Its been a while since we've joined the academy, mostly thanks to Garu on that part…

From what I can tell from people so far, is that many of them are competitive jerks with nothing better to do with their free time than to ruin this school for the rest of us.

Though I do have to admit, there were some pretty fun parts to the year already, like with Garu facing that cooking duelist.

But then there were the jerks, like that Vic guy and Seika coming here.

Speaking of jerks, I'm facing one right now…only thing is, he's pretty good at a fighting style that Master Yoh only told me about.

And it's a weird style at that…

Chapter 16: A Fighter's Duel

Enter the Densuiken

/-/---/-/-//-/-/-/

"Now then, Shinato (3300/3000)! Attack his monster!"

In the night's sky erupted a large cloud of dust flowing from the obvious attack launched from the large blue angelic form with many golden wings. Behind the deity stood none other than Terri. (TLP: 950)

Raising her hand towards her opponent, Terri just smirked and laughed. "Ha! How do you like me now?"

Her opponent just stood up cracking his neck, as though he was unfazed by Terri's latest attack. "…You done yet?" (DLP: 2400)

"Um…I guess…" Terri replied watching her weird opponent draw his next card. 'Man this guy's weird, and so is his strategy…'

"Well, I'd love to say this has been fun," The duelist replied sliding two the cards from his hand into his duel disk.

In response to the duelist's actions, two small red bottles appeared in front of Terri and were giving off what appeared to be a sweet aroma. Terri's eyes wandered from them to see the Duelist crouching down on the dreadful spell card that had been plaguing this entire duel.

"…But it hasn't…" The weird duelist replied before lifting his arms up into the air and throwing a large object into the night's sky.

When the object fell to the ground, Shinato and the two red bottles shattered. From the remains from the bottles, a red mist floated out around Terri. The mists forced her to her knees and cover her mouth. "…Not again…" (TLP: 0)

"…I hope I proved my point lassie," The duelist said walking over towards Terri. "And I hope you haven't forgotten about our little deal…"

-/-/-/-//-/--//-/--/-/-/

"…And then I activated this trap card and took out that Guardian!" Garu finished up waving his arms in the air. "That Havoc guy had no idea what was coming to him!"

Zeff just nodded in reply while writing down on his notebook. "So, this duel took place while everyone else was at that beach party?"

"Yeah…though Kara was with me at the time," Garu replied rubbing his chin. "Wait, you don't believe me do you?"

"Not in the least bit…" Zeff chuckled while continuing to write his paper.

Trying to hold onto the anger that was now bubbling up inside of him, Garu took a deep breath and glared at Zeff. "And why is it so unbelievable? I even have someone there to watch it…"

"Yeah, but come on, a person using guardians? You'd have to be practically be a pro to accomplish with that kind of deck," Zeff explained turning towards his angered friend. "And then the guy gets pulled out to sea…by a huge fish, that's the second most ridiculous I've heard today…"

Garu just raised an eyebrow. "And what was the first?"

Smirking towards his companion, Zeff just turned back to his paper. "I'll tell ya later, sides, shouldn't you get working on this paper here?"

"…Uh oh," Garu chuckled before he quickly grabbed the nearest mechanical pencil and began to write on the paper that was before him.

/--//---/-/-//-/-

With his footsteps making small noise on the outside of the school, Vic just smiled at the sight of the building. 'I was robbed before…of my glory…now I'm taking it back with vengeance.'

"S'cuse me, but, y'all wouldn't happen to be that Vanhemer dude now would ya?"

Narrowing his eyesight, Vic spun on his foot to see a weird looking guy leaning up a tree with his eyes closed. From where he was standing, Vic could tell that the guy was about his age with a slight tan and greasy slicked back hair, his face looked like he was in a slap fight with someone earlier.

However, compared to his interest in clothes, Vic was wondering who the hell was this guy. The guy's clothing consisted of a baggy red overcoat where he kept his left arm resting on the left side over his coat's black belt. The baggy gray pants and a skintight dark blue shirt showed off his skinny body. And a pair of small sunglasses covered over his eyes.

But the weirdest thing about his ensemble was a large gourd tied around his belt, on the gourd was the word sake written on it in kanji. With a loud yawn the guy slowly opened his eyes towards Vic. "So…um, are you that Vanhemer dude that Zaku asked me to find here?"

"I take it that you're the distraction," Vic commented turning his head. "I was told that you'd be here within two days, but it's been a full week. I've had to delay the plans since you were late."

"Relax man, I was busy doing the distraction during that time," the guy replied walking towards Vic. "Sides…its impolite to yell at someone, especially when you don't even know their name."

"I'll give ya that much," Vic scoffed to the side noticing the guy was right in front of him. "Whatever, you got a name? Or should I just call you weirdo?"

"It's really annoying," the duelist replied raising his hand. "My father called me Densui…"

A silent breeze blew between Vic and Densui as Vic's right eyebrow began to rise up on his forehead. "Your name is…dead drunk?"

"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Densui asked scratching the back of his head.

"Never mind that," Vic groaned slapping his forehead. "You said that you were creating a distraction already…what could you have possibly done?"

"Uh, let me think for a second on that one…" Densui requested scratching his chin while closing his eyes.

Vic just closed his eyes and began to grow impatient with each passing second. "You mind thinking about that when we get to my dorm? I've got a job for you duel mercenary."

"I told you my name was Densui!"

-/-//--/----//-

Later that afternoon, the warm breeze swept across the island as Garu, Yae and Zeff slowly walked to the Slifer Red dorms. Zeff was walking backwards in front of Garu and Yae with a huge grin on his face. "Another day down the drain!"

"Someone's cheery today," Yae commented while a sweat drop appeared on the back of her head.

"And why not on such a lovely day?" Zeff asked before taking in a large deep breath of the air. "Not a cloud in the sky, and the birds are chirping…"

"I knew something was different, where's Rox?" Garu questioned joining the conversation.

Zeff just stopped in the middle of the trail and looked down towards his feet. "Well, he's kind of gotten a little touch of sickness, so I let him sleep in my bed today…"

"Anyway, you two hear the rumors?"

Garu and Yae just stopped and looked at each other in confusion. After a few seconds of silence, the two turned towards Zeff and said at the same time. "No…"

A little taken back, Zeff covered his good eye and sighed loudly before looking back at his fellow Slifer Reds. "You haven't heard about the rumors of the Drunken Duelist?"

Yae's eyes went a little dull at the words Drunken Duelist. "…You're kidding right?"

"Nope, some guy is going around at night dueling any duelists who tread during after curfew," Zeff explained talking in a spooky voice trying to make his story a little spookier apparently. "If he wins, he takes your deck away and runs off into the night…and in the last week he's claimed ten victories, two from the same person…"

"Who'd be dumb enough to try to face him twice?" Garu asked raising an eyebrow.

Shrugging his shoulder, Zeff just sighed. "Dunno, but I heard that a tenacious girl from Ra yellow wanted to prove this guy otherwise. Apparently the Drunken Duelist commented about her dueling…"

"This conversation is going no where fast," Yae sighed before continuing on past Garu and Zeff. "If you two need me, I'll be in the dorm room getting some real work done."

"No offense Zeff, but compared to my story, that seems really far fetched," Garu commented with a smirk. "At least I've got a witness with me at the time."

"But nine people have faced that Drunken duelist so far and each of them had lost," Zeff replied before lowering his head. "Sides, Taylor was one of the duelists who lost a duel to him…"

"What was she doing out so late?" Garu asked before a thought popped into his head. "Wait, how do you know that she lost? Did she tell you?"

"Well, sort of," Zeff replied before spinning on his heel and began to walk away. "But now, we must be getting our homework done!"

"Hey get back here!" Garu shouted following his lupine obsessed friend.

/--/-/-/-/-///-

"Damn…who do ya have to kill to get a place like this?" Densui asked plopping himself on the couch in Vic's dorm room in front of the plasma screen. "Classy…"

"You going to talk, or are you going to mooch off my hospitality?" Vic retorted from the computer. His fingers were typing furiously as multiple windows appeared on his screen.

Standing up stretching, Densui just trotted over to Vic and his computer and stared blankly at the screen. "…That what Zaku got ya doing?"

"Yes, and weren't you hired to provide a distraction so that people from the school wouldn't catch on to me?" Vic snorted not turning from the screen.

"Already taken care of!" Densui announced with a goofy grin appearing on his face. "I've been challenging duelists at late night and stealing their decks…they even got me a name here, the Drunken Duelist!"

Since he arrived at the dorm, Vic turned from his computer and stared blankly at Densui's grin. "…Well, that leaves me with two things to think about why you have that name…"

"Look man, I'm here on business, so if you want me to take out someone, then maybe I'll be doing just so," Densui stated leaning in closer to Vic. "Got any punks you want me to take out?"

"First…stay out of my personal space," Vic warned making Densui jump back a few feet. "And second, if you want to take out someone, then take out the Slifer Slacker, Garu Honzou…"

"Garu Honzou…" Densui said to himself as he began making a mental note about getting this Honzou guy. "Okay, but it'll have to be at night…"

"Whatever! Just go!" Vic roared making Densui jump back a few more feet.

Walking towards the door, Densui just looked at Vic from the corner of his eye and said under his breath. "Spoiled little brat…"

"I heard that!"

And with that, Densui rushed from the room at high speed to get away from Vic.

/-/-/--/-/-//-/-

The dusk sun began to gleam through the windows of the familiar trio's dorm room while Garu was moaning about his homework…as usual.

"Now what does history have to dueling?" Garu asked flipping through his history book stopping at the section where he was supposed to read at.

"Stop complaining, that's what you get for dueling instead of getting your homework done," Yae sighed flipping the page in her fighting magazine.

"She's got you there Garu," Zeff sided while grooming Rox on his legs.

"You were the one I was dueling…wait, how come you don't have any homework?" Garu asked turning towards his friend.

"Cause I actually do it during lunch," Zeff admitted with a sly grin on his face.

Garu was just silent as he grimaced and turned back to his book. 'Man, studying is so boring!'

A few minutes passed before Yae stood up from her bed and headed towards the door. "I'm going to get a cup of tea in the cafeteria, I'll be back later…"

After Yae left the room, Garu just slammed his head into the book. "Its…too…boring!"

"Never a dull moment eh, Rox?" Zeff chuckled scratching Rox behind the ears.

//-/-//-/-/--/-/-/-/

Yae sighed before she sipped her tea. The taste filled her mouth, allowing her to savor it before swallowing. "Been a while since I got a good cup of tea…"

Yae wasn't the only one in the cafeteria; Ayame was wiping down some of the tables in the large room. Ayame was currently on break enjoying a cup of tea with Yae. "I know what you mean, with the school work and odd jobs I do, it's hard to relax."

"Yeah, its nice to just get away from the noise," Yae replied before taking another small sip of tea. "Speaking of noise, my roommates were talking about some 'Drunken Duelist' earlier…"

"I heard about that," Ayame stated placing her teacup on the table. "Seems kind of strange why he's called the Drunken Duelist."

"Who goes on the grounds that late anyway?" Yae asked closing her eyes.

"You know what I heard, the guy is a pervert," Ayame commented before lifting her teacup.

"…Great, almost all the guys in this school are perverts and the person who designed this uniforms is one too," Yae sighed along with Ayame. Neither of them noticed that the cafeteria door was beginning to open.

"I dunno, I like the uniforms…"

Yae and Ayame turned towards the door to see a strange guy wearing a red overcoat version of the school uniform with his left arm resting over his black belt. A pair of sunglasses covered his eyes over his large grin.

"Any idea who this joker is?" Yae asked to Ayame.

Densui just sweat dropped at the comment. "Such lovely ladies need the best introduction I can provide…but since its late, I'll just say it. The name's Densui!"

A few moments passed for the name to register to Yae and Ayame.

"…You're named Dead Drunk?" Ayame snickered as the sweat drop grew even more on Densui's head.

'Is it really that uncommon a name?' Densui just shook the thought from his head and walked over towards the two girls. "So…can I get your names?"

"Sorry, but I don't associate with dead drunks," Yae replied causing the sweat drop appear on Densui's head once more.

"Then, can you tell me where I can find some guy…?" Densui asked before looking dumbstruck. 'Crap what was his name again?'

"Some guy?" Ayame asked making Densui rub the back of his head.

"Seriously, I can't remember his name," Densui admitted with a blush on his face. "But…enough about that no name, let me get to know you two!"

Densui just sat down next to Yae at the table, only to be immediately pushed off and onto the ground. "Dang…"

"Look, please leave," Yae sighed as Densui immediately stood up.

"Fine, sides, I doubt you girls could really hold a candle up to me," Densui mocked pushing up his sunglasses.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ayame asked raising an eyebrow at Densui.

"Well, girls are weaker than boys both physically and strategically," Densui explained with a hint of smug in his voice. "It's a fact I just proved through the last week."

Densui turned towards the girls once more only be greeted by demonic eyes and deadly flames poised towards him. 'I love it when the women get mad…'

"And what makes you think that?" Ayame questioned standing up.

"Yeah! What are you a sexist?" Yae growled clenching her hand into a tight fist.

"No, on the contrary! I love girls and know they have strengths and weaknesses!" Densui defended lifting his arms in the air in front of him. "I don't mean disrespect…"

"Let's just leave Ayame," Yae growled standing up.

"Yeah," Ayame replied walking with Yae past Densui.

Moving his head slightly down, Densui just grinned and chuckled slightly. "Nice view…"

With that comment, multiple blood vessels appeared Yae and Ayame's foreheads.

Slowly turning their heads towards Densui, Yae and Ayame glared daggers at the grinning idiot. Yae stomped her foot towards Densui and raised her fist. "Okay, now your just asking for an ass kicking!"

"Come, come, you don't really want to break a nail now do ya?" Densui asked only to make the glaring even worse.

"Apologize before we make you apologize!" Ayame warned as pointing her finger towards Densui.

"Prove me wrong, then I'll apologize," Densui replied before lifting his duel disk in front of his chest. "I don't hit girls, but dueling them is another matter…"

"Then I'll face you," Yae replied holding up a deck of cards. "I just need a duel disk…"

"I'll go get a spare in the back," Ayame replied running past Densui and into the door next to the kitchen.

/-/-/-/-/--//-//-

"Hey Garu? You awake?" Zeff asked looking over his hunched over friend.

Garu's head was resting right on the page of the book he was reading, the facts that his eyes were closed and he was snoring loudly were a dead give away. "Oh well, Rox look after Garu, I'm going to get some chips…"

/--/-/-/-//-/-/

Yae strapped the duel disk to her left arm while watching Densui pulling his resting arm from his coat. 'Where the hell did this guy come from?'

"Ya know, I never caught your name before," Densui stated snapping his deck into his duel disk. "I suppose I could call you sweet cheeks…"

"Its Yae, you sexist…"

Densui in response launched the dual holographic projectors with a smile on his face. "With that out of the way…" (DLP: 4000)

"Bring on the duel!"

"And to prove I'm a gentleman at heart," Densui stated drawing his five cards and fanning them out. "You can go first…"

"How kind…" Yae sighed pulling the sixth card from her deck. (YLP: 4000)

"Beat this guy to the curb Yae!" Ayame shouted throwing her fist into the air.

"You got it!" Yae announced before slapping one card from her hand onto her duel disk. "To kick things off, I'll summon Kung Fu Nyan Nyan (1700/1000)!"

From the ceiling dropped a young woman wearing pink fighter's kimono, with her auburn hair done up in bun-like pigtails, held in place by streamers. The female fighter glared daggers at Densui…who on the other hand…

"WOW! Even your monsters are cute!" Densui laughed looking straight at the Kung Fu monster.

'Okay, this guy is really confusing me…' Yae blinked her eyes before she slid another card from her hand into her duel disk. "I'll wrap up by placing one card face down…"

"Oh joy!" Densui announced flicking the sixth card from his deck into his hand. "Now then…behold the power of Densuiken Dueling!"

"Densuiken?" Ayame questioned with a puzzled look on her face.

Yae turned to Ayame with a determined look in her eyes. "It's a form fighting, otherwise the drunken fist…technique…"

That's when it hit both of the girls, they turned towards Densui and pointed their hands towards him. "You're that Drunken Duelist everyone's been talking about!"

"Well now, I see that you both are more than just a pair of pretty faces…" Densui commented pushing up his sunglasses. "And yes I guess if that's what I'm called, then I am the Drunken Duelist…"

"You're the one who stole those decks?" Ayame questioned narrowing her eyes.

In response, Densui opened up his overcoat to show that multiple decks were snapped into the fabric. "You better believe it cuties…with each victory I took a prize from my opponents…and if they were females, then they just added to the point that men are better at dueling…"

"Not true dude."

Everyone turned towards the door to see Zeff leaning up against the side of door holding onto a small bag of chips. "I know plenty of girls who can kick my butt in dueling…so don't be dragging them down."

"But when compared to a real man like me…" Densui replied lifting a card from his hand. "…Words can't really describe my reasoning…so I'll leave it to my cards! I summon Drunken Tiger (1800/1000)!"

In a cloud of red mist emerged a large tiger wearing a white muscle shirt and baggy pants. Over the beast's eyes was a pair of sunglasses and in the beast's hand was a bottle of what appeared to be sake. The tiger stepped to the side shakily, giving everyone

"Drunken?" Yae questioned raising an eyebrow as Densui slipped another card from his hand into his duel disk.

"I'll place this in the back, and then go on the attack! Attack her Kung Fu girl with drunken Claw!" Densui ordered to receive a sloppy nod from his tiger.

The tiger began to charge on all fours heading straight towards the Kung Fu Nyan Nyan, with a few sloppy steps along the way. And as the Tiger began to take a swipe at the female fighter, she quickly lifted her leg up and slammed a powerful kick into the tiger's torso sending the monster skidding back.

Densui was just confused as his Tiger crouched down on its knees and held onto its chest. "What in the world just happened?"

That's when Densui noticed that Yae's face down card was flipped up showing a kung fu fighter kicking back a boulder. "What's that?"

"My trap card, Disabling Kick! When you attack a monster on my side of the field with less original attack points I can activate this card to negate the attack," Yae explained as the card shattered into pixels. "However, there's another effect. We both take damage times to the level of the attacking monster."

Densui and Yae just grimaced as a small red light surrounded them. When the light died down, Densui just seemed to smirk in delight. "Nice one…but this duel is still on…" (DLP: 3600) (YLP: 3600)

"So…how'd this duel get started?" Zeff asked before putting a chip in his mouth.

"This pervert just asked for it," Ayame replied watching Yae draw her next card.

"…Okay…" Zeff sighed before putting more chips in his mouth.

"Draw! And now I activate the special ability of my Kung Fu Nyan Nyan! If she didn't attack last turn, then she gains three hundred attack points (1700/1000 + 300)!" Yae announced while her Kung Fu monster began to meditate increasing her strength. "And now, I'll go on the attack with her! Give that tiger another taste of your foot!"

With a quick leap in the air, the Kung Fu Nyan Nyan jumped from the ceiling and slammed her heel right in the middle of the Drunken Tiger's head. The force sent the Tiger straight to the ground shattering the monster.

The only thing left of the monster was its bottle of sake. (DLP: 3400)

"My tiger may have been given a double dosage of your monster's foot, but its time for your fighter to have a taste from my tiger! Activate trap card!" Densui announced lifting his arm over his face down card.

The trap card raised itself to reveal a large mug of alcohol overflowing by having to many types being poured into it.

The card glowed a deep red that engulfed the Drunken Tiger's sake bottle and it flew directly into the Kung Fu Nyan Nyan's hands. "In case your wondering it's a little continuous trap card called Overflowing Alcohol! It can only be activated when a monster with 'Drunken' in the card's name is destroyed.

"I then equip my trap to one monster on the field responsible for the attack and your monster loses two hundred attack points times the level of your monster."

Yae watched as the Kung Fu Nyan Nyan took a small sip of the bottle and immediately a red line appeared over her face and her eyes dulled (2000/1000 – 800/0). "What the?"

"Also, if your monster happens to be destroyed as a result of a certain card, then I get to draw a new card," Densui finished explaining while looking at the Kung Fu Nyan Nyan fall to the ground. "Seems someone can't handle hard liquor…"

"Quiet you," Yae snorted as she looked at her hand. 'I don't have any other monsters with me now…so I'll just have to stall.'

Taking another card from her hand, Yae slid it behind her now drunken fighter. "I'll end my turn with a face down card."

Densui just closed his eyes and seemed to hum a song with no real tune or beat. Everyone just stared blankly at him as he then began to whistle.

"Hello? It's your turn!" Yae announced bringing Densui back from his music.

"Sorry," Densui said before looking at his next card. 'About time I drew this thing…'

"Alright lassie, I'll now make things more interesting by summoning Drunken Angel (1800/1000)!"

In a flurry of feathers, a new monster appeared in front of Densui, this time it was an angel wearing a white suit and black hat over his blonde hair. In his hands was a large bottle of wine.

Unlike the Drunken Tiger, the angel didn't seem to be drunk yet. He even seemed quite a gentleman cause he bowed and took his hat off to reveal the long blonde hair he was hiding.

"Another drunken monster?" Ayame questioned as the Drunken angel stood up and place his hat back on his head.

"I've seen on TV a guy who played a deck like this," Zeff commented looking at the monster. "I think his name was Kumazou Maede…or something like that. There was one key card to his deck…but I can't remember what it was…"

"Next up I'll play a continuous spell card called One More Sake!" Densui announced as a large red bottle appeared before the Drunken angel.

"And what can that thing do?" Yae asked as Densui lifted the card that he had drawn.

"Nothing now, but when play correctly," Densui replied as he fitted his next card into his duel disk. "Like this! I play the continuous spell card Flipping the Table!"

The ground began to shake as a large wooden table appeared under Yae and Densui's field. "And now! I'll activate its effect!"

Densui got under the table on his side and began to lift it as if he was actually lifting a table. With a mighty throw the table and everything on the field was thrown into the air before crashing to the ground causing a large explosion.

"What the?" Yae commented as the table landed in front of her.

Densui just laughed as he looked upwards. "What a great card! It clears the field! Oh and by the way, since your monster was destroyed by Flipping the Table I get one new card!"

With a small click a card floated into his hand.

"Then, my One More Sake comes into play, inflicting five hundred points of damage to you when destroyed."

A red mist filled the air in front of Yae causing her to cough until it dissipated. (YLP: 3100)

Then something caught Zeff's eyes. "Hey wait a minute! Isn't that Drunken Angel supposed to be gone?"

As the angel floated down, he seemed a lot more relaxed and landed on his knees instead of his feet. Densui just laughed at the comment. "Nope! Drunken Angel is immune to my table's effect…and speaking of my angel…attack the girl directly!"

Noticing that his master gave him an order, the Drunken Angel nodded before turning to Yae. He quickly spun on his foot and shot a powerful breath of alcohol that made Yae stumble backwards. "Man that reeks!" (YLP: 1300)

"And to wrap up my turn, I'll place a card face down," Densui replied as the face down card appeared behind the celebrating Drunken Angel. "I'm still waiting for you to show me what you can do…lassie."

"For the last time, its Yae!" Yae shouted pulling her next card. 'I think I've got something I can use…'

"I may not be the greatest duelist, but I'm skilled enough to be a dead drunk like you," Yae commented slapping her next card onto her duel disk. "So I summon Kung Fu Kid (1300/1200)!"

A blue form spun from behind Yae and then landed in front of her showing off a younger boy with dark blue wavy hair. His blue gi was etched in with a red dragon breathing red fangs. Looking at the Drunken angel, the kid just went into a fighting pose.

"Next, I'll place two cards face down and end my turn," Yae finished with the two vertical cards appearing behind her newest fighter.

Densui just laughed loudly at Yae's move and the Drunken Angel joined in with him. "You've got to be kidding me! Perhaps you forgot what my table is capable of doing? With one flip, this duel will be done!"

"Then by all means…go ahead…" Yae replied to get a weird look from Densui as he drew his next card.

"Be my pleasure," Densui replied looking at his next card. "I'll be flipping the table right now!"

Once again, Densui grabbed the table from underneath and launched it spinning into the air before it crashed down causing a large amount of dust to arise. "And since you're defenseless…I'll end this! Drunken Angel attack!"

The Drunken Angel quickly flew through the smoke, but a few seconds later the drunk was launched out of the smoke and flew directly into Densui sending him to the ground. A few seconds later, the angel shattered. "W-What just happened here?" (DLP: 3400)

The smoke began to clear while Densui was standing up. In front of him he could see that the Kung Fu Kid was standing in front of Yae with his leg raised for a kick.

"How is that monster still here?" Densui asked as the Kung Fu Kid lowered his leg.

"Cause, his special ability makes him so he can't destroyed by spell cards that don't specifically designate him," Yae explained before she reached into her graveyard and pulled out two cards. "And as for how your angel was destroyed, my two face down cards are responsible for that. One was Rush Recklessly which raised my fighter's attack."

"And the other?" Densui asked as a card popped out of Yae's deck.

"It was called Instant Challenge," Yae answered showing a card that she drew. "And when its destroyed I can take any monster with 'Taijitsu', 'Kung Fu' or Fighter in the card's name and add it to my hand."

"Oh yeah, well, your not the only one with a card effect, my face down card was called Another Round," Densui countered as a card flew from his deck and into his hand. "And here's how it works, when its destroyed, I can draw one new card."

Grimacing, Densui just slid the card into his disk and sighed. "And all I can be doing now is setting this card…"

"I don't get it, why didn't he summon a monster?" Ayame asked watching Yae draw her next card.

"He couldn't," Zeff explained. "Due to the effect of the table, once he uses it he can't summon this turn."

"Nice…" Ayame stated.

"Now then, I summon Tiger Taijitsu Master (1600/1200)!" Yae announced, as the tiger stripped fighter appeared that before her narrowed her eyes towards Densui, the next instant a card flew from her deck and into her hand. "And when she's brought out I can take one spell card from my deck with Taijitsu in the card's name."

"I'll chain your monster's effect with my spell card," Densui announced as his face down card disappeared leaving four multi-colored goats. "Meet my Scapegoats (0/0 x 4)!"

"Not going to make a difference, cause I play the spell card Taijitsu Art – Lotus Technique!" Yae announced as her spell card appeared showing off a lupine Taijitsu Master focusing his energy around his body, the same energy that engulfed both of her monsters. "It increases the attack all monsters on my side of the field with 'Taijitsu', Kung Fu or Monk by five hundred points."

Densui just laughed as both of Yae's monsters (1600/1200 + 500/0) (1300/1200 + 500/0) began to meditate to focus their minds. "A lot that's going to do ya, I've still got my four defense monsters."

"Then it's a good thing I've got this…Go Taijitsu Art – Breaking Fist!" Yae announced as the spell card materialized in front of her.

The spell card displayed the Kung Fu Kid smashing multiple bricks with his bare hands. "And here's how it works, for one turn, my monsters with Taijitsu and Kung Fu in their names get to inflict damage to you through defense mode!"

Densui stepped back a little. 'No! With those attack points combined…I'll lose…To a Girl!'

"Now then, Kung Fu Kid and Tiger Taijitsu Master! Attack two of the tokens!" Yae announced as both of her fighter monsters jumped into the air.

Nodding to each other in mid air, the Kung Fu Kid and the Tiger Taijitsu Master both dived directly towards the tokens before slamming their feet into the sheep, forcing the tokens to shatter backwards into Densui.

Ducking down at the last minute, Densui covered his head as his table was broken. "I lost…I lost to a girl?" (DLP: 0)

Both of Yae's monsters began to fade as Yae lowered her head for a sigh. "If I didn't draw Kung Fu Kid…."

"Way to go Yae!" Ayame shouted as Zeff smiled.

Zeff's eyes turned towards Densui who was currently taking his overcoat off. "So this guy's the Drunken Duelist…well, we better take him to Principal Daigo…"

"I don't think so," Densui said jumping to his legs. Reaching for the gourd attached to his belt, he raised the container to his mouth, and pulled out the cork with his mouth. "You may have gotten lucky this time…"

Densui threw his overcoat into the air and began to drink the contents of the gourd. When the coat was halfway over to Yae, Densui spat out all of the liquid he had in his mouth.

The liquid seemed to transform in a powerful white mist that seemed to engulf the entire room. The mist smelled exactly like…

"Alcohol?" Zeff questioned raising his hand to his mouth. "Don't breathe it in!"

"…But the next time we meet, everyone will fall to my Densuiken Dueling technique! Remember my name! Densui Iwa!"

When the weird alcoholic mist dissipated, Densui was gone, but his overcoat with the decks was now on the floor. Zeff walked over to the coat and lifted it up. "Better get these decks back to Daigo in the morning…"

"Maybe we'll get a chance to go to the Ra Dorms," Ayame thought out loud as Yae stared at the coat.

Yae however was thinking about some entirely different. 'That last illusion…that was a Genjitsu. Could Densui know how to perform the ninja ways? I better tell Takashi this later…'

Meanwhile…

"…No worries! The great ninja hero Garu is here!" Garu announced while still having his head lying on the book with some drool dripping from his mouth. "…Sure I'll have the ramen as a reward…"

Vic just looked outside his window to see Densui running from the Slifer Red dorm towards the docks. His red overcoat was nowhere to be seen.

Sighing loudly Vic closed the large curtains in front of him. "He must have failed…"

"No matter, thanks to Densui, I've finished transferring all the necessary documents to Mr. Legendz…"

Vic's computer screen was flashing. 'E -mail successfully sent.'

"Soon I'll be the best!"
