Chapter 7!

Bentstu: Glad you enjoyed the spa event! I don't honestly know what made me think of it, but I'm glad it fit.

Flame-Metal-Heart: Glad you thought it was cool. I worried it might be too boring with Yusei being so nervous, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Also, for yoshi . abbycoco, there's a duel in this Chapter! I hope you guys and gals enjoy it!

As Yusei took a deep breath, all of the guys surrounded him. "Man! I thought your date didn't go so well," Crow exclaimed, "But then you hugged not once, but twice!" Yusei chuckled. "Yeah. Akiza and I are probably going to be quite affectionate," he noted. Jack rolled his eyes. "Please don't be one of those couples that can't keep their hands off of one another and are lovey dovey 24/7." Yusei shrugged. "Hey, I wouldn't mind that. In fact, I'd actually love it," he replied as he then eyed Jack, "Plus, it'd be nice to be affectionate all of the time, instead only when I'm trying to get some action." Jack turned to him and Yusei stuck out his tongue, as everyone else laughed.

At Akiza's house, her parents were full of questions and wonder. "So how did it go?" they asked once Akiza came into the door. Akiza smiled. "It was fine," she replied. "Was he a gentleman?" her father questioned. "Kind of," she replied, "Although, he was really really nervous." Mr. Izinski smiled. "Yusei? Really? The man's battled Dark Signers and saved the world, but he gets nervous about a date with you?" Akiza smiled as she sat down on a recliner.

"Yeah. I can't believe it either." Ms. Izinski smiled as she drank some coffee. "He must really like you Akiza," she noted. Akiza blushed. "Mom! We don't know that yet. He's never told me that." Mr. and Ms. Izinski looked at one another and chuckled. "What's so funny?" Akiza asked. They both quickly drank their coffee. "Nothing," they both replied. Akiza rolled her eyes and stood up.

"I think that coffee's getting to your head," she said as she walked upstairs.

As Akiza went to her bedroom, she laid on her bed and sighed. "That was amazing!" she replied as she closed her eyes and thought about the way Yusei smiled at her. When they said goodbye, it wasn't sad at all. Getting to smile at each other like that was amazing! Not to mention the fact that Yusei and Akiza hugged twice in a row. It was so cool to feel each other's warmth coming through each other's bodies. Akiza sighed as she enjoyed the moment and couldn't wait to experience it again.

The next day, Leo and Luna called their friend Dexter up. "Come on Dex! Lets go see Yusei again! It's been a while since you've visited and you haven't met his new friends Yami and Jaden." Dexter looked away. "Are...are you sure he'd want me to?" Luna nodded. "Of course Dexter! He's your friend. And besides, Akiza and him are finally starting to get together! So we'll be able to ask them about how their date last night went."

"Their dating?" he asked, "When did that start?" Leo grinned. "They just started last night. It's about time those two got together. Heck, when you were at the Fortune Cup, we even talked about what Yusei did for her seemed like much more than friendship." Dexter agreed. Those two did seem to have a connection or "bond" that seemed like much more than friendship. "Okay," he replied, "Are you sure he wouldn't be mad if we asked him about the date?" Luna laughed.

"I'm sure not," she replied, "But he might get defensive about it and maybe start to blush. It'll be a lot of fun." Dexter smiled. "All right. Maybe I'll head over." They all said goodbye and Dexter hanged up. As he made his way outside, he thought about what Leo and Luna had talked about. Ever since life had gotten back to normal, the twins had spent more time with this "Yami and Jaden" characters as well as everyone else. As Dexter made a right, he walked past a dueling store.

Inside, were tons of dueling cards and other equipment. On the top of the walls, were pictures of "legendary duelists." What Dexter, and everyone else, didn't know was that two of the pictures had been changed. Normally, there a picture of Yami, Jaden, and Yugi individually. However, since two of them had arrived, the two pictures had been replaced by just Yugi.

In another section, were "current top duelists." Sure enough, there were three pictures as well. One of Yusei, one of Jack, and one of Akiza. Some people might argue that Sherry was just as good, but the people of New Domino definitely agreed that Akiza had dueling skills far beyond Sherry's (both in Turbo and standing duels). Plus, it was some French woman versus the hometown woman. The hometown would win almost every time.

As Dexter looked inside, he looked at the, now different, three pictures of Yugi. He sighed, as he knew he would never be as good as him. He looked over and saw the Yusei, Jack, and Akiza pictures. It felt so strange that such good and legendary people could even consider him a "friend." He looked back to the Yugi pictures and wondered if any of Yugi's friends thought the same thing. He finally checked his watch and decided he had done enough pessimistic thinking. He then went on his way and headed towards the garage.

When he got there, Leo and Luna were waiting outside. "Hey you guys," he replied, "Did you guys go in yet?" Leo shook his head. "No way! We don't want you having to go introduce yourself all alone." Luna agreed. "Yeah. Lets all go in together." As they all walked in, Dexter felt shy and nervous. When the door opened, all eyes went to them. "Hey Yusei," Leo said.

"Hey Leo, hey Luna." His eyes then went to the only person left. "Hey Dexter! How's it going?" Dexter gulped. "Um...okay," he replied. He then saw, as he went downstairs, that two new people came up to him. They were a little taller than him, but he felt as though they were much bigger than that. "Hi! I'm Jaden," Jaden said as he stuck out his hand. Dexter then shook it. "H...Hi. I'm Dexter."

"Nice to meet you Dexter," Yami replied, "I'm Yami." Dexter looked at him and his face. Yami tiled his head as Dexter then spoke.

"Y...Yugi," he said hesitantly.

Everyone gasped. "Yugi?" a number of them repeated. Yami could only laugh. "No. My name's Yami," he replied. Dexter tilted his head. "But...don't you look a lot like Yugi? The famous duelist?" Crow leaned in. "You know. I never noticed that before. He kinda does." As the rest of them looked on, Yusei was baffled. 'Why could he remember that?' he wondered, 'Aren't Yami and Jaden's past not able to be remembered by anyone in this time, except for people that have met them before in the past?'

As Jack, the twins, and Akiza all looked Yami over, Crow got an idea. "Lets look it up!" he proclaimed and they all went over to Yusei's laptop. When the group got over, Jaden and Yami went over to Yusei. "You guys," Yusei said in a loud whisper, "How are they able to recolonize you?" Yami smiled. "They won't be able to recognize me," Yami explained, "Yugi was a separate part of me, so he still exists while I'm here. Don't worry and just watch." Yusei wasn't so sure and watched as they all looked up the legendary duelist.

"Hey yeah!" Crow said as he pointed at the screen, "Look at this!" Everyone ohhed and ahhed at the similarities. "Okay." Yami said as he stepped forward, "You got me. Yugi is related to me down the blood line. He's my great grandfather." Everyone smiled. "Wow! That's cool," Jack replied, which was rare for him. Yami then put an arm around Jaden. "And he's somehow related to Abraham Lincoln." Leo ran up to him.

"Lincoln?" Leo asked, "You mean the tall guy that was our President a gazillion years ago and helped with black people and all that stuff?" Jaden nodded. "Yep. The very same." Leo was all excited about Jaden, but Jack and Crow were more impressed with Yami. "The resemblance between you and Yugi is pronominal," Yami chuckled. "Yeah, but at least I didn't end up as short as him." They all laughed at the comment.

As for Jaden, he didn't remember his US history as well as he should. So, he let Leo fill him in on some of the details, as he had to pick a President to do a report on. Jaden smiled and wondered how well they had escaped their trouble. His explanation had less problems than Yami, as Jack and Crow started firing questions. "So do you have any good dueling tips?" Jack asked. "Did Yugi leave anything for you?" Crow asked, "Do you have any of his legendary stuff?"

As they fired even more questions, Yusei went up to him. "Okay guys, I think that's enough." He smiled as he looked over at Akiza. Through this whole thing, Akiza didn't bother either Jaden or Yami. She stood next to Luna, who watched as Leo tried to walk like Lincoln. "Akiza, are you doing all right?" he asked. Akiza nodded. "Yeah. Is everything okay with you?" Yusei nodded. "Yeah. Thanks so much for asking." They both smiled as Jack and Crow had an idea.

"Hey! Lets go to the dueling shop!" Jack suggested. Everyone turned to him. "Why would we do that?" Leo asked. "Because we're talking about dueling and I remembered that they just released some new cards," Jack explained, "Plus, that way, we can help Jaden and Yami build up a new deck." Everyone looked around and shrugged. "Well...I guess we can go," Crow replied and they soon found themselves outside and locking the door.

As everyone walked, Yusei and Akiza found themselves walking side by side yet again. Everyone wondered if they would ask for a second date out. "So...is everything going okay?" Yusei asked. Akiza looked at him puzzled. "Yeah. Why? Is there something you wanna tell me?" Yusei looked away. "No. It's just..." He knew this wasn't exactly where he wanted to bring it up, but he felt like he should say it. "I...just...uh..." Akiza looked at him funny. "Really...had a really fun time the other night."

Akiza smiled. "I did too Yusei." She leaned in close and whispered. "We can schedule another date later. When there aren't so many eyes on us." Yusei and her locked eyes as Yusei donned a confidence smile. "That sounds wonderful," he replied softly. It made Akiza feel giddy at the thought that he really wanted to go out with her again. Yusei was also excited at the thought, as the second date might be a little more affectionate. The thought of getting to show the soft, gentle side of him made Yusei beam with joy.

Behind them, Dexter had remained rather quiet since he had arrived. He still got nervous around Yusei and the others, especially his two new friends. Still, Yami remembered that they never really got to get antiquated, so he slowed down, and caught up to him."Hey, we never really got to catch up," Yami stated, "I'm Yami." He stuck out his hand.

"Dexter," he replied. Dexter didn't know what to say, but Yami did. "So, you're friends with Leo and Luna?" Dexter nodded. "Since we were little kids," he replied. Yami smiled. "Do you duel?" Dexter looked at him like he was crazy. "Of course," he replied, "I do go to Duel Academy." Yami nodded. "R...ight," he replied, "I knew that." After a brief moment of silence, Yami thought of something. "Would it be okay if I look at your deck?" Dexter quickly became nervous. "Um...I don't have it with me," he replied.

"How far away do you live?" Yami asked. "A ways away," he replied, not wanting to have this go where it was going. "I'd really like to see your deck," Yami replied, "Could we go and get it?" Dexter became even more nervous. It was bad enough to have his so-called "friends" be considered the top duelists in the world. But now, he was going to have a man who was connected to the great Yugi Muto, look at his deck. Dexter didn't know it, but Yami had a much closer and historical side to knowing Yugi. "I...I'm not sure," Dexter answered back, "Maybe we could." Yami smiled. "Well lets go get it," he replied.

As they were about to go inside the card shop, Yami announced to the group, "Hey! We're going to go get Dexter's deck. I really wanna look at it. Will you guys still be here when we get back?" Yusei nodded and Yami and Dexter went on their way. Dexter quickly walked, but Yami was able to keep up. Dexter didn't really talk as they walked. He felt nervous and embarrassed. What if he thought his deck was crap? What if he finally showed it to Yusei and he then told him it was garbage? Dexter was really regretting this.

When Dexter finally got to his apartment, Yami looked around. It wasn't the fanciest, but it wasn't trash either. The one thing Yami noticed was no mother or father around. "Where are you're Mom and Dad?" Yami asked. "They're like Leo and Luna's," Dexter replied, "They're always on business and never around." Yami frowned. "Do you miss them?" Dexter sighed.

"I don't know," he replied, "I'm glad that they can let me live like this, but I do miss the love and affection a lot. I'd like to get hugs, kisses, and all that kind of stuff. However, I've realized that I might spend my whole life alone. No one could love a loser like me." Yami frowned as Dexter got his deck. Neither said a word until they got back to the card shop. When they got there, Yami instantly noticed Yusei in one area of the store, with Akiza in another. Jack and Crow were looking through stuff, as Jaden was on his own. First, Yami went up to Jack and Crow.

"Hey guys, whatcha doing?" Crow picked up some cards. "We're trying to figure out what deck to build," he replied. "So what deck did you wanna make?" Yami looked around. "Uh...?" he wondered out loud. Yami had no idea what was the new and best type of deck to assemble. He turned to Dexter and smiled. "Dexter, can I see your deck?" Dexter nervously pulled it out and handed it to him. Yami pulled out Dexter's top card.

"I want to make a deck like Dexter's!" he decided after seeing the card. Crow and Jack looked at him as if he was out of his mind. "Dexter's? Are you crazy?" Jack asked. Dexter frowned, but Yusei overheard them and came over. "Hey! Yami can pick whatever deck he wants. Besides, he could also pick another type to work with." Jack and Crow were confused. "What do you mean?" Crow asked, "He could work with two types?" Yusei smiled.

"Sure. Like..." He spotted Akiza. "I could make a deck with some of my monsters and then some plant monsters, like Akiza's for example. That way, I'd have two decks to play with and have a good chance of getting a card here or there that works." Jack just laughed. "Or you could make it look really stupid and get beaten to a pulp." Yusei frowned. "What are you saying?" he asked. Crow put a fist in the air.

"I say it's a challenge," he replied, "Make a deck with Akiza's plants monsters mixed with yours. Then, Yami can see how well it'll work." Yusei smiled. "All right, sounds like a good idea." Yusei then went over to Akiza to propose it. "Akiza, can I talk to you for a minute?" Akiza looked up. "Um...yeah sure." Yusei frowned. "Akiza, is something wrong?" Akiza shook her head.

"No..." she answered back very quickly, "I just was looking at a way to make my deck stronger." She looked down. "Would...would it be all right to ask for your advice? I know you're probably very busy." Yusei smiled. "Of course Akiza. I'd be more than happy to help you." Yusei then leaned in forward and looked at the card she was holding. "Would this be a good card to add?" Akiza questioned. Yusei looked at it and they started talking about it.

"It would be a good fit," he replied after a few moments, "After all, you wanna get Black Rose Dragon out as soon as possible." Akiza nodded. "If anyone knows my deck as good as I do, it's you Yusei." Yusei quickly tried to hide a blush. "Yeah...right," he replied bashfully, "Uh...anyways, lets look over some of these other cards together." As they looked over some more plant monsters, Jack was growing impatient. "Come on Yusei! Lets see some decks out and some card swapping!" Yusei turned around and tried to give Jack a mean look. Akiza then asked him what he was talking about.

"Um...Yami wanted to do a mixture of two decks. I said yes and Jack said no. So, I was going to duel him with some of my cards and some of your cards mixed together." Akiza was stunned. "My cards?" she asked and Yusei became afraid. "Why? Is that a problem? Are you upset Akiza?" Akiza took a good look at him. There was concern and worry in his eyes, even if it was for some stupid bet with Jack.

"No. It's fine Yusei. It's just that I really need help with my deck and I wanted to make it better. I was hoping we could do that together, but if you need to do some bet with Jack, then I understand." Yusei nodded. "Akiza, I'd be more than happy to help you. That's much more important than what we're doing, so lets focus on your needs first." They both started to look through cards, as Jack angrily tapped his finger on his forearm. Finally, he went up to Yusei wanting answers. "Yusei! When are we gonna duel?" Jack shouted and Yusei turned to him.

"Wait until we're done!" Yusei said in an upset tone, "I'm helping Akiza first!" Crow smirked. "Sorry. We just didn't know that you wanted to spend some more time with your girlfriend." Akiza and Yusei gasped. It was the first time, in front of everyone, that they had been referred to as boyfriend and girlfriend. Sure, Martha and Akiza's parents had joked about it, but this time, it was serious.

Yusei smiled and put an arm around Akiza and knew he could use this as a good moment. "Well thank you Crow. I'd be more than happy to spend more time with Akiza." Akiza caught on and followed his lead. "And I'd be more than happy to spend time with my boyfriend Yusei." They both looked at one another and smiled at their teamwork. "Come on Akiza. Lets keep looking," Yusei offered and they both continued to look. Jack and Crow frowned at how well they had played that.

Finally, after five minutes, they found the perfect card to add to her deck. "Wait a minute Akiza," Yusei said as she paid for it, "Let me use it." Akiza was stunned. "Let me use it in my duel," Yusei explained, "And let me prove that our decks working together can work." Akiza nodded and gave it to him, once she got the receipt. Jack and Crow then came up to them. "So you ready to duel?" Jack asked confidently. Yusei shook his head.

"Not quite, Akiza and I have to make our deck." Crow tiled his head. "Our deck?" he asked and Akiza nodded. "That's right! Our deck! It's Yusei and Akiza's deck." Again, Yusei and Akiza looked at one another and smiled proudly. This was going to be fun. And the thought of combining their decks sounded like an inedible bonding feeling. When they got back to the garage, Yusei and Akiza quickly took out their decks and started looking through them.

As they looked, they found some cards that were good and they didn't know the other one had. When they put their cards together, the twins and Dexter looked on. Dexter felt guilty, as he had started this whole mess with him bringing his deck to the card shop. On top of that, the twins felt as though they were useless in the whole thing. However, they did enjoy seeing Yusei and Akiza working together. Finally, Luna decided to come over, even as Yusei and Akiza were well into their thoughts.

"Um...Yusei," Luna said and the couple looked up. "What is it Luna?" Yusei asked. "Um...would it be all right if..." She looked back at her brother and Dexter. "If we helped out?" Yusei looked at Akiza, who nodded. Yusei did as well. "Sure thing," he replied and then spoke to all of them, "Leo! Dexter! Do you wanna help us build this deck and beat Jack?" Leo stood up.

"Yeah, because then Jack will throw a hissy fit and it'll be hilarious! Right Dexter?" Dexter looked down. "Um...yeah. I guess," he replied plainly. Leo frowned. "Come on Dex! Don't you wanna beat Jack? Especially since it has to be a standing duel, with Yusei's Runner gone, and we'll get to see Jack go crazy!" Dexter looked up as Yusei and Akiza walked over to him. "Yeah...but..."

"But what?" Akiza asked. Dexter looked at the four of them and frowned. "I feel as though I caused this whole mess. I mean, I was the one to bring my deck to the card shop. Yami wanted to look at it and he then said that he wanted to have a similar deck to his new one." Yusei smiled. "Yeah, but that's a compliment Dexter. And besides, making this new deck has brought Akiza and I much closer together." Dexter felt even worse.

"So...us helping would only spoil that?" Dexter concluded. Yusei shook his head. "No. Of course not. In fact, it would bring the five us closer and better as friends." Yusei reached out and put a hand on Dexter's shoulder. "And I mean it when I say that your my friend Dexter. Really I do." Dexter looked Yusei in the eyes and then at Leo, Luna, and then Akiza. He finally smiled. "Well...if you guys all feel that way, then how could I refuse?" Leo and Luna smiled.

"Of course we do Dexter," Luna replied. "And I feel the same," Akiza added, "Now lets build this deck!" The four of them cheered and then got ready on making the perfect deck.

Later, Jack stood outside with his duel disk on. Leo, Luna, Akiza, Dexter, and Yusei all came out. Yusei smiled as he put the new deck into the holder. "So, you ready to prove that one type deck is the way to go?" Jack asked. Yusei shook his head. "No way. Besides, this might have Akiza's monsters with mine, but it also has Leo, Luna, and Dexter's spirit fused within it too." Jack rolled his eyes. "Are you really going to give me another friendship and bonds speech?" Yusei laughed.

"No, but I sure will prove to you that five minds beat one arrogant one." Jack growled. "All right! That's enough!" Both duelists got ready, said, "Lets duel!", and the duel began.

After a couple turns, Jack was already laughing and smiling. Worse yet, he was smirking at Yusei and making sly remarks."Admit it Yusei!" Jack shouted, "Your deck is worthless. You can barely summon a monster, let alone a combo, because your cards conflict with one another." Yusei looked at his hand and didn't want to admit he was right.

"Come on Yusei!" Leo shouted. "You can do it!" Luna added. Dexter and Akiza were quiet as they watched. Yusei knew that Jack's smack talk meant nothing to him, but the outcome of the duel did. He wanted to let Dexter know that what happened earlier today was not his fault or a bad thing. On top of that, he wanted to show that his contributions lead him to victory.

Most of all, though, Yusei wanted to show Akiza just how great her deck was. Sure, a victory would also show that Yusei had a good deck as well. However, if Akiza and his deck are fused together, they made an awesome, unstoppable force, even against the number two ranked duelist in the world. Although he couldn't say it here or now, Yusei wanted Akiza to know that she was the greatest duelist in his eyes and that together, with this deck, their greatness put together could defeat all evil and foes. Including if that opponent was Jack Atlas.

In the middle, was Yami and Jaden. Neither one had a dog in the fight, but both wanted to see a great duel. They both had to listen Jack tell them all about his past and future glory, as Yusei and his friends built the deck. They were both starting to realize how Crow got so annoyed with Jack. If he ever got to the top, they both knew his head would be the size of another planet and they hoped Yusei achieved his goal by then.

As Yusei drew his next card, his face lite up. Jack suddenly became nervous as Yusei started his move. First, he played a trap. Then, he got to summon one monster to the field. Then, Yusei used it's special ability to get another one from his graveyard. Leo, Luna, Akiza, and Dexter all knew where this was going. "I summon Stardust Dragon!" Yusei shouted and his dragon roared to life.

Yami and Jaden smiled, as it was the first time since their duel that they got to see it in action. As Yusei was forced to finish his move, he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to bring another powerful monster to the game and not rely just on his old bag of moves. As Jack tired to attack with Red Dragon Archfiend, Yusei called a trap that not only stopped the attack, but let Stardust attack him directly. Jack played a trap as well, letting the damage be cut in half. Still, Yusei smiled at the winning move of his.

Once Jack made a final card being put face down, Yusei drew his card. He then growled as it wasn't the card he wanted. He looked out on the field and knew he had to make a move, even if there would be consequences later. He played a trap, taking all of Jack's monsters out of play. With that in mind, Yusei had a wide open attack to Jack's life points. Yusei then put his duel disk and cards by his hips.

"I end my turn," he replied.

Leo's eyes were huge. "What is he doing? He could have brought Jack down to only 250 life points left! Why didn't he attack?" Jack wondered the exact same thing. "What are you doing Yusei! Don't be a wimp!" Yusei smiled. "I'm not," he replied, "You do have a card facedown." Jack rolled his eyes. "So what? You took all of my monsters off of my field, so you could do what? Nothing? How stupid are you? I know you're not even close to being a so called 'genius', even though some morons think you are. However, I know you're not dumb enough to not attack when my field is wide open."

Yusei shrugged. "I end my turn, now make your move." Jack growled and knew Yusei was up to something. He decided to play cautiously. He put a monster in defense mode and ended his turn. When Yusei got to draw, his face lit up. 'It's Akiza's new card!' he thought. He saw the card and knew what he would do. First, he got a smaller monster out. "I then play this card!" he shouted and Akiza smiled as she saw the new card she had bought. It let Yusei bring out another smaller monster. Combined, it was enough for a great move and Yusei was excited. He couldn't wait to say the words that would be coming out of mouth.

"Akiza once got to summon my monster onto the same field as her Black Rose Dragon. Now, I get to to the same, with her best monster onto the same field as mine! I summon Black Rose Dragon!" Everyone smiled as big as Yusei, but Jack only smiled in evil. "Yeah, but I play my trap! This card lets me get rid of the card you just summoned." Yusei smiled.

"However, I play my trap, which means I can bring that monster right back." Jack was shocked. "What?" he asked and Yusei smiled. "Now, I use one the monsters', that I used to summon Black Rose Dragon, special ability. It makes your monster in defense mode switch to attack mode." Jack's monster had much less defense points than attack, as he had his usual "power" deck. It was now time for Yusei to do what he always wanted to do when he made this deck. He looked at the twins and Dexter, but his main eyes were on Akiza's. They both nodded as if they both knew what was to come.

"Now Black Rose Dragon and Stardust Dragon! Attack Jack and destroy both his monster and the rest of his life points!" Black Rose Dragon and Stardust Dragon combined their attack into a giant ball of light. Jack closed his eyes as it flew towards him and covered him up. Yami and Jaden both smiled and stood, as well as everyone else. Jack's life points hit zero and everyone cheered.

Everyone went over to Yusei, except Jack as he laid in the dirt in disgust. Yusei and Akiza kept their eyes locked to one another as she approached. "Akiza," Yusei said as he stuck out his hand. "Yusei," Akiza said as he put her hand with her's. Akiza then added her hand and Yusei added his. However, both knew what they really wanted. They quickly let go and wrapped one another in a hug.

"Great duel Yusei. You were amazing!" Akiza complimented him. "Yeah, but your help and deck is what pushed me through it all." Leo frowned. "Hey! We helped too! You know?" Yusei smiled as he let go of Akiza and ruffled Leo's hair. "I know you did," he replied, "All of your help was worth it." Luna and Dexter both smiled as Jack finally came over.

"Well...you won Yusei. Congratulations." Yusei and him shook hands on great duel. "Well Yami, do you think you'll have two decks combined into your new pro league deck?" Yami shrugged. "Actually, I want it to only focus on Dexter's type of monsters." Jack frowned. "What? But this whole duel was to prove which deck was better!" he shouted. Yami nodded.

"I know, but didn't you say to me once Yusei that Luna had some plant monsters in her deck? So it can be like Akiza's?" Yusei looked at Luna, who blushed. "Well yeah. Akiza was such a good role model for me, so I modeled my new deck after her's." Akiza smiled. "And what about Leo?" Akiza asked knowing the answer. Leo became kind of shy. "Well...I did put some cards that were modeled after Yusei's deck into my old one. So, I made and modeled my new deck after Yusei's." Yusei smiled.

"So," Yami replied, "Leo made his after Yusei's. Luna's after Akiza's. My new deck will be like Dexter's, so that means." Everyone looked over at Jaden. "So Jaden," Crow said as he leaned on his right shoulder, "Who's it gonna be that you're modeling after? Me or Jack?" Jack turned to him. "That's easy! It's gonna be me!" he shouted. As Jack and Crow bickered, Yusei had something really important to Akiza.

"Akiza, since those guys are speaking of decks for the pro league, I want you to know something." Akiza was intrigued. "I would use this very deck if I had decided to go pro. It may have some disadvantages, but once I got one card, the floodgate of possibilities opened. Not to mention..." He took her hand. "It was great to see cards in your deck with mine. We're a pretty amazing team." Akiza nodded.

"But we'll always be number one? Right?" Yusei nodded and the two of them smiled as their other friends, Leo, Luna, Dexter, Yami, and Jaden looked on. Jack and Crow started to roll around in the dirt, as the sun behind them set.

A/N: I hope people are not disappointed with the duel. I'm not good with the card names, so that's why I didn't name any of them (outside of the main monsters). If you are upset, I hope you'll forgive me!

I'm really happy that so many people are reading this story! You guys and gals are awesome!
