'I have to reach that door.' She thought to herself as she tried to speak but her voice seemed lost or rather gone, the minute she opened her mouth and a mysterious figure took it away from her and began to chase the figure until she found a door and began walking to it.
Each step she took was slow as she continued to walk to the door down the hallway but each time she walked forward, it looked like it was getting away before she finally caught up to it.
She traced the design of the door as she felt its cool yet comforting touch upon her hand before opening it as she held the door knob and opened the door to see a beautiful room with sparkling blue crystals and stain glass windows as she stared in awe before she heard snarling coming from behind as she saw blue dogs that were snarling before they charged at her and attacked her by tickling licks on her neck and face as she laughed.
"That tickles!" She laughed before realizing that her voice had come back as she began to question herself before one dog had her on its back and running down the hallway as she gripped on tightly before the dog stopped and she tumbled into something or rather someONE.
All she could stare into was his eyes, one gold and the other silver.
"Are you alright?" He asked as she blushed by the sound of his voice as she nodded before the dogs came back and wagging their tails as she was tackled by the dogs before the mysterious blue spirit was closer to her as their lips nearly touched before--.

"Iroha! Big sis!" Ui jumped on the bed which woke up Iroha from her dream as she sat up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes before she got dressed, tying the strange golden charm in her hair and began walking to the kitchen and she began to cook breakfast for her and her little sister as she looked to see the extra servings she made as she sighed before making another for Ui who going to dropped off at school near the news station with her friends.
"I'll see you after school Ui!" Iroha said as she kissed her little sister's forehead before heading out until Medi-Bot, Ui's medical bot gave Iroha her book she had left before Iroha patted the robot on its head.
Iroha ran on the way to school when she heard Bronk call out to her about any assignments he missed and she told him some math and some reading assignments before he rode off on his skateboard and she reached her class before the bell rang.
"Iroha!" Tori Meadows, Iroha's best friend called out to her as Iroha waved to her as they continued their day as it started out pretty good until Dueling Period started, Iroha wasn't good with technology, she still used a duel gazer for dueling and a duel disk that was used in Duel Academy back when the infamous Jaden Yuki graduated as a Slifer Red.
Iroha used the instructions and she knew quickly on how to activate it and check her traps and which one to use and she began to duel naturally.
"Oh no..." Tori said as she saw Bronk duel the school bully, Shark Kastle, his real name is Reginald Kastle but he doesn't use it often, Iroha did her best to avoid him because he was staring at her mostly and that disturbed her.
She felt like he just follows her everywhere she went, the mall, the book store, heck, he even followed her to the grocery store.
Both girls walked up the stairs to see Shark taking Bronk's deck before Iroha walked to Shark and grabbed his hand. "What are you doing?" She asked trying to sound tough at the bully while his cronies stepped back.
"What does it look like? He lost the duel and now he lost his deck." Shark said placing Bronk's deck somewhere before Iroha grabbed his arm. "What you're doing is wrong and I think that's what a coward would do! Taking others decks would show that they're not strong but they're cowards!" Shark stopped as Iroha felt a dark aura surrounding him.
"Tch...Coward, do you know what happened to the last person who called me a coward, girl?" Shark asked as he backed her against the fence as she had her arms on her chest. "N-No?" She stuttered, losing the courage she had built up as he gripped her shoulders hard.
"BECAUSE NO ONE HAS EVER SAID IT BEFORE!!" He shouted as she fell to her knees before her hair got caught on the fence before Shark saw the golden charm in her hair. "My~. This must be valuable for you, if it's not enough, we wouldn't want little Ui to be hurt now would we?"
That snapped Iroha as she slapped his face and everyone saw. "Since your sister is so important let's say something happened to this key, oops." he said dropping it as he stepped on the key as her eyes widened at the sight of the broken charm and never noticing her long hair loose because of the charm out of her hair.
"You and me. Tomorrow, at the mall bright and early." Shark said as he left with his cronies as Tori comforted her friend as Bronk picked up the broken charm and headed back to his place to fix the charm.
Iroha went to pick up Ui and her friends before her little sister noticed how sad Iroha looked and her charm was missing. Nemu and Touka placed the pieces together, they knew that Shark was a jerk and the way Iroha was protective of them.
"Reginald Kastle did something to provoke you in such a state where you put yourself in such a way to guard us from potential danger, what did he do this time in such inhumane manner that disturbs you in such a sorrow state?" Touka asked as Iroha sighed and placed the carrot she was cutting down and looked at Touka before she took her into the kitchen where Ui and Nemu couldn't hear.
"Shark...broke the charm I had in my hair and he threatened me about Ui...please, I don't want her hurt." Iroha told her as Touka frowned hearing of the threat Shark had told Iroha.
Iroha continued cooking as she finished cooking before she received a call from Tori from her phone as she answered it as she listened to her friend talk to her until Ui heard over the conversation.
"Ui..." Iroha spoke as her little sister hugged her suddenly around the waist which surprised her.
"It's going to be alright, besides, we're here to help you Iroha." Ui said as Irha smiled as they stayed up to help decide which deck is useful to beat Shark, Ui suggested an Aromage deck to gain life points, Nemu suggested a Vampire Deck, Touka suggested a Fortune Lady Deck but Iroha stuck her usual deck which was given to her and she knew the duelist.
She shuffled her cards of the given deck as she looked at her Synchro Monster, Black Rose Dragon and smiled at it knowing that it could be a useful card for battle as she placed it in her deck carrier as she brushed through her hair and stopped when didn't feel for the charm in her hair.
She placed the hair brush down and laid down in her bed thinking of ways of beating Shark before sleep took over her and she fell into the realm of dreams.
This time, she was in front of a large door and a voice spoke to her as she continued to stare at the huge door and the voice continued before she woke up to the sound of her alarm clock going off and she met the hard floor of her room.
It was Saturday and that meant the duel between her and Shark would happen at the mall and she placed her very heart and soul into the deck she had received from the lady with red hair.
Iroha built up the courage she had and walked down to the mall before Bronk and Tori met up with the pink haired girl as Bronk gave her the charm all fixed up before she tied it around her hair and smiled at her friends who wished her luck on the duel.
Upon meeting Shark at the water fountain, he saw the golden charm all fixed up and in her hair where it was all the time, Iroha sensed the darkness around Shark increase as they began their duel and Iroha had the first turn as she summoned a plat type monster to the field before activating Fallen Angel of Roses effect.
"Now! I special summon Fallen Angel of Roses in Attack Mode!" Iroha shouted as purple rose petals scattered around her before it looked at Shark with a glare while gripping onto the rose thorn whip in its hand.
"I set two face downs and end my turn." She said as Shark summoned a monster in Attack Mode and used a spell card that destroyed her monster before attacking Iroha directly as she was flung back before getting back up as her charm fell out before her hair came loose and fell down before Shark smirked.
"This is almost too easy, when I win this duel, I'll cut your hair so I can see your pretty face more often." Shark said as Iroha glared at him before he XYZ summoned Leviathan Dragon which made Iroha see the dark aura almost touching her.
Then Iroha was slammed back by the dragon before hearing the same voice call out to her before seeing the door in front of her as she held the key before running at it and stuck her hand in the key hole where the charm would fit before the door opened and she was falling and no one was there to catch her before seeing those familiar eyes as a figure emerged from the gate
One silver and one gold.
Iroha then stood up and saw Shark smirking at her before hearing the familiar voice.
"It is you..." She turned her head as she saw the figure with the familiar voice and eyes, a pale blue spirit with one gold and one silver eye and his hair stuck up, the markings on his body were unknown yet beautiful to Iroha before he spoke up to her.
"I found you...my wife..." The spirit said as he held both of her hands in his own as she just stares at the blue spirit in shock before she snaps out of it. "W-Wife?! What do you mean wife?" She asked in shock while her two friends saw her talking to the air.
"Oh wait! You must be my guardian angel!" Iroha said as Tori and Bronk thought that as well but they couldn't see who she was talking to and they kinda believe that Iroha has a guardian angel but at the same time, they thought that Iroha had hit her head too hard but she told them that it was her guardian angel.
"I am not such a thing my dear...or am I? And if I recall, my name is Astral." Astral said looking at her as she blushed before the darkness from the dragon nearly touched her as Shark smirked at the sight of her scared face. "Now that's a lovely sight to see, after I win this duel, maybe you'll be my personal maid." Shark said as Astral floated in front of her.
"Duel...yes that's a familiar word...yes I duel!" Astral said as he floated behind her and saw Monster Reincarnation. "Use Monster Reincarnation to bring back Fallen Angel of Roses, discard a level 4 monster then use Monster Reborn to bring it back and then use Rose Warrior of Revenge." Astral said as Iroha nodded as she did what Astral said before using Monster Reborn to summon Rose Paladin to her field and summoned Rose Warrior of Revenge in attack mode. "Tuner Monsters! No one ever used them except Team 5Ds!" Bronk said as Iroha Synchro Summoned Black Rose Dragon.
Everyone was stunned at the sight of the legendary dragon before Bronk called out to Iroha. "Where did you get that deck?!" Bronk asked as Iroha answered. "It was given to me by a woman, she told me that I can do best with it. I want to make her proud by winning this duel!" Iroha said as she activated Black Rose Dragon's effect, she banished a plant type monster.
Shark saw that Leviathan Dragon had zero attack points as Iroha attacked with Black Rose Dragon that lowered his life points to match hers before ending her turn as Astral how confident she felt when she took a deep breath and let it out.
"Observation number 1: To gain confidence is to remain calm." Astral noted down as Iroha saw that the monster wasn't destroyed as she saw how angry Shark got before his monster attacked her and she lost most of her life and both Bronk and Tori got worried for her as she looked at Shark before drawing a card and ended her turn with a face down.
Shark activated his trap which destroys what monster she has on her field as Black Rose Dragon roared as it shattered before she activated Reject Reborn which negated his attack and special summoned her Rose Warrior of Revenge in defense mode before Astral told her to summon another level four monster which was Aromage Rosemary as something was glowing in her deck case as she took it out and saw it.
"Now, activate the Overlay Network and summon it." He said as she nodded. "Now I activate the Overlay Network and overlay my two level four monsters to XYZ summon! Number 39: Utopia!"
Golden light blinded them all as she looked away and then the light died down to reveal a large monster holding a sword and giant wings on the back which looked like an angel to her.
Then Iroha was nearly attacked before Astral told her what to do and they copied each other throughout the duel before Iroha won as she fell to her knees and let out the huge breath she held in.
"I won...? I won! Bronk, Tori! I won!" Iroha cheered as Tori and Bronk smiled for her as she finally noticed that Shark gave her Bronk's deck and smiled at her. "You should wear your hair down more often." Shark said as he walked away before Astral smiled at Iroha who was happy and Bronk bought them ice cream for the victory.
"Observation number 2: Victory can be sweet." Astral said eyeing the ice cream, Iroha saw him and moved her cone away from the spirit who tried to take the cone but she bit down it and got a brain freeze. "Eat it slowly! Were you trying to get it away from something?" Bronk said as Iroha nodded before recovering from her brain freeze as she headed home and noticed that Ui had left her a note.
Big Sis, I'm with Touka and Nemu for tonight.
Just to let you know.
-Ui
Iroha let out a sigh as she went to her room and changed into her pjs as she laid down on her comfortable bed before feeling someone touch her hair before she noticed Astral untangling her hair as she just sighed and hugged her pillow before letting the sleep take over.
