A/N: I'm back. So sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I was trying to submit a Joey x Stacey lemon over at deviantart . But apparently, the site is being a pain in the ass and won't let me submit it to the correct categories. So that's why it'll be shown like a journal for now. But I will however, write the lemon on here from now on until they fix the problem. Anyway, here's Chapter 8 and I hope you'll all like it.

Chapter 8: A Freaky Shadow Duel

The bastard took Mokuba during the match and she didn't see! they searched the island and no sign of him. Well, this was just great.
It was now the end of the day, the sun was setting and she was tired, hungry and dirty. So after all that dueling, it was nice to just sit back,
talk with everybody and pick on Joey as usual.

"Shall we duel some of the other kids here or shall Joey just wait for some three-year-olds to come his way?" Tristan said.

"Hey, Tristan. It's not Joey's fault he needs a dueling monkey to challenge him." Téa said teasingly. all of them started to laugh, but they were pissing Joey off according to the look on his face.

"Just one more word about dueling monkeys and I'm gonna..."

"Gonna what, dude?" Stacey said challengingly, seeing him worm his way out of it, since he was kind of scared of her. "Aw, boner! not now!"
he groaned, noticing his bulge harden. "Nice to see the dueling pack strikes again."

Oh great, she knew that annoying voice. All of them turned to see Mai with a cocky smile on her face, which Stacey wanted to punch at so badly. "How are you Joseph? glad to see me?"

"Ecstatic. just look at all the joy I have." he said sarcastically, making her laugh. "Is Yugi or Stacey still winning your duels for you?
or have you finally won some duels for you? If they weren't there to hold your hand, you wouldn't have beat me."

"Look, that's not what Yugi and I do for Joey." Stacey said, defending him. "Oh shut it, little Kaiba favorite! you and Yugi have been cheating with Joey ever since I came here."

"I know one thing. I ain't gonna kill you with cards, you fake, plastic bitch!" she yelled, trying to lunge at her, while her face was red with anger and she had a red anime thing appear on her temple, but Joey and Tristan held her back. and Tristan yelled at Yugi to control his cousin which he tried to do, but she was too stubborn and pissed to respond.

"Look, if Joey's so tough, let's see him play for himself! So what's your answer tough guy?"

She really hated this girl. Mai had some nerve doing that. and the bad part was that she wasn't even dueling him again. she had someone else duel for her.
Rex Raptor, the other little munchkin that liked to stare at her, or more importantly, her large breasts, oh great. the little perv. Tristan protested against it,
but Joey wanted to do it. then came the argument and a punch from Joey, right at Tristan knocking him down.

While Joey and Rex started their match, she and Yugi had to go see about something. Well, actually she was watching, when Yugi yanked her hand and dragged her with him, assuring her that it was cousin business.

"Whoa, where's the fire, cuz?"

"I need you for something, Stace. Come on."

"Uhhh... wait? Where are you taking me?" They both ran into the field, looking for Tristan she guessed. then she heard some familiar mumbling.

"What a nimrod. big dumb jerk, who does he think he is?" Oh Tristan, so whiny. they found him near a lake, splashing water on his face, since he and Joey got into a big fight. "You okay Tristan?" Yugi asked. he turned to face them, being a little surprised that they were there.

"Yug? Stacey? What are you two doing here? You're supposed to be helping Joey."

"Joey made it pretty clear he didn't want our help on this one. and since you left, I figured maybe we should leave too." She replied, while Yugi nodded.

"But he needs your coaching. without you two, he won't stand a chance. you two have to go back and help him." Tristan said a little concerned.

"Joey needs to fight this duel on his own, and we have to let him." Yugi told him. Tristan grabbed Yugi by the shirt, as if to punch him, but he just picked him up
and shook him a little. Stacey got a little mad from that, no one should touch him like that. not even Tristan or Joey.

"Yugi, you need to help him!"

"And you need to take your hands off my cousin before I kill you myself, Tristan!" she said, seeing him put Yugi down.

This discussion was getting them nowhere, so she just sat back and listened to Yugi still try. The poor guy. Finally, Tristan came to his senses
and they went back to the field. Joey was doing great, until Rex brought out the Red Eyes Black Dragon. But at least Joey was smarter than he looked.
Winning the duel with Rex not only got him more star chips, but also won him the Red Eyes Black Dragon card.

Now it was night time, and Stacey couldn't wait to lay down and sleep. all of them were hungry, and just hearing Joey complain, she wanted to kill him.
Mai had to join them, but at least she was tolerable now. Stacey and Téa freshened up in the makeshift shower, since they were both starting to stink.

After her shower, Stacey wore a soft, black dress that reached above her knees with red lace, displaying a bit more skin than what she was used to and cleavage. She then paired the dress with knee-length sexy laced-up black boots with red trim and finished off her sexy rock star look with smoky black eye shadow and eyeliner that made her purple eyes pop and her trademark long straight dark brown hair with her bangs pulled back now and they finally got some good food now.

Joey wasn't that bad of a cook since Stacey said that the best way to a woman's heart was through her stomach and he blushed at her response and then smiled since he'd been trying to win her over ever since her duel with Ghost Kaiba and hoped that this meal would convince her. Yugi and Mai started to discuss the tournament, but Téa didn't want to hear anything that was related to dueling.

"We can always make fun of Joey, that's always fun." she said. he shot her a mean glare, even though he knew she was teasing him.

Mai had left to walk around for a bit, which was good news for Stacey. she was sitting with Yugi near some bushes and she was falling asleep, her head on Yugi's shoulder but he didn't seem to mind since he didn't shake her off. then she felt a hand come against her bare back, making her scream.
Joey and Tristan jumped in front of them, waiting for an attack, but then a kid came out who'd she seen in school with white hair, brown eyes and if she remembered correctly, had a British accent.

"It's Bakura!" Yugi said. "See, I told you! I have been seeing things, but you idiots wouldn't listen to me!" Téa yelled out. Stacey turned and glared at her.
"Hey! Watch who you're calling an idiot, Gardener!" she said, while threatening Téa with her fist in her face.

"Now can he explain to me why he scared me half to death and nearly gave me a fucking heart attack?!" Stacey asked, still a little shaken but annoyed as well.

"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I just wanted to get your attention."

"You got it. Try that again and I will kill you dude."

All of them sat around the campfire, just looking at their cards. Stacey knew that she wasn't going to get that much sleep. they all picked the cards that they identified with the most. Joey - his Flame Swordsman, Tristan - his Cyber Commander, Téa - her Magician of Faith, Yugi - his Dark Magician,
and Stacey - her Fire Princess. But Bakura had a magic card - Change of Heart.
they all thought that it was a little weird, since that particular card changes the mood of a monster to be betrayer to it's owner. Bakura suggested a duel with all those cards and just for fun, even though Stacey knew what his idea of "fun" was, but then things began to get a little weirder.

He revealed a Millennium item, causing his voice to change, like Yugi's did when he dueled and same with hers. But he had a spirit inside and by the sound of it,
he wasn't exactly friendly.

"Why are you doing this, dude?!" She asked angrily. "You and Yugi have something I want, and I aim to get them." Stacey growled. "Over my body, you psycho!" she yelled threateningly. then everything became pitch black.

Normal P.O.V.

Bakura fell victory after ending everybody into the shadow realm. He stood over the bodies of everybody, looking over the Millennium Puzzle and Anklet,
reaching down to get them. But something happened that he didn't count on: Yugi and Stacey's bodies getting up and ruining his chances.

"You want the Millennium Puzzle and Anklet? then you'll have to duel us for them. If we win, you release us from here." Yugi said.

"Why take their souls and bring us here?" Stacey asked. "I come to possess all eight Millennium items. when I'm done with both of you, those items will be mine!" they both looked at each other, nodding in understanding and accepting his challenge. they played not in an arena, but on a stump in the field they were in. they laid out the dueling board and began. "My first card is the Cyber Commander in defense mode." Yugi said, laying out the card.

Then there came something that shocked them both. what came up wasn't a normal monster, it was Tristan in the Cyber Commander's clothes.
He looked around and screamed when he saw the size of his friend. Bakura laid down the Magical Hat, attacking Tristan and killing him.

"Tristan!" Yugi and Stacey yelled. "What have you done to him, you insolent ass?" she yelled. "My, my. what a dirty mouth you have. Anyway, he's on his way to the discard pile or the graveyard." he said with an evil smirk across his face, which only made her even more angry as he laughed at their sadness.
"You better be lucky you're on that side and not over here. Because I will not hesitate to go over there and beat ya ass!" she growled, making him laugh.

Yugi needed a strong card, so he played Joey's. The Flame Swordsman.

"Hey, Yugi what gives. I remember, AAAAHHHH! giant Yugi and Stacey, I have finally cracked." Joey said, when he appeared as his favorite monster.

"Listen to me Joey, Bakura has trapped your soul in your favorite card. You're the Flame Swordsman." Stacey explained. "I'M THE WHO?!" Joey asked and exclaimed. "We have to win this duel in order to restore you to normal. but if you lose, you'll be sent to the graveyard. we need your help." Yugi continued.

"You want my help, you got it. I may have lost my mind, but I'll go along with this. Alright, who wants a piece of... AAAAHHH! Giant Bakura!
Now I know I lost my mind. I'm six inches tall, wearing a dress and about to fight my friend."

"That's not really Bakura, Joey. an evil spirit has taken over his body." Stacey said. "Oh, well here goes nothing." Joey said.

Yelling out his attack, he slashed the Magical Hat, killing it. It was now Bakura's turn, he placed a face down card, ending his turn.
But did Joey learn not to attack before Yugi told him? No. he attacked right at it. "Hassan chop! Ta-da!" Joey yelled, happy about attacking it.

"Joey, you dumb ass! that was a morphing jar!" Stacey yelled. "Is that bad?" Joey asked, while she face palmed in annoyance.

"When a morphing jar is attacked, cards from both players' hands go to the graveyard. Just be thankful Stacey and Téa weren't here." Yugi said.

"Sorry Yug'." Joey told him. Drawing another hand, Yugi pulled out Dark Magician and Fire Princess. Since he had no choice, he put them both down.
and out appeared Yugi and Stacey, dressed as their monsters. Joey blushed as soon he saw the way Stacey was dressed in Fire Princess' clothes, her long, dark brown hair blowing beautifully around her. he also laid down Monster Reborn, bringing back Tristan.

"Joey, Yugi, Stacey, you guys dreaming this too?"

"Why are you guys dressed like that?" Little Stacey asked, seeing that she had a staff in her hand and was wearing an orange robe and a red cape.

"I'm going insane. there's two of me, and two of Yugi."

"Guess we have to win the duel in order to wake up." Tristan pointed out. "Alright then, let me chop him."

"Me and Yugi were played, so we have to move." Stacey said, making Joey step back. "Dark Magic Attack!" Yugi yelled.

His attack activated another morphing jar. sending all the cards from their hand to the graveyard. "I'm sorry." Yugi said.

"Don't worry, I did the same thing Yug'." Joey said. Bakura laid down a trap called 'Just Desserts', bringing down Yugi's life points to 500.
but it also hit Yugi really bad. "Big Yugi, are you okay?" Tristan asked. Yugi was hunched over, and holding his chest like he'd been just punched.

"Yeah, but one more attack like that and it's over." he strained to say. Since Téa wasn't safe in his hand, he played her face down in defense mode.
She appeared under the card and then yelled out to the others. they all ran to her, and covered her from Bakura's sight.

"A little early for Halloween, don't you think?" Téa asked, then looked at the staff in her hand, which was very much like Stacey's but different.

"Does anyone else see two Staceys and Yugis?" she asked. "They're duelling against an evil Bakura for us. think of it this way, there are two Yugis and Staceys.
cool ones are up there and the puny ones are down here." Joey said. "I'm about to hurt you Joey for that last crack, dude. So I'd suggest you watch your mouth, or I'll put my fist in it." Stacey said, threateningly. Joey gulped. "Noted." he replied nervously.

Yugi didn't like being called puny, so he revealed the monster that was placed face down on Bakura's side. "Yugi wait!" Big Yugi yelled.

It was too late. he attacked. but then Yugi got hit with an electrical shock, causing all of him to go numb. Stacey ran to him, trying to help him up.
Bakura placed a man-eater bug on the field, face down. but they couldn't do anything, but it can take one card off the field as soon as someone attacks.
Joey sacrified himself, so that Yugi could pull a trap card. Now he was in the graveyard, leaving everybody on the field.

Both Téa and Stacey began to cry and Téa's tears activated her card effects. thankfully, he could summon back one magic card and replay it.
Monster Reborn had brought Joey back. Stacey ran to him, hugged him and also punched him. "Is it too much to ask for me not to have a heart attack?"
Stacey said, indignantly. he laughed, but then came the Change Of Heart card and the evil Bakura chose Stacey to turn against her friends and cousin.

"Leave her out of this!" Big Yugi cried out. "Too late! try to save your cousin from this!" he yelled at him.

Out of that card came Bakura, the real one, and he helped. by taking over the other card, evil Bakura had on the field. He asked Stacey to attack him, but she refused. then big Yugi and Stacey joined hands, making the evil Bakura come out of the host's body. Now he was on the field, open for an attack.

"Attack him Stacey!" Big Yugi cried out. She smiled, running towards him and beaming him into oblivion.

"Man, that was a weird dream." Stacey said, as she was getting up. "I just had a dream that Bakura went totally mental." Tristan said.

"Same here. last time I sleep with cards under my pillow." Joey added. "Hey guys!" Bakura yelled.

Both Joey and Tristan screamed, hugging each other and causing them to laugh.
"I dreamt we were all dressed as duel monsters and there were two Yugis and two Staceys." Téa said. Maybe Stacey wasn't dreaming, that was what she saw. then came something she didn't expect to see. a helicopter and a familiar face. Seto.

A/N: Whew, pretty long chapter if I do say so myself. So, what did you guys think of this chapter? Pretty creepy stuff, huh. Anyway, tell me what you think in the comments. Only fifteen more chapters left until I start Season 2 and the Battle City arc.
