Chapter 2 Ken/Yu-gi-oh
Part 1 It's time to duel

Darkness swirled all around him, he see anything, feel anything, he couldn't even move, he was just falling. There was a thud. Ken opened his eyes. He was lying on his back, there was a face looking into his.

"Hey kid are you alright?" A blonde boy was looking down at him.

"Joey get outta his face, he just came to, you're gonna scare him." A brown haired boy behind him said.

"I will not!" Joey turned on the other kid.

A short boy just shook his head at the two who were now fighting, then held his hand out to Ken. Ken looked up at him confused. He took the kids hand and stood up.

"Are you okay?" The little boy asked. "You collapsed outside my grandpas shop."

Ken nodded. Everything was coming back to him now. Why he was here and what he was looking for. "Yeah I'm okay." he glanced around quickly, where was wormmon?

"That's good." The little boy looked relived. "I'm Yugi, and those two are Joey and Tristan."

"Hiya!" Joey grinned.

"Hi." Tristan waved. "Don't mind Joey he's an idiot."

"Oh shut up ya jerk." Joey glared.

"You can both be pretty thick headed sometimes." A female voice behind them laughed.

"Oh hi Tea" Yugi smiled. "Umm this is... what's your name?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm Ken." Ken fave a quick bow, still glancing around for wormmon.

"Maybe he didn't make it through." Ken thought.

"Okay, Ken this is Tea." Yugi said.

"Hi." Tea smiled. "So you guys are we still gonna go to the mall and see the new duel monsters display?"

"Of coarse wouldn't miss it for the world!" Joey grinned. "I can get some more cards to help out my deck."

"It'd take alot more than a few cards to help your deck out." Tristan taunted

"Ah shut up will ya? Who won second place in the dulist kingdom? Huh tell me that?" Joey bragged.

"Do you wanna come along?" Yugi turned to Ken. "If you're feeling okay that is, and if you don't have anything important to do."

"What exactly is duel monsters?" Ken asked awkwardly.

They all stared at him.

"You've never heard of duel monsters?" Joeys jaw dropped.

"Even Tea's got a deck." Tristan stared at him. "You've never heard of them?!"

"Well maybe he's not from around here you guys." Tea stuck up for him. "It's not like the whole world revolves around duel monsters like your lives do."

"Yeah." A blush rose in Kens cheeks. "I'm... not from around here."

"That's okay," Yugi smiled up at him. "We'll tell you all about it."

Ken walked with Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey toward the mall while Yugi and Joey explained all about duel monsters. Ken listened with interest. When they arrived at the mall they saw a big sign with a blue eyes white dragon on it reading "Duel monsters card expo"

"I wonder if I can get my hands on some reallly good cards here." Joey looked at the sign hopefully.

"We'll never find out standing out here." Yugi opened the door. "Let's go." They all filed into the mall after Yugi.

Ken hung back a second when he heard a rustling in the bushes. He glanced down and saw wormmon crawl out.

"Hello Ken, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm glad you're alright. I was begining to worry. Here pretend you're a stuffed animal." Ken scooped him up and went inside.

Rows on rows of tables with cards for sale lined the walls. While they were all looking around Ken stole behind a pillar and took out his digivice. He turned on the scanner he's been given to find the keeper of the seal. Sure enough there was a little blip on the screen.

"It's near by! It's right here in the mall! Probably in this hallway." Ken said quietly. Looking around the hallway to see where it was pointing.

"What is?"

Ken shoved his digivice in his pocket and spun around. Tea was behind him.

"Ummm, where I can learn how to play duel monsters." He said quickly.

"Yeah, there's a guy over there who'll let you play a trial game. I think Yugi and Joey taught you enough of the rules for you to try. Hey where'd you get that?" she pointed at wormmon.

"Umm a game machine." Ken siad quickly

"Cool, I can never win at those things. It gets kinda annoying."

"Yeah, I don't usually either." Ken headed towards the table, Tea followed him.

"I can't believe it." Ken thought. "That little Yugi kid has the item that will show me the keeper of the seal."

"So you wanna try playing kid?" The guy at the table asked.

"Huh?" Ken snapped back from his thoughts.

"Yeah, he's new. He dosen't have a deck yet and he's never played before so go easy on him." Tea smiled.

"Okay, you can use this deck." The guy passed a stack of cards across
the table. "Have a seat."

Reluctantly Ken sat down. Kari had said they only had three days, maybe less, he didn't want to waste time playing games.

"But how do I get the item I need from that Yugi kid? How do I even know what it is unless I use the digivice? And then people will wanna know what the heck I'm doing." he set wormmon down under his seat.

"Hey you guys what'cha doin?" Yugi, Joey and Tristan came over.

"Ken's gonna try a duel." Tea grinned.

"Great we'll help out if you don't know what to do." Yugi said sitting down by the table.

"Sometime today kid." The guy said impatiently.

"Oh sorry." Ken turned to the game.

"You did really good for a beginner." Yugi smiled as they left the mall.

"Yeah you did better than Joey used to, even Tea kicked his butt."

Joey glared at him. Then he looked at wormmon. "Hey Ken where'd ya get that? It looks like something of Weevils." he and Tristan burst out laughing.

Ken looked at them confused.

"Don't mind them." Yugi smiled. "Weevil's just a person who's likes bugs alot."

"Try an insane person who's obbsessed with them." Tristan said still laughing.

"So where are you staying?" Tea asked.

"Ahhh, well, ummm..." Ken stumbled. He'd never even thought about where he was gonna stay for the night.

"You don't have a place to stay?" Joey said.

"Well..." Ken began to blush again.

"You could stay with me and my Grandpa." Yugi offered.

This was what Ken had been waiting for. He'd be able to find the item, have it lead him to the keeper of the seal and then it was back to the dark world them home.

"Well I don't want to inrude..." Ken started carefully.

"It's nothing." Yugi waved his hand.

"So what brings you here anyway?" Tristan asked.

"Well," Ken said slowly trying to make up a story. "I'm looking for an important item for my friend." He didn't know what else to say.

Instinctivly Yugis hand went to something around his neck. Ken noticed it for the first time, it was like an upsidedown pyramid with an eye on it.

"What kind of item?" Joey asked suddenly suspicious.

"Well," Ken said "I'm not quite sure what it looks like. But she said I'd know it when I saw it."

"Have you seen it?" Tristan asked also sounding suspicious.

"No, not yet." Ken shook his head.

"Do you guys all want to come over for dinner?" Yugi asked. "Grandpa won't mind I'm sure."

"Sure." Tea answered. "We've just gotta call our parents."

"Great." Yugi grinned. "Let's head on over."

"Yeah!" Tristan and Joey shouted forgetting their suspisions at the mention of food.

"This is very good, thankyou." Ken smiled at Yugi's grandpa.

"Don't mention it, Yugis friends are always welcome." He glanced over at Joey and Tristan stuffing their faces, and simply shook his head.

"So are you going to stay with us tonight?" Yugi asked "We can fikd the couch out into a bed."

"This is all very kind of you." Ken looked at the floor. Even though he needed to find that item he didn't like intruding on people.

"It's perfectly all right." Yugis grandpa smiled.

"Hey gramps ya got anymore rice?" Joey asked.

Ken crawled under the blankets on the couch. Wormmon was curled up on the pillow asleep, Yugi and his grandpa had gone to sleep awhile ago. Ken slowly slipped out of bed and tiptoed over to Yugis door. He felt bad about sneaking around like this when Yugi had been so nice to him. Maybe he should tell Yugi everything...

Yugis door was open a crack, he peeked inside. Yugi was sitting on the edge of his bed holding the pyramid thing, Ken gasped. A larger version of Yugi leaned against the wall, he looked transparent almost like a ghost.

"So Yami, what do you think about Ken?"

"He seems to be nice enough, but what if the item he's looking for is one of the melenium items? Maybe even your puzzle. I wouldn't trust him just yet."

"There dosen't seem to be much wrong with him, sure I guess it's kinda wierd how he just showed up here and all, but I don't think that means he's evil." Yugi looked up at the other worridly.

"Just the same, I think I'll stay up and watch over the puzzle tonight." Yugi nodded. "Alright Yami."

Ken knocked softly on the door.

"Huh? Who's there?" Yugi asked. Ken oushed the door open. "Ah, it's me, I've got something I wanna tell you." He looked at Yami a little scared.
"Well..."

Suddenly there was a huge crash at the front door.

"What was that?" Yugi exclaimed

All three of them rushed to the front door.
