Race to the Finish!
Note: I'm sorry if the story is too close to the game. I'm going
to change some of it, alright?

" Are you guys at it again? Allright, I'll be the judge! The usual rules apply..
Take any route you want! First one to tag that tree and back, wins! " Yugi
clapped his hands gleefully, bouncing lightly.

Jou looked up thoughtfully. "Alright! I can do this! Pegs, you're going to lose this time!"

" What are the stakes?" Yugi asked, squeeking.

" Eehhh.. If I win, I'm caption!" Jounouchi announced proudly. " And if you win.. "

" I get to share the paopu with Yugi. " Pegasus smirked lightly.

" What?! Wait a minute.. Uh, what.. " Jou was puzzled.

" You heard me. I get to share the paopu with Yugi. " Pegasus grinned, looking at Jounouchi.

" Wha.. "

" Okay! On my count! Three..Two.. One..GO! ' Yugi squeeled.

Pegasus ran ahead of Jounouchi. Jou gasped as he ran after the silver haired sixteen year old,
trying to catch up. As the two dashed across a bridge, Pegasus stopped and began to climb
a wooden tower. Jounouchi, given the time to pass up Pegasus, did so. But once Jou was in
the lead, Pegasus zipped by on a rope that swung all the way to the big tree. And the blonde panted,
as soon as Jou got to tag the star, Pegasus was already jumping down from the tree, heading back.
When Jounouchi finally got to the finish line, Pegasus had already beaten him.

" Heh, Good try, Jou. " Pegasus smirked, running a hand through his hair. "I guess I'm caption, then. "

" What? What about the paopu.." Jou stammered.

" If you really want to know, I was just kidding. You really need to not take that so seriously, Jou. "
Pegasus blinked, looking at the blonde.

" Yeh.. Whatever." Jounouchi waved off the comment and walked over to Kairi.

" Aww, I really thought you'd win that time, Jou! " Yugi squeeked. " But anyway, I
need you to go get a mushroom. I think I saw one in the Secret place! " He smiled.

" Alright, Yug'! " Jou stretched and walked off. He was heading to a cave, that was covered
in plants. Jounouchi briefly remembered the drawings he and Yugi drew in the cave, but shook
the thought off when he entered the cave, yawning. Then, suddenly.. Something didn't feel right..
As if he were being watched.

" Who's there?! " Jou said, looking around. Then his gaze came to a hooded man.

" I've come to see the door to this world. " The man said, in a barely audible tone.

" W-what are you talking about?" Jounouchi blinked, stepping forward.

" Tied to the darkness.. Soon to be completely eclisped. "

" Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out! Where did you come from, you mysterious
hooded man!? " Jou argued with the other.

" You do not yet know what lies beyond the door. "

" So! You're from another world! C'mon, talk!! " Jou pointed, accusingly.

" There is so very much to learn.. You understand so little."

" Oh YEAH!? Well, you'll see!!! I'm gunna get out there and LEARN what's out there!! "

" A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing.. can understand nothing. "

Jou watched as the hooded man, and the door, dissapered.

" ... That was some freaky crap. "
