Chapter 13-Worried Dueling Part I

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Yugioh!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

The day had finally come for Jounouchi Katsuya to duel against his long time friend and eternal rival, Yugi Mouto. Everyone was at the arena, awaiting where Jou and Yugi's duel would be.

Smoke came out from the stage as Roland and Mokuba along with Mitsuki who was beside Mokuba were standing on stage as some of the people were confused to why Seto wasn't there.

"My brother isn't here right now because he is so busy with the tournament that he can not possibly be here right now," Mokuba began as the crowd's cheering became an disappointment.

"So why don't we figure out this last duel's location then? Roland, do you mind?" Mitsuki asked as Roland nodded, "the duel will take place here. After we get out off the way, the two will come up here and duel in front of you as we also put down a big screen for all of you to see it," Roland said as everyone cheered happily.

"Lastly, this duel we'll be broadcast around the world! Anybody who's watching television right now are watching us this very minute," Mokuba said as Jou stared at him surprised since he knew that he did this so Seto could watch the duel when he wakes up in the hospital room he was in right now.

"So duelists! Please come up on stage!" Mokuba called as Jou looked at Yugi who nodded as the two went up on stage and activated there duel disks as everyone cheered.

"Let's duel!" They both cried as Jou went first and he draw, "Freedom of Landstar in defense mode! Put this card face down to end my turn," Jou said as Yugi drew.

"I'll put Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode! I'll attack your defense monster directly!" Yugi said as Jou's life points were still safe, "next I'll put a card face down ending my turn," he said.

"My turn. I'll go and play Goblin Attack Force as I attack your Skilled Dark Magician!" Jou said as Yugi's life points went down to 3600, "also, I will end my turn," Jou said as Yugi blinked.

"What the heck is Jou doing?" Honda asked down at the audience as he was becoming paranoid since his friend wasn't dueling his best out there.

"That's not Jou's best dueling, isn't it?" Mai asked worriedly, "no. I've seen better duels with Jou and he isn't like this! Come on man! What are you trying to pull?" Honda called out to him as Jou didn't answer.

"Jou isn't dueling Mokuba," Roland said as Mokuba nodded slightly, "is something wrong with him?" Mitsuki asked quietly as Mokuba sighed and he looked at Jou.

"His worried about Seto. He wants to end this duel right away so he could attend to him," Mokuba said slowly, "but Jou wouldn't do that! He wouldn't throw the duel away just for that!" Mitsuki complained.

"Jou! I'll be with my brother so you don't have to worry at all, all right?" Mokuba called out to him as Yugi and Jou turned to look at him, "no! Don't do that. I'll finish this duel right away so I'll be the one there for him," Jou said as Mokuba sighed.

"What do you think your doing Jou? Kaiba wouldn't like that one bit if you loose the duel on purpose!" Yugi argued, "I can't think all right! His not here and I want to be there when he wakes up!" Jou said angrily.

Yugi growled as he draw, "I'll play Graceful Charity and I put two cards in the graveyard. Next, I'll summon Queen's Knight on the field and I'll play Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician Girl! Queen's Knight, attack his defense monster now!" He said as Jou looked up and saw what he was doing.

"Magic-arm Shield!" Jou said quickly as Yugi activated his trap, "Seven Tools of Bandit! I'll deactivate your trap and I'll loose 1000," he said as Yugi's life points went down to 2600.

"Dark Magician Girl! Attack Jou, directly!" Yugi said as Jou's life points went down to 2000. "Wake up Jou! Would you think that Seto will be happy if he finds out you lost on purpose? He doesn't want you to loose! Not like this! Not like the first time you dueled in Duelist Kingdom! Jou, please! You've got to see it now!" Yugi said to him.

Jou shook his head, "I just can't think of anything else besides that Seto needs me. It's hard for me Yugi since last night all I could think about is him, hurt!" He said.

Just then the audience began to whisper to one another in what was going on with Seto Kaiba. "He'll be fine Jou! I assure you. Just do your best and I'm sure he'll wake up for you in time," Mokuba said to him as Jou sighed.

Mokuba looked at him, "I'm going to be leaving Roland. It's up to you who wins the duel Roland if they don't continue," Mokuba said as Roland nodded and Mokuba left with Mitsuki.

Jou was shaking a bit as he was worried for his love, he stared at Yugi who was staring at him worriedly as the duel went on even though Jou wasn't dueling his best out there.
