The Pharaoh's Rose (Atem/Yami Yugi x Reader)

Season 1; Episode 6

==============================================

You and the gang were walking around the island. They were all pretty happy things turned out well.

As for Yugi...

"Hey, (y/n)!" Yugi turned at you with a gentle smile, "Tea told me how good you were at the duel!"

He's the plain, old Yugi you met at the boat.

You were a bit shocked when you saw Yugi being....Yugi. You asked how he has been and he said he was doing fine, he even felt happy that he beat Weevil in the duel.

So maybe that weird sense from earlier was just you panicking? No, you felt something was...up with this boy.

Besides, if you were making up that feeling then the Seal would be laughing their head off, right? Besides, the Seal didn't like Yugi during that time, so that means you weren't imagining things. So what is going on?

"Well, now that's aside it's time for me to have my own duel. I've been aching for one since we got here!" Joey pumped his fists together with a smirk, "The next player is mine to beat!" He said with enthusiasm and ran up a hill,

"You know, I'm not so sure Joey is up for this." Tea mumbled

"Yeah, there are some really good duelists over here." Tristan agreed, "But don't you think he's smart enough to realize-"

"Y'all are looking at the next Duel Monsters Champion guys!" Joey interrupted Tristan with a big smile. You gave a small laugh as Tea facepalmed,

"He needs a reality check." She mumbled.

"He's as smart as he looks..." Tristan sighed,

"Well I think he's got a lot of potential." You crossed your arms with a smile. Yugi laughed,

"I agree with (y/n), he's got lots of potential. I mean, he's fighting for his sister."

"His sister?" You looked at Yugi,

"Yeah, you see, his sister, Serenity, has an operation for her eyes because her eyes are really bad at the moment. So when Joey wins, he can get the prize money and pay for the operation." Yugi explained,

"So everyone here has a deep reason why they want to win except for me?" You asked with a nervous laugh. Yugi laughed,

"Guess so." He nodded his head.

"Do you not have a goal for the tournament?" Tea asked,

"No, not at all." You shook your head with a small grin, "I came just to fight some really good duelists and go home."

"Well that's normal for most duelists, right?" Tristan asked,

"Yeah, it's just that most of us here don't have good luck as we anticipated." Yugi nodded his head.

"Ooh! Guys look over there!" Tea pointed over down the hill and you looked to see lots of duel stadiums up and running.

"Whoa...so many duels!" Tristan said with awe,

"You said it, Tristan." Yugi said with a smile,

"Alright guys I am goin' in," Joey clenched his fists.

"You sure you want to do this? If you lose you give up your only Star Chip." Tristan looked at Joey,

"That's right." Tea nodded and Joey turned pale and collapsed as a result.
