Redtailgirl: thanks for the review, I have written the next several chapters in advance and guess what there brilliant! They are.
Chaos Dragon Fox: the centaur was referring to both Ryo and Bakura and so combined their name into Rakura (I've seen the name and idea behind it been used in another fic so thought I'd try it out myself)
Shiroi-shan: in a future chapter Kaiba is going to experience sheer hell in a chapter I've dedicated just to him. Kaiba fearfully "why me? Torture Ishtar he enjoys it" he pleads. Marik angrily "hey it's my body too" he protests. Ishtar grins psychotically "but true" he claims. Me "now that wouldn't be as fun now would it?" smirking. Kaiba groans.
Ruby Red Raven: ngg…I knew I forgot something.
Weirdgirl1332: Hey that was my motivation behind that chapter I wanted to make voldermort more formidable and came up with a Shadi vs Voldermort fight (pity Shadi had to lose but otherwise the Pharaoh and co at Hogwarts wouldn't have anything to do now would they) Now anyone whose paying any attention should have realized theirs a pattern to Pegasus's lessons…Yugi – Unicorn, Ryo – Centaur and of course Kaiba will be Dragons and that leaves the Merpeople for Marik…Damn can he even swim? I know he arrived at Battle City by boat but that means nothing I've caught a ferry to France and I can't swim a stroke!
Chapter 46) Making the team
Friday finally came around and it was time for the Quiditch try outs of course a certain brunette CEO couldn't give a Damn. He was using the time to deal with the American Air Force who was holding up the American release of Kaiba's Duel Disk system.
Ryo, Marik and Yugi or rather their Yami's were ready to earn their respected places on the team and were confident enough of their abilities. Yami/Yugi as Yugioh and Marik were both trying out for chaser positions there were only two vacancies as the Quiditch Captain a tall strapping lass by the name of Angelina Johnson held the third. Fred and George of course held positions as Beaters. And Harry Potter presently stuck in detention held the Seeker position. Ryo and Bakura working together as Rakura were trying out for keeper position and would be going up against Ron Weasley who looked green around the gills, then there was McLaggen a hefty fourth year student who seemed to think he was gods gift to the world and came across at least to Rakura as a rather unpleasant cross between Kaiba, Marik, the pharaoh and a really ugly pig.
Yugioh and Marik were up first going against Katie Bell a stalwart from the old team, Ginny Weasley who shouldn't be underestimated, Dean Thompson who was mad on footie and as for the other applicants who cares about them? Angelina's test for the Chasers was simply she gave the applicant a Quaffle and had them fly across the field to the hoops and throw it through one of them, sounds simple doesn't it? What! To simple you say? Oh did I forget to mention Fred and George will be patrolling the field attempting to stop said applicants from scoring…not so simple now eh?
Of course many applicants had complained about the Beater position been passed over with Fred and George remaining on the team unchallenged, Angelina ignored them however feeling fairly confident that as soon as they saw the twins in action everyone would change their tune.
Ginny Weasley took under two minutes to score and avoided getting hit until just afterwards.
Dean Thompson took three minutes to score and also took three direct hits, after dismounting he hobbled towards the hospital wing.
And then it was Marik's turn he kicked of from the ground and straight from the start a bludger hit by George almost nails him missing his ear by half an inch at most. This he thinks is going to be fun he grins as he and Ishtar merge and swerve to avoid a bludger hit by Fred Marik Ishtar decides to go for speed and plough their way through to the hoops. Fred and George are taken by surprise at this approach and swoop after him unleashing a double barrage at him but Marik was moving to fast and the bludgers miss by millimeters, hunching down Marik aims for the middle hoop he was moving to fast to throw the blasted ball so he hoped this stunt would work :/of course it will work/: claims Ishtar immensely enjoying himself after all no game was complete without the threat of impending bloodshed.
Marik scored in under half a minute and wasn't hit once.
Marik shoots Yugioh a smirk unless he was very much mistaken his performance was by far the best yet and had no doubt earned him his place on the team. Yugioh wasn't overly concerned he had confidence in his own abilities. He kicks of from the ground this time Fred and George encircle him lazily apparently not rating him as much of a threat as Marik…Big Mistake! Rakura observed the game with some amusement Ryo rooting for his friend and Bakura going to enjoy watching the Pharaoh wipe those smug grins of their faces.
Yugioh dodges a bludger hit by Fred and swoops directly into the path of a bludger hit by George however he avoids it zig zaging in the air ::Can't get anywhere playing defensive:: Yami decides ::Have to attack:: he dodges another bludger and flies straight at Fred on a collision course, Fred's eye's bug out and he swerves out of the way and into the path of a bludger hit at Yugioh by his brother barely managing to get his bat up in time. "Sorry" George calls out apologetically as his brother glares at him Yugioh uses the valuable seconds gained by this distraction to reach the hoops and throw the Quaffle through the third hoop after which Yugioh performs a victory roll on a broomstick and soars down to join Marik who despite himself couldn't help but gaze up at Yugioh in admiration. While across from him Rakura laughed crazily at Fred and Georges expressions.
