Author's Notes: Well here's a second chapter for my.. 1 review. I'd like to thank that one person for taking the time to look over my fic. To respond to something you said though, Jinzo #7 is, in actuality, the only TRUE Jinzo. The card Jinzo in America was actually called Android Psycho Shocker. He is not actually a Jinzo... and I also think that the card Jinzo #7 was actually Jinzo #5, but I'm not entirely certain. Well then, on with the fic... and PLEASE read and review! Or I shall sick Jinzo #7 on you!!!!

The Minor Characters: The Tale of the Forgotten Duel Monsters
Chapter 2: Rumors
((Be certain to read this in a well lit room and sit a good distance from your screen. ^_^ ))
Jinzo #7 sighed as he drank down more of his oil. He looked at his cup, then at his friend the Rainbow Flower, who kept his head down.
"I can't believe they summoned a flower over ME!"
"Well they did have Gaia Power on the field. I was stronger than you."
"Bah! Screw logic! I should have been summoned and you know it!"
"...right.."
The two fell silent as they rested in the bar. Another duel had occurred, this time ending with the duelist playing Gaia Power, then the Rainbow Flower with an Axe of Despair to finish off his opponent. Jinzo #7 growled in anger, his mechanical voice seeming to buzz for a moment before he simply sighed. He looked around, finding nothing but higher up monsters in the bar today. The Magic Users were sitting at a booth, sipping at drinks and discussing their latest conquests. This group consisted of Dark Magician and his associates, like the Dark Magician Girl and Mystical Elf. Jinzo muttered to himself about big shot pretty boys and their ability to attract girls, but no one ever noticed. In a darker corner of the bar, a group of Toons were lounging about, giggling and laughing at people that they'd trip as they walked by. Another group, whom Jinzo had named "The Muscle Morons", sat in the center of the bar. Gaia the Fierce Knight was clearly their leader, with people like the Hayabusa Knight and La Jinn as his subordinates. Jinzo laughed and looked back at his drink of oil.
"It's amazing how many stupid creatures travel here.."
"We practically live here, you know..."
"Yeah but we have good cause!"
"Not really...."
"You're a flower! Be optimistic... and shut up!"
"....."
The two sat in silence before an uproar arose behind them. Jinzo didn't bother to look, but Rainbow Flower turned just in time to see the Dark Magician Girl stand up in a huff, yell something at the Dark Magician and then walk over to the bar and taking a seat next to Jinzo. Jinzo merely turned his head in her direction as she ordered a drink. He scoffed and went back to his drink. Unfortunately for him, the apprentice girl had heard him.
"What?! You have a problem?"
"No.. but you clearly do. A problem in the paradise of being a popular monster?"
The Dark Magician Girl was taken aback, gaping at the small monster that had dared to say that.
"How dare you?! I could destroy you!"
"The majority of Duel Monsters can.. join the list!"
"What's your problem anyways?! I just wanted a drink!"
Jinzo turned his mechanical head around to see the Dark Magician and his group walk out, a look of anger on his face.
"The way your little boyfriend is lookin says otherwise."
The Dark Magician Girl blushed as the Rainbow Flower shook it's head from side to side, muttering about 'starting fights again'.
"He's not my boyfriend! I could care less about him!"
"Uh huh.. whatever. Look just drink your little drink and get away from me. Me and my lower class buddy are going to get wasted and then get lost somewhere."
"Who's lower class? If I recall I got summoned in the last duel."
"That was only because Gaia Power was in play! He would have summoned me in any other circumstance!"
The Dark Magician Girl sweatdropped as the two continued to bicker. She called for her drink again but nothing happened once again. She was reaching over the counter to signal for the bartender, but he continued to ignore her.
"You won't get their attention like that ya know.."
She looked at Jinzo with a curious glance. Jinzo gestured with his head towards the bartender.
"You gotta yell to get his attention. Be real loud and rowdy."
"Hey! Bartender!"
"No no! Not like that! Like this!"
Jinzo turned towards the bartender as the Rainbow Flower attempted to shove it's head into the dirt.
"HEY! JERK-OFF! THE LADY WANTS A DRINK!"
"Be right there!"
The Dark Magician Girl merely gaped as Jinzo leaned back into his chair, chuckling to himself. She blinked before quietly asking him a question.
"How did you do that?"
"When you've been here for the last 20-some-odd years you know how to get things done."
The girl merely nodded before going back to her drink. Jinzo looked at her for a second before turning back to his drink.
"You don't belong here you know."
"Huh?"
The girl looked up from her drink, puzzled by the machine's last statement.
"You should be with the other magic users, not sitting around with a machine and his plant."
"I ain't your plant, you know.."
DMG looked down at the counter, a look of sorrow on her face.
"I don't wanna be around him right now. He's always so mean when he gets with his buddies."
"He probably doesn't mean it.. or he's too stupid to realize it. Besides, you're at your best when he's at his worst, right? So if he does something stupid, you capitalize. Just don't let it get to ya.."
With that, Jinzo took a long swig from his drink. The DMG looked down at her drink before standing up from the counter.
"You're right.. thanks a lot. I needed that."
"Yeah yeah don't mention it... but don't expect that to happen again! This is my drinkin spot, not a psychiatrist's couch!"
The girl was already out the door though, so Jinzo's words fell only on the ears of the flower sitting next to him. The flower looked up at his mechanical friend before smiling.
"That was a good thing you just did, Jinzo."
"Yeah.."
"You really saved their relationship."
"Yeah.. what can I tell ya? I'm a LUV MACHINE!"
"....riiiiiight.. and you wonder why girl's avoid you."
"Girls don't avoid me.. they just are afraid they can't handle the Dream Machine!"
Jinzo continued on with his bad jokes just as his body began to shimmer. Both of the monsters stared in shock as he began to disappear.
"It can't be.."
"I'm being summoned!!!"
~~~
Next time on "The Minor Characters", Jinzo #7 is being summoned for his first duel in almost 2 years! But why is he being summoned and why is the Beautiful Headhuntress present as well? That's all for now! ^_^
