Sorry for the bigggg wait! First Sem is OVER, and I'm freeeeeee! Anyways, heres the next chapter. R & R plz!
At the duel Academy...
The duel theory class was soooooo boring! Heitman was going on and on about the levels of monsters you need, and how higher levels are better than lower levels. Ruka snorted with comtempt. She thought Yusei cleared that up months ago. Guess people don't change that easily...
She sighed, drawing attention from her brother. "You okay?" Rua whispered, trying not sound too loud. " Yeah I'm fine, why do you ask? " Ruka whispered back. "Well, you look out of it today, staring out the window, and sighing all day. Did you sleep alright last night?" Ruka flinched. She did not want to go back to that right now. " I'm fine" She said back, too quickly.
Rua's eyes narrowed." Ruka, you know you can tell me everything, right? If somethings bothering you, then I can handle it, I'm your bro-" " Rua, pay attention! If you want to get the same terrible mark that you get forever and ever, that is fine with me, but Do not, repeat, Do not distract other people in the process! Am I understood?" Rua jumped. Heitman virtually screamed at him. " Y-yes, sir!" He turned back quickly. Ruka inwardly sighed with relief, glad that the subject is at rest right now. Hopefully it will stay at rest. She couldn't admitt to herself, yet alone to her brother.
Time skip
It was lunchtime.
Ruka was at the bathroom, washing her face, hoping that will snap her out of all the worry and the after affects of that nightmare. She sighed as the cold water brushed against her skin. Still not working. Giving up, she fetched a towel,and began wiping her face. She glanced at her mirror.
She stopped her self from screaming on the nick of time. Towel falling on her feet, she stared at her reflection in horror. No way. This is not me. This cannot be me. What is happening?
Her reflection had obviously the same face. Green hair, brown eyes. The face was identical to Ruka's own. If one was to overlook the fact that her reflection had black tattoos ( At least that was what she thought it was) on her face, around the eyes and on the forehead and malicious, cruel smile.
The reflection didn't do anything: It didn't move, just smiled at her. Ruka slowly dropped herself to the floor.
Her hand gripped the fallen towel with her hand her knuckles whitening with fear. She bunched herself in a little ball, under the sink. She closed her eyes and started to breath deeply with effort, saying (and lying) to herself, that this is just her imagination, that its not true, this is her nightmare's fault. She started to believe it too.
Until she inched herself upright to the mirror and saw her dark reflection smiling back at her.
"Who are you?" Ruka finally asked, her voice trembling. She didn't know why this terrorized her so much. I mean, this is the girl to fought Dark Signers and won, dueled Luciano, and almost fought to the death with Aporia. This was out of the league. Horror and Fear leaked out of her from deep within.
Finally the reflection spoke. Her voice was hollow and Ruka could hear the ring of evilness filling her ears, blocking everything out.
"I am your past, present, and future." Then her voice became mocking. "I am Ruka the Guardian of spirit world. I am you."
Ruka backed away slowly. No way. Nuh-uh. This not happening. "You are lying. There is no way that you can be me!"
"No?" The reflection ( Dark Ruka ) replied, still mocking. " Are you sure? I'm afraid you still need some convincing." Dark Ruka put her hand on her heart. "My heart and yours, we are all connected. We're two halves of one." Her smile widening, she began stroking her heart.
Ruka gasped. The pain, the pain! This was not the pain she experienced when dueling with Aporia. This was hundredfolds worse. The duel with Aporia gave her burning pain. This was an icy grip, choking her pounding heart. Thump, Thump, Thump.
Ruka slumped on the floor. Please, stop! With that, Dark Ruka's smile widened. She began stroking her heart faster and faster. no,no! Ruka gasped on the floor, her eyes fading. No,no! Ruka, hold on! Regulus suddenly cried. Your friends are coming to get you. Just hold on. Regulus kept encouraging her, but Ruka could bearly hear anything through her mental link. Her heart was drowning all the sound.
Through her closing eyes, She could still see the reflection grinning at her, her smile filling her face. Then everything became dark.
Thump, Thump, Thump.
Oooooh, a cliffhanger!
Sooooooo, What do you think? I feal so bad I put Ruka through that. Bad HunterArissa, bad! Ah, well.
