Summary: Asuka and Manjoume's romance wasn't handed to either of them on a silver platter. This was something they had to work for. But as sure as a storm, as sweet as perfume, they'll be together.


Manjoume should have been pleased that she was bringing the girls' dorm into the Society of Light. He was; let there be no mistake about that. She swept through them as he had through the boys' dorm and as he continued to do through Ra and Osiris.

Underneath that pleasure was another one that grew stronger every time she defeated an opponent. A deep burning satisfaction at being able to watch her duel and see her skills in action.

She's magnificent. None of her opponents stood a chance. The Light's power infused her as it did him. She didn't taunt them the way he had her, but she didn't need to. The Light always knew what tactics would bring victory. The Light was destiny incarnate.

One by one they fell before her. There were those she didn't bother to challenge, and he wondered about that. Momoe. Junko. They are good duelists. When he had first turned Obelisk Blue into Obelisk White, they had dared to consider challenging him. She had been the one to do it, though. So why did she avoid them now?

"They can give nothing to the Light." That was her answer when he asked her one evening at dinner. "It would be a waste of time to even bother with them."

There was no need to wonder if she spoke the truth. No deception existed between those whom the Light wove together. "You're a credit to the Light, Tenjoin-kun."

Her cheeks flushed at his compliment, just the smallest dusting of pink across them. "Thank you, Manjoume-kun. I should finish them all tomorrow or the next day."

"I'll be there when you do." While he had his own duties, of course, he could always spare time for an excellent duel. Especially when it was Tenjoin-kun who dueled.

The End
