Disclaimer: I don't own Yu gi oh or any concepts or names that you recognize. Although I do own some of my own ideas and OCs.
Anyways R/R and also I will have more information for my story, like character bios and stuff on my other website. It won't be anything you have to know to understand the story but it gives some spoilers and detailed info that you might want to know. Also Kaiba and some of the others are very OOC, but it all fits in somehow.
Last Time: After Yugi had just set out on his journey he already ran into problems!
Chapter 2: A new friend and a great mission….maybe
Yugi looked at the tall angry blonde that was heading towards him. Uh oh he looks pretty mad. He must think I'm the one who stole this. Yugi cried out, "WAIT! I didn't do anything. I mean it! Some kid gave me this! I'm innocent!" He closed his eyes waiting for the impact as the tall blonde got ready to punch him.
As Yugi waited for the impact that never came he suddenly heard laughing? "Huh?" he slowly opened his eyes and saw the blonde laughing at him.
He stopped laughing and looked at Yugi, "I was jus kiddin'. I know you didn't do it. I saw who did it. 'Sides I'd never hurt anyone, anyways, unless there was a real good reason and they deserved it. Sorry 'bout that little guy. Didn't mean to scare ya."
Yugi tried to smile and gave him the bag, "Um, here, I guess this is yours." The blonde grinned, "Hey, thanks for givin' it back. Names Joey by the way."
Yugi nodded, "My name is Yugi." Joey sat back and looked at him, "Nice to meet ya. So, Yugi, what brings ya out here by yourself?" Yugi rubbed the back of his head, "Well, uh, actually, it's kind of a long story." Joey handed him a can of soda and drank out of another one, "I got time."
Hours later, Yugi had told him all about his weird dreams and Ishizu giving him the puzzle, "So, I'm trying to find out everything that I can." Joey took a drink and sat back in thought, "Marik, eh? He's definitely bad news. Lots of people have tried to stop him and failed. He's got a really strong army. Hope your abilities are strong enough."
Yugi sweatdropped, "Actually, I don't have any gifts." Joey fell over and then jumped up, "Wha? You mean to tell me you don't have any special abilities and you're planning to go off and face Marik on your own!" Yugi giggled nervously, "Uh, yeah I guess."
Joey calmed down, "No, you're not. I'll go with ya. I got some pretty good abilities myself and I'm goin' nowhere fast. 'Sides I hate Marik just as much as everyone else. He's never done nothing personal to me or my family, but it's still wrong what he's doing. And you need all the help you can get." Yugi thought about for a moment, "Yeah, I guess you're right. It will get kind of boring traveling alone after a while anyways." He smiled and shook his hand, "Alright, Joey, glad to have your help."
Hours later, they were walking out of the woods in silence. Yugi finally turned to Joey and asked, "So, uh, Joey, why aren't you with your family or friends. I mean I'm glad to hae to have you and all, but won't someone miss you?" Joey sighed, "Nah, no one will. I haven't seen my family in years and I don't have any friends." Yugi's eyes widened, "Why, Joey, that's terrible!"
The blonde shook his head, "Not really. I actually kinda deserve it. See I wasn't always like this. Years ago you wouldn't have been so lucky. When I was younger I was always startin fights and getting in trouble. I was kicked out of my school and everyone hated me. My parents couldn't deal with me and I was so worried something would happen to them cuz of me. I finally left home to go out and find a way to stop myself. I didn't have anywhere to go or anyone that cared, cept my little sister. But I couldn't go back to her like that. So I wandered alone for weeks. Then one night this old man found me. Most people woulda tried to chase me away or something, but he was different. He took me in and helped me. He taught me how to control my anger and channel it into my abilities. It's because ofhim I can even use my gift. Without him, I wouldn't be here today."
Yugi smiled, "That's great Joey." Joey smiled back, "Yeah, but, uh, there's this one problem." Yugi's smiled dropped, "What is it?" he wondered what was wrong with his new companion.
Joey laughed nervously, "I, uh, kinda forgot his name." Yugi smiled again, "Well I'm glad that everything turned out alright for you." He sighed, "I just hope it turns out the same way against Marik."
Joey flashed a big grin, "Course it will! We'll go hunt Marik down, and fight him, and beat him, and save the world, and everyone will know and love us! Then I can go back home to my family as a hero and someone who matters. And maybe we can save all them too."
"All "who" Joey?" Yugi asked curiously. The blonde scratched his head, "Okay this is going to sound a lil strange, but I, uh, feel like there's these other people out there that I know. Like they're all my friends or something. Which is really weird cuz I don't got no friends, well cept you now. But still, I don't know it's just really strange."
Yugi smiled, "No it isn't. Sometimes I get feelings like that too. Maybe someday we'll figure it all out." Joey smiled, "You're right. It will all work out. Right now let's go find Marik and save the day!" he ran off. Yugi laughed and ran after him.
Unknown to them, a cloaked figure was watching. It can't be them. These guys are harmless and pretty stupid actually. Still…..I better keep an eye on them. This could turn out to be kind of interesting.
A/N: Well whaddya think? Hate it? Like it? Need to know more? Like I said before if you check out my site for it you may find more info, but you don't have to know any of it.
Next Time: Well now Yugi isn't alone. But is this going to turn out to be good or bad? Can he be trusted or is he/she also under Marik? More importantly whose mysterious person watching them? And is he/she an enemy or an ally? What's going to happen? And "You are all crazy! I thought I needed help!" More characters will be introduced, although you probably already expected that.
