A few months have passed after Kokujo's latest adventure . His brother Hakuoh had some work to do so he left from the city without anyone knowing when he'll come back . Also Yaesal died because of an illness .

Flashback

At the temple of Duel Masters , Yaesal was lying on his bed and Malice was taking care of him . He was coughing awfully .

" Malice , my time has come " he said and coughed .

" Yaesal-sama , you shouldn't speak " Malice said .

" I have to......Malice take the Proof of Duelmaster ! " Yaesal continued and gave it to her

" Y-Yaesal-sama are you sure ? " she asked shocked .

" Since my last disciple Shori Kirifuda is busy evreywhere , you're the one wich I give this important mission ! Malice , from now on you're the Priestess of the Duel Masters Temple ! Your duty is to take care of the Proof of Duelmaster ! Make sure that no one gets his/her hands on it.........." he said and closed his eyes .

Malice buried Yaesal's body and after that she made major changes to the Temple . She brought more apprentices and also she destroyed a big part of it , letting only a small building similar to a monastery left . After this , she took care of the Proof of Duelmaster in her own way .

Whenever someone came to steal the proof , she took care of him or her .

" I summon Gajirabute Vile Centurion and throw your last shield to the graveyard ! Demonic Lord Death Maniac totomeda ! "

" I use Jumazohl's effect and now all my Grand Devils are Demon Commands so Sealed Devil Erigol evolve into Ballom , Master of Death ! Ballom will destroy all your creatures and now Jumazohl breack his final shields ! Ballom totomeda ! "

" I attack with Daidalos and destroy Fuuma Bajir ! Now I'll destroy your Aqua Guard ! Also my Trash Train lets me draw 2 cards ! Ike Daidalos breack his final shields ! Super Trash Train Fuuma Devil totomeda ! "

And so on......

She never gave up and kept defeating those who dared to try to steal the Proof .

But then in one winter day .

Malice was having a bath inside the Temple . As she was washing her hair , some strange figure was staring at her from a tree . She then stopped washing her hair and said :

" You can get out of your hideout , whoever you are ! "

Then the figure jumped off the tree and entered the Temple . It was Kokujo !

" Kokujo , what a surprise to see you here ! " she said and put some shampoo on her hair

" Malice , I hope you don't mind if I came to visit you , you haven't came home for some time " Kokujo said .

" No problem , but I have an important mission , to take care of the Proof of Duelmaster "

" Speak no more " Kokujo said and gave her a white flower " It has been under that tree ready to get killed by that snow . Luckyly I saved it "

" Oh my , it's so beautiful " she said and took it .

And so the days at the temple were more beautiful for the girl because of Kokujo . No more duelists tried to steal the Proof for some time . The only people wich were coming to the Temple were children . When the children were visiting the Temple , Malice was playing with them , while Kokujo was hiding in a tree . Kokujo didn't like to socialize with people and also none of the apprentices from the Temple knew he was there . All the day he was sitting in trees admiring Malice in the rain of cherry flower petals . Only on full moon nights the two met and spent time together .

Then on one full moon night , Malice and Kokujo were having a ride on the river with a boat . They watched the full moon shine high upon the heavens, reflecting its pure white light on the dark sea . Kokujo was rowing while Malice was telling him stories . Then she started speaking serious .

" Kokujo , do you want all the suffering to stop ? " she asked .

" Malice........of course I want " Ko whispered .

" Then I can do something to help you "

" Huh ? What ? "

" I can give up the rank Yaesal-sama gave to me and use the Proof of Duelmaster to make a better life for us . In exchange I'll be free of my duties and your enemies will dissapear for good ! What do you say ? "

" Malice......would you do it for me ? "

A few minutes there was silence . Malice was still staring at the moon .

" Poor Kokujo , he's hiding from his enemies and from my apprentices like the moon hides from the sun in the night . I really must stop this ! " she said in her mind .

Then the boat reached the shore . The two got out of it , but Malice tripped . Kokujo catched her in his arms . The two stared in their eyes and then kissed .

The next day they were about to start Malice's plan , but something happened and Malice didn't come at the place they planned . Then Kokujo decided that he'll take the Proof by himself and use it .

He then ran fast towards the Temple and without anyone seeing him , he entered and stole the Proof . He then ran with it and the apprentices saw him . They went after him and in the end he got cornered .

" Hey , you thief , give the Proof back ! " one of the apprentices demanded .

" Heh , I challenge you losers to a duel ! " Ko replied .

After lots of turns .

" Sealed Devil Garmagias totomeda ! "

" Shiver of Sealed Devil Jumazohl totomeda ! "

" Romanoff the 1st , Lord of the Demonic Eye totomeda ! "

" Daidalos , General of Fury totomeda ! "

" Death Dragerion , the Supernova totomeda ! "

" Super Necrodragon Abzo Dolba totomeda ! "

" Supernova Neptune Shuthorm totomeda ! "

" Dorballom , Lord of Demons totomeda ! "

All the apprentices fell down hurt . Kokujo then ran in the forest . While he was running , he looked at the Proof and said :

" The Proof of Duelmaster ! This thing will give me the thing I want ! "

Then he heared a yell :

" KOKUJO !!!! "

When he turned his back , an arrow hit his heart sticking his body to a tree and he also dropped the Proof . He was shocked when he saw who did that . It was Malice !

" Malice , how could you ? " he said shocked and closed his eyes .

Malice took the Proof in her hands but then her wound from her left shoulder started bleeding hard .

" Malice-sama ! " the apprentices yelled and ran to her .

" Here , take the Proof and destroy it ! " she said and fell down dead .

Before the apprentices could touch the Proof , it got absorbed in Malice's dead body .

All the apprentices could do was to bury her body and turn the Temple into a training center .
