Airimis: Thank you for the lovely reviews! I love them all! ^^ Here's the next chapter! ^^

Tournament Start!

*~*~*Dream*~*~*

I was standing in front of the ocean staring while I saw killer whales leap in and out of the water. I enjoyed watching them have their little fun, until I felt something strong wrap around my waist. I look up and it was...

*~*~*End of dream*~*~*

"Mimiki! Wake up! The Battle City Tournament starts today!! Wake up and get ready so I can see you lose and get my $50!!!" Mimiki opened her eyes to find her little brother jumping on her bed. "You little brat! I'm gonna kill you!" She quickly grabbed his neck and started choking him. "Ok! Stop it!! I surrender! Just let me go..." her brother pleaded. She dropped him on the floor and got out of bed while Mamota was gasping for air. "I love it when you're in that kind of condition when I strangle you. It's what you deserve. Now get out so I can get dressed." Her brother then left, not wanting to feel his sister's torment again.

Mimiki got some clothes out of her dresser and headed to the bathroom to shower. After fifteen minutes, came went downstairs to get something to drink. "Can we go now? I'm bored and it's almost 9:00!" "Shut up Mamota! You can wait!" She finished her drink and placed the glass in the dishwasher. Then the doorbell had rung. "I'll get it!" her mother shouted from the hallway. She opened the door to see a boy who had black hair, brown eyes and had a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Good morning Mrs. Maiyaka. Is Mimiki home?" "Yes. She's in the kitchen. I'll go get her for you. Mimiki! Someone's here to see you!" "Okay I'm coming!" She came to the front door and grew with anger. Her mom left to go to the living room while Mimiki shut the door behind her. "What the hell are you doing here Daren? After you tried to force me to kiss you?" "I'm here to say sorry about that. I got you some flowers." He said while giving them to her. She slapped them away and glared at him. "You think that you can come to my house and try to win me over?!? You bastard! I already have someone to love and it isn't you! Go away and never come back to this house ever again!" "Fine! You'll regret not being my girlfriend!" Then he left.

"Mimiki! It's 9:00!! Hurry up!!!" "I'm coming!" she yelled as she got her stuff. Then she, Sanami and Mamota left to find Yugi and the others.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I wonder where Mimiki is. She said she'd be here as soon as the tournament started." Yugi said worried. "Don't worry. She'll be here." Tea told him reassuring. "Yea but she'd would've called us right?" Tristan asked. "You'd think dat Tristan, but girls are always late and never get anywhere on time." Joey said like he knew everything. "What you just said is completely wrong Joey." Tea said annoyed. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late!" Mimiki said running to them.

"What kept ya so long Mimiki? We were worried about ya!" Joey said. "I'm sorry but Daren was the cause of this. I'm here now so we can get started!" she said happily. "Ok then let's go!" the others said in unison.

They started walking to find some other duelists to duel against, until some asked Mimiki to duel. While the duel went on between Mimiki and the other duelist, Joey happened to recognize someone. "Hey you! You've got my Red Eyes Black Dragon and I want it back!" "Or what? What you gonna do? Maybe your friend would like to duel for it..." "WHAT?!?!? THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND YOU, NOT YUGI AND YOU! NOW LET'S DUEL!!" Joey yelled franticly. "No! I want your friend instead!" "Okay! I'll duel you, but if I win, you have to return Joey's Red Eyes!" "OK then! Let's duel!"

*~*~*Mimiki's duel*~*~*

"Okay Mimiki! I play Red Archery Girl in attack mode! I also play a magic card Umi! This raises my water monsters attack points by 250 and your monsters are weaker!" "Thanks a lot Marina! You didn't think about my monsters! They're water types. You helped raise their attack power and it's enough to wipe out your monsters and life points. I play another monster called the orca of the sea! (1800/1900) Since Umi is on the playing field, it raises my monsters attack power! (2050/1900) Now Orca of the sea (2050/1900) Chitaicara (1850/1500) and Hero Chitaicara (2250/1800) attack her monsters!" The three monsters attack her Red Archery Girl (1650/1200) Deepsea Shark (2240/16000) and Cure Mermaid (1650/1330)

"Aww man! I lost 650 life points!" (LP: 2000)

"I'm not done yet! I play a magic card Umi Bracelet! It raises my Baby Chiataicara's attack and defense power by 550! (2000/1550) now attack her life points directly!" Mimiki's monster attacks the girl's monster and she loses the duel. "You're a great duelist! It's an honor to actually see you in person Mimiki! Here's my Deepsea Shark and my locator card." "Thank you Marina! I'll take good care of it!" The two shook hands and left. "Mamota give me my $50! I won! Hand it over!" "Whatever!" he gives her the money and starts to walk with her.

They keep on walking and find Yugi dueling somebody. "Who's Yugi dueling Joey?" "A rare hunta. He's has my Red Eyes!" "Look! He just lost to Yugi!" They look as the rare hunter collapsed in failure. "I lost..." "Yes and you have to return Joey's Red Eyes." Then the rare hunter held his head like he was in pain.

"NO MASTER!! PLEASE DON'T!! I SWEAR I'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME!!"

'You fool there is no next time. You have only one chance to carry out my orders and you messed up! To the shadow realm with you!!!'

The man lost control of his body and an eye appeared on his head.

"We meet again Pharaoh!"

"What the hell...who are you?!? What's going on here?"

"Dis ain't right! That's not normal!" Joey yelped as he backed away and hiding behind Mimiki.

"Oh this is normal. I sent this fool's mind to the shadow realm. I speak through him! Mind control is a wonderful thing when you know how to use it correctly..."

"What do you want you sick fiend!" Yami asked angrily.

"I'm the future pharaoh of this world! I will dominate this world! But in order to do that, I need your millennium puzzle, the Egyptian God cards, and the Egyptian Goddess cards!" "Egyptian what?!?" "Millennia ago, these behemoths rampaged through Egypt and destroyed countless villages!" the "rare hunter" explained. "Wait a minute! How do you know about all of this?!? Only certain individuals knowledge of ancient scriptures and who own millennium items only know that!" Mimiki shouted out to him. The man stopped talking and looked at her.

Yami noticed that he was staring at her. "Whatever you're planning to do to her, you better think again!" Marik stared at her even more. He could see her figure with her tight blue jean pants and tight deep blue sea shirt. He could see that her hair grew longer and she wore it in the hair style that she wore when they first met. She still had those perfect midnight blue eyes that he loved to stare in and her tan skin wanted him to see her even more. It felt like he didn't know her, because she had changed so much. If only he could get a closer look...

"Hey you! You didn't tell me what your name was! I demand that you tell me it right now!" "Hey! I'm the only one who gives orders around here fool! Now I demand you to give me that ra dang puzzle!" "No! Now release this man from mind control!" "I'll be back pharaoh and I will get that puzzle!" Then the man fell to the ground. Yami retrieved Joey's Red Eyes card and tore the Exodia cards to shreds.

"You guys, I'm going to find Mokuba so Mamota can go meet up with him. I'll be back later." "See ya Mimiki!" they said in unison. "Hey guys! I was looking for you!" "Hey Mokuba!" "Hey Mimiki! Congratulations on winning your first locator card!" he said smiling. "Thank you Mokuba!" "Come one Mamota!" "Ok!" Then the two boys ran off.

Then Mimiki started to walk around Battle City. 'Why was that man staring at me? Did I have something that he wanted?' Then she stopped in front of the Domino Museum. Suddenly something was telling her to go inside. Then her millennium item began to glow. She began to walk to the museum, not knowing what was going to happen next.
