Intro: The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.
Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!
Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the sides of his comrades and his love. This hero... is the Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 3: Episode 21: The Awkward Date!
In the previous episode of DKR:
As Light had an unexpected family dinner with Misa and the surprised of his father's arrival, Yugi arrived as well using Light's own invitation to chat as a way to enter their dinner and caused troubles for Light, slowly saying and doing acts as if he knew he was Kira.
Left with no choice, Light made a gamble and wrote Yugi's name on the Death Note, as well as Ichigo just in case he left something to her. He returned and now the two alone, Yugi and Light confronted each other. And with the special red apple bought from Urahara and using what he gathered up, Yugi exposed Light completely that he is Kira for he is the user of the Death Note.
Light laughed, congratulating him but he would be dead before he could say anything… for nothing to happen pass the 6 minutes. Left paralyzed of pure terror that the boy is still alive; Yugi learned he is half human due to being the Dragon Knight now thus the Death Note cannot kill him.
The two are in a ceasefire as they have a long full conversation with Light revealing why he uses the Death Note and even offered Yugi a chance to help him create the new world with no evil. Believing in second chances and that no one should deserve to die, Yugi refused Light's offer and his desire to rule the lives of everyone like a god.
Now in a stalemate as neither one can prove he is what they are, the two leave it at that but the real winner was Yugi, leaving someone like Light unable to kill him and afraid the powers of his Death Note don't work by his powers and could protect others.
Speaking to Ichigo with relief, Yugi was fine but his real battle against Light had only begun. What can our young Dragon Knight do to handle Kira and his justice?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... the next day since the previous episode:
It was around probably 5am of the morning as Ichigo had already gotten up, the first time in her life, fully dressed, to wait for the limo. Taking her uncle's advice, she decides to take the training for a bit. The limo soon arrives and takes her to a seemingly abandon building. She is told to enter and so she did, finding her uncle in a large, well-made room with devices and different exercise and other stuff inside.
''Woah…'' Ichigo mutters to herself, never seeing a place this huge before. It looks like a gymnasium-like . She then felt a tap on her shoulder actually popping out her cat ears and tail of pure terror. She turns and sighs of relief to see it was her uncle smiling at her.
''Welcome my niece.'' Akumu greets his niece, hugging her. Ichigo blushes although she lets out a loud yawn, very exhausted. ''Did it have to be early Nya?''
Akumu smiles seeing her tired face not able to stay awake. He knows this is mean of him to ask her this early in the morning to do the training he has offer her but he has good reasons, well his evil reasons.
''For reasons since you can't skip school.'' Akumu says knowing she needs a good education. Ichigo sighs acknowledging he has a point but she has a limit too.
''True but I'm not doing this again.'' Ichigo tells him straight, not planning to do this training this early. Akumu smiled, lifting his pinkie finger to promise her to not make her go through this again. ''Fair enough. Want to start?''
Ichigo giggles lifting her pinkie back and crosses it with his, making a pinkie promise as she nods to the training. ''You bet Nya!''
Akumu nods letting her do whatever with the first part of the training. Ichigo asks for the warm-ups as Ryou and naturally Yugi suggested she should always do those first.
First Ichigo did a few mile laps, pretty easily on all fours. Then on all two legs and barely even tried since she was relaying on her cat-like abilities to help her. Akumu suggests she uses leg weights and try to lift weights too. To his surprise, even doing all that, Ichigo is doing amazingly well though she can't do heavy pulls or such things in her current state. And from what she explains; she can't really HIT hard unlike in her Mew form and even then she has a current limit.
Regardless, Akumu is more than impressed.
''She's doing well with simple training methods…'' Akumu, speaking in his head, examines Ichigo's abilities in just human form. They were better than any average human or even a stronger normal human but he knows there is more potential within her.
Ichigo smiles not even breaking a sweat to her amazement. She must be even stronger now. Akumu then suggests. ''Ichigo, if you want to since no one except us are here, transform.''
Startle by such a request, Ichigo didn't argue about it. ''Um… sure.''
Akumu observes her grabbing on her Mew Pendant Necklace. He is slightly astonished she has that necklace but it looks good on her.
''Mew Mew Strawberry-'' Ichigo begins chanting and kisses the pendant over her lips. ''Metamorphosis!''
The pendant glows and flashes, consuming Ichigo in bright pink light. Akumu watches, his eyes briefly becoming demon dragon-like without her noticing. Ichigo emerges now in her Mew form, making her cat pose.
''So that is how it works.'' Akumu says studying her form, having a better clue how her transformation works and best of all understands the basic concept in how to create one of those pendants. He is aware of the Mew Aqua within them so that wouldn't be hard to mimic it or rather improve on it.
Akumu snaps his fingers as suddenly a training robot of the same size as Mew Ichigo appears leaping in front of her. ''This robot will be your opponent.''
''Easy Nya!'' Mew Ichigo declares, standing on all fours ready to fight. The robot glares at the cat girl and charges at her. Mew Ichigo watches and dodges to the left but she suddenly screams feeling her tail yanked on. The robot somehow grabbed her tail very fast, pulling her and tossing her forward to the ground. The cat girl acts fast managing to land on all fours.
Biting her lips, Mew Ichigo charges forward now on the offensive. The robot observes, ready to counter any of her attacks. To the machine's surprise, the cat girl briefly disappears shocking it before finding itself being punch multiple times by her now in front of it.
''NANANANA!'' Ichigo cries out almost like a cat fighting, punching and kicking as fast and effective she could managing to land dents on the robot.
Akumu watches this smirking as he tells himself mentally. ''Not bad. Her physical state is incredible. With speed and power, she can easily trash a simple training bot.''
The training robot is pushed back, giving Ichigo the chance she needed. She extends her right arm downward, focusing all of her Lightning Nature she's gifted to have, and begins to be surrounded by pink electricity taking the form of ribbons surrounding around her and her right hand. The ribbons begin to make chirping noises as she dashes forward at her opponent.
''RIBBON CHIDORI!'' Mew Ichigo shouts thrusting and hitting the training robot directly on the chest. Her strike isn't able to pierce through the robot unlike Kakashi's Raikiri but manages to make a tiny hole that Ichigo exposes. She focuses as hard as she could on her Ribbon Chidori and with a discharge on herself manages to pass through the pink electrical ribbons inside it.
Akumu watches that in shock as the training robot tries to proceed to attack but in an instant it drops dead, all of its wires and components fired in the inside out. Even smoke came out from it further amazing Akumu. ''And her attacks are capable of so much more.''
Mew Ichigo pants sitting on her butt as she still had some discharge across her body. That was harder on her then she has hoped but she has improved on her technique. Just a little more and maybe… just maybe, she can evolve it to further protect those she loves.
Determine to make that possible, the cat girl gets back up and demands with a smile on her face. ''Send me another Nya.''
''… Sure.'' Akumu, amaze by his niece, accepts her request with a smile. She's even more special than he had hoped she would be… and she will one day stand on his side.
Hours later…
It's the afternoon as all students were finally allow to leave school for the day.
Ichigo yawns as she and Yugi were walking together, heading to the mall to ''hang out''. The tricolor head notices her yawning as he calls her sleeping in many of the early classes and even during lunch. Lunch; the period she loves because she can eat her fish in piece.
''Are you feeling alright Ichigo-kun? You were tired all day.'' Yugi asks pretty worry for her by that exhausting look on her face. Ichigo tries smiling as if it wasn't a big deal replying. ''Sorry, just um, training.''
Yugi blinks, surprise to hear Ichigo of all people was doing something alone and with him being her coach. ''Without me?''
''Um yea, want to surprise you Nya.'' Ichigo replies nervously, wanting to really surprise him with her improved skills. She then gives him a glare, having the right to hide stuff from others too.
''Besides, I can be mysterious too. You always are.'' She tells him puffing her cheeks in a cute manner. Yugi blushes, admitting she isn't wrong. ''Point taken.''
She smiles glad he understands and then she remembers the terrible day Yugi had… well besides how she pee herself but having a shotgun pointing at your head does that.
''Are you alright after what happened yesterday?'' Ichigo asks the tricolor head, still concern about what had happen to him. Yugi eyes her and smiles a bit. "I am… a bit.''
He isn't completely happy about it either with the fact that Light, the one day substitute teacher, was the serial killer Kira and he kills with a magic book of death given to him by a strange humanoid creature who likes red apples. Yugi was relief to learn everyone else wasn't kill by Light using that evil book, the Death Note, but that didn't change they were still endanger if Light feels like killing what's important to him, especially the person next to him.
''You should tell her and the others about Light Yagami and his Death Note.'' Atem advises his partner in his mind since the last time they kept something like Yugi being the Dragon Knight, Anzu and the others got mad and Jonouchi became jealous that Ichigo knew his secret before he did.
Yugi did promised no more keeping secrets… but he couldn't do that, not with Light or what he could do.
''And then what? Jonouchi would give him a piece of his mind and by his own rage, Light-kun would kill him.'' Yugi replies back at the Pharaoh, already imaginary Jonouchi being the guy he is to step up and pick a fight with Light and then Light kills him and then when that happens, he'll do the same to everyone else. ''He hasn't killed the others probably because of how I'm alive and as long as he doesn't know I'm part-human, he won't try to kill any of my friends.''
Atem blinks actually bluff as he theorizes. ''You assume that he assumes that your powers protect yourself from the Death Note and probably more than one.''
''It makes the most sense.'' Yugi answers mentally. If Light could kill everyone, he would have but he hasn't because of what he tried to kill him with the Death Note and failed.
Atem admits to agree that would be the best case and if that is the case, Light won't dare to kill any of Yugi's friends he was aware of even after that scared Yugi gave him.
''If I told the others they would be put in danger and I left things in my particle control… at least until Light tries something to endanger the others which he will.'' Yugi says, believing that if he kept this to himself, the others will be much safer and will remind as such. Atem nods, agreeing with him on this.
''Until then…'' Yugi finishes saying before looking at Ichigo, staring at him suspiciously and tells her smiling. ''I'm fine, really.''
Ichigo hums with narrow eyes, not able to tell if he was lying. ''… If you say so Nya.''
Yugi smiles a bit as the two resume walking. They eventually arrived at the mall.
''Shall we?'' Ichigo asks with her hands behind her back as Yugi replies calmly. ''Yep!''
The two enter and begin their 2 hours of shopping. Ichigo has tryout many outfits, all of which she likes in her style while Yugi watches her.
''What do you think of this?'' She asks the tricolor head, wearing a cute shirt with normal length skirt. To her amazement, Yugi is watching her not even looking into his deck.
''It's fine.'' He responds smiling. Ichigo just eyes him silently, startle by him. ''…''
She turns around to change into something else, feeling unease how Yugi had his full attention towards her. It feels… weird him watching her, but nice… but strange.
Yugi hums waiting patiently. Ichigo eventually returns wearing a nice pink, white spotted sweater with a pair of short pants. ''How about this Nya?''
''It's nice.'' Yugi tells her eyeing the outfit, once more startling the red cherry head. Something is really off as Ichigo quietly leaves to change to something… different. Yugi waits again until Ichigo comes back, asking firmly. ''And this?''
He looks up and blinks, seeing Ichigo wearing a sexy pink, cat-theme hoodie with fake cat ears with shorts with a fake tail. Yugi eyes her, arousal as he responds gulping. ''It… looks great?''
That was the final straw Ichigo had, not able to take the fact he was REALLY paying attention to her and not complaining or looking at his deck.
''Why aren't you scanning your cards Nya?!'' She yells at him, staggering the tricolor head sweat dropping. Ichigo gets very close to him looking madder. ''Don't you hate this?''
Yugi just eyes her blushing redder that Ichigo wasn't aware or too mad to notice she's sitting on his laps facing him up close. It was weird but just seeing her mad still makes Ichigo cute.
''Today I don't feel like it. I guess… I just want to pay my focus to only you.'' He answers her nice but shy. Ichigo just eyes him stun, not thinking he was just being like a boyfriend would.
This leaves a smile on Ichigo's face, giggling. ''Let's try another place Nya. I think I might buy this one.''
''I would like that.'' Yugi replies smiling. After buying the outfit and changing back to her school uniform, the two went to another shop until a certain person spots Yugi.
''Oh Yugi-san!'' A voice calls out to Yugi surprising him with widen eyes. He and Ichigo turn to see a brown haired girl wearing a cute sleeveless top with a light colored long sleeved undershirt and skirts with long socks and shoes.
''Sayu-kun?'' Yugi questions with great surprise to see Light's sister here of all places. Sayu Yagami smiles happily to see the Duel King and nicest guy she got to meet. ''It's good to see you here too!''
Yugi nods blushing, still amaze he gets to see her too. ''Um likewise.''
Sayu giggles. Yugi blushed again… until he felt a presence of fear all over him… no, next to him. The purple-eyes widen his eyes, sweating, just forgetting Ichigo was with him. He tries to turn just slightly enough to narrow his eyes to the red cherry head beside him. And boy is Ichigo both confuse and suspicious about this girl. Ichigo isn't the jealous type… but she can be angry and he didn't want to make this into a big deal.
''Um Sayu-kun, sorry but this is my girlfriend.'' Yugi, acting on impulse, introduces Sayu to Ichigo. To her surprise, Ichigo takes that like a bullet, no, a cupid's arrow going through her heart and soul. Yugi, of all people, called her that name. THAT NAME THAT ONLY A COUPLE WOULD SAY.
''H-h-he just called me his-'' Ichigo utters in her head, blushing redder as if imaginary Yugi telling everyone else that they were a couple. She wantd to purr happily, not able to control herself until she eventually snaps forgetting about the girl in front of her blinking.
''UM… Ichigo Momomiya Nya! I MEAN NYA- Nice to Nya… meet you… Nya.'' Ichigo tries greeting herself, panicking and speaking like a cat, failing hard to stay calm. At least she didn't turn into a black cat.
Sayu sweat drops, never seeing a girl this jumpy before as she greets back.''Eh… Sayu Yagami, nice to meet you too.''
Ichigo nods sobbing a bit until she lifts her head puzzle. ''Yagami?''
Sayu nods smiling a bit telling her. ''Yea, your class met my brother, Light Yagami.''
Yugi frowns a bit, really not wanted to be reminded of him. Ichigo blinks even more puzzle before saying with an energetic but nervous voice. ''Wait the super smart university student has a normal ''I-like-that-outfit'' sister Nya?''
Sayu blushes, not thinking her current clothes were cute. Now Ichigo grows more suspicious by the fact this girl who knows Yugi and no one else knew Light had a sister from class.
''Wait how did you two met?'' The red cherry head asks looking towards Yugi. The tricolor head didn't reply but Sayu did. ''Oh Yugi-san visited my house to thank Light for the lesson he taught your class.''
Ichigo just stares at Yugi, seeing his look of unease. Sayu feels like a third wheel questioning pretty off. ''Didn't you know?''
No one replied making this awkward. Ichigo finally asks directly to Yugi. "How come you didn't bother to tell the others about this Nya… like me?''
Yugi eyes her, still looking a bit sad as he tries to act like it isn't a big deal answering. "Um it was late and well I was in the neighborhood and…''
He oddly stops, seeing Ichigo still too suspicious to think there was more to this. Yugi gulps, rubbing his head slightly.
Sayu frowns, knowing she might have said something wrong, explaining herself. ''And he wanted to thank Light for the lessons. He and my brother seem like good friends now. Anyway, Yugi-san, thank you again for the autograph and those nice words last night.''
Ichigo blinks as did Yugi, both turning to face Sayu who adds smiling. ''When you said that, it cheered me up a bit about that I can be special too.''
Ichigo blushes, eyeing Yugi and maybe she was being too suspicious. Yugi wouldn't do something wrong unless it's to protect everyone else. Yugi finds some relief, thanking Sayu. ''I'm glad to hear it.''
''Yea… those would be things that Light would tell me to make me happy.'' Sayu, now looking sadden, adds. Yugi stares surprise, not imagining Light saying similar words.
Sayu sighs, recalling back to her childhood. She was small but she remembered the bright smile on Light's face. He was so happy and carefree about always doing the right thing.
''Light used to be a happy person, never concern about his grades but rather how happy he was especially to make me happy.'' She starts explaining with a smile on her face, giggling recalling one time when Light made her really happy. ''I remember a time I fell hard and started crying… and then Light appeared and he made silly faces to make me happy.''
Ichigo giggles already imagining the silly faces. Yugi struggles to speak recalling the evil grin of Light.
''If anything, he understood the feelings of others and would make it his job to make things right.'' Sayu points out used to see Light use such a gift to help or cheer anyone up looking up at Yugi who can do the same. ''That's what I felt about you, Yugi-san. You have that presence that my brother, unfortunate, lost.''
Yugi is left surprise to hear that as Ichigo questions. ''He lost it?''
Sayu nods frowning. She didn't remember when Light change but when he did; she couldn't recognize him. Even now, her big brother is a completely different person. ''Ever since he got older, Light began to slowly lose his smile and saw things as depressing. And lately, he just doesn't seem like the same person. It's like he became someone else.''
Ichigo is really surprise to hear that while Yugi, still shock by what Sayu says before wasn't taking it well. ''Light-kun understood the feelings of other? Like me?''
Then why? Why would Light, who can understand the feelings of others, become a monster of his former self? This make no sense to him and he needs to know.
''Do you know exactly how he lost it, Sayu-kun?'' Yugi asks of the young Yagami sibling who shrugs her shoulders. ''No clue. I don't bother asking him, since he is my big brother and knows things ''MORE'' than me.''
Yugi sighs a bit, wishing she had an idea when but that will be something he'll have to learn from the man himself.
''I hope that maybe, since you and Light seem like good friends, you could try to make him go back to his old self, maybe?'' Sayu, not sure why she was asking a person she just met, requests Yugi to revive her big brother to his former self. Yugi just stares at her as she adds, crying a bit. ''I don't know how to repay the debt to you but I will find the way, I promise!''
Yugi stands silent, not sure how he could help Sayu. If only she knows about Light and the Death Note and his quest to become god… but… just getting the idea that Light was able to understand others almost inspires him wanting to save him. He still wishes to be friends with him and maybe this was the only way.
Smiling, Yugi nods to that promise. ''You bet! I'll make Light-kun happy again. I'll do my best.''
Sayu blushes, happy to have asked someone so kind like him. Maybe now her brother will not be some kind of weirdo in his room alone and smile like he used to.
Ichigo giggles, once more seeing why Yugi is as special and kind the way he is. ''Yugi-kun would do his best to make something wonderful happen. That's why he's special and kind.''
Yugi smiles, still not sure if he can keep such a promise right to the bitter end.
''There he is!'' A voice suddenly shouts startling the three. They turn to see two girls approach them. One of them was the blonde former Obelisk student Asuka Tenjouin, a very special friend of Judai and the other was the former bluenette Osiris student Rei Saotome, pointing her finger at Yugi.
''Aren't you Judai-kun's friends?'' Yugi questions recalling them a few times. Ichigo tabs his arm with her shoulder, reminding him. ''Of course Nya! One is Asuka-chan who almost beaten that Jonouchi-Baka.''
She still remembered that duel Asuka had against Jonouchi in Battle City V3. She was winning basically putting Jonouchi with only a mere 100 but by pure luck he turned the duel around and won near the end. Still, Ichigo admires a strong female duelist from the future like Asuka plus she even asks her if she wants, they can hang out. Asuka didn't exactly reply about it but she didn't mind.
''How's it going Nya! Here for hanging out with me?'' Ichigo asks blushing. Asuka sweat drops not for that. ''Um not exactly.''
''I'm here to challenge the Duel King to a duel!'' Rei suddenly declares smiling very confident at Yugi who blinks. ''With me?''
''How come you want to duel Yugi-san?'' Sayu asks, questionable since she has no idea who these girls are but knew everybody who's a duelist wants a piece of Yugi and beat him.
Rei giggles, having been thinking of being more serious since she and the others were stuck in this timeline so to past the time, she thought she would beat the guy not even Judai couldn't defeat and that would be the Duel King himself. And then maybe he'll see how amazing she would be and love her.
''Oh to prove to Judai-kun that I'm the strongest duelist he's seen. And then-'' Rei begins ranting happily about the future she and Judai would have… until Ichigo suddenly declares pointing her finger at her. ''Well if you want to duel Yugi-kun, duel me first Nya.''
Everyone startles by such a counter-demand, especially the tricolor head.
''Um are you sure about that Ichigo-kun?'' Yugi questions Ichigo's decision still surprise.
The red cherry head nods firmly about her decision. ''Of course Nya! I have something to prove too.''
Ichigo really wants to do her best to impress Yugi more.
''Trust in me.'' She asks him nicely, wanting him to believe in her. Yugi stares at her soft brown eyes and he did want to believe in her. ''… I do.''
Ichigo smiled glad to hear it. Rei shrugs her shoulders, not caring who she duels as long as she proves her point to Judai. ''Then it's settle! Show me what you got!''
''Bring it Nya!'' Ichigo replies determine. Rei stares back passionate, activating her Duel Disk. Luckily Ichigo had hers too, sliding it in her left wrist.
Asuka watches with her arms crossed finding an interest. She saw Ichigo's duel with Jonouchi against Kaiba and between the two of them, Ichigo was a real threat with her Love Dragons. They would make Manjoume's Armed Dragon weak in comparison. And on top of that, Ichigo was a decent duelist for a starter.
''Oh this should be interesting!'' Sayu says almost excitedly. Yugi smiles at her as he said eyeing the red cherry head. ''Just watch Sayu-kun. Ichigo-kun is an amazing duelist I know by heart.''
Sayu hums, wondering about that. Yugi is the Duel King so best trust his word as absolute.
''DUEL!'' Both Ichigo and Rei declare smiling, commencing their duel with their 5 cards in hand.
Duel Screen: Ichigo Momomiya: 4000LP vs. Rei Saotome: 4000LP
Asuka sighs as this isn't what she wanted to do; babysit the girl who wants Judai's affection. Sadly he's taken… by dueling.
''I wanna go first if you don't mind.'' Rei begs Ichigo, really wanting to go with the hand she has. Ichigo sweat drops, getting that feeling too as she nods. ''Sure Nya.''
Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 5 / Rei: 4000LP H: 5
''My turn!'' Rei shouts confidently, drawing her top card. She eyes it and smirks, getting what she was aiming for. ''Just the monster I want to start this duel. I summon the true lady of love, Maiden in Love!''
A very young and lovely, princess-like girl with long brunette, elegant hair with light pink ribbons wrap between the sides of her hair appears on Rei's field. She wears a light peach, white colored design dress. Her lovely greyish eyes spark joy and light.
Maiden in Love Lvl 2 ATK: 400 DEF: 300
Ichigo purrs seeing how cute the monster was. Sayu also giggles thinking the same. ''Aw she's adorable!''
Asuka sweat drops while Yugi, trying to be friendly, smiles.
''Next I set 3 cards facedown.'' Rei declares setting three set cards behind her monster. She did strikes a pose, winking. ''Turn end!''
Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 5 / Rei: 4000LP H: 2
''Nice Nya, but it's my turn to hit harder!'' Ichigo announces, going to go hard too. ''Draw!''
She draws her top card and much like how Rei got a card she wanted, so did Ichigo purring.
''I summon my feline huntress, Cat Hunter Nya!'' Ichigo calls out summoning her black fur, scarred but not damaged eye cat with a sword in her fangs.
Cat Hunter Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 800
''That's some monster.'' Sayu says, never seeing that monster before.
''Battle! Cat Hunter, attack Maiden in Love!'' Ichigo declares raising her hand. Her cat didn't even take seconds, gazing at the little girl who panics as the cat leaps extremely fast, even vanishing.
''Bad idea.'' Asuka suddenly says confusing the tricolor head. ''What do you mean bad idea?''
The blonde-headed former Obelisk student blink eyeing him surprise someone like the Duel King not aware of this card.
''From your reaction, I'm sure Judai never told you anything about Rei's deck?'' Asuka states a little confused, thinking Judai might have mention the cards his friends used. Yugi still blinks as he confesses. ''Judai-kun sleeps, a lot.''
Asuka sighs, smiling a bit not surprise.
Rei, however, smiles that Ichigo choose such an obvious move, announcing. ''Lucky me then! I activate both my set cards!''
Ichigo blinks wondering what her set cards were too but she wasn't worry… she would be.
''First is the trap, Maiden's Growth! Now with this, Maiden in Love evolves!'' Rei begins flipping over one of her set cards. The trap takes the image of Maiden in Love walking as some kind of mirage of someone that looks like her but older heading forward.
Soon Maiden in Love vanishes as a card pops out from Rei's deck, calling for her. ''Grow up and let your love overwhelm! Appear, Lady in Love!''
A light shines as a new monster materialized in front of Ichigo and her cat huntress. The lovely young woman resembles Maiden in Love with longer hair, wearing a more fit princess dress showing her thin perfect waist size and cleavage. She smiles even more elegant than before.
Lady in Love Lvl 4 ATK: 800 DEF: 600
''She's grown up Nya.'' Ichigo states pretty amazed. Rei grins happy she thinks so.
''And she's still treated as Maiden in Love. But that's not all.'' The bluenette adds as she smiles more. ''Lady in Love cannot be destroyed by battle but that's the least of your worries. I trigger my second card the Continuous Trap, Cupid Wings!''
She activates another of her remaining set cards as it glows over her monster. A pair of pure white angel wings materialized behind Lady in Love's back, allowing her to float majestically.
''First my trap is connected to Lady in Love and next I take no damage from battle.'' Rei explains very confident making sure she avoids the drawback of her monsters. ''Plus Lady in Love's effect activates, placing a Maiden Counter on your monster and next takes control of all monsters with Maiden Counters.''
''Nya?!'' Ichigo utters as she couldn't stop her monster's attack. Cat Hunter slashes Lady in Love who took it well but drops on her knees sobbing like an angel. Cat Hunter sweat drops not meaning to hurt her as unknown to the cat it got a heart-shaped mark on her.
Number of Maiden Counter on Cat Hunter: 1
Once the mark on the cat, Cat Hunter suddenly gains heart-shaped eyes seeing the absolute beauty of Lady in Love so much she leaves Ichigo's side and stays beside Lady in Love even helping her up on her feet. The monster giggles giving the cat a kiss on the forehead. Cat Hunter purrs happily obedient.
''But I'm not done yet. Maiden's Growth's second effect forces my opponent to Special Summon a monster from their hand after battle.'' Rei continues her plan as Ichigo, still stunned her monster left her, had little opinions but to summon the only other monster in her hand, grabbing it. ''I Special Summon Love Dragon LV5!''
Appearing on the redhead pigtail is her fateful Love Dragon in her fifth stage.
Love Dragon LV5 Lvl 5 ATK: 2000 DEF: 1700
Ichigo bit her lips as her monster was in Attack Position, something she had no control due to the trap but she isn't going to fall into attacking Rei again looking up at her very overconfident face. ''If you're thinking I'm attacking, think again Nya.''
''I know but you will. Lady in Love forces all monsters on your field in Attack Position to attack plus from Maiden's Growth, you must attack only her.'' Rei, aware her opponent would do the same thing twice, reveals to her. Biting her lips again, Ichigo had to make her attack eyeing her dragon- ''… Love Dragon LV5, attack her.''
Love Dragon LV5 roars charging forward and striking Lady in Love across her chest. She withstands it but drops in her bottom sobbing. The Love Dragon sweat drops the same way as Cat Hunter unaware a heart-shaped mark appears on each wing.
''Now Lady in Love's effect activates!'' Rei declares as the marks on Ichigo's dragon glows.
Number of Maiden Counter on Love Dragon LV5: 1
Now under the lady's power, Love Dragon LV5 gains heart-shaped eyes and immediately helps Lady in Love up, even using her body as a chair. Ichigo blinks awkwardly as all of her precise monsters have left her.
''Wait, all of her monsters are in the other field?'' Sayu questions, pretty startle something like that could happen. Asuka nods as she adds. ''Not just that but Rei can attack using Ichigo's monsters.''
Sayu gulps amaze even more. Yugi remains quiet knowing Ichigo isn't out yet.
''I might have lost my monsters, but I'm not out yet Nya.'' Ichigo encourages herself, eyeing her current hand and she has a way out of this. She holds a card and sets it on her field. ''I set 1 card facedown. Turn end Nya.''
This was the best she could do under her current position but she'll find a way around this.
Can Ichigo overcome Rei's Maiden combo?
Commercial Break:
Ichigo: I will give it my all Nya for Yugi-kun!
Rei: Then I'll give it my all for Judai-kun and win his heart!
The duel continues as it was Rei's turn, grinning as she might win this sooner than expected. Asuka sweat drops really hoping she doesn't win.
Duel Screen: Turn 3_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 3 / Rei: 4000LP H: 2
''My turn!'' Rei declares drawing her top card. She smiles as she holds a card already in her hand and summons it. ''I summon Mystic Egg!''
A green egg with star-shaped markings appears on her field.
Mystic Egg Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 0
''Next I play the spell, Mystic Birth!'' Rei continues playing a new spell from her hand. The card shows an adventurer finding the Mystic Egg, kept in a curb inside an old mansion. ''By releasing my Mystic Egg, I can Special Summon 1 of 3 monsters from my Deck.''
The egg begins to hatch as it glows brightly.
''Come out cutie, Mystic Baby Dragon!'' Rei calls forth as the egg hatches. A green scaled baby dragon with yellowish claws and horn nose and adorable red eyes emerges, having the top and bottom parts of the egg it hatched from still on it.
Mystic Baby Dragon Lvl 4 ATK: 1200 DEF: 1600
Asuka stares very much aware what Rei is planning to do if she has the right cards already. Instead Rei declares smirking. ''Battle! Now your Love Dragon LV5 will attack first!''
Love Dragon, still under the control of Lady in Love, roars at her former mistress and comes at her with her glows wings. Ichigo is glad she didn't have a set Mirror Force or she would be sad losing her monsters. Instead, she has something better triggering it. ''You think Nya. I activate the trap, Rainbow Life!''
The trap flips over as Ichigo was surrounded by a rainbow-aura barrier. Rei startles as Ichigo explains discarding a card from her hand. ''Now by discarding 1 card from my hand, all damage I take this turn instead increases my Life Points Nya.''
Love Dragon LV5 strikes Ichigo but instead of damaging her Life Points, it increases her now at 6000LP.
Rei staggers by this, really not expecting that as now if she attacks her, she'll only gain more Life Points.
''Looks like I took that smirk off you Nya.'' Ichigo says now smirking. Rei gulps, protesting nervously. ''W-well I still have more monsters! I end my turn.''
Ichigo sighs, saving herself for another turn at best.
''During the End Phase after I activated Mystic Birth, I can add 1 Mystic card from my Deck to my hand.'' Rei, still not finished, adds another card from her Deck into her hand.
Duel Screen: Turn 4_ Ichigo: 6000LP H: 2 / Rei: 4000LP H: 2
''My turn Nya!'' Ichigo declares smiling, drawing her top card. She eyes it and smiles getting something really helpful. ''Since I control no monsters, I summon Cat Buster!''
A yellow furred cat appears, wearing a mini trench coat and wielding a pair of two cannons with paw-shaped ends. Sayu sweat drops, really not sure what to say about this monster except it looks adorable with that trench coat on.
Cat Buster Lvl 5 ATK: 2200 DEF: 1300
''Since Cat Buster was summoned as the only card on my field, I draw 1 card.'' Ichigo explains as she draws 1 card. She eyes it and blinks, probably going to need it if she needs it but first she commences her Battle Phase. ''Battle! Cat Buster, attack Mystic Baby Dragon!''
The cat with twin cannons lock towards the green scaled baby dragon, charging her weapons. Sayu panics covering her ears as this might be loud.
''Neko Blast!'' Ichigo shouts as her monster fires twin destructive energy blasts in shape of cat's paws at the baby dragon. Rei, seeing this, instead smiles.
''I was waiting for that. Reverse card open, Defense Maiden!'' The bluenette announces activating her final set card. ''With this Continuous Trap, I can intercept all your attacks and send them all towards Maiden in Love instead.''
Out of nowhere Lady in Love dives in and intercepts Ichigo's attack shocking her. ''NYA?!''
''And since Lady in Love is still treated as Maiden in Love, the trap works.'' Asuka confirms the concern if the trap could work.
''And now Lady in Love's effect controls your latest monster to my lady's side.'' Rei reminds Ichigo smiling as the red cherry head panics. Her Buster Cat gains a heart-shaped mark on her cheek seeing the sobbing Lady in Love, surviving the blast.
Number of Maiden Counter on Cat Buster: 1
Like her other monsters, her monster gains heart-shaped eyes and went to help Lady in Love now on her side. Ichigo sweat drops with a stun expression, not believing all of her monsters have left her and worshipped Rei's monster.
''I feel like an old woman with her cats… losing them… or a mother seeing her kittens leave her.'' Ichigo said slightly sobbing, sad about losing her monsters as if they were her children. She sighs, snapping out of it as she sets a card on her field. ''I set 1 card facedown. I'm done.''
Duel Screen: Turn 5_ Ichigo: 6000LP H: 2 / Rei: 4000LP H: 2
The duel has been back and forth but Rei had more monsters and a chance to OTK Ichigo in front of the other's eyes.
''You're done for. My turn!'' Rei declares, drawing her top card and plays it immediately. ''First I activate the spell Pot of Greed! I now draw 2 cards!''
She draws two more cards and grins excitedly playing one of them. ''Next I activate another spell, Mystic Revolution! And with it, I'll evolve my Mystic Baby Dragon!''
Mystic Baby Dragon lets out a cry as the monster glows. The cry slowly became a roar as the monster began to change form and shape, growing.
''Say hello to Mystic Dragon!'' Rei calls forth as her baby monster has fully been grown. The once baby dragon had become a full adult dragon with larger wings with red inner portions, horns growing behind its back, larger tail, more menacing red eyes and large with sharp claws and teeth.
Mystic Dragon Lvl 8 ATK: 3600 DEF: 1600
Ichigo gulps, not liking all that ATK nor did Sayu.
''It's over, battle!'' Rei declares pointing her finger at her opponent. ''Mystic Dragon, attack Ichigo directly!''
The dragon roars letting out a blast of flames. ''Mystic Fire!''
''So you think Nya! I activate the Counter Trap, Negate Attack!'' Ichigo, having a plan, quickly triggers her set trap surprising the bluenette. ''Oh shoot!''
An invisible barrier protects the red cherry head from the flames as she explains smiling. ''Now I negate your attack and end the Battle Phase Nya.''
Rei was really hoping she wins this round but with the hand she had, there was nothing to worry.
''Not a problem, my next turn I will win. I end my turn.'' Rei declares ending her turn pretty confident with the field she has. As long as she has Lady in Love and her field of support cards with Mystic Dragon and her monsters, there was nothing Ichigo could do now.
Duel Screen: Turn 6_ Ichigo: 6000LP H: 2 / Rei: 4000LP H: 3
Ichigo hums looking at her opinions in her hand but no matter how much she tried, none of them could really help her right now unless she changes this situation. Rei stomps her foot slightly impatient really needed to win the duel now.
''Better make this turn count because after I win, Judai-kun will finally see me as a real duelist and love me and touch me and hug me and kiss me and-'' Rei begins ranting about her win and imaginary Judai, overflow by her victory, shows his affections towards her.
Asuka feels unease hearing her ranting on about Judai doing something he wouldn't do but she couldn't help herself. She eyes Yugi and asks him. ''Ichigo can win right?''
''I wouldn't say it but I trust in Ichigo-kun, win or lose, to do her best.'' Yugi replies smiling, confident she won't give up even in this position.
Taking a moment to breathe, Ichigo eyes her deck and knew she needed to draw that one card to turn the duel around. ''It's all or nothing now.''
With one mighty swing, Ichigo draws shouting with a wink. ''My turn! Love Draw!''
Everyone watches with Sayu's heart beating, wondering who would win.
Eyeing her card, Ichigo smiles playing it. ''I activate the spell, Pot of Greed too!''
Rei becomes surprises that she draws the same card she did last turn. Ichigo draws 2 cards which immediately causes her to leap around, losing her poker face and shouting purring. ''YES NYA! YES-YES NYA-NYA!''
Yugi sweat drops, really not expecting her to act like that. Asuka found it a little much as a duelist should never get excited when drawing an important card unless their opponent can expose it and beat them even with it.
''W-what did you drew?'' Sayu questions clueless, not minding this, as she was just curious about the cards. Not wasting time, Ichigo grabs one of them and uses it. ''I play this spell, Heavy Storm!''
Rei is left shock, even dropping her jaw that she draw that spell. Suddenly a powerful storm brews around the field, sucking up all the spells and traps on the field.
''With this, I destroy all Spells and Traps on the field!'' Ichigo declares smiling as all of Rei's Spells and Traps vanish the field and perfect field to help Lady in Love. But she was far from done summoning a new friend. ''Next I summon my new kitty, Hope Kitty!''
A white furred kitty with pink ribbon tied around her neck appears, winking very adorably with its golden eyes. Sayu and even Rei were in love with the monster's adorable face. Asuka blushes, not wanting to show she liked it. Yugi smiled blushing too.
Hope Kitty Lvl 3 ATK: 700 DEF: 400
''Hope Kitty's effect restores all monsters to the way they were first summoned.'' Ichigo proclaims smiling raising her hands and shouts. ''Hopeful Smile!''
Hope Kitty purrs letting out a smile that shines across the field. Rei and her monsters fell under the power of the most adorable smile in history.
''IT'S SO ADORABLE.'' Sayu, crying tears of joy, says never seeing anything with such cuteness.
The power of the smile removes all of the Maiden Counters off Ichigo's monsters, snapping them out. Once restore and nervously not sure what has happened, Cat Hunter, Love Dragon LV5 and Cat Buster leap back to their true owner's field once more. Ichigo giggles petting her Hope Kitty who purrs happily.
''Now Ichigo-kun has all of her monsters back.'' Yugi informs the girls, more than certain with the face the redhead pigtail had she has the means to win the duel.
''And now with my friends with me again Nya I play this spell, Triple Love! I now evolve my Love Dragon LV5 by 3 times!'' Ichigo declares using the ultimate Level Love spell as her Love Dragon LV5 roars radiating in bright pink light. Rei watches snapping out and now scared as she was told of Ichigo's ace.
''Please bring forth the light of hope! Let your love shine brighter than power alone!'' Ichigo chants, winking as she holds up the card that will decide the duel. ''Flap your lovely wings, Love Dragon LV8!''
Ichigo calls out as the true ace of deck, the adult Love Dragon, appears flapping its wings and glares down at Mystic Dragon. Both dragons gaze before letting out fierce roar at the other.
Love Dragon LV8 Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2300
Everyone was amazed that just happened. Ichigo now had her Love Dragon LV8 and her former monsters while Rei only had Lady in Love and Mystic Dragon.
''Seems we're in a standstill.'' Rei tells her smirking, not afraid as she has the cards to win. Ichigo, also being the same, responds smiling. ''Then let's settle this in this turn Nya!''
Asuka watches closely, wondering what Ichigo might do or rather what Rei will try.
''Let's! I-'' Before Ichigo could say what she was doing which is to use Love Dragon LV8's effect; a familiar voice speaks out loudly not paying attention to the duel. ''So this is what a fried shrimp taste like, ya know.''
Ichigo blinks as she and Rei turn to see on the other side of the mall Naruto, eating a fried shrimp confused with Judai doing the same smiling.
"Hehe, pretty good right?'' Judai says grinning, loving this food. Overwhelmed to see him, Rei explodes and overreacts shouting his beloved. ''JUDAI-KUN!''
Forgetting all about the duel, Rei leaves and runs off after him with pink heart shapes floating around her.
Ichigo sweat drops, really shocked, tries calling her back. ''Hey wait! What about-''
It was far too late as Rei left. Her monsters sweat dropped vanishing as their duelist left the duel arena. Ichigo drops her mouth slightly as did her monsters. ''The duel Nya?''
Asuka lowers her head in shame, just not believing Rei would be that much of an idiot to leave without finishing the duel.
Duel Screen: Unresolved... Ichigo Momomiya: 6000LP vs. Rei Saotome: 4000LP
''Aw, no result?'' Sayu mutters pretty disappointment, really wanting to know who would win. Her vote was on Ichigo, but she could have been wrong.
''Guess we'll never know who wins.'' Asuka says not exactly sure what Ichigo had but she knew Rei had something with that face she had. Yugi isn't sure himself but he smiles having a clue what Ichigo might have to win her the duel but he rather not say instead smirking. ''Maybe.''
Sighing not sure what she could do, Ichigo returns back to the others.
''That was amazing how you pull that off Ichigo.'' Sayu tells the red cherry head for handling herself like Yugi would. Ichigo blushes not so convinced but happy she's being thanked. ''I guess so Nya.''
Sayu smiles as she turns to Yugi. He could tell she had fun watching the duel.
''Thank you for the talk, Yugi-san.'' Sayu thank the tricolor head bowing to him. Yugi nods happy she did. ''Um sure thing Sayu-kun.''
''I'll tell Light you said hi.'' She lets Yugi know, not so thrill to mention her brother about it and probably she wouldn't that is if he wants to listen to her and not busy alone in his room.
Looking away briefly, Yugi eyes her and nods. ''… You can tell him, if you want.''
Sayu nods smiling, glad to have seen him here. She waves goodbye to them. ''Bye! I'll see you guys around!''
Yugi nods watching her leave. He knows for sure that Sayu is really a good person… but her brother isn't the same case. She couldn't understand what would have made Light into being a hopeful person into a psychopath who wants to become god. Was it that Death Note that made Light into this… or…
''Hey Asuka-chan, why did you came too?'' Ichigo, interrupting Yugi's thoughts, asks Asuka with a curious expression. Asuka blinks, not prepare she would ask her that.
''Didn't want Rei to do something she would overdo and still did.'' The blonde-headed replies crossing her arms. Ichigo nods agreeing, but she grins saying. ''Or maybe you wanted to impress Judai-kun too.''
That assumption gets to Asuka, making her blush of embarrassment. She tries to regain her composure replying. ''I don't have to.''
Ichigo smiles knowing her better than she knows herself. Judai is a pretty hard guy to impress since his head is in the clouds of only dueling but she learned from hanging out with him he cares for her and his other friends when that Amon guy captured them. Judai needs his friends, more than most wouldn't notice but he also needs someone to give him that spark of love too.
''You know he's an idiot, but he's not oblivious. I'm sure when he's ready, he'll reply how he feels for you Nya.'' Ichigo says smiling more than sure the day will come that Judai will show his affection towards her. Asuka blushes, hoping for that day too. ''Thanks.''
Ichigo giggles thinking so too.
With that, Asuka leaves going to find Rei, or probably find Judai running from her. Now alone, Yugi and Ichigo walk together as he takes her home.
''I hoped you had a good day Yugi-kun.'' Ichigo says eyeing the tricolor head with a small smile on her face. Yugi eyes her, smiling a bit too. ''I did actually. It was…''
No words came out as he struggles to say any. Eventually, a word pops in his head saying. ''It was peachy.''
Ichigo blinks, not sure why but she loves that name. ''It really felt peachy Nya.''
Yugi smiles blushing more, not at all sure but that word brought joy to his heart. Soon the two arrived footsteps to Ichigo's home.
''Well here we are.'' Ichigo says smiling, glad to be at home without any issues or villains trying to kill them or whatnot.
''Y-yea…'' Yugi replies frowning a bit, wishing their day could have last a little longer. He eyes the red cherry head, staring at her brown eyes that were as warm as chocolate. He couldn't help himself but smile, happy to have her. ''Thank you for worrying about me.''
Ichigo giggles winking at him. ''Sure Nya.''
The two just stare at the other deeply. The soft breeze went past them, making them feel good. Ichigo knew in the bottom of her heart this was the moment; their first kiss. She could feel it and even the Universe did too.
''Good night!'' Ichigo tells Yugi, leaning forward almost preparing for it. Yugi eyes her, oddly leaning forward too but instead of doing what a boyfriend would do; he scratches the back of his head and smiles backing away. ''Good night.''
There's now an awkward feeling all over Ichigo as her romantic emotions running in her system just… poof. Looking down briefly, almost sad, she lifts her head and nods smiling. She turns around and opens her house door. She looks back, still smiling at the tricolor head as she steps in and closes it. Sighing, Ichigo turns around with a sadden expression, never before looking so sad about returning from a date.
W-was she wrong about Yugi? But she feels he was going to do it; she could feel it… but he didn't.
''I wonder if you really love me Nya. I know you do…'' Ichigo questions herself and the love she had for Yugi but… maybe she really was wrong and ruined her relationship with Masaya. They were happy… but she was also happy with Yugi especially as kids. They were like in love… but, they never kissed although they were clearly a couple… there was just one problem.
''But at least Masaya-kun kissed me already.'' She protests, realizing Yugi never has or never tried being the nice guy he is. Or maybe… that was all to it and nothing else? Maybe just a flare of heat as she questions this. ''Maybe this was all my feelings getting to me for once.''
Sighing, Ichigo went to her room tired and needed to rest.
Now walking back home, Yugi hums to himself as Atem appears in spirit form with his arms crossed.
''Partner, I think she was expecting-'' The Pharaoh tries telling him that Ichigo was waiting for the sacred act of kissing but Yugi never tried it. He sighs aware what Atem is referring about. ''I know. The kiss.''
Yugi, his eyes cover by the shadow of his front hair, couldn't bring himself to kiss Ichigo with dealing against so many enemies and he's actually scared to lose her.
''… Not today. I wasn't ready yet.'' He responds to the Pharaoh, trying to act calm about it.
Atem did not say anything else but he knows his partner is scare to show his love for Ichigo. He could see a piece that Yugi isn't trying to look at and that is the piece that will help him not feel as alone as he is.
''Then when is the question, partner? Momomiya-kun and you are more similar in almost the core, but one thing is not connecting, which will bind you two if you try to reach her.'' Atem says mentally, believing Yugi needs to be strong to show his worth for Ichigo and how she means for him.
Yugi did not reply to his words as he resumes walking back home quiet.
Elsewhere…
It's a dark night as the headquarters of the Dark Lord, Equalord Enterprise. Akumu Momomiya looks down from his office on the top floor, smirking as he has done nothing more but to make himself even stronger letting his powers to return and now… there was no need to wait any longer.
''My general.'' He calls upon as the shadows of his room moved and reveals Dark General Knight, bowing before his master. ''Yes my lord?''
Akumu turns smirking, having made his general wait too long to recover after his failure against the boy in their duel. Now he is more than certain he has enough to put an end to the Dragon Knight, announcing. ''It's time to finally give humanity a reason to fear the unknown terror, no?''
The dark general looks up and becomes very please to hear that. ''I have been waiting for you to act like this, my lord.''
"Get me the other fools.'' Akumu orders him still smirking, looking back at the window as his brown human eyes became demonic dragon-like yellow eyes and dark red slitted pupils, glowing brightly like a star. ''It's time to kill the brat and his so-called Team Dragon Knight… except for my niece, she lives.''
The dark knight bows before vanishing into mist. Akumu still looks up to the dark sky as he will look forward to the Dragon Knight's long awaiting death… but he slowly frowns as he must this time or else that man will. ''You won't take this from me… Aizen.''
Yugi has overcome a lot so far but is he and the others ready to confront the Dark Lord of Darkness?
To be continued…

Dark Leader Dragon smirks: That I shall. I'm coming for you, brat!
Author's Note: GamingGuy84 gave me the idea to use Sayu more than how the Anime/Manga, Live Action Movie and ''TV Series'' have done her with his fanfic, Light's Angel. It's a good AU if there was a way to save Light from the dark path he was in. It might happen here too… oh maybe… maybe not? So yea, using this to an extent.
Also it has been a long time to use the Dark Lord again so that should be fun.
I'm having a situation with a chapter which I will talk about in detail in the future of this Volume but for now next week there will be no DKR. Sorry guys, it's something I need to do of importance and I hate it.
