Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or Sailor Moon! Yeah! That's right! I
said it!
I decided to try something new and so this chapter shall be from Mina's point of view!
_________________________________________________________________________
As I dueled short stack Weevil Underwood, I couldn't stop thinking about that ninja. I mean, was he really sent by Marik to kill the inner scouts just to get to Serena? I'm glad she's with the others and safe in Kaiba Corp. because if we lost her....everyone along with myself wouldn't know what to do.
Weevil was down to his last 500 life points. I had about 1200. I could win this thing. And I will. With the great support of Reenie, my old friend's sister and my new friend Duke I was unstoppable. And with a final attack from my Dark Witch of the Moon, I won!!
Reenie jumped up and down as Duke and Serenity made some cheers.
Weevil however was dizzy as his cards were scattered every where. Mina walked over to him, picked up his 2 locator cards and his rarest card. 'Jinxo the Man Eater'(hey, I thought it up) "You seriously need to work on your strategy if you ever want to stay longer in a tournament than just 2 measly hours." I told him. I turned to my friends. "Let's go find my last victim!"
Another familiar voice came up to Mina. "I'll take you on Aino." When I turned it just happened to be another shorty. Rex Raptor was his name. "OH GIVE ME A BREAK!" I happened to yell out loud. "STOP SENDING ME SHORT ONES!"
"Don't worry about his height Mina! Duel him!" suggested Reenie.
"Oh yeah. Looking for a duel Mr. Raptor?"
"You read my mind."
Oh boy, this was going to be another cinch. I would win his two locator cards and make it to the finals. I can't wait!
___________________________________________________________________________
Like I said. Too simple. Toooooooooo simple.
__________________________________________________________________________
Over near the other side of town, Mercury and fake Venus had the duty to look out at all the city while Jupiter and Mars kept a close to Mr. Kaiba and Mokuba. Incase anyone attacked him out of no where they would be there to stop them.
Lita is known for her brute strength. Everyone should know that. But as of today.
Jupiter was straining as she was carrying Kaiba's silver briefcase which happened to be filled with all his rare cards. He already had his 7 locator cards so he was just looking around for chump competition.
Seto should feel honored that the girl's actually wasted their time on him when they could be stopping crimes from happening. Lucky Seto? Huh?
_______________________________________________________________________
Rex Raptor was yet another breeze. I beat him in like 10 minutes tops. After all that being said and done, we finally decided to go find Joey. Maybe he got all 7 of his locator cards. I still want to talk to him and maybe he really wants to talk to me too. We could figure that out when we go see him.
We caught up at a duel with Joey facing off with a certain familiar face for him...a Mr. Bandit Keith? Yup, he has been mind-control free for awhile! And when the matters turned to worst...
"Hey Joey!" I yelled.
He looked over at her and saw Mina standing with Serenity.
"We're with you Joey!" shouted Serenity.
"You can do it!"
Joey nodded and looked at Bandit Keith with the look I remembered from long ago when I used to play baseball with him and Serenity. And with a matter of minutes, he won!! Yay!!!
That's like the first time I saw Joey duel in my life. Well, finish a duel. He has some pretty impressive cards.
He came up to us as Serenity blurted out. "Mina already has all her locator cards and she's off to the finals! "
"Dat's great Mina," he complimented. "Same here! It's all so fast!"
Then Tea suggested, "Hey! How about we all go look for Yugi and we can all go to the finals together?"
"I second that idea, Tea," agreed Tristan.
Joey then grabbed onto my arm. Looks like he wanted to talk. "You guys go ahead. We'll meet back at da pier at night fall. Mina and I have some catchin' up ta do. "
"Right, right." I replied.
He probably has a lot of questions for me since a 3 years later after I moved away, we moved back and we've been in the same city ever since...could he be mad?
__________________________________________________________________________
We walked around which seemed like forever. & we talked about a lot of stuff. Our schools are only 5 blocks apart and I told him my dad's thinking of transferring me to another school. Domino High could work out for me.
He couldn't believe how much I matured. (yeah...right...) I told him that I've heard about his punk rep. before he met Yugi. He was sort of embarrassed when he found out I knew about that. To tell you the truth, he looked much cuter when he gets embarrassed when he was 5 years old. But that was back in the old days.
I also told him about that evil and Marik but not my true secret. I'm sure he learned about the goddess of love Aphrodite in school and I'm sure everyone of his friends has learned about it. Even Mai. Truthfully, they were actually learning about me. Yup! It's kinda weird imagining you, who is the reincarnation (bare with me) of a mythical goddess and finding out later you were actually learning about yourself. That is my duty anyway. Fighting for love.
Joey was very understanding of the predicament me and my friends were in. And as friendly as he is, he vowed to help us destroy this evil called Chaos when the time comes. He didn't really vow. He promised. I kept his word to that knowing that he would keep his promise.
I really missed the goof. I thought when I moved back that when my parents found out that Joey didn't live with both of his parents anymore, I thought he moved out of the city. That's why I didn't bother asking my parents where he was. He said he acted the same way. Serenity was younger back then and was living with her mom.
"Serenity tells me on what you did for Mai last tournament," I told him.
"Huh?"
"Seems like you really cared for her."
"Let's get dis straight Mina. Whateva you're thinkin' it's not like dat! She's just a friend. Nothin' more!"
"I dunno.... I heard you almost...ya know..." (she means he almost kissed her. I know that didn't happen but my story! So poo!)
"WHAT?!" Joey had one of his crazy faces on. "Who told you dat?!"
"Your sister."
"I'm sure she had da wrong idea!"
"Sisters..."
I'm sure Serenity did. Little siblings look up to their brothers and everything they do they take seriously.
Speaking on that girlfriend note, he just had to ask me. "Have you had any boyfriends yet?"
I also froze in place. WHAT?! ...well...there was only 1....2...okay 3! But those were short lasting!
I made a nervous chuckle. "Yeah..."
He looked at me as if I was his girlfriend and someone had stolen me away from him. "Were you two eva serious?"
"Not-Not exactly...just friends after that."
"Oh."
"Mai looks like a nice person. You should defiantly go for a girl like her."
"You must have a few screws loose, Mina. She acts like she's da greatest thing god created! "
Now that you mention it...she did seem full of herself when she said she couldn't talk. I mean a person could have the whole day to get all 7 of their locator cards. A girl like her for Joey? She seems way older too. I don't think so.
"Normally, I wouldn't wear this kinda stuff." I told him. "My friends made wear this hoping you would recognize me with out that big red bow in my hair."
"Whoever your friends were, they were wrong about da outfit. I'd notice ya even if ya were wearin' a whole color. "
Then if he could recognize me, then why couldn't he recognize me in my Sailor Venus forms? Can someone tell me that?
"Ya look like you just came from hanging out wit' some bikers!"
I scratched my head and laughed nervously. "Yeah, my friend Lita had to say that too."
The next question happened to keep me in wonder.
"So what do you think the outcome of da finals are going to be?"
I paused for a moment. I don't know. I really hope I win for Serena. "I'm hoping one of us gets to win this. I mean, it's going to be my first dueling tournament finals to be in. I never knew I would have such a reputation would be so....known around the world! I'm even on the top 10 Duelists list."
"oh yeah?"
"Yup, you're on it too."
Joey's face turned from casual to way happy. "Really?! What rank am I?"
"# 5"
His face dropped.
"Kaiba's 4, Weevil Underwood is 3, I'm #2 and of course your friend Yugi is Number one."
His dropped then face turned inot a happy one. "Wow Mina! I'm so happy for you! "
He then thought and realized that he heard Kaiba's name at #4. "But it angers me that Kaiba has to be in front of me but it's a pleasure knowin' he's still not as good as Yuge!"
"You should be happy that you're even on a good list."
"I am....say, let's head to the pier. I bet everyone's waitin' for us."
I nodded and smiled.
As we were walking I felt a hand grab onto mine. It was Joey's and it was warm...nice warm...I remembered the same warmth when we used to hold hands when we were kids. I walked closer to him....even with this ninja guy still running around I felt really really safe with my old friend.
****
Me: Aw...*grabs a box of tissues* Excuse me-*runs away and blows my nose*
Eros: (my Yami) ....-__-....we would appreciate it if you all would review! Maybe Ms. Mina and boy wonder can become something more now that they found each other again.
Me: *waves tissue* I sure hope that happens!
Eros: And look for some couple pairing that you won't believe! One that may even blow your socks off!...that is...if some of you readers already have your socks off or don't wear socks at all.
Me: Just Review!
I decided to try something new and so this chapter shall be from Mina's point of view!
