Author: Les, why would I want to put goat-boy in my story? Awe… I guess I could pull some strings.

Yugi: Is he really a goat boy? Like with horns and fur and stuff?

Seto: *fear in eyes* Will he eat my coat?

Author: No and No.

Yami: Then who is he?

Author: He's a normal human that makes a scary noise… *Les comes out and 'mawhawes'* like that.

Everyone: Oh.

Serenity: Why was our story dropped?

Author: Cause I was sick of it and wanted an update. Besides I think everyone else was bored too. Sorry guys; you'll come back latta *mumbles* much. No, don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but I do own Goki, Ananda and Goki's and Ananda's decks. I own the magic cards 'Flame, 'World of Shadows' and I own the monster cards Corascoler', 'Arigato', 'Goral Magadi', and I own the trap card 'Pallor of Fear'.

Chapter Twelve: What was Chosen to be Forgotten

"Duel." Goki growled. "You can go first."

"Alright." Yami and Goki drew five cards and Yami drew an extra one. 'Hmm, I can start with this.' He selected a card from his hand and played it on the table. A miniature 'Curse of Dragon' appeared on the field. "I play 'Curse of Dragon' in attack mode and a trap or magic card. End my turn." He smirked.

"My turn!" Goki cried. "I play one magic or trap card and on monster in defense mode. End my turn."

"Even a child know you never start with a creature in defense mode!" Yami cried. "'Curse of Dragon' attack the card in defense mode!" a miniature stream of fire poured from the dragon's mouth, burning the 'Sorcerer of the Doomed' card Goki played. "End my turn."

"Er…" Goki mumbled, drawing a card from his deck and, upon seeing it, grinned maliciously. "Say good-night, 'Curse of Dragon'!" he played a trap card on the field. "'Dragon Capture Jar' to stop 'Curse of Dragon', then I play 'Ryu-Kishin Powered'! Attack the dragon!"

"Er…" Yami moaned as 'Ryu-Kishin Powered' ripped through 'Curse of Dragon'. He picked a new card, then looked at the field. "I play 'Gaia The Fierce Knight' in attack mode! Attack 'Ryu-Kishin Powered'!" (life points: Goki: 7300 Yami: 8000)

"Blast." Goki swore as his card was wiped out by the knight. He drew a card. "I play 'Ultimate Offering' to set two monsters in defense position!" (Goki: 6800 Yami: 8000). "End my turn."

"I play one card in defense mode, and attack the card on the right with 'Gaia'!"

"Ah ha! You've walked, er, ran, right into my trap!" he flipped over a card. "'Enchanted Javelin'! My life points go up 2300!" (Goki: 9100 Yami: 8000) His card, 'Ansatsu', went to the graveyard.

"You should save that card for later, when you need more life points." Yami reproved him.

"Don't tell me how to duel!"

"Okay, sorry. To finish my turn, I play a magic or trap card."

"My turn!" he drew a card. "I play 'Corascoler' (2800/3200) in attack mode and attack 'Gaia'!" Gaia was destroyed in an instant.

"'Corascoler'?!" Yami cried.

"Yes, my ultimate monster! 'Corascoler' has never been defeated! You can go."

"Fine." He drew a card. ''Dark Magician'! Great! That with 'Book of Secret Arts' and 'Yami',' he laughed at the irony. 'and 'Reinforcements' if I need it should defeat that card!"

"I play the 'Dark Magician', in attack mode, and activate my field magic card, 'Yami' to raise 'Dark Magician's' attack up to 2700, plus 'Book of Secret Arts' to raise its attack all the way up to 3000! Go, dark magic attack!"

"Nice try, Yami. That activates my trap card, 'Flame'. It removes 400 attack points from any creature…"

"Activating my trap card, 'Reinforcements' raising it to 3100!"

"Grr…"

"Now, dark magic attack!" Corascoler was defeated. (Goki 8800, Yami 8000) 'That was too easy.' Yami thought.

"Well, since that is gone, I'll just have to resort to more… appropriate measures. I play my other ultimate creature, 'Arigato' (3200/1200) in attack mode!" a large, red fairy arose from the card. I attack the 'Dark Magician'!"

"You forgot about 'Yami'! It raises spell caster and fiend type monsters attack and defense, but lowers fairies by 200! ('Arigato': 3000/1000) so my magician withstands your attack and you loose 100 life points!" (Goki: 8700 Yami: 8000)

"Fine, you go." Goki shrugged indifferently.

"I attack 'Arigato' with the 'Dark Magician'…"

"…Activating my trap card, 'Raised'! With this card I can raise a card from my graveyard and add it's attack and defense points to the card I played on the field!" 'Corascoler' arose from the graveyard and became energy, added to 'Arigato' (6000/4400) "Of course I have to loose 200 each for 'Yami', but it's still invincible!" (5800/4200)

"What!?" Yami cried. 'I cannot beat a creature like that!' "It's still my turn and I put the Dark Magician in defense mode…"

"…Activating my trap card, 'Pallor of Fear', forcing all monsters into attack mode, frozen."

"No!"

"And I attack 'Dark Magician' with 'Arigato'!"

"You fell for my bluff! You've activated my trap card, 'Spellbinding Circle'. Your 'Arigato' looses half its attack and defense points. My turn! I attack 'Arigato' with 'Dark Magician'." 'I almost forgot about that trap! I have to get my head more in the game.' He thought.

"Go, Yami!" Ananda cried from the cage.

"'Arigato' is destroyed." Yami said, satisfied. (Goki: 8500 Yami: 8000) "Well, Goki, nothing seems to be happening to me, while you are loosing life points like mad…"

"Grr…" Goki drew a card and looked at it, grinning maliciously. "I play 'Dying Day'. This magic card rids the opponent of the number of life points lost in the last exchange, and also the total attack points of one of the opponent's monsters!"

"Grr…" Yami said, angry. (Goki: 8500 Yami: 4700)

"Looks like you spoke to soon."

Yami drew a card and looked down at it, brow furrowed.

"Ah, Yami-boy, found one of the new cards in your deck?" Pegasus asked from the side.

"Yes. Thanks for changing my deck. I play the 'Type Zero Magic Crusher' and discard four magic cards from my hand, so you loose 2000 points. And, this is continuous." (Goki: 6500 Yami: 4700)

"Pegasus! You weren't supposed to help him!" Goki cried. He drew a card. "I play 'Goral Magadi' in defense mode. (400/1000) and end my turn."

"I discard another magic card, and I attack… no, I play 'Celtic Guardian' (1400/1200) (A/N *author smiles*) in attack mode and attack 'Goral Magadi'! Then I attack directly with 'Dark Magician'" (Goki: 2900 Yami: 4700)

"Ha! I activate my favorite magic card, 'World of Shadows'! I get to destroy the monster with the weakest attack on your field!"

"Don't have a monster card, eh?" Yami asked, smirking. (Goki: 2900 Yami: 3500)

"That's no business of yours!"

"Well, I direct attack you with 'Dark Magician', winning the duel." (Goki: 0 Yami: 4700)

"Yeah, Yami!" Ananda cried.

"You won't be rejoicing if you're dead!" Goki cried, opening the Shadow Realm and freezing Yami's powers.

"Not over my dead body!" Ananda cried, and a bright light filled the room, that looked vaguely like 'Gyakutenno Megami'.

^^^^^^^^ Back in Yami's Room ^^^^^^^^^

"Yami, Yami, are you alright?" Ananda cried, holding Yami's head in her hands. His eyes slowly flicked open, and he stared into her amber eyes for a few seconds before they came into focus.

"Smart to play the fairy that protects the weak and gives spirit, Ananda." He choked out.

"You know I have a deck of fairies and such." Ananda said, blushing. Yami struggled to sit up, but fell back.

"I have the worst damn headache ever right now."

"I knew I shoulda summoned 'Doma'." Ananda joked.

"You have 'Doma'? I thought your name meant joy." Yami joked. Ananda blushed and looked away.

"That was then, Yami. A long, long time ago I was called Ananda for my joy." Tears filled her amber eyes. "Now I am more sorrowful and sober."

"Tell me, in this newfound hate of joy, did you disown Gaudier?"

"No, I never could. And I don't hate joy, I just decided only a child is always joyful and that I needed to accept my stature."

"You must have broken many hearts." Yami said sadly.

"I am proud of who I am!" Ananda said strongly. "Now, come on Yami, get up. You need your sleep."
