Lea-Renee: The wait...well I was sick, still am but I'm kind of better.
Rayne: I'm thinking of hiring her out when she gets sick, she goes all domestic and wants to clean things.
Lea-Renee: Yeah well it makes my Mum happy but being sick also causes my mind to go out the window.
Rayne: It's funny when she stands there for ages while trying to think of a word.
Lea-Renee: Yeah...well, here's the chapter, it's a long one (compared to normal).

Warning: Fighting, lack of death and death related injuries.

For the amount of Soldiers their leader, the General, I hadn't heard any of them call him by his name, had to control; he was pretty proficient, not that I was complimenting him or anything; I'd already done enough of that. He had them create a mini circular arena for his prized fighter and I to fight in, it even had a special seat for The General to sit in, stupid snob. All this had only taken them half an hour.

For most of that half an hour I was with Ryo and Edo, who were giving me pointers and telling me to stay calm and stuff like that while Hane Kuriboh was swearing at me for being such an idiot, you really had to love the puff ball look, it completely misrepresented his personality. As the match was drawing closer, The General decided that it's be a perfect time to pop over and hand me a sword, when he held it out I was sure Ryo's eyes were going to pop out of his head.

"Here take it," he said pushing it into my hands.

Looking at him suspiciously took it, for its size it was surprisingly light about the same weight as a foil used for fencing but its size was slightly bigger than a standard broadsword that I'd seen in museums.

I let a sigh escape from my lips. "Beautiful." I didn't know if it was right to call a weapon beautiful but this one was. It had a crystal jewel in the hilt and on the broad part of the blade it had five gems, I was pretty sure that they were a sapphire, an emerald, a cobalt, a topaz, an amethyst, amber and a ruby without faucets so in other words a carbuncle. These Gems were surrounded by swirling runes, I felt my hand begin to trace them I couldn't help it.

The General put a gauntleted hand under my chin bringing my face up so my eyes would meet his. In them I saw a hidden sadness just below the surface but it soon disappeared with a blink of an eye. "Yes but not a beautiful as you."

A blush appeared on my face, to my chagrin. I shouldn't be blushing at his words, he's the enemy, smooth talker or not, I was supposed to be repulsed by him not blushing. Maybe I was blushing because I just didn't expecting it I tried to reason with myself however I couldn't ignore the truth, I was blushing because I liked it. I blame teenage hormones.

I pulled away from him, showing what disgust I could, as soon as I realised that Edo and Ryo were still there watching us. "Keep your hands off me."

He glanced over to Ryo and Edo, a smirk playing with his lips as if he knew my thoughts. "Well good luck," he said, ruffling my hair for good measure.

By the time I was able to think again The General had already turned and was walking away. "I don't need your luck," I yelled after him, I knew he heard me when I heard him let out a chuckle.

"Don't let him get to you," Ryo said placing a hand on my shoulder, his boyfriend nodding in agreement. Even in light of the not so perfect moment I took note that they were perfect together.

Soon after the previous events I was called up into the arena, one side cheering me on the other side booing me. With the guy standing across the arena from me I found myself wondering why all of them wore cloaks if they looked like he did, I mean his very appearance would strike fear in the hearts of all. He was at least a good foot taller than me with a large build, he looked demonic and even had wings protruding from his back, I'm pretty sure they dug him up from the pits of hell.

I looked at the others in the shadow army some had also taken off their hoods, most were human but there were others like him in it. There was a betting pool going around and there was almost no bets on me I even heard one say, "poor sucker he's going to be dead in seconds, Sillva," the demons name I presume, "is going to kick his sorry arse to where ever he came from and they're going to be trying to clean up his decimate corpse for months. Did you know Sillva's never lost a battle? Never gotten a scratch on him either, he's a war god in his own right." That guy just gave me a huge boost of confidence.

"Now we want a clean match, no killing, say you give up to finish" The General said, to much of the Shadow Armies disappointment, "Now begin."

He came charging at me like an enraged bull on steroids, he sword over his head once he got to me he swung in down, I blocked it with my sword, the force reverberating up my arm. I tried to match him blow for blow but all I was really doing was wearing me out, whereas he seemed like an infinite source of energy. I decided to use my size to my advantage and rolled under his blade striking him in the back. A roar of relief and shock spread through the crowd. Whenever I managed to get a hit, nothing seemed to happen; it looked as though he didn't even get a scratch.

Sillva it seems didn't have a weakness and I felt myself giving up even though I knew I couldn't. Distracted in my thoughts he managed to cut my arm, I hissed almost dropping my sword. There was now blood on my sword; with nothing else I could do I kept on dodging. I didn't notice my blood tracing the runes on the sword, past the Gems until a single drop landed on the ground but I did notice when the Gems on my sword lit one by one until the Crystal on the top tit up too. I swear it was like a freaking rainbow irrupted from my sword and as the end of it was not a pot of gold but a Mammoth, a Cat, a Tiger, a Tortoise, an eagle, a Pegasus and so weird cat thing with four ears and a Ruby Carbuncle tail and eyes, behind the resided a Rainbow Dragon.

I was pretty sure I was the only one able to see the animals because no one was paying attention to them, just the laser light show. After a moment the lights died down but the spirits were still there, just as Sillva was about to attack me they leapt on him, pinning him down and relieving him of his sword. I swung my sword randomly making it look like I'd done it and then placed the tip on his throat.

I heard a single pair of hands clapping, The General. "Congratulations, your little friends are free to go and you are to come to me."

Everyone else in the Shadow Army looked pissed off.

Smiling I nodded, I didn't care at least I saved them. "No, let him come with us," Edo ran over grabbing onto my arm.

"A deals a deal," The General replied, "Judai's coming with me."

Judai? I'm pretty sure that no one had called me by name around him, so how did he know it?

"But Judai's..."

I removed my arm from his only for it to be taken by the General. "Edo don't worry about me, it was a promise and I intend to keep it after all I signed a contract and everything. Go look after your people, go look after Ryo."

"But," he tried to argue.

I smiled sadly at him, "No 'buts' just do what I say, please."

The silverette nodded solemnly then went on his way back to his love. "Do you have anything you want to take with you?" he asked almost kindly.

"No," I replied, starting to come off my winning high.

"Okay, now can I have my sword back?" The General asked. I passed the sword to him and as soon as I let it out of my hands the spirits were gone, back into their gems.

As I walked back to his horse with him, I wondered if he knew them were Gem Beasts residing in his sword but that was a question only he could answer. I just hoped that whatever the future brought wouldn't be too terrible.

Like how I incorporated duel monsters even Sillva is one I used his english name because it was easier lol...
