Part I: Causing of Choices

Chapter 4

The Desires of Duel Monster Spirits

He immediately pushed me up against the wall of the room and crashing his lips on mine. Our hands were roaming all over the other's naked bodies causing many sensations in us. However this was one of those times that we couldn't afford to completely enjoy ourselves so we had to finish soon. Once we were sure that we were fulfilled enough, we swiftly put our clothes back on. As he was about to leave the room I felt that I had to at least apologize for causing the inconvenience.

"I promise I will be more careful when dealing with those emotions," I told him with regret in my voice.

He turned back to face me and brought my face closer to his.

"I know you will," he said before he kissed me once more and then we left the room.

I suddenly felt the unfamiliar presence of a very ambitious person around the area and I knew he had to be feeling it too. Yet there were more important things we had to focus on at the time. We quickly parted ways, him going to get ready for his duel and I went back to the lounge.

I narrowed my eyes as I watched the riding duel about to start. Not only were those people in the audience continuing to offend my lover, but apparently the presence of the person that we sensed earlier had somehow taken his original opponent's place. I could tell by the look on his face that he had noticed the switch as well, though neither of us would have guessed that it was Mukuro Enjo under that cloak.

"What's wrong, Yusei? If you're a D-Wheeler too, then accept Mukuro Enjo's challenge!" provoked Mukuro.

And that's when I saw it. The smile he would get whenever he knew he was about to really enjoy himself.

"All right. I'll take you on!" he announced with vigor.

The duel had become official and the Riding Duel had begun.

Watching him out there made me wish that I could participate in the Riding Duels for this tournament. Nevertheless no one but him knew that the Black Rose Witch was also a zealous D-Wheeler and it had to stay that way until it was time for it to be revealed. I had disliked the idea of Riding Duels for a long time, but now I love it. He had showed me what a true Riding Duel was all about.

Flashback

"What are you working on?" I asked him, when I had found him in one of the more secluded areas of the place.

I noticed that he wasn't wearing his usual blue jacket on and that his attention was more on the mini computer screen in front of him as his fingers typed expertly on the keyboard. He continued working on the minicomputer so much that I thought he didn't hear me, but then I eventually got an answer from him.

"My D-Wheel's acceleration output," he told me while still keeping his eyes locked on the screen in front of him.

When I heard the word "D-Wheel" my interest in what he was doing was no longer peaked.

"Oh, you have a D-Wheel. I didn't know you were into Riding Duels," I replied nonchalantly.

This had made his eyes leave the screen and glance in my direction for the first time since I've entered the room.

"And I take it you're not," he stated with interest, keeping his eyes on me.

"I just never understood what was so great about Riding Duels. You're just doing the same thing you do in a Ground Duel instead you're on a bike," I answered honestly, yet when he no longer looked at me and remained completely silent I became worried that I may have insulted him somehow.

"I'm sorry, I…I didn't mean to offend you. I…I just…"

As I was stuttering through my apology, I soon heard laughter come from him.

"What's so funny?" I questioned, being taken back by the sudden change in his mood.

"I'll let you in on a little secret," he started with a smile formed on his lips, making me very curious about what he was going to tell me.

"I thought the exact same thing at first too."

"Really?" I asked a little surprised at the revelation, especially when he seemed to be so into it with that computer he was working on.

"Yeah, I did."

"So then what changed your mind about it?" I inquired, wanting to know what was so special about these duels that it would change his views on it the way it did.

Instead of answering with words, he closed the minicomputer and put it away before taking his jacket and gloves and putting them back on.

"Follow me," he instructed before he left the room to which I quickly pursued after him.

We had arrived at the bottom level of the building, where I had yet to venture to before this time, and that's when I saw it. A red colored D-Wheel with a white strip on its side surrounded by a whole bunch of tools, computers, and other mechanical parts that were scattered around the area. I followed him to where the D-Wheel was and watched as he looked it over. Even though I wasn't into automobiles or vehicles I still knew a good one when I saw one.

"It's nice, where did you get it?" I wondered, checking over the motorcycle with my own eyes.

"I built it myself," he announced, which greatly astounded me.

I'm sure it takes a lot of mechanical and intelligence level to be able to build one of these things. Though I soon remembered what just happened between us that brought us down here in the first place and was able to piece it together.

"That's pretty impressive," I admitted to which he didn't responded, but I could feel a sense of pride flicker inside of him for a moment.

"Want to ride with me?" he suddenly asked me after he had gotten on the bike.

I had a feeling this was a part of how he was going to answer my earlier question so I nodded my head and sat behind him with my arms wrapped around his waist. When he started driving faster on the highroads, I admit that I was having fun. Having the wind blowing in your face, watching the scenery flash rapidly before your eyes.

Now I see why most girls have fantasies about riding on the back of a motorcycle with some hot guy. It's defiantly a nice experience. Wait…did I just admit he was hot? .....Oh shoot I hope he's not reading my mind right now!

I hastily observed him for any indication that he had heard any of that and it appeared he didn't. That was until I caught a speck of amusement coming from him.

It's very rude to invade a girl's privacy you know.

I thought angrily, knowing that he would hear it. Yet I didn't expect to hear a response back from him.

Sorry. I won't do it without notification anymore.

I could hear the genuine apology in those words and I knew that he meant it. Thus I knew I had to do one of my own.

Same here.

Feeling surprise emit from him, he must have figured it out already.

How long?

A few weeks.

It was silent after that and I was wondering if he was upset that I've been doing my own personal invasion without his permission. Nevertheless what he said next amazed me.

It seems you're the one who's impressive.

We had been driving for at least an hour now and it was then that I noticed that we seemed to be actually heading somewhere.

"Where are we going?" I asked out loud this time.

"We're almost there," he answered with a hint of seriousness that confused me.

I was shocked when we entered through the garbage pipeline that connected Neo Domino with Satellite. I held on to him even tighter as the cascading piles of garbage was flying everywhere around us. When we finally exited the pipe, it was then that I saw what the Satellite looked like for the first time. I just couldn't believe it. It was awful. The air was so thick that it made it harder to breathe. All the buildings looked old and run down. The sidewalks and streets looked like they were worn and cracked. The people were wearing old and withered cloths and some people didn't even look healthy at all. I've heard plenty of stories about the conditions of the Satellite, but I never pictured it being this bad.

Welcome to my hometown.

So he was from the Satellite after all and he had lived like this for most of his life. Even though my life was far from perfect, I still had some luxuries from being the senator's daughter. But he had no choice but to have truly survived in a place like this. Then having friends who you trusted, who were your only family, who were with you since childhood have their backs turned on you.

I'm sorry.

And I was. Deep down I knew I thought I had it worst than anybody. That no one could ever understand my pain and suffering. Yet I was wrong to assume that, at least with him anyway.

Don't be, like I told you before. I have no regrets. It just made me stronger.

I smiled at this. He wasn't just saying that to me, he was also saying that for me. I know he's right too. All of our hurting, betrayals, and anguish has and will continue to make us stronger.

"Stop you!" we heard someone say from behind.

I looked behind us and saw a Sector Security officer closing in on us on his own D-Wheel. I thought for sure we were going to try and get away, but instead we were slowing down until we came to a complete stop. This move had absolutely confused me.

Why did you stop?

Trust me.

The way he said that told me that he knew what he was doing so I did what he asked and let him handle it. The officer eventually pulled up close behind us and got off his vehicle to head towards ours.

"A Marked huh, let's see what we have here," he said as he took a scanner from his person and used it to read the criminal mark on my partner's face.

When the scan was done, information appeared right away on its screen. I couldn't help but discreetly read the information that was shown wondering what it would say about him. The officer and I happened to pause at a certain piece of information. For him, it was obvious that shock had caused him to stop reading. For me it was curiosity and confusion.

What's Team Satisfaction?

I'll tell you the whole story later.

I'll hold you to that.

So far he had only told me the basic stuff, but hasn't really gone into detail about it yet. Now I was eager to learn more about him than before. I decided to continue reading on and saw mentions of his breaking the no having card rule and his mysterious sudden death. Looking at the officer, you could clearly see the wheels spinning rapidly in his head. It wasn't long before determination and anger took over the officer's features.

"You've got a lot of nerve coming around here! I'm placing you under arrest! Now is it going to the easy or hard way?!" shouted the officer with the handcuffs already in hand.

Yet he didn't give any reply to the officer's statements and remained nonresponsive so I figured he wanted me to do the same. Apparently keeping quiet was making the officer even more frustrated.

"So you're one of those silent types huh?!" the man proclaimed ready to take immediate action.

"Duel me," my partner said critically making the man stop in his tracks.

"Huh?" he asked now with a confused expression on his face.

"Duel me, if you win I go with you peacefully. If I win you erase any files they have on me and never mention any of this."

Now I got it. Not only was he going to show me what a Riding Duel was like, he was also going to tie up some lose ends as well. He was ready to kill two birds with one stone.

"I don't need to agree to any of your terms!" announced the officer with boldness, which made a shadow of a smile form on my cohort's lips.

"So then you already know you'll lose to me?" he asked in a taunting way causing the officer's face to turn completely red.

"Why you! …Fine you're on!" the man declared before he got on his D-Wheel and started it back up.

"Follow me if you can!" he yelled as he rapidly passed us.

You knew he had an anger problem didn't you?

When dealing with the "marked" they all have anger issues.

He answered with a little humor before he too started up his D-Wheel and drove after the officer.

I was watching the duel with critical eyes trying to find the answer to what made them so special. It wasn't until his speed counters went to seven that I felt a spark of excitement from the speed of the duel. I felt my adrenalin rise to new heights that it never had during a Ground Duel.

"You can only feel this kind of speed when you're in a Riding Duel!" he responded with passion in his voice.

A grin displayed on my lips from hearing so much emotion in his usual impassive voice, however a frown slowly replaced it.

This speed is incredible…but still…

A lot was flowing through my mind as we returned back to our home.

"So what did you think?" he asked me after we had gotten off the bike.

Seeing the keen expression on his face made me nervous to answer that question. The truth was that I still didn't see what the big deal was about Riding Duels.

"It was different than I expected it to be but…"

"I understand," he suddenly stated making me flabbergasted.

His smile seemed to grow as he gazed at me with eyes filled with indulgence.

"You can't instantly love something in only one night. It takes time for you to get used to it first," he replied, but then that smile turned into an enigmatic smirk.

"Besides there's much more to it than the speed," he added in a shrewd way.

"Like what?" I asked as he once again managed to spark my curiosity.

His eyes softened before he gently placed his hand on my shoulder in a supportive manner.

"You'll find out soon enough, and once you do, you'll be great at it," he told me before his hand left my shoulder and he left the area.

Were we still talking about Riding Duels just now? Or was that something else?

Almost a year had passed since he had taken me to see a Riding Duel for the first time. During those months he continued to explain and show me many more things about it. He even built a D-Wheel for me when I insisted multiple times for him not to. But since he did it anyway I was going to use it. So the riding outfit I decided to wear was composed of a dark purple vest with only three front buckles closures that exposed enough cleavage under a dark red jacket with matching gloves. A matching red miniskirt over dark purple leggings and red knee-high boots. He then began teaching me how to ride and use a D-Wheel and he even took me out several times for practice runs. Yet no matter how much he taught and showed me, I still didn't see the greatness in it that he always tells me it is.

We were currently doing another practice run and as usual I was enjoying the feeling of this fast speed. That was until his sudden question surprised me.

"Are you ready to duel?!"

"What?!" I asked completely caught off guard causing him to stare at me with staid eyes.

"Do you think you're ready for your first Riding Duel?!" he questioned in all seriousness.

I considered the question for several moments before a sly smirk showed on my face. I started thrusting on the acceleration, allowing me to move some distance ahead of him.

"Let's go already!" I shouted back with my head slightly turned back to him

I saw his own smirk make its way to his lips before he made a strong throttle on his acceleration making him easily catch up to me. We activated the Speed World speed spell and the duel was on.

This duel for me was like pulling out teeth. I hadn't realized how much focus and concentration dueling like this takes. Not only do you have to keep your eyes on your opponent, you also had to keep your eyes on where you're going even with the thing on autopilot. Let's not forget the constant wind that smacks into you from going so fast. This was a challenge for me and I liked it.

I'll face this challenge with open arms and I will succeed. I may be behind in this duel, but I refuse to give up. It was my turn now and I had my hand on my deck ready to draw. That's when I felt a strong pulse come from my deck. I could feel emotions from it that I had never felt before. When I saw what card I just drew I knew I could turn this around.

"Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!" I chanted as my dragon made its first Riding Duel appearance.

After it was summoned it gave a loud prideful roar as it soured and flew over me. I watched as it continued to match my speed with its flight. That's when I noticed it. Black Rose Dragon was enjoying itself, being able to finally stretch its wings as it was ready for battle.

"Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!" he chanted, calling upon his own dragon to the field.

Both dragons were engaged in battle. Even though Black Rose Dragon knew it was weaker it still counted with its attack regardless, which amazed me. It never kept fighting back like this before. However Stardust's attack was beginning to overthrow the attack and Black Rose's was losing its strength. I knew it wouldn't be long before Black Rose Dragon was destroyed, yet I still felt exhilaration coming from her.

Why is she acting……like me!

I had finally figured it out. Her feelings facing her battle were the same as my feelings facing my battle with the speed. We both were refusing to give up on the overwhelming challenges that pushed us.

Mine and Black Rose Dragon's hearts are being joined through my assessment of speed!

So this was what made Riding Duels so special. Being able to experience and appreciate your monsters' desire of battle.

End Flashback

A small grin spread on my lips at the memory. Ever since I made that discovery I took every chance I could get to have a Riding Duel. I wanted to be able to feel that special connection with my monsters as much as I possible. He had been right. The more I had understood it the more I had grown to love it. Hearing the sounds of the duel still underway brought my focus back to the TV screen. After all watching Riding Duels was almost as fun as being in them.

We were all shocked when Mukuro had the End of Storm card in his hand. That was the same card that Jack had in his deck. What made it worse is when it was used to destroy all of his monsters on the field, reducing his life points to 1300. No one else could see it, but I knew that had affected him more than he let on. The fact that one of his favorite monsters was destroyed by a card owed by an old friend who betrayed him did not bode well with him at all. I could sense a rising vengeance that was replacing the joy he was having at the beginning of the duel.

I understood right away what he was trying to do when he played the speed spell Shift Down. Others would say it was a risky move to start relying on chance at that point in the duel, but I knew it wasn't chance at all. His bond with his deck was too strong for it to be considered luck when he always drew the cards he needed. That's why I knew he was going to win this.

He had just summoned Nitro Warrior and because of its effect he could draw one card. As he was about to draw, I could clearly feel his desire to win this and his monster's desire to help him achieve victory. The connection between him and his deck was truly amazing. He was calling to his cards for help and they were graciously and willingly answering him. Their hearts had become one the second his hand touched his deck and I knew without a doubt that he would get the card he wanted.

Once he had drawn the speed spell Gap Storm, the duel had completely turned around in his favor. When he told Nitro Warrior to attack Junk Synchron, who was on the opponent's side of the field at the time, I almost chuckled at the look Junk Synchron had shot at Mukuro before it was attacked.

"Oh hell!" screamed Mukuro as the attack came right in front of him before the impact caused an explosion up in his face.

That was it, I could no longer hold it in and a small laugh came out of my lips. I could tell that Nitro Warrior and Junk Synchron had planned that, especially with that look Junk Synchron had given him. I guess that was their little way of dishing out some of their own retribution in the duel. The man deserved it though so I don't think he minded that his monsters pulled that little stunt. However I have a feeling he won't let it happen again anytime soon. Not until he faced Jack anyway. Then I'm sure we will see plenty of actions like that.

"It's been determined that we will now be holding a consolation game!" I heard the MC announce.

It was soon declared that the match would be between the real Ruka and a man that sent off negative waves from the very beginning, Professor Frank.

Perfect.

From the moment the duel started I could hear the calls of Ruka's monsters. They were going to help her remember her time in the Spirit World. That was there mission during this duel. I'm impressed at how this so called Professor easily prompted Ruka back to the Spirit World. One thing's for certain, things were going to get more hectic for Ruka.

I was watching the events that were taking place in the Spirit World just as I was sure he was doing the same. Ancient Fairy Dragon had managed to revive Ruka's memory and her promise, just in time for Frank to show up. So many monsters were crying in fear from their world being destroyed by this man's malicious intentions. But this is what these monsters needed to see.

He had been on the field crucially watching the two dueling for a while now, or that's what it would appear that he was doing. What they didn't know was that he was in the Spirit World with them. We both had the ability to travel to the Spirit World like Ruka could. The only difference is that we can continue to remain conscious here while we are there. I watched as he and his monsters had managed to evacuate the area where the duel in the Spirit World was taking palace, which is why no monsters other than Ruka's and Frank's were present at the time.

Nevertheless the monsters that were now safe were bombarding him with questions and I knew he would need my help in explaining it to them. I allowed my spirit to branch out from my body into the spirit's realm and was instantly at my lover's side.

What's going on?

Why is this happening?

Are just two out of the many questions the monsters were asking us. He had managed to calm most of them down and now their attention was solely on us.

"This is what happens when humans enter this world," he started to which I immediately continued.

"If they continue to exist they will continue to destroy your world and everything else they come in contact with," I announced with urgency causing several mummers of anxiety, uncertainty, and fear.

"That's why when the time comes, we'll need all of your help," he finished making even more conversations break out among them.

All humans aren't like this.

Interjected one of the monsters, to which others started slowly agreeing with.

"We know. That's why those who are worthy will be spared," he answered them honestly.

"We only want to protect this world and ours," I added with my own earnest feelings.

"In order for all of us to be safe the source of our dangers must be taken care of."

"We understand that all of you may not want to be involved and we'll gladly help keep this away from you."

"But for those of you who are willing and ready to do what it takes to protect the place you live, we ask for your assistance," he ended with vitality that seemed to have reached some of them.

I will help you Signers.

I as well.

"Thank you," we both replied to those who had agreed to work with us.

Right at that second we all felt a devastating fury and anguish impending from a specific area.

Ancient Fairy Dragon.

I've never felt such anger from her before.

"And it's all because of that man," I stated with a hint of disgust in my voice.

Now the monsters were more afraid and worried than before after realizing what we said was true.

"Humans have the ability to bring out the worst in anything," he said in a matter of fact way.

Having the proof of the dangers of humans shown right before their eyes was what all of them had needed to agree with us.

Then we won't let them get anywhere near this world!

We will fight by your side Signers.

We both bowed our thanks to them before we left the Spirit World along with Frank and Ruka. I watched as my lover carried Ruka off the field in his arms before I left the lounge.

I allowed a satisfied smirk to appear on my lips. The Duel Monsters were now on our side. Ancient Fairy Dragon had gotten its first taste of malice from that duel. Rua and Ruka were wrapped around my lover's finger. Divine was wrapped around mine. All the Signers were in one place. The best part, Goodwin was doing all of our work for us.

Everything is going according to plan.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed my little twists that have been shown here. Until next time!
