Yami Shiro Inazuma: Dark White Lightning by K. Hikutsa

Chapter Two: The Duel

(Raikuru P.O.V.)

"LET'S DUEL!" The Shadow Realm erupted around us, thanks to the Millennium Ring. Bakura seemed anxious to see this duel fought out, must of thought he could beat me after I defeated Atemu. Kaiba pulled two Duel Disks out of his suitcase, handing one to each duelist and stepping out of the way. Having been given a crash course in the Duel Disk yesterday, I wasn't worried about losing. (A/N: i'm not too sure about all the cards in yugi's deck, but i have a player's guide so i can construct yugi a new deck. any card u don't recognize, there's nothing i can do about that.) "I play Soul Tiger in defense mode, and two cards face down! That ends my turn, assassin!"

"I play Kuriboh in defense mode and activate Jar of Greed, I guess." I drew two cards from my deck, my 'poker face' as Kaiba called it staying perfectly intact. No smile, no frown, just a perfectly neutral face. "I end my turn with that, Pharoah!"

"I play Twin-Headed Behemoth, and attack your Kuriboh!" "Ooo, I'm shaking in my boots Pharoah!" "And I end my turn!" "Bad call, cause I activate Black Luster Ritual! Sacrificing Rare Metal Dragon and Mysterious Puppeteer from my hand to summon the Black Luster Soldier, and shall end my turn with that." We're winning, Kaido. I've noticed, and here I thought he was a good duelist. He was, back in the day when he ad power. Now, he's just a mere shadow of his former duelist. Ooo, he looks mad. I guess the Black Luster Soldier is too much for him, Yami. Must be, aibou.

"I sacrifice my two monsters to play Invader of Darkness in defense mode, and activate Swords of Revealing Light! I end my turn with that, murderer!" "Must you be such an idiot, Atemu? I play Malevolent Nuzzler, increasing my Soldier's attack points by 700. Even though I can't attack, I know damn good and well that you have nothing in your deck strong enough to defeat it now! Except maybe Slifer, but I have a way around that. I also play Pyramid of Light, stopping Slifer from being summoned! Your move." "I play Card Destruction, and play Koumori Dragon in attack mode! It's your turn, Raikuru."

"Run out of insults, or are you afraid of scaring your poor little hikari's mind? That's pathetic, Pharoah! I play Monster Reborn, reviving my Dark Magician from the graveyard in attack mode! I also play my own Koumori Dragon in attack mode and end my turn!" "I play Gravekeeper's Curse in defense mode, and another card face down! That ends my turn."

Pharoah Atemu: 4000 / Raikuru: 3200

"I play Wolf Axwielder in attack mode, sacrificing it and Koumori Dragon to summon my other Dark Magician! Since I don't have anymore cards in my hand, I guess that ends my turn!" Good job Raikuru, just trust me on this one! The next card is the one you need, and you can attack next turn. Glad you're keeping track up there, cause I sure as hell ain't! That's why I'm here, Raikuru! Now pay attention, he's going to sacrifice Gravekeeper's Curse to summon something stronger. I can feel it. "I sacrifice Gravekeeper's Curse to summon Dark Magician Girl in attack mode, and I end my turn!" "Damn, little aibou's feeling was right. Oh well, guess what I have in store for you Atemu! I sacrifice my Magicians to summon the Sorcerer of Dark Magic in attack mode, and launch a full scake attack on your monsters!" (A/N: let's rcap on who has what now, shall we?)

Pharoah Atemu: Invader of Darkness 2900/2500 Dark Magician Girl 2600/1700 3 cards face-down in magic/trap zone

Raikuru: Black Luster SoldierMalevolent Nuzzler 3700/2500 Sorcerer of Dark Magic 3200/2800 Pyramid of Light

I.o.D. cancels SoDM out, and BLS takes 1100 life points and sends them to the graveyard with DMG

Pharoah Atemu: 2900 / Raikuru: 3200

" I play Protector of the Sanctuary in defense mode, and end my turn!" "This won't take much longer, I play Mystic Plasma Zone which increases my Sorcerer's attack power by 500 points! It's defense is lower, but it's attack is now the same as Black Luster Soldier's! And just for the fuck of it, I attack with Black Luster Soldier! Your turn, and your Protector is gone!" "I play Yomi Ship in defense mode and end my turn!" "Yawn! I play Vampire Orchis and attack your Yomi Ship, destroying both monsters! I also attack with the Sorcerer of Dark Magic, winning the duel!" With that, the Shadow Realm vanished and a defeated Atemu fell to his knees. The room had fallen silent since the duel began, the shock of seeing the Shadow Realm materialize before them must of scared them more than I thought. I let aibou take over again, settling in for a long nap.

(Kaido P.O.V.)

"You know, I could just take your Millennium Puzzle from you now. Seeing as I won it fair and square and all, Pharoah. In fact, Yami advises me to. I'd be one item closer to my goal if I took it, but I think I'll let you keep it for now. Yami doesn't like this idea, but since when does she agree with anything I do?" The bell rang a second later, signaling the end of school. I picked up my bag, handed Kaiba his Duel Disk, and walked out the door; stuffing my cards into my back pocket. Once I got home, I was met with the sharp smell combination of alcohol, blood, and piss. "Why does it smell like Kaiba's dog in here?!"

"Uh, cause Kaiba's dog is here. Kaiba himself is here, too. Says the two of you need to talk, or somethin' like that." Yeiyu, one of the bandits I lived with, said; gestering over his shoulder and jumping out of the way before Kaiba's dog Cerebrus barreled into him. The giant mutt then barreled into me, knocking me back out the door. "In your face, Kaido!"

"Get the FUCK off of me, Cerebrus!" Kaiba came out and pulled his dog off of me, sending it out to the backyard and helping me up. "So what brings you here, Kaiba? Do you want to bitch at me some more about failing at bringing Pegasus down, or are you just here for no reason?"

"No real reason, I just want to know how much longer the job I gave you would take to compleate. And Cerebrus got out, so I had to come find him." "It might take a while if the cops keep showing up, and I can't try on consecutive nights. It'll be at least a week before I can even try again, let alone take him out." "Haven't you ever heard of a gun, namely a sniper rifle?" "My pride rests with my sword, as does my skill. In other words, I can't shoot for shit!" "That's probably true, but I need this done soon. The faster you take his sorry ass out, the faster you get your money and get out of my sight!" "Don't worry, I'll get him eventually. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm missing my shows!" "AH! I forgot! C'mon Cerebrus, I'll bet I didn't even set the VCR!" Kaiba and his mutt ran home, and I ran upstairs to find Marik leaning against the wall in my room.

"What the hell a-" Marik cut me off with a kiss, forcing me backwads until I fell over my bed. Later that night, we were sitting awake watching the late night news.
