Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Devotion ❯ Priorities ( Chapter 11 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Here goes, my second attempt at Chapter 11. I turned on the tv just now and saw the second half of Tea vs. Mai, lucky! I'm going from memory on the rest of it, as usual.

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-gi-oh, Mai would have gotten to beat up Panik when he tried to grab her (there is a fic where she does somewhere in my favorite authors).

Um...okaayyy...

Why the hell is Joey strangling Yugi?

Okay, he's not strangling him, just shaking him. What a relief.

Why the hell is Joey shaking Yugi?

And why do Yugi's eyes look so...dead?

Yugi lost to Kaiba, and now he's refusing to ever duel again?

I'm really angry. Why am I angry? Normally I laugh when people are stupid.

I mean, me losing to Joey, that's something to get depressed over. A pro like me, losing to a complete amateur who had to borrow a star chip to even get on this island?

Depressing, ain't it?

But Kaiba, hell! Everyone loses to Kaiba! Being one-for-one with Kaiba is something to be proud of!

I thought you were better than that, Yugi. Everyone loses sometimes. I lost to Joey and Panic on this island, and here I am with eighteen star chips and you won't accept them!

I hate owing people.

Geez, what are you getting so angry about, Tea? I'm just telling the truth!

Duel me for these star chips? You duel me? You're kidding!

You're serious.

Wow.

You're going to get your butt kicked. Why do you want to do this? Yugi doesn't deserve it.

I thought...I thought he was special. Giving me those star chips after he'd almost gotten fried to a crisp winning them...

How the hell did he survive?

Wierdness.

Yugi is weird.

You're so strong. Like... someone I could look up to.

Then you're completely devastated by such a little thing...

The Yugi I know wouldn't be like this.

All your friends wouldn't be looking at me like I was crazy if that was all it was.

You're scared.

Losing a duel doesn't make you scared like this.

There's more to it than meets the eye.

I'm relieved.

I'd hate to think...

Whatever.

Oh god, Tea. You have no freaking clue what you're doing. Why did you even try?

For Yugi.

Man, you're lucky...

But you can't help him with this.

Something horrible enough to make a person that strong that terrified...

Whatever's going on in Yugi's head, Tea, he's going to have to face it on his own.

He needs to go back to the way he used to be, where he'd toss aside anything that got in his way.

Please?

Your friends need you. Joey looks so lost...

I need you.

God, I did not just think that.

But everyone needs someone to prove themselves against.

I want you to be strong.

So that when I beat you, it'll prove that I'm strong.

I need you to duel again.

Please, just please snap out of it.

I know you're strong.

You're strong too, Tea.

Man, I'm actually starting to respect these losers.

To like these losers?

No, no way. Not me.

You're crying like this and you just pulled off a great move.

Too bad I have a better one.

Ah, my harpies, you have the coolest accessories!

Muahahaha.

But...

Whistle innocently. Look defeated. Wait until out of sight behind dueling platform to smirk.

Go on, Tea. Here are Yugi's...your star chips.

You're a complete amateur. But you deserve this victory.

What made you so strong?

You were fighting for your friend.

Friendship...whatever.

Oh shit. Yugi spotted me.

How the hell did he know that card was Harpie's Feather Duster?

Well, I am a little predictable. I love it when people know what's coming and they can't do a thing about it.

Muahahaha.

Hey, he's back to his old self!

Score one for the big girl!

And now he owes me, he he he. I am eeeeevil.

Still...

It's good to have you back, Yugi.

We've missed you.

We?

Since when am I part of Yugi-and-Co.?

He does seem to collect people.

Whatever. A girl shouldn't think too much, it's a dangerous pastime.

It made me throw a game!

I've never done that!

Winning is everything!

Really?

Ha.

Having fun is everything.

I wouldn't be making a living off this game if it wasn't fun.

And now it's fun for you again, Yug.

God, I sound like Joey.

Sheesh.

I better ditch these losers before I go completely soft.

Nah. They're fun.

But I'm still kicking your ass, Yugi.

A girl's got to have her priorities straight.

Sorry about overuse of italics, it just seemed right for Mai.

Sorry about lateness! Move plus computer issues! Having to borrow brother's laptop, main computer goes ballistic when the space bar is pressed. Will do Yugi soon, possibly right now.

Queen of Fire and Chaos: It's a deal!

Amber Eyes(): Sure, I'd like your e-mail. But you might want to get an account to. I got one ages before I wrote anything so that I could get links to my favorites. It's very convenient, and free. I love ff.net!!!!

SilverShadowFire: Wasn't it though? Tea rocks!

Pharoah's Angel: You're welcome, and the Pharaoh rules.
