Me: And we are back with another chapter! Woot!(I'm, changing a bit of who is who in the admin, instead of using Shikiira's name. Oh and sorry for the seriously late post, I had an extreme writers block. Oh and for those who read Yugioh Vampire, please hold on for a while longer, as I said in news flash post, I'll get this story to chapter 10 before returning to that one.)
Yugi: Yay, and we get to see Shikiira duel this time, right?
Shikiira: exactly, and ya finally get to see my main deck!
Joey: Say, isn't your deck full of Dragon types?
Shikiira: Mostly, it has some other types as well just to keep balance. Now lets get on with the chapter. Yami!
Yami: Right! Remember that the Admin doesn't own any part of Yugioh, only an OC.
Me: And with that said...
All in unison: LETS ROLL!
Chapter 7
Taking a Stand! I Wont Back Down!
We were all now walking out of the forest, leaving Weevil behind to mope and pout. What he pulled wasn't cool. He was a liar and a cheat, not to mention a cry baby. I'm just glad that's over with and we won't be seeing the beetle-head any time soon.
When we left, Mai also took her own way, to find some of her own duels. She may seem like a jerk, but to me she's not all that bad. She's just a bit of a, how do I put this, a bit of a doubter I guess, along with being a bit over confident. The over confidence part I could tell from the first sight. When she said " I'll crush you all eventually." she said it all right then and there that she was full of herself. But when she talks to me it's like we're on equal ground. How can I see that? She asked if my hair color was natural. If she was really as full of it as she seemed, she could have cared less if my hair was natural or not.
While we walked the guys were being, well, guys. Tristan was teasing Joey as usual, so he was getting mad and was trying to get him back. Tea would sweat drop as she watched and at some point tried to control them to keep them from ripping each others throats out. Me, well, I just watched it all sweat dropping too, but laughing lightly at it all.
Yugi, who was in control now, was walking with me a bit behind them watching as well. I wonder how long he's put up with these three. He's such a sweet guy and it's hard to imagine what he goes through, especially sense his grandfather has had his soul taken away. Though, I guess I sort of know the feeling of losing some one close. Heck, I go through it almost all the time. I wonder if he has the same opinion of me, considering he knows what happened. In fact he's the only one I told in the group.
"Shikiira?" My head perks at the sound of my name and I turn to the tri-haired colored boy who was walking along side me. "Yeah, what is it?" I ask wondering what he wanted to say."Well I've been meaning to ask..." He began as he started fiddling with his Puzzle." Well ya know how Pegasus mentioned you had a Millennium item? I was wondering what item you have, he said there was seven." Oh so that's it, that's what he wanted to know.
I then gesture to the Talisman that hung from the dark blue belt choker on my neck. "Well, the Millennium item I have is the Millennium Talisman, but from what Pegasus told me, it was never mentioned in the scriptures, and that it's not one of the main 7." Yugi's eye's widen as he cocked his head to the side." Not being mention in the scriptures? Could that mean there's something real special about it that isn't suppose to be known?"
I shake my head." It really doesn't seem to hide any real power at all. It's only able to sense other items and protect me from shadow magic. That's why I didn't freeze up like the others when you a Pegasus dueled."He nodded, taking the information in. He put a finger to his chin, like he was thinking about something. His eyes grew a bit for a moment until he looked me again."Say, how come you know so much anyway? Back when I dueled Pegasus, he said you knew a lot about the items, but you said you couldn't explain at the time. What was it that you were going to explain?"
Shoot, I was hoping he wouldn't ask so soon. If I told him now he'd probably think I was crazy or something. Though, a lot of crazy things have happened already. But still, it's not the time to tell him yet. I had to think of what to say fast without lying.
"Shikiira, Yugi, come on! You're falling behind!" I hear Joey shout waving to us. Thank you Joey! I turn to Yugi and give him a sheepish smile."Sorry Yugi, tell you some other time, alright?" He seemed slightly disappointed but smiled and nodded."Yeah, sure okay."
I then sprinted up to the others.
Yugi stared after me for a moment before catching up as well but with many things still on his mind. Just who are you, Shikiira?
Again, we were walking, but this time we were caught up with the others. Every one was now talking about duel monsters, Joey and Yugi mostly, and Tristan was making comments here an there about everything they said. Tea and I were just walking side by side next to them, smiling away and listening on.
Tea never seemed to be the dueling type. She liked the game and had a deck of her own though. I guess she only played for the fun of it. I also haven't seen Tristan duel before. I'm not sure if he even has a deck. He likes the game though, that I can tell. Before Joey dueled for fun too, of course, now he's dueling to help Yugi and save his sister. Yugi duels for the people around him, now doing it for his grandpa.
Everyone here has a reason for dueling. I wonder what my reason is. I've have also dueled for fun. I also duel to help Yugi and the Pharaoh, but... I feel like there's something more to dueling for me. That there's a certain purpose that I don't know. That I don't have it just in dueling. I've always wondered if there was more to me than I know. My destiny is to help the pharaoh, but that is only a path I've chosen. What's my purpose? What's the one thing I live for?
"Ok, bring 'em on."Says Joey, bringing me out of my thoughts." I'm itchin' to duel and I'm, takin' on the next player we see!" He then took off to look around. He seems pretty eager. I hope all the training Mr Muto gave him pays off.
"You know," Says Tea, "I'm not sure Joey's up for this."
"Yeah." Tristan agrees " Yeah, there are tournament level players here."
" That may be." I say. " But he can't advance if he doesn't duel anyone. You can't expect everything to be easy. Everything has some sort of challenge you have to pass, for Joey, beating high ranked duelists is one of them."
" I agree." Says Yugi." After all, Joey's learned from the best. I'm sure he'll be able to pull it off."
"Here I stand! The next duel monsters champion!" Joey yells standing on a cliff.
Every one sweat drops. Oh Yugi better be right. Joey may have been taught a few things, but oh Ra he's a knuckle-head.
"Huh, he needs a reality check." Tea groans.
"Guess he's about as smart as he looks." Tristan deadpans.
I sigh. This is going to be a long tournament.
At that moment, we hear cheering, and turn to see the entire area is full of arenas and duelists."Look there" says Tea pointing in the direction we turned to."Duel Monster arenas!" Tristan exclaims. "There are so many and they're everywhere!" I say, my eyes big and my smile growing."You said it!" Says Yugi."Lots of dueling going on."
"Right! I'm goin' in!" Joey declares, his fists clenched and his expression pumped." Are you sure want to do this? If you lose you give up your only star chip." Tristan points out."That's right." Tea agrees, as Joey anime falls. Guess they still have their doubts.
"Don't panic, you can do this Joey." Yugi encourages.
"Yugi's right." I say."You've trained for this after all."
"Hope you two are right."Joey replies as he sat up."This is gonna be my first official duel, I can't afford to lose this early in."
"True." Says yugi." And not everyone here is a pro. I'm sure you could find someone on your level."
"Go for someone easy Joey." Tea adds. Joey took out his cards and looked through them."Hmmm." He thinks."Guess I should think about what kind a field my cards would do best on. They're mostly warrior types." He looks around and smiles."Guess this meadow region is my kind of turf."
"That's right Joey." I say." You know what to do. It's no problem."
"You lost, crybaby! Now give me your star-chips!" We all here a voice yell. Tea's eyes narrow." A voice that annoying could only belong to..." We turn to see a familiar blond laughing in victory as she snapped star-ships into her glove."Mai." The boy she duel wasn't happy about his lost, but left after what looked like a retort from the girl. She sure got things done fast. She spotted us and smirked.
"Wow, she's already won a duel." Joey says with awe as she walked over." Hey Yugi, are your duels going well?" She says.
"I'm making progress." He responds. She then grabs his gloved hand."So you've got three star-chips do you? Ya know,I might be up for another duel myself." Tea leans down and whispers something to the tri-haired duelist. He silently gasps, but I have no idea what at.
The blond lets go."Hmmm ya know, I'm definitely in for a duel right now."She states."So get ready, because I choose to challenge," She points at our own blond."You , Joey."
"What!?" He exclaims."Me? You challenge me?"
"Do you have the guts to accept? I want to duel you, kid." Mai says, really wanting to make a show. Joey smirks."Huh, guess ya heard about my skill."
"Don't flatter yourself." Mai deadpans."I over heard you, Yugi, and Shikiira talking on the boat and that Yugi gave you the only star-chip that you have. My motto is, to take out the weakest opponents first. Considering you woudn't even be here if it haven't been for Yugi, you've got to be the weakest duelist on the island."
"Do you have to be so insultin'?" Joey asks as he narrows his eyes.
"This time she was telling the truth." Tea quips making the blond gasp."Mai's ruthless, don't duel her first."She cautions.
"Don't you get it? If you lose this duel then your out of the tournament." Tristan adds.
I get in between." Hold on guys, don't be so quick to judge. Remember, Joey's trained for this and it was bound to happen. We can't doubt him now. Joey has to stand up for himself if he's ever gonna win anything. It's his decision and if it means taking on a big challenge to improve himself then so be it."
"Yeah." Yugi agrees."Show Mai what your made of."
"Right, she thinks I'm a push over, but she'll see."I nod and turn to the other two."If you guys really want Joey to get farther in this tournament, then you've got support his decisions. Got it?" They look hesitant but they both nod. Joey turns to Mai."I accept this duel."
Mai smirks." Get ready to lose."
"Hey! Stop, give them back!" We were interrupted as we turned to the nearest dueling arena. We turned and saw a group of boys picking and a girl." Give me my chips back, I already gave you the ones we agreed to!" The girl, who had green eyes and raven hair says."No way, so why don't you get lost and go home and do all the girly thing you girls do." Says the tallest one with spiky red hair and sharp yellow eyes.
"Yeah get lost."
"Stupid girl." The two boys next to him say. They must be his goons.
I narrow my eyes as well as the rest of the gang. Even Mai watched in disgust. The two started to walk away, but the girl refused to give up." Hey! I said give them back!" She yells grabbing the guys jacket. He growls, turns around and back slaps the girl, making her fall to the ground. We all gasp."I said get lost. Weak little girls like you don't belong on this island."
That does it!
"Hey!" I shouted and ran over to the scene."Knock it off!" The others quickly followed." Yeah, stop it!" Joey yells. When I get there, I knelt down to the girl and sat her up." Are you okay?" I ask her. She nods. I look up and glare at the boy before me, and open my mouth to tell the guy off, but Joey beats me to it." Hey man, you don't go hittin' girls like that!"
"Yeah, just who do you thing you are anyway!?"Tristan snaps.
The guy smirks." It's none of your business. The girl agreed to a duel and I won and got her star-chips as the rule states."
"You didn't just take the chips you won you took all of them!" The girl yells. Everyone gasps."He did what!?" Yugi exclaims." Our bet was on two star chips, sense both of us had four, but after I lost he took all of them!"
"What!?" Joey exclaims and then turns to the red-haired teen."Alright, cough em' up, give her back her two star-chips!"
The guy flips his spiky hair."Why should I?"
"Because you can't just take others star-chips outright." Says Yugi." Please, just give them back."
The guy laughs."Like I would ever give these chips back to a girl. I mean come on, girls aren't meant to duel and they don't belong on this island." All of us girls gasped.
'Excuse me!" Mai snaps. " You got to get something against us girls?" The guy smirks." No, it's just a fact that girls can't duel. Dueling should be left to a man. After all, guys are just better at almost everything than girls. We do the fighting, and girls do house work and what ever girly things they do. They're weak and don't belong with the guys."
"Why you sexist...!" Tea growls. Mai steps forward and pushes up her sleeve." Alright, I've had enough. Joey, our duel is gonna have to wait, because I'm taking this guy down!"
"Hold on." I say standing up. She stops and turns to me." I'll take him." Everyone stares at me."You sure about this, Shikiira?" Yugi asks. I nod. Mai smirks."Well then, I trust you'll put this guy in his place." I step forward and point at the rednette.
"Alright, prepare yourself, cause I'm your next opponent."I challenge. The boys before us stare for a moment before bursting out in laughter." Get a load of this boss, this little girl is actually challenging you!"Says one of his goons."Yeah, and just look, she's so short! It's hilarious." My eye twitches slightly at the 'short' comment. The red-head catches his breath after laughing." It's hilarious all right. Sorry, but I decline, a little girl like you isn't worth my time." They all turned and began to walk away.
"If you think I'll let you go that easy, then your dead wrong!" I say. I then charged and when I got close enough, I jumped high in the air over their heads, twisted my body around and landed facing them. Everyone gasped as I did. I stood up with a hand placed on my hip." You three are nothing but pathetic excuses for duelists. You gang up and pick on those you deem weaker than you and don't show any true strength of your own. I won't stand by and let you get away with hurting others. If you think I'm the weak little girl you think I am, then you've got another thing coming!"
The red-head glared, but that annoying smirk re-appeared on his face." Alright, I'll take you on. If you're so eager to lose all your chips then so be it. I reconsider your offer. I'm Kushiken Tsutora, and I accept this pathetic excuse for a challenge."
"Then it's time to duel." I declare.
LP- Shikiira/2000 ,Kushiken /2000
We took a nearby dueling arena. It was 50% meadow, 30% mountain and 20% ocean. He took the red stand, while I took the blue. "I hope your ready to lose, because your in for a world of hurt." He says as we were raised to our platforms. "Don't count on it. You have no idea who you're dueling."I say. Kushiken chuckles." I know who I'm dueling ; a little girl who has no chance of winning." I keep a straight-face at his remark.
"Come on Shikiira! Show this guys who's boss!" Tea cheers. She was quickly followed by the others, even Mai." Make sure ya break him hard for me alright!" She yells. I nod in reply.
I take off my two star-chips from my glove." Alright, I bet my only two star-chips for the ones you took from the girl you dueled, and I mean all four of them." The guy laughs." You just said yourself you only have two chips, what makes you think I'll give you all four?" I then hold up my deck up."I'll give up my deck as well." The gang gasped while the red-haired teen frowned."Why would a want a little girls deck?"
"You don't even know what's in my deck, who knows, I might have some worth while cards in here." I say with a smirk of my own. The guy smirks as well." Alright, I'll take your word for it."He draws his cards and his smirk broadens." I'll go first." He says while drawing. He grabs another card form his hand and places it on the field. "I summon Black Knight in attack mode!" A knight dawned in obsidian black armor appeared on the field. It had a crimson red sword and equally red eyes that glowed under it's helm. It was a dark and warrior type. The monster had an original Atk of 1600 and 400 Def, but thanks to the meadow field, it got a hefty power boost, making it's Atk 2400 and it's Def 600. His monster is already a force to be reckoned with." I also set this card and end my turn, lets see what you've got, little girl."
"I draw." I say, and looked at the cards I now have. I have Spell Reactor-Re, Lord of Dragons, Dragons Gunfire, Mirage Dragon, Bottomless Trap Hole, and Lancer LindWurm. I took Lancer and placed him on the field, a dragon and wind type. His original Atk and Def(1800atk ,1200def) became 2340 and 1560. It wasn't enough to destroy his monster, but I have that taken care of." And I also play this, Dragons Gunfire, sense I have a dragon on the field, I'll use it's second effect to destroy any monster on the field with 800 or less defense!"
"Not so fast! I activate my trap card! A Knights Holy Light!" A light soon appeared where his face down was as my dragon prepared to use Gunfire. When my dragon shot the blast, the light shot out and countered it!"What!? Alright, care to explain?" I ask, my arms crossed." Oh of course, you see, A Knights Holy Light is a continuous trap card that protects my warrior from being destroyed by spell or trap cards. Sense my deck is filled with warrior monsters, you have no chance of beating them!" I gasp, this isn't good.
"Shikiira's in trouble!" Joey exclaims.
"Now it's gonna be real hard to beat Kushiken's monsters!" Tea adds.
"Come on guys. We have to have faith in her. After all, the duel's only begun. We have to believe she can win." Says Yugi, looking up at me.
"Well, I hope you're right Yugi."Says Mai." But she's not off to a good start."
"Your little girl is toast!" Says Goon #1, making the gang turn to him." Our Kushiken is a 5 time tournament champion. He's known as the Slayer Knight as every one of his opponents were slayed by his warriors."
"Yeah!" Says goon #2." He's never lost either!"The gang was now slightly getting worried. If what they say is true, then I'm in for one heck of a duel. He may be a sexist jerk, but so far, he's good. As Yugi said though, I still have a chance." Alright, I end my turn."
" Good then." he draws. He smirks even more." Now I set this card and play, Ishulk the samurai!" It wasn't much to look at, just your average samurai.(orginal atk 1600, def 200,earth type,warrior.) and thanks to the meadow he gets a power boost." The monsters atk became 2400 def 300." Now I attack your Lancer with my Black Knight. Go Dark Slash!" The Knight then attacked, slicing my dragon in half. It burst into pixels and my life points dropped.
LP- Shikiira 1940/ Kushiken/ 2000
He ended his turn."It's best you give up, no one's ever beaten me before." I draw." Don't claim victory just yet." I say. I drew Castle of Dragon Souls, this could help, so I set it, not completely sure though." I set one face-down, and summon one monster in set defense." I say putting down Spell Reactor-Re."Now it's your go."
He draws." This is too easy." He sets another card." Now I'll attack your face down! Black Knight go! Dark slash again. The monster slashed at my own. It was destroyed, but my life points were safe.
"I'm starting to think this isn't even worth my time. Although , I will say after this duel, I'll have 10 star-chips and be able to advance to the finals, so I guess it wasn't total waste. I'll soon be King of Games thanks to you." He mocks. He's so arrogant. He doesn't know what I'm capable of. "You better be careful, I'm not a duelist you should underestimate, after all, this duel's barely begun." I say, drawing as it was my turn. I draw Lancer Dragonute." I set another monster in set defense and end my turn."
"Another defense monster. You must be weaker than I thought." He draws and smirks." Oh your in for it now. I summon Swordsmen Alchemist!(2300atk and 1200 def) He will be your end!" His monster was strong. It dawned a white robe with golden shoulder spikes and sword. It's boosted power was 3450atk and 1800 def!"This monster also has a special ability. Whenever it destroys a monster in defense, I can inflict piercing battle damage and gain life points equal to the amount of damage you took!" Uh oh, this can't be good, and it's going to take a lot of my life points
The gang gasped. "Now my Swordsmen, attack her face down! Alchemic destruction!" The Swordmen's golden sword began to glow. Then it thrusts the blade forward, sending a golden beam of light at my face down and destroyed it. It was Lord of Dragons with it's original Def being 1100, but thankfully, it was boosted by the meadow making it 1650. I barley survived this attack, as he is thrived with new life.
LP- Shikiira 140/ Kushiken 3900
"Oh no! She's down to only 140 life points now!"The raven girl exclaims. "What's she gonna do, she's gonna lose!"
"Not to mention that Kenshiken has a lot more life points now." Tea adds.
Mai was getting frustraited." Come on Shikiira, I thought you were better than this! Are you just gonna let him push around like that!" She yells.
"If she doesn't come up with a come back now she's done for."Joey says.
"Don't worry guys, I've got the feeling she's going to win this." They all turn to the little duelist, confused." What makes you say that,Yug?"Joey asks with a raised brow. It's hard to believe I'll win, I'll admit. With the odds right now it seems most likely that I'll lose. He's got a monster with 3450 attack power and two other monsters that are just as strong. My chances are low. It does seem I've met an end.
"We may have known Shikiira for only a short time, but from what I've seen, she's not one to doubt in faith or give up that easily. When I dueled Kaiba, she never stopped cheering me on. When I began to doubt myself, she reminded me of how you guys were counting on me and were fighting with me as I dueled. She reminded me of why I was fighting and never doubted me one bit. I would have never beat Kaiba without her support." He looked up at the silvernette, his smile broadened." Hey Shikiira! You can do this! Remember we're fighting with you as well. You're not the only one putting faith in your cards!"
Hearing Yugi call out to me reminded me of a quote of my own.
"Enough doubt already and lets end this together! You're not the only one putting faith in this final draw!"
I smiled, remembering that moment. He's right. I'm not alone on this and people are counting on me. I have to get back that girls star-chips, no matter what. I'm fighting this for her. To protect her from the loss of all her chips and having to leave this island...to protect. That's it! This is why I duel! Why I fight. All my life I've always been helpless and couldn't do anything for myself or others. But now I have the power to help and protect people who can't help themselves. That's my purpose in life, and my purpose for winning this duel!
"Don't worry about me Yugi." I say." I will win this and I will get back those star-chips and give them to who rightfully owns them!" Sense it was my turn, I drew. Perfect, time to turn things around. "I now summon Mirage Dragon in attack mode!(1600 atk, 600def) With the boost, it's attack becomes 2080 and defense 780!"
"What good will that do?" Kushiken asks, not impressed." It's not strong enough to defeat any of my monsters."I smirk."Well lets just say you spoke to soon, cause now I equip it with the card I just drew. Mega Morph!"
"And what does that exactly do?" He asked, still not impressed." When my life points are lower than my opponents, I can target one monster on the field and double its attack power!" Everyone gasps as my monster total attack is raised to 4160.
"Now way! You've got to be kidding me!" the rednette gasps.
"Alright! She did it!" Joey cheers.
"Way to go! " Tristan yells.
"That's what I'm walking about." Mai says smirking up at the duel before her.
"Now my Dragon , attack with Serpentine Slice! Destroy is Swordsmen Alchemist!" Mirage Dragon then flew in a serpent like manner before slashing the warrior monster with its mirror like claws." NO MY SWORDSMEN!" Kushiken cried out, as well as his goons.
LP-Shikiira/40 ,Kushiken/3,190
The gang cheered as Kushiken's life points dropped."I end my turn. So what are you gonna do now, Kenshiken? I just took down your strongest monster and now have the strongest one on the field." He narrowed his eyes."I'm going to destroy you that's what!" He says with venom on his voice as he drew. He was begging to get angry, I could tell." I now activate my face down! Earthquake! It changes all monster to defense mode!" Great, now my monster is weaker in this position." And sense I haven't attacked yet, I can change my monsters back to attack mode and destroy your dragon!"He switched them to said mode." Go Black Knight!" The knight destroyed yet another one of my monsters."Now you no longer have the strongest monster on the field. After your turn, it will all over!"
"It's not over till it's over!" I say as I draw and smirked. " I now place this monster face down and that will be all. I must say though, it will be over in a bit, but not in the way you believe."
"What makes you say that?"
"The card I just played face down. Its the key to me ending this duel."
"You're bluffing!"
"Am I?"
"Shut up!" He yells angrily as he drew." Black Knight, attack her face down!" His Knight did as so. When the monster was destroyed, it revealed a white stone embedded in rock before bursting into pixels." Ha, you were bluffing, that monster was nothing!"
"I wasn't buffing at all, The White Stone of Legend has a special ability. Whenever it's sent to the graveyard, I get to bring one special dragon from my deck to my hand." I say as I look though my deck to bring the monster to my hand. The rednette hrmps."I'm sure it's just another weak monster, like the rest of your cards. Go ahead, play your special monster."
"Alright then." I say as I draw, then grab my trump card." I now summon the monster that will end this duel once and for all. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"At that moment everyone gasped as the giant white dragon emerged on the field it's original attack and defense being raised from 3000 and 2500 to 3900 and 3,250.
"What!?" Joey exlcaims." The Blue-Eyes White dragon! No way, I thought only Kaiba had Gramps had them! When did she have that card?!"
"There are only seven of those cards in the whole world."Yugi explains." Shikiira must have gotten one of the last three that were left!"
" I never would have guessed she had such a card." Says Mai, not believing her eyes." It's no wonder she's the top duelist in America!"
Kushiken heard it all." What!? I can't believe it! It can't be! Not only does she have the most power monster there is, she's the top duelist in the states!?"
"That's right! Ever sense I became a duelist and made a name, everyone in the dueling industry knows my as the Silver duelist. Honestly ,that's a title I don't care to have. I'm just Shikiira Silvieay, and I'm going to end this duel right now! I play the spell card I drew. Burst Stream of Destruction! If I have a Blue-Eyes on the field , then I can destroy every single monster you control!"I say, slapping the card down.
"NO!" Kushiken cries as Blue-Eyes charged up it's attack and let it loose. His monsters were disintegrated and his life points were no more.
LP- Shikiira/140 Kushiken/0
"Alright Shikiira,ya beat 'em!" Joey cheers as I got down from the platform.
"Way to go!" Says Tea, followed by Tristan." That was incredible." I smile sheepishly, but quickly turn serious again as I looked at Kushiken as he got down.
"I got beat...and by a little girl, no less..." he mumbled with disbelief."How could I have lost?"
" You want to know why you lost?"I ask. He turns to me, his eyes filled with confusion."You lost because of your own arrogance. You pick on those who you believe are weak to fill yourself with pride and underestimate those you deem lower than you. That being said, you're no true duelist. A true duelist fights for what's right. Whether it's to prove ones self or protect others. If you had dueled humbly and honorably you may have had a chance. But in the end your sexist pride and anger dug your own grave. You should always know, humility is the key to tranquility within ones self."
He stares for a moment before his face contorts in anger, but he quickly relaxes and becomes expressionless. He then takes four star-chips off his dueling glove and tosses them to the ground before me. "Here, take them... I don't care anymore."
He turns around and starts to walk away." Come on guys, we're leaving."They quickly followed.
I can now finally relax and fall to my knees, completely worn out."That was that hardest duel I've done in a looooong time." Besides the duel with Pegasus. Everyone laughed. I look up at them slightly confused, but laugh along anyway. After catching my breath, I pick up the four star-chips on the ground and walk over to the raven haired girl I was fighting for." Here, these are yours." I say, holding them out to her. The girl smiles.
"Thanks." She then takes only two star-chips and snaps them onto her gauntlet." I don't know what else to say." I blink." Aren't you gonna take the last two?" She shakes her head." No, I only needed these two. When I dueled him ,I lost two star-chips fair and square. Besides, you earned those 2 star-chips, keep them." I smile and close my fist around the two small chips. "Thanks."
"Oh, by the way, I'm Miracle Clinn." She says holding out her hand. I smile brightly,taking it in my own." Shikiira Silvieay."
"I hope we meet again some time, I'd sure like to have a duel with you."
"It would be a pleasure." I reply, and with that, she walked away."Good bye, and good luck with the rest of your duels."
"You too!"
I took a deep breath in and out. Today sure has been hectic. First there was the duel with Yugi and Weevil. That was a crazy one. The lead changed so many times it was hard to truly determine who would win. Then there was when Mai challenged Joey, and they have yet to duel sense were were interrupted. Having to duel Kushiken wasn't easy either. His monsters were so strong thanks to the power boost he got from the meadow region. All in all, today's actually been fun. I must say, I haven't had this much fun sense, well, ever.
"Hey Shikiira."I hear a familiar blond say, bringing me out of my thoughts."Yeah there? Hellooo." I blink ,than laughed lightly." Sorry, I was lost in thought." He laughed too and ruffled my hair. I blinked."Why do you keep doing that?" He smiles sheepishly and ruffles my hair again." I don't know... your so short I can't help it."
"I'm not that short..." I pout. Everyone then burst into laughter. I sighed and joined them.
"So, Shikiira." Says Yugi." Could you tell us how you got a Blue-Eyes?"
I knew this was going to be asked eventually. "Yeah," Says Tristan," we only thought Kaiba and Gramps had that card."
I put a finger to my chin." Honestly it's been forever sense I first got all seven of those cards."
"Seven?" They all ask confused." Oh here, let me show you." I then took out my deck and showed them the cards." So you do have the last three!" Yugi says with big eyes."Not only that, but you have three White Stones and a Burst stream of Destruction!"
"It's no wonder you're a top duelist." Says Tea.
"I knew you had good cards," Says Mai, "but I never would have guess you had those rare cards."
"It's awesome." Says Joey.
"I'm not unbeatable though."I say.
"Well then lets just hope you win all your duels." Says Yugi in reply.
"Speaking of duels." Says Mai." Joey, you and I still have to battle. Sense we were interrupted, we never got the chance."'
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that." Joey says sheepishly.
"So, you ready to loose?" She asks with a smirk.
"Bring it on!" Says Joey, hyped.
I sigh, I don't know if I can handle another duel. I must say though, I've learned a few things during this time. What a true duelist is and the purpose I have. I duel to help others and fight to protect the people who just can't help themselves. My name is Shikiira Silvieay, and I am a warrior protector. From now on, that fact will always stand.
