Chapter 3: The Cards with Hearts

"Whoa! It's a draw again!" Joey exclaimed as she, Tristan, and Tea were watching Yami and Yugi duel again.

"How do you two do that? You're neck to neck in every game you play. Not to mention, beat everyone else who has play against you," Tea asked.

"Well, I have a lot of experience with games because I live in a game shop with my grandfather. I don't know what Yami, but we almost played games together," Yugi answered.

"I don't know how for myself either," Yami added.

Just then the teacher walked in. Everyone went to their seats.

"Today, we have a new student. His name is Seto Kaiba," said the teacher as a tall handsome boy with brown hair and blue eyes walked in. Everyone started to whispered. Joey, who had her chin rested on her arm, slipped and her jaw hit the desk.

Seto Kaiba is a sixteen year old CEO of Kaiba Corp. He is also a top duelist. To Yami, he looked familiar somehow.

Kaiba was seated next to Yugi, behind Joey. He looked around with pride. He felt something strange coming off of Yami and felt a little interest in the blond in front of him.

He notice a duel monsters card on the floor next to Yugi's desk.

"Is this yours?" he asked.

"Oh yes, thank you. My name's Yugi," she answered.

"Seto Kaiba. So you like duel monsters, huh?" he asked.

"Yes, my best friend and I love it a lot," Yugi said.

"Who's your best friend?"

"Yami, over there."

Seto turned to see Yami. He felt something odd like Yami did. He looked familiar, but he couldn't figure it out.

_______________________________________________

"Kaiba is very nice. He's really good at games. He told me that he has a lot of medals and trophies from duel monster tournaments," Yugi told Yami while in the girl's room.

"Wow, it would be cool to join a tournament," Yami said.

"Yeah."

"It seems you're making friends again," said Yami, smiling at the process of his shy, yet sweet best friend.

"What? Jealous?" Yugi joked, winking.

"Me? Jealous? Now why would I? If anyone is Yugi Moto's best friend, it has to be me. If someone has trying work their way to replace me, they won't make it because I'll straggle them," said Yami, going along with the joke.

"You can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"One: I won't let you. Two: you're an angel. Angels don't do that. Three: you don't fight people unless they commit a crime, mostly against me. What could they do?"

"Getting close to you and trying to boot off a guardian angel's position as a friend. And what do you mean you won't let me? You and I both know you can't fight," Yami said.

"I know, but I know someone who can. Simorgh!" Yugi called as her duel monster bird restrained Yami.

"Hey! No fair!"

"It is very fair, Master Yami. As you said, Lady Yugi can't fight back," Simorgh said.

"You always take her side," the angel complained.

Yugi giggled as she walked the angel and the duel monster spirit wrestle.

The next day, Yugi and Yami were helping Grandpa with the game shop. Seto Kaiba walked in.

"Hey Kaiba," Yugi greeted.

"Hello Yugi, I have heard a rumor that your grandfather has a very powerful and rare card," he said.

"Yes, the rumor is true. Grandpa, can Kaiba see it?" she asked.

"Sure." Grandpa took out the duel monsters card and laid on the counter. Its image was a white dragon with blue eyes.

"This is it! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Suddenly, Kaiba started to get Grandpa to sell the card or trade. He seem desperate.

"I'm sorry, Kaiba. This card is my treasure. Its soul is my friend," Grandpa told him.

"Soul? Cards do not have souls," Kaiba said.

"If only you knew," Yami and Yugi thought at the same time. Simorgh was chirping angrily, which didn't reach Kaiba's eyes.

Kaiba left angrily in the end.

________________________________________________

At school, Grandpa let Yugi take his precious card to school to show Joey, Tristan, and Tea.

After finishing a duel against Joey, which Yugi had won, Kaiba came up to her.

"Yugi, I heard you brought your grandfather's card. May I see it?" he asked.

"I-I guess so," Yugi answered unsure. She handed Kaiba the card. He dropped it by accident (a/n: or not).

"Oops, sorry." He picked it up and handed it back to her.

He lefted with the realBlue-Eyes White Dragon card in his hand. Unfortunately for him, two people saw his act.

________________________________________________

Yugi and Yami were on their way home.

"Yugi! Yami!" Tea called, running towards them.

"What is it?"

"Tristan and Joey asked to talk to Kaiba on the roof of our school. I think they're getting into trouble," she said.

"Yami, we have to go help them," said Yugi.

"Okay!" Yami transformed into his lion form. Yugi climbed on. He ran back towards the school.

________________________________________________

"So why did you call me up here?" Kaiba asked.

"We know you took Yugi's grandfather's card from her and switched it with a fake. Give it back," Joey ordered.

"It's mine now," Kaiba said.

"Give it back or else!" Tristan shouted.

"Or else what?" challenged Kaiba as two bodyguards appeared.

"That doesn't scare us!" Joey and Tristan charged towards them.

Kaiba was staring at Joey the whole time. He quickly whispered something the guards that the other teens didn't hear. One of them punched Tristan in the stomach and knocked him out. The other just knocked out Joey.

"Tristan! Joey!" Yugi shouted as she and the lion Yami ran onto the roof. Yami went to the unconscious two, while the girl confronted Kaiba.

"Please Kaiba, stop it! I know that you switch my grandfather's card for a fake, but I thought you would give it back to me. Please, give it back. It would break my grandfather's heart," Yugi pleaded.

"Who cares about the old man?"

One of the bodyguards grabbed Yugi and lifted her up by her shirt. He was able to hit.

"Yami!" she cried out in her mind, unable to speak because of fear.

The mental cry was heard in Yami's mind. He attacked and saved Yugi. He had used his lion head to ram into the guard's stomach and successfully got the girl out his grasp. Then he transform into human form to catch her. He let his wings appear to show Kaiba that he had cross the line by trying to harm Yugi.

"What are you?" Kaiba asked, witnessing the transformation from a black lion to his classmate who had knocked out his guards.

"I am Yami, Yugi's guardian angel and best friend. No one even attempts to hurt her without leaving unpunished. It's time for a game of darkness. When you lose, you will face judgement," he said.

"Fine."

Yami and Seto's game is duel monsters. They fought well against each other. Then Kaiba summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The creature did not move with his will. Yami explained it because Solomon's soul was without the Blue-Eye's soul. Then the angel summoned Simorgh who was a part of him like Yugi's was. It all ended in a draw, but the card was safe in Yugi's hands to return to her grandfather.

Kaiba left with his pride hurt. Yugi and Yami help their hurt friends and then went home happy.
