A/N:Okay, I changed my mind. I'm gonna wait awhile before starting the BOF fic. Anyway, last chap's footnotes are:1&2, I use these words alot, don't I?
And ssjpan, I forgive you for liking Ryu/Nina, and I hope you read my story when I finally put it up.

Disclaimer:................................................ what was I supposed to say again?

Claimer:Drake and Lara, the lord and lady of Dragons!^-^

Gripes: Did anyone see this week's ep? I thought Frieza from DBZ was evil, but Pegasus!
***************************************************************
"This is humiliating."Drake griped.

"At least there's a smaller chance of people calling you a cheater." Yugi said.

"I'd rather be caught cheating than wear something like that,"Mai said.

{No kidding.} Joey thought,{She's already been caught cheating.}

"Stop arguing guys,"Tea said,"you four need to find some duelists to beat!"

"Yeah, at this pace WEEVIL will beat us to the castle." Drake said.

"But Weevil's disqualified." Tristan said.

"Exactly." Drake said.

They quickened the pace after that.
***************************************************************
{This is alot better} Lara thought.

Sure, people were still staring at her, but at least they didn't look at her like she was a slut.

She stopped walking for a moment to admire her success.

She already had half the chips she needed to get into the castle, and it had been less than 30 minutes since she landed on the island.

She looked up, and saw a large group of people enter the clearing she was in.

She involunterely gasped.

{That's Yugi Moto, the famous duelist who beat Seto Kaiba!}

Then she noticed one of the duelists next to him, strangely dressed as a Lord of D.

With a heckuva lot of star chips.

{If I want to get the chips I need fast, he's my best shot.}
***************************************************************
The group stopped as the person in a fully covering cloak called to them.

"Hey! You in the dumb cotume! I challenge you!"

The voice registered the duelist as a girl, but Drake shivered as he felt something familier about it.

"Fine I accept." He said, as a large arena popped out of the ground.

As both duelists went to their respective sides, Lara saw the face of her opponant, and blushed.

He was really cute, and something about him was strangely familier.

{Still,} she thought, shaking her head,{ I can't let my guard down. All 5 of my stars ride on this match, and I have to win, for Drake.}

And the duel began.
***************************************************************
A/N: Don't flame me, this chapter's not done yet! I just wanted to take a break to say a few things.
1. Well this sucks. I actually put them against each other, now I have to figure out what's gonna happen.A.K.A., I have to think up a duel, and somehow make it end in a draw.
2.Peg-ass sucks! I saw today's episode, and I have a whole new dimension of hate for him now.
3.I'm gonna have to change that in this fic! I may not show it, but I'm 99.9% pro-Kaiba. The other 0.01% is anti, but anyone can hate him at some moments!
4.In case you didn't notice, this will soon be a romance fic, but it won't be a lemon!{sees fans over 16 walk away} MAYBE IN A FEW YEARS,SHEESH!
5.I've heard of a Dark Sorceress, but I don't know if it's real, or what it's stats are. So, I'm gonna guess!
And now, on with the show,..... fic..... whatever!
***************************************************************
"I start with Harpy's Lady! And I put a card face down!" Lara called. [1300/1400]

"This gal's got taste!" Mai complemented.

"Yeah, to bird-brains."Joey said.

"I begin with the D.Human."Drake said.[1300/1100]"And I also put a card face down."

As the two monsters charged towards each other, Lara said,"I activate Reinforcements!![1300-1800/1400]

Drake slightly flinched as his monster was torn to pieces.[LP:1500]

"Then I activate Ookazi!"Drake said.

Lara didn't seem too fazed.[LP:1200]

"I also attack with Koumori Dragon!" [1500/1300]

As the purple dragon burned her Harpy, Lara was strangely reminded of a similer strategy years ago.[LP:1000]

She pulled a card, and played it.

"Judge Man." She said.[2200/1800]

The ogre-like monster smashed his Koumori Dragon.[LP:800]

For a second Drake was worried; then he drew a card.

"Prepare yourself, for the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon!"[3000/2500]

Lara looked in fear as the dragon blew her Judge to pieces.[LP:200]

{No way! I'm being beaten by Drake's favorite card!*}

She drew another card, and smiled.It would all be over soon.

"I play my favorite card, the Dark Sorceress, in conjunction with the female doubler card!"[2600-5200/1800-3600]

"NO WAY!" Drake yelled as an enormous blast came from the newest monster on the field.

The toon, however, did as all cartoons did. It dodged the blast.

But Drake was still fazed.

The Dark Sorceress was basically a female version of the Dark Magician, with, er, less armor.[A/N:Like Sailor Moon, kicks butt while looking hot!]

There was only one Dark Sorceress in the entire world, and years ago Drake hed given it to-

"L..l...lara?" he said disbelievingly.

"How do you know my name?" She asked, taking the hood of her cloak.

Drake smiled, and removed his helmet.

Lara gasped, and faintly said,"Oh my god."
***************************************************************
Needless to say, the duel ended there.

Lara and Drake, after two years of being apart, re-united.

After explaining everything that had been going on the past to years of their lives, they promptly "celebrated".

15 minutes later......

"If they don't stop making out in five seconds, I'm gonna scream." Joey said.

After he screamed, they stopped.

Drake took off his costume, but Lara, for obvious reasons, chose not to.

"How did you get here anyway?" Drake asked her."Dad made sure that no boats were sent to the town you were in at the time."

"I used this."Lara said, smiling, and pulled out her Millenium Locket." By puttin a monster card in the right slot, it comes to life until I open it."

Out of the shocked group, Drake asked," What's in the other slot?"

"You." She replied, slightly blushing.

"I'm bailing out." Mai said."This little group is getting too strange for me, but I promise to wait for you guys at the castle."

Most of the group was sad to see her go, except for Lara, who hardly knew her, and Joey, who strangely half wanted her to stay, and half wanted her NOT to wait at the castle.

As the group went off to continue their journey, Drake smiled. He finally had his life back.
***************************************************************
A/N: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!^-^ Kawaii!^-^ I hope I don't get flames for this, cause that would be too strange for this chapter.
Drake:I'm happy.^-^
Lara:Ditto.^-^
Joey:Why are we constantly usin' this weird thing?^-^
Yugi:I dunno, but it's cute.^-^
Tae:Like you.
Yugi:Huh!?
Tae:{blushes}


Preview:Next chap., Drake and Lara go off to find more duelists as the rest of the group tries to find Joey[stupid Keith, gives us Americans a bad name!]
When they return with enough stars for the play-offs, the group gets out of the maze, also with enough stars. But will they be able to get to the castle, or will something stand in their way?[Why the heck did I just say that? I usually steer clear of spoilors, and now I did one!]
