Cristina's Pov~

I thanked the lady behind the counter for the chips and jogged down the hallway to the competitors seating, waiting for the battle between Yusei and Greiger. I didn't wake up to give him good luck, but oh well, I'll have to wait. I sat on the blue couch and olaced my feet on top of the table and opened the bag of chips.

"Welcome to the quarter-finals of the fortune cup. Eight duelists remain and only four will go onto the semi-finals! After the semi-finals are the finals, then the winner will take on Jack Atlas in the champion ship duel! First up in one of our turbo duel is Yusei Fudo squaring off against the powerful Greiger." The announcer said as I snuggled into my seat, smiling ear to ear, "Ladies and Gentleman, let's hear it for Yu-"

"Ms. Cristina?" Someone called out as I groaned and raised my hand lazily, "There's a man outside for you-"

"I'll be there." I shouted and sighed; I felt bad for missing Yusei's beginning. I took my feet off the table and left my chips on the couch before walking down the hallway where the man was leading me. As we reached the back entrance, I smiled when I heard arguing and saw a large blue truck.

"Sir, you cannot go in there without proper clearance-"

"Your proper clearance can go up your butt-"

"Lenrick, calm yourself. "I joked with my hands in my pockets, "It's your fault for coming at this time. Last time you called, you said you'd be here in a hour!"

"I have a life you know!" He snapped as I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips, "Lenny…you are such a whiner."

"Then what are you?" He retorted as I smirked.

"Pretty kicking awesome." I said and walked up to him, "It's good to see you."

"Same here." He said as I smiled. Lenrick was like…I don't know how to describe him, but he got me out of a couple of situations and…made my life better. He even got me my current apartment. He was…too tall for his age. He's only like nineteen, but can pass off as twenty-one. He has…temperamental issues and is a reason why he will carry a pink stress ball. He has dark green eyes and dark brown that was in a small ponytail; nothing special, "Now, where's my thank you?"

"Why? I don't even know if I'm going to like it." I replied as I saw his eyes narrowed and his hand turning into a fist, "But for your amusement, thank you."

"Don't test my patience." He said as I smirked and flicked his nose, "Stop with your damn nonsense!"

"Sheesh! What happened today?" I questioned and walked over his large truck that must, MUST, contain my bike, "Can I open it?"

"What? Stop being bashful and just open it."He said as I chuckled and went to the back and moved the lever. I grasped the handle before lifting it up and staring at my…

"So…what do you think?" Lenrick asked, putting his arm around me… "Uh…Cristina? If you hate it, I swear, I will pour gasoline on that bike and burn it-"

"I don't pay you?" I questioned out loud and jumped for joy, "Oh, I cannot thank you enough-" I stopped talking and ran into the truck…

"…You are a little bit too excited." Lenrick said with a amused face, but nonetheless, followed and help me take my duel runner out. I sighed loudly and stared in pride at my glorious duel runner. It was a luxurious black that shined in the light. I called him "Crimson Sky." It had a slightly larger wheel than the back. It looked like a regular motorcycle…sort of. The glass was a dark red. I…I don't know how to describe it because I don't have the time to explain every single…beauty in this fascinating thing. There were tribal designs on the sides that were white as snow…

"I can't thank you enough…" I said with a large smile, "Thank you."

"It was no big deal…Oh yeah, here." He said and handed me a small box in my hands, "I made your suit."

"…How did you know my size?" I questioned with a smirk, "Are you a closet pervert?"

"Shut your trap." He growled as I chuckled nervously, "I remember from your last suit."

"Ohh…Okay-" I suddenly heard the announcer saying some stuff and I remembered, "Oh shit, Yusei!"

"You say? I didn't say oh shi-"

"No, no. I'll explain later. Put the bike somewhere!" I said hurriedly, running as fast as I can, "I'll be riding later, bye!"

"…What the hell is going on?" Lenrick questioned, rubbing his forehead.

I sat down on the couch and stared at the screen with intensity. Yusei was down to 300 points and I had no more food to eat. Next thing you know, Greiger had lapped Yusei…

"Damn it, Yusei! Let's go!" I yelled on the screen standing up, ready to grab a vase and throw it to a wall, "Kick Greiger's ass down to the ground!"

"Do you always talk this loud?" Someone snapped as I looked to my left…

"Who the heck are you?" I questioned as the guy smirked, "What's with the smirk?"

"I am Zeke, your opponent." The guy said and did a bow. I raised an eyebrow and looked back at the TV, "Do you want to introduce yourself?"

"Obviously not since I am not responding." I said and looked at the TV and saw if there was any way if Yusei can-

"Are you worried about your friend?" Zeke asked, bringing me out of my thoughts, "His name is Yusei, right?"

"Hmm…Yeah." I said with a smiled, "But he's Yusei, so he'll do fine."

"Maybe you should worry about yourself." He whispered as I raised an eyebrow and took a giant step away from him, "It was never my intention to verse a delightful creature like you, but I have no choice-"

"Delicate creature! Do you know who I am-"

"Cristina Yumeko Witen. Your 18 and your birthday is January 16th. You occasionally like to put roses behind your ear. The babysitter of the protégée, Luna, and her brother, Leo. You are known as Pyro-girl or queen. You have a tattoo on your right shoulder blade that says "my one little flower". You are not from here, and in fact, really far. You have a secret obsession with plushies. That is only skin deep." He said with a small smiled as I felt more…threatened and clenched my fists. I slowly went down to my pouch- "No need to get your little knives; that's uncivilized. I was just-"

"Invading my privacy? Yes, you did that! Just who the hell are you? A stalker? Most likely." I said and narrowed my eyes, "Zeke, you are one guy is about to regret messing with me-"

"Yeah, yeah. Let me guess, you're going to let me have the upper hand and make my confidence go up, and maybe summon, I don't know… "Darkfire Soldier 1" and then 3 facedowns. After all of this card wasting, you will summon 'Elemental HERO Inferno." Then you will get rid of all your cards and somehow summon that "Uria" dragon and defeat me… Am I close?" He said and then yawned loudly, "Wow, you're so predictable. It actually is pathetic-" I couldn't stand his…trash. I grunted and went to slap him, until I felt an intense squeeze around my wrist. I tried to pull away, but the grip tightens. I took a deep breath and stared at him in his dark gray eyes.

"Let go of me before you regret it." I whispered lowly as he laughed.

"That was expected too! Hitting a young man with no reason. For shame, Crissy-"

"Don't call me that!" I said and tried to pull away, "Oh, man. Just wait till I verse you. You will be wishing you are fac-"

"Facing the devil- I know…" I huffed in annoyance as his face was closer; talk about a serious case of halitosis, "It's going to be fun." I made a disgusted face and closed my eyes when I felt his finger on my face

"You are so dead man. Just wait." I muttered as he chuckled as if this was a game.

"I'll be waiting patiently for that time." He said as I went to slap him again with my other wrist, "Wow, you really didn't learn anything, did you? Not surprised though…" He said and I whined when I felt something moist on my fingertips. He then let go of my hands and walked away…

"Don't kiss my hands." I muttered and looked up to see he was gone…I was trying to block it out, but…it gave me the chills. Not even Yusei winning at that moment could cheer me up a little.

Sorry for such the long wait and the shortest chapter, but i will make it up...I need some feedback, if it was a good idea to make the person Cristina dueling...a creeper; review please
