Chapter Two
"Mom! I'm home!" Kana yelled as she kicked off her shoes, almost hitting Rukia, her black and white 9 month old kitten. "Ah! Sorry there Rukia! I didn't mean to hit you!"
"Merow" was all Rukia said, and scampered off to find some dust particle to play with.
"I'll take that you have forgiven me then," and she walked to the living room, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV. She didn't really want to do her homework, she usually got bored of it before she could start, which was sad. She was in the top 25% of her class, which wasn't bad, considering that her older brother dropped out of High School, and her mother wasn't the best in school either. Kana didn't really care how poorly the rest of her family did; she just tried to keep her grades up high enough to pass. Flipping threw a few channels; she got bored of the crap that was there. So instead of going to sleep she picked up her Japanese Book to read. **God I hate Japanese class, she thought to herself.** Her eyes drifted to her English as a Second Language book that fell out of her bag, **I take that back, I hate English more so.** She sighed, put on her headphones, and turned on her CD player, which had her Outlaw Star CD in, and listened to "Through the Night", one of her more favorite songs from an Anime. While half way in her book, Kana heard the phone ring and threw her headphones off. She just looked at the answering machine, waiting for it to pick up. She didn't want to get up to get the phone, unless of course it was important, so she sat on the couch, and put her player on pause. Finally the machine picked up.
"Hi, you've reached the Motokos, sorry none of us are home to pick up the phone, so leave a message," her mother's annoying voice came up for her to hear.
"Hey Kana, it's Yugi. Um.When you get the chance, call me back. I wanna apologize for what happened after school. So yeah." Yugi didn't get to finish when he was cut off by Kana grabbing the phone.
"Hey Yug! Sorry I didn't pick up the phone, I was just being lazy again, and wanted to see who it was."
"Oh, it's ok." there was an awkward pause before he started talking again, "Listen, Kana, I just wanted to say I was sorry. I know we all had plans to go to the video arcade, but my grandpa got some new cards in, and Joey and I wanted to see what they were before someone else got them."
"It's ok. I understand. No biggie." There was another awkward silence again. Kana thought that she could have heard an older man's voice say 'Ask her Yugi', but decided she was only imagining it.
"Well, I just wanted to say that since I felt bad and all. So I'll be going now."
"Ok, see you at school tomorrow then?"
"Yeah, tomorrow." Click. The phone went dead on the other dead. Kana hung up her phone, and sat back down on the couch.
"That was odd.It was almost as if Yugi was.not himself on the other end. Maybe I was just imagined it. Just like that voice I heard. I think I am losing it. I'm gonna take that nap now." Laying down on the couch, Rukia jumped up on Kana's chest and just laid there. "Hi again Rukia." and she closed her eyes, falling asleep to the sound of Rukia's purring.
-----------------------------------------------------
**"So, why didn't you tell her?"** Yami poked in Yugi's mind.
"I can't. I don't want her to say that she hates me, runs off, and never talks to me again!"
**"I think you've been watching too many Chick flicks, Yugi. She won't do that. The worse that could possibly happen is that she says she doesn't like you."**
"That would be worse." Yugi sighed. "Maybe I should just give up and not bother. I mean, she probably likes someone else.Like Kaiba."
**"I don't think she likes Kaiba. You heard what she said to him today after school. Why give up? When have you ever given up a battle Yugi? Never, without a good reason to, that I've known you. So why give up now? Life is like Duel Monsters Yugi,"** Yugi looked up a bit, now looking at the wall, **"Yes it is. In Duel Monsters you have to learn what Magic and Trap cards to play and when. Same with this. You must learn to play the right cards at the right moment so your Life Points are not destroyed. But of course, there will always be those who don't play by the rules, and cheat. And those, like you now, who are too afraid to play the card to win the game. I've know you to take some good chances while playing Duel Monsters, so why not take one now?"**
"Maybe you're right, maybe I should. I'm still gonna ask Tea tomorrow for help."
**"That's the way to go. Don't be afraid, take chances."**
--------------------------------------------------------
The next day at school, Yugi sat at his desk, talking to Tea about what to do, "I thought you liked her. Well, it is a good thing you listened to Yami. And yes, I'll help you out! You're my friends, Yugi, why wouldn't I help you?"
"I dunno, I guess I was afraid you were gonna make fun of me or something."
"Naw! That's only Joey you gotta worry about!" She smiled and pointed to Joey who was getting his butt creamed by a kid playing Dueling Monsters with him. 'Second at Duelist Kingdom, and 4th at Battle City, and yet I'm STILL creaming you!' 'Aw! Cram it kid and play! I don't need to hear this stuff! I'm a great duelist!' 'Yeah, that's why my grandma could beat you with her hands tied behind her back!' 'What did you say you little punk!' was all everyone could hear in the room.
"Yugi! Tea! Hiya!" Kana said as she strolled into the classroom.
"Hey Kana," Yugi and Tea replayed back.
"So, what's up guys? Ready for that Japanese test today? Im not, I feel asleep before I could finish the book!" Kana said sounding disappointed.
"I didn't really read it. I was busy.." Yugi paused, "With other things."
Tea looked about as disappointed as Kana did, "Same, except I just got sick of it and put it away."
Turning around, Yugi saw Seto Kaiba walk in the classroom, "Ya know, sometimes I wish he was never in our class."
"Same here," the girls chimed in at the same time.
Seto walked over by them, "Look, its Yugi Motou, and his loser friends."
"Watch what you say Kaiba!" Tea threatened.
"Why? You gonna try to challenge me to a duel?"
"Well." Tea turned pink, knowing that Seto would cream her butt if she even thought of it.
"Just as I thought, a wimp." he looked over at Kana, "And another one to make a pair."
"Kaiba, shut your mouth now, you low life creep!"
Everyone in the room, even Joey and his dueling partner, became quiet and looked at Kana, "What did you say?" Seto's horse voice sounding more evil by the word.
"You heard me! You shut your mouth! I'm sick of the way you've been treating my friends! Learn some manners!" Kana yelled at him. "If you refuse, then I challenge you to a duel, Seto Kaiba!"
Seto looked into her eyes, seeing that she was not joking around and had no plans to back down he smiled cruelly at her, "Fine! I accept your challenge then. Meet me after school, and I'll have the Dueling Disks ready." he turned on his heel, ready to leave when he heard Kana speak words he never wanted to hear again.
"Who ever said it was gonna be Duel Monsters? Since I challenged you, I pick the duel, and I'm saying it's gonna be a one-on-one, fist to fist fight! I know you duel Seto, I wanna see if your fist can back up all those harsh words you throw out, not by hiding behind your monsters!" He turned around to look at her again and saw the fire in her eyes, "You've messed with my friends for the last time Seto, and I will not allow it any longer!"
"Fine then, I accept your duel. Just name the time and place."
"Fine! Tomorrow, 5 P.M., the empty lot next to the football field."
"I'll be there."
"Don't be late. I won't accept it!"
"Oh, I won't!" And with that he turned around, took his seat just as the teacher walked in.
"I hope everyone is ready for your Japanese test today." and he passed out the papers to all the students.
