Jaid: Hello all! This is my first YGO story and really doesn't have much of a plot; it's just about the gang's kids. I hope you enjoy it!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"Hitomi, Ky, you have five mintues!" Tea called.
"Yes mom!" Hitomi hollered. Nine year old Kysen jumped down the steps, backpack over one shoulder and a gameboy in his hand.
"Nope." Tea neatly took the game boy as he passed.
"Mom!" Kysen whined.
"Sorry, kiddo. You know the rules." Tea said, then turned back. "Hitomi, four minutes!"
"I'm coming!"
Tea sighed, shook her head and walked back to the dining room. Kysen had forgotten the game boy and was stalking around the kitchen, making noises. Yugi was watching him, a non-readable expression on his face. He looked up and met Tea's blue eyes.
"What is he now?" Tea asked, sliding into her seat.
"I think he said that he's a Blue Eyes White Dragon this morning." Yugi said, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Hey, Blue Eyes, get over here and eat!" Miya, their eldest daughter, called, setting Kysen's bowl on the table. Kysen looked up, and stalked over to the breakfast table.
"Ky." Tea looked at her son, a warning clear in her tone. Kysen deflated for a moment, then drew himself up haughtily and crossed his arms.
"Dark Magicians don't eat oatmeal." He stated importantly. Miya stared at him, then rolled her powder blue eyes.
"Oh yes they do." Tea said. "And you will eat it."
"I don't want too."
"Eat it and I'll make you some toast." Yugi promised. Kysen thought for a moment.
"With jam?"
"Don't push your luck." Yugi advised. Kysen scowled, but sat anyway. A thundering down the stairs a moment later proved to be Hitomi. She grabbed a glass of orange juice, chugged it down, then ran for the door.
"What about breakfast?" Tea cried.
"Can't mom! Promised I'd meet the twins at Chappy's Bakery before school. Gotta run or I'll be late; I'll get something there to eat. Bye!" Hitomi yelled as she ran out the door and slammed it. Tea winced, then turned back to the rest of the family.
* * *
"She's late." Terry said. "I told you."
Tyler shrugged. "So? Hitomi's always late."
"Hi guys!" Hitomi said, running up. "Sorry I'm late."
"I'm surprised you are. What? No early morning revelations?" Tyler commented dryly. Hitomi gave her best friend a reproachful glance.
"I don't do it all the time. And besides, I already apologized."
Terry grinned as his twin sister and Hitomi discussed the latter's habit in calling Tyler up five, four, once even three in the morning to tell her something useless (in Tyler's opinion) that Tyler would probably had rather heard later, or not at all.
"Hey, Hitomi." Terry said, breaking into their conversation. "Satoshi Kaiba asked me to give this to you." He handed her an envelope. Hitomi tore it open and pulled out a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Tyler asked, trying to peek. Hitomi glared at her and pulled away.
"It's a challenge. He wants to duel me again." She said glumly, crunching up the paper into a ball. "I think he honestly enjoys kicking my butt."
"Nah, he just likes you." Tyler said off-handily, as Hitomi neatly tossed the paper ball into a trash can.
"Yeah right." Hitomi sighed. "I'd better get some thing for breakfast; promised mom."
"You'll have to eat it on the way to school." Terry commented, glancing at his watch. "Or we'll be late."
"Yeah, whatever." Hitomi said, walking to the counter.
* * *
Morgan Bakura's green eyes anxiously watched for the twins and Hitomi. Spotting them, she waved her arm. Hitomi waved enthusiastically back. The three of them were making their way towards the white-haired girl when a tall, well-built young man with long black hair intercepted them. Terry and Tyler continued on course a few minutes later, but Hitomi was blocked from Morgan's view by the young man's back.
"Kaiba's starting early today." Terry commented easily. "Hey cuz."
"Hey yourself." Morgan answered, smiling. "He really has been on her case lately, huh?"
"He likes her." Tyler said, as she opened her locker. Terry rolled his brown eyes, while Morgan hid a smile.
"Please, Ty." Terry commented. "You are such a match-maker."
"Of course." Tyler said, nonplused. "Why shouldn't I be? It's such fun."
"You'll regret it one of these days." Morgan warned.
"Not likely." Tyler smirked.
"Gee, thanks guys!" Hitomi fumed as she walked up and opened her locker, which was next to Tyler's. "I sooo appreciate being left with Satoshi like that."
"Satoshi?" Tyler raised an eyebrow. "We're on a first name basis now?"
"No, 'we' are not." Hitomi answered. "Just because I use his first name, doesn't mean I like him."
"He staring at you." Tyler said. Hitomi's cheeks went red.
"Don't even think it, Tyler Jean Wheeler." She hissed. "And if you dare tease me about it today…" Hitomi left her threat unfinished. Tyler giggled; Hitomi had a hot temper, but she never carried through on her threats. At least, not with Tyler.
"There's the bell." Terry said, as Hitomi grabbed her books and slammed her locker shut.
"Thanks, Genius." Taylor commented as they walked to class.
"You're welcome." Terrry grinned.
* * *
Lunch break. Satoshi Kaiba entered the cafeteria and looked around, looking for a certain young woman. Spotting her, his features slightly relaxed. Almost smiling, he walked over to her table.
"May I join you?"
Morgan Bakura, the Wheeler twins, Hitomi, Miya, Brian Taylor, and Morgan's older brother, Remi looked up at him.
"I guess." Remi said, looking slightly confused. The teens made room and the austere young man sat. There was an uncomfortable silence, broken at intervals by Tyler's suppressed giggling as Hitomi's face got redder and redder.
"So," Remi finally said, turning to Brian. "Trying out for the basketball team at all?"
Brian Taylor looked up, his green eyes blinking slowly, as if Remi's voice had broken him out of some deep thought. "I'm going to try." He said. "I'm not very athletic."
"Don't be ridiculous. Of course you are." Miya said, causing Brian to blush.
"Hitomi's made the girl's team." Tyler spoke up.
"I know." Satoshi answered. "They announced that two weeks ago. There's a game after winter break." He met Hitomi's purplish-blue eyes. "You will be playing?"
"Yes." She answered. "Duh."
"Maybe you'd like to come to the game with us." Tyler suggested. Hitomi glared at her and Tyler innocently ignored the dark haired girl.
"I would be honored." Satoshi answered, not taking his gaze of off Hitomi. The rest of the meal was an un-easy one.
* * *
Hitomi threw her backpack on her bed and blew out a breath. She quickly changed out of the blue and pink school uniform and put on some black jeans and a green top. Grabbing her deck, she went back down the stairs, her black leather trenchcoat over one shoulder.
"I'm going out mom!" she shouted.
"Where?" Tea came out of the dining room where she had been doing bills.
"Satoshi Kaiba challenged me again. I'm going to duel him." Hitomi explained.
"You don't want us along?"
Hitomi grimaced slightly. "Not really." She admitted. Tea looked at her.
"Mom…"
"OK." Tea said. "Homework?"
"Did it in homeroom."
"Dinner?"
"I'll eat at Uncle Joey's or something."
"Okay, but call us when you get there."
"I will." Hitomi headed for the door, pulling on her coat.
"Oh, Hitomi!"
"Yeah?"
"Stop by the card store; I think your father has something for you." Tea smiled gently. Hitomi grinned.
"Great! Bye!" Hitomi slammed the door. Tea shook her head and went back to bills.
* * *
"Dad?" Hitomi opened the shop door and walked in.
"Back here." Yugi called. Hitomi entered the back room. Kysen and Yugi were sorting starter decks from various supplement packs and individual cards. Yugi smiled warmly at his daughter as she entered.
"Mom said you had something for me." She said.
"Yes, I do." Yugi said. "Ky, keep sorting these things out, okay?"
Kysen nodded his head of black hair as Yugi led Hitomi to the office. Going to the desk, he opened a drawer and took out an old, care worn deck.
"Here." Yugi withdrew a card and handed it to her.
"The Dark Magician?" she asked.
"He was always your favorite. Perhaps he can help you as he did me so many times."
Hitomi looked up, her eyes bright. "Thank you!" she cried, throwing her arms around him. Yugi chuckled.
"Cool! He'll go real well with my Book of Secret Arts." Hitomi grinned.
"You'd better get going." Yugi commented. "Don't you have a duel?"
"How'd you…?" Hitomi began, but then shook it off. Her dad seemed to know all sorts of things without asking. "See ya, Dad!"
"Bye." Yugi called.
* * *
"She's late again." Terry sighed.
"What is up with you and time?" Remi asked.
"Ever since he got that new watch, he's been obsessed." Tyler said in an undertone. Terry narrowed his brown eyes at her.
"Miss Motou still has not arrived?" Satoshi asked.
"She's running a bit late." Morgan explained. "She should be here-"
"Hi guys!" Hitomi yelled, running through the door. "Hi, Satoshi."
Satoshi inclined his head. "Miss Motou."
Why is he always so darn formal? She wondered, then crossed her arms.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"As always." She answered.
"Duel." They both said, then took their places at the arena.
"So, you or me first?" Hitomi asked, drawing six cards.
"I will go." Satoshi said, then laid down a card in defense mode and three magic or trap cards face down. Redrawing, he nodded to Hitomi. She looked at the hand she had pulled. D. Human (1300/1100), Great White (1600/800), Dark Magician (2500/2100), Ansatsu (1700/1200), Dark Hole (Magic card), and Harpie Lady (1300/1400).
"Get him Hitomi!" Tyler shouted at her, giving her a thumbs up. Hitomi smiled at her best friend, then turned back to the duel.
"I'm putting a card in the magic/trap field." She announced, laying the Dark Hole face down. "And I play a monster in defense." Hitomi put D. Human face down. "Your go."
Satoshi studied his hand for a moment, then said, "I too shall put another card in the magic/trap field, and I attack your defense card with the Summoned Skull!"
Hitmoi winced as her D. Human was destroyed.
"Next," Satoshi said, "I will deploy the Black Fireland Dragon to attack your life points directly, since you don't have any monsters left to defend you."
Hitomi's life points went from 8000 to 6500.
"He's not one to mess around, huh?" Remi commented.
"Nope." Terry agreed.
"That being done," Satoshi went on. "I place my Dragon in defense. Your turn Ms. Motou."
Hitomi drew two more cards; Dragon Capture Jar, and Master & Expert (1200/1000). She looked back at the field.
"I attack your Dragon with my Dark Magician." She said, and watched as the serpent like dragon burst into pieces. "I then switch him to defense and place another card in the magic/trap field. Your turn."
"I play Tremendous Fire." Satoshi said, flipping one of his magic cards. Hitomi's life points went down to 5700 and Satoshi's to 7000. "Then I play Dian Keto the Cure Master." His points rose back up to 8000. "I then lay this card down on Summoned Skull. Your turn, Ms. Motou."
"Right." Hitomi again drew two more cards. Another Ansatsu and Reborn the Monster card. Hitomi smiled in relief. "I play these two cards in defense." She said, laying down the Ansatsus. "I end my turn."
Satoshi raised an elegant eyebrow, but laid his cards. "One face down attack, and on face down defense. I will then flip the attack card."
Princess of Tsungi appeared, dressed in pink, her blonde hair done in an odd way. Knives that looked like ice and glass surrounded her.
"She gets a 500 point increase for every magic or trap card on the field and her effect takes away 1000 of your life points." Satoshi told her, redrawing. Hitomi scowled as her points fell to 4700, but did not answer as she too redrew new cards, the Man-Eating Treasure Chest and Pale Beast.
"She's going to have stop play so much defense." Morgan said.
"You can't attack if you don't have strong enough cards though." Tyler pointed out. "And I know she doesn't have a lot of magic cards either."
"I'm probably going to regret this, but I use the Dark Magician to attack your face down attack card!" she announced. "Dark Magic attack!"
The Dark Magician raised his staff and brought it down. Gaia the Fierce Knight briefly appeared before bursting into pieces. Hitomi watched with a slight feeling of satisfaction as Satoshi's points went down to 7800.
"Very good." He said again, in the same, cool tone. "I play the Spell Binding circle on your Dark Magician."
"What!?" Hitomi watched helplessly as a circle of light surround her Dark Magician and he froze.
"Well, at least he didn't do that before." Morgan said.
"Don't let that faze you a bit, Hitomi!" Tyler called.
"Then I play a card in defense." Satoshi continued calmly. Hitomi frowned at him and redrew her cards.
Hmm, Dian Keto. That's a good thing, but better save it for later. She thought.
"I will use my Man Eating Treasure Chest to destroy your defense card."
The clam like box with sharp teeth, tongue and jewels spilling out attacked the glowing square on the field. The Witty Phantom briefly appeared and the disappeared. Satoshi's points fell to 7600.
"Then I switch my Treasure Chest to defense mode." She continued, redrawing another card. Uraby, a dinosaur card. Not too great, but okay. "Your turn."
"I use Trap Hole to destroy your Man Eating Treasure Chest and lay down to more cards in the magic/trap field." He redrew.
"I play two more defense monsters." Hitomi said then redrew as well.
Satoshi raised an eyebrow, but spoke. "I too play a defense card. And I use the Summoned Skull to attack one of your defense cards."
The electric fiend sped towards a glowing circle on the holo-arena. The Pale Beast was shattered.
"I now use the Koumori Dragon to attack another of your defense cards."
Hitomi's second Ansatsu was destroyed. She looked at her hand as Satoshi signaled that it was her turn.
"I play Dian Keto the Cure Master." She said, her points rising back to 5700. "And I play anther defense card." Since it's my only option at this point. She drew another card and smiled grimly.
"You're not one to go on an attack are you?" Satoshi said, though he did not expect an answer. "No matter. I play another defense card as well. And I will use the Catapult Turtle to launch my Summoned Skull at you and diminish your life points."
Hitomi's points fell by 1200, reducing her to 4500 life points. The Summoned Skull was sent to the Graveyard.
"I will play two more defense cards and end my turn." Satoshi finished.
"I put my first Ansatsu into attack mode and have him attack your face down defense card." Hitomi said. The black clad assassin sped forward and attacked the green horned monster that appeared. A purplish red one appeared next to it and they beat back Ansatsu, destroying him. Hitomi's life points fell again.
"Oops." Hitomi said in an undertone. "Uh, I place two more defense cards and I redraw my hand."
Satoshi nodded. "I play another magic/trap card, place another defense card, and put into place another Lava Battle guardian."
The purplish monster joined the Swamp Battle Guard and the first Lava Battle Guardian on the field. Satoshi nodded to the dark-haired girl.
Terry sighed. "He's going to beat her again."
"I play Dark Hole, which removes all monster cards from the field and places them in the graveyard." Hitomi announced. Satoshi's jaw tightened as his face down defense card turned out to be his own Dark Magician. Hitomi swallowed a little hard. Satoshi's favorite card besides his Blue Eyes was his Dark Magician. She grinned a little weakly as he glared at her.
"I also put down two defense monsters and then redraw. Your turn."
"She's making a come back." Tyler said to her brother.
"I use Reborn the Monster to resurrect my Dark Magician." Satoshi announced. "Then I use the Book of Secret Arts to raise his attack and defense points."
"Spoke too soon." The blonde girl amended.
Hitomi's mouth dropped open. He stole my strategy! It was her turn to glare.
"I then put down two more magic/trap cards and the field is yours." Satoshi said.
"I put down three magic/trap cards and redraw." Hitomi answered, somewhat grumpily.
"Very well. I play the Mysterious Puppeteer, which raises my life points by 1500 and play another defense monster. I also play the magic card Sogen, which raises the attack points of all warrior type monsters on the field." Satoshi said. "Your turn."
"I play Queen's Double." Hitomi said, as a red-haired woman in a bluish-purple robe appeared, her looks an almost exact replica of the former Princess of Tsungi. "And I use her effect to take away 550 of your life points. I then play the Empress Judge in attack mode and use her to destroy your Mysterious Puppeteer."
The creepy purple robed and masked figure burst into pieces as the Empress attacked.
"I then switch her to defense and redraw." Hitomi said.
"I use Lord of D." Satoshi said, flipping the dragon card. "His effect is such so that no magic or trap cards can effect my dragon cards."
I have a bad feeling to where this is heading. Hitomi thought gloomily.
"And then I play the Flute of Summoning Dragon, which allows me to call all of the dragon type cards in my deck. I then play two defense cards and am done."
"I use Empress Judge to attack your Lord of D." Hitomi announced.
"Then I put into play Wabacoo." Satoshi said, smiling grimly. "To reflect your attack."
"Fine." Hitomi snapped. "You can't use that trap this time. I use Curse of Dragon to attack Lord of D. and thanks to your card's effect, Wabacoo won't effect him."
Satoshi only smiled cryptically at her as the trap and Dragon Lord were destroyed.
"I then use the Dragon Capture jar to put all your Dragons in defense only and then play my second Dark Hole to get rid of any monster cards you have on the field." She said. "I redraw and it is your turn."
Satoshi put his card down. "I play the Blue Eyes White Dragon."
Hitomi sighed. I knew it! I knew this was coming.
"And then I play the Dragon Piper to counteract your Dragon Capture Jar's effect, keeping all of my dragons in attack mode. And finally, I will play Hoshiningen, which raises the points of all light monsters, like my Blue Eyes, and lowers the defenses of all dark type monsters, like your Curse of Dragon." Satoshi looked at her with a slightly smug look. Hitomi could have cheerfully slugged him right then and there, provided she could reach the tall man's face.
"I then use my Blue Eyes to attack your life points." Satoshi said. Hitomi felt a sinking sensations as her points were reduced to 800.
"I place three cards in defense and then redraw." She said quietly, trying to think.
"Good, because I think this duel has dragged on a little longer than our others and I'm ready to end it. I play the Sword of the Deep Seated which raises my Giltia the D. Knight by 500 attack points. I then use Change of Heart to take one of your defense cards and use it as a sacrifice to bring the Lady of Faith to the field. Then I use my D. Knight to attack your second defense card. Then I use Blue Eyes to destroy your third defense card. Finally, since you no longer have defenses, I use the Blue Eyes to attack your life points and since you only have 800 left, you are reduced to zero." Satoshi looked vaguely triumphant. "The duel is mine."
* * *
Morgan, Remi, Tyler and Terry met Hitomi as she descended the holo arena.
"It's okay, you'll get him next time." Tyler said, putting her arm around her shoulder. Hitomi didn't answer; she was still grumpy.
"You did well, Ms. Motou." Satoshi said walking up. "And I have something for you." He handed her three cards. Hitomi frowned at him in confusion and looked at them.
"They are ritual cards." Satoshi explained, tapping each one as he told her about it. "When you play the Sonic Bird, it automatically calls up Commencement Dance. Then you choose your sacrifices and it brings out Performance of the Sword." He folded her hands over the cards. "Keep them."
"But-" Hitomi began to protest, but Satoshi turned sharply and walked away.
"Well…that was somewhat unexpected." Morgan commented.
"Yeah." Hitomi agreed, looking back down at her hands.
* * *
"That was a nice display."
Satsohi paused as his father's voice echoed down the empty hallway. He turned to see Kaiba walking up behind him.
"I wasn't aware that you were watching." Satoshi admitted. Kaiba smiled wryly and nodded.
"Tell me something." He said. "Why do you keep fighting her?"
Satoshi was silent. "She's the daughter of your rival."
"True." Kaiba nodded. "But that's not the reason is it?"
"I don't know what you mean." Satoshi answered coolly, then walked away. Kaiba shook his head and followed.
