Chapter six: The Game

**

"Dark Magician attack!" ordered Yami to his favorite monster.

DM attacked and finished the Shadow Game.

"This means I win" said Yami. "Yeah!" said Jonouchi and Mai in unison.

The young Pharaoh looked at Mera smiling. She didn't smile back but nodded.

"You're very skilled my Pharaoh" she said as Yami sat in a chair beside her. "What about you?" he asked to her. "I don't know if I'm that skilled" answered Mera. "Then I challenge you to a Shadow Game" said a female voice. "Anzu you want to play with me?" asked Mera looking at the other girl. "Yes I do" replied Anzu "Here and now". "Very well" accepted Mera.

From all the monsters the Pharaoh had they picked some. Then they positioned.

"This shall be interesting" said Rasejem standing beside Yami who was now sitting on his aset(throne) looking at both girls with interest. "Have you seen Mera play?" asked the boy. "I haven't my Pharaoh, that is why I'm interested" answered the girl's father.

"Duel" said Anzu and Mera in unison. "You start Anzu" said Mera. "Here I go" said Anzu "I summon The Forgiving Maiden in defense mode". (2000)

The monster moved into the field.

"Your move" said Anzu. Then she thought 'I'm going to win this easily'.

"Mystical Elf in defense mode" said Mera. (2000)

The monster moved onto the field before her mistress.

"I pass my turn" said Anzu sounding a little bored. "I think that you should have made a move because here I go Anzu" said Mera "Now I summon Gemini Elf in attack mode!" (1900).

"I think she's insane" said Honda "There's no way Gemini Elf can destroy The Forgiving Maiden". "If Mera has something planned then it can" replied Yami looking at Mera interested "We'll see soon enough".

"You can't destroy my monster Mera" said Anzu in a tone as-a-matter-of-fact. "Oh but I can Anzu, once I play this" replied Mera extending a hand towards a face down stone tablet at her right side "A Field tablet named Yami! It increases the attack and defense of all Spellcaster monsters by two hundred points and decreases the attack and defense of all fairy type monsters by two hundred points".

"Mera's monsters are both Spellcasters and Anzu's monster is a fairy type" said Yami very interested "A very clever move".

"So your monster has 1800 defense points while my Gemini Elf has 2100 attack points" said Mera "Then I switch my Mystical Elf into attack mode, now having 1000 attack points. Gemini Elf destroy the Maiden!".

The monster attacked and destroyed Anzu's monster.

"Oh no I'm wide open for a direct attack!" said Anzu. "Now Mystical Elf attack!" ordered Mera.

Anzu received a direct hit from Mera's monster.

"To finish my move I will play a tablet face down" said Mera. "I summon Summoned Skull in attack mode!" said Anzu. (2500) "It gets a boost because of your field tablet that raises the attack and defense of all Fiend type monsters" said Anzu "So now it has 2700 attack points. Go my monster attack Gemini Elf!".

The monster attacked.

"Hold on Anzu, did you forget about my face down tablet?" asked Mera "Activate Mirror Force! This trap will reflect your attack back at your monster, causing it to destroy itself". "Oh no!" said Anzu "I said that the first ua(one) that got senu(two) hits would lose!".

Anzu's monster was destroyed.

"Now Gemini Elf attack her!" ordered Mera.

Gemini Elf attacked Anzu and gave her the senunu(second) hit, causing her to lose the Game.

"Wow, that was great Mera!" said Shizuka "I never thought you could be that precise".

Yami stood from his aset(throne) and walked towards Mera.

"I lost" murmured Anzu. "Don't you worry Anzu, there will be plenty of other Games" said Yami as he approached the other girl.

"My Pharaoh" said Mera making a neb(reverence) "You saw me play as you wanted". "Yes Mera and you're also very skilled and precise in every move you make" said Yami as Mera stood straight. "Thank you" she replied.

Suddenly she felt him taking her hand and kissing it softly.

'No!' thought Anzu angrily as she saw them.

Mera stared plainly at Yami as he let go of her hand and smiled.

"It was an interesting Game Mera, I hope I can see you again playing" he said. "It was an honor playing in your presence my Pharaoh" replied the young girl. "Call me Yami, as all my friends do Mera" said himself. "No, I prefer to call you as what you are to me, my Pharaoh" replied Mera. "Am I not your friend Mera?" asked Yami. "You are" answered Mera back.

"Then why are you so aloof my dear Mera?" asked the young Pharaoh looking at her emotionless eyes. "Please my Pharaoh, don't call me like that" stated Mera moving her gaze away. "All my friends are dear to me" replied Yami "And you are very dear to me Mera. Is that bad?". "No it's not bad my Pharaoh but…" said Mera slowly.

Yami looked at her wondering what she was about to say.

"Just don't call me like that, please my Pharaoh" she said again. "Very well" he said "Can you answer me the question?". "I am not aloof my Pharaoh" answered Mera "Remember that not everybody treats the other the same way. I may seem aloof to you but this is my way of treating people". "Every time you speak I learn something new of you Mera" said Yami "Now I learned that you don't have that much contact with people, is that correct?".

"You might say that" answered Mera. "Come, you and I will visit a place I want to show you" he said changing the subject "And have a long talk". "What about the others?" asked the young girl. "They won't mind if I'm not here for some time, my rekh-nesu(counselor)s will cover for me if something happens" answered the Pharaoh. "I don't know" replied Mera. "You will be with me, what's the worst that could happen?" said Yami looking at her. 'What I fear' thought Mera.

"Come" said Yami again.

At the end the young girl agreed and walked away with the Pharaoh, knowing that she was about to get in trouble when she reached home that night.
