MP: K here's the next chapter. It may seem weird so bear with me and I apologize it you find it lame. Remember any duels will be very condensed since I am not good at describing them.
Chapter 9
They saw Haru. "So your Joey's son?" said the girl. "Yah so what." Said Haru. "I'm Leila, Duke's daughter." She said holding her hand out. "Didn't ya old man make mine dress up in a doggy costume?" asked Haru. "Yes." She said. Haru turned to the boy. "Bakura's son right?" he asked. "Yes. I'm Hikaru." He said. "This is the masked duelist Yami." He said pointing to Yami Sakura. He/She (Because it's both of them in control at that time because she briefly took over when she asked him about playing it low.) noticed and waved. "I think it's a guy but you can't tell with the clothing like that." He said and he saw Alex walk up and slap him. "That was inappropriate cousin!" she yelled. Yami Sakura had to suppress a laugh.
"Cousin?" said Leila. Haru nodded rubbing his cheek. Pegasus (who wasn't sure that Sakura was the masked duelist, but suspected it) appeared in hologram form. "Welcome to my island. This time the duelists will assigned a territory. I assure this island is big enough. It's not the same island from the last tournament. So Will Alexandra Kaiba, Yami, and Haru Wheeler step forward." He said. They did. "You will get to pick you territories." He said. and an image appeared before tehm with several icons on it. "I pick the palm tree." Said Haru.
"You get territory 33.786 your disc will light up when you approach it." Said Pegasus. "I would like the cliff icon territory." Said Alexandra. "Your territory is right over there." Said Pegasus's hologram pointing to the cliffs near by. "I chose the sphinx." Said Yami Sakura. "Your territory is the only desert territory and I tell you this because that's an old model duel disk and yours isn't connected to my new system." Said Pegasus. The trio nodded and left the dock and were the first on shore. They split up once Alexandra went to her territory. They faintly heard that they had two strikes and they were off the island. Defeat your opponent you get their territory or you get to leave your territory and roam.
Many groans were heard because Yami had the least inviting territory. Sakura knew that they would be allowed to camp on other territories there on your way to your territory.
Since she was pretending to be two people, she'd have to pretend to be a friend of Haru's who wasn't there to duel. Pegasus allowed this now. Yami Sakura decided until a duel actually happened Sakura would be in charge. She stopped only once to change into her out fit as Haru's friend. She stopped in a wooded territory. She walked around for a bit and spotted some one else.
This some one had a glowing duel disk. Sakura found a clearing and settled down. She set her things down and gathered some wood for a fire. It was close to sunset when the boy with the glowing disk approached her because she had a fire lit. The disk stopped glowing. "Hi. I'm Sakura. I'm here for my friend Haru but he doesn't know I'm here yet." She said. "Haru? Oh Wheeler's son." Said the boy. It was Hikaru. "I'm Hikaru Bakura." He said. "Sakura Mutou." She said.
"You related to Yugi?" he asked. "Yes." She said. She knew the tri-colored hair wasn't what gave him that hint because her bandana/ scarf covered up her bangs. "So how long do you think it's take for that Yami to make it to their territory?" he asked. "Not much longer I would think. Ay even be there already. I'm hopelessly lost at the moment but I'll find Haru eventually. His mouth's too big not to find." She said.
"Sounds like some one's mad about something." Said an annoying voice. "Hello Weevil. So you've scuttled out here too?" she asked. "Well it's good to see an old opponents child. You are much like he was now tell me why are you keeping up this masquerade as Yami?" he asked. "Me, Yami? HAHAHA You must be a Loony Toon. I'm only here to support Haru." She said. "Say what you like but I will expose you. Then I'll defeat you and claim your god cards. This is the only good thing to come from-" SMACK! Sakura slapped him so hard he was sent flying.
"You are lucky I was not a son. Other wise you'd have been beaten to a pulp!" she yelled. A Yami in ghost form watch Sakura with wide eyes. 'Who's the lighter half here? Her for me or me for her?' he thought. She let him walk away and she went to her bag and pulled out some canned foods. "You want diner?" she asked. He nodded. She opened the cans and handed him a can of cold raviolis and a spoon from her bag she had a can of sausages. She ate these with her fingers.
"So you seem to be more prepared than most on the boat." He said. "Yes. I was thinking of the path ahead." She said. "So do you duel?" asked Bakura. "No, I don't. I really don't know how. I was four when my father disappeared." She said. She looked at Hikaru and she knew he knew she was lying. "Bad at lying aren't I?" she said. "Yes." He said. "Well I'm guessing it's my voice that betrayed me." She said. "Yes and your slow response time." She pulled out her deck and said, "I'm not going to duel you but how bout I try to predict your future?" she said.
"Sure." He said. She shuffled the deck a lot and then drew three cards and placed them on her lap. She pointed to the on her right "Past. She turns it over and sees baby dragon. "It seems you had a very good child hood." She flipped over the present card. It revealed Magician of faith. "You believe very strongly that I'm some one I'm not." she said. "Yes. I believe you are Yami." He said shocked. She hesitated when she reached future. She flipped it and it was Pixie Knight.
"You will be defeated yet you will grant power to the one you try to protect." She said. "Sounds good except the future." He said. She reshuffled it and then said, "I will predict my own fate." She said. She drew another 3 and she flipped over the first. "Card destruction. Well that makes sense seeing I had a horrible child hood. The next one is Wall of Illusion. Also makes perfect sense. My future." She said. She pause only for a split second.
"Change of heart. I will change my resolve on something. That doesn't make sense." She said. :;.It'll make sense in time.;: said Yami. At the same time as Hikaru. "According to my watch it is 9:00. Good night." She said and pulled out her blanket , ground sheet and pillow. She put her deck in her other out fit's pocket as Hikaru rolled out his sleeping bag. She took off her shoes and crawled under her blanket and quickly fell asleep. Hikaru sat awake and her finally realized what she had been wearing the whole time; the millennium puzzle.
"She must be." He muttered. He slipped into his sleeping bag and went to sleep. Sakura, however wasn't finding peace in her sleep.
Sakura's dream
She was 4 again and she was running from a flying monster. "FATHER PLEASE HELP ME!" she cried out in this dream. A dark man appeared and said, "Your father can't even help him self let alone you." She tripped and the monster dove in for the kill. She screamed and she was screaming when she woke up.
Hikaru was still asleep and she was covered in sweat. She laid back down. She closed her eyes and she then found herself in the mind corridor. Yami looked worried. "It was a night mare from when I was 4. I've only had it once in the last 2 years. It's always the same." She said. "You'll be alright." "Yes. It usually only repeats twice." She said. She walked back to her room and she went to sleep. In the real world Yami in ghost form was watching over her. Hikaru woke up and he saw the figure. He knew it was a spirit from its transparency.
"Who are you?" asked Hikaru. Yami was shocked. "You can see me?" he asked. "Yes." Said Hikaru. "I'm Atem. I preferred to be called Yami." He said. "Are you connected to a duelist using your name?" asked Hikaru. "I might be." He said and he went back into the puzzle. Hikaru went back to sleep. He woke up to the campfire properly put out, and a note saying; Thanks for letting me stay on your territory, Sakura.
Sakura had just reached her territory when he was reading her note. She set her things down and changed into an out neither parent ever wore; a wide strapped light blue Tank top, a very light over shirt, and long khaki shorts. She pulled on sandals and she took the cans and dipped them in water. She knew that if she conserved it she would last 4 hours with the cans of water. 'Forget that' she thought. She pulled out her deck and pulled out from her deck the sonic bird. She said a chant from the outside of the puzzle box and she summoned a real sonic bird.
"Search for an oasis." She commanded in Egyptian. It took off flying. :;.You seemed to have mastered shadow magic.;: said Yami. :Not really. That's the only spell I could think of trying. It's back.: she thought spoke to Yami. It was happy. She reached out and patted its head and said, "Thank you." In Egyptian. It pointed to her black land fire dragon. She called it forth . She gathered her things and climbed on its back. "To the oasis." She said in Egyptian and it took off and flew forward very quickly.
It landed her on the edge of a very nice looking oasis. "Is there any way for you to give lifts to those who come here?" she asked the dragon in Egyptian.
It pointed to her deck. She spread out the cards and it pointed to spirit of the breeze. (One of the few cards she added to her father's deck.) she summoned it and she was feeling weaker. "It wants you to post me at the edge of the desert so that I could call to it if the mortal who wanders to the desert wants to go to the oasis." It said. "Thank you." She said in Egyptian. "Not a problem mistress." Said the monster. It flew of and the dragon laid down near a lake.
