Shadgirl2: Hey, everybody. Sorry about the slow-down with my other two stories. I've been having a lot of issues the last few months, and Midna Azusa just graduated from college, so she's been busy looking for a job.

Midna: Yeah, so we haven't had a lot of time to work on writing duels, especially given that Shadgirl2 doesn't feel comfortable with her knowledge of Ed's deck.

Shadgirl2: So, to hold you over while we try to get things back in order for updating those two, we've got another story we're going to start up! There aren't any duels in this one, so it shouldn't reach any slow-downs.

Midna: This story's told in first-person POV, with shifts whenever necessary. When the viewpoint changes, the new narrator's name will appear in bold on top. Also, spirits talking are in italics and quotes. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: We don't own Yugioh GX. Ai belongs to Midna Azusa (see her story Fighting Light and Darkness for more information on Ai).

Judai's POV

Man, I get myself into some pretty crazy situations. Probably one of the craziest was the time I got trapped on an island by a crazy woman who claimed she was in love with me. How did that happen, you ask? Well, let's just say, it wouldn't have if not for a certain fiend I know very well.

My name's Judai Yuki. I'm a Duel Academy graduate, though I don't really do much with that education of mine. I once wanted to become the next King of Games. That dream was replaced by a life as a superhero after what happened while I was in school, especially the events of my third year. I won't go into too much detail about what happened, but it changed me a lot.

Six years after graduation, I got a call from a woman who claimed she was in mortal danger. She said someone was threatening to kill her and had tried to in recent days, and she begged me to go to a small island called Isla de la Doncella and help her. So, not one to ignore a cry for help, I boarded a cruise ship headed for the island. With pets not being allowed, I had to leave my cat—who used to belong to a former teacher of mine—behind at a pet hotel.

I thought I'd be back soon.

When I got to the island, it turned out that there was a resort there. Apparently Isla de la Doncella—the Island of the Maiden—is a very popular tourist destination. How did I know this? Well, it was summer, so there were a lot of tourists in tacky Hawaiian shirts and the like. With all the families playing and the people flirting, it was hard to believe that there was anything bad going on anywhere on that island. Regardless, I combed the beaches for the person who called me, just in case she was using the place as cover. After all, with so many witnesses, who would even consider a murder attempt?

She was nowhere near the beach, though, so I headed to the resort nearby in search of her. She had claimed that she was staying in room 6 at the resort hotel. When I knocked, though, the door flew open, and a woman with wavy red hair lunged at me and wrapped me in a hug.

"Judai, darling, I just knew you'd come! You're too much of a gentleman to leave a young lady in need waiting around! You're the greatest, and you look great, too!" she said.

Needless to say, that wasn't what I was expecting from a woman under attack.

I sweat, and asked, "Uh, who are you?"

"My name's Ai, and I'm your future wife!" she said, brown eyes totally serious. "We're perfect for each other!"

Can you say crazy? Yeah, this girl was the very definition. Look that word up in a dictionary, and you'll find a picture of her.

I pushed her off. "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."

"Oh, come now, there's no need to be shy! You'll probably feel a whole lot better after we've spent the night together for the first time."

She grabbed my arm and tried to drag me into her room. I pulled against her, not really wanting to lose my virginity to a crazy red-head, even if the freckles across her nose were kind of cute. I managed to pull away and tried to get back to the reason I was there: her attacker.

"Okay," I said once I was free of her, "let's just focus on why I'm here, okay? You called me saying that you were being threatened. Care to tell me more about that?"

"Oh, that. That was just a clever little ruse, meant to bring you here so we could meet. And it worked like a charm! You're here! I always knew it was meant to be!" She batted her eyes at me, flirtatiously saying, "You know, I think we'd make beautiful babies."

Babies!?

She was crazy, and that was all there was to it! Even crazier than Rei, who dressed up as a boy to get into a school she was too young for so that she could be with the Kaiser!

I turned and ran, planning on getting off this island and away from Ai as fast as I possibly could.

Ai's POV

Hello, everybody. My name's Ai, and I'm from Misgarth! I'm an Aquarius, blood type A, and I must admit, I'm a bit boy-crazy at times. The craziest I ever got about a boy was that time I trapped Judai Yuki on the Isla de la Doncella. Here's how I did it.

After luring him to the island and scaring him off, I pulled out a spell book, not ready to give up easily. No, I don't regularly practice magic, but I learned a thing or two about it in my studies. I looked through the book for a spell I'd seen earlier. I planned to use it to keep Judai from leaving. After all, I'd been prepared for if he reacted poorly to my confession.

The spell worked as follows: it created a barrier around a designated area, preventing any duel spirits in the area from leaving. While that might not sound like it would work all that well, I had done my research about Judai, and I knew for a fact that, during his third year in high school, Judai had fused with a Duel Monster named Yubel for some reason. With that in mind, the spell would work on him because he was half duel monster.

I cast my spell, then headed out to find Judai. After all, he was sure to be curious about why he couldn't leave the island.

Judai's POV

I borrowed a motor boat from the resort's dock to leave. I mean, I wasn't about to wait around for some other means off the island, given that there was a crazy girl there who wanted to sleep with me! I got out into the ocean, then crashed into an invisible wall, which knocked me out of the boat. The boat went on without me.

When I surfaced, I looked to see what I'd crashed into, but there was nothing there. Confused, I kept looking around, wondering what had happened.

Yubel saw something I didn't, though. "Uh, Judai? What are those doing there?"

"Huh?"

I looked around and saw four familiar duel spirits circling the island. The last time I'd seen them was during my class field trip in my second year of school. They were the four Monarchs that had been surrounding Domino City, trapping duel spirits in the town.

"That's not good."

"Think we should check it out?"

"Definitely."

I swam back to shore, planning on looking into this. After all, something was clearly going on here if there was a spirit barrier around the place.

When I got back to shore, Ai was waiting for me, and she looked pretty pleased with herself. There was a wicked gleam in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"What am I doing here? Why, that's simple. I'm letting you know that you aren't leaving here until you marry me!"

I was getting a really bad feeling about where this was going. "What did you do?" I asked, hoping I was wrong.

"I put up a barrier. It only works on Duel Monsters, which isn't a problem since you're half Duel Monster. In other words, you aren't getting off this island unless I lower the barrier, and I'm not doing that until you agree to marry me!"

Oh, yeah, she was crazy, alright. She'd trapped me to force me to marry her!

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in marriage."

Instead, I turned back to the barrier, planning on breaking through any way that I could. I summoned Elemental Hero Neos, using my powers to make him real, and had him attack the barrier. The attack bounced off, heading back at me.

I jumped out of the way, barely dodging.

As I got back to my feet, Ai started laughing.

"Silly Judai! Don't you know there's a barrier defending the guardians? Nothing you do will reach them. Any monster attack, spell effect, or trap card effect will just bounce off, right back at you. If you don't want to get hurt, I'd recommend giving up now." She looked at me as though she had already won and added, "Come now, would marrying me really be that bad?"

Well, yeah, it would. There was somebody else I was way more interested in marrying—or, at least, dating—so I wasn't about to marry a crazy girl who had trapped me!

"Sorry, I'm still not marrying you," I told her.

"Then you'd better get used to this island because you aren't going anywhere any time soon."

I didn't listen. After all, it wasn't like I'd tried everything. So my powers with bringing cards to life were out. So what? I still had another idea.

I swam back out to where the barrier was, figuring that I'd just try to force my way through. After all, I might have been half duel spirit, but I was also half human. That barrier didn't work on humans, so, maybe, I could confuse it by trying to use my human capabilities to get through.

I swam into the barrier, trying with all my might to force my way through, but it was no good. It was like trying to swim through solid concrete—it wasn't going to work. All I did was wear myself out. Not wanting to drown, I swam back to shore.

Realizing that the only way I'd be getting out of there was to marry her, I decided to just adapt to life on the island for now and called the pet hotel to extend the time Pharaoh would be spending there. After all, there wasn't much else I could do at the time. Eventually Ai would give up when she realized nothing was going to change my mind.

It wasn't nearly that easy, though. Over the next couple of weeks, she tried time after time to get into bed with me. When I woke up with her half naked in my bed one night, I realized she wasn't above using force or stealth to get what she wanted. If I wanted to keep her off me, I'd have to be on my toes at all times.

This…is gonna be a really long…however long it takes, I thought.

So, yeah. That's how I wound up trapped by a crazy stalker on the Isla de la Doncella, a tiny resort island off the coast of Mexico.
