Life's unexpecting turns . . .
(Well, I guess it's time to continue on with this story. It was good and happy for now, but I guess there are new things rising up clouding the happiness. Wonder what will happen. At first, I thought this was just going to be a small story, but now I feel I want to expand it more. Well, these are just thoughts. I'll just have to wait and see what will happen. ^_^ One more thing: I may be gone away from my computer away for a few days. v_v But I promise as soon as I come back to write the next series. Just one thing, perhaps the next 2-3 chapters will be longer, since it will get good.) DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter V: Orichaos . . .
*** Next week, early evening . . . *** No one has heard from Yuugi since that day last week. After being forced to go to school, Anzu, Jounouchi, and Honda have gone separately looking for their friend Yuugi, but they have had no such luck. No one has said anything to each other since this happened. Anzu and Jounouchi feel bad for starting all this and both feel guilty. Honda helps in finding Yuugi, but at the same time tries to evade from the two guys.
In a dark room it appears that a person is sitting down behind a desk. In the back a window appears with the blinds nearly covering all of the sun's rays. The rays that do go through stop as the light shows some different duel monster cards. A familiar hand appears and picks up the cards, placing them into a deck. The person stands up and looks out the window seeing an incomplete bridge. Narrowing his blank violet eyes, the person turns to a digital clock showing 5:59pm. "It's time . . ."
Jounouchi goes over to his apartment on the way to leave his things. Opening the door to his room, he throws his books and bags on the floor. For a slight moment he leans against the wall a bit frustrated and sad from something. "Why did this have to happen now?" He closes his eyes thinking from that flashback: [That same day last week in the evening outside near Jounouchi's apartment. Anzu and Jounouchi stopped looking for Yuugi. Both are leaning against the wall. After a moment of silence, Anzu's voice breaks the silence barrier. "Jounouchi?" He turns his head to Anzu thinking that perhaps this may not be something good. "Hm?" She releases a sigh, trying to get out what she needs to say. "I've been thinking. Maybe we're not ready for such a thing yet. We've been together, and look at what trouble has been caused." After hearing such words, Jounouchi listens attentively. "What are you saying?" Turning to him, Anzu tries to hold back her tears just from even thinking of saying something like this to the one she loved. "I'm saying that maybe we should maybe, take a break?" Narrowing his eyes, Jounouchi turns away slightly from the emotional blow he just took. "You mean, as in not be together?" She takes his hand for a moment and tries to make things sound better. "Just for a little bit. It won't be permanent. We'll be fine." Jounouchi nods a bit and wanted to kiss her for what it appeared to be one last time, but instead he just gave Anzu a friendly hug and both are ready to part their ways. "Bye." Jounouchi starts to head up to the apartment and Anzu continues to walk toward her house, as both begin to slowly break down apart from this thinking that perhaps it wasn't going to be temporary.] "I can't believe it. I love her, and now it's goodbye all of a sudden? I wish it wouldn't end like this." Just as he is about to leave, the telephone rings. "Who would be calling right now? Just about everyone is off doing something else." He walks over to the telephone and slowly picks it up, listening to the voice. "Jou? You there?" He listens to the voice wondering who could it be. "Who is this?" After a small delay, a familiar but hoarse voice is heard. "It's me, Honda. Listen, we found Yuugi. He looks a bit better now. He's talking to Anzu right now. He's still a bit shook up about what happened." Jounouchi sighs a bit from relief, but still is unsure about the voice. "True. It was a bit of a surprise." Immediately the person asks a question. "Listen, if you were willing to do this, you must really be hung up on Anzu, huh?" Jounouchi nods. "Yea. She's something special. I would do anything for her." Silence is heard through the phone line, worrying Jounouchi. "Well, where are you guys at?" After a bit of more delay, the person speaks again. "W-we're at the bridge they're constructing right now. Just meet us there, and bring your duel disk and cards." Jounouchi widens his eyes wondering why is Honda telling him to bring his cards. "Why?" Right then the voice responds quickly. "Just trust me on this and do it." The person hangs up the phone and Jounouchi gets curious about all this. "This is so fuckin confusing, but I might as well do it." Going through his bags, Jounouchi finally finds his cards and duel disk. After he straps it on and places the cards in the slot, he runs out right away noticing how soon it will be dusk . . .
Running through the midst of the city, Anzu looks around for Yuugi to apologize for all this. With no such luck, she gets worried about all this and gets some sort of feeling of déjà vu. "Not this again. It feels like something will repeat, and I don't like it one bit. I need to stop it before anyone gets hurt, especially Jounouchi." Stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, she looks down with a tear escaping her eye and going down her face. "Yuugi, Jounouchi, I'm sorry for all this." After thinking about it, she continues to run in search of them . . .
In about half an hour Jounouchi reaches to where the bridge is actually constructed. Noticing how it's still being constructed, there are signs blocking the entrance to the bridge. Nevertheless, Jounouchi passes through the warnings and blockages, as he sees that good thing no one is here working right now. When he stops in the middle of the road, he sees there is a gap of about ten feet still incomplete on the bridge. As he walks to the edge of one side, Jounouchi realizes that no one is here. "Is anyone here?" When Jounouchi turns around and steps away a few feet realizing perhaps no one is here, footsteps are heard. Right when Jounouchi turns around, he notices and sees Yuugi standing about the same distance with a duel disk on his arm and he is not wearing the puzzle. Jounouchi ponders what is Yuugi doing here alone. "What are you doing here?" Yuugi's eyes are covered by a shadow made with his hair. "Jounouchi, I want to settle things out here and now. And what better way with a duel?" Jounouchi's eyes widen realizing what Yuugi really did. "You were the one that called me on the phone, didn't you?" Yuugi talks for a brief moment in the terrible impersonation of Honda. "Well, it was urgent for you to come here." Hearing the trick Yuugi did, Jounouchi narrows his eyes a bit in frustration. His mind clouds his judgment, especially after the emotional breakdown splitting up with Anzu. "Fine, you want a duel? I'll give you one!" Extending his left arm out, Jounouchi activates his duel disk, as the card slots combine and become parallel to his arm. Yuugi then does the same, as both their LP meters go right up to 4000. Both grab 5 cards from the slots and place them in their hands. Then they both yell out the words heard before, but for some reason they were yelled out from anger. "DUEL!!!"
Nearby at the bridge there is a gray 3-story building. The door to the roof opens with a slam. Honda walks out looking at the view of the city. He walks over to the edge of the roof, looking around not noticing the bridge. "There, this must give me a better view of the city. Maybe I can spot Yuugi from up here. It looks nice here, though. Maybe I can take Shizuka here or somethin." Right at that moment something is pressed against the back of his head, then something else as well. His eyes widen knowing what is it. A voice is heard from behind. "Did you forget about your due?" Behind Honda are two men standing each with a gun in their hand, as they are pointed to Honda's head. His body freezes completely in fear as he can only say one thing from all this. "Damn . . ."
Back at the bridge, Yuugi and Jounouchi barely start their game. Jounouchi first gets worried about this, then he realizes that there is nothing to worry about since Yuugi doesn't have the puzzle and can't bring forth any games of darkness. Just then, Yuugi picks up another card from his deck. "If you don't mind, I'll go first." Jounouchi then growls a bit, still pissed off about what Yuugi did. "Fine, make your move!" Yuugi looks to his cards, as his eyes can't be seen due to the shadow casted from his hair. "With pleasure. I set one monster in defense." Taking one card from his hand, Yuugi places the card down into the disk as the hologram appears in the edge of the bridge gap. "I end my turn." Jounouchi draws his card now. "Alright, then. I also set one card in defense mode, plus set one card facedown." He places the two cards down, as both cards appear as holograms. "That's my turn." Yuugi draws a card, then looks at it. He smiles a bit and places the card in the slot. "I play the magic card Terraforming! This allows me to take a field magic card and place it in my hand." Yuugi takes his deck out of the slot and begins to flip through the cards. Jounouchi thinks through his mind briefly about Yuugi's decision. "What card could he be in search for?" After selecting the card, Yuugi shuffles his deck and places it back in the slot. For a moment, Yuugi gives an evil smirk. "Now, prepare for the card I just chose. I activate ORICHALCOS NO KEKKAI!!!" Yuugi opens the small field slot and places the glowing card inside. Jounouchi widens his eyes completely in surprise. "WHAT!? Impossible! How can it be!?" A giant circle forms around them and a pillar of green light is vertically shot up in the air. Then lines form on the circle intersecting at certain points forming the dreaded symbol of Orichalcos. Yuugi lifts his head up slightly as the shadows covering his eyes disappear. All that can be seen now is Yuugi's eyes covered completely in a blood red glow. Just when the same symbol on the ground appears on Yuugi's forehead, he then laughs a bit from all this. "Both of us can't be here with Anzu. Either I will go or you will go!"
Before taking one more step from running, Anzu stops hearing commotion about something. "What's this about?" Noticing two people pointing their fingers at the sky, she turns her head looking in the sky a green pillar of light. "That seems strangely familiar, but what?" Going through the thoughts in her head, Anzu finally realizes it and remembers the time Yuugi and the pharaoh fought against each other in that duel when Yuugi used the power of Orichalcos. She remembers that card that took the souls of many people, including Yuugi and Jounouchi. She widens her eyes in fear that maybe it's that same power. Even worse, her friends may be in trouble as a result of this. "It can't be. I need to get to them before it's too late." She starts to run fast at lightning speed towards the light hoping to avoid losses of her friends . . .
(I didn't want to write that, but it appears big things are ending already. How can Honda escape from those two? Is it the end for a love already? And what about the game with so much on the line? Please comment!)
