Episode: #14
Setting: Daimon Arena
Couple(s): Yusei x Aki


What if Aki let Yusei approach?


Even through the thick cloud of smoke, Yusei could see some sort of monster rear it's head and let out a heart-wrenching cry to the skies above.

"W-What's that monster?" stammered Rua in shock. Yusei ignored the young boys' question and stood, clutching his burning arm before running toward the monster to investigate. Rua followed, calling his name. Yusei stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a figure emerge from the chaotic storm; it was undoubtedly female, cloaked, and wearing a white mask.

"The Witch..." mumbled Yusei under his breath. Rua, who had stopped behind him, looked up to Yusei in surprise.

"So...That's the Witch?" asked Rua before he looked back at the destructive female and began to approach her. However, Yuei laid his hand out protectively in front of him, stopping the young boy. The rest of the group soon followed.

"So...the Witch is real..." mused Saiga.

"Well, I'll be damned!" exclaimed Yanagi. The Witch ignored this talk, her eyes fixed on the dark, blue-eyed man in front of her. She suddenly recoiled in shock, noticing the presence of a birthmark on his arm.

"You too?" inquired the Witch, her voice slightly muffled by the mask. Yusei's eyes widened as he glanced down at his birthmark.

"You too...?" repeated Yusei in question, before he straightened himself and began to approach the witch. She froze in fear, unsure of what to say or of what to do. Her first thought was to flee, yet, there was a certain curiousity inside of her as to what the raven-haired Satellite had to say.

"Do you mean...you have a birthmark too?" asked Yusei, stopping directly in front of her. The witch bit her lip from under the mask.

"I do." she replied plainly. Yusei paused and came even closer to her, close enough as to where the Wicth could feel his hot breath trail over her cold skin.

"What is your name?" he asked softly. The witch let out an inaudible gasp. No one before, other than Divine, had ever cared to learn her name. She was only known as the Black Rose Witch to them. She was the Black Rose Witch.

"I have no name." she replied bitterly, before swiftly calling upon her powers and blowing him far away from her; all while transporting herself to another part of the city.

Those piercing, blue eyes stayed with her though. And for a fleeting moment, she felt guilty and wondered if she had hurt him.

Never before had this happened.


Yusei perhaps would've been injured, which might've prevented him from participating in Riding Duels at the very least. Aki would've started to question herself earlier. The conversation that took place before their duel would've been different.
