Seven Days

by Tate Icasa

This is a Hakuoh x OC pairing. Basically, half a year after season two ends, Hakuoh and Kitami get trapped in a rockslide. NOT a lemon. However, the Lemony companion piece, 'And on the Seventh Day', is posted.

2. Beautiful? I'm a boy

Duel Masters: Seven Days

(A/n: breaks in the storyline, accompanied by a change of tense means moving out of flashback mode and into the story being told. I hope this isn't too confusing. Also, and speech from charries not part of the actual storyline (ie, the people the story is being told to) will have the name first, and no quotation marks.)

Chapter One: "Beautiful? I'm a boy."

:Hakuoh's POV/

It's probably been about half a year since we defeated the PLOOPS. By 'We', of course, I mean all of us, not only those who dueled. Shobu Kirafuda, his father Shori, Rekuda, Boy George, Mimi, Knight, Kokojo, and myself.

Kokojo, as expected, disappeared soon after. Shobu, Shori, and Rekuda all went home, as well. Boy George went back to live with Dr. Root. Knight, Mimi, and I really had no where to go, so we traveled together for a time. Then, one day, Knight mysteriously disappeared. Mimi and I have been on our own ever since.

I suppose we could both go back to the Temple. But neither of us has any great desire to encounter Master again. So we don't go back.

I' out wandering around aimlessly. Well, not completely aimlessly. Sometime yesterday I had dropped the Amulet Deck case Shori gave me, and Mimi and I are out looking for it.

Soon enough, Mimi calls to me. I see her wave it in the air and walked over. But when I get there, Mimi's gone.

"Mimi?" I ask, puzzled, and look around.

"Over here!"She calls, waving. "I think I found something!"

So I followed her. I had nothing better to do, after all. She led me into a cave. I suppose I should have known then that she wans't Mimi. Twenty-twenty hindsight.

We've gone Semi-far into the cave when she stops suddenly and turns around. I see then that she isn't Mimi.

"You're not Mimi." I say stupidly. (Boy George: Way intelligent, Hakuoh. Shobu: Shut up, I want to hear this. Boy George: grumbles)

"Nope." She says, smiling brightly.

I look at her warily.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, Hakuoh. You're too beautiful."

Wait a second, beautiful? I'm a boy.

I point this out to her.

She rolls her eyes. "I know that. I'm not a lesbian."

Before the full impact of that statement can hit me, something else does.

Ok, Kit, so not the time.
