Last Time
Jun laughed evilly softly and hugged her tight.
Asuka hugged back, clutching the white blazer tightly in one of her hands
"Put it back on. You look so much better in white, my princess." He purred affectionately.
"Okay" Asuka answered, pulling back. She brought it around behind her, slipping one arm through the sleeve, the other arm quickly repeating.
Jun grinned. "Much better. Now your truly the White Queen for good."
"Thank you Manjoume. And you're the one I would choose to be my White Prince."
He blushed and took her hand, leading her back to his room, his fear gone.
End Flashback
"Manjoume, are you alright? You seem a lot calmer than before, was something the matter?"
"Yeah...there was, Sukie."
"What was wrong?"
"I thought I...lost you."
"I'm sorry I worried you like that, I was confused, scared, I didn't know what I was doing or how I felt about it."
"Why babe?" He asked gently.
"I don't know, I just...I just looked at Judai and I couldn't see anything, I was scared I had lost myself."
"Oh...are you ok now my love?"
"Yeah, I'm glad you came when you did." Asuka replied with a smile. "You were able to help remind me of things."
Jun smiled. "Good. But how do I know your one with the Light forever?"
"Don't you believe me? I don't want to turn from it again."
"I believe you but there's always a chance that-" Jun stopped for a moment as he stared at her.
"What is it?" Asuka asked, pausing as she began to feel different, her hair beginning to whiten.
"Look in the mirror." Jun whispered.
Asuka did so, her eyes widening when she noticed her hair looking brighter, white marks appearing on her arms and hands, she looked back at Jun. "What's going on?"
"I don't know Sukie. It isn't me." He replied, as he saw the little strip of her hair that usually hung over her eyes turn pure white.
"We should see Saiou-sama and ask him, he'll know what's happening."
Asuka faced the direction they would need to go, wondering what Saiou would say as a reply to her query, she walked ahead of Jun.
"Saiou-sama?" Jun asked as he knocked on his master's door.
Yami Yugi says:
"Jun, come in." Saiou replied calmly.
Jun walked inside in front of her.
"What is it you have come for? Is something the matter Jun?"
"Kinda…" He replied, stepping aside so Saiou could see Asuka.
"Asuka, I see you've been having difficulty in keeping completely true to the light." Saiou muttered, slightly surprised.
"Yes, what's happening Master?"
"It's just where Asuka was having difficulty trusting the light, its just trying to gain some more control, create a stronger bond with her so she isn't lost again."
"Well yes I can understand that but it still feels strange." Jun replied as he looked at his girlfriend then his master.
"It will seem like it at first, but give it time."
"All right…Asuka?" He asked her, not wanting to use her pet name in front of Saiou.
"Yeah, I feel alright, just that this looking different feels a bit strange. But I don't feel physically different, like it hurts."
"Do you like how you look?" He asked, wanting to hide the fact that he liked it unless she herself admitted to liking it.
"Well, I suppose its alright."
He grinned and walker closer to her before he whispered to her in a seductive tone. "Good cuz it makes you look so much more sexy than before..." He whispered with a devious but loving grin.
"You think so?" Asuka asked, looking up at him almost blushing.
"Oh yes..."
Asuka smiled, blushing lightly.
"Alright then, I'll keep it like this even if I have a choice to go back."
Jun smiled as he softly kissed her on the lips, hoping his master wouldn't mind him displaying his affection for her in front of him.
"I see the light has brought you two closer together." Saiou replied with a smile.
"Yes more than we ever could without it, Saiou-sama." Jun replied happily. His life felt perfect and he knew it. Little did he know things would slowly turn worse before going full circle again.
"I'm glad, I expected the light would bring you two close, maybe the others that have joined will also grow close."
"Maybe." Jun replied with a smile.
Saiou turned away, turning over a card The Breaking Lovers, he glanced back at them, his look stern.
Asuka recognized this and looked nervous.
"You must be careful. This card suggests things will be rough, if you don't stay tight, your relationship may collapse completely. Don't let anything weaken it".
Asuka gasped in shock.
"I see you're surprised Asuka-chan, heed my words, or else you'll find out what I mean in the way you fear."
"Y-Yes master." She replied, a bit unnerved.
"Alright, is there more you wish to know? Another reason you came?"
"No, that's it sir." Jun replied, wanting to get Asuka to their room to try to calm her about what their idol had told them.
Asuka looked as she turned from the room, exiting quickly, Saiou nodded at Jun, commanding he take care of her.
"You ok Sukie?" He asked her as he led her down the hall.
"Yeah, just worried about what Saiou-sama said."
"Why, baby?"
"Anything could happen. We could end up not together, you heard him."
"Nah come on baby I don't believe that."
"You don't believe Saiou-sama?"
"Not on that no."
"I see."
"Your not mad are you?"
"No, how could I be mad at you?"
"I'm not sure."
"Exactly. I can't be."
Jun bit his lip. As much as he believed her he still had doubts.
Yami Yugi says:
"What's wrong Jun? Why are you biting your lip like that?" Asuka asked, concern evident.
"It's just that...well..." Jun started, unsure of how to say it.
"Just that what?" Asuka asked, looking at him. "Jun, what's going on?"
"Don't kill me for asking this but what would you do if I left the Association?"
"Jun! Are you leaving?" Asuka cried out. "No, you can't. Why?"
"I'm not leaving. I was talking hypothetically my angel."
"You scared me for a moment. But I guess...that kinda answers your question."
"I see." He answered coolly, his black bangs hanging over his eyes. He gave her almost a cynical stare as he whispered to her. "Say my cheer." He whispered.
Asuka lifted her head, seeing his look, she swallowed quickly before balling a fist lightly.
"Iichi, ju, hyaku, sen, Howaito Manjome-sanda." She chanted with pride. (1)
Jun grinned softly. When she said it, it made him feel so much stronger.
Asuka smiled, still wondering what the look had been about, turning her head to focus ahead.
"You know, Sukie if you like we can think of a cheer for you my shining white queen."
"No Jun, that's fine. I'm alright going without one for the moment."
"Aww but think about it babe, you'll get a lot more respect."
Yami Yugi says:
"Jun, really, it doesn't matter." Asuka sighed, closing her eyes.
"Well all right then. Do you want to turn in for the night? I'll be around shortly."
"Yeah, alright."
Manjoume smiled at her as he walked down the hall and out of the whitened dorm to the lighthouse. Little did he know that a simple few moments outside the suffocating white would be Manjoume White Thunder's undoing as his real self had begun to fight back when he questioned her about leaving the Light.
Asuka sat on her bed, Jun's strange behavior worried her, she couldn't sleep, but to be out of his presence, it felt almost a relief, she cursed at herself mentally for thinking the way. She looked down at her hands, the white marks that ran along her arms from them, sighing when she thought back to the question, that look.
Manjoume looked at the calm waters, the soft wind blowing the back of his white jacket up.
"This isn't right, since when does Manjoume Thunder take orders from anyone? The Light's done nothing but cause trouble, it's not worth it." The real Jun protested.
"What the?" White Thunder asked in mental protest.
"You heard, I'm not letting you take control of me any longer."
White Thunder gasped as in his mind, the shining warmth of the light became cold, bleak darkness. "What have you done?!" White Thunder screamed.
"I told you, I'm fighting back now. It's me that likes Asuka, you're just an empty power, leave her to me"
White Thunder shuddered in fear as the solid darkness became liquid and he slowly began to sink under it. "Sukie...save me Sukie…" He protested as he was quickly being devoured by the liquid shadows.
Asuka lifted her head with a gasp, feeling something wrong. She rushed to the door, throwing it open and racing down the hallway.
White Thunder was nearly completely devoured by the shadows.
"ASUKA!!" White Thunder screamed before he finally was swallowed by the darkness, his white blazer reverting to the old black one he wore as the true Jun had finally won back control.
Asuka cried out as she noticed Jun turning back as she raced towards the area, feeling the light inside of him dying, hearing his scream echoing in the air.
"Manjoume, no!" she cried desperately, clinging to the small hope she had left.
But it was too late as White Thunder's last glimmer of power his white boots reverted back to his old black ones.
"No!" she cried, halting a distance behind him, panting, she felt like she could burst into tears at any second, giving the look without them as she stared on in disbelief.
"I'm free..." The old Manjoume whispered not realizing that he was about to be yelled at by an incensed Asuka.
"You! What did you do to my White Jun?!" Asuka screamed.
"Asuka?" The true Jun asked, turning to her.
"What did you do to him? I hate you, bring him back!" Asuka continued to yell, tears building in her eyes.
Evil Yuugi says:
"Sukie what are you talking about? I'm Manjoume."
"NO!" Asuka screamed, pressing her hands to the sides of her head. "You're not him. And NEVER call me that, only he could. Only my real Jun could, you're just a dark impostor."
Manjoume looked scared. He reached his hand out and touched her soft pale skin, not realizing he made a grave mistake.
Asuka slapped his hand away instantly, baring her teeth as she glared at him with more hate than she had ever harbored.
"Keep away from me!" she barked, stepping towards him, her hand resembling a claw with her fingers tightening into the same shape. "Don't you dare touch me!"
"Asuka...what's happened to you?"
"What's happened to ME? What did YOU do to my Jun? My White Prince? What did you do?!" Asuka protested, still screaming at him.
"He controlled my body...so I fought him back and he was swallowed by the shadows of my mind."
"He was WHAT?! You idiot! I liked him!" Asuka screamed, slapping Jun across the face. "How could you do that to him? He wasn't controlling you, he was just showing you the light, damn it!"
"No...your wrong..."
"No...YOU'RE wrong! You killed him, you killed my love! I hate you!" Asuka cried, slapping Jun again, her eyes blazing with pure hatred through the tears before they began to stream down her face.
"How could I do that?"
"Because you did. You're like this again, this isn't who I loved, it was him I loved. You should have just kept with the light, now you're nothing."
Manjoume gasped.
"What?" Asuka snapped. "It's true. You killed my love and I could never feel for you as I do for him. You know it".
"Why? He was an insane psycho!"
"So that makes ME an insane psycho too? Damn it, he wasn't a psycho, if anything, YOU are, because you killed him, he didn't kill you!"
"Sukie...this isn't you...your not evil like this..."
"YOU CAN'T CALL ME SUKIE! Only he could!" Asuka yelled, grabbing a fistful of Jun's shirt, bringing him close and slapping him across the face with the back of her hand before shoving him away, glaring at him furiously. "We're not evil, you are, you haven't seen the light. Come on, we could even get Judai too. You're so slow, you should have never fought back!"
Jun shivered, looking at her cold heartless eyes that held no warmth. (Try to do worse than just slapping
"You know what? If it wasn't for the fact that maybe there would be a chance of ever rescuing him, I'd push you right off the edge." She added, shoving him back, trying to force him back to intimidate him, raising a leg and kicking him down close to the edge.
Jun looked up at her with fear-filled eyes. "You...your not even Asuka anymore..."
"Yes I am, you're just not Jun anymore." Asuka hissed, lifting her boot and forcing it down on Jun's chest, digging her heel down.
"No...your heart...its been frozen white...your permentantly enslaved to that bastard Saiou."
"You're the bastard!" Asuka yelled bringing her leg up and forcing it down harder, gritting her teeth as she glared down, forcing more pressure onto her leg.
"Asuka...stop! If you have an ounce of good left in your heart please stop!!" Jun cried out in an almost whimpering tone.
"No, you killed my White prince, I won't stop for you. You didn't show him mercy" Asuka hissed, pressing down harder.
"He's evil... a heartless wicked person just like you've become!"
Yami Yugi says:
"No!" Asuka yelled, lifting and dropping her leg again. "You're the one that's evil. I'll break you all I have to in order avenge my love".
Jun screamed in agony.
"Oh Jun, you don't like this, do you?" Asuka giggled darkly. "Well guess what? I do, I love it".
"But...how can that be?"
"Yes it can. You hurt me, I hurt you. And I love hearing you scream" Asuka laughed, pressing her heel down harder.
Jun couldn't scream, only a small terrified whimper escaped his lips, as he saw blood run from where he was being injured to near the sadistic woman's boot.
Asuka cackled at the sight of Jun screaming and whimpering, pressing down harder, feeling excited at his pain.
"Asu...ka...please...stop..." Jun begged.
"Fine" Asuka replied with a sadistic grin, pulling her leg back and stepping beside his head. "You don't like it?"
"No you inhuman beast!"
"Good" Asuka laughed, grabbing a fist full of Jun and kicking his side to roll him over.
Jun moaned in pain as he saw his pants and boots get stained with his blood from his bloody hands.
"Awww, little Jun not enjoying this" Asuka laughed, kicking him harder, grinning as he laid on his stomach.
Jun cried out in pain, as tears of pain and agony streamed down his face.
"Don't worry, the pain will be over when you admit the truth" Asuka laughed.
She pressed her knee down on his back, pulling back on his head hard with the clump of hair she held on to.
"What truth?" Jun cried. At this point he was completely at her mercy and would do anything to stop the pain. But this also meant she could make the pain the worst possible and couldn't be stopped by him.
"That you're the evil one. The light and White Jun were the good side and you killed him. He did nothing but try to help you. Help us" Asuka called, pulling his head back further.
Jun screamed in pain. "Why are you doing this?!"
"You're the one that hurt us, we never hurt you. And then you insulted us. And Saiou-sama. I won't let it happen and go unpunished, you should consider yourself lucky, think of what he would do".
"So your just torturing me for your own sick pleasure?!"
"Yes. And in a way, to spare you worse. You hurt me, I hurt you, it's only fair Jun" she teased, pulling back harder again.
Jun screamed. "I...give up...your free to do whatever you want with me..."
"Brilliant" Asuka laughed.
She stood up, digging her heel into his back, pulling his head back, almost wishing his neck would break, grinning sadistically.
Jun gave a soft whimper.
"What's that?" Asuka laughed. "Come on, don't you want to fight back?"
"No...I can't..."
"That will make this less fun then" Asuka laughed, pulling his head back harder, digging her heel into his back more.
Jun screamed in agony. "What...can I do...to stop the pain..." He rasped out.
"Join us again" Asuka laughed. "Bringing back White Jun is the only way to save your sorry self".
"And if I don't?"
"Then there's nothing I can do to ensure you survive. No-one is around to help, no-one would want to help you"
"You realize of course I have the edge over you..." Jun teased.
"And how's that? In case you haven't noticed, I'm the one pinning you down" Asuka growled.
Jun laughed. "If you kill me you also kill your precious White Prince..."
Asuka growled, releasing his hair.
"If you don't turn back to him, then it would be the same whether I killed you or not".
"Exactly..."
"So what's the point in keeping you alive if you don't go back?"
"I don't know why I'm telling you this but..."
"But...what?"
"Use...White...V-Veil...on me..." He gasped out.
"Why are you asking for me to? I thought you wanted to fight back".
"I...don't know."
I don't know what game you're pulling by I'd be more than happy, maybe that's the way to get my White prince back" Asuka laughed, drawing the card from her Duel Disk and activating it.
Jun screamed.
Asuka cackled madly watching Jun scream, laying the card down, a bright white force erupted upwards, she stepped back as it to let that light take over from where she had started the damage, laughing wildly as it poured over Jun.
"What's happening...to me?"
"You're becoming my sweet prince again" Asuka laughed. The light around him pressed down, suppressing the real Jun as it began to recreate the light inside of him, twisting his soul to match what Asuka loved, she threw her head back watching him suffer, cackling insanely as she did so.
"Asuka please stop this!!"
"I won't abandon my prince, I won't stop until he's back. Go my precious light, engulf his weak darkness and bring the Jun I love back" Asuka laughed, pointing at Jun as she commanded the force, watching it crushing Jun, intensifying its power as it did as she ordered.
"Your...in...sane..." Jun gasped out very weakly.
"No I'm not, you are, you're the one fighting the light, you're the one about to regain his true self. Say goodbye Jun, it's over" Asuka laughed as the Light took control once again.
Jun gave one final scream before his look reverted to that of White Thunder once again.
This concludes chapter 14!
Till next time!
