Chapter Four

"We both can use our swords in the duel however we'll like it. It'll be just like old times Katsuya. Do you accept?"

Joey took one glances towards Yugi and didn't even hesitate, "I accept your challenge."

The man smiled, "Good…"

Black misty fog surrounded them as the man continued to smirk at Joey, "Duel start, Katsuya. I'll go first if you don't mind."

Joey growled, "Fine, but first give me your name!"

"My name," the man started, "Is Sinku."

Joey raised a brow. 'Sinku? It's a really bad name, but its sounds oddly familiar.'

Sinku raised his arms, the longblack sleevesdangling from it in the air. "I summon Reaper on the Nightmare!" Lighting struck the field between them where apurple-robed ghoul appeared, holding a spear. Sinku smirked, awaiting the next move.

'I'll wipe that smile off his stupid ugly face.' Joey thought, 'Okay, think.'

He stared at the Reaper, trying to see what he remembered about the monster. His practice duels with Yugi ran through his head.

'Okay, that guy has 800 attacks points, so I need to draw a monster that has more.' Joey reach for his deck to draw his first card. 'Come on…' Joey closed his eyes as he pulled the brown card out of the slot. He peeked at it.

"Alright!" Joey cheered. It was the Flames Swordsman! It has 1800 attack points!

Joey looked back at Sinku who patiently waited. 'I don't like this, the guys seems like he has something else up his sleeves.'

"I summon Flames Swordsman!" He declared as he placed the card onto his duel disk. Flames roared in a circleon the field as the orange-garment swordsman appeared. Fire hiss out of the orange sword.

"Attack that reaper!" Joey ordered. The swordsman obeyed as it stormed towards the foe. Instead of frowning, Joey saw that Sinku was smirking. 'What did I do?'

"Yes, the same thick-head as Katsuya!" Sinku muttered, then he yelled to his monster, "Counterattack!" The two monsters charged at each other. The reaper raised it spear and slice the swordsman in the shoulder as the swordsman's flaming sword hit the ghoul's chest.

"Yah!" Joey cheered.

The swordsman grabbed its wound and disappeared.

"What? But my swordsman was stronger than yours!" Joey exclaimed.

The long hair man laughed, "You FOOL! This is my Realm! Attack points don't mean anything!"

"What? Attack points mean everything in Duel Monsters!" Joey opposed.

"Not in my Realm. Shadow beats Fire!"

"So its determined by Type, not attack points. Well, you failed to mention that! You cheat!" Joey yelled.

Sinku opened in arms in an innocent gesture, "My, you should have asked before you and your temper got away."

Joey clench his fist, "You bastard!"

Sinku smiled, "See what I mean." He laughed, "Oh by the way, I almost forgot that other matter."

He raised his sword-rod and motioned to something. Suddenly pain shot through Joey's left shoulder and he grasped it with his right hand. 'Hot? Why is my shoulder wet?'

Joey brought his hand in front of his face. He almost gasped, "Bl..Blood…"Joey stammered as he watch the hot liquid drip down from his fingers. He looked at his shoulder to see blood oozing out of the wound. Joey realized it, it the same wound the Swordsman received from the Reaper.

Sinku laughed, "Every time one of your monsters died, you receive the pain!"

Joey grabbed his shoulder once more as the pain shot through his arm.

"You twisted son of a bitch…" Joey cursed.

That comment only caused Sinku to chuckle. He folded his arm as his eyes glowed red. He savored the moment to see his archrival in pain. Joey groaned but he stood up straight trying hard to ignore his bleeding shoulder. He glared at the madman, not willing to satisfied him any longer. "Just go…" he spat.

"With much pleasure," Sinku sneered. He paused momentarily than smirked. He raised his sword and motioned towards the sky. A gray stone rumbled up from the floor. On it was a picture of a small eel with fangs hanging out of its mouth. The tablet disappeared and the eel came to life in its place. The sliver monster snarled at Joey, which caused him to gulp. Two monsters and nothing to defend himself, expect….

Sinku pointed towards Joey, "You're gonna regret defying me! Reaper, Attack that half-wit!" The Reaper charged towards Joey. Almost with instinct, Joey whipped out his sword from his waist and blocked the reaper's spear before its slash his chest. Joey groaned against the weight and at the pain in his shoulder. He stepped back to relieve the pressure of the sword. The reaper went to attack him once more but Joey step-sided and whipped the sword across the reaper's stomach. The Reaper disappeared. Joey let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know how that happened, it was almost as if he knew how to fight with the sword.

He glanced up to see Sinku grabbed his stomach. Even though the man was wearing black, Joey knew that he was bleeding. Sinku looked up at him and growled. "So, perhaps you aren't the fool I took you for. But…" The man straightened up and closed his eyes. He said a small chant before he looked back at the confuse Joey.

"But, I can heal myself."

Joey widened his eyes, "What! You bastard! You can't do that."

"I can and I will. Not my fault you have no power to heal you." Sinku motioned towards his silver eel. "I have yet another monster, Katsuya!"

"Come and attack me!" Joey growled, holding his sword up, "I'm ready for you, even though you can heal yourself, I can give you a taste of pain!"

Sinku's red eyes and smile scared Joey. "Not you…" the man purred.

"Attack that wimp Yugi!"

Joey gasped. Yugi was defenseless!

"NO!" Joey screamed, running towards Yugi, hoping to beat the eel there. The eel got there before him and went to bite Yugi. SNAP!

"Aaaaahhhh!"

Sinku gasped. "What?"

The eel's fangs were in Joey's left abdomen. It release Joey after he finished screaming. As he released its fangs, Joey grabbed his second wound.

Sinku widened his eyes. This boy took a wound for his friend. Sinku growled, "You are reckless! Soon you're gonna wish you let Yugi receive that wound!"

"No way…I'll…let you hurt…my friend…" Joey managed to get out. He wince at the pain but went back towards his standing spot.

"Its…my turn now." Joey growled. With his bloody hand, he reached for the next card.

"Please, heart of the cards…help me…"
