Me: Oi!
Reviewers: -growls-
Me: o.o okay okay. I haven't updated in like…a year. But my writing has improved!
Reviewers: -growls more-
Me: aahh! Don't hurt me please! And don't take away my cheese! –Grips cheese protectively- Okay; I'll explain what I've been doing. My computer was stupid so I couldn't log onto So I spent my time improving my writing. And I'm trying to clear up my profile since I think it is unnecessarily long. And I've been watching tons of Japanese anime with English subtitles so I'm in this habit to use Japanese in my stories now…To make up for the time that I haven't updated, I made chapter that was longer than usual. Anyhoo, enjoy. -
I'll post up translations at the beginning and end of each chapter.
Translations:
Baka: stupid
Ano: umm…
Konichiwa: hello
Urusei: shut up
Hai: Sure
Gomen nasai: Very sorry
Ikimashou: Let's go
/Hikari and Yami mentally speaking/
………………………………………….
Yugi opened his eyes drowsily to find another face next to his.
"Yeeeeeaaaaaaa!" Yugi screeched and fell off his bed with a loud thump! Scurrying upright, he saw Yashizo, curled up like a dog, sleeping.
"Yash?" He said tentatively. Yashizo blinked her brown eyes drowsily and yawned.
"Hm?"
"Just what are you doing on my bed? In the first place, what are you doing in my house?" Yugi demanded.
"Winter. Kinda cold out there," she replied. Yugi nodded, then grinned as he pulled off the grey bandanna on her upper right arm. Yashizo made a quick snatch at it, but Yugi dodged, laughing. Every time she made a grab for it, Yugi danced out of her reach, giggling madly. Suddenly, there was a flash from Yashizo's ruby stone on her necklace, making Yugi yelp in surprise and fall on his arse. When Yugi opened his eyes, it was obvious that in front of him wasn't the same Yash as before. Yashizo's claws twitched as she carelessly brushed a silver lock away from her face. Her eyes opened to show golden hues and fangs peeked out from under her lip. But the most peculiar thing were (A/N: All Inuyasha fans know this) the two triangular, fluffy dog-ears perched on the top of her head. The grey bandanna was snatched from Yugi and before he could utter a single word, she had the bandana tied around her head to cover the dog-ears and had yanked open the window, preparing to jump out. She paused for a second to hear what Yugi was saying.
"Yash? Before you go, can you tell the others that we're going to meet at the park around...mmm…say 2:00 today?" Yugi said. Yashizo gave a curt nod of the head and jumped out, but not before hearing Yugi's last remark, "Oh yeah, next time warn me if your going to scare the pee out of me by having a surprise visit."
Valon yanked the black shirt over his fluffy hair and walked to the sink to brush his teeth. He sighed, as he squirted the toothpaste onto the toothbrush, wondering where he should go that day to ride his motorcycle.
"Hey, Valon."
Valon almost swallowed the toothbrush, as he whipped around. Yashizo raised an eyebrow at seeing a red toothbrush hanging loosely in the boy's hand. Valon, seeing her look, hastily rinsed out.
"Ummm…Hey Yashizo. What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Yugi wanted me to tell you that the groups going to meet at two today," She left in a blink of an eye to deliver the message to someone else. Valon shook his head as he pulled on a red jacket and snatched up his keys to his motorcycle and his goggles. As he started to walk out the door, something caught his eye. He closed the window before he left.
Beep…beep…beep…beep
Joey's hand groped around to hit the "off" button. Once he found it, he tried to unsuccessfully try to push the jammed button down as the beeping of the alarm clock grew faster.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
Beep beep…beep beep…beep beep…Poke. Jab. jab. Poke.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!Smack! Slam! Smack! Slam!
Beepbeepbeepbeepbeep"Arrrrgg! Damnit!"
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Crunch!
"You go through that every morning?" Joey shrieked and looked up at the owner of the voice. "And so you always scream like that?" Valon said. Joey, once getting a hold of himself responded back indignantly.
"No! What and how are you doing in my house? Get out!" Joey growled.
"Umm…through the front door, maybe?" Valon said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. He then looked around nonchalantly. "And you call this a house? Whatever. Meet everyone at the park at 2. See ya later, mutt." With those words, Valon kicked the door open and hopped out cheerfully before Joey could respond. Joey was still muttering rebellious words when the phone rang. He jumped and fumbled with the phone, dropping it several times.
"Hello?" Joey said into it.
"Hey, Joey," it was Yugi. Joey sighed, but regretted it as Yugi's worried tone could be heard, "What's wrong Joey? You okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I just thought for a sec that you would be-ahh…never mind."
"…Okay…anyways, you get the message?"
"Yeah, meet at the park at 2. I got it." Joey glanced at the clock.
"Call the others and tell them that,"
"'mkay Yug. Bye," Click, and the phone line went dead.
--------- Park 2:00 pm ----------
Everyone arrived at the park, everyone except Ryou.
Yugi glanced around worriedly, "You guys sure you got the message to him?"
Tristian nodded, "Yeah. Here he comes now." The group turned around to see Ryou running towards them waving. He came up to them and bent over, panting.
"Sorry guys! I was too busy trying to make Bakura return the stolen jewelry to look at the time," Ryou could see Bakura scowling at him in his soul room. Tea nodded understandingly. Serena brushed a hand across her face to wipe away the forming sweat.
"Boy, is it hot out here!" She exclaimed. Tristan moved forward to place his hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"You guys want to get some ice cream?" Tea suggested. Everyone nodded, except for Valon and Yashizo who declined quietly.
"I'll pay for it," Joey said, after a glance from Mai.
/What is this…ice cream/ Bakura asked Ryou.
Ryou smiled. /I let you have some./
Bakura stared at the vanilla ice cream hopelessly. It was in a cup, in the process of melting, and he didn't know what to do with it, regardless of Ryou's instructions.
/Its food. You eat it./ Bakura blinked. Ryou, in his soul room, sighed. /Fine, just look at the others eat it then./ That choose to be bad advice as Bakura decided to watch Joey consume huge spoonfuls of his ice cream. Bakura grinned in triumph. Ha! Stupid ice cream thought it would get the better of him, eh? Now that he knew how to defeat it…Bakura bared his teeth, preparing to bite the Ra-damned thing in one chomp… /Bakura…umm…I don't think that's such a good idea-/ It was too late as Bakura had taking a particularly huge bite out of his ice cream, immediately spitting it out, hitting everyone around him as he yelped.
"It's cold!" He sputtered. The people who were unlucky enough to get hit glared at him, and attempted to wipe off the ice cream. /What do you expect? Uggg…just lick it./ Ryou groaned. Bakura, following his hikari's instruction this time, enjoyed the rest of the sugary cold treat, ignoring the angry looks from his friends. Soon the ice cream was reduced to a styrofoam cup and a spoon, which didn't taste as good. Sango, watching the boy attempt to bite the spoon in half, held out her chocolate ice cream kindly, making Seto smile inwardly. That too, had disappeared down to the same old spoon and cup. Bakura looked up and licked his lips, "I want more."
Joey glanced at his wallet and groaned.
Just as Bakura was starting his fifth serving of ice cream, a girl tapped him on the shoulder. She seemed to shrink in size; terrified of the angry look Bakura gave her for interrupting his tasty snack.
The girl had blond hair and hazel colored eyes. Bakura snarled, "What the hell do you want!"
/That was awfully mean, Bakura. Let me take over, she seems familiar. Unless you want the girl to call the police for harassment like the last time you met a female, Baka Bakura…/ Bakura mentally flushed at Ryou's words. The girl glanced at the white-haired boy as his eyes softened.
"I'm sorry for my previous actions. I was merely surprised. May I be any assistance to you?" He said with a sincere voice. He really did sound sorry to the girl.
She giggled nervously, "Hey, I go to your school. Remember me from the other day?"
/She goes to my school…? What's her name…Ano…/ Ryou racked his brains for her name.
/Alice./ Bakura's cold voice cut through his mind.
/Huh/
/Her name is Alice/
/And how do you know that/ There was silence. /Bakura/ More silence. /Baka Bakura, did you steal something/
/Ermm…I…stole a necklace from her room that had her name formed with rubies on it…/ Bakura admitted. Ryou mentally groaned.
/Ugg…you're going to return the necklace, now I need to know what see wants./
/No, you don't/
/What/
/Remember the other day/ Bakura asked. Ryou did remember it, clearly.
-Flashback-
Ryou strolled through the schoolyard. He was early for school so he was taking his time to get to class. A girl ran up to him, hiding her face partly behind a book.
"H-hello," she stuttered nervously.
"Konichiwa. You need something?" Ryou smiled.
/You sound like the help fairy or something/ Bakura muttered.
/Urusei, Baka Bakura/
"Yeah. My name is Alice There's this boy that I like…his name's Houjo. Umm…You think you can hang around with him and try to get me a date with him?" Alice blushed furiously and hid more of her face with the book.
/Just why is she asking this/ Bakura demanded. Ryou mentally shrugged. Bakura's face suddenly lifted up. /I know! Because she knows that you're the one to be nice enough to do this for her. Peh! What a weak hikari/
/Urusei, Baka Bakura/ Ryou repeated.
"Hai, sure." Ryou gave her another childish smile and walked off to class as the bell rang.
---Lunch---
Ryou grabbed his tray and instead of walking to the normal table with Yugi's group, he went over to Houjo's table and sat down. The football players that Houjo sat with cracked their hands menacingly. One of them got up.
"What are you doing sitting her, runt? Get away from our table!" Ryou glanced at Yugi's table. Everyone there was chatting away aimlessly.
/This is a time when I need Yashizo or something. But she's probably sleeping in a tree/ Ryou muttered to Bakura.
/Peh! What do we need a girl for/ Ryou's eyes darkened and his hair became spikier. He walked- no, stormed to the football player who had talked and grabbed the front of his shirt. He lifted him off the ground easily.
"What do you mean your table? Well, it looks like today your going to havta share it," he growled. He squeaked and was immediately thrown across the floor. Bakura sat down bad temperly, just as the bell rang.
"Uhh…I gotta go to the class with…uhh…numbers and stuff now," Houjo grinned at his own brilliance at creating such a complex sentence. Bakura raised an eyebrow.
"Umm…you mean math?"
"Oh yeah! Math. That's it." Houjo grinned again. Bakura sighed.
/My do I feel sorry for you, hikari/ There was no response.
---After school---
Ryou flopped on his bed and groaned. He was exhausted, and it didn't take a genius to figure it out.
"Tough day, eh?" Ryou looked up to see the faint outline of his yami.
"Yeah. Where have you been all day?"
"Looking for things to steal…and partly running away so that I don't have to talk to Houjo,"
"Smart…" Ryou muttered.
"Well?" Ryou glanced at his yami.
"What?"
"You know what. You know, Houjo? What happened between you two?" Bakura asked. Ryou sighed.
"Well, to be truthful, Houjo has to be the dimmiest, most broken bulbs this world has ever seen." Bakura snickered. Ryou glared at him, irritated.
"And this is coming from the help fairy," He smirked. "Plus that time that you spent was totally worthless,"
"What do you mean?" Ryou asked, confused.
"I'm saying that you wasted your time. Alice didn't want a date with Houjo. She has a crush on you. She just wanted some information on you so she made a deal with Houjo. She was planning to ask you out and have a perfect date sometime later." Ryou gapped at him, opening his mouth several time. Bakura grinned.
"I can't believe this! Wait a minute. Where did you learn this information?"
He shrugged, "I have my resourced…"
"Baka Bakura."
"Baka help fairy."
-End flashback-
/Yeah, I remember that…/
"So…what do you need now, Alice?" Ryou asked. He was nervous, he admitted. He was wondering what terrible thing Alice had in store now. Alice opened her mouth to respond what she was going to say, when suddenly Yugi, or rather Yami, as he was taller than Ryou, grabbed his hand, with an urgent look in his eyes. Ryou knew what it meant. There was a duels monster on the loose somewhere. Ryou was whisked away and he never got to know what Alice wanted.
"Gomen nasai, Alice! Maybe next time. I have to go!" He called to her.
It was a Komori Dragon, a huge one, rampaging the city. Yashizo grinned.
"This one's easy. Let's get 'im," She whipped out her Tesusaiga that immediately transformed into a huge sword. Tea and Serena stayed back with their bow and arrows. The rest in the front pulled out their weapons. Ryou retreated to his soul room and Bakura pulled out his deck.
"Ikimashou!" Joey's ran forward, his katana ripping out free, as he gave a wild yell and slashed down on the beast's head. With a load roar, it grabbed him, hardly fazed by the attack, and flapped its wings hard as it flew upward. Tea and Serenity released their arrows that shot out and pierced its wings. Loud gunshots could be heard.
"Hah! Teaches you to try to mess with mah friend!" Tristan hollered. The Komori Dragon faltered when he was hit, but kept flying higher, trying to escape, with Joey attempting to hack his claw off. A huge boomerang flew out and cleanly severed one wing, while two daggers, belonging to Seth and Valon, ripped off the other. The monster bellowed with pain as it released its grip on Joey and crashed into the ground.
"Shadow Shield!" A black aura seemed to grab Joey and slowly steady him on the ground.
"Thanks, Yug!" Joey called as he felt his feet touched the ground. But Joey's relief was short-lived as the Komori Dragon slowly dragged itself up. It opened its fanged jaws and let off a huge blast, heading right towards Yami.
"Man-eater Bug!" A Man-eater Bug appeared in front of Yami, and was instantly destroyed by the Komori Dragon's blast. At the same time, Bakura's card was blown into pieces that was absorbed by the dragon.
"Thanks, Bakura." Yami exclaimed. Bakura snorted in response. Stupid people. Can't they protect themselves?
"Alright! My turn!" Yashizo ran forward and swung her sword at the dragon. Wingless, but still nimble on its feet, the beast dodged her attack. Five blades flew out and struck its tail and four legs, pinning it to the ground. Mai grinned as all of her blades hit its target. Yashizo narrowed her eyes.
Where the two winds collide…
"Wind scar!" Tesusaiga sliced through the air and streaks of energy could be seen for only a moment cutting through the ground in its power as it headed for its single target. The Komori Dragon emitted a loud wail of despair as it disappeared into data, data that all collected at the tip of the Dark Sword. There was a flash, and a card appeared, with the picture of Komori Dragon on it.
"All sealed up," Yugi said happily, grabbing the floating card and shoving it into his pocket.
…………………...
Okay, I have already realized that my story goes way to fast through the facts, but I'm having trouble trying to change that. My writing is still improving. I'm making the duel monsters similar to Digimon season 3, where the monster's can be absorbed once destroyed, and I added a thing where you can seal them too.
And a few things too for my other stories if you haven't read my profile. I've put a hold on Inuyasha: Sango's Pain and the Mirror of Desire. Sorry people. And I might put a block on this story sometime later as I thought up of a new story that is a presequel to someone else's. But don't worry; I'll restart them up later then. That's all I have to say.
