(Suddenly the doors burst open.)

Fable: "Someone is disappointed!"

Quill: "Oh, hi Fable! You're finally here!"

Pencil: "It took nearly a month of constant searching, but I finally found her-"

Brush: "Fable came out of hiding on her own and ran all the way here."

Pencil: "She surrender is what happen."

Brush: "Umm...s-sure, sis."

(Fable runs ups to Ulrich362.)

Fable: "I am so sorry! One of the ideas I had for the Appleshipping story was to have Rin fight against Ray's influence, but I thought that it wouldn't fit since I was basing the event off of what happen to Yuya when the parasite tried to control him. Now looking back on it, the story has very little to do with Appleshipping since it's mostly between Ray and Yugo. It was never my intention to make Rin seem so...heartless."

Angel: "Yeah. When I said something like that should have happen in the anime, I was talking more about having Ray do something instead of just being a plot device for the last few episodes. But, regardless of how I feel, this wasn't a Ray chapter. This was suppose to be about Rin and Yugo. My bad. If you like, we can try and fix it."

Fable: "Now that I'm look back on these chapters, Apple and Apparition were pretty sad. But don't worry! Artemis and Asrai will bring better feelings."

Angel: "No problem. Working on this collection with Fable really makes you more knowledgeable on shippings and shipping names. Speaking of Fable, she's finally here!"

Fable: "Oh! Hi, Nova. It's been way too long."

(Fable says with a smile, shaking her hand.)

Pen: "Fable, where are you been?"

Fable: "Oh, just working on some things..."

Brush: "In an underground cave system?"

Pencil: "That I nearly spend a month in LOOKING FOR YOU!"

Fable: "Heh, I promise...I have a really good reason..."

Yuri: "And that would be?"

Fable: "..."

(Fable runs off.)

Yuto: "And there she goes..."

Pencil: "Whatever. I'm getting a snack."

(Pencil walks past Shay and sees the sign.)

Pencil: "Phhf..."

Shay: "What's so funny?"

Pencil: "Nothing..."


Angel: "Alright, everyone! Now that we got Fable back we can really get this party started...and by started I mean continue what we were doing! Now we got Artemishipping. The shipping name for Yuri, Celina, and Yuya Sakaki! This AU Yuri and Celina were partners, but Celina ends up joining the Lancers. After the final battle, Celina and Yuya have a little talk with Yuri."


Ship Name: Artemishipping (Yuri x Yuya Sakaki x Celina)

Name Reason: Named as such because they all have something in common with the goddess. Artemis was the Greek Goddess of the Moon and Hunting and her main weapon was the bow and arrow. Celina plays a Moonlight/Lunalight deck, Yuri thinks of his mission as a hunting game, and Yuya has the kanji for arrow in his name.


You Have Us

Standing outside the hospital door was Celina. Beside her was Yuya Sakaki. The war had finally ended and they had put a stop to Zarc. However, to Celina, there was still one last challenge she had to face before she could move on.

"Celina…" Celina felt Yuya's hand slip into her own. "Remember, I'm right behind ya." His voice was calming to her.

"Thanks Yuya." Celina knocked on the door. "Yuri, are you awake?" She could hear movement in the room, like someone was shifting in the bed.

"Yes?" Celina took a breath.

"I'm coming in." Without waiting for a response, Celina grabbed the doorknob and opened it. The room looked like any other hospital room. Sitting in the hospital bed was Yuri.

Celina's partner.

After Zarc was defeated they found the Dragon Boys passed out on the ground. They were all taken to the Standard Dimension for treatment. Yuya was the first to wake up, followed by Yugo and Yuto. Yuri only woke up this morning and so tests were still being ran on him to make sure he was healthy.

In Yuri's lap was a book that he has read a good way into. He raised a delicate eyebrow upon seeing her. His curiosity rose when he spotted Yuya behind her in the hallway.

"Celina? Yuya? What brings you two?" Yuri asked. Celina's mouth went dry.

Damn it!

She faced the Demon Duelist with literally no fear, but she couldn't face her own partner?! Yuya seem to sense this and decided to speak for her.

"She came here, to apologize to you." Yuya said, stepping into the room. The door shut behind him.

"To...me?" Yuri now seem confused. "For what? Leaving me or loving you?"

"W-what?! No! Don't be stupid, Yuri!" Celina stammered. Yuri rolled his eyes.

"Celina, I know you like a book." Yuri shut the book on his lap for emphasis. "We've been partners for years. When I got word that you joined the Lancers I knew you weren't going to last long."

"Excuse me?!"

"And then I saw you." Yuri continued, ignoring Celina's outrage comment and looking over at Yuya. "The reason why Celina could fight against the odds, could go against everything her whole life once was, was because of you." Celina gritted her teeth.

"You don't know me at all! The reason why I turned against Academia was because I learned that what we were doing was wrong! We were destroying homes and ripping apart families! They were calling us monsters and I just...didn't want that for...us." Celina looked away, suddenly unable to look him in the eye. Yuri was quiet for a moment.

"Stop lying to yourself, Celina." Celina looked up sharply at that.

"I think I know how I FEEL, Yuri."

"No, you think you know how you feel. Celina, I wasn't as far away as you thought. I see the way you look at him." Yuri nods at Yuya, who was standing in the corner quietly. "I see the way he makes you smile. The way he builds you up. He's my better half." Yuya opened his mouth to protest, but Yuri shuts him down with a glare. "Of course I was jealous. It's why I wanted to card you last." Yuri lean back against his pillows like this conversation was perfectly casual. "I wanted to make you both suffer. But when you were dueling Zarc, I realized something."

"And that would be?" Celina asked.

"During the last turn, you four started calling to us but we didn't respond. Not because we couldn't hear you, but because we just couldn't. Zarc wouldn't allow us." Celina's eyes widen. "Rin called out to Yugo, Lulu called out to Yuto, Zuzu called out to Yuya, and you, well...you also called out to Yuya."

"It isn't like that, Yuri. I thought...that you were gone. The last time I saw you, you had went completely insane!"

"Calm down. I'm not blaming you for anything."

"I never..! I…! You…!" Celina's mouth kept on trying to make sentences but her mind wasn't quite sure on how to form them. "Grr….WHY THE HELL DO YOU MAKE THINGS SO DAMN DIFFICULT?!" Yuri just blinked at her calmly, unfazed by her outburst.

"Fine then. Let me make this simple. I'm not upset that you fell in love with Yuya. I'm not upset that you are leaving me for him…"

"WHO SAID I WAS DOING THAT, YOU DUMBASS?!" Celina shouted. "I love you, Yuri but we were just on the wrong side!" Before Yuri could say anything else Celina turned on her heels and left, slamming the door shut behind her.

"Well then." Yuri said after a bit of silence. "That went well." He then processed to pick up his book and continued where he left off. Yuya, who had remained quiet during the entire conversation spoke up.

"She really does love you, you know." Yuri glances up at his counterpart.

"Before, maybe, but now?" Yuri shakes his head.

"No. She loved you then and she still loves you now. It was hard for her in the beginning."

"But then she met you."

"Yeah, I made it a little easier for her." Yuya admitted. "But that didn't changed how she felt about you. Even during the end, it really hurt her because she really thought you were gone."

"Look, Yuya. I don't have a problem with you being with Celina. As long as you take care of her and treat her right."

"Same goes for you." Yuri just stared at Yuya for a moment.

"Sure. Whatever. Now can I please go back to my reading?" Yuri asked as he opened his book. Suddenly he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist.

"You and Celina both need healing, but you both will be okay. You have each other, and you have me."

"I swear, you are the strangest counterpart." Yuri said, rolling his eyes. Yuya looked up at him and smiled. Seeing that smile may have made Yuri cheeks heat up a little bit.

"From you, that's a compliment."


Yuri: "Ugh, I need a barf bag after that."

Celina: "Same."

Yuya: "Aww, I thought it was nice."

Angel: "Hold onto that thought, Celina, because you're on next."

Celina: "Again?"

Fable: "Yeah. You and Saya. If that's okay?"

(Celina sighs.)

Celina: "Who even ships us together?"

(Fable slowly opens laptop.)

Fable: "Do you...want to see fanart?"

Celina: "...No thanks."

(Celina slowly backs away.)

Angel: "Good answer."
