Sequel: Midnight Reunion
Chapter 2
A friendship found
In a clearing of small group of trees, Yugi and the gang were sitting around a glowing campfire, cooking and eating the food that Mai had given them. They all were just about to lie down on to rest on the soft grass, for they had had a full day of dueling. Yugi and Joey each had five star chips. Suddenly they heard a muffled crying nearby.
"Hey guys! You hear that?" asked Joey.
"I don't know, it sounds like someone is crying." replied Tea looking up fire.
"Yea, but where is it coming from?" asked Tristan.
"It sounds like it's coming from beyond those trees over there." said Yugi sounding a little worried.
"Then find out what's wrong. Let's go!" shouted Joey as he rushed through the trees and shrubs wanting to be the hero.
The others pushed away the branches and bushes revealing a big meadow ending in a tall cliff. In middle of the field were two figures, one figure was standing, who the trio immediately recognized as Joey. The figure was a young girl about fifteen with long golden/black hair hanging down and ending in spikes, she was sitting down facing the edge of the cliff, huddled in a ball.
Yani heard them coming through the shrub, but she did not look back, and assuming why they were here, Yani nearly shouted at them with her back still turned.
"Go away; I don't want to duel right now!"
Then a voice came from behind her saying with accent and straining to remain calm, "Hey we don't wanna duel either; we just wanna know why you were cryin'."
Yani then picked up her head from being buried in her chest and turned around to face the tall boy.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Joey Wheeler." said the boy proudly.
"My name is Yani Kinta," responded the girl politely standing up in the process, "It was nice to meet you, but I have to go now. Goodbye."
Then another tall boy with brown hair stepped in front of her, "Hey, you never answered Joey's question. Why were you crying?"
Yani, realizing her eyes were still red and puffy from crying, said, "It's nothing really, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"It's no trouble at all." came a female voice from the bushes.
The three people turned around to see a tall girl with short-brown hair standing next to a short boy with tri-colored hair standing on end; both were standing next to the bushes. Yani gave a small questioning look at the short boy.
'That boy looks strangely familiar, if only I could remember.'
The boy then wandered into his thoughts for a moment also, 'Yani Kinta, where have I heard that name before.'
Then the boy spoke up, "I have an idea, would you like to join us for the night, you can have some of the food that is left over."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, I am kind of hungry." Yani said upon hearing her stomach growl loudly; for she had not eaten anything since she got on the boat for Duelist Kingdom.
As they all sat down around the camp watching Yani slowly eat savoring every bite. While the others introduced themselves as Tea, the tall brown-haired girl, Tristan, the tall brown- haired boy, of course, Joey, the fast-talking blonde boy, and last the multi-color haired boy, who was the same height as Yani, was named.....
"Yugi!" Yani blurted out. "It's me Yani, don't you remember?"
Yugi was both shocked and surprised that he would see his first, oldest, and best friend here and now. They both then embraced each other in long awaited friendship hug. Everyone just stared at the two young teens.
Yugi finally spoke up with excitement, trying to calm from the shock, "What are you doing here Yani?"
Yani then told them everything from defeating Kaiba, losing her Exendria cards to some bully and also Pegasus stealing her grandmother's soul there by forcing her into this tournament. At the end of the story, Yani was in tears again, and Yugi and Tea were trying to comfort her. Suddenly, Joey shouted out.
"You beat Kaiba! Look, there is only one person who beat Kaiba and that's our bud Yugi. Also, what the hell is Exendria?"
With tears forming a glassy shield in her eyes, Yani spoke, "One, I did defeat Kaiba, and two Exendria is a monster that can be summoned only by assembling five special cards, just like the legendary Exodia. So Yugi, how did you defeat Kaiba?"
"I assembled the legendary Exodia?" responded Yugi shocked that she had Exodia's counterpart.
"Where did you learn how to duel, and how do you know Yugi?" asked Tea trying to change the subject.
Yani then told them how they grew up together when her grandma and his grandpa co.-owned a game shop. Then her grandma was offered a bigger shop in Kyoto and she and Yani had to move away when Yugi and Yani were only eight.
Joey then blurted out again, "If you did defeat Kaiba, maybe you should battle Yugi and see who the better duelist is!"
"Joey!" everyone shouted.
"What?"
Then Yugi noticed something gold around Yani's neck.
"Hey Yani, What's that?"
Looking down she said, "My grandma gave it to me when we moved to our new house. It's called the Millennium Heart, it's supposed to give me wisdom and bravery," then noticing something gold around Yugi's neck, "What's that?"
"It's called the Millennium Puzzle, grandpa gave it to me to try to solve the day after you left."
"Hey Yugi. How about a duel right now for old time's sake? I want to see how much you have improved." said Yani.
"Are you sure?" said Yugi. Yani nodded. "All right, but I must warn you, I've gotten a lot better."
"Well so have I." smiled Yani.
And in unison the two shouted, "Let's Duel!"
So the Duel of Long Lost Friends began.
Yani then noticed the Millennium Puzzle was glowing wildly, and a taller, more confident Yugi stepped from the light. Suddenly the Millennium Heart began to glow wildly as well and enveloped Yani.
