The demon duelist

Taking some time

Robert POV

Wait...where did I go this time after passing out. I'm not in anchent Egypt, I'm at what looks like a galaxy, and in a duel, I look down and the odd contraption on my wrist seeing cards on it, my cards. And a giant dragon facing us. Then I wake up to Dark Magician hitting me on the head.

Me: "What the Hell Was That For!?!"

Dark Magician: "You've been asleep long enough. You also have visitors."

Me: "Oh...well please don't club me upside the head again."

I get up And get a shirt on and open the door to Yugi and his friends.

Me: "Hi. You guys came here why?"

Yugi: "We wanted to congratulate you for advancing to the Semifinals."

Joey: "We also wanted to see if your ok after all that blood pukin'!"

Téa: "Joey you don't need to be so inconsiderate!"

Then I do something that surprises me and likely everyone else in the room, I laugh, not a fake one, or even a forced one, it was almost reactive, how I laughed wholeheartedly and completely.

Me: "Don't worry about it. I get it. I'm just fine. That's just a side effect of my powers. Come on in. I'll explain what I can."

Everyone comes in and finds a seat as I find one too.

Me: "Ok, ask whatever you want."

Yugi: "Well...I was wondering about that marking that would appear on your forehead whenever your Dueling, and why it changes your demeanor so much?"

Me: "You know how you have the Millennium Puzzle that connects you to the spirit in it, well my Millennium Pendant acts pretty similarly but with my other side. Allowing me to tap my powers and he takes control, I'm basically the brakes, making sure he doesn't kill anyone."

Téa: "That makes sense, so your saying that you and your Other half are two sides of the same coin and your pendant is a bridge that connects you two."

Me: "Yep."

Joey: "Cool cool, you got any grub."

Then Tristan hits him upside the head.

Tristan: "You gotta think with more than your stomach Joey. And what pendant. You've never worn a pendant when you dueled."

Me: "I always wear it moron. I keep it hidden in my shirt so nobody tries to take it."

I pull the pendant out of my shirt and show it off.

Téa: "It's beautiful."

Me: "Thanks."

I put it back into my shirt and

I put it back into my shirt.

Tristan: "So where'd you get it."

Me: "One of the last gifts from my parents. Who I never really knew. And I'm ok with that. The gifts they left me with in the order I got them is Dark Magician, and the first deck I ever had from my father, and my Millennium Pendant from my mother. So Dark Magician and several cards I've kept in my deck from day one are special to me. So I take care of them because their my friends to. Also the fact that Dark Magician is literally sitting there Drinking coffee and Dark Magician Girl in the bathroom is probably enough proof that their as alive as we are."

Dark Magician: "Indeed."

Téa: "Well how'd you Summon Dark Magician too?"

Me: "Same way as Dark Magician Girl. No idea. I woke up and he was there. And it does drive in the fact that him and Dark Magician Girl are opposites, he's serious all the time, and Dark Magician Girl is probably in there taking a bubble bath and playing with a Rubber Duckey and a Toy Boat giggling like a 6 year old."

Yugi: "You do realize that you probably should figure out how to send them back."

Me: "I will later. Right now I'm enjoying the ability to be Taking Some Time and getting some rest."
