A/N: Finally, some recognition!

Disclaimer: *sniff* C'mon! If any of us owned Yu-Gi-Oh, only the really sick-minded would have made those last two eps so sad!

Claimer: Drake and Lara, who, according to me, deserve very much to be in the show! *sniff*

Lara: Waitasec! This is MY POV today, right?

Alpha: Righhhhhhhhhhhht......

Lara:*pulls out Locket, hold a Blast Sphere card near it.* Let ME handle the keyboard, or this base goes sky-high!

Alpha: OK, OK! Just put the bomb-mon down!

Sigh..... anyway, keep in mind Lara's writing this, so expect the unexpected, and obscenely wrong.

*sees Chantera(Lyz's character) on E-Bay, clicking on 'Yami's Buckle! Stolen personally'*

...............Never mind.
********************************************************
Lara's POV

My name is Lara Justina.

At least, it's what I call myself.

I know my first name is Lara,because that's what was on the note I came with, but my last......

Maybe I should explain. I was found by some orphanage people when I was born, my only knowledge of my self was the name on the note, but no last name.

I call myself Justina, because if I had ever gotten to choose my own name, it would have been something like "Tina Justice!"

Of course, I thought that name when I was a little girl,which is why it sounds so dorky. But that's all in the past.

My life was good for a while, once. I started to make friends at Tosscerp Middle School[strange name, strange place.] but eventually, my grades got me into Yaver Cerat[weirder name](A/N: Lyz:....Alpha...), a high school for the gifted. Half the students there weren't even old enough for high school. Like me.

And like Drake.

He's probably the best part of my life, has been, and will be. He's kind, sweet, caring, smart, and determined when he needs to be. Add that to the facts that he has a strong sense of justice and morality, like mine, and we're the perfect pair!

Except for his dad. That's one factor of Drake's life that I wouldn't want to be a part of. He's probably the biggest jerk I've ever met, and that includes......

Never mind that.

Another interesting thing about me, that I want to reveal, at least,[Drake: PFFT X 800] is my Item. I found this Millinium Locket in a New York gift shop, and took it, cause it looked cool.

Now I know what you're thinking. Surely, this girl is too good to steal from other people? That hot "chick" that wound up with a hot boyfriend with a hot head?

Wrong.

I basically grew up for 3 years in Ny, Ny, thanks to Drake's dad.

I never really told Drake the whole truth about what happened to me.

That night over three years ago, when Drake's dad forced us apart, my life dissapeared. Sorta.

After being forced of the island, then thrown into a raging sea halfway to pier, I barely made it to shore alive.

While I won't relive the unpleasant experiences in full right now, I can give you the gist: Finding out old Maxy erased all proof that I exist on Earth, including the entire orphanage, having to steal, rarely work, to survive, fending off psychos, thieves, and sometimes even rapists at night, and finding people willing to help me, that was mostly my life.

Anyway, after two years of it I got the Millinium Locket. I found that any card I put in the red slot to the right side actually came to life!

As for the green slot to the left, it was a normal locket. I keep my favorite picture of Drake in it.

The unfortunate part is, while the cards were powerful, they weren't completly made to fight humans. I lost a lot of Celtic Guardians and other Warriors trying to fend off the above mentioned scum. And any of my female monsters were also targets. Especially the Dark Magician Girl, my favorite card, best friend, and greatest treasure.[Drake gave it to me the day his dad forced us apart.]

But I think I've talked too much. Right now, I'm currently facedown on the ground near Drake, and not because of that.[Drake: PFFT X 1600]

I just face-faulted, like all the others, when Yugi's other presence said he didn't know how to get home.

*Not surprising, really. He doesn't seem to remember much.*

I almost stood up in shock. Being so tense, seeing *Yugi* duel a weird Vampire-like thing almost made me forget MY presence.

Another thing you should know.... Drake isn't as hopeless as a flirt as you think. I can just keep my face less red. And ever since he transformed, and I did,my other self has sent a LOT of ideas into my head.

Not that I don't like it, but it might be harder o control myself now that Drake is even hotter.

*He was always that hot. He's a Dragon, isn't he?*

{Shut up.} I sent to her.

*Yeah right. Like I'm going to with this much evidence? I was freed last night, I KNOW you had to control yourself.*

I blushed, something I rarely do.
**********************************************************************

After a few hours of aimless walking, merely trying to find some civilization, we stopped to set up camp.

Sure, It might not have been safe, but this world was dark enough to travel in the daytime.

After getting a fire ready[which was strangely blue; what a messed-up world.], we all crowded around it, and it was then we realized the obvious.

"How come we're not hungry?" Joey said in extreme wonder.

"I suppose this world has some strange way of storing food."Ryo said."It's actually something I've experienced before."

No one was in the mood to ask him what the heck he was talking about.

*Is suppose he's traveled to other dimensions before.* My prescence said.*Not surprising, really. I sense he's not from our world. Maybe-*

I was too beat to listen to her.

"Anyone have a way to pass the time?"Drake asked.

Before I could say something to get Drake's face red[it's a personal enjoyment!^-^] Joey spoke up.

"Well, we could do one of my favorite games, IF we had anything to drink!" *

Staring slightly at Joey, Yugi suggested "Maybe we could tell a little bit about ourselves? I mean, we hardly know anything about the ones we met just days ago."

No one volunteered for a while. Then Mokuba spoke up."I wanna talk! You guys are the only friends I've ever had, except for Seto.

I suppressed the erge to squeel, and I saw Mai and Tea doing the same across from me.

"Ok, our parents died when we were young, my brother and I were adopted by a millionaire, who left us the company, and umm, that's about it."

He blushed, and I only wanted to hug him more.
**********************************************************************
Alpha: Time out for a second.

Lara: What?

Alpha: Lyz hasn't influenced your words in the last part of the chapter you just wrote in any way, has she?

Lara: Umm, no, why?

Alpha: The only boy you ever squeeled over was Drake. I should know, you know.

Lara: Aw, shuddup.

**********************************************************************

After a few introductions across the campfire, only Yugi's other half was left. I, of course, had left a few things out.

*Hey, don't feel bad over it. Mai probably left out half her life; since she never told us about her favorite night.*

*SHUT UP!* I thought, mad. Mai was actually pretty cool; she even offers fashion tips!

[AN: Oooooooh, Drake is gonna have an interesting life. Drake: PFFT X 3200]

"I really don't know WHO I am."The double said."All I remember is my knowledge of Duel Monsters, and that I was trapped for a very long time in the Millinium Puzzle."

"You don't even your name?"Tea asked in a sad tone.

"I'm afraid not."He said, forlornly.

"Not even a clue?" Drake asked.

"Well, I do know I am a Yami."

"A yami?" We all said.

"A dark half, a second soul, an Item Prisoner."He explained."That's all I really have about myself."

"Yami, then." Yugi said happily. "It's a cool name."

"Well, with that outta the way, I'm officially bored now." Joey said.

"We could duel." Ryo suggested.

We all looked at him.

"I mean, if this world is the place where "Duel Monsters" were created, there'll probly be more duelists coming along. We need to be prepared."

"I guess you're right." Yami said, actually smiling at the thought of new freaks to trounce.

"We could finish that tournament!" I realized, saying out loud." We were supposed to duel each other, but we weren't able to thanks to old Peggy!"

"Good idea!" Yugi said with interest. He turned to Yami." You gonna help me in this one, too?"

"Actually, I'd personally like to see how well you do without me."Yami stated.

The whole group, including me, sweatdropped.

"If I remember right, it was me versus Yugi, then Joey versus Drake!" I said.

*You lier. It was Drake VS Yugi and you VS. Joey. You know that!*

*SHUT UP!* I sent, a little more hurtfully than I intended.* I will not, repeat, NOT, hurt Drake! He, of all people, deserves it the least. How would you feel if your own father abandoned you in an alternate dimension, after destroying several other innocent lives, and all you could do was watch!? I won't help in his hurt, I know what it's like to feel true pain, and I won't be the one to make Drake know it even more than he already does!*

She was quiet for a little while, as I shuffled my deck. Then I heard her gasp.

* I...I'm sorry,... I never knew......*

*Knew what?* I asked her.

*N..N...nothing. And I am sorry. I will try to be a little more helpful. But you can't blame me! This is my first time sharing a body with a Hikari, and in case you don't know, it's weird!*

I chuckled. And she thought SHE had it weird.
**********************************************************************
