Author's Notes: I can't BELIEVE how nice you reviewers are! Llyxius, you are SO awesome! Since December is only made up of days (no matter how loooong this holiday season has been without my brother), I'll have you know that your reviews do brighten up my day, and I love hearing what parts you like best! Especially since a few of them were Henry (my bro's) quotes, so reading them make me smile. And thanks to Cranky Cathe for rooting me on! :)
This chapter was made possible by Jenni! Jenni, I love you SOO MUCH! I'm just going to thank you here a million times over and ask the REVIEWERS TO THANK YOU ALSO. *hint hint*
No Disclaimer Necessary! *ducks under the table to hide from attorneys stricken with mad-cow disease* Er, never mind, I don't own YuGiOh. And no one has paid me to do this. It's all fun and games. (*Silver's mom pops up over her shoulder, adds chipperly, "Yeah, until someone loses an eye!")
DAY NINETEEN:
Guess what I get to do now. Yuh huh. I get to duel Joey.
Let's start tallying the odds and taking bets on THIS duel now. Am quite confident; Joey has dumb luck (emphasis on the 'dumb') but he never would've gotten on the BOAT without me.
.....Noo....this cannot be happening. My raisin-which-serves-as-a-heart seems to have built a spot for Joey. Tiny spot. Teeny. Negatable, however, it is not. Must meditate or something. Right. Picture terrible things: Exodia being destroyed. Kaiba's ugly mug. Dozens of miniature Kaibas, multiplying faster than Kuriboh.
That did it. Joey's going down.
First, will test him with Celtic Guardian. Nope. He destroyed it. Okay...a mistake like that should not go unpunished. Will tell Joey this. Now that I've done that, back to the duel.
Hehe! Joey's fallen right into my trap. Has made 'Black Skull Dragon'. Will smirk at him to throw him off guard.
Going to destroy Joey with...uh huh you guessed it, The Dark Magician. Stupid Joey. Playing combo that *I* taught him. As if I wouldn't have some way around it! Anyway. Over-used combo is playing 'Time Wizard' with 'Baby Dragon'. Will sit back smug and secure and wait.
Will not warn him of bad consequences of this last action, because of that comment he made on beating me and knowing all my strategies. Jerk off.
EWWWW! I miss Egypt when people died of horrible diseases before they could start drooling all over themselves in their old age like the Dark Magician is! Ewww! Must end this quickly and vow to kill Yugi before he gets that old. (Secret note to keep from Joey until later: 'Dark Magician' is now 'Dark Mage'. Because of Joey's Time Wizard! Say you know all my moves NOW, Wheeler!)
Will now kill off his life points with his own monster!
....No, not again. No. Bad heart. Bad heart! Stop it! What is this? A tear? In my eye? No. Look like a fool. Don't want to destroy Joey....
Imagining him bawling like a baby or committing suicide; or worse yet, hiring gangsters to kill me and take my hard-earned 3 million dollars. Am angry. Will have to win; must save Yugi's grandpa! But...but....but....ok. Will also give Wheeler the money.
*sigh* What sort of existence have I come to? I remember tossing people who crossed me into the crocodile/hippopotamus infested water of the Nile. Remember being ultimate, supreme ruler. Remember......oh crap. Must keep 'dark' past from Yugi now. Will have to build some sort of maze-and-booby-trap infested tomb inside my mind to keep him from snooping around too much.
Oh, back to the duel. I just won. Joey *seems* to be still on good terms with me and Yugi. Will keep my eye on him anyway, at least until Croquet gives me my-er, Joey's-money.
DAY TWENTY
Is time for my first duel with Pegasus. And yes, he can read my mind. What does he know? Can he tell what kind of underwear I'm wearing? Oh Ra...this was NOT a good day to be wearing those pink boxers. Must go change them.
Right, NOW I'm ready. Am wearing very manly yet slightly-more-uncomfortable black briefs. Oh, did I mention I'm sensing Bakura somewhere around here? The evil one. Is very irksome. Pissing me off. Driving me into a rage.
Also, have lost dozens of monsters. Okay. Dozens is an overstatement. But still. Am losing; am having my mind read; am scared. No. No, not scared. Not scared. Hear me, Pegasus? First, I am NOT scared. Second, stop reading my diary, you gold-eyed freakasaurus!
Agh. Don't know how to beat Toony monsters, and I bet that's what he'll use next. Must cheat or something. Am now to 900 life points. This is getting ugly. I really wish I could get in the lead.
Ohhh...so it takes TEA telling Yugi that I have magic to get him to ask for my help in something other than strategy? Gee. Feel like trash now. Or an ignored kid, except am so much older than everyone else. Must ignore fact that I also forgot about my magic, because then I would feel stupid and my Confidence Level would dip below 'cocky', and THEN I would lose the duel.
Pegasus is getting annoyed with our 'Mind Shuffling'....have the feeling he will do something to stop us. Why must I always be right? And he-ere we go into the Shadow Realm!
A/N: That's it for today, folks! This is shorter because I've been in the mood to write Kaiba, not Yami this week. So I'm updating practically all my YGO fics. Go read 'Mirror Force' too! (Hehe, I'm aloud to ask people to read someone else's story, even if it's in my profile.) :) Namarie!
