Chapter 8: Cereal killer

Yusei. It was the first time the Witch has ever called the Crab by his real name and it felt weird for the both of them. Yusei felt like an excited five year old kid who wanted to be called up in class for show and tell. Sure she sounded serious and almost commanding but Yusei felt delighted that she called him by his name. He just felt nervous as well, when he heard her call for him after hearing all those embarrassing childhood memories.

On the other hand the Witch was not used to calling people by their names. She rarely talks to anyone in school and people don't actually approach her to introduce themselves.

There was a dead silence in the room. No one dared to break the odd tranquillity in the air.

Except for Kiryu.

"What's up? I heard a lot of laughter just now."

Kiryu descended downstairs and felt an eerie atmosphere in the living room.

"What's going here?" He asked again.

"I was about to ask the same thing to one of your teammates."

"So you weren't going to mock him or something?" Jack said disappointed at this.

"No, I was supposed to ask him if this is all of what Team Satisfaction is made of. A bunch of undisciplined and unrefined teenagers."

"What was that?!" Jack almost grabbed her but Kiryu held him back.

"Whoa, easy Jack. I'm sure she was just…exaggerating."

"Exaggeration my foot! She's picking a fight with us!"

"Hmph. Quick to lose your temper when you're the one being made fun of. How arrogant of you."

"I rather be arrogant than be a coward. Hiding your face behind a mask, what are you trying to hide from anyways?" Jack shouted at The Witch not holding back a single word.

"Jack, watch your words." Kiryu angrily warned Jack.

"She better watch hers then."

"I'm sorry for Jack's rude behaviour."

"Kiryu! Why are apologizing to her? She just insulted us! She should be the one apologizing to us!" said Crow.

"Save your efforts Crow. Obviously Kiryu has been bewitched by this girl." Jack said to Crow as he sat down on the couch and lifted his feet on the small table in the middle of the room.

"So what's the agenda for today? Shouldn't we be outside by now fighting duels?"

"Not today. We have something else to do." Kiryu laid some important looking papers on the desk that Crow had just brought in. It was a map of Satellite. There were x marks and circles on some of the landmarks on the map. Team Satisfaction gathered around the table to observe and to listen to Kiryu's command.

"Look here." Kiryu pointed to a spot with an x on it.

"There is a new group of duelists in this area. We're going to drop by and welcome them Team Satisfaction style. Furthermore, we will see if you really can defeat a team on your own."

"So she's just the one who's going to duel then? Why did you bother to call our attention then?"

"You're going to be her back-up in case she needs help."

"So we're downgraded to being back-ups now? What are you going to do then, Kiryu?" Jack questioned their leader.

"I will observe from afar."

"So you're going to hide?" Jack restated Kiryu's last statement.

"No, I said I will be observing her performance from afar. We leave in an hour. Get ready by then."

Kiryu gathered and rolled up the maps and the documents and kept them in a drawer.

"Why don't we leave now?" asked Crow.

"Well I haven't eaten breakfast for a start."

Meanwhile….

SLAM.

"YOU WHAT?!"

"I've sent your daughter to Satellite." His voice stated calmly.

Hideo Izayoi was furious at the man. Mr. Izayoi had just received news that their daughter, Aki Izayoi, has gone missing; who else would you go to if you have a missing person case? The Security no doubt, but he did not expect that Security was the one behind it.

"I want my daughter safely returned to me." Mr. Izayoi glared at the man's back. The Head of Security was facing out the window with his hands at his back. His posture showed that he's in charge around here.

"I'm afraid that's not possible, Mr. Izayoi. Your daughter is a class A criminal, and we just had a report that she broke out of prison. Her whereabouts is currently unknown."

Mr. Izayoi couldn't believe that the Head of Security would actually send a high school girl to Satellite.

"Perhaps I can help you." a sly voice was heard from the dark corner of the room.

"What are you doing here, Arcadia's Head, Divine?" Mr. Head of Security turned around to face the Head of Arcadia Movement. They were what you would call, "head-to-head".

"It's been awhile, Godwin."

Blueorange: …no comment.

Yusei: it was short.

Aki: and poorly written. Slow on the update as usual.

Blueorange: I've been depressed lately. Plus, seems to not work for me.

Divine: why am I suddenly thrown into this mess? I'm not even suppose to be here in the first place.

Blueorange: cause there was a change in plot. You are now part of TBRW.

Kiryu: What?! I won't allow this!

Blueorange: Relax. He's just a minor yet essential addition to the story. Please review!
