Chapter Two
Don't Turn Your Back
"Goal! Wahoo!" cheered Arisho happily, doing a small happy dance.
Sesuna turned and smirked, "You think that was awesome? Wait until you get a load of this, Arisho-chan!" The tennis ball was served to her; Sesuna hitting it straight passed Asuka.
Arisho blinked a few times in surprise before a smirk formed on her lips. Asuka, Junko, Momoe, Arisho, and Azura were all at the sports' area. Asuka, Junko, and Momoe were all watching Sesuna playing tennis and Arisho practicing her soccer skills. Azura was seated a safe distance from both fields, already aquatinted with all the girls, and was watching them with a smile on her face, and her thoughts traveled to Judai.
"And who says geniuses can't play sports?" Sesuna giggled as she high-fived Junko.
"Asuka-chan, Markurada-san, Hamaguchi-san, Suna-chan, Arisho-chan, Azura-chan, hey!" Judai called, waving eagerly.
Judai, Kenzan, Sho, and Misawa Daichi entered the field. Instantly Sho noticed Azura, his cheeks forming an adorable blush that Junko and Momoe spotted immediately, giggling silently. Daichi and Sesuna locked eyes, identical smirks on their faces.
"Sesuna-san." Daichi said in greeting.
"Daichi-san." Sesuna replied, crossing her arms.
Daichi was a head taller than her but Sesuna refused to be intimidated by him. She held her head up high, her pale silver locks shining in the sunlight.
"Um…" Arisho had a question mark appear above her head.
"Rivals." Asuka explained. "Daichi-kun and Suna-chan are both competing with their research projects to get the best grade in Dr. Chronos' class."
Arisho tilted her head to the side and said, "I'm getting the feeling this is gonna end badly."
Judai laughed and replied, "It always does when Daichi-kun sets his eyes on something he wants." He then smiled. "So, how does Azura-chan like her new living arrangements?"
"She's adjusted quite well, if I do say so myself." replied the ice green eyed girl. "She seems to enjoy learning how to duel and enjoys the Red Dorm."
"And how do you like it?" Judai asked.
Blushing faintly, Arisho lowered her gaze to her soccer cleats. She felt her palms start to get clammy; her knees go weak; her stomach tightening in knots.
"I-It's… I feel so much at home at the Red Dorm…" She confessed.
Judai's chocolate brown gaze made Arisho melt before he turned to start talking to Asuka about Azura's next lesson.
"Being in Osiris also makes me feel closer to you, Judai-kun." Arisho bit her lower lip, scolding herself. "Where'd that come from? Since when does Yuki Judai make me feel so… warm inside? Is it possible I may have a crush on him?" She shut her eyes tightly, shaking her head fiercely. No way! That's just, I dunno, weird! 'Sides, he's kinda asexual and everything. I mean, seriously, how can he stand next to Tenjyoin Asuka and not stare at her chest? Even I notice her bust size and I'm a girl!" Arisho glanced at Azura, "And it's already obvious Judai-kun has captured Maruzakashi-san's heart…"
Turning her attention back to her fellow classmates, Arisho was surprised to see Judai watching her out of the corner out of his eyes. Her blush worsened and her heart rate increased rapidly. Junko and Momoe also noticed and formed devious grins.
"Sho-kun." Sesuna turned to her close friend, "Since Judai-kun and Arisho-chan have detention for Chronos soon, why don't you take Maruzakashi-san and show her the campus?"
Kenzan spoke up, "I'll come with you. Just let me call Kamiko." Pulling out his PDA, he then called one of his childhood friends. "Kamiko! Hey, meet up with me at the Main Building." He said to a fellow 1st year.
"Okay, Kenzan." Her voice said from the PDA.
Sho blushed as he met Azura's gaze. She looked a little disappointed that Judai would be leaving but tried not to show it. Perking up, she then followed Sho and Kenzan away from the sports' area.
-Main Building-
"Kenzan!" a girl barely shorter than him cried. "Hey! Ken! Over here!"
"Kamiko!" Kenzan replied, breaking into a run.
Picking her up and twirling her some, Kenzan hugged Izumiya Kamiko affectionately, before realizing Sho and Azura were still there. He placed Kamiko back on the ground, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, his cheeks turning a shade of scarlet. Kamiko stared at them with a pair of green eyes that sparkled in the light. Her auburn hair was styled like Mystical Elf's and gave her an angelic appearance. She wore a pair of capri leggings underneath her skirt along with black bike gloves on her hands. Instead of the normal Obelisk boots, Kamiko wore a pair of blue zip-up combat boots instead.
"Konnichiwa!" greeted Kamiko, a smile still on her face. "You must be Maruzakashi-san! My name is Izumiya Kamiko!"
"Izumiya-san." Azura bowed in respect.
"Marufuji-san." Kamiko nodded towards Sho as well.
Kenzan clapped his hands together, "Come along now! We got a lot of campus to show and not enough daylight to do it!" He cried.
-Detention-
"Yuki and Kimana. Not a surprise, really." Chronos said as he paced back and forth in front of the desk they shared.
Arisho tugged at the hem of her red skirt under the table. She wore a pair of black tights, sneakers like Judai's, a black turtleneck top like Azura's, and an open Osiris blazer. Sasha, her kitten, poked his head out of her messenger bag, and Arisho had to hastily push him back inside without Chronos noticing. Judai let out a small chuckle by accident, Chronos stopping abruptly, and glaring at the duelist.
"Do you find something funny, Yuki?" He demanded; his beady black eyes locked on Judai.
"N-No. Of course not." Judai hastily replied.
Chronos narrowed his eyes but continued, "I will lock you two in here for two hours. You are to clean the desks, all of them, and be done before detention is over. Have fun." He then waltzed out the door and left Judai and Arisho to their tedious task.
"Great, just great." the Osiris girl made a face. "Now I get to clean. My all-time favorite past time." She rolled her eyes sarcastically.
"It could be worse." Judai said optimistically.
Sasha climbed out of the bag and began to dart across the floor, roaming around. The two let him as they started cleaning the desks. After a few moments of silence, Arisho got an idea.
"Hey, Judai-kun, do you like Western music?" She asked suddenly.
Judai looked up and replied, "Yeah. It's sweet."
Grinning, the brunette produced a couple of CDs and headed for Crowler's computer, which was hooked up to the announcement screen. Inserting the first CD, Arisho turned up the music as "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls came on. Judai's chocolate brown gaze locked on his fellow duelist as she began to move to the beat, still cleaning, and Sasha batting at his pants.
And
I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me
somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I
don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this
moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or
later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want
you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't
coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything
seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think
that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I
just want you to know who I am
I don't want the world to see
me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When
everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know
who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to
know who I am…
"Arisho-chan?" Judai felt his heart pounding unpleasantly for some strange reason.
"Hmm?" She turned to look at him with her ice green orbs.
As soon as her gaze collided with his, Judai's mind went blank. After standing there with an expressionless face for more than a minute, Arisho tilted head like a dog would, and gave him a strange look. Judai snapped out of it.
"Uh, w-why does Azura-chan act strange around me?" He finally blurted out.
Arisho closed her eyes slowly and whispered, "We'll just have to wait and see why, Judai. We'll just have to wait and see."
-Lighthouse-
"Judai…"
Asuka tore her gaze from the crashing waves as she noticed a surprising sight before her. It was a male of eighteen, wearing an outfit similar to that of his old Obelisk uniform, and his turquoise eyes landed on the dark blonde. Asuka felt her heart pounding underneath her breast, her stomach tightening slowly in knots. Marufuji Ryo looked somewhat wiser than before.
"Asuka." Ryo said, shining a rare Ryo smile. "Are you well?"
"Oh! Yes!" Asuka exclaimed, taken aback by his sudden appearance, and she watched as Ryo joined her at her side. "You?"
Ryo smiled softly and whispered, "Now."
Asuka blinked, confused as to that response, but smiled at his presence. Ryo stared out at the waters, his smile still in place.
"How is your life?" Asuka asked next.
"Great. I have to duel Edo Phoenix soon though." replied the teal haired adolescent.
Asuka tried not to blush at the thought of the young and attractive Edo Phoenix. She didn't want Ryo to think she was nothing but a fangirl. She wanted him to think of her as he did when Fubuki was missing and then in his coma. As a good friend. But now in her very heart, Asuka found herself battling over the "what if" that was always on her mind. What if she was in love with Ryo?
"How's my brother?" Ryo asked in his normal tone of voice.
"Sho-kun?" Asuka turned and smiled at him. "Maruzakashi Azura is here and I have the feeling Sho likes her, Ryo. He's growing up and you should be proud."
Ryo gave a slight nod, "So is Azura happy?"
Asuka pondered that, "Around Judai-kun she is…"
"Wait… are you saying that basically we have a triangle on our hands?" Ryo said with surprise in his voice. Asuka nodded and he closed his eyes, "And Judai's as clueless as ever I'm guessing."
"Pretty much," admitted the dark blonde girl. "But he may come around in time. Maybe this love triangle will find its own solution."
"Don't turn you back to the other outcome." He reminded her. "For when love is involved, there is always heartbreak."
"I know, Ryo, I know." Asuka whispered in her sweet voice.
-Main Building-
"Crazy kids." Kelley smiled and rolled her eyes as she paused outside of Chronos' classroom. Curious, the violet eyed professor peeked through the window, surprised to see Arisho and Judai acting differently around each other. "What's this…?"
She couldn't believe the gaze she saw in Judai's eyes. It wasn't the normal one that he usually had around people. This one had an enigma in it and it shocked Kelley. Never at her time at Duel Academia had she ever seen Yuki Judai gaze at anyone like that. Not even Winged Kuriboh!
"Arisho-san?" Kelley whispered in wonder, placing her thumb and index finger on her chin. "Is it possible that…" She trailed off and broke into a smile. "Good for you, Arisho-san." She paused and answered her PDA. She sweatdropped when she saw her younger cousin on the other end looking severely annoyed. "What's wrong now, Takami?"
Hoshiwa Takami pouted and said, "Fubuki left me for a quarter."
"What?"
"Some Ra said that there was a quarter lying next the Main Building and Fubuki just darted out of here screaming "You are mine, shiny thing!" at the top of his lungs." She explained.
Takami was the childhood friend of Fubuki, Asuka, and Ryo. Her eyes were lavender and she looked a lot like her older cousin, Kelley. Her hair was a dark blue that seemed purple that fell to her knees and framed her face. She also had bangs.
A/N: Like Kisara's from YGO.
"It'll be okay, sweetie." Kelley reassured her. "I'll see you later, okay? You just make sure Fubuki-san doesn't end up hurting anyone for that quarter."
"Okay, Kelley." sighed Takami before the cousins hung up.
Kelley turned her attention back to Arisho and Judai, who, due to the power of music, had finished cleaning the desks forty minutes early. They were seated on the steps, playing with Sasha. The young kitten was lying on his back in Judai's lap, batting his paws at the hem of his blazer, and Arisho scratching Sasha's tummy adoringly.
"Aw…" Kelley sighed.
Hatching an idea, she then went to go and stall Chronos, giving Judai and Arisho some more time alone together.
-In the Room-
"He's so playful. Almost as much as Winged Kuriboh." Judai commented.
Arisho paused and let out a small smile, "Can I tell ya a secret, Judai?" He ruffled his dark brown and orange locks and nodded. Arisho closed her eyes halfway before whispering in a soft voice, "I can see Spirits too."
"You can?" He broke into a grin of surprise.
"Yup." She blushed faintly. "Maybe one day my spirit will reveal itself to me…"
Judai felt Winged Kuriboh nuzzle against his face, indicating eagerly to his deckcase. Opening it, the teen then pulled out one of his duplicate cards, and looked it over. Winged Kuriboh chirped away and began to float around Arisho, who was blinking and watching him until she was dizzy, swirls in her eyes.
"Hey, Arisho?" Judai spoke up.
Arisho shook away the swirls, "Y-Yes, Judai-kun?"
On impulse, Judai leaned over, quickly pecking her on the cheek, and pushing the card into her hand. Arisho's face flamed to a bright red, her eyes wide in surprise, and Sasha meowed in confusion. Shaking, Arisho looked down to gaze at Elemental Hero Burst Lady, her heart rate increasing to new heights.
"I want you to have that." He said, before scrambling to his feet, and rushing towards the corner of the room, where his stuff laid untouched. He unlatched his bag and began to search through it, murmuring under his breath. "Why did I…?"
Judai was confused as to why he even did that in the first place. Never had he ever kissed anyone before. In fact, he had never really thought about things such as romance or love. His main concern in life was dueling. Maybe had been in the dark for way to long when it came to other things. Right now, all Judai wanted was to get out of there as fast as he could. He needed to go back to the Red Dorm and talk this over with someone. Impatiently, Judai watched the clock ticking. Horror filled his eyes after twenty minutes had passed, over the time that Chronos was supposed to come, and relieve them of their detention. Arisho was in her own little world, slightly dazed.
After over a half an hour, Judai finally turned to look at Arisho, and choked out in a concerned voice.
"I think we're stuck in here."
Judai: "I did what now?"
Arisho: "Why the heck did he kiss me?"
SF4E: "What? You two are such a cute couple."
Judai: "Crazy fangirl."
SF4E: makes face "Please R&R! More RyoxAsuka fluff soon! Promise!"
