Days of curse?

Danny woke up the next morning and had to think about what had happened the day before. Her memories of yesterday evening had faded for a brief moment, but the first images reappeared after about five minutes.
She held her head lightly and looked around. The girl fully believed that Yami left after falling asleep. Since he was not in her room at that moment either, she did not consider that he had stayed here in the hospital. That's why she was shocked when suddenly the door opened and the said was there.
"Yami?", She asked and he grinned at her: "Morning" "Why are you not at home?", Asked the little one and looked at him very carefully because she had a strange feeling. "I was here all night," said Yami, surprised that she hadn't noticed. "You were here all night? In my room? In my bed?", Her voice grew hoarse and a slight touch of panic resonated. But the person opposite only raised an eyebrow and said: "Was it so bad that I slept next to you?" "N-no," she stuttered and blushed, "II just meant ...", she broke off and looked embarrassed at her bedspread. He eyed her with interest: "If you don't want to, I can go again." She quickly raised her head and shouted: "No!"
A smile crossed his face and he sat down by her bed again. "I have to tell you that Seto Kaiba is hosting a new tournament soon ... in Battle City ... that is, I won't see you for a while if you're in the hospital for a long time." For the second time in two days there was melancholy in his voice. Danielle hugged him and whispered to him: "Now stop spreading such sadness here! You are not going away forever! Besides, I will come to you as soon as possible"
This was supposed to cheer him up, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. "YAMI!" She complained and looked at him reproachfully. He was still looking at her sadly and thoughtfully until she punched him in the side. "Ouch," he said, holding onto this. “That wouldn't have been necessary!” “Apparently it was,” she laughed and slumped into her pillow. Then he grumbled very softly, so that Danny could just hear it: "No, it wouldn't be". He sounded defiant, like a petulant little child.
This only made her laugh, which is why he looked even grimmer. "Don't look like that!" She urged him with tears in her eyes. His features relaxed a little before he stood up. “Where are you going?” This time it was Danny's voice that resonated with sadness. "I'm going home ... I told Yugi's grandfather what happened and that I wanted to stay here tonight, but I wanted to be back a long time ago." Her gaze fell again and she nodded: "Then we'll see you again soon "This time a nod from him.Then he gave her another kiss before he disappeared from the room.
The next two weeks turned out to be the most boring ever. No one, except Kari, came to see them, as the gang had gone to Battle City. She watched a few duels on her laptop, but it was actually only Yami's duels that she followed. She didn't care that much about Joeys.
On the day she was released, she felt more free than ever. Yami had told her where the meeting point for the finalists of the tournament was and she took a taxi to get there. When she got there, she was amazed because a huge airship soared into the sky in front of her. 'It was actually clear', the little girl rolled her eyes inwardly and searched the place for familiar faces. Danielle spotted Yami, who was on his way to the airship with the rest of the gang. "Yami!", She called and he immediately turned around when he heard his girlfriend's voice. "Danny", his eyes shone at her name and he took a few steps in her direction before she hugged him and he gave her a kiss. Tea's mouth fell open while the others just stared at the spectacle in disbelief.
"II you're together," said Tea, shocked, who looked like she was about to pass out. "Yes", Danny said defiantly and Joey interjected: "So you and Yugi?" Shaking her head, she corrected him: "No me and the Pharaoh" "Ah," said Joey, but still didn't get it.
So they got into the airship and entered a large room in which - what was to be expected - Seto Kaiba was standing. Danielle's gaze fell on an Egyptian standing nearby. When she saw him, she paused and he also gave a look of disbelief. 'No! That can't be, 'the little girl shot through her head before she turned back to Yami and pretended nothing had happened.
After a speech from Seto, everyone went to their rooms. Danny paused in the hallway while the others inspected their rooms. 'He's here ... I thought I wouldn't see him anymore,' flashed her mind and leaned against the wall. Looking at her bandage, which she always wore around her right arm, she sank into her thoughts until a voice brought her back to the present: "Hello Danielle" She looked up in amazement and her eyes darkened. "Hello M ..." "Woe to you say my name," he hissed and pulled the millennium rod. For a moment, the little one scowls at this and then pushed it aside with her hand because the person opposite had held it in front of her nose. "Leave me alone ... I haven't forgotten that from back then," she said and turned to leave. "You know that I never had anything to do with it," said Marik, who now leaned casually against the wall. "I meant the fact about the tower," she grumbled and turned back to him. "Then why should I leave you alone?I am still in your debt "" If you really want to settle this, then leave Yami alone! "There was a laugh from his side:" You can forget that "" Don't bother me, "she grumbled," or did you forget what happened to your father? "Marik hesitated for a moment before answering:" I haven't forgotten, thank you "" Well ... then you should think carefully about what you are doing, "she grinned nastily." Until then "She left without another To lose word.
Marik also went to his room and wondered what Danny had said to him. Restlessly he sat down on the bed and looked at the opposite wall. 'I should really be careful ... she's not to be trifled with,' he thought to himself and a very specific day came to mind. He shook his head quickly to get his mind free again.
Danny stepped quietly into Yami's room and, at Yami's invitation, fell down on the bed next to him. She also fell asleep very quickly, but was plagued by an all-too-familiar nightmare.
The first duels on the airship passed quickly and soon they should land on the island where the final was to take place. To the horror of the clique, Ishizu had also taken part in the tournament, but failed against Kaiba on the airship.
A four-way duel between Yami, Kaiba, Marik and Joey took place on the island. In this it should be decided who would compete against whom. The first two who would lose in this duel would have to compete against each other.
And those two were Joey and Marik. Their duel took place immediately afterwards, which went out in favor of Marik. Then the duel between Yami and Kaiba took place. As everyone expected, Yami won and now had to face Marik.
The fair-haired man stood a little absent at the window of his room and looked up at the tower on which the decisive duel would take place. A sigh escaped his lips and he did not notice that there was a person in the door who had been watching him the whole time. She entered and put a letter on his table as quietly as possible. Only when he heard the door slam into the lock did Yami turn around. 'Was there someone just now? ", he asked himself and only after a few minutes discovered the letter, on the envelope of which it was written in beautiful writing:To Yami

Amazed, he took the thick envelope and opened it carefully. Immediately a piece of paper fell towards him that was written in black ink:

Dear Yami,
First of all, I wish you luck in the duel against Marik. As I am sure you know, it will be very difficult to defeat him. But there is something I haven't told you: Marik is my cousin. If you win, which I really hope, I'll tell you the whole story ...
But now to the real reason why I am writing this letter to you: You actually have no chance against the winged dragon of Ra. But I know a way to defeat him.There is a card in this envelope that will surely help you. But play it wisely. To explain it: You can play it as a magic, trap or monster card. It can destroy anything, so be careful! Therefore it has neither attack nor defense points. I got them from Pegasus in the Kingdom of Duelists. This was in the package I received from him.
It has ten stars, but it doesn't need sacrifices. A very special card so please take care of it.
We'll see each other again after the duel,
Danny

Surprised, Yami took the said card out of the envelope and looked at it:Orion, creator of the earth.
He quickly packed her into his deck, but still wondered why Danny hadn't said anything about Marik being her cousin. He left the room quietly. Now everything would be decided.
