A/N: *hides behind corner* Hey, guys long time no see. I have a good reason while I was gone so long and have not updated in months. You see my laptop was acting up, as you all probably know, and could only get small chapters in before it crashed. Well I am pleased to tell you that I had a neighbor come and fix it and its working like new again! Now I will and post chapters as often as I can! Which will not be much, I'm sorry to say, since exams are coming around and I need to study. But because I've been such an ass on these chapters I will make a long chapter just for you! And as you may noticed I changed my name from Anne Elric to Ishimaru Natsumi.

"So what was all that about?"
Yuugi glanced at Ryou, who had come over to see what was wrong. Yuugi sighed before answering.
"Widow Underwood met me out here and started talking about my duel with Kaiba and how I had Exodia in my deck. She went on about how she wanted to see them, I did, and she started on how she couldn't find a way defeat it. She said that only now did she have a solution, and threw my cards over the railing. I felt angry, you could say, and I jumped in after them. Not my smartest move. I only managed to find three before I started to drown," Yuugi hissed out in pain as she grabbed her leg.
"Yuugi what's wrong?!"
Joy rushed to her side and grabbed her shoulders, while she began taking deep breaths.
"My leg. I think that there was something down there that cut it and-" Yuugi once again hissed in pain before she let go of her left leg to reveal a deep 3-inch cut on her calf. The blood was sluggishly falling and smeared across her palms.
"Ahh! Ryou get my bag. I brought an emergency kit just in case. Bring it here. Quickly!"
Ryou nodded and left and only the soothing words of Joy and Yami were heard.
"Yuugi!"
She slightly turned her head to find…..Trey and Trisha!
"How did you guys get on the ship?"
Trey put his jacket on her shaking figure before answering.
"We sneaked on board in a cargo ship. And we saw Ryou running from this way and only told us that you were here before she left. Oh there she is now."
And she was. She had Yuugi's duffel bag clutched tightly between her fingers. She immediately kneeled in front of her and opened the bag in a frantic manner. She took out the emergency kit and got an alcohol swipe out.
"Yuugi I'm sorry but this going to sting…..a lot."
She then gently started to wipe the cut over Yuugi's constant screaming. Once the cut was clean, she put something to stop the bleeding and tightly wrapped it in gauze.
[It's over Yuugi. Ryou's finished. You can stop crushing Joy's fingers now], Yami spoke mentally, feeling the smirk in her mind.
Yuugi opened her to see that Ryou was done, her leg neatly wrapped and not bleeding like crazy. Yuugi smiled softly and looked at Ryou.
"Thanks a lot Ryou; you know you should really become a nurse."
Ryou blushed. "I was thinking about it after I finished school."
Yuugi smiled, but immediately it vanished.
[Widow…..]
[That's it! When we get to Duelist Kingdom, I'm taking her out first!]
[Calm down Yami. We'll both take her out. Together.]
"In another few hours, the sun will rise. We should get some sleep guys. We'll need it." Trisha said.
The ship slid silently over the ocean. The interactions between Widow and Yuugi were kept secret because Yuugi didn't bother anyone with her problems. Go figure. And the next morning they arrived in Duelist Kingdom. Trisha pointed the small speck of land over the horizon.
"Hey look there's the island! We're finally here! I just hope they don't notice me and Trey are trespassing."
Joy cheered, "Aw Yeah! I'm ready for this!"
"AAACCHHOOOOO!"
Yuugi sniffed. She looked around noticing how Joy had jumped at her sneeze.
"Aw, sorry Yug."
"No, it's OK. I know what I did was stupid. I was just so mad at Widow for what she did to my cards I didn't think of what I was doing."
"Ahh. Don't apologize Yuugi. It's just it really ticks me off that you didn't do nothing to her. Why?"
"You know I hate violence."
"ATTENTION DUELISTS! ALL DUELISTS WILL NOW HEAD TOWARDS THE CASTLE FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! PLEASE FOLLOW THE UNNECESSARILY LONG STAIRCASE TO MEET YOUR HOST."
"It's really a castle. Pegasus has some strange tastes," Ryou said offhandedly.
"ATTENTION DUELISTS! WE WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE RULES! Madame Pegasus if you would do the honors…"
Maxine Pegasus stepped forward, her bright red women's suit shining in the sunlight as well as her silver hair, looking down at the duelists before eyeing Yuugi's crazy tri-colored hair.
"Welcome Duelists, to Duelist Kingdom! Let me assure that this tournament is 100% genuine and is not in any way a ruse thrown at the last minute so that I can get my hands on an ancient Egyptian artifact. On another note, allow me to explain the rules of this very special tournament! The duels will only take place with official Duel Monsters cards only. I hope you all have brought your most powerful decks. If you are not sure, you may trade with each other. Each of you should have received a dueling glove and two star chips. At this time please put your glove on your right hand."
Yuugi reached for glove, which she stored in an outside pocket of her bag, and strapped hers on as well as Ryou. Joy stuffed her star chip in her pants.
"On the glove you should find ten crevices where you can place your star chips. These star chips are essentially your life as a duelist! Whenever you duel in this tournament, you must stake one or more chips on the outcome Remember kids, gambling is good for you!"
'I see. The loser surrenders the star chips they bet to the winner. If you lose all you star chips you lose…you're no longer qualified to be a participant! And since Joy and I only have one each we have to win our first duels.'
"The duels can take place anytime, anywhere on the island. The first duelist to gain 10 star chips will win the honor of entering the castle. Only they will have a chance at the grand prize!
[The duels take place around the island huh? Why does a card tournament need such a large playing area? It seems that were playing a more advanced version of Duel Monsters. How very interesting.]
Yuugi nodded. Why around the island? Why make us walk around for each other? This all seems too suspicious.
"The duels will begin in one hour! The Tournament lasts for 2 days and no more! Once the time runs out those with less than 10 star chips will be eliminated! They will be declared the losers and be deported from the island and returned home! Now, duelists I pray for your success!"
-One hour later-
"ATTENTION DUELISTS, MAY THE DUELING BEGIN!"
A/N: OK I lied. It's not very long. But I needed a cliffhanger. And I need opinions.
I make it the original Japanese names (with gender bended differences) or keep the English(gender bended) names?
I make a prequel to this story that includes Season 0?
am I doing so far? Is there anything that I'm lacking in? Or should I better myself in something else? Please do not make it a flame. I just want your honest to bob opinion. And what can I do to make this story better? I will read your opinions.
