Yugi: But you're adding in more stuff, aren't ya?
Kitty: Of course! I'm adding tons more.
Lina: Kewl! (grins)
Marik: R&R!]
Chapter 31: This Can't Be Right! POV: Joey I was walking up to the Duel Tower with Serenity, Duke and Tristan for the final duel to start and for Yami to kick Malik's rotten ass, and my two male friends immediately started lecturing me about Kara."You really should tell her, Joey," Tristan said, "Holding it up inside of yourself won't help..."
"Tristan, he can't do that, she loves Marik," Duke argued, "And besides, she's got enough on her mind right now...being pregnant and all..."
Tristan shook his head. "While that may be, Kara might have feelings for Joey too, you've seen how close they are..."
I sighed in frustration as the two kept arguing.
I wanted to tell her with everything in me, but yet I knew that Duke was right. She still loved Marik...and she'd never choose me over him.
"Joey!"
I looked up at the sound of Yami's voice.
He was holding a limp Kara in his arms with some difficulty, and her eyes were closed...
"What the hell happened to Kara?" I demanded, running over and taking Kara from him.
"She was trying to save Marik."
I looked up to see Ishizu nearby with a limp Tea in her lap, who also had her eyes closed.
"What the hell-?" Tristan started.
"What about Marik?" I interrupted, my eyes wide.
"Marik's good side had been staying within Tea's body," Ishizu said quietly, "But Malik discovered him, so Kara and I tried to help him, but..."
She broke off, but I knew what she meant. It had been too late. Marik had been sent to the Shadow Realm...for good this time.
I held Kara close to my chest, praying silently that Malik hadn't hurt her again.
"Will they be alright?" Serenity voiced my concerns.
"Of course," Ishizu assured, "Kara is only unconscious because of the Necklace, and Tea-"
Right then, Tea started to move.
"She's waking up!" Duke said in relief.
Tea opened her eyes and blinked. "What...happened...? How'd I get here?"
They explained it quickly to her, but I was barely paying attention.
I looked at Kara's face, brushing away a few flyaway hairs to stroke her cheek.
What did the Necklace do to her?
POV: KaraI moaned a little from a sudden aching in my head and opened my eyes.
"Joey...?" I whispered.
He smiled in relief, and then held me close. "Thank God, Kara."
"Are you alright?" I heard Yami ask.
I nodded weakly, holding my head. "I feel like a car ran over me, but I guess so."
Roland suddenly came over and said, "The final duel is to begin in five minutes. Would you please get off the dueling arena."
I nodded, and Joey helped me out of the way so that Yami could get past us and onto his side of the dueling arena.
"This is what it all comes down to," I told him, "You win this duel, and you learn all you need to figure out your destiny."
"Not to mention you save the world," Joey said, smiling up at the past Pharaoh with confidence.
Yami smiled too. "Don't worry. I won't let you guys down."
"I know you won't," I said quietly, "I've seen it."
Yami's eyes widened. "Wait, what did you...?"
"Well, well, well."
I looked to see Malik walking toward the platform, an evil smirk lining his face and his eyes shining as he looked at me.
Joey held onto me possessively, and I was kind of glad he did. I probably would've collapsed otherwise.
"Sense Marik at all, Kara?" Malik asked, smirking, "No? Nice to hear that."
I looked at him with expressionless eyes, but inside, I was furious.
"Fuck off, Malik," Joey growled.
Malik looked at Joey with cold eyes. "This isn't any of your concern, Wheeler."
"It is if you're messing with Kara," Joey snapped, his arms wrapping around me a little bit tighter, "Just leave her alone, would ya?"
I looked at Joey in gratitude. He always did know how to protect his friends.
Malik said nothing, instead walking up to his end of the dueling arena.
"Thanks," I whispered in his ear so that only he could hear me.
Joey kissed my cheek and smiled as if to say, "It was nothing."
POV: YamiMalik had been quiet, but right then, he started to laugh insanely, looking at Joey and Kara.
"What's your problem, Cockatoo Head?" Joey yelled.
[Kitty: (laughing) I love calling Malik that!!!
Yugi: It is quite funny... and true...(grins)]
Malik smirked at Joey. "No problem at all, Wheeler. I'm just amazed a friend of the Pharaoh's could take advantage of a girl."
Joey's eyes widened in fury.
"I knew you had taken a liking to her, Wheeler," Malik snickered, "But Kara's heart is still warm from where my weaker self used to sleep, and you're already taking advantage of her feelings!"
"SHUT UP!"
"The truth hurts, doesn't it, Wheeler?" Malik sneered, walking past us and toward the platform, "Just be glad that Kara is still so naïve...otherwise, she would've never accepted you...or your lust for her..."
"Malik, that's enough!" I said sharply, my eyes burning with silent fury, "This is none of your concern!"
I know that what Malik was saying was true...but Kara didn't.
POV: Joey
I glared daggers at Malik. How dare he say that crap...!
"Joey...is this true?"
I looked at Kara. Her eyes were reflected with confusion and concern, and looking into her eyes now, for the first time, was painful.
I looked back at her, and I was barely able to say, "Yes...it's true."
Kara's eyes widened. "You...you..."
She pulled herself out of my arms.
"Kara, I..."
"You love me..."
"I couldn't help it!"
"You knew about Marik!"
"My feelings just wouldn't change!" I yelled, tears falling down my cheeks, "I tried to ignore them because they were tearing me apart, but ignoring them made me feel worse! I tried to hide my feelings from you because I knew you'd never feel the same way, but instead my feelings multiplied! I tried to make you more like a friend because it would be safer for the both of us, but you kept renewing my lust again and again! And now you're mad at me because of my feelings!"
Kara looked at me, almost blankly, and I finally was able to breath. I panted, trying to get back into the normal routine of breathing.
Kara looked down at the ground so that her eyes were in shadow, and whispered, "I'm not mad at you, Joey."
"W-what?" I said in surprise, "You're not...?"
"No," she whispered, and I was shocked to see shining tears falling down her cheeks, "I'm mad at myself...for falling in love with two men."
'You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
And you've got the look of love
Right in your eyes.
And I was in a crazy motion
'Til you calmed me down
It took a little time,
But you calmed me down.
Some people never say the words 'I love you,'
It's not their style to be so bold. Some people never say the words 'I love you,'But like a child, they're longing to be told...'
-Annie Lennox, "Something So Right"

Bakura: (grins sheepishly) Possessive much? Don't you think you could let go of me?
Lina: (glares) Do you still want to share the bed with me, Bakura-chan?
Bakura: Of course.
Lina: Then you're staying here.

Kitty: I like lc15 calling us PEIUNY MORTALS, Jill, even if it's a little insulting when you think about it. It's cute.
Yugi: Besides, insults just bounce right off of you.
(an insult runs over to Kitty and tries to kick her head, but it bounces off)
The Insult: Huh? (sees that it is flying back toward the wall) AAAAHHH! (bounces off the wall and rams into the back of Seto's head)
Seto: (glares at the insult, his eyes like flames) WHY YOU... (kicks the insult out the window)

Raven A. Artemis said:
Hey, I like the series. Good job. You might want to try to make the chappies longer though. The story itself is great...Wah! I nearly cried. Anyway, keep it up. I like the series (once again) and you are doing a great job. If you get he owner of Yu-Gi-Oh's permission, you should publish this story. Anyway, good job. Keep up the good work.
Raven
P.S. You might want to add a few more OC's or two. THAT would be interesting.
Kitty: (smiles) Thank you. I only write what I can in chapters, just so they're spaced out enough and aren't too long, I don't want to go outside the limit in a post. (blushes)
Lina: As far as I know, Kitty will not put in more OC's, but she will add things to the plot and do more with one of her current OC's. (winks)
Yugi: I'm glad you think Kitty should publish this...I would be interested if Kazuki-kun would allow Kitty to do it.
Kitty: (rolls her eyes) Just because you're his creation, you think he's your friend.
Yugi: (sticks his tongue out at Kitty)
Noa: R&R!]
