Me: Chapter 8 people! Yayz!
Yugi: Yay!
Yami: Woo...
Me: Honestly, be more enthusiastic Yami. Your so nasty! Anyhoo, I have a new Yugioh story planned. I really like it. If any of you have ever read "Broken" by Wedjwat (um, did I spell that right? *shot*) it's similar, but I didn't steal anything! I came up with it before I read it! I need a title though. I may post it after this is done... Ok enjoy the chapter! It's a goodun!
I was banned off the computer. Permanently. For, like, ever.
I felt horrible. Not because I'd lost the computer. Because the boys knew. And they found out in the hardest way. Alone. Which is how I felt right now.
I collapsed back onto my bed, face down. Yami sat next to me, and patted my shoulder. I felt a shiver course through me as his hand passed through me.
"Yami? How come your hand just went through me, and you've hugged me before without that happening?" I asked.
"I wondered that myself," Yugi agreed, sitting shoulder to shoulder with his friend. (They really were the same height, now that you looked closely. Yami just had better posture, which made him about a foot taller) "I think we can only touch you if you want us to. Oh... that sounded weird." He blushed.
"We know what you mean Yugi." Yami ruffled Yugi's hair playfully. Yugi giggled and pushed him, prompting Yami to grind his knuckles into his head in that random boyish way. It's probably the closest guys get to a hug. Proper hugs, not like, man hugs, where they pat each other on the back for 5 minutes.
"Jenna, get some sleep. You need it after today." Yami advised. I nodded, and almost as soon as my head touched the pillow, darkness overcame me.
"Yami? Do you think Jen will be ok?"
I opened my eyes. A yellow, sandstone-brick wall met my gaze. I jumped up quickly, rounded the wall, and immediately lept back. Yami and Yugi were sat together on the edge of some stone steps. Yami was leant back, eyes closed, and Yugi was leant over, chin cupped in his unusually large hands.
"I think she'll cope," Yami replied after a moment. "I'm just concerned that she might..." His dark purple eyes snapped open, and he flipped with lightning speed onto his heels, one hand out to steady himself.
"Pharaoh? What's-" Yugi began, but Yami put his finger to his lips.
"I can sense another spirit here..." He frowned. "Stay back." There was a strange bleeping noise, and out of no where, a duel disk fashioned on his right arm. He reached around his side, and pulled out his deck from the pouch hanging at his hip, and quickly slotted them into place.
"Come out! Where are you?"
"We're not afraid!" Yugi added, which was clearly a lie on his part. I took a breath and stepped around the wall.
"He-ey guys." I waved. Yami's face softened, and Yugi gave a sigh of relief.
"Jenna! Don't scare us like that."
"Sorry boys. Pharaoh? Are we in your soul room?"
Yami nodded, standing up and shaking his legs out. "Yup. Though, I don't know how you got here."
"My guess is a good as yours mate." I eyed his duel disk jealously. "Can I have a go? I've always wanted to use one of them."
Yami unclipped it from his arm, removed his deck and handed it over. I slipped it on, and nearly collapsed under the weight.
"Sheesh, these things are really heavy."
"No joke," Yugi sighed. Yami rubbed his arm and sat down again.
"Can I use it?"
"Go crazy," Yami smiled. "Do you have your deck?"
I felt in my pyjama pocket, and funnily enough, it was there. I took out the top card, and placed it on the panel. Magician's Valkyria formed in a flash of blinding light before me.
"Oh wow! Hi MV! I've always wanted to do that!" I squealed excitedly. MV nodded at me, at Yugi, and then lowered her head a bit lower for Yami. Yami frowned.
"Stop it." She gave a small smile, and the two of them stared at each other for a moment.
"Oh..." Yugi said slowly. "They're having a mind conversation."
"Really? That's cool!" I grinned excitedly. Yami shook his head suddenly.
"You can not be serious!" We stared at him, and he went red. "Um, sorry." MV sighed, and turned back to me.
"It's an honour to serve in your deck Jennifer." She said. Her voice wasn't what I'd expected. It was quite deep for a girl, with this strange ring in it. It made me want to listen to what she was saying.
"No problem. Glad you're enjoying it." She smiled again.
"I consider it a duty, rather than a pleasure, Jennifer, but I'd say than serving in your deck is an interesting experience." She turned around to Yami and Yugi. "I have a feeling these two wish to duel you, and I believe the want is mutual."
Yami looked at Yugi, and grinned. "You think right. Jenna, how about it?"
"Totally!" I cheered. "Who's first?"
Yugi shrugged. "Yami can go first."
"Wimp. Ok Yami, you're up!" I removed MV's card from the plate and pushed it back into my deck. Yami clicked his fingers and another Duel Disk appeared on his arm. We walked up to each other and swapped decks. My fingers trembled as I shuffled it. "I'm holding your deck! OMG!"
Yami snorted, but didn't say anything.
"Tongue tied?"
Yami too shrugged, but didn't speak.
"Be careful Jen. Yami turns into a different person when he duels." Yugi warned. Still shuffling, Yami laughed. I frowned. He did seem a little different. He handed over my deck, and I gave him his.
"Oh. Wait." He took his deck, leafed through and pulled out a card. Before I could see what it was, he slipped it into the middle of my deck. "Borrow that, and see how you go." He winked. I slammed the deck into the holder, and activated the slide out card plates with a dramatic pump of my arm. Yami grinned.
"Game Start." He breathed mysteriously. And disappeared.
"Where'd he go!" I looked around me. Yugi rolled his eyes.
"Holy Ra Yami, that is so immature!"
"Aw, let up Yugi. I haven't had a fresh duel in aaaggggeeesss! I need a bit of fun!" Yami's familiar voice echoed around his soul room.
"But that's not fair on Jenna!" Yugi complained. Yami laughed, but this time, it was... different, as if he'd suddenly become a 10 year old. It was a young, carefree sort of laugh. And it was dead creepy.
"Mate, I know you said he became a different person, but this takes the biscuit!" I moaned at Yugi.
"He only ever does it in his soul room," Yugi explained. "All the memories overload him. Playing games makes him relax."
"Hurry UP Jenna! Getting bored here!"
"Stop being so childish Pharaoh!" Yugi yelled.
"No." I stopped him. "It's ok. I'll let him off. After all, he is a kid still." Yugi looked confused, so I continued. "He's got to be at least the same age as you."
"Do you think so?" Yugi's shoulders slumped and his head tilted to the side, interested.
"Well, he looks about that age. How old ARE you, out of interest."
"17."
"Midget." I giggled. "Y'see, he can't be more than 20, really. Short reign and all." Yugi nodded thoughtfully.
"All right boy Pharaoh! Let's see what you can do! What are the rules?"
"Oh I thought you'd never ask! First, you have to find me. Yugi can help you, he knows his way around here better than you do and he has the Millennium Puzzle to help him. Then, and only then do we duel. The game starts when you take your first step. And be careful! I haven't removed the traps just for you! There are things I don't want you finding!"
"That sounds dodgy..." I said darkly.
"Good Luck!" Yami's voice echoed a final time.
"C'mon Yugi! We have a Pharaoh to find!"
