*Reposted, and Revised! It' just happens that I happen to have the time after all to edit this! :p However, maintained the previous A/N... ALSO, they may be small changes, but hey, they might end up making you confused in the latter. So, I'd suggest that you at least skim it for your own sakes. That is all. To add, Anonymous Reviews for this chapter will be replied at the next chapter instead.*

Lol, it's funny to see a lot reading the fic whether would it be this or my other fics, it's funny to see that only like what 5-20% of them in general are reviewing. Like hell I care!

I'll still update after all, once I go back to school I won't be updating again. Unless, I can manage, which I highly doubt. After all, it's my freaking last year filled with major subjects.

(Lol I wonder how I'll handle it when I'm finally doing a thesis O.O and I wonder what I'll do on OJT! XD)

Well, prior to that I end up seeing all the reviews I've received especially those from THOCD lols (I am just being sentimental). It's just funny how I explicitly wrote something at a certain chapter then it happens to get highlighted at the other chapter and then they'll notice and comment someting like omg about it. Lol

It's just fun to reminisce the moments when I just started to get back into writing. lols

Okay, to break up the cliche moment, seeing that you're all YGO fans you might relate to this. Lols because I happen to stumble upon the boards in gamefaqs, and saw this and oh so lolled about this so seeing that it was epic I just wanted to share this to you guys as well :p

Anyways, let's get it on with the fic! Please do enjoy another episode of Searching. :p

Take note: Like how I do all my duels (except turbo duels, and triple tag duels) this is a real duel done by me. As in I have to duel someone. (basically just an AI but at least still it's a real one right?) So yeah, totally not made up or whatsoever. That is all.


Searching


-Chapter 07-

I was definitely dumbstruck. I never expected to see him here of all places.

Kiryu Kyosuke

He didn't change at all in regards to appearance as he still had his short silver hair crowning his pale face. Although, prior to that,a lot of things changed. His presence alone is enough to prove that fact.

How can I say that you say?

...For all I feel is a dark aura emitting from him.

Well, it just happens that this man in front of me happens to be one of my closest friends back in the orphanage. He was actually pretty kind, as he acted like a big brother among the younger ones, and protecting them from bullies or any kinds of threats.

He used to be a man of justice, and that impression never left my mind, even after he was finally adopted.

But, now, with the icy glare and mischievous smirk plastered on his face, it was definitely not the face of a man that I once knew, or rather a man of justice.

For all I can see is a face of a blood-thirsty man filled with hateful eyes.

"Yusei Fudo, I finally tracked you down." He uttered, as he took a few steps closer. I on the other hand, quickly took a step back, as I tightened my hold on the girl I am carrying on my arms, making sure that I'll be able to keep the promise of protecting her.

"Kiryu," I uttered, as I gritted my teeth, and gave him a death glare myself. I just don't understand. After all these years, all I can see is anger from his eyes, and I don't even know why he is angry.

And what did he say, 'Finally Tracked You Down'? Just what the hell is happening?

I would be happy to know that you've been looking for me, but not this way though.

"What do you want from me?" I just asked. I could have asked a lot like: What the hell happened to you? What's with you?

However, amongst all these questions popping on to my head, I keep on going back to the most simple question of all:

Don't you remember me?

We may not be blood related, but the ten years that I've spent with him was definitely enough for me to treat him as if he was my own kin—my own brother.

"What do I want? Heh, that you'll find out after I defeat you in a duel." He uttered, as he let out a chuckle that can send shivers down to your spine. But, what bothered me is the way he licked his lip maniacally after his gaze shifted from me to the blond on my arms.

Was that blood lust, or a different kind of lust?

Whatever that look meant, I should worry about other things like, whether...

...Should I fight?

...Should I run?

I really don't know right now, as I felt droplets of sweat finally trickling down at my face, as my heart starting to feel all nervous all of a sudden. As much as I wanted to see him, ironically I don't want to see him at all right now like this.

But, one thing's for sure, I can't rush into things right now at all. I quickly took another step backwards as I tried to glance at the surroundings. We're still in the forest. I can definitely make a run for it. However, I don't know how many of his 'trackers' are hidden amongst the trees that's ready to pounce on us. After all, anything can happen, and I can't make that risk.

But, before I could finally come up with my own conclusion for this dilemma, the girl in my arms struggled from my grasps in a weakly manner. Ignoring the pain she's feeling, she quickly pulled herself away from me causing the both of us to drop on the ground.

"Rina? Are you okay?" I quickly asked completely not minding myself, after all her body definitely had enough. However, I really don't know what she's up to right now.

Damn, what should I do?

Is she making a run for it, or would she face the man head on?

But, whatever her resolve was I'm definitely not allowing her to go for the second option. I mean, I don't even know what Kiryu is capable of! He might have this 'whatever thing' that could cause real damage in a duel, and I definitely don't want that!

Rina just ignored me as quickly pulled herself together. I can see her wince in pain, as beads of sweat now formed on her forehead. I could definitely imagine the pain she's experiencing right now. After all, she couldn't even move a muscle just a moment ago. However, of course I didn't just watch, I quickly came into her aide as I had my hands holding on to her shoulders supporting her in whatever she's about to do.

"Kiryu." She growled, as she finally stood up. "Duel me," was all she uttered as she quickly operated her pink duel brace, whilst maintaining her ground.

"Rina, what are you saying? You can't duel in that condition!" I suddenly exclaimed worriedly. Truly that we're not close, but what the hell, what can I do? I just can't let her go and do something suicidal. She's obviously pushing herself to her limits.

"Shut Up." She groaned, as she tried to take a step forward. However, failed as she suddenly clutched on to her chest tightly, causing her to fall; before she touched the ground, my arms swiftly cushioned her fall as I cradled her in my arms. Her face quickly turning paler, as her breathing became heavier.

What was that just now?

I just don't understand.

Why? Why are you pushing yourself to your limits? I could definitely see her face etched with pain:

...pain due to her injuries...

...pain due to the fact that she can't help but feel so hopeless...

It was written all over her face. However, the man in front of us just let out creepy laugh.

"Man, what a show!" He said with an applause. Seriously, do you like watching people in pain? You're definitely not the Kiryu whom I know! The Kiryu that I know wouldn't mock a person in pain, because you, you'll be the first to rush to help out.

"Rina Izumi, you sure are a feisty one, acting all tough and heroic. However, it is for sure that not even the ala Crimson Dragon's heart of yours can take care of those injuries, let alone suppress that heart disease. You know, if you come with us, we might be able to help you with that, and the rest of your problems."

Huh, ala dragon what? Surpress her what?

"I-," She stated with her weak voice, as her clutched her chest tightly. "I said, shut up! You guys don't have anything to do with it! I don't need you guys interfering with my personal life. I'll definitely duel you! I-I won't let you guys do any further harm to me or to other people! Even if it will cost me my life." She stated, as she once again struggled, however I just couldn't let her. My arms just tightened it's hold on her frail body, as if I am hugging her tightly.

"No!" I just shouted. I definitely can't watch this. "I really don't know what's happening right now! Kiryu!" I growled, whilst gritting my teeth, and my azure eyes glaring at the silver haired man. Yes, anger is all that I can feel right now, and with all the confusion causing a quake on my mind, my rationality was nowhere to be found. "If you want a duel, I'll definitely give you a duel."

Rina now grasps my jacket with all the strength she has left, as she stared at me with pleadful eyes.

"Yusei, you don't know what you're dealing with. You mi-," I know what she's about to say, and I definitely will not submit to thy plead. After all, I am a man. Even if I am not some sort of King or Prodigy, I just can't stand here and watch her pushing herself to protect people from Kiryu. Close friend or not, I just can't.

I just shushed her as I placed a finger on her lips.

"Please have faith in me. I'll definitely defeat him, and as I promised, it is my job to protect you right now." She just eyed me surprisingly, and I know she was about to protest. So, I hastily did something, that even she couldn't decline. As I stood up from the ground, my right arm supporting her body, whilst activating my duel disk. "So, please assist me."

"My, how sweet. But, that doesn't change a thing at all. I'll make sure I'll crush the both of you by tormenting you through this duel!"

...tormenting...

Seriously, is that all that you can say? You're talking as if I am just a stranger. No, rather a mere enemy. Kiryu, have you completely forgotten about me just like that?

No, is that really you, Kiryu?

Somehow, though I know it is absurd, I just wished that this was all an act, and anytime soon he would just burst out laughing for the fact that he got me all worked up.

Sadly, that was just not possible.

However, I won't rest with just a duel, because through this bout I'll definitely find the reason as to why you're even acting like this.

"Let's DUEL!"

[Yusei=4000; Kiryu=4000]

However as the duel started, something happened. Something that I couldn't ever imagine. As this something from his hand glowed, or rather a small glint of light suddenly grew, slowly turning to blue flames that formed a circle around us. Then suddenly I noticed another glint of light appearing in front of me. It was from Rina, however the difference of that to this one, the light was small, and light pink in color.

Rina somehow flinched at the sudden reaction. Just what are these things transpiring before me? For all I know is, this is so not natural.

"You're brave, new student."

Ouch, that's such a distant way of referring to me.

"But, that doesn't mean I'll go easy. Draw! I activate field spell card Mausoluem of the Emperor! This card allows you to tribute summon without tributes, however with a cost of 1000 life points per tribute needed. Thus, I pay 2000 of my life points!" [Kiryu=4000-2000]

With that, suddenly the flames from the field spell card grew and charged towards Kiryu along with the blue flames circling around us, causing him to wince a bit in pain.

Yup, there's no mistake there, the duel isn't normal at all.

However, what I find most interesting is the flames surrounding us, as it grew taller, whilst something appeared above us—a stone like heart.

"Hahaha! Let this instill fear into your hearts, advent, Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu [atk-3000/2500] in attack position!"

From the stone like heart, a purple flash of blinding light started to shine through it's cracked, as a monster from the ground, emerged towering above us. It was definitely humongous in form, rather massive and gigantic!

"No way!" Rina suddenly blurted from out of the blue, she was definitely surprised. If this thing caused the Prodigy to be surprised then this monster is certainly not just an ordinary one. After all, its size per se isn't normal in the first place.

"What is happening right now?"

"I already told you it's dangerous, after all this is no ordinary duel. With that thing out there you could die!" She shouted at me.

...you could die...

Kiryu just smirked at the statement, as he let out another chilling chuckle.

"Now the cat's out of the bag. You're such a spoiler. But, I don't care. After all, what I am after is your souls. I could care less." He simply shrugged.

Our souls?

"Anyways, enough dilly-dally, I set a card faced down then I finally end my turn."

I need to find a way out of this, what death? I definitely don't believe on all these nonsense!

"Draw!" With that Rina, drew a card. Due to our situation, she's the one holding my cards.

"So, this is your deck. Just glancing at your hand, I can already see what your deck is all about. How convenient. Your deck looks pretty flexible. Heh, this is the deck that took out my Gungnir. So, what are your plans? I'm telling you that thing in front of us is really dangerous. I don't know what you have in stored for your deck to pull another set of card tricks to go against that. After all, Stardust Dragon isn't powerful enough to go head on with it."

Sure, just by the size of the massive thing I can already feel how dangerous it is.

"However, I can't help but wonder how you can summon something as big as that with this hand. Though, one thing's for sure, if you can find a way of getting that field spell card you might destroy that thing pretty easily."

So, their weakness is the field spell card, huh? Right now, with what I have I don't have anything that can go against him, however I'll try summoning something to fend him off.

"Alright then, I send Dandylion to the graveyard to special summon Quickdraw Synchron!" With that, Rina did as how I ordered it, and sent Dandylion into the field. However, during the resolvance of Dandylion's effect when sent to the graveyard.

"I don't know what you're planning, however other than killing you off in an instant, I'd rather torment you. Trap Activate! Deck Devastation Virus! By tributing a dark monster with 2000 or higher, I can see your hand, and the cards that you'll draw for three turns. But, most importantly, destroy all monsters with 1500 or less attack!"

Now, that definitely took me aback.

"What?"

With that even before Quickdrwa Synchron was about to be summoned into the field, he quickly got sent into the graveyard along with the rest of the monsters in my hand. After all, even if Turret Warrior was here, he'll also be destroyed. I have no cards in my deck that is above 1500, except for my Synchros. Damn it! He got me shut off!

"Tch, I think I can see now what can beat you so easily now." Rina uttered sarcastically. "Hmf, don't you have any of those miraculous ways of turning the tables around?" She asked. Seriously, I don't know if that was a joke or what, but whatever it is I can't believe that she can interject something like that at a moment like this.

"However, you may have destroyed my hand as of the moment, but Dandylion's effect still resolves, as two Plant Tokens are now summoned into the field in defense position [atk-0 def-0]. Then I set two cards faced down then I end my turn."

This is not the end, like what she said, I'll find some miraculous way, or rather I HAVE to find a way to make a miracle. But, that has to wait until the effect of Deck Devastation Virus' effect resolves. For now, I'll have to stall.

Not good enough. Damn.

"How lucky you are to have a card like Dandylion at your disposal, but that doesn't change anything at all. Draw! I activate Mausolem's effect! By paying 1000 life points, I summon Infernity Destroyer [atk-2300 def-1000]!" [Kiryu=2000-1000]

With that, another blast from the flames shot towards Kiryu causing him to wince a bit, but that didn't remove the smirk-stricken expression at all. However, I am fine with that, as long as I don't get damaged in this duel.

However, I laughed. I am just happy to have switched a few cards to my deck from my side deck moments ago.

"Trap Activate! Bottomless Trap Hole! Any monster that is normal, flipped, or special summoned, as long as it has 1500 atk and above, this card activates and destroys the summoned monster and removes it from play. Thus, I destroy Infernity Destroyer!"

"Tch, what an irritating bug you are. But, even if you can't summon anything anyway. Why bother? I end my turn."

With that, Rina quickly drew a card, which sadly just got sent to the graveyard. Crap, I definitely can't do anything at all.

"I end my turn."

Just two more turns.

"Draw! I summon Infernity Beast [atk-1600 def-1200] in attack position; then use it to attack one of your Plant Tokens!"

"So, what are you going to do? Do we activate or let him?" I really don't know what my deck has in store for me for now, but I surely have a lot of plans with these plant tokens.

"Trap Activate, Mirror Force! Thus, destroying your Infernity Beast!"

"Just how long will you keep this up, with just blocking me off? However, it's fun watching you squirm like this. Maybe I should torment you further after all. I set a card faced down then I end my turn."

"Draw!" Rina finally drew a card, and since it wasn't a monster card, it wasn't destroyed. "I set this card faced down then I end my turn."

"Draw, I summon Infernity Beast on the field, and use it to finally destroy one of your Plant Tokens! Heh, you don't have anything to fend me off anymore, huh?" With that, one of the Plant Tokens finally disappeared.

"Now, I set a card faced down, and then I end my turn. Since Deck Devastation Virus' effect has completely resolved, I can no longer see through your hand, nor will your weak monsters get destroyed."

Finally, the Opening that I've been waiting for. But, would my deck be on my side this time for a full counter?

"Draw!" Crap, not the card that I wanting to see right now, but this works for now. "I set a monster faced down, and then I end my turn."

"Don't you have anything in mind right now? You may have a lot of life points, but if you run out of things to fend him off, you're finished." Rina said, in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone. Simple and obvious as it may be, she's right. However, I know that my deck can help me pull something off. I just have to wait for the right moment.

"Poor you. That card was definitely a Devastation to your deck, huh? Now, Infernity Beast remove that last token from the field! Then I set a monster faced down then I end my turn."

"Draw!" No, still not here, but putting cards in the graveyard works for now. Just what I need. "I set a monster faced down then I end my turn."

Rina didn't react as she just followed through obediently. But, I can see the worry in her eyes as she did, whilst biting her lower lip, causing to tighten my hold on her.

Hoping to reassure her.

Truly, we're on a tight spot right now, but with the cards that I have right now, I'm sure to get through this without a scratch.

"I know that I don't seem to be making any progress, but please trust me. We'll get through this duel unscathed. If we do, I'll protect you with my everything." I stated as I stared directly through her eyes. With the proximity of our faces, I could clearly see the startled expression on her face, as her pale cheeks suddenly became tinted pink.

Was she embarrassed?

I'm really not sure, whatever she's thinking right now, she just looked away, as her eyes shifted towards our hand.

Yes, I'll definitely not break my promise to Jack.

I will protect you.

"Seriously, can't you just stop the cheesiness already? Because, I'll make sure to get the both of you hurt. Draw!"

Hey, I seriously meant that!

"Draw, now Infernity Beast attack one Yusei's faced down monsters!" the monster happens to be Quillbolt Hedgehog, thus ending up being destroyed. "Just one more left." He uttered with a malicious grin. "I set a card faced down then I end my turn."

"Draw!" Hmmm, not exactly, the card I'm looking for right now, but this works for now. "I activate Foolish Burial! This card allows me to send a card from my deck to the graveyard, thus I send Max Warrior into the graveyard. Then seeing that I now have five monsters in the graveyard, I activate Pot of Avarice, by selecting those monsters and returning them into my deck, I can draw two more cards. Finally, I set a card faced down then I end my turn."

I just need one more card. My deck, please, help me.

"Draw! To be honest you got me shaken. I thought you're going to pull off something, but then I again I was wrong. Now, I activate the card Field Barrier making sure that my field can never be destroyed. Then I order Infernity Beast to attack your faced down card!" with that he launched an attack, causing it to flip my faced down monster, who happens to be Shield Wing, which due to it's effect doesn't get destroyed.

"Really, you're irritating me. Why don't you just die?" Kiryu finally gritted in frustration. "I end my turn."

"Draw! I set a card faced down monster and a faced down card then I end my turn!"

"I have enough of this! Draw, I summon Infernity Archifiend [atk-1800 def-1200] in attack position. Then I flip the rest of my faced down monsters, Giant Germ [atk-1000 def-100] and Infernity Guardian [atk-1200 def-1700] in attack position! Then I use Infernity Beast, Infenrity Guardian and Gian Germ to destroy you Shield Wing!" With that, the three of the monsters quickly launched an attack, as it finally got through my small monster.

"Then, I use Infernity Archifiend to attack on of your faced down monsters!" Which happens to be Tuningware, who easily got destroyed. However, as the attack finally went through, I just have to activate my trap card.

"Trap Activate, Graceful Revival! This card allows me to special summon a level 2 or lower monster from the graveyard in attack position, thus I call for Shield Wing back into the field!"

"What the hell! That card again!" I can definitely see that Kiryu is finally getting infuriated. As much as I want to tease him with my defensive tactics, I definitely don't want him to go mad and berserk to cause him to pull off a stunt that can finish us off. "I end my turn."

"Draw!"

Damn it, I think I am running out of cards to defend us. Just why can't I draw the card I needed so badly right now.

Now, I am the one who's feeling frustrated with all of those monsters on the field, even if I was able to have Shield Wing for another turn. I don't think that's enough to keep them from bay.

"I set Shield Wing to defense position." I paused as I stared at my hand.

"Yusei," Rina called weakly with a hopeless tone. I guess, she knows what she's going on right now. "What are we going to do?"

Right now, I have Max Warrior. I could actually him right now and use it to attack Giant Germ to finally end this. However, with our situation and this being our only hope, I just can't rush recklessly especially with all the cards set on his backfield. I can't afford to lose this one card to fend his monsters off. I guess, I have no choice.

"I summon Max Warrior [atk-1800 def-400] in attack position, and then I end my turn." Rina gasped. Did I just do something wrong?

Kiryu, on the other just laughed.

"Seriously, that was an opening! But, now you've lost your opportunity." He stated, with his smirk, and his irritation now subsiding.

Laugh and gasp, I don't care. I am not regretting anything.

"Or maybe you're too desperate to defend yourself, regardless, that doesn't mean that I won't stop. I'll make you regret for losing such, opportunity, now Infernity Archifiend attack and destroy Max Warrior!" With that, due to the clash both monsters immediately got destroyed.

"Then I order, Giant Germ, Infernity Beast, and Infernity Guardian to once again destroy your Shield Wing! Now you don't have anywhere else to run. Allow me to end your misery soon. I end my turn."

I stared at the horror of our circumstance. He was right. No they were right. I was being too careful. Now, I lost ways to defend him off. It all comes to this one card. If I don't draw that now, I don't know we're even able to last this turn.

My deck, I know that there is a card in there that could turn the tables around. I just really need to draw that card!

However, while I was at my thoughts, something that's far beyond my imagination happened.

A shining pink light suddenly glowed from Rina's wrist. Rina pulled her sleeves off, as she found herself curious to what it was.

It was her bracelet, with a spiral heart as it's pendant. I don't know what is happening right now, but I can feel something from it. Something...

...Warm...

...And, reassuring...

Like a beacon of hope.

"What is this? Why is it reacting to you?" Rina wondered, as she raised her hand towards me. The more she closed the distance between me and the pendant, the light became brighter.

I don't know what is happening, but, I can feel something's about to happen.

A miracle.

"Draw!" With that, Rina just ignored her own skeptics, and followed my command as she drew a card. But, the moment I saw the card, my eyes went wide, as I finally whipped up one of my very own smirks.

Truly a miracle.

"I activate my spell card, Tuning! This card allows me to draw out a card with Synchron on it's name, thus I draw out Junk Synchron, then I discard a card from the top of my deck to the graveyard for the cost. Then I summon Junk Synchron! Due to it's effect, I can special summon a monster from the grave yard that's level 2 or lower in defense position, thus I summon Tuningware. Then, I flip one of my faced down monsters, Quillbolt Hedgehog in attack position. Also, since there is a tuner on my side of the field, I can activate Quillbolt's effect from the graveyard and special summon it into the field in attack position! Finally, I tune my two Quillbolt Hedgehogs, and Tuningware to Junk Synchron! Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon [atk-2500 def-2000] in attack position!"

Dad, once again, truly, your gift was once again my strength, and I thank you for that. You may not be there for me phyisically, however I know that you're looking after me wherever you are.

"Now, Stardust Dragon attack Giant Germ! Shooting Sonic!" with that, Stardust Dragon took it's flight from the skies, launching his attack that finally put this long and tedious duel to it's conclusion, causing Kiryu to scream in pain. The flames finally disappeared as the light shining just now dispersed into the sunlight.

"I see. I underestimated you. I shouldn't have toyed with you after all. But, tell you this, I'll definitely won't be easy on you next time." With that, Kiryu finally fled, disappearing from the trees.

"That... That was definitely amazing." Rina uttered completely awestruck, as she finally whipped a smile. "But, I don't understa-," before she could even complete her sentence, her hand suddenly clutched on to her chest, breathing heavily for a few seconds, before she finally lost consciousness.

"Rina!" I called out her name. "RINA WAKE UP!" I tried to shout, as I slightly shake her body. Hoping that she'd open her eyes. But, then it struck me.

*"…let alone suppress that heart disease..."*

"NO!"


And, I'll just leave it there like that. buwahahaha!

Suffer! Kidding.

Anyways, I hope that you had fun with that chapter.

I was supposed to go further, but I was like. Ending it there is just epic as it is, so yeah. I just did. Lols Just wait for next time!

Well, be happy that I already uploaded this, because I intend to not release it today after all, because I'd like to perform a massive update instead, by releasing chapters from my various stories. But, that would take me another week, or maybe at least 2-5 days. (Depending on what will happen or how I'll write the chapter) So, there. I was just really excited, to the point that I posted this within the last minute before I could leave the house so, forgive me if it was a bit erroneous than usual. So, expect a revised version of the chapter a bit in the latter.

Oh yeah, know what I feel stupid. I should have switched Rina's name with Rika from Love Written In The Stars, I mean Rina's name means Joyful Song in Hebrew, while Rika means Strong, Powerful, Brave, Eternal, Honorable Ruler in English, Swedish, Germanic, and etc. Ironic, huh?

Hikari on the other hand suites hers very well (Hikari= Light Yuki=Snow). Oh well, if you want a wish just say the magic words! (Di-di-boding-dibbo-dibbo-ding! Watched too much Dibbo due to my little bro o.o)

Well, another funny thing is, I have to keep myself from writing Hikari over Rina's name. O.O (Man, Rina has a lot of name issues XD I mean that seriously, I find myself replacing Rina over Hikari a lot as I wrote the chapter)

So, please don't forget to review! Your thoughts are very much appreciated! Criticisms and even Flames are accepted!

TC

KirbyStar64: Aww, really? Rina's cool! (also the rest!) I'm glad that you think so :p Anyways, I may not be getting much reviews for Searching per se, however, like I said like I could care less. I'm just growing to love the fic again to the point that I released another update on this one! lol I hope you had fun with this chapter, and that you'd look forward for the next! TC
