Yu-Gi-Oh and the Soul Liberation Chap. 1 : New kids in town !
« Oh! Man!!! yelled Joey. I lost again! »
Everybody started laughing. The class was about to start and Yugi, Joey, Thea and Tristan were playing Magic and Wizard..... Again! They just ended their last duel and as usual, Yugi was the winner.
« Don't you ever get tire of losing to Yugi? »Asked Thea.
« Yeah! Yugi, you should let other have some fun too, y'know! » said Tristan.
Joey turns back with a evil look on his face.
« I'll show you fun! Come here you &%&"!!!» Yelled Joey chasing Tristan around the class.
Yugi laugh louder. If he didn't know better he would say these two couldn't stand each other. Even after all they've been through together, Yugi was still suprised by their overeacting.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Doing!!! (strange bell....)
English class was about o start.
« Everybody sit down! Yelled the teacher. Today boys and girls, we have two new student! I would like you to be nice to them..... for a change! »
The door opened and the two new kids came in. The first one was a girl. Yugi got a funny feeling while he was looking at her: she had a long blond curly hair with black on some lock of hair. She had deep green eyes and a pale skin. She was wearing two earings - Very big earings! - and a necklace with a piece of amethys and a friendship ring. But what was the most special on her face was that big scar on her forhead. A big X, just like if someone has wanted to open her head!
« Maybe she got that in a fight, thought Yugi, All though, she doesn't look like a fighter! »
She was looking kinda annoyed by the boy next to her. He was mysterious: he had a long black hair and pale blue eyes. He had a little wound on his left cheek. Some girls in a corner of the class started to chortle.
« He look tougher..... » tought Yugi.
« Please, present yourselfs. » said the teacher.
The girl made a step forward.
« My name is Yumi Roshi. I am happy to be part of your group. » she said.
Yugi almost fell off his chair. Wow! What a nice voice! He had the strange sensation he knew that voice somehow.
« And I'm Zakaresh, Zakaresh Lockheart. » Said the cold voice of the young boy. Then again, Yugi knew it wasn't his real voice. Probably was he sending a message to everyone: « Don't mess with me or you'll regret it! »
Yugi sure didn't want to mess with anyone! Zakaresh looked like a bad guy and Yugi had seen enough bad guys for all his life!
After the class, when the bell rang again, Yugi and the gang packed up and as they were about to pass the door, the teacher asked Thea to guide the new students around the school.
« Sure ! » she answered.
Yugi and the gang decided to stay with her and help her in guiding the students to their class.
« So ? asked Thea, When did you two arrive in town? »
« Few days ago. Said Yumi. I travel the world all the time and it's not always easy to keep up with all those school changes. I think I'll take a break and stay here for a while... »
« I agree with you, this place looks nice ! » said Zakaresh.
« You guys know each other?! » Asked Thea.
« Yep ! answer the girl with a smile. We know each other since kindergarden. He has stick on to me since then. He's the best friend ever !»
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Doing!!!
« Time to go to class. Said the young boy pointing the class they were heading for. Hum... Thea ? Is that our class ? »
« Yes ! it's the science class. She answered. The teacher is really boring so just try not to fall asleep... He hates that and you would get a very bad start if you had to have a detention the first day ! »
« Thanks for the tip! See you after class Thea! » said Yumi.
Yumi saluted the gang and disapeared in the class, followed by Zakaresh.
« Strange couple... » said Joey.
« Couple?! asked Yugi, suprised. She never said they were dating! »
« Come on, Yugi! laugh Joey, isn't it obvious? He's crazy about her! »
« But... »
« They WOULD make a great couple! Said Thea to him, just think about it : They've known each other since kindergarden ! How sweet ! »
« We've known each other for as much long too so... would that mean... »though Yugi.
« Hey guys ! We're gonna be late for class ! ! ! ! suddendly yelled Tristan. Hurry up ! ! ! »
Everybody rushed to their respective classes. Yugi couldn't concentrate all class long. He couldn't stop thinking about the new girl and her familliar look. He found himself blushing while thinking of the way she smiled. But then the bell rang again, ending Math class. As he walked in the corridor he heard a dispute in a corner. He went to check it out. He found Yumi and Zakaresh in an heavy discussion.
« You are not made for this life and you know it ! You should go back home and wait 'til I found the money. I appreciate your help but you can't go on like that ! »
« Yumi ! you need my help. I promised I would stay by your side and I will! I know you can't do it without me anyway. You get weaker with every moving. If something would go wrong while I'm gone, I would never forgive myself ! »
« That's why I'm gonna stay here for a while. I 'm not a child, Zakaresh ! »
« But you can't raise all the money all by yourself ! It will take you too much time ! »
« . »She calmed down then smiled. « I heard you were a great duelist, Yugi Muto... »calmy said the girl turning back at Yugi.
« Ooops ! ! » though the young boy.
« Yugi ?! yelled Zakaresh. What are you... »
« I've never played myself. » Interrompted Yumi. «Maybe I should. »
« Sure ! We could even play together some time. How about you, Zakary ? »replied Yugi, happy that Yumi was not mad at him for sneeking up on her like that.
« The name's Zakaresh, not Zakary ! replied the boy with an angry look, and I'm not interested in playing with you. »
« oh..... sorry. Said Yugi. Well... see you some other time ! »
Yugi ran off as quick as possible. He didn't think he would get alone very well with Zakaresh. What was with that guy anyway? Yugi was just trying to socialize and he just pushed him away! Did he do something that offened him?
It was now dinner time. As usual, Yugi and the gang watched the Duel games that took places in the cafeteriat. Yugi profited of the occasion to teach Joey some more strategies. Suddenly, their attention were drawn to a table were the duel has just ended. Someone was crying ! The gang decided to check it out. They found out that the guy who was crying, Thomas, had lost the game and his deck at the same time ! Brian, his opponent, was known for being one of the best duelist of the school (exept for Yugi of coarse !) and one of the thoughest bullies.
« oh..... Man ! cried Thomas, howcome I always lose ? »
« Because you only pick on the bests ! » replied Brian.
« But I just got that deck... with an ultra rare card in it. »
« Well now it's mine ! » he replied with an evil laugh.
Everyone stayed quiet for a moment. Then a voice came out from behind Brian and said :
« You do not have the right to take his deck away like that ! »
Brian turned around and found himself face to face with... Yumi ! Brian glared at her for a few seconds then smiled and said :
« What was that, cutie ? The right ? I win, he loses, he pays the price ! What's the problem ? »
« I personnly think you are a disgrace to games. And I'm gonna make sure you will be punished for that insolence. »
« Oh yeah ? And who's gonna make me ? » he asked.
« Me. I'm challenging you to a duel !»
« What ? shouted Yugi in suprise. But I thought you've never played ! »
« It's true... » she replied.
« You ? ! ? And do you have a deck ? » asked Brian.
« I shall use this one. She said pointing at Thomas' deck. If I win, you'll give it back to him AND you will have to do everything I say. »
« And if... I mean, when I win, what do I get ? Oh ! I got an idea. How about a date ? During one whole night, you will do everything I say, deal ? »
« Deal ! »
« Yumi ! » shouted Zakaresh.
« Great ! Lets get the table set ! » he said with a big smile.
As the table was prepeared, Yumi start realizing what a horrible mistake she had made. She didn't even know how to play ! She started looking for Yugi. Maybe he could give her some tips before the game. She found him after a few seconds.
« So ? Got any advises for me ? she said in a pity way. I think I made a mistake already... »
« There's no mistake in trying to help others. He replied with a smile. But for your duel, the only advise I can give you is : Beleive in yourself and in the cards. If you do, they will help you. Of coarse, a little luck can also help ! » « Thank you, Yugi. She replied with another smile. I'll try to remember that. »
Yumi sat at the table where Brian was waiting for her. They shuffled each others' deck and each drew five cards. Yumi was thinking very hard. Not about the cards but how she could turn her unknowledge of the game as an advantage. She soon found a way.
« You know, this is my first time. She said with a soft, sexy voice. So please, go easy on me. I don't want to get hurt the fisrt time. Promise you'll go easy on me. »
« Oh ! I get it ! you're still a... this is much more interesting ! Ok, I promise, I 'll teach you how to do it. After all, I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't. »
« Ooooh... thank you so much, Brian. » she replied with the same sexy voice.
« Ok ! Lets Duel ! ! ! » he replied, blushing.
« Were they talking about the game ? ! ? » asked Joey.
« I'm going first ! I play Land Star Warrior (500/(1200) in defense mode ! » started Yumi
« Haha ! Cute move, babe, but your Star Warrior won't stay very long on this land ! for I 'm playing, Harpy Lady (1300/1400) in attack mode. The first thing you must know about M&W is that the monster which has the more power points in the mode it's in, wins. The difference between the points is deducted from the loser's Life points. First do get 2000 points of damage loses the game. Your monster has 1200 defense points and to beat it, I need a monster with a Attack Power higher then that. My harpy lady wins this round. But since your monster was in defense mode, it won't affect your Life points. Both of the monsters have to be in attack mode to inflict damage to your opponent. Your turn. »
« Ok. Then, I play Wyvern Warrior (1500/1200) in attack mode ! It destroys your Harpy Lady and take 200 points of damage to your Life points. »
« What ? ! I mean... it's cool ! I'm a good teacher. This game is just starting and soon you'll be mine, Babe. I play Mahar Vairo (1550/1400) in attack mode. Say good bye to your little Wyvern, babe ! and you lose 50 points. » he said with conviction.
People as already left the place. The issue of this duel was too evident to them and they had other things to do. The only people left were Yugi, Thomas, Zakaresh, Thea, Joey, Trsitan, Brian and Yumi and some other girl. Yumi stayed quiet for a while. She took a deep breath. She closed her eyes like to profite of a little wind passing near by or if something warm was passing through her body. She suddenly looked different. She opened her eyes and looked down at her cards again. She was more confident and looked more determinate to win. Yugi felt the difference and heard a voice deep inside him.
« Yugi ! I sense an ancient presence here ! » shouted that voice.
« I konw... » replied Yugi to himself.
She started grinning.
« So you finally got to make some damage to my life points ? It's about time ! but let me tell you something : I won't lose any more of them. You have fallen into my trap of innocence and tought I was too nice and sweet to fight with all I've got. And let me tell you something else. She said with an evil grin. You are going down ! I play Sun Warrior (2100/1400) in attack mode ! »
« Sun Warrior ? ! ? he shouted. I've never seen this one before. »
« That's my ultra rare card I was talking about. » said Thomas.
« Damn it ! the only thing I can play is Koumori Dragon (1500/1400) in defense mode. »
« Ha ha ! trying to buy time by putting your monsters in defense mode, huh ? Well see my Sun Warrior destroys your silly Dragon ! » she laugh.
« Just you wait 'til I get the card I want ! » he said as he drow another card. He took a look at his card. « The Electric Lizard... another useless monster ! he thought. But wait ! The Electric Lizard Paralyzes the monster who destroys it. If she attacks it with her Sun Warrior, it will be paralyzed for a turn and it will buy me some time ! » A smile, appeared on his face, and he made his move:
« I play Electric Lizard (850/800) in defense mode ! Your turn. »
« Ok... I see you haven't got much powerful monsters left. She said with pity as she drow a card. For my move, I play Command Knight (1200/1900) in attack mode and attack your silly Lizard. My monster is paralysed by the effect of your card but my Sun Warrior is still in game ! »
« NO ! my strategie didn't work ! if I don't pull out the card I want, I'm finished ! » he cried as his hand headed for his deck. He pulled a card, not daring to look. He finally opened his eyes. « Cool ! ! ! I can't beleive it ! I drow my most powerful card ! he shouted in joy. Lets see how you do face to this : I play Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in attack mode ! Go Skull ! attack her Sun Warrior, NOW ! ! ! »
« Oh my god ! said Yumi in a sarcastic way. I wonder how much time my poor Sun Warrior will stand against him ! » She then started to laugh. « Enough playing ! Before I send my Warrior to the graveyard, I want you to know that when the Sun Warrior fight with a demon type monster, it gains 500 attack points. »
« What ? ! ? »
« Brillant ! » shouted Yugi.
« Plus, you should also know that Commander Knight has a special effect on Warrior type monster : it gives them 500 more attack points too. So lets count ! 500+500=1000 additionnal attack points. That brings my Sun Warrior's attack points to 3100/1400. Who loses Life points now, moron ? »
« NOOOoooo... » yelled Brian. « My very best monster... gone ! like that ! It can't be ! ! ! »
« ...and don't think about destroying my Knight 'cause as long as there's other monster on my field, you can't attack it ! » she added with an evil laugh.
« I...I...give up... » he replied in shock.
A deep silence fell on the group then everybody started claping their hand together. Nobody could beleive their eyes. There were no way Brian could have lost to a beginner. Not like that ! It was a total humiliation... Yumi stood up, packed up Thomas' deck and gave it back to him. She was back to normal. Her eyes were full of kindness and joy and her smile was soft and gentle. Thomas thank her and ran off to tell everyone about Brian's defeat followed by Tristan and Thea and the other girl. Yumi turned back at Brian and her cold look came back.
--+++++-- « You are a discrease to Magic & Wizards. For spoiling this wonderful game, you shall pay the ultimate prize !» she coldly said as Brian started to see a black shadow behind her.
The shadow grow bigger until it circle him. He was hot and had difficulties with breathing normally. Soon, a horrible pain went through his brain like an electric shock. He fell on the ground like a bag of potato. His eyes were empty.
« You will never be able to play any game anymore because even if eventually you wake up, the world will not be the same. » --+++++--
Everybody rushed to Brian to help him get up. Brian was known for being though and everybody was suprised to see him faint like that, including Yumi. She rushed to him with the others but soon she aslo felt funny so she walked away followed by Zakaresh.
Yugi, then realized that something was wrong. He decided to ask Joey about it.
« Do you have any idea of what just happenned ? » he asked him.
« Yeah ! That big bully just got beaten by Roshi Yumi ! »he answered.
« No, I mean the way she was acting. She scared me a little ! »
« What are you talking about ? ! he answered, suprised. She was acting totally normal, dude. She was almost looking like an innocent child ! »
« But... the way she laugh. It was almost evil ! And... »
« Wait a sec, Yug. Are we talking about the same Yumi ? »
« I'm not sure... » he answered thoughful.
Later that day, everybody talked about the humilating defeat Brian had suffered. Yumi has become famous because of her duel with him. But also, people talked about him in the hospital. He haven't woken up yet. Some people even said he was in the coma ! Yugi was still not sure of what he had seen. It seems that he was the only one who noticed Yumi's change of personnality. At least, that's how Yugi called it. He was thinking that maybe Zakaresh would have noticed something but he didn't dare to go talk to him. Joey said he was crazy about Yumi. Did Zakaresh think he was trying to put a move on her ? He saw this as the best explanation so he decided not to see Yumi anymore. Luckly for him, he didn't see her for the rest of the day. After school, he went back home.
« Grandpa ! I'm home ! he shouted entrering the shop. How was your day ? »
« Hi Yugi ! What are you doing here ? » said Yumi.
« Gyaaaa ! ! ! Yumi ! What are you doing here ! ? ! » yelled Yugi, jumping back.
« Great ! said Grandpa. Yugi, I was waiting for you. This is Yumi Roshi and she's gonna work here for a while. Isn't it cool ? »
« Yeah... sure. Great ! » he replied with a false enthousiasm. « I'm happy I can work here, Yugi. She said with a smile. Here ! » she add, taking a piece of paper and writing something on it. « This is my phone number. If you need me, call me anytime ! Bye Mr. Muto ! See you tomorrow, Yugi ! »
She ran out of the store. Yugi blank his eyes a few times, after several minutes, he realized Yumi's number was still in his hand. He blushed thinking about how he looked : staring at a closed door with a girl's phone number in hand. He shook his head and turned to his grand father. Grandpa was looking at him with a little smile.
« What ? » asked Yugi.
« Oh..... no, nothing... » he replied turn back to the backstore. Then he started singing for himself.
« Yugi and Yumi, sitting in a tree... »
« Grandpa ! ! ! » shouted Yugi, blushing even more.
He started chasing him around the store while Grandpa continue singing the little song...
That night, at Yumi's house, a door openned on a curious chamber. It looked like a kind of library because all the wall were covered by tons of old book. Their tittle have been erased with time but the knowledge inside was still untouched. The presence slide in the shadows of the library. It was moving so fast that it couldn't be seen. The presence got to a specific rack. It picked up a specific book and opened it. A glowing mist was covering the white pages as if it was a new book. It looked at the page for a while and started resiting some strange incantations :
« May my Name be restitute to the grand temple of the Other Side ! May I keep the memory of my Name, In the middle of the high defense walls of the Inferior World, When comes the night where the years and the months will be counted. 1 Let me remember... »
Yumi woke up in a sweat. She looked around her but didn't heard anything. When she closed her eyes... the voice started again ! She got up and went in the other room next to her's. The presence kept singing the phrases all night. She did some strange dreams that night, where she was a queen of the nil in Egypt. She was the wife of a young pharaon. She also knew it was a very hard era for Egypt. Monsters were everywhere ! They each had a master which give them order to attack or defend. She remembered to be next to one of these master. It was the young pharaon. When she was affraid, she would get closer to him and he would say rassuring things and made her beleive in the monsters and in herself. That made her fell better... but not for long as a big hole opened under the young boy's feets and as he falled in, hoping in despears that his love would grab his hand and save him. But his wife was not moving, paralysed by her fears and by the seek of her love going away from her without being able to do anything. Soon, the young boy was only an image in the girl's mind. But now, this image has tangled and she could no longer reconnize the pharaon as the memory flew away with time and as the pain was still very fresh. Yumi didn't slept well that night and did horrible nightmare like that. Always with ancient Egypt and the pharaon she could no longer reconize. It was all a big mystery.
The next day was a hot Saturday of summer. Yugi, as usual, helped his grandpa open the store. He was still mad at his grandpa for making fun of him. For himself, Yugi had a long dicussion with his other self, last night.
« I don't know how to explain it ! One moment she's nice and the next, she's acting so...mean ! » Yugi said.
« We most find out what's going on with that girl. Plus, the way she was duelling, it looked familiar. » replied Yami.
« You think you know her ? » Yugi asked. « That would explain the fact I'm feeling like know her too. »
« I'm sure of nothing for the moment. We have to find out for ourself. »
« That won't be difficult ! she's gonna work at my grandpa's toy store for a while. »
« Perfect. We have to get close to her...»
« I don't think this would be such a good idea...»
« Why not ? »
« Because... there is this boy with her... Joey thinks he's in love with her. I don't want him to think I want to put a move on her ! »
« oh... I see. » answered Yami, «Is she that cute ? »
« Of coarse she is...» replied Yugi. «What ? what I am saying ! ? ! »
« Hehehe... » laughed Yami.
« This isn't funny ! »
« I just though of something. What if she had a millenium item ? that would explain it all ! » said the ancient king.
« Are you serious ? a millenium item ? what item could it be. I didn't see anything. The only things she wears is a pair of earing and a necklace with a purple stone and a ring on it. »
« It could be a millenium ring... oh no... Bakura has this one. » he remembered. So maybe it was the millenium earing. Did they looked ancients ? »
« Come to think of it, yes they do ! They look like earings wore by the queens of the nil in ancient Egypt. » replied Yugi.
« Then it's settle ! we have to investigate on her ! »
The millenium items. Yugi knew the items were very mysterious and have magical powers. Still he didn't know what were all the items. The only thing he was sure of was that a millenium item in the wrong hands could be dangerous.
« This is ridiculous ! How can Yumi have got an item ? Sometimes, my other self says the weirdest things. » he said to himself.
« Yugi ! yelled Grandpa from the back store. Can you call Yumi and tell her to come and help ? »
« Why grandpa ? » asked Yugi, suspecting a joke from his grand father.
« We have to prepare the mega sell of next week. I need help to decorate the place. She's a girl, no ? Girls have the touch with decoration. » he answered.
« ok... » replied Yugi.
He took the phone but freezed. What was he thinking ? he couldn't call her like that... like if he was calling Joey or Thea ! He had to prepare somehow. What if he wakes her up ? He didn't really had a choice ! He picked up the phone and composed Yumi's number. It rang a few times then someone picked up the phone.
« Hello ? Zakaresh speaking. » Said the voice in the telephone.
« Zakaresh ! ? ! » shouted Yugi.
« Yugi ! ? ! » shouted Zakaresh. « What the... ! »
But the voice was shut cut as Yugi heard a new voice on the line.
« Yugi ! said Yumi. How's it going ? »
« hummm... fine ! And you ? » he replied.
« I'm doing great, thank you. So ?What can I do for you ? »
« Err... oh yeah ! My grandpa would like you to come at the store and help him out with the decoration. That is, if you don't have anything else in plan. It would be your first job. » quickly said Yugi.
« It would be great ! I haven't got anything today. I'm all yours ! » she replied.
« What ? ! ? » Yugi heard Zakaresh yelled. « HIS ? ! ? »
« Anyway ! said Yumi. I'll be there in ten minutes. See you later, Yugi ! »
Both hang up. Yugi stayed quiet for a while. He then took a deep breath.
«... this isn't gonna be pretty on Monday... » he whispered.
To be continued.

Yu-Gi-Oh and the Soul Liberation Chap. 1 : New kids in town !
« Oh! Man!!! yelled Joey. I lost again! »
Everybody started laughing. The class was about to start and Yugi, Joey, Thea and Tristan were playing Magic and Wizard..... Again! They just ended their last duel and as usual, Yugi was the winner.
« Don't you ever get tire of losing to Yugi? »Asked Thea.
« Yeah! Yugi, you should let other have some fun too, y'know! » said Tristan.
Joey turns back with a evil look on his face.
« I'll show you fun! Come here you &%&"!!!» Yelled Joey chasing Tristan around the class.
Yugi laugh louder. If he didn't know better he would say these two couldn't stand each other. Even after all they've been through together, Yugi was still suprised by their overeacting.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Doing!!! (strange bell....)
English class was about o start.
« Everybody sit down! Yelled the teacher. Today boys and girls, we have two new student! I would like you to be nice to them..... for a change! »
The door opened and the two new kids came in. The first one was a girl. Yugi got a funny feeling while he was looking at her: she had a long blond curly hair with black on some lock of hair. She had deep green eyes and a pale skin. She was wearing two earings - Very big earings! - and a necklace with a piece of amethys and a friendship ring. But what was the most special on her face was that big scar on her forhead. A big X, just like if someone has wanted to open her head!
« Maybe she got that in a fight, thought Yugi, All though, she doesn't look like a fighter! »
She was looking kinda annoyed by the boy next to her. He was mysterious: he had a long black hair and pale blue eyes. He had a little wound on his left cheek. Some girls in a corner of the class started to chortle.
« He look tougher..... » tought Yugi.
« Please, present yourselfs. » said the teacher.
The girl made a step forward.
« My name is Yumi Roshi. I am happy to be part of your group. » she said.
Yugi almost fell off his chair. Wow! What a nice voice! He had the strange sensation he knew that voice somehow.
« And I'm Zakaresh, Zakaresh Lockheart. » Said the cold voice of the young boy. Then again, Yugi knew it wasn't his real voice. Probably was he sending a message to everyone: « Don't mess with me or you'll regret it! »
Yugi sure didn't want to mess with anyone! Zakaresh looked like a bad guy and Yugi had seen enough bad guys for all his life!
After the class, when the bell rang again, Yugi and the gang packed up and as they were about to pass the door, the teacher asked Thea to guide the new students around the school.
« Sure ! » she answered.
Yugi and the gang decided to stay with her and help her in guiding the students to their class.
« So ? asked Thea, When did you two arrive in town? »
« Few days ago. Said Yumi. I travel the world all the time and it's not always easy to keep up with all those school changes. I think I'll take a break and stay here for a while... »
« I agree with you, this place looks nice ! » said Zakaresh.
« You guys know each other?! » Asked Thea.
« Yep ! answer the girl with a smile. We know each other since kindergarden. He has stick on to me since then. He's the best friend ever !»
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Doing!!!
« Time to go to class. Said the young boy pointing the class they were heading for. Hum... Thea ? Is that our class ? »
« Yes ! it's the science class. She answered. The teacher is really boring so just try not to fall asleep... He hates that and you would get a very bad start if you had to have a detention the first day ! »
« Thanks for the tip! See you after class Thea! » said Yumi.
Yumi saluted the gang and disapeared in the class, followed by Zakaresh.
« Strange couple... » said Joey.
« Couple?! asked Yugi, suprised. She never said they were dating! »
« Come on, Yugi! laugh Joey, isn't it obvious? He's crazy about her! »
« But... »
« They WOULD make a great couple! Said Thea to him, just think about it : They've known each other since kindergarden ! How sweet ! »
« We've known each other for as much long too so... would that mean... »though Yugi.
« Hey guys ! We're gonna be late for class ! ! ! ! suddendly yelled Tristan. Hurry up ! ! ! »
Everybody rushed to their respective classes. Yugi couldn't concentrate all class long. He couldn't stop thinking about the new girl and her familliar look. He found himself blushing while thinking of the way she smiled. But then the bell rang again, ending Math class. As he walked in the corridor he heard a dispute in a corner. He went to check it out. He found Yumi and Zakaresh in an heavy discussion.
« You are not made for this life and you know it ! You should go back home and wait 'til I found the money. I appreciate your help but you can't go on like that ! »
« Yumi ! you need my help. I promised I would stay by your side and I will! I know you can't do it without me anyway. You get weaker with every moving. If something would go wrong while I'm gone, I would never forgive myself ! »
« That's why I'm gonna stay here for a while. I 'm not a child, Zakaresh ! »
« But you can't raise all the money all by yourself ! It will take you too much time ! »
« . »She calmed down then smiled. « I heard you were a great duelist, Yugi Muto... »calmy said the girl turning back at Yugi.
« Ooops ! ! » though the young boy.
« Yugi ?! yelled Zakaresh. What are you... »
« I've never played myself. » Interrompted Yumi. «Maybe I should. »
« Sure ! We could even play together some time. How about you, Zakary ? »replied Yugi, happy that Yumi was not mad at him for sneeking up on her like that.
« The name's Zakaresh, not Zakary ! replied the boy with an angry look, and I'm not interested in playing with you. »
« oh..... sorry. Said Yugi. Well... see you some other time ! »
Yugi ran off as quick as possible. He didn't think he would get alone very well with Zakaresh. What was with that guy anyway? Yugi was just trying to socialize and he just pushed him away! Did he do something that offened him?
It was now dinner time. As usual, Yugi and the gang watched the Duel games that took places in the cafeteriat. Yugi profited of the occasion to teach Joey some more strategies. Suddenly, their attention were drawn to a table were the duel has just ended. Someone was crying ! The gang decided to check it out. They found out that the guy who was crying, Thomas, had lost the game and his deck at the same time ! Brian, his opponent, was known for being one of the best duelist of the school (exept for Yugi of coarse !) and one of the thoughest bullies.
« oh..... Man ! cried Thomas, howcome I always lose ? »
« Because you only pick on the bests ! » replied Brian.
« But I just got that deck... with an ultra rare card in it. »
« Well now it's mine ! » he replied with an evil laugh.
Everyone stayed quiet for a moment. Then a voice came out from behind Brian and said :
« You do not have the right to take his deck away like that ! »
Brian turned around and found himself face to face with... Yumi ! Brian glared at her for a few seconds then smiled and said :
« What was that, cutie ? The right ? I win, he loses, he pays the price ! What's the problem ? »
« I personnly think you are a disgrace to games. And I'm gonna make sure you will be punished for that insolence. »
« Oh yeah ? And who's gonna make me ? » he asked.
« Me. I'm challenging you to a duel !»
« What ? shouted Yugi in suprise. But I thought you've never played ! »
« It's true... » she replied.
« You ? ! ? And do you have a deck ? » asked Brian.
« I shall use this one. She said pointing at Thomas' deck. If I win, you'll give it back to him AND you will have to do everything I say. »
« And if... I mean, when I win, what do I get ? Oh ! I got an idea. How about a date ? During one whole night, you will do everything I say, deal ? »
« Deal ! »
« Yumi ! » shouted Zakaresh.
« Great ! Lets get the table set ! » he said with a big smile.
As the table was prepeared, Yumi start realizing what a horrible mistake she had made. She didn't even know how to play ! She started looking for Yugi. Maybe he could give her some tips before the game. She found him after a few seconds.
« So ? Got any advises for me ? she said in a pity way. I think I made a mistake already... »
« There's no mistake in trying to help others. He replied with a smile. But for your duel, the only advise I can give you is : Beleive in yourself and in the cards. If you do, they will help you. Of coarse, a little luck can also help ! » « Thank you, Yugi. She replied with another smile. I'll try to remember that. »
Yumi sat at the table where Brian was waiting for her. They shuffled each others' deck and each drew five cards. Yumi was thinking very hard. Not about the cards but how she could turn her unknowledge of the game as an advantage. She soon found a way.
« You know, this is my first time. She said with a soft, sexy voice. So please, go easy on me. I don't want to get hurt the fisrt time. Promise you'll go easy on me. »
« Oh ! I get it ! you're still a... this is much more interesting ! Ok, I promise, I 'll teach you how to do it. After all, I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't. »
« Ooooh... thank you so much, Brian. » she replied with the same sexy voice.
« Ok ! Lets Duel ! ! ! » he replied, blushing.
« Were they talking about the game ? ! ? » asked Joey.
« I'm going first ! I play Land Star Warrior (500/(1200) in defense mode ! » started Yumi
« Haha ! Cute move, babe, but your Star Warrior won't stay very long on this land ! for I 'm playing, Harpy Lady (1300/1400) in attack mode. The first thing you must know about M&W is that the monster which has the more power points in the mode it's in, wins. The difference between the points is deducted from the loser's Life points. First do get 2000 points of damage loses the game. Your monster has 1200 defense points and to beat it, I need a monster with a Attack Power higher then that. My harpy lady wins this round. But since your monster was in defense mode, it won't affect your Life points. Both of the monsters have to be in attack mode to inflict damage to your opponent. Your turn. »
« Ok. Then, I play Wyvern Warrior (1500/1200) in attack mode ! It destroys your Harpy Lady and take 200 points of damage to your Life points. »
« What ? ! I mean... it's cool ! I'm a good teacher. This game is just starting and soon you'll be mine, Babe. I play Mahar Vairo (1550/1400) in attack mode. Say good bye to your little Wyvern, babe ! and you lose 50 points. » he said with conviction.
People as already left the place. The issue of this duel was too evident to them and they had other things to do. The only people left were Yugi, Thomas, Zakaresh, Thea, Joey, Trsitan, Brian and Yumi and some other girl. Yumi stayed quiet for a while. She took a deep breath. She closed her eyes like to profite of a little wind passing near by or if something warm was passing through her body. She suddenly looked different. She opened her eyes and looked down at her cards again. She was more confident and looked more determinate to win. Yugi felt the difference and heard a voice deep inside him.
« Yugi ! I sense an ancient presence here ! » shouted that voice.
« I konw... » replied Yugi to himself.
She started grinning.
« So you finally got to make some damage to my life points ? It's about time ! but let me tell you something : I won't lose any more of them. You have fallen into my trap of innocence and tought I was too nice and sweet to fight with all I've got. And let me tell you something else. She said with an evil grin. You are going down ! I play Sun Warrior (2100/1400) in attack mode ! »
« Sun Warrior ? ! ? he shouted. I've never seen this one before. »
« That's my ultra rare card I was talking about. » said Thomas.
« Damn it ! the only thing I can play is Koumori Dragon (1500/1400) in defense mode. »
« Ha ha ! trying to buy time by putting your monsters in defense mode, huh ? Well see my Sun Warrior destroys your silly Dragon ! » she laugh.
« Just you wait 'til I get the card I want ! » he said as he drow another card. He took a look at his card. « The Electric Lizard... another useless monster ! he thought. But wait ! The Electric Lizard Paralyzes the monster who destroys it. If she attacks it with her Sun Warrior, it will be paralyzed for a turn and it will buy me some time ! » A smile, appeared on his face, and he made his move:
« I play Electric Lizard (850/800) in defense mode ! Your turn. »
« Ok... I see you haven't got much powerful monsters left. She said with pity as she drow a card. For my move, I play Command Knight (1200/1900) in attack mode and attack your silly Lizard. My monster is paralysed by the effect of your card but my Sun Warrior is still in game ! »
« NO ! my strategie didn't work ! if I don't pull out the card I want, I'm finished ! » he cried as his hand headed for his deck. He pulled a card, not daring to look. He finally opened his eyes. « Cool ! ! ! I can't beleive it ! I drow my most powerful card ! he shouted in joy. Lets see how you do face to this : I play Summoned Skull (2500/1200) in attack mode ! Go Skull ! attack her Sun Warrior, NOW ! ! ! »
« Oh my god ! said Yumi in a sarcastic way. I wonder how much time my poor Sun Warrior will stand against him ! » She then started to laugh. « Enough playing ! Before I send my Warrior to the graveyard, I want you to know that when the Sun Warrior fight with a demon type monster, it gains 500 attack points. »
« What ? ! ? »
« Brillant ! » shouted Yugi.
« Plus, you should also know that Commander Knight has a special effect on Warrior type monster : it gives them 500 more attack points too. So lets count ! 500+500=1000 additionnal attack points. That brings my Sun Warrior's attack points to 3100/1400. Who loses Life points now, moron ? »
« NOOOoooo... » yelled Brian. « My very best monster... gone ! like that ! It can't be ! ! ! »
« ...and don't think about destroying my Knight 'cause as long as there's other monster on my field, you can't attack it ! » she added with an evil laugh.
« I...I...give up... » he replied in shock.
A deep silence fell on the group then everybody started claping their hand together. Nobody could beleive their eyes. There were no way Brian could have lost to a beginner. Not like that ! It was a total humiliation... Yumi stood up, packed up Thomas' deck and gave it back to him. She was back to normal. Her eyes were full of kindness and joy and her smile was soft and gentle. Thomas thank her and ran off to tell everyone about Brian's defeat followed by Tristan and Thea and the other girl. Yumi turned back at Brian and her cold look came back.
--+++++-- « You are a discrease to Magic & Wizards. For spoiling this wonderful game, you shall pay the ultimate prize !» she coldly said as Brian started to see a black shadow behind her.
The shadow grow bigger until it circle him. He was hot and had difficulties with breathing normally. Soon, a horrible pain went through his brain like an electric shock. He fell on the ground like a bag of potato. His eyes were empty.
« You will never be able to play any game anymore because even if eventually you wake up, the world will not be the same. » --+++++--
Everybody rushed to Brian to help him get up. Brian was known for being though and everybody was suprised to see him faint like that, including Yumi. She rushed to him with the others but soon she aslo felt funny so she walked away followed by Zakaresh.
Yugi, then realized that something was wrong. He decided to ask Joey about it.
« Do you have any idea of what just happenned ? » he asked him.
« Yeah ! That big bully just got beaten by Roshi Yumi ! »he answered.
« No, I mean the way she was acting. She scared me a little ! »
« What are you talking about ? ! he answered, suprised. She was acting totally normal, dude. She was almost looking like an innocent child ! »
« But... the way she laugh. It was almost evil ! And... »
« Wait a sec, Yug. Are we talking about the same Yumi ? »
« I'm not sure... » he answered thoughful.
Later that day, everybody talked about the humilating defeat Brian had suffered. Yumi has become famous because of her duel with him. But also, people talked about him in the hospital. He haven't woken up yet. Some people even said he was in the coma ! Yugi was still not sure of what he had seen. It seems that he was the only one who noticed Yumi's change of personnality. At least, that's how Yugi called it. He was thinking that maybe Zakaresh would have noticed something but he didn't dare to go talk to him. Joey said he was crazy about Yumi. Did Zakaresh think he was trying to put a move on her ? He saw this as the best explanation so he decided not to see Yumi anymore. Luckly for him, he didn't see her for the rest of the day. After school, he went back home.
« Grandpa ! I'm home ! he shouted entrering the shop. How was your day ? »
« Hi Yugi ! What are you doing here ? » said Yumi.
« Gyaaaa ! ! ! Yumi ! What are you doing here ! ? ! » yelled Yugi, jumping back.
« Great ! said Grandpa. Yugi, I was waiting for you. This is Yumi Roshi and she's gonna work here for a while. Isn't it cool ? »
« Yeah... sure. Great ! » he replied with a false enthousiasm. « I'm happy I can work here, Yugi. She said with a smile. Here ! » she add, taking a piece of paper and writing something on it. « This is my phone number. If you need me, call me anytime ! Bye Mr. Muto ! See you tomorrow, Yugi ! »
She ran out of the store. Yugi blank his eyes a few times, after several minutes, he realized Yumi's number was still in his hand. He blushed thinking about how he looked : staring at a closed door with a girl's phone number in hand. He shook his head and turned to his grand father. Grandpa was looking at him with a little smile.
« What ? » asked Yugi.
« Oh..... no, nothing... » he replied turn back to the backstore. Then he started singing for himself.
« Yugi and Yumi, sitting in a tree... »
« Grandpa ! ! ! » shouted Yugi, blushing even more.
He started chasing him around the store while Grandpa continue singing the little song...
That night, at Yumi's house, a door openned on a curious chamber. It looked like a kind of library because all the wall were covered by tons of old book. Their tittle have been erased with time but the knowledge inside was still untouched. The presence slide in the shadows of the library. It was moving so fast that it couldn't be seen. The presence got to a specific rack. It picked up a specific book and opened it. A glowing mist was covering the white pages as if it was a new book. It looked at the page for a while and started resiting some strange incantations :
« May my Name be restitute to the grand temple of the Other Side ! May I keep the memory of my Name, In the middle of the high defense walls of the Inferior World, When comes the night where the years and the months will be counted. 1 Let me remember... »
Yumi woke up in a sweat. She looked around her but didn't heard anything. When she closed her eyes... the voice started again ! She got up and went in the other room next to her's. The presence kept singing the phrases all night. She did some strange dreams that night, where she was a queen of the nil in Egypt. She was the wife of a young pharaon. She also knew it was a very hard era for Egypt. Monsters were everywhere ! They each had a master which give them order to attack or defend. She remembered to be next to one of these master. It was the young pharaon. When she was affraid, she would get closer to him and he would say rassuring things and made her beleive in the monsters and in herself. That made her fell better... but not for long as a big hole opened under the young boy's feets and as he falled in, hoping in despears that his love would grab his hand and save him. But his wife was not moving, paralysed by her fears and by the seek of her love going away from her without being able to do anything. Soon, the young boy was only an image in the girl's mind. But now, this image has tangled and she could no longer reconnize the pharaon as the memory flew away with time and as the pain was still very fresh. Yumi didn't slept well that night and did horrible nightmare like that. Always with ancient Egypt and the pharaon she could no longer reconize. It was all a big mystery.
The next day was a hot Saturday of summer. Yugi, as usual, helped his grandpa open the store. He was still mad at his grandpa for making fun of him. For himself, Yugi had a long dicussion with his other self, last night.
« I don't know how to explain it ! One moment she's nice and the next, she's acting so...mean ! » Yugi said.
« We most find out what's going on with that girl. Plus, the way she was duelling, it looked familiar. » replied Yami.
« You think you know her ? » Yugi asked. « That would explain the fact I'm feeling like know her too. »
« I'm sure of nothing for the moment. We have to find out for ourself. »
« That won't be difficult ! she's gonna work at my grandpa's toy store for a while. »
« Perfect. We have to get close to her...»
« I don't think this would be such a good idea...»
« Why not ? »
« Because... there is this boy with her... Joey thinks he's in love with her. I don't want him to think I want to put a move on her ! »
« oh... I see. » answered Yami, «Is she that cute ? »
« Of coarse she is...» replied Yugi. «What ? what I am saying ! ? ! »
« Hehehe... » laughed Yami.
« This isn't funny ! »
« I just though of something. What if she had a millenium item ? that would explain it all ! » said the ancient king.
« Are you serious ? a millenium item ? what item could it be. I didn't see anything. The only things she wears is a pair of earing and a necklace with a purple stone and a ring on it. »
« It could be a millenium ring... oh no... Bakura has this one. » he remembered. So maybe it was the millenium earing. Did they looked ancients ? »
« Come to think of it, yes they do ! They look like earings wore by the queens of the nil in ancient Egypt. » replied Yugi.
« Then it's settle ! we have to investigate on her ! »
The millenium items. Yugi knew the items were very mysterious and have magical powers. Still he didn't know what were all the items. The only thing he was sure of was that a millenium item in the wrong hands could be dangerous.
« This is ridiculous ! How can Yumi have got an item ? Sometimes, my other self says the weirdest things. » he said to himself.
« Yugi ! yelled Grandpa from the back store. Can you call Yumi and tell her to come and help ? »
« Why grandpa ? » asked Yugi, suspecting a joke from his grand father.
« We have to prepare the mega sell of next week. I need help to decorate the place. She's a girl, no ? Girls have the touch with decoration. » he answered.
« ok... » replied Yugi.
He took the phone but freezed. What was he thinking ? he couldn't call her like that... like if he was calling Joey or Thea ! He had to prepare somehow. What if he wakes her up ? He didn't really had a choice ! He picked up the phone and composed Yumi's number. It rang a few times then someone picked up the phone.
« Hello ? Zakaresh speaking. » Said the voice in the telephone.
« Zakaresh ! ? ! » shouted Yugi.
« Yugi ! ? ! » shouted Zakaresh. « What the... ! »
But the voice was shut cut as Yugi heard a new voice on the line.
« Yugi ! said Yumi. How's it going ? »
« hummm... fine ! And you ? » he replied.
« I'm doing great, thank you. So ?What can I do for you ? »
« Err... oh yeah ! My grandpa would like you to come at the store and help him out with the decoration. That is, if you don't have anything else in plan. It would be your first job. » quickly said Yugi.
« It would be great ! I haven't got anything today. I'm all yours ! » she replied.
« What ? ! ? » Yugi heard Zakaresh yelled. « HIS ? ! ? »
« Anyway ! said Yumi. I'll be there in ten minutes. See you later, Yugi ! »
Both hang up. Yugi stayed quiet for a while. He then took a deep breath.
«... this isn't gonna be pretty on Monday... » he whispered.
To be continued.
