Chapter 25: Arrival to the Duel Dome
"You've gotta be kidding me," Yusuke said, after coming home from his date and hearing from Kagome that Kaiba had called earlier.
"That's right," Kagome said, "Kaiba said that he wants to duel us one at a time, before we become his apprentices and doesn't want us to use the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards."
"Why the hell not!" Kira asked, "Yeah that would give you guys the edge on dueling." Kari added
"I guess that we don't have much of a choice." Yusuke said
.-.-.-.-
The next morning Kagome and Yusuke had packed their belongings worth the time that there with Kaiba. Yusuke emerged from his room wearing a pair of jeans, black shirt, white sneakers and a denim jacket, with his hair gelled back, while carrying his baggage on his shoulder. Yusuke walked down the hallways to the living room, where Kagome was sitting on the couch. Kagome had on a large black trench coat, black shirt and pants and black sneakers.
Yusuke raised an eyebrow at this, noticing that ever since Kagome came back, she's worn nothing but black clothes and still wonder why the sudden change.
Later, after Keiko, Kuwabara, and Syrus's arrival to the apartment, Kaiba's limo arrived at the apartment complex and picked up Kuwabara, Kagome, Keiko, Syrus, Atsuko and the Urameshi triplets and on their way to the Duel Dome.
"Well, well, Yusuke, Kagome, so you two have arrived," Kaiba said, standing outside of the dome, with his arms crossed with his duel disk attached to his arm. He was wearing a sleeveless white studded trench coat, black shirt and pants, straps around his arms and legs.
"Of course, why wouldn't we," Kagome said, "I mean this would be the only way to get into Duel Academy."
"Where's Mokuba?" Yusuke asked
"He's running the company, in my absence," Kaiba replied, then eying Kira, "Who's she?"
"She's our sister, Kira Urameshi," Yusuke replied
"I see," Kaiba said, "Follow me," he turned heel and the others followed into the dome and to the arena.
"We'll be up in the stands to cheer you two on," Atsuko said.
"Thanks mom," Yusuke said, as they (except him and Kagome) turned heel and walked away. Yusuke realized something, "Oh yeah, hey Keiko, hold up!" Yusuke ran up to the brunette, who stopped for him, "Yeah,"
"Here," He then handed her an envelope. The brunette opened it and her eyes widened, "The Blue Eyes White Dragons?" Keiko gave her boyfriend a puzzling look, "But Yusuke, this doesn't make any sense, why would you give me this? This would give you and Kagome a huge advantage with Kaiba's other Blue-Eyes White Dragons."
"Yeah, it would, but Kaiba didn't want us to use these dragons in the duel, so we thought about giving it the one person we trust the most."
Keiko blushed and smiled, when he said, "Thanks Yusuke," she said, "Oh yeah!" Keiko placed her hand into her pocket and pulled out her deck. She then searched though her and pulled out a card, "Here….I think this belongs to you."
Yusuke looked at the card, "The Dark Magician Girl……" he said and shook his head, "No that's yours, remember?"
Keiko's eyes widened, "What? But Yusuke, this is……"
"Yeah I know, but I want you to keep it," Yusuke said, with a smile
"You do?"
"Yeah, it's yours to keep."
"You know, Yusuke, you really don't have to give this to me to prove that you love me more, I know that already," Keiko told him, with a smile, "Plus, I run a fire attribute deck."
Yusuke threw a lopsided grin, "Yeah, but you gave me a spellcaster card, while back and I run a warrior deck and it helped me in duels. Plus, I know that you'll find some use for the Dark Magician Girl in your deck and when you draw it."
Keiko's face turned redder than before and mentality cursed Yusuke for making her blush this much, "Thanks Yusuke, I really mean it." She said and pecked Yusuke's cheek, "I love you." She turned heel and ran away from Yusuke, thinking that she's lucky that she has someone, who really cares about her and to love.
