Yugi: I like her, too!!
Yami: I like #'s 1 and 2 on her CD.
Yugi: ^___^ Me too!!!
Jounouchi: Hey, Kirin!! You've been neglecting us, back here!!!
Kirin: **waves him off** Hai, hai. I'll get back to you when I get an idea. Anyway, here's chapter 9!!
* * *
Chapter 9-
* * *
"NO!!" Yumi cried out. Just as they were about to hit, a clear shield appeared in front of the Sailor Scouts. "What?" Yumi said. "YUMI!" Someone yelled. Yumi and the Scouts turned around to see Yugi and Yami running up. "Yugi!" Yumi said, surprised. Yugi ran to Yumi and wrapped his arms around her waist while Yami stepped up beside the Scouts. "Who are you??" Freeza growled. Yami showed her his evil smile. "I am Yami." He said.
* * *
From the top of a building, Zarlin watched. She gasped and covered her mouth. "No! It can't be!! Not him!" she said. She quickly jumped over to another roof. "Zander!" she hissed. Zander looked over at her. "What is it?" he asked, glaring. "Call her back. Now!" Zander scowled at her. "Why? She can take them, Sailor Dainichi isn't here."
"No, but the Prince is!" Zarlin growled. "Your point is? Isn't he what we want?" he asked. "Not THAT prince!" she said, pointing down at Yami. "He's Prince Yami, of the Moon Kingdom. His power in normal form rivals that of Dainichi!" she said. Eyes wide, Zander looked back down on the scene. It was too late.
* * *
"Is that suppose to mean something to me?" Freeza asked. "It should, I'm Prince Yami. Of the Moon Kingdom." All of the Scouts, save the two outer, stared at Yami in shock. "Nope, still doesn't mean anything." Freeza said with a shrug. "That's too bad." Yami held his hand out and narrowed his eyes at Freeza. From some unseen void, a sword appeared in Yami's hand. He held it, in both hands, above his head. Bringing it down, a white crescent slash flew from his sword. It collided with Freeza and she screamed. "HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Yami glared down at the pile of dust at his feet. He turned around and looked at the Scouts. The crescent moon was visible on his forehead. "Don't go after enemies that you can't defeat." He said as his sword vanished. "You're all lucky Yugi forgot something." Yugi let go of Yumi and faced Yami. "You can be nicer to them, you know." He said. "How? What? Who?" Sailor Moon said, confused. "I am your older brother, Sailor Moon. Or should I say Usagi." The Scouts eyes widened. "How. . . .did you know?" Usagi asked. "The same way Yumi knows." He replied. "If you'll excuse us, we must now go. Yugi, did you want to invite Jounouchi and the others?"
"I wanna invite everyone. Will all of you come with us to the tournament?" Yugi asked. Yumi smiled. "I know I'd like to go." She said. "And we'd like to come, too. We don't know what this 'tournament' you're talking about is." Ami said. "Great!! Now lets go get Jounouchi and the others!!!" he said with smiling eyes.
* * *
"Hey, guys!!" Yugi yelled, running up to his best friends. "Hey, Yug! Where've ya been?" Jounouchi asked. "Out with Yami. We're going to the tournament, wanna come?" He asked. "Sure!" Anzu replied. "Awesome!" Jounouchi said. "Great." Both Honda and Bakura said. "Great! Come on!" Yugi said, running back to Yami and the others, with Jounouchi, Anzu, Honda, and Bakura following.
* * *
Everyone sat watching the duel, excitedly. "So THIS is Duel Monsters!!" Usagi said, watching with great interest. "Yeah! The guy up there, on the blue, is the champion- or at least he was before Yugi beat him." Yumi said. "His name is Seto Kaiba. He's the owner of the big corporation, Kaiba Corp." She continued. Yami watched the Duel with his 'Duel Face', as Yugi called it, on. So far Kaiba had all 2000 life points still and his opponent had only 1120 left. He watched as Kaiba lifted a card up high in the air- his Blue Eyes, no doubt- and brought it down on the board. As he did that, Yami's vision of him flashed briefly. His eyes widened as he realized what he saw. Seto Kaiba dressed in a blue knight outfit, bringing a sword down from above his head and hitting something. A symbol on his forehead. Yami blinked.
'Is he really HIM?' he thought to himself. He shook his head clear of the thought as the crowd erupted in cheers as Kaiba's Blue Eyes destroyed his opponent. "Are you all right, Yami?" Yumi asked, noticing his face. "Uh. . . .Yes. Fine. It's just. . . .Kaiba. . . ." Yumi watched him. "What about Kaiba?" Yami's eyes stared at her. 'Doesn't he remind you of someone?' he asked her though his mind. She nodded, then turned back to the stadium. Suddenly a thought came to Yumi. With a smile, she turned to Yugi and the others. "I'll be back soon." She said and got up. She quickly passed by the other viewers and disappeared around a corner. Yugi turned to Yami. "Where's she going?" he asked. Yami shrugged.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!!" an announcer's voice boomed over the crowd. "I am pleased to announce that the champion, Seto Kaiba, has a new challenger. Will you duel?" he said. Kaiba folded his arms across his chest. "It will be my pleasure to destroy this challenger." He said. Across from him, the red lift rose and the challenger was revealed. Kaiba's eyes widened. Up in the crowd, Yugi and the others were surprised. "Yumi knows how to duel??" Usagi asked. Yami nodded. "Yumi is going to duel against Kaiba?!?!" Yugi said, shocked. Again, Yami nodded. "Apparently." He said.
Yumi smirked at Kaiba. "We know you can beat Yugi, if he lets you, but can you beat me?" she said. Kaiba smirked right back. "I think so. This should be a piece of cake." He said. They drew their five cards and the duel began. Kaiba placed a card down on the field. "Rude Kaiser! In attack mode." he said. Rude Kaiser appeared on the field and stood its ground, waiting for it's opponent. "Your turn." Kaiba said. Yumi looked at her cards and smiled. She pulled a card out of her hand and set it face up on the field. "Swordstalker in attack mode!!" Swordstalker appeared on the holographic field. "Attack!!" It roared and charged, slicing Rude Kaiser. Kaiba's LP reduced by 200. Kaiba glared and Yumi smiled at him.
The duel continued on until Kaiba was down to 400 LP and Yumi 600. It was Yumi's turn and she pulled a card from her deck, smiling widely. Amazingly, Kaiba had not drawn a single one of his Blue Eyes White Dragons. Yumi held the card up and threw it down on the field. "I summon. . . .The Blue Eyes White Dragon!!!" she yelled. Kaiba's eyes widened. "How?? I destroyed the 4th card!!!" Kaiba yelled. "Heh," Yumi smirked, "This is the card you destroyed. Now, Blue Eyes, White Lightening Attack!!!" She yelled. From its mouth, Blue Eyes fired lightening, destroying the monster Kaiba had on the field. "No!" he said as his LP drained to 0. The crowd watched in amazement, then burst into a loud cheer.
The lifts went down and Yumi walked over to Kaiba. She held up the card. "After you tore it, I mended it. Come on, Yugi and the others are here with some new friends. I know Yugi and Yami would like to see you again." She said. Kaiba nodded and walked with her. Yumi looked up to Yami as the walked and he nodded. "Come on, let's go." He said to the group.
* * *
Kaiba and Yumi waited down stairs for Yugi and the others. Yugi ran up. "Great match, guys!!" Kaiba smiled slightly and looked at the others. "Mind introducing me to your new friends?" he asked. "Oh, right! Seto, this is Usagi Tsukino." Usagi smiled and bowed. "Rae Hino." Rae waved. "Hi."
"Minako, Ami, and Makoto." He said. They said hi and Seto inspected them as they were introduced. "Nice to meet you. I'm Seto Kaiba. You may call me Seto or Kaiba, I don't care." Kaiba looked down at his watch. "If you'll excuse me, I promised Mokuba I'd go to his baseball game. Then I have to get back to work."
"You work?" Usagi asked. Kaiba nodded. "I may be the owner of Kaiba Corp., but I still have a lot to do. It was nice meeting all of you. Yumi," Kaiba shook his head, "I should have known that you'd kick my butt." Yumi laughed. "Good bye, Seto." He waved. "Bye. Oh, and Yugi, call sometime! Mokuba misses you." Yugi waved. "I will!!"
* * *
Zander paced back and forth, grumbling to himself. "That is what happens when you don't think." A voice said. Zarlin stepped out of the shadows. "You're going to wear a hole in the floor." Zander growled. "You could have warned me!!" he hissed. "I thought you had a brain in that head. Apparently, your head is as empty as a shell." She said, calmly. "So what is going to be your next move? Kill them yourself?" she said as she looked at him. "Yes." Zarlin's eyes narrowed. "You're foolish! You will get yourself killed if you even try!"
"No! I am stronger then they are! I can kill them, if given the right chance!" he said. Zarlin glared at him. "Have it your way." She said before disappearing into her portal.
* * *
"What happened back there, Yumi?" Haruka asked as they sat on the couch in the living room. "Nothing." She said. Haruka folded her arms across her chest. "Don't lie to me. You know I hate it." Yumi sighed. "It's really nothing." She looked into Haruka's eyes. "Please don't ask me, Haruka." She then stood and walked into her bedroom. "Mom?" Yuki asked as he walked out of his room. "She's tired." Haruka said. Yuki looked back and forth between the closed door and Haruka. "Did you two have a fight?" he asked. Haruka was a little taken aback. "Of course not!" she said. She shook her head. "Go to bed, Yuki." He nodded and walked back into his room.
Haruka sat on the couch, hands folded and elbows resting on her knees with her chin resting on her hands, as she stared off into space. 'Something isn't right. I hate worrying about her!' she thought to herself. 'Maybe Yami knows something.' She stood up and went to the phone. She dialed the number to the game shop and waited as it rang.
* * *
Yami yawned as he walked into the room to answer the phone. "Hello, Game Shop and Mutoh residence." He said. "Yami?" Yami woke up a little. "Haruka?" he asked. "Yeah, sorry for calling so late. Didn't wake you up, did I?" Yami looked at the clock. "Oh, no. I was up watching a show. Actually, since it's 11: 45 I was on my way to bed." He replied. "Sorry."
"Don't be. What's up?" he heard Haruka sigh. "After you and Yugi left today, something strange happened." Yami was now fully awake. "What?"
"Yumi. . . I don't know what she did, but it was like she had been hypnotized. She was out of it for a while, like the other night at dinner, but then she seemed really freaked out. Like someone had threatened to kill you two, Yuki, and everyone else she loves." Yami thought about this for a moment. "I don't know what to say. I'd really have to think about it and get back to you later. But I will say this, it could be anything. Maybe someone did threaten her, or maybe not. Maybe it was a vision, or another memory. I really can't tell you." He said. "Okay, I just thought I'd tell you and see what you had to say about it. Good night, Yami." Yami yawned again. "Good night, Haruka. I'll think about it." She thanked him, then hung up.
Yami thought about what Haruka had told him as he walked up the stairs and into Yugi and his bedroom. He stopped and stared down at the peacefully sleeping Yugi. Suddenly his eyes widened. 'First Yugi, now Yumi! This can only mean one thing, and that's not good.'
* * *
Kirin: Short, but done!! The next chapter will be up sometime, but I'm not sure when that will be.
Yami: . . . I'm worried about Yumi.
Yugi: Why?
Yami:. . . I can't say.
Yugi: **glares at Yami** This isn't fare! I wanna know things too!! Kirin!
Kirin: ^-^ Later, Yugi.
Jounouchi: We were in the story for only a little while!!! I hate you right now, Kirin.
Kirin: Now, that wasn't very nice!! I have everything all planned out!! You just have to be patient!
Yami: I don't think he knows what that means. . .
Jounouchi: HEY!!
Yami: ^. ~ Heheheheheheh.
Kirin: ^-^" Uh. . . . .please review. . . .Yami. . . .stop that!
