A/N: Here I am, back with Chapter 4. Yeah, it's a shorter chapter, deal with it. I once again thank Aqua girl 007 for her help and suggestions.
Disclaimer: For disclaimer look after the first A/N of Chapter 1.
Wow, the city sure is big. I thought. You could get lost in this city so easily. I hope Yugi and Joey actually know where they're going.
"Are you okay, Za?" Ryou asked. Oh, gosh. I guess I was too zoned out.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine. It's just that the city is so big. I would really hate to get lost or something." Ryou laughed. I guess he thinks I'm kidding. I'm not.
"Don't worry. I'm sure Yugi and Joey know exactly where they're going."
"We totally know where we're going." Joey said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Actually, it's right up here." Yugi said, reassuringly. We walked a little longer and then went into a shop.
"Hello, we're here to pick up duel disks for the tournament." Yugi said.
"Alright, let me just get your names so I can look you up in the system." They both gave their names to the guy. He looked up Yugi first.
"Wow, Yugi, you're a five star duelist!" Tea said. Why does his rarest card need to be on his profile? I thought.
"Is that your rarest card, Yug? Why does that need to be on your profile? That's probably an unfair advantage to Kaiba." Joey said. Huh, I guess people have a tendency to speak for me. The guy looked up Joey next.
"You're only a one-star duelist." We all seemed to be very surprised.
"I came second place in Duelist Kingdom, how am I only one star?" Joey started to freak out. Tristan grabbed onto Joey and we all laughed a little.
"Hey, why do you think Joey is ranked so low?" I whispered to Ryou.
"I don't know. I think Kaiba's probably just messing with him." I smiled. The shop keeper looked at the screen again. His eyes widened and he started typing. What's that all about? I wondered.
"Oh, actually you ARE a five-star duelist. It must've been a system glitch. " Joey rejoiced. The shop keeper handed Yugi and Joey their duel disks and we walked out. That guy in the shop sure was acting weird. Joey glanced down at his phone to check the time.
"Oh crap." Joey said.
"What's wrong?" Ryou replied.
"It's my sister's operation. I promised her I'd be at the hospital in time for her operation. I gotta run!"
"All the best of luck, Joey." Ryou said.
"Say hi to Serenity for us." I said.
"No problem. Just keep wishing me luck!" Joey ran off.
"Well guys, we're gonna run off too." Yugi said. He and Tea started walking away. Oh my gosh, he did do it. I thought.
"I just hope Joey's alright." Tristan said.
"Huh? Why wouldn't he be?" I asked. Joey can usually handle himself in any situation, so my confusion is evident.
"Joey's mom is going to be there. Since he and his sister have been separated, he hasn't spoken to his mom."
"Wow, that's about seven years." I said. I'll bet that's hard for him. My parents are dead, but if they weren't and I got separated from my sister, I don't know what I would do.
"Wow, I feel bad for him."
"Still, I vow that one day to see the Wheeler family united!" Wow, that's actually sweet. No wonder my sister liked him. She went out with Tristan for a while, but it didn't work out. She's been so distant from everyone now, and has started being a little rude. I don't think she'll ever be as close as she was. She told me some bogus reason to tell them in case anyone asked why she hated them, but I don't think they actually believe it. (1)
"You trying to be a hero in order to impress Serenity?" I asked. Ryou laughed and I couldn't help but smile.
"No I most certainly am not."
"Yeah, and i'm Bruce Willis in a bunny suit."
"Come on guys, you wanna go find something to do since the others are out?" Ryou asked.
"Sure, why not?" I said.
"Sure." Tristan said.
A/N: Woo, thank goodness I finished this. Keep in touch, and review.
