Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

Thanks for the reviews everyone. I really appreciate your input. Anyways, please read and enjoy this new chapter.

*Literature*

Yugi and Marik seated themselves in the far back as the tardy bell rang. The teacher smiled as he cleaned the board.

"Good afternoon. I hope you all enjoyed your lunch. In just a few minutes, the pre-schoolers from Kawaii School for Tots will arrive. I expect you to read a story to them if you want full credit for the day."

Marik raised his hand, and the teacher sighed.

"No Marik, you cannot read them Johnny Got His Gun."

"But it's a great book!" Marik argued, "they'll learn exactly what happens when you go to war!"

"Marik, I will not allow you to mentally scar these children, at least not until they start attending school here. Read them one of the books from our shelves."

Marik groaned as the door opened. An army of toddlers marched into the room as they looked around curiously at the older students. A bunch of them stopped and stared at Yugi.

"Hey!" a short kid with brown hair exclaimed, "you're Yugi!"

Yugi smiled as Marik rolled his eyes, "that's right. It's nice to meet all of you."

"I'm Jaden Yuki!" the toddler introduced himself, "and I'm gonna be the next King of Games!"

"Let's hope not," Yami muttered to Yugi. Yugi nodded.

"Alright children," the teacher announced, "go to your assigned reading buddies as I go outside for a smoke."

*P.E.*

"Alright kids, my name is Raphael. I will be subbing for this class since the gym teacher tried jumping off a cliff."

Kaiba, Joey, Weevil, and Rex stared at Dartz's former minion in disbelief.

"Today we will be practicing wrestling," Raphael continued, "For my amusement; I will allow you challenge whoever you wish."

"I challenge Rich Boy!" Joey yelled as he raised his hand.

"Wheeler," Kaiba snarled, "I hardly think you'd want me to snap your spinal cord in half. Go bug someone else!"

"HA!" Joey exclaimed, "I knew you'd be too scared to face me!"

Kaiba glared as he turned to face Joey. He wore his classic 'I'll-kill-you' look.

"You should've thought twice before saying that!" Kaiba yelled, "now you're gonna get it!"

"This should be fun," Raphael muttered, "Raptor! Go make us some popcorn!"

*Arcade*

Noah's next challenger was a strange man wearing a red suit, top hat, and a mask over his face.

"Wait a minute," the man asked, "aren't you Kaiba's brother?"

"Yeah, who are you supposed to be?" Noah asked.

"I'm Arkana, the magician," he replied, "I used to do all kinds of magic shows. But then, I was caught in an explosion, and that is why I wear this mask."

"Oh come on," Noah asked, not quite believing him, "how bad could your face--"

Noah screamed like a girl as Arkana removed his mask. Arkana frowned and placed the mask back on. Noah ran off and threw up in the corner.

"Are you quite finished?" Arkana asked impatiently.

Noah responded by throwing up some more.

*Back in Literature*

A group of kids surrounded Marik in awe as he finished up his story.

"And then, I opened the letter. It was from Vivian. She said she had made it up the mountain. And someday I would too."

Marik closed the book as the kids' eyes twitched.

"That's it!?" toddler Chazz asked, "she just gave up hiking up the mountain halfway through!?"

"How does it end?" toddler Alexis asked.

Marik laughed, and replied with a sick grin, "IT DOESN'T!!!"

Everyone gasped as he continued to laugh. The teacher walked over and grabbed the book from Marik's grasp.

"Marik!" he yelled, "if I had known you were going to read them Halfway to the Sky, I would've just let you read Johnny Got His Gun!"

"I don't see what the difference is," little Chazz mumbled.

Meanwhile, at Yugi's group; he was reading Cinderella. Jaden and the other kids stared in awe and often raised their hands to ask questions.

"Yes Jaden?" Yugi sighed.

"Tell us how you beat Kaiba in the Battle City finals!" he demanded.

Yugi tried to get back to reading the story, but the other kids were for more interested in Yugi's past dueling experiences.

"Children," Yugi said calmly, "I know dueling is a lot more interesting than school, but this stuff is important."

"Blah blah blah," Jaden commented, "When I get older, I'm gonna go to a school that's all about dueling!"

"Yeah," Yami muttered to Yugi, "we'll see how far he gets in the career field with a Dueling Diploma. Can he say 'McDonalds'?"

*History*

The class stared at Ishizu as she looked through a box of videos.

"Now class," she said rummaging through the tapes, "I was going to give you a first hand experience of the ancient conquests of Alexander the Great, but since my Necklace has been stolen, we're just going to watch a crappy reenactment."

Duke stared at Miho, who was drooling and appeared to be in a hypnotized state.

"Why are you drooling?" Duke asked her, "did someone ask you what two plus two was again?"

Tristan looked over at the two from the back of the room. He decided it was time to disable his Rod. Soon, Miho returned to her somewhat more intelligent state. She looked around the room in confusion.

"Hello! Earth to Miho!" Duke yelled.

"I'm sorry, what?" she asked.

"Are you alright?" Duke asked with concern.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so," she responded, "when did we get here?"

Suddenly, Tristan noticed something glowing from inside his shirt. He looked down and noticed the Millennium Ring was lit up.

"Um, Ms. Ishtar," Tristan asked as he raised his hand, "can I use the restroom?"

"Say it in Arabic please," Ishizu replied.

"Um, ayar…'ana…..**** YOU!" Tristan yelled as he ran out of the room.

Tristan stood out in the hallway and pulled out the Millennium Ring. The pointers were lit up and pointed west.

"Yes!" Tristan hissed as he took off running, "items, here I come!"

*Back in P.E.*

Everyone stood around and stared at Kaiba and Joey and they rolled around on the ground. Kaiba sat on top of Joey and had him by the throat as Joey grabbed and pulled on a lock of Kaiba's hair. Raphael laughed maniacally as he shoved popcorn into his mouth.

"Raptor!" he ordered as he held out an empty class, "get me more Mountain Dew!"

"I'm putting this on Youtube!" Weevil said as he pulled out his cell phone.

The kid began taking footage as Kaiba and Joey punched each other in the face and stomach. Just then, the gym door flew open. Everyone turned and stared as Mai entered the room. She froze at the sight of her friend fighting with his rival in such a violent manner.

"Dear God!" she screamed as she rushed to the scene, "STOP!"

She turned to face Raphael and glared at him, "You're letting them fight like this!?"

"They've got a lot of issues with each other, and they need to get it out of their systems," Raphael replied carelessly as he grabbed more soda from Rex.

"BUT THEY'LL KILL EACH OTHER!" Mai protested.

"What's your point?" Raphael asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mai growled, and attempted to pull Joey and Kaiba apart herself. Kaiba got mad and attempted to hit her; only to be hit in the groin by Joey. Kaiba cursed and rolled onto the floor as he growled and clutched onto his privates.

"Serves you right moneybags!" Joey snarled as Mai helped him up, "thanks again Mai."

"No problem. Just wait until I tell the principal about this," she said as she turned to face Raphael.

"Go ahead," Raphael said with a grin, "but keep in mind that Dartz and I go way back. He'll get me out of this mess!"

"Fine then!" Mai snapped, "but in the meantime, Joey and I will be talking with the principal personally!"

*Back in Literature*

"Alright," the teacher announced, "it's snack time!"

Both the teenagers and the toddlers cheered and rushed over to the table.

"HEY! Only three cookies each!" the teacher yelled as everyone grabbed what they could get, "Are you even listening to me!?"

Marik pushed to the front, knocking over several kids.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" he yelled as he grabbed an armful of cookies.

He ran back to his desk, trying to hide the fact that he had over ten cookies. Yugi rolled his eyes and got the kids their plates for them. Yami appeared beside of him as he began to fix his own plate.

"No no, not three," Yami corrected, "six!"

"Huh?" Yugi asked as he turned to face his invisible Yami.

"He said three a piece, and there's two of us," Yami explained.

"Yeah, but he doesn't even know you exist. Besides, you don't even have a stomach. Three is fine."

The toddlers looked at Yugi as he argued with the invisible pharaoh.

"I think he might be crazy," little Chazz observed.

"HE IS NOT!" little Jaden argued.

Then, his millennium puzzle lit up. A blinding light suddenly surrounded Yugi as the kids stared in awe and backed away.

"YU-GI-OH!" Yugi screamed.

Then, Yugi transformed into Yami. Yami smiled and grabbed six cookies, then went to his seat and sat down.

"HEY!" Yugi yelled, "THAT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Relax," Yami said as he shoved a cookie into his mouth, "you can have the other three when I'm done!"

The toddlers grabbed their treats, but continued to stare at the pharaoh.

"Okay," young Jaden admitted to Chazz, "you might be right."

*In the Halls*

Tristan walked around the vacant campus as he continued to follow the Millennium Ring. It had now taken him to the other side of campus, near the library. Suddenly, he looked up and noticed someone approaching him.

"Hey!" Shadi yelled, "what are you doing here? Where is your pass!?"

Tristan got a better look at him, and noticed the Millennium Key around his neck. Suddenly, Shadi noticed that he was holding the Millennium Ring.

"Young man, where did you get that!?" he asked.

Shadi began to look nervous as Tristan approached him with a malicious grin.

"Let me get to the point," Tristan said, "you have an Item, and I want it. You can give it to me, or I can send you to the Shadow Realm!"

"You're crazy!" Shadi argued, "it'll take more than your Ring to intimidate me!"

Tristan unbuttoned his school jacket and revealed the other items. Shadi's eyes grew large as Tristan pulled out the Rod.

"And now, I am intimidated!" Shadi said as he began to sweat.

"Now then," Tristan said with a grin, "hand it over."

"I don't think so!" Shadi protested, "you will have to duel me if you wish to have my items."

"You have two!?" Tristan asked, "this is awesome! After I beat you, I just have to get the Puzzle!"

"Oh, I can assure you young man, that I will be the victor in this duel," Shadi said as his Key lit up.

Suddenly, he and Tristan were transported to the Shadow Realm. The floor was surrounded by a thick fog and darkness was everywhere around them. Tristan looked around as evil spirits floated around them.

"This is where I've been sending people!?" Tristan asked as Shadi nodded, "Oh man, now I feel like a jerk!"

"Do you still wish to duel me?" Shadi asked as he pulled out a deck of cards. Tristan nodded.

"Alright then," he announced, "let the games begin!"

A/N: Tristan just doesn't know when to quit, does he? To fully understand the Halfway to the Sky and Johnny Got His Gun jokes, you would've had to have read the books. Basically the characters in those books go through total hell and there is no real closure at the end; causing frustration to the reader. As for the Yu-Gi-Oh GX cross-over, I just couldn't resist! Tell me what you thought about this chapter and the story thus far.
