Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh
Thank you to everyone who reviewed, added alerts, favorited, and read my story. This has certainly been a fun fic to write; I'm sad to end it so soon…alright, so a year isn't exactly a short time span, but this story is like a child to me *sobs*. Anyway, after I finish up 'Family Secrets' I hope to start on my next Yu-Gi-Oh fic: In My Rival's Shoes (see my profile page for more info on that). I hope you all enjoy this new, and final chapter.
*In the Side Lines*
The Okinawa audience clapped after their team had managed to kick the ball into the Dominoes goal post. The Dominoes audience groaned as the scored board showed the Shrews ahead of them. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Both the Okinawa and Dominoes players began looking around as they felt the ground shake below them. The audience gasped as the Thief Bakura stared in disbelief from the sidelines.
"My shadow magic is sensing the presence of the pharaoh on the field," he muttered, "What could this mean?"
He looked up towards the stands as he heard a familiar laughter. He saw Yami sitting close to the railing with a hot dog.
"If you haven't figured it out already, I've cursed your players," the Yami Yugi taunted, "I will only remove it if you lift the curse you placed on the Domino team."
"I will do no such thing!" the thief hissed as he clenched his fists.
Yami laughed as he took another bite of his snack, "Then I hope you're willing to accept a stale-mate."
The thief growled as he turned his attention back to the field, "We'll see about that. I will simply unleash the full force of the Shadow Realm unto this game!"
*Out on the Field*
"Well then," Kemo commented over the intercoms, "It seems like we had a small earthquake just now---no biggie. I just hope somebody scores a point sometime tonight---Speak of the devil!"
The Domino audience cheered as a small boy with his purple hair pulled back into a ponytail led the ball towards the Okinawa's goal post.
"Come on Leon!" Zigfried cheered from the sidelines, "Do 'zis for da fatherland!"
As the boy brought the ball closer and closer towards the Okinawa goal post, the ground suddenly began to shake again. Leon screamed as the ground opened up from beneath him and swallowed him and the ball whole. The Domino audience screamed and began pacing around as the Okinawa audience merely moaned.
"LET'S GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE!" Kemo yelled over the intercoms.
Just then, the sky turned black and red, misty clouds began appearing randomly. Yami gasped as the Domino audience continued to scream in horror; the Okinawa audience put their umbrellas away and smiled. Suddenly, they could hear the Thief Bakura cackle over the intercoms.
"You won't be going anywhere!" he hissed, "I have brought this game to the Shadow Realm! You will all be stuck here until the game comes to an end!"
"What's going on?" Weevil asked Mokuba as he rubbed the bandages over his eyes.
"The usual," Mokuba sighed as he kicked the ground.
"Now then," the thief continued to announce, "Please resume the game, and don't disappoint me by dying too early; I do want to enjoy this!"
*Back in the Stands*
Kaiba growled as he clenched his fists, "That son of a bitch is gonna pay! I swear, if Mokuba gets a single scratch on him---"
"What are ya gonna do?" Joey asked as he picked up another bag of popcorn, "Bakura's juiced up with ancient magic, if you go up against him he could kill ya….on second thought, go ahead and try it; you might get lucky!"
Kaiba growled and turned away from him.
"This is terrible!" Yugi exclaimed as he turned to face Yami, "What are we gonna do now?"
"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do," the former pharaoh answered with a sigh, "Once a game is taken to the Shadow Realm, the only way back is to let the game play out until someone wins…I just hope he doesn't decide to trap the losers here."
"Yeah," Yugi agreed as he looked across the field, "But I don't think the Okinawas would mind it too much."
Yami looked over at the Okinawa audience and saw them slitting their wrists. Yugi and Yami shuddered as they turned their attention back to the game.
*Back on the Field*
The referee tossed a new ball out onto the field and blew on his whistle. An Okinawa player kicked it and began taking it towards the Domino goal post. As he continued running, he suddenly combusted into flames. Mokuba took the ball away as the boy fell flat onto his face.
*Back in the Stands*
Yugi turned to face his yami with disgust.
"Fire, Yami?" he asked as he crossed his arms.
Yami crossed his arms in defensive, "Hey, you didn't complain when I used it to save Tea from the Burger World burglar."
"This game is boring!" Joey whined, "Why couldn't we have had something cooler, like dueling on motorcycles?"
"Dueling on motorcycles?" Kaiba asked as he raised an eyebrow, "That has got to be the most retarded thing I ever heard of! Dueling on motorcycles, that'll be the day!"
"Oou!" Kemo announced, "It looks like one of the Okinawa players tripped Weevil Underwood! The Domino team is being allowed a penalty kick!"
The thief Bakura growled as he crossed his arms, "Curses! I'm not allowed to interfere with penalty kicks!"
*Back on the Field*
The referee placed the ball in front of Weevil as he reached out both his arms to feel something. Mokuba called out to attempt to guide the now blind boy.
"Weevil, the ball is now in front of you!"
"Okay," he muttered, "I hope I make it!"
Everyone grew silent in anticipation (and fear) as Weevil took a step back. He then thrust his right leg upon the ball, sending it flying into the Okinawa goal post. The Domino crowd went wild as Weevil stumbled around.
"The Dominoes have just scored their first point!" Kemo yelled over the intercom.
"I-I did it!?" Weevil asked as Mokuba gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"You sure did!" Mokuba cheered.
"My mother will be so proud!" Weevil said with a smile as he attempted to cry; causing blood to pour onto the bandages instead of tears.
*Back in the Stands*
"It's about time," Duke grumbled as he crossed his arms, "This match has been going on for almost an hour now."
"Hey, just be glad we finally scored a point!" Tristan said as he slapped him on the back of the head.
"Well then, I guess we've got a shot after all," Yugi said as Yami continued watching the game.
Yami and the other Dominoes flinched as an Okinawa player fell down on his back. The referee blew on his whistle as Marik pouted.
"Now why did Marik have to go and do that!?" Joey whined, "Now the Okinawas are gonna get a point!"
The Dominoes audience groaned as they watched the referee place the ball in front of an Okinawas player. He kicked the ball and sent it straight into the Dominoes goal post.
"And now the Okinawas are in the lead again!" Kemo announced.
The Dominoes audience booed Marik as he gave them the finger.
"Go yiff yourselves!" he yelled as he went back to his position.
Yugi and Yami groaned as they sat back down.
"This sucks," Yugi mumbled, "What if we lose?"
"I don't know," Yami sighed as he crossed his arms and legs, "I just hope that the losing audience doesn't get trapped here too."
The duo looked over at the other end of the Dominoes stand as they heard the thief Bakura yelling at them. He then held up a sign and laughed.
"What's it say?" Yugi asked as Yami pulled out some binoculars.
"You and your boyfriend are dead---What!? HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
Yugi attempted to calm the former pharaoh down as he stood up and started cussing the thief out.
"HOW WOULD YOU LIKE MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS YOU ANCIENT---"
"And it looks like young Mokuba Kaiba has scored a point!" Kemo screamed over the intercom, "The Dominoes and Okinawas are now tied!"
The Domino audience cheered madly as Yugi and Yami turned their attention back to the field. The thief Bakura spit out his cola in disgust.
"WHAT!?" he exclaimed, "How did that little brat survive!?"
"Maybe if you hadn't been so busy harassing the pharaoh you would've seen him with the ball," Marik said to him from the sidelines.
"HEY!" Mokuba yelled at the blonde Egyptian from across the field, "Whose side are you on!?"
Yami gasped as he clapped his hands together.
"That's it!" he exclaimed as Yugi raised an eyebrow.
"What's it?" he asked.
Yami grinned as he turned to face him, "Bakura controls the curse! If we can distract him, we may be able to keep the curse from working on our players!"
Yugi smiled as he jumped onto his feet, "That's wonderful! But how are we going to do that?"
The duo suddenly turned their attention to the sidelines as they saw the Okinawa cheerleaders harassing Tea and the other Domino cheerleaders.
"Go Shrews, go! Kill those f***ing Domi-Hoes! Rip out their guts and kick their butts. Win team, win!"
Yami smiled and leaned over the railings next to Tea.
"Hey Tea," he called.
The brunette jumped as she turned to face him. She sighed in relief and put her pom-pom over her chest.
"Yugi, you scared me!" she exclaimed.
"Tea, I need you to do me a favor, but it may result in severe…consequences on your part."
"What do you need?" she asked as a worried look overtook her face.
"I need you to start a fight with the Okinawa cheerleaders," he answered.
Tea bit her lip as she looked at the ground, "I…I don't know…"
Her and the other Domino cheerleaders turned around as they heard the Shrews start up again.
"Tea is a slut! She has a big, fat butt! When boys get a look at her, they think she's a mutt!"
Tea growled loudly as she clenched her fists, "THAT DOES IT!"
*Back on the Field*
The thief and the rest of the audience turned their attention to the sidelines as they saw Tea running over to the Okinawa side. Tea swung her right arm and jabbed the head girl in the face. The other five girls growled and jumped on her and began punching.
"HOLY RA!" the thief exclaimed, "Now this is what I call entertainment!"
"Now Mokuba!" Yami yelled at the small boy.
The young Kaiba jumped and began looking around for the ball. It was currently being led to the Domino goal post by a tall goth kid with long, black hair. As the boy continued kicking the boy, Mokuba quickly swooped in and began taking it towards the Okinawa goal post.
The Okinawa boy growled loudly and clenched his fists. Mokuba ran faster as he heard the angry goth kid quickly catching up with him.
"Time is almost up folks!" Kemo announced over the intercom, "These next few minutes will determine the winner of tonight's game!"
The Dominoes audience watched in anticipation as the theif Bakura continued to laugh over Tea being mauled by the vicious cheerleaders. Mokuba ran faster and faster as the boy gained in on him. Mokuba quickly kicked the ball, sending it flying towards the Okinawa goal post. The thief Bakura heard the Domino audience cheering and turned his attention back to the game. His eyes grew large as he began screaming in rage. Before the thief had a single chance to react, the ball hit the back of the goal net.
The score board beeped as the Dominoes audience went wild. The Okinawas groaned as they slouched back in their seats. Duke and Tristan started dancing as Joey threw his popcorn in the air cheering. Yugi and Yami high-fived as the Dominoes players lifted Mokuba up to cheer him.
"And the Dominoes have won the game!" Kemo announced, "Now maybe Bakura will let us go!"
The thief Bakura growled and shook with rage as Yami approached him with his right arm extended out.
"A deal's a deal," he said as he looked down on the thief, "Give me the items and let us all go."
"No way!" the thief yelled, "If you want these items, you'll have to pry them from my cold, dead---"
"THERE HE IS!" they heard a female yell. Yami and the thief turned around to face the Okinawa cheerleaders, "HE'S THE ONE THAT TRAPPED US HERE! LET'S GET HIM!"
The thief screamed as the six girls jumped on him. Yami and Yugi stood back and watched as the girls punched, bit, and kicked him. After a few minutes, the girls stopped and walked away. The thief had some of his hair ripped out, his clothes were tattered, and he was bleeding everywhere.
"Here," he groaned as he pulled the Items out of his jacket, "Take them and go!"
Yami smiled and Yugi laughed in joy.
"Alright partner," Yami said to his hikari as he put the Items in his back-pack, "Let's go home."
People started to leave the stands as the red mist disappeared and the sky returned to its natural state. The Millennium Puzzle glowed as Yugi took over his body once more. He smiled as his friends approached him with grins.
"Man oh man, that was one intense game!" Joey exclaimed as he clutched his soda.
"Check it out!" Mai exclaimed as she and Serenity held onto a piece of black fabric, "We got a souvenir from one of the Okinawa hotties!"
"SERENITY!" Joey scolded as she laughed and blushed slightly.
"I got mister Kaiba's soda!" Miho exclaimed as she slurped a bit of it, "Now his saliva that was on this straw is in me!"
"That's disgusting!" Tristan exclaimed as he took a step back, "What the hell is wrong with you!?"
Yugi and his friends turned around and saw Tea walking by. She moaned in pain as she held onto her side and dragged her bloody, left leg along.
"Thanks for your help Tea," Yugi said meekly as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm sorry you got hurt."
Tea smiled slightly, revealing that several of her teeth were missing, "That's what friends are for."
"Alright guys, let's go home!" Duke exclaimed as he pulled out his car keys, "I'll drive us!"
The gang cheered as they walked (with Tea limping) out to the parking lot. They all sighed in relief as they realized that their crazy day had at last come to an end.
A/N:There you go, I managed to finish this fic exactly one year since I first published it. Man, a lot sure has happened over this past year; I was hoping that I'd have more fics done by now.
