Chapter 38: Forbidden Kiss
Ayato rubbed his cheek. 'I bet my dad never had to go through this stuff.' Much to Ayato's dissappointment, Hitaki had used her shirt as a sort of bra.
Ayato sighed, 'What would mom and dad think of me if they saw me like this.'
The cave started to get darker. 'I can't keep this up much longer.' she thought. Luckily for her she spotted some firewood nearby.
"Hey Ayato get that firewood for me." Hitaki said pointing at the assortment of logs.
Ayato looked at her questioningly, "Why the heck would their be firewood in a cave! Besides why should I get something for you, you hit me!" Ayato yelled.
"You had better get it otherwise I'll hit you a lot harder than what I just did!" Hitaki yelled back.
Ayato quickly got to his feet and ran over into the direction Hitaki was pointing, all the while mumbling under his breath. Ayato picked up the pile of logs and sat it down in front of the tempremental female.
Ayato looked at her and she was looking at him. "What?" Ayato asked a little annoyed.
"Start the fire, please." Hitaki asked with a mockingly sweet voice. A vein throbbed on Ayato's forehead. "What am I gonna start it with genius."
"With some tree twigs, I'm sure there are some in there, oh and I already know I'm a genius,
you don't have to remind me." Hitaki said.
As Ayato began to start the fire a thought occured to him. "Hitaki, we may not be alone in this cave. "What are you babbling about now?" Hitaki asked.
"Think about it, why would there be firewood in a cave, someone must have put it there. So that must mean someone muist be here." Ayato said seriously.
"Hey my face is up here not down there, jeez you are such a pervert!"
Ayato sighed, "So I've been told a thousand times. You act as if you never have perverted thoughts. Everybody does."
Hitaki looked thoughtful for a minute, "Well now that you sa-"
"Don't say anything, I really don't want to hear it. Were not friends, your the enemy if anything we should be dueling right now." Ayato said.
Hitaki smiled, "So does that mean you wanna go."
Ayato's sweat dropped, truth be told he was actually afraid of Hitaki, but he wasn't gonna tell her that. "Maybe when we get outta here..."
Meanwhile
Jaden was walking along the beach. "What am I doing?" He asked himself. Suddenly the sky turned a bright red. Jaden looked around confused, "Hey what happened to the sky?
Jaden looked up and saw a giant meteor coming towards him. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
"Hey have you seen Jaden around anywhere?" Alexis asked Syrus and Exion. "No, why? Do you need him for something? The two asked in perfect unison.
Alexis blushed slightly, "I j-just need to talk to him about something that's all."
"Sure." Exion said smirking. Akari and Anna ran up to the group. "Hey have you guys seen Ayato?" The two asked in unison. The two girls glared at eachother momentarily.
"Haven't seen him, Jaden's missing too." Exion says.
"Really, where could they have gone?" Akari thinks to herself aloud.
Back to Ayato
"What happened between you...and Akari?" Ayato asked hesitantly.
Hitaki looked up momentarily, "That's nothing to concern yourself with."
"Sisters shouldn't hate eachother, I want to know what happened between you two."
"Hmph, as if I'd tell you anything. I'd watch it if I was you. Unless you forgot that you still owe me for saving your life." Ayato's sweat dropped.
"Okay, but can you at least tell me what it is you guys want to do, I mean what's your purpose."
"To tell you the truth, I really don't know. But I guess there wouldn't be any harm in telling you that it has something to do with you and Jaden. You and Jaden have some connection to the darkness, something that were going to exploit. And you two don't have a choice."
Ayato's sweat dropped even further, 'Now I know I'm in trouble. I better try to find a way to get out of here.'
Hitaki stared intently at Ayato's Millenuim Puzzle, 'I may not get a chance to get what I was looking for, but...'
Ayato stared at her, well to be more precise her chest, but nevertheless he was staring at her. 'What is she staring at?'
"Hey come here!" Hitaki ordered.
Ayato flinched, "Why!?" Ayato asked, fearing that she had caught him staring at her assets.
"Don't worry I'm not going to hit you, I'm injured remember?"
Ayato got up and walked up to her, hesitantly he sat down in front of her. "Relax, don't be so tense." Hitaki said as she smirked, 'I got him now.' She reached out slowly towards him.
"Hey what are you doing!?"
"Ahhh!" Hitaki held her injured shoulder in pain. "Hey are you okay?" Ayato asked actually concerned.
"Heh, got ya!" Hitaki said. "Wha-?"
Hitaki grabbed Ayato's Millenuim Puzzle and it started to glow brightly as dark energy began to pour out of it. "What the-?!" Hitaki exclaimed confused.
The dark energy began to engulf Ayato as a weird insignia appeared on his forehead. "What's happening to me!? What did you do?!" Ayato screamed as he began to lose conscious.
Hitaki looked on in awe as the dark energy grew stronger, "What's going on, this energy, this is the same enrgy from before, what is he?!"
Ayato took one step forward his eyes flashing from it's normal blue to a glowing gold. His vision began to blur as he fell on one knee, "This feeling, I remember feeling like...this before"
Suddenly Ayato fell to the floor.
Hitaki touched his face, it was cold as ice, his skin turned pale. 'Lina isn't gonna be happy about this.'
Ayato rubbed his eyes as he slowly got up. "Ugh, my head." He looked around and saw that he was in some kind of castle. "Where am I?"
"Why you are in King Vandorgaron's Castle." A small silver dragon said as he bowed to Ayato.
"King...Vandorgaron?!" Ayato suddenly remembered the massive dragon he had used in his duel against the evil spirit that had once inhabited Exion's body. "Wait a minute, I'm in his castle!!!" Ayato screamed.
"No need to scream, I am Vandorgaron's Servant, at your service."
Ayato's sweat dropped, "I must have hit my head or something."
The smalll dragon's sweat dropped, "This is no illusion, you should be honored to be summoned here, the last person who was summoned here was ignorant too, I'd advise you not to be."
"The last person, what was his name. I might know him." Ayato said, feeling a little silly that he was being scolded by a tiny dragon.
"It was a she, her name was Lina or something like that, anyway she doesn't concern you.
We here at this castle believe you are the one."
Ayato blinked in confusion, "I am the one?"
Meanwhile in Neos Space
"Jaden you are the one will set the balance between light and darkness, but be careful, there is corruption within the darkness as well."
"Why am I not suprised," Jaden said still admiring his new deck.
"Pay attention! Ahem, this is why there is another 'champion' of darkness. You know him well, his name is Ayato Mutou."
"Really, well this is gonna be easier than I thought." Jaden said smiling.
"Be careful Jaden, it will be a lot more difficut than you think. You see while your power of darkness is stable, Ayato's is not. His power is extremely dangerous. Remember this fact well and your journey will be a smooth one."
Vandorgaron's Castle
"So let me get this straight, I'm am the one to use the power of this dragon?"
"King Vandorgaron! And yes you are correct."
"Okay, I guess I can buy that, I mean I always knew I was destined to do awesome things,
after all I am the son of the King of Games."
"Well, follow me, the King will see you now, after all he has to see who he's entrusting his power to."
"Okay."
Ayato stared in awe at the giant dragon before him. He looked down slowly. Ayato flinched. "Do not be afraid, so you are the one." His eyes flashed a bright yellow. "Yes you are the one indeed.
XII Order HQ
Lina had a look of complete shock, her Dark King Dragon Vandorgaron card had dissappeared right before her eyes.
"Did they find another?" Lina asked herself. "This could be trouble." Lina said as her golden orbs narrowed.
Back to Ayato
Ayato watched as a deck of cards floated down to him. "Take this deck, this deck contains the power of me, and all my servants.
Ayato looked sad. "Do not worry, you should only use this deck for special occasions. Your old cards are safe. But be warned, this deck contains incredible power, it will take everything you have to unlock all it's secrets."
Ayato nodded, showing he understood. "Now, there is someone named Jaden Yuki who also wields the power of darkness, you two are your world's only hope."
The Cave
Ayato woke up slowly to see Hitaki looking down on him. "What do you know your still alive after all." Hitaki said.
Ayato pushed himself away from her. Hitaki watched him intently. 'He seems different, his dark aura seems more prominent than before, something must have happened to him while he was out. And I'm gonna find out.'
Hitaki grabbed Ayato in one swift move and pressed her lips against his.
HAHAHAHA! Cliffhanger! What's going on, well you'll have to wait until next time.
