Chapter 37
Saving the Show!
"For the competition, I specially challenge Chibi Magician to a duel, as I will be the one to take home the Royal Dream Crown! I see no one else as my rival but her, as we will take this battle to the stage! Do you accept my challenge, Chibi Magician." Anzu announced on broadcast T.V., as standing in their practice room, team Hikari's was the watching the show, turning their eyes towards Yugi.
"I will accept her challenge." Stated Yugi, determination written in her eyes, as the host had some more to say about Anzu bold declare.
"Wahh! Isn't Chibi Magician the new rising star of the idol group, Hikari's!? Champions of last month top competition!? This is big news! Anzu-chan, is their anything else you would like to say!?" The point his mic over to Anzu, who took it out of his hands, and walk straight over to the camera.
"I want to prove that I will be the top idol, of Duel Idol, surpassing both the Dark Magician Girl, and the Legendary Queen herself, so that's why for the Dream Star Competition, I challenge Chibi Magician Girl to perform two Solo Special Effects, along with a Crown Special Effect, as I will be doing the same. I will await to hear your answer!" After Anzu was finished with her brave speech, stunning everyone in the world with her brave, bold, words as this no doubt was going to receive a lot of press, and attention from the fans, and media.
When the mic was received back to the host, who was just in shock from hearing her unbelievable declaration, on broadcast television, and throughout the entire internet, sweating a bunch, whipping his head with a handkerchief. " I-I can't b-believe it! N-Not only did challenge C-Chibi Magician-chan, but also the two legends of Duel Idol Worlds! This is unbelievable!?" Exclaimed the host, as team Hikari's was feeling the same.
"I must say you have to admire her guts, but to make a statement that bold, to surpass the two most love idols of Duel Idol World is something! Plus she challenge Yu-chan to perform two Solo Special Effect, which itself is a hard challenge to pull off. Does this mean that she can already perform two Solo Special Effects? If so, that just shows off the hard training she has been through since her coming out as a Duel Idol, who is now a love star amongst her fans." Replied Mai, as the room was filled with tension.
"Not only that she said she will surpass both the Dark Magician Girl, and Legendary Queen herself, who both perform pass the average limit of Solo Special Effects required for a Duel Idol, it was one of the thing that made them legends. She basically saying that she will become divine herself. I can't even imagine the gruesome training that she will put herself through to aim for her goal." Malik painted a serious look on her face, as even she herself couldn't push her self that far.
"But lets also think about to pressure she has put on Yu-chan to perform not one, but two Solo Special Effects!" Called out a worried Ryo.
"Maa, it okay, as long Yugi believe in herself, right Mai?" asked Joey, remembering what Mai told them before about when it came to performing a any type of special effect.
"Hmm, not quite so Joey-chan. Yes, your heart plays a key part to performing a special effect, to higher degrees, but your skills have to be at a certain point of level to perform each effect, and currently at Yugi-chan level. . . " Mai look over at Yugi, sadness expressed in her eyes. "I can't see that happen just yet. If she probably had two more months worth of practice, she might could've, but the competition is only in two weeks." replied Mai, delivering the girls the truth, who looked broken to hear this, as Yugi had her reputation as an idol on the stakes.
"It true, the more your skills as a Idol rise, so do your level of techniques, as a average Duel Idol is only known to reach three, while idols of on the level to become queen, pass this requirement. Lots, and lots, of work will have to be put in for an idol to go from level 1, to level 2, and it became even more harder to reach pass that. At Anzu level, I can certainly see her being able to perform two Solo Special Effects, as she been in this business a lot longer than Taicho-chan, who been here for three months, as she also have dance ability level of that of a professional. Plus on top of the two Solo Efforts, you have to pull off a crown effect, this is a bucket load of pressure and requirement she had stack on her our adorable boss! It's just plain unfair!" Exclaimed Malik, hugging Yugi tightly to her chest, patting her on top of the head.
"Maa, let not focus on me, but on Ryo, who have just received news of how she will be the representative for Bloody Mary!" Smiled Yugi, as the group was surprise how cheerful she remain, even though she had a lot of things on her plate at the moment, but care more about her team mate.
"But Yugi-chan. . ." Ryo tried to protest, but received another bright smile from Yugi.
"I know should feel freak out from all this pressure Anzu-san has put on me, but I don't want my problems to steal away this bright opportunity that was offer to you. I will deal with this on my own accord, while you enjoy yourself Ryo-chan!" Even without her Duel Idol Aura, Yugi still radiant with pureness, that could touch the hearts of other, as Ryo smile, running over to hug the other side of Yugi.
"Love you Yu-chan~!" Call out Ryo, next kissing Yugi on the cheek, who blush, receiving a pout from Malik.
"Wahh! Ryo-chan kiss Taich-chan before, unfair!" Whined Malik, who suddenly thought of a bright ideal.
"Ah! I could kiss Taicho-chan on the lips!" Exclaimed Malik, and was about to go for the kill, if Joey didn't run over to her, and began to try to pull her away from Yugi.
"Get away from Yuge, you pervert!" Yelled Joey, having a hard time trying to pull Malik away, while Ryo contently continue to hug Yugi, who was use to the weird way her teammates can act at times, while Mai just smile fondly at the group, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Walking to answer the door was none other than Mai, who received a handful of white roses, and pretty decorated boxes of gifts, once the door was open. "Here you go Ma'am, these were ask to be delivery here, from an unknown secret person." said the man, who delivery the gifts, setting them all on the floor by the door, before taking his leave.
"What a stack of gifts." Mai walked over to large stash of gifts that were dropped off, finding a card, attached inside the roses, and saw who it was address to, calling over one of the members.
"Yu-chan these are address to you." Called out Mai, as Yugi, who was finally out of the clutches of both Malik, and Ryo, made her way over to them, spotting the familiar sight of white roses, which were giving to her last time. Picking up the letter, Yugi began to read what was written on it.
"You have once again, awed me with your beautiful light! I can't wait to see you improve your skills even more! Your most love fan!" Yugi read out, once again having all her teammate staring over her shoulder, giving her looks.
"Could this be from the same guy as last time?" asked Ryo, noticing how the perfect, neat, handwriting was the same from last time, awning that the person had beautiful handwriting skills.
"Wahh~! Look at this! All of these outfits come from each of the five top brand, and are top quality!" Exclaimed Malik, who already open, Yugi four boxes of gifts.
"Malik-chan, don't open up things, that don't belong to you!" Scolded Ryo, who was ignored By Malik, who was pulling outfits out of the box, admiring all of the outfits, as she spotted something, about each of them.
'Weird, each of this outfit, are Taicho-chan, exact size. How can this fan get Yugi measure on point, even though she only ever appeared on T.V.?' Malik asked herself, and decided it was the luck of an fan, placing the outfit back in the box.
"Yo, Mai what that on T.V?" asked Joey, seeing on the television that was posted up in the room, show off different styles of Duel Idol's singing, solo, and group, alike before showing a huge, luxury, tower building.
"Oh, that is the famous company, who is known to produce top rate Duel Idols, that also the sponsor company for Lovely Peach. The name of the company is, Industrials Illusions. At the moment Lovely Peach are their top idols." explained Mai, before turning her attention over to Ryo-chan, you better hurry along to meet the top designer of Bloody Mary, before time runs out, also you don't have to wear your Duel Idol Device. Now you better hurry on, Ryo-chan!" Smiled Mai, giving her a thumbs up, along with rest of friends wishing her good luck.
"Just right down this hall is boss room." Lending Ryo down a dark, long, narrow black and white, checker print marble floor, as the walls were a dark purple, having different portraits of models, wearing one of Bloody Mary top designs, as soon the made it two large black double doors, as the brunette put her hand on the handle.
"I wish you good luck, as our boss is known to have a sharp tongue, and has a hot temper. Congratulations, for becoming Bloody Mary representative, now looking at you, I can kinda see why he pick you." Stated the woman, causing Ryo to tilt her head cutely, when the door was open for her, as Ryo hesitantly made her way inside.
"U-Umm, excuse me, Yuki R-Ryo is here." Ryo announced, glancing her eyes, around the huge, room, giving off a dark, haunted feel, as the walls were dark purple, with black lining interior, having black curtain for the window, each corner of the wall had a row of mannequin, each wearing one of Bloody Mary new, and latest design.
"Your five minute late!" Yelled out a deep, angry voice, scaring Ryo, who started to sweat bullet, thinking of how badly she already mess up on her first day.
Suddenly the voice started to chuckles, as Ryo spot something move from out the darkness of the room, making their full appearance in the light, as Ryo was surprise once she saw the full body figure of the person, who sent her a smirk.
"Hi, Bun-chan! Miss me?" Bakura made his way over to Ryo, who had her mouth wide open, due to the shock, of this shocking truth, as Bakura placed his gothic black painted fingernails hand under Ryo chin, grabbing hold of it, bringer her face closer to his.
"You could at least give me kiss, for a greeting, Ryo-chan~!" The bad-boy prince smile devilishly, which in Ryo eyes, was just plain sexy, causing the poor girl blush crimson.
"It something about teasing you, that really amuse me, but enough of that, let move on to the serious stuff, such as you coming out as Bloody Mary representative." Bakura took a seat on his comfortable, soft, cushion, black couch.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose me to be Bloody Mary representative?" Ryo took a seat beside Bakura.
"You can say, I saw something in you, during the time you had to do a photo-shoot for us, to put in Dark-N-Lovely. You amaze me at how you brought the appeal of one my designs, stronger than any other models, who have ever wore a design from Bloody Mary. You are now Bloody Mary, little Mary, so we will be counting on you to do a good job." Bakura smirk over at Ryo, who bow her head down shyly.
"What all will have to do when I come out as Bloody Mary representative?" asked Ryo, as raise and eyebrow to why she ask such an obvious question.
"Bun-chan, anytime a representative comes out for a brand, they will have to put on a solo concert, wearing one of the brands rare designs." replied Bakura, watching how Ryo face went to shock, to depress, ending with calmness.
"I should've saw that coming. This will be my first time putting on a performance, in front of a large view of audience, without having Taicho-chan, and the others." Ryo sighed, bowing her head down.
"Cheer-up Bun-chan, you have us, along with your puny, sappy, friends, backing you up. Just think of it as a audition." Bakura patted the imaginary bunny ear Ryo on the head, as if she was his pet.
"Thank-you Bakura-kun for trying to cheer me up. So what day will the concert be on?" asked Ryo, smiling as Bakura cheered her up, only to receive a smile from Bakura, who was still patting her head.
"Tomorrow." Bakura had a angel-like smile on his face, that so did not fit his image, crushing Ryo poor little soul, feeling as if a blonder been drop on top of her head, when suddenly Bakura work room doors were thrown open.
"Bakura-sama, we have trouble!" Announced the pretty brunette female from before grabbing a remote, cutting on the T.V that was in the room, displaying some type of commercial, featuring Miho.
"Miho-chan here!" Miho smiled, waving towards the camera. "I will be Love Peach second representative, as I will be putting on a super cute show, just for you, tomorrow at Sunlily Garden! Miho hope to see you all their!" Miho smile, winking at the camera, as the brunette turn the television off.
"This can not a coincidence! Someone leaked this information! Their can not be two representative having their solo concerts, both on the same day! The crowd will be split, as we will have an uneven amount of number, due to the huge fan club, and fame that she has! What are we going to do Bakura-sama!" exclaimed the girl, while Bakura remain calm, closing his eyes, appearing to be deep in thought, before opening again.
"We will keep it the same. We are not making changes!" Bakura stated, firm in his decision.
"But Bakura-sama, will be putting a newbie up against, a train idol? Are you sure about this?" Asked the brunette having doubting Bakura decision a bit.
"Maa, have some faith in are representative, Haruka-chan." Bakura grin, relaxing his hands behind his head, leaning back in his seat, moving his eyes over to Ryo.
"It's to late to change the date, the preparation has already been sat, and she is the only one who can bring out the true appeal of my designs. Let leave faith in the hands of our Little Mary." By looking in Bakura eyes, Ryo could see the trust he held for her, and made a vow to herself, to do her best for Bakura, and the other members who work for Bloody Mary.
Sitting at a local restaurant located in Duel Idol World, were two figures, enjoying the soothing, calmness of the place, as slowly ate at his dessert, while the other sip on a cup of hot caramel cappuccino, as the see was peaceful, for nice and . . .
"ATEM~!" A brown blur came running in the shop, throwing its arm around Atem neck.
"Mana, lower your voice! Are you trying to blow my eardrum?" Atem felt his ear was almost blow off due to the loudness of Mana voice, who was smiling as she hugging him.
"Maa, can't a sister miss her big brother! Hi Seth!" Mana waved at the silent figure, who nodded his head at her acknowledgement, continuing with his drink.
"Atem, you could at least told your dear sister that you was in town! And what's this I hear of bullying Yami-chan! Not nice Atem! You shouldn't put chibi-chan in between you two pathic rivalry!" Mana scolded, not once lowering her voice.
"Oh, so you meet her?" Asked Atem, as Mana caught sight of the sneaky, devious, look in his eyes, meaning he was up tp go good, and glare at him, before karate chopping him in the head.
"Ow! Mana what was that for!?" Atem had his hand place on the bump that was now on top of his head, due to the powerful strength possessed by Mana.
"Atem, don't you dare put Chibi-chan in between this, cause if you so hurt her. . ." Atem began to coward back from the seething glare that held so much power, that Atem could not go against her, as she took a step forward, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. " I will give you the worst punishment in the history of the world. Do you understand me?" Mana voice was dark, cold, and commanding, as a chibi frighten Atem, nodded it head.
Like a switch, Mana revert back to her cheerful self, blossoming with a sparkly smile, like a devil turning back into angel. "That's what I wanted to hear! Ah-Seth, I believe you ask for this! I can't believe that you found interest in someone, but I hope you know, that if you plan to have feelings for her, you'll have to go up against him. And we all know how possessive he get someone tries to take away things that he deem belong to himself." Mana hand over the picture, which was face on it back.
"Hmm, so we share interest in the same person." Seth took the picture that was presented to him by Mana.
"So mind telling me how did just catch your attention?" asked Mana, as both her and Atem were curious to hear his answer.
"You can say it was during her performance in the Tiara Cup, something about her passion call out to my dragon souls. I guess it true that blue eyes dragon are attracted to red eyes one." Replied Seth, flipping over the card, which brought somewhat of a small smile to his face.
It was now the next day, and for Ryo it was a big day for her, who will be hosting her very first solo concert, in just a few couple of minutes, as the preparation were set up outside, by a garden filled with blue roses, as the team were now finishing up the last few touches.
"Bakura-san everything is almost finish setting up! So the show will start soon!" Called out of the people working for the sound check team, as Bakura, dressing in a pair of black pants, having a row of multiple black, and silver chains at the pocket, with a short sleeves, black and white top, made almost like a vest, but had a long trench tail in the back, were a pair of black boots, having his long snowflake hair in a high ponytail, deck out in gothic chain accessories.
"Alright, Bun-chan your about-" Bakura was about to say something to Ryo but was cut off.
"We have a problem! Miho show is starting, and Haruka-chan, has got stuck in traffic with Ryo Duel Idol Cards, that she need to wear for the show! If we wait any longer the crowd is going to get anxious, and just might leave!" cried out one of the designer who work for Bakura, who was frowning at the moment at this struck of bad luck.
Meanwhile the outside, the crowd was becoming confuse as the show was running a little bit behind schedule, as Heart-chan, still have not made her appearance on stage, leaving a uneasy feeling in the huge place, filled with people.
"The audience are starting to anxious! Are we ready to begin the show yet?" Called out a voice, as Ryo was starting to feeling nervous, and uneasy, staring at how frustrate Bakura was looking, hands ball up into a fist.
"Bakura-kun. . " Ryo murmured worriedly for the top designer, was surprise when he suddenly took off towards the direction of the stage, confusing the others who work behind stage, as Ryo ran to see what Bakura was about to do.
Back outside, the crowd mood worsen, as some were about to leave, if not a the sound of music began to sound, as handsome, devilish, appearance of male made his way out on stage, grabbing the mic, as some wonder who he was, while others (girls) were happy to see such a hot guy handsome guy out on stage, hands on the mic, having his eyes covered by a pair of black sunglasses.
oshiete oshiete yo sono shikumi wo boku no naka ni dare ga iru no?
kowareta kowareta yo kono sekai de kimi ga warau nanimo miezu ni
Backstage, Ryo could not believe your ear, nor could she believe her eyes, as standing out on stage was Bakura, who surprising had an amazing voice, filling her eyes instantly drawn to him.
Sitting elsewhere watching the show, sat Marik, wearing a grin towards the T.V, that sat in his office. " Maa, it's been awhile since Kura-chan last sung. He must be in desperately situation for him to sing in the mic once again."
kowareta boku nante sa iki wo tomete

dareka ga egaita sekai no naka de anata wo kizutsuketaku wa nai yo
oboeteite boku no koto wo azayaka na mama
Watching the show, during his break, was Yami having his Duel Idol Phone out in his hand, eyes glue to the holographic screen. " It's been a long time since he came back towards the stage. He must be in a tough spot, for him to come out." Muttered Yami, feeling a bit worried.
mugen ni hirogaru kodoku ga karamaru mujaki ni waratta kioku ga sasatte
ugokenai ugokenai ugokenai ugokenai ugokenai ugokenai yo
unravelling the world
Any problems the audience may have once had, was now vanish, as the entire crowd was rocking to the beat of the song, as even more pair of seat began to fill the show, as Bakura continue to rock out on stage, kicking the microphone stand away from him.
"I have the Duel Idol Cards! What the. . !? What is Bakura-sama doing out on stage?" Question Haruka, who looked as if she ran the rest of the way to get, looking tired and worn out.
"We were running out of time so Bakura-kun, suddenly took the stage. I didn't know he could sing." replied Ryou, as Haruka pass over to her the Duel idol Cards.
"Maa, I once found some deep information about him, that he once was a singer, but quite to pursue his dream of becoming a designer. He actually told me that last part, but wow, I didn't know he was this good either." Haruka was amazed with the awesome performance her boss was putting on, as his performance was soon over with pumping the crowd excitement from his performance, as he made his way backstage, taking off his sunglasses.
"Never thought, I would return to the mic once again. Oh well, that will never happen again, so Bun-chan, go out there and rock the crowd some more." Bakura smirk towards Ryo, patting her on the head, as Ryo was still in awe, but quickly nodded her head, determination written in her eyes, making her way to the Duel Idol System, placing the cards, along with her partner card in the slots.
"I can not let them down." Ryo vow to herself making her way inside the machine. Once activated, the holographic technology took charge, as Ryo made an entrance of her appearing in a dark swirl on stage with many white and black hearts that spin around the swirl. Have a beam of light that then comes from the center, as the light dispels the dark, and push the hearts everywhere as Ryo appears with a happy smile, making a heart with her hands.

A black silk hat with many black feathers all over the top. Nestled between them are three giant pearls, with long dangle earrings with a single, big pearl on the end.

"Mirai o tooku ni kazashiteru…"
"Not to bad, my little rocker Bun-chan." Smirked Bakura, as Ryo was doing something different from her usual style, watching the way she rock out on stage, hyping the audience up, enjoying Ryo show.
Sitting far away watching the show , was a man of long pink hair, sinking elegantly on a cup of wine, having two butlers standing beside, watching Ryo on the huge screen television. " Maa, it seem my little princess, as switch up a bite. Magnificent, isn't she." He smile, taking another sip of his wine.
"She's really good, Bakura-sama! She even made the outfit shine, it like she sparking!" Exclaimed Haruka. keeping her eyes on Ryo performance.

Ryo body began to glow, signaling she was about to pull off a Solo Special Effect, as she brought out a huge blue heart, before using a devilish black bow and arrow to shoot it, as it rain down, tiny blue hearts upon the crowd, as pulling off her first effect, which had a few changes, due to her outfit. "Devil Heart!" Ryo called out. Amazing the audiences with her effect, still having tiny blue hearts raining down on the crowd.
'I did it!' Ryo smile from her viewpoint from the stage, happy to see that the audience enjoyed themselves as well. Once the show was over, Ryo was about to make her to her dressing room, but stop once a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
"Good job, Ryo-chan." Bakura whispered hotly in her ear, causing Ryo the blush bright red, spinning around in his arms, only to receive a kiss from the gothic bad-boy, who after a while pull back. smirking down at the his cute bunny, who had bunny ears sticking out her head.
"Just to let you know, we're going out now, so expect a date soon, my little Ryo-chan." Bakura wink, giving Ryo another kiss on the lips, before taking his leave, not once looking back, already knowing that Ryo probably fainted, which was true.
