~Chapter Forty-Eight~

Normal P.O.V

Shaina sits quietly in her bedroom, looking at her deck.

I seriously don't know what to do in this duel. Should I just win or lose? It doesn't matter which one of us will win. It won't affect the finals.

Shaina sighs looking over to the Guardian Cards, separated from her deck.

Sometimes, I wonder if I truly deserve to gain the title of beating Kaiba and going into the Finals. Shana and I aren't supposed to be here anyway! Besides, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my Guardian Cards. I don't think I'll be a great duelist without them.

She cocks her head and stretches.

Am I a good duelist or not? I can't answer that question…but maybe I can by dueling my sister.

Shaina gets up, and puts the Guardian Cards in a box. She promptly locks it, and puts it away

If I'm truly strong, I will win with my own deck alone. I won't use any powerful cards for my aid. And maybe not dueling with them will be a benefit…

As for Shana, she's sitting in her bedroom as well.

What should I do in this duel? I don't know whether I want to win…maybe it'll be best if I lose. Maybe I should lose. It's best for Shaina to move on to the finals.

At that moment, Serenity, Miho, and Tea enter the room.

"Hey Shana, we just came here to wish you luck on the finals with your sister. Miho's sure it'll be very exciting between the two of you!" Miho says cheerfully.

Shana smiles blandly. "Oh hey guys. Thanks, but I think I'm going to let Shaian win."

"Why?" Tea asks inquisitively.

Shana shrugs. "I don't know. She'll be much more of a help then me if she moves on in the finals."

"Don't do that Shana! You're just as strong to continue on the finals as your sister is!" Tea says fiercely.

"Yeah, Tea's right Shana. I still remembered how you dueled against Noah. It was awesome!" Serenity says.

"And besides, Shaina wouldn't want to beat you so easily. I bet she would want a fight, a real fight from you." Miho encourages. Shana smiles at the support from her friends.

"Maybe you're right."

The next morning, Shaina and Shana are on top of the building, getting ready to duel.

"I'm not gonna be easy on you! You got that sis?" Shaina says, smiling, but with a competitive glint in her eyes.

Shana smiles back, the same competitiveness shining in her eyes. "Me neither! Expect there to be a challenge!"

The sisters both activate their duel disks.

"Let's duel!" they shout.
