There was a subtle shift in the air. A sudden draft, a release of pressure somewhere in the distance. It was different than the influx of competitive energy that sparked like fire crackers against the back of her neck – tightly bound spiritual pressure had been released. She recognized it immediately as the sensation of Yami's spirit as it usurped control of Yugi's body.
No surprise that Yugi was one of the first to duel. He had been one of the first competitors in Duelist Kingdom – it wasn't in his nature to sit idly by and wait for a competitor he thought suitable, and it wasn't in the nature of most of his competitors to let him. And with what he learned in the museum heavy on his mind, Yami no doubt wanted to get his answers as soon as possible.“Kokoro-kun?” Eiko queried. “Are you alright?”“I'm fine.”Eiko was perhaps the greatest waitress in the history of food service, and steadily more of a friend to both her and Yugi as they frequented her coffee shop. It was unfortunate she had to work while Battle City was on – she had wanted to take Eiko to see the duels, Jou's, in particular. Both she hand Anzu had decided the two of them simply needed to be a couple, and what better way to get them together than take Eiko to cheer for him?“I should go find Yugi-kun.” She sighed as she rose. “Knowing him, he's already gotten himself into trouble.”“How could he? The competition just started.”“It's kind of a talent of his.”They bid one another a good afternoon, before she found herself on the street. Most of Kaiba's chosen competitors were young, either in high school or just graduated, without much experience. She spotted Mai well across the street as she viciously trounced one of the young competitors – after Jou the amateur defeated her at Duelist Kingdom, it seemed as if everyone thought they would have the same luck.Whatever was bound behind the door hissed and rattled to life the nearer she got to an active duel, no doubt because it sensed potential danger. She'd all but gotten used to the sensation – for days on end, the door had been forced open by the presence of the evil in Bakura's Millennium Ring, and though it had been painful at the time, it had served to callous her psyche to the sensation. The closer she got to Yugi's duel, the more riled up it seemed to get – unusual, as both Yami and Yugi tended to appease it.Her drink began to run empty just as she came upon Yugi's duel. He was up against a man she didn't recognize – but he brimmed with evil energy. She resisted the urge to cringe as she looked at him, the evil offensive to her eyes like a sudden burst of sunlight. Instead, she turned her attention to Yugi, and sidled up beside Jou, who was oddly quiet.“What's going on?”“The creep stole my Red Eyes yesterday, and Yugi's trying to win it back.”“Wow. Lost your rarest card before the tournament even started, huh?”“Hey, at least I didn't drop out of the competition. You scared I'd beat you?”She hit him in the chest with the back of her hand. He let out a dramatic “oomph” and rubbed the spot as though she had actually hurt him, before Yugi's duel took a sharp turn.Exodia – though the monster was incredibly dangerous, any deck that relied on the ability to summon one was one bound for failure. Yugi's challenger hardly stood a chance without the ability to summon the creature's head. The heavy pulse in the back of her head seemed to settle the moment Yugi secured his victory, either because it was pleased by his victory, or because it was content to see Exodia prevented from completion.“Kokoro-chan.” Yami nodded as Jou left to find another duel. “You opted out?”“Yeah. Like you said, Yugi-kun doesn't need the distraction. Congratulations, by the way. Strong right out of the gate. I like that in a guy.”Yami flushed the same shade of red as the tips of his hair. She snickered happily as they began to walk through the crowds, which had gathered to watch various duels spread over the closed streets. She passed him a warm cup of coffee, and he took a content sip only to cringe – she had gotten the same sugary mess Yugi drank.“You shouldn't talk like that. You're in a relationship.”“You're the one in his body. I'm allowed to talk however I want.”“I'm not-.” Instead of argue, he sighed. “True enough.”“Speaking of, why haven't you changed back?”“There's danger here. I'm sure you can feel it, too. It's for the best that I remain in control for now.”“Danger is an understatement. It's kind of exciting though.”“How so?”“Well, the spirit in my head responds to danger. The more danger I'm in, the closer it comes to getting out. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to get into trouble, but maybe I'll finally find out what it is.”While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
