I am SageRyock, the creator of this little fanfic. Although I do not do much writing, I do find myself to be pretty good at writing. This story is not in any way based on any of the characters in the actual Yu-Gi-Oh anime, and consists of three characters. A character longing to find his lost sister, a madman seeking riches and world domination, and another man who wishes to prove that no other soul in the world can defeat him.
DISCLAIMER- I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!(cries) and do not own anything involving Yu-Gi-Oh!.
I do however, own all characters not made in the anime/manga/tcg involved in this story(excluding two others which I will tell at the end of the story). Read and enjoy! This is my second fanfic by the way, and I think I've grown to be getting pretty good at creating fanfics now. The Yu-Gi-Oh! characters may or may not be in this. Please R&R!

Delicate Crystals
Chapter 2- Lifeberg VS Lady Death
Twenty minutes passed, and Ryoshin and Crystal decided to go back to the tournament to see who's going to fight who next. Ryoshin and Crystal walked up to the information to desk to see who would be dueling next and to Ryoshin's surprise, he would be after the next duel.
"Excuse me miss. Is Ryock registered to be dueling tomorrow or today?" Ryoshin asked, seeming a little nervous if he'd be dueling today.
"May I have your ID pass?" she asked, as she turned around and started typing some things into the computer sitting on her desk.
"My ID pass is 152885" Ryoshin told the woman, beginning to panic.
"I better not be today. They said I wouldn't be dueling until tomorrow" Ryoshin thought to himself.
"It says you should be dueling tomorrow. Today there's only going to be one more duel, then your's will be held early at 7:15 am" she said, looking at him again.
"Phew, ok thanks. Does it say what today's last duel will be?" Ryoshin asked.
"It says that a duelist named Lifeberg, and a duelist named Lady Death will be dueling today" the woman said.
"Alright, thanks" Ryoshin said, turning around to face Crystal again.
"So are you dueling today?" she asked, in a way that looked like she was trying to peer into his mind.
"No, thankfully. They said I'll be dueling tomorrow at 7:15 am. Pretty early, so I'm going to get to bed early tonight, so I can practice some more" Ryoshin said, folding his arms with a serious look.
"Practice, practice, practice. Thats all you ever do. Dont you do anything else? Dont you have any other hobbies?" she asked, a bit irritated.
"Duel monsters is a hobby, if I'm not mistaken, and no I dont really do much else, since I AM in a regional tournament, and if I slack off, I could lose a duel in no time. Becides, I need to see if these cards work well, or if I should add any new monsters or magics into the deck for support" Ryoshin said, finishing his sentence, and beginning to walk towards the dueling field.
Crystal didnt follow, as she started to think over what she said to him. "I guess he's got a point.
He only gets one shot at this. If he screws up, he could lose everything. Hmmm, alright then. I'll
give him my everlasting support. He'll know that I'm always there for him" she thought to herself,
picking her head up, and she began to start following Ryoshin again.
The duelists were just about to begin their match as Ryoshin entered to watch. The blue side duelist
was a bit small, standing at about 5 feet, 5 inches. He had straight, brown hair that had a tail at
the back of his head, which reached just below his shoulder blades. A person could easily tell his
favorite color was white, as that was all he was wearing. He wore a white overshirt, with white jeans,
white shoes, white T-shirt, and a silver wristband that said "Lifeberg" in gold, capital letters.
The man looked somewhere around 17-18 years of age.
The red side duelist seemed to be the exact opposite though, as she looked about 25 years old, and wore nothing but black. She stood about 5 feet, 8 inches, had black hair even, and was wearing a black dress that reached all the way down to the ground, covering her feet. She smiled seductively as she entered the field, and blew a kiss to her opponent. Her opponent made a movement with his right hand, looking like he was shooing away a fly.
"Well thats rude, hun" the woman said, giggling once again, seductively.
"Heh. Girl, you dont have a chance against me. But eh, lets see what you can do" the duelist replied to the woman, as he took out his deck and begun shuffling.
The woman took out her deck as well, and began shuffling her own deck. The two stopped, and they both set down their decks and drew five cards each.
"This duel will be between Lifeberg and Lady Death! The red side will begin the duel! Let the duel commence!" the referee announced, raising his right arm, and throwing it back down.
Ryoshin raised an eyebrow after looking at Lady Death. He didnt like how she looked at the duelist.
It was as if she liked seducing her opponents before even taking a move.
"I dont like this. This might be kind of stupid if Lifeberg is good" Ryoshin said, folding his arms.
"Why's that Ryo?" Crystal asked, narrowing her eyes confused.
"Just watch"
"Well, hun. I'll start things off by playing one monster in defense. You can go now" Lady Death began.
"Thats it? Hmmm, alright then. I'll do the same. I'll put a monster in defense as well, and I'll lay two cards face-down. Go ahead miss Death" Lifeberg replied, putting his hand down.
"Ok then. I'll put another monster in defense mode and that'll do it sweety"
Lifeberg took a close look at his hand at the cards he contained. He saw an instant combo and
decided to show her a thing or two.
"Ok, I'm now going to bring forth a monster that will forever suck out your life! The one monster
that allows me to sacrifice YOUR monsters! I sacrifice both your monsters, and summon the Lava Golem!
But of course, it wouldnt be fair for ME to keep the monster. Here, you can have it" Lifeberg said
confidently, as he watched the monster go to her side of the field.
"Oh well, at least you sacrificed both my Witch of the Black Forest and my Sangan. I'll get two monsters now, thanks to you" lady Death said, picking up her deck and searching her deck.
"Hmph, this isnt going to help her" Liferberg thought to himself, as he watched her add the cards to her hand.
"I picked Cat of Ill Omen, and Cyber Jar" she said, watching him again.
"Alright, I'll lay two more cards face-down and now I'll flip up my monster that I had hidden! Its the Des Koala! This monster will take 400 life points out of you for each card in your hand! So that Witch and Sangan just helped me! That means I've done 2800 points of damage!" he said, smiling evily.
Lady Death smiled evily back at Lifeberg, as she drew her card, taking her next move. She watched her
life points decrease by 1000, beginning to worry now.
"Alright, enough games now! I play Tribute to the Doomed. I'll discard Earthbound Spirit to destroy
Lava Golem so he wont sap any more of my life points!" Lady Death said, getting rid of the card from
her hand.
"Nah, I think I'll win just a LITTLE early today. I activate two traps! Ring of Destruction, and
Barrel Behind the Door! I'll use Ring of Destruction on Lava Golem, inflicting 3000 points of damage
to both of us, but Barrel Behind the Door will prevent the damage done to me, and hit you instead"
Lifeberg interrupted.
"Nooo! Thats impossible! You cheated!"
"Nope, you just suck"
"The winner is Lifeberg of the blue side! Congratulations! You will now move on to the next round!" the referee stated, raising his arm to Lifeberg's side.
"See what I mean?" Ryoshin asked Crystal.
"Wow, she already lost? I guess she wasnt that good" Crystal stated, smiling at Ryoshin.
"See? I got to practice. If I dont, I could end up losing the same move as she did. That was quite a nice combo he pulled off there though. Well, how about we go have some fun? You up to going to a carnival for the night?" Ryoshin asked.
"I thought you said you needed to practice?" Crystal asked, thinking he was ignoring what he had just said.
"I am. But I've got all night. And I plan at waking up at about five tomorrow, so I'll have some hours left to practice. Becides, I think you'd get annoyed if you just kept following me and didnt have anything to do except watch me and other people duel our brains out" he said, chuckling a bit.
"Eh he. Ok then, we'll go to the town's carnival. I think it would be fun to get on the Ferris Wheel though" she said, walking away.
"Sure" Ryoshin said, and began to follow her.
