~The Pharoah of Oz~



Disclaimer-I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or 'The Wizard Of Oz'. L. Frank Baum owns 'The Wizard Of Oz', plus he's
dead, and I'm not that disrespectful enough to take that from him. Also, I'd be one rich Japanese dude if
I owned Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm not Japanese or a dude. And another thing- I'm not stealing Jolly Leperachaun's
idea, I thought of it a while ago, but never really wrote it until now. Also, the plot will be different
from her's as well. So please don't sue me.



Characters-

Dorothy-Anzu(she's basicly the only girl in the show, except for Mai, so I had to give her that part)

Toto-Buddy(Jou shouldn't always play the dog, so I made up one, and pretending it's Anzu's dog. :P)

Glenda the good witch of the north-Ryou(light vs dark)

Wicked Witch of the West-Bakura(Yami Bakura, and he's gotta play the bad guy)

Cowardly Lion-Jou(he acts all tough like Jou, but they're both just soft and squishy on the inside ^^)

Scarecrow-Yugi(can't you just imagine him as a giddy little scarecrow? ^^)

Tin Man-Honda(now I get to rust him up whenever I feel like it, mwahaha)

Pharoah of Oz-Yami(well, you we gotta put him there)

All of those creepy guard dudes in Emerald City-Seto Kaiba(gotta give him a part in here somewhere ^^)




~Chapter 1~




It was a bright and sunny day in Domino City, Japan, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky..OK, I'm lying,
there were a few clouds in the sky, but not enough to make anyone think it was going to rain in the least.
Meanwhile, below the clouds and sun, to the actual city, in the heart of it, the bell of Domino high school
rung in a way that would make anyone withing a foot of it deaf in ten seconds, signaling that school was
officially over for the day.

Seem like a typical day so far?

All of the teenagers that went to Domino High ran out of the building, with some of them running over a few
of the school's nerds after being tripped by some of the bullies, who then began to laugh their smelly heads
off.

Yep. Pretty typical.

Then, five people ran out of the school, all of each who gave a dirty look to the bullies. One of them was a
female, with shoulder length brown hair, and blue eyes, wearing a skirt.

The other four were boys. One you could tell had a Brooklyn accent, and poofy blonde hair, and brown eyes. Another
had brown hair, with the most bizarre bangs you've ever seen(much like a horn), and was tanned, also bearing brown
eyes. The next one had long white hair, and was british, and since the creators of the show were being increative
when they thought up the characters, also had brown eyes. He also wore a necklace that was hidden underneath his
green sweater. Even though the white haired boy and the girl were shorter than the other two boys, they all were like
giants compared to the last boy. The last boy had violet eyes and could made puppy dog eyes that could even melt the
heart of an ogre, and wore a smile on his face that didn't seem to want to go away, even after witnessing some of the
nerds get clobered. His hair was really strange, though, with long blonde bangs, and black spiked up hair, brimmed with
magenta highlights. He also wore a necklace like the other boy, with a large charm at the end in the shape of a pyramid.
And why did I describe to you characters that you already know off by heart? Just for the fun of it, and to make this
chapter longer. Hehe.

"Hey, guys, how 'bout we all go to the arcade?" Jou smiled, still running away from the school.

"I'm not sure," Yugi replied, "I've got a lot of homework, and I want to get started on it."

"Hey, come on, Yugi!" Honda smiled, "You've got lots of time to do homework! It's March Break for crying out loud, you
have the whole week to do it!"

"Well, maybe so, but unlike you knuckleheads, he doesn't want to FORGET about something IMPORTANT, and not do anything
about it!" Anzu argued jokingly, emisizing on the words 'forget, important' while looking at Yugi in a bit of a serious
way.

Yugi raised an eyebrow at Anzu in wonder, then looked back at Honda and Jou blushing feriouslu. Yugi giggled a little.

"Well, I'd say that maybe we should have some fun. After all, it is March Break. We could do our homework throughout the
week, bit by bit." suggested Ryou.

"Good idea, Ryou," Yugi smiled.

"Ya, that sounds ok, even though we all know that Jou and Honda are going to be putting it aside under the last minute,"
Anzu said, rolling her eyes in a way you knew she was just joking around.

Ryou, Yugi, and Anzu all broke out into laughter, soon being joined by Honda and Jou.

"Well, let's go then," Jou smirked, raising his left fist in front of his face, "And I challedge Honda to that new game
'Jungle Track'! By the time I'm through with you, I'm gonna be crowned king of the jungle!"

"Please, you'd better suit a cowardly lion." Honda teased.

"I'd like you to rephrase that once I kick you to the curb!"

"Bring it on!"


* * *



"Ha! Some king of the jungle you turned out to be!" Honda smirked, getting up from the driver's seat of the new game.

"Grr, I want a rematch!" Jou snarled.

"Come on Jou, give it up, we've already played ten games, and I beat you each time!" Honda declared, rolling his eyes.

"Nuh-uh! You beat me nine times!"

"Come on, Jou, give it up, let's play a different game instead." Ryou suggested, sweatdropping a little.

"..Fine," Jou sighed, getting up from the game.

"Wanna play air hockey?" Yugi asked.

"Nah," Jou disagreed.

"Why too scared?" Honda teased, elbowing Jou with a sly grin.

"What? No!" Jou frowned, "I can kick your can anyday, Honda!"

"Just like you did at 'Jungle Track', eh?"

"Grr..."

"Come on, have a heart, Honda," Yugi said in a concerned tone, "If he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to."

Honda laughed a little, then said, "Fine."

"Hey, why don't we play that ninja game? It goes up to three players!" Ryou smiled.

"Ok! I get green!" Jou grinned.

Honda, Ryou, and Jou all ran towards the game, leaving Anzu and Yugi alone.

"..So," Anzu started, "Does this day seem some what special to you, Yugi?"

"...Well, not really, except for the fact that it the beginning of spring break." Yugi blinked, sitting down in a nearby
chair.

Anzu sighed to herself, and sat down beside him in another chair. 'When will he figure out?' "Are you sure, Yugi?" she asked.

"..Yea, pretty sure,"

Anzu groaned a little. "Well, other than that, doesn't us being together...alone...remind you of something?"

"Umm...no not really."

Anzu groaned again, this time loosing her temper. "It's our six month annerversery since we started dating, Yugi! How could you
forget? Your smart, you have brains, it's not like you only have straw in your head!"

Yugi looked back at Anzu, with a look of guilt and surprise on his face. "Um, I'm sorry, Anzu, I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" With that, Anzu got up, and ran out of the arcade, leaving a dumbstruck Yugi, who looked on the verdge
of tears.



As Anzu ran outside, crying, she had failed to notice how much the clouds above had gathered, and started to take on a brown shade...



//What did you do to her?//

/You saw, Yami. I don't really know. I just forgot our anniversary../

//Ah, I see. Women are very sensitive, Yugi. She probably thought that you didn't care about her since you forgot.//

/But I DO care!/

//Well, tell her that. But I suggest you get her a present, though, you know, for your anniversary. Get her flowers or something..//



A few hours later, everyone but Anzu, hence she had already left, left the arcade, with Yugi heading towards the nearest flower shop.
When he got there, he counted his change to see if he had enough money to buy a flower, seeing how he spent some of his money playing
video games(but not as much as Honda and Jou). He counted up barely enough to buy a rose. He grinned a bit, and bought the rose. He then
headed over to Anzu's house.



"Honey, are you in there?" Questioned Anzu's mother, knocking on her bedroom door.

"G-go away!" hissed Anzu, in between sobs.

Anzu heard some footsteps, then she was enveloped in silence once more, minus the sobs she was letting out. Anzu kept her head stuck in her
pillow, and found herself digging under her pillow, until her fingers felt something smooth and cold. She grasped onto it, and pulled it out
from under the pillow, and looked at it.

It was a photo of her and Yugi, together, in front of his grandpa's gameshop. Both of them were smiling, and hugging each other. Anzu was doing
a peace sign, and you could see that Yami had snuck into the picture behind them, and was giving Yugi bunny ears. Anzu half smiled at this, and
smiled even more when her dog, Buddy, jumped onto her bed and layed down beside her. He was a black labrador, but was still pretty small since
he was only five months old. Then, Anzu remembered that it was Yugi who had given her Buddy, for a three month anniversary gift. She had said that
her father had promised her one but didn't follow through with it, so on their anniversary, he had given her Buddy.

'What was I thinking? He DOES care about me,' Anzu thought, 'I feel so awful now. I got all mad at him because he forgot, but...he never forgot
before, and he's already shown to me that he loves me. I have to apologize to him!' Anzu whipped away her last stray tears from her face, and got
up from her bed, and pocketed the picture. "Come on, Buddy!" Anzu called to her dog, who followed his master willingly, and both ran outside, and
down the street.

If only they both had noticed that the winds had picked up...

Yugi continued to walk down the street towards Anzu's house, blushing a bit as he got a few stares from other people passing by, since he was holding
a rose, but wasn't really dressed up.

"Yugi!"

Yugi looked up, and saw Anzu running towards him at top speed, with Buddy close behind. Yugi smiled a bit. "Anzu!" Yugi started to run towards her..

..And would luck have it, the winds REALLY picked up, and the clouds were REALLY brown, and were forming a big cyclone, AKA, tornado. Yugi stopped in
his tracks as the winds suddenly grew stronger, and looked to the side. His face paled, and he nearly dropped the rose. "TORNADO!" he gasped.

Anzu stopped, and looked, too, and screamed. She picked up Buddy, and found herself running towards Yugi again.

"No, stop! Take shelter!" Yugi called out.

"What about you?" Anzu shouted.

"I'll go with you!" Yugi paniced, looking around. He saw a small shack, and realized that was the closest thing. "This way!" he shouted, barely able to
be heard over the raging winds.

Anzu heard, though, and ran after Yugi. When she got there, they both pulled at the door to open it, their hair whipping their faces, and stray sticks
htting their bodies. They finally opened it, and Yugi pushed Anzu and Buddy in first, giving Anzu the rose. "I love you," he whispered. He tried to get
in, but it was too late; the winds suddenly grew stronger, and whisked Yugi away. He screamed, but it was soon silenced when he fell into a cellar of
another house, and bumped his head on the doors, which were moving around everywhere.

"No! YUGI!" Anzu called out, wanting to check up on him, but knew she wouldn't be able to if she got swept up by the tornado. She gulped, holding back
tears, hearing Buddy bark a little, and closed the door to the shed. She ran towards a corner to take cover, but stopped dead in her tracks, as the window
to the shed suddenly broke free, and hit her in the head. She dropped Buddy, who landed on his feet, and fell to the floor, unconscious.


Anzu woke up to hear barks from Buddy, and sat up, groaning a little. She rubbed the sore spot on her head, realizng that it was very quiet. Anzu blinked a
lot, and stood up shackily. Anzu picked up Buddy, and opened the shed door, and gasped.


And you thought this day was normal..
