Me: HELLO! I'm here with a very early update. It's 20 past midnight where I am.
Yami: Don't remind me… I'm exhausted.
Me: Yawww, is lickle pharohy warohy sleepy?
Yami: Shut, the heck up…
Yugi: I play DMG!
Yami: He talks in his sleep ignore him.
Me: Oooohhhhkkkkaaaayyyy…. Anyway, thanks to ShakespeareSchoolGirl for letting me use her computer! (I'm at her house for a major writing ) Please enjoy chapter 7!
We ran home as fast as we could. I didn't want to stand staring at someone who wasn't there for another further 20 minutes. I pulled the guys behind the shed.
"Yugi," I commanded. "Give me your arm." He obediently held it out. I reached out my hand and touched it. A hardly noticeable shiver of colour snaked its way up his arm and spread like a pool of ink through his whole body. It was subtle enough to me, but if you can't see the guy…well that's a Grandpa Moto style heart attack right there. I used my free hand and slapped him hard across the cheek, the same as I'd done with Yami, resulting in a word I didn't know was an entry in Yugi's dictionary. "Sorry mate, but it was only fair."
"I concur," Yami nodded, pulling a piece of holly from his star-fish like hair. "Who knew you could slap like that?"
"That's four years of karate for you," I laughed. Yami grinned.
"We have a dangerous girl on our hands partner,"
"Even more dangerous than Mai?" Yugi quizzed.
"Is Mai dangerous?"
"She is to Joey." Yugi giggled.
"And Valon." I commented, but suddenly realised my mistake.
"Who?" The two asked simultaneously.
"No-one!" I blurted. "Let's go inside."
I opened my eyes. Inky darkness greeted me. I blinked, and my vision corrected. It was the middle of the night, and I was in my room. The "discussion" I'd had with my parents that night had not been pleasant. I sat up and looked around. Yami and Yugi were asleep on my couch, leant against my walls as they had been the first day I met them… Wait… No... I squinted. Where were they?
A faint blue-ish glow was coming from the computer room. I pressed my back to the wall, and strained my ears to hear what the voices were saying.
"I'm sorry Joey…" Yami whispered. "This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make…"
There was a short pause. "S'ok mate." Joey replied. "Do it."
"Joey…" Yugi sniffed. He looked to his partner, who nodded.
"Joey, it's been an honour. Dark Magician, attack!"
With a loud flash and a drained bleep, the duel was over.
"We have our champion! Yugi Moto!"
"YUGI MOTO!" I screamed, bursting into the room. The two boys jumped, their eyes big with terror.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Yugi bowed his head multiple times, Japanese cultural politeness style. Yami didn't say anything. He just looked at me, his violet eyes boring into mine. It was no use though. I ALWAYS win staring matches. He broke my gaze.
"What do you think you are doing?" I demanded.
"When you mentioned that guy earlier, and then covered it up… It was too suspicious Jen." Yami said quietly.
"I still had some solidness in my hand from earlier, so we used it to access your computer." Yugi added.
"You had every episode on your Favourites list." There was an awkward silence. "You didn't tell us Jenna."
I hit the off button on the computer. "I didn't want to hurt you."
"What hurt us more is the fact you didn't tell the truth." Yami sighed.
"That we're not part of some documentary show. We're a thought, and successful idea out of some Japanese guy's mind." Yugi said bitterly.
"No!" I turned to them angrily. "No! You-are-so-much-more! Not just to me, to millions and millions of people out there world wide! You've been translated into about 30 languages! You have a TGC! I've even seen a deck chair with your face on it! In Italy! You're not just an idea! You are every thing to the fan base!"
"You see. We've been translated. You don't get it Jen! WE ARE A SHOW! The minute people get bored of us, we're out of here!" Yugi yelled, tears forming in the corner of his anime eyes.
"Partner…" Yami placed his hand on his shoulder. "Even if we are an anime show, we still have a purpose. We're here for a reason, and we've gotta find out what it is, no matter what happens. You have to believe me when I say I'm upset, but really Yugi. Don't let it hold you back. You never back down from a fight, no matter how hard it is. Please partner."
Yugi looked to his friend, and then to me. "Ok," He sniffed, wiping his nose on his sleeve. Yami batted him lightly on the chin with his fist.
"That's it mate!" He grinned. Yugi laughed a little, and I smiled.
"C'mon, let's…" I turned back to the door, and face planted right into my dressing-gown clad father. "Oh crap…" I murmured. "That's not good."
"No," My dad replied menacingly. "It's really not…"
Me:*evil cackle* I just luvvvvvv my cliff hangers!
ShakespeareSchoolGirl: I just knewwwwwww you'd say that!
Yami: Holy freaking Slifer! When did she get here!
SSG: You obviously have eye problems, cos I've been here since the beginning of the chapter. It is my house, and it is my laptop.
Yugi: I like cheese! (he's asleep still btw.)
Me: Sigh… what a strange child… ahem 17 year old adolescent male… Ok hope you enjoyed that!
Yami: What's the review prize this time? A deck chair with my face on ti?
Me: NO, but I really did see that on holiday in Italy. Really did! Ok, no prize this time but I know you love me enough to review regardless! XXX
