Extra 18: It's time to d-d-d-d-duel (1)
Kurama let out a heavy sigh before shaking his head and deciding to investigate the surroundings, though his expression changed when he felt a burning on his hand, right where Hagoromo had placed the mark of the sun during his encounter with Kaguya - "What is this?"
The white haired young man looked at his hand and noticed how it had a very small fox tattoo, though the surprises didn't end there, he watched as something materialized in front of him, and from what he could see, they looked like a strange deck of cards - "Okay, this isn't the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me, but it's still fucking crazy..."
Kurama shook his head before taking the cards and starting to go through them, when he felt someone walking in his direction.
"I see you have a deck, would you be interested in testing it with me?" - The man in his early 20s asked. He had the craziest hair Kurama had ever seen during his travels through different dimensions, spiky black hair with golden, red-edged front locks.
"Who are you?" - Kurama asked with a frown because he could sense something strange about this guy, and at the same time something familiar, not because he knew him, but because he could sense that this guy had gone through something similar to him.
"You don't know me?" - Said the strange-haired young man in surprise.
"No" - Kurama replied as he shook his head.
"I guess that makes you the person my friends have been telling me about" - said the strange haired young man as silhouettes appeared around him.
Kurama raised an eyebrow as he watched those illusory figures surround the young man, though he quickly shook his head.
"My name is Yugi Muto, and I am the King of Games" - Yugi said with a small smile - "It's a pleasure to meet you, stranger from another dimension."
Kurama raised an eyebrow when he heard this - "I guess I'm not the first dimensional traveler you've met."
"Yes, you're not the first, and I don't think you're the last either" - Yugi replied with a small smile - "Though I feel you're different from the rest, I can even sense a huge power in your deck."
"?" - Kurama raised an eyebrow before looking at his deck and noticing something familiar in the cards - "Oh, I see, these cards are a manifestation of my power..."
Yugi let the white-haired young man acknowledge his situation before he could speak - "Are you alright?"
"Yes, it's just that it's the first time I've experienced this kind of situation, even with all the trips I've taken" - Kurama replied while shaking his head.
"Do you want me to explain your situation?" - Yugi asked because he could see that this guy was not like the other dimension travelers he had met, this he thought because Kurama didn't seem to have knowledge about the game of the [Duel Monsters].
"Please" - Kurama nodded as he listened to everything Yugi could explain to him.
Kurama started to check his deck once again while reading carefully so as not to miss any details.
"Ok, I understand what I have to do with these cards, although now I'm confused" - Kurama said with a frown.
"Oh? What are you puzzled about?" - asked Yugi calmly.
"The truth is that this deck is a manifestation of my true power, it is made from the experiences of my youth" - replied Kurama with a frown - "I guess this is why I have rejuvenated a few years, now my question is, how do I regain my abilities, so I can return home?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that" - Yugi replied as he shook his head, though his expression changed when he saw how the 16-17 year old, seemed to have rejuvenated a few more years - ". . ."
"Great, I'm 13 now..." - Kurama said sarcastically. He quickly checked his deck and noticed how more cards had appeared, only these had very different colors - "I better find the solution fast, or I'm going to end up a baby..."
"I think you better solve the problem the way we do it in this dimension" - Yugi said after thinking about it for a few seconds.
"How?" - Kurama asked with a frown.
"With duels, of course" - replied Yugi while pointing at the blond's cards - "I don't know what's wrong with you, but if you have a deck, that means you can have a duel, maybe that's the answer, after all, I've saved the world multiple times playing [Duel Monsters]."
"You know what? That's the most meaningful thing I've heard since I came to this place" - Kurama said while shaking his head.
"Do you want to give it a try?" - Yugi asked as he took the suitcase he had been carrying and opened it, revealing two strange devices - "This is a duel disc, I think it's obvious what it's for."
Kurama raised an eyebrow before taking the disc and putting it in the same way as his opponent.
"Well, the first thing you have to do is shuffle your deck, put it in this compartment and then draw 5 cards" - Yugi said as he did as he said.
"Ok, then what..." - Kurama said with slight interest, though this was because he could feel how the strange effect surrounding his body, stopped. Such it seemed that Yugi's words were correct, and their problem would be solved through dueling.
"Then you have to decide who goes first, and since I'm the one teaching you, I guess it's logical that I'm the one to start" - replied Yugi while drawing a card - "First there is the draw phase, here the player on turn draws a card from your deck, and remember, you can only take one, unless you have a card that allows you to draw more."
"Ok" - nodded Kurama calmly.
"Then we move on to the first main phase, here we can summon our monster, though these have to be level 4 or lower, unless they have effects that say otherwise, we can also do more than one special summon if we meet the necessary conditions" - continued Yugi as he placed a monster in attack position - "I summon the {Magician's Valkyrie} in attack mode!"
Yugi summoned a pretty girl with light brown hair who was wearing green armor.

[Magician's Valkyrie]
Monsters controlled by your opponent cannot select for attacks on face-up Spellcaster Type monsters, except for this one.
Atk: 1600/Def 1800

"Then I activate, [Double Summon] so I can have a second normal summon this turn, and use it to summon my second [Magician's Valkyrie] into attack position" - Yugi continued as he summoned a second copy of his monster - "Then I put a card face down and end my turn."
Kurama analyzed Yugi's movements and nodded - "I see, as you said, you made two summons thanks to the effect of your magic card, then you put two monsters that can protect each other, so you can defend yourself, and finally you put a card face down, possibly a battle trap... Am I right?"
Yugi was surprised to hear the analysis because despite not being something difficult to deduce, it was impressive for a novice - "Correct, as for my face down card, it may not necessarily be a battle card, it could also be a quick play magic, a counter trap , or simply a disruption card."
"I see..." - Kurama muttered before drawing a card - "I summon [Ninja Kitsune Kurama] in attack mode."
In front of Kurama, a handsome white-haired man appeared wearing a blue kimono and had a long fox tail along with two furry ears sticking out over his head.

[Ninja Kitsune Kurama]
When this card is normal or special summoned, you can search for a [Jutsu] card in your deck and put it in your hand, if this card is [Jutsu: Kage Bunshin], you can draw an extra card, you can only use the effect of [Ninja Kitsune Kurama] once per turn.
Atk: 1500/Def: 1500

"Thanks to your effect, I can search for a [Jutsu] card in my deck, and I choose [Jutsu: Kage Bunshin]" - Kurama said calmly - "And thanks to it being this card, I can draw another card from my deck."
"Awesome" - nodded Yugi as he looked at his opponent.
"Now, I special summon from my hand [Ninja Kitsune Kushina]" - Kurama said as he placed next to his first monster, a beautiful red-haired woman. She had long hair and was wearing a ninja outfit that could barely cover her seductive body.
* * *
[Ninja Kitsune Kushina]
This card can be special summoned to the field, as long as you have [Ninja Kitsune Kurama]. When this card is special summoned, you can search for a [Kekkei Genkai] equipment card from your deck, and if this card is [Kekkei Genkai: Kongo Fusa], you can draw a card, you can only activate the effects of [Ninja Kitsune Kushina], once per turn.
Atk: 1000/Def: 1000

"Thanks to Kushina's effect, I can search for an equipment card [Kekkei Genkai], and I decide to take [Kekkei Genkai: Kongo Fusa]" - Kurama said while showing him the card - "And she has the same effect as Kurama, I can draw a card if I specifically choose [Kongo Fusa]."
Yugi was impressed at how versatile his opponent's deck was, although it wasn't like it was the first time he had faced an opponent with tricky cards, not to mention that he had yet to break through his defense.
