Chapter 12: Patrolling the City
Next Day, during school at the lunchroom
"What do you mean you guys are busy this afternoon?" Tea asked. "What part don't you understand, woman!" Joey shouted. "You don't have to be rude, you know" Tea said with her eyes closed and her nose stick up in the air. "Joey and I just have plans already, guys" Yugi said. "But with who?" Tea asked. "Tea isn't obvious" Tristan said. "What do you mean, Tristan?" Tea asked him. "Wow, Tristan finally grew a brain" Duke remarked. "Watch it Duke!" Tristan shouted. "What I mean, before dice boy here interrupted" He added. Duke sticks his tongue out at Tristan. "Yugi and Joey have dates" Tristan finally said. "Hey! It's not like that!" Yugi and Joey shouted at the same time. "Yugi, Joey? With dates" Tea said. She then started to laugh. Tea was then joined by Duke and Tristan. Joey got up and knocked some sense into Duke and Tristan. (AN: You how Joey is!). "OWWW!" Duke and Tristan cried. "It severs ya right" Joey said. "C'mon you two, you got to say it's a date" Tea said. "Tea, for the last time, it's not a date" Yugi said for was like almost the billionth time. "All right, I'm just kidding, you know" Tea said. Yugi and Joey sighed. At least Tea, Duke, and Tristan do not know Joey and I are phoenix holders, and the world is in danger by Dark Wizards. Yugi thought. The lunch bell rang, telling that lunch was now over and it was time to go back to class. (AN: Noooooo!)
After School
After school, Tea, Duke, and Tristan bid good-bye to Yugi and Joey and left. Yugi and Joey took a sigh of relief. "That was a close one" Joey said. "If the guys found out, they'll be all over us" Yugi said. "Especially Tea, she'll nag us!" Joey exclaimed. Joey then did a Tea nag imitation. Yugi couldn't help but laugh. After Joey finished the imitation, he moved on to a Duke and Tristan nag imitation. Yugi laughed again. "What's so funny?" a voice said. Joey and Yugi looked up and notice Earthzina coming down, in phoenix form, with Tarra behind her. Both of them landed. "I don't see anything funny" Tarra said. "You guys need to go in your human form before someone sees you" Yugi said in a concern voice. "Don't worry, regular humans can't see us" Earthzina replied. Joey sighed in relief, "Thank god, if someone saw you with us…. I don't know what will happen". The two element phoenix giggled. "Well, were here to reminded you that you have a job to do at night" Tarra said. "We know, we have to patrol the night for any sign of any Dark Wizard activity" Yugi said to his phoenix. "That's a good phoenix holder" Tarra teased. Yugi pouted at the comment (AN: Awww! He pouted! ……… Uh don't mind me keep on reading). Tarra giggled and flew off with Earthzina behind her. Joey shakes his head. "They act like regular girls even though there phoenixes" Joey said. "C'mon Joey, lets get home, do our homework, and meet the others at Domino Square, where we split up" Yugi said. Joey nodded, waved his hand good-bye and left to his home. Yugi went the other way to his home.
Meanwhile, at Kaiba Crop
Seto was working on some paper work. "The sooner I'm finish with this work, the better" Seto said to himself. "And the sooner you're done, you'll go with the other phoenix holders to patrol the city" said a voice behind Seto. Seto turned around saw Itami right behind him. "What do you what?" Seto asked in an ice cold voice. Itami rolled her eyes; Seto glared at Itami. "Well, right after your finish with your work, you have to come to Domino Square for the patrolling" Itami said. "What do you consider me, an idiot?" Seto said in another ice cold voice. Itami went to the window ready to leave. She turned to face Seto and said "Yes". Itami changed into her phoenix form and flew away before could hurt her. Seto was about to catch her if she hadn't flew away. "No one calls me an idiot!" Seto shouted at her. "Whatever" called Itami, who was half-way gone. Seto sat back down at his desk and counties to work on the paper work.
That Night
Yugi was about to leave his home, when all of a sudden, "Yugi, where are you going?" called Mr. Mouto. "I'm… going out, grandpa" Yugi called out, lying. Mr. Mouto came downstairs to see his grandson. "Yugi, are you sure you're not." Before Mr. Mouto could finish his sentence there was a knock on the store door. Yugi went to answer the door. To his relief, Merina was at the door; Yugi opened the door. "Hi Yugi" Merina said in a greeting voice. "Ready to go out?" she added winking at him. Mr. Mouto saw Merina. "Why, hello Merina" he greeted. "Hi Mr. Mouto" Merina greeted the old man. "Yugi here was going to show around the city." She added. "Why Yugi, why didn't you tell me?" Mr. Mouto asked his grandson. "Um…It slipped my mind" Yugi replied, lying again. "Okay, you kids have now, and don't stay up too late" Mr. Mouto said to the two teens. "Don't worry, Mr. Mouto, we won't" Merina said. She took Yugi's wrist and went out the door with Yugi behind her.
Once they were outside, Yugi quickly had a blush on his face. Her skin is so soft. Yugi thought. Merina turned to face Yugi, "That was a close one, don't you think?" Merina asked. "Yea, a very close one" Yugi answered. "C'mon, the others are waiting for us at Domino Square, and yes even Kaiba is there" Merina said. "For a moment, I thought Kaiba won't come" Yugi said. "That's why Itami is his phoenix, she'll 'always' remind her holder about things like this" Merina said with a smart-ass tone. Yugi couldn't help but to chuckle. Merina smiled at Yugi; Yugi smiled back. The two teens continue on their way to Domino Square.
At Domino Square
Yugi and Merina had reached Domino Square. Both of them looked around and saw the others in the middle of the square. Merina and Yugi went up to them. "You're late" Seto said in his famous stubborn tone. "Sorry about that, needed to save a holder from his guardian." Merina said. "Your grandps was getting suspicious, Yuge?" Joey asked. "Wow, I never knew you knew that word" Seto said sarcastic. "Don't you ever shut up, Kaiba!" Joey shouted at Seto. "You know, you are a dog that never shut up" Seto said. "DON'T CALL ME A DOG!" Joey yelled. He was about to attack Seto if it wasn't for Kiko and Earthzina holding him back. "I would like to see the mutt try" Seto. Itami was right behind Seto, and the next you knew, Itami whacked him across the head. "Ow!" Seto said rubbing his head. "Be nice to your teammate" Itami said in a stern voice. Seto glared at Itami before turning to Merina. "Oh-Kay, before someone starts keeping count on how many times Kaiba gets whacked" Merina said. There was a sinker that came from Kiko and Joey. "Does everyone know what do?" Merina asked. "Me and Joey are going to patrol the west side of town of Domino City" Kiko said. "Correct" Merina said. "I'll patrol the south side of Domino City" Ukino said. "Right" Merina said. "Kaiba and I will be patrolling the east side of Domino City" Crystal said. "And Yugi and I will patrol the north side of the city" Merina said. She then went into her purse and took out four walkie talkie and headed to each group. "Turn each walkie talkie to channel three, if you see anything suspicious call us" Merina ordered. The groups nodded. "Now spilt up and go patrol your part of the city. Report back here at 11: 00 pm" Merina added. The groups nodded and left for there part of the city.
The patrolling begins.
An hour later
Yugi and Merina were on the roof on a building looking around for any sign of dark aura. Patrolling, patrolling, patrolling, patrolling. Kiko's voice came on the walkie talkie. Kiko! Shut up, God danmit! Ukino's voice yelled in the walkie talkie. I'm bored Ukino, you know I always sing that when were patrolling said Kiko's voice. It's frickn annoying! Ukino's voice yelled. Will you two just shut up! Seto's voice yelled in the walkie talkie. Hey Kaiba! Put a sock in ya mouth! Joey's voice shouted in the walkie talkie. Guys! Stop auguring Crystal's voice yelled into the walkie talkie. . Merina was getting annoyed by the argument that was going in the walkie talkie. "Yugi" Merina said. "Yes Merina" Yugi said. "Would you please give me the walkie talkie?" she asked. Yugi gave the walkie talkie and asked "What are you going to do?" "Watch me" Merina answered. She put the walkie talkie close to her mouth but not too closes. She then yells "Quit the auguring already! You guys should be patrolling not auguring!" There was no response from the walkie talkie. "Better, if I here another argument form one of you guys again, I'll come to you guys and deal with the problem" Merina said in the walkie talkie. "Oh, and Kiko" Merina added. Yes Kiko's voice answered. "Please don't sing that song, I'm getting a headache" Merina said. Okay, Merina said Kiko.
Merina gave the walkie talkie back to Yugi. "I never knew you were that tough, Merina" Yugi said in amazement. "Being a leader is hard, but it's worth it" Merina said still looking at the city. "Merina, can I asked you something?" Yugi asked. "Asked away, Yugi" Merina answer still looking at the city. "Why does the Dark Wizards want the Eye of Phoenix so badly? I mean, is there something more than taking over the world with it?" Yugi asked. Merina turned to Yugi and took a deep breathe before answering. "You see, Yugi. The Eye of the Phoenix is a very powerful magical stone, which can be either use for good or evil." She said. "In the right hands, it is used to protect the witches, wizards, and mortals from crossing over realms. It's also used to protect the mythical animals' from being hunted form mortals. Also, to protect the mortals from dangerous mythical animals" Merina explained. "What happens if it's in the wrong hands?" Yugi asked. Merina took another deep breathe again and answered. "If the stone is in the wrong hands, it's chaos" Merina said. "The Dark Wizards can enslave the wizards, witches and mortals. They'll be able to release the dangerous mythical animals into the mortal world. It'll be chaos and havoc for both realms" Merina explained. Yugi's eyes widen when he heard that.
'Did you catch that Yami?'
'Every single detail, Yugi'
'I never knew the Eye of the Phoenix can be either good or evil'
'It depends on the person who holds the stone, Yugi'
'No wonder Merina and her family protects the stone of the Dark Wizards'
'That's right, Yugi. A stone that powerful needs a full protection'
'Yup'
Yugi closed the mind link and goes up next to Merina. "This stone is really important to your people, right?" Yugi asked. "Yes Yugi" Merina answer. "Don't worry, I'll do anything to help you out" Yugi said. Merina looked at Yugi. She looked into those honest violent orbs. She smile and thanked him. Yugi smiled his famous smile. Yugi is so sweet. …. Did I just say that! Merina thought. She quickly turned around to hide the blush she had across her face. Yugi looked at his watch and said "Two hours to go". "Then lets continue to patrol our part of the city" Merina said. The two teens continue watching the north part of the city.
Two hours later
The groups met up at the middle of the square. "Anything you found?" Merina asked. "Nothing usual, unless you count being chase by a group of alley dogs" Joey said blushing in embarrassment. Seto slapped his forehead, "I'm surrounded by a baka". "Who da hells are you calling a baka!" Joey shouted. Kiko and Earthzina held Joey back before he tries to attack Seto. Merina slapped her forehead and shake her head. "Well, if we didn't found nothing, were coming back here the next night" Merina said. "How long are we doing this?" Seto asked. "I got a company to run" "You're now a phoenix holder, it's now you're job to help the other phoenix holders with the protection of the Eye of the Phoenix" Ukino said in an annoyed tone. Seto rolled his eyes. "You know, let's just go home and take a rest since you all were patrolling" Merina said. "You are speaking my language, Merina" Joey said.
The groups spilt up to go home.
At Yugi's home
"You haven't found anything?" Tarra asked. "Nope" Yugi answered. "At least Merina explained why the Eye of the Phoenix is important" Tarra said. Yugi nodded. He yawed, "Well, I'm going to bed" Yugi said. "Good night Yugi. And pleasant dreams" Tarra said. Yugi went to bed. He kept thinking of the stone. In the right hands, it's harmless. But in the wrong hands, it's a dangerous stone. Yugi thought. His eyes begin to drop and Yugi fell asleep.
DMoS: Okay! Chapter 12 is down!
Torru: Phew! That's long
Yugi: Looks like the stone is good and evil
Yami: Depending on the person who holds it
DMoS: Ah! Someone paid attention!
Yami: Don't make fun of me
DMoS: I won't. I hope you guys like the argument on the walkie talkie!
Yugi: You guys know the drill
Torru: Three reviews
