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:
Life points: Mai: 1850, Zuzumea: 2000 Cards on the Field: Mai: none, Zuzumea: One face down trap card and one card in defence. Cards in Zuzumea's hand: I pity you if you haven't figured it out by NOW. Ok, at least one of them is Change of Heart.
(By the way, this part is going to be really boring. I'm just going to end the duel as quickly as possible, while still drawing the actual cards, meaning I won't be nice on Mai anymore, to create suspense. Of course, I'll be the winner because although I don't really control my cards, I control Mai's. Strange, ne?)
Mai looked at Zuzumea cautiously and set down a defence monster, not to mention another trap card. Zuzumea sighed. She drew a magic card, glanced at it, showed it to Yugi before showing it to anyone else. While Ryou, Joey, Tristan, Tea and Mai "ooh" -ed and "ah" -ed, Yugi was busy taking off 800 lifepoints from Mai. The card that Zuzumea just drew was Ookazi, which took off 800 lifepoints of the opponent. She then directed an attack to Mai's face down card using her Dark Magician. She really didn't understand why everyone claimed that Mai was such a top-rank duellist. Not that Mai wasn't good, but Zuzumea found her to be no more than some of the tougher boys she'd duelled at her old school. But then again, not everyone spent twenty minutes each night inspecting and fine tuning their decks, not to mention dreaming up counter strategies for just about every monster she knew existed.
An evil smile crept into Mai's face when she saw the card that she drew next. After setting down a monster in defence, just in case, she slapped a card on the table with a triumphant though good-natured grin. Yugi leaned closer to see which card it was and shuddered, as did Ryou. For it was the card that had reduced Yami's lifepoints to 500 when he duelled Bakura in the Shadow Realm: Just Deserts. It took off 500 lifepoints for each monster the opponent had on the field, which brought Zuzumea down to one thousand, fifty less than Mai.
Zuzumea was slightly alarmed, though settled back to smiling when she drew her next card: Stop Defence. Mai grimaced as her monster, Silver Fang, was forced into Attack Mode. She knew that the duel was over, and she hadn't even had a chance to play Harpy's Pet Dragon! Zuzumea started to gather her cards, for by mutual agreement the duel was over. Mai reached over and turned over Zuzumea's face down trap card.
"Dragon Capture Jar!" She exclaimed, looking at Zuzumea with a smile dawning on her face. Zuzumea nodded happily. "Know thine enemy." She muttered. "I have a large database on most famous duellist and some of their famous duels. Even Rebecca Arthur." She added to Yugi, who blushed a bit. Ryou was busy explaining to Tristan why the two girls didn't finish the duel when Joey demanded, in a friendly drawl,
"And do you have anything on me in dat database o' yours?" Zuzumea grinned. She decided, after this serious duelling, that it was time to have a bit of 'fun', so to speak.
"Sure." She replied, putting her cards in the holder that was strapped on her belt. "Lots of stuff. But they all seem to be associated with one Seto Kaiba, and, uh, what he thinks of you." She enjoyed the moment when everyone laughed as Joey's face flushed a deep red. "And, uh, Kaiba doesn't seem to think that highly of you...Puppy." She said the last part as a jest, and Joey knew it, but he still couldn't help chasing her around the living room, and she couldn't help giggling as she constantly danced out of his reach. Ryou looked on with a bit of jealousy at how easily Joey interacted with her. If he tried to do that, he'd resemble a tomato.
~*~*~Later, with Ryou and Bakura~*~*~
"Not that I care, but how was your rendezvous with the girl of your dreams?" Bakura asked coldly, sitting on the sofa, watching as his Aibou went about the house, throwing together a simple dinner. "Just keep out of it." Ryou snapped. Bakura growled. Being nice wasn't going to get him anywhere; he'd learned that a long time ago. But for some reason, there was innocence inside of Ryou that drove him to it. He held up his hands and tried to calm himself.
"Whoa." He muttered, then thought for a while. "Well at least I got her attention for you, didn't I?" He demanded, referring to the incident when he stole of Kaiba's laptops and set it on a piece of driftwood, pushing it out to the Domino River. Kaiba had chased him halfway over town for that, and that sight obviously amused Asophyre. He didn't even know why he was helping his Hikari, as that romance, if there was to be any, would surely lead to disaster that Bakura himself brought upon Asophyre, but then again, he didn't know why he wasn't mind crushing this frustrating mortal, either.
Ryou receded a bit. Though still mad at his Yami, he wasn't so venomous anymore. Grumbling unpleasantly, he slipped into his seat and began to eat the fries on his plate, leaving his Darker Half to fathom the purpose of game shows.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Yami the Second looked very grave when Asophyre saw him again. That was a week after their first meeting. When she entered the throne room, telling herself that if Bakura went against the law, there was nothing she could do, she found Yami standing with his back to her, looking at the inscriptions on the wall behind his throne. In his right hand he clutched a piece of crumpled papyrus. In front of the throne a boy, no older than Asophyre, was kneeling, apparently awaiting new orders. Yami sighed and turned to him.
"Very well. Go back to your village. Tell them that I will be sending sentries to protect them as soon as possible." The messenger bowed and left, hurrying past Asophyre. It is only now that Yami noticed her. And she was surprised at the crow's feet that have srpung up at the end of his eyes during that short week. He greeted her cordially, but it was evident that his mind was on something else. After the formalities, and after they were sitting comfortably around a table with a mug of water in front of each of them, he voiced his concerns.
"It's getting worse." He said, and that seemed to explain all. He was staring at his mug and re-reading the piece of papyrus he had in his hand. Asophyre, still unsure of her position, didn't say anything though her heart was bursting with curiosity. Finally, he pushed the parchment across the table. She snatched it up at once, trying and failing not to look too eager to read it and began deciphering the hieroglyphics.
"Revered Yami the Second, Pharaoh and rightful Ruler of Egypt," The papyrus read, in stunningly clear writing. Asophyre found that she could never write clearly enough for it to be understood by all who read it. But she brushed that from her mind and continued to read. "The village of Meley is unfortunate to report further raids by the rebel group known as The Danger of the Desert. They were originally after the tomb of the late revered Pharaoh Jainkoh the fifth, but when our villagers refused to provide information as to aid them in robbing the magnificent pyramid, they burned a handful of our houses, terrorized the children and stole a considerable amount of livestock. As you are surely aware, The Danger of the Desert is led by one Ryou Bakura, and we would like to please your highness to undertake some action concerning these bandits. Yours loyally and faithfully, Elder of Meley."
"This is the seventh letter I've received this week, all similar." Yami explained when he saw that she'd finished. She simply looked at him, not sure what to make of this news, or even if her heart believed that the same Bakura she had known is now threatening whole of Egypt.*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
PP: This dream is by no means over. I just thought this would be a good place to end it. The next chapter is probably going to be all dream.
YPP: Why don't I know what you're going to write? It's my past!
PP: Well...uh...maybe...um...I've learned how to tap into the power of the Millennium Pen, and, uh, Bakura showed me how to reveal my Yami's past...
YPP: I wasn't aware that you knew Bakura in real life.
PP: I don't...I mean, YEAH!
YPP: *Throws flowers at Jenny* You're the only mortal with promise!!! Go girl!!!
