DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH.

Chapter 2: Opening Ceremonies

(A lot of people talking.)

"Yugi, over here." Bakura called out over the heads of the fifty or so people between them.

Yugi looked around and jumped a few times until he saw Bakura

'You know Yugi I could have helped you find Bakura.' Said the spirit of the puzzle.

'Oh yeah, I guess I forgot.' Yugi replied. "Hey Bakura, have you seen any one else?" Yugi asked after pushing his way through the crowd.

"No I haven't, well not yet at least." Bakura said looking around.

"I wonder if Joey entered the tournament, It'll give me another chance to beat him." Said a familiar feminine voice.

Yugi turned around to see Mai with her back turned to them. "Hey Mai its been a while, hasn't it?" Yugi said walking up to her.

"Huh, oh if it isn't little Yugi. Yes, it has been a while since I've seen you or Joey. Say you haven't seen him have you?" Mai said looking around,

"Not yet, but it's big crowd, I think there might be more people this year." Yugi said also looking around.

"You guys looking for someone?" Joey said jumping out of the crowd right behind Mai.
Mai, a little shaken, started yelling at Joey, while Yugi and Bakura laughed.

"I thought I heard you say something about beating me." Joey said after Mai stopped yelling, she just glared at him.

"I-" Mai began when she was interrupted.

"Welcome all duelists, to the second annual Battle City Tournament." Kaiba's voice boomed from the side of a blimp flying overhead.

"The rules are the same as the previous Battle City Tournament. But I will announce the rules for all the new comers. Rule 1: Any monster of level 5 and 6 requires one sacrifices and any monster level 7 or 8 requires two sacrifices. Rule 2: You cannot activate two Magic or Trap cards with the same name on the same turn. Rule 3: If you lose a duel you must hand over your rarest card and a Locator card to your opponent. The Final Rule: If you have no Locator cards left you are disqualified. After you collect 6 Locator cards they will form a map leading to the location of the finals. A note to the finalists from last year the finals are not being held in the same location as they were last year. With all the formalities out of the way let the tournament begin!"

'Yugi better not lose, because I want the pleasure of crushing him myself.' Kaiba thought after the opening ceremonies we through.

A/N: Don't worry not all the chapters will be this short. Oh well, please review, flames are welcome along with deck, story; and character ideas.

Avatar: Well it looks like the tournament is about to begin.

Kaiba (irritated): Please tell me I'll have a larger part later on.

Avatar (looking away): Of course, look at the time I got to go!

Kaiba: Why do I feel like he's going to make a fool out of me.
