I got a lot of awesome stuff for Christmas! I got Yu-Gi-Oh 5d's Duel Transer! I was very happy. I would get Tag Force 5... or Tag Force 4 for that matter. But I don't have a PSP. It looks so cool! I got a sweatshirt that says Card Games on Motorcycles, a Fullmetal Alchemist shirt, and a Taylor Swift CD. Tell me in the review what y'all got for the holidays. Even if you didn't get anything, say if it was fun or not! If you can't tell, I love Christmas. ^_^ Oh hey, look. There's a story under this. Lol. Please R&R.
"I'll go," Riku said out of the blue. The rest of them looked at him, confused. "Look, we don't know if she's gotten stronger since the last war. So, I'll go see if she's even more powerful. If that is, you don't mind Crow. We may have to run if she's too strong." Crow smiled and nodded.
"Riku, are you sure about this?" Takeru asked. Crow put an arm around his Yami and smiled like a dork. "Is he okay? Did he, like, get drunk in the past three seconds?"
"We can take anything that little brat Rin has to throw at us, right buddy?" The orange haired duelist said, still smiling. Becoming a little concerned for his master, Riku slowly pulled his arm off him and backed away. "Taking that as a yes, so when do we leave?"
Yusei spoke before Takeru, saying, "it would probably be best if we waited until morning. It's already past nine, so why go when she's probably asleep?" The rest of them shrugged in agreement. "Then we'll need our sleep. Especially you Crow." With that, Aki went back home with Aiko and the boys went to their rooms to catch up on some well deserved sleep. Jack fell asleep without any hesitation. Crow was jumping around the room, too excited about his mission for tomorrow. Aki tossed and turned, but eventually fell asleep. Yusei was the only one that didn't get any sleep at all. Takeru nagged at him to go to sleep numerous times, but the Signer just couldn't.
The next morning, everyone was at the garage again. Bruno had somehow come back from where ever he had been and was confused when he saw all the Singers, minus Ruka, in their house. Yusei decided to fill the blue haired teen on everything that had been going on the past month or so. After the half an hour explanation, Bruno needed a nap from all the information he had been given. He was a super genius, yet he wasn't able to take in a half an hours worth of simple spirit info. The Yamis knew that they weren't supposed to tell non-Signers about their existence, but they didn't really cared at this point in time.
Crow put his helmet on and mounted Blackbird. "You ready, Riku? This is gonna be wicked!" Crow shouted, still not able to hide his excitement. Riku nodded, disappearing into Crow's Black-feather Dragon card. "Awesome. I'll be back in about an hour or two."
"Wait, why would it take that long? All you're doing is scouting out Rin's powers," Jack asked. The orange haired teen laughed.
"Yeah, I'm probably going to get bored or hungry by the time this is over, so I'm gonna stop for some pizza before I come home! Later guys!" He called as he revved the engine and sped out of the garage. They all shook their heads and sighed; Crow would always be Crow, no matter what kind of danger you put him through. Crow drove through the streets of Neo Domino, making his way to the twins' apartment in the tops. "This is going to be really easy!"
"Have you not been listening to a word we said?" Riku yelled at him from the card. Crow opened his mouth to say something, but Riku continued. "Before you say anything, yes, I can read your mind! Did Yusei not tell you that? But, Crow, this is going to be hard! Very hard! Not a walk in the park. The last time someone underestimated Rin, they got killed! More specifically, their body exploded from her rage! Do you want that happening to you?"
Crow thought about it for a minute. Riku groaned, hating that his master had to even think about his answer. "Well, no. But if I could come back to life, then I would just to see what it would feel like to explode! Don't you think it would feel really weird to explode?" He answered with a chuckle. Riku wanted to punch his host, but that would probably cause him even more brain damage then he already had. "Hey, don't worry. If anything happens, then I'll just... actually, I never thought about that."
"You're not supporting your own case here, man," Riku mumbled. "I'm tired. Wake me up when we get to the twins' place, then I'll take over your body and confront her. G'night man."
"We're here!" Crow yelled at him instantly. The spirit narrowed his eyes at Crow and growled. "Well, we are. Good luck in there, dude. I'll take your place and steal that nap of yours!" Then the two of them switched bodies. Riku pulled on Crow's collar and dragged him to the elevator to get upstairs. "Okay then, no nap." They went up to the apartment and knocked on the door.
Rua answered the door with a bright smile on his face. "Hey Crow! What brings you by? Do you have a package for us or something?" He asked. Riku didn't know how to respond to the question. "Um Crow, are you okay? You look a little tired."
"Give me my body! I'll handle this until we find Ruka!" Crow yelled. He pushed a confused Riku out of his body and smile. "Nope. No package today little dude. I came by to see if you guys were doing alright. Heard Ruka was feeling a little down lately, she okay?"
"Yeah, she's fine. She's hanging out by herself more, but I don't mind. Means more Tv time for me! You wanna see her? She's just working on her deck again. Says that she wants to challenge Yusei soon for a little fun match up," The male twin said. Riku chewed on his bottom lip in worry. Crow nodded and Rua let him in. He said that she was in her room and that he'd be on the sofa is he needed anything. Crow stood at the door to the little girl's room and let Riku take over for the time being.
"Hey Ruka, you in here?" Riku whispered. Letting his eyes change from white and grey to their natural red and black, he walked in, shutting the door. "Ruka? Ruka!" The room was deathly silent and neither Crow nor Riku could see the hand in front of their faces. And that was a bad thing. In every horror movie Crow has seen in his lifetime, which is many, if the room is dark and really quiet, you're going to get killed. He didn't really feel like getting killed today. He always thought he would go down in an epic Duel with some evil dude, but now it seemed like that wasn't going to happen.
"Crow, that you?" They heard Ruka call. Riku sighed, it didn't seem like Rin was in control... at least for the moment anyway. Ruka flipped the light switch and smiled wickedly, her eyes red and black like Riku's. They both jumped back and yelped. "You're scouting me out aren't you? Seeing if I've gotten more powerful in the past three thousand years? Very smart... Takeru came up with that, didn't he, Riku? He was always the smart one. He is the leader after all. You just stood back and relaxed until we came up with a plan, then you'd jump back right into action."
"That sounds like something I would do. You made it sound like you were awesome and didn't take orders from anyone before," Crow teased his Yami, forgetting all about Rin. The girl smirked and raised her hand up. Riku's eyes went wide, his body frozen in fear. Crow turned to her and backed away slowly. "What's she doing? Dude... dude! What is she doing? She's not going to make my body explode right? ... Right?" He yelled. Riku shrugged slightly, still not able to move.
A gust of sharp air slammed Riku into the wall hard. He cried out in pain and fell to the floor. Crow ran to him and got down on his knees to see if he was okay. "You don't want to mess with me this time around, dorks. My power is ten times greater than it was three thousand years ago! That was just a small dose of just my wind power. Would you like to see fire or water?" She threatened.
"Crow!" A voice yelled from the corner. It was Ruka's spirit. She ran over to the two of them and hugged onto Crow's spirit. He was confused at first, but then put two and two together. He put his arms around the scared girl and held her close. "Leave my friends alone, monster!"
"Now why would I do that, you little brat? It's fun to mess with my once close friends and cause them pain," Rin said with an evil smile planted on her lips. Riku rose up slightly, clutching his stomach in pain. His wounds had already started to heal, but they still hurt like hell.
"Y-you're demented," He muttered through clenched teeth. Rin laughed and let out another gust of wind, hitting Crow and sending him disappearing into the next room. "Crow! Be g-grateful that he was just a s-spirit and didn't smash the wall." Ruka held onto Riku and whimpered into his shoulder. "Hey, it's going to be okay... once we get out of here that is."
"Who says I'm gonna let you punks go anywhere?" Rin challenged. Crow came running in from the other room, a freaked out look on his face. He grabbed Ruka's hand and ran out of the room. Riku soon followed, running close behind. Rua turned around when he heard them sprinting out of their apartment. He shrugged and went back to watching Tv. Rin came out, her eyes seeming normal like she was actually Ruka.
"Hey sis, what happened to Crow? Why was he running out of here with a scared look on his face like this?" He asked, trying to recreate Crow's expression. She smiled.
"I told him a ghost story that I heard at school and he got scared really easily. It was about his Black-feather Dragon Card bursting into flames and then the spirit of his dragon coming to haunt him. He didn't want something that big haunting him, so he ran off to make sure his card was okay. He's such a dork," The girl lied. Rua bursted out laughing and fell back on the couch. "Now that Riku has seen what I can do, he can go back and strike fear into the other's hearts, including their little hosts too."
With Crow, Ruka and Riku, they were panting outside, out of breath from running down thrity flights of stairs to get down to the main level. Crow took over his body again and took out his cell phone. It rang and Yusei answered his phone. "Hey Crow, how'd it go?"
"Dude... I am in so much freakin' pain right now it's not even funny! She... she's nuts that's what she is! How a little girl could be like that is beyond my bird-brain! Ow... aw man. Oh, I was able to find Ruka's spirit and get her out of there. She seems fine, just tired that's all," He explained. "Oh... I don't think I'm going to stop for pizza... lost my appitite when I got slammed through a wall by a gust of wind. I'll see ya when I get back home Yus. I'll tell you more once I get there, 'kay?"
Yusei was silent. Crow shrugged, taking that for a yes and hung up. Ruka sat behind Crow and Riku returned to his Signer Dragon. "Crow... are we going to stop Rin?" Ruka asked quietly. Crow nodded.
"Now that I know this can't be a joke like I really wanted it to be... she is so going down. Besides, when you hurt Crow 'The Bullet' Hogan and his friends... you ain't gonna be feeling all that well after I'm done with ya!" He shouted. People gave him weird looks when they walked by. "I said that to loud, didn't I?"
"Oh yeah. Now lets go!" The youngest Signer demanded. Crow revved his engine and sped off back to the garage, still clutching onto his stomach in pain. They both knew that this was going to be one of their toughest fights yet.
Dude, that seemed to take forever! Sorry if the part where Crow and Riku met Rin wasn't well written. I don't know what's going on with me today. I think Crow would hate me if he knew I was doing this to him. But I love him, he's so awesome. He's like, my second or third favorite character on this show! First is Yusei and it's a tie for second with Crow and Bruno. Well, hoped you guys liked it!
