Trial By Cards
Hello all of my friends welcome to the 6th chapter of Trial By Cards. Irina's first true battle with Mai Valentine. Remember I said she would duel and she will. Oh and to think when this is happening Yugi is dueling for Mokuba. This story has a lot of twists and turns, but so far you have only seen glimpses of Keora's past well now today you will learn more. Well I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh so u no sue.
Chapter 6: Past, Present, and Future
" Hey kid you wanna duel?" asked Mai. That's how Irina's day had started. Of all things to be challenged to a duel right when you wake up. Zenda, Yama, Amara, Cynara, and Bakura had become permanent parts of the team.
Irina had said yes to the duel challenge and now was in the duel stadium with her cards. " Well Irina you sure have got yourself in over your head," said Irina to herself. Irina was down 1000 life points while Mai had 1600. Magician of Faith had been able to help out by bringing Irina's Red Eye's back and had taken out 400 of Mai's points. But Mai's Harpy Ladies were decimating all of her forces. Of course there was one secret card that Irina and Keora were sharing. " Come on Irina why don't you just give up," said Mai. " It obvious that you have stumbled into the big leagues," said Mai. Irina had her head down tears streaming down her face.
" Come on Irina we believe in you," said Keora suddenly and all the others nodded. " Mai don't be mislead by my tears," said Irina. She looked up at the older girl and she smirked. " I know this may seem corny, but at this moment I feel stronger then I have ever felt. Oh and you know why?" asked Irina. " I don't want to be preached to I want to duel you," said Mai. " I feel strong because I have my friends at my side even when I'm dueling," said Irina and suddenly she looked at the card in her hand.
" Oh and because this move will finish it," said Irina. "
" I may be scared at dueling someone like you, but my dragon isn't," said Irina. " I call on the Blue Eyes White Dragon," said Irina. " But Kaiba's the only person with that card," said Mai.
" Well right now it looks like your wrong," said Irina. " Blue Eyes White Thunder," said Irina. The dragon fired and knocked out all of the Harpy's. " There's something else you may want to know," said Irina. " I trust in the Heart of my cards I don't use petty tricks," said Irina.
Mai walked away wondering what the girl meant. Slowly she turned around and looked at the group of girls. " I swear Irina one of these days," said Mai. Irina smirked and crossed her arms. " Sure I'll duel anytime and anyplace," said Irina.
Keora smiled at her friend who now had 4 star chips. Mai still had two so Keora smiled. " Hopefully she learned something from that duel," said Keora. Yama, Zenda and Amara nodded. Keora, Ray, and Mazara hugged Irina who was beaming with joy. Cynara and Bakura just stood and smiled happy they weren't losing the other duelist in the group. Keora smiled remembering her first duel with Irina.
Flashback
" Irina you really need to learn how to use a strategy," said Keora as she beat her friend. Irina sighed and looked at Keora. " Well it's not like I've been playing this game since I was 8," said Irina. Keora nodded the girl had only started two weeks ago and had asked Keora to be her personal trainer. That was less then a three months before Duelist Kingdom. At least she had learned. " You need to learn which cards should be used when," said Keora. " Like with your Red Eye's the only time you need to use it is when a strong monster is on the field like a Harpy Lady or something like that," said Keora. Irina had nodded, but it had taken two more hard weeks to finally get the idea thru Irina's thick skull.

" Earth to Keo come in Keo," said Ray. Keora snapped her head up. " Sorry I guess I zoned out," said Keora. " What were you thinking about?" asked Irina. " Our first duel and how long it took to teach you how to keep that Red Eye's in reserve," said Keora. Irina laughed at that remark and smiled. " Well it's not my fault is it if I was new," said Irina. " Ur still a novice compared to Keora's skills," said Bakura. Zenda smiled at the others and then looked at Keora. " No wonder you can control the Light Magicians powers," said Zenda.
" I know it's strange how I just found it sitting in a box in the attic when I was 4," said Keora. " It's no coincidence tho you were destined to receive it," said Yama. Amara looked at Cynara and smiled. " Yes all three of you Kaiba sisters were destined," said Amara. " That's why there were 5 Blue Eyes and now there are 4," said Yama. Keora nodded slowly and smiled. " Well whatever happens we need to stick together," said Keora.
Flashback
" Little girl do you want to come with us?" asked a kindly lady. Keora looked at her silently and shook her head. " Not without Mazara," said Keora. The lady looked from Keora to Mazara. " Why don't you just leave her and come with us," said the lady. Keora shook her head and took out a card shaped locket. " I promised Mazara we'd be together forever," said Keora and the lady walked out. Mazara looked at her sister.
" Keora why didn't you go with them you would have had a home and everything u always dreamed of," said Mazara. " I love you Mazara I couldn't just leave you here," said Keora and hugged her sister. Two tears came to Mazara's eyes and she hugged her sister. " You're the best," said Mazara. Keora blushed and then smiled. " One day Mazara we'll get out of here," said Keora. She had also kept that promise because in her parents will it said that when she turned 10 she could go live in a small Kaiba Corporation building and that is what she did.
End Flashback
" Keora what's wrong?" asked Mazara as she looked at her sister who had two tears in her eyes. Suddenly Keora hugged Mazara and whispered in her ear. " Mazara I've kept all my promises so far and now I am making another one. We will save Mokuba," said Keora quietly. Cynara looked at her twin and little sister and smiled. She walked over and put her hands on their shoulder. " We'll all get Mokuba," said Cynara loud enough for everyone to hear. They all nodded and looked at the castle. " If it's the last thing I do," said Keora. Bakura looked at her and smiled. " No if it's the last thing we do," said Bakura. Keora nodded and looked at him and sighed.
" What's wrong?" asked Bakura. " It won't be that easy," said Keora. Suddenly Bakura hugged her and whispered in her ear. " IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE DO," whispered Bakura and Keora blushed. He smiled and slowly kissed her quickly. The others all gasped at this sudden show of affecting and then Mazara and Cynara with their yami's.
" Keora and Bakura sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-I-N-G," all 4 sang. Yama and Bakura looked about ready to kill them when suddenly Keora's wings popped out and she held her Light Magician like staff. " If I count to ten and you 4 haven't stopped Ray, Irina, Yama, Bakura, and I will leave you 4 here," said Keora.
That shut them up quick and they started to walk again.
Bakura and Keora leading while Yama was trying to discipline the two yami's. She was trying to discipline the older Amara and younger Zenda and they sure were not to happy. Mazara and Cynara were watching their yami's and laughing. While Irina and Ray were quite confused.
So how do you like it. Strange how my story is slowly turning into a romance story also and the chapter are getting longer. After this chapter there will be quite a lot of flashbacks and duels including a few strange happenings like Keora and Bakura disappearing one night.
