Sorry about the wait. I've been busy with school work. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 10
First Duel
Tuesday Afternoon
Duelist Kingdom
Tea sat under a tree and kept her eyes on Yugi when he was talking to Mr. Mouto and Tom. I have this weird feeling that the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle is not really gone. Thought Tea. Yugi turns his head and smiles at Tea does the same in return. She looks down. Or maybe I'm over worrying about the whole thing. I guess being back in Duelist Kingdom can make you nervous. Thought Tea. "Hey Tea!" Said Yugi. "Oh Yugi hey." Said Tea. She looks up at Yugi. "Are you okay?" Asked Yugi. Tea gently sighs. "Yeah I'm fine." Answer Tea. Yugi tries to say something, but is interrupted. "Hey let's go find some duelists." Said Tea. She got up and walks over to where Mr. Mouto and Tom are. Yugi gently sighs and walks with her. Tea must be confused from the Kiaba incident got to be careful. Thought Yugi.
"Hey Bakura why are we going away from the duelists?" Asked Duke. Duke and Jordan follow Bakura to the other side of the island near the cliff. "I just want to set up and show you guys something." Said Bakura. I wonder what could he want to show us? Thought Jordan. "Is it a strategy on getting into the castle?" Asked Jordan. Bakura stops walking and reaches into his bag. "You could say that." Said Bakura. Duke and Jordan stop behind Bakura. "What is it you're looking for?" Asked Duke. "You both will find it quite interesting." Said Bakura. He pulls out the Millennium Ring out of his backpack. "I'm sorry, but I have to do this to you chaps." Said Bakura. He turns around with the Millennium Ring and both Jordan and Duke gasp as the ring glows brighter.
Tea, Yugi, Tom, and Mr. Mouto walk around for any duelists. Tea turns and spots Mai. "Mai hey Mai!" Yelled Tea. She runs to where Mai is. Mai sits under a tree and looks up and sees Tea running straight to her. Mai was about to run, but Macko grab her arm along with Serenity. "Huh Serenity." Said Tea. "Hey Tea." Said Serenity. Serenity gave Tea a small hug and then broke a way. "What are you doing here?" Asked Tea. "I came with Mai and Macko." Said Serenity. "More like she and Macko made me come." Said Mai. "To be honest I really didn't want to come." Said Mai. "But we convince her." Said Serenity. "And so far we've won eight star chips." Said Serenity. Yugi, Tom, and Mr. Mouto finally made it to the tree. "Wow just two more star chips and you get access into Pegasus's Castle." Said Yugi. "I have an idea how about a duel?" Said Macko. He pulls out his cards. "I don't think so hun." Said Mai. "Come on Mai." Said Serenity. "It'll make you feel better." Said Serenity. "And we'll only bet four." Said Macko. "Please." Said Serenity. Mai just sigh and nods her head. She stands up and looks up at Yugi, Tea, Mr. Mouto, and Tom. "Are you guys up to this?" Asked Mai. Tea, Mr. Mouto, and Tom nodded. "Okay let's duel!" Shouted Serenity and Macko.
"Aww man we lost." Said Joey. He put his hands to his face along with Tristan and Destiny. "I'm so sorry this was my very first duel." Said Destiny. "That was a good duel Merick, Ishizu, and Odion." Said Joey. "Thank you Joey we had a lot of practice." Said Merick. "I guess we better head for where the boats are." Said Tristan. "Yeah." Said Destiny. Joey, Tristan, and Destiny got together heading for the docks. "Smell ya later then Merick, Odion, and Ishizu." Said Joey. "Bye." Said Destiny and Tristan. Merick took out the Millennium Rod and Ishizu took out the necklace. "Hey Joey you forgot something." Said Merick. Joey, Destiny, and Tristan turn around and gasp from a bright light.
Tea, Mr. Mouto, and Tom got on the duelists platform. Yugi had to watch from the side since he was not allowed to duel. "Hey Mai how come you came. I mean it sounds like you really don't want to be here." Said Yugi. "Serenity convinced me to come." Said Mai. "She saw me in her side of the town and I got a letter from my apartment and Macko also came along when we were at a restaurant." Answer Mai. Mai looks off to the side. "I really did not want to come." Said Mai. "But we thought it would be good for her to come." Said Serenity. "All right I call out Harpie lady in attack mode and end my turn!" Yelled Mai. Tea look down at her hand and her eyes went wide. She held one of the Egyptian god cards. She looks down at Yugi. Yugi just nods his head. "I'm not sure if I should play this card it's not mine and I forgot to give it back." Said Tea. "Just go on and play the card." Said Mai. Tea nods and takes the card. "I play Obelisk the Tormenter! Obelisk destroy there life points!" Yelled Tea. Mai, Serenity, and Macko's life points went all the way down to zero leaving them shock. Tea's group had gain four star chips giving Tea's group six total. Tea, Tom, Yugi, and Mr. Mouto turn to leave until Mai grabbed Tea's arm. "Tea." Whisper Mai. "What is it Mai?" Asked Tea. In a whisper. Mai pulled out at duel monster card and hand it to Tea. "Tea something does not feel right and did you notice how quiet it is?" Asked Mai. Tea listen and realize it was way too quiet. Tea look down at the card and turn it over. It was the Dark Witch. Hey I've a card just like this in my deck. Thought Tea. "What is this for?" Asked Tea. "I feel like I need to give you this and that you may need it. Just don't tell anyone Tea and I do mean anyone." Said Mai. Tea nods her head and turns to follow her group. I wonder what Mai meant by that? Thought Tea. "Hey Tea!" Shouted Yugi. "Yes Yugi." Said Tea. "What did Mai say to you?" Asked Yugi. "She just wanted to know where Joey was." Answer Tea. Odd I would never usually lie to Yugi. Thought Tea.
Tuesday Night
"Hey Mai!" Shouted Serenity. "What is it Serenity?" Asked Mai. Both girls were at the fire cooking their fish that Macko caught. Macko went to gather more fire wood. "What did you tell Tea?" Asked Serenity. Mai looks down. "Why are you so worried about what I told her?" Asked Mai. "Well it seem like you were uneasy when you were around them and I know it isn't because of my brother." Said Serenity. "This may sound silly Serenity, but I have this funny feeling that something-"I have return with more fire food and a strategy on how to get more star chips!" Yelled Macko. Both girls jumped when Macko interrupted the conversation. "I'll explain later." Said Mai. Serenity just nods her head and turns to smile at Macko. Mai turns and puts a fake smile on her face.
Tea, Yugi, Tom, and Mr. Mouto all made up camp. Tea and Tom were both fast asleep. Yugi and Mr. Mouto were wide awake. "I'm glad to have the Egyptian God Cards back into my deck." Said Yugi. He started to change into Atem. "I guess that form can't last long." Said Simon. Atem shook his head. "No that is why I can't show Tea my true self just yet." Said Atem. Atem came over to where Tea was and leans down close to her face. He moves a piece of hair from her face. Tea gently moves in her sleeping bag from the touch and turns over. Atem removes his jacket and places it over on Tea. He notices that she is a little cold. "Pharaoh do you love this girl?" Asked Mr. Mouto. "Simon I really am unsure, but I know she hates me after we kiss." Said Atem. "Now will you please excuse me I'm going for a little walk." Said Atem. Simon nods his head and gets out his sleeping bag and goes to sleep.
I'm sorry again about the wait. I'll update chapter 11 as soon as I can.
