The wait is over. I had to put this off because of senior awards night at school. Was I able to make Akiza into what the title is?
I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She must have had some kind of hypnotic ability or something. I actually thought my heart would bust out of my chest. "Until you come to your senses," Akiza said to me, "I'll be using my dragon's ability to knock your head off." My eyes looked to see a monster being pulled out of her graveyard and then up at Stardust to see it was bound by vines. I gulped at the fact that Stardust was at Akiza's mercy. "Look out Yusei," she said in a teasing tone as Black Rose Dragon launched what would have been the deciding blow. "Not happening," I defied, "because I use Iron Resolve!" My facedown card flipped up and formed a protective barrier around my dragon and I. "By dropping half my life points," I explained as my score decreased to 1050, "I can hold off your monster's assault." Akiza slightly scoffed at my attempt to stay alive. "That's all for me then," she said to complete her turn.
I kept silent as I drew another card to give me two cards in my hand. Plus, Stardust's attack strength returned to 2800. This turn, I would have two chances to knock out Black Rose Dragon. Before that would happen, I had to ask her something.
"Akiza," I began, "earlier you said that we're not so different from each other. What do you mean by that?" A noticeable pause followed after my question. The only sound that could be heard was the low growl from Akiza's monster. Finally she said, "Well, neither one of us had an immediate family for a good portion of our lives. We know what it's like to be an outsider." It wasn't much of an answer, but it was viable. I never knew who my parents were, aside from being part of the creation of the first reactor. Akiza was continually pushed away from her parents as a child. As the Black Rose, she orchestrated destruction and mayhem to the people of New Domino. As a Satellite, I was already subjected to ridicule from the higher-ups in the city. Then something strange vibrated through me.
Somehow I had become immobilized against my will. It must have been another of Akiza's powers. She was doing all this to distract me from the duel. As I struggled to move my arms, which weren't bound by the living vines, Akiza began to walk across the clearing towards me. There was something about her walking motion that was….strangely attractive. Her hips gently swayed from left to right. She walked with one foot moving in front of the other, like she was a model on a catwalk. Eventually, Akiza made it to my side of the field.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked her, only to have her finger placed on my lips. "Shh…" she shushed at me. Akiza took hold of my right hand and slowly removed the glove on it. I wasn't exactly keen at she was doing. She moved my right hand, still unmovable by her will, and placed on top of the visible part of her breasts. Now Akiza was pushing it. Even though I couldn't move my hand, I could still feel what she was making me touch. Her breasts, at least from what I could see, felt smooth and firm to the touch. My heart rate began to race to insane speeds. My hand stayed where it was, in Akiza's grasp, for a good long minute. During that time, she stroked my hand as if it were her pet. When it was over, she returned the glove to my hand. I was at a complete loss for words. I never thought stuff like this would happen to me. The final straw came when Akiza licked her right index finger and traced around my lips. She winked at me, seductively, and returned to her side of the field. Now I was able to do move my body again.
I came out of my stupor fairly quick and reassessed what I had to do. I was about to attack Black Rose Dragon. "OK then," I declared, "I'll have Stardust attack Black Rose Dragon!" My dragon charged up its blast and fired it at the speed of sound. Akiza snapped her fingers, as if to activate the effect of her Dragon's Will trap. Black Rose Dragon withstood my attack, although Akiza lost 400 points, bringing her score to 2900. "Got to try better than that," she taunted. I pulled a card from my hand and said, "Don't worry. I will." I zipped a quick-play spell onto the field and said, "I activate Synchro Retribution. This can be played when a Synchro monster on my field deals out damage in battle. Now I can play a trap card from my hand." It was the last card I was holding, and it was all I needed. It was also fitting that I played the same trap from our last duel. "Remember this, Akiza?" I asked her as my card was played. Stardust began to glow. "It's Synchro Ring, and just like before, I'm able to attack a second time, only with twice the attack strength," I explained. Now I would deal the deciding blow. Stardust launched another attack at Black Rose Dragon and ultimately demolished it. Akiza's score dropped to zero in an instant. The vines that were squeezing the life out of me now released me from their hold. It looked like I didn't suffer any internal injuries, because the last thing I needed was another hospital stay. The sound of clapping reached my ears after whatever cards left on the field faded into oblivion.
It was Akiza responsible for the clapping. "Bravo Yusei," she congratulated me, "you fought well, especially given the…circumstances around you." She was right. I could have easily folded because her enticing tactics on me. I licked my lips to clean off what Akiza left behind earlier. It had a….fruity taste to it, which was appropriate, since it was a fruit that kept me at bay through the challenge. "Do you like what you just tasted?" Akiza asked in that seductive tone, "then allow me to give you a full course."
I could myself being frozen again, and I didn't try to resist it this time. Akiza strutted back to me and held my chin with one hand. Her gaze kept me fixated on her face. Before I knew it, I could feel her lips on mine, licking them in the process. Another power of hers must have kicked in, as I slowly lost my grip on reality. My eyes slowly closed and I went out like a light in a snap.
Yusei prevailed in his duel, despite Akiza's attempts to seduce him. Now he's fallen unconscious from her kiss. Is this all part of her scheme? Stay tuned for the next part.
