I'm Baaaaack.
Sarah: Oh yay.
Hey, some people asked me to update this story ASAP!
Sarah: Like who?
cyclonzgirl. And wolflovers6 said they love the story!
Sarah: Didn't the second person also question the insanity of this story?
...Yes.
Sarah: Anyway, YamiHeart doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, so please, no one sue her! (She couldn't pay you anyway...)
Hey! Anyway, please enjoy chapter 4.
I limped out of bed really tired. I guess I had good reason to be, after all, I had been slit at the throat with a piece of paper.
"Talk about one bad paper cut…" I mumbled. I threw the covers off of me and hopped out of bed, much to the dislike of Sphynx (remember her?) who woke up, a little ticked. She stretched, glared at me, and went over to the spare bed in my room. In it was… DJ!
"Oh SH*EEP! When did she get there?" I loudly whispered.
I clamped my mouth shut and creeped out of the room. I guess it was pointless to be quiet, seeing as I doubted she would wake up right now. You know the whole "soul trapped in a card" thing?
I left the room and went down the hall. There, two guards noticed me right away.
"HEY YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Yelled both of them in unison.
"Can't a girl watch a good duel after she's woken up from a nap? SHEESH!" I snapped back.
They both looked at my neck and got taken aback.
One of them said "Master Pegasus demanded you stay bedridden to get better."
"I'm better. NOW TELL ME WHERE THE DUEL IS!" I really didn't have time for this! The Pharaoh/Yugi needed my help!
"Fine," said the other. "It's just down this hall to the right."
"Thank you, and just in case you're worried, I DON'T need an escort!" I then ran down the hall to make it to the duel, hopefully in time to stop anyone from messing with the plot.
But when I made it to the arena, I knew I was already too late.
"Please…other me…use this card… to beat… Pegasus" that was all Yugi said before he collapsed under the pressure of the Shadow Realm.
Everyone gasped in shock. Hurt, sad, surprised, all wondering "What just happened?"
My arm began to hurt, so I knew right away something was wrong.
"Let's see if you can stop the shadows from devouring the little vessel." A voice hissed in my head.
I looked around to make sure the others hadn't noticed me yet, and luckily they hadn't because I was on the opposite side of them and they were too preoccupied with the duel to notice anyway.
"What do you mean?" I asked mentally. I snuck my way father back into the door way, just to be on the safe side, to keep anyone form noticing me.
"I'm sure you've heard our goals are completely different. I wish to destroy Yu-Gi-Oh and you wish to save it, and since I'm a fair player I've decided to let you know what I'm doing to watch you vainly try to stop me."
"Sounds like you're just cocky to me."
"I prefer 'confident', but that's not exactly important."
"You're right, please continue." Darn my politeness!
"It's not at all that cunning. I'm simply stopping Yugi's friends from helping the Pharaoh stop Pegasus' mind scan and keep Yugi from dying. Still think you can stop me?"
"Heh, you're the one who said it wasn't that cunning. Just watch me." My thoughts had way more confidence than I did about the whole situation. I had no idea what to do!
"I plan to; after all, you're the only one here who rivals my own strength." I felt the presence leave my mind, but I still had no plan whatsoever.
"Let us help!" Heather's voice said from my heart. "That's what we're here for!"
"Go for it you guys. I'll go with anything you say."
I suddenly felt as though my soul was being lifted out of my body and transported into the shadows, which was exactly what was happening.
"Where are we going?" I cried out.
" Yugi's friends can't transport their souls here, and that's the only way to help Yugi and the Pharaoh." I did say I'd go with anything they said.
I landed on ground that could easily be mistaken for the sky, because it all looked the same, and noticed a small body lying on the ground.
"Yugi!" I exclaimed as I ran towards Yugi's limp body. I got down on my knees and put his head on my lap, hoping he'd regain consciousness.
A faint light began to glow from the sky. As it got brighter and brighter I realized it was in the shape of an eye and it was trying to read the thoughts of…the Pharaoh!
"No!" I yelled, putting as much force as I could into pushing the eye out of the thoughts of the Pharaoh.
Pov: The Pharaoh
I could feel Pegasus trying his mind scan on me again. I knew I couldn't do anything, not with Yugi gone. I didn't even try to cover up my thoughts, but something else did.
"No!" A familiar voice cried out from where I could sense Yugi was.
I tried to see the face behind the voice and saw Sage holding Yugi in her lap.
"Sage!" I was shocked to see her there, especially after what had earlier.
"Heh heh. Hey other Yugi, what's up?" Sage asked with an embarrassed smile.
"W-What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to help you, duh. I'll look after Yugi and stop Pegasus from reading your hand, alright?
"B-but, aren't you upset about…"
"About what? All I recall was the wind blowing your card out of your hand and cutting me. Now get out there and beat Pegasus!"
I smiled. How could someone just forgive you so easily? Sage sort of reminded me of Yugi, actually. Yugi always forgave me, I wondered if he would after I defeated Pegasus. Wait…did I just say…
"Alright Sage, I'll see you after I defeat Pegasus." I began to return my consciousness to the duel at hand.
"Yep, see you then." Sage said with a big smile. That was the last thing I saw before Pegasus came into my view again with a look of shock on his face.
"What's wrong Pegasus? Shocked? I'm afraid this will resume as a regular duel once again. Get ready because here I come!"
Pov: General Narrator
Of course after that the Pharaoh won his duel against Pegasus and got all the souls back. Yugi also woke up and Sage returned to her own body where the voice was waiting.
"I'll admit, I'm impressed."
"You're the one who issued the challenge."
"And am I ever glad I did. Now this will be a fun game to play one-on-one with you."
"And by that you mean telling me what you're doing and involving everyone else where you feel necessary?"
"It's scary how much you know me already. Perhaps that will add to the challenge."
"You're insane."
"Thank you."
The voice left once again and Sage returned to her room to check up on DJ.
Pov: Sage
DJ was sound asleep in her bed and she kept mumbling things in her sleep, which let me know her soul had definitely been returned.
I smiled and walked out to the balcony. I peeked over the side to see the Pharaoh standing below me on the balcony that led to Mokuba's room. Seeing this as a good chance to stop calling the Pharaoh 'other Yugi', I purposely began to talk out loud to myself.
"I don't know. Yugi seems different at times. When he's different, he seems more like a…like a…" I had to keep myself from laughing."A PHARAOH! I think I'll ask the other Yugi if I can call him Pharaoh. I hope he'll like it."
I walked back in and burst out laughing, thus causing DJ to wake up.
"Self-Combusting Bunnies!" DJ exclaimed.
"Sorry, it's just me." I said with a smirk.
"Oh, hey Sage. I'm…um…going to take a nap." DJ said, rolling back under the covers.
"Ok, I'll be right back."
You see, I knew quite well that Bakura planed on going to kill Pegasus, and I really didn't feel like putting up with the Tenma's (for all of you who have read Yu-Gi-Oh R, you know what I mean). So, I decided to go save the guy.
I barged into Pegasus's room.
"Wha-" he stammered.
"SHHHH! GET IN THE CLOSET AND BE QUIET, NO MATTER WHAT!" I yell/whispered back. I then forced him up and into the closet and shut the door right before Yami Bakura came in.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said. Yeah right, if Yami Bakura was sorry, Kaiba wasn't a D-bag. "Is Pegasus in here?"
"No, sorry. Why?" I asked.
"No reason."
"Don't play dumb with me," this took Bakura back a bit. "I know you came to get Pegasus's Millennium Eye, and then planned to kill him. I'm not stupid Yami. Do you mind if I call you that, Yami?"
"You figured me out, huh? Well, I think I'll have a pleasure adding you to my 'Keep an eye on list'. And sure, why not? Call me whatever you wish." With that, Yami left the room with a slam of the door.
I let out a long sigh. I really didn't like making enemies, and here I was with two, and it was only the first season!
"You can come out now. I don't think he'll come back." I said in Pegasus' direction.
"How did you…why did you…" Pegasus tried to find the right question to ask me, but he couldn't find it.
"You got adopted kids, right?" He nodded his head. "Yeah, well, they need you. Now go father them or something."
"Wait," he said. "Can you take the Eye out? I don't want it. It's caused nothing but pain. So, I don't mind if it is painful when you take it out, I deserve it. And it's better than dying."
"I'll make it as painless as possible." I said with as much as a comforting smile I could give to a guy who was about to get his eye yanked out.
I asked for Morph's help, and he let me borrow his one arm, which had extremely pointy fingers. I pulled out Pegasus' eye in one swift motion with minimal blood spurting everywhere.
"Thank you." Pegasus said.
"No, THANK YOU. I have a funny feeling Yugi will need it." I said. "Uh, do you want a wipe for that blood…?"
"I think you're right. Oh, and yes, a wipe would be nice."
"Let's go back home!" Joey Shouted.
"Uh oh." I whispered so only DJ could here.
"What?" She asked.
"Do we even have a house to go to here?"
"I DON'T KNOW! I THOUGHT YOU PLANNED ALL OF THIS OUT!"
"NO! I JUST FELL FROM THE SKY ON THE ISLAND! HOW COULD HAVE I PLANED FOR THIS?"
Great. Just great. What were we going to do, bunk with someone? Everyone thought we had houses, not that we were homeless!
"Don't worry. This world has already planned for your arrival." Heather told me.
She was right. As soon as we landed in Domino a little chubby oriental woman with short, curly hazel hair in and a blue dress topped with a white apron waddled over to me with a big smile on her face.
"I'm so glad I found you! And one of your friends too! GREAT!" She said excitedly.
"Who are you?" I asked. I didn't recognize the women at all.
"Oh I'm Greta, your housemaid hired by your parents while they're away!"
DJ and I looked at each other, both confused.
"Uh…yeah! My…parents told me they'd be away! Will my friend DJ be staying with us?" I asked, using all the acting skills I had acquired over time.
"I think your parents said they rented out some condos for your friends that could be used when needed. The best part about them is that they're right across the street from our house!"
"Sweet! Let's go Sage! I wanna go home and crash for a bit!" DJ said with a big smile.
"You should all get some rest; school starts in a couple days." Greta stated.
DJ's smile quickly faded and turned into a grown. As we left for our new houses I heard her grumble "Great. I was kind of hoping this would be like an extended vacation from school. But instead we're thrust right back into school."
"Please, like the characters spend that much time at school." Both DJ and I burst out laughing, causing everyone to give us weird looks
Oh yeah! I finished season 1! Go me!
Sarah: Wow. Not planning on making your story very long, are you?
Just you wait! Besides, season one isn't really anyone's favorite season anyway. It was the one season the marketers chose to use for all the merchandise pictures!
Sarah: Yeah, they could have used a slightly better drawn season... Everyone looks...kind of freaky.
Yeah well, it doesn't really matter now.
Sarah: I think YamiHeart would be very grateful to evryone and anyone who commented. After all, everyone who has so far has gotten mentioned. Just think of all the publicity you could get of my Hikari...
Hey! Don't bribe people into commenting! But if you want to look at it that way...DARN IT SARAH! You're a bad influence!
Sarah: I try.
*SIGH* Hope to see you all again! Good bye!
