Chance: Hey all, and welcome to yet another chapter of the magic pillow!
Chikara: (sniff) Hi.
Chance: - - What's wrong now, Chikara?
Chikara: (sniff) it's nothing really. I mean, I shouldn't really be sad about it...
Chance: Just spit it out Chikara!
Chikara: (sniff) Alright. I kinda feel bad that I didn't get many reviews. I mean, I love that I got some, I'm really happy about it. But the fact that the only people who reviewed are either in the story or going to be, that makes me a little, well sad...
Chance: Oh. Well, I guess...um... at least you got a few reviews! Oh wait, I forgot, another one came in for you today!
Chikara: and you didn't tell me? This is the 2nd time you did this!
Chance: I'm sorry! It just came in about an hour ago!
Chikara: oh ok. Well people, it seems like I got another one! Looks like I can be happy again! But more people have to review this time! Please? (Really big puppy dog eyes)
Chance: (Sweatdrop) ok Chikara, they get the idea.
Chikara: ok then! I'll get to writing!
Chance: That's the spirit!
Chikara: alright. To get back on track, I am going to introduce another one of my friends who is going to be in the intros and endings and she also plays a major part in the story. By request (actually because she'd kill me if I said no) here's Yuni!
Yuni: hello all of you people who are insane enough to read this story (happy face)
Chance: ... (Sweatdrop)
Chikara: um Yuni? Please don't be mean, you might make them not review, and I need reviews!
Yuni: What? What'd I do? (Smile) just having a little fun before the story. (Wink) Meh! Gosh you take every thing so seriously.
Chikara: yeah, well maybe there are people out there who are like me. You're going to make them mad and then they are going to leave. And then where would we be?
Chance: yea, you are a guest. What kind of guest would you be if you scared reviewers away?
Yuni: (Hits chance in the back of the head) the kind that could severely hurt you if you say I can't be a guest!
Chance: (cowers) Gees, between you with your fists and Chikara's flamethrower, I don't stand a chance, do I?
Chikara: nope (smile)
Yuni: (pats Chance on head) it's ok, we love you anyway!
Chance: (eager, excited face) really?!
Yuni: (smacks Chance again) geez, such a perverted child, aren't you?
Chance: dude, I was kidding.
Chikara: sure you were.
Chance: but I was! Come on, you really don't expect me to say that to you, do you?
Chikara: not me, but Yuni on the other hand...
Yuni: (sweatdrops heavily) o.0
Chance: but I... you really don't think...aw come on!
Yuni: alright already, let's just get on with the story!
Chikara: review responses first!
Daricio: Chikara: okay, as usual, I'm going to have to break this down. First off, I was kinda hoping you didn't notice that you had Marik's deck. It was kinda vital down the road...now I'll have to think of something else... (Muses)
Yuni: just get on with the review already!
Chance: that's my line!
Yuni: not any more! (Looks at Chikara, who has zoned out and is muttering about how she can fix her mistake) hey Chikara! Wake up!
Chikara: (snaps her head up and looks around) huh? What'd I miss?
Yuni (sweatdrops) just get on with the review!
Chikara: oh, right. Moving on, yup, I noticed QuickEdit got rid of stuff. It is evil! Evil I tell you! EVIL! And the next person is...ya gotta wait and find out! Last but not least, thanks for saying my story was cool. Yours is cool too!
Sarah1281: Chikara: hey cool, you reviewed both of my stories! I'm gonna eventually respond to the other stories review responses, but for now I'll just respond to the one pertaining to this story! Anyway, glad you love it! And yeah, I noticed that after I posted. Bad Chikara, bad! To forget which story one of your favorite quotes came from!
Chance: um...ok then Chikara. You're weird.
Chikara: yup, I'm weird.
Chance: ok then... so there ends the review responses!
Chikara: right you are! On with the chapter!
Yuni: (snaps out of falling asleep) yay!
Chikara and Chance: (sweatdrop)
(Page break)
So we waited. And we waited. And for a little change of pace, we waited some more. Okay, so we didn't have that long to wait. And it really didn't seem that long either. But I've always liked that line. Oh well. Anyways, so after waiting five minutes, the next Yu-Gi-Oh character came. At the same time, the doorbell rang.
"Well, that was ironic" said Daricio cheerfully.
"Yup" I said. Then I heard footsteps coming. 'I wonder why the person is coming straight to my room. Either my mom is getting tired will all of these people and decided not to announce them, or the person let themselves in. And if it's that, then the person is-"
"Chikara? Where are you?" a voice called.
"-Yuni." I finished my thought out loud. "I thought so"
"We're in her room" Chance yelled.
"Chance, you're here too? Good, then you get to have" she threw open the door "some of my mom's famous cream puffs! Oh, and Daricio too, of course. I didn't know you were here."
We looked at her, waiting for her to notice the Yu-Gi-Oh character. But apparently she only had eyes for us, cause she said "Um, Chikara, Chance, Daricio, what's wrong with you guys? Aren't you going to at least say hi?"
(A/N: Chikara: if I may just say something here, it gets really confusing when you add more people into a story suddenly. The whole time I was writing this, I kept on forgetting people and having to add it later. Chance: they don't care Chikara. Chikara: well, I can pretend they do. Now that I've said that, on with the story!)
Mutely, Chance and Daricio and I just pointed to the Yu-Gi-Oh character.
"Wha-ah" she said, almost dropping the cream puffs. "What the- Bakura?"
For yes, it was Bakura, looking by far more confused than anyone else we had seen. Fortunately, Daricio noticed this.
"Hi Bakura. Betcha have no idea what's going on, huh?"
He just shook his head.
"Well, I'm Daricio, and that's Chance, and that's Chikara, and that's Yuni. And as far as what's been happening, well, I can't really help you with that, on account of I haven't been here very long."
"I can help him with that" Chance said.
I smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand. "Yeah, that's just what we need. Someone to confuse him more than he already is."
"I will not confuse him!" Chance said. "I'll give him the straight facts. You'll take way too long."
I sighed. "Fine, whatever."
"Thank you. Bakura, long story short, that pillow" he gestured to the magic pillow "can grant wishes. Chikara used the first one to meet Yugi. She used the second one to meet the rest of the people in what we call the 'Yu-Gi-Oh realm', the alternate dimension where you live. First Yugi came over, than I came over, then Joey came, then Marik, and Daricio came when Marik came, and then you came and Yuni came over." He sat there, panting.
I raised an eyebrow. "I could have done better. That was not straight facts."
"No you couldn't, and yes they were. So Bakura, any questions?"
He nodded, and then held up two fingers.
"Um...okay, two questions. Ask away."
He sighed, and then said "First" in a voice that sounded strained and was barely higher than a whisper.
"Hold on" said Yuni. "What happened to your voice?"
He sighed again. "Laryngitis. My Yami went on some kind of rampage earlier today, yelling at everything that moved, and a few things that don't. Dunno why." He broke off, coughing. When he stopped, he said, "Of course, he didn't really seem to care that I'd have to deal with the consequences." He coughed softly.
"Oh. I'm really sorry that happened" Yuni said.
"Thanks. Now my first question is, can I have one of those cream puffs?" He looked over to the cream puffs hopefully.
We all looked at the cream puffs too, which had been forgotten when Yuni had first noticed Bakura.
"You like cream puffs?" Yuni asked.
"They're my favorite food!"
"Then you can have as many as you want!" she said with a winning smile.
(A/N: Chikara: Yuni likes Bakura! Yuni likes Bakura! Yuni likes- (Gets hit in the back of the head) –OW! Yuni: it's what you deserve! Chikara: not really. Yuni: grrrr... Chance: (Sweatdrop) let's continue with the story before the try to kill each other)
So the 5 of us started munching on the cream puffs. After a minute or two, I noticed the clock.
"Hey Bakura, you've only got about a minute and a half left. What was the second question you wanted to ask?"
He swallowed his cream puff, than said "Right. My second question is, can anyone tell me why I can't feel my Yami in his soul room?"
We all looked at each other, confused, until I remembered exactly what I had said in that wish.
"Oh I know! It's because I wished to see you two separate from each."
He looked around at all of us and said, "Do you think you could let me stay here? It's so much nicer than at home. I would miss Yugi and the gang, but it would be worth it to not have to deal with my Yami. So can I stay here please? (Cough)"
"Why Bakura? Has your Yami been being abusive to you again (in the first series, only seen in Japan. You can read it in Shonen Jump or the graphic novel though)?"
"Well...no. lately, he's been being all mysterious, and he's been muttering to himself. When I ask him what's wrong, he threatens me and closes his soul door. (Cough) and then what happened today...I dunno what's going on with him."
"Oh, ok. And I'm sorry Bakura, but I can't let you stay here. I'm in the middle of a wish, and I'm afraid of what wishing inside of a wish could do to the pillow. But I promise you, one of my wishes will be to go to the Yu-Gi-Oh world, and we'll see if we can bring you back without your Yami"
"Thanks. I really appreciate that. I look forward to seeing all of you over there."
"Ok, bye Bakura" I said
"We'll see you over there" said Chance.
"It's a date!" said Daricio, causing all of us to sweatdrop.
"Bye Bakura!" Said Yuni.
(A/N: Chikara: (sounding like Yuni) Bye Bakura, my true love! Parting is such sweet sorrow! Yuni: That's it! (Pounces on Chikara) Chance: Gah...why me, why me?)
Bakura disappeared, and I looked at all of them. "Ok, I need some answers, and I need them now!"
"About what?"
"Well, about a lot of things. For one thing, why did all of you decide to come over on the same day?"
"Um, because you called me and asked me to come over?"
"I wasn't asking you Chance, I was asking them"
"Well, I came over to show you that thing I could do with the Yu-Gi-Oh cards."
"What trick?" Yuni asked.
"Oh, just this thing that allows me to see the past, present, and future. I'll have to show it too you sometime Yuni."
"Yeah, you will. Oh, and I came over to give you the cream puffs and to see what you had wished for from the pillow."
"Okay, so- wait a minute. Yuni, how did you know I was going to use the magic pillow? From what I remember, I wasn't much into the idea of using the pillow."
"Yes, but I know that you have way too much curiosity, and I also know that you have to try something just to prove to yourself that it doesn't work."
"You know me to well... hey, that reminds me, why didn't you use the pillow to wish for something like this?"
She shrugged. "I couldn't'
"Why not?" Chance interjected.
"Cause my sister used it on wishes to get a boyfriend and other stuff like that, and cause of that, I can't use it. I tried, but apparently when someone in your family uses it, then you can't use it."
"Well, that sucks."
"Duh! Of course it does! It drove me nuts when I found out!"
"I bet. Anyway, so you came over to see what I'd do with the magic pillow-"
"And because I figured that you'd use it about the same way I would. And you are, so far"
"-yeah, that too. And obviously you stayed to see if I still do what you would do"
"Pretty much"
"Ok. So Daricio, Chance, why are you still here?"
"I'm still here to see if this is really happening."
I sweatdropped, but decided to ignore it.
"And I stayed to see what other exciting things you will wish for next."
"Cool. So the last Yu-Gi-Oh character is coming soon, and then I get to wish for something else."
"Cool" they all said"
And at that exact moment, the next person came. But since we all know who it is, since there's only one more person, what happens to us can wait till the next chapter.
(Page break)
Chance: (Staring at the dust cloud still there and sweatdropping) Ok then, looks like I'll have to wrap this story up myself, since their still fighting-"
Chikara: (dragging herself out of the dust cloud with various bruises and cuts, panting) no (pant) you (pant) don't. I'm (pant) gonna do (pant) it myself (pant).
Chance: (sweatdrops heavily) ok then, have fun.
Chikara: (pants until she gets her breath back) Ok that's better. Now, first things first, the challenge about my name in my Bio still stands- if you can guess my name from what I said, then you can use the pillow in a story of your own.
Yuni: (is laying on the ground) get back here Chikara we're not done.
Chikara: um Yuni? I'm kinda busy. I'll fight you again later.
Yuni: whatever.
Chikara: ok. Next thing, I still need a weapon! Remember? I need a weapon to defeat Marik! Help me, I'm not good at thinking up weapons (though I am getting better).
Yuni: oh I know a weapon! It's-
Chikara: put it in a review if you have an idea!
Yuni: ok.
Chikara: So, that's all. Oh, one more thing: Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail is THE best movie, and Linkin Park rocks!
Chance: ok, bye all!
Yuni: see ya!
Chikara: REVIEW!
Chance and Yuni: (sweatdrop)
