WARNING! CHAPTER CONTAINS INCOMPLETE FAIL-CARD GAME, BUT COMPLETE STORY! READ THIS PRE AN, AND SKIP THE CARD GAME WHERE IT SAYS TO.

I have no idea what I'm doing anymroe, so I will just post this chapter as incomplete so you won't have to wait for it and so I can put up the next one, which is much better. If someone wants me to finish it or help me finish it, then let me know cuz I have no idea what I'm doing here anymore. All I can think of is a werid totally fake card game with cards and strategies I made up. So please skil the part I tell you to. Thank you.

Hi my friends and stuffs!

Sorry for the long wait. I had never written a "dueling" chapter before so I didn't know how to go about doing it. The list is already made and this was on it as number 3, so I had issues with this. But I did it anyway and here it is. Almost all of the cards used are made up because I can't actually do one with real cards. No one know the rules! XD lol.

In the previous chapter, Yami Bakura tortured someone into helping him break the Fourth Wall. In this chapter, he tries another, more... traditional method to break it.

As I said before, this chapter happens as if he never did the previous chapter. Also, each chapter works a bit differently in terms of knowledge and feelings. Like one chapter, Bakura will hate someone, and the next he may not hate him/her anymore.

Now back to the important stuff.

The genre of this chapter is: suspense

WARNING OF THE CHAPTER: CONTAINS FAKE Duel Monsters CARDS, A RANDOM PERSON, LOTS OF SAND AND THIEVES, AND A CARD GAME THAT WAS VERY CRAPILY WRITTEN

Thanks to... Firega, is it?... for giving me inspiration and a little bit of outline for this. Hers was the first fanfic with a dueling scene in it that I read, so that helped. Thanks!

R&R

ENJOY~!

3. Play a Shadow Game next to it.

Now how to go about doing this? wondered Bakura.

He was trying to figure out where to start.

His reasoning told him that if he could do some kind of ritual that could affect something like the fourth wall, then he would.

A ritual that affects things around and in it...

A process that can destroy something...

A Shadow Game maybe?

"Yes!" Bakura shouted aloud. "I will simply play a Shadow Game next to the Wall and make the prize a hole in the Wall near me. Of course the loser gets their soul sent to the Shadow Realm." Bakura smiled evilly.

He went into his card storage box and assembled his Duel Monsters deck based on his mood and how he felt like hurting someone. This time he felt like stealing and weakening things, so he made his strategy based on weakening the opponent's forces and stealing cards, monsters, and strength.

He was done. Now he just needed to find an opponent. He couldn't use a main character like Seto or Joey. And not any of the main minor characters, like Tristan or Duke. Not only would it be boring, but it would also attract too much attention. And he wouldn't even dare try to face Yugi when the stakes were so high. And he had learned from his last duel with him. And

What he needed was an opponent who fulfilled all the following conditions:
One, someone who is good at dueling so defeating them will be satisfying, but not so good that the duel would drag on.
Two, someone isn't an important person to Yugi, so that he won't try to help or stop the game.
Three, someone who doesn't knows enough about Bakura or Shadow magic to know how he dueled and how the Shadow Realm worked, because he wants the element of surprise.
And four, someone who would be willing to duel and not ask questions about the stakes straight on.

He thought about it for two more minutes, trying to think of all the people he (unfortunately) actually knew.

And then he thought of just the right person.

Bakura walked through the streets looking for the building. He knew part of the address, but not enough. Right now he was just roaming around the general area it was supposedly in.

After having walked for ten minutes, he found it. The general history museum. It was a small building compared to other museums in the city.

He walked inside, sneaked by in order to aviod paying admission, then began looking for his target.

The girl he was looking for fit all of the criteria. She always came here every week on the same day, always between 12:00 and 5:00. The chances that she was here now weren't perfect because she only stayed for two hours.

Bakura searched through three possible sections she could be in. He finally found her looking at a desert themed exhibit. This told him what kind of deck she would duel with that day. And he was very familiar with this particular deck of hers.

Her name was Kariana. She and Bakura knew each other as aquaintences, but never really got along. Their relationship was like that of Bakura's with Marik, but with only one-tenth of the friendship. Probably less. She had only seen him duel twice, once against her and once against someone else, and didn't know anything about his Shadow Magic. The deck Bakura was using now wasn't one she had seen him duel with. However he had seen her dueling with all three of her themed decks and had seen several of her strategies with each.

There was no doubt in Bakura's mind that he had the upper hand here. He would win. Definitely.

Bakura walked up to her. She was looking at something behind a rope, so there was no glass for his image to be reflected in. She didn't know Bakura was there.

Bakura tapped one of her shoulders and slid to the other side of her. Kariana wasn't fooled. She looked toward the side Bakura had slid to. Then she noticed him and turned around.

"Bakura?" she asked. "Hey. How you been?" She smiled and waved at him.

"Fine. I've been doing just fine. How about you? You still losing duels with your lame-ass forrest deck?" Bakura laughed at her.

"Shut your damn face! You know I win every time."

"Not against me," he said with a smirk. "Never against me."

"Don't start with that again. That was a draw. You know that."

The match she was refering to was one in which Kariana had used her forrest deck and Bakura had used his occult deck. He had let the match result in a draw, for his own reasons. The biggest one was faking his skill level. She was a good duelist, but not as good as him. He knew that this match would be a victory for him, but Kariana didn't.

"So," she continued. "What do you want from my life? I'm not in the mood for a friendly argument about me being here. Or even a non-friendly one."

Bakura's smirk transformed into an evil smile. "Remember what I said that time? About our next and last duel?"

"What? No I don-" Then she remembered. "Wait... You said that the stakes and skill... something something something. Remind me."

"I said that the next and last time we duel, we will both have improved in skill, have new strategies, and the stakes would be epic. I think the time has come for that duel to occur."

"You mean...?"

"Yup."

"So we can't ask or tell the stakes, reveal or ask for the other's deck type, in order to back out we have to give up our 5 best cards, and you automatically lose if you show or bluff crappy skills. Right?"

"Yup."

Kariana grinned at him. "I accept. Name the place."

Bakura picked an abandoned warehouse for the duel. He knew the place well because he sometimes used it as a hideout. She didn't know it as well.

Bakura decided to have fun with this. "How would you like to screw the rules again?"

She grinned. "Of course."

"Screwing the rules" was a term that they had made up that involved making up a few standards, such as the number of cards a player is allowed to hold at once, the starting life points, and how many cards of each type are allowed to be in play.

The two quickly discussed this, then decided to begin. Bakura went behind a box and took out a spare Duel Disk for her, then threw it at her. She was caught off guard so she barely caught it.

AN: Somehow and for some reason, this next part ended up being written in present tense. I don't know why. But I guess I'll keep it since it just flows well enough as it is. Should be fine I hope.

SKIP THIS PART!

Bakura hands his deck to Kariana for shuffling. Kariana gives Bakura hers so he could do the same.

"This duel should be over fairly quickly, compared to other duels I've seen. But enough with the chit chat. Let's get started."

"Agreed!"

Both of them return the shuffled decks to their respective owners. Then they walk to opposite sides of the designated area.

"Let's duel!" they both say at the same time. They draw a full hand of seven cards.

Both of their life points start at 4000.

Bakura examines his cards. "You go first," he offers.

"I'll gladly do so." She examines her hand. Ah, a good start, she thinks. She has Sandy Salvation, Djeseret the Rogue, Sand Sanctuary, Sandstorm Elemental, Polymerization, Death Scorpion, and Locational Fusion. She can start this game off strong, instead of slowly climbing up.

"First off, I activate the card Locational Fusion! With this, I can combine my Sandy Salvation and Sand Sanctuary Cards and play them both!" She plays all three cards, with Locational Fusion in the middle. The two outer cards come together in the middle and there is

"I activate the special ability of Thief Intruder! His special ability allows him to steal any monster from your hand, drop it off on my side of the field on his way back to my hand, and stays in my hand for 5 turns. However, the monster must be the same level as my Intruder. But that shouldn't be a problem because my spy already told me as much! And I choose your Sandstorm Elemental!" The masked Thief Intruder leaps towards Kariana and steals a card from her hand, then throws it down on Bakura's side of the field, summoning it.

Kariana gasps as her monster is summoned. That card was supposed to be part of her strategy! It is her signature move to devastate the enemy! She was going to summon all of the grainstorm elementals she had, Sand, Dust, and Ash, to create the perfect playing field for her deck. Now it is ruined by one card! That stupid Spy, she thinks. Getting all up in my business! Time to show him. He probably has some strategy going on with his Thieves. I bet it's the Thief King! Time to mess with his plans.

"I play Caravan Destruction!" The named card flips over. "This magic card allows one of my Desert themed monsters to attack two monsters in a set at the same time, but only if all three of them are the same level." She points to the only two monsters on Bakura's side of the field. "I choose your Thief Defender and your Thief Warrior. Now Death Scorpion, attack!"

Bakura growls when his two monsters are destoryed. Those were part of his first strategy! He looks at the Thief King in his hand. Now he can't summon one of his best and favorite cards!

But he still has a second strategy.

Bakura is very pleased that his strategy is working out so far. Now he has the Thief Magician, the Thief Spy, the Thief Warrior, the Thief Defender, and the Thief Intruder right where he wants them. The Thief Disguiser is just a bonus that can be used. The first and second are on the field, the third and fourth are in the graveyard, and the fifth is in his hand. The card he needs to make them all work together is also in his hand. Now everything is almost perfect. He just needs a good bluff. He notices two powerful monsters on the field and one in Kariana's hand, and he knows from before that Polymerization is in her hand as well. All he needs to do is make her play it.

"I summon the Thief Disguiser to the field in attack mode." He does so. "Now I must choose two monsters for it to disguise as. The first one will determine its attack points, and the second will determine its defense points." He points to two monsters on his side of the field. "I pick my [monster ^atk _def] and my [monster _atk ^def]. Then I place one card face down and end my turn." He places the important card down.

Hm... A very strong monster I see, thinks Kariana. It could crush both of my monsters at the same time, causing me massive damage. But if I fuze one of them together with the one in my hand, not only will they be stronger than it, but it also won't do damage twice if that face down card is some kind of boost. This move is so pathetic though. I hope Bakura doesn't think I'm pathetic enough to do this. I hope he hasn't planned for it.

"Okay! My turn! I summon Duststorm Elemental in attack mode!" She does so. She holds up the Polymerization card. "And then I use Polymerization to-"

"Not so fast!" Bakura interrupts.

"Huh?"

"Thief Magician, use your special ability!"

The Thief Magician makes its way to the other side of the field and disappears. Kariana looks around, but can't tell where it has gone. Then as she looks to one side, the Thief Magician reappears on the other side and steals the Polymerization card. Kariana notices and cries, "Hey! How is that possible?! These are holograms, so how could it steal a real and tangible card?"

Bakura smiles at her ignorance. "Have you forgotten that this is a Shadow Game? Like I said, we are in the Shadow Realm, and the monsters are very real here."

"How did I not realize that by now?" Kariana facepalms.

"The Thief Magician can steal a magic card from you just before you activate it and then I can use it for myself. I fuze my two monsters here!" He does so, combining Sandstorm Elemental and Djeseret the Rogue to form Prince of the Sands. "Then my Thief Disguiser's 'fake strength' ability fades away, revealing that the attributes I chose were actually the first's defense points and the second's attack points. It was a trick, as you can tell."

"Oh no!" Kariana cries. "Not that! That was supposed to be mine! Wait... How many of the Thieves have used their special abilities?"

Bakura smiles. "I see you're catching on. The answer is all six of them. Now it's time to put my second strategy into play! Reveal face down card!" The card flips over. "This card is called Tactical Assault Plan of Thieves. When all 5 of the necessary Thief monsters are in one of 3 arrangements on the field and in my graveyard and in my hand, I can have them all attack and act in the way that the location they are in allows." He removes the Thief Warrior and Thief Defender from his graveyard and holds them up. "First, I'll have those in my graveyard do their part. They each attack a monster in your graveyard. But aren't destroyed as long as I give up 100 life points each.

"The Warrior attacks a monster with the same number of attack points and steals half of its defense points, converting them into attack points. That card is then removed from the game." Kariana gasps as the Thief Warrior comes out from the card and flies into her graveyard. Then it comes back out, dragging her Scorpion of Doom with it and destroying it. She sadly puts the card out of play. "Then my Warrior returns to my side of the field in attack mode." The Thief Warrior did so and stood to the right of the Magician.

Bakura continues. "The Defender attacks a monster with the same number of defense points and subtracts half of their attack points from your life points. It steals the other half and adds them to my life points. The monster attacked is also removed from the game." Kariana gasps again as the monster comes out of the card and flies into her graveyard as well. Again, it emerges and a monster is dragged out and destroyed. This time her Poison Sand Serpent. She sadly puts that card out of play. "Then it also goes back to the field." The Thief Defender returns to the field in attack mode and stands next to the Thief Warrior.

"Next I will have the ones on the field do their job. My Thief Magician will now steal the effects of all magic and trap cards in play and use them for itself. Then it will automatically attack all monsters on your side of the field that were under the effects of those cards." The Thief Magician puts his hands out to either side of him. A purple mist comes from the Sand Sanctuary, Sandy Salvation, and Sinkhole Rift cards and into his hands. Then he absorbs the effects of all of them. Finally, the Magician attacks all of Kariana's monsters since they were all affected by Sand Saanctuary and destroys only the ones that were weaker. Kariana cries out.

Bakura hears another cracking sound. He glances next to him and sees more cracks in the Fourth Wall appear when the Shadows dig into it. He had almost forgotten about that. He was having so much fun surprising and scaring Kariana. He can still have fun, but he has to focus.

"Now I use my Thief Spy! His manuever involves looking at the cards in your hand and switching each monster on the field with one in your hand that has one less star. And then he attacks it. Now go my Spy!" The Thief Spy sneaks behind Kariana and peeks at her cards. He looks at the monsters on the field. Then he frowns and heads back to Bakura. He whispers something to him. Bakura frowns. "It appears that you only have one monster in your hand and it is two stars lower than your weakest monster on the field. Oh well. Maybe next time."

Damn it! This guy is too good for me! How did I let this happen? And why did he use the Spy now instead of before? He could have shortened my defenses faster and made me loose more life points. Good thing it didn't work just now anyway... But I'm pretty sure he's not done.

Kariana's life points were at 100. She was sure to lose now!

"And finally, my Thief Intruder! I can use him to go inside your deck and pick any monster that is the same level and summon it to your side of the field automatically in attack mode.

SKIP TO HERE!

"No! How could I lose?!" Kariana fell on her knees.

Bakura knelt down beside her. "Because you are no match for me. That's how."

She looked up at Bakura. "So what did I lose because of this? And what do you win?"

Bakura grinned. "First of all, I win my freedom from this Ra-be-damned show." He pointed to the gaping hole in the Fourth Wall on his side of the field. "Secondly, since this was a Shadow Game, you lose your soul to the darkest of places and become trapped in the most terrifying of nightmares."

Kariana looked terrified. "What?! Nooooo!"

"Too late!" Bakura walked away Kariana from and towards the Fourth Wall. He heard screaming as the Shadow Realm faded away, taking Kariana's soul with it.

Bakura laughed evilly and triumphantly as he stepped through the hole and out the other side of the Fourth Wall.

I hope that wasn't as terrible or confusing to read as it was for me to write.

Stuff in this chapter that isn't mine:
The Polymerization magic card,
And the Fourth Wall.

Stuff that is:
The museum,
My random OC, Kariana,
The Thief monster and magic cards,
And the Desert themed monster and trap and cards.

A note about how things are going to work with this: Each chapter has its own warning and genre. Read it to see what type of chapter it will be. And there will be an end to all of this, there won't just be me having him break it 10 random times and then end. You'll just have to wait and see! Hehehe...

Next chapter: Number 4 or 5 of the list, and Bakura either writes something or watches YGOTAS.

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEE~!
