Chapter 26: Light vs. Blue Eyes
Kaiba and Kagome are shuffling each others decks, while Yusuke was at the corner waiting for the duel to start.
"I hope that Kagome will be alright," Keiko said, "She's facing one of Duel Monsters' best duelists."
"I'm sure that she and Yusuke will be alright," Syrus said
"Yeah, sure Kaiba has those three Blue-Eyes, but so do Yusuke and Kagome," Atsuko said
"About that, Atsuko," Keiko held up an envelope and Atsuko grabs it and opens it and her eyes widened, "You're fucking kidding me!" she yelled, looking at the six Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards, with the others
"What! Those are the Blue-Eyes!" Syrus yelled
"Yusuke gave them to me to hold on," Keiko said, "Kaiba barged him and Kagome from using them."
Kuwabara was freaked at this, "That will mean that Kaiba's gonna have them for lunch!" he snapped, "Without those dragons in Kagome and Urameshi's decks, it's suicide!"
"I figure that we'll find where the duel will be……"
The others turned to see the owner of the voice, which was Kurama, with Hiei, Zane and Botan with him, "Hey guys," Kuwabara greeted
"Hello!" Kurama said, "I take it that Yusuke and Kagome won't be using the Blue-Eyes White Dragons that Kaiba gave them."
"Yeah, for some reason, Kaiba doesn't want them to use them in this duel." Syrus said.
"Remind me, why are we here?" Hiei asked
"We're here to cheer both Yusuke and Kagome on," Botan replied
Hiei scoffed, "It's just a stupid card game that humans spend their meaningless lives with," he said
"Stupid!" Kuwabara yelled, "Duel Monsters isn't stupid!"
Hiei rolled his eyes, 'Too easy.'
"Go Kagome!"
The others looked at the other side, where three girls of the same age as Kagome, along with a child, a woman and an old man.
"Who are they?" Kira asked
"They're our family members," Kari replied, "Hey Aunt Edna!" (A/N: A made-up name of Kagome's mom)
The woman known as Edna looked at the other side, "Hi!" she greeted. A few moments later, Yugi, Solomon and his friends (Tristan, Joey, Mai and Tea) appeared, with Kuwabara gawking at Yugi's appearance and Hiei muttering how much of an idiotic human being Kuwabara is.
Kagome and Kaiba had their duel disks activated and drew their five cards from their decks. (KaiLP: 8000/KagLP: 8000)
"Watashi no time, draw!" Kagome drew her first card and places it in her hand, "I'll summon Hysteric Fairy (ATK: 1800) in attack mode and place two cards face-down!" a female fairy with glasses and a business suit appears on fixing her glasses. "Your turn."
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba said, pulling a card from his deck. He already knew what he was going to do, "I'll play the spell card, Pot of Greed!" he said, sliding the spell card into his duel disk, "this allows me to draw two more cards." He smiled when he saw what they were, "Get ready!"
"What?" Kagome replied
"I summon Lord of Dragons (ATK: 1200) to the field and play the spell card Flute of Summoning Dragon." A cloaked wizard wearing dragon bone armor appeared on the field holding a horn engraved with a dragon's head. He brought the horn to his lips and a pure sound resounded around the dome. "This allows me summon two Dragons from my hand. Now I'll summon my Spear Dragon (ATK: 1900) and Blue-Eyes White Dragon (ATK: 3000)!" A blue bat-winged dragon with a sharp snout and a huge white dragon with blue-eyes appeared next to Lord of Dragons.
Kagome inhaled sharply, 'Uh oh!'
Everyone inhaled very sharply, "No way!" Kuwabara yelled
"Kaiba's summoned his Blue-Eyes on the first turn!" the girl known as Ayumi added
"Which means that Kagome's in for it," the boy known as Sota said
"But didn't Kagome had all three Blue-Eyes in her deck?" Edna asked, "And the same for Yusuke."
"No Kaiba barged them from using them in this duel," Keiko said
"Figures, he'll try dat," Joey muttered, in anger and growled, as he turned his glare at Kaiba, "Kaiba, you slime, I shoulda know dat you'll pulled dis, rich boy!"
"Spear Dragon," Kaiba announced, ignoring Joey's outburst, "attack her Hysteric Fairy, with Cyclone Blast!" Spear Dragon released a vicious tornado from his mouth and the fairy screams as she is shattered. (KagLP: 8000)-(KagLP: 7900)
"Now Blue-Eyes, White Lightning Attack!" Blue-Eyes releases a destructive blast towards Kagome. Kagome braces herself as the blast hits her hard. (KagLP: 7900)-(KagLP: 4900) "Now Lord of Dragons attack her directly!" At Kaiba's command, his monster charges towards Kagome, "I'll activate my Draining Shield Trap Card!" Kagome shouted as a clear shield appears around her, protecting her from Lord of Dragon's attack, "Not only it stops your attack, it increases my life points equal to your Lord of Dragon's attack points (KagLP: 4900)-(KagLP: 6100), "As you can tell, Spear Dragon goes to defense mode," True Kaiba's word, Spear Dragon covers his face with its wings (DEF: 0000). "I'll set one card face-down. Your move."
"Awesome!" Ayumi cheered
"Kagome is still in this duel," Keiko added
"I hope that it wouldn't end like the last time," the girl known as Yuki
"What do you mean by that?" Kurama asked, "Did she suffer a huge lost before?"
"Well, before Kagome moved away from us, a girl dueled Kagome," the girl known as Emi started, "When Kagome lost, her of her cards where thrown out of her duel disk and she fell onto the ground." Ayumi said
"All of her cards were thrown out," Botan repeated, with awe
"Do you know how this was done?" Yugi asked
Yuki shook her head, in reply, "We didn't know what caused it," she said, "We thought that it was one of her diseases."
"Yeah, I was told that Kagome had to stay home a lot because of them," Mai said
"But Kagome's been healthy and haven't missed a day of school," Keiko said
"That's right," Kira said, "She hasn't shown any sickness." Zane added
"She must be getting better," Sota said
"Yeah," Yuki said, "Anyway, this girl had cards that we never saw in our lives."
"What was this girl's name?" Mai asked
"We didn't know," Yuki replied, "But I remember what she looked like, she had long brown hair tied to a braided ponytail."
"I see."
"We were so glad that she was all right," Grandpa Higurashi said
"Since that day, Kagome kept losing in duels one after another." Ayumi said, "We wonder if she was shell-shocked, considering it was her first lost."
"I'm guessing that she got over it, because students have dueled her to date her," Syrus started, "And she's won everyone of them with ease."
"And plus, we picked up some weird things from Kagome," Kuwabara started, "Anytime a guy is flirting with her, she sends an icy glare to tell them to back off."
"A glare?" Kurama said
"Yeah, I could actually feel the chill from that glare, even though it wasn't directly at me."
"That is strange though." Botan pondered
"That's not the only thing that's strange," Keiko said, "Yeah, her whole wardrobe has turned absolutely black." Kari said
"Now that you've mention it, Hikari," Edna said, "I've picked that feeling as well, like Kagome wasn't herself."
"We'd hope that she'll return to her old self soon, but it's not happening," Grandpa Higurashi said
"Watashi no time, draw!" Kagome said. She draws a card and smiled, "I'll summon X-Head Cannon (ATK: 1800)!" A blue and yellow robot with shoulder-mounted cannons appears on the field ready to strike
"Next, I'll rock the spell card, Frontline Base, which allows me to roll out Y-Dragon Head (ATK: 1500)!" in a yellow light a red mechanical dragon appears next to X-Head Cannon on the field. "Next I'll activate this spell card, Trap Booster! Now I can discard on card from my hand into the graveyard to activate a trap card, Call of the Haunted, to relieve a monster that's in the graveyard to attack mode! And I choose Z-Metal Tank (ATK: 1500)!" a yellow tank appears next to Y-Dragon Head.
"But that card wasn't in your graveyard!" Kaiba yelled
"It was after I discard it with Trap Booster," Kagome retorted, "Now, I'll combined my monsters together to XYZ-Dragon Cannon (ATK: 2800)!" the three mechanical monsters combined themselves to the ultimate monster.
"I don't know what you're planning to do with that monster, Kagome," Kaiba said, "It's weaker than my Blue-Eyes." His dragon roared in agreement.
"That's where my spell card comes in," Kagome said, "Go Black Pendant!" Kagome slid the card to the spell/trap slot of her duel disk, "Now my Dragon Cannon's attack points increase by 500!" (ATK: 2800)-(ATK: 3300)
"No way, that would wipe out my Blue-Eyes with ease!" Kaiba gawked
"Now Dragon Cannon attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Cannon Fire Storm!" The mechanical combination fired up its cannons and sends a blast towards Blue-Eyes.
"Go Trap Card," Kaiba shouted, "Ring of Destruction."
Kaiba's autokill ring flew out of from its vertical card, slipped it around Dragon Cannon, "Now your dragon will be destroyed will take the equal amount of life points from both players!"
"I don't think so," Kagome shouted, "Activate Trap Card, Trap Jammer!"
Kaiba's autokill right is shattered and Dragon Cannon's attack incinerates Blue-Eyes. Kaiba shields his eyes as his dragon is obliterated. (KaiLP: 8000)-(KaiLP: 7700)
"That ends my turn." Kagome said
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba drew a card and smirked at the sight of it, "I'll activate my White Dragon Ritual! Now by sacrificing Spear Dragon, I can summon Paladin of White Dragon!" Out of the image of the spell card came a knight dressed in white armor riding a baby Blue-Eyes (ATK: 1900)
"What's the point of summoning that monster for?" Kagome asked, "That monster is weaker than Dragon Cannon, even though you summon your Blue-Eyes with Paladin's little effect!"
Kaiba's smirk widened, "I know," he said, "I'll activate the spell card, Ritual Weapon! Now my Paladin's attack and defense points increase by 1500 points!" (ATK: 1900)-(ATK: 3400)
"3400 attack points!" Kagome squeaked
"That's right," Kaiba shouted, "Now Paladin of White Dragon attack with Ionic Spear Burst!" At Kaiba's command, Paladin charges towards Dragon Cannon as he turned into rushing force and hits the cannon and shatters it, "Glad you did that!" Kagome (KagLP: 6100)-(KagLP: 6000) said, "When you destroyed my Black Pendant, you've activated other effect of my spell card, inflicting 500 points to your life points."
"You're kidding me," Kaiba (KaiLP: 7700)-(KaiLP: 7200) shouted, "Lord of Dragons attack her directly!" Lord of Dragon charges towards Kagome and this time the black clad girl didn't have anything to stop it, as it hits Kagome's stomach (KagLP: 6000)-(KagLP: 4800). She took a while to catch her breath as Lord of Dragons returned to his owner.
"I place one card on the field and end my turn." Kaiba said.
"Watashi no time, draw!" Kagome said, drawing her card, "I'll activate the spell card, Pot of Greed, now I get to draw two cards from my deck!" Kagome draws her two cards from the top of her deck, "I'll activate two copies of Fiend Sanctuary, this allows me to summon two metal fiend tokens!" the two tokens appears on the field (ATK: 0000)x2
"And now I'll sacrifice my fiend tokens to summon Wingweaver in attack mode!" the two tokens disappeared and a human-sized fairy with six wings appears (ATK: 2950)
"As powerful as your fairy, it's weaker than my Blue-Eyes," Kaiba said.
"I know," Kagome said, with a grin, "That's why I have this, field spell card, Light Sanctuary!" Kagome slaps the card into the field spell slot and a burst of light appears and bright the area and the scenery changed to a sky scene.
"What's this?" Kaiba asked
"My Light Sanctuary increases my Wingweaver's attack points by 1000 points, only when she attacks a monster that's stronger than her." The Wingweaver glows pink (ATK: 2950)-(ATK: 3950), "Now Wingweaver attack Paladin now!"
Wingweaver blasts a huge blast from her hands towards Paladin, "Go Trap Card, Attack Guidance Armor!" a bone armor appears onto Lord of Dragons, "Now your attack is redirected to Lord of Dragons!" Wingweaver's blast was deflected from Paladin to Lord of Dragons and destroying it. (KaiLP: 7200)-(KaiLP: 4450)
Kagome grimaced, because she really want to get rid of Paladin, because of his effect, "I'll place a card face-down and end my turn!"
"Oh man," Syrus said, "Since Paladin is still there, Kaiba will be able to summon his second Blue-Eyes!"
"But don't forget, Sy," Kira said, "Kaiba's Blue-Eyes can't attack on the same turn that it was summoned with Paladin's effect."
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba drew his card and grinned at the sight of it, "I'm going to summon my ultimate beast of destruction!"
"Oh crap, don't tell me," Yusuke said
"You're going to summon that Ultimate Dragon, aren't you?" Kagome asked
"That's right," Kaiba said, "As soon as I activate Silent Doom, which allows me to summon forth my Blue-Eyes from the graveyard!" The white dragon rose from the ground hunched down with its wings wrapped around itself. (DEF: 2500), "Then, I'll sacrifice Paladin for Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" The baby dragon and its knight rider disappeared in a whirlwind and out of that whirlwind stepped a huge white dragon with huge wings and blue eyes appears on the field, next to the crouched Blue-Eyes. (ATK: 3000)
"Two Blue-Eyes!" Kagome squeaked
"One was bad enough," Ayumi said, "Now Kagome has to face all those two Blue-Eyes."
"And now, I'll combine my two Blue-Eyes on the field and with the one in my hand with Polymerization to summon forth Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" the third Blue-Eyes appears on the field next to the two and melded together with the two to create a three headed white dragon with blue eyes (ATK: 4500)
"Behold the most powerful and devastating dragon of them all!" Kaiba shouted, with everyone inhaling sharply
"The Ultimate Dragon, it can't be!" Sota gawked
"It is," Kurama said, "And with 4500 attack points, that blast will bring a lot of damage towards Kagome's life points."
Kaiba grins, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack with Neutron Blast!" The Ultimate Dragon powers up its attack.
"Go Trap Card," Kagome shouted, "Wing Hammer! Now by sacrificing Wingweaver, I can destroy one of your monster and you take damage equal to the attack of that destroyed monster!"
"That's more than enough to finish Kaiba off!" Keiko said.
"Awesome!" Joey cheered, "It looks like Kaiba's gonna lose! Ya hear dat, rich boy, going down!"
Wingweaver glows and flies towards the Ultimate Dragon as the dragon fires its attack and slams herself to the dragon and explodes on impact.
"All right!" Joey cheered
"Way a play!" Syrus added
"What's that?" Zane gawked, pointing at the figures in the smoke and cleared slowly.
"Huh?" Kagome gawked
"No way!" Yusuke added
The smoke cleared out, revealing Kaiba and his three Blue-Eyes, "Too bad that you didn't hit your target," Kaiba said, holding out a spell card from his hand.
"De-Fusion?" Kagome said
"That's right," Kaiba said, "It reverted Ultimate Dragon back to his pre-fusion form, so since Wing Hammer's target was no longer there it swung emits."
Kagome realized that she was no big trouble and with no Monsters and Trap Cards out, she was going to lose. The three Blue-Eyes powers up their attacks, "Something that my three Blue-Eyes will not be doing, attack with White Lightning!" At Kaiba's command, his two dragons hurl their attacks at Kagome and hit her hard and explodes on impact.
Kaiba laughs triumphantly as the images disappears.
"Kagome!" Yusuke, Kari, Kira, Keiko, Syrus and Sota yelled in unison as the smoke appears to see Kagome lying down on her stomach, with her bangs covering her eyes (KagLP: 4800)-(KagLP: 0000)
Yusuke ran towards where his cousin is lying and crotched down to Kagome and turned her over, then placed her in his arms, "Kagome, wake up!" he plead
"Kaiba, if she's hurt, I'll press charges!" Joey gawked
Mai whacks Joey on the head, "Shut up!" she snapped, with an anime stress mark on her head
Kagome groaned and opened her eyes and her vision blurred as she sees that she was in Yusuke's arms, "Yu…Yusuke."
"Welcome back," Yusuke said, with a smile
Kagome blinked twice, "What happened?" she asked
"You lost."
Kagome's eyes widened and she looked around and eyed her duel disk to see that her deck was there, 'It's still there……' she thought, with relief, she got up on her feet.
"Great job, Kagome," Tea said.
"Yeah, you almost had him," Tristan added.
Kagome turned to face her friends and gave them a thumbs-up. Yugi, smiling, nodded his head in approval.
Kagome's attention was brought back to Kaiba as he walked towards him. "That was a good duel," Kagome said, offering her hand.
Kaiba took it and shook his hand. "I must admit," he said, letting go, "you've got your cousin's dueling skill. Now," he said, "I believe Yusuke is supposed to be my next opponent."
Yusuke put on his game face and walked over to take Kagome's place. "You did a good job," Yusuke said to Kagome. Then he turned and faced Kaiba.
Kagome stepped away to take his place with her friends and family. "Go, Yusuke!"
Unknown to them, a dark figure was in the shadows, glaring his cold blue eyes at Yusuke and Kaiba, who were shuffling each other's decks, 'Soon you'll pay for your crime, you monster.' He thought as he gets out a phone from his pocket and dials a number, "Master Sartorious, the next duel is about to start."
At a white room...
"I see," Sartorius said, "It's only a matter a time, until I recruit our newest member," he broke out a grin, "Yusuke Urameshi, for when he loses young Yusuke will see the light! Everyone does, eventually."
