Gold and Silver

As a special Halloween trick-or-treat, after freaking you all out with the thought that this story's been discontinued, I now bring to you the labors of both five entire episodes (a double update!), a deck list for you to investigate my reasoning, AND the oneshot of Silver Pyre of a Gold Phoenix. I'll warn you that the oneshot contains some spoilers, but if you don't mind, feel free to read it too!

Also, don't forget to read the companion story, Black and Red!

Nothing was stolen from a fanfiction since there was only transcribing from the actual episode.

This is the translation of the Japanese titles for Episodes 13, 14, and 15. The English-dub instead uses "Monkey See, Monkey Duel", "A Spirit Summoned", and "Courting Alexis". I, however, dub this chapter "Past Regret".

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX otherwise Zane would have actually showed up in these episodes.

Chapter 13/14/15: Wild Release! SAL Duel; VS Psycho Shocker!; and Tennis Duel of Youth, or "Past Regret"

Kieran heard the screams from somewhere in the forest, looking up from his work on a section of his skeleton. Putting down his tweazers, he shakily limped through the mess of wires and tight spaces to the door, where he had some crutches leaning against the wall. He yanked them under his arms, seeing Magician's Valkyria appear in front of him. "Take me to the duel!" he commanded, watching as the girl nodded and began moving quickly. She would wait patiently for him to make his way to her before she moved again, his crutches hindering him as he limped through the forest but doing a deal to help him transverse the campus with his lessened energy levels that left him too tired to do much of anything other than schoolwork or his computer work when he wasn't lying on the bed cuddling with Zane.

She paused at a tree, conjuring her parchment and pen again. This is as far as I can take you; I don't want to be spotted quite yet, she informed him. However, the duel should be taking place just over that ridge.

"Thanks Valkyria," he murmured, receiving her answering nod as he carefully navigated his way towards the other onlookers. "So," he asked, giving a crooked smile as he fell in beside Alexis and Syrus, "what did I miss?"

"Jaden's dueling a monkey for Jasmine's freedom!" the ravenette girl answered, batting her eyes.

Alexis was quick to shut down her thoughts. "Don't go there, Mindy, Kieran here bats for Zane's team."

"It's good to see you again," Syrus murmured with a smile, restraining his urge to hug his friend since he could see the Ra's body was sagging on the crutches. "I still have your jacket and your data cards to return. Zane said that he would take 'em, but I wanted to make sure you got 'em personally."

"Thanks Sy," the blond answered, settling in to watch the show. "I'll be sure to grab them at some point over the next few days."

"I'm gonna play-" Jaden began but paused at the sight of all the monkeys gathering around them to watch the duel. Everyone let out little cries of alarm—Kieran remained silent, if only because he'd seen the primates stirring on his way out here even if they kept away from him due to something they could sense about him and Magician's Valkyria—as Jaden cried, "That's why you're trying to escape, isn't it? To get back to your family." The primate answered affirmatively, causing Kieran's brow to furrow as he started tuning out the others to instead study the mechanics of the devices strapped to the monkey. He wanted to know how they could make the animal talk, dammit!

It moves with him! he marveled, watching the monkey move as he handed back the girl he'd kidnapped. I have to learn their secrets! "How the hell did you guys do that?" he asked the three scientists nearby. "It's ingenious work!"

"Really?" the shorter man asked, pleased at the flattery.

Kieran nodded. "It's magnificent! I've been trying to make something like that for typing but all I can do is this!" he answered, tossing his head to reveal the golden screen of his silver eyepiece.

The man nodded. "Impressive work yourself," he complimented, then turned to his own experiment. "All right, you flea-ridden failure, let's go."

"Hold it!" Jaden said, standing before the test animal and spreading his arms. "He doesn't belong with you, he belongs out here in nature! He belongs with his family, so that's where we're gonna leave him, got it?"

As his friends backed him up, Kieran remained silent. "Ren…" Syrus muttered, elbowing the blond.

He shook his head. "Sorry Sy, but I can't do anything. It doesn't matter if what they're doing to him is against his wishes or not, so long as they've got all their paperwork in order, there's nothing we can do."

He looked up in time to see Pharaoh run up out of nowhere, jump on a guy's face, and get picked up by Professor Banner, who also picked up the gun. "I've come with word from Seto Kaiba that your illegal work is to be terminated immediately," he informed them, then gave a sly wink to Kieran. "Of course, he also suggested that the technology be given to someone who will utilize it properly, and I can see no better alternative than this young Ra student right here."

Kieran nodded. "Thank you Professor," he murmured, limping over to the monkey. "I'll get to it right away."

The blond swayed as he finished dissecting the work, his eyepiece documenting everything. Sighing as he pulled up the blueprints once more, he began trying to put it back together, only for a firm hand on his shoulder to cause him to turn his head to gaze into pale blue orbs. "Ren," he heard a gentle voice say, "there you are."

Emerald eyes brightened as he planted a soft kiss on his boyfriend's lips. "You used the GPS thing in my PDA, didn't you?" he asked.

"Of course," the Obelisk replied. He then raised his voice to include the two Slifers. "Jaden, Syrus, if you could take this equipment back to my dorm room, I'd be extremely grateful. I'd do it myself, except that I've got my arms full with this." He bounced Kieran, who he'd scooped up into his arms, to show his point, the crutches clutched tightly in the blond's grip.

"Sure thing!" the younger Truesdale answered. "We'll even bring the other stuff over too, right Jay?"

"Of course!"

"Thanks guys!" Kieran called as Zane started off.

As soon as they were out of earshot of the others, he turned on his boyfriend. "Ren, what were you doing so far out in the forest? You had me worried."

Kieran bit his lip. He couldn't exactly inform the Obelisk about his duel spirit since the Cyber duelist wasn't likely to believe him, which left him with few options. "I wanted to watch Jaden's duel."

Zane gently set Kieran down on the bed in the Abandoned Dorm, the younger pouting with his arms crossed over his chest. "Ren," he murmured softly, reaching out to run his thumb over the blond's lips only for the spitfire to turn his head, closing his emerald eyes childishly, "you're exhausted. You shouldn't be working."

"I'm not tired!" the Ra protested stubbornly, glaring holes in the wall. "I would've been fine to take a look at that tech tonight!"

"Ren, you're barely able to support your weight on your own," he pointed out firmly, though his pale blue eyes were firm. "You're staying in this bed tonight whether your like it or not." The blond's mouth turn down in a frown, but what annoyed the bluenet was his refusal to meet his gaze still. He sighed heavily. "If it makes you feel any better, Kieran, I won't be leaving your side either."

In a sudden feat of speed, Kieran snatched something from where it was hidden between the mattress and the bed frame, latching it shut around Zane's neck. Startled, the Obelisk looked down to see that it was the black leather collar from before that now nestled snugly in his jugular. He couldn't contain a smirk; it had been rather sexy how the blond had captured him. "Well, if that's how you want to play…" he growled, pinning the other to the bed and nipping at his lips affectionately before he kissed his boyfriend passionately, his hands roaming over the beautiful skin of his beau.

Kieran shuddered as Zane's hands snuck around to his ass, pulling away from the kiss to pant harshly as his boyfriend suckled at his neck. "No, Zane," he scolded breathlessly, his head tipped back. "I'm not ready to give myself to you yet."

The Cyber duelist forced back a stirring of disappointment. "That's all right," he murmured, unbuttoning their jackets. "We just won't go all the way tonight." Even though he could still give himself, he didn't think Kieran was really strong enough to expend so much effort. With some help from the Magician duelist, he stripped them both, lovingly pressing kisses down the blond's body. "Just follow my lead," he instructed softly before he took in all Kieran could offer.

The blond let out a moan at the feel of Zane's mouth engulfing his erection, his boyfriend's tongue immediately setting to lapping along the heated flesh, but with a pointed concentration of will, he timidly put his own mouth to Zane's cock, his movements far less sure than his boyfriend's but no less maddening to the Obelisk. Their moans vibrating around a sensitive part of each others' anatomies, they spiraled higher and higher on their cloud until they both came with a yell.

"That was wonderful, Ren," Zane praised, using the last of his strength to relocate himself up into the pillows to cuddle with his boyfriend.

The blond let out a soft hum. "You were pretty good yourself," he murmured sleepily, pillowing his head on the other's chest and quickly falling asleep, Zane not far behind him.

Finally making her presence known, Magician's Valkyria let out a muted giggle from behind her hands, her cheeks a bright crimson. "Looks like everything went according to plan, didn't it Cyber?" she asked. The mechanical dragon let out a whir of agreement, its body wrapped around the hourglass figure of the girl. She leaned down, retrieving her staff where it rested underneath the bed, and then both duel spirits disappeared, leaving their wielders to their business.

~Time lapse~

Zane had to admit, Christmas with Kieran was far different from that with Atticus. Kieran had dug out the old tree in a closet of the dorm and set it up in the foyer, but his decorations were mainly a mix of what few ornaments he could salvage from the box and a bunch of old computer parts he'd carefully altered slightly to look more in spirit. He played rock version of Christmas songs, and sure he would spend time with the Obelisk both at the Abandoned Dorm and the Obelisk dorm (Kieran didn't spend a lot of time at the Ra dorm since he considered the Abandoned one more of his actual dorm location than the room he'd been assigned in the official Yellow building, so thus it came as no surprise that the suggestion of spending time in the Ra dorm wasn't even remotely considered), but Zane could tell that his heart wasn't really into it. When he'd vocalized as such to the blond, he'd merely shrugged and said, "Why should I encourage a holiday that endorses letting a fat man break into your house, eat your food, leave you suspicious presents that could very well be a bomb or poisoned, and stalk your every move in a very pedophilic way to determine whether you've been 'bad or good' as he watches you sleep?" Atticus's idea of Christmas had been very different…

Zane looked up from his book to see Atticus running from his disgruntled, visiting little sister, breathlessly singing a carol as he danced around the tree he'd decorated extremely flamboyantly and hid behind Zane's shoulder. The teal-haired duelist sighed as he returned to his novel, a sci-fi page-turner Kieran had lent him the last time he'd been at home; in fact, he would have been there right now had the blond not been traveling to Greece with his parents. "What did you do this time?" he asked, vaguely curious. Sure, he got the impression Alexis was usually mad at the brunet for one reason or another, but personally, he wanted to know for what reason he'd likely die for unintentionally protecting the perky Obelisk—of course, no one really knew that he would've done it whether Atticus had sought him out or not.

"I used a stick to hang mistletoe right over her head while she was talking to that boy on the tennis team, y'know, the one that has the crush on her."

"Hmmm," Zane hummed in response, turning a page. Suddenly, Atticus froze beside him, yanking on his sleeve until he had the Cyber duelist's attention and then pointed up. Alexis was triumphantly holding a sprig of mistletoe over their heads, smirking as she glared pointedly at her brother.

Atticus wouldn't be bested in this challenge. Catching Zane's chin, he turned the other Obelisk's face towards his own and swooped in, kissing the other boy on the lips for a prolonged moment before he pulled away, the both of them blushing fiercely. "Sorry," he whispered, getting to his feet and walking away, leaving Zane to hold a hand to his lips in confusion, unable to believe the last minute actually happened.

"Look," Zane murmured, gesturing at the doorway they stood in at the side entrance to the Obelisk dorm, "mistletoe."

Kieran scowled, ripping the sprig from the wood and limping off with his crutches. He came here for some files he'd left in Zane's room, not for frivolous ventures such as mistletoe.

Magician's Valkyria shook her head, striding over so that her wielder could see her out of his peripheral. She scrawled a quick note for him and then showed it to him. The barrier between the Spirit Realm and this one is especially thin right now, and as such, I need a favor. An old friend of mine asked that I deal with two troublesome spirits, but I cannot defeat them alone, so if you and Zane could allow yourselves to become targets instead, I am certain you could handle them.

The blond sighed. "Fine," he hissed under his breath, careful not to let Zane hear. "But if he gets hurt, I'll never forgive you."

I wouldn't expect you to.

Valkyria knew that this was a very delicate stage in the plan. Zane couldn't remember how he got to the duel or how he left, that way he would think it all a dream, but her magic was limited. He wasn't her wielder, so it would be a harsh drain on her to teleport him. In fact, she wouldn't have been able to do it at all if Kieran hadn't slipped her card into his deck when he wasn't looking. She appeared in their room, her blue eyes meeting Kieran's emerald as he nodded, extracting himself from Zane's embrace and pulling on his clothes. She had wanted him to use his other deck, the Spellcasters one, and so he would, but his condition was that he refused to duel in a location where there were innocent bystanders around. "Good luck," he murmured to her, snapping the collar of his goldenrod jacket.

She nodded, placing a transparent hand on the bluenet's forehead and waving her staff. The duel spirit nodded, content with the surroundings, and took brief possession of Zane's body, activating his duel disk and standing him up in time for his opponent to come galloping in, horse rearing and plunging as his own hand appeared behind him. Zane's opponent would be Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight.

The horse pawed at the ground as Zane came to himself, his pale blue eyes unrecognizing his surroundings as he whirled around looking for the boyfriend he knew wouldn't be there before he turned to what he was doing. The duel monster didn't like being ignored, so he began his turn. "Draw! I summon Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke and place three cards facedown. Turn end."

Realizing he was in a duel, Zane drew, glancing quickly over his cards before making his move. "I summon Cyber Dragon to the field using his special ability, and then since that doesn't count as my summon for the turn, I'll also summon out Proto-Cyber Dragon, whose special ability activates to turn his name into that of Cyber Dragon while he's on the field, a useful thing when I have this!" He turned around the card he'd pulled from his hand, Polymerization. "Come forth, Cyber Twin Dragon! Unleash your fury on this opponent! Double Strident Blast!"

"Hold!" the knight cried as the mechanical creature warmed up, a card flipping up. "I activate my trap card Spirit Barrier! As long as I have a monster to defend me, I take no battle damage!"

"No matter," the bluenet replied confidently. "Cyber Twin Dragon will still drop your Life Points with his second attack." And indeed, the knight's Life Points fell to 1200, the Obelisk's opponent clearly having nothing to soften the blow.

The knight drew. "I will add two more facedown cards to that number before I activate my own special ability!" He disappeared, appearing back on the field in a solid form as the horse pawed and snorted. "You aren't the only one who can summon a high-level monster under the right conditions," he stated, jerking his head. "Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight can take the field without tribute provided I have no cards in my hand. However, I see no point in attacking at the current moment, so turn end!"

Zane drew. I can't use this card yet, I still need the trigger… "I play one card facedown. Now, Cyber Twin Dragon, end this!"

The knight tsked. "This duel is far from over yet. I activate my trap, Sakuretsu Armor, which destroys your monster."

The dragon let out a screech as it burst into shards, though Zane could spare it no sympathy. The knight had been throwing cards facedown in order to summon himself, so he had thought the odds enough in his favor to attack. He glanced at his cards, then at the field. I could summon that this turn… but it'd be better when I can trick him into attacking it and ending the duel… "I'll use my Monster Reborn to bring back my Cyber Dragon and end my turn."

The knight drew. "I summon Little-Winguard in attack mode. Now, I will slay your little drakeling, which leaves you wide open for a direct attack!" The dragon let out a cry as it too fell back to the Graveyard, its destruction and Winguard's attack dropping Zane's Life Points to 2400. "Turn end."

Zane glanced down at his drawn card. Perfect. "I activate the card Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Spirit Barrier before I play Time Fusion. In case you're unfamiliar with this card, it allows me to summon one Fusion monster from my Graveyard at the expense of sending a card from my hand to my Graveyard and the opportunity to attack you this turn." He shrugged as he let Cyber Laser Dragon, the card he'd been holding out for before, slip from between his fingers and into the Graveyard. "No matter since I will be able to end this next turn."

"But that's what you're wrong," Gaia contradicted as a new card appeared behind him. "I summon Command Knight to the field, whose special ability gives all Warrior-type monsters an extra 500 attack points, just enough for me to be able to beat that hunk of metal myself." His horse reared, galloping towards the monster as his lance came down.

And, as Ren would say, that's your downfall. "I use the Quick-Play spell Limiter Removal to double my Cyber Twin Dragon's attack. Cyber Twin Dragon, end this!" The monster roared its agreement, destroying the monster in a flash of light as Magician's Valkyria stepped forward from where she'd been watching the entire duel.

Good job, Zane, she thought, a wave of her wand sending back unconscious as she darted forward to catch him before he could hit the ground. Everything went well because of your help. She waved her wand, causing them both to disappear from the room deep inside the Abandoned room and instead return to the bed and Kieran. The spirit duels were over, especially since Jinzo had left this world as well, though she highly doubted they'd be gone for long…

It's going to be strange dueling without Valkyria by my side, Kieran thought as he clambered up to the top of the volcano. Still, I'm glad she's at Zane's side, not mine. After all, he's not exactly aware of the spirits like I am… He shook his head, firming himself in time to see his opponent, Gilford the Lightning.

"Are you to be my opponent?" the Warrior-type monster asked, his form a little flickery but still discernable. At Kieran's nod, his cards fanned out behind him as the blond drew his hand. "For my first move, I'll summon out Marauding Captain, and I use his special effect to summon out another Marauding Captain to prevent any attacks against them! Now, I'll place one card facedown. Turn end!"

Kieran drew and made a face. A good hand, but nothing worth starting with… especially since I'd be damned if he wasn't trying to summon himself. "I'll summon out Magician's Valkyria in defense mode and call it a turn," he said, letting the girl appear in a flurry of sparks, nothing near as elaborate as he was used to.

Gilford made a face. Nothing he had at the moment could beat the card… "I'll summon out Command Knight, turn end!"

Kieran drew and glanced down at the card. He had a feeling this duel was going to be all about how many cards he had in his hand, so he had to play carefully. "I summon out Magician's Valkyria!" he cried, letting the girl take the field too. "In addition, I'll switch my other Valkyria to attack mode as well before I activate Magical Blast! You see, this card makes you take 200 points of damage for every Spellcaster-type monster I have on the field, in this case both my Valkyrias!" In his little eyepiece, his opponent's Life Points dropped to 3600, a minor triumph but one that allowed him to retrieve the card almost upon his command.

"I summon myself with all three of the monsters on my field!" the warrior cried, appearing on the field in a corporeal form. "Of course, in doing so, I activate my special effect, which destroys your two Magician's Valkyrias and leaves you wide open to my attack!" He leapt forward, slashing at the Ra's face and dropping the poor boy's Life Points to a mere 800. "Now, I'll place one card facedown. Turn end!"

Kieran bit his lip. "I activate the secondary ability of my Magical Blast, which allows me to recover it from my Graveyard instead of a normal Draw." He pulled the card from the slot, adding it to his hand. He'd be lucky to last through, though it would take every one of his remaining cards. "I summon The Illusory Gentleman, but I'll use the magic card Magical Dimension. You see, by tributing one Spellcaster-Type monster on my field, I can special summon another from my hand, in this case Dark Magician of Chaos, but that's not all. I can also destroy one of your monsters now!" Both of the magicians nodded to each other, waving their arms at Gilfried in order to destroy him. "Now, as if that wasn't enough, I also chain Dark Magician of Chaos's own special ability, which allows me to recover one spell card from my Graveyard when he's summoned to the field. So I get back my Magical Dimension too, but before I send him to attack, I'll equip him with Book of Secret Arts to raise his attack to 3100!" The spellcaster flipped through a book quickly, learning from it. "Now, attack him directly, my Magician!" The monster in question looked up at the transparent monster, casting the damage with a wave of his hand to drop the spirit's Life Points to a mere 500. "I'll end the turn by placing a card facedown."

"Perfect!" the monster cried. "I'll activate my own facedwon, Call of the Haunted, to bring myself back from the Graveyard. Now I'll summon Command Knight in order to increase my attack enough to destroy your Dark Magician of Chaos!"

"Not so fast!" Kieran cried. "I activate the trap Curse of Aging! For every card I discard from my hand, your monster loses 500 attack, and what do you know, I have two to throw away and win the duel!" He slipped the two magic cards he'd recovered into his Graveyard, turning his back on the duel he'd just triumphed on. Sure, dueling against a spirit had been interesting, but personally, he'd just be glad to be curled up in bed with Zane again. Hiking his crutches a tad higher under his arms, he started back down the volcano's slope, once again cursing Nightshroud for weakening him in this way. He didn't want to have to depend on anyone other than himself to get by.

~Time skip~

Kieran pulled the conventional backpack he'd borrowed from Zane onto his shoulders, having recovered enough of his strength to go to school. Besides, if he remained truant, it would have only brought attention onto Zane since the administration would have thought that something the Obelisk was doing was keeping the young boy from his studies rather than what Mana and Mahado claimed was a natural response to an unfinished Shadow duel. Still, it was an effort to get around on his crutches, but he couldn't really get around in a prompt fashion otherwise and even then his greatest enemy was the stairs he couldn't navigate without his boyfriend's patient assistance. Of course, there was one benefit to his condition, and that was being given the chance to shamelessly ogle his lover's body as he did the physical exertion of gym class that Kieran had been banned from. In fact, Kieran even got to sit up in the referee chair, which gave him the perfect vantage point to do such a thing and put him out of reach of the majority of rogue tennis balls.

He sighed as class ended, jumping down off the chair into Zane's arms and proving himself unable to contain light laughter as his boyfriend nuzzled the crook of his neck. "Zay-zay!" he yelled, turning his head in time for his uncovered emerald eye to be concealed by dark blue hair, his cheeks dusted by a generous helping of crimson, "not where everyone can see us!"

"Why not?" he asked, lavishing the corner of the smaller boy's jaw with affectionate kisses. "Ashamed of our relationship?"

"No!" he protested strongly, needing to convince the larger boy of his commitment to what they had, or was it to himself? "I just thought you'd rather keep your personal life separate from your dueling reputation."

A sharp tug on the sleeve of his uniform had him opening his eyes to the view of melting chocolate eyes. "Atticus?" he murmured sleepily, pushing his head up off the textbook he'd been using as a pillow and mildly grateful for the light that had remained on the entire he'd been asleep even if it meant he'd accidentally fallen prey to the Sandman during his late-night studying, "what're you doing here?"

The perky brunet bit his lip, his arms wrapped around his torso. "I got lonely," he admitted softly, blushing lightly. "Yusuke's never around anymore and he doesn't like it when I stay with him even though he knows I get… jumpy when it's like this."

"Huh?" the bluenet said confusedly before a bright flash of light came from the window along with the deafening crash of thunder that had the surfer burrowing into his arms. He'd forgotten how Atticus was terrified of thunder and hated to be alone during storms like this one, which if his memory served was actually a hurricane. He sighed, wrapping his arms around the other boy and carrying him awkwardly to his bed, laying Atticus down and covering him before turning.

A hand around his wrist and a soft plea of "Zaney?" had him turning back around to look at the childish teen hiding in his blankets.

"It's all right, Atty," he murmured, reaching around with his free hand to stroke his friend's hair. "I'm just going to turn off the light and then I'll be right there beside you, promise."

The brunet considered it for a long moment before relinquishing the his prize. "Okay," he whispered, carefully tracking Zane's movements until the Truesdale was sitting on the bed, letting him rest his head in the other's lap. "Zaney?" he asked, his voice tentative, "will you cuddle with me?"

The bluenet was surprised by the question but nonetheless crawled down into the blankets, wrapping his arms around the brunet and pulling him close to his chest. "Like this?" he asked, receiving a nod for his trouble and a snuggling surfer as his prize.

"Yusuke doesn't let me cuddle him," he confessed in a vulnerable voice, words muffled slightly by Zane's shoulder but still perfectly understandable to the Cyber duelist, "he says it'll foster the need to do it in public, which'll make us both look weak."

"It's the small things that make all the difference," Zane murmured thoughtfully, resting his chin on Kieran's head after he set the blond on his own two feet, "and I want to be able to do all of them without giving a damn about what anyone else says about it."

"You!" a short-haired boy cried, Kieran turning his head from where he was navigating through the hallways, his crutches splayed to either side as he paused by a door, his destination, the nearest stairs, where he would wait for his boyfriend to carry him down them, having been put on hold by the word. "You're Kieran Salem right?"

"Yes," he confirmed, gesturing with his head for the boy to walk beside him. "If you don't mind, who's asking?"

"Harrington Rosewood."

The blond Ra nodded. "I've heard of you," he admitted, his emerald eyes sly as he recollected the duels he recorded on the male with the obsession with tennis. "The talk of the school says you're as good as Zane."

"You've dueled the King of the Obelisk Dorm," the tennis captain stated. "Tell me, do you think I could defeat him?"

He reached into his pocket to pull out his deck for inspection, but Kieran shook his head. "Don't bother, I've watched you duel enough times to know your cards."

"Of course," Harrington said, his hand dropping to his side. "I forgot for a moment that you were the boy with the strange scanner who handed Zane that stunning defeat four years ago. You have a Spellcasters deck if I'm not mistaken."

Kieran chuckled dryly. "I did," he replied. "I use a Dark Magic one now." Remembering the original question, he sobered. "You couldn't do it."

"Pardon?" the sports star asked, his brow furrowed, obviously not used to being denied what he wanted.

"Zane would tear you to pieces," the Ra clarified. "You aren't a match for him."

"You're just saying that because he's your boyfriend!" Harrington yelled, black eyes glinting darkly when Kieran turned to look at him, an amused smile playing at the edges of the Magician duelist's mouth even if he thought it fear or embarrassment. "Yeah, that's right, I saw you two getting all lovey-dovey on the court after the class was over, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

"You're right about the last part," the blond responded. "Zane may be mine, but the thing is, my boyfriend or not, he'd still kick your ass just like Jaden Yuki did."

Zane: ... Why am I still without my Atty?

Atty: ... Because Die's a heartless bitch.

Zane: Atty! *cuddles to his chest happily*

... Review!
