Disclaimer: This story is a copyright from me. I also may have used other plots from other authors. Almost all characters, objects, names, places, powers, moves, events, plots and weapons are not original worked. They were already made from other manga, anime and cartoon stories. They are also already copyrights that I do not own. This story is an anime story. P.S.This story is also a crossover of other anime/cartoon stories like Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Sonic X plus other Sonic video game plots and characters, Danny Phantom, FullMetal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, Pokémon and others more later on. Later on this volume, I am using Erika Aoyama and Mew Erika from Arrick Haun from Fan as one of the other characters in this anime story. Ichigo Momomiya has also the name of "Tokadul" and she is 17 years old than 13 like in the anime. As Mew Ichigo, all of her Mew Mew attacks not only harm, effect or destroy a Chimera Anima, but anything or anyone. This is not also a copy of either any "Dragon Knight" or "Dragon Knights" stories, but it's weird that I never heard of them until now. It is my idea, even if the names of it are weird. Some characters will have, sometimes, a short written name. Like for example, Ichigo Momomiya= Ichigo M and Ichigo Kurosaki= Ichigo K. Most names are in their Japanese or English versions. If you don't get it, look at in the Internet. Note: Most Duel Monster card names will be in their English names. Also, most cards effects are change into their anime version. Also note that most techniques/Jutsus from Naruto will be in its English form and others in its Japanese forms.
Hello Readers, this is Redo Episode 3 of the first arc of Beginnings, the Dragon Knight of Light and the Mew Heroine! Hope you love it! Sorry that it took too long, love it and review it. P.S. I do not own them all or any of them except this crossover story, so I wrote the band's or artist's name that wrote that song which I do not own again.
Also note: I did not expect the Redo of this one to be this long. Plus I made a few changes. For those who figure what changes were, they will win a prize. Just tell me in your review and you will get a spoiler or details on the next DKR Volumes, but only one! Sorry once again and thanks!
Also, from the latest Anonymous Reviews I've received… Well I will replay to them right now… but I just wish I can reply them directly and not this pathetic way of going through hell:
Future Nekomata: I've started watching Touhou Anime Project… It was something I didn't expect. I actually found it cool. I'll see what I can do about this, or I might do this story in something else… like a Fanfic DKR Movie! But not the first! As for what you mention… I know about Yokais, I did watch Claymore and enjoy it. Anyway, I have a plan for that. But… I couldn't find any more anime on it, which means I have to download the game and I don't know if I'll be able to do that. If you have any ideas, please review and tell me what you have in mind. Also, I am sorry this took long, it was annoying.
Mimi Leana: I'm amazed someone else enjoying this story and even saw my profile. I mean I work hard and I'm glad to have fans and supports like you all. Thank you Mimi, I was happy to read your review. It's something I would say myself. Right to the point! Yugi isn't perfect, but he doesn't have to be as long as he fights and protects his friends and home from the evil of the Dark Lords and more evil jerks too. Thank you for enjoying this. And if you want to ask me anything, and I mean like if you need answers to be answered or you have some ideas for this story, you can tell me and I'll see what I can do!
Also… I had this bad review from this guy that said I wasn't or not involving Doctor Who. First off, I got hook with the series by the 9th, 10th, and of course the 11th Doctors… AND BY THE WAY ''gandalf'', bow ties are awesome! SO SCREW YOU! I'm sorry to all fans of Doctor Who and you will expect the 10th Doctor in Volume 4. Thank you. The 9th I have plans with, and the 11th as well so on.
And to also random person and another one by pie head (guest): Ichigo… is Ichigo Momomiya! She is her own character, and has flaws like everyone in this fanfic, in the Anime/Manga, EVERYWHERE. Shadow too, but he has a good excuse because he is the Emo Black Hedgehog/Ultimate Life Form, and badass with a trouble past that makes him that much of a badass. And if you think Ichigo is like that, well she will be… to Sasuke, to a OC in the future, and so on. Why? Why not? Plus, I like Ichigo, she is wonderful in her own way. But thanks anyway.
The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.
Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!
Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the sides of his comrades and his love. This hero... is the Hero of Light, the Last Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 1: Episode 3: Introductions and a Development Occurs! A School Under Attack and New Knuckle-Head Appears. Go Dragon Knight, Nya!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The return of the Dragon Knight came to be when a flash of light hit the skies of Domino and was so big that it shines throughout the entire world. A few people witnessed the light, and when it disappeared, a knight of dragons was born and appeared to protect his precious love ones from the Dark Lord of Darkness. That is the tale of Yugi Mutou, a young man who once helped the Nameless Pharaoh, and how he became a legend in a young age as the Dragon Knight of Light.
Right there… he met a beautiful cat girl of a heroine named Mew Ichigo who saved him and helped him against Dark Leader Dragon and managed for both to beat him, for now. After that and making a bond, Yugi returned back to Ichigo Momomiya who was the Mew Mew who saved him. After that, he returned back to his house with a little escort from the police.
And that was where he met a strange group of officers from the Military, and their leader, Roy Mustang. Learning something from the Dragon Knight and the Dark Lord, Yugi is sure he needed to do something about this and to protect his friends at all cost. That is how the young Dragon Knight took his first steps to who he shall become.
And now the conclusion... the following day:
After a long day he had yesterday, Yugi just fall asleep fast after the police left his house. He needed the sleep after the fight he went through with the Dark Lord. He was dreaming of what had happen to him and his new friend Ichigo Momomiya against Dark Leader Dragon, but a bit different. Mew Ichigo was there too. But instead of leaving, she was going to kiss Yugi. Yugi closed his eyes for a second to only open them to see that Mew Ichigo was replaced by Ichigo Momomiya. Even though it was her, he still felt the same feeling to her like his female idol. But before they could kiss, his alarm clock's super ringing woke him up which cause him to fall from his bed to the floor.
Yugi says while groaning in pain. "Ouch, my butt! Huh! Was everything that had happen last night just a dream?"
Then a familiar voice appeared inside Yugi's head. "Not even close, Yugi."
Yugi quickly got up from the floor and saw Yami in his spiritual, faded ghost form sitting on his chair. Yugi yells in thought with both happiness and relieve in his voice. "Yami! You're still here! I'm glad it wasn't a dream."
Yami responds with a smile. "Me too. Now you better go use the bathroom, you have school. I also checked your new memories while you were sleeping, so I'm preparing for everything. I'm even prepared if the Dark Lord attacks."
Yugi nods and goes to the bathroom. Even though it felt weird this all was happening, he was glad he had his partner back. But oddly was the damage he took from the fight the Dark Lord, it was all gone. He was sure he took more damage, then again he rather not concentrate too much about it.
But one thing was in his mind… was he dreaming of his crush of a heroine… or Ichigo? Yugi just sighed as he ignored that, not letting that get in his way. Besides, he's friends with Ichigo Momomiya, and that's all he needs to know.
After 40 minutes of preparing...
Yugi was all dress up and had already wearing his Millennium Puzzle around his neck like old times and his Duel Belt around his waist with his deck inside. He then almost left his room, until he saw the sheath of the Dragon Sword, with it inside, hanging around his door knob. Yugi forgot he left it there, and he had no idea where else to put it.
He was a little concern if the Dark Lord does return and he didn't had his only weapon that could fight him evenly. So he made a choice. "I'm going to take the sword with me at all times. Is it okay with you?"
"Wise choice, just in case that Dark Leader Dragon comes back." Yami agreed with his partner on this one.
Yugi grabs the sword's hilt and places the sheath behind his belt under his jacket. He then grabs his school bag and leaves the room. As soon as he came downstairs, he looked around and saw that the shop was still a mess. Grandpa Mutou then comes down to see the mess. He also notices the sad face that Yugi has, so he greets him to cheer him up in a happy tone. "Good morning my grandson of mines. How are you doing?"
Yugi turns around to greet his grandfather in a false happy tone and face, to not worry him. "Good morning, Grandpa. I'm fine by the way."
"Are you going to school today?" His grandfather asks him which Yugi nods. "I got to. Besides, I'm coming back to fix this mess after school."
"Don't worry about it. The shop is closed until it's ready and clean. So no one is getting any cards today, except for you." Grandpa Mutou declares with a grin on his face. Yugi raised an eyebrow with a curious face with it. "What do you mean except me, Grandpa?"
Grandpa Mutou took out small box from his pocket. He opens it, takes out three 3 duel monsters cards and gives them to Yugi. Yugi was surprise by seeing these cards and yells out. "The Egyptian God Cards! All three Egyptians God Cards!"
Yugi never thought he would see them in his hands again. The Sky Dragon of Osiris, Obelisk the Giant God Soldier and Winged God Dragon of Ra, the three strongest monsters in existence, back in his possession. "Why?"
"You might need them again. Against someone like Dark Leader Dragon, you and the Pharaoh will need all the power that you will need." His grandfather said with a serious look in his eyes. Yugi just smiles and receives the cards. He does need them, in some way or another. He then feels their powers again. "At least they still have their powers."
Yami also felt their energies and noticed them too well. "It's a good thing too."
He places them inside his deck, inside his deck pocket belt. He looks back to his grandfather, wondering a lot of how he knows so much about the Dark Lord and the Dragon Knight. He asks him in the form of multiple questions. "Grandpa, why did Dark Leader Dragon know you and my father? Why was the Dragon Sword even here anyway? Was my father the last Dragon Knight? Why am I the Dragon Knight now? Why you know so much?"
Yugi's Grandpa gave off a concerning expression, knowing his grandson would ask him all this. Before he could answer any one of them, they heard a noise coming from the front door. The knob of the door was starting to move around.
"Umm... Grandpa, does anyone besides you and I have the keys to our house?" Yugi declare as he's sweating of panic. Grandpa Mutou nudged his shoulders. "I don't remember, probably not?"
Yugi had a thought if it was Dark Leader Dragon again and then starts running to the door. He has to act quickly if it's Dark Leader Dragon or someone else worst. He couldn't let that demonic lizard of a dragon get the best out of him again. But as soon as he got to the door, it quickly opens and Yugi almost gets hit by a suitcase if he didn't duck in time. "A suitcase? Who would hit me with a-"
He was unable to finish his question as a frying pan suddenly hits him across the face, causing him to fall on the floor. Yugi drops on the ground, and then the same suitcase lands on his head which hurt. Before Yugi got the chance to get up, someone's shadow appears in front of him. However, it wasn't the Dark Lord.
It was a young woman around 19-20 years old who had long blond hair with purple hair tips on her front haired, showing them a bit more spiky haired, as well as she had the same hairstyle long blond crooked that Yugi had, but a bit more longer. And her eyes were purple, fill with a determination. She was wearing a long orange coat, underneath was a black blouse that wasn't button complete and only up to show her neck, and a medium dark blue skirt with a pair of black shoes and long thigh high, dark blue socks. She was holding the same pan that smack Yugi and another suitcase beside her feet. She was smiling and said to Yugi in a cocky tone. "You're as clumsy as before. Huh, Yugi?"
Yugi finally sees her, and stares at her in panic. He tries to crawl behind him and says in a nervous tone. "JJJJJEEEEEEENNNNN... Jenny?!"
Jenny removes the suitcase off Yugi's head. She then reaches her hand to Yugi and says. "It's been a long time, little brother."
He lifts his hand and she pulls him up. As soon as he got up, she hugged him. Yugi was surprised but understood why she hugged him. Not many of his friends knew he had a sister, who was much smarter than him and was a big success. For him, to see her for a long time… made him happy as he hugs her back. "I missed you too, Onee-san."
She smiles to hear that as she slowly removes her arms off Yugi. Before he could say anything else, Jenny smacks Yugi over the head with her pan again. Yugi cracks as tears drop from his head and rubs his head. Jenny declares with both a serious look and tone. "What exactly happened here?! I was called by the police that Grandpa was attacked! How's he doing?"
"I fine Jenny. Give your grandfather a big hug." Grandpa says as he opens up his arms. Jenny starts crying as she yells in excitement. "Grandpa!"
She runs to him and hugs him too. She says in happiness. "I miss you a lot more. How are you? Did the doctors made you better? If they didn't, they're going to be sorry!"
"I've been better. And relax, I am perfectly fine!" Grandpa declares as he slams his right hand over his chest with a grin on his face. In fact, that grin was a lie as he was in pain when he smacked his hand on his chest. And Jenny was no fool to notice that as she gives him a quick glare. Grandpa then asked her. "So, how's collage doing for you?"
Jenny picks up her other suitcase from the floor, places it besides her and responds. "I'm doing great. I'm done with all my classes and work and now working. And also..."
She turns to Yugi and continues saying with an evil grin on her face. "I'm staying here, permanent. Right Yugi?"
Yugi got scared, but says in a clear, less nervous tone. "Of course... you can... stay, forever."
Yugi was completely terrified by his older sister that it made him too afraid to say anything if he wished for a pan to be smack on his face. Even if he calls her by the phone, he has to be happy or else. It made him to revert back to his scared self and that was saying something that got him in trouble. That was the same thing when Jenny would come and that made him even more afraid of her. Jenny says while smiling. "Good, I'm glad you understand the situation."
Jenny then noticed a small glow and it was from Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. She stared it, curious by the weird item around Yugi's neck, and finally asked him. "Is that the souvenir that Grandpa gave you? It seems too pointy to wear around your neck."
Yugi sighs to how could have she was never told about the gift Grandpa gave him and says. "Right, you never visited me those years that I had it. And it is not pointy, it is… awesome."
Jenny's face became sad for how long she was not around, a very long time which seemed bad for the older sibling to not act as such. "I'm sorry about not being here. I or Zeke weren't here."
Yugi wide his eyes as he asks her. "How is he? My older brother. Is he really dead like everyone else said?"
"No one knows, except me. He was also called, but no respond. He'll be here... when he's ready to show himself and reveal he's not dead but stupid to say he was." Jenny declared with a furious stare in her face now.
Yugi and Jenny had an older sibling, Zeke, who went missing or so does everything thing. No one knew what happened to him since the death of their parents and just… poof, vanished. Jenny has been finding ways to reach him and seems sure he's alive and just messing with them like when he was a kid.
She then changed the subject so she wouldn't see Yugi become depressed. "So, are you going to school?"
"Yeah, and I have to go now." Yugi answers back. Jenny then took out something from her purse and handed him a power bar and a bottle of orange juice.
"Even your big sister can see that you haven't eaten breakfast, so better eat this on your way to school." Jenny said in a rude tone to show she was serious about the matter. Yugi understood she was being like this so he doesn't get concern about stuff like that. Yugi smiles and says in a happy tone. "Thanks, big sister of mine!"
"No problem. Can you come back home earlier, I have a gift for you when you do." Jenny declared with a big grin on her face. Yugi nods nervously to not upset her as he walks to the front door. "Sure! Bye Jenny, bye Grandpa! See you guys later!"
He runs out quickly outside. She sees her young brother on how fast he was and asks her grandfather. "He's gotten faster now than before, like father."
Grandpa Mutou responds while chuckles. "I know. So... let's go get you unpack."
While running to school, Yami appears and asks him in thought. "Your sister is just as kind and caring like you, minus treating you like a child."
"I know. She's like that. But sometimes, she can really be just too much, like my second mother. It has always been like that with us." Yugi answers to the Pharaoh. From what he remembered about his older sister, she was never around as she stayed with relatives of their mother to study in London. When she does visit, it would be like three times at least in a year. When she does visit, she always treats Yugi like a child. Almost like in a serious motherly way.
However, he was still happy that Jenny was back, because now he has a family with her and his Grandpa with him.
"I could see. But... you also have an older brother?" Yami declared as it was a bit of a shock too. He didn't know Yugi's family was separated, then again, his parents were dead and even he didn't know that. For being a pharaoh, he was amazed he didn't know much about his closest friend and partner.
Yugi became very quiet as he replied in a soft tone. "Yeah, sort of."
Yugi rather not talk about it, but he knew nothing about his older brother Zeke. He was the oldest, but he was never around since their parent's death. Everyone assume he's dead too, except Jenny for some reason. For Yugi, it was even hard to even talk about him. "He's... either dead or nothing. Unlike Jenny who believes he is alive, I don't know. I don't know nothing about him... and I rather not say no more of this matter."
"Okay, I will not ask about him." The Pharaoh promised to not ask about Yugi's brother. He knew better to not ask again to not worry his friend. The two were quiet along the walk, until Yami finally had to break the silence. "Anyway, we have a problem."
"What problem is that?" Yugi ask in some concern like he knows which one they are talking about. Yami stared closely at Yugi as he said. "The one that how we're going to tell Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda that I have returned."
As soon as he heard that, Yugi taps his head and says in thought and worry. "Oh no, I forgot! And, you're right. Okay... we'll tell them about last night, except the parts that we're this Dragon Knight."
Yami asks with a curiously of an eyebrow up. "Why not?"
Yugi shown a face of great worry when he remembered the threat the Dark Lord made, and how his friends were happy that nothing bad will happen ever again. "…Because I don't want them to be used against me or be harmed by that Demon Lizard. We'll tell them when the time is right."
"And Momomiya-san?" The Pharaoh announces as Yugi takes a breath in. "I'll explain to her too and... About you."
"Well if it's for the... Wait! Me?" The Pharaoh replied in shock to hear that. Yugi frowned to think of the mess he drags Ichigo into this too. At least letting her know some about Yami wouldn't hurt.
"She deserves the truth, right?" Yugi proclaims seriously to the Pharaoh. Yami had to admit he was right about that. She did learn a lot more than she should have, and it wouldn't be odd if she knew. I mean she would be crazy enough to believe what had happened last night, so she does. Not to mention the Pharaoh notice the bright sparkles in Yugi's eyes when he mentions her name.
Yami agreed as he tells him with a smirk. "Of course. She is someone special to you. You just love to protect her, like a lover. A couple."
Yugi blushes reddish which made him very nervous and embarrassed to hear that from him. He likes her, but only as friends as he yells mentally to the Pharaoh. "Not funny and, we're friends!
"For now. Face it, she could be your future wife." The Pharaoh announce with a bigger smirk over his face.
Yugi ignored that part, as badly as he tried to. The thought of Ichigo, being his future wife… sounds crazy enough to not come true. He instead looks at his watch and sees that classes will start soon. So he hurries up even faster to make it. He took multiple turns to get there faster, but as soon as he turns to the next alley, he accidentally bumps his head onto someone else head. They both fell pretty fast as Yugi lands on his butt. Yugi, sitting down on the ground, rubs his head and says. "Aww, ouch! Not again."
He finally looks to see the other person to only be surprise that he was bumped by Ichigo Momomiya who was also on a hurry. Also rubbing her head, she sees Yugi and yips loudly as she bows. "Yugi-kun! I'm sorry! I was late and I didn't see you coming my way."
Yugi got up and held his hand to her. She grabs him and he pulls her up. Yugi says while smiling nervously. "No, it is okay. It was more my bad, Ichigo-kun. I was in a hurry."
"Me too, Nya. I'm tired." Ichigo yawns while talking and speaking her cat ''Nya''. Yugi agrees as he begins to yawn too. Then they both started laughing at how tired they were. After everything that had happened last night, who wouldn't have.
They both walk together to school while they were chatting about a few things. Like how Yugi's sister returned to stay and how Ichigo's parents were freaking out about last night too like Jenny. Before reaching the school, Ichigo asks Yugi with a concerning tone and look. "Yugi-kun, what are we going to say to everyone about last night?"
Yugi knew she would eventually ask him that as he replied in a calmed, serious tone. "Everything, except the Dragon Sword and I'm this Dragon Knight too. We'll tell them if this mess goes even worst. Okay?"
She nods as she understand how bad it could be for them to learn all that and then become targets for the Dark Lord. Then she changed the subject. "Alright. But why did that Dark Leader Dragon call you by this Pharaoh Atem anyway?"
He knew she would ask him that too. But before he could answer her, they both heard a commotion coming from the front of Domino High School. They saw a huge crowd of students watching something happening. Yugi and Ichigo hurry up there and saw that Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda were waiting for someone.
"Good morning everyone! What's going on?" Yugi greeted everyone as he arrived with Ichigo, showing a questionable look to the crowd of people. Anzu smiles to see Yugi as she was very happy to see him. "Yugi! I'm glad you're here. We have an emergency."
"It's big and messy." Honda added as he was clinging his fist angrily. Yugi knows better if Honda is like that, it's bad.
"What do you mean?" Ichigo asks with her right finger over her right cheek and showing a confused expression.
"Well..." Jonouchi begins to say until he stops because he notices it was Ichigo who he was talking to. This made him mad as he asked in a jerky tone. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Ichigo, surprised by what he said, responds in an angry tone. "What do you mean by that?! I go here now!"
Not so surprised, Jonouchi thought for a second and said in wonder. "Oh right, you do. Guess I forgot my second least favorite and unexpected ''person'' comes here and now she's too awesome that she can hang around with my best friend."
With that, Ichigo got so angry that she stepped hard on Jonouchi right foot. The pressure that she gave him was so painful that he cries out of suffering. "IT HURTS!"
Ichigo responds in a sarcastic tone. "Opps! I forgot your foot was there."
This got Jonouchi go all red in rage. They both glared at each other in anger, until Anzu went between the two and said as she moved her arms to both. "Come down you two. Yugi, just come and see."
So all five went through the crowd and saw this big, ugly guy messing around with a kid. That kid is Danny Fenton, who was wearing the blue Domino school uniform. Everyone was scared to help him because the bully is known to be dangerous. Yugi recognize him right away and knew why it was bad.
"That guy… he's Ushio Tetsu, my so-called bodyguard who is also the biggest bully in this school, well used to be." Yugi declares as he stares at the much older and brutal Ushio. He remembered how bad he was when he was younger, and how he had to stand up against him to protect Jonouchi and Honda, and how they became friends.
However, it wasn't the end of him. Once Yugi rebuild the Millennium Puzzle, the Pharaoh returned back from his long sleep. And one day, when Ushio tried to corner Yugi who got him suspended for the beat down he left him. In result, Yami took action and commence a Penalty Game which resulted with Ushio to suffer a major case of defeat, for Ushio to be eaten by monsters that were coming out from his own body. The results left him insane, and prove his judgment for all of his acts for thinking he was protecting people.
Yugi, after learning the truth later on, felt responsible for what had happened to him, so much that he felt bad for him. "So he's back."
Ichigo stares in amazement that the guy was very big… way big. "He's big! But what do you mean "he's back"?"
"He got suspended when he beat up Yugi for defending Jonouchi and Honda." Anzu explains to the cherry haired girl as Honda raised his hand to the sky. "The day we gave up bulling people and became friends with Yugi."
"I learned an important lesson about how friendship is and how the small people; they're brave and willing to fight for someone." Jonouchi declares proudly as he looks at Yugi with a smile that resulted for Yugi to smile back. Ichigo was amazed that this jerk of an idiot was somewhat different than her boss.
"Wow. And I thought he was a big jerk. Maybe he's not so bad." Ichigo thought to herself while she was smiling a little to the blond-headed idiot. That soon changed as they saw the poor exchange student being pushed around by Ushio.
Yugi then clinched his fist and hold it around his other hand by how upset he was. It reminded him so much of when he was picked around as a kid. He didn't exactly stood up for himself, because he was scared. Right now… seeing someone going through the same harsh ways, he had it. Yugi declares in a serious tone. "I can't believe that he's messing with someone else again. Even more with someone who's new and Ushio is not even from here now!"
Danny, who got attacked by this big bully out of nowhere, asked him in Japanese, who he learned from his older sister Jazz before coming here. "Please Mr. Big Fellow, I only asked for directions. Not for some payment or I get hit."
Ushio responds by punching him, but Danny dodges it but barely as he had to make it good. "Give me your protection money and I'll be mercifulness."
Danny just felt like he was back home, except he might get killed here than there. It was like if he was being bullied by Dash except much taller and worst. He said mentally to himself in his normal English talk. "I can't believe that in the other side of the world there is another Dash Baxter, but a worsted version."
The big bully try to punch him again, but Danny dodged that one too. However, he grab Danny's collar in the last minute with the same hand and push him to the ground.
"I don't like weak people, so I'll make this short." Ushio declares as he cracks his fists. Danny tries to get up on all fours as he mutters. "Well, I don't like weak comebacks either."
Yugi, Ichigo and friends all got worry about the situation. This was very bad that they needed his help, the only one, who was brought here, to end the age of the bullies and thugs. Yugi turns to his best friend and asks him seriously. "Jonouchi, where is he?!"
"He's must be late, AGAIN! Someone has to stall for time till he comes!" Jonouchi shouted angrily which also made Honda mad too. Ichigo just stood there, not understanding who they were talking about. "Who are you guys talking about?"
They didn't answer her which made her even more confused. Yugi then had a small smile over his face and declares in a heroic tone. "Then, it's up to me."
Everyone stood in astonished and shocked to what the tri-color haired kid. Yami was also surprised to hear that as he asks his partner mentally. "Are you sure?"
Yugi nods for yes and Yami nods back, knowing he means it. Ichigo then smiled, knowing that he can do it, and says in a peep talk tone. "You can do it Yugi-kun! I have faith in you! Kick some butt!"
All three of Yugi's friends were shocked of what they just heard from the new girl that they even notice Yugi smiling for that. Before Yugi headed out, they finally notice the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. Before they could say something, Yugi ran off to save the exchange student.
Ushio cracks his fist once more as he scoffs at Danny. "Okay funny boy, let me give you a piece of fear."
Danny stares angrily at the giant jerk for that comment on fear. He knows all about fear, and this fear was nothing compare to the others he has faced. "I know what fear is, Mr. Jerk. I have to use my ghost powers, but I can't or my secret is blown. This is going to hurt, a lot."
Ushio raise his fist and throws it to hit Danny on his face. Danny had to let him punch him or he'll be question. So he was about to take it, until Yugi jump in and grab Ushio's punch with his right palm. Ushio, Danny and everyone else were surprised that someone finally helped out the new kid, and it was Yugi of all people.
"What the hell?!" Ushio says in surprised as Yugi glares at him. "Hey Ushio-san, don't mess with those who didn't do nothing to you."
Ushio's eyes widen when he saw Yugi. He began to panic when he saw him, and instantly remember the hell he put him in. He was in a medic lunatic hospital, trying to recover the madness that the little man did it. He says in an uncared tone, trying to sound like that. "You! You got taller and changed your ugly hair, Mutou. But this is not your fight. Leave us!"
Yugi, who stares at him in a narrow serious look, says to Ushio in a serious tone too. "Sorry… but, I can't let you do that."
He tries his best and sends a quick uppercut punch on Ushio's chest which pushes him inches away from the two. Everyone was amazed by this, even Danny. Yugi turns around, holding his hand to Danny and asks him in English with a small smile. "Are you okay?"
Danny grabs on to his hand and he pulls him up. Danny was still amazed by this guy that he could speak in English. While he was here before that gigantic bully show up to bother him, he tried to talk to a lot of people in English but a lot of them were very bad or spoke half way through. It was not fun, but he didn't expect someone to know how to speak his language. He answers him back in English. "Thanks! I'm glad someone speaks my language and protects the little people like me."
Yugi chuckles a little as he answers back with a small smile. "No problem. That's who I am… I guess."
They both began to chuckle until Ushio brushed off the punch Yugi sent him and yelled at the two. "You two will pay for this! Boys, I am needed of your assistances!"
Then 6 thugs appeared from the crowd and surrounded both Yugi and Danny.
"What do you want us to do boss?" The first thug asks Ushio as he grins evilly. "Make them suffer!"
Yugi just smirks and shouts out. "You haven't changed since the last time we met."
"What do you mean? I've improved on my business and even got my own gang. I'm invincible! And this time no illusion will get me!" Ushio declares as he points his finger at Yugi. Both he and Yami weren't surprised when he said that.
Yugi shook his head in disagreement as he declares with a determinate look. "You're wrong!"
Now the tough bully was confused with a questionable look. Yugi continues saying with a clear tone. "Someone like you can do better than just bully people and make them pay a bill for your so-call "services"! Look at me; I would never step in and save someone I barely know, but because of a friend of mine who told me it's always right to defend those who can or can't without asking nothing in return. Ushio-san, I would choose to protect anyone without get nothing in return!"
Ushio got mad from what Yugi said; even more that he notices a different look in his eyes. He wasn't the same boy he beaten up years ago. Ushio then questioned him with an angry look. "What makes you so high and mighty?"
Yugi says with a smile. "Because I'm not the same Yugi who would let others get hurt; I'm a better me who will protect my dear friends! That means you can also change too!"
This truly amazed and shocked Ushio that Yugi would say that. And then Yugi added with a serious and yet sad stare towards Ushio. "You could be a real bodyguard or something like that and protect anyone without asking for your payment. Maybe... you can have real friends like me."
Ushio got more upset that his whole face turned red. He shouts with a hateful tone. "Why should I! I won't let some KID tell me what to do! Let's just fight so I can show YOU that your foolish speech was just all talk! Well, Yugi!"
The tri-color haired hero simple closed his eyes to think. Ichigo was worry if he might leave and let poor Danny get hurt. But that wasn't the case because he shouts with his reopen eyes in a heroic face. "Then I'll have to show you wrong. Bring it! Even if you do have a gang, I won't let you hurt anyone!"
Ichigo knew he would say that. It's not like Yugi to let someone he barely knows or a close friend to get hurt. She smiles to herself as she takes a step forward and shouts out. "And he's not alone!"
This made everyone noticed her and she continued saying while smiling. "I will support him and will cheer for him, no matter what! A friend helps a friend after all!"
Yugi smiles to hear her stand up for him. This amazed Jonouchi and thought to himself while staring at Ichigo. "Maybe she's not so bad so, but still…"
Anzu was truly amazed by the cherry top girl's act who she just met yesterday that she stepped up too. "I'm with her too. You guys will never understand how friends will always support each other."
"You think I'm scared by that or you?" Ushio declares angrily. Then Jonouchi turn to Honda and both nodded as they agreed. Then both Jonouchi and Honda enter the scene beside Yugi and declare while acting in their macho like heroic tones and way. "Then we're an exception."
He focuses attention to them and they continue saying. "Time for some saving the day thing and getting some payback!"
Yugi smiles all around his friends, sticking beside him in a time like this. He was most grateful towards them all, including Ichigo-kun. "Thanks, everyone."
Yugi then turns to Danny and asks him. "Want to help us out? If you don't, it's alright; I know the feeling. By the way… my name is Yugi Mutou.
This surprised Danny, not the understanding part, but the name and thought to himself. "Yugi? The name I said yesterday. If so… NAY! Just very rare coincidence."
The young Fenton answers back with a thumb up. "Of course I'll help. I was learned to help others! And I'm Danny Fenton by the way. I'm the exchange student for the year."
Yugi smiles to hear that, as everyone heard about this American Exchange Student since for a while now. And boy was Yugi hoping to meet a nice guy from the exchange student and he did. "That's pretty cool Danny-kun!"
Ushio became mad that Yugi was ignoring him, and starts yelling in anger. "Me and my gang are not scared of some nerds!"
Jonouchi and Ichigo shout back at once. "Who are you calling NERDS to?!
"We are and… we'll show you all!" The second Thug declared with an evil smirk as he took out a baseball bat and charged towards Yugi and Danny. He prepared his bat and swings it as he ran at them. Yugi was going to almost take out the Dragon Sword because he had no option in stopping the swinging bat, but someone appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the bat with one hand. Before the surprise thug could say or do something, the stranger said. "Oi! Didn't anyone teach you about not hurting harmless kids?"
The thug widened his eyes as he couldn't pull the bat out of the man's hand. "What?"
The strange, orange haired teen smirks as he tightened his grip on the bat. "If you didn't, then…"
He then gives him a quick and effective uppercut punch which tosses and throws the thug down to the ground, unconscious, grabs the bat and breaks it in half. "Then you mess with the wrong person!"
If anyone didn't know him, it was Ichigo Kurosaki in his cool and upsetting look that torn down the thug to his knees. Everyone was shocked and had their jaws dropped, even Danny and Ichigo M. Everyone in Domino High School were still amazed by the kid from Karakura Town, coming here by a terrible incident, and saving them from the bully pest.
Yugi smiles happily as he walks towards him. "Kurosaki-san! Glad you came!
"Me too. And… YOU'RE LATE, YET AGAIN!" Jonouchi shouted angrily at the orange haired teen like a total monkey as Honda try to calm him down. Ichigo K chuckles and says with a smirk: "Sorry. I was busy, but I'm here now. So… let's give them a run for their money.
All four boys shout in responds to Ichigo. "Right!"
"Let's rock!" Ichigo K declares with a smirk as he shows his right fist to the remaining thugs and Ushio. Ushio had no idea who this orange haired teen was, but he was nervous to what he was able to do to one of his men. He then orders at the remaining thugs in a nervous and angry tone. "Get them!"
All the other thugs were terribly in fear to see Ichigo Kurosaki in front of them. One of the thugs declares as he sweating and gulping his throat very rough. "But… he's Kurosaki, the orange haired destroyer! Anyone who messes with him or anyone else around him will feel his pain."
Ushio grabs the thug by the neck and pulls him off his feet as he glare at him angrily. "I don't care! Whoever he is or not, get them all!"
So the remaining thugs rush in, of fear from their leader, towards Yugi and the others with their fists ready to fight. Everyone got together in their teams or solo to handle them Jonouchi and Honda double team four of them and kick their butts quick and fast. "TAKE THAT!"
Danny made sure to lead the other thug to the wall. That thug landed a punch, but Danny dodged in the last second by ducking. Then he throws his fist to the wall instead which hurt him and probably broke it. The thug sent another punch, but Danny used his ghost powers in the last second to go a bit intangible through his face. The punch passed through the moving Danny, to avoid suspension of the punch, to the wall which the thug got hurt again. Then Danny sent his own punch to knock him down instantly. "That was close."
Yugi and Ichigo K quickly tackle and send a knee uppercut and a quick jab to knock down the last two thugs at once. That was until another thug appear from behind and Yugi saw him in time to punch him across the chest, which wasn't a brilliant idea which the man's chest was very hard like a wall, and it hurt Yugi's hand very badly. "OUCH!"
Ichigo K handled the thug while the Yugi was in pain and that didn't take him long. The orange haired teen watches in an astonished, small pupil staring at Yugi who was rubbing and blowing on his hand with his mouth. "You alright?"
"Hehehe. Never better." Yugi replied with a nervous grin over his face. In fact, he was in a lot of pain. He didn't expect that once he became the Dragon Knight, he figured he wouldn't receive any pain, but that was a lie and learned he's no Superman. "Even this Dragon-DNA doesn't save me from this pain too! Being the Dragon Knight won't be as fun as I'd hope to be."
As soon as all the thugs were defeated, Ushio made a sneak attack at Yugi by stabbing him with a knife from his pocket. Before anything could happen next, Yugi sense a great danger coming his way and like second sense, he grabs Ushio's hand that had the knife with his left hand without a cut. Everyone, including Yugi was surprised by this.
Yugi was pretty much amazed he even knew it was coming, but he didn't and that made understand that this was his Dragon Knight abilities."I couldn't do something like that. It must be the Dragon-DNA in me. Not bad. Maybe it's not all bad after all if it saves me from a knife."
Ushio shouts angrily while trying to remove his hand off Yugi's grip. "Let go of me, you nerd!"
Yugi then glared at Ushio as he tightened his grip which hurt Ushio's hand. "Sorry, but for trying to hurt me and my friends like before, especially Danny-kun… YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"
With his right hand moved back and then throws it, Yugi sends a right jab to Ushio's face which hit his face and sent him dropping to the ground with his knife.
Everyone stared in amazement that even Yugi myself was astonished once again. And of course, Yugi felt his hand cracking a bit which he knew tomorrow, it would hurt a lot more. Ichigo K was also dumbfounded by this, but it made him smirk to see Yugi doing it right. But even with that, Ushio still got up in rage with a giant bump over his head.
"You will not beat me! YOU WILL NOT…" Ushio was rumbling around towards Yugi, until he was unable to finish because both Yugi and Ichigo K hit him on his face with opposite fists. Ichigo K glare angrily when he had hit him, never getting why punks like him can do whatever they want. "Shut up, annoying bastard."
With that, Ushio finally falls to down to the ground. Of course the punch was enough for him to get back up again and run for his life. Both scared and screaming with major injuries on his face. Then each one of the thugs ran off without a second thought. As soon as they left, everyone sigh of relief.
Mr. Momomiya Tokadul arrives at the scene a bit too late after all the fighting was over. He notices the knife on the ground. He declares firmly while picking it up. "Okay everyone, back inside."
The crowd scatters off back to the school and Momomiya turns to his new attention which was on Yugi and everyone else. We walked to them as he was very happy. "I see you guys did another number on a new bully problem. Mutou, Kurosaki, you two you did a great job again, everyone else too. By the school rules, I have to punish you five for using violence. But…I guess you did it to protect Fenton-san, so you guys aren't in trouble, for now."
Everyone smiles about that, especially Jonouchi who doesn't want another detention. Mr. Momomiya turns his attention to his daughter and says to her as he rubs her head. "You okay, my great daughter of mines."
Ichigo M nods while blushing of embarrassment and says softly. "Of course. I'm very strong you know."
He nods back to his daughter and adds while he turns around and starts leaving. "Of course you are. Now classes are about to start soon. I postpone them for 20 minutes more. See you all later."
He looked back to Yugi like he wanted to say something to him, but he changed his mind and return back inside the school. Ichigo sighs that it was all her father had to say, and not more of the Samurai stuff. Both Yugi and Ichigo K slap each other hand in victory. '
"Another bully falls down again, Kurosaki-san." Yugi tells the orange haired teen with a smile over his face. Ichigo K nods as he responds. "Yeah that's true. You did well, Yugi-san."
Ichigo K then noticed Yugi was a little bit sad that made him ask if he was alright. "Is something wrong? Did he got you good with that knife?"
"No. I just hope that Ushio was listening and will think about of changing himself." Yugi wonders as he looks up where the coward of Ushio and his thugs ran away to.
Ichigo K folded his arms and thought for a while about what Yugi was saying. He finally said with his head not looking at him. "That depends only on him. If he doesn't, he'll end up in rock bottom. But if he does, he'll be a better person like you and me."
Yugi smiles and says to his friends. "Thanks Kurosaki-san! I own you for saving me and everyone else too. We wouldn't do it without our bonds."
Both Jonouchi and Honda grin to hear that as well as everyone else. In confusion, Danny asked Yugi. "So… you guys stop bullies from hurting others?"
"Basically… Yeah, that's one way to say that. So..." Yugi was telling Danny until he turned his attention to everyone else and says. "Guys, this is Danny Fenton. He's the exchange student."
Everyone, minus Ichigo M, knew about the exchange student so they welcome him with open arms.
"Okay Danny-kun, these are my friends. First, this is Anzu Mazaki." Yugi started his introductions with Anzu who says with a bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Danny-san."
Danny says nervously like while bowing back. "…Um… likewise."
"This guy is Honda Hiroto, another friend of mines." Yugi continues as Honda slaps Danny hand and says proudly. "A friend of Yugi's is a friend of mine too."
"Thanks!" Danny answers to him as well. Then Jonouchi step in with a big grin as Yugi sweat drops with a narrow eyed smirk. "And here's my good buddy, Jonouchi Katsuya!"
Jonouchi says to Danny with a big smile while rubbing his head with his left hand. "I knew when I saw you that we're going to be good friends."
"Wow, I'm honor?" Danny says with a small smirk to see how familiar he thought of Jonouchi with well… someone like Flash when he tried to be Danny's friend, which didn't work.
Yugi then pulled Ichigo M to Danny. "Okay Danny-kun, this is my new…"
Jonouchi quickly interrupts Yugi and declares as he waves his arms around. "No one! She's nobody. Just some girl we met yesterday."
This made Ichigo M upset that she kicks Jonouchi on his butt. He fell down and she didn't let go off her foot from his butt cheeks. Jonouchi yells in anger and pain. "Not twice! GET OFF ME!"
Ichigo M says with burning eyes of anger. "Say sorry first. Or…I will squeeze the life out of you."
Jonouchi's face turns red as he couldn't do this forever. "OKAY! I'm sort of sorry of underestimate your strength."
Still upset and could tell he wasn't supposed to say that but apologizes to her, Ichigo M sighs as she releases him. Ichigo K was blinking of surprised by the cherry haired girl, and he was impressed she wouldn't let a moron like Jonouchi to put her down.
"Oh, that's better. You could've killed me!" Jonouchi declared angrily towards the pigtailed haired girl. Ichigo M shook her head, giving him also a lying grin, as she told him happily. "No. That's just not me."
Jonouchi just stares at her, didn't believe her words not one bit. He said as he gave a narrow stare towards Kurosaki. "Fine, whatever. Anyway, Kurosaki should introduce himself."
"They both should." Yugi suggested with a smile. This confused everyone by that suggestion. He continues saying to the two. "Go on you two, it's cool."
With a bit of hesitation, both not known named both Ichigos nodded in agreement.
"Okay. It's nice and weird to meet you two." Ichigo M declared to both Kurosaki and Danny with a small smile. Ichigo K also added as he rubbed the back of his head. "Same here."
Both Momomiya and Kurosaki began to introduce themselves to Danny at the same time. "I'm Momomiya/Kurosaki… Ichigo"
There was a strange silence, very strange and confusing. Then everyone, except Yugi freaked out by yelling. "What?!"
Both Ichigos stare at each other with a shocking expression over their faces.
Danny asked with a stun expression. "So let me get this straight, there are two students, one girl and one boy, with the same name. How cool and weird."
Yugi answers with a smile over his face, not even surprised by this shocking discovering. "Yup!"
"Wait! Did you know about this Yugi-kun?" Ichigo M demanded in a questionable voice towards the tri-color haired teen. Yugi smirks, knowing the cherry haired girl was a lot smarter than he had given her credit.
"Sort of. That's one reason why I called you by your first name without an honorific." Yugi tells Ichigo as he began to smile nervously, feeling bad that he never thought of calling her by ''-kun'' in the beginning. Ichigo M giggles a bit that she found it funny in a way.
Jonouchi rubbed his haired in rage that he forgot that he already knew a Ichigo and whines angrily. "Man! I knew that I forgot something. We already know about another Ichigo who is second worse than this new one, who lame."
This didn't made Ichigo M happy as she kicked Jonouchi on his nuts and Ichigo K joined her by sending a flying kick on Jonouchi's face. This pretty much silence him and made him unconscious for a while. Both Anzu and Honda didn't say anything to blondish goofball with a sweet drop behind their heads.
Ichigo M thanks Ichigo K with a happy smile. "Thanks for kicking him with me."
Ichigo K replies with a gentle smirk on his face. "No problem. Us Ichigos need to protect our name right?"
Ichigo M smiles back, happy that Kurosaki wasn't like a normal thug. When she saw him show up and help Yugi and Danny, she was scared that he was there to hurt them but it wasn't like that. He was a good person, she could tell in his brown eyes. Plus his name was Ichigo so she had plenty to believe on as she adds. "I still can't believe that there's another person with the same name as mines in this world. Our parents are such goof balls to name us by a fruit."
This got Danny's attention that their name is called by a fruit. He then questioned the two on that topic. "A fruit? Which one is it?"
Both Ichigos stared at each other, trying to figure out if the other one is okay. They both nodded as they both answered the American. "Strawberry."
"Yeah, but there's another meaning to that name." Yugi adds as he stares at Ichigo K. The orange haired Kurosaki nodded seriously while rubbing the back of his spiky hair. "Right Yugi-san. Another way of pronouncing or meaning it, "By the one who protects".''
This pretty much was very new to Ichigo M, who always believed Ichigo was just the name of a fruit. She stared in amazement to the orange haired teen as she noticed he was clinching his right hand. She began to think if maybe this was a thing for her male name twin, and she was right as Ichigo K declared firmly. ''Even if someone can handle themselves, I'll protect those who need it. I'll protect my friends no matter what. That's who I am!"
Ichigo M stares deeply of Kurosaki's last words. She was truly amazed by such a person's duty to protect not just anyone, but even his friends most of all. It wasn't just that, but she and he are a lot alike, more than she first thought. Momomiya mutters those words to herself, with a wondering deep expression. "The one who protects. The one who protects their friends. I mean I do protect everyone as Mew Ichigo.
Momomiya wishes to protect her love ones from the aliens and any threat that would harm them, but she also fears on the future. She wants to protect others, but does that mean she will be forced to give up her freedom as a normal human and continue being Mew Ichigo forever? ''But, do I really want to be a Mew Mew forever? Yugi protects everyone, even if his name doesn't have the same meaning. Maybe…"
Her thoughts were interrupted by the shouting voice of someone familiar. "Momomiya-san!"
She blushes reddish as she turns around to see someone that brightened her face and eyes. A black hair boy, around her age, with brown eyes, was running towards her while wearing a black kendo uniform with a wooden kendo practice sword in his right hand. Everyone saw him running towards Ichigo M, including Jonouchi who got up in pain in his body. She shouts back to him with a big smile over her face while waving. "Masaya-kun!"
It was Masaya Aoyama, Ichigo's boyfriend, who finally came in front of her. He says to her with a smile. "I heard someone was fighting and that a red hair pigtailed girl was like in the middle of it. The only one I could think of was… you, Ichigo."
She begins to blush and tells him with her fuzzy and cute eyes, staring at him deeply. "Nice to hear you say that, Masaya-kun."
Danny raised an eyebrow while looking at the newcomer. He then asked anyone around him. "Who's him?"
Honda responds to him first with a frustrated expression while he narrowed his eyebrows angrily together, by the fact of Masaya's talent of getting any girl to love him. "He's Masaya Aoyama. He's also a new student from Momomiya-san school… and a chick magnet."
"He's smart, athlete and cute looking. I heard he's Ichigo-kun's boyfriend." Anzu adds, showing some signs of red blushes, which further anger Honda and now Jonouchi.
Jonouchi was truly past his rage to think someone like Momomiya would get a chick magnet like Aoyama. He shouted angrily that his voice was heard from almost everyone. "Boyfriend! What's with this girl?"
Ichigo K then turned, staring furious towards Jonouchi. Was this blond-haired moron this much of a pain for Momomiya, even more that she was new to these parts. He declares threatening to him with his scary eyes and face while palming his fist with his other hand. "Do you really want me to hit you again?"
Jonouchi replies in a nervous and scared tone of angering the orange haired beater upper. "No! Please, I really… didn't mean it."
Ichigo K smirked, knowing that got to the idiot's thick skull. That is when Masaya noticed them and asked Ichigo M. "You make new friends, really fast. You're really good at doing that."
Ichigo M shook her head, embarrassed that he thought she was good at it, and cleared it up. "It wasn't much my doing. It was Yugi-kun."
He then turns to Yugi who was now looking at him and says to him with a small smile. "Hi Yugi-san, thanks for helping Momomiya-san in my part."
Yugi slightly grins as it was nothing for him to look out for her, but then again, he was honored. Yugi smiles back as he answers him. "It was no problem at all, Masaya-san."
He smiles back and turns back to Ichigo M as he tells her. "I have to go to the changing room. If I have a chance, I'll see you after school or at lunch. I promise this to you."
Ichigo blushes even more as she nods to her lover. Masaya rushes back inside but not before waving at her and shouting out. "I'll see you later, Ichigo!"
Ichigo also waves and shouts back at Masaya as her brown eyes shine a bit. "Bye, Masaya-kun!"
After Masaya leaves, something then hit Kurosaki's back head. He turned his attention behind him which was a rock that hit his head. He rubbed his head in pain and looked ahead of him, know who threw that rock to him. Obviously, it was Rukia Kuchiki, in her gigai body form and school uniform, who starts yelling at him. "Ichigo, you idiot. Don't leave me when we were..."
She then notices everyone else around him. She quickly changes her attitude and says in a fake, yet sweet and kind voice. "I'm sorry, Kurosaki-kun. I didn't mean to be rude with my closes friend."
Jonouchi and Honda took a step away from the off ball of Kuchiki, with her weird change of personalities that they have noticed ever since they met her. One moment they see her go mad and the other too nice. It was… almost inhuman.
Ichigo K, who stared at her angrily for the rock, had to ignore that part and said with a less angry tone. "Yeah... good morning, Rukia."
''Well thanks. And I'm not the only one you should say that.'' Rukia told him which confused Kurosaki.
"Kurosaki-kun!" Another voice shouted to the orange haired Ichigo. Kurosaki turns around and sees Orihime Inoue trying to run towards him. She has brown eyes, orange hair with two hair-clips which are shaped like six-pedaled flowers and, of course, her physical figure of large breasts. She was trying to catch her breathe while both Jonouchi and Honda stared at her with heart-shaped eyes.
Orihime finally reaches to Ichigo K and greets him while catching her breathe and bowing to him: "Good...morning...Kurosaki-kun. How...are...you?"
"Um...Hi, Inoue-san. '' Kurosaki responds back while sweat dropping at how much she forced herself to just say hello, and staring at her with his widen eyes. ''You didn't need to run to say that to me."
Orihime blushes a bit and answers him in a soft tone. "Sorry. It's just I don't want to let..."
She stops when she spots Rukia, Yugi and everyone else got closer. She quickly changes the subject and greets them too: "Good morning Rukia and everyone."
Jonouchi responds her morning by kneeling on one leg to her while holding her hand like a gentleman, except he still had heart-shaped eyes. "Good morning as well, Inoue-chan!"
Ichigo M was surprised by Jonouchi's weird reaction and then turned to Ichigo K as she asked him. "What's with Jonouchi. He's... always a jerk to me, but not with your girlfriend."
Ichigo K became shocked, and coughed roughly when she said the word "Girlfriend" and freaked him out badly. Everyone else overheard that, including Orihime who was blushing, and Rukia who was surprised while having her arms cross together.
"She's... my friend and just that. Besides, Jonouchi likes Inoue-san in a good, weird dumbass way except with her... you know." Ichigo K explained to the female Ichigo while trying to not look at her directly.
Ichigo M quickly looks at Jonouchi who is almost hypnotized by Orihime's breasts. Even Honda was hypnotized, except Ichigo K and Yugi with a small red blush on his cheeks who were the only ones with respect and not caring about those things. Danny, who never knew any girl to have them that big, was blushing but didn't look at them directly because he has respect and had a girlfriend back home. Anzu snaps her fingers to her two idiot friends who jump from that. As soon as that was over, both Rukia and Orihime noticed both Ichigo M and Danny. They asked Ichigo K at once. "Who are they?"
Ichigo K introduced them to both Ichigo Momomiya and Danny Fenton who were transfer to their temporary school. They didn't put any attention on Danny, but more to Ichigo M who has the same first name as Kurosaki.
Then Orihime introduces herself to Ichigo M while bowing. "Wow, another Ichigo. It's like the dream I had when there were two Kurosaki-kun, then three and four and five more plus a robot and a panda Kurosaki-kun. I'm Orihime Inoue, and nice to meet you another real Ichigo."
Ichigo M had a confuse face with a sweat drop on her head, actually being compared by imagining stuff by one girl who's both weird and nice. Seriously, this was a weird combination. She changes her expression and replies in a kind tone. "Nice to meet you too Orihime-san. And...I'm not a boy or a robot or a panda just to warn you."
Rukia also had a hidden sweet drop by Orihime's imagination. She also introduces her-self to Ichigo M too in her fake smiling tone. "Hi there too. I'm Rukia Kuchiki and nice that there's another, but girl-strawberry-girl Ichigo."
Ichigo M noticed that fake smile a mile away because of all the times she has worked with her friend and teammate Mint Aizawa and her boss Ryou Shirogane. However, she didn't say anything about of such as she responds kindly. "Nice to meet you as well, Rukia-chan."
Yugi then declared to everyone. "Okay, let's go inside now."
Jonouchi, Honda and Anzu noticed once again the Millennium Puzzle around Yugi's neck, which made them serious into finding out how he has it back. Jonouchi immediately asked Ichigo K in a serious tone. "Um... Kurosaki-san, could you show Danny around the school for a while with Orihime-chan and Rukia?"
Ichigo K was confused by that, first time he has ever said something so serious. Both Anzu and Honda both nodded in agreement. Not left with much of a choice, Kurosaki nodded as he replied. "Okay, but you owe me, Jonouchi. Let's go Danny-san and we can talk or something."
"Right." Danny answers as all three headed back to the school, but not before Danny asked the orange haired teen. "So Ichigo-san, are you Orihime's boyfriend?"
Ichigo K became furious while Orihime was blushing. This pretty much meant that he didn't answer the question as they left the group. Yugi turns to his friends to only see them all having an angry look. He got nervous, so did Ichigo M in a way too, feeling a little left out.
"Um... guys, what's with those looks?" Yugi asks kindly and nervously at the same time. Jonouchi points his finger to Yugi's puzzle and answers angrily. "You know what we mean."
Yugi looks where his best friend was pointing and then understood. This made Yugi all that nervous while blushing red. Yami sighed, noticing that his partner hasn't changed much.
"Yugi is that what we think it is." Anzu questions in a soft tone.
"Or just some fake one." Honda suggested, thinking that maybe Yugi missed the old puzzle.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow to what they were talking about. How could she? She still does not get it. Then the red haired noticed the soft smile over Yugi's face.
"It's the original, plus with an old friend back inside." Yugi announces to his three closest friends, who widen their eyes in surprised.
Ichigo still didn't get it and asked the group. "Can anyone please explain to this pretty young lady what's going on?"
Jonouchi was going to say something insulting that he forgot to tell Kurosaki to take Momomiya with them, not to mention forgetting the fact that she was still with them, however Yugi beat to the punch. "To be honest with you all until yesterday, I had an ancient, like now, 7000 year old Pharaoh's spirit inside my puzzle."
Ichigo blinked for a few moments, sinking in all she heard. And then she began to laugh at how ridicules it sounded. It got awkward when no one else was laughing about it, and she immediately stopped. Jonouchi paused for a moment for how stupid Momomiya was, until Yugi asked him nicely. "She needs to know. She'll know in time anyway, so I'll her now."
Both Anzu and Honda after her agreed with Yugi, knowing that Ichigo will be close by, she should know. Jonouchi glared angrily at the two, hating the fact that a girl they met yesterday would know something important about them, but he had no support so he had no choice but to stay quiet.
Yugi nodded as the Millennium Puzzle began to glow and Yugi changed into Yami Yugi. Ichigo was surprised by how Yugi became a bit older, and taller like last night. Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda stood in surprised to what they just saw, something they didn't expect to see in the same lifetime, and the young brown haired girl of the group blushed to think it was him. Yami Yugi turned to everyone, happy to once again see them, and said with a gentle smile. "It's been forever to see all of you again, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda."
All three immediately knew it was him, the real him who they believe would never see again. Anzu was the first to begin to shred tears, to actually believe it was him. And then they all rush to him, shouting out his name to actually see an old friend again. "Pharaoh Atem!"
They all immediately hug him, mostly Anzu while Jonouchi and Honda did theirs manly. The Pharaoh felt happy that he could see them again. Missing those closest to him is what the ancient spirit of a Pharaoh really got to him.
Ichigo was even more confused than before, not getting what was going on or if they went insane. Or… Yugi has a second personality? That kinda worried the pigtailed girl even more.
Anzu continues to hug the Pharaoh, until well she found it weird and just released him. She was so happy he was back, but then she thought about on how. "You're back. But... how?"
"Yeah. Last time we saw you were the last time when you enter that door and poof." Jonouchi added as they all remembered what happened during the Ceremonial Duel cave that both he and Yugi had their only and final duel.
"Me too. I mean, you went inside there to never return back here." Honda added
Yami Yugi: "First thing, something pulled me back to the Millennium Puzzle when Yugi got it back. Second, I thought the same thing too. And third..." He turns to Ichigo and tells her: "I'm sorry I couldn't introduce myself properly when we first met, Momomiya-san."
Ichigo nods, as she still didn't get it much, but does a little bit. It was Yugi, but not Yugi but someone else who was using his body… and has his face. She then asked the Pharaoh with a kitty face expression. "So... you're Yugi-kun, but not Yugi-kun, Yugi-kun."
Yami sweat drops as he nods, and then further explains everything to her. She finally understood, after getting it that he is a spirit inside of Yugi and responds kindly. "It's so cool that Yugi has this other him in this world. I now feel like Orihime said about more than two Ichigos. I have to be nice to her now on."
Yami Yugi made a small chuckle, seeing why Yugi cared about this new girl in his life, and told Yugi mentally. "She is funny and nice, exactly like you."
Yugi didn't answer to him, feeling a little embarrassed again. The Pharaoh finally says to all. "Anyway... now that you know, I'm leaving. Till next time everyone."
The puzzle glowed again and Yugi returned back to himself. Ichigo now got it that once the puzzle glows, then one of them is taking over. She still found it confusing, but she got it now. Yugi finally says with a smile to everyone. "I miss that. Sorry I didn't say anything, guys, and Ichigo-kun."
Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda didn't mind it. It wasn't that bad as they hoped to be. Ichigo didn't mind it either and tells him. "Nope, I kind of understand what it means when you have to keep a secret."
In fact, Ichigo meant what she said. After all, she is a Mew Mew and she can't tell anyone that she is one, especially the kind and sweet boy in front of her. Yugi smiles and thanks her. "Thank you Ichigo-kun."
She smiles back, but the guilt of not telling him about her secret identity was a little bad and wrong. She thought to herself. "He's honest to everyone he cares for. With me too, but... I wish I could just say that I'm a hero. That I'm Mew Ichigo. Maybe... But I cannot."
Ichigo's thoughts were interrupted by Jonouchi and his questions. "Okay, now explain how you got it back? We saw it went down in a hole with the other Millennium Items in that temple cave… place."
Now both Yugi and Ichigo stared at each other and then explained to them about last night, except the all about the Dragon Knight is Yugi thing. Both did mention who saved them, as well as the Mew Heroine, but nothing else. They all were shocked and Jonouchi choked a bit, of his own rage, while clinching his fist with an angry tone. "Great! Now there's a new enemy who's crazier than all the other freaks we dealt with and that cool Dragon Knight guy who's with that Cat Girl Mew Mew!"
Both Yugi and Ichigo tried to protest on him by saying in union. "It is just that we... We mean they… uh… maybe what you guys said."
They all didn't get it what the two were saying. Anzu sweat drop as she changed the subject. "Okay, let's not worry about that. Let's first go to class."
They all agree and went to inside the school. After getting in, two voices shouted at Ichigo. She turns around and sees that two other girls hug her. She notices them and shouts back with a smile, not expecting her best friends from her old school here. "Moe! Miwa! You guys, I miss you two. WAIT! How are you two here?"
Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda were surprised by this new event. They know little of those two who appeared. First is Moe Yanagida, the curly blond hair girl. The second is Miwa Honjo, the short straight haired brunette.
Yugi sweat drop as he says kindly to the two friends of Ichigo's. "I told you two to wait at class. Remember?"
All three friends turn around to him and Ichigo's school friends say. "Sorry Yugi-san. We just could wait forever."
Yugi sighs and says with a smile, not minding their action. "It's cool. It's better than I had planned."
Ichigo raised her eyebrow, confused by what Yugi said, and asked him. "What? So... this was your idea? How?"
"Remember that most students from your old school, Daikan Junior High School, came here and all that stories you told me about there and your friends yesterday." Yugi reminded the cherry haired girl who did remember she did tell him all about that during their walk. "I remember."
Yugi continues explaining while still blushing, a little. "Well... they went to the same class as me and Kurosaki-san. They told me about their closest friend they have and... I kind of found out it was you when we chatted yesterday. So, I call them last night to be ready to surprise you. This was like a special surprise gift for you."
Moe nods happily as she adds with her finger up. "Yeah... well it was like a surprise."
Miwa nods as well as she also added. "We didn't mean to ruin the plan you made for Ichigo-san."
Yugi wave his hand, still blushing, as he didn't mind it as long as Ichigo was happy. He responds happily. "Nay. It was still awesome in my opinion. Right Ichigo-kun?"
Ichigo couldn't believe that Yugi did all this for her. She was still just a stranger, but he thought of her as a very good friend. I guess that is just Yugi in a nutshell. So, she simply thanks him while blushing. "Thank you, Yugi-kun."
Yugi smiles and says to everyone. "It was nothing. Let's go everyone!"
Everyone follows Yugi back to inside. While heading to the classroom, Jonouchi took a quick look at Ichigo who was with her friends again and thought to himself with a curious, serious look. "I still can't believe that Yug would do this for... for... her! Doesn't he... it couldn't be. But... AW THIS IS HARD!"
Jonouchi began to think that maybe Yugi had a thing for Ichigo. But that couldn't be true, even he knew Yugi would never try to get a girl who's already taken, especially that one. He stopped thinking and whispered to Anzu. "Do you think this was more than a gift?"
Anzu gave Jonouchi a curious stare before even answering him. She was going to answer him, but then she hesitates. Maybe Jonouchi was right, but when is he right about such a fatigue matter like this. She shook it off and answered him in a somewhat unsure tone. "Um... he's Yugi. He's that type of person, a good friend."
Jonouchi just didn't say anything else till they arrived in their classroom. He was still pretty mad, but he had no choice but to allow this to be.
Yugi and company arrive in class. They met up with Ichigo K and company before entering. As soon as they came in, Ichigo K's over exciting friend Keigo Asano appears in front of Ichigo K. A brown hair, over happy friend says his greets to his friend with his hand up high. "GOOD MORNING, I-C-H-I-G-O!"
The only respond from Kurosaki was a smack hit with his left arm. He was then greeted by his other friend, Miziuro Kojima. A small, black hair boy says greets with a calm tone. "Morning, Kurosaki-san."
"Morning, Kojima-san." Kurosaki replies with a small smile. He then noticed that Keigo was twitching beside his legs, but he just ignored him. Miziuro looks at the group and says with a small smile as he return back to his phone. "It must be a one of those days when new people appear in our lives."
Without seeing it coming, someone send a powerful punch that whack Ichigo's head before he could tell, and was sent crashing to the ground. Everyone sweat drop of this, especially Ichigo M and Danny. The orange haired teen moans in pain as he asks to himself. "Was that a truck or another rock?"
He turns around and sees the angry girl who did it. Behind Ichigo K's back, a short black hair, brown eyes boyish girl was standing him behind him and greets him by stomping for the back of Kurosaki's head. She says in an angry tone. "Where were you, Kurosaki?!"
Ichigo K, still in pain, waves his right hand and greets her. "Oh, good morning Tatsuki. I'm not this surprised… uh… Right, I was supposed to come early today."
Tatsuki nods slowly and says with a less angry tone. "Dud! You forget a lot about everything lately."
She then notices the two new faces and asks Orihime. "Um... who's those two? New friends of Yugi?"
Orihime explains to her best friend that these are the new students of their class. Taksuki was surprised that there was another Ichigo in this world, let alone a girl. Tatsuki greets Ichigo M with a wave. "Wow, I hope you're not as stupid or idiot like our Ichigo. By the name, I'm Taksuki Arisawa."
Momomiya sweat drops as she bows to the strong girl in front of her and says. "Uh… thanks? I'm Ichigo Momomiya and I'm not. I'm gentle and nice. So is Kurosaki-san. He's strong and brave guy to admire, like Yugi-kun."
Tatsuki was happy that Ichigo M didn't think or thought of Ichigo K as a bad person, something only a friend can tell, but maybe a little much for calling him an amazing guy. Then Miziuro and the now conscious Keigo greet her and Danny too. Orihime was going to tell something to Yugi, about the flash of light of last night, until something grabs her around her chest, mostly her breasts. It was her other less of all friends, Chizuru Honsho who enjoys it being… a unique ''friend''. A short red hair girl with a red linger glasses. She greets her while still grabbing her. "Hello, Inoue-kun!"
Tatsuki quick knocks her with a powerful kick onto the floor which causes her to go unconscious. Orihime thanks her for the save. Then someone big and tall appears behind Ichigo K. Both Danny and Ichigo M noticed the giant as they yell at the orange hair teen. "Kurosaki-san/Kurosaki-kun, look out! Another thug is behind you!"
Ichigo K slowly turns around and sees him. Instead of defending himself or hitting him, he smiles and greets him. "Oh. Morning Chad!"
The wavy brown, tall, and Mexican descent teenager boy known as Chad greets him in a nice tone. "Good morning too Ichigo."
They start shaking each other hands which completely made both new students confused. Then Yugi and everyone, except the two starts greeting him. Yugi noticed how weird it was as he explains both Ichigo M and Danny. "Guys don't worry; Sado-san is cool and very nice person."
"He's my good and closest friend, Sado Yasutora or... Chad for short." Ichigo adds as Chad gives both new students. Momomiya now felt bad for letting his appearance get to her. She grins as she greets him and then Danny follow, knowing you never judge a book by its cover… or something else that Tucker once told him with Tech.
Kurosaki turns to Sado and says to him: "You came late too. The rest of us had to protect the new kid Danny with some thugs. They were easy, so no problem."
"Sorry. I took the wrong way to school." Sado explains himself as Ichigo K immediately didn't mind with a small smile. Momomiya notice how close Kurosaki was with all of his friends and how they all like each other. She thought to herself. "I wonder if all of Kurosaki-kun's friends are this kind."
Their conversation went on for 5 minutes as they were all talking about the big news that Ichigo K was not informed yet. And somehow, all his friends knew the news and it was the two new students, even Orihime knew of that.
"So Chad, what was the big news for today?" Kurosaki asks his giant friend if he knew. Before Sado could answer, another voice spoke and rude at Ichigo K. "I guess you forgot that the big news was staring at you, you idiot."
They all turn to someone next to Ichigo K who was not aware was there. He's a teenager boy with black/raven color hair and blue eyes wearing glasses. He is also wearing the classic Karahura Town's uniform like almost everyone in Kurosaki's school, except he had a tie around his neck.
Ichigo K twitched his left eye of his rage at the four eyes and declares angrily. "Don't be such an ass-know-it-all with me, Ishida."
Momomiya was curious on how this is turning out as he asks Sado. "Who's he? He seems cute."
Sado: "He's another friend of ours Uryu Ishida. There are problems between Ishida-san and Ichigo as long as they don't start fighting."
The teen known as Uryu says to Kurosaki with a calm tone while smirking, as he pulls up his glasses forward. "The two new friends you made are the big news. You are such clueless for those types of things, Kurosaki."
Ichigo got mad, thinking of those words as insults as he barks at him. "You really thing that I'm that clueless, YOU'RE CLUELESS Mr. Smart-Guy-with-goofy-glasses."
"Me? Clueless? I'm the genius of this and our own school.'' Uryu stated which further anger Ichigo K. The two were going to have their arguments, but Uryu stopped as he looked at everyone and said to Kurosaki. ''Let's just continue this conversation after class is over."
Ichigo K wanted to continue, but Rukia stops him by sweep kicking him on his legs, making it as an accident, as the orange haired teen drop on the ground once again. With Kurosaki down, Uryu greeted the new students. "Sorry about him. He's a very clueless friend of mine. I'm Uryu Ishida and... You two are?"
"I'm Danny Fenton. Nice to meet you." Danny introduces himself.
"I'm Ichigo Momomiya. You guys always fight like that?" Momomiya introduces herself as she added that question at the end. Uryu didn't answer her question, knowing it would end bad. Instead, he changes the subject asks. "So... you are the other Ichigo I heard of. Masaya-san sometimes told me a bit of a girl he likes."
"Really! You know my Masaya-kun!" Ichigo declared very happily and excited that Kurosaki's friend knows of her boyfriend. Uryu sweat drops as he was surprised that she is too close to him. He still answers her question. "He is the newest member of the school's handcrafting club, like Yugi-san."
He turns to Yugi who was helping Ichigo K to get him up. Uryu further continues saying. "He's not like Kurosaki, maybe better. I still think both of them are okay. Although Yugi is terrible in the class."
Yugi nervously grins, while he scratches the side of his cheek to think like that.
Ichigo M was more astonished and amazed by all of Ichigo K's friends, even that Yugi is also in one of Masaya's club. She begins to stare at him which Yugi notice and sweat drop, didn't want to tell her how bad he was in the Handcrafting Club. He only joined because he was asked to join.
Then Moe and Miwa notices Ichigo's look at Yugi. They both wonder if she likes him and just giggle at the thought of that. And Jonouchi heard the giggle and got him mad.
After a few more minutes the teacher, Misato Ochi enters the class room. She is a long brunette with glasses and a pile of papers on her arms and hands. Being a teacher in Karahura High School, she was gifted the chance to teach here for her class who came here.
She tells everyone, except Ichigo M and Danny to sit on their desk. She orders the two to come to the front of the whole class. She places the pile on her desk and says to the class: "Okay everyone. I know by now that everyone knows about the newest incident that has happen.''
Yugi, Ichigo, Jonouchi and Honda felt a little embarrassed as Misato-san was not a person to do anything dumb. "Anywho, we have two new students today. One is the exchange student and the other is going here now."
All students understood and waited for the first one to introduce themselves. First it was Danny, but he had trouble to write his name in Japanese. He wasn't so good, but made it to understand for everyone. He had wish that he let Jazz teach him more Japanese, but the Ghost Boy was needed. He introduces himself to everyone in a loud and nervous tone. "Hello... everyone! I'm Daniel Fenton, but everyone calls me Danny. I hope I can be good friends with you all."
"Excellent Danny-san. Okay, your turn Momomiya-san." Misato-san declared while pointing her finger up. Danny sweat drops as he goes to the corner, letting Momomiya to introduce herself.
Ichigo M wrote her name with ease and also introduced herself in a loud tone while bowing. "Hi! I'm Ichigo Momomiya! Yes, my first name is Ichigo, but more like a Strawberry Head. I like pizza, pancakes, fish, shopping and a lot of things too!"
"Good work Momomiya-san! I hope no one in this class confuses Momomiya-san with Kurosaki-san. We really don't need another one." Misato-san declares, ending her tone into a serious one, glaring at everyone. Everyone wanted to laugh, but they just nodded to not anger her. The teacher says to Momomiya and Danny. "I hope you two will enjoy your time here. I will do my best to teach you all what I know!"
They both thank her who made her happy. Misato-san looks around the classroom while holding up her finger on her chin, trying to find a spot for both new students. She didn't want them to sit next to Jonouchi, Honda or anyone who might interrupt them by work. She then snapped her fingers and said. "Danny-san, you go sit next to by Kurosaki-san to the left. But… don't talk to him much please."
She then concentrated on where Ichigo M should sit next to. There wasn't any desk next to Moe or Miwa so they were disappointed. She then saw a space to the perfect place and finally said. "And Momomiya-san, you will sit next to Mutou-san by the side too."
This made Ichigo M a bit happy that she will sit next to Yugi. With that, Danny went to his desk next to Ichigo K and Ichigo M went to her desk next to Yugi.
Yugi felt nervous, blushing, not thinking he would sit next to the cherry haired, pigtail girl. "Well... I guess we're neighbors now huh? Hehehe."
Momomiya smiles happily to hear that as she responds. "I'm glad too. I didn't want to sit next to Jonouchi. I prefer Anzu or Honda or Kurosaki-kun or Orihime-kun or anyone except that jerk."
Yugi wanted to say something to defend his best friend, but he just said so he wouldn't make her mad. "Don't worry about Jonouchi. He'll later accept you as a friend. He's a great guy, I know that."
Ichigo M gives Yugi a unbelieving look, not believing that would happened, but just nodded to not hurt Yugi's feelings. "I'll believe you… I hope so."
With that, Misato-san started the class with mathematics, which Momomiya was not looking forward to, nor was half the class.
A few hours later...
Somewhere in the center of Tokyo, there stood a huge black building with grayish windows. The corporation and headquarters' title spelled out ''Dark L.E. Enterprise''. Being one of the major businesses in trade-in war solution and human resource, L.E. Enterprise is all about helping the human kind… or is it?
On the top floor of the last room, there was a dark door. The other side of it was a different dimension of many different rooms which the hall leads to a room. The room was darker than most other rooms, with big, long width windows that show the outside of Tokyo from below. Watching down on the city, Dark Leader Dragon was staring at all the tiny size humans that were walking around like ants. The Dark Lord was still furious of last night, remembering the pieces of how Yugi became the Dragon Knight, crush him with the help of the Cat Girl, and humiliated him… just how his father would have done. ''… That brat.''
''There is no need to worry, my Lord. '' A voice spoke from the shadows. From there, something walked out from the darkness. It was a dark armor knight with purple, red and gray liner trimmings with a dark red/purple outline cape. He knee to the Dark Lord with his bright, evil red eyes.
"Naturally. So how are things going, Dark General Knight?" The Dark Lord asks as the dark being known as Dark General Knight replied to his master. "Everything is checked and accounted for, my master Lord. Except..."
Dark Leader Dragon quickly interrupted him by holding his right claw in front of him. "Our new problem. Correct? Yugi Mutou, the newest pesty Dragon Knight."
Dark General Knight got up in his feet, soon follows it with a nod, and says with disgust of the mention of his lord's problems. "Please my Lord, let me finish that worm of a human. Compare to anyone in your army, I can destroy that pest of a knight."
The Dark Lord grinned, impressed that his fateful general has the guts to deal with Yugi with such determination, almost amusing if he would do it or die. He didn't need his best soldier dying as he said. "There is no need, at the moment. Allow my personal minions, the Dark Dragon Hunters, to deal with the brat. If he can beat them, then maybe I'll send you instead."
Dark General Knight didn't like that. He knows quite well that his lord has not yet regained his full powers yet, and not taking the matter of the Dragon Knight as no big deal anger him. "But..."
The Dark Lord interrupts his loyal servant with one evil glare that was able to paralyze the general. "You will obey my plans as order, general. I'll only send you if my pets fail. However... I highly doubt that. Come out my pets!"
From the shadows, appears a few of the same half humanoid dragons that all looked like skinner and scrawny versions of the Dark Lord. They all asked while kneeling down to their master. "What is your wish, my Lord."
Dark Leader Dragons lifts his right claw towards the window, pointing his finger to from away, as he orders them. "You all become a five squad team of 20 of all your best to find and... DEVOUR the Dragon Knight BRAT, Yugi Mutou! He will be at Domino High School. And... No witnesses if you may, which I demand!"
They all began to lick their mouths, enjoying the pleasure to eat human flesh. Dark Leader Dragon shouts proudly like a tyrant. "Go! Eat them as much as you all can!"
As soon as he finished, they all disappeared into the shadows. He makes a small laughed as he turns back to the window and sees them running on the shadows of all dark alleys.
Dark General Knight wasn't so convince this was a good idea to set the savages of his lords' clones like that. "Is that a good idea, my Lord?"
"Of course it is. Like to free you and create this little front for our mission, one of many missions to destroy Tokadul Corp, the so-called helping human kind resource services.'' Dark Leader Dragon declares, as his tone roughen when he mention the name ''Tokadul'', making him angry. ''If I didn't start these plans first before going after the Dragon Sword, I wouldn't have to fight against that kid and that pink haired Cat Girl."
The evil general agreed with his lord that if he went to get the sword first after anything else, he wouldn't be dealing with the revive Dragon Knight. "I know, my lord. I should have been there to finish both at them beside your side."
Dark Leader Dragon shook his head, as the battle wouldn't change much even with his general's help as he disagrees. "No need, my loyal general. You do your thing and let me do mine.''
''Also, find me all about that brat so I can destroy him next time when I fully recover. And... Also about that Cat Girl Mew Mew too." The Dark Lord asks, in curiosity, as his general obeys while bowing. "As you command, my lord."
The Dark Lord then bursts into menacing laughs, couldn't wait to see the destruction of the Dragon Knight.
Meanwhile...
On a roof top of a Tokyo building, Naruto Uzumaki was looking at all of Tokyo with both his arms crossed with a confident smile on this town. He was actually amazed by the size of the city, which he referred as a village. He was remembering back about his new mission to this foreign land.
Flashback...In the Hidden Leaf of Konoha...
Naruto had just entered the Hokage's office. In the office, there were two women in there.
One was a blond, ponytails hair on her back woman with a violet rhombus on her forehead, with brown eyes and wearing light pink lipstick. She was dressed in a grass green robe with a symbol of a gambler on her back underneath a gray, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves which shown her sizable breasts. She was also wearing low heel sandals and same color polish fingernails and toenails. She was Lady Tsunade, the fifth Hokage of the Konoha.
The other is her assistant, Shizune. She had black hair and black eyes who was wearing a long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings on her dress. She was also wearing low heel sandals. She was holding Tsunade's pet pig, Tonton. A pink pig which had dark shade cheeks and had been wearing a pearl necklace and a red jumper.
They both were expecting him to appear soon. Naruto was the first to speak. "Yo Granny Tsunade, what's the problem?"
Tsunade had both her hands, holding each other by their fingers in a hand gesture, and finally spoke with a small smile on her face. "Naruto, I'm glad that you came."
Naruto was pretty unsure why she called her. It made him curious, and made him almost confused. He finally asked in surprise by this. "Really? Wow, I'm honor, I think. So, what's the emergency?"
Shizune spoke in a serious tone. "We have a mission for you, Naruto-san."
Tonton added in her pig like saying of yes in a serious tone (I don't what to write for this).
"I know it's early for you to have another mission after the ''Whole getting Sasuke back accident mission'' went wrong, but it will help you get back to your feet to save him again." Lady Tsunade stated to the Genin.
Naruto clinched his fist as hard as he could, remembering how useless he was when he could not save his friend. He then declared loudly with pride and hope. "I know I will save Sasuke. Even if I have to fight him like in past, I will save him and return him back home!"
This made Tsunade, Shizune and Tonton happy to hear that the young Shinobi hasn't going to give up. Naruto then asked with a calmer tone. "So... what kind of mission is it?"
"This mission will be from a D-A rank mission." Tsunade calmly informs him, which got Naruto a bit nervous and asked. "How can a low rank mission go up like that high?"
"Because this mission might become just nothing or go bad all the way to go worst." Shizune added.
This didn't help him understand anything. Tsunade then declared in a serious tone. "As you might know, we are not in our own world or timeline. All of our own shinobi world, every village was teleported in this world. I ordered that most shinobis and villagers around the Fire Nation to not leave their homes until we understood this problem. I sent only the best of the village's ninjas to get info of this world. We learned that we are in a world that helped us in a few times in the past. But... it changed because most people kept everything about us in secret. So, we have to be careful that we don't make any more enemies."
This made Naruto completely surprised and astonished by all he just heard. It all started with that light in the sky, and since yesterday, there were problems and signs of a large village from far ahead.The fifth continued saying. "Your mission will be leaving the village and entering a city known as Domino City; the one closes to us. Your mission is a two part to a double decision. You will check the surroundings of that town. It's hard to understand this new world, but let's hope you will. The second part is that you will find a certain sword."
Shizune handed over a scroll over to Naruto as he opened it. Inside was an image of a sword with a figure of a dragon between the blade and the hilt. Naruto, who wondered what some weapons or Justus are awesome, this sword wasn't that amazing to his expectation, except the dragon figure and the long ribbon on the base hilt which both looked awesome.
Tsunade frowned by the fact that she couldn't sent someone like Kakashi instead of Naruto, but also because of something else. Not to mention Naruto was someone hard to get him emotional on something that seems lame. She took a breath in and continued explaining. "This sword is in possession of either a great hero known as the Dragon Knight. Or... by an evil being known as the Dark Lord. We have no Intel on who has the sword. You will find the sword and bring it back to the village if it's possessed by a Dark Lord. If it's the Dragon Knight, let him know where you are from and leave without the sword. Because we don't know who is who, you will have to fight that person. Try not to hold back."
Naruto still didn't get it all, only got some pieces. Even so, he needed his team for something like this. He asked Lady Hokage. "So... should I get Sakura-chan, Sai and Captain Yamato for this mission."
Tsunade lifted her right hand and wiggled her finger left and right to say no. She proclaimed in a serious tone while glaring at Naruto seriously. "No. This isn't any other mission, Naruto. This is a sole mission."
This also made Naruto a lot more serious. Lady Tsunade then released her hands and put them over her desk, staring at Naruto, as she declared in a threatening tone. "The reason why... is because to see how far you will go for Sasuke. If you refuse or fail, you will not be only to ever be part in any mission that will be to rescue, help or even search for Sasuke Uchiha. Your choice."
This made Naruto both shocked and enraged than he had ever been before. This made him so angry by the fact that he would lose his chances to go after Sasuke, and if that would happen, he would never be able to save him. Without thinking twice, he barked out. "If it's to prove my will to save my friend then... I WILL ACCEPT THIS MISSION WITHOUT FAILURE!"
She just smiled and ordered him. "Then what are you waiting for, you Idiot! Your mission starts... now! And go luck."
He nodded seriously and left running out of the office and the village in a hurry. He grabbed all his scrolls and ninja weapons as much as he could for this mission before heading out.
End of Flashback...
Naruto was looking around to find that sword. He refuses to stop until he finds it, although he was scared of looking down on the ground where there were strange mini tanks (cars). While searching above the rooftops, he spots something weird. He sees weird looking monster-like dragon freaks in a dark alley. They were running to somewhere in a hurry. Naruto thought it was his imagination, but it wasn't. He thought to himself as he rubbed his eyes if maybe he was being trick. "They can't be real. But... what if those are minions of this Dark Lord guy."
However, Naruto wasn't so sure. He remembers from his chat with the Hokage that the Dragon Sword might be in the hands of the Dark Lord. Plus with those scary things, he had to amuse they were his minions for sure! That's where he comes up with a good idea that results him to snap his fingers from his right hand and declares aloud. "I should follow those things! Wherever they're going, must be where that Dark Lord might be. No... Will be there. Yosh, I got myself a lead to that sword. HERE I COME!"
So, with a big leap to the next rooftop, Naruto follows that group of evil monster to wherever they are heading. He was too determinate to stop and think things over, but he was certain he won't lose this mission no matter what.
Commercial Break:
Yugi: I have a bad feeling something bad will happen soon.
Naruto: I am going to find that Dragon Sword and save Sasuke! No matter what!
A few hours later… during Lunch:
The first half of classes was over. Ichigo M, who has just waked up from her long cat nap on her desk, was curious about what time it was. She yawned like a cat and turned her head, to freak out that Yugi was still sitting in his desk, and looking outside for some odd reason. Ichigo notice the same thing when they were walking yesterday. ''… Yugi-kun, you alright?''
Yugi got surprised as he turned to face her, and just smile nervously. "Yeah, I was. It's lunch time.''
''Uh... Ichigo-kun, do you always fall asleep like that? Especially like a cat?" Yugi then added, noticing how long Ichigo was taking her long nap all of a sudden in the middle of class. Not to mention he notice she was sleeping like a house cat.
"Oh...?" She stated unsurely, blushing because this was the first time Yugi saw her fall asleep, worst as a cat with the purring and scratching with one hand. She just says with a nervous grin. "I sleep like that. I know it's weird, but it's my thing. I'm a normal human after all!"
She starts fake laughing it, hoping her new friend wouldn't notice it. Yugi sweat drops a bit, but decides to be nice as he also laughs too. "Don't worry, I not perfect too. I have this Dragon-DNA in me now and a 7000 year old pharaoh in my puzzle. Besides... you're kinda cute when you sleep like that."
This made Ichigo happy, blushing a reddish shade of pink and thanks him. "Thank you Yugi-kun! You are just wow!"
Yugi nods as he stands up from his desk and declares. "Let's go get lunch. I'm hungry today."
Ichigo nods in agreement and says with an open smile as she roses up from her desk. "Me too! I so want some fish. Let's go!"
At the cafeteria, Yugi and Ichigo were on the line, a long one sadly. Ichigo had hope they would serve lunch in the classroom like her school did, which was a disappointment. They got a tray of simple food. The lunch server gave each student a fried fish on their tray. When it was Ichigo's turn before Yugi's, she looks at the fish and bites it before even being place on her tray. This stunned and freaked out all those who saw that. Yugi, in the other hand, wasn't that much freak out except he was sweat dropping on why a girl would grab her lunch like that. Ichigo got nervous yell as she bowed her head. "Thank you so much!"
She wanted to run away, as usual when her cat-like moments get to her, but she didn't want Yugi to feel awkward by her. Yugi was still a little nervous to ask for the fish so he got a sandwich. He asks Ichigo when he left that post. "Ichigo-kun, is that another weird thing about you?"
"...Yes. It's... cool, right?" Ichigo answers Yugi nervously, sweat dropping and shaking her tray. Yugi nods nervously himself, trying to be as polite to her as he nods. "Uh… sure. Why not! I would do that if I was hungry too. Hehehe!"
Ichigo smiles because he understood her, in a way, and also secretly sighs of relief too. Yugi look around, trying to spot Ichigo's friends and even Masaya but with no luck. "Where's your friends and... Masaya-san?"
"Masaya-kun is in kendo practice. Moe and Miwa are in a club and because I don't have anyone else here, I'm eating alone today." Ichigo said in a disappointing tone. Yugi felt bad for her, and he couldn't let her eat alone.
Yugi shakes his head and protest. "No way! You're going to eat with me and the others."
Ichigo was surprised to hear that as she asked him happily. "Really! I can! Thank you so much Yugi-kun!"
Yugi smiles happily as he nods. "No problem! Let's go up on the roof."
Ichigo stopped for a moment, surprised that this school there was a rooftop to eat one's lunch like in her school. She asks in surprised. "You can eat up on the roof? It's like my old school, except I didn't always eat there.''
"Well you should. Come on, let's go." Yugi says as he points his thumb up to the roof. Ichigo agrees and they both head up there. Before going up there, they see another pair of stairway to the roof. Ichigo got curious by that other pair and asked Yugi. "Are those stairs to the roof too?"
"They are, but only your father has the keys to open the door." Yugi revealed that Ichigo's father had them. Ichigo then got disappointed, but knew it was supposed to be as such for good reasons, maybe. She was curious though why those stairs were locked, but it was for the best. Along the way, they met up with Danny who was coming towards them with a brown lunch bag on his hand. It must have been an American way to have lunch in a bag. He asked them in a smooth tone. "Hey guys, you're going to lunch together?"
This made them to blush, Yugi trying to ignore that as he replies nervously. "Us? No. Maybe... yes. You want to eat to lunch with us on the roof."
Danny was surprised to hear that and asked in questionable tone. "You guys can eat up on the roof?"
They were surprised to hear that and Ichigo asked him. "You never ate up on a roof of a school in America."
Danny begins to chuckle and responds. "Nope. We wish we did. The use for the roofs in a school was for floods, earthquakes, or when something is attacking it. Besides that, no such thing."
Both Yugi and Ichigo felt bad that he never got a chance to eat there, so Yugi says in a kind tone. "Well you'll be the first American to eat up there. It'll be fun, a blast really."
Danny thought careful about it. He has been one to be tricked easily by new strangers, but these guys were nice enough to be trusted. He never got the chance to respond as Ichigo interrupts everything else with a big smile as she grabs on Danny's arm. "Yeah. Go join us Danny-chan!"
Danny felt awkward as he didn't want to be rude to his new friends. So he smiles back and replies. "Okay! You made up my mind. Let's go!"
With that, the three went up to the roof. Up there, Kurosaki and company were chatting and Yugi's friends were waiting for Yugi. Jonouchi who was hungry couldn't wait anymore or he'll die of not eating. He was already starving since the second class.
"Where the heck is Yug?! I'm starving and he's still not here! What's taking him so long?!" Jonouchi said in a grungy tone, annoyed that he has to wait until his best friend comes so he can eat something tasty and good.
"Relax, Jo. He's just a bit late. We can wait a little longer more." Honda tried to reason with his friend to be patient. However, Jonouchi was not one to be patient, especially about eating so his stomach doesn't get mad. "A LITTLE MORE! I can't even stop my stomach from growling."
His stomach was really growling and his face was getting paler by every second. Anzu couldn't laugh for that, even if she wanted to. She was staring at the stair way and saw Yugi coming up. She smiles as she tells Jonouchi who was trying to calm his stomach. "Hey Jonouchi, here comes Yugi from the stairs."
Jonouchi quickly turns to the stairway and spots Yugi as he says with a happy, smiling face and at the same time his face color turns back to normal. "Yes! Yug's here! Happy days, HAPPY..." His happy smile and face soon disappeared and changed into an upset and frowning face when Momomiya appears behind Yugi. Then Danny, but he likes him better than Ichigo M.
Yugi shouts to his friends while waving. "Hey guys, you don't mind if Ichigo-kun and Danny-kun can eat lunch with us?"
Both Anzu and Honda replied back with thumbs up. "Of course not!"
Then all three arrives and sit around them. Ichigo M wanted to sit next to Yugi, but Jonouchi was next to him, and also protecting Yugi from her. So she sat next to Anzu and Danny with Honda. Jonouchi finally started eating his lunch at rapid speed by how hungry he was. Everyone was amazed by this, more than usual. Jonouchi, now his stomach fill up, was took a quick glare at Ichigo M for a few times. Momomiya notices one of his glares, a little angry for that, and then whispers to Anzu. "Why is Jonouchi a jerk to me? I never did anything bad to him, except those kicks which he deceived for being a jerk to me."
Anzu looks at Jonouchi, somehow understanding that maybe he feels threatened about her presence around Yugi. She answers her by whispering back. "He's not like this. He probably will later accept you. He does that with new people, but it takes time... sometimes. Anyway... Yugi seems to like you."
Ichigo M was surprised by what she said about Yugi, and responds back while blushing. "Well, he thinks I'm an okay girl."
"Well yeah, but he really likes you. I mean, I never seen him do something like this with other girls. Maybe me, but never like this." Anzu whisper carefully to Ichigo's ear, admitting that Yugi has never, ever, done something so kind like this with any other girl… well maybe Rebecca, but pass her, no one else.
This made the pigtailed haired Ichigo to wonder about the gestures that Yugi has done for her. Jonouchi did notice a look Momomiya had when she gives Yugi a quick look. This got the blond-headed teen something to think about and worried about something. He asks to only Yugi. "So Yug, do you like that Momomiya as just a friend?"
This made Yugi completely unease and unexpected and he couches hard on the question. Jonouchi raises an eyebrow as he continues saying. "Because if you do, why her? I mean... why her?! HER!"
"Well... Ichigo-kun is just my friend and... Only my friend.'' Yugi responds, taking in a small breathe in and then out, unsure if he should tell his best friend about his feelings towards the girl he sort of likes. He wasn't sure himself, but he does like her and he needed to tell someone. ''I like her, in a way, but... she's too good to me. I don't want to ruin my new friendship with her."
Jonouchi still didn't like his responds. I mean it was Yugi and he has to respect his choice, but this still felt bad and unbelievable that he likes her. He just has a feeling that this girl is dangerous in some way or another. He just sighs as he turns to Momomiya, giving her a glare which she notices and tells her in a serious tone. "Even if you are sitting with us, it doesn't mean you are a part of this group."
This made Ichigo M upset by his words, taking it as both an insult and a threat. She replies angrily to him by defending her honor. "Why do you HATE me?! I didn't do anything to you and you treat me like some... some... You're a jerk!"
She was about to leave, but Yugi comes in between the two and tries to stop the fighting nervously. "Stop fighting you two! Ichigo-kun is a good friend to me and she is part of this crew, no matter what!"
Ichigo M felt a little happy that Yugi would defend her, even against his own best friend. Danny was amazed by how much Yugi stuck up for anyone he cares about. Jonouchi just moans as it still didn't felt good. And that's how he got by the head by Kurosaki's foot. Ichigo K says in his cool, serious tone while giving the blond-headed idiot a threating glare. "Don't be an ass with her or I will make you stop, by force."
Jonouchi got scared by Kurosaki's glare and slowly nods his head, afraid of what he might do to him. Then Rukia and Orihime appear by sitting next to Ichigo M. They both knew Momomiya must have felt a bit uncomfortable sitting where Jonouchi was, yet this felt awkward too because this was a new person they just met today. Orihime began to talk because she was determined to make a good appearance to a new friend. "So... how are you Momomiya-san?"
"Uh... fine?'' Ichigo M replied, a little nervous herself because she recalled how weird Inoue is, but she means well. She takes a breath in and continues on.''I guess. I really like it here though."
"Well... uh... I..." Orihime was having a hard time getting the words together. She actually felt even more nervous than Ichigo was. She soon found it awkward to even continue, and that made Rukia not happy. She knew Jonouchi was a moron, and has observe the moron to be even more of a goof than Kurosaki would be. Rukia takes command and speaks out like herself. "Please Orihime, we both know that Jonouchi is treating her that badly. I mean, it might take time for him to like her. But right now, this is just ridiculous! He is an idiot; he will wait until both heaven and hell die off before he admits that they are just friends and not strangers or enemies."
Momomiya was surprised that someone else she just met today would defend her. She did expect seeing Rukia's real self out like miles away. Both she and Mint were almost too alike, almost being the word. And somehow, she liked the low heighted girl. With that said, Orihime finally says with a bit more confidence thanks to Rukia's part. "You're right Rukia-san! Momomiya-chan, if you like for tomorrow, you can sit with me, Tatsuki and Rukia. We don't mind, the more the merrier. Although Tatsuki is off in her club, but when she is free she'll join us!"
Ichigo M felt a bit relief and happy that she made good friends this fast. She turns to Yugi who was hearing the conversation. She felt bad to say yes because she did like getting to know more on Yugi, but before she says anything, Yugi slowly nods his head to say that he's okay. He too doesn't feel right on how Jonouchi is acting out with her, and prefers this better than seeing Ichigo feel like a distant stranger. With that, Ichigo M agrees with smile. "Yeah, I love to eat lunch with you guys."
Momomiya then had another thing to say as she turned to Anzu and asked her. "You want too? Please!"
Anzu was shocked that she asked her too, so she responded with some nervously blushing. "Well, sometimes it's good to be away with the same old friends, guy friends. Okay, I'm in too!"
Both Orihime and Rukia were glad that now they have two more friends to eat with. Jonouchi was thrilled that he won't see Momomiya or hear the nagging from Anzu, but somehow bad because… something. He doesn't feel right for that.
Ichigo K blinks in surprise to see this change of events. Who knew the girls would stick together, and that would be bad for the guys of the group. "Wow. Now the girls are sticking together. I'm not saying we should do the same."
"I like that idea. I like you guys, but I also like Ichigo-san and Anzu-san too. '' Danny liked the idea of the guys sticking together, and then he grinned at Kurosaki. ''And also Kurosaki-san's girlfriend and sister."
''HEY! Wait, which is which?'' Kurosaki was yelling in rage at Danny's comment, and then lost all meaning with who's who. Danny rubbed his head as he had no idea either.
"I don't blame you." Honda declares with a sweat drop over his head, thinking how annoying Kurosaki is about girls… well dating them at the least.
Before they could say anything else, the bell rang. Danny asks like he knew what that meant. "Does that bell mean that lunch is over like it is in America?"
Yugi nods as he finishes his lunch. "Yip. So...I guess our lunch is over."
The cherry haired Momomiya was glad it was over. She never had a good and an awful half time of lunch. With that, everyone left their spots and headed back to class. Jonouchi was first to leave, then everyone except Yugi, Danny and Ichigo M. Ichigo felt bad for what had happened, well mostly it was Jonouchi's fault, but she still felt responsible. She thanks her kind friend. "Thank you for… trying to be nice, Yugi-kun."
Yugi blushes as this was his fault for not expecting Jonouchi would act like that. "No problem, again. I just don't want you to feel depressed because Jonouchi is sometimes... well… uh…"
Momomiya interrupts him with an angry tone. "A big, giant, freak and awful jerk of another jerk!"
Yugi now felt pretty bad, because Jonouchi isn't always like that. And that made Ichigo bad to even say that, a bit.
"...Sometimes, I guess." Ichigo adds with a small smile. This made Yugi smiled too and then both began to laugh a bit. Ichigo started to stare at Yugi with puffy eyes as Yugi stares back with a smile. Danny raised an eyebrow to what he was just watching. He wasn't one to notice things like that, but there was something between this Ichigo and Yugi. He was going to say something like if those two were just friends, until Masaya Aoyama appears in his school uniform. "Hi, Momomiya-san, Yugi-san, Danny-san."
The two stops looking at each other, causing the pigtail haired girl to blush a bit and turns to her beloved boyfriend. Ichigo M says happily to see him as she rushes to him. "Aoyama-kun! I'm glad to see you. How did you know that I was here?"
Masaya smiles as he responds. ''I'm just glad I found you here.''
Yugi felt pretty uncomfortable to be around those two because… it felt strange. Love was one thing Yugi will never understand. Even so… there was something about them that he liked… but at the same time… there was something he didn't like about Masaya.
Even since he met him, Masaya always seem to be a good person, but something was off about him. It's like a weird, cold feeling. Dark but something else much eviler. Yugi didn't understand what it was, but it was best to not doubt his senses. Even Yami could feel it when he reappeared behind Yugi in his spirit form. During the time that the Pharaoh appeared, Danny's mouth began to exhale white, blueish breathe. He quickly looks around, but sees nothing, nothing as in ghosts.
Masaya notices something off about Danny as he asks him. "Is something wrong, Danny-san."
"Huh?'' Danny mutters as he snaps out from his worries about a ghost and notices his new friends looking at him. ''Uh... No, nothing."
"Okay.'' Masaya nods as he puts his attention back to Ichigo. ''So anyway...I wanted to eat lunch with you, Ichigo, but I couldn't find you at the cafeteria. So I thought maybe you were up on the roof and... Here we are."
"Thanks for trying to find me. I was eating with Yugi when you had practice. It was... fun, in a way." Ichigo tells her lover while blushing madly. She didn't want to tell Masaya that her lunch would have been better but it was somewhat okay too. Masaya nods with a smile, believing her as he couldn't stop staring at her smiling face.
"I'm sorry, maybe next time when I'm off.'' Masaya replies back which made Ichigo very happy to hear. She understands he has a lot of things to worry about and accepts waiting for him.
''I got to get going. I'll see you later after school, Momomiya-san." Masaya says as he turns around and waves as he runs off. Ichigo continues to blush as she waves at him while shouting. "Bye Masaya-kun! I'll see you later too!"
All three watched as Masaya leaves in a hurry to his next practice or class. Yugi still had this new weird feeling about Masaya, yet he trusts him because Ichigo trusts him too. Ichigo turns to Yugi, feeling bad that he ignored him when she was talking to him. That was when Yugi felt something off, something besides Masaya; something evil.
"Yugi-kun, I'm sorry but thanks for letting me to eat lunch with everyone else for today. Hehe, you're a nice person and I can repay you." Ichigo thanks Yugi again for what he did. However, expecting a 'no problem' or something, Yugi didn't answer her. She raised an eyebrow like if he was off-world.
"Yeah. I'm glad too, thanks Yugi.'' Danny also does his thanking to the tri-color haired teen, and then turns to Ichigo. ''So Ichigo-san, why does Jonouchi..."
He was interrupted by Yugi who just ran up to the edge of the roof. Both Ichigo and Danny raised their eyebrows as they exchanged a curious look to what was with Yugi. They both walk up to him, noticing he looks down and stare at something horrible with a spooked out expression. Both new students were a little worried to what was freaking him out and looked down, seeing what he was seeing in horror.
What all three saw were monstrous, dragon-like humanoids, entering the school from the front line. Then the alarms from the school began to rang like crazy. Yugi thought to himself and Yami with a very worried, scared look. "This...is...bad. Very bad."
Two minutes ago...
Shintaro Momomiya was doing some paper work in his office. He hasn't gotten used to this much work since he left his old tiny boxed office for this one request with the title he was given to his dead father, to control Tokadul Corp and not let it die. It was incredible to do all this, but even he found it dragging and tiring because he not only had to work double as much as he did before, but he can't even use the money and resources of the company.
He yawns as he wants to sleep a bit and did as he lay on his head, until the school phone rang. He answers it and gets a loud scream in the other line.
"Ouch! Who's this?" Shintaro said as he plucked his finger in his ear for how painful the scream was.
It was a teacher, telling him that he saw outside, through the window, about some group of weird looking creatures had invaded the school. This widened Mr. Tokadul's eyes so wide that he has seen a ghost. He wouldn't believe that nonsense, but this was not nonsense. He then presses a red button which started some alarms and began to speak at his microphone and declares with a serious tone. "Attention all students and everyone else. Please do not allow or let anyone leave the school or classrooms because the school has been..."
The rest that he was going to say was cut off because one of the Dark Dragon Hunters cut out all wires with their sharp claws, disabling all power.
Everyone heard the message, except the last bit. Even though he didn't finish, all teachers understood. Masaya who got back to the changing room heard the speaker of the threat. The only thing he was worried about of was Ichigo, but his coach wouldn't allow him or anyone to leave. This only made Masaya even more worried.
1 minute ago...
Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda heard what was going on, as they were worried about Yugi who was still not here. Ichigo and Danny as well. Jonouchi couldn't wait as he wanted to find to find Yugi. However, Misato stopped him from leaving and said to everyone while preventing Jonouchi from leaving. "I forbid anyone who leaves this room or suspension will be force to all."
Everyone else just sat in their sits, except Jonouchi. So she asked Ichigo K with a small grin. "Kurosaki, can you help me. Please!"
"Fine, but if he leaves, don't suspend the guy." Ichigo agrees to help. She nods in agreement and Ichigo quickly pins the blond-headed idiot onto the ground while sitting over him.
"This is just... PREFECT! Oh no, I mean... this SUCKS!" Jonouchi yell in pain and sarcastically, hating this very much. Even if that was funny, Anzu was still worry about Yugi.
Back with Yugi, Ichigo M and Danny...
The three were worried on what to do. Yugi knew he had to say something, but he preferred if someone else did. He hated being the leader, but he had no choice. So Yugi spoke first in a calm yet serious tone. "Okay, this is not an everyday thing."
"It is with me." Danny mutters to himself with fighting ghosts, although this was kinda fresh and new.
Yugi didn't want to ask what his American friend meant and just continues saying. "Okay. Danny-kun, you go somewhere and hide for a while until those things leave. I and Ichigo-kun will call for help."
Danny was ready to disagree with that idea, but he thought for a second that this was a good chance for 'Going Ghost' and said in agreement. "Okay, I'll go somewhere. But... you two better be careful."
Yugi gives him a thumb up and says with a smile. "You bet we will! Just get going."
With that, Danny runs off to 'hide' while his two new friends stay behind. Ichigo got worry about all of this too, knowing this could be the Dark Lord's doing. She tried to take out his cellphone to call for real help from her pockets but forgot one fatal detail as she said in a silly tone. "Opps. I forgot my cellphone was burn into ashes by that Dark Lord freak! Do you have yours?"
"Nope. I forgot mines back home. But..." Yugi then smiled and took out the Dragon Sword from behind his waist. Ichigo was stunned of amazement that he had it with him, no less behind his back which must have hurt. "You bought it with you? Does it bother you?"
"Why not? And yes it does.'' Yugi answers Ichigo's questions, expecting this would happen even during school. And not to mention it did bother his back to carry that sword from his waist. ''I knew something would happen. I've done this kind of thing before."
Ichigo was amazed by how smart Yugi was to think two steps ahead. She was… in a way if it meant she has to have her Mew Pedant with her always. "He's so not like me, he is even better than me."
"Ichigo, go somewhere safe too. This won't take long!" Yugi declares with a smirk as the Millennium Puzzle began to glow as Yami took over. The Pharaoh then said to Ichigo with a confidant smile. "We'll be fine. We wouldn't want to see you being use like last night."
Ichigo understands his… well their concern for her as she agrees with them. "I'll be fine too. Please be okay, Yugi-kun. And you too, Yami-san. I know you two will be fine."
Yami Yugi waves good luck and runs down to the stairs, leaving her behind. After a moment, Ichigo got serious as she wouldn't let her new friend fight this problem alone. "But it doesn't mean you won't do it alone."
Ichigo soon runs off to the edge of the rooftop, and jumps off the platform. Normal humans wouldn't leave through a fall that high, but Ichigo wasn't a normal human as she lands on her feet. She runs off to find a safe spot to transform into Mew Ichigo.
Back down in the entrance...
The last group of Dark Dragon Hunters had just entered the school to only be stop be a kunai that hit the ground next to them. The five of them turns around and sees no one. When they turn back, they see someone in front of the doors to the hall. It was Naruto Uzumaki with both his arms crossed with a confident smirk written over his face.
"Those who stand in our way... WILL BE DEVOUR!" One of the hunters roars as all the others join him in a howl.
Naruto points his finger with his angry look and shouts out "What did you say?! Because when freaks like you all mess with nonthreatening people like this... school I think? Then you mess with Naruto Uzumaki!"
"Die or be eaten!" Another hunter threatened Naruto who found it funny. ''I prefer eating ramen please.''
All the Dark Dragon became furious as they all charged at him. Naruto smirks as he charges at them back with a kunai in his right hand. He quickly dodges all their claw attacks, and their fangs which Naruto blocks with his kunai. Then he sent out his counterattack with quick punches and kicks. Then he throws some shurikens at them which hit all five at once. Each one dropped dead and were dead, however, their dead bodies instead turn into a pile of dark shadowy ashes. Naruto freaked out at the sight of that, never seeing that ever.
"EH! How the heck do dead, monster like things turn into ashes like that!'' Naruto asks himself in shocked as he backs away with some terror. He found it truly disturbing how they even did that. He thought that made they were real, but were they? Or were they an Genjutsu or Illusion of some kind? This only made Naruto's head get a headache. ''Aw! Never mind! At least now I don't have to hold back on them!"
Naruto turns around to look at the first floor of the school, if he can be sure this was a school to start with. Still, he couldn't leave like this with those monsters in there. It was his duty to stop them, being that he wishes to become the next Hokage and likes helping people out. He made out his mind as he smack his fist on his other hand. ''Yosh! I better stop them before they do any damage on this… school? I think? Who knows? Whatever! Here I come!''
Naruto runs inside the school to stop the hunters, and maybe find clues on his mission too.
Meanwhile with Danny...
Danny was trying to find a place to transform into Danny Phantom, but had no idea where he was going. In fact, he was never even asked where the bathrooms were at. And that only made him want to go.
"Ah man! I should have asked Yugi or Momomiya-san where the bathroom were at, or a broom closet. Or somewhere to hide. Man, Japan is complex!" Danny told himself, getting frustrated by the weird place he was living for a while until the transfer was over.
Now it felt like he was going around in circles. Danny sighs as he has given up in looking for the bathrooms and just transform now, until four Dark Dragon Hunters appear as they surrounded him. Danny watches all around him as he sees those dragons were licking their mouths and looking at Danny with hunger. "Mmm... lunch. Time to eat."
"Ew... I already ate, so no. If you want something else, how about a knuckle sandwich?!" Danny shouts as he waves his fist around at them. This only made the dragons lick themselves with even more saliva.
"Mmm... even taster. Let's eat!" A hunter declares as they all charged in at Danny, until he says with a smile. "Sorry, but that won't happen.''
Danny steps back quick enough to dodge them in the last minute as all the dragons hit themselves on the ground. ''I guess you guys are too stupid to tell anyone my secret, so... I'm going ghost!"
As soon as he said that, one giant blue-white ring appears around his waist where it separates in opposite directions; one up and one down. While they move, he transforms. His normally black hair turns white, his eyes change from sky blue to ectoplasmic green, his skin changes from light to tanned, and his school uniform is replace as a black hazmat suit with white boots, gloves, belt and a "D" emblem with an inner "P" on his chest put together. He became Danny Phantom, the ghostly superhero of Amity Park, USA, Earth. The Dark Dragon hunters were amazed by this. Danny P was smiling in his might. He lifts his hand and declares with both hands over his waist. "Are you ready, or you guys giving up?"
They refused and instead charged at him. Instead of moving or dodging, Danny stood his ground. They raise their claws to crush him, but fail because they went right through him and bump each other in result. He went intangible in the last minute, tricking the two dragons. As soon as they had focus and turns to see him, he was gone. He went invisible. Then something hit the left one with extreme strength that causes him or it to crash to wall and fall unconscious. They were surprise and scared. Then someone's voice appears from above the ceiling. It was Phantom, floating, with his bottom half turned into a wispy, ghostly tail.
"Give up now you freaks, or you want more?" Danny warned them again as he slams his fist onto his other palm. Both hunters continued to refuse as they took flight and charged again. Danny was merely impressed, but he has seen better. "Okay, you ask for it."
His bottom half became back to two legs and his hand began to glow green aura. He raises his glowing hand at them and his palm release a green light energy blast at them. It hit only one, but made him crash on the ground. The other two reach him, but Danny simple turns invisible again. They were confused and he reappeared from a distant behind them. He flies towards them with great incredible speed with both his hands were glowing the same green aura. Before they could do anything else, Danny threw a massive double punch at them both at the same time. Both hunters crashed on the wall and fell down to the ground.
"That's... for saying that you'll eat me. Why am I saying this in Japanese?" Danny asked him as he was still speaking in Japanese for some reason.
Danny stopped as he noticed all four fallen dragons disappeared into nothing but black ashes. Phantom was both astonished and also shocked by what he just witnessed.
"Well... that's new. By a really good chance, they're not ghost or I'll be in trouble. But... what are they?'' Danny asked himself as he gently lands back on the ground, observing the black ashes. He didn't like what this meant and somehow didn't want him to know.
''My ghost senses were not going off to warn me like they do with ghosts, meaning these things were not ghosts. Still, what are they, and why don't I want to know. They are evil, very. Still, there are more of them. So, I should check to be sure so no one gets hurt.'' Danny declares as he floats up again, and disappears to find more of them.
Meanwhile with Ichigo M...
Ichigo Momomiya made a long detour around the school to enter the girls' bathroom. She entered through the window and first thing she does is to check if anyone else was in there. After confirming, she takes out her Mew Pendant and stares at it. She tries to recall how much she hates becoming a Mew Mew and all that, but for these kind of stuff that involve the lives of innocents; she must do what she must.
"Okay, time to be a heroine again, for now. Mew Mew Strawberry... Metamorphose!" Ichigo kisses her pendent as it glows. Her whole body was engulfed by ia pink light and instantly transforms into Mew Ichigo. Ichigo stared at herself through the window, hating who she was; a freak. Not to mention looking like a whore; Ichigo never understood Ryou's taste. But then she thought to herself about what Ichigo K said before about his name, her name too. "My name... also means being the one who protects. I can't hate this form if it would help me, yet.''
Mew Ichigo takes a breath in as she made up her mind and shouts loudly. "Even if my parents did give me that name one way or the other, I will protect those I love too! Time to show this cat's inner spirit, Nya!"
''I can't believe I just said that. Oh well, Nya.'' Mew Ichigo told herself in thought as she walks out from the bathroom, and was spotted by 5 Dark Dragon Hunters, who were surprised to see her. The Mew Mew sweat drops to believe she found them, or them found her. Either way, it was a good thing. She shouts towards them in a heroic tone while pointing her finger. "Hey, ugly Dark Lord clones of him!"
They all glare at Mew Ichigo as she was in a pose with both hands on each side of her waist. She continues saying as she changes that pose with her cat girl pose. "I won't let Dark Leader Dragon hurt anyone in here or anywhere! For the Earth's future, I'll be of service-Nya! Mew Ichigo is here to protect everyone- Double Nya!"
They only respond by roaring at her and then charging towards her. She was expecting that, so she held out her hand and shouts out. "Come out, Strawberry Bell!
Her heart shaped, bell weapon appears from the bell from her tail as she grabs it with her right hand. She shouts out her attack right away with both hands on her bell weapon. "Time to wrap this up! RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!"
Her weapon fires the pink, magical bubble blast towards the Hunters. Only of them 4 were hit as the last one dodged it by a tail. Those four were destroyed and turned into black ashes. The fifth one got scared by the Cat Girl. It decides to retreat and runs away which annoys the Mew Mew.
"Coward! This is the first time that something like that runs away. I better go after it or it will call for backup." Mew Ichigo says as she sighs at the fact that she has to act like a cat and run after its prey. She doesn't like to whine but she has no choice but to go after it. So she did, as fast as she could.
Meanwhile...
Yami Yugi arrives on the long hall floor of the school in the third floor where 5 Dark Dragon Hunters were waiting for him, like they knew he would arrive.
"The Dragon Knight... Our master is displeased with your existence.'' The Hunter from the middle spoke in a threatening tone. Both Yugi and Yami didn't like the fact that this was the Dark Lord's minions, than alone he would attack his school.
"Like I care what that villains says about me. I won't lose to you, your friends or even Dark Leader Dragon." Yami threats the hunter angrily. Yugi thought the same way, angry that the Dark Lord would do this, and he would never forgive him. "I will stop him from hurting my friend. Time to make Mew Ichigo proud, time for my hero cry."
''Yes, let us… wait what?'' Yami was going to agree, until he stopped when he heard that last part. Yami Yugi was being controlled by Yugi who brings out the Dragon Sword and points it at the dragons by the side as its ribbon floats around him. Without a second hesitation, he shouts out his hero cry. "For everyone I want to protect and love, I will defeat you!"
The Pharaoh sweat drops to think that Yugi would come up with something like that. It kinda made him scared of Yugi a bit.
The Dark Dragon Hunters howled as they charged at the Dragon Knight very fast. Yami Yugi quickly moves out of the way by the left and begins to spin the Dragon Sword by its ribbon. He launches his flying harpoon slash at three of them. The sword did come at the other two, but they countered the blade with their razor sharp claws. As soon as they counter it, they came at the Dragon Knight with their claws once more.
Yami pulls back his sword to intercept their evil claw slash with him holding the sword by the hilt. He pushes them back and tries to send an uppercut punch at one, but he headbutt Yami Yugi on the head. The other tried to come at the knight from the right as Yami saw it and threw a kick. The hunter manages to grab him by the leg and spins him around. Yami did not like how bad he was doing the Dragon Knight thing as the hunter released its grip and threw him to the ground.
Yami rubs his head as he stars standing up just as the two dragons came at Yami Yugi with their claws. Yami took a breath in as he pointed his sword at them. He watches them getting close and close, timing it just right as he swings the sword and slashes both dragons in half by their waists. The Hunters' bodies dropped on the ground, dead. Yami takes a breather as he watches their bodies turning into black ashes.
Both Yugi and Yami stared at it with great shock and almost a bit astonished too. "I know that we beat them, but…What the heck just happened?!"
''Beats me, but I'm amazed this Dragon-DNA manage to improve your body's moment.'' Yami answered, unsure why they did turn into ashes.
"Well… that's not what I mean, but thanks for that detail. I meant about these evil twins of the flying lizard." Yugi asks again, almost both unsure and worry by the fact that maybe the Dark Lord could make more of them, which only worried him even more.
Yami was not sure himself. He never knew the Dark Lord could do that during his times as Pharaoh. "Like I said, I'm not sure, yet. They could be clones or some kind of Hybrid version of him. Anyway, let's worry about that when the school is not in danger."
Yugi nods in agreement, knowing that his friends come first before anything else. So Yami Yugi goes off to the next place. He goes down one floor down to see if there's any more of them and spots three more Dark Dragon Hunters trying to open the door to a class with their claws. He noticed three pencils on the floor and Yugi had an idea with a smirk. He picked them up and threw each one of them at them like how a ninja throws a kunai or shuriken. 2 out of 3 hit right through their heads which killed them instantly and turned into black ashes.
The last one dodges it by a second, but the pencil hits through on its left dragon wing. The hybrid dragon began to freak out, screaming out in pain. Yami says to himself with a sweat drop behind his head. "I never thought these things can get hurt, let alone go crazy that way too."
Yami then got concerned as he turned to Yugi, suspicious about how Yugi was even able to throw those pencils like that. "Anyway, how did you do that again?"
"The pencil trick?" Yugi asks him. The Pharaoh nods as he did witness that trick once during their old adventure, remembering Yugi throwing 5 pencils through a hole when he took a bet from Jonouchi, and Yugi got them all perfectly through. "Yes, that one."
Yugi rubs the back of his head as he answers him with a sweat drop. "Well…I had this friend who helped me out when we were kids, before I met you."
Yami was surprised to know something like that, because he was never told of such a thing from Yugi, ever. It seems now their roles of their past are reverse; it was Yugi's turn. "No way. It seems now it is your turn to keep things from me, Yugi. So who was this friend of yours?"
"Well… it's a little complex to explain… too much really. I'll tell you later." Yugi tries to explain, not trying to look directly at the Pharaoh. He felt sort of embarrass keeping this a secret, but it was something… that should be kept quiet and not bother remember.
Yami says in thought with shock, never knowing that Yugi wouldn't tell him something like a friend, especially since he didn't know that Yugi did had a friend before Jonouchi, Honda and Anzu. "What? I think I deserve a now. Tell me? Your partner. Please?"
Before Yugi could answer, the only scared and injury Dark Dragon Hunter couldn't take the pain he receive in his right eye as he pulls it out. Yami Yugi then noticed the dragon's stabbed eye was being regenerated. Then the dragon glares at Yami Yugi and runs away from him.
Yami says in thought with sarcastic tone. "Great. Now he's running away."
"We can't let him leave right?" Yugi asks mentally which the Pharaoh replied while nodding. "Not even close. This could be our chance to learn the Dark Lord's location."
Yugi agreed, and if they learn where the Dark Lord is, they can stop him for good. Yami Yugi decides to fire his Dragon Slice Attack to cut off his legs, but then a kunai appeared behind him, right close to his shoulder, and hits through the Dark Dragon Hunter in one shot. The hit was deathly as the dragon dropped on the ground and dies, turning into black ashes.
Yami Yugi was surprise and stunned by that as he quickly turned around and saw no one on the hall. He could have sworn the kunai was thrown behind him, and then Yugi had a strange feeling above him. He then raised his head and saw Naruto Uzumaki standing on the ceiling upside down on his feet.
"What the Hell? Who in the world is that and… how's he doing that?!" Yami demanded, astonish to see a boy almost around Yugi's age, a year younger than him, doing that. Yugi was surprised too, a little as he had seen it once before.
Naruto was focused on the remains of the Dark Dragon Hunter, spooking him for how that could happen. He then finally notices Yami Yugi after some time of staring at the ninja. Naruto jumped down from the ceiling onto the floor. He blinks in surprise that someone notices him, and he didn't expect to get caught. He says while being confused and curious of what he should say. "Um…Mmm… right! Listen kid, it's not safe to stay here. So, you better hide and leave this to me."
Yami didn't like how he called him a kid, although he was using Yugi's body. He yells angrily at the shinobi. "What did you just say? First, I'm not a kid! I'm almost 18, well this body. Second, I can handle these guys. So, you better hide yourself, kid."
Naruto says also angrily with his whole white non-pupil eyes while pointing his finger to him. "What! You may be a year older than me, but I'm a shinobi who kicks butt! So you better…"
He was about to continue until he spots the Dragon Sword in Yami Yugi's hand. Naruto gulped his throat that he wouldn't believe he would find it, or the one who was holding it. He then thought to himself in his normal serious look: "That's the sword…If it is, and then this guy must be…"
His thoughts were interrupted by Yami Yugi who turned around and began to walk away. "Look, I'm going now. I'm going to protect my school. Alright, Mr. Shinobi."
As he was walking away, Naruto then threw another kunai in between Yami Yugi feet to stop him. Yami Yugi turns around angrily as he notices the serious expression over the shinobi's face, and he was dead serious too. "Maybe I didn't notice it before because I'm not so bright, but I know who you are now, Dark Lord!"
Yami Yugi almost fell down in a funny way by how he was accusing him as being a Dark Lord. He says with a big sweat drop on his head. "Dark Lord? You must be confusing me with someone else WHO'S EVIL!"
"Nope. I know because your monster friend was scared of you, Dark Lord!" Naruto declares as he points his finger at him.
Yami Yugi became annoyed for the second time he called him the Dark Lord. Not just him, but Yugi too as he spoke instead of Yami. "He's not my friend and… He freaked out when I injured him or it. Besides, I'm the Dragon Knight! I bet even Konohagakure must know that name."
"I don't buy… Wait! You know where I'm from?" Naruto questions in surprise that some guy he has never met or even one who wouldn't know of Konoha would know of his village. Yami was too, he was surprised his partner knew where this shinobi came from. "You know where he is from? With the clothes he's wearing, he's not from here."
"Yes! He's a Hidden Leaf shinobi or ninja from Konoha. I know this… from a friend." Yugi answers mentally to Yami with a sad expression when he mentions that friend. The Pharaoh notices the grim look that Yugi had when he talked about that friend and just ended the subject with that. Yami Yugi then said to Naruto with Yugi speaking through him. "You must be a Chunin or a Jonin at best to be accepted on this type of mission."
Naruto sweated drop that he wasn't even a high rank shinobi, just a Genin, but this guy didn't need to know as he barked at him. "Well…Maybe! That's another reason why you must be a Dark Lord!"
"Are you deaf too? How many times do I have to say that…I'm the Dragon Knight!" Yami Yugi explains once more to the idiotic shinobi.
Naruto couldn't figure if he should listen to him, or just ignore him. So he decided to think about this for a long time which irritated the Dragon Knight. Finally, Naruto answers him with a serious expression. "Okay… only if you hand me over the Dragon Sword."
"What?! Why do I have to give you my Dragon Sword?" Yami Yugi demanded, surprisingly to hear this guy wants his sword too. It was bad enough the Dark Lord is his enemy, but does he have to have two enemies?
Naruto begins to clear his throat with some coughing and says firmly. "It's my mission to retrieve the Dragon Sword from Dark Lord's hand. It's my duty as a shinobi to follow my missions. Besides…"
He paused and started to remember the warning from Lady Tsunade and an image of his friend, Sasuke Uchiha (in Part 2 look), when he couldn't save him that day. He was so close, and if he messes this up, he'll never be able to save him. He continues saying in his serious and confidant tone. "It's the only way I can be part of the mission to save my friend! My close friend, my best friend!"
"Your close friend? Your best friend?" Yami Yugi asks as he repeats the blond hair ninja's last word. Naruto nods and continues saying: "I have to success this or I lose my only chance to save him from an evil person who took him from us."
Yugi began to feel bad for him who was also thinking of three people close to him in the past, not to mention all his friends of now. If one of them were taken from him, he wouldn't be able to sit tight and not go after them. Yami Yugi says softly with his eyes closed. "I'm sorry about your friend; I understand something about that and would know if one of my friends were robbed from me…"
He pauses as he opens his eyes and continues saying in a serious tone. "But I can't give my Dragon Sword to you! Because even if you don't believe me or not, this sword once belonged to my father before he and my mother were killed by someone evil."
This made Yugi even more serious as he glared at the shinobi. "I won't hand over this sword to anyone. I'll use it to protect everyone close to me from the Dark Lord and beat them. I'll NEVER hand it over, EVER!"
Now Naruto felt bad, even if this guy could be the Dark Lord. But even so, he proclaims while cling his fist to him. "Then… I'll have taken it from you, the HARD WAY!"
Yami Yugi was surprise, but answered to him with a smirk. "I don't like that idea, but…I'll have to for once! Bring it!"
Naruto shouts while taking out a third kunai from his sleeve on his right hand. "That's my line!"
They both charged at each other and clashed their weapons. Both blades of their weapons clash each other as sparks fly out. Yami Yugi had a better grip on his weapon than Naruto, but both were pushed back from Naruto's strength.
Naruto quickly steps back his right foot and charges back towards Yami Yugi with greater force. Naruto sends out a barrage of punches and kicks while still trying to slash Yami Yugi with his kunai. Yami Yugi dodges almost all of his attacks, except a few punches and kicks that got him across his face, his chest and on his ribs.
Yami Yugi was slid back backwards until he gridded his feet on the ground hard enough to stop himself. He shook it off as Yami charged back and sent his own barrages of punches and kicks at Naruto while still trying to slash him with his sword. Naruto also dodges almost all of his slashes, except a few punches and kicks on his left cheek, the right side of his chest and his stomach. Naruto was sent flying off his feet, almost dropping to the ground until he somersaults from his hands onto the ground as he spins back right-side up and on the ground.
They were both even, pretty closely, until Yami Yugi finally made contact with Naruto's kunai again. The Genin couldn't hold the sword off him, so he took out a fourth kunai from his other arm's sleeve. Even with two, Naruto was pushed hard by the sword's amazing strength.
Both knight and shinobi began to breathe heavily by the barrage of physical attacks they left to each other. Naruto thinks to himself while trying to catch his breathing. "I… don't believe this. This guy… is harder to beat… than he looks."
Yami Yugi also thought to himself while trying to catch his breathing. "This is… nuts. This shinobi… is tough. He's… at least in some equal level to…Dark Leader Dragon and Mew Ichigo."
Both knight and shinobi were amazed by the others' endurance. Naruto was almost pumped up by this fight like he has never had in such a long time. He finally says to Yami Yugi with a cocky smirk. "Okay. I admit that you're strong, super strong."
"Thank you?" Yami Yugi thanks the shinobi with an eyebrow up. Naruto then changed his expression into a serious one as he declared. "However… I haven't begun using my real power. No more holding back!"
He raises both his hands to form a hand sign in the form a ''+'' shape symbol and shouts out. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
And by an appearance of white smoke, appear 4 more identical clones of Naruto. Yami Yugi was both amazed and stunned by this. He couldn't tell what had happened and nor didn't Yugi as he said nervously. "Shadow Clone Jutsu? That could be a high level Jutsu. I didn't except him to use something like that."
"How do you even know that? You got to explain to me later." Yami questions Yugi with this new knowledge even the Pharaoh didn't knew about. Yugi just nodded as he glared at the shinobi.
The real Naruto pointed his finger at Yami Yugi while his clones were stretching their arms and legs. "Well… what do you think? Give up now!"
"Impressive. I wish I could do that too, but… No, I won't give up!" Yami Yugi replies back as he points his Dragon Sword at the clones. Naruto just smirks as his clones join him. "Then bring it on!"
The real Naruto declares the order as his clones charge at Yami Yugi with two kunai on each clone's hands. Yami didn't like those odds, knowing it would be too much for Yugi's body to handle. He then said mentally to Yugi with a worry look. "Yugi! We have to use DRAGON SLICE ATTACK, or we'll lose by those numbers."
Yugi knew that the Pharaoh was right, but if he revealed the only technique that could turn the tide of the battle to them and let the shinobi to beat them with his knowledge… it wouldn't end well. He couldn't afford losing his only ace in this fight as he replied back to Yami mentally. "We can't. That's our only trump card in this fight. We still don't know what else he can do."
"Okay. Then it's the hard way." The Pharaoh follows Yugi's plan. It was amazing for the ancient Pharaoh to know that his partner has been thinking that far ahead. He had grown a lot more than he expected him to be.
So it went as Yugi planned. Yami Yugi versus Naruto plus 4 Naruto clones battle commence. Yami Yugi stood well even against 4 more Naruto; however, after some time later, they began to overpower him. He wasn't able to handle so many of them or keep them up. It was like fighting five Duel Monster cards, except Yugi didn't have any traps to stop or destroy them.
Then each Naruto clone slide down and send out a high slide kick at Yami Yugi which sent him flying in midair, as each one said in four words. "Uz-Um-A-Ki!"
In midair, Yami Yugi saw the real Naruto coming down from above him with a downward kick and he had shouting out. "NARUTO…UZUMAKI BARRAGE!"
He didn't like the look on this, so he quickly tries to move his head away from the kick. The attack got Yami Yugi on his stomach which sent him crashing to the floor, very hard leaving a small crater on the floor. Naruto landed between his clones, trying to see if the tri-color hero survived. He says out loud with his eyes closed, because he felt disappointment. "I told you this is going to be hard way. I guess I'll…"
He quickly sense something, opens his eyes and like sixth sense, he backs away. From the crater, appeared a flying harpoon Dragon Sword that slashed down all of Naruto's clones and disappeared in white smoke. Naruto then sees Yami Yugi who was now normal Yugi, back on his feet, pulling his sword back to his hand. He then spitted out some of his blood from his mouth.
Yugi was shaken up as Yami was not able to handle the blow, and his body was getting tired. However he couldn't give up like that. If he did, he would let everyone down, and he couldn't afford that, especially to his duty of this Dragon Knight.
"Not… yet. Not now, not ever. I will never give in, even if you are better, stronger or more experience than me. I will fight for my dear friends of mine." Yugi began to speak softly, from his weaken state while he dragged his body out of the crater with one leg. Yugi felt like a piece of meat, being slammed by a hammer. Even so, he couldn't give up. He doesn't understand why he's even trying to protect the Dragon Sword which put him into this entire mess, but it belongs to his father and it's the duty of the son to protect his precious memories. If he didn't, then he's not meant to be a friend.
Yugi took a breath in as he tightened his grip on the Dragon Sword. He raised his eyes towards Naruto, glaring at him as he declared his words, strong and from his heart. "My bonds… will always be there for me. And those bonds go deep to my father's promises, and to the people who will need the Dragon Knight. I don't care if you surpass me in every way, I'll… I'll never give up on this sword, my life, or defeat!"
Naruto was left speechless by this guy. What he's trying to do, to fight for what he cares for, remains him of himself. Naruto thought back from all those fights he had, like against Neji Hyuga, Gaara of the Sand and even Sasuke during in the Valley of The End. And he knew this guy who had that sword wasn't lying, he means what he says. He knows he does, and that gives him his respects. In his head, he was wrong about accusing him for being the Dark Lord. No bad guy would say words like those.
Even so, now Naruto was that eager to fight him with all he has. Naruto then smiled as he said with a smirk. "If you're not giving up, then I won't either. Let's see if you can handle 10, 20, 50 or 100 Shadow Clones! MULTI SHADOW CLONE…"
Before he could finish his Jutsu, 5 new Dark Dragon Hunters appeared from behind Naruto. Yugi saw them and yelled at him to warn him, although it caused him problem to know the shinobi's name. "…Um… Shinobi-kun! Look out behind you!"
This ruined Naruto's concentration and left him in a state of rage as he pointed angrily at Yugi. "Hey! You didn't let me finish. And…I'm not a kun."
Yugi sweat dropped from the yelling, and how stupid he was about the warning he was telling him. Before he got the chance to turn around, three of them jumped over Naruto, sending him to the floor. Their weight put together made sure that Naruto couldn't move. One of the Dark Dragon Hunter had Naruto over his butt which was not a great spot to smell. "Ouch! Get…off…me…you…ugly…freak! AND YOU STINK!"
They enjoy squeezing him as they did it harder. The other two hunters were ready to attack Yugi with their red eyes. Yugi got both angry and worried about all of this. Now that Naruto couldn't even stand, it left just the Dragon Knight to fight, uneven once more.
"We can't… do this anymore. We have… to use…DRAGON SLICE ATTACK. I don't care… no more." Yami finally declares serious by the outcome. Yugi now knew he has no choice, but there was another problem now added.
"You're right… but, we'll never beat all 5 with one attack. Plus, they can kill the Shinobi-kun even if we do something. I wish… we had something else… to fight back!" Yugi pointed out, angry at the thought that they won't do much now. If Mew Ichigo was here, maybe then, but right now, it was just Yugi and he's not even strong enough to handle this fight. He felt completely useless and frustrated by this.
He needed to do something, and then a voice spoke to both Yugi and Yami mentally, and one they remembered. "You can! Concentrate your strength and focus. You still have much more power than you think you have. Believe in it and yourself, young Dragon Knight."
Yami could now hear the voice as he thought it could be the same one that spoke to Yugi. "That's the voice… from before? Who is he?"
"I don't know, but he does give good advice. Let's pull even more power! And I know how!" Yugi declares as he forms his new plan to change the situation around, and it was the best one he had too. Yami agreed with his partner as he followed his plan. "I'll follow your lead Yugi!"
Yugi quickly holds both hands together in a mental, hand sign state. He began to concentrate as much as he could; trying to draw something out inside of him. While he tries to concentrate he began to remember the words of a friend he once met before. "If you to be able to protect something but you don't have your own techniques to fight, then you need to copy and adapt them! It's not cheating, it's a way to fight and to save your love ones, loser."
Yugi smiles a little as he memorizes Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu and how it was used. Then blue aura spiral flow began to appear below Yugi's feet and spin around him while growing larger. This surprised both the Dark Dragons and Naruto with widened stun eyes. He knew that aura and energy, but it was impossible for a normal human to do that. "No way, that shape and color. It's…Charka. He has Charka in him. How is that possible?"
After a little more concentrating and energy, Yugi made the same hand sign as Naruto and shouted out fiercely. "DRAGON…SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
And by an appearance of white smoke, appeared four identical clones of Yugi. The Dark Dragon Hunters drop their jaws as Naruto was super amazed and astonished. The real Yugi was happy about this, feeling that his clones were stronger than the shinobi's. Yugi says with a smirk to his clones. "Cool! Isn't just me or are there better looking Dragon Knights around here."
"I think it's you, or me." The first Dragon Clone declares with a cocky smirk. Then all of them said with the same smirk. "Or us all!"
The real Yugi was truly amazed by this technique, but he had no time to enjoy the moment. He then announced serious. "Okay. Let's worry about this right after we kick some evil dragons' tails.
"Right!" All the Dragon Clones declare with their own cloned Dragon Swords in their hands.
Yugi and his Dragon Clones charge at each Dark Dragon Hunters. They each swing their own Dragon Sword which the evil dragons didn't like this at all. They all slashed them and quickly beaten them with ease. The Dark Dragons disappear into ashes like the ones before. After they left, all Dragon Clones disappear with satisficed expressions. Naruto got up on his feet, still whooshing. He stares at Yugi who was still amazed by his technique.
"That was so amazing. I've never heard or seen a Dragon version Jutsu before." Naruto burst out of excitement. He was truly amazed that this guy took down those creepy monsters and did it with some clones.
"I don't even know that I can do that. It just came in mind." Yugi tells him with a smile, while his cheeks were blushing of joy. Naruto nods as he's still amazed by that. "Someone with huge amount of Charka can use it like that, like me."
"Cool. Charka…I know about it, but never had it till now." Yugi told him which caused him to laugh a little. It was a long time since he felt happy about something like this. Then there was a small silence, until Naruto said overexcitement. "Well…Let's continue!"
Yugi then sweat dropped as he yelled at Naruto at shock. "What?! You still want to fight? In that state?"
"Of course! I'm fire up now that I'm going to beat you, Dragon Knight kid." Naruto declares with a big smirk over his face. Yugi then got mad as he was about to yell at him, until he remembered what he just call him in the end of his sentence. He called him Dragon Knight, which left him pretty surprise. "That's the Dragon Knight. So now you believe me?"
"Yoshi! Anyone who would defend their opponent can't be evil, especially since you gave out that speech about protecting your friends and love ones. No one can lie about that" Naruto explains to Yugi with a smile. The Dragon Knight then smiled, knowing this guy finally believe him. And somehow, he could tell now that he wasn't a bad person; he could feel it.
"Besides, you remind me of myself, but just smarter and more patient which is awesome!" Naruto adds with a big grin as he raise his arms high. Yugi sweat drop about the whole awesomeness part, but he just nods and replies. "Thank you, I guess. Then…I'll fight you too, with all I have!"
"You bet!" Naruto answers back as he stands in a fighting position. Yugi nods as he holds his Dragon Sword with his right hand as he uses his left to form the same hand seal as before. They both stood in their battle pose, with their hand signs ready.
"Sorry about before, and I should have introduced myself. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the greatest Genin of Konoha and the future Hokage!" Naruto introduces himself energetically while grinning.
"Huh? A Genin? I don't mind. You're stronger than you believe you look, Naruto-kun." Yugi says as he had a feeling this guy named Naruto wasn't an elite but it scared him that he was in the same level as one. He shook his head as he introduces himself. "As for me…I'm the Dragon Knight of Light, I guess. I'm Yugi Mutou!"
"Yugi-san, huh?" Naruto says, almost unimpressed. He was hoping for a big time super awesome name, but it didn't matter. And then he remembered it. He remembered the name he said last night; the night when the flash of light appeared. "The name I said last night. I guess I can trust him now."
Naruto rubs his head around as he continues saying. "Alright Yugi Mutou, here I go!"
Yugi smirks as he declares back. "Bring it, Naruto Uzumaki!"
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto shouts as he creates 10 Shadow Clones on his side.
"DRAGON SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Yugi shouts as he creates 10 Dragon Clones on his side.
Both sides were ready to fight, ready to beat the other. The real Yugi and Naruto declare the order as they point their fingers to the others' side. "Let's go!"
The army of Shadow Clones and Dragon Clones all charge at each other without any hesitation for a battle royal of clones. It was a brutal battle of clones as the real ones clash each other too.
After a few minutes of intense battling, there stood Naruto and his Shadow Clone left and one Yugi left. During their battle, Yugi's Dragon Clones were both better and more effective than Naruto's clones. His Dragon Clones were able to take on against Naruto's Shadow Clones punches. With their Dragon Sword's copies, they were all a threat. Even so, Naruto's combos and experience on using his own Jutsu and Shadow Clones were better against a rookie user. They were both exhausted that they only had, at least, one last trick left.
"You're… pretty good, Yugi-san!" Naruto breathes heavily while sweating. Yugi nods as he was tired and sweating too. "You… too, Naruto-kun!"
Naruto grins it was a long time since he had this type of fight, but he needed to win this once and for all. "Let's… end this fight! I still have… my trump card left."
Naruto slowly raises his hand next to his clone and he began to rotate both his hands in a sphere form. While doing that, his palm began to spin and rotate Chakra into a round, sphere like Chakra ball which is still spinning like a tornado or a hurricane.
Yugi was speechless with wide eyes. He could sense the great energy around that attack, it was incredible. He says with such amazement. "What… what is that?"
Naruto answers him with a weakened grin. "My Shadow Clone Jutsu may be my best trick, but it's not as powerful compare to… RASENGAN! I still need a Shadow clone to use this Jutsu, but it's amazing right."
"No… it's beyond amazing. It's… super incredible to see such an attack." Yugi says in amazement with a big smile over his face. He didn't expect that Naruto had such an attack with him, but he did and it was amazing. So amazing that Yugi wish he had such an attack. "I so want to learn and use that type of move."
Naruto says with a big chuckling grin. "Hehehe! Well… it's harder to master than Shadow Clone Jutsu, and difficult too. Also, we're in a middle of a battle here, maybe next time."
"Okay. Even if this Rasengan is your trump card…" Yugi begins to say while he points the Dragon Sword to him and it begins to glow. This surprised Naruto a lot that at first he thought Yugi was channeling his chakra into his sword, but it wasn't the case. Yugi continues saying with his own smirk. "But I too have a trump card, my Dragon Slice Attack! I should warn you; this is a long range attack. So, be careful not to be blown away."
"Are you kidding me? I drive on this kind of battle!" Naruto shouts of joy. Yugi wasn't surprise Naruto would say that. The blond-headed ninja then continued saying as he charges up his attack. "Even if that attack is a non-Chakra Jutsu, it still pumps my excitement. Let's see which move is better, my Rasengan…"
"Or is my Dragon Slice Attack the better one!" Yugi continues on as he charges up the glow into a golden aura with both hands
There was a completely silence, to see who will start first. Then it broke when Naruto's Shadow Clone grabs the real one's left arm tight and begins to spin him around. Yugi also begins to twirl around his sword, faster and faster, with one hand to increase its swing's speed. Then the Shadow Clone lets go of the real Naruto like a catapult which he disappears afterwards. The real Naruto charges, while in midair, holding up his attack to Yugi. At that time, Yugi holds his sword with both hands and with all of his might takes a huge swing at Naruto which sends out his crescent golden, energy slash attack towards him.
"RASENGAN!/DRAGON SLICE ATTACK!" Both Naruto and Yugi shouted as their signature attacks clash in a huge aura of golden vs blue. It was truly intense amount of energy being spread around them.
Both their attacks were evenly matched up to the others', making it impossible for the other one to beat the other. Then both gave more power to their attack. And just as they were, both Yugi's and Naruto's eyes began to changed. Naruto's pupils became slitter, and his eyes changed from his sky blue to red. Yugi's pupils also became the same form and color too, but for a moment. Before one of the attacks could beat the other, a green like round energy barrier appear between the two attacks, separating them. Both Yugi and Naruto were surprise by this that causes their eyes and pupils to change back to normal.
Naruto shouts at Yugi with his white pupil eyes. "What is that?! Is that yours, Yugi-san!"
Yugi shouts back in surprise. "No! I can only use Dragon Slice Attack and now the Dragon Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Before they could stop their attacks, it was already too late. Both Rasengan and Dragon Slice Attack couldn't break through barrier. Rasengan simply bounced from it which left that side of the barrier cracked. Dragon Slice Attack also cracked and damages it before it disappeared. The barrier still would stand both attacks. Naruto freaks out with his non-pupil eyes and yells. "What is that?! Some kind of Jutsu or something unfair!"
Then someone's voice says to him while Naruto couldn't see who said it. "Nope. It's something a little bit different."
"Who the heck was that?! Was it you, Yugi?" Naruto asks, a little spook, as he turns to Yugi. The Dragon Knight shook his head that he didn't answer while he just looked around at all directions to spot who did. Then like magic, they both saw a white hair, black dress kid, floating on the air in front of him. It was Danny Phantom, of course, crossing his arms over his chest. "Sorry, I forgot I was still invisible. You guys shouldn't fight at a time like this.
Naruto wasn't happy to hear that. He wanted to continue fighting Yugi with all he still has left. So he barks out at Danny in an angry tone. "HEY WHITE HAIR DORK! First, I wanted to win that fight for fun. Second, what kind of move was that? Finally, who or what are you?"
"Okay, sorry? That was my ghost shield and, by you didn't know or heard... I'm a ghost." Danny proclaims to the blond-headed ninja with a small smile. As soon as he heard that, Naruto shouts like an idiot in fear as he jumps behind Yugi. "GHOST! What the heck does that even mean? DON'T EAT MY SOUL!"
Danny dropped his jaw when he heard the whole eating Naruto's soul. Yugi also sweat dropped behind his head and explained to Naruto who was shivering. "Don't freak out, Naruto-kun. This guy is Danny Phantom."
Naruto had no idea who that was, not one clue. Yugi's sweat drop grew when he noticed the shinobi's cluelessness and said much more simple for him. "He's the Ghost Boy of Amity Park, USA, United States of America."
Naruto still had no idea what that meant which made his Yugi's sweat drop grew bigger than his head. He finally says with a louder tone in the shortest way to tell him. "He's a super hero of the Earth. And he doesn't eat souls"
Like an idiot, Naruto got it with a smile. "Oh! I still don't know who he is, but I'm convinced. Hello Ghost Kid who doesn't eat souls, I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to become the next Hokage!"
Danny was left completely speechless by Naruto's change towards him; it almost made him scared of him. Yugi finally sighs of relief that he got it as he then turns to Danny. "How can you not even get it from the beginning? Still, it's nice to meet a hero of true and justice.
"It's an honor for someone like you to say that, Yugi Mutou the former Duel King." Danny responds back which surprises Yugi that he knew that. Maybe Americans do know more than anyone else. Naruto, however, only got a blank from what the Phantom said. "Duel what King?"
Yugi just ignored that part as he replies to Danny. "Wow, I didn't know someone as heroic like you know me. I'm glad and honor by this."
"Same here!" Danny answers back with a smile over his face. In fact, he was sweating dropping as he thought to himself. "I'm just glad that I knew this while me, Yugi and everyone else were chatting during lunch."
"So... um, why is a ghost, super hero guy doing here?" Naruto finally said something smart as he scratched the back of his head. Yugi widens his eyes of how smart that question his new friend gave out. He turns to Danny who know look nervous from it. "Yeah? Why are you...?"
Before he could finish, another Dark Dragon Hunter appeared, bashing its way from the three, as he was running for his life from the three. The three noticed it and it got scared by them when it turn around and ran faster. All three had a smirk over their faces and Yugi spoke first. "First thing first like how Phantom wanted to say, let's stop those things."
Danny agrees with that, more as he was about to tell them something very shocking. "Exactly! Let's kick some butts!"
"That's my line too! Let's do it! SHADOW CLONE JUSTU!" Naruto shouts out as he creates two Shadow Clones and chases after the Dark Dragon. Yugi couldn't help it being left out of this either. "That's my thing too! DRAGON SHADOW CLONE JUSTU!"
Danny watches as Yugi creates his own two clones and chases after the Dark Dragon Hunter too with Naruto. Danny now felt he was being outdated that everyone was now making copies, well he couldn't help but get in there too with the multiple game.
"What the heck! Well you two aren't the only ones who can duplication!" Danny declares as he begins to engulf his body in like a weird form of energy. Danny then splits himself to form a green aura to create two copies of himself from a physically splitting. He then also chased after the dragon with his two new comrades.
The Dark Dragon Hunter turned slightly to see the army of clones, which scared him as he yelled. He didn't want to fight them by their numbers, so he quickly runs faster and faster. Before he could get away, a female's voice shouts out which Yugi recognize. "Got you now, RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!"
"That voice... I know that voice!" Yugi said mentally as he sensed a huge amount of energy forming. From a flash of pink light that engulfed the cowardly dragon, the Dark Dragon Hunter was destroyed and turned into nothing but ashes. All of three originals and their clones stop in their tracks. Both Naruto and Danny were left in shock and spoke startled. "Who was that? How did that happened?!"
Yugi was not surprised as he knew who it was with a big smile. Like out of nowhere, Mew Ichigo appears in front of the three while waving her hand and staring at Yugi.
"I told I'll see you again, Yugi..." She says until she notices in shock to see three Yugis, leaving her stunned and even dizzy. "...Mutous. This is... so confusing!"
Yugi forgot about his clones, so he forms the release seal to disappear his clones into smoke. Mew Ichigo was astonished that Yugi has a new power of some kind in just one day. She says to him with a big smile and her eyes sparkly towards him. "That is so cool that you can... um... did you multiple?"
Yugi began to chuckle a bit, blushing too, and replied. "In a way! It's Jutsu, used by chakra. It's a clone Jutsu that allows me to summon and create an amount of clones of me. It's my new move."
Mew Ichigo was now even more amazed. She didn't know Yugi came up with something so useful and amazing like making copies. She says to him with a big smile and happy tone. "Wow! If you keep this up, you'll surpass me in no time!"
Yugi blushes as he scratches the back of his head as he answers with a small smile "I wouldn't say that, but it is super. But even with that, I know that you'll be always being stronger than me."
"Thank you, Yugi-kun. You don't have to be that polite." Mew Ichigo thanks Yugi with a smile over her face. Yugi continues to blush as he smiles bacl.
Then Naruto notices Mew Ichigo a more closer, more on her ears, tail and dress. Naruto sweat drops as his mouth was stretch pointy and his face look extremely stun like a girl's. He then quickly approaches Yugi and asks him as he taps Yugi's shoulders behind him. "Hey Yugi, is that young lady... a cat?"
Yugi sort of forgotten that Naruto was here, so he answers him. "She's another super hero, I mean heroine. She's also my friend. Try to say hi to her."
Naruto looks at her again and says with a nervous grin. "Um... nice to meet you! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and... I already know about talking animals but not half human half animal girls."
Mew Ichigo giggles which scares Naruto a little that maybe he has anger her, but it wasn't that. She likes him better than Jonouchi, finds Naruto sort of cute. She replies in her cat pose. "Thanks! I'm Mew Ichigo by the way, Naruto-kun! And you're very cute!"
Naruto then grinned while blushing about the cat girl's comment and says. "Hehehe! Thank you! And you mean like a strawberry? That's awesome. Well... any friend of Yugi's is a friend of mine!"
Mew Ichigo smiles even more that she knew this guy was very nice. Then she noticed Danny and says with amazed. "Wow! Danny Phantom is here, in Tokyo!"
The cat girl then sweated and asked him. "You're not going to eat my soul right?"
"Another fan of mines... AND NO! I don't eat human souls! Any soul!" Danny explains angrily towards the Mew Mew. Even more than ever, he thought that the Japanese are very weird. He shook his head and smiles at the cat girl. "I'm glad to meet the leader of Tokyo Mew Mew."
She was amazed that the Ghost Boy, hope he wasn't a ghost, even knew about the Mew Mews. She didn't like anything about ghost, but she likes and admires the ghost hero of America, who she can sense that he's more than what meets the eye. Danny thought to himself with a nervous smile. "I'm just glad that Ichigo told me about..."
He then realized that the Mew Mew's name was the same as the two Ichigos he met today. He then said with a surprising expression. "Wait, you said that your name is Mew Ichigo, right?"
She nods happily and he responds with an astonished expression. "Wow! You're like the third person I just met today with the same name!"
"Thanks, I get that a lot! Someone who saved the world should know about other super heroes like me." Mew Ichigo says to Danny with a bow and a gentle smile over her face. Then Naruto dropped his jaw when he heard that and started yelling in shock. "What?! YOU SAVED THE WHOLE WORLD!"
Danny felt proud about that and says in a cool tone. "You bet! I really saved the whole planet from a giant, ghost asteroid!"
"That is extremely cool!" Naruto bursts out of excitement. Someone who saved the entire world must be super strong and very awesome too, which Naruto likes both things a lot! Mew Ichigo made a sweat drop towards Naruto and said with one of her fangs out. "You really are not from here, Naruto-kun. But... why is the ghost hero of Amity Park doing here?"
"Yeah. Why are you here?" Yugi finally asked Danny who closed his eyes for a moment. He had to find some good lie to trick these guys, and he had one. He reopens his eyes and responds with a smile. "Well, you guys already met one of the Fentons."
Yugi nods in responds. Mew Ichigo didn't to not blow out her secret identity. Naruto just blink as he had no idea what he was talking about. Phantom continues explaining. "The Fentons always need help with ghost catching. I'm their guardian angel in terms, so I secretly came here to help them out."
"Why?" Naruto questions which sounds okay, but it was weird to follow a family around like that. Danny replies back as he nudges his shoulders. "Why not. Like, why are you doing here?"
"I follow those monster things to here. What were those things anyway?" Naruto replies as he places his right hand over his chin. He never understood why those things attacked here, or why were they. Yugi also thought the same thing, but he knew the answered. "Those things must be Dark Leader Dragon minions, I think."
Naruto and Danny blink their eyes and ask at the same time. "Who?"
"He's this Dark Lord and he's evil, insane and dangerous." Yugi tells them as he cross his arms over his chest. Naruto just blinked even more as he finally snapped his fingers. "So, he looks like those... dragon things. That makes a lot of sense now!"
Mew Ichigo nods in agreement as she adds while imagining the Dark Lord as a cartoon drawing. "Yes. But he has more muscles with wings, giant jaws, evil demon eyes, and a big evil-looking scythe!"
"So... he's a talking dragon? How?" Danny questions to the Dragon Knight. The Ghost Boy knew of Ghost Dragons and they talked, but he's sure this Dark Lord wasn't a ghost.
Yugi was also curious himself too. He met a lot of Duel Monsters, but none of them seem as dangerous as the Dark Lord, or one to have this evil all over him. And he wasn't a Duel Monster, which made the matter even more curious on why he has shown up now of all times. "He said he existed for many years. He's more dangerous than any villain I ever fought, but almost different too as he's not dumb to think I'm not a threat."
Everyone was silent because of this setback, until Mew Ichigo declares in a serious tone. "It doesn't matter! I fought many monsters that I haven't lost to one yet. And that means I won't lose to some gecko!"
"Me too! I also fought a group of villains myself too. I can handle any Lizard Breath!" Naruto adds as he slams his fist over his chest with great force. Phantom nods too as he says heroically. "Me three! I always fight ghost or machines or plants in the past. This is like a refreshment!"
Yugi was amazed that these people he just befriended would help him. He knew he had a talent to make friends from his wish from the Millennium Puzzle, but never this great. He smiles as he says with a heroic tone. "Okay! Then next time, we will fight Dark Leader Dragon and defeat him!"
"Right!" The three shouted as they raised their arms up. Naruto was very eager to take the Dark Lord as Danny couldn't help but beat a new villain.
Then a noise happens and through the microphone, Mr. Momomiya spoke through the speakers. "Sorry everyone! I got the supple power started up. Okay, at this time, everyone can leave the school. No exceptions!"
Ichigo's father sighs of relief as he sits back on his sit and thought to himself. "Thank goodness that those things are gone... and I had program motion detectors around the whole school. Thank you Mr. Maker from TV. But I wonder... who stop them."
The four heroes got worry and Danny said while turning invisible, which spook both shinobi and Mew Mew. "Guess I better go. Till we meet again!"
He then disappears, going intangible through the floor and leaves. Naruto also says his good-byes as he stretches his arms. "Well, I better go too. See ya!"
Before he leaves, Yugi realized why Naruto wanted to fight him and asks while holding his sword. "But Naruto-kun, didn't you need the Dragon Sword to be accepted to save and rescue your friend?"
Naruto made a small smile and says. "Well... Granny Hokage said to only retrieve it if it's in the wrong hands like that Dark Lord or whatever he calls himself, but... if it's the Dragon Knight, then he or she can have it. So… Good Luck!"
Yugi was very happy to hear that. He thought he might have lost his sword, but instead he made a friend. And being a friend of Yugi's, the young Dragon Knight want to help anyone he cares for out. He also made a small smile and replied back to his new friend. "Thank you. Naruto-kun... If you get the chance to save your friend, I will help you get him back. That's not a saying, that's a promise of a lifetime."
Naruto was surprised to hear that, especially to someone he fought and beaten him up badly. Mew Ichigo didn't know what they were talking about this friend, but she couldn't help but be part of it. "I don't know who you two are talking about, but I'll help too! A friend needs help and I want to help my friends out too!"
Naruto stares in surprise at both the Dragon Knight and the Mew Mew in so much joy that he began to cry a little. The two smiled as Naruto quickly cleaned off his tears and bowed to the two. "Thank you, you two! I won't ever forget this! Till we meet again!"
Naruto then turned around and left running, leaving the two behind. Both Yugi and Mew Ichigo gave each other a smile and the tri-color haired hero said happily to her. "Well... here we are again."
"Yeah! Like last night." The Mew Mew said her cheeks were reddish because of Yugi's smile. Yugi nods as he asks her. "Were you also patrolling this part of town again?"
Mew Ichigo nods, lying of course for the patrolling the town, as she replies. "Of course! I promise you that I'll help you beat that demon dragon together."
Yugi was happy to hear that as he tells her with a happy tone. "I'm glad that you're my friend."
This made Mew Ichigo to blush even more reddish. She was happy to hear that from Yugi, still considering her Mew Mew self as a friend. She questions as she hides her face from Yugi. "You think of me as your friend?"
Yugi nods with a serious, smiling face and responds. "Yes, I do! Mew Ichigo... I... I... I..."
Yugi felt nervous to continue saying his words as he does like-like the Mew Mew, so much. He was unable to finish because everyone started to leave their classroom.
"I better get going! But first…" Mew Ichigo notices this and walks towards Yugi very fast. Yugi's face turns red as Mew Ichigo kisses him on his right cheek. She smiles gently as she walks away as she waves goodbye. "Bye Yugi-kun, till we meet again!"
Mew Ichigo winks at Yugi just as she starts running. Yugi was left alone in his head, wanting to say thanks for what she did and finish what he wanted to say, but he still felt too happy to see her again. And he couldn't help but not understand why he's still blushing.
While running, Mew Ichigo sees Jonouchi finally coming out of the classroom in a hurry. He felt relief that he can search for Yugi, but then that changed quickly when he saw her coming towards him. Like for a moment, time itself froze to allow Jonouchi to notice her pink hair, her cat ears and tail.
"That hair... those ears... and that stupid weird tail... it's her!" Jonouchi thought to himself as he glares at the Mew Mew. Mew Ichigo was shocked to even see that idiot as she was very worried that he learn who she was. "Oh oh! This is bad."
With his anger finally reveal, Jonouchi points his finger towards her and shouts. "YOU EVIL CAT!"
This left an anger mark over Mew Ichigo's head. With that, she jumps up to the air on top of Jonouchi and stomps her right foot on Jonouchi's face just when he raises it. The pain was unbelievable for him as she would be that heavy to use his face like an extra platform. This caused Jonouchi to automatically drop on to the floor, hard and painful. He also began to sneeze out of control from his allergies. Mew Ichigo then dropped back onto the floor and runs away to untransformed back to Ichigo Momomiya. Everyone, also Ichigo K and Rukia saw the cat girl running away.
"Who was that? She completely took out Jonouchi with one step on his head." Rukia asks the orange haired Ichigo with a suspicious look. Ichigo didn't answer her, but Orihime did. "That was a Mew Mew!"
"A what?" Rukia asked, left unbelievable surprise to hear such a thing as that. Ichigo then responds to her as he crosses his arms. "Well, I think I'm sure that she is one of six heroines of Tokyo known as Tokyo… something, no Mew Mew. I never put much attention to that."
Rukia was even more curious that Soul Society never learned of this as she questions even more. "But... who was she? In name, of course."
Yugi came to everyone, hiding his Dragon Sword again before anyone saw him, and answers. "That was Mew Ichigo."
Everyone was shocked and surprised as they turned to Ichigo K, who sweat dropped that they think he knew something… which he didn't. Anzu and Honda were relieved that Yugi was okay as Anzu was the first to talk to Yugi. "Yugi! You're okay. We were so worry!"
"Me too! But where were you and... There's a third Ichigo? Meow." Honda asks with a grin over his face, wanting to ask for her number. Yugi and Anzu sweated drop to even see this actually happening.
Jonouchi, who finally got up with a large red boot mark over his face, shouted rage in his tone "THAT EVIL CAT! She kicked me on the face, Yug! And her name is Ichigo too! What's with that name? I am starting to hate it! HATE IT!"
Everyone didn't say anything to him as they ignore him. Ichigo K had a suspicious face, but puzzled too. He thought to himself with great focus. "Another Ichigo? That name is getting famous now. But..."
Ichigo then looked at Yugi who was still looking at the direction where Mew Ichigo went while blushing. He had his super surprise look and continued in thought. "Does Yugi... no! That must be my imagination. Yeah!"
Then Ichigo M came back, running and exhausted, with a happy smile over her. Yugi was happy to see her okay, and relieve that she wasn't hurt. She had a small grin when Jonouchi still felt angry and pain from the boot stomp of Mew Ichigo's, aka hers! "Hi everyone! Is everything okay?"
Yugi answers with a quick wink. "Of course everything is okay. Why wouldn't it be?"
She understood with a nod that if everyone knew what had happened, it would be very bad so she went along with the plan. Anzu was curious about where those two were as she asked. "Where were you two? You two didn't come back after lunch when we trapped in there."
This got them thinking for an excuse, so they both said in a calm tone. "We… Were searching for Danny... because he got lost, trying to find the bathroom."
As soon as she said that, Danny showed up in a hurry, breathing heavily as he ran around the floor. "Hey guys, I got lost for a moment. But, I'm here now."
Both Yugi and Ichigo signs of relief that he didn't say something that would suspect of doing something else. With everyone asking Yugi and Danny about what happened, Jonouchi was able to speak to Ichigo M alone, for how bad he felt to ruin her first day. "Umm... umm..."
"What! You want to insult me again." The red-haired Ichigo shouted at the blond-headed idiot, thinking he would insult her again. Jonouchi now didn't want to say anything to her, but had to or Anzu will scowl him for this. He continues saying in a nervous tone, having a hard time to say the magic words. "Um... I'm... sorry."
This surprised her when Jonouchi apologized. She didn't expect him of all people to say sorry to her. He continues his apology to Ichigo while he rubs the back of his head. "I didn't mean to be a jerk with you, which you are, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable here. I don't have to like you or think of you as a friend, but... I'll try to get used with..."
He stops at that sentence as he blows a big sneeze out. Ichigo smiles a little to see how Jonouchi's nose turned red and his eyelids too, and also how he was sorry for what he did. "Don't worry; I'll get used with you too. And are you okay?"
Jonouchi's nose was running and his eyes too as he replies to her with a stiff tone. "Sorry, my allergies. I really don't like cats."
"Well... sorry. But, you'll get used with them." Ichigo M said nicely to him which Jonouchi didn't believe that. "I doubt it."
Then Mr. Momomiya appeared, running to everyone. He was glad with a big sigh to see that everyone was okay, especially his daughter.
"Seems like everyone is okay. So... the fire drill was a success." Mr. Momomiya declares with a grin over his face, although he was scared that no one got hurt. Yugi raised an eyebrow when Ichigo's father said that. "A fire drill? Does... he know what happened here?"
Ichigo's father approaches his daughter and hugs her for how scared he was for his princess. "You okay dear?"
Ichigo M nods to her father and replies with a smile "I'm fine. But... this was a fire drill?"
Mr. Momomiya was hesitated when she asked him that, but he was able to respond to her question. "Yes, but something hit the power lines and... Well, I switched the supply power and here we are."
Ichigo M was now off when her father just said that; he lied about what has happened. "Why is my dad lying? Is he... hiding something from me?"
Mr. Momomiya takes a breath in and then out as he declares serious. "Okay everyone, time to leave the school. One by one."
The students follow their principal's order as they left their classrooms. As everyone began to leave the school, Mr. Momomiya stops Yugi. "Can I ask you something?"
Yugi blinks as he notices something was wrong with Ichigo's father by just staring in his eyes. "Sure, what's wrong?"
"About last night... thank you for protecting my Ichigo. I know you would care about her as a friend." The honorable father thanks Yugi as he bows to him. Yugi blushes that Ichigo's father would do all this for just protecting Ichigo, which he had to. Then he got serious and ask the tri-color haired teen. "But... what was the name of the attacker again?"
"Well... oh that. He called himself… Dark something, something. I never got the chance to hear it well." Yugi lied, knowing it would be dangerous if someone like him knew his name. Mr. Momomiya was quiet after hearing what Yugi had to say. He just nodded and said. "Okay. Thanks again! See you tomorrow."
So Yugi left in a hurry to catch up to everyone else. Mr. Momomiya Tokadul felt like... unsure but he knew Yugi hide the villain's name from him. He thought to himself with a concern look in his eyes. "I am sure he was talking about you, Dark Lord. He is back and he's more dangerous than before. I can't allow him to find or even know about Ichigo. I need to be ready... like Sacto told me."
As everyone left for the day, Ichigo M was able to find Masaya who was looking for her too. He was again worry about her, but she explained again that Yugi was there for her. Masaya was glad to hear that with a smile.
"Well Masaya-kun, I have to get going. I do have a job you know." Ichigo finally spoke as she stretches her arms up. Masaya was surprised that she's going to work for today after everything had happened to her yesterday and today, making him very concern for her well safety. "So, your boss still wants you to work after just moving to another house."
"You know Ryou; he's my busy boss who loves to see me suffer." Ichigo scowls when she mention his name, but in a happy tone for her boyfriend. Masaya smiles a little, not happy that he couldn't go with her. "I'm sorry I can't come with you."
Ichigo shook her head and said with confidence and a big smile. "Don't worry! We'll have time to see each other next time like tomorrow! See you tomorrow, Masaya-kun!"
Masaya smiles, knowing he will see her tomorrow. She goes off running as he waves goodbye. "Right! We'll go out when I have time. Have a good night, Momomiya-san!"
Ichigo smiles happily as she felt happy to at least she talked to him. With her Masaya-kun, she felt like there's nothing to worry about. Then Yugi appears, barely catching up to her and says with a small smile. "Masaya-san really likes you a lot."
She then blushes that she didn't notice he was beside her. It made her also happy to see him. She says with a nervous and surprise tone. "Yugi-kun! Don't scare me silly. And... Yes, he does. So do you, right?"
This made Yugi uncomfortable, but said with a nervous tone. "What?! I didn't say that!"
She starts laughing and replies. "No! I was just kidding! But... you do care about me right?"
Yugi says with a smile and a calm nod. "I do... in a friendship thing. So... are you going home?"
"No, sadly to say. I have a job to go to." Ichigo said with a small frown over her face. This surprised Yugi to think Ichigo Momomiya has work and asked her. "You have a job?"
Ichigo forgot to tell him that and answered him. "Yeah, I forgot to tell you about that. My job is as a waitress in Café Mew Mew."
"Café Mew Mew? You mean that place that said to have a connection with Tokyo Mew Mew?" Yugi replies in a questionable tone. Ichigo grins a little as she replies. "The very same coffee/tea/dessert restaurant that inspires and support Tokyo Mew Mew. That same one."
Ichigo takes a pause as she looks up in the sky, remembering why she has to work there or else. "The same one… I've work there like, since a long time. Hey Yugi-kun, do you want to see the café and meet my other friends who work there too?"
Yugi was glad to hear that she wants him to come. He would say yes, 100%. But... he remembered about Jenny and her pan of death. He says in a sad look and tone. "I loved too, but I can't today because of Jenny. I really want to go, but she gets upset and... Who knows what she might do to me? Something… cruel."
She felt sad to hear that, but she understood. She replies to him as she slaps the back of Yugi's back. "Don't worry! Next time, like tomorrow."
"Really?" Yugi asks, hoping he might see where she works at. She nods and he feels happy again. He gives her a thumb up and says with a smile: "Then I'll see you tomorrow, Ichigo-kun!"
The cherry pigtail girl was very happy to hear that she says before running to work. "Thank you so much Yugi-kun! See you later!"
She waves goodbye and leaves to her job. Yugi really wanted to come, but this was better too. Yami also notices that his partner was more than happy. The Pharaoh was curious even more if Yugi had a thing for the red hair girl that appeared in his life, but he made sure not to ask him as he demanded. "Should we go?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, we're going. Jonouchi and everyone else couldn't go today and Danny has to go home early too, so it's just us." Yugi answers him mentally, remembering that the others have their own stuff and so on. Yami then questioned about the ninja or Shinobi they fought today. "You think that Naruto's mission will be okay without your sword."
"Of course! That whole fight and how we met him felt like... someone wanted me and him to meet somehow." Yugi says, thinking how strange everything went to be with what was happening. It felt very sure; someone was playing with these events.
Yami also agreed with his partner on that. "I too had thought of that. This was more than a mission like how Dark Leader Dragon sent those monster minions of his."
"Yeah. This isn't going to be the end of him yet, right?" Yugi questioned the Pharaoh, unsure if this nightmare will ever end with the Dark Lord. He has dealt with many foes, but the Dark Lord is someone completely unpredictable to figure. The Pharaoh nodded that he was a dangerous foe, and he would have been much more worry about it; but he wasn't because he has seen how much Yugi did to gain those powers and powerful allies too in such a short time.
"No. But, with our new power and new allies, we can do it." The Pharaoh replied which raised up Yugi's courage up. "That's more like it! We do have a chance, our bonds are our power!"
Yami smiles to hear that from Yugi, he has grown a lot, but he hasn't changed who he is. "You haven't changed a lot, Yugi."
Yugi began to chuckle and said in thought. "Thanks Yami. Let's get home before Jenny gets upset and does something that will hurt me. Like that evil pan. Evil."
Yami agrees and they left the school in a hurry. And boy was Yugi sweat dropping on the walk home about the pan. Ichigo K saw him leaving and thought to himself with a concerning stare. "I wonder what that strange energy was last night and today when Yugi, Momomiya and Danny were gone. I have to keep my eyes open, but... is this "his" doing."
Leaving him with more thoughts in his mind, Ichigo Kurosaki decides to go home before he explodes of over thinking.
After another close call and meeting new rivals and friends appear in his life, Yugi seems that much determine to stop the Dark Lord and whatever he might be up to. Can he do it? Can Ichigo M actually be the heroine she is meant to be? Will Naruto cause problems again? Will Danny's secret be exposed? And will Ichigo K learn of what's happening? Well find that out and more, next time!

Yugi: I seem to always get attracted by evil, but I guess that means I also meet good friends.
Jenny hands over Pikachu: Don't start that nonsense. Here's your partner.
Yami: Partner?
Yugi smiles: He sure is. He was very important to me when I was still very young.
Jenny: Anyway, he's now your responsibility!
Yugi sweat drops: At least you're being soft on me. Hehehe!
Dark Leader Dragon: That brat must die as soon as possible!
Dark General Knight: My lord, leave him to me.
Dark Leader Dragon: I had someone else who might be able to help me. But just be on standby, just in case.
Dark General Knight glares evilly: It would be my honor, my lord.
Yugi: Another fight is blowing my way. I might have to make sure I beat anyone who would harm my friends and love ones. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: …
