Kisimra's POV
I got ready for school that day. It was a normal day after that silly meeting with Rebecca. (Oh this was about a week ago) since then a new game shop opened nearby and slowed down business for the Kame game shop. This made Grandpa upset but with Yugi...well let's just say he was curious. I walked by his room when I saw that Yugi had the puzzle on a chain and not on that old leather strap. I also saw that Yami was next to him with his arms folded. "Yami...does this look okay? It's not too much for the puzzle is it?"
"Honestly I don't think it enough...I'd add some silver chain bracelets to tie it together."
"Yami! I don't were that stuff!" Yami smirked. Then he looked over my direction. "Say Kisimra...wouldn't you agree Yugi should where chain bracelets to tie his outfit together?"
"No...I think it looks fine...but Yugi why are you putting a chain on the Puzzle?" Yugi gave me a full smile. "Well...That leather strap was really starting to wear out so I thought it would help to update it to a chain."
"Well it looks good on you." Just then we heard Yugi's mom calling for us to go downstairs. "Yugi...Kisimra...Anzu's here."
"Okay time to go." We rushed down the stairs and I nearly laugh out loud for what Yami said next. "Okay Yugi...don't forget to show Anzu you hansome side."
"Good god Yami! Quit teasing me about that!"
"I'm just saying...I want to see you happy and you always talk about Anzu like a love struck boy."
"Well just...uh..." Yami gave a dark chuckle and faded into the puzzle. "So Yugi...Yami is giving you dating tips?" I teased. Yugi turned bright red. "No!" I smirked. "Right...Hey Anzu!" Anzu smiled and waved as we headed towards the school.
"So Yugi...How is your grandpa doing after that ordeal?" Anzu asked. Yugi smiled. "He's okay...though...he is a little upset that there is this new..."
"THIS IS WAR I TELL YOU WAR!" all four of us (Yami even jumped up from this) were scared by grandpa and he started up his rant. "That no good new game shop is going to drive us out of buisness!" Anzu looked confused. "New Game shop?" I frowned. "Yea...there is this new shop down the street and business has been low." Grandpa pointed down the street. "See that is the menace that is stealing away my buisness." Yami came up in spirit form and frowned. "No use being upset..."
"Yami be nice!" I snapped at him. Then I thought it. "You know...I hate clowns...and that is their mascot so I wouldn't worry."
"But they will also be selling this new game exclusively there." I looked over at Yugi who had the curious look in his eyes. "Lets have a closer look." Yugi ran ahead of Anzu and me. "Hmm...D.D.D?" that was the new game apparently. "Okay Yugi...lets go..." I bumped into that stupid clown. "AHK!" I just hate clowns and I grabbed both Yugi and Anzu's arms and pulled them away and hurried off to school.
At school, all we talked about was that new game shop and that new game. "So Yugi...any ideas of what it could be?" Jonouchi asked. "No clue but I'm going to buy it without grandpa knowing." I glared at Yugi with a smirk. "Yugi you fox."
"OH AWSOME!" we all heard a bunch of girls yelling. "What the hell is going on there?" I asked. Honda answered. "It's this new guy...Otogi Ryuji..." I smirked. "Let me see what is going on there." So I walked over and saw that this guy was doing pallor tricks. He looked up at me and gave me a smirk. "Well...aren't you the girl who is afraid of clowns?" I glared. "How did you..."
"I saw you at my store this morning and I got to say you are really cute." I blushed. Was he hitting on me? "Oh well...I uh..." I didn't know what was it but I was just stuttering over my words. He got up and took my hand and gave it a kiss. "Well...you look just adorable with you are embarrassed."
"E...Embarrassed! I am not!"
"Off course you are...that is why you are so red in the face." I was getting a little pissed off. "Well...At least I don't have to show off my skills to get popular." Otogi glared. "What do you mean?" that was when Jonouchi, Honda, Yugi, and Anzu came up. Jonouchi glared. "Hey leave her alone...can't you see she doesn't like that." That part was true. "Oh is she your girlfriend?" I snapped.
"OH HELL NO! JONOUCHI IS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!" Otogi smirked. "Really...say I have a bet." He took a die and a cup and placed the die in the cup and then on the table. "I bet that I can get that die in my right hand without lifting that cup...if I win you'll have to be my personal slave." Jonouchi just glared. "It's obviously not possible." Otogi smirked. "Really." He closed his right hand and smirked. "Look I have it right here." Jonouchi glared. "No...not falling for it." But then his eyes looked at the cup. "Are you sure?" Jonouchi cracked. He picked up the cup and there was the die and just as Otogi said he grabbed the die without picking up the cup. I glared. "You cheat! That was just a low trick you just played!" even Yugi snapped at Otogi. "Jonouchi...you don't have to do what he says...that was a low trick." Otogi smirked at me. "Do you want to try and play a game with me then?" I blushed. I thought about how Yami use to ask the same thing before a shadow game. I just looked away. "What wrong afraid of loosing?" that hit a nerve, as lady Hawk I would never turn down a challenge. "No.I'm just afraid of embarrassing you in front of your groupies." The other three girls didn't like that I said that and gave me a horrific look. But Otogi didn't look at all phased. "Okay then...you like card game don't you?"
"Of course...especially duel monster...if that is the challenge then bring it on. If you dare." Then He took out four cards. "Of course if you win...then Jonouchi doesn't have to do what I say...but if I win...then You have to be my date." I cringed. "Was that suppose to be a pickup line? Cause that is the worst line ever." I looked over and saw Yami's spirit looking really pissed off. "Don't worry Yami...He won't win...I got this covered."
"If he win...I will personally kick his ass for making such a disgusting offer..." I looked back at Otogi. "Okay then...what is the game?"
"Okay so I have four aces...two black and two red...the goal is to get either black and black or red and red. You pick two at the same time and you win." I thought this sounded a little fair. I mean that gave me a fifty- fifty chance right? I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and picked two. Otogi flipped then over and they turned out to be one red and one black. "What!?"
"Looks like I win..."
"No!Let me try again!" there was no way I was going to date this bastard! But I chose after he shuffled and it was wrong again. "What!? Not again!" Otogi smirked. "Looks like fate wants us together."
"Forget it lover boy! There is no way!" I stood up and glared. Otogi walked up to me and smirked. "You knows the rules of a bet...you have to comply."
"I..." I looked down. I was a woman of honor. "Kisimra...you don't need to listen to him." Yugi and the rest of the gang try to say but I just gave them a frown. "I got myself in this mess...might as well suck it up and take it like a woman." Otogi rested his arm on my shoulders. "Now do as I say and stay mute, you are prettier when you are quiet." I glared. "And don't give me that defiant look."
"THAT IS ENOUGH OTOGI! GET YOUR ARM OFF HER!" I looked up and saw that Yami had taken over and he looked pissed. Otogi smirked. "Oh...I must have hit a sore nerve. Yugi right?"
"Yea...you have some really balls for harassing Kisismra right in front of me."
Yami's POV
I walked up to Kisimra's side and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I promise I'll get you out of this mess."
"Yami but I..."
"Leave it to me." I gave her a reinsuring smile. Then turned my attentions to Otogi. "I'll play a game." Just then Yugi gave a worried look. "Yami...I don't think you should play the four ace game with him."
"Oh...you noticed as well...that's good."
"Hu?"
"This is a bar bet that Otogi pulled." Yugi gave me a confused look. "Bar bet?"
"Basically that game is set up to look like a fair game but is not. Look at it as picking one card at a time...when you get one card...then there is a one out of three chance to get the second card...giving the favor to the one who set up the game." Otogi smirked. "So are we playing four aces?"
"Sort of...but I want that joker card in as well...and lets change the rules up...who ever gets the joker is the loser." Otogi flinched at my offer. "fine.."
"I'll go first." I picked the ace of hearts. The as we took turns I got ace of hearts and clubs. "Okay...show your hand. I have hearts and clubs."
"spades and joker..." Otogi said in distaste. "looks like I one. So now Kisimra doesn't have to date you."
"I want a rematch!" I just took up the cards and reshuffled them. "Okay...I'll let you go first since I went first last time." We took a card one at a time and the same thing happened. I had spades and hearts and Otogi had diamonds and joker. "I lost again!" then he glared at me. "You set me up! This was a bar bet game wasn't it!" Kisimra gave me an odd look. "Bar Bet?"
"Basically he set you up with an unfair chance." I glared. "You bastard!" then I continued. "but the game I just set up was fair...there is only a one out of five chance to draw the Joker...if the joker was left in the middle...then it will always be a draw..." Otogi glared. He knew I was right and that it was a fair game. "Otogi...don't ever try to cheat my friends again...you won't win in the end." I glared as he walked away.
Yugi's POV
Anzu, Ryou, and I were waiting for Jonouchi at the new gameshop. "Hey Yugi...why didn't Kisimra come?"
"She said she didn't want to deal with clowns and had to do some grocery shopping for mom." Anzu sighed. "I guess...is she alright from yesterday?"
"Yea...I think that was the other reason why she wouldn't come." Just then Jonouchi came. "Sorry I'm late guys...my paper route got booked." Anzu glared. "Nope...you get to go to the back of the line."
"Aww quite teasing Anzu." I just smiled, that was Anzu and Jonouchi for you. I then looked over at my home and frowned. "you know...our game shop looks like a ghost town and that is just sad..." Yami appeared next to me. "Ghost town?"
"Don't worry about it Yami it is just a phrase."
"No I meant it would have to be more than one empty building to be a ghost town."
"Again...just a saying." I then looked over to my friends. "Okay...since technically I'm not suppose to be here because this is our store rival...please don't tell grandpa. When I get news of a new game I just have to check it out." I didn't notice the odd face Anzu, Jonouchi, and Ryou gave me as I continued to talk. "I also have to admit...grandpa is an old fashion man and that might be a reason for our slow business lately." Just then Yami appeared and even he had a odd look. "Yugi...I'd shut up now..."
"Why?"
"Just turn around..." I looked over my shoulder and saw that my Grandfather was right behind me. His face was as red as a tomato. "Yugi...you...you...YOU LITTLE BACKSTABBER!" then I was saved by the bell and as the store opened, it was a bomb rush to get into the store and the crowed shoved me away from Jonouchi, Anzu, and Ryou. "Oh man...this crowd is huge...I don't think that I'll get that new game..." just then that clown from yesterday came up and helped me to the front of the line. "Uh...Thanks." then as soon as the clown left, two officers walked up. "Excuse me but you'll have to come with us young man."
"wait what?" they literally picked me up and carried me to the back room. As soon as they sat me down in a chair. They handcuffed me. "Okay...we know you tried to steal." I was shocked. "Steal!? I've never steal anything in my life! How dare you accuse me of such a thing!" they took my grey vest and my Millennium puzzle. Yami's spirit form appeared next to it and he looked just as confused as I was. "Y...Yugi what the ...hell...going on?..." I could barely hear him now since I didn't have the puzzle on but at least I could see him. The officers glared at me. "Never steal anything you say? How do you explain this in your pocket?" there was a bag with that new game in my pocket and I had no clue how it got there. "WHAT!? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" just then that clown guy came in. "Looks like an innocent face can't hide the ugly side in you." He held my puzzle and Yami looked as if he was going to snap. "B...Be careful with that! It's really special to me!"
"If you admit your fault in this crime then I will give back the puzzle." I glared at him. "I am not confessing to something I didn't do!"
"Then you'll need to be punished." I was picked up and thrown into a dark room.
Yami's POV
As those officers shoved Yugi away from me, could feel the puzzle's hold on me. I couldn't go after Yugi to make sure he was okay and I was angry that I couldn't. As chains are used to hold a dog, that clown man held the puzzle and he had a horrible grin on his face. "This time my vengeance will be sweet." I looked around for anything I could manipulate but then I froze when he whispered to himself. "The Rare hunters will be proud for the puzzle's destruction and the destruction of the King's soul." King? Who's the King?
