Rei-chan: O.O!!! WOW!!! 18 reviews in one day and I'm on the fav list of
2!!! *faints* @_@
Yugi: Erm. Rei-chan would like to thank Shadowguardian and Maliklovers for putting her on their favorite authors list.
Yami: Only two?
Yugi: What do you expect? She's new here.
Yami: I knew that.
Yugi: *sighs* Anyways, Rei-chan would also like to thank Wingzero for directing her to ff.net.
Yami: Who's she?
Yugi: She's another authoress.
Yami: Wasn't she the one who made you half boy-half girl?
Yugi: That's her. I guess we should wake up Rei-chan.
Yami: Way ahead of you.
Disclaimers: Someone came up with the idea for Yu-Gi-Oh and wrote a story about it. Sadly it wasn't me.
Blinking my eyes, I found myself in an oasis. Wasn't I in my bedroom? As a matter of fact how did I get here? There weren't any deserts in Japan, I think. Why was I here in the first place? The last thing I remembered was calling out to my darker half asking for help. Then everything went black. I glanced towards the sun, which was in the middle of the sky.
I pulled out one of my blankets from my backpack when I realized something was missing. Patting myself down, I have my deck, my watch, and no!! My puzzle was missing. I stood up and frantically searched the surrounding area for it. This couldn't be happening. I lost the millennium puzzle. It wasn't like I could replace it.
Sulking, I picked up my blanket and made myself a makeshift tent. Good thing, I had packed extra food and liquids inside my backpack. Otherwise, I would have starved in this desert. For one thing, I had no clue where I was. Second, I couldn't hunt even if my life depended on it. I should stay in the shade until the weather cools down, or I'll be drinking a lot of water. Yami told me about life in the desert. During the day, it became really hot. At night, you freeze your rear off. How can to extremes be together?
As soon as I had rinsed off my hands, I crawled into my tent and spread out my sleeping back on the ground. I might as well get some rest before night falls. Who knew what lurks in the night? I sure don't. Yami usually protected me against them so I never had to worry. This time, I didn't have him to watch over me.
Why was it whenever I had a good dream someone has to wake me up? I woke up to the melody of two or three boys fighting. A female voice chided them for their childish behavior. The boys immediately shut their mouths, when they heard her firm voice. Wait a second!! Those voiced sounded familiar. I poked my head to find Joey, Ryou, Malik, and Tea sitting near the water edge. They were refilling their flasks.
"Hi there," I greeted them with a smile.
Caught completely off guard, they whirled around with their swords in hand and aim them at me. What did I do? I was only greeting them. Since when did Ryou and Joey learn how to use a sword? I knew Ryou wouldn't hurt a fly, and Joey, let's not into that, shall we?
"Hi," Ryou said, eying me carefully. "Who are you?"
Great. His yami must have hit him in the head too many times. "Ryou, don't you know?"
Ryou nearly dropped his sword in surprise. "How do you know my name?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Malik said wearily. He kept a close watch on my every movement. I wouldn't do anything to harm them.
"Malik, you don't recognize me either?" I asked, wondering what had gotten into them.
"Do you think he holds a millennium item?" Joey asked his companions.
"I certainly do not hold the millennium eye," I huffed with indignation.
"What does the millennium eye have to do with this situation?" Tea asked me.
"The millennium eye allows the holder to read minds," I informed the clueless people.
"It can do that?" Malik gasped as he nervously held his sword.
"Um, Joey can you put down your sword?" I asked him politely.
"He can't read minds," 'Joey' slightly lowered his sword. "By the way, the name is Jounouchi, but everyone calls me Jou."
"I'm Yugi," I introduced myself.
"Anzu," 'Tea' spoke up.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing out here by yourself?" Ryou asked while sheathing his sword. "It isn't safe wandering around here, especially at night."
"To tell you the truth, I have no clue where I am or how I even got here," I admitted. I didn't want to start off on a bad foot by telling them a lie.
"You must be from a foreign land," Malik said, gesturing towards my unusual clothing.
"Yeah, I'm from Japan," I said sheepishly. I didn't know why, but I felt strange telling them I was from. They should know, but then they weren't exactly the friends I knew and grew up with. It was as if they were from the past, my friends' past lives.
"Where's Japan?" Anzu asked. She had also placed her sword away and approached me.
"Japan is a large island off the coast of China," I answered her nervously, since she now stood a very short distance away from me.
"You came all this way?" Jou blinked with disbelief.
"Where is here?" I asked them out of curiosity.
"You're in Egypt," Malik answered. He had started getting their site ready.
"Do you have any place to go?" Ryou asked; his voice full of concern.
I shook my head to answer no. "I just arrived here."
"You can come with us," Anzu chirped cheerfully. "You guys don't mind?"
Ryou shook his head. "I don't mind. It seems kind of strange. We just met each other, but I feel like we have known each other."
"This reminds me of the Change of Hearts," I mused over the thought. They held their swords ready to attack me and now they were inviting me to stay with them.
"How do you know my favorite duel monster is the Change of Hearts?" Ryou stuttered. The others watched in curiosity.
"Just a lucky guess," I said hoping they would buy it.
Malik and Jou went back to the task of setting up their tents near mine. Anzu started cooking their dinner while Ryou and I chatted about this or that. They took turns in cooking and setting up camp. Ryou's task was to find them something to eat.
"Do you have a favorite duel monster?" Ryou asked me as we watched the sunset.
"The Dark Magician," I said, while remembering my darker half.
"That's the pharaoh's favorite duel monster," Ryou giggled. He tried to stop it, but he ended up giggling even louder.
"Have you seen him?" I turned my attention to him.
"Hardly anyone has seen him," Ryou sighed after calming down.
"Oh," I said nonchalantly.
"You don't want to mess with him," Ryou warned me. His chocolate brown eyes stared deeply into my amethyst eyes. "He's cold and uncaring. One time he sentenced a man to ten lashings for getting in his way."
"How could he?" I gasped at the revelation.
"He's the pharaoh," Ryou shrugged. "He can do anything he wants."
"Someone should use the Change of Hearts on him," I said out of the blue.
"You must not say such things," Ryou hissed. His eyes darted, searching for something or someone. "The pharaoh has spies. If he catches you saying things, only the gods knows what happened to you."
"I promise I won't," I assured him, which helped him to calm down.
"Do you duel?" Ryou inquired, full of curiosity.
"Sometimes," I said, not wanting to answer any more questions.
"Good," Jou said plopping down beside us. "Then I can duel you."
"I don't think your Flame Swordsman can stand up against my duel monster," I chuckled at the thought of the Dark Magician versus the Flame Swordsman.
Immediately Jou shot up as if someone had lit a cherry bomb underneath him. "How did you know I had a Flame Swordsman?"
"Lucky guess," I said, realizing that I shouldn't have said that.
"You are pretty lucky tonight," Anzu said while cooking. "Tell me, what is my favorite duel monster?" Her eyes had a hint of amusement.
"The Magician of Faith?" I said trying to act nervous when I answered her question.
"Yeah," Anzu blinked in disbelief.
"What duel monster do you have?" Ryou questioned me.
"Dark Magician," I said normally.
My companions fell over when they heard my answer. What did I say? All I told them was that I had the Dark Magician. There wasn't anything special about him, was there?
"And I thought the only person who can control the Dark Magician was the pharaoh himself," Malik whispered in a low voice.
"Well, I haven't been practicing that much lately," I said, pulling out the card.
"You use that to summon your duel monster?" Ryou gasped as he moved closer towards my duel monster card.
"Sure I do," I said uneasily as every pair of eyes were watching me. I raised the said card high into the air and summoned my Dark Magician.
"Yes Master Yugi," my Dark Magician said, while bowing down to me.
The others stared in complete and utter shock. I turned to the others to ask them, when I saw them pale a few shades white. Guess I should snap them out of it. One by one they regained their composure.
"I thought the Dark Magician only obeyed the pharaoh," Jou gasped as he tried hard not to stare at my duel monster.
My Dark Magician made no comments to this. He simply waited me to give him his instructions. All I wanted him to do was to come out and show himself to the others, but it would be a waste of energy if I only asked him to that. "Would you mind taking the first watch?" I remembered what Ryou had mentioned earlier.
"Yes Master Yugi," my Dark Magician hastily agreed.
"He's sure obedient," Ryou said in amazement.
Why wouldn't he be? I treat him as an equal and friend, not just some servant or slave. I considered him to be my friend.
"The food is ready," Anzu interrupted our conversation.
"Why don't you join us," Ryou said practically dragging me over to the pot. "We have enough food, because Jou eats too much."
"I resent that!" Jou huffed.
"Okay," I agreed to it. Glancing back, I saw my Dark Magician glare daggers at Ryou. "Ryou, I think you should let go before my duel monster rips out your arm."
Ryou looked at my steaming Dark Magician and immediately released my arm. My duel monster calmed down quite considerably, now that his master was out of harm's way. "Sorry about that."
"You sometimes get carried away," Malik teased the white haired boy.
"Shove it," Ryou teased him back.
"Can't we eat a meal without you guys fighting?" Anzu had her hands on her hips, with a stern look on her face.
"Yes ma'am," both of them said, while Jou snickered. He received a slap on the back of his head.
As we ate our dinner, we discussed life in Egypt.
