{Burkera 600 Ranma 100}

"After I use Polymerization the duel will be over Burkera!" Burkera grinned evilly.

"That won't work Yami, you need two compatible monsters and you don't have any on the field."

"That's why I'll first play Umiruka and equip it to my Buster Blader. It won't raise his attack points since he's not a water monster but it will make him wet." He smiled as a thoroughly soaked Ranma chan glared up at him.

"What did you do that for?!"

"Sorry Ranma but we all have to make sacrifices, now I'll lay this card face down and I play Polymerization to fuse Performance of Swords and my Female Buster Blader together." Ukyou and Ranma both shouted together.

"What!?!" Yami quickly laid down the magic card necessary and Ukyou and Ranma felt themselves being pulled closer together.

"Wait! What if we can't un-fuse?"

"To late now." Ranma-chan's and Ukyou's bodies collided and were obscured by a ball of light. It slowly faded away to show a female carrying a long curved sword and dressed in scarlet armor. Its face was hidden by a helmet but long red hair done in a ponytail came out of the back and brown eyes peered out at the zombie rider. Yami grinned.

"Behold the Scarlet Amazon of the East!" [2100, 2500] Burkera looked on confused.

"What good will that do you? Its attack points are still to low to destroy my monster" Yami smirked.

"Just try to destroy it; you'll be in for a surprise." Burkera drew a card and placed one from his hand onto the field.

"It's obvious that that face down card is a trap so I play Mystic Space Typhoon to destroy it." A vortex appeared over Ranma's side of the field and made his face down card shatter.

"I thought so, a Mirror Force card. That would have won you the game Yami but without it you can't win. Now attack my Dokuro Rider!" [2750, 1600] The Cyclist began to swing his chain as he charged forward. Yami's monster pulled back it's sword into a defensive stance as Burkera's monster roared down on her.

___________________________________________________

Burkera watched in horror as his monster was ripped to shreds. Ranma/Ukyou calmly stepped back and wiped the blood off her sword."

"There's a reason she's called the Crimson AMAZON of the East, any male monster attacking is instantly destroyed and the difference in attack points is subtracting from your life points. Meaning you lose!"

{Burkera 0, Yami 100}

Burkera fell on his knees.

"No it can't be!" Yami face grew hard and the millennium symbol appeared on his forehead.

"It is, and in accordance with the rules of the Shadow Realm I banish your soul for all of eternity!" Burkera screamed as his body changed color and shattered like glass. Yami sighed as the shadows around him slowly disappeared. He had hoped he could have avoided banishing Burkera but his soul had been so tainted that there was no hope of saving it. He picked up the millennium ring from around Hinako's neck and watched as it started to tarnish and become dented. Without its spirit the ring had become just an ordinary piece of jewlry over four thousand years old. He heard a grunt and looked down to see Ukyou slowly waking up. He also felt Ranma returning so he shifted and let him take over.

Ranma blinked and looked around, the last thing he remembered was being drawn towards Ukyou and now he was here. He saw her waking up and hurried over to help her up.

"Uchan are you okay?" she slowly recognized him and suddenly got angry.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh.tell you about what?"

"You know what I mean." With that Ukyou rose up and stormed out of Hinako's office. Yami was puzzled.

____________________________________________________

Yami swore every curse word in every language he knew as Ranma ran across the school yard trying to spot Ukyo. (He'd lived for four thousand years and had picked up a lot of swear words in that time) If they didn't stop her soon she might tell others and the last thing Yami needed was for others to know about him right now. Suddenly a figure wearing a blue coat and large metal device on his left arm blocked his path.

"Hold it right there Ranma!"

"Kaiba?"

"That's right and today I'm going to reclaim my position as the worlds top duelists and win your Blue eyes. Draw you deck!"

"I don't have time for this Kaiba, I have to find my friend so get out of my way."

"Not a chance. I'm not going to move until you duel me. Now draw your deck or I swear your friends will get hurt." Yami had had enough of Kaiba's bulling and even though he was tired from his shadow duel he took control and glared.

"Fine, if that's the way you want it then that's the way it's going to be. But if I can beat you in one turn you will never threaten any of my family or friends again to get me to duel agreed?" Kaiba laughed.

"You have got to be kidding! Even though you did beat me in our first duel it took you several turns and you still lost life points. What makes you think you can beat me so quickly?" Ranma grew serious.

"Last time I was using a friend's deck, now I will duel with a deck of my own creation. Now bring out your holographic toy and let's duel!" Kaiba smirked.

"Were not going to mess with that old clunker, after our last duel I designed these." He motioned to the device on his wrist.

"This is KaibaCorp's latest invention, the duel disc system. With this device we can have our duel anywhere, but with ten times the realism of a normal duel. Just insert your deck into the slot and we'll begin. Now let's duel!"

{Kaiba 2000, Ranma 2000.}

Kaiba drew a card.

"Since you feel so confident that you will win how about I go first." Ranma nodded grimly.

"Very well, now I'll use a combo from our last duel. First I summon the Lord of Dragons in Defense mode, and then arm him with the Flute of Summoning Dragons, allowing me to bring forth two Blue Eyes White Dragons!" Two giant winged monsters appeared and roared to the heavens. Students all over the school came running to get a better look. Kaiba smirked.

"Now it's your turn Ranma, I know you wish I hadn't done that but I had to. I am the world's greatest duelist and I have to own your Blue Eyes to stay that way." Kaiba suddenly became unsettled at Ranma's smirk as he laid a card on the field.

"On the contrary, my plan revolved around your big ego forcing you to bring out your two best monsters. Now I'll end this duel in one turn just like I said. First I use Tribute to the Doomed, allowing me to destroy one of your monsters and I choose one of your Blue Eyes!" Bandages burst out of the ground and wrapped around Kaiba's Blue Eyes before a grisly hand came up and dragged it underground.

"Now I use Monster Reborn to bring it back under my control and summon my own Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Both Monsters appeared on Ranma's side of the field as Kaiba started to get nervous.

"But one more move before I annihilate you, I use Change of Heart to take control of your other Blue Eyes for one full turn and bring him to my side of the field!" Kaiba almost fell over as his last dragon was taken from him.

"And now to finish you off, I flip over my face down card and activate Polymerization to form the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" All three of the Blue Eyes were pulled into a ball of light before coming out as a three headed monster over fifty feet high.

"Now you may be asking yourself how I'm going to wipe out your life points if your Lord of Dragons is in defense mode right? Well that's simple; I'll now equip my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with the magic card Fairy Meteor Crush." This time Kaiba did fall over.

"Fairy Meteor Crush allows a monster to treat your monster like it's in attack mode and inflict damage to your life points even if it's in defense mode. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATACK! NEUTRON BLAST!!!!!" All three of the Ultimate Dragons mouths opened and energy collected inside before joining and blasting forward, destroying Kaiba's monster and wiping out his life points.

{Kaiba 0, Ranma 2000}

Ranma glared down at the young corporation leader.

"I told you I could beat you in one turn, and if you don't live up to your end of the bargain you will regret it." With that Ranma ran across the school grounds to find Ukyou. Kaiba's little brother Mokuba ran out from behind some bushes to check on his older sibling.

"Seto are you okay!?" he glared back at Ranma's running form.

"I swear I'm going to get you for doing this to my big brother Ranma!"

Ranma ran down the sidewalk towards the Uchan hoping that she might have gone there. So wrapped up was he with running and tuning out Yami's profanity that he barely dodged the umbrella that was swung at his head. He flipped back to dodge it as a chain buried itself in the concrete where he had been standing.

"Ranma stand and fight you coward! How dare you abandon Akane like that!"

"Saotome! Release my beautiful Shampoo!" Suddenly the sound of a bell was heard and Ranma felt a weight around his neck as Shampoo glomped him.

"Airen too too brave to beat rich dragon man twice! Come to Cat Café and Shampoo make 'Special' raman for Ranma to celebrate." Ranma began to dodge Ryoga's umbrella a second time when suddenly the air was filled with rose petals.

"Ranma Sama! Let me take you home and we will have our own duel, but not with cards!" Every one paused to shudder for a moment and then went back to fighting.

"Ranma you BAKA! How dare you run out on me like that!" Ranma saw the mallet reigning down on him and braced himself for the pain but was surprised to find his body moving on its own. His pigtail came undone and his hair flared out like a halo. The millennium Symbol appeared on his forehead as Yami roared with rage.

"ENOUGH!!!!!" The pavement around his feet cracked and gave way as his muscles bulked up.

"I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU ALL!!!!" Beams of light began to shine out of the cracks in the pavement as Ranma threw back his head and roared. A black sphere of shadow energy collected around Ranma's body and expanded, smashing against his antagonists and knocking them back. By the time they had gotten over their shock Ranma's form could be seen disappearing over the roof tops in the direction of the Uchan. From a fence top Cologne watched in puzzled amazement at the display and hurried back to check her scrolls and books of lore. If she was right having son-in-law as a member of the tribe would be more beneficial then she thought and if they couldn't have him then item around his neck would do just as well.

Ukyou lay on her bed crying softly. How dare that jerk keep such a thing secret from her, she was his fiancé after all and if you couldn't confide in your fiancé who could you? She heard a knocking on her window and looked over to see Ranma hanging from the eves.

"Ukyou, I need to talk to you."

"Do you need to talk to me or does Yami need to talk to me?" Ranma winced at the barb.

"Please Uchan, "I" need to talk to you." Ukyou opened up the window and sat down waiting.

"Don't bother explaining, I saw all of your memories so just tell me why you didn't tell me sooner." Ranma sat next to her on her bed and sighed.

"It wouldn't have been safe for you to know. There are a lot of people that would like to get at Yami and his puzzle. The incident with Burkera today was just a small example. There's going to be a lot more people coming after him and I don't want you hurt. " Ukyou calmed down a little but another question popped into her mind.

"Alright I'll forgive you for that but what about before Yami came. You thought of me as just a friend or a free meal. The least you could have done is tell me you weren't interested instead of stringing me along for a whole year. But no, you were afraid of losing another free meal ticket just like your father." Ranma winced, that was hitting below the belt. He slowly put his hands on Ukyou's shoulders and brought his face closer to hers.

"I'm sorry Ukyou; ever since I met Yami I've realized that I've been a real jackass." He brought his face right up to hers and kissed her right on the lips much to her surprise.

"Do you forgive me?"

She stared at him for a few seconds.

"That has got to be the cheesiest apology I've ever heard." Ranma sagged until Ukyou wrapped her arms around him and pulled him on top of her.

"I like cheese."

Thirty minuets later Ranma shakily walked up the steps of his home with a big grin on his face. Nodoka ran up to meet him in the hallway and hugged him.

"You have lipstick on your face. Oh my son is so manly! I'm so happy!" Ranma froze with shock.

"Mom it's not what you think!"

"I'm not disappointed in you Ranma, I know that young men your age are just bursting with hormones and eventually you lose control. At least you have someone that loves you like Ukyou and can help you satisfy those needs." Ranma and Yami got the worst case of the willies they had ever had at that statement.

"Mom I swear we just kissed and I was a perfect gentleman. Ukyou and I want to take our relationship seriously and not hurry it along to fast." Nodoka visibly sagged at this and sighed.

"Well if that's what you truly think is best for you then go right ahead. By the way, this came for you today Ranma from Industrial illusions." Ranma looked at the package quizzically.

"You mean the company that created Duel monsters?"

"Yes, it's even signed by Maximillion Pegasus himself so it must be important. Why don't you open it?" Ranma didn't need to be told twice and quickly opened the top to reveal a glove, video tape, and two pieces of metal shaped like stars. Not finding any notes or letters explaining the boxes contents Ranma inserted the tape into the VCR and hit play. The picture of a man with long white hair covering the left side of his face and wearing a red suit smiling mysteriously came on the screen.

"Greetings Ranma Boy, I am Maximillion Pegasus." All of a sudden the room became dark and shadowy. Ranma swung around to make sure his mother was okay but she seemed to be completely frozen.

"And I have something important to talk to you about."

Authors Notes

First of all as far as I know there is no Crimson Amazon of the East fusion card, but there are fusion effects cards (Alligator Sword Dragon, Last Warrior of Another Planet) so don't try to tell me otherwise. I've decided to abandon my plan of only updating on Saturday since I feel that it is rushing my work and my new job won't allow me to be home much on Saturday. I won't make any more updates for the rest of the week since I have a term paper due soon and I need to finish and edit it but I will try to post a new story next week around Monday or Wednesday but we'll just have to see. And if any of you Akane/Ranma readers out there are feeling sick right about now all I can say is I warned you.
