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

Season 2; Episode 3

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

Honestly you couldn't have been more happier than you are now.

The last time you were this happy was when you finally got permission to join Duelist Kingdom, and that wasn't recent.

You silently approached Kaiba's desk and took the disc, "So rather than telling me about this tournament, you had me wait until you announced it, and waited for me to approach you, just to exclusively give me a disc?" You raised an eyebrow as you took the disc from the suitcase,

"I felt due to you being a special guest, you should be given special treatment. And knowing you would head out downtown, I can't have you going around and telling certain people about my tournament, so I had to keep it classified from you for quite a while." Kaiba answered with a small smirk.

Dick.

"But he's right"

Shut up.

"It's what I do best."

You could feel the sarcasm.

Shrugging it off, you thanked Kaiba and turned to leave the office,

"(y/n)." Kaiba called you. You turned around and looked at him,

"...just because you're here with me doesn't mean you're anything special. You're still going to play with the rules like any ordinary player." He spoke with narrowed eyes,

"Don't need to tell me twice." You scoffed in response and left his office.

Man, his ego is shining like a diamond now a days.

"(y/n)!" You heard Mokuba call with excitement. You turned around and saw Mokuba running over to you, filled with pure excitement and joy,

"You got a disc! You're entering the tournament!"

"You thought I wouldn't?" You put your hands on your hips, "Such cruel thinking!"

"Aha, I knew you would, how could you miss this chance!" Mokuba laughed, "You think you're going to make it to the finals?"

"Of course!" You nodded and ruffled his hair. "What, you think I'm a newbie?"

"I've never seen you actually duel before." Mokuba frowned. You frowned and took a deep breath,

"Because I was dragged around by people and kept in a cage like, all day?" You frowned,

"Ooh, I know how that feels." Mokuba sighs, "Believe me, I do."

"Aha, buddies." You fist bumped Mokuba and walked to your room,

"Have fun, okay?!" Mokuba called out,

"I will~" You nodded and waved him a farewell for the night. You walked in your room and sat on your bed to carefully examine the new disc Kaiba gave you.

Finally, you had the chance to battle.

You only had one battle back in duelist kingdom, and that person surrendered because they felt they weren't strong enough to continue.

That made you feel horrible because they were in fact a good duelist.

You put the disc on your desk and took off your eyepatch. Before heading to bed, you took one good look at your cursed eye.
