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 .
