Last Time
"I've always been ready for you my prince..hey Manjoume-sama come here i have a little gift for ya."
"Ok." He blushed and did as she asked. "What is it?"
"If i told you it wouldn't be as fun now would it?"
"No, I guess not." He cocked his head to one side and waited.
"Close your eyes." She commanded in a soft whisper.
"Ok." He shut his eyes, anticipating whatever she had in store for him.
She reached over the edge of the bed into her purse and pulled out a framed photo of her in her white uniform winking in a sort of sexual pose. Down near the bottom in red it read to Manjoume the one who showed me the truth he's my hero. below that it said love your queen Asuka. She set it next to him. "Ok you may look now."
He opened his eyes. "Whoa..." was all he could whisper for a moment. "Thanks, Asuka..." Still awed, he looked up at her, then kissed her on the lips. "You're a sweetheart."
Asuka blushed not expecting the kiss.
"Aw, Asuka, how I love you!" Jun wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed her tightly.
Asuka giggled in joy.
"Well, do you want to go to bed now? It's getting late." Jun asked, glancing at the time.
Asuka yawned just a little. "Yeah..let's. Hey Jun?"
"Yeah?" He asked, pulling the covers up.
"This was the best night i've ever had. Well good night my sweet prince."
"I promise you, you'll have a better time." He whispered in her ear, "We haven't gotten to the best part yet. But we will...soon. In the meantime, good night, Asuka." He kissed her on the cheek.
She giggled and slowly drifted off to sleep.
End Flashback
The next morning
Jun yawned as the rays of the sun fell on his eyelids, causing him to wake up. Rolling over, he smiled at Asuka and kissed her on the lips. "Wake up, babe."
Asuka giggled and her amber eyes slowly opened. "Morning my prince." She said sleepily.
He tickled her gently under the chin. "We should get up. We have classes soon. But thanks for spending the night with me. I enjoyed it."
"Yeah so did i sexy." She got up and began to get dressed.
He watched her with great fascination. Then, he arose and began to dress as well. At that moment, there was a sharp knock on the door. "Manjoume-san, I wish you'd hurry up." Saiou's voice came. "We have things to do. Have you seen Tenjoin-chan?" Of course, he already knew where she was. He was simply testing them.
"Yes sir i have, why do you ask?"
"Where is she then?" Saiou asked, smirking. "Tell me, Manjoume-san, where is she?"
"With me, master."
"With you? Excellent." Saiou almost purred, pleased that his subject had been honest even though the situation could have them kicked out. "Now, come with me to the school. We have more members that have yet to be gathered. The cards have foreseen their rebirth, therefore, we must go and seek them out."
Of course master." Asuka and Jun came in with their fingers intertwined together as they walked in with the rest of the white students Sho walking along side them till he went his own separate way.
Judai watched them walk in, dismayed. Then, he did a double take. Was that Sho with them? Confused, he approached the little bluenette. "Sho? Is that you?"
Sho turned to him his eyes widened as he smirked and nodded.
"Sho...what happened? I thought you'd never..." Shocked, Judai trailed off. He had no idea what to say to his friend.
Sho giggled evilly.
Judai frowned. "This isn't like you. It isn't you! What happened? Who did this to you?" As much as he was trying not to, he could feel the anger welling up inside him, begging for release. How could anyone have transformed his friend into one of THEM? And why had he gone along with it? Well, perhaps he had no choice. This is what angered Judai so.
"Manjoume-sama and Asuka-sama defeated me and opened me up to the truth. Now i've seen the light and.." Sho cackled. "You will too."
"I don't think so." Judai told him firmly. "I don't see how this happened...but I plan to save you. I will save you, Sho, if it's the last thing I ever do." Determined, he stared down at the little bluenette. Then, his eyes softened. "Please tell me you'll come back."
Sho laughed wickedly only evil could be heard in his voice. Asuka walked over still holding Jun's hand.
"Asuka..." Judai began, then stopped. His eyes dropped to her and Jun's hands intertwined. "What...Asuka...I thought..."
Asuka smirked. "What dork?"
"How can you...and him...I thought you liked me!" His scratched his head, clueless.
Asuka burst into uncontrollable laughter nearly falling on the floor.
Jun began laughing hysterically as well. "What the hell...? Judai...I never thought you could be so dumb!" He managed to choke out between gasps.
Sho was on the floor also laughing.
Judai watched in confusion as his three former friends laughed at him. "What's so funny?"
Sho was laughing really hard now. He took a deep breath. "You. Your blind to the truth. Tell him Manjoume-sama." He said using a very respectful honorific.
"What's so funny?" Jun mimicked. "Listen to you! What a baka! To think that someone as elite as Asuka would go out with a slacker like you! Ha! As if!"
Asuka cackled. "I know what a loser."
"Like he could ever win a lady's heart with his 'charm.'" Jun shook his head. "Not on your life, Judai. She never liked you, never will." He was silent for a moment, then mocked, "I thought you liked ME!" He burst into hysterical laughter again.
Asuka rolled on the floor laughing again. "Aniki if you want a chance with Asuka-sama come with us.." Sho said.
"On second thought," Jun growled, letting his emotions preside over logical thought, "Don't. We don't need a slacker like you." Then, smirking, "Not that Saiou-sama would really want you. You couldn't get in if you tried, really."
"But Manjoume-kun hes the chosen duelist Saiou-sama wants." Asuka whispered.
Jun scowled. "I don't care--" he began, then stopped. "Ok, Ok, Asuka, I see. I'll do what I can to bring him in the Association, but only because Saiou-sama knows best. But," He muttered, leaning close, "He'd better not take you from me."
Asuka giggled evilly. "He never will."
"Well, in that case, I will do my best. However, I need to know for sure that you can never leave me. I have to make you mine, if you know what I mean." He smirked evilly.
Asuka's eyes gleamed with wickedness.
"Do you understand, Asuka?" He grinned at her, his eyes shining with mischief and perhaps even lust.
"Oh yes my sweet prince."
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Judai asked stupidly. "Sho? Asuka? Manjoume?"
"It's none of your business loser!" Sho said then blushed surprising himself.
Judai stared at the little blunette, horrified. "Sho...aren't you my friend anymore?" He smiled weakly, his soft brown eyes pleading with his former friend.
Sho cackled and smiled maliciously. "Never again baka."
"But, Sho..." Judai looked sadly at the bluenette. "I thought we'd always be friends! No matter what! What about that friendship pledge we gave?" Jun laughed wickedly. "That pledge doesn't mean a thing anymore. He's seen the Light. And unless you do, too, he won't be your friend ever again."
Sho joined in his fellow members' evil laughter.
Next time Sho will defeat Judai bringing him in, but Asuka will be in for a scare. Till then!
