Konnichiwa! Sorry for not updating! And a very Happy Thanksgiving to all people!

I just want to add that this chapter's name was actually the one of an episode in the

English version. And Sorceress Vanessa may guest-star if I can email her to by next

chapter.

Jenny (appears, eyeing Draconmouth's bottle): What's the life potion for?

Draconmouth: Uh-

Joey (appears with a newspaper): Did you hear this? All of the turkeys have escaped from

Publix, and were found dressed in black and holding a funeral. No turkey! (starts crying

and disappears)

Jenny: Authoress-

Draconmouth: So what if I'm an environmentalist? I HATE ANIMALS BEING

KILLED! Anyway, I do not own Yugioh!, and this contains "Friends 'Till the End", or

"Joey's Betrayal" ON WITH THE FIC ! ************************************************************************

Yami decided it would be best if we called Tea on her cell phone. While Kaiba

waited outside, Yami and I were in a phone booth. "Tea, are you there?" Yami called

through as soon as we heard it picked up. "Yugi, help."the girl's voice sounded

helpless. "Tea? Where are you?" I shouted, but then there was a click. I guessed this was

when the Rare Hunter smashed the phone on the ground. "Well?" Kaiba asked us as we

stepped out. "I fear we're too late", Yami said in reply. Then Kaiba clicked a sort of

earphone on his trench coat, and I heard Mokuba's voice, but could make neither hide nor

hair of it. (No pun intended). "It seems like either my duel disk system is malfunctioning-

" "-or?" I prompted. "Or these Rare Hunters are smarter than I thought", Kaiba began

walking, and Yami and I followed suit. I kept my eyes on the buildings, seeing one of the

Rare Hunters doing amazing martial arts. It still looked odd, though, considering he was

wearing a robe with the Millennium Symbol on it. Only Yami and Kaiba were caught off

guard when he landed in front of us, but I was shaken up also. The short Rare Hunter

pointed behind us, and we saw a kid with black hair (who I guessed was Mokuba) tied to

it. "Big brother, help! Help me Seto!" he shouted. "Mokuba!" Kaiba exclaimed in shock,

confirming my thoughts. "This is ridiculous!" I told the Rare Hunters. "A cowardly

attempt just to please your so-called master Marik. What have we done to you?" The

Rare Hunter smiled. "What Marik wants is not of your concern, but I'm sure that Master

Marik will find you a good place in the Shadow Realm." I clenched my fists. Yami

placed a hand on my shoulder to calm me down. The Rare Hunter told us to meet him at

the top of a skyscraper, just like he did on the show. I let off an inward growl. No way

was I going to the Shadow Realm! "And I thought Yami Bakura was scary", I

commented to no one in particular.

The building was the same as it had been on the show (except for the fact that it

was glowing), me watching from the sidelines. Ami and Kaiba were on one side, while

Lumis and Umbra were on the other. They explained the Shadow Realm thing, which I

had found highly ridiculous. "They should have left this part of the show intact", I said

under my breath. [AN: For those of you who are confused, in the original Japanese

version of Yugioh!, there was no Shadow Realm in this duel. The players merely fell to

their deaths. Why they changed this is obvious; violence rating) Kaiba looked at me

suspiciously, then they got on with the duel. I held my breath as it went on, when Kaiba's

Blue Eyes was on the field. I didn't say anything, except for occasional comments and

helpful hints. Come on, Yami, I thought, Win this one. Joey and Tea's lives depend on

this. I felt like Ishizu since I knew how this duel was going to end. Kaiba used Soul

Exchange to sacrifice Lumis's (Umbra's?) three monsters to summon Obelisk the

Tormentor. He then attacked Umbra directly, and so Umbra fell, but even Rare Hunters

have their last tricks. He opened a parachute, which clung onto a ledge. Yami warned

Kaiba not to attack Lumis since revenge was not the key. So, Lumis surrendered, but was

then controlled by Marik. 'Marik' said the same stuff as last time, again referring to me a

"little". By then I was in a bad mood, but all I did was clench my fists really hard and

shout at him. When he finally stopped, I said, "The nerve!" I could feel fire radiating

from me. Then we felt a helicopter fly near us. "Isn't that one of your helicopters?" Yami

asked Kaiba. Then Mokuba appeared. "Seto!" he shouted. "Mokuba! You escaped!"

Kaiba exclaimed. Mokuba explained to us that Tea had helped him escape, so Kaiba,

always hating to keep favors, told us to get in the helicopter. But Mokuba needed an

introduction of me, but it didn't take long to explain my "story" that I had been separated

from my family for two days now. He offered to try to find my relatives, but I said that he

didn't need to. Besides Yugi, he was my favorite character on the show. We all boarded

the helicopter, and the tracking system began to fire up. In a moment we were in the air.

Kaiba asked Yami who Marik was. "I don't know what he looks like, but I know

that he has a Millennium Item which he uses to control people." "That's insane!" Kaiba

exclaimed. "No kidding, but it's true. Marik wants Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, along with

the spirit of the Pharaoh in it", I added. "Spirit of the Pharaoh?" Mokuba repeated. I

nodded. "How do you know this?" Kaiba demanded. It was then I couldn't hide my lies. I

told Yami without words that I was going to let Kaiba know the truth. "Before I begin,

Kaiba, I must ask you not to interrupt. I am not truly from this world. I am from another

dimension where this world is just a TV show." Kaiba and Mokuba looked like they were

going to interrupt, but due to my request, they kept silent. "We do occasionally duel in

our world, but these are without holograms. According to my brother, it will be about 40-

50 years before we use them to duel. The show is called Yugioh! and one of my favorites.

"I also have the ability to walk through solid objects due to mutant genes. I got in

this world when my brother stole my dueling deck for fun, and I was chasing him around

in the living room. The problem was I had accidentally phased through the television just

as there was a power outage. How I am going to get back is a mystery." "There's no

evidence that this is true", Kaiba insisted. I opened my backpack and took out my deck.

"Then explain why I have a Blue Eyes White Dragon in my deck, along with two others."

I lifted them up. Mokuba examined them. "They're genuine, Seto", he confirmed. Kaiba

left the matter and tried to ask Yami more about the Pharaoh. There were a lot of things

that he said in that weren't in the show, and Kaiba actually believed him about Marik's

Millennium Rod. I would have told him what I knew, but instead I gave him a small hint,

"The one who appears to be the enemy may not be." They were confused, but I told them

it wouldn't be fair if they knew what was going to happened. I was glad that they agreed

with me. Yami told Kaiba about the Pharaoh's legend, and I remarked that Yami was

only a nickname since we did not know his real name. Part of my mind was telling me

that it was probably Yugioh, but I wasn't sure. I wondered if Kaiba was a high priest or a

sorcerer. I had seen fics show him as both, so I wasn't sure. [AN: Note to self- ask

Sorceress Vanessa if she wants to appear in the "disclaimer" before the start of the

chapter.] I winced as I pictured Joey and Tea mind-controlled. This was so not going to

be fun.
