Chapter Nine
In the morning or what you consider as morning, Edo found himself on the leaning against a tree. He looked around and noticed that Hell Kaiser, Judai, Johan, Jim, Kenzan, Fubuki, and O'Brien was talking to each other about something. "Um...what's going on guys?" questioned Edo. They stopped and looked at him. "You're finally awake Edo!" grinned Judai. Edo blinked and stood up. Fubuki asked, "Do you know what happened to Sho?" Edo was silent as the scene from last night played in his head. He shook his head. Ryo sighed in disappointment when he noticed something around Edo's neck. He pointed and questioned, "What the hell is that?" Edo blinked in confusion before looking down. He realized that it was a dragon pendant. He took it off and stared at it. However, he stopped when Ryo walked over and snatched it from him. Ryo glanced at it and his eyes hardened. Johan noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" "This is Sho's," replied Ryo before he glared at Edo who flinched. Before he can say something, a voice asked, "What the hell? What are you guys doing here?" Everyone turned to see a figure dressed in a white cloak. On his right hand was a silver duel disk. Fubuki remembers those eyes and pointed at the boy. "Hanafubuki Toushiro?" The boy raised an eyebrow before his eyes widened as realization dawned on him. "Eh!? Tenjoin Fubuki!? Marufuji Ryo!? Yuki Judai!? Johan Anderson!? Jim Crocodile!? Austin O'Brien!? Edo Phoenix!?" yelled Toushiro pointing at them in surprise.
Fubuki quickly closed his mouth and said, "Quiet! We can't let them hear us!" Toushiro blinked and nodded. Fubuki slowly brought his hand away and Toushiro adjusted his cloak. He asked, "What are you guys doing here?" "We came here to find Sho," replied Jim. Toushiro nodded as if understanding their situation when he heard rustling. They turned to see Sho carrying something in his arms. Judai was immediately at Sho's side and looked at the thing...or person that he was holding. He gasped loudly causing others to come as well. "Who is it?" questioned Edo. Sho replied, "It's Saotome Rei from Duel Academia remember?" They were all shocked. Kenzan asked, "What's she doing here?" "Who knows? But I found her in the...nevermind. We should get her warm. She's freezing," answered Sho as he took off his cloak and wrapped it around Rei who was indeed shivering.
Judai asked, "Where were you last night Sho?" "Um...I went out to patrol. Did I wake you guys up?" replied Sho tilting his head. Everyone blushed besides Toushiro and Edo and shook their heads. Sho smirked and adjusted Rei in his arms. He said, "Well then...we should go find some shelter for you guys." "What? Why?" asked Johan. Sho sighed and shifted nervously from one foot to the other. He replied, "Well...I think it's because I'm planning to head out soon." O'Brien's eyes widened. "Are you going to fight the Lord of Hell by yourself?" he asked. Everyone almost stopped breathing and stared at Sho who was staring straight at O'Brien. Finally, after a moment of silence, Sho replied, "Hai." "But that's crazy!" yelled Kenzan angrily. The younger Marufuji turned away.
He said, "It has nothing to do with you." He felt everyone glare at him. Toushiro sighed and replied, "Well...I might as well take Rei. I have a tent around in this area so I can take care of her. Everyone can come along if they want." Sho nodded and handed Rei over to Toushiro while the white-haired boy took off Sho's cloak and gave it back to his friend. Sho put on his cloak and sighed. "I'm going with you Sho," growled Ryo as he crossed his arms as to prove his point. Sho looked at his elder brother and replied, "No. Somebody has to stay with Toushiro and Rei. All of you. This didn't concern you in the first place." Then he turned to leave if it wasn't for Johan grabbing him from behind. "Ugh! What is with people and grabbing me from behind!?" yelled Sho in frustration. Jim crossed his arms and replied, "Well...we wouldn't have to do it if you just stop for once and listen to us!"
Sho immediately became quiet after Jim yelled. Everyone's eyes widened and stepped back from Jim who was sweating bullets nervously. He laughed nervously. Johan held onto Sho's wrists while the younger blunette had to listen what everyone says. "It does concern us Sho. It concerned us when you made the deal with the Lord of Hell," said Johan. He blinked when he heard Sho say, "His name is Yuumei." Johan shrugged and continued, "You also risked your life probably a thousand times for us." "Only 20 times," corrected Sho shrugging. Ryo gave out an exasperated sigh and crossed his arms. "That's not the point. When you made that deal, you risked not only your life but our lives as well," stated Ryo. Sho sighed and thought, 'I'll never get out of this.' As the others continued to talk, Sho's eyes became a golden-red color. They gasped as a bright light surrounded them.
(Flashback)
Sho yelled in pain as his back collided with the door. He looked at Judai in shock who was panting heavily. "What was that for Judai!?" yelled Sho. Judai glared at him angrily through golden orbs. He replied, "Why!? Then answer me this?! Why did you hit Asuka!!" Sho's eyes narrowed and slowly stood up. He answered, "I didn't hit her!! She hit me and nearly killed me!" Sho flinched as Judai strucked him again. The bluenette coughed out blood and touched his shoulder. Sho glared at him and breathed heavily. He wiped away the blood that was dripping from his lip. "Don't you dare say that about Asuka!!! She'll never do a thing to you!!" yelled Judai as he picked Sho up from the collar of his shirt. He yelled, "And don't you dare lie to me etiher! It was your fault in the first place that I turned into the Supreme King of Dark World! You could've stayed by me but noo! You had to go and betray me! You (insert a string of curse words here)!" Then Judai threw Sho to a wall. Sho screamed in pain and held the same shoulder. It was beginning to bleed and it didn't help when he kept slamming into a wall. The younger Marufuji continued to breathe heavily and swore to himself that he can practically feel his heart starting to rip out of his chest.
Outside, Asuka smiled to herself. Everything was working out perfectly! If this continues, then Judai will banish Sho from the group. They didn't need him anyways. He was weak and always depending on others to be there for him. She mentally sneered. Heck, he wasn't even a good duelist for heaven's sake! He just passed by luck that's all! She smirked wider. Besides, it's not like anyone would notice or miss the little brat! How wrong she was...
Fubuki and the others were sitting around the fire when they heard the crash in the room. "I wonder what Judai and Sho are talking about," murmured Edo. Hell Kaiser's eyes narrowed but shrugged. Fubuki sighed and took out his ukelele. Everyone hung their head in defeat as Fubuki began to play.
"Who do you believe more Judai!? Me or Asuka?!" yelled Sho angrily. Judai's eyes narrowed and replied, "Why Asuka of course! What kind of question is that?" Sho's eyes widened in disbelief. He gritted his teeth and his eyes turned blood red. Judai's eyes widened and stepped back. What everyone heard next shocked them. "I HATE YOU YUKI JUDAI! YOU HATE ME BECAUSE I BETRAYED YOU!? WHAT KIND OF REASON IS THAT!? Did you forget, everyone was starting to turn against you for a reason!! You were mainly focused on Johan that you couldn't see that everyone was beginning to drift away!!" Sho became silent for a moment before asking quietly, "You had a wonderful childhood didn't you?" Judai's eyes widened. "Sho...I-I," started Judai. Sho shook his head and gave him a small, sad smile while his eyes held the look of hatred. "I hate you Judai." Then Judai felt like something was removed from his shoulders. Sho turned around and touched the door knob. He looked over his shoulder and said, "After you find Johan, Judai. Leave. There's nothing for you here anymore." Then Sho left ignoring the looks from everyone else.
Hell Kaiser stood up and everyone felt a killer intent forming around him. Asuka's eyes widened when Ryo walked over to Judai and punched him in the face. "Why did you do that Ryo?" demanded Asuka. She flinched when Hell Kaiser glared at her. He replied, "He fucking drove my brother away! If he dies, then it's Judai's fault!" "If he dies then it's better for all of us right!? I mean, he was in the way and everything!" retorted Asuka before realizing what she said and quickly shut her mouth. Everyone stared at her with wide eyes. Especially Fubuki. "Asuka..." murmured Fubuki. Judai said nothing. Amon said, "Too late." Everyone looked at him. Kenzan asked, "Why is that?" "Well...even when we save Johan, we can't leave because I heard that we need all the people we came here with to go back. But, since Sho's gone, I don't think that's possible," answered Amon looking at all of them. Judai paled while Hell Kaiser's eyes narrowed. Edo's eyes widened and he quickly left the hut. "Where is he going?" murmured Asuka. Edo looked outside and noticed something in the ground. He paled and picked it up. It was Sho's deck. 'Sho...did Judai's betrayal hurt you that much?' thought Edo.
Sho fell down to his knees and breathed heavily. Blood ran down from his shoulder and back. His eyes were dazed and he could feel his strength disappearing. 'Weak...Asuka's right...I'm weak...' thought Sho. His eyes widened as he noticed a pair of feet. He looked up to see a man with spiky red-brown hair with the same colored eyes. "Who are you?" asked Sho as he slowly stood up. He was surprised when the man held out a hand towards him. The man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid little one. I'll help you." Sho glanced at the hand before hesitantly grabbing it. The man smirked as a dark aura began to radiate off of Sho.
The younger Marufuji winced. "You can feel can't you Sho? The darkness in your heart that's just awakening. Do you want it to go away? Or...do you want to control it?" asked the man smirking wider. Sho visibly flinched as the darkness touched his skin. Not to mention that the man's hand was abnormally freezing cold. 'Judai hates you now Sho...there's no reason anymore to stay a goody-two-shoes anymore,' thought Sho angrily to himself. The man's hand gripped harder. The younger Marufuji replied, "I want to control it." The man grinned and a cloud of darkness surrounded them. Then, a familiar melody was heard. Sho's eyes widened. It was the same melody he played when that silver firefly turned into that ocarina! (once again, the melody is lugia's song from pokemon 2000) The man said, "Repeat after me. I hear." "I hear," repeated Sho. The man continued, "thy call."
"Thy call."
"And I."
"And I."
"Shall answer."
"Shall answer."
Then everything became dark.
