Fireworks exploded to end the first part of the Battle City Finals. Looking at his watch, Atem said. "Tristan, we better get back."
Tristan nodded before they started to walk back to the middle of Downtown.
"Atem, I am glad you and Anzu are together. You seem happier." Tristan stated.
"I feel happier." He replied. "Anzu is unlike anyone I have ever met and I love her."
Tristan grinned. "So did you two do it already?"
Atem knew he what he was referring to but didn't want to discuss that topic.
"I am not going to disclose what Anzu and I have done behind close doors." Atem said.
"Come on Atem, I am you're best friend. Whatever you say will stay between us."
"Fine. We have done it already."
"Was she any good?" He wanted to press on.
Anzu heard the fireworks and said to Joey, "It's time to meet the guys."
"Alright." Joey said happily. He had just finished defeating Weevil, the regional champ, and receive the final locater card.
"Joey, you were awesome. I know you and Atem will kick butt in the finals."
"Thanks Anzu, it means a lot. If I can beat Kaiba's butt, I will be the happiest person alive."
Anzu laughed. "You hate him that much."
"Yes! He thinks just because he owns a duelling company that he deserves to be the King of Games instead of Atem."
Anzu blushed at the sound of his name. She didn't know why, after all they have been going out for a few days now. Joey saw her face and said. "Anzu since the first day of school you have made Atem happier. I can tell you are different from the other girls and he loves you."
"I love him too. It's only been ten days since we met but I know Atem is the one for me." Anzu responded.
"I am glad. You two belong together." Joey said. Anzu smiled.
'I am happy our family and friends accept our relationship.' She thought.
Meeting up with Atem and Tristan, they found out were the next location of the tournament is been held.
The next day, the gang met at the Domino Pier. Walking to the specific location they saw two hooded males, Mai Valentine, Bakura, Vivian Wong and Kaiba. Kaiba was standing beside Mokuba, his brother and Roland, his chief of security.
Atem and Joey showed their locater cards before Kaiba explained.
"Okay, you geeks! Two helicopters should be coming here any moment to transport us to Kaiba Crop Island. There we will have the finals and decide the winner of the Battle City Tournament!" Finishing his very sweet speech, two black helicopters, flew towards the pier.
"Master Marik, that boy. He is the chosen one." Odion pointed out.
"I see that you fool!" Marik hissed as he watched Atem talk to Anzu. "I just hope Bakura keeps up his end of the deal."
Anzu moved closer to Atem and whispered."Atem, I have a bad feeling about the two hooded guys and the white hair one."
"Me too. I think we should keep up our defensive whenever we are around them." Atem replied. Looking at how beautiful Anzu looked he took her hand and bring her closer to him. Hugging her waist he whispered in her ear."You look beautiful as always."
Anzu hugged his neck and clashed her lips to his. "I love you." Anzu said as they parted. Even though the relationship was still young, saying I love you felt natural to the both of them.
"I love you too, so much and no matter what that would never change."
Anzu looked into his eyes and was about to lean up for another kiss, when Vivian parted them. She pulled Anzu from Atem's grip and cling herself onto him.
Anzu would have fallen onto the ground if Joey and Tristan hadn't caught her. Atem pushed Vivian off him and rushed to Anzu.
Vivian grabbed Atem's hand to stop him and said, "Atem, baby. Don't you want me? After all I am much prettier than that person over there." Vivian pointed to Anzu.
Anzu smirked; she knew that Atem loved her and no matter what he would never cheat on her especially with some cheap tramp like Vivian.
Removing his hand from Vivian's grasp Atem said, "I don't want you. I love Anzu, more than anything." Walking over to her, he hugged her waist and gave her a passionate kiss. Parting he said. "Anzu, are you alright?"
"I am fine." Anzu said.
The helicopters landed and everyone started to board. Vivian looked at Anzu with a jealous expression.
'Atem Mutou, you will be mine.' She thought.
Boarding, the helicopters they took off.
After twenty minutes they saw an island with a huge mansion and stadium on it.
"Wow! This is some place." Joey said. "It will be prefect to kick Kaiba's butt."
"Maybe in your dreams, Joey." Tristan said. "You will never defeat Kaiba."
"What a friend you turned out to be." He said sarcastically.
"I know." Tristan grinned.
"Atem, do you think we should tell them what Isis said?" Anzu asked.
"No, not yet. We will have to find out who the evil one is."
Anzu nodded. Landing everyone existed before walking inside the mansion and into a room. It had a large flat screen and a huge stage in front of it.
Kaiba made his way to the stage and said, "The finals will start tomorrow and each finalist name will be randomly selected. Now everyone one including our unwanted guest…" Kaiba looked to Anzu and Tristan. "…will be given a room till the finals are over. See you losers tomorrow at 0800!" Kaiba left the room with Mokuba and Roland following behind him.
"How charming…" Mai said as she walked over to Atem. "Atem Mutou, I know you may be the King of Games for now but by the end of this tournament I will defeat you and become famous."
"In your dreams honey!" Vivian butted in. "I will be the one to defeat Atem."
"Atem, can we go to our room now?" Anzu whispered as the two women argued.
"Our room? I like the sound of that." Atem whispered back. Holding her hand, he said. "Joey, good luck tomorrow and good night everyone."
With that they left.
"Oh, man. Atem is getting lucky tonight!" Joey and Tristan pouted. "Unlike us!"
Atem used the key card Kaiba had given everyone on the ride over. The door opened to reveal a very large bedroom, a king size bed positioned in the centre, mini bar and a flat screen television with French doors leading to a balcony.
Closing the door, Atem turned to Anzu and pressed his lips onto hers.
Anzu wanted more than anything for him to continue but the tournament had to come first for now. "Atem, shouldn't you be preparing your deck?"
"I already did," He informed her as he planted kisses onto her neck. To both of them it felt right.
It was now a half past midnight. Atem and Anzu breathed heavily as they collapsed onto the bed. Atem had used the sheet to cover them before Anzu rested her head on his chest. It didn't matter that their clothes were scattered everywhere and hair a mess. All that matter was that they were together and happy.
Kissing each other good night they drifted off to sleep.
Dream
Yami stood in front of his royal court and Téa; he held his hand up and said, "I call forth the Winged Dragon of Ra and Obelisk, the Tormentor!" The two creatures appeared beside Slifer, the Sky Dragon.
Taking Karim's scale, Yami fuse the three god cards together to form The Creator of Light.
End Dream.
Atem woke up and thought, 'That how I am going to defeat this great evil. I have to fusing the god cards. How am I going to get the others?'
"Don't worry Atem, you will get them. I have faith in you." Anzu yawned.
"How did you know what I was thinking?"
"I don't know." Anzu opened her eyes. "I guess we have telepathy or something like that."
Atem took her hand and gave it a kiss. "We are connected." He smiled.
"I guess so." Anzu returned the smile. "Now remember what Isis said? You will know what to do when the time comes. You are the best duellist in the world and I have confidence that we will find a way through this together, along with the help of Joey and Tristan."
Atem grinned, "Thank you, I need that." Closing their eyes they went back to sleep dreaming of each other.
"Atem by this time next week we will be together." Vivian said. Looking at a scrapbook full of pictures of Atem, "I know that Anzu girl has hypnotised you but I will break her spell and you will be making love to me instead of that tramp!"
Vivian had overheard the couple's actives and was outraged. "Anzu, I will kill you if it's the last thing I do." She hissed.
