YU-GI-OH EXTREME

By: XZanayu and Defafeath Mechqua





Chapter Seven

Date For: The Christmas Dance





I had been attending high school with Yugi for four months now. During that time I became friends with his friends Joji, Honda, Anzu, Bakura and even Mai, despite her attitude. Life has been going well for me. I've got new friends, I love attending school for the very first time in my life and it seems I'm a very popular topic among the young men at school.



I have had many come up to me asking to be my boyfriend, but I always politely turn them down. My heart already belongs to one very special young man, even though he doesn't know it yet. Things are well at home as well. Ouji-san is treating me like a daughter and I think he knows how I feel about his grandson and seems to be happy with it. Fay is still crazy as ever, but thanks to her, I have a great wardrobe and kind of an older sister to me.



Yugi and I also getting closer, friendship wise that is. He taught me how to become a master duelist and we hang together and we sit in his room doing our homework and just talking up a storm. But, lately I've been wanting more than just being Yugi's friend.



"Hey, guys. Guess what? The Christmas dance is this Friday. You gonna go?" Anzu ran up to me, Yugi, Joji, and Honda.



"Sure are!" Honda said ecstatically. "And Serenity's is going to be my date!"

"Excuse me, but did you ask me if you could take my sister to the dance?" Joji asked, glaring at Honda.



"And since when do I need to ask you permission to take your sister out?" Honda asked with a responding glare.



"Since Serenity is my sister, that's when!" Joji said getting in Honda's face.



"So, Yugi. Who are you gonna take to the dance?" Anzu asked, getting my and Yugi attention while Joji and Honda continued arguing over Serenity.



"I don't know Anzu. I have someone in mind, but I haven't asked her yet."



This got everyone's attention. "Really, Yug?" Joji asked.

"Who is it?" Honda asked.



"Well.." Yugi looked down and he blushed. "I can't say who she is, but she's someone you all know and you'll find out who she is Friday night at the dance."

"Wow, Yugi. She must be really special if you don't want us to see who she is until Friday. So, when are

you gonna asked her?" Anzu asked.



"Soon." Yugi replied.

Just then the bell rang to let us know that school was over.



Yugi, Anzu, and I are walking home together as we usually do with Anzu grilling Yugi about who his

mystery date is.



"Is she pretty?" Anzu asked. I just listened to the conversation, wondering who this mystery girl was myself.



"Yes, she's very pretty." Yugi answered.



The Game shop appeared up ahead.



"Is she our age?" Anzu asked as we approached the front door.



"Yes, she is. Now, enough questions. I'll see you tomorrow, Anzu. Sayonara." Yugi told her, opening the door.

"Bye, Anzu-kun." I waved goodbye as she walked off.



"See you later."



I closed the door. "Ohayo, Ouji-san." I greeted him at the counter and gave him a kiss on the cheek as I always did since living in his home for the past four months.



"Hello, kids. How was school?" Ouji-san asked.



"Good. Ouji-san, we're going upstairs to get started on our homework." Yugi told him, taking my hand and pulling me along with him upstairs.



"Okay. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes."



"Are you cooking?" Yugi called out.



"No. Fay is." Ouji-san called back.



"That's good." Yugi muttered.



I giggled. Anytime, Ouji-san cooked it was hard not to keep a straight face. Don't get me wrong, we love

Ouji-san, but his cooking skills leave much to be desired.



We stopped at Yugi's bedroom door. "Zana, I wanted to ask you.." He paused and looked down at his feet.



I was curious to know what he wanted. "Ask me what?"



He looked up at me with a blush still on his face.

"Will...will you be my date for the Christmas dance?"



I was shocked and elated. Yugi had ask me to be his date. I nodded.



"I would love to be your date for the dance, Yugi-chan."



"Honto ne?"

"Yes, really." I smiled at him with a blush.



He blushed even darker as he smiled up at me.



"Okay! The dance starts at eight. I'll make all the preparations. All you have to do is just be ready to dance." Yugi said to me and went into his room and closed the door.



I immediately ran down the hall toward my room, but stopped at Fay's room along the way. I knocked.



"Who's is it?"



"It me, Fay. Open up. Its urgent." I said excitedly.



The door open and there stood Fay in a black tank top and low-rise jeans.



"This better be important love. I was in the middle of dissectin' a frog so this BETTER be good!" She asked.

I ignored that part about her dissecting a frog and walked past her into her room, then told her to close

the door.



"You're quite bouncy today. Looks like you're about to burst. What's the buzz?" Fay asked looking at me take a seat on her bed.



I hopped on her bed and jumped up and down excitedly while smiling brightly. "The school is having a Christmas dance."



"So?"



"Yugi asked me to be his date and I said yes." I said happily, my heart pounding in my ears.



"Pay dirt!!" Fay cried. "When did he ask you?" She asked.



"Just now. He's going to make all the preparations. All I need is a dress."



"There's only one thin' to do at a time like this." She jumped up on the bed with me. Did I mention that her bed was extra bouncy?

"What's that?"

"A shoppin' trip. I'll take you tomorrow." Fay said with a sigh.

"You sound depressed. . . . Any reason?" I asked carefully.

My friend stopped bouncing. "Well when I was but just wee little babe. My mother abandoned me in mall, in the clothin' department," Fay sniffed with tiny pools of crystal tears forming in her eyes. "They said that my mother was a druggie and that she spit on me before stealin' some gin and runnin' like crazy outta the store. They never caught 'er." Fay put her face in her hands and started sobbing.

I stopped jumping and put a hand on her shoulder, "Oh Fay I'm-" it was then that I noticed that noticed she was suppressing a smile. "Oh Fay I'm gonna murder you!" I grabbed her pillow and proceeded to whack her unmercilessly.

"Oh no you don't!" She shouted back then grabbed another pillow and whacked me back. I screamed when I fell off the bed and Fay, not knowing what mercy is, proceeded to whack me with two pillows.

"What's going on here?" Ouji-san asked as he entered the room followed by a curious young Yugi.

"PILLOW FIGHT!" Fay screamed and whacked the two other males with pillows as well. The other two grinned and the four of us had one hullava pillow fight that night.

*************************************************



Today is Thursday and just as she promised. Fay was waiting for me at the school entrance. We bid Yugi and the others goodbye and were on our way to various clothing stores and the mall to find the perfect dress.



We searched all day and none of the stores and the mall had what we were looking for. So, we stopped at a out of the way clothing store on the way home since it was getting dark.



"Eeehk! The clothes in here suck." Fay said looking at a hideous green ball gown.



I was about to reply when I saw IT. THE DRESS. It stood out like a beacon of light. I knew it was the one and it seemed to call to me. I walked up to it and immediately took it off the rack and turned around.



"Excuse me?" I said getting the sales-woman's attention. "May I try this on?"



"Of course. The dressing room is in the back." She answered.



"Thank you." I went into the dressing room and entered one of the stalls, changed into the dress and walked out to get Fay's opinion.



"Well, Fay? What do you think?" I asked.

"Wow!! Yugi-boy's won't keep his eyes off you in that hot little number! Excellent choice!" Fay complemented as she walked around me to see the full dress.

"You look smashing, my dear. That dress is one of a kind. If I didn't know better, I think the dress was custom made to fit only your figure." The saleswoman said to me.

I blushed and told her I would take the dress. I went and changed back into my school uniform, walked up to the counter and let the saleswoman ring up the dress.



"Wow! This dress is only ten yen!" She told Fay and I. We looked at each other in shock.



"That's all?" Fay asked.

"Yes, ma'am. The dress was a last minute project and the designer figured no one would buy it. That's why its only price at ten yen."



I smiled and paid the saleswoman. She placed the dress in a plastic covering, thanked us for coming and bid us farewell and Merry Christmas.



"Well, that was lucky. Anyway, let's get home. I'm sure that Ouji-san and Yugi-boy are worried. And

tomorrow we have an appointment and the beauty salon to get your hair and nails done. We'll take care of your make up at home. It was nice of the school to let it students out two hours early to get ready for the dance tomorrow night." Fay said as we make our way home.

Once there, I greeted Yugi and Ouji-san, had dinner and went to bed. I was so excited about tomorrow. I eventually fell asleep with a dreamy smile on my face.

*********************************************



The day of the dance. The bell rung and our click immediately split up to get ready for tonight. Fay

took me to Victoria's beauty salon to have my hair and nails done. My hair was pinned up in bun with a couple of ringlets on the side and nape of my neck. I got an American pedicure and my nails were painted the same shade as my dress at the house. Once done, we went home hoping Yugi wasn't there yet or in his room getting ready.



"Ouji-san, is Yugi here?" I asked when Fay and I got home.



"Nope, not yet." He answered from the kitchen.

"Good. We beat him here." Fay said. We, then, rushed up to my room. I quickly took a shower and carefully removed my dress from the plastic. I put on my caramel-colored thigh high stalking, lace push-up strapless bra with matching thong in black. I put the dress on and asked Fay to come in and zip me up in the back. Next, was my make up.



Fay applied the barest hint of brown eye shadow on my eyes and mulberry- colored lipstick to my lips. Not

really much make-up was needed because Fay said it would take away from my natural beauty.



"Hey, Zana. What's this?" Fay asked looking at something on my bed.



"What's what?" I replied putting on my black, ankle-strap, 2 and 1/2 inch pumps. It didn't want high heels because of Yugi. I'm already taller than him. I got up and went over to my bed.



Sitting on the bed was a small gold-colored chest with a note attached.



"Where this come from?" I opened the note. "Its from dad." I said excitedly.



*Koneko-chan,

How are you? The duel monsters and I are fine. I thought you might need these since tonight is a special night for you. Have fun and I love you.

Otosan.

P.S. The other duel monsters send their love to you.*

I put the note down on the bed and opened the chest. Fay and I both gasped at what was inside.



Nestled atop the navy blue velvet lining of the chest was a dazzling diamond choker with matching diamond and pearl teardrop earrings. I carefully removed the choker and had Fay put it around my neck and I placed the earrings in my ears and walked to stand in front of my full-length mirror.



*Oh, princess. You look absolutely beautiful. You're mother would have been so proud.* Yunie told me as I looked myself over.



"Yeah." I closed my eyes and smiled at the thought of my mother. I blinked away the tears that threatened to come forth.



"Well, I'm going to get my camera and I call you downstairs. I want Yug and Ouji-san to see your entrance." Fay told me and walked out my room.



I turned back around to the mirror smiled brightly at my reflection along with Yunie.

*********************************************



7:40pm. Ouji-san and Yugi were already downstairs waiting for me to come down.



"Wow, Yugi. You look marvelous." Ouji-san complemented Yugi.



"Thanks." Yugi replied looking down out his tuxedo. It was black with a matching black vest and bow-tie. His black, patent-leather shoes and millennium puzzle completed the outfit.



Fay came down the stairs. "Gentleman. I proudly present Miss XZanayu Jackson." She motioned towards

the stairs with her hand. I came down dressed to the nines. My red, strapless, floor-length sheath dress molded to the curves of my body as I came down. My diamond choker and earrings flashed in the light, my millennium bracelet completed my outfit. I stood at the bottom of the stairs and turned around once.



"How beautiful." Ouji-san said, with a blush on his face.

Yugi was speechless. He just started and blushed a deep crimson. I walked up to him with a dazzling smile on my face.

"You're very handsome, Yugi." I told him.



He blushed down to his neck and smiled at me. "You look incredible." He replied.



"Get real, Yug. She looks good enough to eat." Fay said causing Yugi to glare at her and me giggle.



"Well, we better get going we don't want to be late. The limo is waiting for us." Yugi said.



"A limo? Going all out to impress Zana eh, Yugi-boy?" Fay teased.



"Fay stop it." Ouji-san said happily.

"Wait! Let me get a picture before you leave. Stand close together now and Yug, put you arm around Zana's waist and Zana, put you arm around Yug's shoulder. Perfect!" Fay said and snapped the picture.



"One more." Fay snapped the picture again. "Okay, you guys have fun and don't do anything hentai while you're out. Heh, heh-OW!"

"Cut it out, Fay." Ouji-san said, swatting Fay upside her head for her remark.



"I was just teasing, geez!" Fay said rubbing her head then muttered something about people having no sense of humor these days. I reached for my matching red evening wrap Fay held for me, waved goodbye to her and Ouji- san, entered the limo and Yugi and I were on our way to the dance.

*********************************************



"Hey guys." Honda called out to the couple he and Serenity was walking towards.



"Honda, Serenity, you guys look great." Anzu said.

"So do you. I see Bakura's your date, huh?" Honda said seeing Bakura standing beside her.

"Yeah. Bakura asked me Wednesday and you won't believe who Joji's date is." Anzu said.



"Who?" Honda asked.

"Hey, everybody." A voice said from behind him.



Honda and Serenity turned around to see who it was and Honda face vaulted. It was Joji and he was with..



"Mai?! You're Joji's date?" Honda said stunned and shocked at the same time.



"Hi, Aniki. You two look great." Serenity said to her brother and Mai.



"Of course we do. We're the best looking couple here." Mai said arrogantly.

Everyone in the group sweat dropped.

"Uh, yeah. So, have you guys seen Yugi?" Anzu asked.

"No. Yug and his mystery date haven't arrived yet." Joji answered.



"Mystery date?" Mai asked curiously.



"Yeah. Yugi told us he was bringing someone, but he didn't say who it was. But, he said we'll know who it is we they get here." Joji explained.



Then, they noticed everything was quiet.

"What's going on?" Bakura asked quietly.



Then, they all noticed that everyone's attention was directed at the entrance of the gym. They looked and

were transfixed. There, just inside the entrance of the gym stood Yugi and XZanayu. They looked the total

opposite of each other. XZanayu tall, pretty and popular while Yugi was short, popular, and the king of

duel monsters, yet together they looked like the perfect couple.



"Looks like we stopped the show, Yugi." I whispered to him while looking at everyone point and stare.



"Hey, there's Joji and the others. Let's join them." Yugi said talking my hand. I smiled down at him lovingly and we walked side by side to our group of friends standing to the far right while catching snatches of whispered conversations.



*What does she see in him?*

*I never thought XZanayu could get any hotter, I was wrong.*

*What's she got they I don't.*

*They look so perfect together.*



The last comment I heard as Yugi and I closed in our friends make me smile even more. I looked down at Yugi and he looked up at me and smiled to let me know he heard it too.



"Hi everyone." I said when we reached them.

"Zana, you look gorgeous!" Joji complemented, much to Mai's disappointment.



"Yeah, that dress is beautiful." Anzu said.



"Thank you." I told her.



"So, she was who you were referring to when you said we knew who she was." Honda said, looking at Yugi.



Yugi smiled with pride. "That's right. Come on, let's go get a table and sit down."



We all found a table and sat down. Just then, the DJ played Brandy's Full Moon. We got up from our table and danced along with everyone else in the gym. Then,

the song You Love Me by Jill Scott came on and all the couples started to slow dance.



Yugi and I moved gracefully like two experienced dancers. Our bodies in sync with the other. I felt so warm and treasured in Yugi's embrace. I smiled contentedly, my eyes on Yugi and no one else. I wondered if he felt what I was feeling. So engrossed in our thoughts and each other, we didn't notice that all the other couples stop dancing to watch Yugi and me. When

the song ending, everyone applauded. Yugi and I blushed and bowed.

When 12am arrived, the dance ended and after saying good night to everyone, Yugi and I got in the limo and headed for home.



"Yugi? Thank you." I told him sitting beside him.



"For what?"

"For asking me to the dance and for giving me the best time of my life. I really appreciate it." I looked into his eyes. Those eyes. So beautiful, you could drown in them.



Yugi blushed. "You're welcome." Then, he yawned.



"Oh, sorry." He apologized.



"That's okay. I'm tired too."



I did something bold then. I gently took Yugi's arms and pulled his head down into my lap and began stroking his hair. It was soft and silky.

I could tell he was blushing.

"Zana-chan." He whispered my name.



"Shhh. Just sleep, my Yugi-chan." I said softly to him as I continue to stroke his hair.



Soon, his breathing was deep and even. Letting me know he was asleep. I continued to stroke his hair all the way home.



*****************************************



"Yugi-chan? Yugi-chan. Time to wake up." I shook him gently. We had arrived home at the game shop.

"Hmm?" I heard him moaned and start to stir.



"Wake up. We're home." I said softly.



He sat up and yawned just as the chauffeur open the door for us. I took the chauffeur's hand as he

assisted me out of the limo. Yugi came out behind me and paid the driver. We wished him good night and a merry Christmas then he left. We approached the door to the shop. Yugi took out his key and open the door to let us in from the cold outside.

We walked in silence up the stairs towards our bedrooms. We stopped at Yugi's bedroom door.



"Thanks again for a wonderful evening. I had a great time." I told him.



"My pleasure." He answered.



We stared at each other. Our eyes confessing what our hearts could felt, but our mouths could not say.



"Hey, your back."

The spell broken, we turned our heads to see Fay in her PJ's with a glass of milk in one hand and a plate

of chocolate cookies in the other. Talk about bad timing.



"So, how was the dance?" Fay asked stopping where we were.



"Just fine." Yugi muttered, obviously upset at Fay's arrival.

"Did I interrupt somethin'?" She asked looking at Yugi and me.



"We were just saying good night." I replied looking at Yugi.

"Oh. Well, get on with so Zana here can tell about the dance before she goes to bed." Fay said, popping another cookie in her mouth.

We both sighed.

"Goodnight, Yugi-chan."

"Goodnight, Zana-chan." Yugi open his door and closed it. I stared at it.

"Well, come on. I want to know everything that happened tonight. Who wore what, who came with who,

and did you and Yugi have sex in the limo on the way home." Fay said herding me to her room.

"Fay!" I blushed and glared at her.



She giggled. "I'm just teasing, girl. So what happened?" She closed her door.









WELL, CHAPTER EIGHT WILL BE THE CHRISTMAS CHAPTER!! YAY!!!!
