School

          

It was one of those days where you’re so bored you’d kill for some excitement. At least, that’s what Yugi and his friends thought.

 

Joey: How much longer till schools out?

 

Tea:  Five minutes less than last time you asked.

 

Tristan:  Okay, so what time is it?

 

Tea:  grrrrrrrrrrr…

 

Yugi:  It’s 2:35, now be quiet!  Some people are actually interested in Cells and Systems.

 

All:  *stare at Yugi*

 

Teacher:  Okay class, tomorrow there will be a new student so I want you all to be on your best behavior.

 

 

Game Shop

                               

Joey:  I wonder what this new kid’ll be like… we don’t even know if it’s a guy or a chick.

 

Bakura:  I asked the teacher and he said that it’s a girl that just transferred here from some place in Canada.

 

All:  Really?

 

Bakura:  Apparently, she moved into the house next to Kaiba’s.

 

Tristan:  *smirks* And why would you ask about her house?

 

Bakura:  *blushes* Well… you see… heh…

 

Joey:  *girlish giggle*

 

Later that night – Yugi’s Room

                       

Yami:  Yugi, I have a weird feeling about this new girl…

 

Yugi:  You haven’t even met her yet… I haven’t even met her.  We don’t know anything for sure.

 

Yami:  I guess your right… just be cautious.

 

Yugi:  Sure *goes to sleep*

 

Next day at School

                             

Teacher:  Okay class, like I said yesterday, we have a new student.  Please give a warm welcome to May.

 

*A girl with long blonde hair, green eyes, and a silver pendent walk in*

 

Teacher:  May, Would you like to say anything about yourself?

 

*May shrugs*

 

Teacher:  Okay then, please take a seat then, in the back, left corner, behind Yugi.

 

Joey:  Pretty modest huh?

 

Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura nod.

 

 

 

Lunch

         

Across the room, May takes out a small package from her back, unwraps it, and reveled a deck of cards.

 

Joey:  Those are weird looking cards.

 

Bakura:  That’s because they’re Tarot Cards, fortunetellers use them.

 

Kaiba:  So she’s a fortuneteller?  That would explain animals in her yard.

((Note from the author: Some fortunetellers have a lot of animals for some reason))

 

Tea:  Oh, right!  She’s your new neighbor!

 

Kaiba:  Yeah, but only ‘cause her parents won the place in a draw or something.  She has a little brother too.  He’s weird, but he get along okay with Mokuba.

 

Yugi:  Lets go say hi!

All:  Okay

 

*They walk over to May’s desk*

 

Tristan:  Hi!  My name is-

 

May:  *May cuts him off* You’re Tristan, you’re Joey, you’re Tea, you’re Bakura, your Kaiba, and Yugi.  Am I not mistaken?

 

All: *stare in shock*

 

Yugi:  How did you know that?

 

May: *shrugs* Lucky Guess.

 

The way Home

                       

Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura are walking to the Game Shop.  They see May walking towards the extremely creepy forest.

 

Tea:  Hey!  Isn’t that May?

 

Joey:  Yeah, it is… where’s she going?

 

Yugi:  Lets ask, *yells* Hey May?  Wanna come over?

 

May:  Can’t, I’ve got… umm… practice.

 

Yugi:  Tomorrow’s a weekend, how about then?

 

May:  Sure, whatever *walks towards the creepy forest and disappears into the trees* 

 

Bakura:  She seemed a little hesitant didn’t she?

 

Game Shop

 

Tea:  It sure got dark fast.

 

All: yeah

 

*Mokuba and a tall chubby boy with short brown hair walk in*

 

Yugi:  Hi Mokuba!  Who’s you friend?

 

Mokuba:  This is William, his sister’s in your class.

 

Tristan:  So your May’s little brother?  How old are you?

 

William:  I’m ten.

 

All: *anime fall*

 

Joey:  Your kidding right?  You’re almost my size!

 

William:  heh, I’m just a little big for my age… have you seen my sister? 

 

Bakura:  Not since after school, why?

 

William:  She was supposed to be home over an hour ago and she’s never late.  My parents called the police an-

 

*A creepy noise cut him off*

 

Tea: what was that?

 

Yugi:  I don’t know but it came from that creepy little forest.

 

Joey:  Lets go find out!

 

The Forest:

 

Tristan:  This place gives me the creeps.

 

William: *smirks* This place is nothing compared to back home.

 

They hear the noise again, but this time there was more to it.  It sounded like a creepy flute song and it was so mysterious, that it seemed to lure them towards it.

 

Mokuba:  It’s coming from that direction!  *Points towards the near by creek*

 

They got to the creek and hid in the shrubs and watched for the flute player.  Then, across the creek, they saw May doing Irish dance while playing a silver flute.

 

William:  Oh no!  Not again!

 

Joey:  What do you mean, not again?

 

Tristan:  You’re gonna have to fill us in some more if we’re gonna help you.

 

Just then, May stopped playing her flute and stared in their direction.  Her eyes were glowing bright yellow like a wolf’s reflecting the moon.

 

William turned ghost white.

 

William:  RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They all run as fast as possible to the Game Shop.  As they were running it sounded as though a wild animal were chasing them through the forest.

 

Yugi: *out of breathe* What happened?  What was all that about?

 

William:  it’s a long story…

 

Game Shop

 

Bakura:  So are you going to tell us what’s happening?

 

William:  Are you sure you wanna know?  I mean you don’t even know her…

 

Joey: *grabs William by the collar*  Look kid, just tell us what’s happening!

 

William:  Alright, alright already!  Put me down!

 

Joey drops William

 

William:  Okay, well, it all started last year at May’s Birthday party.  We were just cutting into the cake when the doorbell rang.  May went to answer it and no one was there except for a small package on the ground.  There was no return address on it so we figured it was from a secret admirer or something.  She opened it and inside was a note, a package of cards, and a pendent that looked like a moon with an eye in it.

 

Yami:  A Millenium Item?!

 

William:  Where’d you come from?

 

Yami:  I’m Yugi’s alter ego.

 

William:  Cool… May has one of those ‘cept her doesn’t look quite so… human. 

 

Joey:  FINISH THE STORY!!!!!

 

Tea:  Wait!  The cards you mentioned, we saw her playing with them at school.

 

William:  Yeah, a lot of people think they’re tarot cards but they’re actually the Irish-Gaelic version of Duel Monsters!

 

All:  Really?

 

William:  Yeah!  They were banned in Ireland ‘cause people claimed they had magic and witched  used them or something like that.

 

Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Mokuba, and Bakura:  OKAY!  FINISH THE STORY!!!

 

William:  FINE!  The note explained the cards and told a little about the pendent.  It explained that there are fourteen Millenium Items, seven of the Sun, and seven of the Moon.  The one Yugi’s wearing is a Sun Item.  All the Moon Items are silver so that’s how you tell them apart.  The note also said the names of all the Millenium Items.  The Millenium Sun Items are the Puzzle, the Ring, the Eye, the Key, the Scale, the necklace, and the Rod.  The Millenium Moon Items are the Shield, the Sword, the Axe, the Armlet, the Tiara, the Book, and the Item that May has is the Staff.

 

Bakura:  But you said the package contained a pendent, not a staff.

 

William:  its shape is changeable… for transportation needs.

 

All:  Oh!!!

 

Yugi:  So is it the Millenium Staff that’s controlling her?

 

William:  Sorta… you see, when I said May has an alter ego, I meant it came with the Item.  It’s what we saw at the creek, not May.  The spirit is a demon, it uses music to summon and control creatures… then uses them to raise it’s own power.  The scary is that no one knows whether it’s good or evil… it won’t leave the forest though.

 

Tea:  This is scary.  What are we going to do?  The new girl is possessed by a demon that has a Millenium Item! *sweat drop*  

 

Bakura:  We should call the experts on this stuff.

 

Tristan:  You don’t mean…

 

Bakura:  Yes!  Malik and Isis Ishtar.

 

Later

 

Yugi:  I really hope you guys can help us.

 

Isis:  I’ll look into the past so you don’t have to explain again.

 

Tristan:  Too bad we couldn’t have done that.

 

William:  So, can you help my sister?

 

Malik:  I’ve never even heard of the Millenium Moon Items.  Got any info? 

 

William:  Yeah, *pulls out twenty four pages of notes from his jacket*

 

After reading over the note several times

 

Malik:  According to this, the Millenium Moon Items were created in Ireland, not Egypt.

 

Isis:  That’s strange.

 

All agree

 

Bakura:  Does it say anything about the spirits they might carry?

 

Malik:  No, but it does say that the Millenium Staff carries the power to bring images and sculptors to life and make then as big or as small as the owner of it wishes.

 

Tea:  That just makes the Item more scary.

 

Isis:  William, how did you stop the demon before?

 

William:  We did this Ritual thingy with her friends and banished it.

 

Yami:  Do you remember the Ritual?

 

William:  No.

 

All:  *Anime fall* 

 

Bakura:  Well, my Millenium Ring has the power to banish things to the Shadow Realm.

 

Joey:  But that would mean you’d have to summon Yami Bakura.

 

Malik:  I don’t know why you guys hate him so much… he’s not really all that bad.

 

Tristan:  You had an alliance with him!  Plus, he turned us into Duel Monsters and tried to send us all to the Shadow Realm forever.

 

William:  OH GO CRY TO YOUR MOMMY!  MY SISTER’S IN TROUBLE!!!  I’ll risk anything to save her!

 

Isis:  Well, lets start a plan then.

The Forest

 

May awoke to a strange noise

 

May:  Who… who’s there?

 

She got up and looked around.  Her Millenium Staff was glowing brighter than ever.

A shadow appeared in front of her.

 

May:  I- it’s you!  How could you be here!  You were banished!

 

Shadow:  Hey, you think I want to be here anymore than you want me here? 

 

May: *raises a brow* What do you want Isithrade?

 

Shadow: *smirks* I see you remembered my name.  I came here ‘cause I need your help.

 

May:  With what?

 

Shadows disappear to reveal a tall creature, resembling a girl, with Dragon wings and a number of strange tattoos.

 

Isithrade:  I need you to help me with a little problem, you see, your “friend” Yugi also has an alter ego, Yami.  He’s the Egyptian Pharaoh and King of Games.  I need to speak with him… but due to that little curse your friends put on me, I can’t leave the forest.

 

May:  So why should I help you?  You’re the one who tried to lock my soul away so you could take my body.

 

Isithrade:  Cause if you help me, I will never bother you again.

 

May: *Lifts a brow and smiles* So what do you want me to do?

 

 

Game Shop

 

Joey:  So let me get this straight?  We go to the creepy forest, we find the creepy creek, and we sneak up on the demon, then banish it?

 

Tristan:  That’s the plan!  *Smiles*

 

Malik: *slaps his forehead* You obviously have no experience with demons.  That pathetic plan is so simple a toddler could have thought it up.  The Demon would see it coming.

 

They all hear footsteps and May walks in.

 

All:  MAY?!

 

Yugi:  What are you doing here May?  The demon… it-

 

May:  It let me go.

 

All:  What?!

 

May:  But it wants something in return…

 

Mokuba:  What’s that?

 

May:  It wants to talk with someone named Yami.

 

Yami:  Why would it want to talk with me?

 

May:  It’s important, I don’t know why though.  Please, come with me.

 

Joey, Tea, Bakura, Yugi, Mokuba, and Isis:  It’s not safe!

 

May:  Come with us then.

 

Malik: *Smiles* Are you sure it’s not a set up?

 

May: *glares at Malik* Ask William, he knows I never lie and that the demon can’t leave the forest.  Who are you anyway?

 

Malik: *Sarcastically* Oh, how rude of me? *does a mocking bow* My name is Malik Ishtar.

 

May:  Whatever.  My house backs onto the forest, it’ll be safer to go that way.

 

May and William’s House

 

May: *unlocks the front gate* This is my house!

 

All except Mokuba:  Wow!  Big enough!

 

Kaiba walks out from his front gate

 

Kaiba:  MOKUBA!  Where on earth have you been?   It’s an hour past curfew!

 

Mokuba:  I’d better go, BYE!

 

All:  Bye Mokuba! *walk through the gateway*

 

May: *Whistles* Atlas!  Here boy!

 

A large, pure bred German Shepherd can running through the yard and stopped at May’s feet.

 

May:  This is our Guard dog, Atlas.  If you get scared just call him over.

 

Joey:  Atlas come here boy!

 

All: *sweat drop and laugh*

 

Tea:  Bakura, what about your Yami?

 

Bakura:  Ah, yes!

His Millenium Ring started glowing and Yami Bakura appeared.

 

May:  Alright!  Lets get going!

 

Back yard

 

Joey:  Geez!  Your back yard is huge!

 

William:  I know!  But it’s good for all the animals.

 

Tristan:  What kinds of animals?

 

William:  Oh, you know, Atlas, horses, wolves, snakes… those kinds.

 

Joey and Tristan: *anime fall* Your kidding right?

 

William: *smiles* Nope!  The horses are in the stables, the wolves are in the forest, the snakes are everywhere… and Atlas is beside Joey…

 

The Forest

 

May:  It’s not much longer, the creek is over there! *Points west where the sound of running water is coming from* 

 

Yami:  So, what does it want?

 

May:  First of all, her name is Isithrade, and second, I don’t know.

 

Malik: *sarcastically* Oh that’s helpful!

 

May glares at him.

 

The Creek

 

A shadow appears and a creature walks out of them.

 

May:  Okay Isithrade, what do you want?

 

Isithrade:  That is none of your concern!

 

Yami:  So what do you want Isithrade?

 

Isithrade:  So, you’re the famous Pharaoh Yami, King of games.

 

Yami: Yes, but you didn’t answer my question.

 

Isithrade:  Ah yes, how about a duel?

 

Yugi:  A duel?  You did all this for a duel?!

 

Isithrade: *snaps* THIS ISN’T JUST FOR A DUEL SHORT STUFF!  To make things interesting, I want to use my Gaelic deck and you can use whatever yours is.  But to make things really interesting, if I win, I get your soul!

 

Yami:  Alright, but if I win, you leave May and everyone alone forever!

 

Isithrade:  Deal!

 

The Duel

 

May:  Be careful Yami!  You’ve never dueled against the Gaelic cards before!  The rules are different an-

 

Isithrade: *cuts May off* Shut up!  Let’s start this duel! *points to a flat stump that had been previously set up for the duel*

 

Yami:  Alright!  Twenty hundred life points each!

 

Isithrade:  I’ll make the first move. *she plays a monster card face down and a magic/trap card face down*

 

Yami plays a magic/trap card face down and plays the Winged Dragon, Guardian of  the fortress in attack mode.

 

Yami:  I’ll get my Dragon to attack your face down monster.

Isithrade:  You fell into my trap! *flips over the card to reveal a monster called the Lunar Mist* When the Lunar Mist is attacked, you have to discard your hand, the monster’s on your side of the field go to the graveyard, and you lose a hundred life points.

 

Later

 

Yami’s life points are at 650 and Isithrade’s are at 1150.

 

May:  This is all my fault!  I should never of brought you guys here! 

 

Joey:  Well, it is your fault, but how could you have known what would happen?

 

Yami: *thinking*  What am I going to do?  None of my monsters can beat hers!

 

Isithrade:  Hurry up and make your move!  I’m getting bored!

 

Yami: *draws a card* I’ll play a monster face down…

 

Isithrade:  Best you could do huh?  Well I’ll play a magic card face down and play the unstoppable Black Lightning Fenrir!

 

A card with a gigantic black wolf with electric sparks coming from the fur is placed on the field.

 

May:  Oh no!  Yami’s done for!  That’s my most powerful card and nothing can beat it!  *Thinking* at least not with it’s attack point being 40000!

 

Yugi:  Cool it May!  Yami has been in a lot of tight places before and made it out alive!

 

Isithrade:  Fenrir, attack the face down card!

 

Yami discards the monster.

 

Yami: *thinking* I’d better do something fast or I’m done for!

 

Isithrade:  Quit stalling and move already!

 

Yami: *draws a card and smiles* This duel is over Isithrade!  I’ve just draw the card that will be your downfall!  I play The God of Osirus! ((Note from the Author: I’m not sure if that’s the correct spelling of it))

 

Isithrade:  WHAT?!  THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY YOU COULD HAVE JUST DRAWN THAT!!!!! *she stands up, starts screaming then falls to her knees mumbling to herself*

 

Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, Bakura, Isis, Malik, and William:  ALRIGHT YAMI!!!!!!!!!  You beat her!

 

May:  I guess I was wrong Yami, You proved me wrong and beat her.  I’m sorry for doubting you.

 

Yami:  Don’t worry about it, you’re free now.

 

May: *starts crying* I don’t know how to thank you!

 

Yami: *smiles* Don’t worry  about it.

 

May: *wipes some tears away* I know but you put your soul on the line to save me an-

 

Malik: *cuts her off* Quit your whining!  Yami got you your freedom back, you thank him, and it’s over!

 

Isis walks up and smacks Malik in the Back of the head.

 

Malik:  WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!

 

Isis:  Your being a jerk!  Apologize now!

 

May:  It’s okay, he’s right, I was just being a drama Queen.  I-

 

Gets cut off

 

Isithrade: *Insane laugh* I’m not finished with you yet! *Runs over to May, grabs her pendent, runs to the edge of the creek, and transforms it to Staff form* The power of the Millenium Moon Staff allows me to Transform any Image I wish to a living thing! *Grabs for her deck but is stopped *

 

Yami Bakura: I don’t think so, at least not before I send you to the Shadow Realm! *His Millenium Ring starts glowing, Isithrade starts screaming, she disappears, and Atlas starts barking*

 

Bakura:  WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

 

Yami Bakura:  I got bored so I went for a walk.

 

Bakura: *smacks his head* Idiot!  If you had been here an hour ago, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this.

 

Yami Bakura:  Well I’m here now.

 

Tea:  Okay!  Quit fighting!  We’ve been through enough tonight.

 

Tristan: She’s right, let’s get out of here, this place gives me the creeps.

 

Tea: Sure

 

Yugi and Yami at the same time:  Sure.

 

Bakura and Yami Bakura:  Let’s get out of here.

 

Malik:  Whatever.

 

Isis:  I’d better get back to work at the museum.

 

William:  Where’s May?

 

They all see May walking back to the place where Isithrade disappeared.

Malik:  What are you doing?

 

May: *kneels on the spot and picks up a silver pendent, then rushes back towards them* I can’t leave without this, let’s go.

 

Joey:  Yeah!  Atlas, here boy!  We’re going!

 

Atlas: Bark!

 

William:  My mom can make us cookies and hot chocolate!

 

Joey and Tristan:  FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!  What are we waiting for?!

 

They all race back to the house

 

Inside May and William’s House

 

May’s Mom:  Sounds like you kids have had a full night.

 

All: yeah…

 

May’s mom leaves the room.

 

Isis:  I’d better get going, I have work tomorrow.

 

Tea:  Me too.

 

Tristan:  It’s late, I’d better go home.

 

Joey:  I promised Serenity I’d visit her tomorrow.

 

Yugi:  Grandpa’s probably worried, I’d better get going too.

 

Yami:  I should go with him, see ya!

 

Bakura:  It’s really late, my Yami and I should probably go too.

 

William:  Bye!  See ya!

 

All except Malik leave.

May:  Aren’t you going to leave too?

 

Malik:  Look, we kinda got off on the wrong hand.  I’m sorry about insulting you and all that.

 

May: *stares him in the eye* It’s okay, I was just being sensitive.

 

Malik:  No really, I’m sorry.

 

May: *her eyes start watering so she looks away* Look, you’d better go now.

 

Malik:  Okay, I’ll see you around.

 

May:  Bye!

 

Malik leaves

 

William: *jumping up and down* He likes you!  He likes you!  He likes you!

 

May:  WHAT?!

 

May chases William to his room

 

William:  What?  He does, I can tell.

 

May:  Good night brat! 

 

William:  HE LIKES YOU! HE LIKES YOU!  HE LIKES YOU!

 

May: I SAID GOOD NIGHT!

 

May Slams the bedroom door behind her.

 

The End
