I Am The Dark Magician Girl

Disclaimer: I do own Yu-Gi-Oh!. Oh wait...(looks through a few things) never mind. Kazuki Takahashi does.

"Are you sure you're ready Dark Magician Girl?" asked my master. "This training will be harder than usual." I nodded. I've been studying magic for a while, so I'm fine. Besides, I've Dueled before, even if it was only once!

"Right," I said. This couldn't be so hard. I just wave my wand and some magic would appear. It would take some concentration, but it'd be easy. That IS what I did in my previous Duel. "I'm ready." But it's strange. As soon as I said that, my mind began to shift from one thought to another. Like...did he, Master I mean, really mean what he said? Or...what happened to Arkana. But, my attention was mainly focused on the first thought. Does he...love...me? I was snapped out of my thoughts when small bursts of dark energy exploded around me. One managed to burst in front of me. "Wha-?!" I gasped as I fell backwards.

"Dark Magician Girl!" Master said, rushing towards me. "Are you all right?" I nodded weakly. It felt like my mind was swimming around in my head. "That was one of my weaker attacks. So, are you all right?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

"N...no" I said. "It just kinda surprised me."

"I told you to stay on guard," he said. His voice was stern. He frowned at me.

"I—I........." I whispered looking down. I didn't want him to be mad at me. I didn't want him to turn back to the kind of guy he was. I like the new master. He's been so much nicer since that Duel. "I'm sorry."

"No," he said, shaking his head. "I shouldn't have gotten angry. I'm the one who should be sorry." I smiled in relief. He's not mad at me anymore. I spotted someone running at full speed towards us.

Oh! I know who he is! "Hey, Magician of Black Chaos!" I yelled, hoping to get his attention. He's actually pretty nice when you get to know him. He was this big jerk before, but now, he's okay. Heh, I guess. "What's the big hurry?" He slowed down long enough to say a few words.

"New...monster..." he panted, trying to catch his breath. "Everyone...there!" He stopped to take a few more deep breaths, but we got the point.

"Oh wow!" I gasped. It seemed kind of childish at the moment. I blushed when both mages looked at me. "Um...Can we go, Master?" I asked, hopefully. "We can go with..." I stopped because saying the Magician of Black Chaos' name all the time can get very tiring "...him!" I finally said.

"Well," said Master. I knew that I have a test coming up and I had hoped that he'd forget. Unfortunately, for me, he has a very good memory. The magician beside him seemed to take my side.

"Hey, Come on Dark!" he said. He liked to give everyone a nickname. He gave me the name DMG. Well, that makes sense, right? "You've gotta loosen up a bit! I mean, you can't go though life without a bit of fun, right Dark?"

"Hm" said my master. "First of all, my name isn't Dark. It's Dark Magician" Master didn't like the nickname he gave him. "Second of all, Dark Magician Girl—" he said that loudly. I suppose he doesn't like the nickname the Magician of Black Chaos gave me either. "—has a test on magic today, so I don't know..."

"Oh come one, Master!" I begged. "We'll be back soon! We can just see who the new monster is! Pretty please?" I think that did it.

He sighed. "Very well, but we're coming right back when you meet him"

The Magician of Black Chaos nudged him. "It could be a girl you know" Master just looked at him like he had just grown an extra arm. Which wasn't very rare. You could have seven eyes here...but that isn't the point, you know?

We arrived at the place where you meet the monster. It seems that it's a girl from all the whispers I hear around me. "Didya hear? The new monster's real cute!" and "I heard that she's a light monster".

I couldn't see anything. "Uh...Master?" I asked. "Could you tell me what you see?" He is a lot taller than me now that I think about it. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crowd when a golden cloud appeared. It was a custom for that to happen. Golden clouds mean that he or she is a light monster. Black clouds meant dark. It goes on like that. "What's going on?" I asked.

"It looks like...the Dark Witch" he told me. "Oohs" and "ahs" came from the guys.

I just stared at my master blankly. "Who?" He looked at me and smiled. "Dark Witch. A level five fairy monster with 1800 attack and 1700 defense" he said. "All right. We've seen her, so let's go."

"Right. Hey, Master? Why's she called Dark Witch when she's a light/fairy monster?" I don't think that was it, but for some reason, I didn't feel comfortable around her.

"I have no clue."

"Oh hey!" a voice called out. It was sweet and silky. My master turned around and so did I. It was that new monster. She really was pretty. With her raven black hair and pretty much perfect body. Bleh. "Hello! I'm the Dark Witch! You must be the Dark Magician" he nodded. "Good. You have been in the town the longest right?" he nodded again. "So, can you show me around?" She gave my master an attractive look that I did NOT like.

There were a lot of groans from the guys. "Aw! Dark Magician always gets the girls!" and "Hey! What about me? I've been here second longest!" I looked at my master. He didn't say anything for a moment.

Then, he said. "I don't know. We have to be going-"

"It's all right!" I burst in. My master looked at me. "I'll go with her," I said. I'm determined to find out why I didn't like her so much. Was it because that she is a light monster and I'm a dark? Or perhaps it's because she's a fairy type monster and I'm a spellcaster..."If it's all right with you master." I added quickly.

"Yes. You may go, but hurry back when you're finished. Do you understand?"

"Yup!"

As I was explaining everything to the newcomer, I felt more and more tense around her. It's definitely something about her. I could sense that she didn't feel comfortable around me either. Soon, we were nearing my home. Well, it's my master's but I live with him. When I had clarified everything to her, she asked, "What's your name?" her grip around her spear that she was conveniently carrying, might I add, tightened.

"Um, Dark Magician Girl. I......... think I told you that earlier during the tour........." I said hesitantly. Is it just me, or did her face just darken a bit?.

"I see. So you're the Dark Magician's apprentice" she said. "Is there some connection between you and your master?" her spear raised. I have no clue what's going on.

"Uh..." I started. That sentence just made thoughts explode in my mind. And I thought it was bad during my training. Half thought ideas and...thoughts went through my mind like a wave. "Well..." I said to bide my time a bit more. He did say he loved me in my Duel...but he acts like nothing happened after that...He could be just waiting for the right time...where did THAT come from...But, why is he now being so nice?...he probably realizes that he's staying with me a bit longer that he wants...but he said that he di-I was soon snapped from my thoughts by the Dark Witch.

"You can't answer me, can you?" she said, with her spear pointed at me. "So does he ......... love you?"

"I don't know!" I answered truthfully.

"Want to fight for him?"

"Who?"

"The Dark Magician!" she said, sounding very exasperated.

"What?!" I asked. Wait a minute. No wonder she was all cute with him! She must like him! "I-!" I stopped. Her spear was headed for me! I quickly blocked it with my wand. "Stop!" She wouldn't quit! I was practically begging for her to stop while parrying and dodging her attacks. She is amazingly fast! I got a few scratches and cuts but that was all. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I gave up trying to make her stop. I managed to get a good distance away from her (about two feet) and raised my wand. "Dark B—"

"Hey! What's going on?" shouted someone. It's the Flame Swordsman! My master was with him. Actually, my master was sprinting up to us while he was running behind him.

"I-" I was quickly cut short by that witch. She knocked me down and went back to her charming self, which I now know is completely fake!

"Oh! I'm so glad you're here!" she squealed. "I was just asking Dark Magician Girl a question and she just attacked me!" the Flame Swordsman looked at her.

"I don't know" he said. "DMG's not the kind to do that" Whew! He's on my side!

Master nodded "Yes, I agree with—wait. What did you call her?"

"Oh, come on!" the Dark Witch cried. "You've got to believe me!" she even added a few fake tears. Oh, I really hate her now.

"Well, DM-er Dark Magician Girl" said the Flame Swordsman scratching his head. "I suppose because this is the first time you've-"

"What?!" I burst out. "How can you say that?! I never attacked her!" I normally am never like this, but I HATE getting blamed for something I didn't do. I got more scratched up than her! "You're just taking her side because—!"

"That's enough Dark Magician Girl," said my master. "Let's go." I nodded, but gave a final look at the Dark Witch. Ugh. She's flirting with the Flame Swordsman! I can't believe her.

"Everyone calls me Maya!" she said. "And thank you so much for saving me!" she added, making him blush. I bit my lip. I really didn't want to say anything inappropriate.

"Um, master?" I asked when we got home. "You do believe what I said right?" I was almost afraid of what he'd say. His back was turned to me and I couldn't see the expression on his face.

"Yes. I do," he said, calmly.

"Really?" I asked. I couldn't believe what he had just said! "Um..." I wonder if he just said it because he didn't want to go further in to the topic. Heck, I'll risk it. "Why?"

"Because..." he paused and turned to me. He smiled. He still doesn't smile very often, but now, it's not cold. It's actually kind. It always gives me a warm feeling inside. I hope he smiles more often. "Because..." he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Because, you're just...special to me" I felt myself turning red.

"I-I..." I couldn't say it. This is the perfect time and I can't say it! A quick feeling went through me. It was only for a second. It came to my master also. It seems so familiar...what was it again? Oh, of course!

"A Duel!" We said in unison.

Then...I was summoned.

I came out in the Duel, though I wasn't summoned; I was set. I had to hold on to my hat to keep it from falling off. I looked at my opponent. Oh! This is great. I can't believe this! I'm up against a God Card. "You just activated my dragon's special effect!" Yugi's challenger sneered. And he's right. It's second mouth opened and an enormous amount of energy blasted through. What can I do? I couldn't move. Frozen with fear because I'm about to witness a God Card's fury. The golden light tore through the air towards me. I closed my eyes, hoping for the best.

"Not so fast!" came Yugi's voice. I opened my eyes to darkness. This is......... most likely not the Graveyard. I tried standing up, but there wasn't much room. What's going on? Where am I? Suddenly, something knocked me down. It was the blackish...thing. Oh wait! I get it now! I'm in the Magical Hats! Yugi's just putting a couple of traps in. Does he really have to jumble the hats up? Okay, it's still. Now, I have to wait. Whether the dragon's attack is true of not.

It was true. The dragon's fire ripped up the hat that I was hidden in. It's the end! Oh, no!

I mean, yes! Magic Cylinders!! In goes that attack and out it comes!

And it hits that blue blob. Just my luck! Uh-oh. It's attacking again! I looked at Yugi for a brief second to see if he has anymore tricks up his sleeves(er.). None. My attention focused on the dragon just in time to see its attack.

I screamed. I didn't think it would hurt so much...Every second was like an hour! I was a hologram so I didn't think it would hurt at all! I was so wrong! I opened my eyes to see a tombstone. THIS is the Graveyard then. Eeep. This place gives me the creeps! Looking around, I observed that there weren't a lot of monsters here. Except for the Reaper of Cards. Why is it heading right towards me? What is it—I've got to get out of here!
