Chapter 6
"Kori, wake up!" Kori was startled awake by the voice of what seemed to be his mother.
Kori looked to his side to see that Rose was still snuggling up to him listening to his heartbeat and also having one of her arms sprawled across Kori's chest
'Oh this is gonna fun' Kori thought to himself, trying to move a little bit only to hugged tighter by Rose
After several failed attempts Kori finally managed to get free and he got Rose to keep hugging the pillow he was sleeping on instead of him. Kori quickly picked up some underwear and jeans and put them on and made his way downstairs.
"I see that you two had some fun, last night." Yoko said with a smirk.
"Last night… wait… we slept through dinner?! Dammit!" Kori questioned then shouted, as he looked outside seeing that it was in fact morning.
"So, did you have fun last night?" Yoko asked, as she faced Kori with a smirk.
"If I said no then I would be lying big time. Also you set us up for that!" Kori said smiling and then went into an accusing stare and pointed at his mom.
"Why would I do that, I left a note tell you that I went out shopping and told you that Rose was in the shower." Yoko said, as she turned back to what she doing.
"You left half a note!"
"Are you sure? Did you look on the back of the note?" Yoko asked him.
"...the back?...Shit...Don't say anything to Rose please or there is a chance that she will kill me."
"Why would she do that, she loves you too much to do that." Yoko said.
"True, but I walked in on her in the shower so pain may follow if she finds out it was because I couldn't read a note."
"Don't worry, I won't tell. I promise." Yoko said.
"Thanks... is Yuya up? Actually, a better question is Yuya even here?"
"Yeah, he is. He's in his room still asleep." Yoko said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that he sleeps like a rock."
"You should probably wake Rose up." Yoko said, as she looked at the clock on the wall.
"Give it like 3 minutes and she should be up, if she fell asleep listening to my heartbeat then sleeping without it will wake her u-" Almost as if on cue Kori felt two arms wrap around his middle.
"Morning and why weren't you in bed with me, when I woke up?" Rose asked.
"I'm sorry Rose I know I should've been with you but I was pretty much forced to get up." Kori said giving Rose a quick kiss on the cheek and then he noticed that she was wearing one of his shirts and her hair was a complete frizzy mess, she had the look of just had sex written all over her.
"Plus you're wearing my favorite t-shirt, so I think I get some slack."
"So, did you have fun last night, Rose?" Yoko asked.
Rose blushed like mad and hid behind Kori.
"I think that answers your question mom."
"I guess so." Yoko said laughing a little at Rose's reaction.
"Oh, shut up both of you..." Rose said.
"But then that would ruin the fun."
Rose look up at Kori with a glare and walked back to his room.
"She doesn't look too happy with you." Yoko said.
"I'll go sort this out." Kori said, running up the stairs and entering his room and saw that Rose was already waiting for him and was sitting on his bed.
"Sorry, I acted like that, I just…" Rose didn't want to finish her sentence.
"Just what?" Kori asked concerned.
"I just don't like that you find it funny to tease me about it, then though it is a serious matter." Rose said, as she looked away from Kori.
"I'm so sorry Rose...wait, are you worried because we did it unprotected?"
Rose nodded her head as she now was looking at her hands with a few tears running down her face.
"Oh Rose…" Kori said hugging her and reassuring her.
"You don't have to worry about that because… whenever I… whenever I use my powers during sex it reduces all chances of me having kids… I found out last month to see if my powers affected anything else about me."
"Thank goodness, I wasn't ready to be a mother at an early age." Rose said, as she looked up Kori with a small smile.
"Plus this means we can do it as many times as we want so long as I use my powers."
Rose hugged Kori tightly with a smile.
"I'm guessing you like that idea then."
"Yes, I do and I don't have to worry about being pregnant." Rose said, as she gave him quick kiss on the lips.
"I love you too much to put you through something you didn't want to, especially with something like this."
"I'm glad you're my boyfriend..." Rose said.
"And I'm happy that I'm all yours."
"I always hoped that my first time was with you." Rose said with a small blush.
"Yeah same here."
"We should probably go downstairs." Rose said, as she stood up.
"I guess we should." Kori said standing up, then he heard Rose's stomach growl causing him to laugh.
They walked downstairs hand in hand, they saw Yoko cooking pancakes.
"Hey, I was wondering when you two were coming down to eat." Yoko said.
"We missed dinner yesterday, so we wouldn't miss this for the world."
"Can you go up and wake up Yuya? Since today is his big day." Yoko asked Kori.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be back in a bit." Kori said running up the stairs entering Yuya's room and shocking him awake.
"What the hell?!" Yuya shouted falling off his bed.
"Mom said get up." Kori said leaving his annoyed brother on the ground and heading back downstairs.
"So, Rose? When will I be a grandmother?" Yoko asked.
"Not anytime soon!" Rose yelled.
'Oh god this isn't goning to go down well'
"Why not?" Yoko asked.
"I'm too young to be a mother!" Rose yelled back.
"You will be great mother." Yoko said to her.
Rose didn't respond as she laid her arms on the table and laid her head on top of her arms.
"Plus we can't have kids if I use my powers." Kori said trying his best to end the topic.
"Having kids now is better than having them later." Yoko said.
Rose just stayed quiet.
"We'll choice when we're ready." Kori again decided to cut in.
"Alright, I'll stop now." Yoko said, as she was putting some pancakes on a plate and put it in front of Rose.
Rose put her head up as she heard the plate being placed on the table and sat up straight in her chair, as she started to eat her pancakes.
"Hey mom do we still have the maple syrup or am I gonna have to run out and get some before Yuya comes downstairs?" Kori asked picking up a fork and twirling it between his fingers.
"There should be some in the food cabinet." Yoko said to him, as she put a few more pancakes on a new plate and placed in front of Kori.
"Okay sweet, Rose you want anything on yours?" Kori asked, as he got up and got the syrup from the cabinet but stood there waiting for Rose's response.
"No, I'm fine." Rose said, as she kept eating her pancakes.
"I know that Yuya is gonna want sugar with his syrup because he's a sugar driven kid." Kori said to himself, taking some sugar out and sat back down next to Rose and began to eat his now syrupy pancakes.
"So, are you two going to see Yuya's duel today?" Yoko asked them.
"I'd be a shit brother if i didn't. Plus I wanna step in if the whole thing is a setup to ruin dad's reputation even more."
"Yuzu and my dad are going so, I will tag along." Rose said.
"And you're gonna try and get Yuya and Yuzu together now aren't you?" Kori asked Rose.
"No! Why would I do that? Let them figure it out." Rose said.
"I know, but you and I both know it's painful at how oblivious they are to each other."
"Yeah, but they need to figure it out themselves like we did." Rose said, as she smiled at Kori.
"I guess you have a point there." Kori smiled back.
"How about you Yoko, are you going?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, but I need to do a couple things first." Yoko said finishing cooking Yuya's pancakes and put them on a plate and set it on the table where Yuya spot was.
As if on cue Yuya came down stairs in his standard attire without his jacket on his shoulders and was surprised to see Rose there, as if he didn't know she was here and he was even more surprised to see her in one of Kori's shirts.
"Morning Yuya, are you excited for today?" Rose asked with a warm smile.
"Err...yeah...do you mind me asking when you got here, Rose?"
"I came last night and stayed the night, but Kori and I were asleep when you got home." Rose explained to him.
"How could you two sleep for so long? I arrived here at 4:30 and you two were nowhere to be seen."
"Um… excuse me, I'm going upstairs." Rose said, as she stood up as she was finished and ran upstairs to Kori's room to get change in her clothes.
"Yeah, I need to get changed too." Kori said quickly eating up his pancakes and running upstairs only to be stopped by Yuya.
"You are not running out this time Kori! You are explaining what happened, I'm not a little kid anymore!"
When Rose finished getting dressed in her clothes, she ran down the stairs.
"I will see you guys later." Rose said, as she ran out the front door before Yuya could stop her too.
'Good luck, Kori' Rose thought, as she ran home.
"Right...erm...Well to put it simply...Me and Rose...had sex." Kori said to Yuya saying the last part almost like a whisper but Yuya still heard him.
"What! You are kidding me?!" Yuya shouted completely jaw dropped.
"He's not lying Yuya, they did have sex." Yoko said backing Kori's claim.
Yuya simply just looked at his brother in shock not knowing what to say.
"It was gonna happen eventually, I don't know why you're so shocked." Kori said.
"How could I not! You could've got her pregnant!" Yuya shouted.
"Oh my god, how many times am I gonna have to say this…" Kori face palmed before continuing.
"I can't have kids when I use my powers." Kori sighed out.
"Well, you could've just said that." Yuya said.
"Well, it's not something I can bring up really casually."
"Well, you guys can talk more about this later, but for now I need you to eat Yuya and Kori can go upstairs and get dressed." Yoko said.
"Yeah sure." Kori took the opportunity to run upstairs into his room and put on a new t-shirt and grabbing his duel disk before running back downstairs past Yuya and straight out the door.
Kori, Rose, Yuzu, Gong and Shuzo arrived at the duelling stadium, where Yuya was duelling.
"Wow, there's a lot of people here." Rose said looking around the stadium.
"It's to be expected since it's the champion dueling." Kori said looking around and listening to see if he heard or saw something he didn't like the look of.
"And now, it's time for the main event here today! And who will be challenging the Champion, Strong Ishijima here today, but the favourite son of Yusho Sakaki, the legendary Star Duelist - Yuya Sakaki!" Nico announced to the crowd.
"Yuya…" Yuzu said.
"Is he really going up against him?" Gong asked.
"Awright, I can smell that brand new…" Shinzo said, but he didn't get to finish as Yuzu slap him across the back of head with her paper fan.
"I'm already not liking this." Kori said to himself.
"This Special Match will be conducted with the official Action Duel Rules. I activate the Field Magic, Frontier Fang Castle!" Nico announced, as the field transformed into a castle in the middle of a forest area with stone hedges on the outside of the forest.
"Look, atop the castle…! It's Strong Ishijima, the Ultimate King of Action Duelling for three years running!" Nico said, as he announced the Champion.
"No, Yusho would of won if he showed up..." Rose said quietly to herself.
"And here's our young challenger to the Ultimate King… Yuya Sakaki!"
"Here we go!" Shuzo shouted.
But Yuya didn't show up.
"S… step on up, Yuya!"
"What's up? Did he run away?" One guy said.
"Just the same as his dad did three years ago!" Another guy said.
"A coward… like father, like son!" Another said.
Kori started to grit his teeth in anger letting his powers start to spark up and making his hair stand up.
"Hold on a second!" Yuzu yelled in anger.
"Stop it, Yuzu!" Gong said, stopping her.
"But…!" Yuzu said, but didn't get to finish.
"Kori, calm down please." Rose said, as she put a hand on his jacket sleeve and it did shock her slightly, but she kept her hand there.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry."
"It's fine, just try and calm yourself." Rose said to Kori with a small smile.
"I'll try, but if I keep hearing stuff like that then I can't help it."
Then out of nowhere a clown appeared behind Strong Ishijima.
"That clown… could it be?" Yuzu asked.
"Please don't tell me that's Yuya." Rose said face palming.
"I'm so gonna shock him when this duel is- arg!" Kori couldn't finish his sentence as he gripped his head in pain and his static form spiking up.
"Kori, are you okay?" Rose asked him with worry and concern.
"Yeah...just give me a sec…"
"Are you sure?" Rose asked still worried.
"Yeah… I'm su- ARRRGGHH!" Kori yelled gripping his head and falling on to his knees and lowering his head so that his face wasn't visible to Rose.
"Kori, what's going on with you?" Rose asked, as she had to let go of him and she began to getting more worried by the second and she kneeled in front of him.
"He...is...here...XYZ...is...here" Kori just muttered out that sentence before collapsing onto his hands and knees breathing heavily losing his static form.
"What do you mean by he's here and why XYZ?" Rose asked confused.
"Huh? What are you talking about what happened?" Kori looked up at Rose confused.
"I'll tell you later, but for now Yuya will be duelling Strong Ishijima and hopefully Yuya wins." Rose said, as she stood up and looked at the field.
"Oh yeah, I remember now let's hope this duel goes in his favour." Kori said standing back up to start watching the duel.
Rose went to his side and wrapped her arms around his arm and leaned against him just as the duel was about to start.
"Wow! What an unexpected turn of events, but it seems our players are ready! Please draw five cards. The duellists, at this palace of battle, shall kick their way across the earth and fly across the air on this field with their monsters! Fix your eyes upon the ultimate evolution of Duelling, the Action…"
"Duel!"
. . . . . . .
"Swing pendulum! More and More!" Yuya yelled at the top of his lungs drawing a card from his deck with a bright yellow light causing three cards in his hand to glow a bright blue while in the crowd Kori had almost instinctively went Static without his consent causing his deck to glow and be covered by lightning.
"What's going on? And why our decks glowing?" Rose asked, as her deck started to glow.
Kori didn't respond as he was staring blankly out into thin air his eyes seeming slightly lifeless.
'What's going on with Kori today? First the headache and now him being lifeless. I wish I knew what was going on' Rose thought a little frustrated.
Rose brought out her deck and looked through until she stopped at Light Rose Magician and two other cards and saw that the cards borders was half monster, half spell. Her magician's name also changed to Light Rose Pendulum Magician and the two other cards were Light Magician(scale 11) and Light Magician Girl(scale 1).
"What the hell?" Rose said, as she put the rest of her deck away except for Light Rose Pendulum Magician, Light Magician and Light Magician Girl.
Kori on the other hand took three cards from his deck, one being a changed White Phantom Dragon and two being cards she had never seen before.
"Wow..." Rose said, as she was looking over Kori's cards.
Meanwhile back on the duel arena Yuya was holding up two cards of his own.
"I using scale 1 Stargazer Magician and scale 8 Timegazer Magician to set the pendulum scale!"
"Now I can summon any monsters between level 2 and 7 at the same time! Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the either! Pendulum Summon! Come forth! My Monster servants!" Yuya yells, as three monsters appear on his field.
"How?..." Rose said, as she was in awed at the new method.
Yuya finished the duel with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attacking Ishijima's monster.
"Did he win?" Yuzu asked.
"Yeah…" Gong said shocked.
As Kori and Rose's cards stopped glowing. Rose fainted and her grip on Kori's arm was loose and she fell back, while her cards fell out of her hand. But Shuzo caught her before she fell on the ground and Kori returned back to his senses.
"Ugh...Rose?...Rose!" Kori looked around then saw that she had fainted and went straight to her side.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Shuzo said, as he picked her up her cards and put them back in her deck and he lifted her up in his arms.
"Oh thank god..."
"How about you take her to our house and keep an eye on her until she wakes up, while we congratulate Yuya on his win." Yoko said to Kori.
"Yeah sure, I'll see you later." Kori said taking Rose from Shuzo's arms and carried Rose in a bridal position, before running out of the stadium in static form.
It didn't take Kori long to carry Rose back to his house. Sure he got a few weird looks from people on his way back, but he ignored them as he continued to run home.
Once home, Kori ran up the stairs and in his room he laid Rose down on his bed, then looked out of window as if he could feel something off in the distance.
'What is that…' Kori thought to himself only to get distracted by the sound of Rose moving on his bed, but when he looked he could see that she was shivering slightly and he decided to lie down next to her, which made her subconsciously snuggle into him.
'Guess i'm staying here for awhile then' Kori thought looking up at the ceiling wandering to his own thoughts.
During that time Rose slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Kori.
"Ko...ri…" Rose said, as her eyes started to focus.
"Morning beautiful." Kori said back to her with a smile.
"Did I faint? And why are we in your room?" Rose asked, as she sat up and held her head, as she was trying to remember if she fainted or not.
"Yes, you did and I carried you here to give you some rest considering my house is closer to the stadium than yours."
"Sorry, if I made you worry." Rose said to him.
"It's fine, I'd rather be worried about you than let you be worried about me so much." Kori laughed.
"Where is everyone else?" Rose asked him, as she didn't hear sny noises from downstairs.
"They're out congratulating Yuya, while I made sure you were okay."
"Do you know when they will be back?" Rose asked Kori.
"Honestly, I have no clue." Kori laughed a little.
"Do you remember anything when your deck started glowing?" Rose asked him.
"No...everything is kinda fuzzy after Yuya drew on the last turn." Kori said holding his head with his hand.
"Well, we both got new cards. Well, I have two new ones and my Light Rose Magician turned to Light Rose Pendulum Magician." Rose said, as she pulled her cards out.
"Let's see how many new cards I've got." Kori said pulling out his deck then fanning it out in his hand and showing that at least 70% of his monsters had been completely changed into new monsters he never had or they became these new hybrid cards.
"Oh, wow. Your deck has changed a lot." Rose said in surprise.
"Yeah, but now I've got to completely change my deck strategies." Kori sighed falling back down onto his bed muttering god dammit under his breath.
"Well, at least you can beat Yuya with your new cards." Rose said with a small smile.
"I guess you're right there...Hey can I get your help on something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Rose asked him curiosity.
"I've been meaning to change up my style as you know I think the white hoodie has outlived it's style and I don't know what looks good with me."
"Sure, I would like to help, but why me?" Rose asked confused.
"You're the only one with good fashion sense and plus we can make a date out of it."
"Okay, I don't see why not." Rose said with a smile.
"If we head out now we can go congratulate Yuya afterwards." Kori suggested standing up from the bed.
"Alright, let's head out now." Rose said, as she got off the bed and walked to the door, then stopping to wait for Kori.
"Okay I'll let you lead the way." Kori smiled taking Rose's hand and walking out along beside her.
A while later, they arrived at the Maimi plaza. It was full of many shops and there were a lot of people, as it was a Saturday.
"So, which shop do you want to look at first?" Rose asked Kori.
"Any that does jackets and shirt combos in the same store." Kori replied causing Rose to think of any shops that did anything like that and she had one store that popped into her mind.
"I think I have a good store that should have both those things." Rose said, as she grabbed Kori's hand and dragged him to the store.
It took a couple minutes to find, but Rose found the store that she was looking for and went inside with Kori.
"So, what kind of jacket do you want and what colour?" Rose said, as she was looking through a couple of jackets.
"Black jacket and a white shirt," Kori said as he looked through some t-shirts.
"Hmm, alright. Let me see what I can find." Rose said, as she found a couple black jackets.
"I found a t-shirt I like, so throw me a jacket while I'm in the changing room." Kori said holding up a white t-shirt before heading off to one of the changing rooms.
"Alright." Rose said, as she had two jackets for Kori to try on.
Rose walked to the changing room Kori was at and gave him both the jackets.
"Here, try these one on." Rose said to him smiling.
"Thank you." Kori said taking the jackets and trying them on, before coming out wearing a white t-shirt that hugged all the right places on Kori's upper body and also going halfway up his neck.
The jacket he chose on the other hand almost went down to his ankles and having a popped up collar with electric blue rims around the collar, jacket front and shoulders.
"What do you think?"
"You look handsome." Rose said to him with a smile and having a small blush on her cheeks, while her eyes started to wander down seeing that his abs were now visible under his shirt.
"Thanks, maybe I should've changed to something like this ages ago." Kori smirked, as he played around with the collar of his new jacket.
"Yeah, you should've." Rose said, as she still had a small blush on her cheeks.
"Right, I'm gonna go pay for these and you can think of a place for us to head for lunch." Kori said giving Rose a quick kiss on the cheek before jogging off to the till.
"Okay," Rose said, as she walked out of the store and began thinking of a place to eat.
"I'm back." Kori said walking up beside Rose.
"How much were they?" Rose asked getting out of her thoughts.
"Not that much don't worry about it." Kori smiled at her.
"Okay, if you say so, but anyways I thought of a place to eat." Rose said.
"Where?"
"You'll see." Rose said smiling, as she grabbed Kori's hand and dragged him to the place where they were going to eat.
"You're doing a me aren't you?" Kori teased referring to what he said yesterday when he took her to the hill spot for their little makeout session.
"Maybe." Rose said with a little smirk.
"Then lead the way." Kori laughed and allowed himself to be dragged by his girlfriend.
Rose dragged him to a small cafe that Yuzu and her had gone once before, Kori and Rose sat at one of the outside tables.
"Wow, this place seems nice."
"Yuzu and me came here a couple weeks ago, the food here is really good." Rose said to him.
"I take your word for it." Kori smiled looking at the menu while a waitress came over holding a notepad and smiled to both Rose and Kori, but she looked a Kori a second longer than Rose liked.
"Hi and welcome to Maimi Cafe, what can I get for you two today?" The waitress said very cheerfully smiling at the both of them.
"I would like a parmigiana with chips and for my drink I'd like a no sugar coke." Rose said, as the waitress wrote down her order.
"And you sir?" the waitress asked Kori.
"I'll just have a cheese and ham panini with some chips please." Kori said setting his menu down.
"Sure thing, cutie." The waitress winked at him and left leaving Rose slightly annoyed and Kori completely oblivious.
"Why can't she just take a hint at we are together..." Rose said, as she let out a annoyed sigh.
"Huh? What are you annoyed about Rose?" Kori asked giving a concerned look.
"She was trying to flirt with you." Rose said to him.
"Wait what?!" Kori said looking more surprised than he really should've been.
"Alright, what would you do if some man, came up to me and flirted with me?" Rose asked her boyfriend.
"I think the answer is obvious." Kori said with a serious expression holding up a fist and covering it with electricity.
"Well, that's what I'm feeling with her right now." Rose said to him.
"Reach across the table grab my jacket and kiss me, we'll teach her a lesson." Kori smirked.
"Alright." Rose said with a smirk of her own.
Rose leaned across the table and grabbed Kori's jacket collar and pulled him into a deep kiss.
Kori kissed back with almost as much passion as Rose as he didn't want to make this going into something further by accident. The kiss lasted until Rose had to pull away to draw a breath as she sat back down in her chair.
"Here are your orders." The waitress said, as she placed the food and drink on the table and gave a glare to Rose before walking off.
"Feel better now?" Kori asked Rose, before he took a bite out of his panini.
"Yeah. At least now she can take a hint." Rose said, as she started eating her food.
"I honestly didn't think I was that much of boyfriend material." Kori laughed before taking another bite.
"Before I forget, should we tell my dad about what we did last night?" Rose asked.
"By we you mean you right? I don't want to die an early death." Kori shivered at the thought of what her father might do to him.
"I guess, I will take that as a no." Rose said laughing a little at Kori's reaction.
"I'm pretty sure the longer we leave it the worse it will be."
"Besides, If my dad did try to kill you, I would just stop him." Rose said.
"And I think I can run fast enough to outrun him."
"Anyways. How's your food?" Rose said, as she taking another bite of her food.
"Really good, you weren't kidding about this place." Kori said eating a few chips.
"If we come back here, I'm hoping that she's don't here." Rose said, as she took a sip of her drink.
"You and me both."
"So, where should we go after this?" Rose asked.
"We coul- hold on I got a message." Kori got his duel disk out before looking at Rose.
"Yuya's saying that your dad wants to do an exhibition duel between me and Yuya this afternoon as there's a huge mob of people outside wanting to see a pendulum summon." Kori said looking at Rose for a response.
"Okay, let's go." Rose said, as she was a little disappointed that their date was finishing so soon, but Kori put some money on the table before they left for You Show.
"Wow! Yuya was not kidding when he said it was a mob."
"Yeah, let's go through the back door, so we don't have to go through the crowd." Rose said.
"Sure, let's go." Kori said, as he jogged around to the back of the building with Rose following behind him.
They found the backdoor within a couple seconds and went inside, they went up the elevator. By the time the doors opened Yuzu, Gong, Ayu and Futoshi were there.
"Hey guys." Rose said with a smile.
"Rose!" Ayu said, as she ran up to Rose and gave her a hug.
"Hey Ayu." Rose said, as she hugged her back.
"Where have you two been?" Yuzu asked Rose and Kori.
"Lunch that almost got ruined, but we made it even better." Kori said smiling at Rose causing her to giggle.
"Well, you can tell me later, but Kori you should get in the duel arena now." Yuzu said.
"But isn't our Solid System not working anymore?" Rose asked, as she let go of Ayu.
"I forgot to mention, we have a new Solid System." Yuzu said.
"Well, that's all I need to know." Kori said running off to the duel arena back entrance.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to my One Man Show today!" Yuya said with a smile on his face.
"I know I use phantoms Yuya, but I still count as a person." Kori said walking into the arena hands in his jacket pockets, the lights going on him giving him a much more dramatic effect than Yuya had from his entrance.
"Wow, Kori. What's with the new clothes?" Yuya asked.
"I just wanted a change, white on white got a little boring." Kori shrugged.
"Who's that guy?" One girl asked.
"He's looks really cute." another girl said.
"No, he's hot." Another girl next to her said.
From hearing that, Rose gritted her teeth and put her hands into fists, as she was wanting to punch them for saying that to her boyfriend.
"Hey Rose! Love You!" Kori shouted out to the control room making all the girls in the audience room groan and making Rose herself smile and blush at her idiot.
"Love you too, Kori!" Rose yelled back.
"Right back to business." Kori said before pulling his duel disk out of an inside pocket of his jacket and slamming it onto his arm activating it showing a Electric blue lightning bolt shaped energy blade surprising Yuya.
"I hope you guys are ready to duel?" Rose asked the boys.
"Definitely!" Kori shouted.
"Alright, I activate the field spell, Dragon Ravine!" Rose said, as the field transformed.
The field transformed into what appeared to be a large desert canyon that separates the two brothers by two large cliff-faces with only a few rocky pillars between them to jump from place to place.
"Duel!"
Turn 1
Yuya: 4000LP
Kori: 4000LP
"You can have the first move Yuya." Kori shouted, as he drew five cards from his deck and put them in his left hand.
"I summon Entermate Discover Hippo from my hand!" Yuya said, as his pink hippo appeared on his field.
"It's here, it's here! Hippo, Hippo!" One boy said.
"Yuya uses it as part of his plan to ride around and find Action cards. Go!" Another boy said.
"OKAY! So everyone in the audience understands? Then I end my turn!" Yuya said, as jumped on his hippo and started looking for Action Cards.
Turn 2
Yuya: 4000LP
Kori: 4000LP
"Draw! I activate the continuous spell Night Call Of The Phantoms! This allows me to special summon one level 6 Phantom monster so long as it's defence points are made 0!" Kori shouted as the desert went from the middle of the day to what seemed like midnight.
"Appear White Phantom Diamond Dicer (Level 6 ATK: 2800 DEF: 800 - 0)! White Phantom Diamond Dicer attack his Hippo with Diamond Dice!"
"I activate the Action Spell, Evade! Rolling Hippo-"
"Night Call Of The Phantoms second effect activates when a spell or trap is activated on the same turn that it was activated and it targets a Phantom monster, that card is negated and destroyed!" Kori proclaimed, as his monster cut through the holographic frame of the action spell and straight through Yuya's monster sending him flying.
"Uwaah!" Yuya yelled, as he landed on his back really hard and his Life Points dropped.
"I set one card face down and end my turn"
"Good move, Kori!" Rose yelled at Kori with a smile.
"Ouch…"
"Hey, this isn't the time to be sitting on your butt, Yuya!" Yuzu yelled at him.
"Exactly, don't you want to show everyone your...pendulum summon..." Kori said trying to remember what his brother called it earlier.
"It's up to you, Big Bro Yuya!" Futoshi yelled.
"Go and Pendulum!" Ayu yelled as well.
"PENDULUM! PENDULUM! PENDULUM!" The crowd started to chant.
Kori just stared at Yuya to what this was seeing as he himself couldn't remember the end of the duel himself.
"YEAH, leave it to me! Here comes the fun part!" Yuya shouted, as he got up.
Turn 3
Yuya: 2000LP
Kori: 4000LP
"It's my turn! Draw! It's time! I set the Pendulum Scale using my Scale Four Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Scale Eight Timegazer Magician!" Yuya said.
"YEAH, here it comes, everyone! PENDULUM!" Shuzo shouted.
"Pendulum! Pendulum!"
"Here comes a Pendulum Summon! Come on out, my monsters!" Yuya said, as he placed his monsters on his disk, but an error message came up.
"Nothing appeared." Ayu said, disappointed.
"But why?" Futoshi asked.
"Hey, what the heck's goin' on? Sword Fish! Whip Viper! Come out with a bang like you did before! Why the heck's there an error?! Even though I placed my Pendulum Cards on the Duel Disk..." Yuya said, as kept placing the monsters on his duel disk hoping it will work.
"Pendulum Cards?" One boy asked.
"What's that?" The boy next to him asked.
"Having fun there Yuya?" Kori asked his brother.
"And with this, I end my turn! Now, Kori, come on and attack me!" Yuya said to his brother.
"Is he nuts?" Rose asked herself.
Turn 4
Yuya: 2000LP
Kori: 4000LP
"Well if you want me to attack Yuya then- ARRGGGH!" Kori shouted, as he clutched his head his static form activating violently and Kori raising his head up and looking at Yuya with a different look.
Everyone was confused or in awe at Kori apart from Rose as she recognized the look in his eyes and prayed that she was wrong.
"Please don't be like back at the orphanage..." Rose said, as she looked at Kori praying.
All of Rose's fear were confirmed causing her to gasp in horror when she saw his grin considering she refused to believe that Kori and that thing were the same person.
"Yuya! You need to surrender the duel now!" Rose yelled at him.
"Why? It's just about to get good!" Yuya shouted back, completely unaware as everyone else was cheering and supporting Yuya's decision.
"You don't understand, Kori's not himself right now! So, you need to stop right now! If not, I'm coming down there to take your place!" Rose yelled st him.
"...Draw…" Kori said quietly in a voice that just made almost everyone shiver in fear, all the while Kori pulled two cards from his hand and held them almost exactly like Yuya did less than a minute ago.
"I, using scale 1 White Phantom Possession Possum and scale 11 White Phantom Lightning Liger, set the pendulum scale…" Kori said swiping his arm across his duel disc having the electrical words "PENDULUM" appearing on the energy blade with two ferrell like animals appearing behind Kori seeming extremely violent, but also in pain.
Rose ran out of the control room and towards the duel arena and she started to bang and pry on the door trying to get it open only to hear his voice.
"I'm not having you interfere again… With this I can simultaneously summon monsters between levels 2 and 10… Pendulum Summon!...Rise from your graves, my servants…"
Rose ran back up to the control room to see what he would do.
"Why Kori…" Rose said quietly to herself, as she had a few tears run down her face.
"White Phantom Pendulum Dragon (Level 10 ATK: 3500 DEF: 2000) and White Phantom Ditto Dragon (Level 2 ATK: 0 DEF: 0)" Kori shouted, as a slightly more armoured version of his ace dragon and a winged muck pile shaped like a dragon.
"Ditto Dragon's effect activates, by banishing it and one other card on the field I can special summon one dragon type monster from my extra deck so long as it has 2000 attack points or less. I remove my face down card along with my dragon so that I can bring forth my most faithful dragon." Kori laughed, as his powers flared up uncontrollably scarring and terrifying Rose even more than before.
Rose couldn't watch what was happening anymore, she ran out of the control room with more tears running down her face and ran out of the You Show Duel School and ran to the spot that Kori took her the day before to clear her head and calm down.
"Take flight, White Lightning Dragon (Level 8 ATK: 2000 DEF: 0), my Dragon's effect activates when it's summoned all Light attribute Phantom monsters' attack points are doubled until the end of the turn!" Kori shouted, as all his monsters roared out in power as lightning enveloped them all.
"I-I think you're going a bit too far Kori." Yuya said shuffling backwards in fear of his brothers three monsters.
"...My monsters… attack him directly with White desolation!" Kori shouted, as he went into a maddening laugh and his three monsters attacked creating a humongous explosion of electricity and smoke sending Yuya flying backwards hitting the wall making a painful sounding noise, while Kori continued to laugh but tears started to flow down his face and his laugh turned into sobbing as his static completely died down.
Yuya: 0LP
Kori: 4000LP
Kori Wins
The duel field disappeared once the duel was over.
"Eh?!" Shuzo yelled not believing his eyes.
"Hey!"
"It's over?" Futoshi asked.
"What about Yuya's Pendulum Summon?" Ayu asked.
"Owwww…" Yuya groaned in pain, as he tried to sit up but clutched his stomach in pain and falling back down to the ground trying not to move otherwise pain would start to shoot up his front.
Yuzu ran into the duel arena and to Yuya's side.
"Yuya, are you okay?" Yuzu asked him worried.
"A lot of pain...but I should be fine..."
"How could you Kori! Why would you hurt your brother like that?!" Yuzu yelled at Kori.
"I...I…" Kori stammered before going back into a sob.
"Plus, I'm surprised Rose isn't here to back you up." Yuzu said looking up at the control room to see no one there.
"I...Rose!" Kori shouted, as he ran out of the arena and out of the school having a guess of where she might be.
Meanwhile with Rose, she was sitting underneath the tree on top of the hill, as she was in deep thought about what had happened with Kori, until she heard footsteps coming towards her.
Kori ran up the hill until he was in front of Rose and fell onto his knees and looked at Rose with tears down his face and the most saddened face Rose had ever seen on him.
"Help...me…...I had to watch the whole thing through my eyes...I couldn't stop it…"
"Kori…" Rose said, as she pulled him into a tight hug and laid his head on her shoulder, so he could cry on it.
"I'm...I'm nothing but a freak..." Kori cried, as he let out all of his built up emotions out through his tears.
"You're not a freak, Kori..." Rose said softly, as she hugged him tightly.
"Then what do these powers make me then?!"
"They make who you are... that's why I love you so much..." Rose said, as she let go of Kori and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips, trying to prove her point.
"I really don't deserve you… you've always been so kind to me..." Kori said, when he quickly broke away from the kiss only to kiss back with half as much passion, as he couldn't bring all of it out as he was still a little shaken up.
"How can you say that, you do deserve me." Rose said, as they broke the kiss.
"I could of chose someone else, but I choose you. Besides, I find your powers really cool, especially last night." Rose said, as she gave Kori a soft smile.
Kori laughed at what she said, before speaking again.
"I love you, I love you so much Rose."
"I love you more than that." Rose said to him.
"I'd be a broken monster without you."
"I know..." Rose said, as she pulled Kori in for another hug.
"Please...please don't leave me with my own darkness." Kori said in a scared voice.
"I won't, I promise." Rose said.
"Thank you...thank you..." Kori started to cry again hugging Rose tightly again.
"You're welcome. Besides, I would never leave you, I love you too much, to do that to you... Your my everything..." Rose said with a smile.
Kori didn't say anything, but he only hugged Rose tighter.
