Chapter 4

The sky was still bright blue of the late afternoon and Joey was still gloating to himself about winning his first real duel, which had happened about two hours ago.

"Is there a time limit on how long he gets to gloat?" asked Tea sighing slightly. Kagome giggled.

"Cut him some slack! He just won his first major duel" said Tristan, defending his god friend. "Did you ever think he would beat Mai in a duel?" Kagome giggled again.

"I knew he would do it" Said Yugi. "I'm really proud of you Joey" Kagome's third giggled got the three looking at her strangely.

"I'm sorry, he just looks like a puppy who found the dog treats" she said suppressing a laugh as Joey somehow heard her, and retorted back.

"Hey!" they all laughed at that, but stopped when Joey's and Kagome's stomach's grumbled. "Ah, all that dueling made me hungry"

"Me too, even though I was only watching" blushed Kagome. Everyone else looked down at there stomachs as they too grumbled.

"Did any of you bring food whicha?" asked Joey. Everybody but Kagome shook there heads. "Do you Kagome?"

She nodded her head in confirmation and pointed to her back pack.

"I wasn't sure how long I would be here, so I packed a whole bunch of food." She replied "Lets find a place to rest and I'll unpack and we can have lunch."

"Sure, what kind of resting place?" asked Tea

"A place that we can set up a fire, I have to cook some of the stuff I brought." She said. They all nodded and started walking around for a nice place to stop. It was about five minuets later when Yugi looked around confused.

"Were did Joey go?" he said out loud. Everyone else noticed that was gone too and called around for him. There was no answer. They kept walking around and they came upon a rocky platform and cliffs. Joey was close to the cliff by a fire and freshly caught and cooked fish, chowing down like there was no tomorrow.

"Joey! What do you think your doing?" yelled Kagome annoyed. They were supposed to be looking for a place to eat, not eat someone else's food! "That's not your food!"

They all ran up to him and the convenient looking fire. Tristan quickly ate a fish and tried to eat the last fish that had been cooking, only to be pinned still by a glare from Kagome. "Put it back." He voice sounded the many times she scolded Inuyasha for eating the last of the ramen before the rest the gang could eat. They gulped and set the fish back down. Man could she be scary.

"You guy's, that wasn't your food!" reprimanded Tea. "That was probably another duelist's lunch."

"But we were so hungry! We couldn't wait for the food to be cooked." said Joey, trying and failing to defend his hungry stomach. "My tummy made me do it!"

Kagome and Yugi sighed. That was one of the lamest excuses ever.

"Oh well, looks like more for me, Tea, and Yugi. You guys will just have to watch us eat." Said Kagome and Tea smiled at that. They sat around the fire, but before they could even start to cook, someone climbed over the cliff that fell to the ocean.

It was a man with naturally dark sun tanned skin, bluish black messy spiked and tied back hair, small emerald green eyes, built body, and only wore a pair of torn jean shorts.

"Enjoy your selves, you fish thieves, this is your last meal!" he yelled "How dare you eat my fish you thieving poachers. Didn't anyone ever teach you manners-!" A large wave came up from the cliff, cutting off his ranting and pulling him back over the edge and into the water. The blinked, they weren't sure they had actually seen him. Tristan tried to sneak the last of the fish, but Kagome took it from him and pinned him with another glare.

The climbed over the edge again and stood up still angry.

"Let's try that again" he said to himself. "How dare you steal my fish, you bottom feeding thieves." He looked like he was going to try and rant again, but Kagome set her glare from Tristan to him. He froze for a second at her bone chilling glare.

"Hey, chill out" said Joey, waving his hand innocently while standing up. Kagome's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "It's just a few fish"

"A few fish that don't belong to you!" he yelled. "To steal a fisherman's catch is to show you have no honor!" he waved his duel covered hand in Kagome's face and her eyebrow twitched again and this time she growled lowly and glared full on at him, stopping his movements. Her glares rivaled those of Sesshy-sama himself.

"Do not assume that we all stole the fish. Knowing and not knowing we stole from a fisherman does not mean we have no honor. And waving a fist in a persons face without asking questions shows you have no manners. Learn some!" she ranted to him. He backed away a little, but he looked more impressed than scared of her. The others just looked at her dumb founded. Who knew she had a temper, "Dumb ass." or a mouth?

Truth be told, he hadn't actually seen her, he was looking towards Tristan and Joey. He didn't see the woman in from of him, but he wished he did. She was beautiful! Hair like a raven's wings and eyes like the ocean herself, changing from calm to stormy in an instant and skin moon kissed pale. A goddess on earth sent by the kami's themselves.

"You're beautiful" he said dumbly. Everyone face planted, while Kagome face-palmed and blushed lightly. "Please forgive my manners and not noticing you sooner. You look like a goddess of the sea, and the temper of its storms" he grabbed her hand that was to her face and kissed it.

"Eek!" she jumped away and hid behind Yugi's slightly smaller form "Hide me!" she pleaded. Yugi sweat dropped before he noticed the dueling glove on the newcomer's right hand.

"Wait a minuet, aren't you Mako Tsunami? The top ranked ocean duelist?" he asked curiously, while fitting the pieces together in his mind while still harboring Kagome behind him.

"Mako Tsunami? I've heard of him." said Kagome, still not coming out from behind her new friend. "A master of the sea's duelist who took third in regionals.

"Ah so you have heard of me goddess" said Mako. "May I be privileged to know you and your parties names?"

"You're that freaky fish guy we saw on the TV!" yelled Joey suddenly putting the pieces together.

"I am not a freaky fish guy!" he yelled back "I am Mako Tsunami, duelist extraordinaire of the Seven seas!" suddenly Kagome and Tea were trying hard not to laugh, though a few escaped.

"Eh, what are you laughing about" he asked confused.

"Your head!" she said pointing at his head. A pink miniature squid was crawling on it and his face mask for underwater swimming. "You've got company" she singed. He looked up at it as Joey started laughing loudly. Mako growled, picked the sea creature off his head and threw it impressively back over the cliff and into the sea.

"No!" cried Tristan and Joey, crying "I wanted to eat that" they said while looking over the cliff.

"Please tell me those two aren't here as duelists" Mako scoffed and asked the other three. "You still haven't graced me with your names."

"I'm Yugi Mouto, sorry about the fish." He said before gesturing to the dumb and dumber twins. "That's Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor. These two are Tea Gardner and Kagome Higurashi."

"Wait, your Yugi Mouto? The one who beat the undefeated champ Seto Kaiba?" he asked surprised "And this beautiful goddess is Kagome Higurashi Taisho, the adopted sister of Sesshoumaru Taisho of the Taisho Corporation?"

"Shit" she whispered to herself. They all looked at her in new eyes, shocked at what Mako said of Kagome. They never would have guessed.

"Is this true Kagome?" asked Yugi curiously and a little hurt that his new friend hadn't told him. She sighed before standing up strait and loot ant Yugi apologetically.

"Damn fluffy-sama. I'll never forgive him for that." She looked at everyone. "Ya, I'm sorry guys. I didn't want people throwing match's to me, so I didn't say anything. Truthfully, I never wanted to be named or adopted my fluffy. He did it without my knowledge and my mothers approval." She looked at the ground "Trust me when I say it's not fun to have people poking into your private and social lives."

No one knew what to say at first, but Yugi broke the silence by smiling at her.

"It's alright. I understand why you would want t say anything, but we still could have helped keep your secret"

"I know. Again I'm sorry" Kagome bowed before sitting on the ground by the fire and getting everyone's food ready. "I'll make lunch for you Mako since dumb and dumber ate yours." He accepted and they all sat around the fire with a nice conversation till Kagome served up some sandwiches and chicken flavored ramen for her group. "You will have to wait a second Mako." She grabbed her bag, ran behind a tree and changed into some swim trunks and bathing suit. She grabbed one of her miniature throwing arrows and walked back to the group.

"I will be right back with the second course" The others didn't say anything when they saw her in the black swimming attire. The guys just looked at her. She really was beautiful as Mako had said. Yugi was the first to break out of his trance and look back at the fire as she jumped over the cliff edge, throwing the arrow strait into the water a few seconds before she herself hit the water.

"That was beautifully done" said Tea out loud. They all nodded in agreement, none noticing the mysterious Yugi look alike next to Yugi smiling in agreement. He was sure the girl was familiar, but he couldn't remember. The shadow faded back into Yugi as they started eating

An hour later everyone was contently full and Kagome was dressed back into her usual attire.

They all watched the ocean roll around as Mako talked about his dream to buy a boat and sail the seas. Anyone could tell he was in love with ocean by the way he talked fondly of it. Like they had know each other since he was a child.

Just as they were about to leave though, Mako surprised them and threw a spear at their intended path of travel, stopping them in their tracks.

"I know I don't have any right to say this, but I want a duel with Yugi Mouto. I got lucky when my bait reeled in you five." he said arrogantly. Kagome smacked her forehead. The fish, an obvious trap and she didn't even see it.

Kagome sighed, annoyed by this man. First the Kouga like compliments, the accusations of them being thieves, and now a duel challenge.

"You know what, Yugi, can I handle this one? You can have the chips since I don't really need them, but this guy is really getting on my nerves" asked Kagome "pretty please?"

"Sure, just make sure you beat him." He said. Kagome nodded and looked at Mako.

"I'm going to duel you." she told him. "If you beat me then you can face Yugi, but for now you are mine." Mako nodded.

"Of coarse, goddess. We shall see you is the stronger duelist" he proclaimed. "If I win you go on a date with me." Kagome shuddered. Kouga all over again.

"If I win, you will ask people fairly to a duel, not luring and trapping them"

"Deal. Get ready to have a romantic night on the ocean." he smirked.

Kagome felt the presence stir and Yugi was taller than her. The other one was back, but why? The presence seemed conflicted, but Yugi's expression never changed.

"We will battle along the Majestic Sea!" yelled out Mako, as a platform rose up from the sea right next to the cliff, close enough for them to climb onto the platform. Kagome nodded and walked forward with the others, but was stopped by Yugi's hand on her shoulder.

"Try not loose this one."He said to her. "he doesn't need a bigger ego than he does now."

She smiled prettily at him and placed a hand over his.

"Of course, don't worry, the duel will be done before you know it" She said and turned back and climbed up onto the platform. The others gathered around and watched the duel.

Mako was an impressive duelist. There were so many close calls that Tea and Yugi became slightly worried about their friend.

"Water of Swordsman, Attack and end this duel!" Kagome shouted out. The Blue knight raised its sword and a jet of water shot from the ocean and attacked Mako, sending his life-points to zero.

All of her friends cheered for her victory. The two star chips were given to Yugi and they left with good-byes and promises to see each other again. Kagome ran out of sight before he could start professing love to her, and the others ran down the road after her.

So here was the rewritten chapter. Sorry that there wasn't much of a duel, except for the ending, but I couldn't think of anything. Hopefully its satisfying.

Reviews please!
