Author Note: Here it is after nearly two years the newest chapter of this story! It is an Episode with its own duels. Since I suck at writing duels I found a solution which makes it easy for me. I hope you will still enjoy this story even without big duels. Also, I use it from now on the Japanese dub since it's way better than the 4Kids dub. I highly recommend reading the past chapters, because I corrected them and deleted or added new things. Shout out to all who didn't give up on my story, we are back and better than ever! So Enjoy!


Chapter 7: Getting more Star Chips

"So...how it's going on your side Anzu-Chan?", asked Maja happily into the Walkie-Talkie, while in the background Sehrazat aka. Afya was demolishing her current duel victim with her Dark Magician Girl.

"Well, Maja-Chan, Jonouchi has two Starchips, while Yugi has five!", told her Anzu cheerfully.

Then the Schariq Sisters shouted in celebration, meaning Sehrazat /Afya won.

Good!

Awesome!

"Hear that Anzu-Chan?", mussed Maja. "This means Sehra-Chan won and now has five Star Chips too."

The other girl giggled and Maja couldn't help but sign dreamy.

Anzu had a pretty laugh.

"What about Kihana-Chan?"

"Hana-Chan has six."

"Do you think we should meet up, Maja-Chan?"

"I will ask the others, but I think it's time we meet up again."

Both said bye to each other before Maja jogged back up to her friends.

Sehrazat was again in control of her body and put her new Star Chips on her Dueling Glove.

"Maja-Nee!", was Sadiye who took note of her first. "What did Anzu-San said?"

"Yugi has like Sehra five Star Chips and Jonouchi now two. You are in the lead Hana-Chan."

Kihana just rolled her eyes playful. It was a competition, but not under friends.

For now.

"Can we meet up again with the others?", asked Sehrazat in the round.

"Is someone missing their crush.", teased Maja, making Sehrazat bashful and the Schariq Sisters giggle quietly.

"You are one to talk Maja-Chan!", shouted Sehrazat grinning back. "I even heard from the Duel Platform how you were signing dreamily because of Anzu."

Now it was Maja's turn to be bashful.

"You both are hopeless.", stated Sadiye laughing.

Maja and Sehrazat deadpanned at the little black-haired girl.

"Let's forget your Lovelifes for a second.", began the white-haired beauty Kihana. "I think we can meet up with the guys. We made all good progress."

This made her little sister frown.

"Joey has only TWO.", she reminded them.

"The day is still young.", disagreed the holder of the Milliunuim Fragment. "Jonouchi-Kun will get soon more Star Chips."

"If you say so, Sehra-Nee."

"Then it's decided, I will give Anzu-Chan a call!"

After a bit of frustrating where-the-heck-are-you-guys, the girls managed to meet up with Yugi's group.

All were happy to see each other.

Strange how they grow so close after this short time.

Maja took Anzu by the arm, both talking about how glad they were to see each other again...and maybe Maja flirted a bit, which made Anzu blush.

Jonouchi and Honda talked with Kihana congratulating her on her six Star Chips, while trying to hit on her, but the white-haired beauty just ignored the flirts.

Sadiye held the hand of her big sister and mouthed at them "pathetic", which of course made the boys blush embarrassed.

"Yugi-Kun.", greeted Sehrazat the boy softly. "Congrats on your five Star Chips."

"You too, Sehrazat-Chan.", he talked just as softly back to her. "It was without a question you would win."

This made Sehrazat giggle shy and batting her eyelashes at Yugi, who of course turned red, yet couldn't help to smile tenderly at her.

Unknown to them their two Spirits were watching this exchange.

Gods, these two were adorable.

Afya wanted to pinch both their cheeks, while Yami wanted to help Yugi with Sehrazat.

However, both Spirit saw how the other was out of their Milliumim Item.

Smiling flirtatious Afya waved Yami over to her.

He was at her side in a second.

"Eager, are we?", purred Afya.

Wordless Yami took one of her hands and gave it a sweet kiss.

This made Afya gasp.

She felt herself getting hot by the touch of his lips on her skin.

"To be in your lovely presence again is worth it to make a fool out of myself.", purred now Yami back.

Afya giggled, a sound Yami already adored and gripped him by his jacket collar.

"You are a charmer."

"Only because you are so damn charming, beautiful Afya."

Bashful, yet still with a flirtatious smile, Afya leaned over and gave him a cheek kiss.

Yami swore his skin was burning!

The fire of desire in him who had slept so long roared to life.

Afya felt quite the same.

Both stared into each other eyes, seeing the same desire and lust for the other in them.

By Ra, it was insane.

Yes, they were married once.

However, neither could remember it or the other.

It was unique to feel already so attracted to each other.

Mmh...maybe their minds forgot...but not their hearts.

Sadly they couldn't go further, since both felt the tug of their respective Millennium Item.

Yugi, Sehrazat and their friends were moving again.

This meant they had to return to their Millennium Items. They were called back in it.

With a last smile for the other, they each return to their Spirit Chambers.

Of course not knowing they had interrupted a moment between their Yami's Yugi and Sehrazat walked and talked with their friends.

They were doing good with their hunt for the Star Chips.

Sure Joey only had two, however, this would probably change soon.

"There you are, Faizan!", growled a male voice behind the group.

All turned around and-

"Paulo Ramirez!", shouted Sehrazat and Kihana together.

This Paulo was a tanned boy with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a simple red jacket over a white T-shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.

"Ah, so you do remember me you hoe's!"

All the girls gasped affronted and the guys got angry on behalf of their female friends.

"Yo, what's your problem man?!", shouted Joey, waving his fist around. "You don't talk to girls like that and no one talks to my friends this way!"

"Oh shut up blondie! It doesn't concern you!"

"Since you insult our friends it does!", adds Honda, seeming ready to knock the light out of Paulo.

At the same moment, Paulo rolled his eyes.

"Got yourself some bodyguards or what Faizan?", he asked Sehrzat directly, ignoring Joey and Honda's shouts for his head.

Feeling Afya's presence beside her, which gave her courage, Sehrazat stepped forward.

"Ramirez, what do you want?", she hissed. "You are Europe Champion now, you won!"

This angered Paulo: "I won only because you and Schariq moved to Japan. Everywhere I go, all tell me how you are the true Europe Champion and I'm just a fraud! But this ends now!"

"How so?"

"I challenge you to a duel! I will beat you and prove I'm the true European Champion. Your win in the finals was just luck."

What now happened made Yugi's group think they were hallucinating...from one moment to another Sehrzat seemed to grow, gain more womanly curves and even her hair reached her bottom.

What was even crazier, her friends didn't seem to care for Sehrazat's sudden chance, even when Sehrazat spoke in a more mature voice: "Very well, Ramirez. I will duel you and do us all a favour to kick you out of this tournament."

Gleeful Ramirez led Sehrazat to the next Dueling Station, where both got ready to duel.

"Is it just me...", mumbled Anzu. "Or is Sehrazat suddenly...different?"

"Nah, Anzu, you are right, something is up. She looks kinda older and hotter now.", agreed Joey.

"Kinda like when Yugi duels.", pointed Honda out.

The Schariq Sister and Maja held their breath, curious if their new friends would see more similarities and maybe finally ask Yugi what's up with him when he duels...yet nothing.

They just accepted it and stared at the Duel Station.

All three girls facepalmed hard.

Sadiye was the first to end the facepalm and her red eyes fell on Yugi.

Huh?

Interesting.

Yugi was staring and staring at Afya and holding his Milliunim Puzzle.

Other than his friends Yugi had "felt" how a moment Sehrazat was there and now...there was this woman in her body?

It made no sense, yet it did.

Didn't...didn't he feel like this too, when he dueled?

Like there was someone older and wiser than him in his body, helping him?

When the duel ended, he needed to talk with Sehrazat!

He needed answers.

After shuffling their decks both opponents were ready.

The price was three Starchips, which meant if Afya won her and Sehrazat would have 8 Star Chips and Ramirez would get kicked out of the tournament.

He was so obsessed with his revenge, that he barged all his Star Chips.

So sure he would win.

Well, Afya would gladly show him the door, no one calls her children hoes!

The duel started well for Afya she had a strong defence with her Amazoness and was making Shish Kebab out of Ramirez Warrior Monsters.

Unknown to all, Ramirez planned for this.

When it seemed he was done for he used a rare spell card which destroyed all of Afya's Monsters and left her with merely a few Life Points.

All her friends gasped.

"Oh no, Sehrazat!", shouted Anzu for her new friend.

"That bastard tricked her into summoning all these Monsters to destroy them with one shot!", spat Joey angrily.

"Guy's calm down.", called Kihanan, having a serene expression on her face. "Afya and Sehrazat aren't done for."

Yugi and his friends blinked confused.

"Afya, who is Afya?"

It was Sadiye who answered with a little smirk.

"The Spirit of the Milliuim Fragment and Sehrazat Ancestor. Afya is cool, she is like a mom to all of us."

"And when Sehra and Afya battle together.", began Maja grinning. "No one stands a chance...look at Afya."

Indeed Yugi's group did and Sehrazat or Afya just looked with a regale expression down on Ramirez.

She didn't seem troubled at all.

"Why are you looking at me like that!", growled Ramirez, spit flying from his mouth. "You are done for Faizan, the chance that you draw a Monster to defeat my Gem-Knight Crystal is zero!"

Gem-Knight Crystal: ATK 2450/DEF1950

From Afya came just a tiny laugh.

"You were so fixed on your revenge that you didn't look at the card I placed my last turn."

Shocked Ramirez checked.

Indeed there was a card face down!

Oh no, what was it?!

"And other than you I believe in my cards, I know they will answer my call."

Elegant she drew the card which would make her win or lose the game.

Anyone stopped breathing.

Afya looked at the card, a smile on her face.

"I summon...The Dark Magician Girl!"

"Dark Magician Girl?!", repeated, not only Ramirez but also Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda surprised.

Yugi gasped also quite shocked.

The Dark Magician Girl appeared on the playing field with sparkles twirling around before she posed protectively before Afya and sent Ramirez a challenging look.

Dark Magician Girl: ATK 2000/DEF1700

"You didn't have her in your deck before.", reminded Ramirez. "But she is still too weak to beat my Gem-Knight Crystal..."

He trailed off, seeing the calm expression on Afya's face and remembered...!

"Your face down card?!"

The once Queen of Egypt flipped it up.

"It's the magic card Magic Formula which raises the attack points of my Dark Magician Girl to 2700!"

Dark Magician Girl: ATK 2700/DEF1700

Gem-Knight Crystal: ATK 2450/DEF1950

"And now my dear Dark Magician Girl, let's finish this! Dark Burning Attack!"

The Dark Magician Girl twirled her staff and sent her magic attack at Ramirez's monster, destroying it and leaving him with zero life points!

His loud wail could be heard from miles.

"I never thought there was a female Dark Magician.", gasped Anzu. "And she is so pretty."

Somehow this made Maja feel shy...she wonders why?

"Some say who has a Dark Magician and another a Dark Magician Girl are Soul Mates since both cards are the strongest as a pair.", told Kihana the little legend around these cards, which she know because of her grandparents.

"Oh really...?", sing-song Joey and Honda together, both wiggling their eyebrows at the blushing Yugi.

"Oh does Yugi-San have a Dark Magician?", asked Sadiye excited.

Jonouchi and Honda nodded and now Sadiye was grinning also, while Kihana's shock amused he had, Maja still thought about what Anzu said about the Dark Magician Girl and why she reacted to it and Anzu realized...that Maja and the Duel Monster card looked quite alike.

Huh?

More time to think about it Anzu didn't get because Sehrazat or Afya walked up to them.

"Your Majesty.", greeted her Kihana. "As always an amazing duel."

"Where is the slimeball?", asked Maja.

"Took off after he threw his Star Chips down.", explained Afya. "What a pitiful man."

Then Afya walked up to Yugi and smiled down at him.

Now no one could avoid the truth.

Sehrazat was tinier than Yugi, now she was taller.

So...this was really somebody else in her body!

"Yugi Muto.", said Afya and gave him a kind smile. "It's nice to meet you my boy and of course, you Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda."

"Are you really a spirit, like Sadiye-Chan said?", asked Anzu astonished, while Joey mumbled something about crazy ghost mumbo-jumbo.

"I was once a great Queen of Egypt, now I have lived in the Milliunm Fragment for a good 3000 years. Sehrazat is my descendant, my flesh and blood, we share her body."

Yugi and his friends let out surprised gasps.

Afya just smiled regal at them.

"Yugi, if you ever have a question just ask me...I know quite a bit of the Milliunm Item and about your puzzle."

And with that Afya and Sehrazat changed places.

Sehrazat grinned at her flabbergasted new friends: "So do you like my Gran-Gran?"

(*)

A while later we find our big friend group in a meadow where they have taken a break.

They had a lot of discussion.

"What you told us...", hummed Anzu with a finger on her chin. "It sounds like a folktale."

"I'm surprised Sehra's family could keep the Millium Fragment safe for 3000 years, that's amazing.", shares Honda his thoughts.

Yugi had a thoughtful look on his face as he gripped his puzzle.

"I admit... sometimes it's like I hear another voice in my head or feel another presence beside mine...but to think that Afya's husband's soul is in the puzzle is just..."

"Crazy?", chorused everyone.

The short duelist nodded.

"Yugi-Kun, don't worry about this now.", assured him Sehrazat. "I had weeks to get used to Afya...I'm sure you will find a way to talk to the pharaoh when you are ready. And if you ever need help, you can ask Gran-Gran."

Relieved Yugi nodded.

He really needed time to understand all this.

Also, he was a bit scared to meet his lodger. Not because he thought the pharaoh might be evil, not if he always helped him, just...it made all that the girls told him true.

How Pegasus tournament and saving Grandpa's soul was just a tiny problem against saving the whole world from destruction.

One problem at a time.

"Alright guys!", jumped Jonouchi up from the ground and raised his fist in the air. "We still have work to do, for now, let's get this Star Chips, so we can enter the castle!"

Kihana nodded.

"Jonouchi is right, let us concentrate on the things we can do and not on the things that might happen."

All agreed and so the group started walking again.

(*)

"I still can't believe it!", whisper-shouted Sehrazat to Kihana. "Mimi Kawaii! THE Mimi Kawaii, my favourite idol is here and she doesn't want to duel me!"

After our friends left the meadow they stumbled over Idol Mimi Kawaii with her two bodyguards.

Apparently, her management wanted Mimi to be a duelist too, since Duel Monster was so in trend right now.

Good publicity, you know?

But Sehrzat didn't care for this she had asked for an autograph and Mimi had given her one!

Aaaah!

Then Mimi actually challenged Joey to a duel.

This had made Sehrazat sad.

Since Mimi was so beautiful Joey got distracted so easily by her flirts that he made one mistake after another, which made all facepalm and Anzu declaring him a horny horndog.

However, Joye got back into the game as it showed how Mimi had no real idea what she was doing.

She merely had cuteys monsters in her deck and tried with her flirts to distract her opponents.

Not a good strategy for long, when you face someone who fought for his sister.

So in the end Joey won and earned three Star Chips.

Mimi apologized for her tricks...she actually didn't want to participate in the tournament and only got in thanks to her manager.

Singing was her passion, not Duel Monsters.

Sehrazat told her she should follow her passion and not be the puppet of her management.

It showed she didn't like Duel Monsters, it only would anger her fanbase if she pretended to be someone she wasn't.

For this not only Sehrazat got a thank you from Mimi, but also a hug.

She nearly fainted!

The idol and the bodyguards left them and our friends were again in eight.

Together they looked at their gloves.

Sehrazat had 8 Star Chips.

Kihana six.

And Joey and Yugi five each.

It was going good for them.

So they decide to find some more people to duel.

The day was still young after all.
