Dark Magician Girl: *giggles* We don't own Yu-gi-oh!! *turns to
authoress* Will you make him stop running away now??
Slink: *nods* Yup!!
Chaos: *blinks* WHAAAT?!?!?!?!?!? *tries to run away* *is frozen to the floor* AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEE??? I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME!!!
Slink: *blinks* You're right!! *glomps* *glares at DMG* MY Chaos!!
And there's a joke on the Summoned Skull's name, too!! It came from my idea that he sounds like he's gargling. I guess I don't own it - it must be copyrighted or something.

Molly Jean: Yeah, this'll get complicated all right. In a couple chapters...you won't BELIEVE who turns up. That'll be occuring at ABOUT the same time as the ending for 'Daughter of Anubis.' (which won't happen for a long time.) Yugi turns up...you've read 'The Sound of Silence', so you should understand what's happening. Yugi, Mokuba, and Isis are in the Shadow Realm, while their bodies are pretty much dead. :P Confusing, ne?
Sento-Kami: Wow, you have a LOT of multiple identities!! *grin grin* Me, I think I have only one personality, then a kind of 'mask' that I never take off. I seem like two totally different people, because most of the time I'm only pretending to be nice!! *snorts* These mortals are so foolish...
Kage NoTenshi: When I write my bashing fic (which will probably never happen) I'll put in a bit about fangirls dropping in out of nowhere and attaching themselves to the bishounen... *giggle* Actually, at first I had this urge to call the DMG 'Mary Sue.' Don't know why, though. *whistles innocently* I just don't like her. *gasp* You're rooting for Miles??? Bad. Very bad. You KNOW Chaos will win, but then this is for fun, so it doesn't matter.
Lunar Heart: Heck, Chaos is hot anyway... ^^;; The Dark Magician is cool, I agree. Though personally the Red Dark Magician (Pandora's) seemed to have more of a personality. And the reason Chaos and Miles are having this sort of mock-battle is because the DMG is following MY Chaos Mage around and generally being annoying. The Dark Magician Girl (at least this one) doesn't like violence, so it's Chaos' reasoning that she'll leave him alone and he can sneak away after.

Dragon Shadows - Chapter Eight
As expected, Miles immediately brought his staff up and swept it down towards the mage. Chaos nimbly spun aside, then whirled around and brought his staff down towards Miles' unprotected back. However, its descent was stopped as it hit the warrior's staff. He'd been able to bring it back up in time.
Miles tried to force Chaos back using his superior strength, then knocked him forwards, stepping out of the way as he staggered. But then, when he was almost to the ground, he sprang up again, catlike, and forced Miles back with a rain of quick blows. The dull clack as the staves hit each other echoed through the courtyard. Miles was better than Chaos had thought he would be - though his technique was somewhat slow, he was still able to repel any attack with brute force. A way around it, then.
Chaos struck forward again, subtly working his way to the side, until he was nearly out of the other's line of vision. Miles realized what he was doing and only barely managed to block his attack. Chaos danced back, whirling his staff in front of him like a shield.
Miles lunged forward at the right moment, locking their staffs together. Chaos parried out of instinct, then pulled his staff back and to the side, forcing Miles' weapon downwards. Then he used the technique Sinistrad had used on him, sweeping the long, slender pole around and down, knocking his knees out from under him and bringing him to the ground. He slammed the end of his staff into the dusty earth inches from his opponent's neck, symbolizing his victory.
Miles got to his feet, wiping his face. "Well fought, my friend." They clasped hands briefly, then both backed away. Chaos scanned the courtyard quickly - good. There was no sign of Elanor.
He let his hands fall to his sides, then leaned against one of the castle's stone walls. Well, then, Sinistrad had been right. Speed gave more of an advantage to a fighter than mere brute force.
The mage now had a reprieve from the incessant attentions of that young sorceress. Maybe Sinistrad had taken her to task, finally.
*****
Chaos had guard duty on the east tower from midnight to dawn. It was uneventful, for the most part. He just stood there on the battlements, leaning on his staff, watching the slow rise of the Shadow Realm's small, red sun.
That is, he thought it was uneventful. Then he noticed the dim light glinting off a red, scaly, long, huge, SOMETHING. The SOMETHING was wrapped around the entire fortress twice - no, three times!
For a moment he just stood there, shocked. Then he heard cries from Scope, the Summoned Skull, guard on the north tower, Loki, on the west tower, and Chu, on the south tower. Gaia, who once again had gate duty, sprinted for the castle itself.
In moments Sinistrad was on the wall, followed closely by Elanor. The Dark Magician stared at the SOMETHING open-mouthed. "What in the name of Ra is this monstrosity?"
Surprisingly enough, Elanor chose that moment to speak up. "Don't worry," she said. "I don't think it will harm us."
Sinistrad finally closed his mouth. "What is it then?" he said, trying to retain his calm front.
"It's Osiris himself, if you must know."
The two magicians stared at her, slack-jawed.
She choked back a giggle. "Really. It's not that big a deal. The pharaoh must have won his last duel."
"But - but it's one of the three gods!" protested Chaos. "This can't be!!"
"Oh, yes, it can!" She smiled coyly. "Ask the Busterblader. He saw it all. I was only there part of the time."
Then the mass of blood-red scales around the fortress moved. Wait. Blood- red. Why, oh why did he have to make that particular comparison? He dimly saw the massive head of the dragon rear up.
Feeling nauseous, Chaos was relieved when his vision went black.

Chaos: Are you going to make a habit of this??
Slink: Yes. No. Maybe. ^o^ It's fun to make you suffer.
Chaos: So blood makes me nauseous.
Slink: Yes.
Chaos: And let me guess...there's going to be a lot of blood in this story because you happen to like it.
Slink: Yes.
Chaos: ... ... ... Dear Ra ... ... ... *faints*
Slink: I had this sudden urge to make the staff-fighting situation much more dangerous, but these are Duel Monsters - I don't want to kill them!! I think it's because in my OWN world, my OWN story, there's these two characters who have this duel to the death on top of the wall of a tower (about five hundred feet off the ground). And it's basically to the death. And it's very, veddy veddy dangerous. *grin* Review!!
