Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ School of Magick ❯ Yami vs. Yuugi ( Chapter 10 )

I am SO sorry that this took so long to get out. Unfortunately life got in the way. I'll be posting another chapter as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow to help make up for this taking so long. Enjoy!

Responses:

Tjay Motou: Yami/Yuugi FLUFF is coming up in a couple chapters. Hope you can wait for that long.

?: Well you'll have to read the chapter to see what happens with the duel.

kiyoko-chan: Sorry this chapter took so long to get up. Hope you enjoy the duel.

I love Yugi and Davis: Well, all I can say is that you were partly right. I wont' say about what. You'll have to read the chapter to see.

I luv Yugi and Kurt so: Well, here's another chapter for my loyal fans like you!

Princess Strawberry: Yes, I'm using Battle City rules. I didn't want the duels to take forever and they would if the life points were 8000 like in the real game. But I didn't want them to end as quickly as they would if they were only 2000. So I went with 4000. Enjoy!

Dark Lady Setsuna: I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long for the Bakura/Ryou romance, but I promise it's coming! I hope you enjoy the duel!

Rosz of the Angel: As you asked I included a link this time. I wasn't sure how to do it last time. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as you enjoyed the last one.

Kitty-Yasha: You'll only see a few of their cards in this duel, but more will be revealed later. I can say that their decks are going to be really similar but not exactly the same. Enjoy!

The Dark Star Goddess: Sorry I didn't update that soon, but at least I did update.

sweetdeath: Well, this chapter is pretty much all duel, but there is a little more of Yami and Yuugi thinking about each other. Don't worry, next chapter the story picks up speed and the plot starts to enter in.

My Own Shukuun: I'm glad you liked the way they created the monsters using magick. Here's another chapter for you.

Yami's Girl710: Well, next chapter and the one after that will have a lot more fluff and the real beginning of Yami's and Yuugi's relationship. Enjoy!

Kiwi Walpole: I'm into science, too. Especially regarding the elements. I don't think I'm going to go into the science aspect of the elements for this story. Lets just say, that since it's magick anything is possible. But I would like to hear more from you about them. I hope you continue to enjoy the story and I'm glad that you like it so much.

Disclaimer: Still don't own Yugioh.

WARNING: This story is YAOI (male/male relationship)! If you don't like that sort of thing, then don't read this story. You have been warned!

Well, that's enough notes. On with the chapter!!

Chapter 10: Yami vs. Yuugi

"You can go first, Yuugi." Yami stated.

"Alright." Yuugi replied.

He drew a card and looked at his hand. 'Gaia the Fierce Knight, Beaver Warrior, Alpha the Magnet Warrior, Mirror Force, Monster Reborn, and Big Shield Gardna; hmm, what should I play first? I guess I'll play something in defense mode, since I don't know how Yami plays.'

"I play Beaver Warrior (1200/1500) in defense mode." Yuugi stated, bringing the creature to life over the card. "I also play two cards face down and end my turn."

Yami nodded and drew a card. 'Monster Reborn, Dark Elf, Sword of Dark Destruction, Beta the Magnet Warrior, Polymerization, and Raigeki; hmm, I don't know what Yuugi's face down card is, so I'll have to be careful.'

"I play two cards face down and Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in attack mode." Yami stated, placing the cards down. "Now, Beta, attack his Beaver Warrior!"

As Beta charged across the field a reflective wall appeared in front of Beaver Warrior. Beta's attack bounced off and shot back at him, shattering the figure into sparkling particles.

"Sorry, Yami. But your attack activated my face down card. Mirror force, which reflected your monster's attack back at itself and destroyed it." Yuugi placed the now used card in his graveyard.

'Not bad.' Yami thought, grimacing a little. "That ends my turn."

Yuugi drew a card and glanced at it. 'Dragon Capture Jar. I think I'll hold onto this for a little bit.'

"I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in attack mode. Alpha, attack Yami's life points directly."

Yami winced a little as his life points dropped to 2600. 'Almost down to half and it's only his second turn. I'll have to keep my guard up. I wasn't expecting him to be this good. I haven't had any sort of challenge since Seto back at Kami Academy.' Yami smirked to himself, 'Although Yuugi's a lot better looking than Seto ever was.' Yami drew a card and put it in his hand. 'Curse of Dragon will be helpful, especially if I can get both it and Gaia on the field.'

"I play Dark Elf (2000/800) in attack mode and activate Raigeki to destroy all of your monsters."

Yuugi's monsters disappeared with a cry and a shower of sparks and he placed the used cards in his graveyard. Then he waited for Yami's next move.

"Now, I attack your life points directly with Dark Elf."

Dark Elf raised her hands and a blast of black energy shot at Yuugi. His life points dropped to 2000.

"I draw a card," Yuugi started, "And play a monster in defense mode and one card face down. And end my turn."

Yami drew a card, 'Dark Magician! Now, if I can just get two monsters on the field to sacrifice I can bring him out.'

"I equip my Dark Elf with the Sword of Deep Seated to raise her attack to 2500. Now, Dark Elf, attack his defense monster!"

Dark Elf raised her hands and sent a burst of black energy at Yuugi's face-down card. A large man with a huge shield appeared over the card. The attack hit it and dissipated, not affecting the monster at all.

"Sorry, Yami. But my Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) blocks your elf's attack."

'And I loose another hundred life points. Not bad.' Yami thought to himself, smirking slightly.

"That ends my turn."

'Yami's the toughest opponent I've faced in a long time. I haven't had a duel like this since I used to duel Grandpa back home. Yami's a lot more handsome than Grandpa though!'

Yuugi drew a card and looked at it. 'Man-Eater Bug. This will be helpful.'

"I play a monster in defense and activate De-Spell to remove your Sword of Deep Seated. And that ends my turn."

'Hmmm. He's planning something.'

"Alright, I draw one card." Yami stated.

'Silver Fang. I can use him as a tribute to bring out Dark Magician.'

"I play Silver Fang (1200/800) in defense mode."

As he set the card down a flaming wolf appeared over it and howled before crouching into a defense position.

"Now, I attack your face-down monster with Dark Elf."

As the energy wave approached the card the monster appeared over it with a cry. The bug disappeared in the blast and a moment later Yami's Dark Elf disappeared in a shower of sparks.

Yami stared in shock for a moment. 'His Man-Eater Bug destroyed my elf. He's a lot better than I thought. I wonder who taught him to play.'

Yuugi drew another card and glanced at it. 'Great! Dark Magician!'

"I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Alpha the Magnet Warrior from the graveyard. Then I sacrifice Alpha and my Big Shield to bring out the Dark Magician (2500/2100) in attack mode!" Yuugi stated triumphantly as he placed the card down and his favorite monster appeared.

'Damn!' Yami thought, wincing, as the Magician appeared. 'Silver Fang doesn't stand a chance against Dark Magician.'

"Dark Magician, attack Silver Fang!" Yuugi ordered, smiling.

Silver Fang cried out as the dark magick attack hit him and he shattered into a burst of sparks. Yami winced again, grateful that the wolf had been in defense mode rather than attack mode.

Yami drew a card and glanced at it. 'Summoned Skull. I don't' have anything that I can play and my life points are unprotected. Wait! I have Monster Reborn on the field, I can use it revive Yuugi's Big Shield Gardna. It can withstand an attack from Dark Magician.'

"I activate Monster Reborn to bring back your Big Shield Gardna in defense mode."

Yuugi handed over the card from his graveyard and Yami played it on his side of the field, the monster appearing above the card. 'That should protect me for one turn at least.'

"I end my turn."

Yuugi drew a card and looked at it. 'Brain Control. Lets see. Yami has 2600 life points left and I've got 2000. If I use Brain Control on Big Shield Gardna that will give me a combined attack power of 2600. That will end the duel.'

"I activate Brain Control and take control of Big Shield Gardna." Yuugi stated, moving the monster to his side of the field. "I then attack with both Dark Magician and Big Shield, reducing your life points to zero."

"Alright, Yuug!" Jounouchi cheered.

"That was close." Honda stated, smiling.

Yami nodded, smirking. "Yes, very close. Good job, Yuugi."

"You did really well too, Yami." Yuugi replied. "I don't think I've had that tough a duel in a while."

"So, shall we plan on dueling again sometime?" Yami asked, gathering up his cards.

"That sounds like fun." Yuugi replied, also gathering his cards.

"How about we play another round, Yuug." Jounouchi asked.

Before Yuugi could answer the bell tolled nine and they all looked up, surprised.

"Nine already?" Ryou asked.

"How about we take a rain check, Jou?" Yuugi asked, smiling, then yawning. "I don't think I can stay awake much longer."

"Sure, that's fine." Jounouchi replied.

They all left Jounouchi's room. Honda and Ryou shared a room down the hall and Yuugi's and Yami's was upstairs. Jounouchi didn't have a roommate, but, then again. He snored so loudly no one wanted to be his roommate. In fact, his room was at the end of the hall, and the room next door was empty as well.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Yuugi called as he and Yami headed up the stairs.

"Where did you ever learn to duel like that?" Yami asked as they entered their room.

"My Grandpa taught me before I came here. He's really good. He's the best in our village, even though he can't do magick." Yuugi replied, sitting down on his bed.

Yami sat down on his bed, and looked down at his deck for a moment. The top card was Dark Magician, his favorite. 'Yuugi's and my deck are almost the same. At least, from what I saw. Strange. I wonder what his favorite card is.'

Just then Yuugi spoke up. "So, Yami, what's your favorite card? If you don't mind me asking."

"Not at all." Yami replied, grabbing the Dark Magician from his deck and holding it up. "Dark Magician is my favorite card. What about you?"

Yuugi stared in surprise for a moment, then smiled and held up a card. "He's my favorite too. Your deck seems to be a lot mine. Weird, huh?"

"Yes." Yami replied, putting his deck into its holder and stowing it away.

Yuugi did the same and then went to his chest to get out some sleep wear. He pulled out some white cotton pants and a sleeveless white shirt, also made of cotton. Yami looked away as Yuugi started to change, not seeming to care who saw him.

"Well, I'm going to go to sleep, Yami. I'll see you in the morning." Yuugi said, climbing under the covers after opening the window to let in a slight breeze.

"See you in the morning, Yuugi." Yami replied, getting his sleep clothes and changing, then blowing out all the candles in the room and getting into bed as well.

'I think I'm really going to enjoy it here.' Yami thought, then smirked to himself. 'Especially if Yuugi is here.'

With that last thought he drifted off to sleep.
