Series: Yugioh Zexal

-Mizuki residence-

Kotori yawned while slowly waking up at five in the morning. She felt a cool breeze coming in through the open window and moved out of bed and walked to it. 'I should have checked the weather, I didn't think it was gonna be this cool so early.'

As she looked out the window, she noticed that there was a new billboard outside that was advertising extra large bras. She glanced down at herself while shutting the window and sighed. 'I need to get some sleep or I'll fall asleep in class.'

As she went back to bed, she didn't notice that a blank card flew in and landed under her pillow. Said card seemed to give off a glow which she didn't see as she pulled the covers up and closed her eyes.

(In her dreams)

Kotori blinked while in a dark black ocean in a blue and green v-cup bikini with no memory of how she got there. She looked around and saw it was just her and shivered since the water was cold.

Splash.

Splash.

She looked around before seeing a pair of yellow eyes looking at her from the water's depths. She shivered and tried swimming away and looked around. "Where's the beach? There must be a shore around here."

"Do you want to return to the shore?" said a distorted voice.

"Huh? Who? Who said that?" she asked looking around while getting goosebumps.

"A friend."

"What kind?" she asked on guard. "Where are you?"

"A good one, and look down."

She did and saw the eyes.

"Hello."

"AHH!" she yelped jumping back while seeing ripples and started swimming away.

"You can't run from me, I only mean to help."

She swam faster before seeing the eyes all around her.

"Want to return to shore?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then make a deal with me."

Kotori stopped swimming and looked at the eyes. "What?"

"You heard me, want to make a deal with me?"

"...what kind?" she asked, getting creeped out. "Just who ARE you?"

"A friend and just a simple insignificant little deal." it spoke as she saw what looked like black goop rising up with the eyes looking right at her. "You needn't be worried, I'm here to help you."

Kotori gulped. "W-What deal?"

"It's simple...I want you to feed me and destroy a certain person."

"Feed you?" Kotori backed up with a shiver. "What do you mean?"

"You know, with numbers." The voice chuckled. "Like Utopia."

Kotori's eyes widened while the slime rose up and got bigger and bigger with her sweating nervously. "U-Utopia?"

"Yes, I require more numbers for more power. And with you, it'll be possible." the voice chuckled as the slime moved towards her.

"B-But-"

"Don't you want to swim to shore? To be better than anyone else, to get back at that cat girl for trying to steal what is yours?"

"Wait, you mean Cathy?" she asked, seeing the slime spread out and surround her making her shiver and feel fear.

"Yes. I can help. You see, I know what you're like, what you're really like."

"N-No you don't!" she yelled out shaking her head.

"Oh? So you mean to tell me you don't feel the least bit annoyed when she smiles at the person you're close to? The boy you secretly yearn for?"

She blushed.

"So do you want to be the one he sees as a woman or a bridesmaid for some other wedding?" the slime asked moving closer with Kotori shaking her head.

"You don't know what you're talking about! I...I don't like Yuma like that!"

"Ah, I said the boy you secretly liked, I never said his name." laughed the slime. "So you admit it yourself."

"N-No!"

"So, want to be the best? Then take my offer or you might never make it to shore before he marries, and who knows, it might be that cat girl that gets him in the end."

"No way!" she shook her head while feeling the water getting up higher and felt her body grow heavy. "This isn't real! It's just a dream I'll wake up from!"

"Perhaps, or perhaps not. Face it Kotori, whether you choose to pursue Yuma is up to you, but I can guarantee you power in anything you want. If you use me and take my offer, I will make sure nothing stands in your way, and no one either." The slime chuckled while forming a long hand from its body. "So care to shake on it?"

Kotori was struggling to stay afloat due to the water and coughed some out when it reached her neck and looked at the hand with unease, but also felt compelled to accept it at the offer, even the rational part thinking back on what it wanted.

"I don't have all day you know."

Kotori coughed and felt herself almost ready to go under and reached out before grabbing the hand with the slime letting out a chuckle. "O-Ok! Ok! Just please help!"

The slime formed a toothy grin. "Good, oh and one more thing, I'm consuming your body for this to work so...hope you company!"

"Wait wha-"

NOM!

Her screams were muffled as everything went black with the slime coating her whole body as in the real world she groaned and tossed in her sleep as the card glowed with a glowing number appearing on the back of her neck.

(Later on)

Yuma ran down the road while trying to get to class on time, since he slept in and it's two minutes before class.

"Yuma, you will be late at the rate you are running."

"I know that already!" He yelled while running fast, went under a ladder and had a swarm of black cats crossing his path.

"Observation, you have bad luck today."

"I do not!"

"But is it not true that all those lead to several years of bad luck?"

"That's just-" he tried to say before slipping on a banana peel, went flying down hill, hit several mirrors, and crashed right into a china shop.

CRASH!

Destroying everything and cementing his status as a bull in a china shop.

Astral floated over the very bloodied Yuma. "Observation, I was correct about your bad luck."

"Shut...up." he groaned getting up and looked himself over. "Dang it! I gotta get myself cleaned up."

"Ahem." said an old lady with a broom. "Not until you pay for everything you destroyed."

"Uh…." Yuma smiled nervously. "I don't have my wallet on me?"

"..." she gave him the broom. "Then clean this up!"

"UGH!"

(Three hours of cleaning later)

-At school-

"Great, I'm the latest I've ever been, must be a record." he grumbled.

"It was your bad luck that caused the disaster."

"Don't remind me." He grumbled while walking to class, only to discover that it was almost the end of the school day. "...damn it!"

"Why hello Yuma, so glad you could finally make it."

He groaned seeing his teacher. "Um...I have a good reason why I'm late."

"Humor me."

"I crashed into a china shop and had to clean up the whole mess I made."

"...see me later today for detention." The teacher said while walking away.

'DAMN IT!' He thought before seeing Kotori walking down the hall. "Hey Kotori, wait up!"

But she didn't respond before turning to him with a smile. "Hello Yuma, what is it?"

"Sorry I was so late today, I was hung up on other stuff."

She blinked. "Was it Cathy?"

"Eh? No."

"Did you run into Shark and spend the time dueling him?"

"No."

"...was it a bully?"

"No."

"...did you oversleep again?"

"...maybe?" he looked away while she sighed and shook her head. "B-But it wasn't just that! I...kinda...might have...broken a bunch of china and had to stick around and clean it all up."

"..." she chuckled at that while Yuma turned red in the face.

"It's not funny!"

"Actually it is, what next? A museum full of glass?" Kotori laughed.

"With your bad luck Yuma, it is possible." remarked Astral.

"I told you I don't have bad luck!" he yelled at the figure.

Kotori looked at Astral while smirking a little. 'There he is, the puppet master pulling on my Yuma's strings.'

'Indeed, the original number too.' came the voice in her head, who Kotori had been told was called Number 96, Dark Mist. 'The one who's caused all the trouble that's been going on. He's the one at fault here.'

'But what should we do exactly? I can't punch a...ghost.'

'Don't worry, just focus on getting me numbers without getting his attention. No doubt he's helping this Yuma friend of yours to get more numbers, which is why you need to make sure they don't find out about me, got it?'

'Of course, I'm no fool.' she thought with a dark tint to her eyes while Yuma waved a hand in front of her eyes.

"Kotori? Kotori. You in there?"

"Eh? What?" She asked innocently. "I was daydreaming about...well you getting straight A's."

"Really?"

"No, just about how funny it would be if you accidentally went to school naked or something." She chuckled. "Sorry, I'm still trying to get that he he he."

He deadpanned and groaned. "It's not that funny."

"He he he."

"It is amusing." Astral said. "And highly likely due to your unfortunate bad luck."

"I don't have bad luck!" yelled Yuma flailing his arms. "I'm the luckiest guy in the whole school for your information!"

"With my assistance maybe, but before I came...so quote a passerby from that day. You couldn't even win against a Kuriboh."

"Who said that?!"

"Some random person." Astral said. "I also have a number of quotes from said person, want to hear them?"

"No!"

"Well school's almost done for the day, sorry we couldn't hang out." apologized Kotori. "Maybe we can make up for it tomorrow, just try to get up early."

"Really?"

She nodded. "And Yuma...want to hang out tomorrow after school? See a movie or something?" 'He he he.'

He blinked and was speechless with Astral curious. "Uh, you mean, just the two of us?"

"Well of course, who else would there be?" Kotori waved off. "So, want to hang out?"

"Sure, sounds fun." he smiled.

"Great." she smiled before the bell rang and she walked off with a wave. "See ya."

She waved back before smirking a little. 'So easy...although it does feel wrong playing with his feelings. Especially when he just got out of a china shop.'

'He will be fine.' waved off Dark Mist. 'For the time being, you can use this time to hunt for numbers.'

'But I don't duel, I don't even have a deck.'

'That is why I made you a deck while you were sleeping. It's in your back pocket.'

She blinked while touching her skirt and felt a deck right in her pocket.

'It's a very good one too, better than the Gagagas and the like in his deck. Looks better too in my opinion.'

'Ok, but I still never dueled before.'

'You'll learn fast. Just follow my orders when we find someone with a number and you'll do just fine.'

'Well...ok, but please don't give me bad advice.'

'Like I would do that to my partner in crime.' the number chuckled with Kotori not feeling unnerved by it.

(Later)

Kotori walked down a dark street while looking at the deck in her hand while feeling an exhilarated sensation. She could finally feel how good it meant to duel with her own cards.

The only problem was that she didn't know HOW to find a number, or a duelist for that matter.

'Hopefully I don't accidentally ask a weirdo to duel...ugh.'

'It doesn't matter who you duel, so long as they have a number, that's what counts.' spoke Dark Mist firmly. 'Whether it be a man, woman, or child, you WILL get their number.'

"But how? I don't even know where to find one."

'Just look for someone with either a mark or a crazed look on their face. It's easy to figure out who's in possession with a number.'

Kotori looked around and fiddled with the deck before she spotted someone sitting at a bench and staring at a card with a grin. She ducked behind a bush and squinted her eyes. "Hang on, I see someone."

"He he he he." chuckled the person. "Yes yes, I will take care of you...my precious."

'Yep, obsession. That's a number holder.'

'What should I do first?'

'It's obvious. Make your presence known and make it clear you want the number. He won't give it up, so you'll take it in a duel. Remember, show NO mercy. Doing so will make you hesitate and lead to your end. Just think about the power you'll get with that card in our possession.'

'And if I lose?'

'Consider Yuma off the market and in the hands of a cat girl.'

Kotori frowned hearing that and clenched her hand before taking a deep breath and walked out. "Hey you!"

The figure didn't hear her. "Precious precious. He he he."

Kotori was annoyed and walked closer before tapping his shoulder. "Hey you, I'm talking to you."

"He he he. Precious."

"HEY!"

He turned and saw her. "What? I'm busy here."

"Yeah, staring at that number." she frowned. "And I'm here to take it for myself."

"Hell no! My precious and I are going to marry tonight so fuck off!" He hissed in anger.

'Ew.'

"Fuck off!"

"I've got a better idea. We duel." she frowned. "Winner gets the loser's number card."

"Fuck off! Precious and I need to make babies!"

"..." she pulled out her duel disk. "Just duel before I rip that number up!"

He growled at Kotori while seeing her holding a glowing card and grinned. "Another precious? Alright! I'll duel, win, and claim it as my own!"

"And once I get your card, I'm kicking you in the groin!"

'Mmm...I'd love to see that partner.'

'Weirdos like this need a good dose of reality.' Kotori thought with a frown.

"Precious precious! I will have all the precious!" The man laughed while twitching like crazy with a grin. He activated his duel disk with Kotori doing the same.

Man: 4000

Kotori: 4000

"You start." Kotori said. "After all, you are going to lose regardless."

"Fine, I draw!"

Man's hand: 6

"I start things off and summon Goblin Attack Force in attack mode!"

Said monsters appeared while looking very eager for a battle.

Goblin Attack Force- ATK: 2300/DEF: 0

Kotori looked at the monster while feeling a little intimidated as this was her first duel.

"Then I put one face down card, your move." he snickered.

Kotori's hand: 6

She looked at her cards and tried to figure out what to do next. 'Ok, should I try and defend? His monster's attack is pretty high, and I don't know if I can battle it this turn. Should I play a spell? Or set a trap? Gah! Yuma makes it seem so much easier.'

'Want help or no?' asked Dark Mist.

'Of course! I don't know what to do!'

'Oh, alright. For this particular monster, I suggest baiting him with a weak monster with a devastating special effect then use a field spell to increase your own monsters and weaken his. But don't try anything stupid like a strong monster, he will see through you and try tributing on the next turn.'

'But I only have two monsters in my hand. Do I go with attack or defense?'

'Attack, that way it's more of a surprise when you use your field spell and effect.'

"Ok, I'll summon out my Autumn Fairy Sprite in attack mode!"

A small fairy with black mold on its brownish leaf dress and bone like wings appeared on the field.

Autumn Fairy Sprite- ATK: 100/DEF: 900

"Ha! Weak!"

'What's next?'

'Add the field spell, then end your turn.'

"Um...I place the field spell Autumn Realm on the field."

A large decayed forest with black soil and purple sludge appeared on the field as the Autumn Fairy Sprite's eyes glowed a purple hue.

"Ha! Precious isn't scared of this! Ha ha!"

"Do you ever stop laughing? It's annoying." she frowned. "Now I end my turn."

Man's hand: 5

"Ha ha ha! Go my goblins! Attack the stupid fairy!"

As the monster ran towards the fairy, it got stuck in the sludge.

"EH?!"

'Autumn Realm allows weaker monsters to attack, but leaves those over two thousand unable to move unless they tribute a hundred life points per monster. The perfect trap.'

"Your goblins can't do a thing because they have over two thousand attack points." smirked Kotori. "And if you want them to attack, you have to pay up a one hundred life points."

'Gah! Don't tell him that! Now he will summon weaker monsters instead of his strongest ones!'

"What? But I thought I was supposed to explain the card effects." she whispered.

'No! That won't help you win! You had to WAIT until they have very few life points UNTIL you explain the card effects. This isn't a friendly duel it's a duel to the metaphorical death!'

"Then why make me play it so early!" she yelled out with the man chuckling.

"A hundred life points? I can pay that no problem!"

'See! Now he's going to keep paying life points until that cards destroyed. As for WHY I told you to play it, it was to get him flustered and unable to THINK!' Dark Mist growled. 'Are you REALLY as dumb as Yuma?!'

"HEY! This is my first duel!" she scowled. "You're the one who wanted me to go finding numbers right off the bat and didn't bother helping me figure out these cards!"

"I pay the price an attack your fairy."

Man: 3900

BOOM!

And cue the fairy exploding into dust from several clubs.

Kotori reeled back from the shockwave.

Kotori: 1800

'Again, don't do that again! You need to keep him in the dark UNTIL he's on his last ropes, now GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!'

"ALRIGHT ALREADY!" she snapped with an eye twitch. "Then why don't you do a better job of telling me these things ahead of time?!"

'Fine, but don't blurt out my advice next time.'

"I'll be nice and end my turn, but if that's all you can do then that other precious will be all mine next turn!"

Kotori's hand: 4

Kotori looked at the cards while feeling overwhelmed. 'Ok, so with me having no monsters, I should go on the defense, right?'

'Look again, you have another monster. And its effect can cripple his life points, just listen to me this time and try not to blabber.' Dark Mist deadpanned.

"Precious is waiting." The man tapped his foot.

"Fine, I summon Autumn Witch to the field in attack mode."

A small witch with a bone like hat and a staff made out of leaves appeared.

Autumn Witch- ATK: 600/DEF: 700

"And I use her effect, one per turn I can pick a random card from your hand and if it's a monster, you lose life points equal to that monster's attack."

"Ha! Go ahead and pick, but it won't do much." he smirked.

"Alright, then it's time to pick." she spoke holding a finger out. "I pick...the one on the far left."

And the card was turned to reveal...the monster card Launcher Spider.

The witch zapped the card as black sludge covered the man's face.

Man: 1800

"Ahhh!" he cried out with a glare with Kotori smirking.

"What was that about it not doing much?"

'It was a lucky shot, but to max out the monster's effect, I suggest using a spell to destroy that monster. Like oh say Black Hole or something.'

"But it'll wipe out my own monster too."

'Autumn Realm can summon a monster if you tribute a spell into the graveyard.'

"Really?"

'Yes. Now use it when he attacks, and it can be from the deck or graveyard the monster, not the hand.'

"Alright, I can work with that." Kotori said. "I'll end my turn."

Man's hand: 5

"My goblins are in defense mode after attacking, but they won't stay for long! I'll sacrifice them and summon Luster Dragon #2!"

A large green dragon appeared while roaring as it had blue diamonds on the arms and legs with a small beard under its head.

Luster Dragon #2- ATK: 2400/DEF: 1400

"And then I activate my face down card! Rush Recklessly!"

Said card appeared and caused the dragon to glow an orange hue.

"Ha ha ha!" he laughed. "Now his attack points go up by seven hundred!"

Luster Dragon #2- ATK: 3100

"Now go! Eat that witch and give me that precious!"

"Not so fast! I activate Autumn Realm's other effect! If I sacrifice a spell card, I can summon a monster from my deck or graveyard! And I'll get rid of Dark Hole from my hand!"

The card vanished before a giant leaf storm appeared and covered the field.

"Now come out! Autumn Deity!"

A giant octopus like creature appeared while it was covered in black ooze, purple bones, fifty eyes, and had two large branch like hands with pointed nails at each end.

Autumn Deity- ATK: 3200/DEF: 0

"And when he's summoned to the field, you lose one thousand life points." Kotori said as the deity summoned a storm of skeletal birds to attack the man directly.

Man: 800

"GAH!" he cried out stumbling back with a growl.

"Oh and by the way." Kotori said as Dark Mist whispered into her ear. "His other effect is that you have to attack him, no one else."

"What?!"

"That's right, which means your dragon can't do anything else but battle him."

"Grrrrr!" He growled while foaming at the mouth.

'Ha! What a rabid beast.'

The man growled. "Fine! Get it over with!"

"Mmm, don't you have to attack first? It's still your turn."

"FUCK OFF WHORE! I get it!"

"Whore?!" she let out with a frown and glare.

The dragon lunged at Autumn Deity, only to get a poison ink cloud to the face.

BOOM!

Which exploded and caused the dragon to burst into pieces.

Man: 700

"I put one face down card and end my turn."

Kotori's hand: 5

Kotori looked at the field before looking at Dark Mist, who was still a cloud of nothing and gold eyes.

'What? You can end him, but he might pull his number out if your not careful.'

"Then what do you suggest?"

'I say use a spell to drindle his life points to zero, and you have such a card.'

Kotori looked at the middle card and blinked.

'All you have to do is sacrifice seven hundred life points and poof, he's done and the number is ours for the taking.'

"Um ok. I activate the spell card Autumn Destruction."

A card with a rotting tree that leaked ooze from the branches appeared on the field.

"And I will get rid of your life points by sacrificing seven hundred life points."

"What?!"

"Basically you perv, I can get rid of any amount of your life points as long as I sacrifice as many from my life points."

"You can't!"

"Oh yes I can!"

Kotori: 1100

A black sludge ball shot out of the card and hit the man in the face.

Man: 0

At the same speed as a bullet.

"AHHH!" he yelled falling back and groaning while Kotori smiled.

"I won! I won I won!"

'Just get the card from his deck.' Dark Mist deadpanned. 'Save the victory party for when we get ALL of them.'

"Uh...how do I do that?"

'Like this.' Dark Mist's form glowed dark before a black tendril shot out and reached into the man who groaned before a glowing orb rose into the tendril and into Dark Mist.

"...oh."

'It was a weak number, but I have a little more form. But I won't be able to touch you until we get more numbers.'

"Well before we do, I'm gonna go over this deck until I know for sure what to do on my own."

'Good, I don't want to feel like a babysitter who has to do all the work. Of course, I COULD take over the reins if you can't duel.' chuckled the number with Kotori frowning.

"I can duel on my own, I just need to understand all these new cards from memory."

'Good, just make it quick. I don't want to wait too long just to get another number card.'

"I'll figure this deck out in no time, but it's getting late and I need to get back home or my mom is gonna want answers on where I've been." Kotori said before walking away. 'Hopefully Yuma doesn't get too angry when I take his numbers.'

(Much later)

Yuma yawned while waking up from his bed. He rubbed his eyes and went to get dressed while managing to get up earlier than usual.

As he looked at the mirror, he noticed that Kotori was watching him from the window, which he quickly looked at and saw...no one there.

"What the...yawn."

"What is wrong Yuma?" asked Astral.

"Oh nothing...thought I saw Kotori outside." He yawned.

"...have you been dreaming of her lately?" Astral asked while Yuma spat out his toothbrush.

"W-What?! No! Of course not!"

"Then why Kotori specifically?"

"Um…" He gulped before seeing Kotori outside the window again. "Look!"

Astral looked outside and saw no one. "Look at what? The clouds?"

"No Kotori! I just saw her!"

"I think you need some rest, I suggest going back to bed."

"But I did see her!" He yelled while seeing Kotori again, waving at him. "THERE!"

The spirit looked out and saw no one outside, just the rising sun. "Observation, the sun is brighter in the morning then during the afternoon...fascinating."

Yuma ran over and looked outside the window. "I don't get it, what's Kotori doing outside my house?"

"Go back to bed Yuma."

"But-" He said while not looking down, which had Kotori holding on for dear life on the rooftop.

"Now."

"Ugh!" he groaned. "Fine! I'll go back to bed, but I don't wanna hear you telling me to hurry up and get up!"

As he walked back, Kotori peeked her head up and looked inside.

'Why did you make me do this again?'

'To make sure he's getting up, and to steal his numbers if we have the chance.'

'But I thought we could only get numbers by winning them in a duel?'

'Sometimes, but most of the time it's through stealing.'

'But why did you make me climb the roof?!'

'It's easier than knocking at the door, plus you might need the exercise.'

'I get plenty of that in gym!'

'Yeah yeah, oh and look the bathroom is unoccupied. Go inside and try stealing his numbers.'

Kotori looked inside and climbed into the bathroom. 'I still think this is way too risky.'

'Just go inside.'

She grumbled before tiptoeing inside and saw that his room...was a pigsty. 'YUCK! What has he been doing?!'

'Nevermind that, just see if you can find anything under this mess.'

She gagged before looking around, finding dirty underwear, moldy pizza and smelly socks in the process. 'GAH! I'm not going to get those numbers UNTIL I clean this...this...PIGSTY!'

'I said forget about the mess.' Dark Mist said before seeing Kotori throwing the moldy food out the window. 'Hey!'

'I told you. I'm. Not. Doing it until. I clean. THIS. MESS!'

'You dare to disobey me? I am ORDERING you to listen to me!'

But it was too late, the girl was in cleaning mode and she won't stop until everything was tidy and clean. And not even a number could stop her. All the while Yuma snored while in his hammock.

"Zzzzzz."

(Some cleaning later)

'Done.' Kotori smirked as the room was completely clean and sparkled like diamonds. 'And it only took me two hours.'

'Yes, now you can get back to the reason we came here.'

Kotori looked around before seeing Yuma's deck and grabbed it...before licking it. 'It..tastes like him...wow…'

'What the fuck?!'

She smiled and put it back down while blushing. 'Sorry, I couldn't help myself.'

'...you are disgusting. Just get the numbers before I puke in your head.'

She looked around while unable to see the numbers at all. "I don't see any numbers."

'Try the hammock.'

'And wake him up?! No!'

'It's either that or look through his under-' Dark Mist was interrupted by Kotori rummaging through the underwear drawer and sniffing each one heavily. 'Wear drawer….you have no shame, you know that right?'

"Mmm, this was a good idea…" muttered the girl with a bright blush.

'Get your head out of the gutter!'

"Mmm...it smells good...like candy…"

Dark Mist growled before it's shape glowed and moved around Kotori who stiffened up and groaned when she felt her body start to drop the underwear and move on it's own.

"H-Hey, what's going...on?"

'I'm taking over now find me those numbers you underwear freak!'

Kotori groaned while walking around the room.

"Zzzzz." snored Yuma with a little drool as Kotori looked through the deck again and found none.

'Where is it?' She thought before noticing Yuma's pendant on the table. 'Should I-'

'Do that and you're going to wake up the ghost and THEN you're in big trouble.'

'Well the numbers aren't here!'

'...then I guess we have to go, but not before tying up your boyfriend and getting him a bad start.'

'No!'

'Too late, I'm making you tie up the boy in his own blanket.'

Kotori gritted her teeth as she moved over near Yuma. 'Don't! He'll wake up and see me then!'

'He's knocked out cold, I doubt he would wake up from an asteroid collision.'

"Zzzzzz."

(Later)

Yuma snored while Astral looked at him with disbelief as he was now hanging upside down and tied up with his own blankets...and hanging from the windowsill.

"Yuma, Yuma wake up!"

"Zzzz." He snored before slowly waking up. "Huh...why's the world upside down?"

"Because you're the one hanging upside down."

Yuma blinked before looking down. "...AHHH! W-What the?!"

"Someone must have tired you up in your sleep."

"Get me down!"

"I can't, I have no corporal form."

Yuma flailed around and squirmed before the blankets came undone and he went falling into the bushes. "OW!"

Astral looked down and saw Yuma covered in thorns. "Are you ok?"

"No…" he let out with a wince.

"...I see."

Yuma groaned while not seeing Kotori right near the gate.

"Yuma. Whatcha doing?" She asked with a smile.

"Ah!" he jumped seeing her and pointed at her. "Astral look! Kotori's right there!"

"I can see that."

"I'm not crazy!"

"That statement is semi credible at best."

"Hey!"

"Yuma." Kotori smiled. "Are you ready for school yet?"

"Not yet, but I gotta know, what was with you looking through my window yesterday?"

She tilted her head confused. "What are you talking about? I wasn't looking through your window."

"But I saw you."

"Yuma." She placed her hands on her hips. "Why would I look at you through a window? I have other things to do besides babysit you." 'Like sniffing your underwear.'

"But I know I saw you! At least...I think I did." he muttered rubbing his head while Lilybot came out sweeping the porch. "This is so confusing."

"Well you better get to school." Kotori said before walking away. "And Yuma?"

"Yes?"

"Put some pants on, you're exposing yourself to a lady." She said with a mock blush.

He looked down and yelped seeing he was in his underwear and quickly covered it with a blush.

"Lillybot finds Yuma's situation funny." Lillybot chuckled.

"It's not funny!"

"It is. Ha ha. Ha ha."

He blushed while feeling very unlucky today.

(Later on)

"So Yuma, you remember our plan for after school, right?"

"Um...what was it again?"

"Our date of course." Kotori huffed.

"Oh right! I remember, the movies right?"

"Yes and I picked out the movie." She said while pulling out two tickets. "It's Dark Magician Girl and the Forbidden Castle."

"Is it an action movie?"

"It's a romance movie and a comedy."

"Aww, can't we see an action one?"

"No." Kotori frowned. "No action movies."

"Fine."

"Also, try to be mature." She sweatdropped. "And less...you know."

"Less what?"

"Less...childish."

"Hey I'm not childish!"

She raised an eyebrow before Tetsuo ran over to them panting. "Morning Tetsuo."

"Guys! Guys! You're never gonna believe what I just heard." he panted when he stopped.

"What is it?" Yuma asked curiously.

"There's this guy in our class claiming to be the best and he's got a wicked strong deck. Probably stronger than Shark's."

"What?! Who?!"

"Some kid calling him Draco."

"...who?" Both asked in confusion.

"Yeah, truth is I don't remember the kid either. I think he kept to himself and stayed in the back of the room, but now he's suddenly taking on people left and right and started calling himself that."

"How exactly?" Kotori asked. "Like from a card or by bribing students?"

"He's using dragon cards and has been a lot more outgoing and talkative. Kinda like Yuma, only more annoying."

"Hey!"

"And?"

"And you're gonna have to see what he's like with your own eyes."

"Sorry but Yuma and I are going on a date." Kotori frowned.

Yuma blushed with Tetsuo looking at her surprised before he chuckled a little. "Hey, what's so funny?"

"T-That's a good one Kotori, you and Yuma going on a date."

"We are going on a date." she frowned making him stop and Yuma blush. "After school, me and him are going to watch a movie."

"...what?!"

"Is that a problem?" she frowned with Tetsuo shaking his head.

"No, it's just...unexpected that's all."

She sighed. "Later Tetsuo, and tell this Draco guy that if he tries anything to annoy our date, I will kick him so hard that he will be screaming through his ass!"

"But...he doesn't even know about it."

"Then keep it that way. I don't care what he says or how big he thinks he is, the only thing I wanna focus on is the date, now let's get to class Yuma."

"Um…ok." He blushed.

Tetsuo watched the two walk away and rubbed his head while still stunned. 'Man, whoever thought those would go on a date. Didn't even know Yuma knew what a date was.'

(Later on)

-Movie theater-

Kotori and Yuma were walking into the theater while Kotori had dressed up in a new outfit to make it feel more special.

Said dress was a black dress with a tiny skirt and a gold necklace. This in turn made her look very cute.

Yuma himself thought the same as she showed the tickets while they grabbed some snacks and went to the theater that was showing the film.

Which was about to start when it showed a cartoon of Gagaga Girl attacking a Toon Mermaid with a hammer.

"Is this part of the show?" Yuma whispered.

"It's a before movies cartoon."

"Is it long?"

"For this one...about five minutes or so."

"Gah!"

"HUSH!" The audience yelled out.

He frowned while Kotori handed him some popcorn.

"Snack on that until it's over."

He grumbled before taking a few bites of it, not knowing she added her saliva into it.

'Again, you are disgusting. Just take his numbers already.'

'Quiet. I wanna enjoy this date and not worry about those.'

'Ugh.' scoffed Dark Mist with it hiding under the seat with Astral floating beside Yuma. 'Who cares about this 'movie'? I'm more interested in this 'Draco' person. Sounds to me like he might have a number.'

'Hush!'

'Don't you dare hush me!'

'Hush! The movie is starting.'

'...fine, I'll humor you and let you watch this 'movie', but keep in mind, I WON'T tolerate disrespect, especially when it's me who gave you the power to even ask this fool out on this 'date'.'

'Hush!'

The cartoon showed the two duel monsters getting into all sorts of antics with each other.

BOOOM!

Including bombs.

Yuma munched on popcorn while Kotori glanced at the boy's hand.

'I'll wait until the right moment and make my move.'

(Later on)

Kotori sipped her soda while the movie was reaching its climax.

That being the kiss between DMG and the villain turned heroine Gagaga Goddess. Something Yuma seemed really into, much to Kotori's annoyance.

"Yes! Kiss her!"

"Yuma."

"What? It's a cute set of duel monsters."

'And yet he's drooling at them, not ME!' she thought with an eye twitch. "Yuma, I know it's part of the movie, but keep in mind, they're fictional."

"No, they're real."

Astral shook his head while seeing a spiritual DMG floating next to him.

"Stupid people! My butt isn't that big!" She cried out with tears in her eyes. "I didn't consent to this!"

"They're just people in costumes."

"But they look so real."

"Yuma." She deadpanned. "Just watch the movie." 'And stop looking at them!'

"Can do." he smiled with Kotori glancing at his hand again.

'Maybe now would be the right time to show that he has a perfectly real girl right next to him.'

'Or you could knock him out, get the numbers and leave him alone.'

'No, I'm not doing that to Yuma.'

'Why? It's easier, logical, and it's clear this fool isn't worthy of our time.'

Kotori frowned. 'I don't want to do that! Just shut up and watch the movie, THEN we can find OTHER numbers. Remember last night?'

'...right, you're still learning. Fine, but if he finds out about our deal, I'm taking over.'

'He won't.' she took a deep breath before moving her hand over and put it on top of Yuma's.

He looked at her. "Um Kotori?"

"Yes?"

"You're a little too close to me."

"We're sitting right next to each other, of course we're gonna be close."

"Well yeah, but...you're really close to me."

"So?" She said while moving her head on his shoulder. "This is what couples do."

His eyes widened and face turned crimson. "C-C-Couples?"

"Of course, why else would I ask you on a date?" She said while closing her eyes. 'He smells very nice, must be a new deodorant or shampoo…I must have it!'

Yuma's jaw dropped hearing that and was overwhelmed. Him and Kotori? A couple? That's why she wanted a date?

As he tried to comprehend the situation, the hamster in his head went on break, causing his mind to overload.

POOF!

And explode with metaphysical smoke leaking out the ears.

"Ugh…" he groaned in pain.

"Yuma? Are you ok?"

"Ugh…" he groaned before passing out.

"Yuma?!"

"HUSH!"

(Later on)

Kotori sighed while dragging Yuma out of the theater. "I can't believe he couldn't handle something that simple."

"Ugh…" he groaned while still out like a light. "Ugh…"

'Just ditch him and get me a number.'

"Is numbers the only thing you know how to talk about?"

'Yes.'

Kotori groaned at that. 'Figures.'

'Just find one before I fade away.'

"Ugh...pancake boobs…" Yuma groaned in his 'sleep'.

'If that's a jab at my figure I'm slugging him.'

"Pancake...boobie birds…"

PUNCH!

And cue Kotori punching the boy in the face, very annoyed and her pride broken a little. Which made him wake up and cry out while holding his face.

"YEOW!"

"Jerk."

"Kotori?! What the-"

"You called me a pancake boobie bird."

"...what?"

"Admit it! You have a problem with me being so flat compared to those girls from the movie."

"Um Kotori." Yuma said while his brain was still waking up. "I think I was dreaming of you that time, but made of pancakes."

"..." she blinked before facepalming. 'Of course.'

"Sorry, I guess the popcorn made me think of something sweet."

Kotori sighed. "Just don't call me that again Yuma."

He chuckled nervously before Kotori walked the other way. "Hey Kotori, where are you going?"

"I figured since the date's over we'd just head back home, we do have school tomorrow, remember?"

"Oh right…"

"But if you get to school early maybe I could." She turned her head and smirked. "Kiss you as a reward?"

Yuma felt his face go red again and watched Kotori walk away and gulped while flabbergasted, mostly due to the fact that he was in a relationship. And with Kotori!

Astral appeared next to him. "So, shall you go buy a tuxedo and a ring now or later?"

"What do you mean?"

"For the wedding of course, although I have no recollection of how such an event actually goes."

"WHAT?!" Yuma let out and looked at Astral like he was crazy. "We're not getting married!"

"Observation." He muttered while looking at the sky. "Humans are naturally inclined to hide their feelings of matrimony with flustered cheeks and loud voices."

"ASTRAL!"

(Later)

Kotori smiled while jotting down in her diary how well the date went while feeling full of energy. 'Dear diary, today I went on a date with Yuma. And...he smelled so good! Like so good! And oh…his voice…it sounded like crying devils...nevermind that part.'

And it started to become very disjointed and lewd.

'Can you please stop writing that filth and get me a number, I'm famished here and I don't have any organs yet!' Dark Mist growled.

"Relax, we'll go looking for one after I'm done here."

'Fine, but stop thinking while you write. I'm not into your fetishes.'

"They're not fetishes!"

'Sure they aren't.' he scoffed. 'You humans seem more and more disgusting the longer I stay here.'

Kotori frowned at that before putting her diary away. "I'm done."

'Finally, now lets pay that Draco guy a visit.'

"Tomorrow, it's getting late."

'No, tonight.'

"And I say tomorrow." she frowned. "I don't know where he lives, so I wouldn't be able to find him."

'I already scouted ahead, and you will take his number.' Dark Mist frowned. 'Or your contract will be void and that fool you call a boyfriend will belong to someone else. And you really don't want that happening now do you?'

Kotori glared at Dark Mist and clenched her pencil before letting out a huff. "Fine, let's get it so you'll quit whining."

'Good, now jump out the window and we can start the hunt.'

"I know how to leave my room, I don't need you telling me that." She frowned.

(Later on)

'So you know how to use the deck now, right? Or will I have to do all the work again?'

'Well yes I do.'

'You sure?'

'Yes, I looked it over during school so I was prepared.'

Dark Mist looked unamused. 'We will see.'

Kotori huffed while feeling more annoyed with the number as she reached a normal looking house. 'Is this the place?'

'Yes, now sneak inside. Or you can throw rocks at his window.'

"I wanna get the number, not get thrown in jail because his parents heard." deadpanned Kotori.

'Just do something that doesn't involve being a whiny bitch.'

"Hey!" She growled in rage.

'Just prove me wrong.'

Kotori glared at the number before she walked up to the door and knocked.

Silence.

Knock knock.

More silence.

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Great, they must be asleep."

'Knock again.'

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

That was when several loud stomps were heard as the door went wide open. "What?! What do you want?"

"Hey there, are you Draco?"

"Yes, what's it to ya?"

"Well…" she looked at him. "Um...you seem a little shorter than I expected."

The boy scowled with his eye twitching. "That's what everyone thought too, but I don't need to hear that from Yuma's fangirl!"

Kotori reeled back and frowned. "Hey! I am NOT his fangirl!"

"Oh please, you hang around him so much I'm surprised you're not glued to him."

She frowned while crossing her arms. "Then you're a moron and a midget. Look, give me your number before I slap you for implying that I'm an airheaded fangirl."

Draco smirked and crossed his arms. "Number? I don't know what you mean. Oh wait! I do! It's my ace in the hole that's made me stronger than that minnow called Shark. After I found it, I became incredibly strong, so much so I could wipe the floor with anyone."

Kotori yawned while getting bored at his long speech. "Yawn."

"Hey!"

"Sorry, but you were monologuing. And it was...YAWN. Boring."

"Boring? Well at least I know what I'm doing, it's better than a boring girl who wouldn't know how to use a simple magic card. After all, if you're not dueling, then you're not living." he shrugged with a smirk and turned away. "Now if you're done wasting my time, get lost."

KICK!

"GAH!"

And cue a kick to his ass.

"I'm done being nice." She frowned as her eyes glowed. "If you want to be an asshole with a giant mouth, shut up and get ready for a duel. I promise that it will leave you unable to use anything BUT diapers for the rest of your pathetic life midget."

He growled and scowled at her while getting up. "A duel? Me? HA! Since when do you duel?"

"Recently, duh. And to make things interesting, we'll put up our numbers." she smirked. "Unless of course you don't think it's all that."

He frowned at that.

"Also, if you lose I'm going to make sure you never duel again." Kotori said with a sadistic grin. "Or leave your house." 'No one makes fun of me and gets away with it!'

"Tch, show me the number first." he scoffed. "I'm not wasting my time unless I know you've got a real one."

She rolled her eyes. "What a chicken, everyone knows that the best way to learn what's real and what's not is during a duel. What a pathetic lizard, no, a lowly snake."

"That's it! We're dueling! And after we're done, I'll get a number, AND I'll make sure your dumb idol Yuma won't recognize you." he sneered while bringing his duel disk out.

Kotori pulled out her duel disk and made a false smile. "Just stop talking and act like a normal talking lizard. Oh wait, you're a dwarf."

He growled while they put their D-Gazers on. "Let's duel!"

Draco: 8000

Kotori: 8000

"I go first!" he spoke drawing.

Draco's hand: 6

"I'll go first and activate the spell Foolish Burial! Now I can take one card from my deck and send it to the grave, and I'll send my Darkblaze Dragon there!"

A giant hand grabbed a card from the deck and sent it into a gravestone.

'Ok, why would he go and do something like that?'

'To summon a monster no doubt. Just remember, focus, don't blabber your strategies and just utilize your cards right.' Dark Mist instructed.

"Next I'll put one face down card and summon my Luster Dragon!"

A large blue dragon rose up from the ground and breathed fire onto the field.

Luster Dragon- ATK: 1900/DEF: 1600

"Now I end my turn."

Kotori's hand: 6

She looked at her hand before setting four facedown cards. "I summon to the field my Autumn Amazon in attack mode"

A large woman with bones sticking out of her back, a G cup chest and wide ass, and wearing red bark like armor, appeared on the field while holding a black metal sword in one hand.

Autumn Amazon- ATK: 1700/DEF: 2000

"And since she's on the field, she can inflict five hundred points of damage for every monster on the field during the turn she's summoned." Kotori said as the amazon slashed Draco's chest with her sword.

Draco: 7000

"As for your monster." She said while revealing a spell card. "I activate the spell Autumn Twister!"

A large tornado of slime covered the monster as it was sent back into the hand.

"What the?!"

"He he, as you saw, it just flew back to its nest and won't be used until your second main phase." she smirked. "Which means you're wide open. Go Autumn Amazon!"

The woman lunged at Draco who smirked.

"I activate my face down card, Sakuretsu Armor!"

The card rose up and glowed.

"Now your precious amazon is destroyed!"

BOOM.

Kotori just chuckled at this as she raised her hand. "Not for long, go Autumn Resurrection."

A spell with a plant rising up from the sludge glowed and caused the amazon to jump out of a black pool of slime and swing her sword in the air a few times.

"It's like Monster Reborn, but with one difference, you lose three hundred life points when I use this card."

"What?!" he cried before some sludge flew out and hit him in the chest.

Draco: 7200

Kotori chuckled. "I end my turn midget."

Draco's hand: 4

"You'll pay for that. I use Monster Reborn to bring back my Darkblaze Dragon!"

The card rose up as a dark red and black dragon with four wings appeared from the earth.

Darkblaze Dragon- ATK: 1200-2400/DEF: 1000-2000

"Because it was special summoned from the grave, his points double!" he smirked. "Next, I'll summon Luster Dragon back to the field!"

The dragon flew across the field before landing on Draco's side of the field.

"Next, I'll use the spell card Giant Trunade!"

The card rose up and caused a wind storm to appear.

"Now every magic and trap cards on the field go back to the hand!"

The last two cards went back to the hand while Kotori just sighed.

"Yeah yeah, just summon your number before I fall asleep from all your talking. You're not as bad as Yuma but by god, you're boring!"

"Hey! Don't rush me bitch!" he growled. "You're just mad I'm the one about to show you what my number can do and you can't use any traps!"

"No." She deadpanned. "I'm bored at looking at your immature face, and I'm not a bitch, that's your mother's job." 'Is that right?'

'Yes, you're right on the dot.'

"SHUT UP!" he snapped. "I activate the spell card Dragon's Nest! With it I can pick a level four or lower level monster on my field and summon as many copies of it as I can from my deck, which means I'll summon two more Luster Dragons!"

Said dragons appeared while Kotori started to yawn a little, which was all because of the boy's voice, unlike Yuma and his energetic tone, Draco was...boring as fuck.

'Why did it have to be him?' Kotori thought with a yawn. 'Just why the boring brat? Why couldn't it be someone like Yuma?'

'Quit complaining, you're getting on my nerves.' remarked Dark Mist.

"Now I'm going to construct the overlay network and exceed summon using my three Luster Dragons!" grinned Draco as the lights flew into the vortex with a glowing number of 57 appearing on his body. "Come on out Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon!"

A purple galaxy appeared on the field before an orange and gold ball appeared and started sucking in the dust from the area as it took the form of a three headed dragon with no eyes.

Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon- ATK: 100/DEF: 2600

"Now his effect activates! I can pick one monster on your side of the field and my number gains attack points equal to the total attack points, and considering you have only one, my dragon gains 1700 attack points!"

Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon- ATK: 100-1800/DEF: 2600

"Now go and destroy that amazon!"

The dragon took a deep breath before sending a tornado of dust at the woman, causing her to explode.

Kotori: 7900

"And now Darkblaze attacks you directly!"

The dragon flew at Kotori before she chuckled in her head and let the dragon blast her with fire.

Kotori: 5500

"And now I'll end my turn."

Kotori's hand: 4

She sighed. "That was so pathetic, using a number to draw a weak attack. Really, so pathetic."

"Like you could do better."

Kotori smirked. "I plan to, but first, I summon Autumn Slime in attack mode."

A large black blob with giant teeth and red eyes appeared on the field.

Autumn Slime- ATK: 800/DEF: 300

"When he pops up, your life points go down by eight hundred, and when it's successful I can summon another Autumn Slime, and when I have at least three on the field, I can get about eight hundred life points back for each Autumn Slime on my side of the field." Kotori chuckled. "And that's how you use a card right."

He growled before the slime hurled sludge at his face.

Draco: 6400

That was when another slime appeared and did the same thing.

Draco: 5600

And to add insult to injury, another slime appeared on the field and chomped on his leg.

Draco: 4800

Kotori chuckled while the sludge covered her body like a blanket.

Kotori: 7900

"Much better." She smirked as the number 96 appeared over her right eye. "Oh and I overlay my slimes to summon my number. So come forth from darkness! Number 96: Dark Mist!"

The monsters dove into the vortex before a ball of black slime rose up and grew before it started to form large claws, long limbs with slimy ends, a tail with a matching end, with two glowing red and yellow eyes on the torso with a large mouth that had razor sharp teeth with a headpiece on the top of it.

Number 96: Dark Mist- ATK: 100/DEF: 1000

"Ha! That's your number?" laughed Draco. "What good is that gonna do with that many attack points?"

"Huh? Oh no, you're right!" she fake gasped. "I completely forgot how strong your monsters were. I messed up!" she fake panicked while he laughed with Dark Mist smirking.

'Foolish human.'

"How pathetic."

"Oh whatever should I do?" She faked cried. "Oh wait, I will attack the four winged dragon, it might win though...oh well. My loss then."

"Ahahaha! You wanna fight Darkblaze? Go ahead, destroy yourself, it saves me time." laughed Draco as Darkblaze's mouth lit up with flames with Kotori smirking.

"Oh wait! I forgot to mention Dark Mist's ability. By giving up one overlay unit, he's allowed to sap away half the attack points of one monster and add it to his own, and I pick your dragon!"

A glowing purple star entered the number before it used its tail to puncture the dragon, absorbing its life blood as the dragon started to look older.

Number 96: Dark Mist- ATK: 1300/DEF: 1000

Darkblaze Dragon- ATK: 1200/DEF: 2000

"Now go Dark Mist and destroy his monster!"

The number grabbed the dragon before consuming it in one gulp.

Draco: 3500

"Guess you didn't see that coming, huh?" Kotori smirked. "If you did, you would pee your pants like the sissy you are."

Draco growled and clenched his hand. "Just end your turn!"

"Mmm. No." She said before activating a spell card. "I activate Autumn Advance. When I finish a battle phase with only one monster and it's a XYZ monster, it can attack again for as many overlay units it had during the turn it's summoned. So three times I can attack you and only one times I can destroy that stupid dust dragon's attack points."

A purple slime covered the number while it glowed a dark obsidian hue.

"What?!"

"Yup, so say goodbye to half your monster's attack points."

The number grabbed the dragon by the third head before absorbing its life energy.

Number 96: Dark Mist- ATK: 2200/DEF: 1000

Number 57: Tri-Head Dust Dragon- ATK: 900/DEF: 2600

The number then grabbed the dragon's core and shattered it with its right claw.

Draco: 2200

"No! My number!" he cried out in horror and shock.

"Say goodbye to it forever, because with his third attack, Dark Mist attacks you directly!"

The monster loomed over the human before squashing him with its palm.

Draco: 0

He cried out in pain while Kotori's prediction came true and he wet and shit himself in fear and horror at his first ever loss.

"And now your number is mine."

Dark Mist grabbed the number from the deck before consuming it and vanished from the field, its corporal body slowly obtaining more color and form with two dark blue dots appearing over the eyes. 'Power...I need more power!'

"Calm down, you'll get it." smirked Kotori. "But first, we need to find more people with numbers."

'You read my mind.' He said while Kotori walked away, leaving the boy to wallow in his own bodily waste.

'Momma…' Drago thought while his mind went into infant mode. 'Mama…'

(Some time later)

"Ahhhh!" screamed a man flying back into a wall and groaned in pain as a black tendril went into him and sucked up the number he had.

'He he. More more.' The number smirked. 'I need more numbers! I need more form! I need more power!'

"No, you need to calm down." yawned Kotori. "It's getting late and I'm running out of steam."

'Well I can't sleep, so sue me!'

Kotori sighed. "Look, just calm down and let's go home. There will be other times to get numbers."

Dark Mist frowned at that. 'What am I to do while you waste time?'

"I don't know, what you usually do when I sleep."

'Plot.'

"...that's it?"

'And more plotting.'

"..." she sighed. "Look, what if I suggest you try something else?"

'Oh please, like you could do something like that.'

"Maybe you could go through my memories, like TV, that way you can understand me before you showed up."

'...and?'

"Just relax."

'...fine.'

"Good, now let's get home." Kotori said while walking away.

'I won't like it.' The number muttered. 'Hopefully it proves to be amusing.'

(Some time later)

Kotori laid in her bed sleeping while Dark Mist was in her mind and floating aimlessly through it.

"This is boring." He grumbled. "Nothing but endless doors." he looked around and felt annoyed. "What good will watching her past memories do? It doesn't matter how much I know about her life, as soon as she's out served her purpose, I won't need her anymore."

As he looked around, he noticed a giant pink door with the name 'Yuma' on it with hearts all around it.

"...She's a perverted human with no shame." he scoffed. "Far before I happened to find her that's for sure. Humans and their disgusting ways of showing affection never ceases to make me want to gather all the numbers and rule with their power."

However before he could float away, the door suddenly opened up and a pair of pink tentacles grabbed the being as it dragged him inside. He yelled and saw the door shut and growl before trying to will it open while cutting the tentacles off.

Only to see a giant room of mirrors with floating pink hearts and tentacles going on for miles upon miles.

"I will not see what goes on in this part of her mind, I'm leaving." He said before noticing the door was gone. "...what?!"

That was when the mirrors shifted and turned around as it became a giant maze.

Dark Mist growled before forming black tendrils from his hand and shot them out which shattered several of them. "I will NOT be forced to walk through some maze like a rat."

That was when the mirrors reformed themselves and became brand new.

"..." he felt his eye twitch before shattering them again.

But that resulted in the same action as the mirrors kept on forming all around the number.

"Her mind is strong here, but my power is greater. I'll shatter this part of her mind if it means getting out of here." He growled before noticing that the floor had pink slime and it was consuming his legs. He growled and used the tendrils to push it off and floated upward. "Get away!"

However that was when chains with pink fur appeared from the sky and covered him up like a mummy as he fell into the slime and got sucked in.

"No! Get away!" He yelled before vanishing into the slime and appeared in a room covered in tv screens and strange needles with a pink substance in them as he was trapped in a very tight straight jacket. He growled and struggled while feeling riled up. "Let me out of this accursed mind! I am not so weak as to be kept bound in a simple human's mind!"

The tv's turned on while showing various girly imagery and a lot of pornos as the needles moved closer to the number and injected him with the liquid.

"Ah!" he cried out struggling and growling while more tendrils lashed out and smashed some of the tvs. "RELEASE ME HUMAN! I KNOW THIS IS YOUR DOING!"

That was when more needles injected liquid into him while the number started to feel stiff and unable to move anything, not even his eyes.

'How can this be?! I should hold more dominion over this mind then her! I'm the one who gave her the power!' He thought before the tv's started sending a hypnotic message into his head that seemed to want him to submit to the power of humans and to become a woman, all the while the needles kept on injecting the liquid into the number.

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

'No! I will never submit to lower creatures like them!'

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman." The message said while Dark Mist's mind started to deteriorate at a rapid rate. "Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

'No! I am Dark Mist! I will collect ALL the numbers!'

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman." It kept saying as Dark Mist slowly lost his will and became inert to the world itself. "Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

He groaned as his mind became nothing more than ooze. 'I am...Dark...Mist…'

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

'I...am...a...woman…'

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman." The tv's said while the number slowly gained the mind of a woman as the body started to feel some strange effects from the liquid. "Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

'I'm...a…woman.' The number groaned while the hair got longer and went down to the legs, a giant J cup chest formed, a giant ass appeared from the rear, and the waist became smaller and curvy in nature. 'I am...a woman…'

"Submit to humans. Become a woman. Submit to humans. Become a woman."

'I am...a woman…' She thought while her powers fused with Kotori's mind and slowly became a part of her.

(Next morning)

Kotori yawned while slowly getting up. She felt perked up and smiled while going to the bathroom. 'I don't know what it is, but I'm in a really good mood.'

As she looked at the mirror, she started to brush her teeth and thought about Yuma.

'Mmmm...should I hug him or kiss him when I meet him?' She thought with a smile. 'I wanna get a nice reaction out of him and something to think about until schools over.'

That was when she realized that she was actually late.

'...SHIT!' She ran out of the bathroom, still in her pajamas, and out the front door.

"Kotori! You need real clothes on!" called out her mom.

"Ah!" She ran back inside and got changed. "Sorry!"

(At school)

"Did you hear about Draco?"

"Yeah, and it's weird."

"Agreed, plus he's a giant manbaby now...and still goes to school."

"Yeah...that's gross, plus I have a class with him."

"I pity you."

"Yuma, what are they talking about?" Astral asked.

"No idea." Yuma shrugged. "But maybe that guy is a baby."

"I do not see the logic."

"You know, wearing diapers and frilly clothes."

"...humans are very strange animals."

"Says you, you're floating around without any clothes."

"Observation, you have hair that defies the laws of gravity."

"Hey!"

"Yuma!" Kotori called out before kissing him on the lips. "Morning."

He blushed and looked at the girl and glanced away. "M-Morning T-Kotori."

"Huh? No kiss?" She pouted. "But I kissed you, it's only fair to do that to your girlfriend."

"W-Well yeah I know that! It's just...uh...you know."

"No I don't."

He gulped. "Do I have to?"

"Of course. Why? Are you shy about someone saying something?"

"W-What? No!"

"Then kiss me on the lips." She huffed while crossing her hands.

Yuma turned bright red at this point as the students started to look at him. He gulped and steeled himself before taking a deep breath and quickly pressed his lips against hers and pulled back. "See? No problem."

"...it lacked passion." She said before grabbing Yuma and tipped him down before kissing him passionately on the lips.

His eyes widened while the class was stunned as Kotori held his cheeks and didn't let go of his cheeks.

She then moved back and smiled as some drool connected their mouths for a second. "That's how to kiss Yuma. Remember that when we have our anniversary." 'His spit tastes so good~!'

"A...A…A…." he let out speechless with Tetso and everyone else dropping their jaws.

Kotori smiled before walking away. "Later Yuma~"

"A...A...A…"

"Yuma, does this not confirm you and Kotori are going to be married?"

And cue his mind exploding as he fainted on the ground and his spirit actually started to fly into the heavens.

"I see the light...and it's pretty…"

"Yuma?" Astral said as the soul started entering a heavenly gateway.

"Mom...I'm coming home…"

"Hey Yuma!" called Tetsuo slapping Yuma which made the spirit reel back with Yuma waking up.

"Uh? What's going on...where's mom?" He asked while looking around. "At the white gates."

"You just passed out." he remarked shaking his head. "Seriously, that's what you do after you and Kotori swap spit? I figured you'd be jumping up and talking non stop about actually getting a girl."

"...what?!" He blushed while fainting again.

Tetsuo facepalmed and groan. "Just my luck, now I gotta keep this guy away on my own."

"Ugh…" Yuma groaned while his soul started to enter heaven again. "Mom...I'm coming..."

(Much later on)

"What?! Yuma and Kotori are dating?!" cried out Tokunosuke with shock while Takashi went slack jawed.

"W-What…?" Takashi muttered while very surprised and in disbelief, especially since he thought that Cathy would do it first, not Kotori.

"I guarantee it, I saw them making out with my own eyes, and I'm wishing I didn't." spoke Tetso rubbing his nose.

"..." Takashi looked at him before giving him some money. "Looks like you won that bet...ugh."

He took the money while Tokunosuke facepalmed. "Um...thanks?"

"Dang it! I was so sure it would be Cathy!" groaned Tokunosuke.

"Same."

"I mean." Tokunosuke grumbled. "He looked like a cat person, not a bird person."

Both boys deadpanned at the name puns.

"But wait, why would she suddenly want to date him now of all times? She never gave the impression earlier, and I would have noticed signs."

"Maybe she's shy about it?" Tetsuo suggested. "I mean I did meet them when we were kids and they sure seemed close, even when Yuma got his ass kicked by my monsters."

"True." Takashi muttered. "It could be her finally breaking out of her shell." he crossed his arms and looked up. "As long as they don't do anything obscene around school, then this could be a great way for Yuma to calm down and tone back on all the yelling."

"Or he might take advantage of this." Tokunosuke pointed out. "He is still a guy after all, no matter how loud and dense he is."

"One things for sure, it ain't gonna be pretty when Cathy finds out." spoke Tetsuo with the two boys nodding before they heard a loud hiss from the hallway followed by a crash.

"Oh no." Takashi sweatdropped. "She found out."

"Hopefully she doesn't scratch anyone in the face."

"But what's with the crash?"

All three headed out and saw Cathy chasing after Kotori with the girl not seeming scared at all.

"Get back here!"

"Ha." Kotori laughed. "Like you could catch me pussy cat."

"Oh you're dead now!"

"Go chase a rat!"

"Fuck you! HISSS!"

"Maybe you need a saucer of milk!"

"Go fly away birdface!"

Both ran around the area, destroying lockers and crashing into students left and right.

"So, anyone up for another bet?" smirked Tokunosuke adjusting his glasses. "My money's on Cathy."

"My money's on Kotori."

"Cathy."

"I'll shred your face to bits!"

"Like you could fat cat."

"I'M NOT FAT!"

"You could fool me fat cat."

"HISSSSS!"

(Later)

Kotori smiled while walking home from school, with Cathy in a very pouty mood.

"I hate you." She said in a very bad mood.

"I love you too." Kotori smirked. "But I got him first so here's a suggestion, be his cat instead of his girlfriend. You fit the pet animal girl role so well."

"So you want me to just roll over and give up?"

"Let me think…mmmm...yes." She grinned evilly.

"Then I'm not giving up! Yuma is my future boyfriend!"

"And I'm his girlfriend. Although you could be his concubine, it might work...although the harem outfit might be tight on your fat cat body."

"I'm not fat! I'm skinnier than you are miss chubby cheeks!"

"I'm skinnier than you, and I don't have a flat chest."

"We BOTH have flat chests!"

"Well unlike you, I'm gonna grow much faster with milk."

She growled before pushing her with her chest. "At least I'm a B cup! You're an A cup at most!"

"And you're gonna stay that way while I shoot up C or D when I hit puberty!"

"No, I'm going to have a G or I cup chest!" Cathy glared. "And I challenge you to a breast expansion contest! The first one that gets a bigger chest by the graduation will have Yuma as a boyfriend AND husband!"

"Mmmmm, nope." spoke Kotori moving away quickly and suddenly making Cathy yelp and fall down to the floor. "Because I know, without big breasts or not, Yuma is MINE."

"No he's mine!" She glared.

"No."

"He's mine!"

"Keep deluding yourself." smirked Kotori before walking off with a chuckle. 'With more and more number cards, I could wipe her off this city without breaking a sweat.' She then blinked. 'Wait, she's still Yuma's friend, if I did that he might worry or worse, become depressed...I'll keep her around, but one wrong step and she's history.'

'I'll get that birdbrain for that.' Cathy thought in anger. 'This I swear.'

'Hey Dark Mist, are you gonna try and demand I find you more numbers? School's done for the day.'

Silence.

'Dark Mist?'

Silence.

'Hello?'

Silence.

"Ok, that's weird. Usually you're bugging me right now to 'get you more numbers!'."

Silence.

"Dark Mist!"

Silence.

Kotori frowned at this. "Fine, you wanna give me the silent treatment, that's fine by me."

That was when a figure appeared in front of her, and looked at with a smile. 'Hello hotty~ Want to get numbers and watch pornos?'

"Wha!" Kotori jumped and blinked in surprise before looking them over. "Uh...what?"

Said figure looked like Dark Mist, but had pink eyes, a gigantic ass and a J cup chest, long hair with pink highlights and looked very curvy. 'So want to watch pornos or get numbers to make me sexier~?'

"Ah...ah...i...is that you Dark Mist!?"

'Who? I'm Mista, sexy woman with jugs of steel~'

"You can't fool me, I know it's you Dark Mist! What happened to you!?"

'He he he~ Mista wants to get bigger, have sex and get laid by that hunk Yuma~'

'What the fuck?!'

'He he~'

Kotori was flabbergasted before blushing and glared. "What do you mean get laid by Yuma?"

'Fucking with him~ He he~' she giggled. 'And getting creampies~'

"On no! No no no no no! The only one doing that with Yuma is ME! Second of all, what happened?! Why are you a woman? Why are you talking and acting like that?!"

The number giggled before flying away. 'Yuma~ Time to have some pussy~'

"Get back here!" Kotori yelled while running after the number.

(With Yuma)

"Achoo." Astral sniffled while looking a little paler than normal. "Achoo!"

"What's with you Astral?"

"Achoo! I do not know." He sneezed. "But perhaps a side effect from being near humans?"

"What, you mean you're getting a cold?"

"ACHOO!" Astral sneezed again. "Positive."

Yuma raised an eyebrow at Astral. "Somehow I doubt that, even if it doesn't make any sense."

"ACHOO!"

And cue Yuma getting covered in blue ectoplasm.

"Sniff."

"Ew!" he cried out with disgust. "How can you even sneeze this stuff and still not be able to touch anything!"

"I..I...ACHOO!"

SPLAT!

"Sniff...do not know."

Yuma shivered and ran to the bathroom. "I need a shower!"

"ACHOO!"

And cue Yuma getting hit by ectoplasm again.

"EW!"

(Later on)

"Are you done sneezing out there?!"

"I think-ACHOO!"

And cue ectoplasm hitting the walks as his entire room was covered in blue slime.

"No-ACHOO!"

Yuma groaned while leaning against the bathroom door. "Well tell me soon, I don't wanna step out there and get dirty again."

"ACHOO!"

As Yuma tried to wash his body, he didn't notice Kotori climbing after Mista and got inside the bathroom, which was covered in steam.

'Yuma~ Time for a titfuck~'

"Huh?" He blinked and turned, only to jump when he saw Mista and went wide eyed. "Hey! Who are you?!"

'Fuck time~' She grinned before Kotori ran towards the number.

"Stop that…OH MY!" She saw Yuma's naked body and gained a massive nosebleed. 'S-So big!'

"TORI!?" he cried out before covering his groin and turned red. "W-W-W-What are you doing in my bathroom!?"

She didn't answer back before moving towards him and rubbed the cock as if in a trance. 'Must...rub...it…'

"HEY!" he cried out jumping back. "D-Don't touch it!"

"He he he."

'Give the cock to me~ I want creampies~' Mista licked her lips. 'And babies~'

Yuma turned bright red while getting jumped by Kotori.

(One hour of 'showering' later)

"Yuma, are you almost done? I believe I have finished sneezing." Astral said before sneezing a little. "Sniff...nevermind."

Silence.

"Yuma?"

More silence.

"Yuma?"

Silence.

"Yuma? Did you expire?"

Silence.

"Something's wrong." He said before floating through the door and saw Yuma, panting on the ground while the area was covered in a white like substance. "Yuma, what's wrong?"

"Ah...ah...ah…" he groaned in pain. "So...many...boobs…"

Astral raised an eyebrow. "Boobs?"

"Boobs…" He said before passing out.

Astral was utterly lost. 'What happened here exactly?'

(With Kotori)

"That was...amazing!" She grinned while her womb was full of sperm. "And so hot!"

'Told you~'

"I didn't ever imagine my first time would be in the bathroom, but I'm glad it was."

'Want to do it again?'

"Yes."

'Good, but I'm on top next time girlfriend~'

Kotori sighed with a perverted grin as they walked back home. "He he, wait no! He's mine! Not yours!"

'Yet that threesome was perfect~'

"Well you never answered my question. HOW. Did. You. End up. Like that?"

'No clue.' She said. 'But I'm so horny and hungry! Let's eat some numbers and make by tits and ass bigger~'

Kotori raised an eyebrow and stopped walking.

'What? Your hips still tired from all that sausage in your pussy~?' Mista asked.

"No, but I do wanna make some things clear."

'Like?'

"If you wanna have another go at Yuma, you have to ask me first."

'Ok~' she giggled. 'That I can do partner~'

"Second, you don't make demands of me to find more numbers. We find them when I say we do."

'Ok~'

'Why is she so easy to agree with?' she raised an eyebrow. "And third, you don't ever try to possess my body to do whatever you want, got it?"

'Ok~ But can I possess you when you get older and sexier? So that I can grope your boobies~?'

Kotori facepalmed very hard. "No!"

'Oh, ok~' she giggled with a wink.

'Ugh, she's more annoying than her old form!' she shook her head. "Let's just head out and try to find more numbers."

'Ok~ He he he~'
