Second chap. Up!

Oh, Kioken? WE HAVEN'T FINISHED THE STORY YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Are you sure ya' haven't got anything ta' eat, 'Yuge'?" asked Joey, holding his growling stomach.

"No…" sighed Yugi, rolling his eyes. He looked up the path and pointed. "Hey, they might though!" The group looked up to see two figures walking away from them. They ran to catch up.

"Hey, you two!" yelled Joey, waving. "Have ya' got any gr-?!" he started, cut off by a hand clamped around his mouth.

"(Haven't you got any manners?!?)" hissed Tea, slapping him on the side of his head. The two turned.

The boy was about 5" 3, short, black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears with silver rings in them, wearing a black T-shirt, a grey long-sleeve under that, a silver dog chain on his belt, a black backpack, black trousers and black, leather boots. In other words, slightly Gothic-looking. He was also wearing a scowl on his face.

The girl was about 5" 3 also, waist length, blue hair in a ponytail, green eyes, wearing a blue Ski-cap, a blue T-shirt with the legend 'Dragons Rule!!!" on it, accompanied by a picture of the monster 'Petit Dragon', a red backpack, a short, yellow skirt and white trainers.

"Um, can we help you?" asked the girl, looking at the struggling Joey with puzzlement. Her voice was light and cheery.

"Er, sorry about him." Apologized Tristin, glancing at him. "He gets a bit crazy when he's hungry."

"Kinda like my sister here." Said the boy, smirking at the girl. His voice was deep and gravely, and sounded like another person's. He extended his hand. "Hiya. I'm Matthew, and this is Kaye." He added, nodding at the girl.

"Yugi." Yugi said, shaking his hand. "Nice meeting you. This is Tristin, ("Yo.") Tea, ("Pleasure to meet you.") and Joey. ("(Ow…) Heya.")

Kaye looked down at Yugi's chest, and then gasped. "Whoa!" she exclaimed, moving in to look at his puzzle. "You're the kid everyone's talking about!" She moved closer, looking at it.

"I'm- Wha-?!" stammered Yugi, a sweatdrop on the side of his head, showing how awkward he felt.

"You've got magic powers or something, haven't you?" she asked, stepping back slightly.

"Well, kinda…" he said, not wanting to talk about his puzzle in detail.

"If that's the deal," said Matthew, glancing from the puzzle to Yugi. "How about a 2-stars duel? Y'see, I don't wanna lose anymore than that." He held up his duelling glove. He had 8 starchips.

"Hey, Matt?" said Kaye, looking at him. "Why not make this interesting?" She smiled at the others, holding her glove up. She had 8 starchips.

"Eh, why not(?)" he replied, looking at Joey. "How about a double 2-stars duel? You and Blondie verses me and Sis?"

"Well, I'm up for it!" said Joey, smarting a bit from the 'Blondie' comment. He looked to Yugi. "How about you?"

"I don't mind. It'll be good practice." he said, shrugging.

"Alright then, we accept!" said Joey triumphantly, striking a pose. Suddenly, a low growling was heard. A blush appeared over the ridge of Joey's nose. "Er, right after lunch!"

A few minutes later, the group were sat down, eating happily. Kaye sneaked over to Matthew, glancing at the others.

"(Look, he's got one, so we should tell as well!)" Whispered Kaye to Matthew, watching the others finish the meal that had been given out.

"(Look, you want the edge in battle?)" He whispered fervently. "(We say nothing until the duel!)" He cut in before her.

"(But if we say now, then it's all fair!)" She pleaded, looking at him.

"(Fair?!?)" he said, a little loudly. He checked to see if he'd been noticed, then said "(Look, fair means nothing. If you play fair, you lose! Whatever wins duels works fine for me, even if it is unfair.)"

She sat back on her heels, her arms wrapped around her knees, an un-happy look on her face.

That's it for now! Ps, any flames will be fed to my Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon, and Ra's Twin-Headed-Fire-Dragon. (And they have big appetites!)
