Sorry that the last chapter was really short and not that good, seemed longer when i had written it, but with writing it in Notability and all, i couldn't really tell. Anyway, hope you all like this chapter and keep reading!
This Dragonborn does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. Nor does she own the LK things in this chapter.
I woke up with a slight headache facing a not very busy street. This is odd, everything looks...animated? What. The. Heck. How is this all animated! Wait... I was being chased by an animated character through my school and passed out,how am I surprised at THIS exactly? I then stood up and looked around, i didn't see anyone else. Only a purse. Only a blue jeans purse. Only a blue jeans purse that looked EXACTLY like the one I had. I instantly scrambled up and over to it a bit further down the sidewalk I was on. Once I got there, I looked through it, not caring if it wasn't mine and someone was looking for it, for I knew it was mine. Inside the main pocket, I found my phone (dead) a charger (possibly for my phone) and my random butt deck of 38 cards from two booster packs i had gotten for a birthday. I was satisfied to see my favorite card, Hieratic Dragon of Su, on top (cards face-up) with my Trance the Magic Swordsman, my second favorite, directly underneath it. It was then that I decided to get up and see where I was.
I knew that my family was not going to find me, I was in an anime world for crying out loud! And I couldn't call for help (unless I wanted to shout really loudly) because my phone was dead. I saw a few apartment buildings around me and down the road a plaza. In the plaza, I saw a really tall clock post and then a joke popped into my head, just a random joke that isn't even really funny.
"I wonder what time it is." It was just a little joke, but i instantly knew where I was. OH MY RA I'M IN THE YUGIOH 'VERSE! THIS IS FREAKING EPIC! Then I got knocked down as someone bumped into me.
I turned and apologized only to see that the person was Yugi. "I'm sorry." I said quietly in amazement. "No, it's my fault. I should have been watching where I was going." Said the baby panda- I mean Yugi. "Um, no problem." I said nervously. "You wouldn't know where I could possibly check out some games, do you?" I asked. "There's my grandfather's game shop, want me to take you there?" He answered. "Sure." I said.
-at the game shop-
"So you like games too?" Yugi asked. "Yea! Love them! Wow, there are a lot of games here." I started looking through all the games. The board games, the dice games, the pencil-and-paper games. They even had some games i had never seen before and others that I could never hope to pronounce.
I turned back to Yugi to ask a question, completely caught up in the games, when I finally noticed that he didn't have the Millennium Puzzle. And I noticed the small fact that we were speaking English. Huh, so I'm after season 5? But Yugi looks so short. So, before season 0? Go figure.
"So, which school do you go to?" Yugi asked.
"Um, I'm not really sure, can't really remember much. I, um, just can't really seem to remember much..." I lied. Man, I hate having to lie to Yugi! I mean, it's Yugi! YUGI! *has anime crush on Yugi*
"Really? That's too bad. Would you like to stay with me and Grandpa 'till we can figure out where your family is? I mean, with Grandpa's consent." He asked kind of sheepishly. I couldn't really blame him though. He was asking this chick that he had just bumped into, showed basically his house, and who couldn't "remember" a thing. Not to mention he's totally really shy. CUUUUTE!
"Um, sure. I mean, if it's not too much of a bother."
So with that, we asked Yugi's grandpa (for some reason, I feel a little awkward just calling him Grandpa) and he said yes. Of course, I'd need to work to help out with the extra costs and shtaff (how I say stuff sometimes) and I got a room next to Yugi's. He even offered to enroll me in Domino High (which I'm lucky has also has a middle school portion, me being in only 8th grade). School started the next week, so we had to hurry to get my supplies, me making sure to get a couple of pairs of spandex shorts to wear under the skirt, I am NOT letting some guy be able to see my undies. Deffinantly (however you spell it, stupid spell check not working right, little help please?) a NO! And so, for the majority of the school day, once it started, I was not able to be with Yugi. (:( ) Although at the lunch break, I was able to get to his classroom as he was pulling out the box the currently disassembled Millennium Puzzle was in. He started talking, to himself as he hadn't noticed me coming in. It was the usual line, "Ah, that's right! What if I finish THAT today! I've always got it with me. It's my treasure!
"In this box, is my treasure, but it's a complete secret. So here's the quiz... The treasure in this box is something you can see, but you've never seen before. So! What is it?" "I don't know. Sounds like a toughie." I said, effectively startling Yugi. "Wh-when did you get here?" "Only a minute ago." "Eheh, you must think I'm dumb now..." He said, turning his purple eyes downward at his desk." "No, I think it's pretty neat. 'Something you can see, but you've never seen before', neat!" Just then Jonouchi snatched the Puzzle. "Joey," Yugi said. Wait, Isn't this season 0? Why is Yugi using the dubbed names? "Yugi, why are you talking to yourself?" The blond said, either ignoring me or just not taking notice.
"Because it's fun." I stated matter-of-factly, earning me a weird look from Jonou- I mean Joey. I should have expected that. He then continued saying, "Can see but can't, saying a bunch of stuff I don't get." totally butchering it. Yugi then jumped up and was trying to get the Puzzle back. "Ah! Please return that! Return..." Yugi pleaded. But, of course, to no avail.
I, being taller, decided to go behind Joey and try to grab it from behind, but Joey backed up against a desk so I couldn't. He then tossed behind his head then jumped over the desk (always admired the way he did that, looks so cool!) and caught it on the other side. "Man," He continued "timidly treasuring this box... You know Yugi... That's the part of you that really pisses me off
"Let me coach you into being more of a man! Come on, you want this box back right?! If so, then come at me full force" Failing to think that I might do that, which is what I REALLY wanted to do. But, Yugi then yelled "I... I hate fighting and violence!" "Gaaah. You have no guts, but you've got a loud voice!" And, just for good measure, *gets evil grin ( :) emoticon) on face* I yelled at the top of my lunges, "WE WOULDN'T BE YELLING IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN THAT BOX!" "Gah!" He yelled again, "Yours is loud too!" "DEAL WITH IT, PUNK!" Yugi then said "Ah, just give me that box back!"
"Yea! Stop it Joey." Said a voice that I could easily imagine saying something like "My hair gives me super strength!". Yep, it's Honda! Actually Tristan, I'm assuming. "Oh?! You want something? 1year, student president reject...clean up member Tristan Taylor." What's with using his last name? I guess it's just so it fits more like the Japanese version. "I'm not a clean up member. I'm a beautification member!" Yelled Tristan. Joey then remarked, "All your voices are loud!"
"Oh, it's true, I was not elected to be student president, but...but I'm reborn as a beautification club member..." Joey then started talking, helping us to completely ignore Tristan's beautification speech. A worse speech than all the friendship speeches in this show. (Please note that I did not target Téa, she isn't the only one in this show to make them, and I'm tired of her being targeted because she just makes the most.) I'm missing dubbed version Tristan already.
Joey asked us, "By de way, what's in da box?" His Brooklyn accent leaking through. "You can look, just don't lose it. It's extremely important to me!" Yugi said. I sent Joey a warning glare along with the mental message "If you try anything funny, I'll kick you where the sun don't shine!". Joey then looked into the box as Tristan stated, "Pay attention when a person's talking!"
"What? How boring." Joey said boredly. I then took Téa's line as she was coming in saying, "If it's so boring than give it back right away!"
-small time skip-
"By the way, what is this?" Téa said. I had sat through her "Tough" lecture only half listening, looking around the classroom. As she said this, I focused my attention back on them. "Oh right! Téa, Elisa, you haven't seen this, right? Let me show you my secret." "Okay. I'll keep it secret, let me see." She said. "I will too. I promise." I added. Yugi then lifted the top of the box and showed us the shining Puzzle. Man, it really does glow. Maybe it's the light? Who am I kidding, I know it's not the light. So pretty. "It's beautiful!" Téa exclaimed. I added "So shiny."
"Are these parts? It's all scattered." Téa continued. "It's a puzzle." Yugi explained, "I haven't finished it yet, so I don't know what it's shape is yet. So, it's something you can see, but can't."
-time skip- -after school-
Yugi and I were stopping to watch the "Morality club" or whatever it was practicing their punches and kicks. We were about to leave when Ushio said, "Wait a moment you two." Oh no, *sigh* was kind of hoping he wouldn't notice us, why exactly?
"Your Moto Yugi and Elisa, right?" "Yes" Yugi answered. "Actually, I wanted to ask you two something. Have the class students been bullying you two?" "No sir." I promptly replied. I was too much the "back of the class, don't want to get noticed" type to really be noticed much. Yugi answered "Nothing like that's happened to me!" "Wait a moment." Ushio replied. "People like you two would reply like that." "How would you know?" I shot back. "I just started here and the school year has barely started up. You don't know me." Ignoring me, he continued, "I must properly investigate this. You can relax Yugi, Elisa. From now on, I, Ushio will be your bodyguard." My butt if we can relax! You're just going to beat US up along with Joey and Tristan! I mentally shouted at him.
"Eh?! But I really haven't experienced that. Excuse me!" And with that he ran off, me right on his heels after a split second reaction time.
-game shop-
"We're home! Téa!" "It's been so long since I came over to play." "Your late you two." Grandpa said. (What's with everyone calling us "You two"? Can't they think of something else, maybe a little more creative?) "We're home Gramps." Yugi said in return, I would give a reason why we're late, but I don't have one so I'ma staying quiet.
"By the way Téa, you've grown so much. Especially your chest! It's finally 80cm? Wonderful!" Que. nervous laugh from me, who is just standing back and smiling. "By the way Yugi, I heard from Téa. That puzzle, you still haven't given up on that?" "Who's giving up?!" Yugi retorted. "That puzzle is beyond human knowledge, you can't do it." Grandpa continued. "Who says he can't? I believe he can." I said. "By the way, there's a lot of history behind it." Grandpa continued, completely ignoring me, much to my annoyance. (That's happening a lot today, isn't it?) "History?" Téa (or was it Yugi?) asked.
"An excavation team found the Millennium Puzzle... They brought the Pharaoh's box from a giant valley. But, everyone in the excavation died mysteriously. The last person left this behind because he wanted to live. Yami Game." Why does he just randomly say that? "Yugi, this puzzle sounds dangerous." Téa complained. "Yami game? What's that. I like it." He stated, completely ignoring Téa. (Hah! Finally! Someone else is ignored! *does little dance* Ahem, anyways...)
-time skip (deal with it)-
*in own bedroom lying in bed*
I was playing a little game with myself, shuffling my deck and drawing a hand, seeing if one card was different from all the rest, i.e. A spell card with 4 monsters or traps. That kind of stuff. *sigh* I really miss my family. I wonder how much time has passed back home. I wonder if I'll be able to talk with anyone. *picks up phone that has been charging all day* Of course, no signal. Of course there would be no freaking signal! Just when I want to talk to family, THERE IS NO FREAKING SIGNAL! AND NOT BEFORE AND PROBABLY NOT AFTER! Alright, calm down. Did you really expect to be able to talk with them anyway? Look at me, talking to myself again, like a completely normal person. (This last thought brought a smile back to my face) I should probably get to sleep, considering the beating i'm going to take tomorrow.
-the next morning-
"Yugi, Elisa, a moment." that was Ushio, breaking my concentration on my book. Oh no, might as well just get it over with, maybe I can land a few punches at Ushio, probably not though. *sigh*
"Ushio, why do you want to see us?" Yugi asked as Ushio led us behind one of the school buildings. He answered, " Come with me, I'm sure you'll be pleased." No we won't. Bully. Then we saw what we were so "pleased" about, with a little gasp from Yugi and an angry face from me.
"I-it hurts" moaned Tristan, slumped up against the wall next to Joey. We both ran up to them yelling, "Joey! Tristan!" Ushio asked, "What do you think, you two?" while cutting us off.
"The next person who calls me and Yugi 'You two' is getting a kick to the stomach!" I yelled. I am so freaking tired of that! Ignoring me (grrrrrr), Yugi asked "What is this?" "This, Yugi, is what happens when you let Ushio be a body guard. He just goes and beats the crap outta whoever it is he wants, and there's nothing anyone will say or do about it." I said, and then muttered "Until today, that is." And replied nothing when Yugi asked what I had said. "No... Ushio, this is just too horrible!" "Yugi, Elisa...d*mn you...are you satisfied?" "You're wrong, do you think we'd ask for such a horrible thing?" I added,"I, for one, did not ask for this, and neither did Yugi. And I know who just beat up you guys for the heck of it, and I want revenge Ushio!" "Move. We are not done with the punishing. If you want revenge, it's all yours." Ushio then proceeded to kick Joey in the stomach before Yugi and I blocked him. Yugi yelled, "Stop it!" and I just glared. "Well well, you two. Are you covering or these guys? What strange people. Here's your chance to dispel any resentment you have. Punch! Kick!" "Ok, I think i will!" I said right before successfully kicking Ushio in the stomach, which actually didn't seem to bother him too much, although I was still proud that I got something in. "I warned you. Huh?" He then proceeded to grab my ankle, and toss me against the wall. "Elisa!" Was Yugi's response. "Do you think I could do that to my friends?!" "Friends?" Joey muttered. "Yea." Came my reply, and then I had to shut up, I didn't want to mess things up too baldly and refrained from spoiling.
"What a rare guy. Friends you say? They're bullies that exploited you."
"Correct, Ushio, it was you who exploited us." I retorted.
"They weren't bullying me. Joey just wanted me to be a man." Can you guess who that was?
"Man, you're a complete weirdo. Very well. By the way you two, it's time for you to pay up. Total cost of my bodyguard fees are $200 each." Dollars? Not yen? At least I know how much it is. But still way too much. "$200?!" Said a very shocked baby panda, I mean Yugi.
-later at the game shop-
"What'll we do. $200. We don't have that kind of allowance." Yugi said as he was working on the Puzzle. Yep folks, I get an allowance too.
"I'm sure we'll figure something out Yugi. There must be SOMETHING we can do." I was helping by handing him peices. I'm so helpful. Helpy helpy helpy help. "I hope so. Or else we're in deep trouble. How can I be working on the Puzzle at a time like this...? Huh? But I'm doing better than usual. Weird... I feel like crap... I feel like I'm going to solve the Puzzle today. There.. Wow! Perhaps... Perhaps...?! I did it! I did it! All that's left is to put in the last piece and it's done!" Then he held his hand out for the last piece.
"Um, Yugi, there isn't another piece..." -warning: extreme nervousness detected- "What?!" Yugi then frantically searched the box himself. "Okay, okay, it's fine. After all, I-I still have my dignity. Just, just don't start crying. Whatever you do Yugi, just don't start waaaa!" At that last part he started running out towards school. Okay, how did I not expect that?
-small time skip-
I was chasing after Yugi a few yards behind on school grounds "Waaaaaaaaaaahahaaaa I lost my puzzle piece and stuff, waahahaaa!" "Yugi! Wait up! I'm sure it's here!" I was calling out after him. Truth be told, I knew the piece was in the canal, I just didn't know where the canal was. I was close enough to hear what Ushio said when he stopped Yugi, not that I really cared.
"Hmm, then I guess you are going to need some education."Stated Ushio as I got there. Ushio promptly grabbed my shirt and led us to behind a building, when we passed the chain link fence, I looked through it. Huh, so that's where the canal is. When we had stopped, Ushio threw a punch at Yugi, which I blocked...with my face. Trying to quickly recover, I threw a punch at the general area of his chest, not aiming because I couldn't see. Bad idea. Ushio caught the punch and then beat me up. Once he was done with me, he threw me against the wall and started on Yugi. Darn it Joey, where are you?! Barely conscious because of the royal beat down I had just suffered."That's enough for today. Tomorrow we'll show the fruits of your 'education'." and, blackout.
"Ungh. What happened?" -far away sounding- "So... It's Game Time" OMR! GOTTA FIND THEM! I easily found them tied to the building and started watching, Yami yugi (as I call him out of respect in season 0) saw me, but seemed to take no note of me. The cards we already set and I was just in time to see Ushio pull the 10 of diamonds. Then as Yami Yugi pulled a Jack, and said it was a ten. I wonder why he said it was a 10
-time skip-
"Breaking the rules? If you do that, you'll face something terrible." "Quiet!" Yami Yugi leaned to the side to avoid Ushio's oncoming punch. "I knew you couldn't obey the rules." "Fall!" And with that, Ushio broke th rope, and i held my breath as he started to fall, but let it out with releif when I saw him jam the Puzzle into the wall. "I did it! What is this? It's not money!" "Darn right it's not!" I yelled, effectively being ignored. "The Door of Darkness has been opened." Almost squealed when Yami Yugi said that. Such. A. FANGIRL! *singing* And that's the way, uhuh uhuh, I like it, uhuh uhuh. Anyway, as Ushio said that he'd just get wet, I was like "Nope!" And he screamed, so I assume i had perfect timing and he saw the worms. Although, i didn't see a thing. After Ushio fell in, i helped Yami Yugi drag him out. After that, he stopped and asked me how much I'd seen, I said all, and he just gave a "Hmm." Then switched back to Yugi.
-the next morning-
*walking down the hall with Yugi* "My treasure." Yugi. Me, "Yea, still surprised you found the piece, where?" "Joey gave it back, he had taken it." "Oh, well I'm glad he gave it back." "Yea, me too." Then we passed said blond. "Yo Yugi." "Joey! morning!" "Hey Joey! Wassup?" "I'm following your example, I brought my treasure today. Want to see?" "Sure, why not?" Was my reply. Yugi just nodded. "Heh heh, too bad! My treasure... You can see it but you cannot, so I can't show it to you!" "You can see it but you can't?" I asked, "Is it friendship?" Joey replied with a slightly confused face. "Um, yes, actually, it is." We can see it in each other...hut you can't see courage itself, right?" I watched as Yugi, blushed? Idk, and tears welled up in his eyes as he said "Yeah!" Aww, cute little Yugi being cute! And watched with a grin while Joey grimaced and he blushed. "So... Class is starting." And with that, he took off, leaving his shoe behind. So, Yugi picked it up and started chasing after him, me chasing after Yugi.
So, how'd you like it? Let me know if it was good, bad, long, short, just downright crappy, anything. I'll try to post every week, and hopefully it gets better. See ya! :D
