Well Ch. 6, after this the story probably won't come as fast (sob the AP world is so cruel) well I hope your enjoying the story so far. Its my favorite chapter so far (we get to see more into Cirquet's character!)

I should probably explain some of the rules that come with the "New Cards"

Angethello's Rules

Basically no fusion card needed for fusion cards, you simply have to skip your battle phase.

Anytime someone draws a card outside of the draw phase they get to draw another bonus card for each card drawn after the draw phase

(basically if you use Pot of Greed you get four cards instead of two)

There is no set hand limit (can be called before the duel)

No side deck

Anything with an asterisk () by it is my own card design

Yu Gi Oh! does not belong to me, oh well there's always fantasies sigh

Thanks for the reviews, Enjoy

"Uh, hmm, I think he snapped to Mokuba," Cirquet giggled almost musically Seto noticed.

"What?" Seto barked showing his annoyance.

"Uh we wanted to know if you would come with us to get some food." Mokuba asked.

"…we…?" Seto asked incredulously.

"Mokuba and I are going to get some pizza, wanna come?"

Seto thought about the offer, it would allow him to get closer to the girl, and possibly even discover her weaknesses and strengths. Besides he had enough locator cards to get away with not dueling for at least two during the week long tournament.

"Fine," he answered coldly.

"So Cirquet before you came here where did you live?" Mokuba asked as he wolfed down another slice of pizza.

"Several places," she answered gawking at how fast Mokuba ate the pizza.

"Where exactly?" Seto asked as Mokuba went for his second slice of pizza.

"Well namely America, but I did a year of graduate study in Britain, and I worked at several museums in Russia, India, France, and Norway. But before I came here I was in Brazil working with a friend who was trying to find the relationships of between the Eastern ancient cultures like Mesopotamia and Western ancient cultures like the Incas of Peru."

"Hmm, I half expected you to say you had been in Egypt," Seto muttered.

"Oh, no, I haven't been to Egypt, in fact the only African country I've been too is, well…South Africa," Cirquet answered with a smile.

"So you've been just about on every continent?" Mokuba asked.

"Yeah, except Antarctica," Cirquet giggled.

Mokuba and Cirquet continued to joke around both of them laughing. Seto continued to watch and listen he didn't even notice the smile that crept up on his own. Cirquet caught a glimpse of it and winked at Mokuba to let him know, but he was in a fit of giggles over Cirquet's last joke. Then a low laugh came, sending chills down Cirquet's back, Seto was actually laughing, he and Mokuba both. A warm feeling crept over Cirquet and she couldn't help but smile warmly at the two. Tummies were full, and hearts were a little more light, by the time the meal was over (aww I think my sweet tooth is hurting).

"Uh…Cirquet, uh where are you going now?" Mokuba asked not really wanting her to leave.

"Well I'll just try to find some more duels; I have four locator cards already, so I only need four more to make it to the semifinals."

"Uh…you already have four?" Seto asked rather incredulously.

"Yeah, but I get the feeling it'll be pretty hard to find duelist who will challenge me after today's show. I think I really should have held out a little longer…" Cirquet muttered to herself. "Well anyways good luck you two."

"Yeah you to!" Mokuba yelled out.

Cirquet was about to walk away when she was pushed back towards Kaiba, who had caught her before she could fall to the floor.

"Uh thanks, but gees what's the big deal?" Cirquet yelled out.

"Heh, thought ya never ask," came a familiar sneer (no it's not Marrik/Mallik).

Cirquet recognized the voice; it belonged to someone whom she did not want to see, especially here.

"Well little Miss Asbury, thinks she can get this whole tournament without facin me, don't you think Brunks?"

"…Yeah…" Brunks answered with a dimwitted reply.

"You'll show me some respect Ashley (it's a guy in case you're wondering guys can have that name too, like the Ashley from O-Town…bad example). I am your superior and you shall treat me as such. Mokuba, Seto we should leave now, nothing but bad news follows these two," Cirquet said with a little quiver of fear in her voice, she knew about their latest doings and wasn't about to let anyone get hurt.

The two merely giggled at Cirquet's warning.

"Scarred are we…heh, figures, I was going to challenge you, but if you're frightened, well…"

Seto could feel Cirquet tense up from his statement and thought it was out of fear, but he could see it was out of pure anger, for some reason Cirquet held back, he noticed.

"…Boss…let's…duel…Asbury …and…her…boyfriend…heh…" Brunks asked in his slow manner.

"Oh, I see now, little Asbury's got herself a new boyfriend…and if I didn't know any better I'd say that he's Seto Kaiba himself. Well then you two up for it or are we goanna have to force you."

Seto was getting angry now, he hated people like these and he was going to teach them a lesson on his own.

"Seto don't…" Cirquet whispered under her breath so that only he could hear. "These two are cheaters, through and through, you can be the best, but they'll find away around it. They're vicious and like a huge reward. They won't be after just your rare cards and locator cards; they'll be after something else." Mokuba saw her hand close tightly around Kaiba's.

"Can you beat them?" Seto whispered.

"…Yes but…"

"Then we'll duel them together," he asked coolly.

"No! It's my duel, and my problem," Cirquet glowered; something about her manner had changed. Darkness seemed to have gathered in her eyes, dulling the usual bright glow. Hatred, Kaiba recognized it immediately; he knew that feeling all too well.

"Heh, great, well Asbury will you take on both me and Brunks?"

"All tear you in half," was her calm reply.

The dueling ground was set and the duel was about to begin.

"Asbury, you may be allowed to set the rules and the stakes of the game we are playing for," Ashley sneered.

Cirquet thought about this, Angethello's rules were much more complex then allowing a person to fusion with out a polymerization card.

"Oh but you know what we want. You see, accepting this duel meant you're our prey, if you lose, your soul is ours," Ashley laughed with hysteria. "Now Asbury what will you wager?"

Seto looked up towards Cirquet who was thinking with her finger in her mouth. Seto couldn't help but stare at the childish act. Cirquet's eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.

"You have to give up any and all locater cards you have and forfeit your place in the tournament," she announced.

"No problem, we don't plan on losing do we Brunks, not with that little handy cap of yours Asbury!"

"Handy cap? I think mistaken," Seto replied with a malicious grin on his face.

"Whatever!" Ashley shrugged off his warning.

A crowd already gathered for the duel. Kaiba and Cirquet versus Ashley and Brunks. The two had a noted reputation, one Cirquet wasn't all too familiar with, but she new enough to know the two brought trouble any where the went. Countless souls were lost to them, they would usually team up and over power, a perfect match, one brain the other brawn. If she could knock them out of the tournament, maybe she could save a few souls from being replaced.

"I'll go first," Cirquet announced as she set two magic cards face down ( Flute of Summoning Dragons and Supreme Disgrace), and summoned a defense monster (Dragon Dwelling in the Cave or Cave Dragon). (C8000)

"Defensive?" Seto questioned her actions. Cirquet simply looked forward, ignoring his questions, she dueled against the two before, but never together, and still didn't mean they couldn't have changed their strategies from before.

'It's been three years since…no, this is no time to get distracted.' Cirquet thought to herself.

"What's a madder' Asbury, thinking about some past deeds are we?" Ashley teased with a malice grin. His eyes threatened to tell stories about the past to reveal a dark past not so well hidden within Cirquet's own ashened heart.

"Just go," Cirquet growled her eyes filling with hatred for the ignorant Ashley.

"Fine then, I'll play my Inaba White Rabbit (700?) and attack your life points directly, and while I'm at it I'll just lay two cards down as well (Seven Tools of the Bandit, Dragon Capture Jar), your turn Brunks," he sneered. (A4000)

"Great…time…to…crush…defense…" he said as he placed his Battle Ox (1700?) on the field and sent it after Cirquet's defense monster. (B4000)

"Sorry but my dragon has more defensive power than your Ox has attack."

"No I'm sorry Asbury, but your defense has become wide open when your precious dragon falls under my spell, activate Dragon Capture Jar! Now Brunks crush her life points!"

The Ox rushed up towards Cirquet, knocking her down to the ground. She was too distracted to keep her mind in the duel, she knew she had to focus, but with the secrets Ashley knew, it was only a wonder she could keep focus.

'If I don't focus I'll lose my soul, and who knows whose filthy soul will be placed in my body,' she thought as she drew her card, 'great, just the card I needed!'

"All right, enough play, I'll activate Supreme Disgrace, this reduces any summoned card by five stars, therefore letting me summon any high level monster with no tribute. Now I'll play my Green Eyes Silver Dragon! While I'm at it I'll also play this magic card, The Great Deliver, which allows me to special summon any monster to the field from my hand, and I'll choose my Lord of Dragons. Still not quite done yet, along with Lord of Dragons, I'll use the Flute of Summoning Dragons to play two other dragons. Say hello to Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2800) and Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400?). Now I'll fuse my four monsters together, Light, Wind, and Darkness combine to form one of my ultimate monsters Dragon Priestess of Elementai (?). I'll end my turn by placing two cards face down (Wabuki and Finders Fortune). (C5600)

"What all that and your dragon has no attack or defense!" Ashely laughed hysterically.

Mokuba looked up towards Cirquet not really believing what he saw, while Kaiba just thought to himself how worthless this new card was and that she had a perfectly good chance to take a major chunk out of one of the two duelists.

"All right then, first I'll place two more cards face down (Reverse Trap and Ominous Fortuneteller) I'll summon yet again, Inaba White Rabbit to attack your life points directly."

"Sorry about this, I summon to the field, Green Eyes Silver Dragon and with its special ability to raise the attack of any dragon on the field by 1000, my Dragon Priestess now has 3000 attack points, including the 2000 point bonus it gains when a dragon is played. Now Dragon Priestess, attack his rabbit and send it back to his hat!"

"No way, how the hell!" Ashley screamed.

"Oh don't you know my Dragon Priestess is allowed to take the full force of any attack that threatens my life points, not to mention the fact that by simply offering a card from my hand I can summon any dragon to the field."

"Whatever!" (A1700)

"Your turn Brunks," Cirquet smiled maliciously causing Brunks to quiver in fear. Though dim witted he was smart enough to back out when Cirquet grew angry, he was told that you see a side of her that very few have ever seen or at least lived to tell about it. Compared to Cirquet and Ashley, he had a clean record, he just happened to owe a debt, but that wasn't enough to keep him by Ashley's side.

"I'm…outta…of…dis…" he quivered, "Ashley…I…not… goanna …lose …I's…goanna…quit…"

"What you coward! You owe me and you will continue this duel, she hasn't even touched you!"

"Oh, Ashley, too afraid to do anything with out someone else," Cirquet teased remorselessly, she loved this part. She looked at Brunks, he was shaking perhaps he feared she would play something terrible, like those six. If they were called out, he wouldn't know what to do. Cirquet looked over towards Mokuba, and saw something she hadn't expected, fear, it shocked her. She never saw anyone with that sort of fear before, especially someone she cared for. She had always been this way, it was a part of her, something she was born with. Compassion over came her for Brunks apparent fear of her, though this was nothing new. "Let him go Ashley, if he wants back out let him, you have no control over him."

"Stay out of this Asbury! Brunks you stay in now and play, we had an agreement."

"But…were…goanna…lose…and…then…they'll…come…for …us… for…attacking…her…" was his dim witted reply.

"Fine then you coward I'll defeat her on my own, it's your turn Asbury."

"Thanks." Cirquet's eyes changed again to bright green, there was no way she would lose and with one more attack the duel would be over. "Now I'll summon Tyrant Dragon (2800?) and thanks to my Supreme Disgarce card I don't have to offer any tributes. Now Green Eyes attack him directly, Force Gale Blast!"

The duel was over in a green blur. Ashley laid leveled, knocked down by the force of the blast.

"You win, you little…heh…just do your worst," Ashley grunted.

Cirquet walked over towards Ashley scooping up his fallen locator cards. "You're neither worth their time nor my effort," she whispered in his ear.

Cirquet stepped lightly away gaining four locator cards from the duel, enough to not have to duel again for the remaining tournament. "Sorry, you had to see that," she quietly nodded to the frightened Mokuba before leaving both Kaibas in bewilderment.
