Hey y'all! I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Did you guys miss me!? I hope so! This is my first story back from the little break I took, and it's a Yu-Gi-Oh story! I grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh and I just love the concept of it and the characters and everything! This story will contain a ship I personally have never seen before in any Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction, so I don't know if I just came up with it or if it's just THAT rare! Hope you guys enjoy! Also, I'm going to try and make this ship a slow burn~ MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Warnings: Swearing, some violence, yaoi, slight oocness for DM later on.

Kaiba, wanna do the honors?

Kaiba: *sighs* fine, but only to get you off my back... Jeff's Icy Dragon of Minecraft does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of it's characters. The plot itself however is entirely hers.

Thanks Kaiba-kun! Now let's begin!

"Man, I still can't believe ol' moneybags managed to do this!" said a blonde wearing a green jacket, white T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. He looked over as his shorter friend with his amber eyes. "Believe it Joey! Kaiba really outdid himself this time!" said the shorter male, coming up to the blonde's shoulders only because of his wild tri-colored hair, wearing a blue jacket with matching pants, black shoes, a black tanktop, a belt-like choker on his neck and matching wristbands. "But seriously Yug! Kaiba managed to make it to where Duel Monsters could walk alongside us! How cool is that!?" the blonde asked, grinning.

They were referring to the newest creation by their old classmate and rival/friend Seto Kaiba, who had invented a special type of wristband that allowed Duel Monsters to materialize and walk alongside their masters. It worked by placing the card of the monster into the wristband's slot and the wristband would do the rest by materializing the monster. Joey and Yugi were currently walking around the mall with two of their own monsters, Baby Dragon and Dark Magician respectively.

"Look at all the Duel Monsters walking around!" said Yugi, looking at all of the other duelists who had bought the wristbands. "Like I said, I can't believe Kaiba managed to do this!" said Joey, laughing. "You enjoyin' yourself little guy?" he asked his Baby Dragon, grinning when it screed back at him happily. Yugi smiled and looked at his most faithful monster. "What about you?" he asked, looking up at the amethyst-clad mage. "I am doing well Master... It is good to not be cooped up in our cards..." the mage replied respectfully, a small smile gracing his features.

Yugi nodded as they continued walking. That was one of many reasons why the Dark Magician was his favorite card. Not only was the mage quite powerful, but with Seto Kaiba's newest technology duelists could learn their monsters' personalities. Yugi knew his faithful magician was stern, but he also knew the older male had a kind heart and was very respectful. Of course, it helped that Yugi had witnessed these traits back when he and his friends had gone into Atem's memories to help the former Pharaoh and had seen the mage back when he was a mortal sorcerer known as Mahad.

The shorter male smiled at the memories, keeping them fondly in his mind even though the former Pharaoh was no longer around. "There he is! It's Yugi Muto and his Dark Magician!" someone screamed, snapping Yugi out of his thoughts. "Better run pal, the fangirls have spotted ya!" said Joey, him and Baby Dragon quickly grabbing their friends and running as several girls ran over, chasing the group of four. Yugi sighed as they managed to lose the fangirls after a while.

"Dammit DM! Why you gotta be a chick magnet!?" asked Joey after catching his breath, glaring at the 6 foot tall mage in front of him, who smiled sheepishly. "forgive me Joseph..." he said, laughing nervously. Yugi couldn't help but smile. Sure, one downfall of having Dark Magician out and about was the fact that fangirls constantly tried to swarm them, but honestly Yugi couldn't blame them. While he himself was straight even HE had to admit that the spellcaster was quite handsome, the mage's ice blue eyes contrasting against his tanned skin and lavender hair. It also didn't help that Yugi himself was the top-ranked duelist in the world, so the amethyst eyed teen was also partially to blame for the swarms that often occurred.

Yugi straightened up. "Now that the swarm is gone, let's go meet Tristan and Téa at the arcade!" he said, grinning. "Aw yeah, now we're talkin'!" said Joey, following his friend with their duel monsters close behind. "Hey, looks who finally showed up!" said Tristan as the four of them approached. "Watch it Tristan! We had to deal with another fangirl attack!" said Joey, glaring at his friend. Téa rolled her eyes. "Alright you two, enough of that... let's get inside and play some games!" she said, smiling. "Alright, race ya to the air hockey table!" said Joey, him and Baby Dragon rushing into the arcade with Tristan close behind.

Yugi laughed. "I don't know about you Téa, but I myself am more in the mood for DDR..." he said, grinning. "You're on!" Téa replied the two rushing in as well. Dark Magician chuckled and casually walked in after them. He honestly found himself lucky to have such a kind master and such wonderful friends, even if their antics were childish at times. He was so busy in his thoughts he wasn't paying attention and ended up bumping into someone. "Oh, forgive me-" he paused when he found himself locking eyes with a pair of sapphire blue ones.

"Watch where you're going mage... my company's technology may allow to walk among us, but don't forget that you are still simply a monster on a card..." said the male in front of Dark Magician, crossing his arms as he glared at the ever-so-slightly shorter male*. Dark Magician returned the glare to the brunette before him, though it was not as cold. "I must say Seto Kaiba, you are honestly so much colder than Set... why do you not like those who have shown you nothing but kindness?" the mage asked.

Kaiba scoffed. "I don't need 'kindness'... all I care about is my company and my little brother..." he replied, looking over as Yugi and them approached, Joey instantly reacting to the sight of the brunette. "This guy botherin' ya DM?" he asked, shooting a death glare at the CEO. "Not at all Joseph... if anything it was my fault, as I had not been paying attention and had bumped into him by mistake..." the spellcaster replied, his eyes never leaving Kaiba even as he bowed slightly. "Please, forgive my absentmindedness..." Kaiba scoffed again, though it was quieter than the first one. "Just don't let it happen again..." he said, brushing past the mage and leaving the arcade.

About an hour after the incident Yugi had parted ways with his friends and headed home with Dark Magician. "Master?" asked the mage as they reached the game shop, waiting for Yugi to turn his attention to him. "Is it alright if I go for a walk? I need some fresh air..." he stated, watching the expression on his young master's face. "Well, I guess it's ok... you obviously don't need me or Grandpa to babysit you... just be back by nightfall and remember to use the emergency button on your wristband should anything happen..." replied Yugi, sounding like a concerned sibling or parent.

Dark Magician chuckled and ruffled the shorter male's hair playfully. "Of course Master... I'll be back before you know it..." he said, waving and heading off as Yugi went inside. He wandered around the area, thinking about things when he suddenly found himself in a part of town he didn't recognize. He wandered down an alleyway, hoping to find his way back when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, falling to his knees and clutching it as several pairs of shoes came into his vision.

"Well well well, look at who we have here... If it isn't the Dark Magician..." said a voice. The mage felt a growl leave him as he looked up, spotting none other than Bandit Keith and his group of thugs. Keith chuckled and kicked away Dark Magician's staff before the mage could grab it to defend himself with. "Oops, my bad... not so tough without your little wand, now are ya?" Keith asked, smirking. "Perhaps, but I can still use my magic!" said Dark Magician, getting to his feet only to get punched back to the ground before he even had a chance to retaliate.

Keith and his goons laughed as the blonde knelt down and roughly grabbed the magician by the chin, forcing him to look up. "you know, I'd really hate to mess up that pretty face of yours-" Keith recoiled when the mage suddenly spat in his face, a snarl leaving him. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Keith shouted, kicking Dark Magician so hard in the stomach that the mage actually coughed up blood. Keith continued to kick and hit the mage, not giving him the chance to defend himself.

"I tried being nice, but I guess that's not your style..." the blonde said, smirking at the now battered spellcaster and kneeling down again. "But I'll tell you what... I might let you go without further injury to that pretty face of yours..." he roughly grabbed Dark Magician's face and held it close to his own. "If you give me a little kiss~..." Dark Magician growled audibly. "G-Go to the S-Shadow Realm..." he said, again spitting in Keith's face. Keith sneered and drew back a hand to strike the mage only for a hand in a white gauntlet to grab his wrist.

"What the hell!? Let me go!" Keith yelled, turning only to find his gang of thugs all knocked out and coming face to face with someone wearing a white suit of armor similar to Black Luster Soldier and a helmet shaped like a dragon. "Don't you know it's rude to attack someone out of the blue and demand things from them that they don't want to give?" the figure asked, then proceeded to knock out Keith before moving to Dark Magician and gently picking up the injured mage bridal style. "Kuri, grab his staff..." the supposed knight said, a young boy with very wild brown hair, big purple and yellow eyes and green fiend-like hands wearing some gray robes running out and picking up Dark Magician's staff.

Dark Magician looked up at his savior as the knight begin walking. "Who... are you?" he asked, having never seen anyone like the person before him. "I do not really have a name, but you may call me Yūsha**... for now, rest..." the knight said, looking down at him. "Yūsha... thank you..." said the mage, slowly losing consciousness as he succumbed to his injuries. "Think he'll be ok?" asked Kuri, looking with wide eyes at the unconscious mage. "He will be fine once we get him back to his master Kuri... though next time I hope he pays more attention so he doesn't run into any more trouble..."

DONE! Whew that took forever! I think I did a pretty good job on this chapter! What do you guys think? Did I do good? And just who is this mysterious white knight that has appeared? He doesn't sound like any Duel Monster I've ever heard of or seen... is he perhaps new? Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

*According to the Yu-Gi-Oh wiki, Kaiba is 186 cm (6'1") tall. I didn't really know just how tall Dark Magician is supposed to be since the duels in the anime make him look a lot taller than a normal person, so instead I went with the height of DM's previous incarnation Mahad, who happens to be 183 cm (6'0") tall. It just made sense in my mind.

**According to Google Translate, "Yūsha" translates to "hero". Yes, I know Google Translate isn't the most reliable translator out there, but it's basically the only one I have access to. Plus, this translation was from English to Japanese and was a verified translation, so that has to count for something, right?

Also, I originally had DM telling Keith to go fuck himself, but I changed it because that felt way too blunt and just didn't seem like DM's style. So instead I went for a more subtle version of "go fuck yourself" XD.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed! Until next time, Icy is out!
