Gala rubbed her hands together as she walked to the duelist platform, getting ready to duel Yami in the next match. Ever since she had dueled him a few days ago, all she wanted to do was get him in a match again.

Yami gulped. He didn't want to face Galanodel, no way, no how. But he was being forced again. He closed his eyes as the platform raised. He wouldn't allow ugi to duel for him, he couldn't trust Galanodel not to use her feminine wilds on him. Though, they were good wilds..NO! He couldn't think like that!

"I select Dark Paladin as my avatar." Galanodel said, snapping Yami out of his daze.

"Well, I will too then." Yami said, shuffling his deck. "Who should go first?"

"You love." Gala said, blowing him a kiss. Yami gulped and drew.

"I will first play Pot of Greed. I will then set this card and summon Dark Skilled Magician to the field." On the field, the dark mage appeared, his aura barely around him.

Gala chuckled. "Pulling a move out of my playbook?"

"I was doing that before you."

"When?"

Yami paused. "...I know I did it before hand!"

"Sure you did sweetheart, keep telling yourself that."

Yami had had enough. "Ok, I am getting tired of your playing around! So, I am going to make a bet with you: If I win, you must reveal yourself to the world. And If you win..I am yours."

Kaikou jumped out of her seat. "No Yami!"

Joey nodded. "Don't be stupid Yug!"

"Hell No!" Everyone whipped around and looked at Chaos, who was looking at Yami. "Get some sense in your damn head boy! That is foolishness!"

Kaikou was shocked. "You..you agree with us?"

"On this subject, yes."

Gala looked at Mr. Chaos. "Chaos, this is my choice, not yours!"

"It is when you are about to risk all you know for some booty!" Chaos said. The audience snickered. "Oh, grow up!"

Gala sighed. "I accept Yami." Chaos grumbled and sat down, as did the other duelists. "Now, I will set this monster and this card and end my turn." " I will summon Dark Blade and have it attack your downface card." The swordsman spun his sword, and cut the card, revealing Vindictive Old Magician. Yami frowned.

"I will now activate my magician's effect, and will destroy your Skilled Dark Magician." Gala laughed as Yami ended his turn. "Your bet is looking pretty bad right now. And it's about to get worse. I will set this card and end my turn."

Yami looked at his hand. He needed to get back into this. "I will use now Monster Reborn to summon my Skilled Dark Magician back to the field, and have it attack!"

The Mage fired a blast, only to have it hit a group fo Troop Dragons. Gala searched her deck for another dragon group and looked at Yami. He decided not to give her Dark paladin any more potential firepower. Gala set one monster card and ended her turn.

"I think it is time to clean your field off, there is a lot of clutter on it. First, I will use Tribute to the Doomed." Yami took his Feral Imp and placed it into the graveyard. From the ground, bandages spun out and captured her Troop Dragons, killing them. Gala searched her deck for her final one. "Little good that will do. I also play Raigeki Break. Might as well send that card right to the graveyard."

The lightning raced at the second troop, only to be blocked by a large metal device. "I activate my Spell Shield Type-8. This improved shield, brought to you by Spell Co. can slice, dice and negate spells that target my monsters."

Yami smiled. "At least I got two counters out of that. Now, I will have my Dark Blade and Skilled Mage attack your monsters."

The Skilled Dark Magician swung his staff, and shattered the last troop dragon. But when Dark Blade sliced at the other card, it was sent flying back, Gala's Royal Magic Library reacting to the assault. (Yami-5800)

Gala set yet another card and ended her turn. Yami frowned, and had his dark Blade attack the down face monster. Magician of Faith appeared, and Gala put her spell shield type 8 back in her hand.

"I will set this card, and summon my Skilled Dark Magician to the field." She looked at Yami, and he had the strangest feeling that she was grinning. "I will now attack your Skilled Magician."

"But that will destroy them both!"

"Exactly."
