Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Double Identity ❯ Possess ( Chapter 16 )

(Meira: Damn writer's block…

Yami: You should take a break.

Meira: Good idea… *goes to turn off computer*

Yami: I meant later.

Meira: =.=

Yami: Meira doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Saéka Mizuki, Riruka Takahashi, Kai Hiwatari, or Dranzer. She does own any other original characters though. Leila, for example.

Meira: Yup. ^-^ Lucky for GLTB, the first real duel will be held in this chapter!

Yami: Then why'd you call this chapter `Possess?'

Meira: You'll find out…

// Thoughts //)

~~Saéka's POV~~

//Find the Pharaoh.//

"What's wrong?" Kai asked.

"Nothing," I muttered, ignoring the voice.

//I said, find the Pharaoh!//

"Shut up," I muttered impatiently.

"Well sorry for being worried about you," Kai muttered, annoyed.

"Not you," I said. "That dumb voice that keeps on telling me to `Find the Pharaoh.' What the hell?"

"Pharaoh?" Kai asked, sounding confused. "Aren't those in… Babylonia or something like that?

"You're a couple generations behind," I laughed. "They're from Egypt." I shook my head. "What did they teach you in Wisconsin?"

"Not much…" Kai replied, his face turning red. "They're cheese heads, you know." [Meira: *hides from Wisconsin residents and stuff like that* Sorry! I live in Chicago… so… basically… I grew up learning that Wisconsin people are cheese heads… *cough cough*]

"Oh, that's real nice," I scoffed.

"HEY!" a voice shouted. I turned to see a guy with a duel disk on his arm, pointing at me.

"What now?" I sighed. "What do you want?"

"To duel," the guy smirked. "You are wearing a duel disk, aren't you?"

//Do not waste time on this person, find the Pharaoh!//

"Of course I am!" I replied, ignoring that voice. "And… I'll duel you, despite the fact that I'll crush you in minutes, if not seconds."

The guy's face darkened. "I'll have you know that I am a top-ranked duelist! I came in second in the Canada Championships!"

"Are you sure that it was second place, and you're not just second rate?" I laughed, mocking him. [Meira: Thank you to Duke Devlin for that remark. To see where he says that, refer to the Dungeon Dice Monster episodes.]

"Of course I'm not!" the guy yelled through gritted teeth. "Are you going to duel or what?"

"Hm," I smirked, activating my duel disk. (The Guy: 4000/Saéka: 4000)

"I'll start off this duel," I said, drawing my first card. Not a bad first hand. I had a Disgraceful Charity, Magical Academy, Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700), Wingweaver (2750/2400), and Gemini Elf (1900/900.) I drew my card. Water Pon (300/200) Pretty good.

"I start off by summoning Water Pon in Defense Mode," I smirked. "And next I summon my Gemini Elf in Attack Mode!"

"You can't do that!" he yelled.

"But Water Pon's special ability allows it to be summoned as soon as I draw it," I replied. "And now I lay two cards face down."

"Grr…" he began.

"What's the matter?" I mocked. "Don't have any monsters?"

"Course not!" he yelled. "I summon my Bistro Butcher (1800/1000) in attack mode! Now attack her Water Pon!" [Meira: Is he dense or what?]

"I activate my trap card!" I shouted. "Magical Academy!"

"What is that?" the guy screeched, looking scared.

"This card allows me to switch my Water Pon for the Dark Magician Girl in my hand," I smirked. "Dark Magician Girl, attack his Bistro Butcher!" (The Guy: 3800)

"Now," I laughed. "Your monster's gone. It looks like you failed, … What exactly is your name?"

"Alex," he said through gritted teeth. [Meira: Those of you who are in my school… sound familiar?]

"Alex," I smirked. "Sounds like a stalker that I knew… his name was Alec."

Alex looked furious.

"I summon my Kuriboh (300/200) in defense mode," he muttered. "And that's it."

"Great," I laughed. "So you can't even summon a decent monster?"

"If I had any decent monsters in my hand, I'd have summoned them by now!" he yelled.

"How many locater cards do you have?" I asked, remembering that I didn't know.

"Four," he replied proudly. Great… it seemed like I had just inflated his (probably oversized) ego.

"How many people did you pay off?" I asked, ridiculing him.

"I WON THEM FAIR AND SQUARE!" he screamed, sounding furious and stupid.

"Great…" Kai muttered. "Looks like a guy who bribed his way up to the top."

I laughed.

"Now," I said, regaining my composure. "I summon Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) in attack mode. Attack his Kuriboh!"

"And now," I smirked. "I replay Water Pon in defense mode."

"I summon my Bronze Knight in defense mode," he mumbled. "And I place one card face down."

"I now sacrifice my Dark Witch and my Water Pon to bring out this!" I shouted. "Wingweaver!"

"Great…" Alex mumbled, clearly bowing to his inevitable defeat.

"Gemini Elf, attack his Bronze Knight!"

"And now," I laughed. "Your time has come. Wingweaver and Dark Magician Girl, attack his Life Points directly!"

"I play Waboku!" he yelled. "It cancels out your Wingweaver's attack!"

"For one turn," I replied. "But my Magician can still attack." (Alex: 1800)

"Now I play Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1000) in defense mode," he said. "I bought myself some time."

"Not really," I laughed. "Gemini Elf, attack his Magnet Warrior!"

"And now," I smirked. "This duel is over! Wingweaver and Dark Magician Girl, attack his life points directly!" (Alex: 0)

I walked over to him. "Hand over your locator cards and your rarest card," I smirked.

"Here," he mumbled, handing me four locator cards and a Dark Magician.

A DARK MAGICIAN?!?!

"You had a Dark Magician?" I asked, stunned.

"Usually I have time to play it," he smiled weakly. "I guess that today just wasn't my day for a duel."

"I guess so," I replied. "Thanks for the locator cards!"

"Okay," he said, smiling at me as he walked off.

"Now what was that all about?" Kai asked, coming up next to me.

"What do you mean?" I answered.

"He so clearly likes you!" he stormed, his face turning red.

I laughed. "And you're jealous?"

"No. I just thought that a guy like him is an egotistic freak!"

"Could say the same for you."

"WHAT!?!"

//Find the Pharaoh.//

I turned my head around, not noticing that Kai was yelling at me.

"Did you hear a word I said?" Kai stormed, noticing that I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

"Nope," I replied. "I heard something…"

Neither of us noticed the shadows creeping up around us.

"It's getting late," Kai remarked, glancing at his watch. "If you hear any of these `strange noises' again, keep it to yourself."

"And since when do you have the privilege of bossing me around?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.

"Since never," he smirked.

***`

"Great," I mumbled, walking to the fountain that I had arranged to meet Kai and Riruka at today. [Meira: It's another day in Battle City!]

//The Pharaoh.//

"Saéka!" I heard somebody yell. I looked up to see Riruka and Kai sitting next to the fountain.

"Hey!" I shouted, waving.

"Listen," Riruka whispered, as soon as I sat down. "Patton, you know that guy from English?"

I nodded.

"He asked me to hang out today!" she squealed. "You don't mind if I take off early, do you?"

"Nah," I smiled. "Go ahead. I mean, it's not everyday that you can hang out with a guy as cute as Patton."

"What about me?" Kai asked, pretending to be enraged.

"You're stupid," Riruka laughed. Oh… so she had gotten over her crush? "You don't count! So there!"

"Immature freak," Kai muttered.

"What did you call me?"

"You'd better get going," I said, trying to keep Riruka and Kai from fighting. "You'll be late to meet Patton."

"You're right!" Riruka said, checking her watch. "Later!"

"Bye!" I yelled as Riruka ran off.

//Find the Pharaoh.//

"What did you say?" Kai asked. "Find the Pharaoh?"

"I didn't say anything," I replied nervously. How could he have known what I had just thought?

"Sure…" Kai laughed. "Like I didn't just hear you say, `Find the Pharaoh.'"

"But I didn't!" I protested.

//Find Yami… find the Pharaoh.//

"What now?" Kai asked.

"Nothing!" I said, throwing up my hands, exasperated.

I felt something moving. I glanced around. Why was it so dark today? It was only ten in the morning… it couldn't be this dark already… not to mention that it wasn't supposed to rain today.

"Have you noticed how dark it is?" I asked, looking around.

"Are you kidding?" Kai asked incredulously. "It's bright out!"

"Then why do I see darkness?" I asked.

"Are you wearing sunglass contact lenses?" he asked. I shook my head.

"I don't wear contacts," I replied coldly.

For some strange reason, at that minute, I felt like I was being shunted aside.

"Saéka?" Kai asked, waving his hand in front of my face.

I didn't respond.

[Meira: *glares at parents* I had to go to bed before I could finish this chapter, so now I'm not in the right mood to finish it. And I just lost the idea that I had… *death glares parents* Now I have to think… again… so the rest of this chapter will be crappy.]

"Saéka, you okay?" Kai asked, looking worried.

"Where is Yami?" I heard myself ask coldly. Wha-??? That wasn't my voice.

"I think he's off dueling somewhere," Kai replied, looking at me strangely. "Why?"

"Do not ask questions, you insolent, ungrateful fool!" I snapped. What the hell? That wasn't me…

"Saéka," Kai said, looking shocked. "What's wrong?"

I laughed. "Saéka," I smirked. "Perhaps you are mistaken. My name is Leila."

(Meira: Short chapter…

Yami: Yup. It wouldn't kill you to write a longer chapter.

Meira: *grumbling darkly*

Yami: What's up?

Meira: I tried on this nail polish for my Halloween costume, and I painted it really badly, and I ran out of nail polish remover…

Yami: … Well, I don't need to worry about my costume! I'm gonna be a Pharaoh!

Meira: You are a Pharaoh.

Yami: And you are gonna be…?

Meira: A gothic witch.

Yami: Your costume suits you perfectly…

Meira: Not really… *goes back to painting nails black*

Yami: For those of you who didn't review, should Meira up the rating? This is important to the outcome of this story. If she shouldn't up it, then she'll probably change the plot.

Meira: So… erm… any review for the authoress?

Yami: No flames allowed. *glares at flamers*

Meira: -_-` Please be polite…

Yami: …

Meira: I hope that I made fun of Alex enough… GLTB, you probably should be happy about that…)
