Hicky: Okay Dokie, well that last chapter was fun.

Trent: Hicky is getting stressed.

Hicky: Shud'up Trent!

Trent: She wrote two chapters for way later on, and then the middle of her fic, and then a bit more after the

middle, and now she's writing the beginning and she has to make it all come together at the right time.

Hicky: You forgot that I have all the stuff planned that they're going to do and I don't know if I'll have enough time... and I'm really happy that not every duel involves Yugi's cards because they need time to do the stuff... Oh, I just found out something... I don't need to have the book mishap happen to early, phew

Trent: Hicky, you shud'up. Hicky don't own Yu-Gi-Oh so don't sue. But the idea is open to any Japanese animators who want to make her show.

Duel Hard

Yami had left Dark, and had returned to his soul room. Dark had gotten dressed in an outfit he found in his cupboards. A medieval-like, light lavender top, and some tight fitting leather pants. Even he had to admit he looked fine. Dark thought about what he had done. He had learned more about himself than he had expected to. He thought about the story Yami had told him. He had been able to picture some of it, Celtic mostly. He went and picked up his sketch book and turned to a new page. He began drawing the image in his mind; Celtic, younger, not so strong, but still powerful. "Hunting with a spear hmm?" Dark thought aloud while drawing it in. When it was finished Dark was pleased. Celtic looked adorable. His skin even looked young, and Dark had made sure to make as much skin show as he thought appropriate. All that was hidden was that which was covered by the wrap like loincloth wore in Ancient Egypt. Dark sighed dreamily as his mind got wrapped up in the drawing. Finally something happened that forced him to close his book and stop staring... a duel.

On one side on the duelling stadium stood Yugi, using Yami's improvements to his body without realizing it, and a child with a bandana around his face and a toque covering his hair.

The child moved first, playing a Man Eating Bug.

Yugi played his Winged Dragon and Guardian of the Fortress and waited for the boy to call an attack.

Man Eater Bug was destroyed as soon as it made it's move. The child seemed shocked but just played another monster and hoped for a better outcome. Crocodilus appeared on his side of the field. The child ranted at Yugi; ranted about his brother's broken spirit and that Yugi was the cause.

Yugi only took moments to put two and two together. He then announced to everyone that this child was the little brother of Seto Kiaba. This child was Mokuba.

Winged Dragon was shocked when Mokuba removed the bandana and the toque, long black hair tumbling down from where it had previously been hidden. 'THAT is a GUY!!!?' He thought.

Mokuba figured by now that he would never be able to defeat Yugi in a duel, so he just popped over to Yugi's side of the stadium and swiped his star chips. With that the duel was over, both sides technically forfeiting.

"What was that?!" Gaia asked. He was sitting on his stead, and was wondering why the duel vibe had left so suddenly.

"It was a duel," Celtic said.

"That wasn't a duel. That was sad. What were there.. two moves? How pathetic is that!" Gaia continued.

"We didn't even take all their life points down," Winged Dragon commented.

"Calm down everyone," Dark said walking into the graveyard where everyone else was standing. Still wearing the outfit mentioned above I might add. "The duel took place and now is over alright?" Everyone agreed.

Mystical Elf looked like she was going to fall over. Her eyes were half closed and her cheeks were bright pink. She had seen Dark. Celtic was the first to notice and ran over to steady her.

"What's the matter? Are you okay?" Celtic asked female elf.

She could barely string a sentence together, and couldn't raise her voice over a whisper. "Dark... wow.... so...... hot...."

"Good grief," Celtic said as he let go of her, not caring if she fell or not. He went over to Dark to let him know. 'Wow,' he thought as he got closer. "Hey Dark Magician, someone's got a crush on you!" Celtic said happily.

Dark felt a little excited, thinking it was Celtic, but alas, "Who?"

"Just over there. Mystical Elf, silly girl," Celtic said.

"Mystical Elf?" Dark asked almost wanting to stick out his tongue and go 'gaah'.

"Yeah, I believe her exact words were 'Dark.... wow... so.... hot....'" Celtic copied her perfectly, right down to the clinging to the closest monster's clothes for support. In this case it was Dark himself.

Dark looked down at Celtic after he had finished clawing and grabbing, seeming very much like a love struck elf. Dark was slightly upset it had only been an act, and a copy of what Mystical Elf had been doing. "Nice acting..."

"Sorry about that. I guess I got a little carried away with the hands there," Celtic gave a kind of embarrassed grin.

'Feel free to let your hands get carried away more often,' Dark thought but then mentally slapped himself. 'You don't think about him like that when he's right there in front of you!'

"What the heck are you thinking about? You're smiling like a fool," Celtic asked Dark. "You thinking about Mystical Elf?" Celtic raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, I'm thinking about an elf alright," Dark looked over at Mystical Elf and rolled his eyes. "Stupid girl."

"Do you feel that?" Celtic asked.

'That electric chemistry between us?' Dark asked again in thought.

"Another duel." Celtic smiled. "Hey Dark Magician get out of those clothes, we gotta duel."

'Oh Gods I could make that so bad.....' Dark snapped his fingers, replacing his outfit with his duelling attire.

This time it was Yami was the one dominate in Yugi's body. I serious duel called for a serious player. An evil looking Seto Kiaba stood on the opposite side of the stadium. He had began by saying how he had died and had come back to get his revenge. Yami had shot back with a very stern, "S'not him!"

The evil Seto made the first move of the duel, playing Hitotsu-Me Giant, the same move that began Yugi's first duel with Seto Kiaba.

Yami played Dark Magician and set his to destroy the green giant.

After Dark had accomplished his task he looked at Kiaba. He was giving of a darker vibe than last time, and the darker skin and creepy eyes didn't help any.

The now, more properly defined, psychotic Seto played one of this Blue Eyes White Dragons and another card face down.

Everyone was shocked. At the beginning they had all believed this guy to be nothing but an impostor, but only Seto Kiaba had the Blue Eyes in his deck. Still Yami refused to believe anything the crazy Kiaba said to him.

Yami switched Dark into defence mode and played Curse of Dragon in defence as well. He knew that he would need to protect his Life Points from Seto's dragon.

Seto, almost gleefully, flipped up his face down card, Defence Paralysis. Yami was horrified as his monster switched back to attack mode. Seto unleashed the power of his dragon's White Lightning Attack on Curse, bringing Yami's Life Points down to one thousand.

Yami's next move was Magical Hats to conceal his Dark Magician.

Dark sat under one of the hats and an interesting thought popped into his head. 'I wonder if being under a hat is like the same as being in the closet?' He chuckled in his mind.

"Are you so afraid you're having your Magician doing simple hat tricks?" Evil Seto asked Yami.

"It's not a trick and it's not that simple," Yami replied.

Seto attacked one of the hats but unfortunately for him, missed hitting Yami's Magician.

Yami put a card face down on the field and finished his turn with that.

Seto attacked again, this time destroying the hat that concealed Yami's trap. Spell-binding circle surrounded Seto's Blue Eyes and reduced its attack power by seven hundred points.

Yami called Dark out from under his hat and ordered him to attack. Seto's first Blue Eyes was destroyed.

Seto made a quick recovery by playing a second Blue Eyes and wiping Dark from the field.

Yami played Feral Imp in attack mode, a move that would surely be the end of the duel, but....

Seto ordered his Blue Eyes to attack but something strange was happening. The dragon was beginning to melt, pieces of it was falling and dripping to the ground. Finally and with what seemed to be with great struggle, the dragon attacked. The White Lightning Attack barrelled down on Yami and his monster.

Yami was prepared for the end of the duel when he heard a voice call to him is his mind. He questioned it aloud, "Kaiba?" The eye on Yami's forehead glowed gold and suddenly Seto's second dragon was gone from the field, though no one except the Pharaoh had even the slightest idea how.

Seto went even more psychotic than before as he and Yami yelled at each other across the stadium. Evil Seto's face bulged every which was before blowing apart to reveal an ugly looking clown type thing that dared call himself a part a Seto Kiaba (Hicky- I love Seto so that just made me sick!).

Feral Imp was just as shocked and disgusted as everyone else, and though he could not express it in words is mind yelled, 'What the hell is THAT!'

The scary clown thing played Grapler in defence mode.

"I don't know what to call you," Yami started, "I was thinking of monster, but I didn't want to insult the cards." He played one card face down and Celtic Guardian in attack mode.

Scary Clown Thing played Mystical Horseman in attack mode and played another card face down.

Yami played Mystical Elf and a card face down.

Scary Clown Thing played his final Blue Eyes and ordered and attack. Yami quickly counter with a magic card, Mirror Force, to reflect the attack back. Scary Clown Thing uses his own magic card, Negate, to get rid of the ricocheting attack once and for all.

Yami played Reborn the Monster and after a few stupid comments from Scary Clown Thing Yami explained and did revive one of the Blue Eyes to his side of the field. A still happy Scary Clown Thing was positive that since the two Blue Eyes had the same attack power that nothing bad would really happen. Yami informed his quickly that there was an error to his prediction. Yami said that all along Mystical Elf had been chanting a spell that transferred her power along with that of the Book of Secret Arts that had been equipped on her, to Yami's Blue Eyes White Dragon, significantly raising its attack points. Yami was ready to attack and win, "Obliterate!"

The Blue Eyes made a quick thought comment before attacking, 'It's White Lightning MORON!!!'

The duel was over, Yami had won and had set that clown thing back where he belonged.

Hicky: Okay, that was okay. I like when Dark and Celtic were talking at the beginning kinda part.

Trent: Prepare for a LOT more of that before they get together.

Hicky: I have a proposal for all yaoi fans. If you love yaoi and think that homosexuals should have all the rights and think that homophobic people should get a life, please feel free to refer to yourself as a Homomaniac like I and several of my friends have done. Say you've become a Homomaniac in your review so I can keep track of my terms growing popularity.

Trent: Hicky also would like to ask anybody that has the Bonz vs Joey duel recorded or has it written already, she needs it move for move... or just tell her to cut it out of the fic... it's your decision.

Hicky: As before with the pics, they are available by request. I will give a title to each one at the end of the chapter if Dark doesn't.

Dark: I have titled the drawing from this chapter, "Celtic with Spear"

Hicky: Ooooh, the hidden meaning is killing me!

Dark: What hidden meaning?

Trent: She's being sarcastic... there isn't one.
