After getting mad at shima and scolding her, Reishi went to bed. It was a tough night for her as she could barely sleep through her head fog due to the upcoming duel.

The morning soon came and a new dawn started.

The sunlight crept into her eyes and nearly blinded reishi as a new day started. Birds were chirping, Trees were growing and a vast melody played out of the city as the construction of the city's new corridor continued. She got up from her insomnia laced state of non-sleep and stretched. She looked back on her bed and saw a huge wet spot.

Reishi: Gee, Was I sweating? I'm so gross.

She bemoaned.

She then shook her head and prepared to get ready. The girl went into her closet and pulled out a casual dress. She haphazardly pulled it over her body and slipped it on.
She looked in the mirror. Her golden silky hair flowed down from her head like a waterfall. The dress tightly compacted her chest, making her look like a mennonite.

Reishi: Perfect.

She remarked. The girl then went to the door and gripped the knob. She thought about the life choices that brought her to this moment.

Reishi: (I guess I'm really doing this… huh?)

Reishi: (I don't want to seem a coward and avoid this duel…..)

Reishi: (-And I don't want to let yamane down….)

She sighed.

Reishi: The things I do for my school…..

Reishi twisted the doorknob and went outside to her hallway. She fed juno and the koi before heading out to the dueling grounds.
As she walked she contemplated the point of this duel. In a way. It was almost patriotic in the way she was dedicated to her school. The question was, would it pay off for anything? Only time would tell.

Kaibacorp Sanctuary - Arena 3

Reishi arrived at kaibacorp sanctuary. The hope of neo domino city was this building as even the most abstract duelist could make something beautiful here.

She entered the arena and went through the hallway leading to the dueling ground. At the end of said hallway was shima.

Shima: So you decided to come.

Reishi: Yup. I figured I didn't have a choice anyway. I wanted to-

Reishi interrupted herself.

Reishi: Wait. Were you waiting for me?

Shima: I um…

Shima blushed.

Shima : I-I wanted to give the RX-5 of course.

Reishi: oh.

Shima: Yeah I think i've improved it since last time. Although I couldn't figure out where you heard that voice…..

Reishi: ….

Shima: Maybe it was a glitch? I'm really stumped reishi.

She sighed and handed Reishi the RX-5.

Reishi: Maybe I am insane after all…. I mean I do talk to my cat after all.

Shima: Oh reishi. I don't think you're crazy. You might be a crazy cat lady but you're not insane.

Reishi: Gee… Thanks, Shima.

Reishi rolled her eyes.

Shima: Now then…. I should advise you of all the changes i've made to the RX-5.

Shima: The first one is-

?: Reishi!

Before shima could even finish her sentence, a voice interjected their conversation. From the entrance of the arena came a familiar face….. Fumi. *Insertooo*FUCK

Shima: Oh god…. Here we go.

Shima moaned.

Reishi: Hello fumi.

Fumi: Konichiwa reishi. I didn't think you'd come, You didn't seem too keen on the last duel.

Reishi: Well, I didn't want to let you all down.

Fumi: Ah, You're so selfless reishi. A true maiden.

Shima: Your Nose is a bit brown… fumi.

Shima chimed in. Fumi scowled and glared at shima.

Fumi: Is this witch bothering you, reishi?

Fumi snarked.

Reishi: I-

Shima: Reishi ignore her. You don't have to talk to this Pig.

Fumi: Slut.

Shima: Whore.

Reishi: Can you two please just…. Calm down. You don't need to fight.

Shima scoffed and grabbed her bag.

Shima: You know what… You're right reishi. I don't even want to be in the same room as this wench!

Shima stormed off in the opposite direction. Her face was red and she puffed her cheeks.

Reishi: Wait shima, What about the changes to the RX-5!?

Shima: FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN.

She yelled back.

Fumi: Hmph. Good riddance.

Reishi: (What is the conflict between these two?)

Reishi wondered.

Fumi: Anyway I wanted to wish you luck in this duel.

Reishi: well, thanks.

Fumi: Trust me you're gonna need it. I heard your opponent is an apprentice of Jean Smith.

Reishi: Jean Smith? Who's that?

Fumi: You Haven't heard of Jean smith? He's Legendary!

Fumi: He's the winner of the U.S 'king of games' tournament 2052,2054,2055,2056 and the winner of the world championship Last year! He's only lost 3 matches in his entire life!

Fumi nerded out at Jean Smith. She named some of his other accomplishments like being a Spokeperson for Choco-Boss and the kaiba express.

Reishi: Well gee. It sounds Like I have my work cut out for me.

Fumi: Well Duh. But I still believe you can win.

Reishi: Do you have any advice?

Fumi: Advice…? Um….

She stuttered.

Fumi: So my advice to you is…. Um, Well…. Just win!

Fumi simply said.

Reishi: "Just win."

Reishi: Ha well. I never thought of that before!

Reishi sarcastically said.

Reishi: My brain is in recovery mode from taking in so many high level ideas!

Fumi: Is that sarcasm I detect?

Reishi: N-No, I was just-

Reishi: *Sigh* (Why did I even ask?)

Fumi: Good. You'll need some grit to face your opponent.

Reishi: ….?

Fumi: Good luck out there.

*Tap*
Fumi slapped reishi on her behind.
She had been used to getting her butt smacked by hattori and it felt innocent when that happened. -but with Fumi it felt like it had an intention of lust and possession.

Reishi: Umm. Yeah.

Reishi rolled her eyes and walked to the dueling arena ahead of her. She knew whomever she faced would be a pretty tough opponent. A disciple of a dueling master….. How quaint. Nonetheless reishi would have to use her hope to overcome whomever she faced.
