Review time!

Tobyk947: I would like to thank you for all of your kind reviews. They made me smile. Here's an update!

GothicBloodSatanist: Normally I would let a review like this slide but I decided to reply to this. First off, I didn't exactly name the character after myself; she only has my first name. You don't know me so you can't say that kind of stuff and expect yourself to be right. Second, I don't have any marysues. All my characters have their own flaws. Third, I have not disregarded everyone else. Fourth, donotinsultmyOCs. Me being pathetic is just your opinion, no it doesn't, and I do not tolerate people like you dissing my reviewers. If you don't like my story then just don't read it. Pish off.

Reaper-of-Lost-Souls: Thank you so much! I'm a fan of the evil characters myself and here's the chapter for you! :D

Patriot16: Sounds fair, I'll continue writing.

Unique Art: Thanks you soooooo much! Your review made me smile so much I hope this next chapter is good enough for you!

Lightest'Ink: Your welcome! Thanks! I suppose your right, but do they have hot maple syrup on them? OW IT BURNS! Lol, here it is.

Well thank you all so much again here's chapter 6!

From chapter 5…

She closed her now gray eyes and lay back down. I guess I should try to sleep.

I just hope I don't have another nightmare like last night… she sighed inwardly.

Joey quietly crossed his small living room on his way to the even smaller kitchen. He had just woken up from a bad dream about being eaten by rabid waffles. (That's for you Lightest'Ink and DarkestInk) He passed by the couch and glanced down at the girl lying on it.

She was looking up at him with a smile on her face. Does she sleep like that? She didn't do that yesterday… Joey mused. "Hi Joey!" she greeted happily. He practically jumped out of his skin, "Nyyeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!! I thought you were asleep!" he exclaimed. She began to giggle at his reaction. He then turned back to what he had been doing before. He stalked into the kitchen and threw open the fridge. It was empty. Joey panicked as he did the same things for the cupboards. They were all empty. Oh yeah. I ate the last bag of potato chips and drank the last root beer last night. He threw his head back and screamed, "NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!" he dropped to his knees and held his head in his hands.

Cori came rushing in and crouched down beside the blonde. "What? What's wrong Joey? Are you okay? What's happened?!" she asked frantically. He looked up, his eyes watering slightly. "I'm outta food," he answered, hanging his head. The raven-haired girl sweat dropped and stood up. "Um, there is a café at the end of the block. We could go there for breakfast. I'll buy," she offered.

Joey seemed to think for a moment before jumping up. "Sounds good, but are you sure you wanna buy?" he asked.

"Joey please, it's the least I can do," she replied smoothly. She trotted over to her clothing bags and rummaged inside. "Just lemme get dressed," she muttered taking out her new pair of boots, a purple shirt, and a pair of black jeans. She raced into the bathroom and reemerged minutes later to find Joey waiting for her in his sneakers, blue jeans, white T-shirt, and green jacket. "Finally I was beginning to think you got lost," he joked opening the door. Cori rolled her eyes and grinned following him out.

Joey squinted his brown orbs as the sunlight hit the two teens. "Is that Tristin up there?" Cori asked as they came to their destination. Joey followed her gaze to a table where a pointy haired boy was sitting reading a newspaper. "Oi! Tristin!" Joey called. The boy turned and looked at them with a grin, confirming that the person was indeed Tristin Taylor. Cori waved as Joey bounded over to his friend. "Hey Joey, hey Cori!" he greeted as Cori came up to the duo.

"I didn't know you read the newspaper Tristin," Cori commented, sitting down in one of the three chairs around the round wooden table. "I don't usually but today there is some interesting stuff in there," he responded. "Like what?" Joey inquired taking the last seat. Tristin flipped the paper over so the other two could see the front page. "Duelist Kingdom? What's that?" Joey asked as Cori excused herself.

"It seems to be a duel monsters tournament. And then the next page talks about Yugi," he answered. "Yug's in the newspaper?" Joey wondered out loud. Tristin nodded and handed the paper to Joey. Joey's eyes scanned the paper as a grin formed on his face. "Yugi Moto defeats Kaiba Corporation CEO Seto Kaiba?" he read. Tristin nodded again, taking a sip of his latte'. Cori returned a couple minutes later, balancing two more lattes and three banana walnut muffins expertly. The set them down and took her seat. Joey and Tristin grinned at her as she pushed a muffin in from of each of them. "Thanks," they said in unison. "No problem," she answered pushing one of the lattes in front of Joey.

Joey took a large swig and gave the newspaper to Cori. "Duelist Kingdom sounds like a blast! I wish I could go. That'd be wicked…" she murmured. We'll have to get onto the boat somehow without anybody noticing, she thought. Cori glanced over to the two boys to see them shove the rest of their muffins into their mouths. She cringed with slight disgust. "Eww," she said. "Do you guys wanna go for a walk?" Joey asked his friends casually after swallowing. "Sure. Are you coming Tristin?" Cori replied. "Yeah, there's a great park a couple blocks away. We could go there," Tristin suggested, getting up and throwing away his trash. The others agreed to go and they were soon on their way to the park. "How can the streets be this crowded so early in the morning?" Cori wondered out loud. "I don't know. Now that you mention it I never really thought about it before. It's sometimes a lot easier and way faster to get around on my motorbike." Tristin answered as Joey yelled at the sixth person that bumped into him.

"Watch where you're going ya nimrod!"

Suddenly someone ran right into Cori knocking her to the ground. Her wallet slid across the sidewalk to her right, while her half finished latte spilled out on the street to her left. The man that had run into her was wearing a black jacket and jeans. He bent over, picked up her wallet, and abruptly ran off. That ass hole! Cori screamed inside her head. She then proceeded to run after the jerk that stole from her. "Hey, that's my wallet!" she cried out.

Joey and Tristin spun around and saw their friend chasing a man. It took a second for the duo to process what was going on but when they did they bolted after the thief. He and Tristin quickly caught up to Cori, who was out of breath and leaning against a wall for support. "Where'd he go?" Tristin asked. Cori pointed off in the distance to a man that was running through a large crowd.

"Stay here!" Joey ordered as he and Tristin began to chase him again. "Damn I haven't run that fast since the 9th grade P.E. final," she wheezed.

"Cori?" someone asked from behind her. She turned around to see Jordan Hotaru running up to her. "Are you okay? What happened?" she questioned grabbing Cori's arm. Cori's appearance was disheveled. Her black hair that was normally tidy was now matted to her head with sweat and her dull blue eyes were glaring at the wall holding her up. "Some jackass stole my wallet and now Joey and Tristin are chasing him," she explained breathlessly. After a couple seconds, Jordan got her to start breathing regularly.

"Where's Sam?" she inquired. Jordan smiled and let go of Cori's arm. She then leaned against the wall next to her. "Erin called Tea's today, she said she wanted to hang out with Sam. I was thinking about following them but I decided to go for a walk instead. I'm trying to find an apartment for myself or maybe a house that the six of us could live in together. That'd be cool. I don't exactly love living with Tea', even if Sam's there to keep me from losing my mind," she replied smoothly. "Oh," she mumbled. Cori looked over to her left but couldn't see the thief or her two friends.

After a couple more minutes of just standing there she spoke again. "I had a nightmare the first night we came here," she mentioned casually. Jordan turned to her, face masked with indifference. On the inside she was practically having a heart attack though and her mind whirled. "Really? What about?" she asked. Cori turned to look at her as well and she looked angry about something. "Don't pull that stuff on me Jordan. I can tell what your really feeling. And I know you had one two nights ago too. Spill, what was yours about?" she demanded. J

ordan was slightly taken aback; but why? Cori was the one that could always tell how anyone was feeling, it was a strange and sometimes annoying part of her personality. She sighed and looked away. "It's confusing-" she began. "I don't care," Cori answered. J

ordan let out another sigh and told her all the details of her dream. She finished with saying, "-and then the door burst open. I never got the chance to see who it was. The girls…their names were Akila and Mert. And they looked like us." The last statement sent shivers down their spines. Before Cori could reply Joey and Tristin rushed up to the two of them. Joey was carrying her wallet. He handed it to the raven-haired teen and grinned. "We caught him just a couple minutes ago. He was just some punk kid that felt like stealing from someone," he explained. The two boys had clearly not noticed their friends' companion. "Thanks a million you two!" she cried out with relief, embracing them.

"Yeah that's me. Joey the hero," Joey announced pompously. Cori and Tristin laughed while Jordan snorted. "Oh hey Jordan!" Tristin exclaimed, surprised but with a grin. Jordan gave a short wave. "So what exactly happened last night? I mean Tea' just rushed off after a call from one of you saying, "My friends need my support," she asked, a knowing glint in her eye that only Cori noticed.

The two boys grinned again and went on saying what happened. "Well…"

(A/N This is going to be a shorter version of what happened. I'm not good at describing actual duels, but I can write duels that never happened in the seasons. Oh by the way, it's gonna kind of be in Joey's PoV)

Flashback

"Joey!" someone called from behind the duo. Joey turned around from walking home with Cori. "Yugi! What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Joey asked as Yugi ran up to them. "Grandpa's in trouble, I need your help!" he answered quickly. "Cori, I'll be over in a bit, but go back to the apartment and call Tristin!" Joey said, thinking fast. Cori nodded and took Joey's apartment key.

She then sprinted off to call Tristin. Joey and Yugi ran off in the direction of Kaiba Corp. When they got there Tristin and Tea' were waiting anxiously out front for them. Yugi led the way inside, flanked by his best friends. They ran into an elevator and went up a couple floors. When the doors opened, they revealed Grandpa Moto lying motionless on the ground. "Grandpa!" Yugi cried, rushing over to his injured grandfather.

"Grandpa…are you okay?" he asked, kneeling down next to him. "Yugi I failed. I wanted to teach that boy Kaiba a lesson about the heart of the cards but I lost," Grandpa Moto groaned, wincing in pain. "Grandpa…" Yugi repeated for the third time. Suddenly a door opened up and Kaiba walked in. "How's the old man feeling? Hmmm?" he asked. Joey, Tristin, and Tea' rushed into the room as well, glaring at the young CEO. "Kaiba you sleaze what have you done to him?" Joey demanded raising a fist angrily.

Kaiba smirked, "We had a duel that's all, with each of us putting up our most valuable card as the prize. But I guess playing against a champion like myself was too much stimulation for the old fool," he replied with a shrug. The trio's glares darkened and Tea' pointed an accusing finger at him. "Kaiba! You should be ashamed of yourself!" she exclaimed. "It was fair. And look at the sweet prize I won," Kaiba retorted, taking out Grandpa's Blue Eyes card and dramatically ripping it in half.

The other five in the room gasped in shock. "Grandpa's most treasured card!" Yugi stated. "Yes the Blue Eyes White Dragon is a rare and powerful card. And this one will never be used against me," Kaiba announced, letting the two halves fall to the ground. Grandpa rolled over and reached out a hand, "Ah, my Blue Eyes White Dragon! My-my treasure!" he gasped, wincing again.

Yugi glared at the brunette with tears in his eyes and glanced down at his grandfather. "Grandpa hold on. How could you do such a thing?!" he asked in a shaking voice. "Yugi here, take this." Grandpa said, holding his deck out. "Grandpa?" Yugi asked, tears building up in his eyes.

"I built this deck. I put my soul in these cards. And I taught you everything I know Yugi. Take them, take my cards and teach him respect. Teach him respect for the heart of the cards Yugi," Grandpa Moto said with his last dieing breath. (A/N Hehehe, just joking)

"But Grandpa, you need help, I've got to get you to a doctor," Yugi insisted. "Sounds like an excuse. Your friends can care for your grandfather while you and I duel. Unless you're afraid..." Kaiba stated. "Take em' Yugi!" Joey encouraged. The porcupine headed boy turned to his friends who were standing behind him, startled. "We can take care of your Grandpa while you take care of creepy Kaiba. Teach that rich spoiled brat what a real duel's all about," Joey said. "For your Grandpa Yugi!" Tea' added. "Trust me, your like the best player I've ever seen and you've got the Millennium Puzzle. You can do this Yugi! I know you can!" Joey declared. "We all do!" Tea' put in. Yugi nodded and took his grandfather's deck.

"Okay Grandpa, I'll do it," he said with fierce determination. Tea' quickly pulled a marker out of her pocket (A/N WTF? Where the hell did that come from?) and told everyone to put their hands together, "And I'll mark us with a special sign."

She drew a large smiley face on everyone's hand. The boys look at it oddly. "What gives Tea'?" Joey asked. "It's a symbol of our friendship so when Yugi's dueling he'll know he's not alone. We're all right there with him," Tea' explained. This speech seemed to inspire Yugi. An ambulance pulled up outside of Kaiba Corp and Tristin came running out with Grandpa Moto on his back while Joey and Tea' ran along-side him. "Joey, Tristin and I will take Yugi's Grandpa to the hospital, why don't you go back in there and cheer Yugi on," Tea' suggested.

Joey agreed and ran back inside to watch the duel. When Joey was in the dueling arena, Kaiba had Hitotsu-Me Giant on the field while Yugi had the Winged Dragon Guardian Of The Fortress. "Whoa! Monsters!? Real Monsters?!" Joey exclaimed upon seeing the holograms. The giant rushed at Yugi's dragon but before he could even touch it Yugi yelled, "Fire ball attack!"

The dragon prevailed and Kaiba's life points dropped to 1800. Mokuba rushed in yelling, "Big brother! Are you all right?" "Alright! Go Yugi!" Joey cheered. Kaiba played Sagi The Dark Clown and equipped it with Dark Energy to make its attack force 1800. He then attacked Yugi's monster and destroyed, sending Yugi's life points to 1600. Yugi played Sangan in defense mode but it too was wiped out. "Hang in there Yugi!" Joey shouted. Kaiba destroyed two more monsters with his Dark Clown before Yugi summoned Gaia The Dark Knight. Gaia attack Sagi and destroyed him; Kaiba's life points now stood at 1300. "Way to go Yugi!" Joey hollered. "Ha! I call on the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba announced as the monster formed on the field.

Yugi looked surprised and worried while Joey yelled in disbelief, "Impossible! We all watched Kaiba tear that card in half!"

"Surprised? Did you think your Grandfather was the only one to possess a Blue Eyes White Dragon?" Kaiba inquired, sneering.

The dragon attacked, leaving Yugi with 900 life points. Horned Imp and Beaver Warrior were the next monsters to fall to the Blue Eyes. Kaiba smirked and remarked, "Nothing in your entire deck can stand up against a Blue Eyes White Dragon. So what hope do you have against two?" He summoned his second Blue Eyes White Dragon. Yugi looked on in slight distress. He drew a card and played it: Swords Of Revealing Light! Yugi also placed a monster face down, but Kaiba destroyed it with his new monster; Judge Man.

The tri-colored-haired teen attacked with his Dark Magician, reducing Kaiba's still high life points to 1000. Kaiba's third and final Blue Eyes White Dragon soon crushed Yugi's favorite monster though. 400 life points left for Yugi. "You were never a match for me Yugi!" the brunette stated. "Don't listen to him Yugi!" Joey yelled as the Swords Of Revealing Light wore off. Moments later Yugi threw his entire hand down onto the field.

A large and unstoppable monster appeared on Yugi's side of the field. "Exodia! Obliterate!" Yugi ordered strongly.

Kaiba screamed as it wiped out his remaining life points. "You did it! Yugi you won!" Joey exclaimed gleefully. "How could I loose?" Kaiba muttered holding his head in his hands.

"If you truly wish to know Kaiba, open your mind!" Yugi said, thrusting out his hand. Kaiba shuddered before collapsing on the dueling platform.

End Flashback

"He had three Blue Eyes White Dragons?" Jordan asked, faking disbelief. "Yep," Joey replied. "Where's Grandpa now?" Cori asked curiously. "He's back at the Game Shop with Yugi, Megan, and Hannah," Tristin replied. "Cool. So shall we continue onto the park?" Cori inquired. "Sure," Joey said starting to walk away. Cori and Jordan pushed themselves off the wall and followed them, Tristin in the lead.

With Sam and Erin

Erin and Sam walked on in silence, the later glancing every couple minutes at her friend. Erin shoved her hands in her pockets and walked onwards. What should I do? I want to tell Sam so badly but it's just so hard to believe. God what should I- Erin thought before running right into a light pole.

"Damn it," she muttered, putting a hand on her forehead and glaring evilly at the light fixture.

"Erin, we need to talk. You've been so out of it today! There's something bugging you now come on out and tell me. What the hell is wrong with you?" Sam demanded, grabbing hold of Erin's shoulders. Erin met her friends' determined stare with a defiant one. After a couple seconds it wavered slightly and Erin tore her gaze away from Sam. "You know you can tell me anything Erin. We're like sisters, come on and spill," Sam said softly.

"Can we go somewhere more private?" Erin asked so quietly that Sam had to strain to hear her words. "Yeah, of course," she answered looking around to find a deserted place. At last! There was a deserted park just across the street!

Sam pulled a distraught Erin towards it stopping only when they were stuck in a large crowd with a strange man in a black coat running through it. A couple minutes later Joey and Tristin burst through the crowd and chased the man. Sam raised an eyebrow questioningly at the scene, almost wanted to follow them, but she knew she had to help her bud.

Onward then, she thought.

When they were finally seated on a bench Erin opened and closed her mouth several times like a fish. What should I say first? She wondered.

"Erm-well you see last night I…um…after going shopping…my room…Megan and Hannah they-" SMACK! Sam looked at Erin in mild surprise. She had just slapped herself.

"Okay. Last night after we finished going shopping I was in my room. Well I had just finished packing up all my clothes and was lying on my bed. Hannah and Megan were talking in my head and wouldn't stop pestering me. When I entered my own mind we started chatting. I must have fallen off the bed when I zoned out and Ryou came in. I 'woke up' and we began talking. I asked him about his Millennium Ring and he told me the whole story. Then he changed into Bakura and well you know me, being the person that I am was curious. Well he started talking saying stuff like, "Are you afraid of me?" and I told his I wasn't and I asked where Ryou was. He said, "He's locked away inside the ring." He then said, "You don't exactly remember me do you Erin? Or should I call you Layla? It's been a while hasn't it?" He was then standing in front of me and of course I freaked out and then he-"

"He what?" Sam asked. Erin looked down, blushed, looked to both her sides, and then mumbled something.

"What?" Sam inquired. "He kissed me…" Erin mumbled again just louder. Sam's eyes widened. She entered Erin's mind to talk to her. Seriously? She asked. Yeah, was Erin's only response. Sam thought for a moment before asking out loud, "Can you show me the memory?" Erin looked at her strangely. "I don't know if I can. But you do believe me don't you?" she answered faintly.

Sam nodded; Erin would have no reason to lie to her about that. "But why? Why would he kiss you?" she wondered aloud. Erin shrugged and leaned back. "Well that wasn't so bad. What do you want to do now?" she asked with a grin. Sam didn't hear her; she was lost in her thoughts. What if he does it again? I don't want Erin to get hurt… "Hello Sam? Earth to Samantha!" Erin called, waving a hand in front of her friend's blank face.

"Erin?"

"Sam?"

Two people asked at the same time.

The two sister-like friends spun around to see Joey, Tristin, Cori, and Jordan standing behind them. Don't tell anyone! Erin ordered in her head frantically. Sam nodded again and smiled at the four friends. "Ah hello. What are all of you doing here?" she asked.

"We're going for a nice walk in the park, you?" Cori replied, brushing some black hair out of her eyes with a sweep of her hand." "We were just leaving," Erin answered quickly. Jordan shot Sam a 'what were you two talking about?' glance. Later, Sam promised the auburn haired girl in her mind. Jordan fixed her black-rimmed glasses that were slipping off her nose, "So was I. I really should get going, I mean after all I haven't finished my task," she said smoothly. She then proceed to stride out of the park to find a flat.

"Cori, do you know what task she's talking about?" Erin asked curiously. "It has something to do with getting a job or an apartment," Cori responded. Suddenly there was a distant ringing sound. Tristin pulled a ringing cell phone out of his pocket. "Hello?" he answered. "Oh hey Yugi!"

"I didn't know Tristin had a cell phone…" Cori mumbled to the other two girls. Sam just shrugged as Erin decided she should go out looking for a flat as well.

"Yeah, that sounds great. I'll be there!" Tristin spoke, "Bye." Joey looked at his friend, not wanting to be out of the circle. "What did Yug want?" he wondered. "Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood are going to be dueling tonight on live television. He wants us to come over so we can all watch it together," Tristin replied, snapping his phone shut and stuffing it in a pocket. "Well I'll see you guys later, I think I'm going to follow Jordan's plan and look for a place. Or a job…" Erin said waving goodbye and walking off.

Sam shrugged and ran after her friend. "Can I come?" Cori asked hopefully. "Sure!" Joey said with a grin.

She seemed to be the only one to think about what was going to happen that night. In episode 2 of the first season of YuGiOh, Rex and Weevil dueled…and Grandpa lost his soul. The girls needed to find a way to get on the ship. They had to get into Duelist Kingdom.

Alas! The truth will set you free! Erin told Sam! What's going to happen now? Sorry it took long to update, I've been busy trying to do everything in the last couple weeks of summer that I haven't done yet. Please review review review! :D Thanks for reading, and it might be a while till I update again.
