Danny: Well, it's been a long haul and I don't have any chance of seeing
the end right now. *Grins* I'm having too much fun!
Yami Bakura: *Looks annoyed* You may be having fun.
Kaiba: And I still don't understand why you had to end that last chapter in the middle of the damn introductions!
Danny: *Smiles cutely* But I didn't end it in the middle of introductions.
Amaya: Oh, yeah? I meet Mickey, and you cut it off. I get attached to a bracelet, have a conversation with a ghost-
Kylara: Hey!
Amaya: *Ignoring Kylara* And you cut it off. Now, I'm introduced to Seto Kaiba (of all characters) and he seems fairly nice and you cut it off in the middle of the intros again! Why didn't you do that when I met freaky Bakura?
Bakura: Stupid mortal.
Amaya: What did you say you *beep* *beep*?! Why in the *beep* am I being censored?
Danny: You are using explicit language against Bakura. I happen to like cute crazy guys. That and the fact that you are using the 'f' word.
*Amaya starts yelling at the top of her lungs at Daenerys*
Danny: *Plugging her ears* People, me no own KH or Yu-Gi-Oh! Me only claim Amaya, Kylara, and Sennen Manacle. KH owned by Disney/Squaresoft. Yu-Gi-Oh owned by Konami/Kazuki Takahashi! No sue me! May be more Animes mixed in soon! Going to new worlds and all. Will add disclaimers then!

Chapter 4: The Duel ---------- "My name is Seto Kaiba," the brunette answered her.
"Nice to meet you," Amaya replied. It is the typical formula statement to say when meeting someone new, of course.
Kaiba smiled at her, a little warmer this time. "Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"No thanks. If I drink anything, it'll be water, soda, tea, beer, or sake. I've never been big on coffee," Amaya said before she could stop herself.
Kaiba nodded. "Well, you should try it sometime. It helps me get the day going."
"Well, it's kinda stupid to be talking about beverages in the middle of the street and I need to get moving. Talk to you later. Bye," she said, turning to leave.
"Wait," Kaiba put his hand on her shoulder. "I could always call the limo with my cell. Would you mind some company?"
"I don't care," Amaya replied. Kaiba turned and told the driver of the limo that he would be walking for a while and sent him off. When he turned back, he saw Amaya staring down a dark alleyway.
"You shouldn't go down there," Kaiba said to her.
"What?" she asked, turning away from the opening. "Why?"
"Well, that alley isn't well lit and you can't be sure if anyone is down there."
"I hate to tell you this but, I think I have to go that way. Something Dark is in there," Amaya said, looking at the opening again. Kaiba's eyebrows had shot up so high, they were in danger of disappearing into his hair. "If you don't want to come, I won't mind."
"Well, everything in there is dark. And I won't let you go in there by yourself," Kaiba protested. Amaya glanced at him and went into the alley with Kaiba close behind her.
//He was right,// Amaya thought. //Everything is dark in here. But I know someone or- actually- something is down here.// "Probably Heartless," she muttered out loud.
"What's heartless?" Kaiba asked, startled.
Amaya didn't answer immediately. She felt the dark energy building up in front of her. Six, no, seven black energy explosions appeared in front of them. Two Soldiers, two Air Soldiers, two Red Rhapsodies and a Large Body appeared from within.
"What the hell is that?!" Kaiba cried shocked.
"Heartless," Amaya said, grimly. The cuff on her arm glowed as she reached for her cardholder, opened it, and pulled out the green Dark Magician along with Harpy's Brother and Harpy's Lady. Kaiba grabbed her arm, stopping her.
"Damn, Amaya! This isn't time to play games! Let's get ou-" Kaiba was cut short as Kylara Amaya jerked her arm free.
"No, Kaiba!" said the girl, "This isn't something I can just run away from. This is my duty and I will perform it!" She turned back to the approaching Heartless monsters. "I call thee forth from the Shadow Realm, Dark Magician, Harpy's Brother, and Harpy's Lady! Destroy these Heartless!"
With a bright flash of light, the three Duel Monsters were there. There was a brief moment in which Kaiba got to get a good look at them. They weren't illusions like the holographic versions. They were real! The Dark Magician was even a different color from the one Yugi had. Kaiba was once again first-hand experiencing Shadow Realm magic.
* * *
Back at the game shop, Otogi, Riku and Grandpa were engaged in a pretty intense discussion. For the most part, Yugi and Co. couldn't follow it. Well, it was more like the 'Co.' part of Yugi and Co. Yugi was too busy talking to Yami about a possible eighth Sennen Item.
Yami asked his counterpart.
I used to watch this really old Medieval movie- can't remember the name- that have dungeons and stuff. There were chains on the walls. Cuffs, like that one, were attached to those chains. I think that it might be a 'manacle.' It looked too wide to be a bracelet. Yugi said.
a new voice asked.
Yugi gasped.
Yami asked the mysterious Egyptian woman.
I sent Amaya O'Donell the Sennen Manacle! She needed it in her quest to restore order in the universe! Only the Key would be allowed to use it like she has and is doing so now!
the pharaoh and Yugi cried together.
"Riku! Amaya is in trouble!" Yugi said aloud to the white-haired man that they now know.
"Dammit to Hell!" Riku said through gritted teeth. His fist was clenched but, slowly, he laid his hand back flat on the counter. The cold exterior reasserted itself over the anger and fear within his soul. He turned away from Grandpa and Otogi, walked straight to Yugi and gave him his cold look. "Where is she?"
* * *
The battle between the Duel Monsters and the Heartless was intense. Harpy's Brother swooped in, dodged the Air Soldiers' attacks and, using his claws, destroyed them. Harpy's Lady does a similar move on the Red Rhapsodies as the Dark Magician aims and destroys the remaining offenders in one strike.
As quickly as they had come, they glowed brightly and went back to their cards. Kaiba was staring at Amaya with absolute disbelief. Kylara, still in possession of Amaya's body, lowered the hand with the cards in it and slid them back into the holder.
"Y- you have a S- Sennen Item!" he shouted, pointing at her. Kylara looked at Kaiba directly in the eyes. //Those eyes!// Kaiba thought, //They look just like Yami Yugi's! Who is she?//
"Does that surprise you, Priest Seth?" Kylara said to the shocked Kaiba. "I suppose a reincarnation wouldn't remember the past. Pity. You could have answered for your actions against my brother all those years ago." She smiled.
"What? How did you-Never mind that! Who are you?" Kaiba demanded.
"So you do remember, do you?"
"Only a vague little bit. What Isis told me, that is. Now answer me!"
"I am called Kylara, the sister to the Pharaoh of Egypt. But I am also Amaya O'Donell. I will see you again, Priest." And with that, her eyes dimmed for a second and in the next, Amaya was shaking her head clear. She was pale and shaky again, but she was at least able to stand without too much trouble.
"Sorry, Kaiba. I didn't mean to get you mixed up in this," she mumbled looking down at the ground in shame. "I should have done something to make you leave me alone, but I didn't. I guess that I kinda liked you from. Never mind. You wouldn't understand."
"What do you mean by that?" Kaiba looked at her. //I don't think she understands how much power she has in her hands. If she could bring Duel Monsters to life, she could create all kinds of trouble and take over the world with that kind of arsenal! But she doesn't seem like Pegasus or Marik or Bakura. What can I do to make her at least not feel so bad?// Kaiba was still watching Amaya for an answer to his question. He grew impatient and said "Talk, will ya?!"
"Get the hell away from her!" a voice came, deep but cold as an icy wind. A tall white-haired man was coming towards them with Yugi, Joey, Honda, and Anzu tailing him. What was even more surprising was that Yugi's grandpa and some other guy were right after them.
"Hey! That's-" Yugi began.
"-Seto Kaiba!" finished Anzu.
Amaya looked up and saw the white-haired man. "Riku, I'm so sorry! I didn't know I was going to run into them! They just kinda showed up!"
"How many?"
"Seven. Two each of the Soldiers, Air Soldiers, Red Rhapsodies, and a Large Body," Amaya explained.
"Are you hurt, Amaya-san?"
"No!" The look Amaya gave Riku was indignant. "Like Hell I would have stayed if I knew I was going to get hurt. What took you so long, Keyblade Master?"
"Yugi told me. How he knew, I don't know." Everyone turned to Yugi, expecting an explanation.
"It was Isis. She told me," Yugi said at last.
"Isis? What was she doing here?" Kaiba asked. Joey, Honda, and Anzu echoed the same question.
"Uh. Excuse me, but who's Isis?" the black-haired kid asked, looking around.
"She is sort of a friend, Otogi," Anzu said, looking at Yugi. "But why would she have warned you about that, Yugi?"
"We, Yami and I, were talking about Amaya's Sennen Manacle. She came, probably through the power of her Sennen Tauk, and said she knew what the Manacle was and that she gave it to those who would deliver it to Amaya."
"Those Duck Brothers!" Amaya burst out, surprising everyone. "Well, Dewey- I think it was the blue one- said that a strange woman came with that Manacle and told them to give it to the Key. That 'Key' was me!"
"But what is a Keyblade Master?" Joey asked Amaya and Riku.
"Let's discuss this where it isn't so dark," Riku said. "I have long grown tired of the darkness." With that, the Yu-Gi-Oh cast exited the alleyway and moved off to where it would be more appropriate to talk.
//Hopefully the living room above the shop would serve this large company.// Yugi's grandpa thought.
When they reached the Game Shop, Amaya tensed up between Kaiba and Riku. Kaiba, for some reason, hovered around Amaya like a buzzard and wouldn't be more than three feet away while Riku was close as well. This naturally annoyed Riku, but as usual, he didn't show any emotion on his face. However, his body was tense and his muscles were rippling underneath his clothes.
But when the two of them saw Amaya pause in front of the shop, they knew something was wrong. Only Riku knew what was wrong, which gave him a surge of pleasure as Kaiba tried to walk her into the shop.
Amaya resisted, so she didn't move forward a step, but when Riku whispered "Amaya-san, they won't hurt you and you have done well all ready protecting your knowledge of them. Don't worry, k?" she loosened up and walked in the shop.
Kaiba glared at Riku, angered by whatever he said to Amaya to get her moving. Riku, however, didn't smile, smirk or anything at Kaiba from his victory. He just watched Amaya go in and followed her.
* * *
An hour later, Yami asked Yugi to challenge Amaya to a duel.
"Amaya? Is that a Duel Monsters deck in that cardholder?"
"Hn. Yeah," Amaya said, wondering where this was going.
"Would you like to duel?" Yugi asked.
"Hn," Amaya said again. she shouted inwardly.
I will guide you through. He has the Sennen Puzzle. Let us see if he knows how to use it!
"Okay," Amaya replied after a brief pause to everyone else.
"CooI! We can use the Duel Monsters field back at my game shop!" Otogi said, very interested in this.
After a brief change in scenery, Amaya and Yugi were in position to duel. Yugi went to Yami mode as did Amaya. "Let's duel!" they shouted simultaneously.

"Impossible!" Anzu yelled from the sidelines. "This duel was crazy to begin with, but this sends it off the chart!" Jounouchi shouted a second later. "A green Dark Magician! It must be very rare!" Otogi said.
"I knew it must be you. Only she had that Dark Magician! Let's finish this duel!" Yami cried. *Plays Reborn the Monster* "I bring back my Dark Magician!"

*GAME OVER*
"Ohmigosh! They tied!" Anzu said, shocked by the outcome. Yami Yugi, however, was pleased. He had planned on this happening and he wasn't upset at all. Amaya was very surprised, however.
I certainly expected the boy to fail by himself, but apparently he and my brother get along very well. They dueled exquisitely together!
Yami Yugi came around the arena to shake hands with them. This time, Amaya took it without hesitation.
"It's nice to see you again," Yami said.
"It is certainly nice to be seen," Kylara replied. "Good duel, brother."
"Yes, good duel."
The spirits went back to their 'homes' in their hosts' minds. Yugi and Amaya smiled at each other with honest liking. //Well, I might not like what I've gotten into, but I will try to enjoy it now.// Amaya thought. //Now for the Big Daddy Boss Boy and we can get going to the next crazy place!//

//He was right,// Amaya thought. //Everything is dark in here. But I know someone or- actually- something is down here.// "Probably Heartless," she muttered out loud.
"What's heartless?" Kaiba asked, startled.
Amaya didn't answer immediately. She felt the dark energy building up in front of her. Six, no, seven black energy explosions appeared in front of them. Two Soldiers, two Air Soldiers, two Red Rhapsodies and a Large Body appeared from within.
"What the hell is that?!" Kaiba cried shocked.
"Heartless," Amaya said, grimly. The cuff on her arm glowed as she reached for her cardholder, opened it, and pulled out the green Dark Magician along with Harpy's Brother and Harpy's Lady. Kaiba grabbed her arm, stopping her.
"Damn, Amaya! This isn't time to play games! Let's get ou-" Kaiba was cut short as Kylara Amaya jerked her arm free.
"No, Kaiba!" said the girl, "This isn't something I can just run away from. This is my duty and I will perform it!" She turned back to the approaching Heartless monsters. "I call thee forth from the Shadow Realm, Dark Magician, Harpy's Brother, and Harpy's Lady! Destroy these Heartless!"
With a bright flash of light, the three Duel Monsters were there. There was a brief moment in which Kaiba got to get a good look at them. They weren't illusions like the holographic versions.

"Riku! Amaya is in trouble!" Yugi said aloud to the white-haired man that they now know.
"Dammit to Hell!" Riku said through gritted teeth. His fist was clenched but, slowly, he laid his hand back flat on the counter. The cold exterior reasserted itself over the anger and fear within his soul. He turned away from Grandpa and Otogi, walked straight to Yugi and gave him his cold look. "Where is she?"

The battle between the Duel Monsters and the Heartless was intense. Harpy's Brother swooped in, dodged the Air Soldiers' attacks and, using his claws, destroyed them. Harpy's Lady does a similar move on the Red Rhapsodies as the Dark Magician aims and destroys the remaining offenders in one strike.
As quickly as they had come, they glowed brightly and went back to their cards. Kaiba was staring at Amaya with absolute disbelief. Kylara, still in possession of Amaya's body, lowered the hand with the cards in it and slid them back into the holder.
"Y- you have a S- Sennen Item!" he shouted, pointing at her. Kylara looked at Kaiba directly in the eyes. //Those eyes!// Kaiba thought, //They look just like Yami Yugi's! Who is she?//
"Does that surprise you, Priest Seth?" Kylara said to the shocked Kaiba. "I suppose a reincarnation wouldn't remember the past. Pity. You could have answered for your actions against my brother all those years ago." She smiled.
"What? How did you-Never mind that! Who are you?" Kaiba demanded.
"So you do remember, do you?"
"Only a vague little bit. What Isis told me, that is. Now answer me!"
"I am called Kylara, the sister to the Pharaoh of Egypt. But I am also Amaya O'Donell. I will see you again, Priest." And with that, her eyes dimmed for a second and in the next, Amaya was shaking her head clear. She was pale and shaky again, but she was at least able to stand without too much trouble.

"Get the hell away from her!" a voice came, deep but cold as an icy wind. A tall white-haired man was coming towards them with Yugi, Joey, Honda, and Anzu tailing him. What was even more surprising was that Yugi's grandpa and some other guy were right after them.
"Hey! That's-" Yugi began.
"-Seto Kaiba!" finished Anzu.
Amaya looked up and saw the white-haired man. "Riku, I'm so sorry! I didn't know I was going to run into them! They just kinda showed up!"
"How many?"
"Seven. Two each of the Soldiers, Air Soldiers, Red Rhapsodies, and a Large Body," Amaya explained.
"Are you hurt, Amaya-san?"
"No!" The look Amaya gave Riku was indignant. "Like Hell I would have stayed if I knew I was going to get hurt. What took you so long, Keyblade Master?"

*GAME OVER*
"Ohmigosh! They tied!" Anzu said, shocked by the outcome. Yami Yugi, however, was pleased. He had planned on this happening and he wasn't upset at all. Amaya was very surprised, however.
I certainly expected the boy to fail by himself, but apparently he and my brother get along very well. They dueled exquisitely together!
Yami Yugi came around the arena to shake hands with them. This time, Amaya took it without hesitation.
"It's nice to see you again," Yami said.
"It is certainly nice to be seen," Kylara replied. "Good duel, brother."
"Yes, good duel."
The spirits went back to their 'homes' in their hosts' minds. Yugi and Amaya smiled at each other with honest liking. //Well, I might not like what I've gotten into, but I will try to enjoy it now.// Amaya thought. //Now for the Big Daddy Boss Boy and we can get going to the next crazy place!//
