I hoped I wouldn't need to fight my love, that would just increase her darkness, but it may be the only thing to save her. Holding my new deck, I hoped with all my might I could break through the dark, and shine a light for her to follow. Her darkness was deep, and getting deeper, I had a long battle ahead of me. A single duel will not be enough, I will have to force her into a match. Standing at the entrance to the arena, I steadied my nerves, I was in the fight for two lives now, not just my own.

I step onto the arena floor, she is standing on the other side. Her friend Ander consoles her before she comes in, she doubts her own abilities. As we each stepped forward, my heart began pounding against my chest, I've never been more afraid. I loved Vukima, but we were not meant to be. Now my heart aches for Akiza. We stood across from each other, duel disks at the ready, decks in hand.

Y: Hey...

A: Yes my love?

Y: I want a full match with you, not just a single duel.

A: I don't know, we may be here longer than what many can stand.

Y: I don't care about them. I'm here for you.

A: Very well then, we shall have a match.

(real decks, not copied from any series, all decisions are by coin toss for fair play. I did make a few mistakes, so oops...)
