Eight years after Dark Side of Dimensions— Kaiba's dimensional ship has finally been perfected, with just one catch: travel between worlds is only possible once a month and for one day, due to dangerous side effects. Yugi can't be happier. A long-distance relationship across dimensions is much more than he ever dreamed possible. But time is unforgiving, and love grows, and builds, and takes root, until something has to give. Because Yugi and Atem were never meant to love each other from a distance.

Summary
"Only four copies of the Blue Eyes White Dragon are known to exist. Of course, they were in the hands of fanatic collectors around the world. I searched them out. One in America, one in Hong Kong, one in Germany. None of them agreed when I told them to hand it over… so I used a bit of force. I used my wealth to force them to bankruptcy, made deals with the mafia... one of them even committed suicide!"
- Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel 027
__Shortly after Gozaburo’s death, Seto Kaiba travels to New York to sell off KaibaCorp’s arms cache to a reluctant mafiosa holding one of the four Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

Summary
Music has the power to awaken both memory and emotion, two traits Atem and Yuugi deeply shared. Five melodies act as a key, unlocking a moment from the past each. And with every memory that resurfaces, a wave of feeling follows, tying the sound to something lived and felt.
AKA
Five times Atem and Yuugi almost get caught having sex at the "Symphony of Duel" event. And of course, one time they are.
