Speak
OK so My comp froze and everything I had written yesterday was deleted ARGH!
Thats ok cuz the chapte was boring anyway!
Would ppl please Review! I review every story even if i hate it (pouts)
OH and I have taken a liking to some new movies lol has nothing to do with YGO or anime, but i have taken some lines out of that jennifer aniston movie i saw last nite 'Rumour has it' . They should appear in then next chapter/s
NOTE: I have just watched that episode where Raphael takes poor yugi's soul because pharoah decided to play the seal of orichoulcus...Nasty stuff! This is a little different to what actually happened, first off, mai is not in the biker gang, secondly yugi BEAT raphael, not eventually..rite now! hahaha
YUGI and TEA...
Yugi falls to his knees.
He may have bet Raphael, the big blonde oger-type member of the dreaded Seal of Oricholcus gang, but his dear friend Joey had lost his duel against Varon. His soul is now locked inside a card in Varons deck.
Varon thinks that he can win mai over, now that seto is not speaking to her. After all, their gang beleive that they are the true good doers and that yugi and seto are evil, the darkness of the world is all thanks to the pharaoh.
Darkness falls on the city. The sky is a mix of navy blue and deep purple outside Duelist kingdom. A decadant display of stars shine into the night. Artifical lights surround the kingdom, keeping it aglow.
Darkness remains however, inside the hearts of Yugi and his friends. The room around them is pitch black, like the carpets. The surroundings in the kingdom are that of an enchanted castle, yet noone feels lifted in spirit tonight.
Varon has gone in search of Mai, walking through the kingdom halls and opening various doors to find her. Amelda may have told him some of what happened, but offcourse not all.
Amelda and Rapheal cannot wait to find Mai and Seto, for a much bigger reason..much bigger.
Serenity is distraught an crying in Tristans arms. Rebecca holds onto dukes hand tightly. Even rex and weevil cannot beleive what they had just seen take place.
Tea moves away from comforting serenity and heads towards Yugi.
"We will get Joey back", Anzu assures, softly kneeling beside her friend.
Yugi places his hand on Tea's shoulder. He can barley speak. He feels he has failed his friend and that there is little hope left.
"Hey this is nothing" Tristan hides in a tear, speaking words that will try and uplift the young wheeler sister who is crying profusley.
"Yugi always saves the day" He continues.
"Remember Bakura and Mai in the shadows?" "Or when..."
Tristan's little speech is cut short by a wailing Serenity, who runs out of the building.
"Wait up" Duke calls out, running after the two. Rebecca quickly follows.
"Ah we're gonna leave now", Weevil squeaks.
"Good idea", Rex replies .
Tea ignores the two boys as they scurry off.
Yugi sighs heavily.
"I'..I just dont know if i can save him this time Tea" "look at the hold that seal had on me when i was tricked into using it by Rapheal", he explains.
Tea wraps her arms around Yugi gently.
"You can do it" She rests her head against his shoulder.
"I know you can".
Yugi turns his head to face Tea. The light of the moon beams in, causing her brown hair to shine and pale skin to glow.
Anzu's big blue eyes gaze intently into Yugi's purple pools of mystery.
Mist covers the base of his eyes as he stares deeper at tea, seeing a love inside of her flare, one thats been burning for so long.
Tea is unsure how to react. Does she smile and comfort as a friend? Or does she take the next step and embrace the egyptain duelist?
Anzu opens her mouth to speak "Yugi"
"Tea" He replies, fully focused on her blue, blue eyes.
They both start to feel a warmth surround them. A presence that cannot be described. Neither one of them looses focus off of eachother. They both Lean in at the same time together.
Tea feels yugi's soft lips up against hers. She closes her eyes and lets Yugi's passion flow.
How can you see into my eyes, like open doors?
Leading you down into my court, where Ive become so numb
You feel my soul, my spirits slipping slowly, come until you find it there in me, in my heart.
Bring me to life...Wake me up, wake me up inside, call my name and save me...
Meanwhile:(lets set the scene shall we?)
SCENE: One of Pegasus's rooms in the kingdom, filled with toon memorabilia. Tea called it "borderline creepy" as I recall...
"Say something seto", Mai says, observing the strange toons surrounding the room.
"Hmph" Is Kaiba's response.
Mai walks toward him, her purple boots clomping as she moves closer.
"So youre not going to talk, to me is that it?" She asks annoyed.
Seto glances at the blonde then turns his head away from her.
"Hey I didnt know about Amelda then" "It was over a year ago" She explains.
Mai cannot fully understand why Kaiba is so upset. Its not as though it was entirely her fault. Kajaku Mai was never to blame!
Mokuba, who had been searching through the grotto full of toon cards and life like figures, emerges and stands by seto.
"Hey bro" He pants.
"Youll never guess what.."
Seto grunts. "Not now Mokuba"
The little raven haired kaiba folds his arms.
"She said shes sorry Seto, lets go" Mokuba whines.
Mai smiles lightly. She was impressed that the likes of Mokuba kaiba was almost appearing to agree with her.
"Its more than that Mokuba", Seto mumbles coldly.
The CEO then lifts his head up and looks directly at Mai.
"Why did you even come here?", He questoins.
"If you knew about amelda all this time?" "Was it out of spite towards me?" "did that mutt have something to do with it?", Seto's voice is raised when he talks.
Mai is infuriated.
How dare he bring wheeler into it
"Why would Joey have anything to do with this?", Mai yells.
Seto snorts, not knowing what to reply with.
Mai was a little shocked that Seto knew anything about her and Joeys friendship.
"why would someone like you care about joey anyway?", She snarls.
Seto laughs loudly.
"I couldnt care less about that pathetic excuse for a duelist", he retorts.
Mokuba arches his lef eyebrow.
"Um then why did you say that?" He asks.
"Ahh" Seto growls.
Mokuba steps back.
Mai remains still with her arms crossed.
"You wanna know the real reason I came here?" She says cooley.
"Enlighten me", Kaiba replies.
"I..I..I came here to save you.." She blurts out.
Inside Mai wanders why she just said that.
Seto rolls his eyes, a little perplexed that the likes of Mai Valentine actually cared about someone, especially him!
"I dont need saving Mai", He lowers his voice.
"I think that you are the one who needs help", he adds.
Mai glares at him.
Why would she need saving?
Before mai can open her mouth with a debate on why she is perfectly fine, Seto speaks up again.
"I thought you were different Mai", Seto remarks.
Mai,s eyes widen. "What?" she quietly replies.
"Ha but it turns out you're just the same as they are" , Something niggled at Seto when he said that.
He couldnt comprehend why he felt bad for saying it..maybe because it wasnt true...maybe?
"The same as who?", Mai asks, narrowing her eyes.
"Them", Seto replies.
"Seto.." Mai starts to speak...but again is cut off.
"Just go" Seto orders, pointing to the door.
Mai fights back inner tears and a sour expression forms on her face.
"Fine", She spits.
Stomping out of the room, Mai turns around and looks at Kaiba one last time.
"You probably already think this" She hisses. Mai then looks to the floor."But I was a fool" After a deep breath she ends with: "For thinking That we had a chance".
Seto stays silent. Mokuba calls out "Mai".
"Bye Mokuba" She subtly waves her hand as she closes the door shut.
"Nice going", Mokuba says with sarcasim.
"Ack" Seto motions for Mokuba to be quiet.
Seto stares at the door, deep in thought.
"Was I too harsh?" "Did we really have a chance?"
Seto shakes his thoughts off. "Weakness" "Its nothing but weakness to think like that"
Mokuba can see that seto is not happy, so he changes the subject entirely.
"Uh Seto?" He pipes up.
Seto looks at Mokuba waiting for him to say something.
"I think I know where Pegasus is"
Seto's Navy blue eyes widen...
"OH?"
Mai wants nothing more than to leave the dreaded kingdom. She hopes thst she never Sees Seto Kaiba again. Hurridly she half runs down the stairs, still fighting back tears. Her blonde hair bobs up and down as she moves, with her arms pulsating back and forth.
When She reaches the last few bottom stairs, Mai is greeted by a familiar face.
"Ello Gorgeous", he smiles.
Mai rolls her eyes and tries to push past, but the cockney duelist grabs her by the waist.
"Im sorry to hear what appened love", He whispers, clenching onto Mai softly.
"What did you say?" She questions, pulling away.
"Amelda told me all about it" He replies smartly.
"That bastard" she hisses.
"Oh it aint his fault" "It that Seto Kaiba bloke thats the evil one".
Mai dosent quite follow the biker guy.
"Uh whatever Varon" She sighs.
Mai continues to walk down the stairs until she Varon calls out something, giving her cause to stop.
"Joey aint wif us anymore" "Him and me had a little bit of a..."Duel for You love" he explains.
He grins when Mai turns around and comes back up the stairs to ask questions.
Varon explains that Him and Joey duelled to see who could win Mai over. The loser was placed inside a card for eternity.
Mai felt an empathy for poor joey stuck inside a card.
She may not feel the way he did for her, but thats no reason to have him locked away forever.
Mai grabs one of his cards and demands that Varon bring him back.
"Why?" "Don't you want me?" He teases.
"No" She yells back.
Varon's eyes grow cold, "you cant reject me" he hisses, taking back his card.
Mai pushes herself away from Varon, but he holds her back.
"You dont want Joey, and Seto dosent care about you" He whispers into her ear.
Mai stands silently, listening to the deceptive words of Varon.
"However" He speaks up.
"If you duel against Seto with me and amelda" " We are bound to win..and in doing so I'll release Wheelers soul", "Hows that sound?"
Mai looks at him suspicously. "What about Seto?" she asks.
"Oh come on love" "He aint worth your time" He remarks, brushing her golden hair with his hands.
"Uh" Mai pauses.
She did want to get back at Seto, and Joey didnt deserve to be trapped inside a card for all time...on the other hand, These particular men were not to be trusted, and mai didnt trust anyone.
Before Mai can make up her mind. Mokuba comes running down the stairs.
"Amelda and Seto are fighting" He says panicking.
"Mai you gotta help him" He squeals. "He almost lost both of our souls because of this guy".
Mai loosens herself from Varon.
"Whos this guy?" Mokuba asks pointing to the brown haired englishmen.
"the names Varon", He grins, holding out his hand to shake mokuba's.
Mokuba looks at him evily.
"I know you" "youre with Amelda arent you?" he snarls.
"Well I aint in love with the bloke if thats what youre hinting" He winks.
Mokuba shudders and looks at Mai.
Just then..
Amelda and Seto come walking down the stairs.
"Well well well", The redhead says, rubbing his hands together.
"Mai?" Seto gasps.
Mai just foolishly ignores him.
"Looks like Kaiba boy here has agreed to our little challenge", Amelda informs.
Seto glares at both Varon and amelda. He then looks at Mai.
they both stare at each other for a moment.
"Come on Mai" Varon coaches.
"Nows your chance to get back at him".
"No" Mokuba cries.
Mai motions to seto as if to say "Do you really want me to do this?"
Seto, hides in his true inhibitions which are telling him to say "NO" we dont need to do this" instead he shrugs as if to say "I dont care".
Mokuba runs off sadly.
"Aw well isnt that brotherley love" Amelda shakes his head pretending to be disgusted in seto for going ahead with this.
Seto knows he will not lose this duel. which is why he does not fear for his little brother.
A few hours later...
the four duelists are all outside the kingdom.
the sky grows darker and the air cooler...Mai can feel her self shiver in her skirt and boots.
Varon touches her shoulder and assures her that she is doing the right thing.
Seto's hair brushes itself all over the place in the wind.
"Lets start now shall we folks?" Varon says, holding up his first card.
"Wait" A deep voice calls out from behind them.
Seto spins around to see Yami behind him. Tea is standing close by.
"do you have any idea what you are doing kaiba?" Yugi warns.
"Yugi leave me alone" He growls.
Tea grabs Yugi by the arm.
She knows that if Yugi duels it may be the only way to get joey and pegaus back. However if he loses both seto and yugi are doomed..
"So thats where you ran off to you little shit" Amelda sneers at mokuba.
"Dont you dare talk about my brother that way go it?" Seto scowls.
"ooh im shakin in me boots again arent you amelda?" Varon laughs.
"I know what i have to do" Little yugi inside of The pharoah says.
Yami nodds and heads over to the feild.
"We are in this together Kaiba"
Seto growls.
"I do not need you to help me" "Im not one of your pathetic friends" he hisses, looking over at Tea.
Tea glares at him.
"im not doing this for you Kaiba" yugi replies.
"This is for Joey" "When i win the duel i shall release him"
"Dont forget pegasus" Seto snarls.
Yugi widens his eyes.
"you know about pegasus?".
"Yes Yugi, Its me you are talking to remember?" Kaiba replies icely.
"Enough chit chat" Amelda yells.
"you wanna duel little pharoah thats fine by us".
Mai quivers.
"Great, what have I got myself into?"
Ah just ang on a minute" Varon pipes up.
He leans in and whispers to amelda.."you know this guy bet raphael dont ya?"
Amelda rolls his eyes. "Big freakin deal", he then pulls out his duel deck.
"He wont beat us", "Will he mai?" Amelda questions.
Mai dosent reply.
"Mai youre not like them" Yugi says.
"Stop now before you get hurt"
"I dont need you to protect me" Mai calls back.
"Very well" Yugi replies sadly.
The stage is set and the duel is about to begin.
Both seto and mai are going against their true feelings and duelling! While the others duel for selfish reasons Yugi is duelling for his friend and pegasus whom he must save!
"I will start by playing my magic card" Varon grins placing his seal of oricoulchus.
Mai gasps as do Tea and Mokuba.
"We will beat you seal or no seal" Yugi announces...
"We both have a card that is more powerful that anything you would have seen" Yugi adds.
Seto knows exactly what cards Yugi is talking about.
"The two dragons" , Tea and mokuba say at the same time.
"I told you i wasnt finished with you amleda" Seto snickers.
Amelda hides in a gulp of fear..he remembers that look Seto gave him.
"Bring it on" Amelda yells.
Once the seal is activated, only the five of them remain inside the arena...
Who will win? who will lose? and who will live?
