ตอน 84: Yugi-Lite 1

While he initially only planned on purchasing Fallen Current, getting a few extra copies of them when he saw they were only a hundred DP each…he ended up splurging and spending an extra twenty thousand DP.

The equivalent of two thousand quid back home. So in total he spent the equivalent of two thousand and fifty quid when including the five copies of Fallen Current he bought.

Sadie it seemed, had gotten a new card in stock that she knew he would love and kept it by for him instead of putting it straight up for sale.

One he'd never heard of at all, but after he saw the effect, couldn't resist the urge to buy it at all.

'Eat your heart out Zane.' Yarden laughed to himself as he relaxed on his comfy green couch, deck in hand and his newest acquisition at the front, admiring it.

The great big serpentine dragon of magma staring back at him was a thing of beauty and badassery in one.

'Tch, it's nothing special,' Serpent Night Dragon coiled along the length of the backrest of the couch scoffed, 'It's just a big flaming rock snake, hardly comparable to my own majestic self.'

Looked like someone was jealous.

'I am not.' he turned his snout up at him.

'Kinda are,' Dark Magicial Girl phased into view and plopped herself down across his lap. Luckily she wasn't physical or she would have knocked his cards out of his hands, 'No need to be though, we all know your Master's favourite. Well, besides me that is teehee~'

Serpent Night Dragon promptly, ignored her.

She shrugged with another giggle and phased her head through his cards and gave him a beaming smile, 'It's about time to go Master. That Dimitri Kid has already stolen Yugi's deck and your pals, girlfriends included are on their way there now.'

"Girlfriends, plural?" He raised an eyebrow at her, even as he stood up, going right through her body and stowed his cards in the deck box attached to his belt.

'Jazz-Jazz and Minnie-poo, we all know it's a matter of time,' Dark Magician Girl shrugged and gave him a teasing wiggle of her eyebrows, 'Lovely-Lexi went and decided to go see it early with them and that Zane guy you love to flex your muscles with.'

Huh, that was different. Maybe because he bought them all tickets? "Why didn't she come get me?" he wondered.

Breaking and entering was right up his alley.

'Cuz you gave her into trouble last time they did something along these lines remember? Well, kinda different, but they went out to find that Chazz guy and you gave them a verbal spanking, but same diff,' she shrugged again and explained, 'Basically, she thinks you're a stick in the mud.'

You wot mate?

"…You've gotta be kidding me," he gave the duel monster babe a deadpan stare, "Because I gave them into trouble for being stupid and not using an inkling of common sense, I'm a stick in the mud?"

What the hell was wrong with people's logic here?

'Well, that and plus you told her before when she asked you to help with the duel giant and the eggwich thief that you wouldn't and I quote, waste your time with lame crap like that,' Dark Magician Girl added, 'Alexis has a pretty decent grasp on how lazy you are now. Honestly, I'm almost surprised you're bothering with this at all, you don't usually want to deal with these little adventures unless you get something out of it…but then, that's exactly why you're going, isn't it master?' as she finished, she gave him a deadpan look and directed her eyes at the table in front of the couch.

Where a rather shiny new video camera sat fresh out of the box and set for use.

"It's good publicity for me and it'll be easy," Yarden shrugged in response, leaning over to pick up the video camera, "He's just some copycat that only managed to beat Syrus and last as long against Jaden because for some reason the guy refused to use his best cards early on."

Dark Magician Girl's eyes narrowed and she leaned back on the couch, 'You're underestimating Yugi's deck far too much,' she told him seriously, 'You've only saw a fraction of what it's capable of. If you don't take him seriously, you'll lose.'

"…I doubt it," Yarden responded with a shake of his head, "Unless it's full of cards I don't know like the new ones he used against Kaiba, that deck won't be able to do much against me, especially not in the hands of Dimitri. That guy hasn't won a single duel since the year started, even after copying winning professional decks."

'Well, you'll see,' she washed her hands of the discussion, 'Just know, while my teacher isn't with the deck and neither are the god cards, many of the spirits that are deathly loyal to Yugi are within the deck and even in the hands of a thief, they won't go easy at all, they'll respond with equal if greater force. They'll refuse to give a poor showing that can reflect on their master.'

"I'll keep it mind." Yarden nodded, and he would. But, he wasn't all that fussed or feeling threatened at all.

Dimitri was just that bad.
