Chapter 4

It's been a year since Rose and Kori lived with their new families, Rose fitted in her family after about a day with spending time with them. Rose also figured out that Yuzu and her had a lot in common.

Kori on the other hand was having quite the opposite effect. While the Sakaki family did their absolute best to make sure Kori felt at home he only distanced himself from everyone and hardly spoke… well more than he usually does, and while Rose did try to get Kori to know everyone a bit better it just ended up pointless in the end as everyday became a routine to Kori.

Wake up, breakfast, school if it was a weekday and Straight to You Show Duel School if it was a weekend, stay there for a couple hours, food if he felt like it, shower and then sleep.

This day was no exception as he followed that exact pattern up to going to You Show Duel School which is where we join him now.

Kori entered the duel school listening to see if anyone was in and luckily enough as it was a Saturday, so no one was. Which left the whole building to himself.

Entering the Solid System's control room Kori threw the rucksack he was carrying to the side and messed around with the settings so that a sort of Rocky Mountain area materialised on to the Action Field in the next room.

"Everything looks all clear...yup, all fine." Just as Kori finished checking the last couple of settings he took off his hoodie and threw it where his bag was revealing that he was wearing a slightly baggy white vest before he entered the action field and stood in the middle on top the small mountain in the middle of the arena.

Taking in a deep breath Kori raised his arms up slightly before clenching his hands into fists causing sparks of electricity to create some form of aura around Kori.

Meanwhile with Rose, she was looking around for Kori, she was wanting to spend sometime with him. Rose looked nearly in all of his secret spots, but expect You Show Duel School.

When Rose got to her dad's duel school, she walked inside and looked around the building until she spotted Kori in the Action Field with sparks in his hands.

"What the hell is he doing?" Rose whispered to herself, while watching what Kori was doing.

Kori started to look as if he was straining and more sparks were flying around him getting bigger and more frequent and some hitting the rocks around and below him.

"Picture it stabilizing, picture it stabilizing, picture it stabilizing…" Kori chanted to himself, as the electricity slowly started to go into his body instead of around it until no sparks left and his hair was completely stood up into spikes and his eyes were glowing.

"Ugh… that's always the worst part." Kori muttered to himself, as the focused electricity went through his body and into his muscles making them stand out slightly so it looked as if they didn't look right at all for his age.

Without thinking, Rose ran into the Action Field and running towards Kori.

"Kori!" Rose shouted his name.

As Rose ran in one of the big piles of rocks became loose thanks to Kori's outburst and toppled over to the side where Rose was.

"ROSE!" Kori yelled, as he saw Rose enter where the rocks were gonna fall, causing Rose to scream and she froze in fear.

Almost out of instinct Kori ran to Rose in an attempt to save her yet something seemed off. Kori was way too fast now.

He rushed to Rose picked her up and leapt out of the way so that they were out of harm's reach.

'Okay...so the speed is new' Kori thought to himself, as he looked down at Rose as he was carrying her in a bridal position as it was the fastest way to pick her up, Kori gained a light blush however when he noticed that Rose had put her arms around him out of fear and instinct.

Rose looked up at Kori with a blush of her own, her eyes met with his and they stayed like that for a couple minutes until Rose spoke.

"I was looking everywhere for you and why were you using static? You know what happens when you use it!" Rose yelled at Kori, as she got out of his arms.

"I know...but I want to control it, I mean did you just see what I did?!"

"You could've killed yourself!" Rose yelled back.

"But I saved you! That alone is worth it!"

"I know, but…" Rose said looking away from Kori.

"If you think think this is unstable it's not, I've been practicing this for almost a year now."

"Wait, a year! Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep this to yourself?" Rose asked him upset.

"Because of this! I knew you would worry like this!... And I was going to tell you, I swear I was but I just wanted to be able to have a grasp on this form first."

"I...see..." Rose said slowly understanding.

"Rose, what's wrong? Tell me how I can make this up to you."

"How about a duel?" Rose asked with a small smile.

"Sure let me get my duel disk from the control room." Kori replied dashing of out of the arena and coming back in less than ten seconds later.

"No holding back either." Rose said activating her duel disk. Her duel disk was blue and the blade was a lighter shade of blue.

"Fine by me." Kori smirked activating his own duel disk.

"DUEL!"

Turn 1

Kori: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"I'll start! I place one monster face down defence mode and place 2 cards face down and end my turn." Rose said.

Turn 2

Kori: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"My turn, draw! From my hand I special summon White Phantom Wandering Wisp! (Level 2 ATK: 100 DEF: 0)" Kori slammed the card down onto his duel disk making a small baby ghost that looked like fire appear in front of him causing Rose to gush over the little monster.

"Aww, he's so cut." Rose said causing Kori to sweatdrop.

"Err...right...This little guy can be special summoned when I have no monsters on the field, and when he is summoned successfully I can add 1 Phantom monster to my hand next turn. I set three cards face down and end my turn."

Turn 3

Kori: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"I Draw!" Rose said, drawing her card.

"Now, I play Polymerization, I fuse my three Blue-Eyes from my hand. I Fusion Summon! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!(Level 12 Atk/4500 Def/3800)" Rose said, as dragon with three heads, white scales and blue eyes appeared on her field.

"Now, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack White Phantom Wandering Wisp!" Rose said, as Kori's monster got destroyed.

"I activate the Trap Phantom Flock Shield! When a level 4 or lower Phantom monster is destroyed all damage battle is negated and will for the rest of the turn and the destroyed monster is summoned back with all other copies of that monster in my hand, deck or grave!" Kori shouted, as his destroyed monster protected him from the blast and then split into three Wandering Wisps.

"I end my turn." Rose said.

Turn 4

Kori: 4000 LP

Rose: 4000 LP

"My turn, draw! And from my hand I activate the spell card Phantom For a Phantom which allows me to special summon one Phantom tuner monster from my deck in exchange I send one Phantom monster from my hand to the grave." Kori stated, as he took one card from his hand showing it before sending it to the graveyard and drew a card from his deck with a slight pulse of electricity before slamming it on his duel disk.

"I send White Phantom Dragon to the grave to special summon White Phantom Lightning Lizard! (Level 2 Tuner, ATK:500 DEF:200)"

"Now I tune my Level 2 Lightning Lizard with my 3 Level 2 Wandering Wisps…" Instead of Kori's lizard turning into two rings it just jumped into the air and went see through so that the other monsters turned into little orbs of light that Lightning Lizard absorbed.

"Synchro Summon! Appear level 8 White Lightning Dragon! (ATK: 2500 DEF: 0)" Kori yelled, as he jumped in the air with the large light caused from the summon happening behind him.

Kori's dragon definitely looked intimidating as it was a long winding dragon with electricity covering it all over and it also didn't help that Kori was standing on top of his dragon making him look intimidating.

"White Lightning Dragon's effect activates when it's successfully sum-" Kori's effect statement was cut short, as he passed out mid effect losing his static form and falling off his dragon into a large pile of debris with a loud thud.

"KORI!" Rose yelled, as she deactivated her duel disk and ran over to Kori.

Rose arrived next to Kori to see him laid face down, Rose looked down at Kori with worry, before turning him over horrified to see that Kori had a large cut across his right eye, blood slowly pouring out the cut.

Rose covered her mouth from seeing the blood pour out.

"Oh, God. I need to get you to a hospital." Rose said in a slight panic.

Rose used her duel pad to ring the hospital and have them bring a ambulance to the You Show Duel School.

Before the ambulance arrived, Rose called Yoko and told her what happened and where they were, so she could go with Kori in the ambulance.

As Yoko got to the school, the ambulance arrived and rushed into the school with a stretcher. A few minutes later, the first aid people came out with Kori in the stretcher and into the ambulance.

Yoko and Rose went up to the first aid people and they were looking over Kori's cut, when they heard footsteps going up to them, they turned to Yoko and Rose.

"How is he?" Yoko asked them.

"Are you the mother of this child?" the first of the first aid people asked.

"Yes, I am." Yoko said to him.

"He should be fine, but he will need stitches to close the cut and might get a scar once it's healed and his heartrate is through the roof." the second of the first aid people said.

"Thank goodness..." Rose said with a sigh of relief.

"We would like to get him to the hospital to stitch he up, if you are alright with that?" the second first aid person asked Yoko.

"Yes, do what you need to." Yoko said to them.

"Would you like to ride with your son?" the first one of the first aid people asked Yoko.

"Yes, I would like too and I would like if Rose comes too." Yoko said, as she looked at Rose.

"I don't see why not." the second one said, as he let both Yoko and Rose sit at the back of ambulance with Kori.

As they were on the way to the hospital, Rose was holding Kori's hand the whole time.

They arrived at the hospital a couple minutes later, Kori was carried into the hospital on the stretcher and into one of the operate rooms.

An Hour later

Yoko and Rose were waiting in the waiting room. A doctor came up to them.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Sakaki, I would like to talk to you." the doctor said to Yoko.

"Alright, I will be back Rose." Yoko said to Rose, as she walked with the doctor.

"Is Kori alright?" Yoko asked the doctor.

"He's going to be fine, besides having a scar once healed but he will be good." The doctor said with a smile.

"Thank goodness, if I may, can Rose and I see him now?" Yoko asked the doctor.

"Yes, you may. Just follow me when you're ready." The doctor said.

"Rose, we're going now to see Kori now." Yoko said, as she walked up to Rose and grabbed her hand.

Rose gave a smile, they both followed the doctor to Kori's room. Once in front of Kori's room, the doctor left.

Rose opened the door and walked inside alongside Yoko, Rose spotted Kori on the bed and ran up to him.

Rose and Yoko both grabbed chairs, so they could sit besides his bed and keep an eye on him.

Just as they sat down, Kori started to stir out of his sleep.

"Kori, you're awake. You made us worry." Rose said to him.

"Ugh… what happened? Where are we?"

"You are in a hospital and you fell off your dragon when you were dueling." Yoko said to Kori.

"Rose, what happened during the duel, I can't remember anything after I drew my card."

"You summoned White Lightning Dragon, as you were saying what the effect was, then you stopped mid sentence and fell off your dragon and injured yourself and blackedout." Rose explained to Kori.

"Rose… I don't have a monster called White Lightning Dragon."

"Well, you Synchro summon it in our duel." Rose said.

"And please don't tell me my eye is gone." Kori asked, as he raised his hand to feel the bandages around his right eye.

"No. You didn't, but you will have a scar though." Yoko said to him.

"Here's hoping it looks cool." Kori laughed crossing his fingers.

Yoko and Rose laughed with him.

"It probably will." Rose said.

"Is that you telling him you like guys with scars, Rose?" Yoko teased causing Rose to blush.

"Maybe…" Rose said making her blush a little darker.

"Oh you hear that Kori?" Yoko asked causing Rose to panic a little.

"Huh? What was that?" Kori asked completely oblivious, as he was looking through his deck and had zoned out.

"It's n-nothing." Rose said with a small stutter and was still with a light blush on her face.

"Okay th- Here they are!" Kori exclaimed holding two of his cards in his right hand.

"What did you find?" Rose asked Kori.

"Out of my entire deck I never put these two cards in my deck: White Lightning Dragon and White Phantom Lightning Lizard."

"Well, that's cool." Rose said smiling.

"Wow, and White Lightning Dragon is really powerful too, god damn."

"I will leave you two alone, while I call your father and let him know where we are." Yoko said, as she walked out of the room.

"Hey, thanks for looking out for me Rose."

"It's fine, I'm just glad you're okay." Rose said with a blush on her face again.

"No really I mean it, thank you Rose." Kori said in a slightly quieter voice which sounded a little lower making Rose's blush darken even more.

"Your welcome, I guess..." Rose said blush still on her face, as she put her hands together in her lap and she fidgeted slightly.

A small spark of electricity made Kori's hair spike up, but before Rose could say anything Kori just leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

Rose was shocked at first but leaned forward and deepened the kiss.

Kori attempted to pull Rose towards him, but unfortunately for both of them Kori passed out and fell back onto his bed with his hair going back down to normal.

Rose's blush turned the darkest red and looked at Kori with smile.

'I hope we can do that again' Rose thought, but was out of her thoughts when Yoko came in the room with Yuya, her dad and Yuzu.

"Ooooo you look red Rose, what happened?" Yoko teased Rose noticing her blush.

"N-Nothing happened..." Rose stuttered.

"That grin says otherwise." Yoko smirked.

"What grin?" Rose asked confused.

"It's girl's instinct Rose. I think I have an idea of why you're so red."

"You do…" Rose said nervously.

"Oh yeah."

"Okay... what do you think happened?" Rose asked Yoko.

"Maybe there's the possibility that Kori finally kis-" Before Yoko could finish Rose stopped her from saying the obvious in front of everyone.

"Um… just stop right there." Rose said to Yoko.

Kori started to groan a little and shuffled in his bed causing Yuya to run to his brother's bed side.

"Kori, are you okay?!"

"Don't worry Yuya, he will be fine." Rose said to Yuya, even though he still looked a little worried.

"Plus your older brother is gonna have cool scar now." Yoko stated making Yuya lose all worry in his face.

"Wow, really!" Yuya said.

"Yeah and he's apparently gained some new cards so you might even see your big brother duel."

"We should leave now and let Kori rest." Shuzo said.

"Yeah that would be for the best." Yoko said back.

"If it's okay, can I stay with Kori for the night?" Rose asked.

"Oh, of course it is, sweetie."

"I guess, I will see you guys tomorrow in the morning." Rose said, as she hugged her father.

"Yeah, see you in the morning, my little flower." Shuzo said, as everyone was leaving the room.

"Ugh… finally, I hate fake sleeping." Kori said sitting up from his bed.

Rose just laughed and turned to Kori.

"Well, half of that was fake sleeping, I actually passed out earlier. Sorry about that."

"It's fine, but your mother is a little crazy." Rose said.

"I know what you mean, I been avoiding almost everyone and she was still crazy."

Rose giggled from that.

"I'm glad my dad isn't like that." Rose said.

"Oh really? What about the my little flower, huh?" Kori asked in a voice trying to make fun of what her father said.

"Oh, shut up..." Rose said with a small blush.

"Then make me." Kori said in a lower voice.

Rose leaned towards Kori and kissed him on the lips with Kori kissing back and putting his hands on her waist to move her closer and deepen the kiss.

They stayed like that for a couple minutes and as air was becoming a problem, they parted from the kiss, breathing heavily.

"That was amazing." Rose said, still catching her breathe.

"I aim to please."

"I can see that." Rose said, as she gave him a smile.

"So, I'm guessing we're a thing now?"

"I guess, you could say that." Rose said giving Kori a little peck on the lips.

"Since when were you so into me?" Kori asked teasingly.

"When you first came to the orphanage." Rose said with a small blush.

"Well, you're not alone there." Kori smiled back at her.

"I love you, Kori." Rose said.

"I love you too, Rose." Kori smiled putting his hand on Rose's cheek cupping it.

Rose leaned into the touch and looked up at Kori with a smile.

"You're so beautiful you know that."

"I'm not that beautiful..." Rose said, as she blushed at the comment.

"To me you are."

"Thanks Kori." Rose said, as she leaned forward and gave another kiss on the lips, but this one more passionate than the others.

Kori dominated the kiss very quickly and flipped their positions so Rose was on the hospital bed and he was hovering above her.

Rose ran her tongue over Kori's bottom lip to ask for permission which Kori gladly gave.

Rose explored every inch of Kori's mouth with her tongue while Kori did the same with her's.

Eventually they were in a tongue battle which Kori won easily causing Rose to moan a little.

To deepen the kiss Rose pulled Kori's hair lightly and which wouldn't hurt him.

All the while Kori put his right hand on Rose's hip while he moved his left hand on her lower back mentally grinning, as he sent a very small shock of electricity up Rose's spine to make her shiver in pleasure.

Rose moaned into his mouth, as she was enjoying the pleasure.

Kori continued to send shocks up her spine as they continued to kiss making sure he never did the same shock pattern twice so Rose kept experiencing the same amount of pleasure.

Rose pulled back from the kiss as she need air, Rose looked at Kori with lust in her eyes.

"You like my little trick there..."

"Yeah, I did..." Rose said.

"Good, then how about I make it better." Kori smirked sending even more shocks, but this time slightly more powerful driving Rose insane at how amazing it felt.

"Kori..." Rose moaned his name.

Teasing her Kori stopped the shocks leaving Rose above him slightly shaking looking at him with pleading and lustful eyes.

"Why... did you stop?" Rose asked Kori.

"Too see what you'll do to get that feeling back."

Rose sat up and pushed Kori onto the bed, Rose started to suck on his neck, which sent pleasure through Kori's body.

"...Still... Not enough, Rose." Kori said trying his hardest not to moan.

Rose trailed her hand down to Kori's lower region and started to rub his member through the clothes that he was wearing.

"Ahhh...shit that'll do it." Kori moaned, as he started to send shocks back up Rose's spine.

Rose stopped with what she was doing and just enjoyed the pleasure she was receiving.

Kori continued to give Rose shocks while he now started kiss and suck on Rose's neck and collarbone.

"Kori…" Rose moaned his name again.

Kori started kiss lower bit by bit until Rose's shirt stopped him from going any lower.

"I think… we should stop… before we go too far..." Rose said in between moans.

"You're right… we should stop there…. I mean we're not exactly at a legal age yet… but we will in less than 2 years..." Kori said smirking at Rose.

"Yeah." Rose said with a smile.

"We should get some sleep." Rose said, as she was looking at the clock on the wall.

"I guess we should."

Just as Rose was about to hop off the bed, Kori grabbed her hand to stop her.

"What? I was just going to sleep in the chair next to the bed." Rose said with a confused look.

"This bed does have enough room for you to snuggle next to me."

"Are you sure?" Rose asked wanting to make sure.

"One hundred percent."

"Alright." Rose said, as she climbed under the covers.

"Night Rose, I love you."

"I love you too, Kori." Rose said, as she fell asleep with her head on his chest.
