Chapter 2: The Red Eyed Duelist
Kamina looked at her ticket then at her three bags, and finally at the boat. She had her deck. Her extra cards, clothes, and a dress. She'd never know when she would have to dress. And of course, her duel disk, which was on her arm. She was currently in her Slifer Red uniform, a red vest, which she had buttoned up and a blackish brown skirt. She kept worrying about a wind pickup as she carried (Or rather pulled along) her luggage. She's always hated skirts.
She fell over a total of three times before two of her suitcases began floating mysteriously. When she looked up, Katskil was holding them by the handles in each hand. "A lady such as yourself shouldn't be forced to carry such a load." He said putting one of the suitcases down holding his hand out to help her up.
She blushed as he helped her to his feet, and picked up the suitcase he put down. She noticed he was wearing a Slifer red boys uniform. "You're a student?" She asked quietly but surprised. He seemed much older than a student to her.
"Yup. Third year. Final year actually." He said walking her up the ramp onto the boat after showing their tickets. "I hate boats…" He said under his breath, but Kamina caught it regardless.
"But I thought students didn't leave in between terms."
"Yes well… The Chancellor made an exception for me." He said with a smile as they reached the rooms. "Your ticket should say your room number as well." Kamina picked her ticket out of her pocket and read "52A."
"That should be… Down this way." He said walking down the corridor. Kamina noticed the change in decorations. The wall paper was more pinkish shade of red, and the doors as well.
"They separate boys and girls on the boat? I thought this place was big enough…"
"Indeed. Some find it a bit… Disappointing. I really don't mind myself. Although I shouldn't be here…" he said in a slightly worried, slightly angry tone.
Kamina blushed slightly as she thought of boys in a girl's dorm. And what they might do.
"Don't worry, I'm nothing like that." Said Katskil, noticing her blush. "Well here's your room." He said, dropping her luggage off next to the door. The door opened slightly. "It's unlocked?"
Kamina peered in and saw an Obelisk Blue uniform on one of the beds. "Looks like I'm sharing a room…" Kamina said in a slightly upset tone.
"Well… That's not so bad is it? You should have some girl friends. On another note, I'm leaving this year. And since I'm the only one on this boat besides the Dorm heads who's not a year one student, I'm sure you'll get along with her."
"The Red-Eyes Punk isn't only a lousy duelist, but a peeping tom as well? And on a 12 year old no less!" An adolescent female voice sounded out near the two of them. Katskil groaned in an exasperated tone.
"Not that wench…" He said slapping his hand to his forehead. He turned to the girl, as did Kamina.
And Kamina thought she was red when Katskil acted so nice. This girl made Kamina blush like the red planet. She was wearing street clothes, a jean skirt cut up on one side, showing her leg, and a belliless tank top. Her dark hair was tied up with a blue ribbon. Before she could comment on it herself (Although hers was a compliment) Katskil spoke out.
"Modest much? Or lack there-of? You decide." He said to no one in particular. "For your information I'm helping Kamina with her bags. I was about to leave when you stuck your nose in." Kamina was taken aback by his sudden change in tone. He obviously didn't like this girl.
"Hah! Didn't you know chivalry is dead?"
"Apparently your ego isn't. Its called being polite. I would've done the same for a male student."
"Of course you would have." Mocked the Obelisk student. She pushed Katskil out of the way and bent over slightly to look at Kamina. "Sorry for the 12 year old comment." She said with a huge smile on her face. "But you do look pretty young."
"N-no problem…." Kamina said blushing at the close quarters. 'Personal space, personal space, personal space, personal space.' She thought silently, hoping the girl would back away.
She did soon. "My name is Janele Coreheart." She said holding her hand out. Kamina took it and shook it once before retracting her hand.
"K-k-Kamina Sasoshi." Katskil's and Janele's faces both lit up with surprise.
"Sasoshi?" The said in unison.
Katskil cut off Janele. "You're Toel's sister? I expected you'd be a bit more of a brat with how he described you…"
"He doesn't like me very mu- Wait, you know Nii-sama?" She cut herself off, surprised herself.
"Yup. He's me best friend."
"Only." Said Janele.
"Shut it." He bit back. "Anyway, we'll have to meet up sometime over lunch. Toel could make us get better acquainted. I have to go right now… Duels happening on the main deck. Want to see those I do." He said patting Kamina's shoulder.
"You put your bags away, and wait for your roommate. She can show you to the main deck, I'm sure." Kamina nodded slightly.
Katskil turned to walk away. 'She seemed so much different while she dueled... Wonder what happened…"
After Katskil was gone, Janele walked into Kamina's room. "You're my roommate?"
"If this is your room, yeah. Well… For the boat ride anyway." She said as she began undressing herself. Kamina's signature blush came up as she turned away.
"Why are you so squeamish? We're both girls aren't we?" Said Janele from behind Kamina. "You know you're going to have to shower with the other girls during gym, right?" She turned Kamina around, and was fully dressed in her uniform.
"G-gym? Shower?" Kamina was blushing fully already.
"Oh I see… You're gay aren't you? You don't want to be seen staring at girls." Janele said sticking her tongue out. "No worries, your secret is safe with me!" She said patting Kamina on the back.
"No! I'm not gay… I'm just a bit…" She said.
"Shy? Reasonable enough… You are a bit young looking, so you'd feel out of place. Anyway, let's go up to that Main Deck… I feel like Dueling myself." She said putting her duel disk on her arm. "C'mon!" She said grabbing Kamina hand and pulling her along by the hand, Kamina blushing the whole way.
H+H
As Kamina and Janele made it to the deck, a large crowd was surrounding a dueling platform, as a giant greenish bird disappeared from the field in a flurry of sparks, only done when a duel ends and the holograms go offline.
"Chalk up another win!" yelled a girl from the dueling platform only to be received by jeers from the crowd.
Janele ribbed someone close by, and asked what was going on.
"That girl up there is getting too big for her britches. She's taking everyone down in duels. She's the one who scored second highest on the Entrance Exams too."
Janele looked up at the girl. She was wearing an unzipped yellow vest, a white shirt and yellow and white skirt. Her waist length black hair was messy and uncombed. "Ra Yellow for being second best?"
"Her proctor thought she was too cocky."
"That doesn't say a lot." Janele scowled as the girl yelled out into the crowd.
"C'mon! Who's next! Isn't ANYONE willing to duel little ol' me?" She said, finishing off in an overdone southern belle accent at the end.
"Hah! No one? Jeez, this school is going to be boring."
"I'll duel you!" Yelled a familiar voice from behind the girl on the other side of the platform. Kamina looked and saw Katskil standing behind her, with a very old duel disk equipped.
The girl shot her gaze to Katskil, who was wearing his Slifer Red uniform. This, along with the Battle City Duel Disk made him look rather unchallenging… However, despite his weak appearance, he was rather handsome, and many of the girls were swooning. And because of his effeminate appearance, the guys were a bit confused.
"You? Hah! Good looks don't win duels." She said, her duel disk launching into place. "I'm not like the other girls here. I don't swoon over guys for their looks. You won't win against me like that!" She yelled, placing her deck in place on her duel disk.
"Oh no, what ever will I do?" Said Katskil in a sarcastic tone shrugging his shoulders. "I plan on winning by skill Miss… What is your name?"
"Mikano Migyn. And yours?" She asked Duel back; however she had a hint of anger. She didn't like sarcasm…. when she was at the end of it.
'Migyn he thought silently before announcing his name. "Duel Katskil." Nearly everyone let out a gasp, and a few laughed. Kamina tilted her head. Even Mikano looked a bit baffled.
"E-excuse me?"
"Duel Katskil." He repeated before she could finish.
"You mean the one who rejected three offers into the Obelisk blue dorm? The top student last year?"
"Only once and the second is a rumor. I'm a student just like you." He said, his duel disk launching into place. He put his deck into place as whispers occurred around the arena.
"Three times? That's a bit odd. I'd jump at a chance for Obelisk Blue."
"He doesn't look so tough. I bet I could take him."
"I heard he uses a Red Eyes deck. Everyone knows how useless the Red eyes Black Dragon is."
"Isn't he called the 'Red Eyed Duelist' for being able to use them so efficiently?"
"It's a different story with him. His brother was in Battle City!"
"That's his brother…"
"I heard he's never been defeated…"
"He has an odd name… Duel. Hahaha!"
Kamina heard Janele mutter curses about Duel under her breath as the whispers went around waiting for the duel to start.
H+H
"Ladies first!" Duel yelled as he drew his hand. 'Not bad…' He said looking to his right. He saw Janele and Kamina next to the Dueling platform, the latter watching with anticipation. He smiled at her and winked. He ignored the jealous glances Kamina got from girls standing near her as he waited for Mikano to make her move.

"Chivalry is dead ya know!" She said drawing her sixth card. "I activate, Harpie's Hunting Ground!" The field terraformed into a large nest on a tree stump. "And then, I set one monster face down."
"And finally I set this card face down and end my turn!" The card appeared on the field and her turn ended.
"I draw." He said drawing the sixth card. He overlooked his hand and smirked.
"I set down two cards." He said, the cards appearing on the field.
"Next I summon, Luster Dragon in attack mode!"

-Luster Dragon

"But before I attack… I think I'll activate Mystical Space Typhoon on your face down." He said destroying her face down card. Negate attack was destroyed.
"Now Luster Dragon, attack her face down!" The Luster Dragon sent a whirling blue tornado from its mouth, destroying Slate Warrior. "I end by setting one face down of my own."
Mikano cursed silently as she drew a card. "Hehe… Sorry bub, but you're done! I summon, Harpie Lady 1, in attack mode!" She yelled, the Harpie lady rising out of its card.

"And it gets an attack bonus from its own effect and Hunting Ground. Next, I activate… Elegant Egotist!" From out of nowhere, three crystals swirled around Harpie Lady 1, and then stopped. Out of it flew three older looking Harpie Ladies… "Harpie Lady Sisters in attack!"

-Harpie Lady Sisters
Atk: 2450
Def: 2300

"The sisters will destroy your Luster Dragon, and the Harpie Lady 1 will attack directly!" The Harpie Sisters destroyed the Luster Dragon with three successive hits before the fourth hit Duel directly with its talon in his stomach, causing him to double over.

Duel: 1950
Mikano: 4000

"Take that, 'Red Eyed Duelist'!" She laughed crossing her arm over her chest victoriously.
Duel was oddly calm as he drew his card. He lost his face down card due to Harpie's Hunting Ground, and he had nothing on his field. It looked damn near over.
"I summon, Red-Eyes Black Chick in attack mode. But don't feel so safe yet. Because I activate his special effect. I summon… The Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" The Red Eyes Black chick roared with an uncharacteristic ferocity. Surrounded by an inferno tower, the shadow inside began growing. When it cleared, the ferocious Red-Eyes hovered over the field, looming over the Harpies.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Atk: 2400

"I then activate, Inferno Fire Blast! You lose lie points equal to my dragon's attack points." The Red Eyes reared up its head before sending a fire ball at Mikano, straight past her Harpies.

"So?! What does it matter? I win next turn. My Sisters can destroy that thing, and Harpie 1 can take you out!" Mikano yelled, angry. Duel remembered she hadn't been damaged at all the past duels.
"Oh no, I'm not done yet Miss Mikano!" He said playing a card from his hand. "I activate the spell card, Polymerization…" He announced, placing it on the field. A meteor shot from the sky onto the field, and revealed the Meteor Dragon. The two cards disappeared into polymerization, and then there was a pause.
"To summon the Meteor Black Dragon!" He yelled. The polymerization broke into pieces as a giant meteor slowly fell from the sky. The meteor transformed into a dragon of frightening size and strength. Mikano stumbled back with terror in her face as the dragon roared.

-Meteor Black Dragon
Atk: 3500
Def: 2000

"Now my Meteor Black Dragon! Inferno Nova!" The dragon roared once more and shook the boat. It flew into the sky and opened its mouth. Dozens of meteors covered in black fire showered down onto the Harpie Lady 1, destroying it.

Duel: 1950
Mikano: 0

The crowd cheered for the one turn victory Duel just pulled as the Meteor Black Dragon disappeared in a flurry of sparks. The women were squealing as he walked down the stairs to the deck.
Mikano just slid down to her knees, staring after Duel, with anger, and jealousy… But more noticeably admiration and if Kamina didn't know any better… She even looked smitten.
"Well, what do you think of your ol' pal Duel?" Kamina heard Duel say from behind. Kamina smiled as an answer while Janele muttered something about 'Pure Red Eyed Punk luck...'
Duel stuck his tongue out at Janele, and then turned his head back to Kamina. "You'd best head back to your room. The boat won't make port till tomorrow, so you'll want to rest. And maybe you can get better acquainted with lil' Miss Wench." And with that he walked off through the crowd.
Janele was about to walk after him, rolling up her non existent sleeves angrily. It took all Kamina had to hold her back, and even then Janele was able to advance a few feet before giving up.
"Fine, fine I won't kill the Punk…: She said stopping so suddenly, they both fell back from Kamina pulling at her. Janele was laying on top of Kamina, but rolled off quickly. "Sorry…" She said helping Kamina to her feet, both girls blushing.
"N-no problem."
"C'mon, lets get back to the room. I'm tired, and I can only imagine how you feel." Said Janele with a bit of a laugh, poking fun at Kamina's size.
"Hey!" Kamina objected, but before she could say anything more, Janele darted to the room on the boat. Kamina blushed as she realized she was alone again. She did a double take and then yelled 'Wait for me!' and ran after Janele.
H+H
Duel walked down to his own room, and took off his Duel disk as he walked. He walked into his room and placed it on the bedside table. He then proceeded to flop on the bed.
It was about a half hour later when the door opened. A young Ra yellow student walked in. He had long dark blue hair, and an angry look to his eyes. Although he wasn't angry, it seemed his face was stuck like that.
"Have a nice day?" Duel asked the newcomer who threw his duel disk next to Duel's. "Not gonna break it like that…" Duel said sarcastically under his breath.
"Just fine. Though every girl was swooning over you since you beat that snob Mikano. She's Miket's sister you know." He replied.
"That explains it." Duel said in response, ignoring the swooning thing.
"I worked over some punk. Didn't catch his name." He finished Duel's earlier question, flopping onto the second bed afterward. "By the way some girl said she wanted to duel you if you have the chance before you get to the island."
"Oh now? What'd she look like? I'm expecting she was blonde with how she wanted to duel me of all people." Duel said in a joking manner. But then again, what first year student was stupid enough to duel him after he handed Minako's ass back to her.
"She had blue hair first of all. With purple streaks…" the blue headed duelist said closing his eyes. Duel caught something in his voice and grinned.
"Could it be my lil' bro has a crush?" He said with a devilish smirk.
With a violent blush the Ra yellow student sat straight up. "No!" He yelled at Duel.
Duel only had one thought. 'Yup, he has a crush.' "Well just be careful. After all, you never know when she might duel you and own you… Toel."
