Chapter 6: Rematches

Duke's Announcement: Well everyone tomorrow is the day you've been waiting for! Yugi Muto against Seto Kaiba! See you there!

Kaiba shuts off his TV.

"Does he have to make so obvious he wants Yugi to win." Kaiba muttered.

At the game shop:

(He seemed a little too excited) Yugi commented.

[Yes. And don't think Kaiba would appreciate being billed second] Yami Yugi added.

At Arena:

"Ladies and Gentleman and Wheeler" Duke announces.

Joey scowls. Tristan roles his eyes holds him back before he can leap at Duke.

"The match you've been waiting for: Yugi Moto vs. Seto Kaiba" Duke yells.

The crowd erupts in wild cheering. Kaiba grits his teeth at being mentioned second again.

"Oh, one more thing." Duke smiles "The card you give to your opponent cannot be one you won in this tournament. Now let the duel begin!"

Kaiba face faults. While he had no doubt he'd beat Yugi this time, he'd thought least be able to get rid of that damn Kuriboh. Mokuba realizes what his brother is thinking and smirks happily. The pharaoh roles is eyes at the wordless argument the brothers seem to be having.

"Let's just duel" Kaiba says.

Atem nods and they begin.

Yami Yugi: 4000

Kaiba: 4000

45 minutes later:

Yami Yugi: 200

Kaiba: 1000

Kaiba has a Blue Eyes out.. Yugi has Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight out, its his turn. The are no face down cards.

"What ever your planning, its no enough" Kaiba taunts.

"Say what you want, I believe in my deck." Yami Yugi responds. He draws and smiles. "I sacrifice Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight to play Buster Blader."

"Crud" Kaiba curses. He has three dragons in his graveyard and one on the field.

Buster Blader (4600/2300) destroys Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Yami Yugi wins.

"Hump" Kaiba grunts. He gives the pharaoh Hitosu-Me Giant.

Yugi sweat drops and walks off.

The Next Week:

Duke's Announcement: Well everyone. It's that time again. Tomorrow's duel will be Mai Valentine vs. Tea Gardner. See you there.

At Yugi's:

Yami Yugi and Tea are sitting on a couch. Tea shuts off the TV.

"Are you…." Atem starts.

"I'm fine. I know she probably won't go easy on me this time. I know things aren't in my favor. But I'll be fine as long as you all are by my side." Tea assures him.

Atem nods.

Next Day: Central Arena:

"All right everyone" Duke announces "Let the duel begin."

Mai: 4000

Tea: 4000

"Before this starts, I'm sorry" Mai starts, then gives Tea a look when she tries to interrupt. She continues "You guys tried your best and ultimately freed me from Marik. I know I'm not the most open person…and."

"You've been wanted to talk to Joey but been too afraid." Tea guessed.

"Yes, the way I acted…." Mai starts.

"Yo Mai!" Joey yells "It's fine." Mai looks shocked, Joey continues. "I…It's finxe ok." He smiles at her and she smiles back.

The duel begins.

Twenty Minutes Later:

Mai: 900

Tea: 200

Tea has a trap face down and no monsters. Mai has Harpie's Pet Dragon out. Mai uses Harpie's Featherduster. Her dragon attacks and she wins.

"You're getting better." Mai complements Tea.

Tea smiles and hands Mai Shining Friendship.

Mai smiles back "Coming from you this is the most valuable card I could receive." Mai heads out with Yugi's group to make up for lost time.

Next Time: Emotions run high as Joey and Serenity face off.
