While Mai packed, the group looked around the house.
"How'd you afford a house like dis, Mai?" Joey said, as he checked out the furnishings.
"I don't. It's my parents'. I have an apartment I want to buy. It's pretty good, though." She shrugged. "Not great, but it's okay." She scrutinized Yugi for a second. "You look taller. Did you go through a growth spurt?"
Yugi blushed. "Finally." He had gotten tall enough that year so his hair reached about Téa's neck. (a/n: whoa, tall!)
Mai nodded toYugi. "So tell me more about this Davvlen freak. I joined you because, number one; Téa never gets this worked up, and number two; it seemed worse than Pegasus. What's up?"
"Well, Grandpa told me more about him. He *knows* about his power. It's like he was born to destroy. Davvlen has deeper powers concerning the shadow realm-different than Pegasus's. He doesn't really want to destroy life; but believe me, from what Grandpa told me, it's about the same."
Yugi paused. "His reason is different too. Pegasus did that for love; he's doing it for power."
Bakura shivered. Tristan put his hand behind his own neck. "*Man,* that's freaky."
Mai nodded. "And this girl-Ayamiki? What does she have to do with it?"
"Well, she has these magical powers. We have to find her in Jade City."
"Jade City? Don't they have Karaoke bars there? Like that famous one, um, 'Singing Fairy'? Or something like that?"
Téa thought for a moment. "Why don't we check that place out? She could be there."
Bakura agreed. "That's a good idea. Why don't we go there now?"
Mai picked up her luggage. "I'm ready. Hold this for me, will you, Joey?" She handed it to Joey, who attempted to hold it up, and crashed back down. All of them sweatdropped.

"So this is Jade City, eh? Nice place." Joey surveyed his surroundings. The landscape was like Las Vegas or maybe L.A.. It was somewhat a mixture of both.
"I'll say. Hey, isn't that the 'Singing Fairy'?" Tristan nodded towards a big building with a fairy holding a microphone, seemingly singing, on a billboard beside it.
"If these directions are right..." Yugi and Téa both looked down at the paper they'd written instructions they'd received from someone a while back.
"Then what're we waitin' fer? Let's go!" Joey immediately started running to the building.
"Joey, wait!" Bakura shouted, and they all ran after him.
When they were inside, they saw Joey waiting for them at a table. "Hey! I saved a table for ya guys." He called.
The five teenagers went up to him and sat down.
There were bright lights flashing everywhere, and there were people on the dance floor. Not many, though. There was a small girl with glasses and a sweatshirt, singing "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne on the stage.
"Hey, this is a nice place. Wait-what's that?" Mai looked over toward something that caught her eye, and she pointed it out for them.
"No *way*! I'm not singing out there!" A short-ish girl who looked about Yugi's age (sixteen), with long black hair that went a little past her petite waist, and, very surprisingly, light electric blue bangs (which only covered the sides of her face and came down her face like Yugi's). She was wearing a waitress uniform, and she looked very angry.
"Oh yes you are! We need some encouragement out there! And you'll get fired if you don't." A gruff middle-aged man said angrily. "You better get out there before I-" He demonstrated by slapping her across the face.
All the boys at their table instantaneously stood up. "That's low! Slappin' a girl!" Joey was beginning to advance towards them when Mai stopped him.
She glanced at them, making all the others turn back at her too. "I think she can fight her own battles."
Sure enough, the girl slapped the man back, using first the front of her hand, than her back. The man right away pushed her down, where she lay for a moment. Then she swung her left foot under him, making him lose his balance and fall.
She stood up to get away, but he grabbed her leg and pulled. She deftly kicked him hard in the chest.
The girl then scurried away. She went past their table, and the others followed her.
She noticed. "Go away! Stop following me!"
"Wait!" Yugi cried. "Do you know anyone called Ayamiki?" That stopped the girl at once.
"What's it to you about Ayamiki?" She said coldly, turning her head. Her sharp blue eyes glittered. There was what looked like a ring of purple fire around the blue of the pupils. With her face facing them, they could see she was quite pretty. Not beautiful like Mai, but pretty enough.
"*You're* Ayamiki, aren't you?" Téa looked at her determinedly.
The girl's face fell. "How-where did you hear my middle name?"
"My grandpa told me." Yugi looked at her. She stared at him.
"Yu-Yugi Moto? You're my cousin!" She blurted out.
"I am?! But how?!" He glared at her. She slowly walked towards him.
"Your grandpa is the father of my mom. Which makes him *my* grandpa too!" The others listened to this revalidation in amazement.
Ayamiki went up to him. She put out her hand, showing long fingers. "Pleased to meet you, cuz."

A/N: Oooh! The suspense! Heehee! I promise to write more, and include battles, once I decide on Ayamiki's deck and find out more about the other's. And read my Liberty's Kids fics. Oh, and SEND ME BADFICS!
