I was watching the news last night, and they were talking about Harry Potter 7 again (when are we going to get the name of it?!) and this ridiculous "Harry's gonna die" stuff. (I also wanted to talk about it because AP said the Reruns thread got closed because you were talking about HP) First off, of course there's a possiblity Harry might die! What's so shocking about it? However, there are A LOT more main characters than Harry. Let's see here: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Mr. Weasly, Mrs. Weasly, Draco, Hagrid, Snape, Lupin, Voldemort, Fleur, the Durselys, Neville, Luna. That's all I can think of for now. That's what... ::counts:: 20! He's got a one in ten chance of dying. So stop saying that he's gonna die like it's some big surprise, or don't say it at all! (that was directed at the news people, not you guys :))

And now, RB, here's most of chapter 6 from my fic. I say, "most of" because I'm seriously thinking of changing what happens at the end of it. But no matter what I decide, you'll have fic tomorrow, don't worry. ;)

Ch. 6 
 
 Jonouchi struggled to get to his feet, but his shoulder gave a spasm of pain and he fell back down. Malik laughed.
 "Give it up, Jonouchi. You can't keep dueling like this," he said. "Why prolong your torture? I'll kill you either way."
 Jonouchi ignored the pain in his shoulder and chest and managed to stand up. "You shut up," he said weakly "I'm not done yet."
 "Jonouchi, stop! You don't have to prove anything! Just stop the duel!" Honda yelled. Jonouchi ignored him.
 
 "Other me!" Yugi called to his other self. "We have to do something! I know we promised Jonouchi-kun, but if he keeps dueling..."
 "No, aibou." The other Yugi said to his partner.
 "But... he'll die!"
 "I know, but... we..." he trailed off. It sounded so stupid now. Jonouchi was about to die, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing!
 "Please... other me..." Yugi pleaded.
 "He won't listen. But you can try," he relented.
 
 "Jonouchi-kun, listen to me!" Yugi yelled, in place of his other self. Everyone stopped and looked at Yugi, suprised.
 "You have to stop this! Jonouchi-kun, if you keep dueling, you'll die!"
 "Yugi..." Jonouchi started.
 "Please... just stop."
 Jonouchi sighed. "Yugi... what would you do?"
 "What?" Yugi asked.
 "If you were dueling right now instead of me, would you stop? Or would you keep dueling?" Jonouchi said.
 "I..." Yugi hesitated to answer. <i>"I would keep dueling," he thought. "Jonouchi-kun's right. Other me..."</i> With a flash, the other Yugi appeared, and looked at Jonouchi.
 "Mou hitori no Yugi... are you going to tell me to stop, too?" Jonouchi asked.
 "I agree with my partner," he said. "But it's your duel, Jonouchi-kun. It's up to you."
 Jonouchi nodded.
 "This is all very entertaining," Malik interrupted. "But are you going to keep dueling or not?"
 Jonouchi glared at him. "I already told you to shut up. It's my turn." He drew his card. "I play Giant Trunade," he said. All the facedown cards on the field vanished. "And since Axe of Despair is gone, Makyura's back down to 1600. So..." He threw a monster card on to his duel disk. "I summon Panther Warrior! Then I add Scapegoat, and sacrifice a sheep token so Panther Warrior can attack your Makyura!"
 4 colorful sheep appeared on the field nest to Panther Warrior. One disappeared for the sacrifice. Panther Warrior gripped its sword with both hands and cut Makyura in half. Malik flinched as his life points fell to 1600. And just as quickly he smirked again.
 "Bad move, Jonouchi. When Makyura's detroyed, I get to play a trap from my hand. And I chose this: Call of the Haunted!"
 <i>"Dammit, he's right,"</i>" Jonouchi thought. <i>"That was a stupid mistake. I can't concentrate... Hell, I can barely stand..." </i>
 Makyura reappeared on the field, thanks to Call of the Haunted.
 "And now it's my turn, Jonouchi. I re-play Axe of Despair, this time on Zombyra the Dark! It had 1900 attack points, so now it has 2900. Zombyra, attack his Panther Warrior!"
 Zombyra slashed through Panther Warrior with the axe. Jonouchi's life points fell to 200.
 "Turn end," Malik said.
 Jonouchi shakily drew his card. "I set a monster face-down," he said weakly. "Turn end."
 Malik drew his card. "This is it, Jonouchi," Malik said. "The final turn. I flip Cyber Jar!"
 Malik's long-forgotten face-down monster flipped up to reveal Cyber Jar. It opened its eye and sucked all monsters on the field into it, then imploded.
 "All monsters are destroyed, and we each pick up 5 cards, summoning anything with 4 stars or less." Both Malik and Jonouchi picked up 5 cards.
 Jonouchi looked at his cards: Jinzo, Roulette Spider, Legendary Fisherman, Gamble, and Alligator's Sword. <i>"Dammit... I can only play one monster,"</i> Jonouchi thought. "I summon Aliigator's Sword!" he said.
 "Only one monster? I summon 5!" Malik yelled. The monsters appeared as he called their names. "Holding Arms, Holding Legs, Gilgarth, Drillago, and Plasma Eel!"
 "Oh no..." Jonouchi said fearfully.
 "You should be afraid. First, Holding Legs returns your face-down card to your hand," Malik said. Jonouchi's lone face-down card disappeared from the field. "Next, since I have both Holding Arms and Legs, I think you know what happens."
 "Malik-chan, you bastard..." Jonouchi whispered. Of course he knew what the cards did. Holding Arms and Legs flew towards him. He could tell from the shadow that the Stone was already there. The Stone... his mind flooded with memories of the night before...
 <i>"'Who's there?'"<i>
 Holding Arms clamped around his wrists and dragged him to the stone. He made no effort to stop them.
 <i>"'Look into my eyes... it's me!'"<i>
 Holding Arms slammed Jonouchi against against the stone. Jonouchi yelled in pain. He coughed and tasted something metallic.
 <i>"'Forget about me! Just go!'"<i>
 Holding Legs attached themselves, too. Now Jonouchi couldn't move at all.
 <i>"'Listen Jonouchi, don't be a hero! Just go!'"<i>
 Jonouchi hung his head. Blood dripped down his chest.
 <i>"'Look, I'm staying right here.'"<i>
 
 Malik laughed manically. "Oh, the irony! Now, I sacrifice my three remaining monsters to summon..." he paused to slap the card onto his duel disk. "The Sun Dragon Ra!!" He laughed again. "Now, die! Ra, attack his monster and kill him!"
 A sphere of light started forming in the arch on Ra's back.  "Mai... I... just wanted..." Jonouchi said softly. "To see you again... to tell you... that... I..." He choked up as a lone tear ran down his face.

I wonder what he wanted to say... :D Oh, and I'm sorry for using dub quotes in a fic based on Japanese canon! I didn't know what they said in Japanese! I'm sorry!
