Here's some more filler, backstory or whatever you call it. I found "God Knows" from Amalee is suitable for this one or "Smile Bomb". Better yet, Aozora no Rhapsody from LittleJayneyCakes! Sorry. I write this stuff before writing the fanfiction so I can get notifications to you guys in the beginning. I think I'm getting better with every chapter, so there's proof that practice makes perfect. I'm also getting something right to have these kinds of favorites and followers...I think. I do not own Yugioh Arc-V or Zexal.
Taking A Chance
"Where am I? This looks like a forest." Yuou said waking up when he heard crying realizing that he was laying in the ground, seeing many trees and plant life around him examining his chest before seeing out of the corner of his eye a moving bush.
He peeked closer to see a small, white-haired girl wearing a wearing a white and purple cloak with small purple shorts, dark blue leggings and brown boots was crying with a staff on her lap. "She seems like a few years younger than me. Maybe she's lost like me."
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked politely still peeking as the girl looked up at him. He saw lavender eyes drenched in tears on her face with a sad expression.
"Do you know where we are? I'm kind of lost." Yuou said as the girl only looked strangely at him. "Can you talk?"
The small little girl just stood up and grabbed his shorts holding them tightly. Yuou looked a little shocked having a girl grab onto him like that before trying to pull away from her grip.
"Are you okay?" Yuou said removing himself from her looking to the lush green. "Strange...is this heaven?" he thought before hearing a faint buzz noise behind him looking back to see a large bee with long wings and huge stinger next to a tree.
"This is not heaven! I doubt that even God would make fun of my hairstyle!" Yuou exclaimed throwing a rock at the bee provoking it to come at Yuou. He quickly ran away leaving the small girl as the bee chased after him.
"Leave me alone!" Yuou shouted before falling on a rock onto the dirt. "Oww!"
The bee quickly launched it's stinger at him thrusting downwards but Yuou rolled out of the way and grabbed a stick to strike it. The bee was struck in it's wings but hasn't fallen tackling Yuou with it's legs pinning him in place.
"No! I hate needles!" Yuou yelled out struggling to escape but couldn't due to the strength of the bee as it thrusted it's stinger closer to his stomach. "What the hell can I do!? He's too strong for me to shake off."
The white-haired girl came behind the bee and casted a spell as a purple blast came from the staff stunning the insect. Yuou pushed it and smacked it with the stick until it fell flat on the floor unconscious.
"I-it tried stinging me with it's stinger. I could've died..." Yuou said crying heavily curled in a ball hugging himself as the girl walked up to him with a worried face looking at him crying as well.
"Don't cry! You saved me!" he said hugging the girl as they both cried tears. Yuou held onto her for a few seconds until he smelled a weird smell from the bee.
"What is that smell?" he asked before recalling one thing he remembered reading about the pheromones of bees. "C'mon. I think we need to le-" he said pulling her with his hand before seeing a swarm of bees in the air on the treetops. "Crap..."
"There's so many of them!" Yuou exclaimed seeing the full size of the horde as they launched themselves at Yuou and the small girl before a burst of fire came from another side of the forest creating a wall protecting the both of them scorching the ones in the front before as the ones in the back flew away from the fire to begin reforming.
"What the hell!?" he exclaimed as a red-haired teen wearing a red and white dress came from the trees with a menacing look in her face. The bees went into a curved formation targeting her circling her in all areas. She made a swaying motion with her arm as fire came from it incenerating all of the bees.
"Wow...that was awesome!" Yuou exclaimed amazed at the fire woman. "How did you do that!?"
She only walked up to them eyeing Yuou with a slight interest as she picked up her sister hugging her tightly.
"Jasmine! You can't just wander by yourself in the forest! It's way too dangerous!" a voice came from the trees as a blue-haired woman wearing a blue dress and carried a staff appeared running to the three of them hugging her sister.
"Who are you guys?" Yuou asked looking at their outfits and staffs with curiosity.
"Who are you?" the blue-haired woman said to herself noticing the black and yellow-haired boy. "I've never seen you before."
"My name is Yuou." Yuou said a little timid. "Haru."
"A boy like you shouldn't be here. Do you have any family?" she asked a little worried.
"Yeah...but I hate them." Yuou said remembering the last moments of his parents gritting his teeth.
"It's not safe here. If it wasn't for my sister Bergamot, you might've been eaten alive." she explained before holding her hand out. "Here, come with me. I can help you."
"Don't take me back!" Yuou exclaimed before running away from them deeper into the forest.
"Yuou!" the woman cried out as they stared out to his direction.
He ran for a few minutes not knowing where he was going until he ran out of breath. "I don't wanna go back. Please..." he said crouching under a tree.
...
"Why?" a younger Yuou asked himself hugging a pillow in his room. "Why did they ignore me? Am I not important to them?" He looked outside to see several kids his age passing by with their friends going places.
"I feel like such a burden." he sighed before looking away. "But who knows? Something good might happen." Just then, the door to his room burst open revealing a larger person on the other side grinning with excitement."
"You and I are going to have a talk about what happened today." the figure said sinister.
"Oh, so you come to hear my side of the story?" Yuou looked up in doubt.
"Sure, spill it kid. Why did you beat up that kid?" the voice sounded tense almost mad-sounding.
"He embarrassed me in front of the whole cafeteria. I wasn't going to let him get the last laugh. So that's why I kicked him in the balls and punched his face."
"I wonder what your mom would say to you if she was here...if you haven't killed her!" the figure shouted. At the end of the minute, Yuou's vision turned to black.
/
"What do you want?" Yuou asked menacingly.
"Please don't run off again. I don't want to see you get hurt. My name is Rosemary." she said sitting down with him.
"Leave me alone. I'm not your concern." Yuou responded holding his knees close to his body.
"Jeez, what has you so worked up? I'm not here to hurt you." Rosemary asked calmly petting his here.
"You're not?" Yuou said looking up as she nodded her head.
"That's right." she said back. "I'm not.
"Then what are you here for?" Yuou said wiping some of his tears still ready to run in a minute's notice.
"So I can help you get back home."
"I see. But I don't want to go back." Yuou admitted.
"Have some problems?" Rosemary asked sweetly. "I'm sure we all do. But I know one thing. It's better to talk about it. Could you share?"
"They...I don't talk about it." Yuou said as a grumble left his stomach.
"I understand. Come with me, I know where we get you something to eat." she responded with a kind smile standing up.
"I'm not hungry." Yuou responded before a growl left his stomach. "Fine take me."He lifted himself from the ground before they walking out of the forest. They walked out of the forest and into the plains where they saw a large fancy gingerbread building made out sorts of sweets.
"Is this the witch's house?" he asked a little worried as Rosemary giggled.
"Well at least you know that story. You seem to know fairytales." Rosemary responded as they went inside the building. "I used to tell some to my little sisters sometimes. No. This is one of my special friend's establishments out here."
Inside Yuou saw what looked like a restaraunt with a orange-haired woman wearing a maid dress next to a black table. There were many fancy tables and chairs behind her with beautiful chandeliers and windows on the ceiling and walls. The woman saw them and walked to them with a happy smile.
"Fancy seeing you here, Rosemary. It's been a while." the woman said looking at Yuou. "And who's this?"
"Yuou, this is Marmalmaide. Marmalmaide, this is Yuou." Rosemary explained.
"It's nice to meet you." Marmalmaide greeted.
"Are you named from marmalade?" Yuou asked nervously as Marmalaide gave him a playful look.
"I think that should be obvious from my name. I suppose you didn't come here to say hello to little ol' me, didn't you?" she asked.
"Put it on my tab." Rosemary responded as Marmalmaide nodded kneeling down to look at Yuou. "Sir, what will you be having today? We have sweet custards, waffles, pancakes, cake and other sweets. What's your poison?"
"Um, can I have some waffles...please?" Yuou picked a little surprised at the shift of voice as she pulled out a notepad and pen writing down the order.
"Want to have something to drink? Perhaps any chocolate shakes, a nice hot mug of chocolate or maybe a sweet cup of tea?" she again asked.
"Chocolate shake!" Yuou exclaimed jumping up and down as the two looked a little surprised at his actions.
"Okay, chocolate shake...have a seat right here." she said leading Yuou and Rosemary to a table as they sat down.
Yuou looked around the tables to see knights with nearly identical outfits with red scarfs feasting on large pieces of cake and cups of tea laughing and having a good time.
"Tell me, why were you and my sister fighting bees? I know bees don't attack unless they're provoked." Rosemary asked.
"I really hate bees. They make fun of my hair color." Yuou said recalling some times where his friends would pick on him for the thrill of it.
"That's your brain telling you that. I like your hair." Rosemary said with a happy look.
"Why did you pick me up?" Yuou asked looking up at her with a serious look.
"Excuse me?" Rosemary said confused.
"Why didn't you leave me to fend for myself? You had nothing to gain by protecting me." Yuou said getting a little irritated looking at her in the eye.
"That's what reasonable good person or creature would do. I wouldn't want you to get hurt if I could prevent it." she responded.
"This doesn't make sense. I'm not part of your family. You don't even know me. You're lying!" Yuou exclaimed holding his head as the knights looked back at him.
"Yuou, please calm down. It's okay. I'm not lying." Rosemary said trying to calm him down. "Why do you think that?"
"No one ever stopped to take me seriously. They just left me on my own...sometimes they would talk to me and tell me advice but it's like a circle. It never stops... This feels so weird." Yuou tried to say before Rosemary put a hand on his shoulder.
"You aren't from here are you?" Rosemary asked.
"No..." Yuou realized widening his eyes in realzation about how everyone dresses and acts. "I don't see any signs of any people or a city. Am I in a other world? Is this why there are giant bees and the fire woman?"
"You came from another world...I didn't think other worlds existed. So you don't have anyone to take care of you, huh?" Rosemary guessed.
"No, I don't think so..." Yuou said tearing up a little when Rosemary grabbed a napkin and wiped his face on it.
"Don't you cry...we can take you back to them." Rosemary said trying to comfort him.
"But...Rosemary, I don't wanna go back." Yuou pleaded looking at her eyes that were blue.
"You don't...I'm not sure if I can allow you to do that." Rosemary responded as she looked back seeing the pain and sorrow in his eyes. "Yuou...I can't take care of you."
"I'm not asking for you to take care of me. I just don't want to leave this world." Yuou responded.
"You're just a boy...you can di-." Rosemary tried to say before he interrupted her.
"It doesn't matter. I can do it." Yuou said with a brave smile.
"Yuou, don't be stupid. You can easily die or get hurt if you are in the wrong place and wrong time by yourself." Rosemary advised.
"Why?" he asked.
"Yuou, this world is full of creatures and animals who might want to hurt you or kill you. If you don't have any magic or strength, that willpower will not be enough." she responded.
"Do you believe in miracles?" Yuou asked losing some of his confidence.
"I'm afraid that even miracles won't be enough to save you for very much time." Rosemary said as Yuou puffed his cheeks.
"I know...but I don't want to go back to the other world. I want to stay here." he said.
"Who will take care of you?" Rosemary asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Me, that's who." Yuou said proudly as a teen in a black butler outfit walked to them holding a plate of pancakes with syrup on top in one hand with a chocolate shake in the other.
"Here you are, sir. It's very nice to see you again miss Rosemary." the butler teen said placing the food in front of Yuou as he kissed her hand.
"Hello, Butlerusk. This is my friend, Yuou." Rosemary said blushing a little as Yuou looked at her a little shocked.
"Did you just say I'm your friend?" he asked.
"Of course." Rosemary said.
"I've never heard someone say that to me..." Yuou admitted as he grabbed a piece of a pancake before chewing on it instantly pleased and hyper standing up. "This is good! I will come here everyday! This is way more better than a IHOP!"
"What's a IHOP?" Butlerusk asked a little worried about another establishment and restaraunt taking their place. "I wonder who could it be that's running it? The Cookpals?"
"It's a restaraunt from my world." Yuou said as he gobbled some more pancakes savoring the taste of each one.
"Your world?" he repeated confused.
"Yuou maybe from a different world from ours. Tell us what differences can you see from our world to yours?" Rosemary asked.
"Well for one, there isn't any cities I can see. Just nature." Yuou said.
"There are cities here, sir. Take for example the Magical Citidel of Endymion, Dreamland or perhaps The Grand Spell Booktower. I hope you don't mind my opinion." Butlerusk commented.
"Do they have any people like me? Like ones that cannot use magic or something like that?" Yuou asked.
"No...what do you mean cannot use magic? Everyone needs to have some magical skill or power inside of them to fend for themselves." Butlerusk explained. "Take me for example. I can carry many things at once with both my hands and legs without falling. I think it's impressive, if I ask myself."
"I can't do that. Also there isn't any creatures like huge bees or fire-casting people in my world." Yuou said. "It's like a cartoon show made for kids."
"Cartoon?" Rosemary asked.
"It's like you know in a TV...a show where they make you laugh and forget about the world." Yuou said.
"Strange...I've never heard of a TV. I must leave, if you ever need my assistance call me." Butlerusk said before leaving. "Ta-ta!"
"I wish I had pancakes like this in my old world." Yuou said before eating another pancake piece quickly.
"Slow down. You might get the hiccups or choke." Rosemary suggested looking at him little worried.
"It's okay. I won't." Yuou responded chewing his food a little more he was done with the huge stack of pancakes and shake he felt tired and satisified.
"That was great." Yuou said with a smile.
"Glad you liked it." Rosemary said before standing up.
"So, this is when we part ways, right?" Yuou asked with a frown. "I already know I might forget her in a day or two. She's so nice, I hope we meet again."
"Wait." Rosemary said as he walked away. "We still didn't decide about where you're going."
"I go by myself." Yuou said before Rosemary used her staff to levitate him.
"No, mister. You are coming with me to stay with us until we decide what should we do." Rosemary said holding him in place walking up to him.
"Let me go!" he said struggling against her magic. "I'm not a little kid anymore."
"You still are." Rosemary deadpanned. "If I let you go, you will die. 100% guarenteed."
"100% apple juice huh...then I will take my chances." he said pridefully.
"Dummy! This isn't me goofing around!" she scolded shaking his body. "It's certain unless you have some form of protection."
"Well if I don't have magic what can I do to protect myself?" Yuou asked.
"Well there is always is the other way but we can keep you safe without it." Rosemary responded thinking to herself.
"Another way?" Yuou repeated.
"It's nothing." Rosemary said releasing him. "Come on, let's go."
They walked to the entrance and said goodbye to Butlerusk and Marmalmaide. They went back to the forest where Yuou followed slowly. They eventually reached a small cottage filled with colorful kinds of plants.
"So this is where you live?" Yuou asked. "I thought you would live in a bigger place."
"It's cozy and comfortable, I think that's good enough by itself." Rosemary responded opening the door.
Inside they saw the red-haired woman with the small white-haired girl inside meditating on levitaing a apple from a wooden desk to her before grabbing it and chewing on it. She looked at Yuou and Rosemary before running and grabbing her legs.
"So do all your sisters have magic?" Yuou asked as he focused on the redhead's eyes which were a greyish color.
"Mmhm. The white-haired one here is Jasmine. We're hoping she can channel the energy of the sun to fire off blasts and bursts of energy to fight." Rosemary said hugging her sister. "Bergamot can cast fire and even if it doesn't look like it she's very strong."
The red-haired woman blushed a little at her's sister's opinion as she looked at Yuou directly at his eyes.
"Hi..." Yuou said a little sweaty as she kept quiet for a long time. "Are you deaf?"
"She can hear you, but I'm somehow the only one able to talk." Rosemary explained before hearing a door creak as a blonde teen peeked out.
"We're you busy studying your books again, Cananga. We have a guest over. Come and greet him." Rosemary said as the teen came out of the corner to where they were all gathered. She wore a brown dress and white cap with thick glasses.
"This is Yuou. He will be staying with us for a while until I can decide what I want to do with him." Rosemary declared as Yuou gave her a stern look.
"I thought I was going to decide what's going to happen. I can see you want to protect me, but can you understand I don't always need someone watching over me." Yuou said fiercely.
"That's enough from you. I'm trying to help you." Rosemary said a little strictly.
"Not unless I have something to say about it." Yuou whispered to himself.
"It's almost for the sun to set." Rosemary said looking outside of a window. "It's time for you get to bed."
"Why do you care so much about me?" he asked.
"I told you I worry abou-" she said before he interrupted her.
"Wrong!" Yuou exclaimed with tears in his eyes. "I was never your friend. You are trying to add me to your family! I don't want that. Don't you get that? I don't want a family!"
"I want to know what pains you, Yuou. It's up to you to decide what you're going to do about your past. Will you let burn throughout your body and let it consume you like a demon or will you let it out? Tell me." Rosemary demanded.
"I don't know...I want to be good. I always wanted to be good. Bu-but it doen't matter in the end." Yuou said.
"Yuou, do you want to live or die in this world?" Rosemary asked.
"I want to live...on my own." Yuou said. "Please just let me go. I will only be a burden. Besides my other parents didn't care so much. So shut up! Leave me alone!"
Rosemary remained speechless at his revelation and stood still looking directly at Yuou's yellow eyes with her blue ones. The other sisters looked a little uncomfortable before Yuou walked outside.
"If it's a world without parents, then I will gladly take it." he muttered as he went through his way back to the plains.
He wept small tears as he left the sight of the home and onto more forest thicket. Walking in it felt like hours to him hiding around trees and rocks around what he thought could be dangerous. He walked through trails filled with vines and small marshes until nighttime came by. It wasn't until he felt his feet feel sore did he actually stop.
"Maybe I was wrong..." Yuou said to himself as he felt the cold around his whole body.
/.../
Yuou was thrown down with serious force onto the ground. His hands and face bloody with cuts and bruises around his body. Above him was a boy two years older with a menacing look. They were both alone in the cafeteria of their school.
"What makes me a bad person, bee kid?" he said. "You don't belong here anyways."
"Damn you..." Yuou muttered as he felt his nose ozzing out blood trying to get back up being kicked in the face.
"I could squash you like a bug if I wanted." he said as Yuou grabbed his foot slipping him onto the ground.
"Never!" Yuou roared as he stood up back onto his two feet. He walked up to the boy and place his foot onto his face. He lifted up and brought it down on his face with strong force knocking him out.
"Don't try taking my money again..." Yuou said picking through the boy's pockets until he found his 5000 yen crumpled in one of the pockets. He walked away from the body until returning with a large cloth laying it under his body. He walked outside to the hot and intense sun where he saw another boy with a gray shirt and black pants waiting outside.
"What do you want?" Yuou asked him.
"Heh...we thought Dai would take you down but I guess that little weakling isn't the man he was talking about. I guess I have to take over." the boy said pulling out a nerf gun.
"What are you going to do with a plush gun?" Yuou asked a little humored about it as the boy shot a dart across his forehead as he felt his skull crack releasing high levels of pain and putting him down.
"It's amazing after you figure out how to modify a kid's toy. But here's the real thing." the boy said concealing the dart gun before pulling out a rusted revolver. He aimed it at his heart and shot him. Yuou stayed there not moving by the pain in his body as the other boy left not before saying some departing words. "You shouldn't have came."
Minutes passed as Yuou stayed on the ground motionless not able to move a muscle. There was blood on his shirt as he felt the pain in his ribs and stomach. He was about to pass out when he heard the faint sound of an ambulance peeking out of the corner of his eye a group of people running to him. After that, he only saw darkness.
/.../
Yuou sat on a rock where he wept quietly about his last memory before he got to the other world. He looked at his surroundings to see a small green mantis crawl next to his shoulder on his left. Looking over his shoulder he saw more trees and bushes a few feet away.
"What makes you feel so upset, small child?" a voice asked from behind him.
"Huh, who said that!?" Yuou exclaimed looking for the voice to see a large tree with many green leaves and white flowers. It's bark looked scrunched up to resemble a smiling face.
"I did. Do not be afraid. I won't hurt you." the tree said before Yuou jumped in fright a few meters back.
"Who are you!? What do you want!?" Yuou demanded afraid and somewhat scared as to why can a tree can talk.
"I am the guardian of this forest." it said in a deep tone looking at Yuou. "I watch and care for the forest as my treasure and burden."
"Guardian of the forest..." Yuou muttered.
"Indeed. Tell me, what troubles you?" the tree asked.
"None of your business!" Yuou shouted.
"I can tell you aren't from this world. I can see and hear all in the forest."
"Then you know why I'm sad, then!"
"Maybe, that's only one thing you can figure out on your own."
"What do you mean?" Yuou said to the old tree with a ferocious look on his face.
"Why do you think you are sad?" it asked.
"I'm alone...again." Yuou responded.
"Is that all?" it asked again.
"I felt like I've done the wrong thing."
"Then it's up to you to fix your mistakes."
"I want to be alone."
"You cannot go through life especially in this world with that mindset. You will die." it warned.
"That's what she said..." Yuou said to himself. "Why do I need someone watching over me all the time?"
"Is that what you think?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Those who watch over you love you. Family may not always be there but true friends will always be there for each other. Rosemary is a cheery and happy young woman. You don't need to be scared of her kindness." it explained politely.
"Scared of her kindness..." Yuou repeated. "I was afraid of nothing, then."
"What will you do now, young boy?" it asked with it's deep voice.
"I will go back!" he exclaimed. "I won't be afraid of what won't hurt me. I finally realized I should fix my mistake."
"It seems that you have learned in such a short time. I expect great things from you, young man." the tree said. "Now go back to them."
"Mr. Tree, thank you for helping me." Yuou said bowing before looking up to see the face dissapeared. "Where'd you go!?"
Yuou looked around to see no other faces on any other trees before leaving to where he came from. He tried looking for his footprints and any places he might've crossed leaving for a few minutes until he saw a vine thicket trail signifying he was close to his destination.
"Finally, I'm close. I won't be alone." Yuou said to himself with a smile as he walked through the dark thicket before smelling a beautiful aroma in the air. "What's that smell? It smells so good..."
He was so captured at the aroma that he forgot about his worries for a little bit trying to find the source for a while against his own will.
"Why can't I control my body? It feels like my brain isn't in control." he worried before falling into a pitch dark hole in the ground. He quickly reacted and grabbed the side of the ground where he lifted himself up from the hole.
"Mou...we are hungry...it's such a shame that this one puts up a fight."
Yuou looked behind him to see a pinkish-haired teen wearing nothing but a purple and white bra and white pieces of cloth over her body appear. She also had a large red flower headband on her hair and another one in her waist. Around her were five girls that were shorter than her. One had a black and purplish gothic outfit with black hair and red eyes looking at Yuou. Another had hazel eyes and white hair and two large brown wings on her back wearing white shorts and a small white bra. The other three were in the back smiling at Yuou hidden by the darkness.
"Did you try to make me fall into the hole!?" Yuou demanded as he looked at the teen.
"Yes...but it appears that I will need to concentrate on a more alluring scent to trick my prey. Sorry, but it looks like we need to kill you with my own strength." the teen said with a devious yet unmoving smile. "Dionaea, kill him."
Vines came from behind the three lunging at Yuou who barely dodged them due to his fatigue and speed. They circled around to strike Yuou again throwing him down to the ground.
"I'm not going to die again!" Yuou exclaimed as he felt pain in his hips.
The vines came up over his body and slammed to the ground hitting nothing but Yuou's hands who grabbed them. They slid from his grasp and grabbed his leg pulling him closer to the pink-haired teen.
"Good idea, Dionaea. Why don't we all get a piece of the struggle? Atrax, it's your turn." the teen said as she smirked at Yuou's discomfort. The gothic girl smiled as she revealed behind her back were eight hairy legs that resembled ones of a spider.
"No!" Yuou exclaimed before a fireball came from the forest burning the vines that were pulling him. He quickly got up and looked behind him to see the red-haired teen from coming out of the trees with another fireball in her hand launching it in front of the teen and girls.
"Myrmeleo!" the teen exclaimed as the hazel-haired girl opened her wings taking the hit.
"Bergamot!" Yuou yelled surprised to see one of Rosemary's sisters come out.
"Seems like we need to take more drastic measures...two for the price of one." the teen said with a snicker unfazed of Bergamot's appearance. She snapped her fingers before Bergamot collapsed to the ground in a deep hole. Yuou gasped and rushed to the hole where she fell and saw her grabbing a side of the hole with one hand. Under her was a whirlpool full of water.
"Grab my hand!" Yuou exclaimed trying to grab Bergamot's other hand. She complied grabbing Yuou's hand as he pulled his hand back against her weight to let her out.
"It's over." the pink-haired teen said before Atrax shot a web at Yuou's torso pulling him back as Bergamot was trying to hold on with a tight grip.
"Let my friends go!" a voice yelled out as a burst of light came from the trees burning the web and Atrax. Yuou finally pulled Bergamot out of the hole panting out of energy as he saw Rosemary, Jasmine, and Cananga appear from the trees.
"Rosemary!" Yuou yelled out as Rosemary grabbed him and hugged him tightly.
"Don't run off again..." she said with tears running across her face.
"I won't. I don't want you to be my mom. I want you to be my big sister!" Yuou exclaimed hugging her as she looked a little shocked.
"Really!?" she asked with sadness and joy in her heart as Yuou nodded his head. "Then I will try to be the best sister in the world!"
"Mou...you are making us mad...you must all die." the pink-haired teen said annoyed at the constant interruptions. "It appears that we must duel to feed..." As she spoke the last words the other five girls dissapeared as she revealed a disk made out of wood and plant material.
"No!" Rosemary exclaimed after hearing the word "duel".
"What's wrong?" Yuou asked. "What's a duel?"
"You will duel me!" she exclaimed putting Yuou down. She looked at her sisters and nodded as Cananga, Jasmine and Bergamot dissapeared and her wand transformed into a disk made out of metal and flowers.
"Very well..." the teen murmered.
"Duel!" they both exclaimed.
...
"Draw! I summon Aromage Jasmine (LV.2 ATK:100 DEF:1900 Plant/Light)!" Rosemary said placing a card on the disk as a white-haired girl wearing a purple and white dress with purple leggings appeared next to Rosemary.
"Jasmine?" Yuou muttered looking at the small girl. "What's going on!?"
"Yuou...stay by my side." Rosemary said as Yuou walked closer to her.
"What's going on? What are you doing with cards in your hand?"
"We are no normal spirits, Yuou. We are able to turn into cards and back when the time needs it like now. In this world, war and disputes are solved sometimes by the game of the monsters." Rosemary explained.
"Game of the monsters!?" Yuou exclaimed surprised.
"Mou...idiots, end your turn..." the pink-haired teen said. "I am hungry."
"I place one card face down." Rosemary concluded sliding one card face down.
"Draw! I summon Traptrix Atrax (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:1000 Insect/Earth)." the pink-haired teen said in a calm attitude as the black-dressed gothic girl from before appeared in front of her with her spider legs on her back sticking out.
"Battle. Atrax destroy Jasmine." she declared as the girl lashed out with all her spider legs at Jasmine.
"I activate the Trap, Plant's Oath! Atrax cannot switch her battle position or attack this turn. When it becomes your next turn, her ATK is doubled." Rosemary countered as Atrax's legs stopped from touching Jasmine.
"Mou...I place two cards face down and end my turn." the other teen said with a smile.
"Draw! I summon a copy of myself Aromage Rosemary (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:200 Plant/Water)!" she exclaimed as a copy of herself appeared next to Jasmine. Yuou looked in amazement at the fake version of Rosemary.
"She will die like the rest. I activate the Trap, Ring Of Destruction! Rosemary will be destroyed and we both take damage to it's ATK." the pink-haired teen said as a necklace of gernades appeared on Rosemary's neck.
"Crap!" Rosemary said as the necklace exploded destroying the copy of herself. The other teen smirked as the explosion passed.
"What are LP?" Yuou asked worried about Rosemary's condition.
"LP are the number and your life force...if they reach zero you lose the duel."
Rosemary:2200
Rafflesia:2200
"I activate the Continuous Spell, Kickin' Winds! All monster's ATK and DEF are switched!" she exclaimed as a gust of wind passed through their monsters. Aromage Jasmine (ATK:2000) Traptrix Atrax (ATK:1000)
"Battle! Aromage Jasmine destroy Atrax! Aroma Concentration!" she continued before Jasmine fired off a burst of sunlight at the spider girl.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Traprix's Engagement! When your monster battles mine I can add one "Hole" Trap card from my deck and negate your attack." the pink-haired teen said before Atrax sidestepped the blast. "After that, I can Normal or Special Summon Summon another "Traptrix" monster from my hand."
"I call out Traptrix Coronatus (LV.4 ATK:1500 DEF:1300 Insect/Earth)!" she continued as a woman wearing a flower dress appeared next to Atrax. "When Coronautus is Normal Summoned, I can add another "Hole" Trap Card from my deck!"
"I place three cards face down and end my turn." Rosemary declared as she placed three cards facedown and end my turn.
"Rosemary, are you okay?" Yuou asked.
"I'm a little scratched up but that's all. You don't have to worry about me." she said with a sincere smile.
"Draw! Thank's to your trap card, our ATK points are doubled." the other teen said with a smirk. Traptrix Atrax (ATK:2000)
I activate the Spell, Traptrix Funnel! I can Xyz Summon using monsters from my hand than my field! I overlay Level 4 Traptrix Myrmeleo and Traptrix Nepenthes to summon myself! Florishing flower of the forest and swamps. Open your petals and feed on the weak. Xyz Summon! Come forth, Traptrix Rafflesia (Rank:4 ATK:300 DEF:2500 Plant/Earth)!" Rafflesia chanted as a doppleganger of herself appeared on the field.
"I heard of you...you are the teen that eats other people and creatures by decieving them...I won't let you take another person!" Rosemary exclaimed pointing at her. "I activate the Trap Card Humid Winds and Dried Winds! If I have lower Life Points than you, I can gain 500 LP!" Two traps revealed themselves as a gust of wind came through all their monsters as Jasmine had a glow arond her. Traptrix Rafflesia (DEF:300) Traptrix Atrax (ATK:1800) Traptrix Coronatus (ATK:1300) Aromage Jasmine (ATK:100)
Rosemary:2700
"When I gain LP, the effects of my sister and Dried Winds activate! With Jasmine's effect, I can draw one card" she explained as the top card of her deck grew yellow. "Dried Winds destroys your Rafflesia!" A whirlwind came from the trap to the half-naked teen not even making her flinch.
"Can you be less of an idiot...I am immune to all Traps. While I'm on the field my sisters are invicible as well." Rafflesia responded. "Battle. Atrax destroy Jasmine." The gothic girl grabbed Jasmine's body as she tried fighting her off.
"I activate the Trap, Tessaract Hole. When a monster that's in attack mode battles, I can destroy it while inflicting damage equal to it's ATK. Since Jasmine has 100 ATK, you're taking that amount." she continued to say before a green hole appeared under Jasmine. She fell in before closing, then a explosion came from the spot.
Rosemary:2600
"You monster!" Rosemary exclaimed with rage. "I activate the other effect of Humid Winds! By paying 1000 LP I can add one "Aroma" monster to my hand!"
Rosemary:1600
"Battle. Atrax attack her directly." Rafflesia said with no emotion as Atrax launched her body at Rosemary.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, Instant Winds! I can summon a "Aroma" monster from my hand to the field! Then I gain LP equal to it's level times 100! Come out, Aromage Bergamot (LV.6 ATK:2400 DEF:1800 Plant/Fire)! When I gain LP the effects of Bergamot and Kickin' Winds activate!" Rosemary exclaimed as the redhead magician appeared. Traptrix Atrax (ATK:1000) Traptrix Coronatus (ATK:1500) Traptrix Rafflesia (DEF:2500) Aromage Bergamot (ATK:2800)
Rosemary:2200
"Mou...you are making this so hard...I activate Bottomless Trap Hole. It destroys your monster and banishs it." Rafflesia said with a bored look on her face before Bergamot fell in a hole.
"Bergamot...sister..." Rosemary said looking at the place she was with tears in her eyes while Yuou looked distressed and depressed.
"Atrax needs to feed. Attack." Rafflesia commanded as the spider girl lunged it's legs at Rosemary knocking her down.
Rosemary:400
"Rosemary!" Yuou exclaimed staying by her side.
"Yuou, I need you to be safe...listen. In this world we have a oath we use and live by. Please take care of them...I need your help." Rosemary managed to say hugging him weakly. "Become our master..."
"Become your master..." Yuou repeated with tears in his face.
"You will become our holder and master. When you become our master, we will be in your command. Your servants...I know you probably don't want this to happen, but this is the only way." Rosemary explained. "When you say the oath I will lose my voice. That's the price of giving myself for you."
"Battle. Coronatus finish her." Rafflesia said with a smirk enjoying the small talk before the mantis girl jumped up launching air projectiles at where Yuou was. Rosemary quickly stood up and took the hits instead falling on Yuou's body.
Rosemary:0
/
"Please...Yuou do it..." Rosemary pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Protect my sisters and me...you are the only person that's capable to do it..."
"I'm scared..." Yuou whimpered as Rosemary's body started to vanish as she cupped his face.
"You won't be alone...finish this..." Rosemary said before vanishing into the duel disk that dropped of her arm. "Repeat this: sweet smelling flowers will never wilt..."
"Mou...she dissapeared into her card form...at least the child will be easy to grab. Bite-sized pieces..." Rafflesia snickered before Yuou grabbed the disk and put it on his arm. "The child dares to fight...we can't have this...I'm hungry..."
Atrax shot a web at Yuou only for a sllhouette of Rosemary to appear repelling the shot with water.
"Rosemary...I promise that I won't lose.." Yuou promised before turning to Rafflesia as sllhouettes of the sisters were behind him. "Sweet smelling flowers will never wilt."
"You want to duel me?" Rafflesia asked with a mischevious voice as the other girls sighed going back to their deck. "You are a little young to duel me. I would crush you into small bits easily. Very well...let it be your doom".
"Duel!" they both exclaimed.
...
"I'll go first...I summon Traptrix Atrax (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:1000 Insect/Earth)." Rafflesia said as the dark-dressed girl appeared again. "I place two cards face down and end my turn."
"Dammit! How do you play this game!?" Yuou thought a little nervous. "I think I can summon a monster from my hand..."
"Stop taking your time, you are going to lose anyway." Rafflesia said making Yuou more nervous.
"Sh-shut up! Draw!?" Yuou said copying the moves that Rosemary made. "I summon Aromage Jasmine (LV.2 ATK:100 DEF:2000 Plant/Light) in attack mode..." Jasmine appeared on his side of the field. She looked at Yuou with a sad smile.
"A pathetic monster to a pathetic human...I cannot wait to kill you..." Rafflesia teased licking her lips as Yuou tensed up.
"She's not weak!" Yuou exclaimed. "I activate the Continuous Trap, Humid Winds!" A "X" flashed through his screen.
"Mou...you are new to this game aren't you? This makes this game more easier." Rafflesia smirked.
"So traps can't be used like that...I think I might need to set it first." Yuou thought before sliding the trap and another one to the disk. "I place two cards face down and end my turn."
"Weak. Draw. I summon Traptrix Coronatus (LV.4 ATK:1500 DEF:1300 Insect/Earth)." Rafflesia said as the flower girl with claws reappeared. "I can add a "Hole" Trap card when she's Normal Summoned. It's kind of ironic of you saying you are willing to fight only to die in the hands of my sisters that defeated that pesky girl."
"I'm not going to lose to you and don't call my sister pesky. You are evil and I will put a stop to you!" Yuou yelled pointing his finger to her.
"You are dellusional. I will win. Battle. Atrax destroy Jasmine again." she growled as Atrax's legs striked Jasmine as she tried to parry them.
"I activate Humid Winds and Recovery Plant!" Yuou exclaimed hoping that something will change as the trap revealed itself. "Yes! I can 1000 LP so I can add a "Aroma" monster from my deck to my hand! I add Aromage Rosemary to my hand!"
Yuou:3000
"This won't save you from Jasmine being destroyed." Raffesia commented as Atrax destroyed Jasmine. "You are certainly too weak to beat me..."
Yuou:1300
"No it won't, but I'm still standing..." Yuou said with a weak smile. "Thanks to Recovery Plant, all Plant monsters that are destroyed this turn return to my hand. So Jasmine is safe with me."
"Not for very long. Coronatus finish his LP." Rafflesia commanded before Coronatus rushed him with her two bladed arms.
"I activate the other effect of Humid Winds!" Yuou exclaimed. "Let's hope this works...I can gain 500 LP when mine's are lower than you."
Yuou:1800
"That's all you can muster...you almost lost in my second turn. Even your pathetic "sister" lived more longer." Yuou felt a green aura around his body as Coronatus sliced him non-lethally barely keeping his balance.
Yuou:300
"I'm taking you down..." Yuou said staggering on his two feet.
"Mou...I end my turn placing two cards face down." Rafflesia concluded with a evil smile. "It doesn't matter what kind of monster he summons. We will eat them up..."
"Draw!" Yuou declared as he looked at Rosemary's card. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, Instant Winds! I can Special Summon a "Aroma" monster from my hand and gain LP equal to it's level! I summon Aromage Rosemary (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:700 Plant/Water)!" Rosemary stood in a battle stance in front of him looking back at him with a weak smile.
Yuou:700
"Pathetic. I activate Bottomless Trap Hole! Your monster is automatically destroyed and banished." Rafflesia said as a hole appeared under Rosemary swallowing her up.
"Rosemary!" Yuou exclaimed seeing her dissapear.
"Ohh...you care about her..." Rafflesia cooed with a smile. "It's a shame that I bursted your hopes as soon as they came..."
"I end my turn...you are bad just like the rest of them..." Yuou growled. "They were nice to me...even if I was a jerk..."
"Poor little thing...but prey cannot talk..." Rafflesia said shaking her head. "Draw. I will activate the Spell, Traptrix Funnel. I'm allowed to Xyz Summon from the hand. I overlay Level 4 Traptrix Myrmeleo and Traptrix Nepenthes to bring myself to existence once more...florishing flower of the forest and swamps. Open your petals and feed on the weak. Xyz Summon! Come forth, Traptrix Rafflesia (Rank:4 ATK:300 DEF:2500 Plant/Earth)!" Rafflesia chanted as a copy of herself appeared.
"No...this is the same thing she used on her..." Yuou examined with a hopeless expression.
"Battle. Atrax and Coronatus finish the rest of his LP." Rafflesia said with a smile before the spider girl propelled herself at Yuou's body while the flower girl rushed him. "This is the end for you."
"I activate Humid Winds effect. I can gain 500 LP. Then I use 1000 LP so I can add one "Aroma" monster from my deck!" Yuou responded. "I lost! No! I promised...I can't for them...I can't go back. Even if I don't know it doesn't matter. I will win somehow..."
Yuou:100
"I want a second chance..." Yuou looked up with a brave face with tears going down on his face as it felt like time was slowing down. He closed his eyes and pulled a card out of his deck thinking back to the time he knew love by someone else. It didn't show in his mind very often but he knew it was there. There waiting for him again to embrace his cold heart. "I don't want to die. I got to fight! I'm finishing this!
Yuou:0
Yuou fell to the floor with the card in his hand clutched tightly by the force of the two girls.
"Mou...you make me weak...beating you was a piece of cake. You made me mad. I'll eat you now." Rafflesia said with a serious look on her face.
"I...told...you...I'm not losing." Yuou said sliding the card in his duel disk as a bright light consumed his body. "I need you Rosemary..."
Yuou:1800
"How did you gain LP!?" Rafflesia exclaimed as Yuou stood up with a smirk on his face.
"Thank's to this...to my hope and our newly formed bond Angelica." Yuou said holding up a card with a white-haired fairy. "I'm still in this..."
"You are starting to make me mad!" Rafflesia pouted. "I end my turn. This will be your final moment before you die...any last words?"
"None for now...because I ain't losing today. This one is for you Rosemary! Draw!" Yuou declared looking directly at Rafflesia's eyes. "I activate Recovery Flower's effect in the Graveyard! I can banish it so I can add bring back a Plant monster to the field that was destroyed regardless of where it was sent. I bring back Aromage Rosemary (LV.4 ATK:1800 DEF:700 Plant/Water)!" The blue teen appeared once more next to Yuou's side looking at him with a now proud smile.
"Then I activate the Spell, Monster Reincarnation! By sending a monster I have in my hand to the Graveyard I can add another one back. So by discarding Jasmine, I add Angelica to my hand." he explained."I activate the effect of Humid Winds! I gain back 500 LP again!" A green aura surrounded him as Rosemary grew a blue one.
Yuou:2200
"So what...this will not save you...I will finish you off...I promise..." Rafflesia said with a confident smirk.
"You underestimate me because of my size, but now I'm going to grow up. When I gain LP, I can change one of your monster's battle positions." Yuou said with a confident smile pointing at the copy of Rafflesia. "I think I will chose you! Spurt Reverse!"
"Well that's the only thing you can pick but that won't matter. You see when I Xyz Summon with Funnel, it equips to the monster that it was summoned with. When it's equipped you must attack any monster other than me." Rafflesia said evily as the copy of herself stood up.
"I summon the tuner Aromaseraphy Angelica (LV.1 ATK:0 DEF:0 Plant/Light)!" Yuou exclaimed as a small fairy took a place next to Rosemary. "It's time to finish this...I tune level 4 Rosemary and Angelica! Blue fairy who brings hope and strength. Spread your wings for all to see. Synchro Summon! Level 5! Lend me your power, Aromaseraphy Rosemary (LV.5 ATK:2000 DEF:900 Plant/Light)!" Yuou chanted before the small fairy turned to a green circle. It enclosed Rosemary's body creating a bright light, then a blue-haired woman came from it with large wings.
"A Synchro Summon? Mou...it is still weak to defeat me...but it doesn't matter because I can use my effect to send a "Hole" trap from my deck and use it's effects. I send Deep Dark Trap Hole from my deck so I can destroy it. Say goodbye to your last hope." Rafflesia said a little shocked before smiling. A hole appeared under the blue-fairy pulling her into the abyss.
"No. I send Shroom Layer from my hand to the Graveyard so Rosemary won't be destroyed." Yuou responded sliding another monster to the graveyard before Rosemary used her wings to escape as Rafflesia growled.
"You are certainly trying, but it won't matter...you cannot attack me thanks to Traptrix Funnel." she said.
"Here's my last shot...I hope it works. I activate Aroma's Bond! I gain LP equal to all "Aroma" and "Winds" cards on the field! Since I have only two I gain 1000 LP." Yuou said as a blue aura came through Rosemary's body and his eyes turned blue.
Yuou:3200
"Get all the LP you want but I will eat you in the end." Rafflesia smirked.
"Not done...I activate Rosemary's effect! She can negate a card's effects until the End Phase. I negate Traptrix Funnel!" Yuou exclaimed before Rosemary shot a burst of energy at Traptrix's body.
"No, what have you done to me!?" Rafflesia exclaimed losing her calmness thinking to herself about what might happen next.
"Now, I activate the Equip Spell, Flower Power to Rosemary! She gains 1000 ATK!" Yuou said as a yellow aura surrounded her. Aromaseraphy Rosemary (ATK:3000)
"Attack Rafflesia! Sweet Arc!" Yuou commanded before Rosemary shot a burst of solidifed wind at Rafflesia's copy shattering it.
Rafflesia:1300
"Why you, I will finish you off my next turn you little insect!" Rafflesia yelled before Yuou smirked at her. "What's so funny? I am going to eat you!"
"There isn't going to be a another turn. Beacuse with Flower Power, when Rosemary destroys a monster she can attack again! Destroy Traptrix Atrax!" he yelled before Rosemary shot another wind attack causing Atrax to vanish while Rafflesia fell to the rough ground.
Rafflesia:0
/
"How...is this possible...no one ever beat me..." Rafflesia slowly snapping her fingers before a hole appeared under Yuou swallowing him. "It doesn't matter...you won't survive the hole."
"Maybe not by myself but I can do it if I put my trust in my family..." a voice said from inside the hole. A burst of light erupted from inside it and a black form of a person appeared within it.
"No one survives my hole...what are you!?" Rafflesia asked.
"I'm me! And you're going to going to get what you deserve!" a voice exclaimed as the bright light shot out around it's surroundings. Rafflesia yelled and dissapeared into the light while the figure fell out of the hole into wet grass. It's light faded away leaving the body of Yuou layed out on the floor.
"I won...she's gone, but what about Rosemary? She's a card..." Yuou realized as he stood up looking at his disk. "Why...I just wanted a family..." He saw the deck inside the disk shine a bright yellow from the deck blinding him for a moment before fading away.
"Why was it shining like that?" he said as he picked up the deck lifting the top card of it. "Aroma Garden...it's like their house..." He examined the card seeing a cottage with a large garden full of plants in it's picture. He looked at it solemnly as it glowed green before he was surrounded by flowers of different sizes and color. He looked around him to see the card's background all around him.
"It's just like the card...it looks exactly the same..." Yuou said entering a garden gate where he saw the cottage and plants in front of it. "They gave me all this...it's so amazing..." He cried tears running down his face before he looked under the card seeing a card of Rosemary. "Rosemary..." A blue flash came from the deck before Rosemary appeared in front of him with Jasmine, Cananga, Angelica, and Bergamot in stood in back of her.
"You're back!" Yuou exclaimed hugging her tightly as she did the same. Yuou sobbed in her dress leaving his tears. "Don't leave me again!" Rosemary could not do nothing but hum a soothing tune calming him a little.
"So this is how it feels. Love by other people. In all my life I needed this right now...I want it. I hope it never leaves. The feeling in my heart, what is it? I forgot what it is...is it regret, care, or the feeling of something new. Something is telling me that things will be better..." he thought as he closed his eyes looking into Rosemary's blue dress drenched in his tears.
Well these messages are the ones I write at the end of each one I do. Pretty much working on this for two weeks. Well I got some news. Your's truly and another author pretty much have the same ideas...check it. I actually didn't read it before starting on mine. I don't know what to do. This is actually a coincidence...fudge. This stuff happens to me often. You'll probably already read it so you can probably say I was lying. I'm not. Well, I will figure it out. My advice here is that if you are mad at something walk and vent it out or it will make you all hot inside almot like a burning oven. You want to keep your cool and not let your emotions take you. Here's the cards I used for this chapter not so many.
(Quick-Play Spell) Traprix's Engagement: When a "Traptrix" monster battles, you can add a Normal "Hole" Trap card from your deck to your hand. If you do, you can negate the attack and Normal or Special Summon a "Traptrix" monster from your hand.
(Spell) Traptrix Funnel: Xyz Summon a "Traptrix" monster using two or more "Traptrix" monsters from your hand, then equip this card to that monster. The monster equipped with this card cannot be targeted for attacks if you control another "Traptrix" monster.
(Trap) Tessaract Hole: When your opponent's monster declares an attack while it's in attack mode you can destroy it and inflict damage equal to it's original ATK.
(Quick-Play Spell) Instant Winds: Special Summon a "Aroma" monster from your hand, then if this effect resolves you gain Life Points equal to it's Level times 100.
(Trap) Recovery Flower: When this card is activated, this turn, all Plant-Type monsters that were destroyed by battle or card effect return to your hand instead of sending it to the Graveyard. You can banish this card from your Graveyard and target one Plant-Type monster that was sent to the Graveyard or was banished and Special Summon it.
