Chapter 2: A Duel with Destiny
It was after school. Everyone was at their lockers getting their books and getting ready to go home. Hana was one of the last to leave. She closed her locker and headed to the exit when she saw it was raining. Hana watched happily as the rain came down. She liked the rain and didn't mind the fact that she didn't have her umbrella with her. She stepped outside into the world of falling water and began to leave the campus when someone shouted to her.
"Hana!"
Hana spun around to see little Yugi running up to her with his umbrella.
"Hello Yugi." Hana smiled.
"Hana! It's pouring out today! Don't you have an umbrella?"
"I'm afraid I don't but that's ok. I enjoy the rain." She replied.
Yugi never met anyone who liked getting soaked in the rain. "Here, let me share my umbrella with you."
"You don't have to do that, Yugi."
"I insist! Besides, you don't want to get sick and miss school already! You've just started!"
"Oh, alright." Hana agreed.
Yugi and Hana walked off campus together before they stopped. Yugi blushed and sweat dropped. "Um, I'm afraid I don't know where you live."
"Well, which way to your house?" Hana asked.
"I live that way at my Grandpa's shop." Yugi pointed to the left.
"Oh, well, I live this way." Hana pointed to the right.
"Well, then I'll walk you home and then I'll walk back to my home." Yugi suggested.
"I don't want you to do that! I live farther than you do from here. I'll walk to you're home and then I'll just borrow your umbrella."
"Wait! I have a better idea!" Yugi exclaimed. "Why don't we duel!"
Hana was puzzled. "In the rain?"
"No! There are dueling arenas at Kaiba Land! It's not far from here! We can go duel there and by the time our duel is finished, it will probably have stopped raining!"
"We were going to duel anyway." Hana thought aloud. "That sounds like a great idea! Do you have you're cards?"
"Yep! And do you?"
"Of course!"
"Alright! Then lets go!"
Bakura had been spying on them. "Something tells me that this is one duel I don't want to miss." He smirked as continued to follow them.
*******
They entered one of the spare dueling arenas. Yugi and Hana took their places. Yugi shuffled his deck and Hana shuffled her's.
'Yugi?' spoke Yami, the spirit within Yugi's Millennium puzzle. 'Will you be dueling alone?'
'Yeah.' Yugi replied.
'I sense that you should not duel alone. Let me help you.' Pleaded the spirit.
'It's just a friendly match between friends. I can do it without you.'
Yami nodded. He didn't know why, but he felt he needed to pay attention to what happens in this duel. He sensed something but didn't know what. He decided to watch this battle play out and see what will become of it. Now, Yami's spirit seemed to be standing right next to Yugi as Yugi placed his deck in its proper place.
Bakura watched the match from a distance. He didn't want to be seen. "Let us see what will become of this duel." He said to himself.
"Are you ready, Hana?" Yugi shouted across from his side of the arena.
"I'm ready when you are!" she shouted across from the other side of the arena. "And you better be ready! I may be a girl, but I duel just as hard as any guy!"
Yugi wasn't sure where that came from. He didn't expect her to be a weak duelist because she was a girl. Yugi just nodded. "Let's duel!"
They each drew five cards. Yugi had on his serious game face on while Hana expressed no emotion as she examined her hand. Yugi made the first move.
"I play the Celtic Guardian in attack mood! That ends my turn!"
Hana, unfazed, glanced back down at her hand. "I will play this card face down." She said simply as she laid down one card. "Then, I will play Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode!" She declared as she placed her Spellcaster type monster on the field.
"Hmm." He acknowledged. He knew what was coming for Neo the Magic Swordsman has an attack strength of 1700 while his Celtic Guardian had an attack strength of 1400.
"Attack the Celtic Guardian, my Swordsman!" she commanded.
The holographic creature attacked causing a slight fall in Yugi's life points.
"Celtic Guardian is no more. But I sense you have yet to begin. I know how you duel, Yugi. I know you're just getting warmed up. Well, so am I." She said.
'Hana seems like a different person on the dueling arena.' Yugi noted. He then nodded to her and drew a card. "First, I place this card face down. Next, I shall also play a Spellcaster! I play the Dark Magician in attack mode!"
"Dark Magician, attack!" Yugi commanded. And with that, Neo the Magic Swordsman was destroyed, leaving Hana with fewer life points then Yugi.
"You destroyed one of my favorite monsters, Yugi. Now I shall return the gesture." Hana drew a card. "I shall start things off by resurrecting my loyal swords man." Hana placed down a Monster Reborn card, which brought back her Neo the Magic Swordsman. "Next, I shall also place my Petit Angel in defense mode!" Hana threw down her monster.
'Why would Hana play such a weak monster?' Yugi thought.
"I'm not done yet! I will also play Trap Master in attack mode!" She announced as she placed her monster on the field.
"Oh no!" Yugi couldn't help but shout out.
"I see you know why I play him even though he has an attack of 500. Trap Master has the power to destroy one trap card on the field, and I tend to take advantage of that opportunity!" With the power of the Trap Master, Hana destroyed Yugi's trap card he had face down on the field. "My turn has ended."
Yugi saw she was indeed a strong duelist. He could see why she had been invited to Duelist Kingdom. She dueled with a fiery passion but kept it well hidden. 'But, she seems so different here on the arena then when I first met her at Grandpa's shop.' He drew another card. "I play Curse of Dragon in attack mode! I now attack your Swordsman again! Go, Curse of Dragon!" Yugi attacked with his Dragon.
"Did you think I'd let you strike my swordsman twice?" Hana flipped over her face down card, which was a trap.
"A trap!" Yugi said aloud.
"I activate my trap card, Two-Pronged Attack! I shall sacrifice two of my monsters in order to destroy one of yours! And not just anyone! But the Dark Magician!" Hana sacrificed her Petit Angel and her Trap Master and in doing so, she destroyed his Dark Magician.
"No! My Dark Magician!" shouted Yugi. 'That's why she played those weaker monsters. By sacrificing two of her monsters, she could instantly destroy one of mine.' Yugi felt like he should have seen that coming. He looked down at his hand.
"Yugi?"
Yugi looked up and looked across the arena at Hana.
"I'm sorry for destroying your Dark Magician. I know he's your favorite. But I had no choice." She said with sincerity in her voice. 'Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.'
'Huh? It's like she's two people! First she's this hot-shot duelist, then she's this sweet, innocent little girl.' Yugi thought.
'You're right Yugi.' The spirit said to him. 'There's something about her. I detected magical energies from her, and they are getting stronger.'
'Why do I feel so bad about destroying his magician?' Hannah felt her necklace under her shirt. 'I feel like my heart is torn. I don't want Yugi do be upset at me. It's just a friendly match. But something keeps pushing me to duel my hardest.'
Yugi drew a card. "First, I'll place one card face down! Next, I'll play Gaia the Fierce Knight in attack mode! Now, I'll use the power of Polymerization to fuse my Curse of Dragon with Gaia the Fierce Knight to bring forth Gaia the Dragon Champion!"
Yugi's Curse of Dragon was strong enough to defeat Neo the Magic Swordsman, but this way she wouldn't have a chance to attack his Dragon on her next turn.
Hana drew a card. "I will place these two cards face down, ending my turn."
Yugi drew a card. "I shall attack with Gaia the Dragon Champion!"
"Then I will activate my magic card, Dark Hole! It destroys all monsters on the field, including my own!"
Yugi watched as all the monsters disappeared. 'She did it again. She sacrificed her own monster to destroy mine.'
'Yes, there's something about her dueling strategy. She used lots of trap and magic cards. She also will sacrifice even her own monsters if it means destroying her opponent's. I believe I've seen this tactic of dueling used before.' Said the spirit.
"Why, Hana? Why do sacrifice your own monsters to destroy mine?" Yugi asked.
"Don't think me heartless, Yugi. I do not to it in vain. I care for all my monsters. When I sacrifice one of my monsters, it's like sacrificing a part of myself. Their sacrifice does not go without my gratitude and thanks."
Bakura looked very intrigued. "She is a very strong duelist. The deeper into the duel she goes, the stronger her strange energy surges." Bakura looked down at his ring, which remanded dormant. "No, she does not posses a millennium item, but she does posses strong magic within her being; ancient magical energy."
"It's your move, Yugi." Said Hana.
Yugi said nothing and drew a card. "I will put Mystical Elf in defense mode!" When Yugi did so, the elf began to chant. "And I will also put this card face down! Your move."
Hana drew a card and looked at it for a moment. 'I'll finally get to see what this card can do.' She thought. "But-" She looked over at Yugi's face down card. 'That may be a trap, so just incase-' "I'll play Ansatsu in attack mode! Attack his elf!"
"Then I will activate the Living Arrow card! It takes my opponents attack and sends it right back at you!" Yugi shouted. "Ansatsu is destroyed."
Just then, a bright light emitted from the Mystical Elf. Hana shield her eyes with her arm.
"By using the Living Arrow card, my Mystical Elf had time to finish her chant! Now, Mystical Elf, with your power, resurrect the Dark Magician from the Graveyard!"
The light emitted brighter before dimming away, revealing the Dark Magician once more. Yugi then drew a card and placed it face down. Because Hana had no monsters on the field, he was able to attack Hana's life points directly. He did so with his magician. Now Hana's life points were greatly declined lower than Yugi's.
"I'm glad to see your magician is back." She smiled.
Yugi was puzzled.
Hana drew a card. "I will place this card face down. Finally, I will place this monster in attack mode! Go!" she shouted as she threw down her monster.
Both Yugi and Yami were shocked to see what monster she had placed on the field.
"I call upon the Dark Magician Girl!" She shouted. "Attack his Mystical Elf!" she commanded.
The female magician obeyed her master and destroyed the Mystical Elf.
'It can't be!' said Yami. 'It's impossible!'
'What are you talking about, Yami?' asked Yugi.
'I haven't seen that card since-! But, it can't be!'
"Well, Yugi, to make the playing field even, I also place a card face down." She said, completing her turn.
Bakura was surprised as well as Yami. 'That card! I know I've seen it before. But where? When? And more importantly, who had I known that possessed it?'
'It's not possible!' Yami repeated. 'I must get to the bottom of this!'
'What's going on, Yami?"
'I'm sorry, Yugi, but must take over now.'
'Huh? What-?'
Yami quickly switched minds with Yugi so that he could find out what he needed to find out. He felt bad about switch minds without fully consulting Yugi on the matter, but this was serious.
Bakura could sense that the two spirits in the young boy's vessel had switched minds. He knew the pharaoh had to have sensed magic contained within the young woman's vessel. But did the pharaoh know who this woman was? Did he sense something familiar about her like he had?
"Who are you? "Where did you get that card!" Yami demanded.
Hana was puzzled by his strange question. "This card was given to me!"
"By who?" he asked.
"I- I'm not quite sure." She replied.
Yami was silent.
"Are you going to duel or what?" she said in a harsh tone.
'Where did that come from?' Yami thought. 'Her attitude changed dramatically.' Yami seemed to begin to understand.
"I'm waiting!" she shouted.
"Very well." He drew a card. "Dark Magician, attack the Dark Magician Girl!"
"I don't think so. Why would he attack the one he loves?" Hana flipped over a very rare magic card. "Tender Hearts. With this magic card, I can have one of your monsters fall in love with one of mine only if they are of the opposite sex. Making it so that whatever monster of yours I choose, can't attack the monster of mine that I choose!"
"Yes!" Bakura said to himself. "I remember now!"
"I now know." Yami said aloud to himself.
"Now your Dark Magician is unable to attack the Dark Magician Girl because he's in love with her. It just makes sense. I mean, would you hurt the one you loved?"
Yami was silent.
"Now, I will use this card to boost my Dark Magician Girl's attack points higher then that of you're magician!" Hana did so and prepared to attack.
"Do not attack." Yami said.
Hana paused. "What?"
"Do not attack." He repeated. "If you do, I will activate my face down card and you will loose this duel."
Hana was puzzled. Why was he telling her this?
Yami placed his hand over his deck.
"Wha-? Yugi?! What are you doing?" Hana shouted across the arena.
"It's like you said. You can't hurt the one you love- Reira."
Hana didn't understand what was going on. She grasped at her chest and gasped. She fell to her knees and continued to wheeze.
Yami, not wasting anytime, ran to her side. "Hana!"
"My- heart." She gasped. "It hurts."
"It's alright. Don't be scared."
"I don't- understand." Tears welled up in her eyes. "I've never- felt- like this."
"Don't fight it. It will be alright." Yami coaxed.
Hana began to stop resisting and in doing so, she seemed to have fainted.
"Hana?" Yami held her head up.
Hana's eyes fluttered open. She turned her head over to Yami and starred at him for a moment. Her brow began to quiver as her breath quickened. "Yami? Is it really you, my Pharaoh?" she asked in a voice that was slightly different than before.
"Reira." He breathed in disbelief. He pulled her close and hugged her tightly against him. "It's you."
Bakura smirked as he made his way to the exit. "Excellent." He chucked to himself with a sinister tone.
*******
I had a hard time trying to describe the duel! If I made any dueling technicalities, I'm sorry! Just a reminder, Hana does NOT have a Millennium Item! So then what's going on with her? Well, you'll find out next chapter! Until then! Later!
