A/N: This fic takes place at the end of Episode 70 after Manjoume "White Thunder" defeated Tenjoin Asuka.

Asuka felt as if she was completely drained of all of her energy after the duel between her and Manjoume. "I think I finally understand now..." she thought.

"So tell me Tenjoin-kun, have you seen the light?" Manjoume asked.

Asuka was silent for a moment before answering him. "Yes..." she said, a hint of evil visible in her voice.

Manjoume chuckled softly and held out his hand to her.

Asuka hesitated for only a second, looking back at her former friends briefly. She turned away from them, gladly accepting Manjoume's hand.

Manjoume smiled cruelty shined in his grin.

Fubuki watched as his little sister gladly accepted Manjoume's hand, finally seeing the light. Asuka, not seeming to care if any of her former friends were watching, smiled wickedly.

"Asuka-san are you ok?" Sho asked gently.

Asuka turned around, glaring at her former friends. "I have seen the light, unlike these fools." she said, turning back to Manjoume.

"Oh no...she's one of them now.." Judai said full of concern.

"Shall we leave?" Asuka asked, seeming to be ready to leave. "I can't believe she lost..." Momoe whispered to Junko. "Yeah.. now she doesn't even care about who we are..." Junko replied.

Manjoume smirked. "Yes let's go." He turned to the others. "If you want to be with Tenjoin-kun all you have to do is join us in the Association of Light."

"That isn't going to happen!" Kenzan yelled. Momoe and Fubuki nodded. "We'll find a way to save her ourselves!" Junko snapped, glaring at Manjoume.

Manjoume laughed. "Tenjoin-kun doesn't think of you as friends anymore. Am i right Tenjoin-kun?"

"The only people I consider to be friends are Manjoume and the rest of the Association of Light members." Asuka replied.

Judai's eyes widened in pure shock. Asuka-chan had been brainwashed by losing..

"I don't have time to be wasting on those who have not seen the light." Asuka said coldly. "Lets go, Manjoume."

"Asuka-san..you can't do this.." Sho said pleadingly.

"I can and I will. You will not get in my way.." Asuka said, not even seeming to care about what Sho wanted. Or what anybody else wanted, for that matter.

"Asuka-san theres something i wanted to tell you.." Sho whispered.

"What? You would like to join the Association of Light?" Asuka guessed.

Sho shook his head. "I wanted to tell you that i...love you." He whispered in her ear so the others wouldn't hear.

"I have told you before, I do not waste my time on those who have not seen the light." Asuka replied, coldly.

Sho bit his lip to fight back tears.

"Tears will not solve anything." Asuka told him. "If you want to be recognized by me, join the Association." And with that, she walked away.

Manjoume smiled at her as he happily followed.

"I can't believe I was blinded from the truth all along..." Asuka whispered to herself.

"It's ok Tenjoin-kun.. your safe now. It's the will of destiny and of Saiou-sama for you to be in the light forever with me.." Jun said softly.

"Yes... forever..." Asuka replied. Suddenly, she felt extremely weak, as if there was no energy left within her.

"Tenjoin-kun what's the matter?"

"I just feel a little bit weak... thats all.." Asuka replied, leaning against a wall to catch her breath.

"I'm glad we're together.."

"Y-yes.. so am I..." Asuka replied weakly. She felt more drained than she ever had been before..

"Do you need to lie down Tenjoin-kun?"

"N-no.. I'll be alright.. just a bit tired, thats all.." she replied, managing to walk.

"Yes... lets go." Asuka agreed, continuing to walk down the hallway.

Manjoume put his arm around her as he led the way to the man who changed everything. Saiou allowed him to finally open his eyes and see the truth so he was Jun's greatest hero.

"This is it..." Asuka thought. "I'm about to meet the man who changed everything.."

"Saiou-sama may i enter?" Jun asked gently.

"Of course my knight..you may enter." He said calmly.

Jun opened the door and slowly walked in.

Asuka followed him without hesitation, still seeming to be out of energy.

Jun bent down on one knee to show respect. "Who do you have with you my knight?"

Asuka stepped forward, starring into Saiou's eyes. "I must show respect to my new master.." she thought.

"Hello i am Takuma Saiou. Who might you be?" He asked.

"Tenjoin Asuka." she answered, bowing in respect.

"Master allow me to explain. I challenged Tenjoin-kun to a duel and defeated her. In doing so i showed her the truth. Right Tenjoin-kun?"

"That is correct." Asuka agreed, nodding.

Saiou smiled. "Well in order to show your a true part of the association" He paused and held out a white blazer that was designed for girls. "Wear this." He advised her.

"Understood." Asuka agreed, taking the blazer from his hands.

Saiou smiled kindly and gestured to some sort of changing area so she could try out the blazer.

Asuka walked over to the changing area, closing the door behind her. As quickly as possible, she changed from her Obelisk Blue uniform into the white one she was given. As soon as she finished, Asuka opened the door and walked back over to Saiou.

Saiou grinned. "You look terrific in white. It's truly your color." He said complimenting her.

"Thank you, master." Asuka thanked him, bowing down in respect.

"Asuka my friend please just call me Saiou when we're alone here. That goes for you as well Manjoume." Jun nodded. "Yes sir."

"Understood." Asuka agreed, nodding. "My master is so kind... so understanding..." she thought.

"May i please see your deck Asuka?"

"Of course." she replied, handing over her deck.

Saiou fiddled with it like he was adding cards but in reality he had swapped her deck with a more powerful one he designed.

Asuka wondered what Saiou was doing with her deck. It looked like he was adding cards or something like that..

Saiou handed her back her deck and held one more card in his hand. "Asuka do you wish to know the card i have in my hand?"

Hehehe cliffy time. What is the mystery card that Saiou is holding? And what is his true intentions? Find out next time in chapter 2 of "Cold-Blooded Passion For Love"
