Konnichiwa! Another chapter up, with more information on the new
tournament, and
here's the second one over Christmas. Sorry for no people, but the bad guys block seems
to be working.
Jenny (appears): I wish. (points to Jinx in the distance)
Robin (appears as well as the other Teen Titans): Titans, GO! (However, Jenny paralyzes
Jinx and sends everyone else back to their dimensions except for herself and
Draconmouth)
Draconmouth (with dot eyes): Guess I better change that to all villains from every
dimension. Antagonists are included because Kaiba is ready to kill me for getting
Mokuba and Michelle kidnapped. My only defense is that it's part of the plot. Now, ON
WITH THE FIC!!

=Duel Monsters talking
A ring on the doorbell came to Sakura's attention. "Juri-san! Smithson- san!"
Sakura exclaimed happily in Japanese, and while Juri was able to understand it,
Annemarie had a blank look on her face. /What is she saying?\ Annemarie asked her
friend. /She just said your name\ Juri replied. "Konbawa [good evening}", she greeted
Sakura, for it was indeed evening. "Oh no", Touya looked up from his cooking with an
evil grin, "another kaijobu is here." Instantly Juri rounded on him. "Watashiwa iie
kaijobu desu! [I am not a monster!](I think, could someone correct me if I'm wrong?)"
and then Little card used its effect. Later Touya rubbed his shoulder painfully. Fujitaka
smiled amiably at the three girls. "I heard you had good cooking, Kinomoto- kun", Juri
said as they put down their suitcases. Sakura watched wide-eyed as Annemarie pulled out
a tennis racket. /Annemarie! What were you thinking?\ Juri asked Annemarie surprised.
/They don't call me Double A for nothing\the girl answered. Juri laughed. "Do you play
tennis?" she asked Sakura as Annemarie brought out another racket and a canister of
balls. "Hai", Sakura nodded, "but where will we play?" /When there was no court, we
usually played against the back of my house if my dad didn't mind\, Annemarie motioned
for translation. Sakura understood after Juri explained. "Okay", they both went
downstairs, Juri right behind them. They both began to play, and were very close in
points. Sakura had played tennis before, of course, but Annemarie had been on the team
back at school. Juri watched with a smile.
She watched as Ji-Shan began to play cricket with Clow. ^You know it's not
common for a woman to play as well as a man^, Clow said. ^I'm a fast learner^, Ji-Shan
answered, and rolled the ball. Clow magically put a spell on the bell it would fly above
Ji-Shan's head. ^Element wind!^ she shouted, making the ball fly into her hand. ^Ji-Shan,
that's cheating!^ Ying called. ^Tell him that, Ying^, Ji-Shan pointed to Clow. He was still
wearing the ring she had given him, the friendship ring. Ying had made him promise
never to take it off until he found someone that he loved most.
Juri shook her head. Someone was coming. "Dare da? [who's there?]." The figure
pulled off his sunglasses. "My name is Hiiragizawa Eriol", the boy said. Juri bowed, as
was the custom in Japan. "Watashiwa Fujimoto Juri desu [I am Juri Fujimoto](someone
correct me if I'm wrong again)", Eriol bowed also, and called, "Sakura- chan!" "Eriol-
kun!" Sakura stopped playing, and ran to greet him. Annemarie was introduced to him,
and found, to her delight, that he spoke English. Juri knew most about him, but she didn't
tell. "Eriol-kun?" Fujitaka called from outside. "Could I talk to you for a minute?" "In the
meantime", Juri said she wanted to go to a bookshop that Naoko liked. The girls got
ready and walked their. To their surprise, they found Jenny their, reading from one of her
books in Japanese. "' Music is one of the joys of Earth, if not a piece from Heaven
itself'", Jenny read, "' But religion didn't apply to him, so he kept on playing.'" /Jen!\
Annemarie exclaimed in surprise, and Jenny greeted them, /I was on a book tour for
Japan, and decided to stop here.\ /Why didn't you tell us?\ Jane asked. /And ruin the
surprise?\ Jenny had her evil grin on. Juri hid a smile. "I'll be at Penguin Park", she said,
going outside. Her shoes converted to roller blades (handy gadget of Michelle's) and she
bladed to Penguin Park. No one was there, and she breathed in the evening air. Normally
she would have stayed with Jenny, but she had felt a sense of foreboding. Something bad
was going to happen. She gripped her key "The key that holds power beyond Earth, the
Fujimoto line will control you only! I, Juri, command you to reveal your true form. Re-"
Two things happened at once. One someone had twisted her arm behind her back, and
two, clapped a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She twisted hard, and
considered stomping on her captor's foot, when something glowed and she became dizzy.
Not airhead dizzy, the kind she felt before asleep. And she passed out. The figure looked
at her prone form. "I told you I would be back", he said. His ring glowed again, and the
cards were bound to their inanimate form. "Soon I will have my revenge." (Okay, guess
who it is. It shouldn't be too hard if you've been paying attention.)
At that moment Jenny felt the evil magic. /Jen, what is it?\ Annemarie asked her.
/Something's happened to Jane. Go check on her.\ Eriol came up. /Let me go with you\
he said, a frown upon his face. "Hai", Annemarie said, and they both left at top speed.
They stopped. /Look\, Annemarie pointed to the ground, /that's Jane-I mean Juri's Earth
key. She never takes it off.\ Eriol picked it up.^Somebody help!^ Ying screamed as man
twisted her arm, and held a knife to her throat. Clow ran until he was within a five foot
radius, but he didn't dare go farther. "Let her go now", he said bravely, as brave as a
sixteen-year old could. Behind him Cerberus and Yue were behind him, waiting to strike
at their master's command. ^Clow, don't-!^ Ying screamed, but the man held the knife
closer. Clow had to think. Then a card appeared in front of him. It read Dark. He
activated it, and pulled Ying loose before they were covered in darkness. They ran hard,
until they reached Clow's house. Clow could hear Ying's thoughts practically. ^I wish I
could do something on my own, without anyone's help^, he heard her think, and felt bad
. /Eriol? Earth to Eriol\ Annemarie waved a hand around his face. He shook himself out
of his trance. /I'm fine\, he managed to say while Annemarie examined the key. /The
chain is broken, meaning a sign of struggle. Some kidnapped her!\ She then looked at
Eriol. /How do you know about the Clow and Fujimoto cards, anyway?\ Eriol began to
explain, and Annemarie was wide-eyed. / I have so got to learn more about this\ the girl
replied later. They walked on, using Eriol's magic to locate Jane. They hoped they
weren't too late.
Michelle and Mokuba continued to fall. "Hang on!" Michelle used a suction hook
tied to a very long cord. They came to a stop as it made contact with the wall. Both
breathed. "The only problem is how to get back up", Michelle tried to make note of the
walls to estimate how far they had fallen. It was hard to do in the dark, but her foot found
a ledge on the opposite wall. It was very wide and long, and she guided Mokuba to it.
There seemed to be a door. She felt the knob a turned it carefully. To her surprise, it was
unlocked. "Suspicious", she muttered, "In an ordinary elevator the door is locked when
there are no cars. This could be a trap." She opened it carefully. At first there was
blinding light, then there was an empty corridor. Michelle put a foot into it. "It looks
safe", she reported, "but I wouldn't be too sure." She put another foot in, and pulled
Mokuba into the corridor. "This isn't nii-sama's (All right! I finally got the name right!)
building", he said. "Chronophic powers transported us here. We must have gone through
a portal while we were falling", Michelle replied through gritted teeth. Suddenly a man
jumped in front of them. "Armed Ninja!" both Mokuba and Michelle shouted. "Run,
Mokuba!" the two began running until Armed Ninja slammed Michelle into a wall where
she fell unconscious trying to protect Mokuba and fight back. And Mokuba knew only
one thing; come quietly. But he wouldn't. The Armed Ninja, however, didn't like his
decision, as it threw a net around the boy and dragged him from Michelle. A woman in
sunglasses surveyed the scene through cameras. "Excellent", she whispered.
Liuka and Kaiba had heard the screams. "Michelle!" "Mokuba!" They ran to the
elevator, where Liuka beat him by a few inches. It wasn't a time for arguments. Kaiba
pounded the elevator button, but the ordinary door opened. Liuka examined the floor.
/Very original\ she commented. "Nani?" Kaiba asked her. /Apparently whoever
kidnapped Michelle and Mokuba made an alternate elevator. That one they would go
through, and then disappear. So, apparently this person -or people- is a cinemopho. Only
those type of people could actually make something of the sort.\ Kaiba examined the
floor also. /There's nothing we can do now\ his tone was grim. They went back, and then
Kaiba's secretary called and said there were invitations for a dueling tournament; the
Card Wars. Kaiba and Liuka each found in them five very small lights that were stuck to
their most powerful card and would go out as they lost duels, known as LOQs (Lights of
Qualification. Bad pun, I know); the letter of acceptance explaining the rules (Special
Summons waited one turn as well as Tribute monsters and Rituals, no sacrifices except
specified on the card, and magic cards could be activated as trap cards); an airplane ticket
(the duel would take place in America); a duel disk; and a small typed note. It read: I'm
sure you'll enter. After what happened so far. There was no signature. /I guess we have
no choice\, Liuka was hard pressed. She put on the duel disk, took her deck, and walked
out. She looked at Kaiba. /You coming?\ she asked. Kaiba followed her suit and ran after
Michelle's cousin.
