In the assembly room, everyone was gathered once more to hear the announcement of the next match-up. When Yugi saw his sister come in, he walked up to her. "Akia! How are you feeling? How is Bakura-kun?"

"I'm feeling great! And Bakura's resting," she answered her brother.

Yugi noticed the big smile on her face and raised an eyebrow.

"Did something good happen in there with Bakura-kun, Akia-chan?" Mai came up to her and teased her. Akia gave a small nod. The others had joined up with them too.

"Something good...? Tell me what happened!" Jounouchi grinned and gave Akia his signature headlock.

"Ah! Let go! You're messing my hair!" Akia yelled out at her friend.

"Just start dating, already! You and Bakura-kun are so cute together," Anzu told her.

"I would, but it's a bit complicated..." The red-eyed girl answered.

"I'm curious about the good thing that happened too," Shizuka wondered.

"Did you go all the way? No wait, that would've been way too quick," Otogi asked.

"Have some self-decency, Otogi!" Honda told him off.

"Calm down, all of you! We just kissed... once... With the real Ryou this time!" Akia replied.

Marik, who was standing not too far from the group, felt a pang of jealousy in his chest. He didn't know if it was because another man had kissed her or if it was because, this time, she was a lot happier than the last time about it.

"This time?! So it's not the first time! I knew you got game, girl!" Mai cheered her friend on.

They all kept teasing her until Isono finally spoke up to get everyone's attention. "May I have everyone's attention please. The next draw for the upcoming duel will now commence. Ultimate Bingo, start!"

The same process as the first time unfolded and the first number was revealed.

"First Duelist, Number 1, Kaiba Seto-sama!" Isono called out.

"Yeah, it's your turn, big brother!" Mokuba cheered.

Akia and Jounouchi looked at each other.

"I wouldn't mind going against Mr. Arrogant," Akia said to her friend.

"Nah, he's mine. I can't wait to beat him in a duel," Jounouchi replied.

The organizer of the tournament scoffed, "I have no business with either of you weaklings. If you think you can defeat me with no God Card of your own, you're sorely mistaken."

"What'd you say, asshole?!" The blond young man snapped back.

"Calm down, big brother!"Shizuka told her brother.

Akia chose to ignore Kaiba's comments, confident in her abilities enough to know she could take on anyone in the tournament.

"The next number is... Number 4, Jounouchi Katsuya!" Isono proceeded.

"Wait, huh?!" Even though he was talking big, Jounouchi was taken aback after hearing his name being called out.

"Big brother, it's your turn!" Shizuka was really excited to finally get to see her brother duel for real.

"Tsk," Kaiba clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Hey! Don't think I'll go easy on you!" Jounouchi shouted at the arrogant young man.
