Hi! Sorry I haven't done anything in so long. I went to Bever Cross camp for a week, and haven't had insomnia for severial nights since. ( My personal joke.When I can't sleep late at night, or early in the morning as it may be, I write. Thus, moresleep, less writing, and vice versa.) So I decided to type this up. Me and my friend did several combos kinda like this. I, personally, did this one, but if you people like it, then I can try to talk my friend into re-comboing these with me, and making some more. So, it's your choice. This can be a one-shot stand alone, or one of many. And one more note, the spellcheck on my new laptop is a bit buggy (What danged spellchecker cant retcognise the word dinner! And trys to get rid of every one of my quotation marks?) SoI had to make do with proofreading it about ten times. There might still be some errors, but I think it is readable.

Read and Enjoy!

As Yami attempts to figure out how to use the powers of the millennium puzzle, he indulges in another duel with Kaiba. He decides to try to take the duel to the shadow realm.

"Well? Are we going somewhere? Let's get where we're going now. I want to crush you before dinner." Kaiba said, fidgeting impatiently.

"Ok, Ok. I'm trying. Get some patience." Yami complained.

"I'll get some patience when you get a normal hairstyle." Kaiba said, now fidgeting with a passion.

"Grumble. All push and no give. Here we go. Happy?" Yami replied, as silvery purple walls slid around them, like going down a tunnel. The walls slowly shifted to a greenish color, and started to make lots of turns. They both landed with an undignified thump on the ground.

"Hi." A stranger who had yellow hair with a purple spot in the middle said.

"This um this wouldn't, by any chance, the shadow realm, would it?" Yami asked, still clinging to some shred of hope.

"Uhh... nope. I don't think so." The stranger said.

"I told you that you should have let me drive." Kaiba grumbled.

"You couldn't have done any better." Yami said, warming to the prospect of having a argument with Kaiba. At least some things are still normal, he thought. The stranger decided to head off the argument with introductions, before things got out of hand.

"This place is Lyoko. I am Odd." Odd said.

"Yeah, we kind of figured you were." Kaiba stated bluntly, staring at Odd's hair and outfit.

"No, my name is Odd" insisted Odd.

"Really? If your name's so strange, why don't you tell us it." Yami asked politely.

"No, no, no. Me. My name is Odd. I am Odd." Odd practically pleaded. They both gave him polite 'you're crazy' looks. "I give up. Who are you two?" Odd conceded.

"I am Kaiba, duelist extrodanare, CEO of Kaiba corp., creator of the duel disk." Kaiba gloated, with a fancy twirl of his Anti-Gravity Coat ™.

"My name is Yami. I'm good at deuling and saving the world." Yami humbly stated.

"And making awful friendship speeches." Kaiba mumbled.

"I leave that job to Tea most of the time." Yami mumbled right back.

Aleata steped out of a nearby tower and looked at the newcomers.

"Hi. You must be new here. I'm Aileta, and I see that you've already met Odd." Aleata said in a friendly tone. Yugi was stareing at her and falling head over heels in love.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll back off. She's Jeremy's." Odd warned. Aileta flushed a brilliant shade of red at that. Back home, so did Jeremy, who was listening to the whole exchange.

"Man, how come all the good girls are taken?" Yugi whined. Suddenly Anzu appeared.

"Hey, am I not good enough for you?" Anzu yelled.

"No... he he... um... ah... it's just-" Yugi attemted to stammer.

"You get over here and take that back, right now!" Anzu demanded. She grabbed Yugi by the ear and started dragging him off.

"Ow! Owowowowowowowowowowowowow! Ow!" Yugi screeched, attempting to break free.

"I'm glad I don't have her for a girlfriend." Kaiba said with a snicker.

"Do you want me to come over there?" Anzu demanded.

"No! Nothing." Kaiba asured quickly, making Yugi snicker. But they didn't deny being boyfriend-girlfriend, Kaiba thought, so there is something going on there. He mentally laughed at them.

"Let's go home. I want to go home." Anzu insisted.

"Um... well, that's the thing. I don't know how to." Yugi mumbled.

"What? You mean we're stuck here?" Anzu started flipping out.

"Why don't you just do whatever demented thing you did to get us here, backwards." Kaiba sugested cooly, mentally berating the 'great strategest' for not thinking of that simple solution himself.

"Oh, yeah. That makes sense. Goodbye strange person. Goodbye Aileta." Yugi said, before him, Kaiba, and Anzu dissapeared in a puff of purple smoke. He had toyed with the idea of leaving Kaiba behind, but that wouldn't be being a good sport. Anyways, Mokuba would get mad, and him mad was not fun.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They all landed in an undignified heap, back at Kaiba Corp. deuling arenas.

"Get off me!" Kaiba bellowed indignantly, from the bottom of the pile. Up to that point, Yugi and Anzu had been too buisy noticing each other, to notice that they had landed on Kaiba.

"Sooory, Mr. Grumpykins." Anzu replied mockingly, after her and Yugi had stood up. Yugi offered Kaiba a hand to help him get up, but Kaiba batted the hand away without so much as a thanks-but-no-thanks. Kaiba stormed off to his private office, severly annoyed that his deul had been interrupted. And I would have won that time, too, Kaiba thought. Danged magic. Danged Shadow Realm. Danged Yugi. Danged friendship-loving, speech-giving friend of his. Ghaaagh! He whipped around to face Yugi and Anzu.

"Oh, and one more thing," Kaiba started politely.

"Yes" Yugi and Anzu answered in unison, causing them to blush and giggle.

"Get out of my building!" Kaiba bellowed at the top of his lungs, before stalking off again. All the high-tech lights, made to look like chadelliers, shook and rattled from the noise.

"Remind me not to visit Kaiba again, for um... a year or so, please." Yugi told Anzu, who nodded vehemently as they ran full speed out of the building.
