Chapter 10: Until We Meet Again
"Bakura, you bastard!" Reira growled. "How dare you touch my deck and use my own card against Yami!"
Bakura chuckled at Reira and grinned as Yami started at the card in his hand that he had turned over, revealing The Dark Magician Girl card. "I only meant to borrow it, my dear." He taunted. "I'll be sure to put it to good use." He assured her.
"That card is not yours to use!" Yami barked in anger.
Bakura gave no heed. "I sacrifice The Portrait's Secret and summon Dark Magician Girl to the field."
As if the fact Bakura had the Dark Magician Girl card wasn't a shock enough, what happened next was worse.
Yami gasped. "Bakura! What have you done?!" he commanded.
Bakura grinned. "I told you, I was inspired by Reira's, or should I say Hana's, duel with little Yugi. After all, 'would you hurt the one you love'?" he mocked.
Yami clenched his fist in anger.
When Bakura placed the Dark Magician Girl card on the field, the smaller version of the monster appeared above the card. Only this time, the Dark Magician Girl had long raven hair rather than blonde. "What? Where am I? I feel so strange."
"Oh my gods! Hana!" Reira shouted from her helpless position.
The small Magician Girl looked up at her surroundings to find three familiar faces; one of which was her own. "Huh? What's going on?! Am I dreaming?!"
"Hana!" Yami shouted in disbelief.
She turned around and looked up into the eyes of the giant boy she had befriended from school. "Yugi?" Hana then noticed her attire. "What? How did I get these clothes? Why do I look like the- the Dark Magician Girl?" Hana puzzled.
"Because you are the Dark Magician Girl." Bakura informed. "And you obey me!"
Hana was still greatly confused by everything. "What?"
"Bakura! How dare you! It's bad enough you took my card, but to drag Hana into this is low!" Reira hissed.
"I'm surprised you didn't notice Hana's lack of presence within yourself." Bakura commented. "No matter."
Bakura was right. Reira was so distracted with everything that was happening around her, she didn't notice that Hana's spirit was no longer present within her own body.
"How dare you drag her into our Shadow Game!" Yami shouted. "This is between you and me! If any harm comes to her-"
"It will be your doing! You see, Pharaoh, the only way Hana is in any danger is if YOU attack her!" Bakura said smugly. "And I doubt little Yugi will forgive you for bringing harm to his friend, am I right?"
Yami growled. "You are sick!"
Hana stood frightened as she held her staff tightly in her hands. "I don't understand! What's going to happen to me?" she asked with fear in her voice.
"Everything will be alright." Reira assured.
Hana nodded nervously to her giant self, who was tied to a chair. "What's going on?" she asked.
"You are in a duel between Bakura and Yugi." Reira informed.
"But you are on MY side!" Bakura interfered.
"But that means I have to attack Yugi!" Hana spoke to Bakura.
Bakura smirked in satisfaction.
"Listen to me, Hana." Reira spoke. "It is very important that Yugi wins this duel! Don't attack him!"
"I'm afraid she doesn't have any choice in the matter." Bakura continued to smirk.
Hana looked up at Bakura, then Yami, then back to Bakura. "I don't like this! I don't want any part!"
"Sorry, my dear, but you are to follow my commands."
Reira was outraged. 'That card was a gift. Now, not only is he using my card, but using Hana as well! This is unforgivable!'
*Flashback in Reira's POV*
It was after Hana had been given the necklace and while I was still lying dormant within; a man came in the night.
The man had entered the chamber of Hana's mind, and found a passageway that led to her heart. He followed it, and in a dark corner within, he found my dormant spirit.
"Lady Reira. Awaken." He spoke.
I began to stir. I opened my eyes, and there before me, was an Egyptian man with long white robes and a turban adorned his head. His eyes were unnerving but nothing I felt any fear from. I stared at his presence and he bowed before me. Something I was never accustomed to.
"My Lady Reira, I am a servant of the Pharaoh."
'The Pharaoh? My Pharaoh?' I thought. "Where is he?" I asked.
"The Pharaoh shall return soon. As a loyal servant of the Pharaoh, I felt it my duty to bring you a gift."
"I don't understand." I puzzled.
"You're sister, Nikkou, left behind scrolls of you affair with the Pharaoh. She told of how much you two were in love. Is this not true?"
I nodded. "Yes it is true."
"Then I bring you this gift on behalf of the Pharaoh." He revealed to me a card. "This is a Duel Monster card. It is of the Dark Magician Girl. It is the first of its kind. I know that the Pharaoh would want his beloved to have this. Someday, you shall duel with him and he shall know it is you when he sees this card and you two will be united once more."
I looked from the card to the man. "Who are you?"
"I am Shadi."
*End Flashback*
'Shadi told me that he had a man named Pegasus create the card using carving that were created by my sister. My dear desist sister, thank you for all you've done for me.'
"Why are you being so heartless, Bakura?" Hana asked with tears in her eyes.
"Because I have no heart!" He spoke in a sinister tone with his smirk unwavering.
"But you're our friend." Hana spoke when her tears broke free and began to stream down her cheeks.
Bakura paid no attention. "Now I activate my face down magic card, Change of Heart!"
The card's creature sprung forth and took over Yami's Curse of Dragon.
"Now! Curse of Dragon! Attack your beloved master!"
The possessed dragon attacked Yami directly.
"Now! Dark Magician Girl! Attack as well!" Bakura ordered.
"No!" Hana protested. "I can't! I don't want to hurt Yugi!"
"Obey me!"
"Sorry, Bakura, but you can't make her attack because she's not like the other duel monster cards. She has a heart and a mind of her own!" Yami spoke to his opponent.
Bakura growled. "No matter! She still does me good by being on the field! She protects my life points because YOU wouldn't dare attack her and send her to the graveyard!"
Yami said nothing.
"I'll end my turn for now." Said Bakura. Curse of Dragon then returned to Yami's side of the field.
Yami drew a card. "I'll put these two cards down, then put my Kuribo on the field in defense mode! Now, I sacrifice Curse of Dragon and Kuribo to summon the Dark Magician!"
Bakura smirked. "So what?"
Yami was solemn. "Do forgive me." He spoke softly down to Hana.
Reira was taken back by Yami's words. "Yami?"
Hana looked up into Yami's eyes and nodded. "I believe in you, Yugi. I also trust you."
Yami nodded to Hana. "Now, my Dark Magician, attack the Dark Magician Girl!"
"What?!" Bakura shouted in surprise.
"Yami, no!" Reira shouted.
Hana tried to shield herself with her arms from the blast of light energy but it proved all for not. When the light subsided, Hana was gone.
Bakura sat shaken. 'He-he attacked her!'
Since the Dark Magician Girl was in attack mode, Bakura lost some life points.
Reira looked on in disbelief. 'Why?'
"Before I end my turn, I will use this magic card." Yami said as he pulled out a magic card from the cards in his hand and revealed it to Bakura.
"No!" Bakura gasped.
"I activate Monster Reborn to bring back the Dark Magician Girl! But this time, she's on MY side of the field." Yami announced.
Reira was most relieved by this outcome.
Hana appeared like she had before. When she opened her eyes, she looked up to see the giant Bakura sitting across from her this time. She then looked to her right and saw a tall dark figure that she recognized. "The Dark Magician? Then, I must be-"
"On my side of the field now." Yami finished for her.
Hana spun around and looked up at Yami and smiled. "I knew I could trust in you."
Yami smiled to Hana. He then put his game face back on and faced Bakura. "It's your move, Bakura."
Bakura couldn't believe what had happened. 'How could I have lost control of the duel?! How did this happen?!' He drew a card. "I'll place this monster face down in defense mode."
"I'll then activate my trap card, Light of Intervention!" Yami announced as he flipped over his trap card on the field.
Bakura's monster was revealed to be a monster known as the Thirteenth Grave.
"Now, I active my other trap card, Trap Hole!"
'No!' Bakura's mind shouted as beads of sweat dripped down his face. Bakura's last hope for defense was destroyed.
"It's over, Bakura!"
"No! It can't be!" he shouted in disbelief.
"But it is! Now, my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, attack him directly to finish this duel!"
Together, the two magicians attacked Bakura, ridding him of the last of his life points.
"No!" Bakura shouted in misery. "I was so close this time!"
The Shadow Realm atmosphere began to fade. The Duel Monsters on the field disappeared as well as Hana, but Reira could feel that Yami had used his Millennium Puzzle to place Hana's spirit back into her body.
"Reira, are you alright?" Yami asked as he ran to her side to untie her.
Once free, Reira took a moment to rub her wrist to help rid of the soreness. She then turned to Yami and embraced him. "I'm so glad you're alright, my Pharaoh!"
"I am fine as long as you are safe." He spoke softly.
When Yami closed his eyes, he reopened them as Yugi. "Hana?" He looked at the girl in his arms.
Hana looked over at the boy that held her and stood back from him. "Yugi?" she then broke into a smile. "Oh, Yugi!" she threw her arms around him again. "You were so brave! Thank you for saving me!"
Yugi blushed. "Well, I couldn't have done it without Yami."
Hana blinked. "Who's Yami?"
"I'll tell you about it later. It's kind of a long story and we really need to get you home! Your mom and dad are worried sick about you!"
Hana nodded.
Suddenly, the two heard a groan. They turned toward the sound and saw Bakura lying on the ground.
"Bakura!" Yugi shouted as he rushed to his side. "Are you ok?"
"Yugi? I have one mean headache. Where am I?"
"I'll fill you in later, Bakura. Let's first get you home."
"Yes, that would be quite good." Bakura agreed as Yugi helped him to his feet.
"Is Bakura going to be ok?" Hana asked.
"Don't worry, Hana, Bakura will be fine now." Yugi smiled in assurance.
*******
It was a week later when the gang met over at Hana's house; rather, Hana's old house.
"Do you really have to go?" Tea asked.
Hana nodded. "My dad got better job offer in northern Tokyo."
"We're going to miss you, Hana." Joey said with his head bowed.
"Yeah." Tristen agreed.
Tea looked over at Joey. "Are you CRYING, Joey?" she teased.
"NO! I just got something in my eye! The sun's really bright out today! I think I'm allergic to your perfume!"
"You're not supposed to give three explanations at the same time!" Tristen informed.
"Good-bye, Hana. I wish you the best." Bakura said as he shook Hana's hand.
"Thank you, Bakura." She smiled.
Joey then grabbed Bakura. "Come here, Bakura! I need a second opinion! Tell Tea her new perfume stinks!"
Hana laughed as poor Bakura was being kidnapped by Joey.
"Uh, Hana?"
Hana turned and saw Yugi before her. "Oh, Yugi!" she exclaimed as she reached into her bag. "I've been meaning to give this to you." She handed him a handkerchief.
"For me?" He took the squared piece of folded cloth and unfolded it. "Oh my gosh! My Exodia Cards!"
"I found them when I was on Duelist Island. On the first night there, I had made camp by the shore. It hadn't gotten dark just yet so I was lucky to see them floating to shore! I had heard about Yugi Mutou losing his Exodia cards and thought it was just awful! Well, I got the cards and tried to dry them as best I could but as you can see, the cardboard is still wrinkled so they're no good to use in duels anymore, but I thought that if the day came I could get these to Yugi Mutou, I would!"
Yugi stared at the card in his hand that he had once lost. "Wow, Hana! Thank you! Even if I can't use them to duel with anymore, it still means so much to me that you did what you did!"
Hana blushed slightly as she smiled. "I'm glad. I'm glad you have your cards back, and I'm happy to have met you. Thank you for being such a great friend to me. If you would, I would like you to take this as well." Hana presented to Yugi the Dark Magician Girl card.
Yugi stared at the card. "Oh no, Hana! I couldn't take that card!"
"Please do! Reira and I both want you and Yami to have it. We always want to be a part of your deck."
Yugi thought about it for a moment. He then took the card and nodded to Hana.
'Good-bye, Reira.' Yami spoke to the spirit of Reira that stood beside Hana.
'Only for now. We will meet again, my Pharaoh; my Love.' She smiled in assurance.
Yami smiled in return and nodded.
Hana smiled shyly at Yugi. "I'll miss you, Yugi."
"I'll miss you too, Hana."
"Hana, sweetie, we need to get going!"
"Coming, mom!" she shouted back. She then turned back to Yugi. On a moment of impulse, Hana leaned in and kissed Yugi on the cheek.
Yugi was stunned to say the least.
"I'll never forget you, Yugi Mutou." She said before she dashed off to the car. Once Hana was inside, she rolled down the window and stuck her head out. "You better take good care of my card, Yugi! I'll be back for it!" she shouted with an added wink. She waved to everyone as her parents pulled out and drove off.
'I'll be here.' he thought with a smile.
"Hey, Yug! Don't you think Tea's perfume stinks?"
"Shut up, Joey! Why don't you just admit that you were sad that Hana was leaving?!"
"I'm only sad that I didn't get to go out with her while she was here!"
"You're such a jerk, Joey Wheeler!"
Yugi began to drown out the sound of his friends arguing when Yami came to him.
'You will see each other again someday.' Yami spoke.
Yugi smiled at his friend. 'So will you.'
Yami smiled back.
Yugi took one last look at the Dark Magician Girl card before putting it in his deck belt with his other cards. "Hey guys! Why don't we go get some burger?"
"Alright! Yugi's the man with the plan!" Joey said as he mussed up Yugi's hair. "Hey! Tea's treating!"
"Am not!"
"How come? Did you spend all your money on the skunk that sprayed you?" Joey snickered.
"Joey, you are so DEAD! Get back here!" Tea shouted as she chased after him.
"Let's go on ahead without them. They'll catch up." Tristen spoke.
"Quite right." Bakura agreed.
"Tell you guys what, burgers are on me. Just don't tell that to Joey and Tea!" Tristen winked. "Joey would eat right through my wallet!"
Bakura and Yugi laughed, knowing Joey is known for his bottomless pit like stomach. They hurried on ahead while Tea was still after Joey.
"Ow! I was only kidding, Tea! Can't you take a joke?! OW! Jeez, Tea, what do you have in that purse of yours?! Bricks?! OW!"
*******
THE END! It is finally done! *sigh of relief* I hope this story wasn't too bad. Once again, please forgive any dueling technicalities! I had such a hard time writing the duels! Well, does the summery of the story make sense now? Yami got his love back and Yugi got his cards back! See? Thanks to all my readers who stuck with me throughout this story! Hope to see you all review again in my other stories! Please review this one too! Thanks! Luv ya!

Yugi took one last look at the Dark Magician Girl card before putting it in his deck belt with his other cards. "Hey guys! Why don't we go get some burger?"
"Alright! Yugi's the man with the plan!" Joey said as he mussed up Yugi's hair. "Hey! Tea's treating!"
"Am not!"
"How come? Did you spend all your money on the skunk that sprayed you?" Joey snickered.
"Joey, you are so DEAD! Get back here!" Tea shouted as she chased after him.
"Let's go on ahead without them. They'll catch up." Tristen spoke.
"Quite right." Bakura agreed.
"Tell you guys what, burgers are on me. Just don't tell that to Joey and Tea!" Tristen winked. "Joey would eat right through my wallet!"
Bakura and Yugi laughed, knowing Joey is known for his bottomless pit like stomach. They hurried on ahead while Tea was still after Joey.
"Ow! I was only kidding, Tea! Can't you take a joke?! OW! Jeez, Tea, what do you have in that purse of yours?! Bricks?! OW!"

THE END! It is finally done! *sigh of relief* I hope this story wasn't too bad. Once again, please forgive any dueling technicalities! I had such a hard time writing the duels! Well, does the summery of the story make sense now? Yami got his love back and Yugi got his cards back! See? Thanks to all my readers who stuck with me throughout this story! Hope to see you all review again in my other stories! Please review this one too! Thanks! Luv ya!
