A/N: DON'T HURT ME! Ahem. The lack of update on Monday and Tuesday is not my, or the Update Mokey's Fault. In case you didn't try to log in over the last two days, I'll tell you that it wasn't working. But don't worry! You will still get the same number of daily updates, but it'll just go to Tuesday instead. Okay? Okay. Oh, and by the way, I had a great time on Camp! But I'm back now, and ready to write! And, I was very suprised at all the reviews that had appeared in my inbox... Thankyou! Here goes...

Review Responses: Just one thing... Rubik's Cube. Blame it on Word's oh-so-helpful auto-correct. I'll change the chapter title, but I'm not going back through all the chapter. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out.

Constance the Confused: Hmm... I didn't think he was all that obnoxious... And you fear the cliffie? Wait till the end of this chapter!

X: Oooh, mysterious anyomous reviewer... Ahem. And now I'm going to work backwards through all your reviews.Yes, Mokuba gets Karita for gym. At first I thought maybe he should be retired, but then I thought, well, Ryou has long hair, Mokuba has long hair, it's a bit of a sore subject... And then I thought, what the hell, why not? And here's another cliffie for ya, heeheehee. Hadoukens are good. Veeeeeeeery goooooood... (Has played too much Final Fantasy/ Read too much 8-bit) Yes, I LOVE dragons! Haven't seen the lego though... Hmm... Must keep my eye out for that. And I also Loved writing everyone getting bored. It was pretty fun! I do a Vader impression... (Breathes Heavily) Luke, I have asthma... Yeah. Only three people find that funny. Willowind, however, does a very funny Yoda impression which I have only heard about via E-mail and which she will probably hurt me for posting here: "Bad grammar I have. A speech defect I was born with. Hate these lines I do. Kill the writers of this script I must." Okay, now I'm going to stop this response before it becomes longer then the chapter.

Dragonlady222: Yeah, if you call sneaky blowing up a cell door. I think that shows some audacity myself...I am also very glad my sibling did it, otherwise I would've been hung my intestines.

Willowwind: I LOVE THE YODA IMPRESSION! Ahem. I was very suprised when I found there was a use for my siblings, but the world is a strange place. Crossaint hyperness? I thought that was just me! And as for Pain au chocolat, well... Yes, Lira is back, but why does that make you glad? Or is it still inexplicable? Well, by the end of chapter 12, you'll be suprised what he does...

Dreamer of Dragons: If you think your siblings are weird, you need to meet mine. Five Words: The Mister Snakey Snake Game. Just don't ask. Really.

Yllom21: Hope I spelt that right. It took me ages just to say it! Curse you Brummie accent... I full intend to continue, but 'hilarious and exciting'...? (Falls off chair at unexpected praise)

Gohan Hugger: I honestly wouldn't know if this is the best Teenage Mokie fics- I've never read any. But I'm glad you like it!

Devilsdaughter64: Seto plushies? Wow. Don't you wish they sold those? Or Ryou plushies. Even better!

Blarrrg, so many reviews... This chapter's short, by the way. Real short...

Disclaimer: No, no, no!

Eleven: Final Conquest #1

"Me?" Jenna asked, her mouth dry and biting back the urge to laugh hysterically. "But I don't know how to Duel… besides, I don't even have a disk or a deck or anything…"

"Then use someone else's." Lira shrugged. "And hurry up! I ent got all day!"

"She can't use someone else's deck!" Yugi protested. "A Deck isn't just cards, it's made up of your heart and soul! It's as individual as we are!"

"You've missed doing those little tirades, haven't you…?" Seto asked, not quite able to believe that Yugi was still spouting all this stuff.

"Well…" Yugi began sheepishly.

"You can use my deck." Ryou interrupted, speaking to Jenna, but for some reason he was talking in English. "Because, after all, you are everything in my heart."

This prompted several reactions.

Yugi and Mokuba, having no fluent understanding of English, blinked.

Seto rolled his eyes. They were all as bad as each other.

"Awwwwwww…" Azreal giggled.

Jenna blushed and stammered and didn't know what to say.

Ryou laughed at Jenna's expression until she wasn't sure whether his statement had been serious or not.

Lira grew impatient.

"Can we just get on with this people?" He said. "It's not like I'm gonna duel anyone else. Not even you, Kiyoko," He added. "As much as I'd like to crush you."

"Makes me wish I'd listened all those times you tried to show me how to play…" Jenna said nervously, as Ryou smiled reassuringly and showed her how to strap on one of the disks he'd brought from the flat. He had even had his cards out when they'd first met, that first day of college…

o-o-o-o-o- Fall through the mists of time…o-o-o-o

Jenna dashed madly through the doors, hoping desperately that this, at last, was her classroom.

Alas, it was a library. But according to her map, if she went out the back door of a library, she'd be in the right corridor.

She weaved in and out of shelves trying to run without looking like she was running. It was hopeless! This one of the college's number of libraries was huge and elaborate, seemingly endless… She came out into an apparently central area, though by now she had lost all faith in her sense of direction. There was a bunch of tables, and some computers as well as the books laid out on shelves in an incomprehensible filing system.

"You look lost." Someone commented. She turned to see a white-haired boy smiling at her from one of the tables. Apart from him, the place was deserted, so they could talk freely.

"I am…" Jenna groaned. "Any ideas where the Key Skills room is?"

"Not a clue!" He grinned "I couldn't find it either. Supposedly the class has been cancelled anyway."

Jenna collapsed into a chair near him. "Really? Well, at least I'm not late… so, we have a free lesson?"

"Assumedly." He smiled. "I'm Ryou Bakura, by the way."

"Hey." Jenna replied. "Jenna Notlaw. So… What's up with all the cards?"

This Ryou character had been sitting alone at the table, with a bunch of playing cards laid out in front of him, coloured in various shades of yellow, purple green, and one or two blue cards. Jenna was momentarily distracted by some of the pictures… some of these were really well drawn…

"They're Duel Monster Cards." He said, sounding a little surprised. "I was just changing my deck a little…"

"Oh." Jenna frowned. "Yeah, I think I've heard of 'em…"

"I guess they never did get all that popular over here then." Ryou laughed, but he looked a little sad as he stacked them back up. "They were just about to lose popularity in Japan too…"

"You're from Japan?"

"No… I just lived there for a while." He stood up. "Excuse me, I have to go and look for my next class so I actually find it before it starts!"

Jenna laughed, standing up to. "Good idea… Well, it was nice meeting you."

"Yes." He agreed. "Apparently your direction is as bad as mine. I expect we'll bump into each other again."

They began to leave in oppisite directions.

"Yeah! And maybe you can teach me that game of yours…"

o-o-o-o-o- Back to Reality o-o-o-o

She never had learnt to play. Ryou had tried on several occasions, but she hadn't been able to sit still long enough. The more experienced players attempted to give her a quick crash course.

"Yellow ones are monsters, Orange ones are effect monsters, Blue ones are Ritual Monsters, which can only be summoned if you play a special magic card…"

"Magic cards are green, by the way. You can tell what they do by reading them."

"Same with traps, except those are purple."

"And you have to pay tribute for monsters with more then four level stars!"

"Sacrifice one monster for level five or six monsters, and two for seven and above!"

"Remember, you start with 8000 Life Points and a hand of Five cards, then you draw at the start of each turn!"

Jenna stepped forward into the box as they continued to shout rules at her.

"Some Magic cards are Field cards, and they change the arena you're playing on."

"Yeah, then there's Quick Play, Ritual, Equipment and even some-"

Mokuba was cut off abruptly. Jenna turned, slightly unsteady, and saw that the others were watching from behind a glass wall that had sprung up from the floor. Mokuba was still saying something, but Jenna could hear none of it.

"Sound proof glass." Her opponent smirked, "We couldn't have this be a fair fight, now could we?"

"Shut up…" Jenna mumbled. The lack of food and especially water was beginning to affect her…

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"Give it up." Seto told the others, who were still trying to teach Jenna how to play. "She can't hear you."
Azreal sank down to the floor beside him. "I'm surprised you're willing to entrust your fate to a complete novice." She commented.

"I'm not. But there's not much I can do right now."

Ryou's hand curled into a fist. "This isn't fair…" He muttered angrily. "He only picked her because she's hurt and because she doesn't have a clue how to play…"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Jenna's hand shook as she reached out to draw her hand. Or was it her vision blurring? She blinked, suspecting it was both. As her fingers made contact with the top card of Ryou's deck, she closed her eyes.

This was it. Everyone was counting on her! But she had no idea how to play, and she was so tired…

Okay, deck. She thought, half laughing at herself for talking to a stack of cards. You don't know me, and I know nothing about you. But between us we hafta get everyone outta here, so I'd appreciate your help… Just give me the pieces of the puzzle and I'll do what I can to put them together.

"Quit stalling!" Lira snapped, causing her to open her eyes again. "Get on with it!"

Jenna nodded, sent up one final plea- whether to some unseen God or to the deck itself, she'd never know- but then, taking a deep breath she drew five cards from the top of the pile, scanning them.

There was no orange or yellow in sight, which meant no monsters. Was that good or bad? She couldn't tell, it seemed Ryou's deck was made up of a mixture of English and Japanese cards. While she spoke fluent Japanese, asking her to read it was impossible and a waste of time. There was one English card- Monster Reborn, which sounded as though it may come in useful later, and one that was in Japanese, but for some reason the picture was of a large letter 'N'…

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

They were only a few moves in, but Jenna had already lost more then half her life points, down to 3000, while Lira remained unscathed. She really had no idea what she was doing. She had tried to use her Monster Reborn much earlier, only to discover there was nothing to revive. Since then, all she had drawn was letters. She had attempted to play some of the Japanese Magic and Trap cards, with no clue what they did, because she had to discard them if she didn't. It was worth just trying to activate them.

But she still had no monsters! And, by this point, she had come to realise that that was bad. Lira had some sort of powered up creature on his side of the field, all Jenna had was some Purple card with a load of people dressed in Blue Robes on it.

Her concentration was failing… she knew that if she paid attention to what Lira was doing, she might learn something, but she was so tired…

"And now, I shall attack for the last time!" Lira yelled. "I love to say that it was a good game, but this is the most pathetic fight I've ever had!"

The Monster was coming towards here. Surely this would kill her… Unless…

"I activate… my trap card… thingee." Jenna shrugged, flipping it face up and hoping desperately it would help. To her surprise, for the first time in the game, it did, as Waboku appeared, absorbing the attack.

"One lucky move…" Lira snarled as Jenna punched the air. "But I doubt you have another Waboku… So you have one more move."

"One more move…" Jenna repeated dully, crossing her fingers as she drew. Still no monsters! Just another letter- that was all she had drawn since she started playing! What, was this a deck or friggin' alphabet soup? She had been collecting these letters, never discarding them but not knowing why she kept them… She was sure they were trying to tell her something… N, L, I, F,A. There was something about them.

If only she could remember what it was.

All her brain wanted to do was shut down…

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

A/N: This was the original A/N as typed on Thursday night:

A/N: Ahhhhhhh! Oh no! Will Jenna be able to get through the Match! Seeing as it's my fic, you never know what will happen… Oh, and if I didn't make it very clear: I am going camping tomorrow, which is Friday the 27th. I am going on a Christian Camp till the Monday. While I am away, my sister will be updating for me. So by the time you are reading this, I'll be on my last day of camp.

And now, let's hear it for the Update Monkey that's kept this fic up while I was gone! (Claps and Cheers) Thank you from me, and my readers!

On a final note, I am tired after writing chapters 8-11 in three days.

Until tomorrow…
