Last time: "Time to bring out the big guns, Yugi, no more mucking around I summon Heat Reaper to the field!" Aurora smiled, finally this duel was about to get intresting.

A Black Cloaked figure appeared on the field, it's hood was drawn so you could only see a pair of glaring red eyes.

"I play Gaia The Fierce Knight in Attack mode." Aurora looked at her hand and winced, she had nothing that could power up Heat Reaper enough so he would be able to attack Gaia The Fierce Knight. She could only change Heat Reaper to Defense mode, and hope Yugi didn't have anything planned. Heat Reaper's attack points were 2300 and defense points were 2200. Her Attack points couldn't beat Gaia while he was in attack mode, she needed him in defense, but not only that she needed him in attack so she could get Yugi's lifepoint's down. She started to get frustrated, not with Yugi, but with herself.

'I have to be able to do this, there has to be some way of getting his attack points down.' She thought, trying to hide her frustrated face in her arm. She didn't want Yugi to know she was having trouble controlling her anger.

"Come on, Yug'!" Yugi's friend's called, Yugi smiled warmly at them. Aurora looked sad and doubtful, one duel didn't matter, just because she couldn't control her deck didn't neccessary mean she was a bad duelist right? Just because she had no friend's supporting her didn't mean she couldn't win.

"It's your move, Aurora." Yugi reminded her carmly. Aurora resisted the temptation of putting her hand over her deck and giving up and threw all her must into drawing her next card. She smiled slightly, she remembered this card, Woodland Reaper, it resembled Heat Reaper in many way's. She remembered sitting on the field with her 'friend's' who had eventually deserted her. She had that card in her hand now, as she had done that day. She held it the same way, tear's beginning to form at the sides of her eye's. Wiping them away she changed Heat Reaper into defense mode and prayed for the best.

"Are you alright, Aurora?" Teá asked, calling to the white haired teenage girl.

"Hmm? Me?" Aurora looked up, "I'm good, thanks Teá," Aurora looked Yugi straight in the eye, Yugi didn't blink or look away. A smile was playing at the edge of his mouth.

"Bad hand?" he asked, Aurora looked wide eyed at him, how did he know?

"Oh, I wouldn't count on it." She bluffed, his smile became a grin, then lurked back into the shadows from once it came.

Aurora thought Yugi was going to attack Egyptian Wolf but he drew another a card and said simply:

"I end my turn." Aurora knew he was up to something, there was no mistaking it, he had a hand that could wipe the floor with her in a matter of milliseconds. Maybe he was going easy on her. Aurora's hand lurked over her deck, she drew, her heart racing.

"I play this card face down." She smiled menacingly, she was in the hand's of fate now. She had played a direct attack monester card on the field. Yugi would think it was a trap, she would activate it soon, hopefully the ball was in her court in this.

Yugi seemed to know his next move instantly,

"I play Dark Magician in Attack mode." Aurora swore mentally, Dark Magician was enough to take out all the monesters on the field in a matter of seconds. Why was Yugi playing Dark Magician anyway? Was he trying to make it seem he needed to take it to the Max to destroy her?

Dark Magician appeared on the field, Aurora shut her eye's, it was now or never.

"I activate Whismical Fate," A red elf appeared in the middle of the field, half was dark, on Yugi's side, and half was light, on Aurora's side.

"Whismical Fate, use Ebony Talisman." The red elf held a Talismen out, holding it so both Yugi and Aurora could see. One side was black with a seven pointed star in it, the other was white with a red flame in it. In the middle was a gold hand, like one on a clock. Immediately the hand started to tick.

"Choose a number Yugi, any number." Aurora said, smiling at Yugi's confusion at the matter.

"Er, seven." The hand fell to Yugi's side, then Aurora's, then back to Yugi's.

"The hand will move seven times starting from you, Yugi. If it land's on you.... just wait and see." Aurora smiled. The sixth hand fell on Aurora, so the seventh fell on Yugi. Yugi frowned as nothing happened. But suddenly a noise was heard, his lifepoints were reducing. He gasped, his lifepoints we're down to 3000 and still going down.

"Ebony Talisman cut's you lifepoints straight in half Yugi." Aurora said, making a cutting motion with her hand diagonally. Yugi's lifepoint's stopped at a clear 2000, Yugi was horrified.

"Don't blame it on me, fate led you down this path." Aurora said coldly at Yugi's expression.

"I-I didn't say it was your fault," Yugi said, still slightly shocked at the decrease of his lifepoints.

"Nah, 'e didn't!" Joey shouted, siding with Yugi, "After all you did play dat card anyway, so it is half your fault!" He said, pointing an acusing finger at Aurora.

"I don't know why your so worked up, Yugi could of lost those lifepoints by losing a monester and you wouldn't throw such a fit then would ya, Hound?" Aurora barked coldly back at Joey, who was being restrained by Tristan and Teá.

"What did ya call me? Came and say dat to ma face!" Joey said, trying to fight off Tristan and Teá. Ryou was standing back with the crowd of people, as if he didn't know Joey or Aurora and Serenity was amazed at her brother's behavour. Yugi looked determinedly at Aurora and shouted:

"Dark Magician attack Heat Reaper!" Dark Magician, true to form, wiped Heat Reaper from the field.

"Don't think you can insult my friend's and get away with it lightly, Aurora, because your can't. This Duel is far from over, I may only have 50% of my lifepoints left but I have 100% support from my friend's." Yugi said, as Heat Reaper was destroyed. Heat Reaper had been in defense mode so she lost no lifepoints. She looked at her hand, drawing the only level 7 card in her deck, Woodland Reaper, it's attack points were 2500 and defense was 2600. Yugi smiled, almost innocently.

"I play monester reborn, I bring Heat Reaper back from the graveyard in Attack mode." Aurora looked up from her hand at Yugi. The word's Heat Reaper flitted across her lip's.

"I also play the card I had face down, Reinforcements, to raise Heat Reaper's attack points to 2800." Yugi finished, Aurora couldn't believe it, not only was her own monster against her now, but Yugi had managed to power it up too. Now he had Dark Magician and Heat Reaper on the field. '

They looked good together, to be honest.' Aurora thought, 'A true team.'

"Whismical Fate, use Ebony Talisman." Aurora cried before she could think. Whismical Fate drew the Taslisman out and waited for Yugi's call.

"Lucky number 6." Yugi called, Aurora shut her eye's as her Lifepoints started to reduce to 1500. She couldn't believe she was acting like this, as if all the hurt she had bottled up during 16 years was finally catching up with her. She fell to her knees, her trousers scraping the ground. She bowed her head low, and watched through teary eye's as her tear's fell to the ground.

'What's wrong with her?' Yugi thought.

'Memories.' Yami said inside Yugi.

'What do you mean? Memories?'

'The Memories she has kept tight inside her, about her great grandfather and her past. Playing with The Fate Deck, as it's named, open's up a person's soul. Aurora has had a harder life than most people, she isn't as cold on the inside as she is on the outside.' Yami explained, Yugi could almost feel his heart reaching for Aurora. She had, of course, done a spur of the moment thing by using Ebony Talisman, she relied on fate too much. He was amazed that Aurora's own deck was making her lose, as if her deck was against her.

"No, no, no. I don't wanna go back, they'll beat me for leaving, but they'll find me. They'll hurt me." Aurora placed her hands in front of her so she could see them, the tear's ran down her face freely now. Nothing was held back, right in front of Yugi and his friend's Aurora poured her soul out. "She says I'm losing my heart, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not...." she trailed off, her head still bowed. Suddenly she flushed red, and stood up.

'She's trying to fight her deck...' Yami informed Yugi.

Yugi, stunned by Aurora's sudden burst of strength, muttered "Pass." Though subconciously doing so.

Aurora, the stubbornist person she knew personally, tried to regain all dignity lost. But what was lost could not be returned, so in a bid to take people's mind off the fact she had broke down in tear's right in front of them she drew her power up card for Woodland Reaper.

"I play Master Bow, raising Woodland Reaper's attack points by a quarter of my Lifepoints." Woodland Reaper's attack points increased by 375 making it 2875 attack points.

"Woodland Reaper attack Heat Reaper with Arrow Rot!" Woodland Reaper drew back his bow and let an Arrow fly into where Heat Reaper's heart would be. Heat Reaper dissapeared from the field and returned to the graveyard.

Yugi lost hardly any Lifepoints, they were reduced to 1925.

"I play this card face down, and end my turn." Yugi said, regaining composure. Aurora became airheaded, thinking 'Good, now I can wipe Dark Magician from the field.'

"Attack, Woodland Reaper, Arrow Rot!" Aurora shouted, pointing at Dark Magician, Woodland Reaper drew his Bow back amd let the Arrow shoot, but it dissapeared before it hit Dark Magican.

"Wha-what?" Aurora stuttered, Yugi turned hid trap card round, from infront of him.

"My Trap Hole stopped Woodland Reaper dead in his tracks," Woodland Reaper dissapeared from the field. Aurora looked sad again, her power being destroyed. She only had Whismical Fate on the field now. Yugi drew a card and smiled.

"I play Summoned Skull in Attack mode." Yugi called, Aurora looked over her hand.

"I play Feure Wolf In Attack mode," Aurora could see it coming, but just a second too late.

"Summoned Skull, Attack Feuer Wolf." Aurora's Lifepoint's reduced to 1300.

Aurora couldn't believe this, she was losing badly, Yugi had 1925 Lifepoints, and she had 1300 now. The only monsters she could possibly draw would only be a level 3 or 4 not enough to beat Summoned Skull.

Sighing she drew a level 3 card, "I play Elegant Tiger in Attack mode,"

Serenity smiled, the tiger was beautiful, it was a Bengal tiger, it's eye's were warm flame colour and it's nose was as black as night. Aurora looked up and caught Yugi smiling at the Tiger too, but quickly he looked up at Aurora. He was still smiling, but it was a sad smile as he called out his final attack. Dark Magician wiped Elegant Tiger from the field and Aurora's lifepoints reduced to 0. A single tear fell down Yugi's cheek as he watched Aurora again fall to her knee's. Teá, Serenity, Joey and Tristan were by her side instantly. Teá wrapped her in a hug, wiping away Aurora's tears. Aurora took her deck back as Yugi made his way over to her.

"That was great," he said, holding out a hand to pull Aurora up with.

"But I guess the better duelist won." She grabbed his hand and he pulled her up. She held on to his hand for a second, as if it were a lifeline. But, she smiled at him again and turned to go.

But, after remembering a incident that had happened during the duel she turned back to Joey.

"I'm sorry for calling you a Hound, Joey, your not, and you never will be." She looked up at him, she seemed to of shrunk so she had to look up to him.

"Dats okay, Aurora, next time you'll be duelin' me." He smiled at her, "Dat Tiger was beautiful,"

"Yeah," Aurora agreed, she glanced over to the outskirts of the park, standing outside was Kaiba, had he seen the whole duel?

"He's been watching since you started," Teá said, Joey, Tristan, Ryou and Serenity turned to look at her, "I didn't mention it though."

"Spying," Aurora spat, suddenly, the reformed Aurora changed, back into the street punk that they had met the day before. She took off her Duel disc and started making her way towards Kaiba. The group exchanged troubled glances, it looked like World War 3 was on the rampage.

"You been watching me and Yugi duel?" she shouted, Kaiba turned to look at her, his eye's narrowed.

"Oh no, he we go again." he said quietly, a few people in the park turned to watch Aurora and Seto. That made Aurora even more determined to show him up.

"Why are so unsocialable?" Seto asked, straighting up.

"I'm not unsocialable, I just hate people." Aurora snapped, walking right up to face him, "Why were you watching me?" She was inches from him now, near enough to lay a punch if she had wanted to.

"What if I was? It's a free Country." Aurora sneered and moved her face close to his.

"I would of liked to insult you but the sad truth is you wouldn't understand me." Kaiba looked angry.

"You've bothered me far too much today, punk, get out of way!" Kaiba barked, trying to get past Aurora who kept stepping so she was in his way.

"Are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today?" Aurora asked, almost laughing at Kaiba's failed attempts to pass her. Joey was staring to crack up now, he was bent double at the sight of Kaiba trying to pass Aurora.

"What you laughing at Mutt? You aimless, alleybred mongrel!" Aurora stopped laughing and gasped, she held her hand back and slapped Kaiba clean across the face.

"Scum!" She yelped at him, angerily. Kaiba's hand shot to his face, he couldn't recall being slapped by anyone before. "How dare you, you fleabitten , dogbreathed troll, I know you are nobody's fool, but maybe somebody will adopt you."

Kaiba must of taking the 'adopting' thing a little too personally, after all Aurora didn't know about him and Mokuba being adopted.....

Joey, Teá, Yugi, Tristan, Serenity and Ryou ran over, shock on all their faces at the display of attidutes before them. The sound of Aurora's slap had carried over a lot of the park, head's turned at the sight of the CEO of KaibaCorp.'s red face. Kaiba, losing his anger actually lashed out at Aurora, she stumbled and fell to the ground. The edges of Kaiba's mouth twinged, Aurora kept her angry face for one more second. It looked as if, to the bystanders, like Aurora was going to jump up and kick him. But her face broke into a smile, looked like both the Kaiba brothers could make her smile. She laughed, putting her head down and looking at the floor.

"You pushed me, I didn't expect you to do that." She looked back up at him.

"Why don't we start with a clean slate?" Kaiba asked, holding out his hand to assist her getting up, as if her grabbing his hand would sign the truce. She turned a blind eye to the hand and brushed herself off.

"Maybe, just don't let your mind wander - it's far too little to be let out on its own." She smiled at Yugi and his friend's and said:

"Chow guys," With one lasting look at Kaiba she left the park and made her way down the road.
