Coral: I honestly have nothing to say, except that there's less Entertainment in this chapter. After all, this chapter, rather this episode, is that chapter. And I may... Okay I will be skipping Episode 8, since it basically is the same day as Episode 7, of what I can figure. So you can say that I may have mushed the two episodes together, though there isn't much of Episode 8 in this. In any case, ENJOY~!

Aki: Can you not shout that every time you want to say 'enjoy'?

Coral: But this is suppose to be a humor genre and my OC is one that likes to enjoy and be enjoyed~!.

Aki: I'm beginning to wonder why I'm trying to reason with you with this story now.

Coral: Heheh~

It was a nice day on the island. The sun is rising, the air is fresh as ever, just another good day. That is, unless if you include an army truck coming to the Osiris dorm.

As the truck stopped at the front, a lot of soldiers came out and made their way to the second floor. Them walking up the stairs was loud enough to wake up Daitokuji.

"Who is it-nya?" he asked, opening his door. "For crying out loud, don't break the corridor or the floor will cave in... nya?" He saw and realized who were making so much noise. "T-T-The Academia Ethics Board, fearful enough to quell a crying child? Why are the people that'll undoubtedly expel you if they're rubbed the wrong way here at our dorm?!"

Meanwhile, in Judai's room, he, Shou and Hayato were sleeping so sounding, loud enough to not hear the commotion. In Kohaku's room, on the other hand, she was a morning person, always being able to wake up the second the sun rises, and heard footsteps coming towards her door.

"Who could that be at this time?" she wondered. Curiosity took over her as she opened the door, just as a woman older and taller than her was about to knock. "Can I help you?"

"Fiore Kohaku, right?" the woman asked, ignoring the question.

"Yes."

"You're coming with us, along with Yuki Judai and Marufuji Shou."

Shrugging off all the questions that popped out of her head, Kohaku obliged to her request.


*LATER*

"EHHH?! Expelled?!" the two male Osiris repeated in a questioned tone.

"Why? What for?!" Kohaku demanded.

"Eariler today, Yuki Judai and two other accomplices broke into the special dormitory, which is closed-off and was made off-limits, and wreaked hovac inside," the woman from before explained. "The investigation has commenced!"

"We'll do anything you say, just give us a chance!" Judai pleaded.

"Well then, I propose another way to penalize you three," Chronos spoke. "And that would be a Punishment Duel and a Punishment Tag Duel."

"Punishment Duel?" Kohaku repeated the first half.

"And Punishment Tag Duel?" Judai repeated the second half.

"Precisely. Yuki Judai and Marufuji Shou, you two will form a tag team to duel- no ne. Fiore Kohaku, on the other hand, you will be dueling on your own- no ne. Should you win your duels, you will then be cleared of all charges- na no ne."

"Tag duel, huh? Sounds interesting," the 'Elemental Hero' duelist smirked.

"Huh? This is bad, Big Bro!" Shou told him.

"Principal, it seems that even he himself is satisfied with the idea."

"It seems we have no choice," the headmaster said.

"Should you lose, you will be expelled immediately! The opponents you will face in your duel will be made in public by me at a later time- no ne."

"Wait just one second," Kohaku spoke.

"Is there a problem?" the headmaster asked.

"Before just jumping into conclusion about us being in the dorm, shouldn't you ask us why we were there in the first place?"

"What's there to explain? All that matters is that you three broke the rule!" the woman exclaimed.

"Except we had a reason for being there!" Kohaku, for once in her life, outside of duel, raised her voice. "Some weird guy-!"

"I believe I said no excuse!"

"Can't you at least-?!"

"Whoa, whoa, calm down, Kohaku!" Judai tried to calm her.

"This isn't like you at all, Kohaku!" Shou supported.

Some time later, after calming Kohaku down, the three Osiris returned to their dorm, working on their decks for their upcoming duel in their room. Well, two out of three are. Hayato, who went out to convince the Principal to put him in the Tag Duel with Judai, walked into their room.

"I can't do this! I'll lose and get expelled for sure! Hayato-kun! Please take my place!" Shou begged the koala-face duelist.

"I was thinking the same thing, but anything decided by the Inquiry Board can't be changed," Hayato apologized.

"Don't sweat it. We just need to win, right? Just win," Judai told him.

"Big Bro, you say that like it's nothing, but have you ever played a Tag Duel before?"

"Nope. It'll be fun because I never had it."

"Y-You're nuts!"

"If you're really my little bro, then you'll suck it up and do the best you can." Shou was silent at his words. "I still don't know a darn thing about the make-up of your deck. Let's have a duel and test our skills." With that, they went out to do a practice duel.

Meanwhile, with Kohaku, she's lying on her bed, looking at her deck. "How did we get in this situation?" she asked.

"Well, you were right about not going," Time Space Magician said, appearing next to her. "They just didn't listen and convinced you into going."

"Yeah. Now that I think about it, if the dorm was off-limits, they could've just take it down instead of leaving it abandoned. Of course someone with a high sense of adventure would want to go in."

"True."

Silence engulfed the room. It was broken by the sound of a growl.

"Well, I didn't get anything to eat. Might as well have some early brunch," Kohaku said. With that in mind, she got out of bed and walked out of her room.

"While you're at it, you should find someone to duel with. Might improve your skill."

"Yeah, yeah." As she walked away from her dorm, she looked up at the sky, wondering who her opponent should be. Sure there are plenty of Obelisk Blues who want to take her down, but none of them lasted long enough, at least, of the amount that she dueled.

"Then again, is there anyone who wants to duel me?" she wondered out loud.

"What about Asuka?" Time Space Magician suggested.

"Now that you mentioned it, I haven't dueled her yet. Okay! After getting some food in my stomach, I'll find Asuka and duel her!"

Some time later, Kohaku finished brunch and looked for Asuka.

"I looked in the lunchroom, the lighthouse, the classrooms, the girls' bathroom, even the girls' locker room, and there's no sign of her," Kohaku grumbled.

"There's still one other place you haven't checked," Time Space Magician said.

"And that is?"

"The Obelisk Blue female dorm."

"I already got more than enough trouble going into the girls' bathroom and the girls' locker room. And I'm a girl too!"

"Well, you look like a boy to other people. Perhaps you should've worn the female uniform, then this wouldn't have happened."

"You should know by now that I'm more comfortable in guys' clothes than I am with girls'."

"Then let your hair grow out."

"It would get all over my face while I so my dueling style."

"Why are you talking to yourself?" came a different voice.

"I'm talking to-" Kohaku stopped her answer short as she realized someone else was speaking to her. In fact that someone was- "Asuka! When did you get here?!"

"Since you began talking about getting into enough trouble going into girls-only places," the blonde Obelisk answered.

"Ah hahaha... You wouldn't believe me if I tell you why I was 'talking to myself'."

"Ever since you came here, I decided to stop believing half the things you say anyway. But that doesn't mean that I won't listen." Kohaku smiled at those words. "So, apparently, I also heard my friends saying that you were looking for me."

"Oh yeah. Want to duel?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Well, since I'm going to do that Punishment Duel, might as well make some improvements with my style. So, want to be my Training Partner?"

"... Sure thing. I wanted to duel you anyway," she accepted.

They got to a Duel Field that was 'supposedly' belong to Obelisks and got ready to duel.

"Duel!"

Asuka: 4000 LP
Kohaku: 4000 LP

"I'll take the first move. Draw." Asuka drew her next card. "From my hand, I activate Fusion! I fuse Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to Fusion Summon Cyber Blader!" Two female warrior, one red and blue with long orange hair and ribbons around her arms and one in two different shades of purple, fused together to make a female warrior in red and blue with long dark blue hair.

Cyber Blader: Level 7/EARTH/Warrior/2100 ATK/1800 DEF

"Huh? That's it?" Kohaku asked, not impressed with the Fusion Summon.

"'That's it'? What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Don't let it get to you."

A bit bothered by the female Osiris' words, Asuka continued her turn. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."

"My turn. Draw." Kohaku drew her sixth card. "Let's start this show! I'll start off with the Continuous Magic, Fast Preparation! Once per turn, if I control no monsters, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Circus Freak' monster from my hand! Everyone, please welcome, the performer who is master of object manipulation~! Circus Freak Contact Juggler!" The monkey-man monster appeared on the Osiris' field in Defense.

Circus Freak Contact Juggler: Level 4/DARK/Spellcaster/0 ATK/2000 DEF

"And he won't be alone! I summon Circus Freak Stilt Walker!" A small clown on stilts came next to the monkey in Attack.

Circus Freak Stilt Walker: Level 2/DARK/Spellcaster/800 ATK/1600 DEF

"Because you have two monsters on the field, Cyber Blader's special ability activates. While there are two monsters on my opponent's field, her ATK points are doubled!" Asuka's Fusion Monster got bigger as its power increased.

Cyber Blader: 2100 x 2 = 4200 ATK

"I set one card face-down and end my turn," Kohaku finished.

"My turn. Draw."

'With how the field is, if I recall, both those monsters have the ability to negate an attack, so it's impossible for me to get to her Life Points,' Asuka thought. 'With Cyber Tutu in my hand, it's possible making a direct attack, however, both of Kohaku's monsters have ATK lower than her's. If you are able to start a field like that, Kohaku, your upcoming opponent won't be able to get your Life Points for two turns at most. However...'

"I summon Cyber Tutu!" A young ballerina appeared next to Asuka's Cyber Blader.

Cyber Tutu: Level 3/EARTH/Warrior/1000 ATK/800 DEF

"Battle! Cyber Blader attacks Circus Freak Contact Juggler!"

"I activate Contact Juggler's special ability! Once per turn, when he's targeted for an attack, I send one card from my deck to my Graveyard and negate that attack," Kohaku defended.

"I had a feeling you would do that," Asuka said in response. "Counter Trap activate! Pure Pupil! When my opponent activates a monster's special ability while I control a monster with 1000 or less ATK, that ability is negated and the monster is destroyed!"

"What?!" the 'Circus Freak' duelist gasped, as Cyber Tutu tied Contact Jugglers arms behind him, preventing him from redirecting the upcoming attack and did the suplex on him, destroying him.

"And since he's gone, I'll have Cyber Blader attack Stilt Walker instead! And because you only have one monster, Cyber Blader's ATK reverts back to normal!"

Cyber Blader: 4200 / 2 = 2100 ATK

"Glissade Slash!" Said monster changed her attack target to the remaining 'Circus Freak' monster.

"I activate Stilt Walker's special ability! When targeted for an attack while in Attack Position, I can change him to Defense Position and negate the attack! Stilt Evasion!" Kohaku's monster got off its stilts, just managed to avoid getting destroyed, and got on the defense.

"From my hand, I activate the Instant Magic, Prima Light. This sends Cyber Tutu to my Graveyard and allows me to Special Summon 'Cyber Prima' form my hand." In place of the young female monster is an older white ballerina.

Cyber Prima: Level 6/LIGHT/Warrior/2300 ATK/1600 DEF

"Cyber Prima attacks Stilt Walker! The Ending Reverence!" Asuka's new monster charged at Stilt Walker, destroying it. "I end my turn."

"My turn. Draw." Kohaku drew her next card. "Asuka, you really are strong. Even though you didn't decrease my Life Points, you're strong."

"Thanks for the compliment, but I hope you realize that compliments won't get you anywhere."

"Of course I know that. I summon Circus Freak Puppeteer!" The puppet-like clown appeared on Kohaku's field.

Circus Freak Puppeteer: Level 4/DARK/Spellcaster/1900 ATK/0 DEF

"Next I activate Puppeteer's special ability! When he's summoned, I can target one monster my opponent controls and take control over it! I will take control over... You, Cyber Blader! Puppet Controller!" Strings from Puppeteer's fingertips made their way over to Asuka's Fusion monster, taking control over it.

"What?!" the original owner of the Fusion monster gasped at the sight of her monster being taken.

"Next is the Continuous Trap, Trick-in-a-Box! With this card's effect, I will target one monster my opponent controls and one 'Circus Freak' monster I control. Control over those two targets, are swapped! You only have Cyber Prima on your field. And the only 'Circus Freak' monster I have on my field is Puppeteer, therefore control over these monsters are swapped!" Two boxes appeared and trapped the two designated monsters. They glowed for a few seconds. After the glow died down, the two boxes opened, revealing that the monsters swapped places.

"Battle! Cyber Blader attacks Puppeteer! Glissade Slash!" Asuka's monster attacked Kohaku's monster, as well as dealing damage to her original controller.

Asuka: 3800 LP
Kohaku: 4000 LP

"Next is Trick-in-a-Box's second effect! If the monster affected by this card is destroyed, that monster returns to its original owner's field instead of going to the Graveyard!" From the sky, a speck of light was seen and coming down was the laughing puppet, using its strings as bungee-cords. It stopped just inches away from having its face meet the floor. "Now I attack you with Cyber Prima! The Ending Reverence!" Asuka's second monster also made her attack on the duelist.

Asuka: 1500 LP
Kohaku: 4000 LP

"This is the end! Circus Freak Puppeteer attacks you directly! Whipping Strings!" The sole performer used its strings as whips, ending the duel.

Asuka: 0 LP
Kohaku: 4000 LP

WINNER: KOHAKU!

"That was some duel. If I had known that you have those kind of cards, I would've set something to protect myself," Asuka said.

"I'm full of surprises. I'm an entertainer after all. Can't show everything to my opponent, even if they are my friend," Kohaku cheerfully said. "Well, I suppose that takes care of one thing now..."

"One thing?"

"The other thing that I want to take care of is how I'm going to reveal to everyone that I'm really a girl? As much as I want to tell them my true gender, I doubt anyone would believe me."

They both were in deep thought at the problem. Kohaku looks too much like a boy after all, and she doesn't like to have her hair long or wear girls' clothes. Although...

"By any chance, do you have any of those circus costumes?" Asuka asked.

"Why?" It didn't take long for the female Osiris to know that the female Obelisk was thinking. "Ooooh... I see... Yeah, that might work. Just remind me. I'm forgetful about things that concerns my gender."

"Got it. By the way, you now owe me two favors."

"Okay~."
