I've finally completely rewritten this chapter.

After that my PC broke, I had to send it to someone who can repair it... and he broke two days after.

I had to wait two months to get a new one.

And this without talking about a rest that I had to take because of my health.

Anyways, enjoy this chapter!

Hot duel

"Damn it" complained a mature voice of a man that appears to be in his late thirties, he was wearing a dark blue costume as a black vest was underneath it, and he was wearing a white tie, and to end things, he was wearing brown shoes.

"And here I thought that sending a mercenary to make her sign it was the best idea, looks like it was simply a waste of time" he added before seeing a woman in formal cloths entering.

"Sir, your guests had arrived" she informed him while bowing.

The man nodded and Amnael, with Doll Face, entered the office.

"It's nice to finally meet in person, Julian Kranos" said Amnael before adding "Or should I call you, the Titan of Time?"

Julian narrowed his eyes "Who are you?"

"As much as I would like to answer you, I have some reasons not to" replied Amnael "However, I know that you want a specific card, to realize your dreams, and I can help you with it"

"Where's the catch?" asked Julian "And how do you know about us… those who lived before?"

Amnael chuckled then said "I take that you are interested in the matter, how about we speak about it… in private"

Julian smirked before turning his face into a distorted evil smile "Well then my good sir, you have my full attention" he then closed the door with a key.

In Duel Academy.

It was 6 AM, Shizuku was waiting in the docks with a half asleep Sky. She told Alexis that the boat will come to pick them early in the morning. Yet, she's not here, Shizuku could only sigh at that. She then began to imagine the reason why she's late, the first thing that came in her mind was that she's still asleep, she then imagined her sleeping, helpless, adorable… and she couldn't help to control it, but the temperature around her began to rise, which made Sky to feel more sleepy.

"Sorry for being late" said the voice of Alexis, startling Shizuku and waking Sky a little.

"Good morning…" said a half asleep Sky.

Shizuku poured water on her head, making it dry as soon as the water touched her head since the vapor was visible.

"Are you okay?" asked Alexis with concern.

"Y-yeah! Everything's fine" replied Shizuku "Just a little… excited?"

"You are worrying me" said Alexis with a sigh "stop hiding whatever you have and divulge what's hurting you"

"I'm telling you, I'm fine" replied Shizuku "It's just that I don't know how to react"

Alexis was about to say something when a boat was heard coming.

There was an elderly man in it, he waved to Shizuku, who did the same.

"It's good to see you again young Miss" said the man as he bowed to Shizuku he then turned to the other girl "Please, allow me to present myself" he said before bowing elegantly "My name is Croquet, right hand of Master Pegasus" The other girls proceeded to present themselves and got in the boat "Please, lend me your luggage".

The girls looked at each other before passing their sacs to the elder man.

"You know what to do, right?" asked Shizuku before earning a nod from the old man.

"What's going on?" asked Sky as she jumped on the boat.

"I don't know" replied Alexis while narrowing her eyes "Knowing her, she may try to hide it"

"Let's ask her then" said Sky innocently, shocking the three other girls, as she went to Shizuku "Hey Shizu, what are you going to do?"

"Something personal" replied Shizuku.

"I see…" said Sky before returning to Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine "She said that's a personal thing"

"You know Sky, you are really courageous" commented Alexis with a sweatdrop making the said girl tilting her head with confusion.

It took them some times before that they reached land. From there, they got into a rather impressive car that took them to the city of Kyoto.

"We've arrived young Miss" said Croquet while opening the door of the car.

When the four girls exited the car, they saw a normal house… too normal to be related to Maximillion Pegasus… where were they?

"Hey Shizu, where are we?" asked Sky with curiosity.

"My home" replied Shizuku as she opened the door "There's something that I need to do first, and there's also the fact that my brothers still need time to regroup. In the meanwhile, we will stay here"

As they entered, Sky noticed a picture of a younger version of Shizuku, a picture where she was with a couple and the picture of Shizuku with a silver haired kid.

"Woah!" said both Mindy and Jasmine with awe as they eyed every corner of the living room.

"Welcome to my home" said Shizuku before going to the freezer and took something out "Make yourself comfortable, I'll go buy something to make lunch"

"I'll help you" said Alexis while approaching the girl 'Maybe I can find something about her'

'I-I-Is that a date?!' thought Shizuku as she began to blush 'N-No! Bring yourself together Shizuku. She's simply offering you help'

"A-Alright, let's go" said Shizuku while opening the front door.

After that the both girls exited the home, Jasmine and Mindy nodded to each other before exploring the entire house, they may find something interesting about their mysterious friend, meanwhile, Sky was stuck on the couch as she felt asleep.

"So… you used to live here?" asked Alexis as she was walking alongside Shizuku.

"Oh… euh yeah!" replied Shizuku "Well, I was living here until-" she didn't had time to complete as the sound of a boy grabbed her attention.

"Hey! Shizuku!" he called.

"Oh, hey Shinji" replied Shizuku in her monotone voice, the boy in general appeared to be normal, the only thing that was unique on him was the black leather vest on him, and on the vest was the logo of a lotus flower surrounded by two long swords.

"I didn't know that you're back" said the boy while smiling "I heard that you enrolled in Duel Academy, bet that you pass your time in the library"

"I do go there from time to time" replied Shizuku "Beside, knowledge is power"

"That the Shizuku I know" said the boy with a laugh "Glad to see that you didn't changed"

"How about we pass all the sweet talk and you say your real motives" said Shizuku with a stern look "Knowing you, you talk like that only when you want something"

After laughing nervously, Shinji said "You see… we got a request from a VIP, he said that he will host a party and wants us to play in it as the main group"

"Sorry but I can't" replied Shizuku with a sad sigh "You know that playing in public is now impossible for me"

"I see…" said the boy, still smiling but not too excited with it, he then noticed Alexis "Who's that beauty here"

"That Alexis Rhodes" replied Shizuku "One of the top duelists in the dorm" she then turned to Alexis "Alexis, that Shinji Ikaru, the head and the guitarist of a band I was member of"

"Nice to meet you" said Alexis as she handed her right hand.

"Same here angelic beauty" replied Shinji while shaking Alexis's hand.

"If you excuse us, we have some things to do" said Shizuku with some irritation.

"It was nice seeing you again" said Shinji before walking away.

"You didn't told us that you were a member of a band" said Alexis while looking at Shizuku with astonishment.

"That's… a sensible subject, sorry if I won't talk about it a lot" said Shizuku as she appeared to feel a lot of sorrow about the subject.

Alexis was silent a moment before asking "So… what are we going to buy?"

Shizuku began to think a little before saying "Mostly vegetables, maybe fish, after all fish is really good at this time of year"

Sky was in a green field, the place was breathtaking. She turned left and right, and saw only endless green lands.

"Where Am I?" wondered the blue haired girl as she began to walk.

"Fire!" yelled a voice as a volley of arrows was thrown toward a person, the person was standing there, before that a burst of fire exploded from them "Dammit"

"Pathetic" said a feminine voice that sounded very familiar to Sky. The figure appeared to wear a golden armor and was wielding a spear.

"Why does she sound like big sis Shizu…?" wondered Sky as she tried to get near, only to get stopped by an invisible wall.

"You shouldn't be alive!" yelled a distorted voice "Everyone possess only one chance! You are going to regret that, witch!"

Sky awoke sweating as she felt like death was pulling her away from the living world. And that version of Shizuku was also something that was worrying her.

"You're awake" said Shizuku, making sky to jump "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yes, I'm alright" replied Sky "I was just startled"

"Sorry about that" said Shizuku before taking a kitchen knife and began to cut some vegetables "Lunch is near ready"

Sky took a look around and noticed that Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine weren't there.

'Now that's awkward' thought Sky as she began to stare at Shizuku 'I don't know how I'm supposed to feel'

Shizuku sighed and said "Are you going to give that stare forever or what?"

Sky stared a bit more before asking "Who are you?"

Shizuku simply stared back, shocked by the stupidity of the question "You're not serious, are you?"

"I saw you with a gold armor" said Sky as Shizuku widened her eyes before returning to her normal face before turning to face Sky.

"And you saw me fighting?" she asked sarcastically.

"Yes!" replied Sky sounding serious before… "And you were so cool! You threw flames like that fhooo and then you use a burst of fire to destroy bunch of arrow! Now I want to be like you more than before!" now she sounded exited.

"Sky… are you alright?" asked Shizuku with worries.

"Of course that I'm alright!" replied Sky, hyped.

"Do you really think that I can control fire?" asked Shizuku, even if she knows that she can't use her ancient powers anymore.

"Euh… well…" Sky began to remember something that happened to Shizuku concerning fire, but couldn't find anything to help her "So… it was just a dream…?"

'That was a close one' thought Shizuku as she turned back to continue preparing their lunch 'I must make sure that no one know of my past life… until they're ready to hear the answer'

Some minutes later, the three other girls were coming toward the kitchen, allured by the smell that was coming from the cooking spot as they saw the main table with plates and some silverware… and a drooling Sky. The blue haired girl had her eyes on whatever Shizuku was cooking, locked like an eagle on its prey.

"What are you preparing?" asked Alexis as she took a place.

"Curry with rice and fried fish with some dried vegetables" replied Shizuku as she was putting white rice on a plate.

"Food Food Food Food Food Food Food…" Sky began to mumble as more saliva was appearing.

"It's me… or does Sky appear to be a little bit more creepy than usual" said Mindy with worries.

"It does smell good" replied Alexis as she saw Shizuku pouring her curry sauce on the rice.

"Don't worry, I made enough for all of us" said Shizuku while adding the fish and the vegetables into the plates.

As soon as the lunch was served, Sky began to eat.

"Not bothering to wait us?" asked Alexis with a sweatdrop.

"Let's just enjoy our lunch" said Shizuku while taking a spoon.

The three other girls tasted their dish only to feel themselves flying in the sky and even touching the clouds… until they found themselves falling back to their seats. The three of them eyed their food and took another bite, only to get the same experience.

After the strange dinner, the girls decided to stay awake a little in the living room, sitting in a circle.

"So… what do we do now?" asked Sky.

"How about having Shizuku singing a little for us" suggested Alexis with an innocent smile.

"Huh?!" was everything that Shizuku could bring out of her mouth before seeing Sky leaning toward her with gleaming eyes "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked with a worried tone.

"Don't be that shy" said Alexis "Beside, with a voice like yours, I'm sure that it would be great"

"I… um…" Shizuku didn't know how to respond, she already was in a position like this, but didn't thought that it would happen again "I'm not sure that I can do it right"

Sky giggled and said "You're always cold and emotionless, except when you're with Alexis"

"T-That's not true" replied Shizuku.

"Yeah… you act more timid, and flustered" added Jasmine.

"K-Knock it off!" said Shizuku while looking away, before snapping and jumping at the girls.

"What are you doing?" asked Sky before that an explosion was heard.

"There was a big boom" said a male voice.

"Just take the girl" said another boyish voice before that a big hand grabbed Shizuku's leg and dragged her where she saw two figures, one was large and muscled man with red spiked hair with a black band in the left side and wore goggles on his eyes, he wore a green jacket over a red shirt and had black pants. The other was skinny with a red hooded jacket with a green military pants and black boots, his face being shadowed by the hood of the jacket.

"Who are you?!" yelled Alexis while taking a step back, as the other girls did.

"You can call us the Fire Brothers" said the skinny one "I'm Kasai and this is my brother, Kaji"

"What do we do now?" asked Kaji.

"We escape and make sure that the bitch sign the thing" answered Kasai.

"She's hot" commented Kaji while lifting the girl, the problem was the fact that she was wearing a skirt, and by lifting her, it showed her black underwear.

"Let me go you pervert!" yelled Shizuku before kicking the giant brut to the eye, breaking the glasses of the goggles and making him scream.

"She's though" commented Kasai before moving to console his brother "Don't worry, it will pass"

"But my eye is hurting me!" cried Kaji before hearing the sound of the siren of the police cars "Blue men are coming"

"We don't have a choice" mumbled Kasai before taking a darting gun and shot Alexis "Take that one"

Kaji nodded and walked to take the unconscious girl but was stopped when he saw Shizuku standing in his way "Get out of my way mean girl" he growled.

"Never" replied Shizuku before taking a part of the debris of the explosion to defend herself and her unconscious friend.

"Quickly!" yelled Kasai as he began to see the lights.

Kaji growled and charged toward Shizuku, who tried to stop him, but his muscle mass was too much that it broke her weapon like object. She instinctively jumped back, but she later realized her error as she saw Alexis being lifted by the giant brut.

"See you later" grinned Kasai before throwing a grenade at his feet, creating a flash.

At that moment, Shizuku felt it, the urge to kill, the urge to torture… the urge to give an agonizing death.

Later as the officers inspected the house, Shizuku was sitting silently before that a police officer went to her.

"You must be the owner of the propriety" he said "My name is Tohru Adachi, normally I would have introduced you to my partner, but he's not here for now"

"What do you want?" asked Shizuku coldly, looking at him with dead eyes.

"Whoa calm down little lady" replied the policeman "I'm just here to ask you some questions about what happened here"

Shizuku sighed as she already knew what kind of question are going to be asked to her.

In an abandoned warehouse, Kasai was putting some disinfecting tissue on his brother's eye.

"Stop moving will ya" complained Kasai as he tried to cover the eye.

"But it hurts!" cried Kaji as he was sitting in the ground.

"Stop being a baby" criticized Kasai.

"What will we do with her?" asked Kaji while looking at the direction of a tied Alexis.

"We'll send a letter to the bitch we're supposed to have here" answered Kasai while moving toward Alexis "We'll use this hot number as bait"

"How?"

"They're her friends" replied Kasai "They'll try to save her no matter what"

Kaji only nodded as Kasai began to snicker sinisterly.

In the ruined living room, the atmosphere wasn't too high as the four girls were waiting some sort of news from the policemen as they could see that there was some talks between them, but it was worrying them to a high point.

"What should we do…?" asked Sky with a depressed tone.

"I think that we should wait for them to find something" said Shizuku while looking at some men who were working hard before turning her gaze to a group who was laughing "But I don't think that they get something fast enough"

"So what are you suggesting?" asked Mindy.

"We go and search ourselves" answered Shizuku, earning gasps from the other girls.

"You can't be serious!" yelled Sky before noticing that she might have raised her voice a little too high and whispered "This is dangerous for us!"

"Danger or not, I'll go" said Shizuku before getting up "You're free to follow me, or to stay here"

Sky sighed and said "Do you even have any good idea on where they could be?"

Glancing at some blood on the floor she narrowed her eyes and said "Following the trail they left"

As she saw Shizuku leaving, Sky rushed to catch up to her, and the two other girls followed as well.

A little time later, the girls followed the drops of blood to an abandoned warehouse.

"Think this is it?" asked Mindy with a low voice.

"The trail of blood that we followed got us here" answered Shizuku before moving toward the building "We can't really go back now, it's now or ever" with that she made her way toward the entrance.

"W-Wait!" called Sky before following Shizuku.

Carefully, Shizuku opened the door and entered, followed by the other girls. They advanced slowly and with a careful step, until Shizuku stopped.

"I-I-Is something wrong?" whispered Sky with fear.

Shizuku only signed to keep the quiet as she was focusing on a single point and whispered to the others "We're not alone"

Before even realizing what's happening, the other girls were pushed by Shizuku as a metallic piece of metal fell on the place they were standing in.

"Not bad" they all turned and saw Kaji walking toward them "If you want to pass you'll need to beat me in a duel"

"You want a duel?" growled Shizuku as she activated her Duel Disk "Fine"

"You'll pay for my eye" said Kaji while activating his own Duel Disk.

"Duel!"

Shizuku: 4000

Kaji: 4000

"Me first" said Kaji while drawing a card "I summon Abaki in Attack Mode" a red demon armed with a mace appeared in the field.

Abaki (Level 4) 1700 / 1100

"I end"

"My turn then" said Shizuku while drawing a card "I summon Advancing soldier" with that, her military monster appeared.

Advancing Soldier (Level 4) 1700 / 1200

"And thanks to his Effect, I'm able to Special Summon another level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster. And I choose Lancer – Cu Chulainn" a blue haired man with a deep ultramarine full body tights covered in Runic protections, grey metallic pauldrons, and a metal plate over his lowest abdominal section, holding a red spear.

Lancer – Cu Chulainn (Level 4) 1900 / 0000

"And when he's summoned, I can target one monster with less Attack Points than him and destroy him, of course, using it would mean that I won't be attacking this turn" Cu Chulainn held his spear with both his hands before a humming sound was heard and the spear went and destroyed the red monster.

"You activate the Effect of Abaki" said Kaji with a smirk "We both take 500 damage"

Shizuku: 3500

Kaji: 3500

"Why doing this?" asked Sky "He also lowered his own Life Points"

"Maybe he have a plan" said Jasmine before adding "Or he's simply dumb"

"Advancing Soldier, get him with Infernal Barrage" ordered Shizuku, forcing the soldier to fire at Kaji.

Shizuku: 3500

Kaji: 1800

"I set one card and end my turn" said Shizuku while setting a card in the Spell / Trap area.

"Me now" said Kaji while taking a card "I use Monster Reborn and get Abaki back" with that, the red demon made another apparition "I send him away to get Fenghuang" a bird like creature with red and green feathers appeared.

Fenghuang (Level 6) 2100 / 1800

"Now your hidden card go boom" Fenghuang fired a fireball at the card, destroying it "Now soldier man go boom" this time Fenghuang fired at Advancing Soldier.

Shizuku: 3100

Kaji: 1800

"You're not bad" said Shizuku "But you forgot that at the end of your turn Fenghuang will return to your hand" after that those words were said, the bird like creature disappeared from the field "Now it's my turn" she took a card then said "I play Treaty Of Versail, It allow us both to draw two cards, but we'll have to send one to our deck" after taking two cards from the Deck and then putting one card before shuffling "I activate the Spell Card Pot Of Greed, then draw two more cards" Shizuku took more cards "I play Sacrifice Of The Warrior, by sending a monster from my Field to the Graveyard and send another monster from my hand to the Graveyard, and I'll be able to Special Summon a Warrior Type Monster from my hand, and I choose The Hitokiri" A masked bald woman with ancient Japanese cloths and having a battle-axe in her arms appeared.

The Hitokiri (Level 8) ? / ?

"That's a… creepy monster" commented Mindy.

"I now send all the cards in my hands to activate her Effect to gain 1000 for each card I sent to the Graveyard. And since I sent 3 The Hitokiri will gain 3000 Attack Points and Defense Points"

The Hitokiri (Level 8) 3000 / 3000

"Bad bad bad bad…" said Kaji with worry.

"Finish him Hitokiri" ordered Shizuku as The Hitokiri turned and made a salto before bringing the axe down violently at the muscled man.

Shizuku: 100

Kaji: 0000

"Wait, why did you also get damaged?" asked Sky.

"The drawback of using Hitokiri" explained Shizuku "When I attack, I don't only attack my opponent, but I also get the attack" she then deactivated her Duel Disk "Let us move"

The girls moved toward a door and opened it.

"Finally you've arrived" said Kasai while clapping "I was about to pass time with her" he then pointed a tied Alexis "But thankfully you-"

Before he could continue, he was knocked out by Shizuku as she was glaring at him.

"Get up" she growled "I've just tickled you"

"Y-Y-Y-You just hit me in the face" said Kasai with fear in his voice, with his hood down, revealing a brown hair and dark blue eyes "You hit me in my face!"

"I can do worse" said Shizuku while lifting him by his collar.

"Shizu please stop!" yelled Sky while holding her arm.

Shizuku simply glared at the boy and said "You're not worth the effort of beating" she then pushed him, making him trip.

"She appears to be alright" said Jasmine after checking on Alexis.

"Let's call Officer Tohru and let him handle this" suggested Mindy.

Some minutes later, both Kaji and Kasai were in a police car.

"Talk about boldness of the youth" said Adachi with a smile.

"What is going to happen to them?" asked Sky.

"They're wanted all over the country, but it doesn't mean that we will deal with them" answered Adachi "We will transfer them to a high security prison and make sure that they stay there until their trial" with that he waved good-bye to the girls and got into the car.

"I guess that is what drunk people feels when they drink a lot" said Alexis while waking up.

Surprised by it the four girls turned to her, "Are you okay?" asked Jasmine with Mindy as she rushed to the waking girl.

"Yeah I'm-" replied Alexis before being tackled by a sobbing Sky.

"I-I-I was so worried!" She said while crying.

Alexis only chuckled nervously while patting her head.

In the police car. Adachi, along a female police officer were driving the two wanted criminals.

"I hate brats" said Adachi with venom in his voice, he then closed his eyes before reopening them giving to himself yellow eyes "I thought that you were told to get the other girl"

"She was tough to capture" replied Kasai.

"My mask please" said the woman as Adachi passed a yellow envelope to the woman who opened it and put on the mask that was in it.

"By the way, are you sure that you know where they are now, Doll Face?" asked Adachi.

"Amnael sent me the emplacement of our next friend" replied Doll Face.

"What are you talking about?" asked Kasai.

"Shut it you shitty brat!" yelled Adachi before turning on the Radio *Play Beast In Black – Hell For All Eternity* "Now I feel better"

"You're weird" commented Doll Face.

"Just shut it and drive" replied Adachi.

"Where are you taking us?" asked Kasai.

"Somewhere…" replied Doll Face.

"I really wish I could just do like before" complained Adachi.

The music stopped and Doll Face turned off the engine of the car, "We're here" she said.

Adachi got out and opened the door at the rear while saying "Get out, we're goin' for a little walk in the forest"

"I'm going to get those cloths off" said Doll Face while moving behind a tree.

"Girls…" said Adachi while going in the other way before that he turned to the two boys "Don't try to peek, she'll cut your heads off before that you can capture the image that you want"

After a while walking, they arrived in front of Amnael, the armored woman, Julian, a devil-like boy and a young girl with light brown hair and a stripped yellow and green cloths.

"They're here, good" said Amnael before nodding to the armored woman who nodded back and walked to Kaji before killing him *As much as I would like to go on the details, I'm restricted to the rating of the story. And if you read this after that I've changed the rating, please understand*.

"Good" said Amnael, while Kasai was screaming, before watching as the blood began to go in a sculpted stone that formed a fanged mask before that a coffin came out of the earth, it opens and revealed a man with unkempt blonde hair with terrifying fangs, wearing a yellow jacket with a tight black tank-top underneath, as well as yellow chaps with an exposed crotch. On his head was a green heart-shaped circlet to match his knee guards.

"I'm finally awake" said the man "And I need to drink something"

Amnael chuckled and said "That's why we brought the other one as well"

Kasai stared with horror at the man before running away. Amnael sighed and said "Chara, bring him back… alive" the young girl smiled wildly and her eyes gleamed with a red color before running toward the escaping boy "How about we talk in the meantime"

Yeah... more known people, and unknown ones are gonna be here.

Also, I don't know why, but I'm hyped that Adachi is in BBCTB.
