In the first flashback, in the year 1810, when her parents were still alive, as the previous rulers of the vampire clan, Larmina was early trained by her father to become a fearful and being well respected warrior, in which she was been admired by some of her fellow vampires, making her older sister, Marga, was started to getting resented at her, is because due to her enchanted beauty and positive attitudes. When she reached at the age of 12 years old, one night, before she went to sleep, she asked her father about something.
" Um, Daddy. "
" What is it, my dear? "
" When you had met Mommy... did you two were having a close contact with each other? I had thought in my mind that vampires had never been contact with human beings. "
" Well, you see, my dear... your mom and I were so very close to each other even she was beautiful as a vampire. Someday, you will learned that when you are at the right age. "
" Do you always believe in love, Daddy? "
" Of course not, my dear. Every person in this world were believed in love. There are some different kinds of love: love for family, love for your friend, love for your relatives, love for your neighbor, love for other people, love for yourself and love for the one whom you truly cares for... or in simple, selfless sacrifice. "
" selfless sacrifice, huh.. what is that means? "
" when a person was willing to sacrificed his or her own life to the person whom he or she truly cares or loves with. "
" I see " nodded her head a little bit, and she asked her father again " Do you think I will find the right man for me, Daddy? If I do, I will gonna willing to sacrifice my own life for the one whom I truly loved with. "
" Of course, it is, Larmina. After all, you are a good and well kinded vampire in the entire clan. Someday, you will find the right man to loved you until eternity. " tapped his hand on her head
After that, she went back to sleep on her bed, in which her dad smiled, happily and he leaved the room.
(Judai (Jaden) POV (Point of View))
In the second flashback, after the confrontation appearance of Marco, Larmina's former vampire husband (from the previous chapter), snow was started to fall. Everyone were inside of their respective houses, is because vampires (both pure blooded and vegetarians) don't usually go out in during snow or in cold weather is because their weakness was they were easily to get a long time freezing sickness, unlike ordinary human beings. Instead of going out, the vegetarian vampires drink hot chocolate and eat fresh vegetables. While Desirus and the other fellow vampires were eating and moving around at the dining hall, even Jerry and Kindaichi joined with them as well, to experienced of vampires traditions. Some of the vampires requested Jerry to teached them the basic ideas and skills in dueling, but Jerry answered them " I think my master will gonna teached you that... he has much more better experiences than I am. "
Kindaichi, turned his head, asked Jerry, with curiosity " Hold on... why Carrina-san and Judai-san never came downstairs to eat dinner? It was getting snowy outside. "
" I don't know, Master Kindaichi-san. He said that... " Jerry replied
Then, Desirus cutted in, still eating the foods on the table, said " Just let them be, you two. "
" Huh, why not? " Kindaichi asked
" My sister wants to spent time with him in a private manner. She told me that all of us will never bothered their romantic moment... is because it was a private love matter. After all, she wanted to experienced to be in love to a special man after her first love, Mino Del Valle's death. " Desirus said in response
" Hmm... that's explains this that Master Judai-san told me after the confrontation with her former vampire husband, Marco, said that... he should wants to spend more time with her... in a private manner.. and so... I just only nodded.. didn't say anything. " Jerry stated
" It was very obvious for an ancient female vampiress just like Larmina to be attracted to a human being just like Mr Judai Yuki. I had realized that he has huge similarities with Mr Del Valle. " Johanna said
" I got your point there... " Kindaichi muttered
Meanwhile at the Countess room, her room has some glittery decorations and with large red curtains in every windows. I was standing, gazing at the window, watched the snow falls down. Carrina went slowly approached to me.
" Watching the snow, huh? I never thought that you like to watch them although that vampires don't go out when snowy weather comes, is because we will getting a long term freezing sickness. "
I looked up, raised my head, said with a smile on my face, said " I loved to watch the falling snow is because... when I was a little kid, I loved to played snow in outside of the backyard along with my pets Tom and Jerry. When it was the time of Christmas Day, we did making snowmans, riding on a snowsledge and top of that, doing some snow creations. I couldn't forget when it was gift giving time at my family's home in Kyoto, my grandma gave me a special gift, a locket necklace with a snow heart shape on it. Then, I had really like it a lot. I had still weared it until now. It was a very special Christmas gift ever. After all, it gives me feel warmer when I fall asleep. "
Carrina, looked at me, with a deep silent expression on her face and that very moment, she went slowly straight towards to me, placed both of her arms around my shoulder and then her face was getting near to my neck, and I felt her coldness in inside her, hugging me in embraced. I was startled in surprised when she did that. My body was started to getting more shiver than ever and my heart was get beating faster and louder than ever it seems. After a few seconds, she was still holding me while I was just nodded my head, without saying a word from my mouth.
And then, Carrina said to me, in a whispered manner, through my ears " I was getting feel warmer when I touched you. I had felt just like this the same way when Mino was still alive back then. Although... "
" Although, what? " my voice was in a low tone whispered manner, turned my head, looking at her
" Although... I do really believe in love as much everyone in this planet does but not all... but you are the only exception. I had lived for long years, to traveled through the ocean of time, to searched something that I really wanted to be, besides my own freedom... in which it was no other than you.. "
Confused of what she had said, I asked " But why you had chose me instead of others from the very beginning? You had already have your own husband... and... "
She cutted in, interrupted me, went on " I had chosen you... is because... you have the same similarities as my beloved Mino from the past... the ocean of time predicted to me that there is someone who has the same resemblance as him... and that why I traveled so very far away, through the ocean waves... until I found you at the forest... when you were a little boy. That's explains that fate had brought me to fall in love once again, to learned to be loved and to loved by the one whom you truly cares for. And besides, you are far more different from any other people in this world, is because... you have a great positive personality in yourself. "
" Carrina-sama... "
We looked at each other for a little bit moment. In a sudden, she released one of her hand, putting in around my waist, holding it tightly while her other hand, was holded hers to mine. Then, she pulled me, leaned closer to hers, and our own bodies were intertwined with each other, together, formed into one. I had never been experienced this in my whole life that I was been touched by a woman who was very older than me. She bented me down, looked at me, with a coldless expression on her face. Her other hand was still holding on my waist while she holding my other hand.
I tried to say something from my mouth but Carrina said to me " You are the second man that I ever have with. Even though that I betrayed you from before, you are still can able to forgive me, even though I was a vampire ruler. I will never leaved you behind again, and stayed by my side, for all eternity... after all, I couldn't lose someone who was so very important to my world... you are my only true love of my life forever, Judai Yuki. "
I looked at her, with a gazing expression on my face, said to her " Well, I had never been experienced to be fall in love until I met you... although you are far more different from anyone else... I still wanted to experienced what it love is.. just like how other couples did... but sometimes, I was getting resented, when I saw them, hugging, kissing, giving gifts and top of that, spending time together with each other. When I was watching at them, I was thinking in my mind that... I was too useless to fall in love to a woman or a beautiful lady to loved me... until you came to my life, captured not only me, but my heart, my mind and my soul. You are the first woman creature who shows me the meaning of what true love is... although you are a vampire lady but for me, it will never changed that way until the very end... "
We paused for a moment. After a few seconds, Carrina went on, said to me, in a serious tone manner " I will be having a battle at the mountains against the dark werewolves tomorrow morning. They were trying to invade the other territories out there. I'll be leaving early before sunrise. "
This makes me a little bit frightened with worried expression on my face. But Carrina said " Don't worry about me. I'll be back after the battle, okay? It was just in a few hours. "
" What if.. what if... you will getting hurt so badly in the battle fight? If you were fighting alone against them, you will getting died so very easily... "
My heart was getting pounded so very loudly in my chest, with strong anxious and fear in inside.
" And you will never came back here again for good... " and I tapped both of my hands on her shoulder, said with in a pleading manner " I don't want to see you died so easily... please, don't go... please... " and a little teardrop fell off from my eyes
Carrina, saw my sudden reaction, looked at me for a second, and she touched my face, through her hand, said to me, with a deep calm expression " I know that you are so very worried about my safety... but don't need to be anxious that much, I have my own vampire armies to fight alongside with me. After all, my only concern was just only your safety, Judai. There is nothing for you to be fear of. I won't be dead, is because I'm an immortal vampire. Just kept that in your mind of what I said to you, okay? "
No other choice, I just nodded my head, said in a low tone voice " Okay, I will. But promised to me that you'll be back in here, okay? "
" I will " with a loving smile on her face
Her words makes me to calmed myself but although I have a little bit anxious on my mind of what will happened in their battle tomorrow but I have no other choice but to follow of what she had said. Then, our conversation was ended.
I turned my back, asked her " So, what we gonna do now next? I think we should get to sleep. You need some strong energy tomorrow. "
" I understand that. But there is one more thing that I need to request from you. "
" What is it, Carrina-sama? "
" I need your pure blood again. "
" Huh? But why? "
" Is because your blood was far more purer than any other people's bloods, just like my beloved Mino had from the past. I need that for my... battle strength and speed... and to getting strong as well. "
" But you had sucked my blood a few months ago, back when from America, when I was been heavily injured, attacked by that clown named Pennywise at the forest of Derry, Maine. Somehow... why I did not transformed into a vampire back when? "
" Is because you were been healed by a special medicine that it can able to stopped the venom from spreading, avoid to be transformed into a vampire. I don't want to see you to become one just like me, is because... you still have a chance to survive and revived from death. That's explains why you were still a human being until now. "
" I see about it. " and I resigned myself, with a little nervous on my face, wrapped both of my arms around my chest, with a deep sigh " Okay, if that was your choice... then.. do it now.. "
" But first... take off your red jacket. "
" Huh, for what? " with confusion on my mind
" Why? Is because you were scared that you will gonna take off your clothes in front of a woman? "
" I'm not scared. " with a little grumpy expression on my face
" Really? "
" Of course, really. Haven't you been take off your clothes in front of a young man just like me? "
" Just once, when I was with my beloved Mino. I don't want to get embarrassed you but... it was the way of being as a couple, you know that. "
" Okay, if you say so... "
With my deep sigh, I take off my red jacket and placed on a wooden chair that it was near to the cabinet.
" Then, what's next? "
And then, she went approached to me, slowly. Then, she carried me through both of her arms, in a princess style manner. I was thinked in my mind that a princess should be carried by her prince or her knight in shining armor, just like it was happened mostly in some fairy tale story books that I had read from before. But somehow, dreams are so very different from true reality and this is was my first time that I was been carried by a beautiful vampiress just like her. I was getting blushed in red on my face of what she did to me. After all, it was my first life time experience and she was considered as my first female knight in shining armor.
So, she placed me in her bed, covered with red sheets. I was getting nervous when she lied down in the center position, in front of me. She looked at me for a moment and then she hold my other hand, raised up my arm. I felt my body was started to getting shaked up again, so very coldly just like the falling snow. After all, this is the first time I was been sleeped and intercourse with a beautiful vampire just like her in one bed.
After that, she touched the tip of my hair through her fingertip going down to my face. That very moment, she whispered to my ear, in a whispered manner, said the words that I always heard from her " I love you, my beloved Judai. "
This is the first time that she calls me beloved.
I nodded my head, slowly, said, did the same way as she did " I love you too, Carrina-sama... "
And she pressed her lips to mine, kissed so very hardly. Her lips was chilled cold as ice. After that, she pulled me, closed to hers and she kissed me again, but this time, so very forcibly. She takes off my black t shirt and I lied down back on the bed, while she raised again my other arm, getting closer to me, lying down in a center position and then she was started to begin sexual intercourse at me.
Meanwhile at the third floor of the castle, Jerry and Kindaichi, were on their beds, was talking to Tom and the others including Edo Phoenix, Johan Andersen, Austin O Brien and also Superintendent Akechi, Inspector Kenmochi and Ryo Marufuji, Sho's older brother and a professional Pro Duelist, just like Manjoume, on the computer tablet, through video group chat.
" How are you two doing there? " Tom asked
" Seems fine. It was getting snow outside tonight. " Jerry answered
" What was the castle of Carrina-san looks like? " Sho asked
" It was very huge and well neat... just like from the ancient Gothic structures. " Jerry answered
" Is that castle was too spooky? " Kenzan asked
" No, not really. The vampires are just pure vegetarians. They are very kind and well generous unlike the pure blooded vampires. They just only drink blood from living creatures just like animals. " Jerry said
" Aww... I wished I could come with you guys. But Mr Yuki picked Kindaichi-san instead to come with you and Aniki. I had just really wanted to meet them all. " Sho said, with an upset expression on his face
" By the way, Jerry-kun. " Manjoume said
" Yeah, what is it, Manjoume-san? " Jerry asked
" Tenjoin-kun and I will gonna go in that place by tomorrow. " Manjoume answered
" It is?! You two will gonna go here? " Jerry asked, with a surprise expression on his face
" Of course. Tenjoin-kun wanted to meet the Countess again in personal. I was trying to persuade her to not go, but in the end, I had given up. " Manjoume said
" Make sense of it, Manjoume-san. I know that you still have a crush on her, don't you? " Tom asked, with romantic embarrassment
" Will you shut up there, pussycat?! " Manjoume shouted, with a little anger on his face
" Nice try, Manjoume-kun. Worth a shot for my sister, really... " Fubuki said, in a romantic manner
" Will you mind? She had already have her own special someone, got that?! " Manjoume said, with a little grumpy expression on his face
" Let me guess, you are still resented to Judai, aren't you? " Misawa asked
" Me, resented? No way! " Manjoume said, with a grumpy expression on his face
" Yes, you are. See that in your face. " Kenzan said, teasing him
" Will you shut your mouth there, you dinosaur man? " Manjoume told him, with a slight blush on his face
" Ha! Ha! Ha! Nice try, Manjoume-san. " Tom said, with a burst of laughter
" I think Asuka-san will gonna feeled the same way as you do although she was not very choosy that much... although Master Judai-san was so very happy when he was with Carrina-san. " Jerry stated
" How was Judai anyway? Hold on... why he wasn't with you guys at the room? " Austin asked
" Well... he was at the room of Carrina-san at the second floor... taking a break. " Kindaichi answered in response
The others were froze in silence, surprised of what he had said.
After a few seconds, Johan was the first one to break the silence, said in a surprise manner " He was at the room of the vampire countess?! Taking a break?! Are you nuts? "
" He was not joking, guys. It was really true. Master told me a while back ago that he wanted to spend time with her in a private manner and of course to don't bother their romantic moment. " Jerry stated
" I had never thought that Judai will gonna sleep with her in one bed. How so very romantic..! " Fubuki said, in a romantic manner
" Of course, this is was his first time to sleeped in the bed, with a woman who was very older than him. Just never minded them. It was their own privacy, you know that. " Jerry said
" True, Judai was started to grown as a well mature young adult man. " Ryo said
" Thanks for that opinion, Ryo-kun. " Jerry said
" So, did you guys were introduced yourselves to her vampire family? " Edo asked
" Yep, and they were fully accepted us even humans and vampires don't usually get along with each other, just like in some ancient times. " Kindaichi answered
" That's great. Not all creatures in this world are so very bad and cruel. " Edo said
" Maybe you guys come here anytime as you want although Manjoume-san and Asuka-san will gonna go here by tomorrow. " Jerry said to them
" We gonna try, Jerry-kun. " Akechi replied
" Stay safe, guys. Don't let yourselves to be attacked or getting hurt by some wild animals out there in the forest. " Kenmochi told them
" We will, Inspector. " Jerry and Kindaichi said together
" By the way, how was Judai anyway right now? Maybe I think that... he was sleeped in the bed with her... and doing some sexual intercourse with each other... ? " Tom said
They were startled in surprise of what Tom said.
" What? Did I say out loud, guys?! " he protested
" Ugh, give me a break. " Kenzan said, with a sigh, tapped his hand on his forehead
" Maybe Tom was right, guys. After all, this is was his first time experience in love. So, don't need to be worried about it. He will be fine, really. " Jerry said to them, with a slight giggle on his face
" Very funny, Jerry-kun... " Misawa uttered
" Aniki learns to be more matured when it was comes to like this. I wished I wanted to be like him someday. " Sho stated
" I hope you will find a better girlfriend for you someday in the future, Sho-kun. " Jerry told him
" Thanks, Jerry-san. You are really a love expert, just like Fubuki-san. " Sho said, with a smile on his face
" No problem " Jerry said, with a thumbs up sign
While they were still talking to my friends and our allies at the down floor, I was still at the room of Carrina, still lying down on the comfy bed while Carrina was still holding me. She bent down her head, looking at me, and she flipped up her black cape, covered my whole body.
Then, she pressed her face, getting neared to mine, and she kissed me on the neck, and that very moment, she opened her mouth, showing her sharp fangs and she pressed it so very hardly, biting me at the right portion of my neck. As she bites me, some of my blood were flowed out from my neck, creating vampire marks. I was feeled so numbed as she sucked my blood from my neck. I cannot able to move and my body was feel so very shaky, just like a frozen statue. I thought on my mind " I had felt just like the same way from before... but why I was felt so very numbed when she sucked my blood... but why? "
After that, she asked me " Are you feeling cold? "
" As usual. Do you still have the medicine that it can stopped the venom from spreading? "
" Of course. There were at the cabinet. You can used many dosages as you wanted as long that you will never be transformed into a vampire."
" Thanks, Carrina-sama. My body was so feeled shaky. After all, it was my first time to sleep with you. "
" No problem, and besides you are the only man whom I wanted to be with, not anyone else. "
I looked at her, and said " Um, Carrina-sama... "
" Yes? " stared at me, with curiosity
" Can you kissed me again? After all, your kiss was far more stronger than anyone. Can you do that again, please? "
No other choice, Carrina went to my side, standing me up from the bed, kissed me on the lips again but this time, in a calm manner. I had never felt so strong from before, a vampire's kiss. We were intertwined with each other. I was trying to hold on her neck, with both of my hands, pressed our bodies closing to each other and we kissed again, in the same way.
The snow was stopped falling. The full moon was showed up in the night skies.
After we kissed, Carrina said " You must go to bed. It was already nighttime. You are almost exhausted and tired. "
" I understand "
I went back to my own staying place at the third floor, in where Jerry and Kindaichi stayed at. When I saw those two are already fall asleep, I turned my head back to Carrina, said " Well, I have to sleep now. Good night, Carrina-sama. "
" You too, Senor Judai. " with a smile on her face
This is the fourth time that she calls me Senor since I studied in America for few months, to get my scholarship.
And she went downstairs. I kept on watching at her even she was in the farther distance. My heart was beating so very faster than ever on my chest, still remember of what she did to me back then at her room. When she was already left out, I went back to bed, and went to sleep, peacefully.
The early in the morning, I was still fall asleep in the bed as Jerry poked me at my head.
I woked up, said " Aww.. Jerry. You don't have to wake me up just like that! "
" Makes sense, Master. You were almost been overslept. It was already passed 7 o clock in the morning. " he said, in a serious tone manner
I looked at the time in my cellphone and I was surprised and I asked Jerry " It was past 7 o clock already?! Why you didn't woke me up? "
" Why, is because you have been spent time together with Carrina-san at her room last night, huh? Don't tell me that you two were having a lovey dovey sexual intercourse, really... " Jerry asked, with a little romantic embarrassment
This makes me my face was getting blushed in full red, recalled of what happened last night and after that, I answered, nodded my head " Uh, the answer is yes, Jerry. All I really want is to spent time with her, that's all. "
" So... that's explains this why our friends and our allies were surprised of what I said to them last night at the video group chat, and they said this before turning off " Wow, my geesh! Is he was out of his mind?! " and somehow when Master Kindaichi-san said that you were asleep at the countess room, Johan-kun was so very shocked, asked " He was sleeped with the countess in the room?! Are you nuts?! " and I explained everything to them. That's all. I don't want to blamed you but... " Jerry stated
" So, how did you feel when you were with her, Judai-san? " Kindaichi asked
" She was feel so very cold and warm and even that, she kissed me many times although I cannot able to move my body and top of that... is... I was so very comfortable when I was with her, that's all I wanted to say. " I answered
" I see. So, did you expressed to her of what you had truly feel? " Kindaichi asked me again
" Well... she expressed her feelings for me and I accepted her feelings for me.. and after all... " holded my engagement necklace that Carrina gave to me on our first date in America, at the park in which she was dated with Mino, her first human lover, through my hand, went on " after all... I had finally understand of what love is.. and I feel in my heart that I couldn't lived without her... and she proposed to me once again after she left me in during the arranged wedding a long time ago. "
" We understand of what you are truly feel with, Master Judai-san. Besides, Carrina-san was falling in love to you despite of her brokenhearted past after Mino's death. " Jerry stated
" Thanks, Jerry. " I said, with a smile
" No problem at all, Master. " Jerry said, did the same way as I did
And I still hold the necklace, through my hand.
(Flashback Ends)
(No POV (Point of View))
(Return back at the present)
Judai, was saddened in devastation of Carrina's " death ". Asuka went approached to him.
She kneeled down, tapped both of her hands on his shoulder, said " Don't cry just like that, Judai. We are all still here for you. "
He turned his head, facing to her, with a surprise expression on his face " Asuka? Why are you came here? "
" Well... I have to explained that to you later. But for now, you should stopped crying. It was unsuited for a strong gentleman duelist just like you. " Asuka said, wiped his tears through her handkerchief
Desirus and Johanna were surprised when they saw Asuka helping him. Jerry, was standing beside Manjoume, said to them " Asuka-san was a strong, helpful and well determined lady. She was the most beautiful lady in the entire Obelisk Blue in Duel Academia. She was called " The Queen of the Blues ". "
" Queen of the Blues, huh? I'm not surprised. " Johanna said, wrapped both of her arms around her chest
As Asuka wiped his tears through her handkerchief, Judai said to her " Thanks, Asuka... for cheering me up. "
" No problem, is because we are best friends, right? I don't want to see you lonely and suffered just like that. " Asuka said
" Thanks for the concern, Asuka. But first... " and Judai stand up, turned his back away from her
Asuka, stand up again, asked him " Where are you going? "
" I must get something from the room. I'll be back in a minute. " Judai answered and he runs off
This makes Asuka was get started to concerned about him.
" Do you think he will be just okay, Jerry-kun? " Manjoume asked Jerry, in a whispered tone manner
" I'm not so sure... but maybe... he need to spend time alone... " Jerry uttered, in a low tone voice, so that he can't say so very loudly in front of them
Meanwhile, instead of going back inside of the palace, Judai was going instead in the forest nearby, sat on a huge rock and then he nodded his head, placed both of his arms on his knees, crying in anguish.
" Carrina-sama... I know that you can hear my voice from afar... I wished that you should come back here to me... please... " went continued crying with strong anguish
But suddenly, an evil laughter was heard, calling him " You really missed my younger sister a lot, don't you, Mr Judai Yuki? "
Surprise by the voice, he stand up, with a frightened expression on his face, said " No way... it couldn't be... "
The mysterious person came out from the trees. It was no other than Marga, making him to be shocked in horror.
" Marga-san?! Why are you doing here?! "
" Oh, so very obvious, isn't it, my dear. I just heard you crying is because you had heard that my sister was dead in the battle. So that why I came here. And of course... "
She slowly stepped forward to him while Judai stepped his back away from her.
" No! Stay away from me! I don't want to come with you ever! My heart is belonged only to Carrina-sama and nothing else, got it?! "
" Aww.. you are so very cold hearted and stubborn as I thought were. Even though that my sister was already gone for good, you will be belonged to me, as my future husband. " with lustful amusement on her face
" I will never! even you are trying to attempt to seduced me or to rape me, still... I will never go with an evil sucked blooded vampire just like you.. " with a little gritted mad expression on his face
Driven by anger and insanity, she grabbed his red jacket through her hand, gripply, pulled him to hers, forcefully.
" Agh! Let go of me! " as he tried to pushed back away from her
" You will never run away from me now.. soon... you will be mine forever.. " went to his face, tried to kissed him on the neck
But suddenly, the voice of Asuka was heard.
" Leave Judai alone, you evil vampire goddess! "
Judai, was surprised when he heard her voice, turned his head away from her, saw her from the nearer distance, along with Jerry and the others.
" Asuka! "
Marga, was unimpressed when she saw her, said with amusement " So.. an another fella, eh? You had dare to get in my evil plans, huh? "
" Leave Judai alone or else I will destroyed you! " Asuka shouted, released her duel disk
" Sis! Release him at once! " Desirus commanded
" You have no right to hurt him just like last time. Just leave this kingdom, now. " Johanna said
" Oh, my... you dare to throw me out? Well, I will never... unless he was belonged to me. " Marga said, with furious expression on her face
And she grabbed Judai, putting him on behind of her back.
Jerry, Manjoume and Kindaichi were shocked.
" Master! " Jerry shouted
Marga flied away from them, said " You will never stopped me! My sister will no longer here anymore and this young man will be mine forever! " with a burst of evil laughter
" I won't let you! " Asuka said and she summoned her ace monster " I need you, Cyber Prima!! "
Cyber Prima came out. The vegetarian vampires were surprised of what they had saw.
" Alright! She brought forth her ace monster, Cyber Prima. " Jerry said
" What kind of monster creature was that? " Desirus asked Manjoume
" It was called Duel Monsters. " Manjoume said in response
" Duel Monsters, huh? Not bad... " Desirus said, turned his head back
" Cyber Prima! Attack that evil vampire goddess directly, with your Wind Fury Tornado Attack! " Asuka shouted
Cyber Prima used her attack against her.
" What the? " Marga wondered in surprise

Asuka was surprised of what he had said " You... as a target?! But how it was happened? "
Desirus, stepped forward in, said to her " I will explained everything when we get back to the castle. You have to healed Mr Judai's wound first. "
" Oh, okay... " Asuka uttered, turned her head away, facing back to Judai, said to him " Next time, don't go in some farther places all by yourself. You need someone to assist you or else you will get hurt again. "
