Chapter 24
"The last time we dueled, you got lucky, Ukimura," Ootake sneered (O: 4000), "This time you won't."
"Oh please, old man," Keiko sneered back (K: 4000), "Now, I was easy last time, but you disgusted yourself as my boyfriend and I can't let that go."
Yusuke and the others ran towards the beach where both Ootake and Keiko are facing each other in a duel, which didn't start yet.
"Who's that guy that Keiko is facing?" Jaden asked
Yusuke let's out a growl, "Hey Tool, what are you doing with Keiko!" he roared in anger
Ootake noticed that Yusuke and the others had arrived, "Well it's Urameshi," he said, in arrogance, "I'm getting my rematch with your girlfriend, for the last time we duel and I assumed that she told you."
Kari growled, "Okay, I'm giving you to the count of……"
"Kari, don't!" Keiko shouted out, "If I don't duel him, then he's going to keep coming back for more, until he gets it in his big ego that I'll beat him, like I did before!"
Yusuke said, "Keiko, listen, if Ootake is going to bother you, then I'm gonna……"
Keiko shot a death glare at Yusuke, which scared him and Jaden VERY much to hide behind Kari, "Okay Kei, I'll let you continue with the duel!" Yusuke said, waving his hands in front of him and being a little freaked about his girlfriend's glare
"You're pathetic," Chazz said, eying the cowering Yusuke "You're actually afraid of your own girlfriend."
Yusuke eyed Chazz, "Hey! You would be too, if you seen her mad," he said
Ootake sweat dropped at this, "And he's a afraid of one human girl and he was spirit detective, before," he muttered, "Now on with the duel!" He whipped out a card from his deck, "First, I'll summon Archfiend Soldier in attack mode!" a purple and black demon appeared in front of Ootake (A: 1900), "And I'll end with two face-down cards!" the two cards materialized behind Archfiend Soldier
"My turn!" Keiko whipped a card from her deck, "First, I'll activate the spell card, Meteor of Destruction!" Just then a flaming meteor came hurling from the sky and hits Ootake hard on, causing the captain of the S.D.F. screaming, "Oh did I forget to mention that my spell takes 1000 points from your life points!" (O: 4000)-(O: 3000)
Ootake clutching his shoulder.
"All right!" Ryoko cheered
"That's show'em Keiko!" Yusuke added
"I'm not done yet!" Keiko declared, "Next, I'll summon Tenkabito Shien in defense mode!"
"Hold it, right there!" Ootake announced, "I'll activate one of my traps, Bottomless Trap Hole, meaning your monster is removed from play!"
Keiko smirked and shook her head, "I obliviously don't know about my monster's special ability. Let me say it that you would understand; It. Is. Unaffected. By. Trap. Cards."
"What now, tool?" Yusuke goaded
Chazz huffed, "Oh please, it's only the first quarter of the duel, slacker," he said, "Keiko hasn't won, yet so don't go celebrating."
Ootake grimaced, "You got lucky, human," he sneered
"Oh really," Keiko sneered back, "Since you got one face-down out, I'll wipe it out go Mystical Space Typhoon!" just then a blue hurricane shredded the face-down behind Archfiend Soldier, "My trap!" Ootake exclaimed
"Then, I'll activate this spell card, Level Limit-Area B!" Just then, Archfiend Soldier was brought to his knees, "What are doing to my monster!" Ootake yelled
"Simple, when my Level Limit-Area B spell card is in effect, all level 4 or higher monsters go to defense mode and that would cover my turn, after I place this card face down!"
Ootake drew, "Time to remove that annoying spell, I'll summon Breaker the Magical Warrior!" he declared as a spellcaster wearing red armor and wielding a sword and shield appeared kneeing on one knee by Archfiend Soldier (D: 1000)
"Uh! Guys, what did that guy said about remove Keiko's spell card?" Syrus asked
"What he meant, Sy, is that he'll destroy Level Limit-Area B with Breaker's effect," Yusuke replied
"That's right," Alexis added, "When Breaker is normal summoned, his attack points increase by 300 and when Ootake uses Breaker's effect on Keiko's spell card than that would decrease Breaker's points to his normal power."
"Now Breaker, activate your special ability and destroy that spell card!" Ootake declared as Breaker's sword glow bright green
"Gee thanks for that!" Keiko said, "Now, activate trap, Divine Wrath!"
"No!" Ootake exclaims
"Now by discarding one card to the graveyard," Keiko slid the card into the graveyard slot, "I get to negate the effect of Breaker and destroy him!" Breaker's sword was short circuited and blew up along with the spellcaster, "What a shame to summon a monster and let it be destroyed?"
"Yeah, that's right!" Jaden exclaimed, "I'm actually glad that Keiko's gonna be my tutor after all!"
Keiko snapped her head back and glared at Jaden, "Jaden……" she said, a venom tone, "……you're bothering me."
"Sorry!" Jaden squeaked, hiding behind Yusuke in fear
Keiko snapped her head away from the brunette Slifer and drew a card, "Now, I'll activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards," the brown haired duelist drew twice, "Okay, I'll summon onto the field, Solar Flare Dragon in defense mode!" just then a blaze of fire a shenlong dragon appears on the field (D: 1000)
"Awesome!" Yusuke exclaims
"Yeah at the end of Keiko's turn, she'll be able inflict 500 points of damage towards Ootake's life points!" Kari added
"Next, I'll activate the spell card, Dark Room of Nightmare!" the virtual card had appeared left of the Level Limit-Area B, "With this, spell card I can inflict 300 points for every time that damage, with the exception of battle damage, is inflicted on your life points!"
Ootake's eyes widened, "No!"
"I'll end my turn, with my dragon's special ability of blasting 500 points away from your life points, Meteor Strike!" The flame dragon blasts meteor showers at Ootake and hits him hard. Ootake shields himself from the on slaughter (O: 3000)-(O: 2200)
Ootake draws his card, "I'll activate the spell card, Change of Heart to take control of your dragon!" just then Keiko's own dragon slides towards Ootake's side
Keiko huffed, "It wouldn't do you much good anyways, because you can't switch it to attack mode!" she said
Ootake smirked, "I'm not using it to attack, I'll end my turn!"
"Hey guys, I don't get it," Jaden said, "Why did Ootake take control of Solar Flare Dragon and end his turn."
"Don't you do any of your homework, slacker," Chazz sneered, "At the end of that guy's turn; Keiko would take 500 points of damage." (K: 4000)-(K: 3500)
Just then, the dragon comes back to Keiko's side and the brunette draws, "You're going to pay for stealing my dragon like that, by me playing this face-down and ending my turn and costing you 800 points from your life points!" (O: 2200)-(O: 1400)
Ootake growled as he drew, "I'm sorry, Ootake," Keiko said, with a smirk, "But this duel has come to an end."
"What?" Ootake exclaimed, "How could you be sure? You're acting like Urameshi, being too cocky for your own good, just because you have more life points than I do!"
"Could Keiko find a way to win?" Alexis asked
"If you think you're going to win, now, human than do right now!" Ootake demanded
"You'll regret those words," Keiko threatened, "Go Ring of Destruction!" Keiko's auto-kill ring was placed around Ootake's archfiend's neck
"Hey, what did you do to my monster, Ukimura!" Ootake roared
Keiko grinned and chuckled, "This trap destroys one monster and all players take damage equal to the attack of the destroyed monster! I have enough life points to spare afterwards, but unfortunately for you, your life points would hit zero. So, Ootake any last words!"
"Yeah, have fun in Losersville!" Yusuke cheered, "Now, finish this guy off, Keiko!"
"I'm tired looking at his face!" Ryoko and Kari added
Ootake took a step back, "No…wait……please……"
Keiko ignored Ootake's plea put her hand up, "Five……" closing the thumb
"No…don't…."
"Four……"
"Please….. you can't……"
"Three……two……one!" Keiko said, "Bye-Bye!" The brunette's auto-kill ring had destroyed Ootake's archfiend. Ootake screams (O: 1400)-(O: 0000) as he's flown back and thrown to the ground.
"Still believe that I beat you with luck," Keiko asked, deactivating her disk duel and felt arms wrapped around her waist from behind her and pulled back. Keiko knew whose arms these belonged to and was glad to be in them, "Yusuke……" she smiled and put her hand at the back of Yusuke's head and felt a kiss on her check.
"Hate to spoil this love fest, slackers," Chazz said, getting our favorite couple to stop fuddling with each other, "But Yusuke and I have a rematch to do, now."
"Again!" Keiko complained, "Haven't you had enough butt kicking yet, Chazz?"
Yusuke lets go of Keiko and walked past her, "Okay Chazz, let's go," he said
Chazz smirked, "That's what I'd……" Just then the bell signaling lunch is over had rung
"Gee Chazz, I guess that we won't have that rematch today," Yusuke said, with a sheepish grin on his face
"What do you mean can't have it today?" Chazz yelled, "There's always after school, Yusuke."
Yusuke grinned, "Like I said, I can't have that rematch duel with you today," he said, "How about Monday during lunch?"
Chazz was speechless as he sees Yusuke running away, "Hey get back here, slacker, what could possibly be more important than a duel?"
Yusuke was far away from Chazz that he didn't hear what the arrogant Obelisk said.
Keiko was wondering herself, why didn't Yusuke want to duel Chazz after school. She knew that Yusuke took a liking to Duel Monsters and didn't get a thought that Yusuke loved Duel Monsters than herself, "Hey Keiko!"
The brunette was broken from her thoughts and looked at Jaden, who was smiling at her with excitement, "So teach, when's the tutoring session!" he asked, with excitement
Keiko raised an eyebrow and remembered what Crowler had assigned her, 'Oh yeah, Crowler assigned me as a Jaden's tutor,' she thought, narrowing her eyes, "Oh tutoring, I almost forgot about that," she said, putting a finger on her cheek, "Well, how does tomorrow sound?"
Suddenly Jaden's grin and turned into a frown, "But that's a Saturday!" he whined
Keiko puts a finger on her cheek and smiled, "Then, it's settled, starting tomorrow will be your tutoring session," she said, simply
"Ah come on, Keiko," Jaden complained, "Saturdays are supposed to be resting from school work!"
"Well, too bad, Jaden," Keiko said, while smiling, "As your tutor, that's the day that I'm setting."
"It's a Saturday for crying out loud, woman!"
"Maybe this would teach you not to sleep in class anymore."
"So cruel," Jaden pouted, which earn him a slap on the head from Keiko, "Now be at the Ra Yellow dorms tomorrow at 7am, unless you know what good for you." Keiko said
Jaden's eyes were the size of saucers, "7am!" he exclaims, "What manic would wake up that early!"
Keiko sent the brown haired Slifer a death glare, "Care to say that again?" she asked, coldly
"No!" Jaden squeaked, in fear
"This should be interesting," Bastion said
"Jaden waking up early then 7 am then yes," Syrus said
Later in the evening, Yusuke had just finished setting up a picnic in the forest, 'I guess this should do it,' he thought with his arms crossed. Looking at the food, which appeared to be ramen noodles, sandwiches and chicken? Needless to say, the Ra Yellow duelist wasn't wearing his school uniform, but a red muscle shirt and jean shorts to the knee and still had his Ra Yellow shoes. Just then, a pair of hands came in front of his face, covering his eyes, "Guess who?" the person asked, in a playful tone
Yusuke smiled and knew who the person was, but decided to have some fun, "Gee I wonder who the weasel is that's putting the wool in my eyes," he asked, "Could it be…hm…Keiko?"
The hands were taken away from Yusuke's eyes as he turned around but only to have his right shoulder being punched, "Who are you calling a weasel?" Keiko asked, playfully glaring at him
Yusuke rubbed his shoulder, "Gees, painful as ever," he muttered and looked at the brunette, who was wearing a white t-shirt, shorts that were mid thigh and sandals. Yusuke smiled, "Real cute, Keiko, really cute," he said
"Thanks," Keiko replied, gleefully
Our favorite couple had finished their food and was sitting by a tree looking at the sunset, with Yusuke's arm latched around Keiko, while the brunette herself had her head onto Yusuke's shoulder. Yusuke pulled Keiko, closer to himself and inhaled her cherry scent through his nostrils and sighed happily, as he placed his cheek onto Keiko's hair, "You're wondering why I cancelled my rematch with Chazz, after school are you?" Yusuke asked.
"Well yeah," Keiko replied, "I mean anytime, anyone challenged you to something you'd end up doing it, without hesitation."
"You're my reason, why I had to cancel it," Yusuke said and peck Keiko's cheek.
Keiko could felt Yusuke's hand rubbing against her arm and smiled at him. Just then, Keiko could sense the depression in her boyfriend's hazel eyes, "Yusuke, what's the matter?" she asked, in a concern tone
Yusuke looked at Keiko, who had worry in her brown eyes. Yusuke knew that he couldn't hide anything from Keiko, when she looks at him like that, "Well, after what happened two months ago, when you first got on this island and I was a total jerk to you, I'm still felt horrible about my behavior." He replied
Keiko sighed with annoyance, she remembered it as well, "Yusuke, that wasn't your fault, you didn't know," she said in a soft tone
"Yeah, but I should have seen it," Yusuke said
"You dumb ass," Keiko puts her hand onto Yusuke's right cheek and caress it, "It's okay, now," Keiko smiled at Yusuke, with reassurance, "There was no way of knowing, besides we're only human and human beings aren't necessarily perfect."
"But I'm a quarter of a demon, Keiko," Yusuke said
"So, that doesn't mean that they're perfect," Keiko said, "So, stop worrying about that, I'm fine right now, because I have you with me."
Yusuke smiled and placed his hand under Keiko's chin, "Maybe I was getting too paranoid, but I can't help it, I love you."
"Yeah, I know that, and I love you too," Yusuke pulled Keiko's face towards his and got her lips to touch his for a long passionate kiss. Yusuke slid his hands towards Keiko's waist and pulled her to him and felt Keiko's fingers playing with his earlobe and moved though his hair. Yusuke's tongue playfully licked the roof of Keiko's mouth and the brunette moaned at the taste and felt Yusuke's hands rubbing against her back. Keiko moaned as Yusuke's hands moved to her waist, latching it securely. Yusuke moved his lips from Keiko's and looked at her glimmer eyes and smiled, "I'm feeling a lot better," he said, "Thanks"
Keiko smiled as she gripped onto Yusuke's neck, "You're welcome" she said, softly and kissed his neck softly and pulled back, "You know, in the past you're always trying to comfort me and I might as well do the same." Yusuke smiled at this, "You didn't have to do it, you know. But, I appreciate it, thanks." He said, pressed his lips against Keiko's and circled his arm around the brunette's waist. Keiko gladly returned the kiss and secured her arm around Yusuke's neck. Yusuke moved his moved from Keiko's and made butterfly kisses down her neck. Keiko laughed at the felt of Yusuke's lips on her neck and slipped her fingers in Yusuke's hair
An hour and half later……………
"I love you, you know that right," Keiko said, lying on top of Yusuke and resting her head on his chest
Yusuke sighed, "Yeah I know, I love you too," he said, gripping his arms that is latched around Keiko and having his face buried in her hair, "You know," Yusuke started, "In your tutoring sessions with Jaden Yuki, maybe you'd need to got a little easy on him."
Keiko eyed Yusuke, weirdly, "What?"
"I know that Jaden could be a slacker at times, but he really is a good duelist and there was a time that he got so close to beating Zane Truesdale."
Keiko huffed, "You're kidding, someone like Jaden Yuki can actually get close to a guy like Zane." She said
"If you were there then you'd see what I mean"
Keiko sighed, "Okay, for you I'll go a little easy on Jaden." She said, with irritation
Yusuke smiled at peck Keiko's cheek, "Thanks," he said
"You're welcome," Keiko smirked, "However……" she moved closer to Yusuke and started kissing his neck, unmercifully. This somehow tickled Yusuke, "Hey stop it, Keiko," he begged as his girlfriend ignored his pleas for stopping.
"Please, cut it out," Yusuke laughed
"No," Keiko replied as she kept kissing Yusuke's neck, without any remorse
"Come on, stop it," Yusuke begged
"Ahem! Yo Slifer Slackers!"
The couple turned to see Chazz, glaring at them, "Chazz, what are you doing here?" Yusuke asked, as he and Keiko got on their feet. Yusuke noticed what was in Chazz's arms, "What Pharaoh?"
Chazz handed Pharaoh to Yusuke, "I found this overweighed fuzzball by our dorms," he said, "Now take it away, now!"
"Why can't you do it, yourself?" Keiko asked
Chazz glared at the brunette, "Because Keiko, I don't want to step foot on Slifer Slacker headquarter, I might catch a disease, now your overweighed fuzzball away from my dorm, got it!" he demanded walking away from the two.
"Gees, can you believe that guy?" Keiko asked, with frustration, glaring at Chazz's retreating back, "What a jerk!"
"Yeah, but that's Chazz for ya," Yusuke said, which was followed by Pharaoh meowing, "Come on, we better take Pharaoh back to Banner now."
