Author's Note: Well, because this one thing I was supposed to do yesterday ended up getting postponed until next week, I was able to get one of my online class assignments done a day early. Which means I was able to use this afternoon to work to get another chapter done. Anyway, if anyone has yet to read my previous story, Vampire Papillon, I suggest you go do that now. It's going to be pretty relevant to these next two chapters.

Chapter 7: Fujisaki's Bite
It was the dead of night as Samantha walked down the sidewalk towards the Heartland Cemetery. A cold wind blew as she headed for the gate, causing the redhead to shiver slightly. As soon as Samantha walked through the gate and took a few steps up the upward slopping path, she spied an orange light in the distance. A few moments after Samantha started heading for the light past the tombstones, she heard the sound of moaning in the distance. A smirk appeared on Samantha's face as she continued towards the light.
After passing by a mausoleum, Samantha saw Fujisaki naked and on all fours by a little campfire she had set up. Plowing into her from behind was a young man on his knees with sandy-brown hair who was wearing only the top half of a Heartland Academy uniform. Samantha merely smiled and crossed her arms as she leaned against the corner of the mausoleum.
"C'mon… harder, you pansy-ass son of a bitch!" Fujisaki ordered.
The young man grabbed the dark-haired girl's left leg and pulled it straight back before bucking his hips even harder. Fujisaki dug her fingers into the dirt ground that she and the young man were on. With one last hard thrust, the young man and Fujisaki managed to climax at the same moment. Afterwards, the young man withdrew himself and collapsed to the ground on his side as he fell unconscious. Fujisaki meanwhile got back to her feet and put on a black hooded robe that was lying on the ground. When she turned around and saw Samantha, she merely sighed and shook her head.
"That was quite the show you put on." Samantha remarked.
"What's the matter, Sammy? Your internet not working?" Fujisaki asked as she walked towards her. "Not that I don't mind you watching of course."
"There's something to be said for a live show." Samantha told her. "Besides, I'm here on business. Alice failed in her mission?"
"What? No way!" Fujisaki exclaimed. "What the hell happened?"
"Kaito Tenjo interfered." Samantha explained. "He proved to be too much for Alice to handle."
"Well shit! That kinda screws things up." Fujisaki declared.
"True, but as long as Kotori Mezuki is eliminated, there's nothing to worry about." Samantha told her. "That's why I'm here. I want you to get rid of Mezuki for me. I'm sure as my little mistress of curses, you can give her a painful death."
"Sure, I thought you'd never ask." Fujisaki replied. "This'll be a blast."
"So, who's your latest conquest?" Samantha asked, referencing the young man on the ground.
"Just the boyfriend of that perky little bitch, Kasumi from Class 2-B." Fujisaki answered. "One of those terminally cheerful types that makes me sick. I put a little mind control spell on lover boy over there to make him my slave, and at the same time little Kasumi has just had a dream showing him and me getting it on."
"That's one of the things I like about you, Saki." Sammy told her. "You're so wonderfully vindictive."
"Hey, I'm just getting started with Kasumi." Fujisaki replied. "Starting tomorrow morning, her life is going to be a living hell. So getting back to Mezuki, do you want me to make it quick?"
"Quick but painful." Samantha answered. "I want her to suffer as much as possible."
"So no more, boss." Fujisaki told her. "She'll be begging for me to kill her before I'm done."
It was fairly early in the school day as Anna headed for class. She was in a good mood, since Yuma had just agreed to go out with her again later that afternoon. To Anna, it seemed like everything was going her way.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do about Yuma." A familiar voice spoke. Anna turned her head and saw Kotori talking to Droite at the end of the hallway on her left.
"If anyone can break through this spell to Yuma, it's you." Droite told Kotori as Anna ducked back to listen.
"It's not just the spell though." Kotori continued. "It's just… I wanted to wait for the right time to make love to Yuma, for when I was ready. Now it's like the decision for that time has been made for me. I'm just not if I'll be able to do it if and when the time comes."
"Yeah, I can see how you might have some major performance anxiety about this." Droite told her. "But if anyone can do this, it's you. And I'll be right behind you all the way."
"Thanks Droite." Kotori replied.
"Any time." Droite told her. "Now, you better get to class. As for me, I have a duel lesson to prepare for."
Kotori nodded and head down the hall in Anna's direction. Anna quickly made sure that Kotori wouldn't see her as she passed. As Anna watched the green-haired girl walk away, her anger began to rise like the lava of a volcano that was about to blow its top. Anna had no earthly idea why Kotori wanted to steal her boyfriend, but she wasn't going to let that happen. Right then and there, Anna swore to blow Kotori to bits if she so much as batted her eyes at Yuma.
It was just after lunch as Kotori went out to the yard behind the school to clear her head. The rain from that morning had only just stopped and Kotori could still smell it on the air. She was still trying to figure out the best way to approach Yuma and reintroduce who she was to him.
"Hey! Mezuki." A voice spoke from behind. Kotori turned around and saw Fujisaki walking up to her.
"You're… Fujisaki Hotsuda, right?" Kotori identified. "What do you want?"
"Yeah, I'm just gonna come out and tell ya now. I'm a member of Sammy's little club." Fujisaki revealed.
"So you work for Mitaka then!" Kotori realized.
"Bingo, and I've come to take you out." Fujisaki informed her. "If it was up to me, I'd just make you suffer for a long time and put a curse on your like I've done with every other tramp at this school who ticks me off."
"A curse?" Kotori repeated.
"You know how a lot of girls at this school have been calling in sick lately? That's my doing." Fujisaki revealed with a proud smirk. "Some of them have lost their hair or have had bad stomach pains, others have been having some wild nightmares and hallucinations that'll put 'em in the psych ward after a while. I'd do the same to you, but Sammy wants you taken care of quick. Either way though, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
"What did I ever do to you?" Kotori asked.
"Nothing. Your face just totally pisses me off." Fujisaki told her. "I see you walking around here all the time like you're little miss perfect. You remind me of my straight-laced older sister. God how I hate her!"
"Well if you want to duel me… I guess I'll have to take you on." Kotori agreed.
"Hold on, Kotori." A voice interrupted. Kotori and Fujisaki looked and saw Droite walking towards them. "Let me handle this."
"Well if it isn't Heartland Academy's own duelist schoolmarm." Fujisaki observed. "Why don't you mind your own business, teach? This is between me and Mezuki here."
"I don't think so." Droite told her. "If you want to get to Kotori, you're going to have to go through me first."
"Droite, you don't have to do this." Kotori told her.
Droite smiled and shook her head. "This is the least I can do for you right now."
"Okay then teach." Fujisaki finally agreed. "But I'm gonna make you regret butting in."
With that, Fujisaki produced and activated a black D-Gazer and duel disk. Droite activated her own duel disk along with her purple D-gazer tattoo. As soon as Kotori activated her own D-Gazer in order to watch, the color of the surrounding area changed slightly.
"I'll make the first move." Fujisaki declared as she drew her first card. "First I'll activate the Spell, Card Destruction! This makes us both discard our hand and draw a new one with the same number of cards."
"Guess you were having a little hand trouble, huh?" Droite assumed as she drew new cards.
"None of your damn business." Fujisaki told her. "I'll summon Vampire Lady in Defense Mode and end my turn."
Appearing on Fujisaki's side of the battlefield was a woman with odd pale-green skin and long white hair arranged in an elegant fashion. She had on an old style purple dress with somewhat baggy sleeves. Here eyes were blood red, and protruding from her mouth was a pair of white fangs. Droite was visibly unsettled by the appearance of Fujisaki's vampire, as what little color there was in her cheeks just drained away.
"What's the matter, teach? Don't you like vampires?" Fujisaki asked.
"…Let's just say I have some personal reasons for not liking them." Droite responded as she quickly composed herself and drew her next card.
"Funny, I never pegged you as a total wuss. I mean only five-year-olds are scared of vampires these days." Fujisaki remarked. "Guess you're not such a badass after all."
"I don't give a damn what you think about me." Droite told her. "I summon Morpho Butterspy in Attack Mode!"
Appearing on Droite's side of the field was a female creature with a humanoid upper body and wearing a black and blue bodysuit. From her waist grew a large and magnificent pair of blue and black butterfly wings. Covering the upper half of her blue face was a brown helmet with yellow spots where eyes would normally be. In each hand, she carried a curved green blade.
"Because I just summoned a monster, I can also summon Blue Mountain Butterspy!" Droite announced.
Appearing next to Morpho Butterspy was another butterfly woman with a large beautiful pair of blue butterfly wings on her back. She had on blue armor, and in each hand carried a small shield with a blade attached to the top.
"Using my two level four monsters, I Xyz Summon Photon Papilloperative!" Droite announced.
A vortex appeared in the middle of the battlefield and pulled in Droite's two butterfly women as balls of purple energy. Rising out of the vortex a moment later was a woman wearing a dark-blue mask and helmet that had a large and beautiful pair of black and purple butterfly wings growing on the back. Both wings had a yellow spot near the top on the upper half. She had on an orange and dark-blue dress with a green gem on the chest and two large dark-blue shoulder pads. The woman's upper arms glowed with a blue light, while a pair of elbow-high black gloves covered her lower arms. In each hand she carried a purple weapon with two curved blades. Orbiting around the butterfly woman were two balls of blue light.
"I activate Photon Papilloperative's effect!" Droite announced. "By detaching an overlay unit, I switch Vampire Lady to Attack Mode and reduce her ATK by 600 points!"
One of the balls of light entered the gem on the butterfly woman's chest. Photon Papilloperative outstretched her arms and bombarded Vampire Lady with a barrage of blue lights, causing her to rise from the kneeling position she had been in from the moment she had appeared.
"I attack Vampire Lady with Photon Papilloperative!" Droite announced. "Photon Dance!"
Photon Papilloperative flew forward, and after twirling around sliced Vampire Lady in half with her weapons. The two halves of the undead woman shattered and Fujisaki's life points dropped to 2800.
"I set two cards on the field and end my turn." Droite announced.
"Not bad, teach." Fujisaki remarked. "But now the real fun begins. First I activate the Spell card, Terraforming and add a Field Spell to my hand! And now I play the Field Spell I just pulled, Vampire Kingdom!"
In an instant, the schoolyard transformed into an old European city from the 1800s, one that seemed to be fenced by high walls of stone with a large iron gate. All of the buildings and houses in the city were grey, and in the distance behind Fujisaki was a hill with a red-roofed white castle at the top. The sky had turned to night, and glowing high above the castle was a large blood-red moon. The whole city seemed to be dead or asleep, and a thick mist covered the ground. The appearance of the city had made Droite even more unsettled than she was when Vampire Lady had appeared.
"Jeez teach, you look like you're gonna wet your pants!" Fujisaki taunted with a laugh. "Don't tell me you're actually scared by all this!"
'I don't blame Droite for reacting like this.' Kotori thought. 'This must remind her of the time when she was a vampire.'
"I activate the Spell, Book of Life!" Fujisaki announced. "With this card I revive Vampire Lady and banish a monster from my opponent's Graveyard!" Vampire Lady rematerialized onto the battlefield. "Now I sacrifice Vampire Lady to summon Vampire Duke!"
Vampire Lady shattered to bits and a whirlwind appeared in her place. After a moment the whirlwind died down to reveal a male vampire with slick black hair, pale skin and pointed ears. His outfit was like that of a vampire from an old black and white movie.
"When Vampire Duke is Normal Summoned, I can revive another Vampire monster from my Graveyard." Fujisaki announced. "So I revive one of the monsters I discarded earlier with Card Destruction, Vampire Lord!"
A shadowy black mound rose up next to Vampire Duke and took the form of another vampire, one with purple skin and pale-blue hair. He had on an elegant purple suit, and clutching onto the back of his dark cape was something that looked like a large red hand with yellow claws.
"Using the level five Vampire Lord and Vampire Duke, I Xyz Summon the king of all Vampire monsters!" Fujisaki announced. "Awaken, Crimson Knight Vampire Bram!"
Another vortex appeared in the center of the battlefield and pulled in the two vampires as balls of red energy. Rising out of the vortex a moment later was a new vampire with chalk-white skin, blood-red eyes and long white hair that went half way down his back. He had on purple armor decorated in spots with yellow spikes that resembled fangs. In his left hand he carried a kite-shaped shield with a spike on the center in the middle of a glowing red light that had two points on the end. In his right hand, the vampire carried a large black sword with a crossguard shaped like a pair of bat-like wings. Orbiting around the vampire were two balls of red light.
"Thanks to Vampire Kingdom, when a Zombie-type monster does battle, it gains 500 ATK." Fujisaki announced. "Bram, attack Photon Papilloperative! Sword of Crimson Blood!"
Bram charged forward towards Droite's butterfly woman. As he raised his sword, the blade began to glow a crimson red.
"I… I activate my Trap, Mirror Force!" Droite quickly announced.
Just as Bram swung down to deliver the deathblow, his blade hit an invisible barrier that caused bolts of electricity to shoot back and hit him in the chest. The vampire knight was instantly destroyed in a fiery explosion. With Bram gone, Droite let out a heavy sigh.
"Well, looks like payback will have to wait for a little bit." Fujisaki observed. "For now, I'll set a card on the field and end my turn."
"Hang in there, Droite!" Kotori called. "Just remember, those vampires are just cards!"
"Wait a sec, are you actually afraid of vampires teach?" Fujisaki asked.
"You wouldn't understand." Droite told her as she drew her next card. "Besides, it doesn't matter anyway. Photon Papilloperative, attack Fujisaki directly! Photon Dance!"
"I activate my Trap, Sacred Rune Barrier!" Fujisaki announced. "This card negates your monster's ATK and bounces back half its ATK as damage!"
Just as Photon Papilloperative came in striking range, an orange light in the form of the Rune Mystic symbol appeared and blocked her path. The butterfly woman ended up running into the symbol and was shocked by bolts of orange lightning. Several of the bolts flew back and struck Droite, causing her to cry out in pain as her life points dropped to 2950. When the shock ended, smoke was rising from Photon Papilloperative's body. Droite meanwhile dropped to one knee and was trying to catch her breath.
"When Rune Barrier manages to block an attack, I can add Rank-Up-Magic Rune Force to my hand." Fujisaki announced. "So are you done, teach?"
"I… I end my turn." Droite announced as she rose back to her feet.
Fujisaki drew her next card. "At the start of my turn, because Bram was destroyed by one of my opponent's cards, he comes back to the field in Defense Mode." A red mist gathered on Fujisaki's side of the battlefield and took the form of Bram, who was in a kneeling position. "I think you know what comes next, teach. I activate Rank-Up-Magic Rune Force! Using Crimson Knight Vampire Bram, I rebuild the overlay network and Xyz Summon Rune Mystic Vampire Bram!"
The symbol of the Rune Mystic monsters appeared under Bram and shot a pillar of orange light into the air. The light faded after a moment to show Bram standing on his feet in a new form. His white hair had grown longer, and his purple armor had turned red and was glowing with white lines in spots. His sword had turned red as well and the blade of it had grown longer and had gained a curved tip. Bram's shield meanwhile had taken on a more spade-like shape and had the Rune Mystic symbol glowing on the front in white. On Bram's back, a pair of large red bat-like wings had sprouted. A fanged grin was on Bram's face, and orbiting around the vampire was a single ball of white flames.
"Get ready, teach." Fujisaki grinned. "I'm about to introduce you to a whole new world of pain!"
Author's Note: The duel in this chapter ended up being a pretty hard one to write, mainly because I've never used either kind of deck before in a duel. It also didn't help that I kept losing my internet connection last night while trying to look up certain card effects. Anyway, I hope everyone's enjoying the duel I came up with so far.
Please review and let me know what you think.
