So I know you're not expecting an update until I get back but I got bored on the tour bus. We pretty much spend 7 hours on the tour bus and 4 on the streets if that everyday. Oh and don't go to Italy its 35 degrees celcius during the summer :( On a brighter note now, French Ladies are B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. seriously! Belgium girls are good too, I havn't been to Germany yet but I suspect the same. Anyways here's the last chapter to book 1 but be sure the sequel (book 2) is already in my head. Anyways enjoy and yes I will be accepting constructive criticism AND suggestions for book 2.

Chapter 6: Let's Duel!

Do you, Jaden Yuki, take the lovely Alexis Rhodes to be your lawfully wedded wife?

"I do" murmured Jaden

"Wake up, you're late for your duel! Jaden!" yelled Alexis.

Jaden slowly opened his eyes and saw Alexis standing over him. Dammit, it was a dream!

"Oh well" sighed Jaden

"Oh well what?" questioned Alexis. Jaden realized his stupidity but couldn't think of anything to say.

"You're going to be late for you duel" snapped Alexis again.

"Alright I'm getting up" Jaden slowly got out of bed. He slouched into the shower and was reflecting on his dream. It felt so real. I wish it was. Hey if I beat Harrington, it might just come true. Yes. Alexis will definitely say yes. He felt a sudden surge of energy run through him like he suddenly got cocaine shoved into his blood stream. He quickly got out of the shower and got dressed. When he opened the door, he saw Alexis was waiting for him with her arms crossed. She seemed kinda ticked off.

"Hey are you ready to go?" asked Jaden

"I was ready an hour ago Jaden" retorted Alexis. I can't believe he slept in on the day he has a duel. But Alexis couldn't stay mad at Jaden, it was impossible with his smile. His voice was so comforting to her.

"Alright chill Lex, I'm ready now" stated Jaden putting on his Slifer red Jacket. It was a bit roughed up around the edges but it suited him well. They both ran to the Kaiba Dome as fast as they could, they were already 5 minutes late for their duels.

"Jaden"

"Yha Alexis?"

"You're up first"

"I know"

"Just reminding you" Alexis stuck her tongue out. Jaden blushed a bit, it quickly went away when he reached the Kaiba Dome. Jaden rushed in as fast as he could.

"You're late! But what could you expect from a Slifer Slacker like yourself anyway" said Harrington. Jaden wanted to punch him out right there and then but restrained himself. He knew he could beat Harrington in the duel, besides he would never admit defeat if Jaden knocked him out right there so Jaden did the next best thing.

"Get your game on!" yelled Jaden. Both players drew their cards as their duel disks lit up.

Jaden: 4000

Harrington: 4000

"Since I got here first, I'll start" said Harrington "Draw!" Harrington stared at his cards for a bit. I'll play three cards face down and end my turn"

"That's one way to start but I think I'll start a bit bigger!" a confident Jaden drew his card. "I use polymerization to fuse Elemental hero Clayman and Burstrinix to form Rampart Blaster! Now Rampart Barrage" A fury of rockets headed straight for Harrington but he didn't even flinch, he instead activated his facedown card.

"You just activated my trap, Mirage Tube. Now you lose 1000 life points"

Jaden: 3000

Harrington: 2000

"I'll just throw down a face down and end my turn" I have rampart blaster on the field and he has no monsters, I've got this in the bag. Jaden was confident he was going to win.

"My turn!" said Harrington. A smile broke across his face and Jaden didn't like it.

"I activate the magic card Megamorph, now my monster's attack points are doubled because I have less lifepoints than you. Next I'll play the spell card Dark room of Nightmare, now whenever you lost lifepoints, the card will take away an additional 300! You're in way over your head Slacker" yelled Harrington. "Now I summon Big Server. Now big server attack Jaden directly! And remember his attack points are doubled due to megamorph! Don't forget you lose another 300 due to Dark room of Nightmare"

Jaden: 2100

Harrington: 2000

"My turn!" Jaden looked at his cards. Decisions decision hmmmmm. "I play elemental hero Avion in attack mode! Now Avion attack his big server with Quill Cascade!"

"Not so fast, I activate a trap, Draining Shield!" Jaden was shocked, he didn't remember Harrington having that card last time he duelled him.

"Listen to me Jaden. Alexis and I were meant to be you got it! I will defeat you and she and I will finally live happily ever after!"

The thought of being with Harrington sent shivers down Alexis' spine. There is no way I'm marrying him. Especially since I love Jad…" her thought was cut short.

"No way Alexis is marrying you and do you know why Harrington? Because she's marrying me!" It was so typical of Jaden to act before he thinks. This time thought he didn't regret it. Last night he decided to take a chance with Alexis and see through as her fiancé.

Did he just say he wants to marry me? Alexis shook her head again. Maybe she was just imagining things she thought. No I heard him, he said he was going to marry me. Alexis' heart was racing faster and faster. Thankfully she was in the stands so Jaden couldn't see her. She wanted to run down and kiss right there. Her heart was filled with joy at those words. She frowned when she looked down though, the duel wasn't over yet, he still needed to beat Harrington. Alexis wished with all her heart that Jaden would win not only for her but for himself. She knew it could be his only chance to become the next King of Games. She knew how important that was to him.

"I love you!" yelled Alexis from the stands. Jaden turned around and everyone in the stands could see him face. It almost matched his jacket perfectly. Suddenly a beam of light hit Alexis.

"I love you too Lex" shouted Jaden. Alexis almost couldn't believe it. Everyone in the crowd started clapping for them. Alexis sat down slowly, her eyes fixed on Jaden and his chocolate eyes. Harrington looked like he was having a stroke. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"I'll still beat you and win Alexis" yelled an enraged Harrington. Instantly the entire stadium starting yelling at Harrington"

"BHOOOO. YOU SUCK! YHA GO HOME" yelled the stadium. Jaden gestured for them to calm down.

"If I beat you, you have to promise to leave Alexis alone got it?" demanded Jaden.

"Fine but remember if I win, I get to marry her and you can't stop me" retorted Harrington.

"Fine, I believe it was my turn" shouted Jaden. "Rampart Blaster, attack his big server with Rampart Barrage!" A dozen missils hit Harrington's big server but thanks to his draining shield, he was still very much still in the game. "I think I'll just throw down a face down and end my turn"

Jaden: 2100

Harrington: 1400

"Now, I will prove that a Slifer like yourself would never marry someone like Alexis" Harrington smiled as he drew his card. "Now I play pot of Greed which lets me draw 2 more cards" Harrington drew his cards, he looked pleased. "First I'll play cost down. Now I summon Server Ace! (it's a made up card incase you didn't know)

Atk: 2400

Def: 1200

"Now Server Ace attack his Rampart Blaster! Oh did I mention when Server Ace attacks a monster, that monster's defence points are deduced from the controller's lifepoints"

Alexis couldn't bear to watch Jaden lose. She covered her face with her hands, she felt a sting behind her eyes but than she heard cheering, she saw Jaden was still Alive. A huge sigh of relief went through her body. He still had a chance.

"You activated my trap, Hero Barrier. This blocks one of your attacks" Jaden smiled and waved to the crowd and Alexis. She felt relieved but was still nervous, Jaden could still lose.

"What ever, you're just stalling" said Harrington confidently.

"This ends now Harrington" Harrington was surprised. "I play de-fusion and defuse my rampart blaster and now I play fusion recovery and return a polymerization to my hand. Next I'll fuse Avion and Burstrinix to form Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" the crowd cheered as Jaden's signature monster appeared on the field. "I'm not done yet, next I play Sky Scraper!" Flame Wingman's attack points rose to 3100! Harrington looked like he was about to faint when he saw it. "Now Flame Wingman attack his Server Ace with sky dive scotcher!" The Flame Wingman dived from the top of the highest skyscraper and incinerated Harrington's Server Ace.

"NOOOOO MY ALEXIS, WE WERE MENT TO BE!" Harrington ran out of the stadium crying just like the first time he lost to Jaden.

Harrington: 0

Jaden: 2100

"And that's game!" Jaden was doing his signature pose for the cameras and the crowd. There was one person in the crowd that was silent though. Alexis didn't know what to do. Part of her wanted to run down and embrace him but the other part of her was still shocked to hear those words. But she didn't have to make her decision, Jaden rushed up the stands with a huge smile plastered all over his face, he was waving at Alexis to come down. Alexis slowly got up and walked over to the fleet of stairs now knowing what to expect or do. They both stood there starring into each other's eyes for a second as if they both knew what the other was trying to say.

"Alexis" whispered Jaden

"Jaden" Alexis was still unsure what to say but she had to say something.

"Last night, I-I-I looked up what fiancé meant" blurted Jaden. He didn't what got into him but the words didn't come out easy. Alexis' heart fluttered and almost skipped a beat. Did he actually find out what fiancé means? Dozens of questions went through her head but she could ask any of them she got an answer.

"Lex, if you don't want me to be your fiancé just…" Alexis put a finger on his lips. Their faces got closer and closer until they were just an inch apart. Alexis could feel his warm breath on her cheeks. Jaden closed his eyes and slowly bent down. He felt her warm lips on his, it felt like something out of a fairy tale. Her lips were soft, warm and gentle to the touch. Thoughts raced through his mind. MMMM she tastes like strawberries yummm. What am I doing I can't be thinking about that right now I gotta focus on kissing but man she tastes good. Alexis had similar thoughts go through her head. I never knew Jaden was so kissable. They wanted the moment to last forever but soon ran out of breath. They broke apart and gasped for air. For a moment they looked into each other eyes again before the crowd cheered them on. Jaden took her hand and walked out of the stadium.

Back at Industrial Illusions head quarters Kaiba and Pegasus saw the entire thing.

"Jaden reminds me of Yugi boy don't you think?" asked Pegasus.

"Yha but he still has a long way to go" Kaiba had an arrogant grim like he was planning something.

"What are you planning Mr. Kaiba" asked Pegasus.

"I think if Jaden wins this tournament we should give him a wedding. Besides it not everyday someone gets to face the King of Games" the old Kaiba would've never been so nice but that was all in the past. Once Kaiba saw Yugi defeat Atem he finally lightened up.

"I completely agree with you, an all expenses paid wedding courtesy of Industrial Illusions" what do you think Mr. Kaiba. Pegasus knew all to well Kaiba wasn't going to be happy with that but he still wanted to try.

"Kaiba Corp is sponsoring the wedding got it!" Kaiba did become nicer after he saw Yugi duel but he still flaunted his power when ever he could. Pegasus sighed but gave in knowing all to well Kaiba wouldn't take anything less. He still wondered why Kaiba always flaunted his power though, everybody already knew he was rich and powerful. I guess some thing will never change.

While Kaiba and Pegasus were talking about Jaden, he and Alexis were out celebrating his victory.

"So Alexis when did you figure out what fiancé meant?" asked Jaden.

"I knew when I was 12, Atticus told me about marriage and said how he was going to find the perfect boyfriend for me"

"Wait so you knew all this time and didn't bother telling me?" Jaden's mouth was wide open; he couldn't believe Alexis never told him. He just assumed she didn't what it meant either when he and Harrington had their first duel. Alexis giggled at Jaden, he could always make a fool out of himself yet still make her love him. She bent forward and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I love you Jaden"

"I love you too Lex"

The End
