~~~Chapter Three~~~
Yugi cheerfully brings along his Duel Monsters cards when we head to school. He wants to show Jounouchi the game.
"Duel Monsters?"
"Yeah. I became popular when I was in third grade. It's started to become popular at other schools too."
Yugi paces some of the cards on the table in front of him. "Pretty!" Miho exclaims.
"There are thousands of types!"
"That many?" Anzu queries.
Jounouchi is looking at the cards he has in his hand. "So…how do you play?"
"This is a card battle game. Look! The defence and attack points are written, right? Further, you fight your opponent's cards on this field."
"Seems fun," Anzu admits.
Jounouchi puts the cards down and places his hands behind his head. "Really? I don't like these kinds of childish games."
Honda appears behind us wearing a white slash saying 'Strong beautification week' and his arms behind his back. "You don't mean 'childish game'…you mean 'game where you use your head'!"
Jounouchi gets out of his seat and moves in front of Honda glaring at him. "Honda…what's that mean?!"
Honda turns his head to the side. "As you heard, no secret meanings here."
"You bastard!"
"By the way, what's with the getup?" Anzu asks points at the slash Honda is wearing.
"This? These cards are popular right now right? With such a collection item…there will be those who'll obtain rare cards through unjust means."
"Really, over these cards?" Anzu questions sceptically.
"No. There are people in America who come here to buy just one card. Jii-chan is also a mania." Yugi admits cheerfully.
Honda appears in front of Yugi's face. "That's it! I, as a part of Strong Beautification Week, will prevent illegal cards."
"Hey! Hey! That's not really a 'beautification' person's job right?" Jounouchi points out.
"A beautification member doesn't just clean the dirty…The first step is to prevent garbage! This is the beautification member's mission! However…There are few destined for this…No…I am the only one!" He bows slightly. "So I set up Strong Beautification week to fight that…with this, the whole nation…"
"Right, right! Mind if I interrupt?" The teacher states from the front of the class, annoyed. "Today let's begin by introducing a transfer student."
All of a sudden my Ladyship appears by itself on my finger. I normally keep it invisible but it just undone the spell by itself. My ladyship ring is a gold band which has silver vines wrapped around it. The ring itself is a silver. The petal of the lily is moonstone while the gem in the middle is an emerald. Inside the emerald is the image of the Potter family crest.
The Potter family crest is a gold stag with silver lilies wrapped around its antlers. Only one crest is shown at a time but I mostly keep it on the Potter crest as that was what Mama and Papa was.
Suddenly another ring appears on my wedding finger. I try taking it off but I can't remove it. The band is silver with three leaves on the left. These leaves have a diamond in the middle. The top of the ring is a bloomed lotus flower with a moonstone in the centre. I must admit, it is beautiful but why do I get the feeling that I have worn this ring before…a long time ago.
I snap out of my thoughts when I hear Yugi speak. "I wonder what kind of kid it'll be? I hope it's a kid who likes games."
"Please come in." The door opens and the new student is standing there. "He's Kaiba Seto-kun."
He has green hair and brown eyes. His uniform is completely white instead of the usual blue that the rest of the boys wear.
"Kaiba…you mean that…" Miho trails off with Anzu finishing. "…from the top class amusement industry, Kaiba Corporation?"
"Yes, he's the heir."
"Nice to meet you."
Anzu entwines her hands together. "Wonderful!"
Jounouchi moves his head to the side. "A rich, spoiled brat. I can't stand those."
"Oh! There's space next to Yugi."
Yugi looks at Kaiba as he walks over. "Hey!"
Kaiba looks at the floor, picks up the card and holds it out to Yugi. "Duel Monsters right? Yours?"
"Thanks. Are you into games?"
"Yeah! I love them!"
~~~End Of School~~~
We wait as Yugi speaks to Kaiba through the car window. "See you, Yugi-kun. I'll be waiting, so definitely come."
Yugi agrees cheerfully. "I'm definitely going!"
The car drives off. "What a great car!" Miho praises.
"Hey, Yugi. You're getting along already?" Anzu questions.
A smile appears on Yugi's face. "Kaiba-kun is going to show me his card collection."
"Kaiba-kun's house?! Miho wants to go too!"
"Let's all go! I'm sure he'd be pleased! I'm sure looking forward to it!" Yugi suggests happily.
~~~Kaiba's House~~~
Kaiba's home is a large mansion with a fountain in the middle of the garden, hedges and trees surrounding it. My mansions are much larger though they are all on lockdown and only I can get in using my magic and my ladyship ring.
"Hey! Isn't there some law against an individual having such a large house!" Jounouchi demands.
"Of course not!" Anzu denies.
Honda bikes up with Miho sitting on the back. Honda is breathing heavily and takes a few breaths.
"Not taxi right?" Anzu questions.
Kaiba's voice comes from the intercom. "Hey everyone. Glad you made it. Please come in."
The gates open and we head over to the doors. "Wow!" Yugi exclaims amazed.
The doors open and the others make a sound of amazement. Kaiba is standing in front of the door with maids wearing a blue uniform holding a gold circular tray behind him.
"Everyone came? I'm so pleased."
Kaiba leads us through the hallway of his mansion. "What an amazing mansion!" Anzu praises.
"It's no big deal." Kaiba states.
Jounouchi has his arms folded behind his head and a scowl on his face. "If this is 'no big deal' then what would mine be?!"
Anzu chuckles slightly as Honda walks up to Jounouchi. "Jounouchi, jealousy is most unsightly."
Jounouchi grabs a hold of Honda's collar. "Honda! You saying that hella pisses me off! "
Anzu puts her hand on each of their chests and pushes them away from each other. "Hey, you guys! Can you at least act properly here?"
Kaiba laughs. "It's alright. It's more fun if it's lively."
Yugi and I follow behind Kaiba. The rest stay behind briefly before quickly catching up as Kaiba opens a door. "Come, Yugi-kun. This is my card collection."
"Wow!" Yugi exclaims amazed once more.
"What are those?" Anzu asks looking at the trophies.
"It's from when I won the Duel Monsters national tournament."
"Won?!" the five of them exclaim in surprise.
Honda snaps out of his shock and places his hand on Jounouchi's right shoulder. "Give it up. He's way above you." He warns.
Miho walks up to Kaiba. "Kaiba-kun! Instead of the cards…tell us about your amusement parks."
Honda is quick to appear at Miho' side. "Miho-chan, I have some tickets…"
"I'll make a reservation for you at an amusement park," Kaiba suggests.
Miho lets out a cheer as she hugs him. "You're the best!"
This set Honda off. His eyes are twitching with his teeth and fists clenched. There is an illusion of a large blue flame surrounding him. I don't think Honda will be sticking up for him now if Jounouchi talks bad about him.
Kaiba walks towards Yugi after getting Miho to let go of him. "That's right, Yugi-kun, I bet you have some rare cards."
"I don't have any."
"Hey. Didn't you say earlier your Jii-chan had an amazing card?
"I'd definitely like to see," Kaiba states with a look in his eyes being something that I do not like. Not one bit.
"Yugi! Show it to him right away!" Jounouchi encourages.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Honda agrees without hesitation.
Yugi rubs the side of his head briefly before poking two of his fingers together shyly. "Then…"
"Thank you. I look forward to it."
~~~At Game~~~
Yugi tells Grandfather about why we were all there for. Grandfather lets out his usual laugh. "My best card?!"
"Jii-chan, please, can you show it?"
Kaiba bows his head slightly. "Please, definitely show it!"
Grandfather lifts his finger in the air as he laughs. "Look like I've got no choice! It'll be a moment. Where is it…Here it is." He brings out a card with a blue dragon on it.
A shocked look quickly appears on Kaiba's face and he leans forward to get a closer look.
Miho looks disappointed by the card. "What? I thought it'd have diamonds or jewels attached to it!"
"It's no different from the others." Jounouchi agrees in the same tone of voice.
"Right." Honda agrees confused.
"You guys don't get it. It's called Blue Eyes Dragon. It's so powerful its production was cancelled. Mania's would drool at this super rare card!"
"Saying it that way makes it seem more moving." Anzu acknowledges in awe.
Honda bangs his hands on top of the counter. "Oji-san! This kind of card is the most dangerous! As a beautification member, I must warn you! Please turn it over for safekeeping!"
"Why would a beautification member care?"
"True…"Honda agrees sweatdropping.
"Oji-san!" Kaiba calls getting our attention. He walks forward and places a briefcase on the counter. "Th-that Blue-Eyes Dragon…please take all these cards in a trade for it!"
The others let out a sound of shock. "Amazing!" Jounouchi exclaims surprised.
"No." Grandfather denies straight away.
"The refusal was also amazing!" Jounouchi exclaims surprised again.
"There's no way…?" Kaiba asks sounding upset, real this time.
"Kaiba-kun, right? I understand how you feel, but…I'm not keeping the card because it's rare…This card is something given to me from a good friend in America. It's a treasure filled with memory. There is no way I can part with it. Plus, truly precious treasures have your heart in it. This card too. That's why Kaiba-kun too…you should cherish each card in your trunk."
"You're right." Kaiba agrees though I can tell it sound fake. "I was mistaken." He closes the briefcase, picks it up and walks over to the door. "I think I'll go home now."
As soon as Kaiba shuts the door behind him, Jounouchi leans against the counter with a large smile on his face. "Jii-san, you said something great!"
Miho lunges forward and hugs Grandfather. "I see you in a new light!"
Later on that night, Yugi get a phone call from Kaiba but I was tired so instead of finding out what he wanted I went straight to bed, falling asleep as soon as my head hit my fluffy pillow.
~~~Next Day~~~
~~~Before School~~~
Yugi is showing Jounouchi and Honda how to play Duel Monsters. "Take your card from the pile one by one."
"Then I'll start." Honda picks up a card. "Zombie! Attack points 800. Of course, I place it in the graveyard field."
"I'm next." Jounouchi picks up his card. "Dark Dragon! Attack points 1500! Alright! I win!"
Honda bows his head in defeat. "I lost!"
"Nope! Honda-kun wins." Yugi points out.
"Why?" They both questions.
"It's true Zombie's attack and defence are weaker than the Dark Dragon. But its field is the graveyard. Zombie's power is doubled. Pick the right field, and your card's attack points go up."
"Shit!" Jounouchi states annoyed as he drops the cards he was using on the table.
"My cards have the beautification's heart within them!"
"A beautification like you in a zombie would be pretty dirty."
Honda curls his fingers around his chin with a chuckle. "Don't be a poor loser."
Anzu and Miho walk into the classroom. "Good morning!" Miho greets as cheerful as always. "Jounouchi-kun and Honda-kun have started Duel Monster too?"
Anzu closes her eyes as she lifts her hands in the air. She shrugs slightly. "Yeah, they want to challenge Kaiba-kun."
They point at one another and speak at the same time. "That's THIS guy!" They both stand up and glare at each other. "What?!"
They go quiet when Kaiba walks into the room. "Good morning, Yugi-kun."
"Kaiba-kun!"
"By the way, about the phone call last night…" He trails off.
Yugi puts his bag on the desk and opens it. "Yeah. I asked Jii-chan and he let me borrow it for the day."
"Thank you! I wanted to see this again so badly! He taught me to love cards."
Yugi takes out the card and hands it over to Kaiba. "Here! Blue Eyes Dragon."
"Wow! Amazing each time I see it!" He places his right hand in his back pocket. "Thanks." He goes to hand it back but drops it on the ground. "Sorry! Sorry!" He leans down to pick the card up but I notice that he switches the card with another, no doubt a copy. "Here. This card…it only shines when the rightful owner has it."
Kaiba leaves the room followed by the others. I have to stay behind briefly to get some books from the library in different languages such as Arabic and a book on Egyptian hieroglyphics.
I sense Yugi in danger once again and I quickly rush up to the school roof to see Jounouchi and Honda knocked out on the ground and a man has just knocked Yugi out. Before he falls to the ground I catch him and place his head on my lap.
The golden eye appears on Yugi forehead again. When his eyes open they are red instead of his violet. He looks at me briefly before sitting up, his hands on my legs. "Whether it's 'no use' or not…let's find out." He states as he stands up. He places his hand in front of me and helps me stand up before reluctantly letting go.
We both leave the roof (after he beats the men up and I kick them in their private's areas) and head down to where Kaiba is walking towards his car. "Kaiba!" He turns to look at Yugi. "Now…It's game time."
Kaiba takes a step back in surprise. "Yugi."
We head into a classroom where the Duel Monster cards are set up. Yugi and Kaiba sit at the desk while I sit on the table at the side where I am able to see everything.
Kaiba has his arms folded across his chest, an aura of cockiness surrounding him. "Yugi. You know you're challenging a Duel Monsters expert. Think you can win?"
Yugi also has his arms folded across his chest an aura of confidence surrounding him. "I don't know. However…This Duel Monsters game…will be different from before."
"Ohh. I'll look forward to it, Yugi."
"We'll each have 40 cards. Life point, two thousand points. You lose when it hits zero. Game…Start."
Kaiba picks up his first card. "I'll start first. Level 5 Gargoyle. I place him on the Dark Forest field!" The ground starts shaking. "What?"
Green smoke comes from the card and the image of the Gargoyle appears banging its fists against its chest before letting out a roar.
"It can't be!"
"Didn't I tell you? 'This game would be different from all others'. I block your attack with this card. Dark Dragon. I place it on the lake field." The image of the dragon appears in front of the Gargoyle. "Battle!"
The dragon lets out a burst of fire which surrounds the Gargoyle's body which quickly destroys it. He is now down to 1500 life points. Kaiba clenches his fist when it does. He looks down at the card as smoke disappears back inside before the card disappears. "The card…?!"
"That's right…The losing card is completely destroyed. This is…a Duel Monsters Yami game duel!"
Kaiba has his head lowered as his shoulders shake in a silent laugh. He looks up with a smirk on his face and fists clenched. "Interesting! Very interesting, Yugi! This is the ultimate game that I've been searching for! However…this duel won't last very long it seems." He picks up another card. "One of the strongest, rare card…Minotaurus! His field is the desert! Go!"
The dragon set a blast of fire toward Minotaurus which he blocks with the axe he is holding. "It's no use. Minotaurus' attack and defence are higher than the Dragon's!" Minotaurus swipes his sword in front of his destroying Dark Dragon lowering Yugi's life points to 1500. "So…Pull your next card. You won't find a card better than Minotaurus so quickly."
Yugi picks up the next card. "Holy Elf." A lady wearing a blue loose dress across the shoulders with green hair appears with her eyes closed and finger entwined and resting against her chest. Yugi places Holy Elf in a defence position.
Kaiba does the same with Minotaurus and sets one card. Yugi picks up his next card. "The next card…Wight!" Yugi passes his turn and Kaiba picks his next card.
"So here I come. It's the magic card I put down earlier. Growth! Minotaurus' attack power is further increased. Any monster you pick will be useless!" Minotaurus swipes at the Holy Elf, knocking her over and destroying her. Kaiba laughs. "No card you pick can beat Minotaurus! Give it up, Yugi. It's over. Now…pull your last card!"
Yugi reaches for his next card. "Of course I'm not giving up."
"Fine with me."
Yugi looks at the card before looking at Kaiba. "I also have a super powerful card in my hand…Summon Demon! The field: Dark Forest."
"What?! One of the best 5 rare cards?!"
Summon Demon is a large purple figure makes out of bones. Minotaurus is easily destroyed with one blow. "Of course, Minotaurus is no match…"
Kaiba is lowered to 1200 life points. "One of my best cards…Minotaurus…"
Yugi lets out a slight chuckle. "We no longer know how the game is going…There's no card you can pull."
Kaiba takes a card out from his pocket. "That's not true. What controls this game isn't the heart…it's tenacity!" He places the card sneakily at the top of the pile before picking up the same card. "Blue-Eyes Dragon!"
"So you are after all…"
"Of course the field is the Lake!" The white dragon with blue eyes appears out of the water. "Go, Blue-Eyes Dragon!" Kaiba laughs as Yugi's life points are lowered to 50 when he suddenly stops when Blue-Eyes Dragon begins roaring. "What's going on?! Finish him!"
The Millennium Puzzle glow gold slightly as Yugi points at Kaiba. "Kaiba. You don't get it, do you? You don't understand why Blue-Eyes Dragon doesn't attack. It's because your heart isn't in that card!"
"Wh-what?!"
"I can see it. It's Jii-chan's heart in that Blue-Eyes Dragon."
"It can't be…Blue-Eyes Dragon is disappearing?!"
"It's fate to fight…and loyalty to Jii-chan is clashing. It eliminated itself as a resolution."
Kaiba holds the card in disbelief. "That's impossible! The Cards possess no will of their own!" The card disappears from his hand.
"Think that if you want. The card I've picked…is Revive the Dead! It can revive one monster whether enemy or friend."
"What?! That card…!"
"And of course I revive…Blue-Eyes Dragon. It's over, Kaiba. Any card you pick is useless."
This lowers Kaiba's life points down to 100. He scoffs before picking up his next card. "I can't lose! Gremlin! No! This is just a weakling! Wait a moment…the field that draws the most power from a gremlin is…There! Split the Land!"
"What?!" Yugi for once exclaims surprised.
Kaiba laughs as the field is split in two. "If the field is split, the duel becomes a draw! We will meet again!" Kaiba is surrounded by a large cloud of smoke.
When the smoke disappears, Kaiba is gone and the table they were using is destroyed. "Just as expected from the one called Duel Monsters Expert…picking that card in the end." The Blue-Eyes Dragon card is on the floor. Yugi leans down to pick it up. "Jii-chan's heart…I've retrieved it."
Yugi passes out and when he opens his eyes they are violet. It is the real Yugi back in place. We head home and Yugi is quick to pass the card back to Grandfather.
~~~Next Day~~~
Anzu and Jounouchi are walking with Yugi and me after finishing school. "I'm glad you found you Ojii-chan's card."
"It's thanks to Jounouchi-kun and Honda-kun."
"We didn't do a thing." Jounouchi denies. "But just who did…?" He mutters in wonder.
We hear Miho cheering and look to see her holding onto Honda's waist as he rides his bike. "This is better than a taxi!"
"R-really?!" Honda looks and sees us standing in front of them. "W-we have something to do together."
"Honda-kun, go faster!"
"Right!" He agrees.
As they ride past us it isn't long before they both let out a scream. They crash into the pole and fall to the floor, Miho landing on top of him both of their eyes turned into swirls.
"Y-you okay?" Anzu asks.
Honda and Miho aren't listening. "So happy…"
Yugi rubs the back of his head laughing slightly. "That's nice."
"One merit…Miho-chaaan…Miho-chan."
"Man…useless beautification guy."
I chuckle softly as neither Honda or Miho make a move of getting up of the ground.
