Chapter Two
The School Dual

Keket smirked as she drew five cards, watching Bamani move to do the same thing. Her gaze remained on Bamani, saying nothing.

"You can go first…" The Egyptian boy commented, as he watched Keket, who drew her sixth card, and looked over her cards, silently. A small smirk crossed the girl's face, which made Bamani cock his head to the side in mild confusion. Three magic or trap cards, face down, and a monster face down in defense mode. What was she doing… probably laying a trap.

"Go," Keket said, with a small smirk, as she watched Bamani's reaction to this. He drew a card, and eyes flashed over the hand.

"Battle Ox, in attack mode," Bamani said. He couldn't help himself. He was going to play right into Keket's hands, if she DID have a trap… "And use my beast-warrior to attack your face down monster."

With this said, Keket put her hand on the card for a moment, before flipping it. A four star monster, dubbed Mystical Elf. 2000 defense points. "A loss for Battle Ox," She commented.

Bamani gave a slight frown at this, before heaving a sigh, "Go ahead…"He mumbled, with mild annoyance seeping into his voice.

Keket smirked at this, as she drew another card, looking at it a moment, considering what she could do with it. Her brow furrowed a little, before she set a card face down in defense mode, "Well, I'm done…" She said.

Bamani gave a questioning look, then shrugged slightly. He drew a card, looking at it. Jeeze. It wasn't Bamani's day. He wasn't getting the cards he wanted. He then shrugged again, "Battle Ox, attacks your face down monster," He said.

Keket slid the card off the table, and flipped it over as she put it into the graveyard… it was Witch of the Black Forest! She gave a small smirk, as she picked up her deck, shuffling through it. With that, she pulled a card from her deck, putting it in her hand, then shuffling her deck again, and set it back down. She knew it was her turn, so she drew a card, looking at it. Her eyes glinted slightly, as a plan formed in the back of her mind, "I'll play… Maha Vailo, in attack mode…" She said. The Light Spellcaster monster was placed on the field, with its 1550 attack points, and… an interesting effect, that Keket would soon be putting to use. "And I'll play two cards. One, is Gravekeeper's servant…" She placed the card on her magic/trap area, "And the second is Mage Power, equipped to Maha Valio. That gives it…" She started attempting to add up the numbers in her head.

"…. Four… thousand… five… hundred… and fifty…"Bamani managed to say, gulping. He was in BIG trouble now! His gaze shifted quickly to Keket's face.

"Bye-bye Battle Ox," Keket said, " Maha Vailo, attack Battle Ox." Swoosh. With one attack, Bamani had lost 2750 Life Points, giving him 5250 life points left. Though he wasn't TOO bad off, Bamani appears a little worried about this.

He moved the beast-warrior to his graveyard, grudgingly. He drew a card, "You dual rough," He commented.

"The whole game comes down to luck, and your skills of deck building," Keket replied, with a shrug, "I'm just having a little good luck right now."

"I think you stole my good luck," Bamani joked, with a small smile, "I will play dark blade," the dark warrior was placed on the field, "And I play a card face down." A magic, or possibly trap card, was slid into place on Bamani's side of the field. "Go."

Keket nodded, and drew a card. As she was about to continue with her turn, Bamani flipped the card he had placed face down. It was a purple-ish pink lined card… a trap card, of course. Gravity bind… possibly the most annoying card in the Yu-gi-oh game, but easy to get rid of. Keket scowled at this, frowning a bit. She had no monster under level four in her hand. "Go," she mumbled.

Bamani smirked a little, and drew a card. He looked over the five cards in his hand, deciding there was nothing of use to him, "Go ahead," He said to Keket.

Keket drew a card, then gave a smirk. She looked at the cards on her field, before selecting one, and discarding it to the graveyard. A Waboku. She then placed another card where it had been. Remove trap, "Bye bye Gravity Bind," She said. With gravity bind gone, Keket used Maha Vailo to attack Darkblade, doing 2750 life point damage again. "2500 life points for you," Keket murmured.

Bamani nodded, and sighed, "I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard, in attack mode," He said. The Four stars Earth Warrior, with 1400 attack points, had a fair effect. Any monster with over 1900 attack points, attacking this monster, wouldn't destroy it, "Go."

Keket frowned at this, as she drew a card. She disliked cards like this. They cause complications, "Harpies Brother," She said, summoning the Winged-Beast, "Attack Celtic Guard." The earthen warrior was sent to the graveyard, as 400 direct damage was done to Bamani's Life Points, "And Maha Vailo attacks. Bye-bye… your gone…"

Bamani stared, as Keket picked all her cards up swiftly. "… How the…"He started, trailing off though. He shook his head violently, and picked up his own cards, slowly.

"Sorry. I'm a bit… Ruthless as far as dueling," Keket said, with a small smile of apology. She slipped her cards away into her pocket, "Good duel though."

Bamani nodded his agreement, and held out a hand to shake Keket's. His hand clasped tightly around Keket's, as they shook hands. As they did, the bell rang. The two walked toward the doors of the lunchroom.

"Hey Bamani, why don't we see if you can come over to my house after school," Keket suggested suddenly, which shifted Bamani's gaze to her.

"…Sure," Bamani said, slowly, then grinned a little. Keket and him were fast friends, it seemed. With that, the two went through the rest of the day, and met up at the Main Office, and walked inside. They both called their parents, and got permission for Bamani to go to Keket's house. Well, the two got on Keket's bus, and rode to her house, without incident.
