claps furiously This chapter dedicated to Voakands. Half-way to the plot! Yes it was Tea's POV, and yes she convinced Yami to hire the... umm it isn't an assassin, no one was actually supposed to get hurt. So everyone say thanks to Voak, for it is his review that dashed my writers block into bits... dang... Now I gotta find a new block. Btw, Kaiba isn't participating in the tournament, he has, shall we say, lost his competitive streak.

Chapter 18:

Yugi smiled at Ash. "So, you won your first battle."

Ash smirked. "Yup."

That was all that was needed.

Ash and Yugi made their way through the tournament, both making it to the last 4 matches.

They both had won their matches and were watching a duelist named AwfullyevilFredboo (my dad came up with the name o.O).

Aboo, as he called himself, was a phenomenal duelist. He played calmly and expertly.

There was something... odd about him though. His eyes had an almost malicious look to them. He enjoyed toying with his opponents.

Yugi noticed something about him that chilled him to the very bone. (I have NO clue what millennium items do what, but bear with me?) He wore the Millennium Ring around his neck, the M eye sat in one of his eye sockets.

Yugi grimaced pulling Ash over to where Yami had just finished his duel.

Slamming Yami against the wall he growled in a low dangerous voice, "You idiot, you were supposed to keep the Millennium items out of the WRONG HANDS. I left them with you because I was STUPID enough to believe you could keep the SAFE." Yugi shook with anger.

Yami smirked. "Don't worry wimp, I'll be able to beat him. I AM against him next, am I not?" he asked, his voice just as dangerous. 'When I do, you and your... fiancé will be my friends... I hope?'

"You had better," Yugi growled releasing Yami.

The Results were in. Yami VS. AwfullyevilFredboo. Yugi VS. Ash. Ok guys, I haven't had ANY sleep these last few nights, so I'm going to go to sleep... maybe if I get 5 reviews I'll update tomorrow... I HAVE WORD ON MY COMP AGAIN!
