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.

Hey! Even though there's no new episode with DMG in it, I couldn't leave her in the Graveyard!

I shivered behind a tombstone. The Graveyard's pretty cold. I'm doing everything I can to keep my mind from wandering about where that Reaper of Cards was. He scares the living daylights out of me.

A loud moan made me jump up from my hiding place. That was the dumbest thing I've done in my life. Well, to now anyway. The Reaper of Cards just did that to make me get out of my hiding place so he could catch me. I knew I wouldn't stand a chance against this guy. I'm not sure if my attack was lower than his, but I'm really really scared of him.

"S—stay away from me!" I stammered, letting him know that I was afraid. Oops. "Oh-the heck with it!" I yelled and ran away.

"You...won't...get...away..." he said with his chilling voice. I didn't even know that he could talk!

"No," I yelled back, "But, by Ra, I can try!" I ran faster, but he just glided effortlessly in the air. He soon caught up to me and swung his scythe at me. "Agh!" I cried as I fell down. That blade sliced through my helmet as if it wasn't even armor, which it is! He raised his scythe above his head and brought it down. "N-no!" I cried. "Help!!!"

I didn't feel anything. I opened my eyes to see that he was leaving. I didn't bother to find out why, I just ran as fast as could the opposite direction. "There has to be a way out of here!" I muttered, running past a few tombstones.

A sudden feeling ran through me. Yugi won the Duel! "All right!" I whispered, stopping for a few seconds. Wait! Is that light? I ran up a hill and I nearly fell down in pure astonishment when I got to the top! This was just the Graveyard in the town! I've never been here until now, but I didn't realize that it was THIS easy to get out! Cursing myself for being so dumb, I ran towards the entrance of the cemetery.

"I can not...let you...leave!" A dark cloak appeared out of nowhere and turned in to the Reaper of Cards. He was blocking my path. Still, he can't hurt me now, because the Duel is over! Master always said that attack and defense never mattered when you're outside an official Duel! Why should it matter now?

"I don't have time for this!" I yelled, running faster and taking a leap in the air. My plan was to land behind him, but instead, I bounced on him and THEN landed behind him. I almost laughed when he yelled death threats at me from the ground. Almost.

I didn't stop until I was far away from that place. "Ra!" I gasped. "I'm never going back there again! Not even if Obelisk makes me!" Then I thought for a moment and said, "Unless I'm sent there again in a Duel..." Looking around, I observed that I was in a garden. There were so many beautiful flowers here! There's also a sign that said 'Stay out' Not wishing to get in trouble, I started walking out, but slowly enough to enjoy all the flowers here.

That was a big mistake. I felt something bad was going to happen and I was right! A rustling came from behind me in a bush. I quickly turned around to see a spear coming at me! I blocked it with my wand just in time. "Who's there?" I demanded. That's dumb. I knew that it was the Dark Witch, Maya. "What's the big idea?!" I was now yelling. "What is with you?! Do you really love my master that much?!"

"Oh no," she said, calmly walking out of the bushes. "I just enjoy picking on you"

"Pick on someone your own size!" I yelled, narrowly avoiding her spear.

"We ARE the same size, you idiot!"

It was like that for a few moments. Then the fight, I wasn't fighting, was interrupted by Gyakutenno Megami. "What's going on?!" she demanded. "What are you doing-GET OUT OF MY GARDEN!!!" with that, vines started poking out of the ground. One wrapped itself around my right foot.

"Ah!" Maya cried when one snaked up her leg. She quickly cut it off with her spear and ran away, me right behind her. A shower of petals hailed at us. It really hurt! I didn't think petals could actually be as sharp as a knife! "This is all your fault!" Maya screamed at me.

"Oh shut up!" I yelled, my temper flaring. I just got hit on the back of my head with a branch of some sort. These plants weren't as innocent as they seemed before. "It's not my fault that YOU attacked me!!" We ran out of the garden in, surprisingly, one piece. I didn't stop there, I ran back to my home.

"Dark Magician Girl-"

"Hi Master" I said rushing past him. I ran to my room and opened my window. A cool breeze blew past me and I looked up. I jumped out of my window and climbed on the roof. It's been a while since I've been up here...I can really think up here. It gave me a good view of the rest of the town and nobody can find me up here. I looked down and gulped. Boy, it sure was a long way down...hope I don't fall!

"Whew!" I sighed, sitting down. "What a day!" I got a taste of a God Card's power, got chased by the Reaper of Cards, and I got attacked by a few different varieties of plants. I would say that this is a day that I don't want to repeat.

After a few hours, the sun started to set. I love watching sunsets. I find them so soothing. But, then again, I love almost anything that has something to do with nature. I suppose that's because the Shadow Realm might be close to the real world, but it's still artificial nature. I don't remember much when I was sent here. All I know is that it was to seal the game Duel Monsters or something like that. I do remember waking up in a dark shadowy place and seeing my master...

"Dark Magician Girl?"

"Hm?" I leaned over to see my master's head out of my window. "Oh! What are you doing there?" I asked.

A box with question marks on it suddenly appeared next to me and opened up, revealing my master! "May I ask you the same?" he said, smiling.

"I-uh...well..." I blushed and looked at the sunset. When he smiled like that, I always felt my heart beat faster and I was always lost for words. "I..."

"You wanted to get away from me?"

"What?!" I looked at him. "Of course not!" I exclaimed. He just smiled again and sat down beside me. I could feel myself blushing even more! How does he control all of his emotions so effortlessly? I stared back at the sunset. "Just life."

Soon, night came and all the stars came out. I forgot everything and looked up at the celestial scene.There were so many different constellations, but I didn't know any of them. Master knows a lot. "Do you know them?" I asked, softly. I didn't realize I had said that until it was too late. However, he picked up his staff and pointed to one.

"See that one? The one that looks like a bear?" he asked pointing in that direction.

Unfortunately, I never did have a good sense of direction. I could get through my town okay, but when it came to finding stars, I never did too well. "Nope," I said bluntly.

"Okay, then" he said and a few sparks flew out of his staff. They were a bit bigger and brighter than the stars themselves. They flew over and covered a few stars forming some sort of picture. "Now do you see it?"

"Oh yes!" I said, realizing what it was. "It looks like Silver Fang!"

"Good," said Master. "That's its name. The name that people from the other realm would call it...Ursa Major." The sparks floated off those stars and on to different ones. "That one," said my master. "Its name is Draco."

"But it looks like the Electric Snake!" I said, looking at it and wondering what the heck a 'draco' was.

"And that's its name in the Shadow Realm."

"Wow, how do you know all of this?" I asked him.

"A friend of mine taught me," he answered.

"Oh," I said. "Who was he?"

"She, really," he sighed sadly.

"I see" I said, now wondering who 'she' was and why 'she' made my master so sad. "What was her name?"

"Well, actually, you can find out for yourself later" he said, staring at the stars.

I nodded, but still wondered about it. Soon, it didn't matter to me anymore. I had more fun learning the constellations and soon, I learned all of them. By then, it was almost morning. "Oh wow!" I said. "What's that star?" I asked my master, pointing to a particularly bright one.

"That's Venus," he replied. "It's really a planet...or a copy of one."

"It's so bright," I whispered.

"The Shadow Realm tends to magnify many different stars' and planets' lights" he said. I nodded and yawned. I'm so tired! He noticed this. "Dark Magician Girl, why don't you go to bed now?"

"Yeah. Okay," I said yawning again. "But..." I looked down. Once again, height was an issue.

Master was already walking in the box, which hasn't disappeared yet. "Need help?" I nodded. "Okay, come in." I thanked him and walked in after him. The doors closed.

Nothing really happened. Unless you count the appearance of those swords that almost sliced us . "Ah!" I cried out on accident, but my master didn't say anything. I guess it was because that he was an experienced spellcaster and knew what it was all about. The doors then reopened and I practically ran out. "Oh man," I muttered. "I don't like that box." I said, making my master laugh.
