Chapter six! Aw yeah, back on track! Thanks for the support everyone, it means a lot to me.

Anywho, I own not that which is Yu-Gi-Oh, though Hannah and her friends are mine. :P


After a few moments of wandering aimlessly on the deck, Hannah spotted Yugi, who was with Joey and... Some blue haired nerd... As Hannah took in a short breath to yell to Yugi, the nerdy kid threw some cards off the boat, causing a look of pure panic and displeasure to spread on Yugi's face. The nerd walked away, and Joey, after saying something Hannah couldn't make out, jumped overboard, after the cards.

Hannah ran to Yugi, nearly knocking into him. "What the hell is going on Yugi," she exclaimed, Gianna and Kyle approaching a moment after her.

With a distraught look, the young duelist replied, "Weevile threw my Exodia cards off the boat, and Joey went in after them!" He looked around quickly, then to where Joey was. "He's going to drown if he stays down there too long! I gotta save him!"

Almost in a possessed way, Yugi leaped over the rail, diving into the water under them towards Joey. Hannah turned to her friends, her eyes lively. "We need to help him! I think I saw a rope ladder when we were hiding. Let's move!"

The trio ran quickly back to their original hiding spot. Before she could stop, Hannah tripped over the body of Tea, falling on her face.

"Ow! Hey, watch it," Tea snapped, looking to see who the idiot was. When she saw Hannah, she cooled down a bit. "Oh, it's you Hannah? can you watch where you're running next time?"

Tristen stood up a bit, Gianna smacking into him and falling to the floor. Kyle, the only who didn't run into someone, told the others swiftly, "No time. We need a ladder. Anything that can reach the water! Yugi and Joey are down there!"

With fearful expressions, the group shoved boxes around desparately, until a rope ladder came into Tristen's sight. They hurried to where the could see Joey and Yugi straight down, and, securing the ladder to the rail threw it down, yelling to them, "Climb up!"

Hannah was hopping up and down nervously, staring as the two boys climbed that ladder. It was only when they reached the top did she stop, relaxing on her feet once more at the sight of the two soaked, safe duelists.

Joey apologized to Yugi for only being able to save two of the five pieces of Exodia. Yugi didn't seem to care about the cards anymore, just about his friend's safety. Hannah, curiously, watched, then smiled, returning to where her and her friends had hidden, a bag lying undisturbed. She lightly opened the bag, and stared in at her Millenium Scales, wondering just why she decided to bring them. She closed the bag, forgetting her question for the moment.

"Kyle, Gianna, come here," Hannah called to her friends, who hurried to Hannah's side. "What's up Hannah," Kyle asked.

With a sigh, Hannah told them, "We're probably almost there... I kinda have a bad feeling about this... Ya know?"

They only stared blankly at her, almost contemplating without any thought. She shook her head, muttering, "Never mind." then rested her head on a box, waiting for them to finally arrive to the island.


When they finally arrived, everyone filed off the ship, Tristen and Tea leaving with the crowd, since it seemed no one was checking for duelists and stowaways. Hannah and her friends followed them, Hannah's bag thumping softly against her legs. They all made their way to a giant, castle-like establishment, where a man in a red suit stood at the top of very high stone steps. He greeted them all and began with the opening speech.

Hannah, losing focus, began staring into the woods nearby. It was just a normal, spaced out stare, until her eyes passed onto a familiar figure. Blinking confusedly, she tugged at Kyle's arm. "Hey, look over there," she muttered, turning to make sure she'd gotten his attention.

When the both of them looked, however, no one was there. Hannah froze, and Kyle smiled easily. "Hey, it's no problem. Whatever you saw might've just moved. I doubt you're seeing things."

That was a fifty-fifty thing, but when she overheard Tea say she thought she saw Bakura, Hannah knew she hadn't lost her mind yet.

And then, just like that, everyone was told to begin. Yugi darted after the blue-haired nerd, who vanished amongst some trees, his friends following behind him quickly.

"Hey, feel like following Yugi? I wanna see him squash that little freak," Hannah suggested, smiling at her two friends happily.

"Sounds like a good time in the making. New friends, new place, makes sense," Gianna giggled, looking at Kyle. "You got any objections?"

To both their surprises, Kyle just said, "Nope. C'mon, we're going to lose them if we just stand here." Both girls expected some comment from the boy about Yugi getting to close to Hannah, or even Joey or Tristen. Yet, not even one little jealous glimmer sparked in his eyes.

Without another word, Hannah and her friends began chasing after the short duelist and his friends, disappearing amongst the trees from the kingdom's sight.

As they ran, they could hear far off talking. "That's them," Hannah called to her friends, speeding up her pace. "Let's hurry before we miss anything!" Gianna and Kyle struggled to keep up with Hannah, but managed to do so. Her bag was bouncing fiercely against her legs, almost throwing her off balance, but she kept herself mostly steady, her want to see the duel more important than her balance.

Unbeknownst to them, however, the figure that Hannah had previously seen was following them closely, a smirk on its face. Hannah had brought her Millenium item, and Yugi obviously had his. That made three in total that the figure could count. It was all too easy. And that Hannah was there... The figure just followed silently, plots going through their mind of what to do.


Back at the kingdom, Maximillion Pegasus was smirking vivaciously at one of his henchmen.

"Mr. Pegasus, that girl with the black and purple hair is the holder of the Millenium Scales, is she not," his henchmen asked, his own expression hidden behind his sunglasses.

"It would appear so," was his reply as he stared to where the girl had disappeared. "You know what to do."

"Her friends, right?"

"Yes. She'll be easy to listen once they're in our possession."

And the wind rustled gently throughout Duelist Kingdom, sweeping away with it the idea of any evil-doings that could take place on the island.


Blah... I don't know. Chapter six... Meh. Anyway, I'll see ya next chapter!
