This is the final chapter of the sequel: Midnight Reunion. So this is it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Yugioh characters or anything related to that. All I own is Yani Kinta and the Millennium Heart.

Note: This chapter takes place right before the gang's encounter with Bakura.

Midnight Reunion
Chapter 3
The Counterpart Duel
Everyone was wondering what was happening to Yani in the brilliant glow of light given off by the Millennium Heart. Even Yami Yugi was in shock that the exact same thing that happens to him, can happen to her. As the light started to fade away Yani stood there firm and bravery with her arms crossed, but strange thing was that it wasn't Yani, though she looks like Yani, she was different somehow.

This young woman was much taller than Yani, about the same height as Yami Yugi, and her hair was same style as Yanis' except that her hair was little longer and it flared out around her shoulders. Her loose clothing was now tighter-fitting. She opened her eyes and stared at her opponent with piercing dark sapphire blue orbs.

Yami Yugi stared back at her with shocked and surprised crimson orbs.

Silence

Joey then broke the silence saying, "Hey, where did Yani go? And who are you?"

The woman responded, "I am Yani, through the power of the Millennium Heart," then turning to Yami Yugi, "Now, shall we begin?"

"How many star chips do you wish to wager?" stated Yugi being all serious now. He waited for her response, but was surprised when Yame Yani gave nothing but a slight giggle.

"You are so competitive Yugi. You think you have to set a price on a duel even if it's between friends. Well I say we duel, but just to have fun." replied Yame Yani.

Yami Yugi smiled and nodded in agreement.

They both walked to the Dueling Field and started the duel. First, with Yugi going on the attack but fell to Yani's defense monsters and magic and trap cards. Later, Yani went on the attack but the same thing happened. She fell for Yugi's trap and magic cards.

After about two and a half-hours of dueling, they were both tied with 1000 life points each. Yani had her Elf Mistress [1] and a face down monster in defense on the field, while Yugi had his Dark Magician on the field. Yugi then had his Dark Magician attack the Elf Mistress. Suddenly Yani's face down monster rose up and blocked the Dark Magician's attack.

"What happened?" asked a stunned Yugi.

"Please, let me explain," Yani said calmly, "The monster in defense is the White Magician [2]. Her special attack activates when she is in defense mode. She will automatically defend all other monsters on the field. She is also known as the partner of the Dark Magician, and she receives a 300-pt. bonus for any dark magician on the field. Now I switch my white magician to attack mode, and add this magic card, Invigoration, and.....White Magician attack the Dark Magician NOW."

The White Magician began to raise her staff preparing to attack, when she saw the face of her target, she stopped. Everybody including Yani was shocked. Yugi then let out a small chuckle and said.

"It seems you have forgotten one detail. True, the white magician is the partner of the dark magician, but that also means that no matter how powerful she becomes she would never attack her partner, and vice versa. It seems we have come to a draw. Since neither of our monster will attack each other."

Yani agreed as they both stepped from their dueling platforms and walked over to each other to shake hands. When they touched both had a small flashback of standing in the water at Midnight. (A/N: Hey! I had to tie it in somehow with first story) Not knowing what it meant but had a strange feeling it was a lost memory. Hesitantly, they released the handshake returning to their normal selves.

Then out of nowhere the others came running over to them.

"Wow, that was an amazing duel, I didn't know that monsters had counterparts," said Tea congratulating them both, "Your White Magician is beautiful, Yani."

"Thank you Tea, that also happens to be my favorite monster."

"Really! That's weird, because the dark magician is favorite." Stated Yugi.

"That is weird, but also understandable since we have so much in common, right Yugi?" replied Yani.

Joey then butted in again, "Hey, I got an idea, since you two seem to have partner monsters, maybe you should combine your strengths and work together and become partners yourselves. Yani can draw her opponent into a false sense of security and Yugi could hit them with a surprise attack or vice versa. It's the perfect team!"

Tristan and Tea nodded in agreement.

Yugi and Yani looked at each other and smiled but with a funny feeling that they were meant to fight together.

(Later that night)

They all returned to the camp spot with their new friend for some long awaited sleep, but again they heard rustling in the bushes. A boy, long spiky white hair, came out and everyone but Yani went up to him and shouted.

"Bakura!"

Yani assumed that was his name.

The others brought Bakura over to sit with them and introduced him to Yani and vice versa. Yani noticed Bakura lock his eyes on her Millennium Heart, and gave a small smirk and a glance at her.

Then Bakura turned back to everyone and asked them what each of their favorite cards are. With Tristans' is the Cyber Commando, Joey's is the Flame Swordsman, Tea's is the Magician of Faith, Yugi's is the Dark Magician, Yani's is the White Magician, and Bakura's is the Change of heart card.

Bakura then spoke again innocently and said, "How about a duel right now, not for star chips, just for a little fun? And how about all of you each put your favorite cards into Yugi's and Yani's decks so it feel like we are all playing."

They all nodded.

"But first, there's something I want to show you, especially you two, Yugi and Yani." Said Bakura sounding more devious.

The two teens looked at each other both wondering what was going on. Yani then gripped Yugi's hand secretly as if she knew what was coming.

"Do you trust me?" Yani whispered to Yugi.

"...."

"Yugi!"

"I trust you, my friend."

"Then hold on tight!"

Suddenly a gold ring appeared on Bakura's chest, and it glowed instantly separating the souls from the five teen's bodies. And he put their souls into their favorite cards. But as he reached for the Puzzle and Heart, Yami and Yame awoke and they both pulled Bakura into a duel saying that if they win he would release everyone's souls.

In unison three shouted, "It's time to duel!"

So the duel with the evil spirit of the ring began.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I think most you know what happens during this duel. But I just wanted to tell you I changed one scene around where Evil Bakura tells good Bakura to take over Yani's body instead of Yugi's body.
