What Part of "This Is YuGiOh! Town" Do You Not Understand?
Day 1
January 14, 2013
in an Alternate Reality where Card Games control the world
9:00AM - Asuka's classroom
"Good morning class!", Asuka Tenjouin smiled as she wrote on the chalkboard, "I am Tenjouin Asuka, your Duel Monsters teacher."
A guy that looked tough huffed, "You're one of those 'Duelists' that plays Duel Monsters!"
Asuka looked confused. He looked like any average student that was going to be a duelist, slightly overweight, wearing glasses and had a frizzy Jewfro otherwise.
"Why yes... I thought that's what you're here for: learning about Duel Monsters.", she muttered, blinking for a moment in her confusion.
"Leave him be, Ms. Tenjouin; He's a Batosupi player.", a buck toothed student with a bowl haircut muttered.
"Batosupi?", Asuka asked curiously.
"Yes! That's a class we should recquire in this academy! Learning about the game, Battle Spirits, is a lot more interesting than that 'Duel Monsters' game! What a joke!"
"Man, shut the Hell up!"
The buck-toothed boy from before punched the overweight kid in the face. A huge uproar happened and male students were crowding over and beating him to a pulp. Asuka couldn't take it; she was feeling nauseous after someone drew blood.
"All of you! To the Chancellor's Office, now!", Asuka roared.
4:30PM - Phone Booth near the school
Asuka was on the phone with Richard Slysheen, her bodyguard at age 17 straight out of Slifer Red. Her new, pretty blue business attire was dripping with sweat and tears as she gulped nervously before beginning to speak.
"There's a war between card games at the high school I decided to teach, Richard. I called in Judai, in hopes to get people to at least get along; He's always good at that. Still, I'll acquire your protection; Although the Batosupi players like to start a fight, the Duelists always throw the first punch and the both may put me in danger."
Asuka knew Richard will probably ask why she'll need Judai again. After all, despite being in the same dorm as him, Richard only really saw Judai as the person that actually got the forest green haired boy into Duel Academy 2 years back after defeating the brunette she remembered during her years there.
"Is Marufuji Ryo not there? Is there not an Applebee's I could treat you both to?"
Asuka groaned. Richard always tried to hitch her with Ryo, but she only saw him as her brother's best friend as well as a person to talk to when she was down. She had NO romantic feelings for someone that affiliates himself with Fubuki of all people. She also could not understand what Richard meant. Applebee's, What the Hell is that?!
"Bah! I wish I could make myself known to those wankers so they get the ass-whuppin' they deserve!"
Just get over here, already! Asuka felt her hair stand straight as two faces suddenly drew closer. They were peculiar faces and Asuka presumed they were just freshman by how young they looked.
"Yeah, uh, if thou art in danger, I'll shut off this Final Fantasy 6 game. I need to save first, then get changed."
"Richard...", Asuka muttered before the white haired foreigner boy finally began to speak.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Tenjouin? Forgive my rudeness of interrupting your phone call, but you're our teacher this year. Can you tell us what we missed?"
His red-head friend intervened, "Yeah! We were hosting a Batosupi Tournament!"
Seeing they were the only two faces in the room, she noticed they were pretty comfortable talking to her about Battle Spirits despite her two cents on the card game and their fanbase based on the interaction in class today. She began to think to herself, Fuck!
"Just a second, Rich; I have two Batosupi players that actually addressed me politely. They're also students..."
"Fair enough."
Asuka hung up the phone and looked the two of them in the eye. While the white haired boy had teal eyes that represented the ice cold environment his family might be from, the red-haired boy had bright fiery red eyes. They were obviously not wearing the school uniform, but Asuka can tell they were two of the absent students written on her attendance: Toppa Bashin and Juri Sawaragi.
"W-well...", Asuka began to stutter, "Not much... T-there was a fight brought up against some Batosupi players and duelists in the classroom..."
"Hey! Chillax, Ms. Tenjouin! We're not gonna heckle you for being a Duelist! That's why we're here!", the red head, Toppa Bashin smiled.
"What my friend, Toppa Bashin is going to say is...", the white head, Juri "J" Sawaragi began to murmur...
"We're gonna be the next King of Games!", Toppa finished.
"Umm... Yes, and to do that, we have to know more about games than just Duel Monsters, am I not correct?", J asked.
"Ah... Well, I'll teach you all I can, boys; You guys seem to be bright and observant faces (not like the ones who seem to hate learning about Duel Monsters...)", Asuka smiled.
Asuka then saw J look down, almost in shame or remorse or sadness. Toppa did the same as well.
"We have the assimilate ourselves. After all, the Kaiba Corporation will take over card shops all over Japan in no time. Then where will be our skills?"
"Yeah, J brings up a good point; They've stopped selling Batosupi cards where we live."
No wonder the hostility... The Kaiba Corportation recently banned card games not relating to Duel Monsters., Asuka thought.
"Our friends and family were recently arrested for their efforts to help revive Batosupi tournaments. We had to host them in their place because of it. Don't tell anyone else, okay?", Toppa then added.
"Alright... Do you two live alone now?"
"Yeah, but just today we got evicted. Don't worry about us, though; We'll be safe.", Toppa muttered, trying to comfort a crying J on his shoulder.
"No! This is not safe; How about you stay at my place instead?", Asuka muttered.
She couldn't stand picturing the two boys homeless, living in a box and depending on their former card game as a food source instead of it's intended purpose. She couldn't stand seeing the two boys being like feral cats and going insane due to their loss of a family and a warm house to sleep in. Worst of all, she couldn't stand watching them die slowly.
6:00PM - Asuka's Apartment
"Oh, you're bringing guests? I'll bake them a cake!", Richard smiled. His bright amber eyes looked at the two boys with an unbiased, welcoming gleam.
"I'm glad you're taking Batosupi players living under your roof this well; I take it you'll accept Judai in here as well?", Asuka asked, kicking off her high heels and sitting down on a warm pillow in her surprisingly large apartment complex.
"Since Judai is your maid of honor, I have no reservations towards welcoming a friend of you and your beloved Kaiser.", Richard smiled.
Asuka hissed, disgusted she didn't remind him already, "Ryo and I are just friends."
"Oh bother. I must've dreamt the wedding in my sleep again.", Richard shook his head in disappointment.
"Do you always place shitty expectations on your landlady?", J asked a little irritated by Richard's behavior.
"I'm sorry, but you're not Jyubel...ee... So what are you exactly?", Richard asked.
"Seeing you're a duelist and not a Batosupi player, I don't blame you for not asking you for an introduction.", J muttered coldly at Richard.
"He is J Sawaragi, one of the elite Batosupi players. He and another player, Toppa Bashin, are students of mine.", Asuka then said, glaring at the both of them for already showing friction towards each other.
A few minutes of staring down at each other later and Judai finally showed up.
"Hey guys! I'm here!", he bellowed, kicking the door open.
"Judai!", Asuka smiled.
Judai began to hug Toppa, as if he was a little boy, "And who is this little trooper?!"
"Knock it off!"
"Silly Judai... They aren't my kids! I'm not even married yet! These are students that were homeless!", Asuka laughed, correcting him.
"Oh... OH... So sorry about that, buddy! I totally thought Asuka married and had kids by now!", Judai gasped noticing his mistake of actually noogie-ing a stranger.
"How would a woman in her late 20's have boys in their late teens?", Toppa murmured, still irritated he wasn't able to get a word in on his non-consensual noogie.
"Toppa has a point.", J noted.
"Besides! J's my boyfriend! (and incest is wrong!)", Toppa grinned, side-hugging J tightly.
"Aren't we best friends?!", J squeaked in red shock.
Now that I think about it, Toppa did remind me of Judai... They can pass as children of me and Judai... If not for Toppa's love for J..., Asuka thought to herself.
"Well, true... but I can't see you with anyone else!", Toppa passionately told J.
Richard obviously was too busy staring at Asuka to pay attention to the two Battle Spirits playing lovebirds.
"You're not hatching a Hunger Games plan, are you? Madamme Tenjouin, reconsider this. I'm off to dry clean a costume to bash the face of whoever is responsible for this TRAVESTY!", Richard hissed disgusted.
Asuka was speechless.
"Well, it's obviously Seto Kaiba, the guy that built Duel Academy and...", Toppa muttered only to be interrupted by Richard.
"I'm pretty sure even he has standards...", Richard noted.
"Please... He's obviously doing this. By now, everyone knows the secret to being the King of Games...", J exclaimed, "Banning other card games, it prevents his sworn arch-rival, Yugi Mutou, as well as other duelists from being the King of Games."
Everyone looked at J ready to hear what he has to say next on his hypothesis. He sipped his green tea and then continued.
"Selfish, I noticed, and no different to a Battle Spirit player's ideology, but that is is the duelist's goal: to be the King of Games. Am I not correct?", J asked.
"Right. I'm still in utter disbelief of this. Wouldn't he, oh I dunno... Welcome all games?", Richard asked observantly.
"Something is wrong then... Why would he only allow Duel Monsters to be played?", J then muttered, now looking nervous like he made a mistake in his homework.
"J is right; Seto owns the Kaiba Corporation. They're running the government... Who else would do this?", Asuka asked.
9:00PM - Kaiba Manor
Mokuba's pitch black hair matched the shadows of the nightfall. His gleaming blue eyes held a mischievous gleam to them. Seto was behind him, wearing a beautiful white business suit.
"Limiting the amount of games to play will eventually prevent other players from being King of Games... Soon, the reign of Emperor Mokuba will be born.", Mokuba said with a devilish grin, revealing to be in a blood red cape as well as his usual blue and white long-sleeved shirt and bright orange vest.
"The only competition we have now are those Pokemon games, dear brother...", Seto smiled nervously.
"POKEMON?! What part of 'This is YuGiOh! Town Mother****er' do they not understand?!", Mokuba growled.
"Obviously the two underground Batosupi players that escaped didn't get that memo either, little brother...", Seto muttered.
Mokuba took the time to realize what Seto was trying to tell him: There were underground card game players that escaped the clutches of the police's handcuffs. He did not take it very well...
"CAPTURE THEM BOTH!", Mokuba hissed, being heard all across the mansion, "Anyone suspect of being players Toppa Bashin and Juri Sawaragi must be sent to me immediately!"
Mokuba clapped his hands and a bright light introduced a new face to the story, an officer, obviously of a rich pedigree, but had the roughness of the rejected runt of the litter. This new face was Officer Manjyome Jun.
"Officer Manjyome!"
"Aye, sir..."
Mokuba then handed him a picture showing the two boys running away as if being chased by a monster.
"Find me those boys... I want to play a little game with those Batosupi freaks.", Mokuba muttered, hissing when he said 'Batosupi', almost as if trying to slurp it back into his mouth.
"AYE SIR!"
Manjyome was off on his night patrol, looking for homeless boys that matched the picture.
