Chapter 39: Forbidden Kiss Part 2
Ayato's eyes opened up wide in shock, but they quickly began to close. His whole body went numb, as if against it's will. It was as if she was draining him of his strength. 'What's going on?' Ayato thought to himself weakly.
Hitaki smiled into the kiss, 'This is easier than I thought. Must be beacuse he's so perverted.Now let's have a look into his mind.' Hitaki searched through Ayato's mind and chose a spot.
There she saw some of Ayato's memory. A younger version of Ayato was waiting for his father to return home. She watched him as he sat there humming to himself. Just then the door swung open and Ayato jumped off the couch.
"Daddy! Daddy! Your back!" Ayato happily said.
"Yes I'm back and I've got something for you." Yugi said as he held out a duel monster card.
Ayato looked at the card confusingly. "What is it?"
"It's a duel monster card, this one is called Kuriboh and it's one of my favorites." Yugi replied.
Ayato took the card and Kuriboh came from the card bouncing around happily. Ayato looked suprised. "Wow!"
Hitaki frowned, 'Not what I'm looking for, it must be around here somewhere, but whe-" Hitaki started to feel herslf weakining, 'What's going on?!' Hitaki fell to one knee as Ayato began to overpower her.
Hitaki's eyes widened in disbelief, 'He's reversing the kiss on me! This is impossible!' Ayato's eyes glowed brightly as the sudden surge of power rushed through him.
'No! I can feel him invading my mind, I have to stop him. Otherwise I could die!'
Meanwhile
"Still no sign of Ayato or Jaden. I hope their okay." Syrus said. "Me too." Exion added.
"Where could they be?" said a worried Alexis. Akari and Anna walked up to the group.
"No luck, huh?" Akari asked. The group shook their heads. Akari sighed.
"Hey guys!" Jaden said as he walked up to the group. "How's it going?" He asked in his usual cheery mood.
"Jaden where have you been! Everybody was worried about you!" Alexis scolded. Jaden's sweat dropped. "Uh, I was around." Jaden said feeling confused.
"Have you seen Ayato?" Anna questioned. "I haven't seen him." Jaden replied.
"So...your okay now?" Syrus asked. Jaden grinnned a cheesy grin, "Never better."
"Ahem." Alexis looked at Akari and Anna. Akari and Anna stared back at her confusingly for a couple of seconds before getting the hint. "Well were going to see if we can find Ayato, see ya!" The two girls said.
"Um, I'm gonna help them. Come on Sy." Exion said as he dragged Syrus with him. "Hey wait a minute!" Syrus protested as he was helplessly dragged away.
There was an awkard silence between Jaden and Alexis, both of them were staring at eachother. "Well, um, I think I'll go help them." Jaden said as he began to walk away.
Alexis quickly grabbed his hand. "You can't go yet." Jaden looked confused, "Why not?" Alexis blushed, "Because I have to talk to you."
"Um, okay so what do you want to talk about?" Jaden asked. Alexis had a serious look on her face. "Now Jaden I want you to answer my questions truthfully."
"Oh come on Alexis I never lie." Jaden said grinning. Alexis simply rolled her eyes at his comment. "Okay, first question, your not gay are you?" Alexis asked.
Jaden's sweat dropped, "No." Alexis sighed a sigh of relief. "Alrgiht next question, do you like any of the girls at this school."
"Of course, there's you, Anna, Akari, Nico, an-"
"No, I meant do you like someone up here as more than just a friend."
"More than just a friend? Well to tell you the truth I never really thought about it."
Alexis looked down momentarily. "Well, what if someone told you that they liked you more than just a friend?"
"Well I'd-"
Before Jaden could finish what he was saying Alexis hushed him by putting her two fingers on his lips before kissing him.
Back with Ayato
Ayato blinked in confusion. "What just happened?"
Hitaki glared at him, "You almost killed me."
"WHAT?!"
'Is Lina crazy?! There's no way we'd be able to control someone like this. We'd be better off getting rid of him.' Hitaki thought to herself.
"What do you mean I almost killed you?"
Hitaki sighed, "Your so clueless it's sad. You still don't get it do you? I was trying to extract information out of you. But you somehow reversed the process. With the little experience you have with that move you could have killed me."
Ayato snorted, 'Serves her right for invading my mind.'
Hitaki frowned. 'This boy will be the end of me.'
"Hey wait a minute. If I reversed it doesn't that mean I got something out of it?"
Hitaki nodded slowly. "So what did I get out of it?"
"I'm not sure, it'll come to you eventually." Hitaki said feeling uncertain of herself.
Ayato grinned, 'Man I hope it's something good.' He thought as 1,000 images flooded his mind.
Hitaki had a look of fear in her eyes as she realized the mistake she had just made. 'What if...' her thought trailed off as Ayato's grin deepened.
Ayato turned around suddenly. "What's wrong?" Hitaki asked not really caring.
"Something's there." Ayato replied suddenly becoming serious.
"It's probably just your imagination."
"When are you going to be able to use your powers so I can get out of here?" Ayato asked. Hitaki rolled her eyes. "I should be able to get us out of here by tommorrow."
"That's good to hear." Ayato looked down momentarily. 'I really miss Akari.'
XIII Order HQ
A female in a black coat walked down the long corridor before stopping. She looked around to make sure that no one was looking before she opened up a secret doorway. Once inside she walked up to a black coated member who was tapping his foot impatiently.
"Your late." the second figure said as he removed his hood. His black spiky hair strecthing out in every different direction as his black eyes glared at her.
"As if I didn't know that." The hooded figure said as she removed her hood. Her long brown hair tied into a ponytail. Her brown eyes glaring at him. "Ryon, what are we going to do about Ayato?"
"It's simple. Were going to use him to take over this organization."
The girl raised her brow skeptically. "And how are we going to do that?"
"I'll tell you that when it is irrelevant Kaena." Ryon said.
Kaena smirked, "So you still don't trust me, do you?"
Ryon smirked as well. "Of course. I'm not stupid. I'll never fully trust anyone. But I promise you this, Lina won't be in charge for much longer."
Back At Duel Academy
Hikari was babbling on and on about the importance of looking good while you duel. Jaden, as usual, wasn't paying attention. He had something on his mind at the moment. 'Alexis kissed me!' Jaden thought, 'But...what should I do?'
Alexis, the Obelisk beauty was currently staring at her object of affection, Jaden that is.
She sighed. Akari nudged Alexis, "So how did it go?" Akari asked.
"Well, after I kissed-"
"You kissed him?" Akari yelled out loud. The whole class turned and stared at her including Hikari. "Ahem, could you repeat that?" Hikari said mischievously.
Alexis glared at Akari. Akari's sweat dropped, "I was just...reading this book, yeah"
Hikari shrugged and began talking again completey unaware that Akari didn't have a book in her hands..
"Sorry Alexis, I just didn't think you'd actually kiss him. I mean it's so unlike you to do something like that." Akari whispered.
Alexis nodded in agreement, "I know, I don't know what happened."
"So, what happened?"
"Well after I kissed him the bell rang for class to start so..."
"So..."
"So Jaden kinda took off." Aleixs replied.
"I figured he'd do something like that." Akari said. "Really? Well what do you think?" Alexis asked.
"Well, I think he just needs time to think." Anna interjected, overhearing the conversation.
"Yeah, I was just about to say that." Akari lied. "Well...okay." Alexis said.
Suddenly the bell rang. "Oh, and I almost forgot. Chancellor Crowler said that the School Duel is coming up and he's considering four canidates that can represent our school. The duels will be held tommorrow."
Kazama smirked, 'Finally. This is my chance. Now who should I duel? Jaden or Ayato?'
Kazama got up and made his way to Chancellor Crowler's office.
"All right!" Jaden exclaimed. "I just know I'm one of those four people! I bet Ayato's one too! I just know I'll win, then I'll win the School Duel, just like last year!"
Syrus sweat dropped, "Um, sure Jaden. You are the best." Akari and Anna looked concerned, they both had one question on their minds, where was Ayato?
At Chancellor Crowler's Office
Crowler was looking through his stack of papers when there was a knock on his door.
"Come in." he said.
Kazama walked in with a smirk on his face. Crowler looked up, "Well I'm guessing your here to talk to me about the four canidates I've chosen."
"That's right, I already know it's me, Ayato, and Jaden. Who's the last one?"
"Hmph, it's Chazz Princeton. So what do you want?" Crowler asked politely.
"I want you to set the duel up with me versus Ayato." Kazama practically demanded.
The Cave
Ayato sat next to the fire making patterns in the dirt with a stick. He yawned, "Man am I bored."
Hitaki rolled her eyes. "Ya know, that's a pitiful attempt at trying to start a conversation with someone."
Ayato frowned, "Who ever said I wanted to talk with you."
"Oh come on, who wouldn't want to talk to me."
"I wouldn't."
"Your talking to me right now."
Ayato sighed, he would have said something but he really didn't feel like arguing, besides it wouldn't do him any good to argue with someone that was his only ticket out of here.
"Well since were going to be outta here by tommorrow I might as well get my payment"
Hitaki said suddenly appearing next to Ayato.
"What?! I don't owe you anything!" Ayato frowned.
"Oh yes you do, I saved your life. Now I get what I want."
Ayato sighed, 'I might as well. Maybe she'll leave me alone.' "Okay fine, so what do you want?"
"Oh nothing much, just-"
The Next Day
Ayato awoke slowly, his back slightly sore from laying on the rocky ground. The sun shined in his face as he strecthed. Suddenly his eyes shot open. The cave was no lnger blocked and standing at the entrance was Hitaki.
She turned to him, "From now on were enemies." And with that she vanished.
Ayato cringed as a slight pain shot down his spine. He held the the base of his neck with his left hand. When the pain subsided he began to walk out the cave. He had to be careful not to let anyone see the base of his neck
What's up with Ayato? And exactly what will Ayato gain from his little kiss with Hitaki? Find out at the end of this week. Man I love doing this.
