To The Agent Red: Thank you very much for the review, as usual! I'm glad that making Judai as an ally of the Light is finally starting to make sense. You're lucky, because we'll have plenty of Asuka dueling with her new White deck in the very near future (just not this chapter).
And now, to everyone: enjoy your children's card game fanfic! We're going for an all-girls triangle duel this time. I'm sure it will bring memories to some of you duelists XD Enjoy!
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Season 2: Light vs. Darkness
Chapter 10: Sleeping Dragon
Some hours earlier…
After her morning trip to fetch medicine for Sui, Sheena returned to her room. She had talked the truth about Sui to Manjoume, just not the whole truth. If Sui refused to relate to him anymore, then he was an unconcerned party. He would not need to know.
"Sui-chan, I'm back," she said, as she entered the room.
"Hey," she said, sitting in front of the computer.
"I met Manjoume-san on the way back. He told me to say hi," she said, approaching her.
"…" her look was unmoving from the screen.
"Don't you want to know what he said?"
"…" Sui's eyes were fixed on the screen, her fingers moving nimbly from her joypad to the keyboard and back.
"I think Manjoume-san really cares about you."
"Sheena," she said with a sigh, "can't you tell I'm busy?"
"You don't want to know about him?"
"If I did, I would still be talking to him."
"I don't know why you dumped him like that. He's such a good guy."
"Can you please let me be?" she said, her hands quickly pressing buttons and keys. "I'm busy."
Sure, Sheena knew. All Sui had been doing besides of sleeping and eating since the Halloween night was the same as she was doing now. What looked like a game, one she didn't understand. That game had lots of statistics, and it sometimes switched to screens with landscapes and bars with numbers. She sometimes caught a glimpse of those bars blinking in what seemed like a fire animation. Quiet melodies spread through the room, all with a Chinese air, that sometimes jazzed up and turned exciting. She could tell the game was old school, and wondered why it caught the girl's attention so much. But she wouldn't share a detail.
Another rather worrying change had occurred on her. Her bright pajamas were now collecting dust. She had worn black, and nothing more than black, ever since that day. Sheena sure hoped it was just a phase, and that Sui would eventually come back the way she was. That night had been very stressful for everyone. If this was what she needed to cope with stress, so be it. If the symptoms persisted, she would see to her meeting a psychologist.
"Sheena…" Sui softly said.
"Hm?" Oh, this was good. It was the first time she had addressed her since then.
Sui waited as the computer turned off. Then, she turned to her. "I know what you're thinking. That I'm kinda funny on the head or whatever."
"Oh, no, Sui-chan. It's just that, I think you must be stressed because of that night."
"It's the opposite. That person you saw until then wasn't me. This is the way I actually am. I acted differently back then because of the circumstances. I didn't like to look at my sickly face, so I wore bright colors to lighten me up. And this is the way I would spend my days, waging war in my own little world. I didn't have energy to do it for a while. Now everything's back to normal. You can ask anyone who knew me from before." She walked to her balcony. "Gonna go sunbath now."
'Somehow, I don't think you're speaking the truth,' Sheena thought. 'Changing so much overnight? I wonder which is the true Sui… But in any case, what you did to Manjoume-san was just too cold… You owe your life to him, remember?'
That moment, there was a knock at the door. Sheena went open it.
"Ayukawa-sensei! Nice to see you here. What is the matter?"
The nurse Emi smiled. "Good news."
The next day…
Another evening more came to the Red Dorm. Once again in total solitude, Manjoume quickly finished studying the lesson for the day—unlike his much slower classmates, he needed very little time to study such a trifling lesson.
And now, there he was. A lot of time to kill and nothing to do. Maybe play some videogame? Well, he couldn't think of one he wanted. Maybe do some housekeeping? Nah, didn't need to, he had people to do it for him. Maybe read a book? He didn't have anyone with an interest on right now. Maybe he could browse the Internet.
He turned on the PDA. His starting menu, which, to his dismal, was unchangeable, showed a Duel Academia chat for use for the students alone. He'd avoided that place like the plague—all there was was people complaining about the stupidest things. Not to mention that he actually had a personal grudge against the regular users because of past experiences. But he gave it a try anyway; it wasn't like he had anything else to do. He would never admit it, but he was starting to feel the solitude.
'I hate Chronos!', 'I hate the cafeteria food', 'I hate the island weather', 'I hate the girls' hard to get attitude', 'I hate the uniform' and 'I hate the people reading yaoi in class' were the top posts.
"Nothing has changed since the last time I visited…" he mused. And then there was another post, dated the day before. The title was "About the White Dorm."
He opened this one.
-It's the same whatever falls upon us from now, whether they are Egyptian plagues, the fury of the elements, fires, floods, typhoons, hurricanes, the YK2, the Third World War… If after all we've been through we can still go on, nothing will stop us. We have non-Whites for a good while. And it's because we seem to be the Academia's 'Full Monty' to them. We like to suffer and have a bad time, be stoned from every angle, being calumniated and perjured, we like to give a bad impression without meaning to, and above all, we like the emotion, the surprises, the vertigo—namely, the strong sensations. So, I would like to speak about these people who are treating us, non-Whites, as freaks.
Saiou is like a cheap Dracula imitation. Asuka is the owner of a Klingon pet, quite originally named 'Asu-Ju'. Judai does whatever all the day and spends his time loitering at the Academia's roof. The little Marufuji wears glasses that are a third of the size of his eyes—to what purpose, I could not imagine. Misawa compulsively writes meaningless equations on the walls, ceilings and even on his food. They keep a dinosaur in the place, too. As for the rest of them, when they are not articulating unintelligible sounds wielding an axe and running through the halls, they skillfully smear walls and computers with spicy sauce. Even though their part of the building looks like a Yoko Ono art piece she made in a bad day.
But chill out, nothing happens. Everything's under control. Non-Whites are here to stay. Let this stand as a challenge to the gods and elements that supposedly favor you: you won't get us—even if you end up ruining us.
Z.L.
Some people cheered for the writer, others were peeved. There was even a post from Chronos that said 'If you have time to write this, I'll give you double homework from now on!'.
"Wow… What a trip…" Manjoume said, and then looked at the writer—Z.L. …
"Wait!" he said. Z.L.—didn't stand for Zhuge Liang?! Was Sui who wrote this?!
He re-read the letter, and after that, he stared at the screen for a long while.
'Sui… Are you fighting this war on your own…?' he thought. Wait—did this mean… Yes, the month Ayukawa-sensei had given her was about over. She was attending class again, it seemed.
He sighed in relief, and turned off his PDA. Then, he walked to the window, staring into the darkness outside.
"You won't escape anymore, Sui. Now's the time to face me again. You're going to explain yourself to me, whether you like it or not…"
Manjoume walked around the Academia with his usual dignified pace. Sui was on the junior classes—like that Kenzan guy. He had subtly followed him around. It was just a matter of time before he bumped into the young girl.
But no such luck. He wondered if he had missed her, or she was not actually up and about yet—after all, that Z.L. could be anyone. But that zesty way of writing was actually one of Sui's trademarks. He couldn't picture a better fit for that letter out of anyone he knew. Judai was too short on thesaurus, Sho was too shy, Kenzan too direct, Asuka not flamboyant… Wait, flamboyant? Maybe it was Fubuki? But Z.L. didn't feel like something he'd use as a nick…
Dejected, he returned to his own class. He'd try again at lunchtime. If she was there—
Some obnoxious laughter snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Aha, so after—what? A month?"
"You want to challenge Asuka-sama again?"
What?! Manjoume's attention perked up. He quickly hid himself and peered at the people talking through a window.
Junko and Momoe were in front of Sui, who was turning her back at him.
"What did you do during that time? Cowered in a corner, trembling?"
Manjoume could see the tension rising in Sui's body, but she said nothing.
"Just go away, you loser! Asuka-sama can't be bothered by a filthy heathen like you! And we can't be seen with someone like you. We will become un-glamorous just by being near."
"…" Sui said nothing.
"Ooh, what's that glare for?! Are you trying to scare us, loser dog?!" they laughed. However, their laughs and expressions looked forced. Sui had indeed scared them somehow.
Manjoume watched as Sui painfully clenched her fists, nails digging in her flesh. He was about to jump out of his hideout, when Sui spoke.
"A loser? Well, it seems to me that your dear Asuka-sama is scared to face this loser!"
"Don't get the wrong idea—Asuka-sama is too busy with her commitments to be dueling anytime!"
"Very well. Please go tell her I'll duel her this very afternoon at the Duel Arena. If she doesn't come, I'll become the new Obelisk Blue Queen by default!"
"Are you, like, dumb? Asuka-sama is not an Obelisk Blue anymore. You can have that title, if you want!" they laughed.
"Okay then, change that to the top lady duelist in the whole Academia. I'll be waiting. If she's not there by that time, I'll announce to everyone that I am the top duelist by default."
"Oooh, cocky, aren't you?" Momoe said, as Sui turned and left. Manjoume hid further to avoid being seen by her.
"What a piece of crap!" Junko said.
"Who does she think she is?!" Momoe said. "Defying our Asuka-sama like this… She's just jealous because she's ugly! Men look at Asuka-sama, not at her!"
Manjoume narrowed eyes.
"I guess we should be telling Asuka-sama… Or else, she'll know when she posts a challenge…"
"Oh, I hate her so much! Sui! What a stupid name, don't you think?!"
Manjoume decided it was time to make his dignified entrance. He walked nonchalantly by. The girls stopped talking automatically. Then he kept walking around. The floor was round, so maybe he could intercept Sui at some point.
A sudden, sharp noise caught his attention. Following it, he found it came from the ladies' bath. Half-covering behind the slightly open door, he peered inside. Sui was there, face red. Tears were coming out of her eyes.
"Again… Once again… It's a curse… Everywhere I go, I'm bullied… No matter what I do… No matter! I was bullied when I was weak, and I'm bullied when I look strong! But they will pay—they will pay dearly! All of them!" she hit the lavatory with such strength that Manjoume thought it would fall.
She opened the tap and washed her face with the cold water. "A loser dog, eh… Very well, this loser dog can bite!"
Manjoume left before she could see him. Loser or not, Sui was really scary when angry.
At lunchtime, he received a PDA alert.
To all students,
A Duel to determine the top lady duelist will be held after class.
Asuka (from the White dorm) versus Sui (from the Blue dorm).
If no more planes crash in the island, today we'll know who the real Queen is!
"This again?" one of the students nearby Manjoume said.
"Oh, that's right. That duel was interrupted because of the plane crash."
As soon as class finished, Manjoume rushed to the Duel Arena. Maybe he could catch up with Sui before the duel started.
But she was already up there, at the Arena. So like the first time he had seen her, but so different. The same defiant look, the same assertive pose—but she was so much better. Now she looked like a person, not like a walking corpse. She was still a little too thin, but she could qualify as quite healthy-looking now. Her hair was still poor, there was no way around that trace of her disease—but the rest of her had fixed up nicely. In health, Sui was very beautiful—not quite as how she looked in his dream or when they closed the demon portal—that was otherworldly, impossibly beautiful—but undoubtedly able to duke it out with the best of them.
"And I had a part on taking her back to health—why? Why won't she talk to me?" Manjoume mused.
"Was that the girl from last time?" some guy at his side said.
"Was that her? I don't remember her looking like this," another said.
"Mmm, she's quite pretty… And she's dueling Asuka, right? The duel of the beauties."
"Too bad…" a third guy said.
"What?"
"That it is a duel… I hope next time they make it a swimsuit contest."
What? Manjoume felt his cheeks raise temperature.
"But you know, they might cheat that way, what with push-up bras and fillers… They really shouldn't wear anything at all, for us to judge."
Manjoume blinked, his brain stopped working for a second before he regained himself.
"Or, maybe they can wear it, but we'd have to do some quality check, you know, with our hands," the guy made a meaningful gesture.
Suddenly, a spurt of blood came violently from Manjoume's nose. 'Shit… It's not like I can lose much blood now…' he thought, quickly wiping it.
The three laughed. Manjoume "accidentally" kicked one of them in the shin.
"Hey!"
"I'm sorry," Manjoume smirked.
"Hey, it's Manjoume."
"Manjoume-sanda."
"Don't worry, we are not going after Asuka."
"Though you can't go after her now, right?" one chuckled.
"But man, that other girl… What was her name again?"
"Sui, says here."
"I wonder if she has a boyfriend."
"I heard she does," Manjoume said.
"She does?"
"Yeah, she's dating him from the day she entered Academia."
Faces of dejection.
"Who is he?"
"Someone from second year, I heard," Manjoume smirked.
"There are some lucky bastards here…"
"Oh, don't worry. There's plenty of fish in the sea," he said, with a King of Chill smile. He was always so good at lying. Not willing to participate in the very mature conversation anymore, he took out his PDA and a couple of earphones. He had bought Prince's 'Love Symbol' album a while earlier, and he thought he would check it out. He pointed to the 'Sweet Baby' song, but his finger slipped a little, and it started playing next song, 'The Continental' instead.
Alright cut, fade to black
Now bring it up and let me kick the facts
And I'm gonna do you like you wanna
I'm gonna do you like you wanna
I'm gonna do you like you wanna be done
He crumpled his lips, turning off the PDA. He was sure his whole face was red. If this kind of things kept popping up, he would need a trip to the restroom soon. And he sure as hell didn't want to miss this duel. Shyly, he peeked up at the Arena again.
Meanwhile, two figures stepped over the arena.
"What are you doing here, Asuka goldfish's poop?" Sui said, an eyebrow raised.
"We are here in her place, loser dog," Momoe said.
"Asuka-sama said she won't duel you another time. First you have to beat us," said Junko.
Sui snorted. "Everyone, did you hear that?" she said with a thundering voice.
"Boy, can she scream…" Manjoume said.
"Asuka is too afraid to face me again because she knows she will lose, so she's sending her lackies in her stead. You all remember how I was winning the duel when the plane crashed and it had to be postponed. Asuka has forfeited her title of Queen!"
"What?!" everyone said.
"Th-that's not true!" Momoe said. "If-if you're so confident, then duel us!"
"I will do that. But there will be no follow-up duel with Asuka. You're her stand-ins. When you lose, the Queen title will be mine!" She turned to the audience. "Fair enough?!"
The public was stunned into silence.
Sui pointed at them. "I am the new Queen. I will duel both of you at the same time. But I won't just win." She narrowed her eyes. "I am going to destroy you. To tear you to pieces."
"She's as scary as she is pretty… Her boyfriend can have her…" one of the guys at the Thunder's side said.
"That may be… But just imagine how she must be in bed!" another smiled wistfully.
Manjoume looked at him out of the corner of the eye. Unadvertedly to him, he blushed.
"To show you I am the Queen, you'll have 4000 Life Points each, while I'll have only 4000. Both of you! Come at me!" Sui said, readying her Duel Disk.
"We will teach you your place!" Junko and Momoe said.
"Duel!"

Turn 1
Junko & Momoe: 8000 Life Points
Sui: 4000 Life Points
Sui's turn
"My turn! Draw!" Sui smirked.
'Boy, her cheeks become a very nice pink when she's fired up… Kind of like the Dark Magician's Girl's… She could be very cute if she wasn't so aggressive…' Manjoume thought. 'She was very cute when she was sick… Why? Was that an act? Or was that a face of her she only showed me?'
"The time has come," Sui smirked.
"What? She drew something good?"
"I pay 2000 Life Points."
"Uh?!" the audience gawked as her Life Points dropped dramatically. (Sui's Life Points: 4000- 2000)
"Let me spell the end of the world for you," Sui made an inviting gesture. "I activate Final Countdown! In 20 turns, I win the duel!"
"Hah!" Junko said. "You think you will last 20 turns?!"
Sui just smirked. "I set four cards. Then, I activate Card Destruction. You discard all your hand and draw as many cards as you discarded. Five of your cards will go uselessly to the cemetery. My hand is empty, so I don't discard or draw."
Junko discarded her hand. Momoe did the same, with a mien.
"Turn end." An ominous purple flame lit over their heads. "Turns remaining: nineteen."
Turn 2
Junko & Momoe: 8000 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=30 Momoe=30
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 34
Final Countdown: 19 turns left
Junko's turn
"My turn! Draw!" Junko said.
"That's a quite perilous strategy… Can she pull it off?" a guy asked.
'She can,' Manjoume thought.
"Reverse card, open! Secret Barrel! You receive 200 points of damage for each card on your hand and field! Eleven cards in total!"
"Wah!" (Junko & Momoe Life Points: 8000- 5800)
"She uses that trick often, I see…" Manjoume mused.
"Next, I activate another Secret Barrel!"
"Waaaaaaaaah!" (Junko & Momoe Life Points: 5800 -3600)
"Amazing… If they had had only 4000 Life points, they would already be defeated!" a guy said.
"D-damn…"
"She only has 2000 Life Points. You can do it, Junko!" Momoe said.
"I summon Sonic Duck in Attack Position (ATK 1700)."
"Reverse card, open! Gravekeeper's Servant! You need to discard the top card from your deck every time you attack!"
"Oh, I almost had a scare. Who cares about that spell," Junko said. Sui smirked. "Go, Sonic Duck!" A card was discarded to attack.
"Trap card, open! Negate Attack!"
"I set two cards face down, and end my turn." 'Gravity Bind is not going to do anything here… I'll have to wait and see.'
"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 3
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=28 Momoe=30
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 34
Final Countdown: 18 turns left

"Is that girl ever going to summon a monster?" a random guy said.
'"No Presence"…' Manjoume thought.
"It's my turn! I draw!"
Turn 4
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=28 Momoe=30
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 31
Final Countdown: 17 turns left
Momoe's turn
'She's not summoning any monsters—why? I think she didn't summon any back then, either… If I could draw Dark Snake Syndrome would be good, but one already went to my cemetery… Any of my monster-destroying traps are useless, too… Damn…'
"I summon Des Wombat in Attack Mode (ATK 1600). With this, we don't receive any Effect Damage!"
"Well done," Sui smirked.
"Attack!" A card was lost from Momoe's deck.
Sui shrugged. "I activate Negate Attack!"
"Argh! I set a card. Turn end."
"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 5
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=28 Momoe=28
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 31
Final Countdown: 16 turns left
Sui's turn
"I activate Nightmare Steelcage! For two turns, no player can attack!"
"Argh! Aren't you going to summon a monster?!" Junko said.
Sui smiled. "Turn end."
"My turn! Draw."
Turn 6
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=28 Momoe=28
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 30
Final Countdown: 15 turns left
Junko's turn
'She's so close to losing! If only I could land a hit, she'll be done!' "I summon Gyaku-gire Panda in Attack mode! (ATK 800)" 'But since she has no monsters, it doesn't increase attack…' "Turn end."
"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 7
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=27 Momoe=28
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 30
Final Countdown: 14 turns left

"Turn end."
'Sui… So, you're fighting alone again… Not that I think you can't, but why?' Manjoume thought. 'Why did you choose this path?'
"My turn. I draw!"
Turn 8
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=27 Momoe=28
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 29
Final Countdown: 13 turns left
Momoe's turn
"I summon Nimble Momonga in Attack Mode (ATK 1000)." 'Since it doesn't look like she's going to summon a monster or destroy ours… But then, Momonga's effect won't activate either…' "Turn end. With this, Nightmare's Steelcage's effect is gone!"
"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 9

Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 29

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!" Junko and Momoe screamed.
"Turn end."
"My turn, draw!"

Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 28
Final Countdown: 11 turns left
Junko's turn
"Urgh… Turn end…"
'Sui is not only delaying them… By giving them a time frame, she's putting a lot of psychological pressure on them. She's not only attacking their game: she's attacking their minds. She's a duelist to be feared,' Manjoume thought.
"My turn. Draw!" in Sui's face was a small self-satisfied smile.
Turn 11
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=26 Momoe=27
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 28
Final Countdown: 10 turns left

"I can only activate this trap during my turn: Hidden Book of Spell. I can return two Spells from my graveyard to my hand." She retrieved two cards. "Final Countdown and Card Destruction. Turn end."

Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=26 Momoe=27
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 27

Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 27
Final Countdown: 8 turns left
Sui's turn
"I set two cards. Turn end."
"I really don't know why she picked Final Countdown again from the cemetery. She coulda picked Nightmare Steelcage again, donchu think?" a random guy said at Manjoume's side.
'So many idiots here… I wonder if Junko and Momoe have realized what that move was for… But, most likely, they haven't,' Manjoume thought.
"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 14
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=26 Momoe=26
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 26
Final Countdown: 7 turns left
Junko's turn
"Turn end. And with this, the spell vanishes! Momoe will finish you off next turn."
Sui shrugged. "My turn. Draw."
Turn 15

Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 26
Final Countdown: 6 turns left
Sui's turn
"I activate Nightmare's Steelcage. Nobody can attack for two turns."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!" Junko and Momoe said. The public became wild.
"You coward!" Junko said.
"Hmm, do I hear some loser dog barking? Nah… By the way, you only have three turns left before the end of the world arrives…" Sui nonchalantly said.
"You… You…!" Momoe said, trembling.
"Turn end."
"It's my turn! I draw!"
Turn 16
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=25 Momoe=26
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 25

"My turn. Draw!"
Turn 17
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=25 Momoe=25
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 25
Final Countdown: 4 turns left
Sui's turn
"Turn end."
"They are so close… Anything can happen now…" another random guy close to Manjoume said, biting his nails.
'Heh. Sui is an interesting duelist. But her tactics would fall like leaves before the Thunder!' Manjoume smirked to himself.
"My turn! Draw."
Turn 18
Junko & Momoe: 3600 Life Points – Cards remaining: Junko=25 Momoe=25
Sui: 2000 Life Points – Cards remaining: 24
Final Countdown: 3 turns left
Junko's turn
"Let me remind you, this is your last turn," Sui softly said.
"No," Junko lifted her head triumphally. "This is YOUR last turn! Trap card, open! Dust Tornado! Say goodbye to the Nightmare Steelcage!"
"Oh nooooooo!" Sui's eyes widened as the spell disappeared.
"Sonic Duck, attack her!"
"Sui!" Manjoume screamed.
To be continued!
Sui: Today's strongest card is…
*Final Countdown*!
It's a Spell Card! By paying 2000 Life Points, after twenty turns, you automatically win the duel! How cool is that?!
Zephyr: Yes! This is the first of a string of four chapters which happen to be my favorite ones. Like the cover? It's actually much bigger than this, and has Junko and Momoe too. You can download it here: fav. me / d9x6fxd
Not very much is shown of Junko and Momoe's deck in the series, so I went with that crappy stall/burn combo they had in World Championship 2008—and heh, Sui is giving them some of their own medicine. I wonder how they like it…
*sighs and shrugs* Don't these girls behave like Captain Tsubasa characters? For the ones who don't know Captain Tsubasa, most matches go like this:
A: Heh, are you B? I have heard of your recent victory against C, but it was a fluke! You suck major ass, and I'll prove it to you next match!
B: Bring it! We won't lose to the likes of you!
What will happen next?! Stay tuned for chapter 11—the end of this match, more dueling, and—revelation time. What revelation? The one you wanted to know.
