oos: *cries in happiness* THANK YOU SO MUCH REVIEWERS! *dabs away tears* *sniffs* Alright, on to the story *types furioiusly in response to poke* Oh, and I wanted to mention that I might be gaining an aibou myself next chapter just cause it's fun! hehe, plus I want a change... and this is my first attempt at writing a duel. I play Yu-Gi-Oh myself, but I've never written how I played. Get it? Oh well, you better, cauz here I go... :P You know what? I decided the duel will be next chappie and this one will be what goes on while Yami and Coaldet are dueling.

*....* = private thoughts (......) What Lisa didn't know was happening.

Both duelists waited as Kaiba Corp's latest dueling disk model loaded up their life points to 4000. "So who are you anyway?" I asked the annoying idiot who was dueling Yugi. (Insert: Anime fall) (hehhe) "I am Coaldet the Cruiser!" he yelled back at me as they drew five cards. "What a stupid name!" I retaliated. "More like Coaldet the LOSER!" Coaldet obviously was not used to/could not take teasing. "Den! Brutus! PLEASE!" I looked around, puzzled. "What, do you have attack dogs?" I wondered aloud, then yelped as I was picked up by two of his friends. "I thought we agreed that the duel's outcome would decide her fate," Yami eyed Coaldet cooly. "They're not doing anything to her, just... removing her from the duel area," I heard him reply as I was dragged, kicking and biting, away from the duel. "Feisty little demon, isn't she?!" One of the goons chuckled to the other. He stopped abruptly as I kicked him in the groin. As he recovered, the other guy took over and held me face to face with him. His breath was atrocious. "Look, missy. I suggest you cooperate. Coaldet the Cruiser might have agreed to your boyfriend's terms, but I didn't. Hello?" I was looking past him into the window of a candy shop. There was a pixie stick. I stared at it, practically drooling. He followed my gaze. I snapped out of it, shaking my head, then resumed kicking and yelling. "STOP - IT - GOD - DAMNIT!" He screamed at me. "Den!" he called to the other guy (obviously Den). *This must be Brutus...* I thought and took a mental note of that. "Go buy her a pixie stick!" The very mention of that wonderful goodness made my eyes go dreamy. *Sugar! Sugar! Sugar!* sang my very soul. A pixie stick was thrust into my face and broke me out of my thoughts. I ripped it open and downed the contents in a single gulp. "Damnit!" said Brutus in admiration and handed me another. And another. And another. I guess they figured if I had enough I would shut up and stop struggling.

I'm ashamed to admit it worked.

However, there was an itsy bity detail they forgot to add into the equation. "I like sugar, do you like sugar, does Coaldet like sugar? I like pixie sticks too! Do you know what else?! Huh? HUH?! Well, I like monkeys and horses and Yu-Gi-Oh, but I don't like my math teacher 'cause she's mean. And I like sugar, did I mention that? I can't remember, yeah, I do, and I love cheese, my mom gave me cheese when I was little and said I said it was the best thing I ever ate, that is until I got pixie sticks. You know, maybe pixie sticks are better than coffee. Do you like coffee? I like coffee, Yugi let me drink some and I was only a little hyper, I suppose I'm hyper now aren't I? Did I say I liked sugar? Someday I'm gonna buy a pony and-" I rattled on, a mile a minute, until Brutus began twitching and Den started ramming his head into the wall. Then they finally broke.

(Brutus made Den buy another pixie stick. "Stick this into it," he hissed and shoved his partner a little vial of white powder. Den dumbly obeyed. When he was finished, he handed it back to Brutus.)

Brutus handed me yet another pixie stick. "Yeah!" I cried, forgetting my previous conversation between me, myself, and I at once (lol!). I grabbed the tube and sucked out the sugar. I began talking again non-stop when I suddenly felt sleepy. "Yeah, and......" I slowed down and gave a slow yawn. My eyes rolled back into my head as I fought to stay awake. I lost the battle. My head nodded and dropped to rest on my chest as I drifted into peaceful slumberland. "Thank damnit!" cried Brutus and picked me up under his arm. I flopped around like a rag doll. "Let's go," he called to Den and the two walked back to the dueling area.
