Reishi went home for like the 40th time.

Just like before she had taken the kaiba express (dead meme.) Home. Weirdly enough though, there was no fare on today's ride which was a bit suspicious to her.

Nonetheless, she arrived at her mansion with her hope and destiny in her heart.
*Creeeekkkk*
She grabbed the doorknob and twisted it lightly. The door made a sharp creaking noise as it opened leaving reishi with a sense of dread.

Juno: *Meow*

Her fears were put to rest as her loyal feline juno greeted her at the door. She wrapped around reishi legs and purred graciously.

Juno: *Purr*

Reishi: Oh girl…

Reishi picked juno up and walked inside. She went to her living room where she sat down on her couch. She began to relent about everything that had happened today.

Reishi: Damn, I have another match soon…..

Juno: *Meow*

Reishi: I know right….? Nearly two times in a row….

Juno: *Purr*

Reishi: I guess so. -But I don't think I can. I couldn't just surrender last time. It's not in my character.

Juno: Purr?

Reishi: …...

Reishi: (Why am I talking to a cat…?)

Reishi sighed and grabbed her Cyber-net Device. She clicked on app called 'kaiba-chat', which was a mobile calling service application. She used it to call her friends sometimes as an alternative to regular phone chatting.

She scrolled down the interface and clicked on shima's name.

*bring bring*

An automated ringing sound was heard.

Shima: Yeah?

Shima almost immediately picked up. A live video was playing of her and she appeared to be in her lab.

Shima: Hey reishi, What's going on?

Reishi: I just need to vent. Shima…

Reishi sighed.

Shima: Oh boy…. What happened?

Reishi: Yamane chose me again for the NIPS tournament.

Shima: Yikes….. that's rough.

Reishi: Tell me about it. I feel like a slave to this school at this point…..

Shima: At least slaves don't have to play card games to prove their worth to some overzealous government.

Reishi: Ha….

Reishi stretched and chuckled.

Reishi: Do you think I should go, shima?

Shima: Why are you asking me?

Reishi: I don't know, I think you're pretty smart.

Shima: I mean...Uh….

Shima blushed and got flustered.

Shima: Gee! I don't know! Go if you want to or you don't, Don't go!

She stumbled over her words.

Reishi: Why are you getting flustered?

Shima: I'm N-Not!

Reishi: Gosh, You sure are acting like a tsundere today.

Shima: -And You're acting like a baka.

Shima pouted as she twirled her hair.

Shima: Anyway, Reishi it's your choice. Go or don't. Two options.

Reishi: Gee… The way you describe it, it seems simpler.

Shima: Its literally two choices….

Reishi: I know but-

Suddenly reishi was cut off by the sound of rustling and stuff falling off of the shelves. It was coming from shima's end.

Something leaped from shima's shelves and onto her shoulders. It was the black and yellow snake that had greeted reishi before - Tezuka.

Shima: Tezuka! Gee….

Reishi: Eep!

Reishi yelped.

Shima: Heh, I guess he really likes you.

Reishi: Not exactly happy that I have the affection of a snake.

Shima: You should be .Tezuka here is prime genetic material. He had the best genes out of his litter!

Shima: He is prime breeding material! You should-

Reishi: Shima I don't like where this is going….

Shima: Ehehe, Sorry.

Shima pivoted back to the conversation at hand.

Shima: Look, my point is, I think you could beat anyone reishi. You're one of the best duelists I know.

Reishi: Ah, gee.

Shima: You don't have to prove yourself to the school or anyone else.

Shima: You're awesome reishi…. And you don't need to show it.

Reishi: Shima…..

Shima: Heh, Now You're the one blushing.

Reishi: Q-Quiet, You're the tsundere.

Shima: Tsundere implies…. That I have some sort of affection towards you. W-Which I don't!

Reishi: Sure.

Reishi: Although…...

Reishi: I think it's interesting how you immediately picked up this call. Almost as if you're excited to receive a call from me.

Shima: W-What are you saying….?

Reishi: Heh, nothing.

Reishi smirked and turned to juno who was licking herself. The cat licks reminded her of something else.

Reishi: By the way… Did you take hattori home?

Shima: …

Reishi: You forgot her at the school, didn't you?

Shima: Yeah.

Reishi: Shima!
