Yugi: Spirit Blacksmith?! By: DJ Rodriguez   (Author’s Notes: Hello, everyone. Listen, I lost a few of the chapters of my story here, so I needed to improvise. Do not fret, as the majority of my work is still intact.   Darien: We hope you have enjoyed the work so far. More to come, despite DJ having to go back to college for the Summer Semister.   Now, on with the fanfic!)   Yugi and Metallia soon found themselves in a large room, which seemed to radiate luxury and elegance. A tall golden chandiler was hung above them, radiating light like nothing else. A coffee table seem to be made with perfection, the brown wood making the table seem almost to shine. The chairs were very plush and looked very comfy, especially the couch that situated in the middle of the room.   “Where are we?”, Yugi inquired.   Metalia answered, “We are in the mansion of one Meis Triumph, the Spirit Blacksmith I told you about. We are in his home, in the land of Kant in the countryside of Tradguld.”.   Yugi was about to ask some more questions, when someone came into the room. It was a young man, looking around the age of 17. He had unruly black hair, a boyish looking face, light brown eyes, and standing about 5’6 or so. He was wearing a red cape of some sort, a white t-shirt underneath, a belt of some kind that held his light black pants up, and wearing brown boots. Strapped to his back was a massive hammer, and on his right side was a shealth for a sword. Flanking both sides were two lovely maids, one blonde while the other brunette.   “Metalia? What are you doing here? And who is this?”, asked the young man.   “Meis Triumph, I would like you to meet Yugi Moto. He is a special… guest of mine.”, Metalia answered.   Meis signaled the two maids to leave, whom bowed and did so. Meis sat in one of the chairs next to the table and said, “Hello, Yugi. Welcome to my home.”.   Yugi bowed and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Triumph.”.   Metalia sat across from Meis and stated, “Meis, we have a dire problem here.”.   Meis, Yugi, and Metalia were all in the living room of Meis’s mansion, Metalia telling Meis the huge ordeal. “So, that is why you must train Yugi to become a Spirit Blacksmith. He is the only one who can make and produce the ultimate weapons that can defeat this powerful force.”, she finished saying.   Meis was in a state of shock. ‘There is an evil more powerful then the Dark Emperor?!’, he thought. After awhile, he got over the shock and said, “Thank you for telling me everything.”.   He then turned to Yugi and said, “I’m very sorry on how those jerks treated you.”.   Yugi merely lowered his head a little and replied, “Its all right.”.   Meis then turned his attention back to Metalia and stated, “But, answer me this.”.   Metalia nodded her head. “Why is it that Yugi needs to be trained?”, he inquired.   Metalia sighed and answered, “It is because he has the purest heart, mind, and soul I have ever come across. He has the potential to become the greatest Spirit Blacksmith of all!”.   Meis was pretty much surprised by this statement, while Yugi blushed a deep red at the comment. “How so?”, Meis said.   Metalia then stood up and told Meis, “Take out your sword, and you will see why he has the potential to become a great Spirit Blacksmith.”.   Meis stood up and left the room. Yugi looked at Metalia with a quizzical look. “What is it, little one?”, she asked him.   He replied, “You told me what a Spirit Blacksmith is earlier. But, I still don’t see on how my heart, soul, and spirit can be used to make powerful weapons.”.   She smiled at him mysteriously and said, “Wait. You will soon see.”.   Eight minutes later, Meis came back in the room holding a sword. It was a long, double-edge sword with a red jewel in the hilt and the sides having upside-down wings. It was made of very fine craftsmanship. “Okay. Now… whoa!!”, Meis started to say when the sword started to pulsate in a bright blue light!   Meis’s hands started to tremble a little has he gripped the sword tight. “I… I can feel the intense power flowing through my sword! The spirits inside, t-they’re going crazy!”, he exclaimed.   Metalia smirked a little and said calmly, “That is because they are sensing and reacting to Yugi’s spirit. They have never felt so much purity and power before.”.   Meis now had a look of amazement on his face. “B-But, that’s impossible! I’m fifteen feet across from him!”. Sure enough, he was!   Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were amazed by what they heard and saw. “I can’t believe that sword is reacting so much like that, and Yugi is merely fifteen feet away from it!”, Ishizu stated in shock.   Shadi nodded his head and added, “His spirit, heart, and soul is that powerful! Its unbelievable!”.   Ishizu was in awe at this! ‘This is the true power and strength of Yugi’s being?! I knew that he was something special!’, she thought joyously.   Then, she thought darkly, ‘Too bad that idiot, Yami and those other morons, couldn’t see it! They don’t know what they just gave up!’.   Shadi thought, ‘This is extraordinary! I knew destiny had something grand for Yugi, and this is it!’. They continued to watch the scene with anticipation.   After some moments of trying to relax the spirits inside Meis’s sword (M. Sword), Meis finally did it and put the sword back in its sheath, which was strapped on his back. “That was unreal!”, Meis sighed out as he flopped back in his armchair. Apparently, him trying to calm the spirits took a lot out of him.   “Now you see on why Yugi is the one?”, she asked him.   Meis looked up at Metalia, and nodded his head. Yugi stood up and inquired, “Can either of you two explain on what just happened, please?”.   Metalia looked at him, smiled, and answered, “Yes, brave one. You see, when a Spirit Blacksmith forges a sword, or any other weapon or item, the spirits lying dormant in the craft will react to the blacksmith’s spirit, heart, and mind. The purer the being, the stronger and more powerful the weapon or item becomes. It will glow in certain colors, showing its true strength. And also showing the reflection of the blacksmith. It will reveal the blacksmith’s true reflection of the heart and soul, like a mirror.”.   Yugi started to take it all in, understanding it all. Meis added, “That sword was forged by me, but it reacted to your spirit amazingly. And you were fifteen feet away! That was something very unexpected.”.   Now, Yugi understood it all. His very essence would be used to create weapons powerful enough to defeat this new evil force! “Thank you for telling me all this.”, he told the two politely.   Then he added, “Now, I feel much better for what I’m going to do!”. Metalia smiled warmly at this, while Meis gave a weak smile.   Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were very much excited by the whole thing. “I’m so glad that Yugi can finally use his full potential now! I knew he had it in him!”, Ishizu exclaimed happily.   Shadi added, “ Ditto! Yugi is going to show on what he’s got!”.   They were relived, most of all, that Yugi seemed much better and happier at the moment. It has been so long since they ever seen him genuinely smile. That kind of smile, was a one that could warm the coldest of hearts. ‘I thought that smile was long gone, thanks to those ingrates!”, Ishizu thought as she continued to watch the young man.   Back in Kant, Meis regained his strength and stood up. “Okay, now!”, he stated excitedly.   He looked at Yugi on the couch and asked, “You ready to start your training, Yugi?”.   Yugi jumped off the couch excitedly and replied, “Yeah!”.   The two started to walk out of the room together, when Metalia stopped them. “Hold on.”, she said. The two stopped, and turned around to face her.   “Meis, I feel that you have to tell the others.”, she told him.   Meis quickly agreed with her. “How about after you train him, you get everyone to come here and tell them everything?”, she suggested.   Meis thought for a moment, and said, “Sounds like a good plan to me.”. Metalia and Yugi smiled at this, then a loud sound came out of nowhere.   “It’s the grandfather clock. It looks like night has fallen.”, Meis said. Sure enough, the trio saw through a window that the sun was nearly gone. The moon was rising slowly in the air, and the stars were coming out in all their glory.   “How about we start tomorrow, Yug?”, Meis asked him. Yugi looked up at him and nodded his head.   “Okay. Well, I better be on my way back home.”, Metalia stated.   She went over to Yugi, kneeled down, and gave him a soft kiss on the forehead. “Good night, my brave savior.”, she whispered to him. Yugi blushed a deep crimson at this, knowing on why she said that. She then got up and gave Meis a hug.   “Good night too, Meis.”, she said to him. Meis said good night too, and the woman up and left the mansion.   Meis looked at Yugi and said, “Well, better get you settled in. There’s some empty rooms upstairs, so I’ll have Jennifer and Nina help you out.”. He then clapped his hands loudly, and two lovely maids stepped in. One of them was Jennifer, a beautiful blonde. Nina was a very beautiful brunette.   “Yes, Master Meis?”, they both said simultaneously.   Meis smiled at them and said, “This is our new guest, Yugi Moto.”. He introduced Yugi to the two maids. Yugi blushed a bright red at them and bowed his head to them.   “H-hello.”, he said nervously.   Meis chuckled at this. The two women bowed to him in kind and said, “Good to see you, Mr. Moto.”.   Yugi lifted his head up and said, “No, no. Just Yugi, please.”.   The two looked at him warmly and Jennifer said, “As you wish.”.   Meis then ordered, “Please help Yugi settle in for tonight.”.   Meis then left to go to bed himself, turning around to pat Yugi on the shoulders and said, “Good night, Yugi.”. He then left Yugi alone with the two women.   “Okay! Follow me, Yugi.”, Nina told Yugi kindly. Yugi re-adjusted his backpack on his back, and followed the two ladies. Leaving the living room, he got a good glimpse of the rest of the house. It was really a sight to see! Exquisite paintings hanging on the walls in elegant portraits, expensive looking antiques everywhere, and lovely furniture all around!   “Wow! Meis has some taste!”, he exclaimed in awe.   Jennifer looked behind her and explained, “Oh, this is not all of Master Meis’s belongings. Some did belong to his father, Cliff Triumph.”. Yugi was still amazed that the Triumph family had good taste. Climbing a long flight of stairs, the two ladies soon stopped at a door. Nina opened it, and Yugi walked in. He was amazed on what he saw!   He was now standing in a room that was fit for a prince! A large, double-size bed was in the middle of the room, with a very beautiful cover on it and very large pillows. Yugi put down his backpack in a corner, and suddenly leapt onto the bed like a excited little kid. He found out that the bed was very soft, much softer then his old one. He then sat up and got a good glimpse of the room. It had a huge dresser made out of the finest timber, polished and very expensive looking. A large dresser door was to his right, with clothing already in it. A large mirror was propped up on the right side of the wall, for vanity uses. And, a large bookshelf was propped against the left wall, loaded with books.   “Wow! This is wonderful!”, Yugi exclaimed happily.   The two ladies smiled warmly at him and Jennifer asked, “Is there anything else we can do for you, Yugi?”.   Yugi looked at them, a little embarrassed by his actions, and answered, “No. No thank you. I’ll get settled in myself.”.   The two bowed to him and said, “Good night, then.”. He said good night too before they left and closed the door. Yugi got off the bed, went to his backpack, and started to unpack his stuff.   While putting his clothes up in the dresser, he thought, ‘This is just too good to be true. Metalia, Meis, Nina and Jennifer. They are really nice and wonderful people.’. After he unpacked all of his stuff and got into his pajamas, he went to the bed and nearly fell asleep.   Before he went out, he thought, ‘I pray to God that this isn’t a dream! Its been so long since I had friends like them.’. Then, he was out.   Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were eating dinner when they saw Yugi fall asleep. Ishizu looked at the image, then turned her attention to Shadi. “It is good to see Yugi happy, after all of this time.”, she told him in relief.   He agreed with her on that issue. “You are right. It has been far too long since Yugi has shown happiness like that.”, he replied.   She nodded her head, then turned her attention back to the image of Yugi. “Thank you, fate. For bringing Yugi to his true destiny!”, she whispered.   The two finished eating, then started to clear the table. This was a good event for all of them! Shadi looked at the image and said in a low voice, “Yugi, we know you can do this! Ishizu and myself, we have faith in you!”.   At the Game Shop, Solomon was in his study. He was really puzzled now, because it was getting late and Yugi was still not home. “He is in big trouble, that is for sure!”, he said to himself as he continued to work.   Yami came in the room and patted Solomon on the shoulders, slightly surprising the old man. “Maybe Yugi decided to spend the night at a friend’s house.”, he suggested to him. Solomon though about that for a moment, then took Yami’s word for it.   “Perhaps he is, Yami. I bet he’ll be back tomorrow then.”, he told him.   Yami smiled at him, patted his shoulders once more and replied, “I think so too. Well, good night.”. Solomon gave him a hug and said good night as well.   Yami then started to walk back upstairs, chuckling at a thought. ‘I wonder who’s the poor sap that Yugi’s with? Must have been someone that’s a major loser, like him!’, he thought.   As he reached his room, he opened the door and said in a low voice, “Who would want to be that pathetic shrimp’s friend?!”. He then got dressed for bed, and soon drifted off to sleep.  

Morning came bright and early, the sun’s rays slowly rising over the green mountains. It touched Kant first, settling on the mansion first as well. The rays went through a high window, and hit Yugi’s sleeping face. Feeling the gentle warmth, he slowly stirred from his slumber. Moaning a bit, he turned his head slightly to his right, and saw the room he was in.

 

He smiled a little and mumbled, “I’m so glad that yesterday wasn’t a dream.”. He sat up with a big yawn, got up from the bed, and started to get dressed for the day. He was halfway dressing him, him only having blue pants right now, when the door knocked.

 

“Who is it?”, he asked politely.

 

A girl’s voice called out, “Yugi, Meis told me to inform you that breakfast is ready. He’s waiting for you in the kitchen.”. It was Jennifer’s voice.

 

Yugi smiled and replied, “Okay. Be out in a second.”. A few minutes later, Yugi emerged from his room. He was wearing a white muscle shirt, blue pants, and having his white shoes on.

 

“Alright. I’m ready!”, he told Jennifer, who was waiting outside for him.

 

She smiled down at him and said, “Okay. Follow me.”. Going down the stairs, the two started a conversation. Jennifer asked some things about him, and Yugi pretty much explained everything. Halfway to the kitchen, the young maid was truly amazed on the trials and challenges that Yugi went through.

 

“Wow, Yugi! I can’t believe you had to endure and go through all of those challenges!”, Jennifer told him in amazement.

 

Yugi blushed a bit and replied, “I’m a little surprised myself, actually. I’ve been wondering if all of it was worth it, and I see now that it was!”. Finally, they reached their destination. In front of huge were two large, golden doors. Jennifer went and opened the left one, and Yugi slowly entered. He was now shocked by what he saw.

  He saw a grand dining hall, five times the size of his kitchen! A large and lovely wooden table was in the middle of the room, covered by an elegant white cloth with wonderful designs on it. It was made of a very fine quality fabric. In the middle of the table was a golden candleholder, holding six long candles. He looked up and saw an enormous chandelier, bright gold and numerous diamond strings draping over it. The sunlight hit it, giving off an amazing flash of light! The chandelier soon lightened the whole room up. Yugi then heard a small cough, and saw that it was Meis. He was sitting down at the head of the table, a goofy smile on his face.   When he went over to him, Meis said, “I take it you like the dining room?”.   Yugi just nodded his head slowly as he started to take in all of the area. “This is something I’d never seen before.”, he answered slowly.   Meis just chuckled at this, and pulled up a chair beside him. “Come on, sit down!”, Meis told Yugi.   He snapped out of his awed state, and sat down beside Meis. “Sorry.”, Yugi whispered meekly.   Meis just put an arm around his shoulders and said, “Its okay. Don’t worry about it. Heh, first time someone ever got surprised by this.”.   Yugi saw his goofy smile, and also laughed at this as well. “There! Now, that’s more like it!”, Meis said as he slapped Yugi on the back. In a few minutes, Nina came in pushing a silver tray. Yugi’s mouth was now watering at the sight of the food on it! On the tray were stacks of golden, delicious pancakes, ample amounts of sausage and bacon, a large pitcher of orange juice, and also lots of fruit.   “Dig in!”, Meis said heartily. That he and Yugi did.   Forty minutes later, after finishing their meal, Meis lead Yugi to the smithy. When they got there, Yugi was surprised to see that the smithy was actually inside the mansion! The room he entered was fairly large, lighted only by the bright flame from the huge coal-colored semi-cauldron. An iron anvil was attached to it, about five or six feet long. Water jugs were set above the center of the room, leaning against the wall. Various other items were also there, in their place as well. Meis then lead Yugi to the center of the room, where the flame was.   “Now, we begin your training.”, he said in a stern voice.   Yugi gave him his full attention at this point. Meis then went over and took a piece of metal from a jar. Using a handling bar, he put the metal over the flame. After thirty-five minutes of holding it a loft in the raging inferno, Meis took it out and brought on the anvil. Then, he lifted over his shoulders and brought out a large hammer! The head was light gray, in the shape of a mallet. It had a light brown handle, with a large green gem on the end. Lifting it high, he brought the hammer down hard. The sounds of clinking metal sounded off loud when that happened. He repeated the process while Yugi watched.   Meis then instructed, “Put your heart and soul into it, and the spirit will know. It will decide to imbue with the sword in the process, making it stronger.”.   Yugi saw the seriousness and determination in his face while he was hammering away. After thirty-minutes of that, Meis stopped and looked at his handiwork. The metal was bright orange and very hot. “Come over here.”, Meis ordered.   Yugi followed him as Meis went towards the water jugs. He slowly put the hot metal in, and immense steam poured out from the jug. Waiting a few minutes, he lifted the metal back up. It was now hard, and also coal-colored now. Meis started to study it, and soon closed his eyes. Yugi reasoned that it was the spirit he was talking to. Few moments later, Meis came back to reality. A small smile was on his face.   “Yep, this piece turned out pretty good.”, he stated. Yugi sported a small smile himself.   Meis then looked at him and said, “Your turn now.”.   Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were having their breakfast while watching Yugi. “Do you think he can handle this kind of training?”, Shadi asked his friend.   Ishizu stopped eating her eggs for a moment and answered confidently, “I have faith in his abilities. He can and will handle Meis’s training!”.   Shadi was silent for a few moments, then a small smirk graced his face. “I have no doubt he can.”, he said.   Then he added, “After all, he’s faced off against Pegasus, Duke, Rebecca, and also Merik in all of his trials.”.   Ishizu nodded at this, then continued to eat her eggs. Her sapphire eyes showed off both the confidence, and concern, when she looked up to see Yugi through the mirror. ‘You can do it, Yugi! I believe in you!’, she thought.   “By the way, have Yami and the others noticed that he’s missing?”, Shadi asked her. She stopped for a moment, then said, “No. I haven’t checked on those fools!”, she answered him.   Shadi then turned serious and said, “It is very unwise to call the Pharaoh that.”.   Ishizu looked at him and replied, “I don’t care! After that way he’s treated that poor boy, that’s the very least I could call him.”. Shadi held no argument there. He had seen Yami treat the boy badly enough.   He was in thought for a moment when he finally requested, “How about we see on what is happening with him?”.   Ishizu looked at him in disbelief at this request. She wanted nothing to do with Yami anymore. Shadi then added, “Maybe he has discovered his errors, and is trying to find the boy.”.   She thought, ‘That would be something! Although I doubt Yami has changed his ways, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to see if he has.’. She nodded her head, stood up, and walked away from the table. She approached the mirror and waved her hand in front of it. The mirror then shimmered, like waves on water, and Yugi’s image slowly vanished. It was soon replaced by the image of Yami.   ‘Let’s see if you truly have changed, you big jerk!’, Ishizu said in her mind.   Yami was eating breakfast, but Solomon was nowhere in sight. ‘Probably wondering about where Yugi is. Not that I care.’, he thought.   Finishing his plate and putting it in the sink, he grabbed his backpack and headed out the door. Once outside, he started walking towards Domino High School. He was soon joined by Joey, Téa, and Tristen. “Hey, what’s up?”, Joey asked as he slapped Yami’s back.   Yami replied, “Hi. Not much, I’m afraid.”.   Téa started to look around, searching for something. After awhile, she looked at Yami and asked, “Hey, where’s the little runt?”.   Yami looked at her a bit strangely and inquired, “You mean Yugi?”.   Téa smirked and said, “Who else would I be talking about?”.   Yami answered, “I don’t know. He didn’t come to school, or home last night.”.   He shrugged his shoulders and continued, “I’m pretty sure he met someone, and they spent the night together at their house.”.   Trsiten laughed harshly and said, “I wonder what poor sucker actually did that?!”.   Yami shrugged his shoulders one more time and replied, “Don’t know, don’t care. I’m just glad Yugi’s not my problem, anymore.”.   As they were talking, Mai and the others joined up with them all. “I say, where is Yugi?”, Ryou asked. Yami answered his question like he had earlier to Téa, and the others also laughed at this. Except for Serenity, who looked confused at the moment.   “I wonder who did take Yugi in.”, she wondered to herself.   Then she thought, ‘I may have not know him that much, but he seems rather sweet.’.   She remembered on how he was getting bullied around, and wanted to help him. Unfortunately, Ryou would interfere and said that Yugi could handle it. She was unsure of that, but believed Ryou. That’s why she didn’t help Yugi. Now, she was getting a bit worried about him. She still did, when they all arrived at the school and went their separate ways.   Ishizu was raging mad, and quickly waved her hand in front of the mirror. It soon turned blank, looking like a real mirror now. Tears of anger sprang from her eyes, as she trembled with fury. “I see that Yami hasn’t changed one bit. He’s still the arrogant Pharaoh brat from long ago.”, she said in a very icy and harsh voice.   Shadi shook his head, still seated at the table. ‘Indeed, she is right. Yami has not changed one bit since the old days in Egypt.’, he thought.   Ishizu quickly wiped the tears away, and waved her hand in front of the mirror again. The surface started to turn black, and it rippled once more. Slowly, the image of Yugi came back. “Yugi, you are ten times the man that Yami is!”, she declared in a low voice as she saw Yugi train.   Yugi was sweating very much, from both the heat of the flames and from the work. When Meis handed the hammer to Yugi earlier, it was very heavy. Fortunately, Meis told him to listen to the spirit inside the hammer and ask it to help him. Yugi tried by closing his eyes, and listening intently. Then, he did it! He heard the spirit on his frist try! It was strange to hear, but Yugi understood it completely. He asked the spirit, mentally, if it could help him wield the hammer. It complied, and the hammer suddenly felt lighter.   “That was cool!”, Yugi said as he started to hammer away at a new piece of metal. He was doing what Meis did, hammering away and also putting his heart and soul into the work. After that, he went over to the watering jugs and put the hot blade in one of the containers. Feeling that it was cooled down and hard, Yugi pulled it back up. Meis started to examine it, and looked at Yugi when he was done.   “Not bad, Yugi. Not bad for a first try.”, he told him proudly. Yugi had a smile of satisfactory on his face. Meis then put down the metal, and pulled out another one. Only this time, it was a bit longer and thicker.   “Now, the real test begins!”, he told Yugi. Yugi’s smile vanished, and was replaced by a determined face.   ‘I can do this! Metalia and Meis are putting their faith in me, so I won’t let them down!’, he throught as he started the process all over again.   It was high noon when Meis and Yugi emerged from the smithy. Yugi was exhausted because he had never worked hard like that before. But, he endured it and was planning to do so for as long as it took. Meis really admired his determination in him.   “He’s going to go far, that I pretty much know.”, he said to himself as he looked at the exhausted youth. He then directed Yugi back to the dining room, where lunch was now served. Chicken legs, iced tea, and also biscuits were awaiting them. Yugi slowly went to his seat, and started to eat. Meis did the same, but saw that Yugi was nearly too exhausted to eat at the moment.   “Yugi, we’ll take a small break after we eat. Then, we’ll start again. Okay?”, he told him.   Yugi slowly looked at him and replied, “Yes, sir.”.   Meis chuckled and slightly shook his head. He thought, ‘It looks like he wants to do this. Well, I gotta admit one thing. He’s got a strong heart, and nobody can break it!’. In ten minutes, Yugi finished eating and slowly got, and truged to the living room. Once he got there, he flopped down on the couch. He enjoyed the cool, comforting touch of the cushions as he drifted off for a little nap. Meis saw him and a small smile etched on his face.   “Yugi, you will do fine. That, I know pretty much.”, he whispered. He then called in Nina, and told her and Jennifer to watch Yugi.   “I got to go into town for some stuff, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”, he told her. She said that they would take care of the boy, then he left. Nina saw the sleeping youth, smiled, and sat down on a nearby armchair.   “You got a lot of unseen strength within you, little one. I’m sure you will do fine on the rest of your training.”, she whispered to him. She then bent down, and gave Yugi a little kiss on the cheek. Yugi started to blush a bit faintly from that.   Meanwhile, back in Dianova, something was stirring. Underneath the wreackage and piles of machinery, an ominous force was stirring beneath it all. It was in a room, sealed with the mark of Dianovan Empire, that was slowly rumbling. The mark was slowly fading, disappearing from existence. The more it faded, the stronger the rumblings grew. A low growl emmited from the chamber, signifying that something was in there. Something… with untold powers of evil.   (Author’s Notes: Sorry for the delay, folks. More to come! Like I said, this story is old. I’m just tweaking it a bit, that is all.   Darien: Which female here likes to see Yugi covered in sweat, working hard to make a weapon that will bring peace and justice to all?   R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
