PP: I just uploaded chapter six and thought I'd get a head start while I
have March Break.
YPP: Smart girl, aren't you?
PP: I try. So since I have no clue about my review status, I can't list them...This chapter will be to humour myself and also to reveal whom wins, my namesake, or Mai.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. There, I said it. Now go off and jump in a lake or something. No...WAIT...WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? I didn't mean it literally, you baka!!! *Splash* There goes my new tank top...*Shakes fist* If you were going to jump in the lake, mind you that you don't splash some good-looking chick!!!
PP: You're not a chick; you're a disclaimer. You're neutral!
Disclaimer: *Blush* Uh...yes...neutral...
PP: *Jumps up and grabs suit* YAMI!!!!
YPP: Oops...fine, I was the disclaimer.
PP: Why?
YPP: Just the little matter of the previous disclaimer having been reduced to cinder while I was juggling with flamethrowers...

Yami is the spirit that resides in the millennium item, and Hikari is the real person.
//Zuzumea's thoughts in her dream//
/Yami talking to Hikari/
~* Start/end of the dream*~
Recap: Duel. Mai: 2000. Zuzumea: 2000. Cards on the field: None. Cards in Zuzumea's hand: *Cackle* what makes you think I'm going to tell you?
"Real mistake, honey!" Mai proclaimed, surveying Zuzumea's monster, which was in defence mode, with interest. She drew a card and put it in her hand, obviously trying to hide a gleeful smile. "I play Harpy Lady in attack mode and use The Elegant Egotist, which triples my Harpy and raises its Attack power to 1950! Now, I attack your face-down card." Zuzumea chuckled, startling her opponent, who was in the middle of turning her card over. "Huh?" Mai asked, her hand on Zuzumea's card.
"Just because I've never played you doesn't mean I don't know your strategies. I've read every single piece of information there is to be gathered about Duellist Kingdom. And Joey's little website wasn't useless, either." She winked at the blond standing behind her. Joey blushed.
"A little vain, aren't we, Joey buddy?" Tristan asked with an air of superiority. Joey dived for him and soon they were rolling on the floor.
"Right." Mai commented, turning back to the game. "As interesting as this may turn out to be, I have a duel to win." She turned over the card and yelped when she saw what it was.
"Dark Magician!" Zuzumea told her proudly. "Took me a Wall Shadow and a Magical Labyrinth to trade for that. Besides, my Yami said I should get it." /I think I know why/ She told her Yami, giggling. Even though her Yami was in the soul chamber, she could still feel its blush. /A little bit nervous around cute lil' Pharaoh, aren't we?/ She teased. Mai had turned her Harpy into the Graveyard. Yugi, who was in chare of deduction lifepoints, scratched 150 off Mai's total.
"That was my last Harpy..." Mai muttered, staring at Zuzumea. "Even Yugi didn't have it this easy, but he was real preoccupied. The other friends, who had been at Duellist Kingdom, looked at each other uncomfortably. They never got around to telling Mai about Yugi's puzzle, which means they never told her the reason Yugi duelled badly that day.
"Do you use the heart of the cards, too?" Mai asked jokingly. Although she used her heart more, and trusted her cards, she wasn't a complete 'believer' as Joey calls it.
"As a matter of fact, yes." Zuzumea said, smiling. /You go, little one!/ Her Yami told her. As usual, she felt a slight pang of annoyance. /I am not little!/ She retorted, knowing that her Yami would be laughing her head off.
"I still have a few tricks up my sleeve though!" Mai told her, waiting for Zuzumea to pick up a card.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"WHAT'S WITH YOU???" Ryou yelled angrily at his spirit. "DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN MY LIFE??? I ALREADY WENT AGAINST MY FRIENDS!!! ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU, TOMB ROBBER??? OH, SO NOW I CAN'T EVEN GO TO A SIMPLE GET- TOGETHER????" Bakura scowled. He did not appreciate being reminded of his former profession. But he nevertheless looked at the raging Ryou in front of him with a strange, deadly, but fascinated silence. This is the second time his Hikari has blown his top in so many days. Ever since that Zuzumea kid arrived. History was repeating itself, and once again, to his advantage.
"By Ra, I told you, that girl is dangerous!" Bakura explained, trying to maintain his cool. He didn't like being nice, preferring to be cold, and cruel. It's not surprising, after all that he's experienced. But what annoyed him was that he felt a slight bit of concern for his Hikari. (THIS IS NOT YOAI!!! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT YOAI!!!) He didn't want his vessel to get hurt. No one had been able to lower the solid wall of defence he's built up around himself for millennia. He's met enchantresses and princesses, and none of them have stirred his heart, which was boiling with hate. But he didn't want his vessel to get hurt.
Curse you, Ryou, he snarled silently. Aloud, he snapped, "She isn't good for you.
"Since when have you cared about MY well-being?" Ryou retorted coldly. "Besides, how would you know what's good for me? Let me refresh your memory: YOU were the one who turned me against my friends; YOU were the one who tried to hurt Yugi countless times; YOU were the one who used me to try and get his puzzle, and now YOU are the one who is destroying whatever chances I have of getting the girl I wanted."
Bakura felt himself go hot. "But she does not want you, that is the thing I have been trying to explain to you. She wants the pharaoh." He turned on his heels and strolled out of the soul room. He needed to cool down. He sifted out in his spirit form and left the house, cursing profusely in Egyptian.
"ARGH!" Ryou snapped at the air. He ran downstairs and towards Yugi's house. He didn't believe that Yugi would betray Mai. Well, technically, it wouldn't be betraying, since they weren't going out. But Zuzumea...she's enough to turn boys' heads, that's for sure. Then why aren't Joey and Tristan attracted??? Maybe it has something to do with the millennium items? He sighed, knowing he was grasping at straws. He stopped short in front of the Kame Game Shop and waited till his breathing had steadied before going into the shop. He greeted Mr. Motou briefly before going into the back, where they usually hang out.
"Hey guys. What have I missed?" He asked, trying to shake the previous events from his head. "Oh, you're duelling, are you?" He stated simply, sitting beside Yugi and staring at Zuzumea's cards. Or at least, that's what he appeared to do. Rather, he was staring at her hair, thinking how smooth and beautiful it was, against her white shirt. (A/N: AHEM!!!) He didn't notice any peculiar cards in her hand until Joey nudged him.
"See dat card dere?" He asked in his curious Brooklyn accent. Ryou jerked back to reality and saw, with a start, which card Joey was pointing to. He nodded.
Zuzumea grimaced at her card. Ah well, can't ask for everything in life. She placed a monster in defence and ended her turn.
