Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! YF54 is BACK and with it, the third installment for my Emperor of Darkness series! And I'm sure you all noticed that this is no ordinary story. Its a cross-over with Arc-V. What does that mean? Well, just wait around to find out!

The summer months had passed in a blur for students of various schools. But it was the student of one particular academy that we focus on. He was in the Mediterranean sea, on an uncharted island just off the boot tip of Italy.

His name?

Jaden Yuki, Supreme King of the Ring and top duelist on the circuit. He had bought the island years ago. It became an island retreat to get away from the circuit and recharge. Something that he definitely needed after the hectic school year he just had.

Last school year, his ancient foe, the Light of Ruin had tried to destroy the world. It nearly succeeded if not for him and the duelists of Earth, young and old, aiding him.

He thought back to the last few days of the school year. Ian, Amelia, and Jerome had not been expelled, much to the shock and chagrin of many. The reasoning? The Society of Light had been written down as a School Club. Due to that technicality, they were still students.

Though, he did recall that Amelia had transferred to one of the other academies. She had seen really shaken up over the whole thing. He didn't know what happened to Ian or Jerome, but they didn't seem too repentant of what they did when under the influence of the Light.

After that, he had left for this little island getaway.

With a week left in the vacation, he was going to take each moment to relax. Shame he forgot about one thing. His duel spirit allies. Yubel had told a certain group of where the island was.

He heard the roar of an engine and sat up on his chair. Lifting his sunglasses, he saw a boat coming.

"That's odd...Ricardo isn't due until the end of the month with my supplies..." Jaden muttered, not seeing Yubel smirking up a storm.

Getting up, he headed for the dock. The boat cut its engine and rode the currents. Slowly, it came up to the dock. Jaden could see five people in the boat; at the front was Ricardo. But the four behind him gave him a little surprise.

All four were women, but women he knew. Jasmine, Mindy, Alexis and Fonda. All four were wearing large coats with bags next to them. Their faces lit up in joy as they got off the boat once the ramp was lowered.

"Jaden!"

"Ladies." Jaden greeted, turning to Ricardo who was grinning up a storm. "Hola, Ricardo."

"Hola, Signore Yuki! Mighty fine catch today for you, eh?" The man asked, bellowing out a laugh.

Jaden knew Ricardo was joking. He helped the four off the boat, seeing looks of relief on the girls faces.

"Thanks Jaden. Glad to be away from that guy's son." Mindy commented.

Jaden knew right away who she was talking about. There was only one person in Ricardo's family that could earn a comment like that. Seeing the look, Ricardo quickly grew serious.

"Si, he tried to make a move on them, Signore. BUT! They put him in place, saying they did not want to play with a little boy! Mentioned you quite a bit which made him sulk."

"I hope you plan on disciplining him when you get a chance." Jaden said.

Ricardo nodded, handing over the ladies luggage. With a wave, the older man was on the way back to his home. Jaden picked up the bags and carried them to the path. Along the way, Mindy and Jasmine looked around.

They both spotted a small wooden house as they trekked up a hill.

"Uh...Jaden, isn't that place a little small?" Jasmine asked, confused.

All this real estate and Jaden made a small house? The yellow eyed boy laughed, all of his spirits joining in.

"That's not the house, girls. THAT is a home for the sea birds. Just follow me up these stairs."

A tad embarrassed at assuming the smaller building was a home, the pair crested the hill. They saw Fonda and Alexis staring in open mouth shock. They followed and saw why.

The manor was massive! It sat nestled against the shore, a massive window at the back. Jaden chuckled, leading them inside. The inside was just as spacious as the outside suggested and had several pieces of modern art.

"Why is it so big, Jaden?" Fonda asked, for once not blushing at her own innuendo.

At hearing her question, the young man explained.

He had always wanted to have a large family, to make up for his lack of one. It was a strange notion of his, but he embraced it. His answer made all of their hearts flutter. Setting the luggage they had down, he smiled.

"There are several guest rooms you can bed down in." Jaden said, looking at his spirits. "The gang can show you where."

"Actually, Jaden, I want to talk to you." Fonda said suddenly.

Nodding, the three went with the others leaving the two alone. Fonda smiled softly.

"Yubel. She told us where you were going to be. I made the arrangements and told their families that they were touring Italy with me."

"I get that, but why?"

"...Mostly for Alexis's sake."

At that Jaden understood. His blonde girlfriend was still torn up about the whole SoL debacle. He sighed.

"I see...alright, but I'm holding you responsible for them alright? We're in our mid to late teens...and the guys who have girls have...boasted." Jaden said, a faint blush on his face.

She understood. They were at the age to experiment. Thankfully, last year had been nothing more then that. By this time, Jasmine and Mindy had returned.

"Hey Jaden, there any place to lounge out on the beach?" Jasmine asked.

The male nodded. There was a small beach just down the back. Out of the way and out of sight. He shook his head, recalling all of the times he had been spied on from drones sent out. Thankfully, he had found that area and used it instead of the main beach. At that, the two girls smirked.

They shed their coats, revealing that they were wearing bikinis underneath. Mindy was wearing a black bikini that hugged her curves tightly, showing off her legs and upper area. She skipped a little, making her chest bounce and jiggle with each movement.

Jasmine was in a red bikini that also hugged her body. She smirked at Jaden, leaning over and revealing her clevage.

"Well, what do you think, Jay-Jay?" Jasmine teased.

"...I think I'm both in over my head...and in love." Jaden said honestly.

"Then turn around, big boy." Jasmine purred.

Confusion set in. Turn around? But he obeyed. He turned around...and instantly found his face between two orbs. Startled, he staggered back. He stared in pure shock.

Fonda had undone her own coat, revealing herself to be wearing a purple sling bikini that left little to the male's imagination. Two arms wrapped around him, giggling. Before he could protest, he was dragged off by the three. One thought was going through his head at this.

This week is gonna be hell...

EODGX

The secondary beach was smaller then the main, but no less beautiful. Wading pools full of various life, the waves lapping gently at the shore. Jaden chuckled at the shell-shocked expressions the three women had. He didn't blame them.

"Well, what are you three waiting for?" He teased.

Mindy and Fonda went right for the surf, wading in. Jaden gave out a warning about various crabs living in the wading pools in case they decided to investigate. Jasmine pulled out a towel, laying down on her front.

"Jay? Minding putting some sunblock on me? I want to try and get some sun." She asked.

Jaden nodded, grabbing the offered bottle. He placed a generous amount on his hands, rubbed them, and then began to gently massage the blocker into Jasmine's shoulders. As she sighed in relief as he worked, he started a conversation.

"So Jasmine...what do you want to do after you graduate? I know you are planning to be a vet full time and a capable duelist, but you don't strike me as the professional type."

Jasmine giggled, nodding a bit.

"I may spend a few months on the circuit, just to see how it is. But yeah. The vet plan is still my overall goal. But in my spare time, I want to be a fashion designer."

That took Jaden by surprise. Jasmine laughed. Yeah, you'd expect such a thing from Mindy, but no. Fabrics have always been something that fascinated her. She had gotten into sewing with her grand-mama. Jasmine loved comparing the various fabrics to see what would work.

"But seeing the end result? That is where it REALLY pays off." Jasmine gushed.

She hoped to start her own fashion line and company. But she first needed to do a lot of logistics and marketing before even thinking of opening. Maybe that time in the pro circuit will give her some inspiration for some clothes.

Jaden smiled, glad to hear that she had some goals at least.

"What do you plan to do after the circuit Jaden?"

"...I want to be a stay at home dad. I did mention that I want a big family to take care of after..."

Here, he grew quiet. Jasmine knew why. She touched his arm.

"If its anything, Jay, you are MORE of a man then he ever will be."

Jaden smiled thankfully at her for that. The two lapsed into a comfortable silence. After looking at her friend and Fonda out in the surf, Jasmine spoke up again.

"Out of all of the women you got, who would you have sex with first?"

Jaden, taking a sip of water, choked and coughed. Yubel, overhearing, roared in laughter at Jasmine's question. After getting his coughing fit under control, he looked at the red-head.

"I feel that is a loaded gun of a question and no matter how I answer, I will be shooting myself in the head and not the foot."

Jasmine laughed, shaking her head. She wanted his honest opinion. She was a big girl, she could take it. Jaden sighed. He answered honestly.

He had no clue. All of them were beautiful in their own rights. Jasmine herself was passionate and fiery. That was a big factor for him.

Mindy could be giggly and cute, until you got her mad. Jasmine agreed with that. She had seen her friend lose her temper a lot. But it was a big draw for the boy.

Alexis was a combination of both her and Mindy. Fiery, passionate one moment, but giggly and cute the next.

Fonda was motherly and kind. Same with Yubel. Said spirit blushed a little, smirking.

"So you like MILFs huh, Judai?" Yubel teased, making Jasmine smirk.

"I don't think that's a bad thing." Jasmine commented. "You're not the only one who wonders about the mature women."

Both the spirit and Jaden gaped at the red head who just smirked teasingly. Laying back, she could see where Jaden was coming from. It was hard to chose. All of them were unique in their own ways which could lead to some interesting bed play.

"But we don't need to jump into bed right now. You've been a gentleman about it, Jay. Just as you won't pressure us, we...no, I won't pressure you into doing something with you. I can only speak for myself, not for Mindy, Alexis, Yubel, or Fonda." Jasmine said, making Jaden smile.

He appreciated that. Jasmine looked at Yubel and then leaned over to Jaden, whispering something into his ear. His eyes went wide before looking at her. She just nodded and mouthed 'think on it', to him. He nodded. He settled back with her, watching the surf and two women playing. Feeling Jasmine cuddle next to him, he wrapped an arm around her.

The quiet basking was a perfect moment for the two.

Okay, hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this cross-over! Have a Happy New Year, and here is hoping 2025 will be a wonderful year.
