28 Tagging Up 2

Ten days came and went in relative peace for Yarden. The only hiccup really had been his transference into the Obelisk Dormitory.

The other blues, weren't quite so accepting. Most of them at least. It seemed that the duel against Zane had been taken off the record. According to Crowler, it was because there were many talent scouts and investors who had their eyes on Zane, and Crowler wanted to keep the duel off the record, at least until Zane signed a contract with sponsors for the Pro Circuit for when he graduated.

If it was to save face or something. Yarden probably would have been a bit miffed, but, honestly, since the guy was just trying to look out for his students prospects, he let it go.

It helped that he didn't really care about being known to have defeated Zane at this time by the overall populace. The important people knew after all, Zane himself, the teachers, and his three favorite eye candies in Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy.

And Crowler had made sure to explain to any complainers that his promotion to Obelisk Blue was legitimate, both with how high he scored on the exams and his frequent easy defeats of many an Obelisk Blue. And that, if Yarden did not belong in the Obelisk Blue dorm, what did that say about all those he had scored vastly higher than and easily defeated day after day? Even made a snide little comment about how they should be in Slifer then.

It got the main complainers to shut their asses up, not wanting to draw those labels to themselves. It didn't mean though that they were content to let things go. Two or three of them challenged him to duels a day, he didn't even need to go out searching for them, they came to him.

Yarden sighed, leaning back on the large, comfortable green couch within his dorm, "This is gonna take a while." he mused.

Spread out on the glass table in front of him, were a variety of cards from his collection, most of spirit card not within his main deck spread out beside them.

He'd been at it every night for the past week. Trying to build a series of decks to let him use the monsters. But, there were honestly just too few of them, especially with how only a few of them could work well together in a theme deck. Even with the extra cards he'd picked up from drawing sandwiches at the card shop. He'd refrained from buying anything since he was waiting on the Dark Paladin card arriving that Sadie put an order out for, and he'd need enough to buy it.

He'd gotten ten cards in total. Serial Spell, Flint, Graceful Charity, Royal Decree, Pyramid Turtle, Hyena, Rescue Cat, Spell Absorption, Re-Fusion and Forced Ceasefire.

There were some pretty good cards in there, but not enough to cover up for the glaring lack of synergy between his spirits.

"Any ideas?" he turned to his left, eyeing the orange haired slip of a girl in a tattered blue dress sitting on the couch beside him, with room to spare. Like seriously, the couch was semi circular and over ten feet long.

The room itself was something right out of a five star hotel penthouse. Fifty feet by fifty feet. A huge king sized bed. A sixty inch television straight across from the couch. The Slifer's got a crappy PC per room, where as this room came with a top of the line laptop. The freaking television even had cable!

He even had expensive glass doors that led out to a sprawling, immaculately designed balcony.

"No, sorry." Unhappy Maiden shook her head, a small smile on her face.

Well that much was expected. She wasn't much into it at all. Honestly, she just seemed happy to be included.

"You know master, you don't need to try so hard to make separate decks to include us all," Dreamsprite pitched in, the nude curvy blue skinned, orange haired spirit lazily floating in the air above him, "You're stressing out too much thinking of ways to include us. We won't blame you for maining the deck you've already made. You should just use us as you did before and use the dragon deck you made for important fights. Maybe switch one or two of us in here and there if we fit for who you're dealing."

This room was so much bigger than his old one back at the Slifer Red dorm, as such, he could freely let his spirits out and about as much as they wanted without crowding the room.

Honestly, most of them were out and about right now. Catnipped Kitty, Blade Rabbit and Marron were curled up on his bed. Larvae Moth was actually coiled around the lamp for some reason. Petit Angel, Marmot and Griggle were playing what he assumed was tag. Skull Servant was on his laptop, while Goblin Calligrapher sat on the desk beside the purple clad skeleton monster and drawing on a piece of paper.

Petit Dragon, Baby Dragon, Decoy Dragon and Fairy Dragon were all outside on the balcony, play fighting in the air and having a blast, and the balcony was actually big enough for both of his Winged Dragon's to snooze under the stars and night sky. Lesser Dragon was sleeping as well, curled up in the corner of the bedroom. Really, beyond fighting, his dragons sure did love sleeping.

Relinquished wasn't out and about. Despite appearances, it was quite the shy monster and preferred to stay in its card most of the time. And sadly, Hyozanryu was just too big to be out and about in the immediate vicinity, and Serpent Night Dragon was out once again searching for Dark Magician Girl.

"Think so?" Yarden bit his lip, "I made you guys a promise remember, that I wouldn't be like those idiots that couldn't see your worth."

"I know, and we love you for it master," Dreamsprite giggled, flapping her orange wings and lazily gliding down to land on his lap, he tensed slightly for a second, drawing another giggle from the blue skinned beauty before relaxing, "But just because you can't find ways to use us right now, doesn't mean you're breaking your promise to us. It's enough to use us casually like you did before, and that you know our worth."

"Agreed," an airy voice said, before two lithe green arms wrapped around his neck and blue hair appeared in his vision as Spirit Of The Breeze rubbed her cheek gently against his own, "All things considered, I prefer just being with master over dueling anyway."

"..Well, if you guys say so," Yarden replied, letting loose a sigh of relief and relaxing into the couch, "I could definitely get used to this I admit." he chuckled, eyes drawn to the nude blue skinned spirit in his lap. She wasn't anywhere near as bodacious as Alexis, Jasmine or Mindy, she was more svelte in build, but that didn't make her slight curves at all unappealing, and the exotic blue skin made her even more beautiful.

Dreamsprite giggled again and gently grasped one of his hands, lifting it up to cup one of her small breasts, "Well if master wants, I don't mind giving you some relief~"

Temptation thy name is Duel Spirit.

Dreamsprite and Spirit Of The Breeze were definitely his most affectionate spirits, of the human variety at least. Dreamsprite was, a chipper, cheery, energy fueled wood nymph at heart, and Spirit Of The Breeze wasn't much better, just being the calmer and more mature of the two.

"Well, if you're offering." Yarden grinned and gave her breast a light squeeze, a small breathy moan escaping her. Was it weird that he was feeling up a spirit that had merged with his very soul? Probably, but he definitely wasn't complaining.

And it would definitely help take the edge off from being around Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy constantly. Especially Alexis, she'd been seeking him out to spend more time with him ever since he spent that day with her at lunch helping her with her deck. That sinful body of hers stretching her uniform out in all sorts of mouth watering ways.

"I think two spirits are better than one," Spirit Of The Breeze mused softly, her green lips pressing a chase kiss against his cheek, "We'll relieve you of all your stress master." she purred softly in his ear.

Just as he was about to reply, a soft pressure on his left arm made him turn his head. Unhappy Maiden was staring at him, a pout on her face, cheeks flushed.

Ah damn.

"Alright, alright, not tonight." he relented. As much as he would love to get his dick wet with his spirits, it wasn't worth upsetting the other ones. Unhappy Maiden was a very shy one, she definitely wouldn't join in, and it would be a total dick move to do when he was spending time with her as well.

"Foiled already huh?" Spirit Of The Breeze mused, a soft laugh leaving her, "Oh well."

Dreamsprite giggled and ground herself into his lap, "Looks like we'll have to try another night master~" she teased.

Her giggles got louder when he reached around her to cup her backside, his fingers sinking into the springy soft rounded cheek. Then yelped when he thrust into her a bit and forced her sprawling off of him. In the past ten days, with his bond to Lessar Dragon being completed and him joining with a bunch of the other spirits, his physical abilities had drastically increased.

Dreamsprite righted herself in the air with a flap of her wings, "Meany!" she stuck her tongue out at him, despite that though, her lips were in a wide smile.

"Nobody's allowed to get a one up on me without my say so." Yarden smirked at him.

A breathy little giggle escaped Unhappy Maiden's lips and Yarden felt his smirk stretch a bit more. She always looked so sad, so when he even got a light little giggle like this out of her, it made him feel happy.

Just then, the PDA sitting on the table beside his cards started ringing loudly. A message.

Leaning over, Yarden picked it up and checked the message. It was from Alexis, and it was a video message?

He opened it up and pressed play.

A second later, it started up and he could see Alexis' face, her eyes wide with panic, sweat trailing down her cheeks and her skin pale, "Yarden, sorry about this, but I need help!" she hurriedly said, "I'm out near the Abandoned Dorm running back towards my own! Some huge guy just came out of nowhere and he tried to grab me! I-" just then, she stumbled, and the message ended.

Yarden was on his feet before he even realized it. He ignored the cards on the table, grabbed his duel disk and ran for the balcony to the surprised stares of many of his spirits. He already had his main deck strapped to his belt after all in his deck box.

A moment later, he was leaping over the balcony railing and dropping a good thirty feet to the ground. As he fell, his spirits turned into beams of light, shooting out from his dorm room and following behind him to submerge into his body, even if only roughly half of them were actually connected to his soul.

His enhanced body absorbed force of his drop easily, landing on his forefeet without problem.
