Power Couple 6

The next day, as classes ended early at lunch, Yarden was more or less the first out of the door. Granted, he sat at the back of the class with Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy, so it wasn't far, but he was still up and out pretty quick.

"Like, what's the rush?" Jasmine huffed, having to speedily power walk to keep up with him.

"Yeah, you're never exactly one for staying in class long, but you tend to leave pretty slowly," Mindy pointed out with a raised eyebrow, "You never really rush…anywhere."

"I heard last night from Zane that Yugi's deck is going on tour and the first stop is here," Yarden slowed down a bit, a bit taller than him they may be, but they had to walk in incredibly short skirts and high heeled ankle boots. The Obelisk female uniform was great for guys to look at and made them look hot as all hell, but it wasn't exactly practical, "It's going to be announced over the intercoms in a bit according to him, I figured we'd skip all that and go get tickets now."

"Wait, really?" Alexis who had just been following along, more used to his whims paused, eyebrows raising and a glimmer of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Yup," Yarden grinned at her, stepping over to wrap his arm around her waist and resting his hand on her stomach, "Not really all that exciting to me, but I knew you'd be super into it, so I figured I'd grab us all some tickets and we can go together."

"What'ya mean not exciting?" Jasmine goggled at him, "That's Yugi's deck! The best duellist like ever, the King of Games himself!"

Huh…even Jasmine put that much stock in seeing it?

"And?" one of his eyebrows rose in question, "It's just some cards at the end of the day, and not any I really have an interest in now since I already have the only card in his deck that would be worth checking out."

'Aw master, you're making me blush~' Dark Magician Girl tittered in his head.

'I meant Curse of Dragon.' Yarden deadpanned.

He still wasn't happy with her for daring to insinuate a man who wore a spiked choker and leather pants, and who looked like he came straight out of a bdsm submissive club was more manly than him.

He'd show her once he could get his hands on her! It wouldn't be long now until he acclimated fully to Relinquished's power and he could bond with Dark Magician Girl.

Then, not only would she be able to guide him through using his energy for different purposes easier, he would give her that spanking she so deserved.

'Sure you did~' she giggled, 'And can't wait master, let's see if you have the guts. Besides, I never said that, I only said if you measure manliness in girls, Atem had way more than you. He had hundreds, you have one human girl, two maybe's and me. If you measure in power, he also beats you. Though if you measure in muscles, you win.'

Tch.

That still meant he lost in two out of three categories.

'So competitive~' she giggled again, fondly.

"Of course your only interest would be Dark Magician Girl out of Yugi's deck," Alexis snorted, "Don't you feel any sense of awe at all, it's the best deck in the entire world, with it even a complete amateur could very well defeat pro's."

"Debateable," Yarden pulled her gently into his side with a smirk, "After all, I'm pretty sure I could take it and Yugi." he boasted confidently.

Especially if it was the same one used in the original timeline that Jaden fought. Yarden would clap the shit out of that deck with his. Dimitri would be lucky to last three turns if it were that one. That deck was no threat without the god cards.

…It would be a lot tougher if it was the deck he saw him use last against Kaiba though after he learned about the new variations of cards he had from Dark Magician Girl.

That shit was whack. Most of Yugi's iconic monsters like his magnet warriors, magician girls and shit had all new powerful variations. Dude even had two new versions of Gandora and who knew what else since he hadn't been in much public duels since his last one against Kaiba that got interrupted and cut off.

Not to mention there was apparently a whole archetype around one of the cards and fusions he got from Dark Magician Girl, Aleister the Invoker that seemed to be a pretty nasty archetype to duel against.

"There you go again running your mouth," Jasmine snorted, "You proved us wrong before, so I'm not willing to say you don't have a chance, but do you really believe in your own hype that much?" she asked, casting a brief frown at his arm around Alexis' waist before meeting his eyes.

His smirk just grew, "Baby, I am the hype." he shot back, and held his other arm out for her, inviting to come into his embrace.

Her frown deepened and she shook her head, denying him, "Somebody really needs to beat you soon before your head gets any bigger and you float off into space," she rolled her eyes, continuing on as if their little silent exchange never happened, "It's not as cute as I remember it being in the beginning."

"That's just cuz' he's dating Lexi now." Mindy pointed out with an impish grin, and took him up on his offer in Jasmine's stead, stepping into his arm and wrapping it around her waist.

"I dunno, I think I'd pay to see him duel someone good enough to beat him," Alexis smirked over his shoulder at her black haired friend, "Might cool him off a bit and be a good learning experience at the same time."

"Ouch," Yarden mock winced, tightening his grip slightly around both girls waists and forcing them to begin walking with him, "Excuse me while I storm off in a tantrum to brood."

"You'd have to let go of us first for that genius." Alexis rolled their eyes.

"Yeah, see, I thought about it for a split second, and decided that brooding isn't worth letting go of my super hot girlfriend and her hot friend," he shrugged, "I'll just have to not be an edgy wimp and deal with emotions normally."

"Hey, why does Lexi get super hot and I only get hot?" Mindy pouted.

"Probably because he's seen me in my underwear, that or special treatment." Alexis shrugged.

Mindy blinked, "Huh…okay, fair enough."

"Wait, already!?" Jasmine shouted, shocked.

Yarden smirked all the way to the card shop.
