Chapter 2: Rivalry
"My first monster will be Kuribo!" Yami shouted. A small brown furry monster appeared.
"Wow!" Mahado said, in awe.
"That little fur ball doesn't stand a chance against my monster! Saggi the dark clown!" Seto shouted, and a large purple clown appeared in front of Seto. "Okay Saggi attack Yami's Kuribo!" Seto ordered.
"Kuribo no!" Yami yelled as the Kuribo was destroyed.
"This is to much!" Ishizu thought. "I must stop them! I'll go to the queen!" Ishizu started to run as fast as she could down the dark sandy path.
"Hey, where is Ishizu going?" Karim asked.
"I don't care." Shadi said emotionlessly, not taking his eyes off of the duel.
"You are going to pay for hurting my Kuribo! Go One-eyed shield dragon!" Yami called and the green dragon appeared. "Now dragon attack Seto's terrible clown!"
"Yami!" Seto yelled as his clown was destroyed. "Okay, Yami, now I call the Niwatori chicken!" A fat chicken appeared on the field. "Now, my beast, attack Yami's dragon!"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Ishizu ran down the path all the way to the gate of the palace. She was so tired by the time she got to the palace, but she knew that the duel must be stopped.
"Help!" Ishizu cried. The two guards who were stationed at the gate turned around.
"What is it girl?" They asked.
"I need to speak to the queen...it's an emergency!"
The guard raised an eyebrow.
"Please," she begged, her eyes shining.
"Alright. This way please." One guard said.
The guard opened the gate and motioned for Ishizu to follow him. The guard and Ishizu walked up to the queen's bedroom.
"Your highness this girl has something important to tell you." The guard said with a bow.
"Alright let her in." The queen said. Ishizu shakily walked into the queen's bedroom.
"I'm sorry to bother you your highness." Ishizu said.
"That's alright, but what did you want to tell me?"
"Well..." Ishizu started. "Yami and Seto are out dueling by their grandfathers tomb!" Ishizu blurted out. The queen froze. Then she started to run down the hall to the Pharaoh.
"Yami what are you thinking?" She asked herself as she ran. The queen almost banged into Seto's mother but was able to stop herself.
"Is something wrong your highness?" She asked.
"Oh...uh...the boys are out dueling! I must go!" The queen shouted and began running again.
"What? Seto's mother asked and began running after the queen.
The two women got to the room that the king was and the queen walked into the room. Seto's mother however stayed out side of the room.
"Darling?" The queen asked.
"Yes what's wrong?" The Pharaoh asked.
"Well the Ishizu the daughter of one of the nobles has reported to me that Seto and Yami are shadow dueling by their grandfather's tomb." She explained. The king looked shocked.
"Guards!" He yelled. The guards came rushing in.
"Yes your highness?" The guards asked.
"Seto and Yami are dueling by my grandfather's tomb please stop the duel and bring them here." Pharaoh Akunumakanon said.
"Yes sir!" The guards said and rushed out of the palace. The queen began to worry about what if the guards didn't make it in time to stop the duel before it ended? What if one of the boys went to the shadow realm?
"Don't worry, dear everything will be fine." Akunumakanon said. The queen fainted. The Pharaoh grabbed his wife as she was falling.
"Maids!" Akunumakanon yelled.
"Yes your highness?" The maids asked.
"Take her and wake her up." The Pharaoh ordered.
"Yes sir!" The Pharaoh began to walk out into the hall where he found Seto's mother who had also fainted.
"Maids take her too!"
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back at the duel Yami and Seto had taken turns destroying each other's monsters.
"This is boring!" Seto said. "I want to do something fun with this duel!"
"And that is?" Yami asked.
"I don't know." Seto said. At the corner of the pyramid a boy who had never seen a duel before was watching everything. I want the power of the shadow duels. The boy thought. I want to be as powerful as the Pharaoh. The boy grinned evilly.
"Alright Yami it's your turn are you going to summon a monster?" Seto asked.
"Um...err..." Yami started. I don't know any other monsters names! Yami thought.
"Alright Yami here goes go attack Yami directly send him to the..." Seto started but was cut off by the guards would had arrived.
"Stop! Right now call off your attack, Seto! These are the Pharaoh's orders." The guards yelled.
"Drat! Stop!" Seto yelled. Mahado, Karim, and Shadi started to run away.
"You four stop!" The guards yelled and ran over to the corner of the pyramid. "Alright you four are going to come explain yourselves to the pharaoh.
"Four?" Mahado asked then he looked behind him Bakura was standing there as well as Karim and Shadi.
"Where did you come from?" Shadi demanded.
Bakura shrugged. "I don't know but I do know that I am Bakura."
"So Bakura what did you think of that duel?" Karim asked.
"It was great." Bakura replied as they followed the gaurds.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
When the guards and the kids got to the palace they went straight to the Pharaoh.
"Your highness we brought you your son and nephew and these four were watching the duel." A guard said pointing to Karim, Shadi, Mahado, and Bakura.
"Alright you four will be send home and your parents will be told about what you have been doing." Akunumakanon said.
"I will escort them home, your highness." A guard said. "Now where do you live?" He asked Bakura.
"Well I guess tonight I'll live in the papyrus stalks." Bakura said.
"You have no family?" The guard asked.
"No." Bakura replied.
"Just take him where he says." Akunumakanon told his guard.
"Yes sir."
"Oh and please take Ishizu home as well tell her parents about the wonderful thing she did." The queen said. Ishizu, Karim, Mahado, Shadi, and Bakura were all taken home.
"And you two I can not believe that you would go out, beyond the gate at night and then go off shadow dueling! Why did you do this?" The Pharaoh asked. Seto looked away and did not answer.
"You see father Seto and I well...we...uh..." Yami stopped to think. "I did this because I wanted to prove that I was good at shadow dueling."
"You are good at it but you really shouldn't duel until you are older. Now I want you two to go upstairs and go to bed. And from now on if you two ever do anything like this again I'm afraid I will have to give punishments." Akunumakanon said.
"C'mon Yami I will tuck you in." The queen said.
"Yes Seto come with me." Seto's mother said.
The four walked upstairs and Yami and the queen walked into Yami's room and Seto and his mother walked into Seto's room.
"Mother?" Yami asked.
"Yes?"
"I think that Seto's thinks just because he is older than I am that he can boss me around and I think that he thinks he's better than I am." Yami said.
"I understand Yami. And you are probably right." The queen said trying to comfort Yami.
"I wish that Seto would just be nicer to me."
"I understand, but know it is time for you to go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning." The queen said and blew out the candle.
* * * * * * * * * * *
In Seto's room he and his mother were also talking.
"Yami thinks just because he's the pharaoh's son he can do whatever he wants!" Seto yelled. "And everyone knows that my father should have become pharaoh."
"Well I wish that were so, but since Yami's father was older he got to become pharaoh." Seto's mother said.
"And where is father? Why did he just leave us here? When will he come back?" Seto asked.
"I..." She said then paused. "I'm sorry but I can't answer any of your questions because I do not know."
"Mother..." Seto started but was cut off by his mother.
"Let's just wait and see what is going to happen in our future. Good night Seto."
Seto's mother said and walked out of Seto's room.
In the hall the two mothers walked silently back down stairs each of them thinking the same thing: Why can't Yami and Seto get along? Why won't they just stop trying to beat each other?
