Note: if you may have noticed, yes I put up three chapters tonight. No, this is not typical. I had time and thought that my lovely reader (you guys if you actually exist) deserved more.
The boys slept over that night, and left early. Something about practicing before a big duel. I knew exactly what the meant but I honestly didn't want people to know it was me who was dueling.
On my way out I saw a note tapped to the bedroom door. It said my duel runner was fixed. Huh, when did Yusei get time for that. I grabbed my helmet and headed down to the garage. I started up the duel runner and she purred. It was unfamiliar at first, but before I got to the site I was comfortable.
I parked the duel runner near by, and walked the rest of the way to the place. This didn't seem like all to important of an area. It was a golden beach with nothing near by it except for the luscious water. A poor place to duel in my opinion.
Most of the other duelist arrived, and the first I noticed was Yuesi practicing against Jack. By the time the rounds where announced I was already bored. I went to look at the pairing and a smirk creeped up on my face. I was dueling the red haired duelist, Akiza. She the one who hurt Crow, payback time. Yeah I did kind of despise her for doing that to one of my only friends. Jack, I noticed versed Yuesi. That was going to be fun to watch.
The red head looked as determine as I did when we locked gazes. It was some kind of mutual understanding between duelist that said let the best person win. The duels started with a sound of a gun, which did indeed shock a few of the duelist.
The first thing I noticed about this duel was that it really hurt. Like physical pain, which wasn't something this game should do. Second thing, the red head kept saying something about how she will defeat the shadow duelists and I will not be one to stop her.
Shadow duelist. Something about that sounded familiar. Like something that for the life of me I should never have forgot. This is the point where memory frustrates you to the end of the earth.
Akiza was a good duelist, even though. It might just be the pain from the attacks saying this but god she was hard. It was an stroke of luck I came through. On the turn before I finished it, one of her monsters made a direct attack directed towards my legs. It was all I could to finish the duel.
The red head looked furious at me that I lost, and I just laughed. "That's what you get for messing with my friend," I said, breathing heavily.
At that point heavy rain started and Lilith canceled the rest of the duels. Glad I finished mine. As everyone was leaving I just stood their. Yusei came over to Akiza and chatted. The pain in my legs kept throbbing and I fell to the floor still conscious.
Yusei ran over to me, my cloak must have feel off. "Nicole," he practically screamed. Not everybody quite left because Aryan was at my side in an instant helping me up on my legs.
"Let go of me," I hissed at Aryan. I wasn't in a mode to deal with him right now.
Yusei came over and transferred my weight from Aryan to him. "I gotcha Nicole, don't you worry," he consoled.
Aryan, spitefully, said, "of course it would be one guided by the light of the dragon she found. Just you wait, you'll find out her secret and want nothing to do with her again." After that he practically vanished, or maybe that was just the pain. I couldn't really tell right then.
I muttered, "why can't threats ever be simple."
Yusei smiled, "they never are."
