Yu-Gi-Oh! BOOST

Chapter 12: Hinted Secrets...

Yurai, Ryuuto, and Aliq were at the Duel Grounds and all of a sudden it became flooded with the student body. Various students filled the dueling areas drawn out on the ground with colorful blinking lights, too bad the student body covered it all up as they bunched together.

"I love dueling as much as the next guy, but this is just too much for the annoucement of the tournament." Yurai said as he continually got pushed and shoved around.

Ryuuto sighed as he was constantly bumped and pratically thrown through the crowd along side his roommate and somewhat sane friend. "Who could blame them. I heard there's a special surprise for those who attend."

Yurai looked pass Ryuuto and not to his surprise Aliq had vanished, "Where the heck did Aliq go? He left us here to die in a crowd of our peers!"

"Ummm... Hello Yurai and Ryuuto." a soft and familar voice said to them. It was the girl with the platinum blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Oh, hey there Cloe. You came to watch the annoucement too huh?" Ryuuto asked.

Yurai turned around, "Sup Cloe."

Cloe nodded, "Well there's that and the fact that Tenshi has just been escorted to the school infirmary."

Ryuuto could barely hear, for some reason the crowd just kept getting louder and louder. "What did you say?"

Although Ryuuto couldn't here a word Cloe was saying anymore, Yurai heard it loud and clear. His natural curiousity was urging him to go... Or maybe he just didn't want to be in his current situation... "I'll see you guys later." The usual up beat tone of his voice had disappeared just like a certain friend that shall not be named. He felt he needed to be serious so serious he would be.

"See you later Yurai." Cloe said as her voice was drowned out by more screams and cheers.

Ryuuto watched as the black and red haired boy slipped out through the crowd, rushing to get to where he felt he was needed.

"Hey there's Ryuuto and Cloe!" yelled Nikki as she made her way through the thick of the crowd alongside Fudo. She was wondering if any of their inner circle would be here today and was shocked to see these two together.

"Ryuuto and Cloe. An odd pairing to be hanging out around together." Fudo teased.

Ryuuto scratched the back of his head, "You're one to talk. Fudo of the motion sickness and Nicolette the troublemaker on a short fuse." he teased back.

All of a sudden the screaming of the crowd turned to whispers as a stage had risen from an opening split in the ground. You just have to admire the technological advances this school has to offer.

Upon this stage was a very familiar face to all those of the dueling community. It was Kaigara Sarutori in his classic silver suit and white tie. His dull grey eyes scanned the crowd of people, although the area was packed he thought he'd see more students here. He moved a strand of his long shining silver hair out of his face and a smile formed across his face.

Also on this stage was the adopted daughter of the successful Kaigara, Mu Sarutori. Her ponytail was blowing in the wind as she stood to the side of her father. Watching the adolecent kids go crazy for her father was not something she wasn't used to. And she generally was okay with all the attention she recieved with him.

"Hello Duelist." the arrogant voice of the billionaire spread out across the area. Kaigara couldn't help but smirk as he thought how glorious this would be. "I know you all are honored as of now and your expectations for me will not be diminished." He slightly turned as he pointed behind himself, prompting a holographic projection screen into the air. "Behold, for this is what you've all been waiting for."

...

"You want to know about the Boosters huh..." the voice of Neoki Xandrix trailed off from his bed as he looked at the face of the new girl. "Give me one good reason why I should tell you." the boy gazed at her with his cold deep blue eyes.

The girl with two pig-tails smiled, "Well if you must know, your friend Yurai sent me here." Kokonoe said as she stared at him with her blue eyes.

Neoki's eyebrow instantly twitched, he shot the girl a frightning glare. "Yurai is not my friend! That kid, he must..." his head suddenly began to hurt. "Urg!" he held his head as he grunted.

"Umm... Neoki. Are you alright?" Kokonoe asked looking confused by the black and silver haired boy's reactions.

"It's nothing..." These instant headaches that would pop up out of no where was something that would come and go from time to time. "There's nothing special about the stupid Booster cards, now leave me..."

Kokonoe stuck her tongue out at Neoki, "Thanks for the help crazy." she said sacasticly before she began walking away.

Just as Kokonoe was walking a man burst in with a girl in his arms. He was in a hurry to get the teen to the infirmary room apparently. "They found her collasped in her room." a man said as he layed the girl with long black hair down on the bed.

A very beautiful nurse gasped, "Poor girl. I'll run an analaysis." she sad as she checked her holographic clipboard of some type. She went on and got the girl's information so she can put it into the computer later, "Tenshi Miko."

Neoki raised an eyebrow, that name was a familar one. He was sure he'd heard it before and it put a nasty taste in his mouth. He took a look at the named girl and his lowered his eyes as he realized who it was. "That girl huh... I see clearly now..."

Kokonoe heard Neoki since she had stopped to observe the girl named Tenshi and her situation. Who ever she may be, Kokonoe could tell she brought interest to him. "If Yurai said Neoki had more understanding of this situation, then just maybe..." she paused as she took time to think about things. "This is very interesting." she said as she tapped her chin. She had a plan to get just what she wanted out of the stubborn boy, but that would have to wait. For now she took her leave, heading out the door skipping.

Neoki pulled out his D-pad from under his pillow, turning it on he had proceeded to one of its many functions. He seemed to be typing something adding it on to previous notes. What ever he was inserting seemed to be of serious importance, but nearly everything he did he considered serious business.

...

Jacob was walking through the halls of the school with a wicked smirk on his face. In his hand he held a card that peaked his interest and he couldn't believe Neoki woulld actually have known where something like this would be hiding. "Haha, he's such a sucker." he snickered. He then found himself being pushed to the side by some black and red headed guy in a hoodie. "Why you!" he then regained some composure and saw that it was Yurai turning the corner. "Oh, its just him." he said kind of dissappointed that it was only that guy.

Yurai continued to run as his head was feeled with worry about his best friend. For all the years he's known Tenshi she was never the one who got sick or anything. Never even had chicken pocks we he tried to give them to her when they was much younger. He had thought it was just some sort of magic guardian angel or something as a child. But he couldn't shake the feeling that this one time would accumulate for all the years she didn't fall to a simple stomach ache or flu. He bit his lip as he approached the door. He found himself hesitant to actually go in now that he'd arrived. His heart beat seemingly stopped for a minute just before it started to feel as if it would burst out of his very chest.

The door slid open giving Yurai a perfect view at his long time companion. He walked in slowly towards her bed not taking his eyes off her. He didn't know what he should do, so he just stood there silently.

"This is your fault you know." the voice from behind Yurai spoke up from his bed. "I'm not telling a lie..." he said again tempting Yurai to turn around.

Yurai knew that rough voice instantly, "What do you mean?" he said without turning around.

"I'm going to spare you the details." the teen said as he got up from his bed with a struggle. He walked slowly to the confused Yurai.

Yurai turned around and looked his peer in his cold dead eyes, "To hell with that Neoki. What did I do wrong!" he raised his voice at him as he clenched his fist very tightly.

"You're too emotional kid. Just hold on a second, it should be here just about..." Neoki held a finger in the air as the door slid open again. "Now."

In walked Jacob with a black bag on his shoulder, "Miss me much." he said sarcasticly. "I got your stupid bag. Don't worry I didn't open it... or did I? I forget." he smirked as he held up a card. "Thanks for the gift. And with that I do believe we're done." The shorter teen said as he walked out the door, apparently with something he really wanted to get a hold of.

Neoki held his D-pad to Yurai showing him what exactly was on it. He then gave it to him to hold as he opened his bag.

"What is all of this? I can kind of understand it, but not in its entirety." Yurai said as he scrolled through various images on the screen. He looked up at Neoki who had just pulled out a grey stone tablet that had glowing green markings on it. "What the hell is that?"

Neoki frowned, "Something I need you for. This is not a permanent thing. But this is the only way I can see me completing the goal since I no longer have 'that' power within me anymore. If you want to save her, you will help me."

Yurai sighed as he rubbed his head with his free hand. He looked back at the calm body of Tenshi as she silently took short breaths of air. Besides the breathing she seemed pretty much dead. He had to know why this had happened and what he could do to stop it, "Seems you've found a way to use me huh. What do I have to do?"

Neoki smiled as he took his D-pad away from Yurai; he gave him a devious glare that would send chills down anyone's spine, "Don't worry we're just going to get the answers to all of the secrets..."
