Me: Hi guys! Because you've all been so patient and lovely, I'm double updating, so you have lots to read!

Yami: You're sucking up to them.

Me:*blushes* Sshhhh!

Yugi: I certainly looks like that...

Me: These two... why do I bother? Enjoy you guys!

3 months later, and not a lot more had happened. I was prohibited from going to school because of "anti-social behaviour" so my parents got me a tutor in, which was humongously boring. And on top of that, I wasn't allowed on the Internet, which sucked, so I didn't really have much to do. I just kept playing Duel Monsters. Yami hadn't fulfilled his promise of a duel to me, but I could wait.

One afternoon, I was permitted to go up town myself while my parents busied themselves with work. I trawled up to the High Street and pressed my nose against the local GAME store window, wishing that they still sold "YU-GI-OH! Duellist of the Roses" since mine had broken after prolonged usage. (I loved that game. Yami found it interesting that he was allegedly Henry Tudor.)

So there I was, clouding up the window, when I noticed something in the reflection. Behind me, and around the corner of a small alley, there was a person in a baggy denim jacket, dark glasses and a headscarf leant against the wall. He looked a little dodgy, and he was looking in my direction. I narrowed my eyes, and moved away from the shop. He rose up from against the wall, and followed at a slow pace.

"Guys," I murmured. Yami and Yugi swished into place beside me. I'd taken to letting them rest inside of me when I was out in public, so I could still talk to them but not have to look at them. Just so it didn't look like I was talking to an invisible person. Which I was, in ways.

"Is that dude following me?"

Yugi nodded. "Yup. He looks creepy."

"I'm getting a feeling he's probably not as big a threat as you think Jen, so calm down." Yami assured me. I grunted softly.

"You always say stuff like that."

"I've faced bigger dangers than you have, so I think I'd recognise one when I saw it."

"But Pharaoh, he's trailing her." Yugi protested. Yami craned his neck around, checked him out, and then shrugged, turning back to us.

"It'll be fine."

This went on for a few minutes. I was getting more and more uneasy, and every time I stopped at a shop, he did too. He was walking closer and closer to me each time, and at one point, he even bumped me. I eventually stopped and faced him.

"Excuse me! Can I help you with something?"

He gave a grim smile. "Why yes, you can." In a flash, he had me around the neck, and a sharp flick knife against it. I gave a strangled cry of terror. I kicked and struggled, but he just squeezed tighter.

"Right little lady, you're coming with me!"

People in the street were giving me strange looks, but not ones of fear for my safety, or horror at the situation. More "OMG who is this weirdo?"

"Help! Help please!" I screamed, reaching out my hand desperately. An old man nodded as he walked past.

"It's certainly original." His wife walking with him tutted.

"I do dislike these street acts. Their quite awful."

Street act? How could they think me being attacked by a random man with a knife was a street act?

As I was dragged off further down the High Street, yelling at the top of my voice, the boys were desperately trying to help me in whatever way they could. Yugi ran at me, attempting to take control, but bounced off.

"Yami! I can't get through!" He said in a panicky voice. Yami went pale.

"How?..." He whispered.

Still wriggling furiously, I looked up at my attacker, and gave a gasp as he smiled back.

"You-you're-"

"Recognise me?" He stopped, giving the knife a little more pressure.

"Bandit Keith!" I breathed. "But, how?"

We were now rounding the corner of the alley I had first seen him in. A few passers-by had thrown me money for my "performance", despite the fact I was screaming, punching and crying like a baby while clutching my neck in pain. He let go of my neck, and flung me against a brick wall, where another pair of hands grabbed me.

"Bones!" I yelped. Bones, one of Bandit Keith's accomplices grinned savagely. Yami ran up to me.

"Jenna, make me visible so he can see me!"

"I can see you fine Yugi," Bandit Keith said nonchalantly. Yami whipped around in fury, his fists clenched.

"Let her go! Now!"

"Well well Mutou. I thought there was only one of you. Seems there's more hanging around. Who's this? Relative?"

Yugi gave a low growl quite unlike himself while he held onto my arm tightly.

"Quite a turn up for the books. How'd you get a hold of someone-some people I should say-like that, girl?" Bandit Keith addressed me, picking his teeth with his knife slowly. "Do you want the gold too?"

"Leave her out of this blockhead!" Yami roared. "We have her own fights, let her be!"

"Is Marik still controlling you? Please, push away the darkness Keith!" Yugi implored.

"Nah, I'm in total control of myself actually. And I'm having far to much fun to stop now. So, tell me girly," He leaned close to me. I turned away me head and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the smell of stale whisky. "How come we're here?"

"I don't know," I squeaked.

"I think you do sweetheart, because if you have the Mutou's hanging around with you, they're gonna know, and that means we have to know too. So-"

"We know as much as you do Keith!" Yugi butted in.

"Which is what? Because I know nothing Mutou. Not how or why I got to this damn place, so you're gonna tell me! Or at least, your friend is."

"We're from a cartoon show, and somehow, kids all over the planet have been drawing us out!" Yugi gushed everything out quickly. "That means if you're here too, someone must have drawn you out! You should find them, they may know more than we do..."

"I wouldn't subject anyone to Bandit Keith's company," Yami interrupted drily. "Especially when he reeks like a gutter after a Saturday night rave."

"Shut your damn mouth Mutou!" Bandit Keith hissed. Yami tilted his head back challengingly, an almost regal air surrounding him. "Stop acting like you're King of everything."

"I'm King of Games a whole lot more, so you can just be quiet Keith." Yami replied cooly.

"Wanna test it newbie?" Bandit Keith swept his arm out, and a Duel Disk beeped into life on his arm.

"I've been around longer than you think," Yami said with quiet authority. "But you're on." His own Duel Disk appeared, and the two got ready.

"LET'S DUEL!"

"I'm gonna be nice and let you start," Bandit Keith gave a gold toothed grin. Yami drew a hand and gave a confident grin.

"I play Queen's Knight, and end my turn."

Bandit Keith rolled his eyes. "That all you got? Well then, I play..."

He never finished his sentence. A scream erupted behind him, and there was a dull thunk as he was struck across the head. Bones yelped and let go of me.

"Sir? Sir?" He asked, before he too was felled.

"C'mon Wheeler. Let's go." A voice said in the shadows. There was the sound of feet running down the alley, and our saviour was gone. The boys helped me to my feet, but I was shaking all over.

"Wheeler!" I breathed excitedly. "That can only be one person!"

Yugi looked up at me, his eyes shining.

"Joey!"

Me: OMFG it's Joey! Or is it? Muhahahaha!

Yami: It is.

Me: *stares* You evil boy... Anyhow, please review, I really appreciate it!
Yugi: And your prize is me singing a song!

Me:(Maybe, if I can think of one. Would you like that? x)
