy legs is a bad thing,"

"I don't even know how you came up with that…"

I laughed at that and told him exactly how that name made sense, I think I just made him self conscious of his legs, because he looked down at them a few times. So Here it is the fight with Mai valentine and Yugi is back out! To show him how much I love him I poked him in the forehead and cried,

"Hobbit man is back!"

Yugi gave me a confused look and I picked him up, no I did not bend down and hug him as usual, he stopped reacting to that, I picked him up and spun in circles and put him back down, now THAT got a reaction, I started laughing as he began stuttering, I grabbed his arm and dragged him the rest of the way to the others, I don't know why but all of a sudden I'm hyper and happy!

To be honest I'm a very shy person, I am very silent around new people, keep a lot of secrets from friends, nothing serious of course but if I trip and get hurt I always pretend nothing's wrong. I hug my friends but it's always brief and NEVER have I picked up a friend when hugging them. This kind of behavior actually made me scared…of me? No of how open I was being, I'm a very mistrustful person and here I am just hugging the life out of people I barely know! I quieted down after these thoughts and didn't get any other urges to hug anyone.

When the match between Joey and Mai started I didn't cheer him on and looked down frowning, of course after being around Yugi for so long he looked up and managed to catch something was up,

"Are you okay Ame-chan?"

"Huh? Oh yeah fine! Just can't come up with a chant that suits Joey you know?"

At this Yugi grinned and tried to help me come up with one, in the end it became,

"J-O-E-Y hell he got an alibi! J-O-E-Y sex on legs yeah he's our guy!"

I was surprised when Yugi actually joined in, after the third of fourth time yelling it out, in turn Tea laughed and joined in and so did Tristan, Joey was laughing as he dueled. I then sensed the moment he'd see through Mai's plan so I hushed everyone, they looked at me curiously and noticing I was staring at Joey they did too, he sniffed and caught sent of the perfume, I grinned as he called Mai out.

"Oh I get what you're doing now!"

I pumped my fist in the air and started chanting again after Joey explained what she was doing as anime characters do, everyone jogged over to him and began clapping him on the back and congratulating him, I smiled and looked off to the side, my eyes widening slightly when I saw Ryou in the bushes…he quickly ducked back after realizing I saw him. No one was paying attention to me so I gave a careless wave and walked on.

All these duels were starting to bore me, really, just duel after duel after duel, I mean sure important part of the story but can we go to a part where there AREN'T SO MANY CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES! As a matter of fact if all these guys and girls are teenagers why on earth are they playing non-gambling card games? Maybe it's just because I'm from a world of drugs and alcohol where people put down those who play card games past the age of ten, I'm not saying I don't enjoy the cards and if you enjoy it I'm happy for you but really…this isn't needed, all of these card games in a row, so annoying!

As well as this between episodes even MORE people challenge us! It's like, I ca take card games but there's just too many at once! Well enough of my rambling, the group is waiting for me.

Remember what I said about an annoying overdose of card games? I just got challenged to one, I glared in annoyance at the guy and was about to decline when Yugi answered for me,

"Well of course you will Ame-chan, this will be your first proper duel, I've never actually seen you play before!"

Thanks Yugi…thanks. I made a face and stepped up to the platform, I closed my eyes, I was suddenly extremely tired, I'd noticed these random waves of tiredness after the whole incident with falling off of the side of the boat. I frowned and put my cars in their place, drew five cards and waited for him to make his move. He sent out some weird zebra…unicorn thing and I blinked, okay? I drew a card and looked down at my hand, 3 monsters, one trap and two magic cards, that's not so bad I suppose. I placed the trap down and put the weaker of the two serpentine monsters down, then used a magic card to pimp it up. I attacked and took about a hundred of his life points, I heard Yugi, Tea, Joey and Tristan cheering loudly.

He frowned and drew a card, he grinned and placed down a kind rex, what the hell are they common? I know Raptor has one, maybe I should get one, they seem alright. He didn't bother with magic cards though, he just made it attack, this activated my trap and his whole hand was sent to the grave yard.

I drew a card and frowned, one monster and three magic cards. I placed the monster in deffence mode and ended my turn. He grinned and sent out two monsters, I have no idea what they were, one was a weird scorpion looking thing and the other…you know I can't even describe that thing, I'll just use the word, demented.

I drew a card and frowned, I now only had magic cards, talk about the luck of the draw. It went on like that, he just kept pulling out more and more monsters, I mostly got my traps and magic with a monster thrown in here and there, what the hell! I made sure I had more monsters than traps or magic why was I getting such pitiful luck!

The scores were now, me 750, him 1000, I drew another card and finally I had some luck, it was one of my stronger fighters and I had been saving a magic card. I grinned and put them both down, the dragon was a casual green color and when I placed the magic card down it's defense stats went up something ridiculous, and it also added slightly to it's attack, I grinned and made it attack.

Me: 750

Him: 600

He drew another monster card and I made a sound of annoyance, I bet his deck was just like Joey's, all monsters no magic or traps. It was a sad duel really, two amateurs facing off, not very exciting, still the group cheered me on, but I now noticed Yami was out.

I saw him say something to the others and I just managed to read his lips,

'The heart of the cards isn't with her,'

Oh what a load of…I didn't continue that. With my now pimped up monster I drew another card, another monster, I grinned and sent out the snake like creature and used a magic card to up its attack. One defender, one attacker and a trap card in defense mode. I was quite happy with that. So with this combination I beat down everything else he sent at me and won.

Me: 700

Him: 0

I got down from the platform and couldn't help feeling proud of myself, I had chosen a good deck, despite all of my monsters seemed to hide at the bottom until the end. I looked up and was surprised to find Yami standing before me. His eyes were narrowed,

"You don't believe in your deck,"

A raised an eyebrow,

"Sweet heart the cards don't move themselves around, they're just cards and illusions, trust me if I cut these things in half you will find no heart, I would rather not cut them up though, I've grown attached to my monsters."

Yami turned and I noticed the others weren't coming closer, just watching, my opponent had run away, probably from embarrassment…I hate to admit it but if I lost I probably would have had an urge to that too.

"How do you know so much? You call me 'Yami' and realize who I'm not, you make everyone be quiet in crucial parts in duels, you seem bored when you should be tense, how do you know so much?"

I blinked, now I knew what was going on, he had probably asked the others for privacy, I closed my eyes and prepared myself. I had to lie, I really didn't want to, I hate lying, it leaves an odd feeling in my mouth and makes me feel guilty for a while afterwards, but here the truth was dangerous.

"I know many things, mainly it's just because I'm perceptive. I cheer for my friends but as I do I play extreme attention to their facial expressions when they draw their cards and I knew Joey had figured out Mai's strategy when his face showed realization,"

"Why didn't you tell him what she was doing?"

"Because I value independence, I knew he would figure it out eventually because Joey may do many stupid things but he isn't stupid, I stopped cheering and was silent for your own duel because I noticed that smug smirk tugging at the corner of your lips the entire time. I will only ever fail to predict when someone manages a complete poker face,"

He frowned, something in his eyes believed me and…something in his eyes didn't, he simply nodded curtly and went to turn back,

"Yami,"

He looked over at me,

"Is something wrong?"

His eyes went slightly wider and he stared at me with a look of curiosity, I felt sorry for the guy to be honest, I didn't know what it was like to lose your memory and not know your purpose, I didn't know what it was like to have to hide away like he did but I could imagine. I smiled as kindly as I could,

"It's unhealthy to suffer in silence, I can see confusion and mistrust in your eyes, if you ever need a friend, just know I know you're not Yugi and I will not treat you as if you are him, but I offer my friendship, it's not much but it's something,"

I held out my hand and he stared at it for a while, he simply blinked and frowned,

"Perhaps for now we shall stick to allies, I see no hatred or bad intention in you, but still…you are a…suspicious character,"

With that he turned and walked away, I stared after him, slightly hurt that he wouldn't trust me, but in his situation I wouldn't trust me either. I frowned, I had lied, I had looked him directly in the eye and lied, I felt that if I looked away he would see through it, I was lying more and more recently. I told Yugi I was okay when I had trouble breathing ever since the boat, I told Yami I was perceptive when I really am not, I told everyone I had no memory of my past when to me it was clear as day. I felt that familiar feeling enter my mouth and the guilt enter my mind, I tried to push it back. The lying was necessary I repeated to myself in my head, it was necessary.

That night as we all sat by the camp fire, I was quiet, I kept my eyes on the bushed I had purposely sat in front of I didn't know if tonight would be the night, forests had many bushes. Then it started rustling and I knew he was about to arrive.

Thanks for reading! Please review, and no not 'omg awesome!' I mean those reviews are cool and all but I don't look for reviews for compliments I look for ones that will help me with my grammar, spelling and story telling. Thanks and bye!
