"First off we have Akashi Minume." The announcer says and the girl walks onto the stage in basically an outfit that covers only her private areas and her feet.
Immediately Duke's nose bursts with blood, while Honda, Seto and the yamis scrunch up their faces in disgust, and Mariku even going so far as to cover Marik's eyes from the impending doom that came from the horrific show they were being forced to watch.
Soon the music ended, however, no one immediately opened their eyes after that. Nope, they all waited until they heard. "Contestant number two, Yugi Mutou." That is when they opened their eyes and smiled, well for Bakura and Mariku smirked, at the cute figure that was Yugi.
Yugi giggles softly as she started putting together a possible at break neck speed. The school watched in amazement as the girl assembled the puzzle flawlessly. In less than a minute the girl had completely assembled the puzzle. She did that with about four other puzzles as the entire school watched in amazement. The girl was completely done in less than three minutes.
She finally pulls out a puzzle, and eyes go wide as they look at the projector above head. The puzzle is a legendary one million piece puzzle. These are the types of puzzles that people do in major competitions, and here Yugo was doing it as though it was nothing.
Yugi removes the pieces from the puzzle and stares at them on the ground, the entire school amazed, and waiting for him to start, and within a moment the girls hands move at break neck speeds. The entire school watched amazed as slowly the picture came together, and in the end, when the puzzle was complete, there was a picture of Yugi in a penguin costume winking at the crowd.
Many guys either had nosebleeds, or fainted from loss of blood. There were then the tons of girls who were basically fangirling over how cute Yugi was. Yami was smiling proudly at how his hikari had finished the puzzle, Seto looked straight up flabbergasted, Bakura and Mariku looked bored out of their minds, and well, Marik and Joey aren't paying attention., neither of them having had the attention span to really watch the entire time, nope instead they were talking animatedly between the themselves.
"And now so that we can all go home soon, we have the last contestant, Ryou Bakura." The announcer says, forgetting any respect for the contestants.
The music goes on, but no one takes the stage. The music plays for a couple of seconds before a girl runs out onto the stage and does a perfect Ariel (cartwheel with no arms). Eyes went wide as guys realized just how talented the girl was, and just how likely it would be that they would get a flash of her underwear.
Eyes went even wider when the overhead went on again, and they saw the feet shaped paint marks on a large piece of paper. Was this going to be some form of art? Wouldn't it be hard to do art with different paint colors when you were doing flips.
Eyes were glued to the girl as she did her gymnastics. Just by watching her they knew she was nowhere near as good, however, Yugi was probably almost professional Olympics level while Ryou would only ever compete at a state level, however, for those who were watching the picture form, via the overhead, they were able to see an intricate picture come out of Santa Claus holding a small girl on his lap.
It soon ended and the camera zoomed in on the picture, casing many people's eyes to go wide. Now, for deciding the winner, well it really decided on how you looked at it. If you were the type of person who just wanted something erotic, then you would say that Minume won two of those three rounds, thus making her the winner. If you were rooting for someone with skill, then the winner was quite obviously Yugi, and on top of that the girl is downright adorable. In that case, she won two of three rounds (the second round having nothing to do with skill). Now, if you looked at this competition based off of talent, then it was quite obvious that Ryou won two of the three contests, (in many eyes she won all three, but that second one has nothing to do with talent).
Behind the stage Ryou was out of breath, basically being dragged back to her changing room by Yugi, the girl being out of breath, and crying over how messy her picture was, (even though only people with some actual art talent could recreate it).
"I messed up, oh dear, I will never be an artist!" Ryou whines and Yugi rolls her eyes.
"Ryou, you are too much of a perfectionist. Your painting is amazing. I mean you even did shading. Just shut up about your complaining, I mean I don't know anyone who could have done that better." Yugi explains, trying to console her friend without just saying 'shut the eff up, you could be a professional artist if you wanted to.'
"Bakura can." Ryou basically deadpans, and Yugi turns and looks at the girl, one eye raised.
"Bakura?" Yugi asks incredulously, quite obviously surprised that the yami had any artistic talent.
"Yeah, he's very good with his hands." Ryou explains, and Yugi looks at her with large eyes. Ryou looks back at Yugi, a questioning look in her emerald eyes. Yugi giggles as an evil though crosses her mind.
"Ryou, get off of your lazy ass and get changed back into your clothes, we're going to the arcade after this." Yugi explains and the girl nods, huffing over being called lazy.
Yugi then makes her way to her changing room and quickly changes into her normal cloths before turning and making her way towards the group of friends who were standing there talking amongst themselves.
"Hey guys," Yugi says, her friends turning to look at her.
"Aibou!" Yami exclaims turning and hugging the smaller girl to his chest. "You were amazing!" He says, basically jumping up and down with joy.
"Yami!" Yugi gasps, somewhat surprised and somewhat embarrassed by her yamis public display of affection.
Bakura gives a demeaning laugh and smirks at the small girl who is now being twirled around mercilessly by her yami. Yugi pouts at him, and this time Bakura gives a hearty laugh, one that portrays some actual happiness and entertainment, and not that harsh crude type of entertainment, the nice playful kind that you get to have with close friends.
Yami finally puts his hikari down and smiles at him. "I am really proud of you Aibou." Yami says, smiling proudly.
Bakura snickers. "Wow Pharaoh, the humble one aren't we. The kid was alright, could've done better, coulda done worse." Bakura says, simply shrugging his shoulders. "The Pharaoh is just in love with you." Bakura continues with a smirk, and that's when an evil smirk crosses across Yugi's face. Two pairs of eyes go wide, not knowing that a hikari could hold such an evil smile on her face, well, Marik technically isn't a hikari.
"Well Bakura, I would say Ryou is the one who really likes you, because earlier, after the competition, she told me that you were good with your hands." I say, and Bakura's eyes immediately go wide and his cheeks immediately turn a bright shade of red, nicely contrasting with his pale skin.
"Wh-what?" He stutters out and I smirk.
"You heard me. So, I would like to know, what is going on between you two, and why would Ryou of all people say such a thing?" Yugi asks, but cowers when she sees the glower now taking place.
"That girl is dead." Bakura hisses out through his teeth and now Yugi's eyes go wide. Bakura is quite obviously pissed, and, well no one is safe when he isn't happy.
Meanwhile
There is a soft knocking sound at the front door and Ryou moves to open it. There, at the door, are a few males that are part of the elite group of judges, each one staring at Ryou as though mentally undressing the girl.
"As it is right now, Minume is most likely to win. Now, if you would like, since Minume was able to sway our opinions, I am giving you the same option. Would you like to?" The leader of the group asks in a suggestive voice. Ryou raises an eyebrow at the male trying to understand what the male before her is trying to ask of her.
"Would you like it if we came in there, and you swayed our opinions?" The guy asked, using his eyes and hands to make gestures as though trying to make what he is saying much more obvious, however, Ryou still keeps an eyebrow raised.
That is when the male steps into the room and grabs Ryou around the waist. He then leans into the girl's ear and starts nibbling it, like a bunny nibbles onto a carrot. "We could get something going on here; I like em cute and innocent." The man says, and that's when Ryou's eyes go wide.
"NO! NEVER, NOT IN A MILLION MILLENIUMS!" Ryou screams, grabbing her bag and dashing out of her room. The girl runs quickly and blindly, trying anything to get away from what had almost happened, just moments ago.
The girl continues running blindly, that is until she runs right into someone, almost falling down, however, someone reaches out and grabs her waist, stopping the girl from tumbling and falling onto the ground.
Ryou however, still slightly frazzled from what had happened only moments ago, pushes the male away from her, her emerald eyes opening wide as she takes in her surroundings to see a shocked Bakura standing before her.
"What the hell was that?" Bakura asks, looking at the girl with belittling eyes. Yami scowls at the yami standing by him, however, Marik is the one to actually move and grab the girl's shoulders, holding the now crying girl closely and trying to rub her back in as soothing a way as possible.
"What happened?" Marik asks softly in the girl's ear. The girl shivers and sighs, pushing herself away from the other female.
"Well…" Ryou starts, trying and deciding whether or not she should enlighten her friends after what just took place. Her friends look at her with a questioning look in their eyes, and the girl finally sighs. "They told me that if I wanted to win that I had to have sex with them." Ryou admits as she looks to the side.
"What?" Bakura hisses, but Ryou is already there with her arms wide telling him not to do anything.
"Trust me, the universe will punish them ten times worse than what you will." Ryou says, glowering at Bakura.
Bakura continues glaring at the girl before her, but sighs.
"Trust me Ryou; the fact that none of them can have you is how the universe is punishing them." Marik explains, and Ryou smiles back at her, before launching herself onto her friend and clinging on to her. "Ryou, you do love me! I knew you did." Marik says, and with that, she finds herself on the ground.
"Sorry Marik, but it is still a no." Ryou replies before giving Marik such a sweet smile that even the yamis and Seto felt their hearts melt a bit. However, after the words sink in, everyone starts laughing at the now pouting girl. Ryou reaches her hand down and helps her friend up.
"Well, the winner has been decided, and our winner is…Akashi Minume!" The announcer proclaims, and the school erupts in cheers. Minume then exits back onto the stage, a small smile on her face as she glowers in the direction of Ryou and Yugi, however, neither of the girls seem to care that much.
"C'mon guys, let's get something to eat. I'm starved." Joey proclaims, turning on her heel and making her way out of the auditorium.
