Me: REVIEWS! glomps people
Hikari: sigh
Me: InsaneShadowFan and panmotto – sorry that Yugi isn't fighting. It's just that Yugi already fought this battle in the series and I thought I'd show off my writing skills lmao. They're sorta minimal. Thanks for reviewing.
silverwolf-bakura13 – they both fight! Yey! gives choccie I keep the pudding
Thanks for reviewing. This chapter is deticated to silverwolf-bakura13 because she had a cool idea I could work with.
Hikari: I swear I don't know her
'What? You're . . . you're saying that there's another you?'
'Yes. He takes over in times like this usually.'
I didn't look into his eyes, nor he in mine.
'So,' I said after a long pause. 'Do I know you or him?'
'What?' Yugi asked, shocked.
'Who is the real Yugi? Who's the one that I considered my best friend, you or this other Yugi?'
'Please Hikari, please don't'
'Just tell me.'
We paused, unaware of Pandora's movements.
'You know me, but he's the one who duels.'
'So I believed you were a world champion, and that's a lie.'
'Please Hikari – '
'And I believed you were just always in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that's a lie too.'
'Hikari, you've got this all wrong.'
'No Yugi. What I got wrong was that we were friends.'
'NO HIKARI, no.
'We are friends, till the end. I just didn't want to cause you grief like this.'
Motioning him on the best I could through the fog that my glass cage was filling with, a tear trickling down my cheek.
'It's just,' Yugi paused. 'It's just that the less you knew the safer you were. Jounouchi just found out because of the Rare Hunters, Anzu was with me when I found out and Honda . . . I'll tell him when I see him. I didn't want to put you or anyone in danger.'
'How am I supposed to believe you?' I asked, all the bitterness from my voice evaporated. 'I mean, it's just . . . unbelievable. Unreal.'
'Here,' he said, a glow surrounding him to reveal another him. His hair had more blonde spikes in it than usual and his voice seemed a bit deeper, but maybe I was just imagining
'Who the hell are you?'
'I am Yami no Yugi, or aibou to Yugi.'
'That explains nothing.'
'He,' interjected Pandora. 'Is the nameless Pharaoh.'
Pharaoh, pharaoh. Where have I heard your name before?
The girl! With bluer eyes than mine!
'Yugi, other Yugi, Pharaoh, whatever! Do you know anyone with blue eyes like mine? They have to be exactly like mine.'
'Sorry, I don't remember anything from Egypt. Why?'
'Nevermind. I'm dueling.'
'No way!'
'Yes way,' I said, screwing my eyes in concentration. The area that Pandora had created was submerged in a purple fog of power. I don't know what made me think it, but I knew I was in control of this. Yugi gasped and Pandora's eyes widened severely. I felt cracks form in the glass, so small, so insignificant compared to the chains that followed. Pulling my arms in front of my eyes after seeing Yugi do the same the glass shattered and floated around the room. Some control was kept.
'I'm dueling Pandora. If I lose you get to send me to the Shadow Realm and get to duel Yugi. Deal?'
'Don't you mean duel?'
'Now!'
'No!'
'Yes!'
'No!'
'Yes!'
'No!'
'YUGI WILL YOU SHUT UP! I'm gonna win.'
'You don't even have a Duel Disk'
Running to my back, I dumped the contents onto the floor. My ring which seemed to be glowing, some loose change, Pooky (YUM!) and my Duel Disk with my cards already in there.
'I got it for free,' I said. 'Let me duel.'
'I'm afraid I can't let you,' Pandora said, walking towards me slowly. I stepped back and cut my hand on shards of glass still attached to the wall.
'Both of us.'
'Both of you?'
'Yes,' Yugi said, determined. 'We get 2000 life points each, you get 4000, and it goes you, me, you, Hikari etc. Deal?'
'Duel!'
Pandora put us both in these foot chains, and put himself in one as well before explaining the extra rules.
'Who ever loses,' he said. 'Will have their feet taken away from them thanks to my saws spinning. If you win, your box opens allowing you to unchain your feet. Any questions?'
'Are you some sort of demented madman?' Another Yugi exclaimed.
'Sorry kiddies. That's a big kids question. What are little squirts like you doing knowing those sort of words anyway?'
'Well,' I improvised. 'If we're playing in the deep end then we have to learn to sink or swim. Unfortunately I'm as good as Ian Thorpe from Australia in the 400m.'
'Fine, just go.'
'I play one card in defense and place another card face down,' Yugi announced.
'And I do the same,' Pandora replied.
'Hey! That's just lame. I play Swords of Revealing Light, and then play a trap card before playing one monster in defense. Go Pandora.' Hopefully that Mystical Elf wouldn't be knocked out easily.
'Do I attack or not?' Decisions decisions.'
'Make up your mind Pandora,' Yugi ordered.
'I choose . . . '
Me: OOOO cliffy.
Hikari: R&R Thanks
