"Come on, Ichigo. Let's take a walk through the flowers the garden club has worked on." Orihime said. Beautiful flowers were in bloom as Ichigo and Orihime stopped to smell the roses. "Don't you think they did a nice job?"
"I guess so." Ichigo said.
"Thank you." They looked up to see a girl with blonde hair a flower crown on her head.
"Who are you?" Ichigo said.
"My name is Rosa. I'm a member of the garden club. We've worked hard on these flowers. We're in the middle of deciding who should be our club president and I'm one of them runners. It's down between me and a guy."
"A guy? What guy at this school would take part in garden club?" Ichigo said.
"You can see for yourself." Rosa said. She led them to the other side of the school where the rest of the club was at.
"Hi Rosa." All the members said.
"Okay. Where's the guy you were talking about?" Ichigo said.
"No, no, no. Use the yellow roses. It goes great with the color scheme of the classroom through the window and outside." Ichigo and Orihime looked ahead and didn't expect to see him.
"Yumichika?"
"Ichigo, Orihime?" Yumichika said.
"What the heck are you doing in garden club? Don't tell me you're the guy who's also running for club president." Ichigo said.
"As a matter of fact I am." Yumichika said. "I thought I do my part to make this school looking as beautiful as I can. I thought we could add some nice rose bushes and maybe some marigolds at the entrance. Fabulous!"
"You've got to be kidding me." Ichigo said.
"Yumichika was some brilliant ideas for our club." Rosa said. "That's why we're deadlock in votes. Our members can't decide on who would make a better leader. I suggested that we offer our flowers to other clubs to make them more appealing."
"It won't work. Flowers and clubs like science and math won't work." Yumichika said. "The chemicals will make the flowers wilt and the flowers will be use for measurements or something. They'll go to waste. I say that we focus on the appeal of the school to make it beautiful. That way we can show the world that we care for our school."
"As amazing as that offer is, I still want to do my ideas." Rosa said and the two of them went back and forth in arguments.
"Here I thought garden club was a nice and simple club." Orihime said.
"Look, I really don't care for this kind of stuff, but can I offer a suggestion." Ichigo said. "Why don't the two of you duel? That always solves something and it will show who holds the most power."
"A duel?" Rosa said.
"I think that's a great idea. What do you say?" Yumichika said. "We can't get an extra vote to break the tie."
"Very well. You're on." Rosa said. The two of them placed their duel disks on and activated them. They loaded up their duel disks and got started.
"Let's duel!" Both of them said.
"I'll start." Yumichika said. "I'll summon my Garden Peacock in attack mode." A peacock with flowered pattern tail feathers came on the field with 1200atk points. "Then, I'll use the spell Bloom of Beauty. This spell allows me to summon a plant or wing beast from my deck. I think I'll go with my Lady Rose Knight." A female knight in pink armor and roses came up with 1500atk points. "I place a face down to end my turn."
"My move." Rosa said. "I'll start by activating my Growth Seed. This spell gives me a seed token for each card in my hand and I hold five." Five seeds came on the field with no defense points. "Now, I release two of them to summon Garden Guardian." A giant rose flower with a snake like body came on the field with 2600atk points. "I use its special ability. I choose one card on the field and it can devour it to give it 300atk points. I choose your face down." It unraveled a vine and took Yumichika's face down. The petals opened up with a mouth in them and swallowed the card and its points went to 2900.
"Thank you. My face down activates when it's destroyed." Yumichika said. "It's the trap known as Shedding Beauty. Now, I select one monster on my field and we both will lose life points equal to its attack points. I choose my Lady Rose Knight." Both of them got shocked and now had 2500LP.
"Why would you do that?" Rosa said.
"Beauty can be painful. At least, you won't be able to attack me this turn." Yumichika said.
"Fine. I end my turn and my Guardian's points returned to normal." Rosa said and its points dropped to 2600.
"Since it's the end of your turn, my knight will be destroyed." Yumichika said and he lost his knight. "Now, it's my turn. I play my Monster Beautification spell. If I give up 200 of my life points, all non-monster cards." A wind vacuum was created and her remaining tokens were destroyed and Yumichika's points dropped to 2300. "I switch my peacock in defense mode." His peacock had 1300def points. "I'm also going to place a monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"Here goes." Rosa said. "I'm going to summon my Ember Rose in attack mode." A rose that had flames instead of petals came up with 500atk points. "Next, I use my Garden Guardian's ability and I'll sacrifice my Ember Rose."
"Why is she using her own monster?" Orihime said.
"Because when Ember Rose leaves the field, it deals 500 points of damage." Rosa said. Her guardian ate the rose and ember sparks were shot at Yumichika and his points dropped 1800 with the flower serpent having 2900atk points. "My Ember Rose has another ability. It allows me to summon another plant. I summon Marigold Lion." A marigold shaped like a lion came up with 1700atk points.
"Give me your best shot." Yumichika said.
"You asked for it." Rosa said. "Garden Guardian, attack his Garden Peacock." The serpent attacked and chomped down on the peacock. "Marigold Lion, it's your turn." The lion pounced and took out Yumichika's face down monster. When it was flipped over, it only had 800def points.
"Thank you." Yumichika said.
"For what?" Rosa said.
"The monster you destroyed was my Beauty Beast. When it's flipped over, I can choose one monster to switch its modes and it can't switch back until the next turn." Yumichika said. "I choose your guardian." Rosa's guardian went to defense mode and had 2400def points.
"I'm not done yet. I activate the spell card, Flower Venom." Rosa said. "Now, for every plant monster on my field, you lose 600LP." Poison was shot at Yumichika and his life points dropped to 600.
"Good thing she didn't had a third monster on the field." Orihime said.
"Yumichika better do something. This is his last play." Ichigo said.
"That's the end of my turn."
"My move." Yumichika said. "First, I activate my garden Peacock's special ability. When it's in the graveyard, I can draw another card and it comes back in defense mode." He drew his second card and his peacock came back. "Next, I summon my Windstream Peacock." A green peacock surrounded by wind came up with 1300atk points. "Now, I use my Windstream Peacock's ability. Once a turn, I'm able to use a trap from my hand. I choose to play, my Painful Treatment. This will make sure my monsters deal damage to you, even when your monsters are in defense mode."
"But your monsters aren't strong enough." Rosa said.
"That's why I'm going to unite my level three, wind attribute Garden Peacock and Windstream Peacock." Yumichika said. Both of them became green energy and combined together. "I unite summon Ruri'iro Kujaku." A man with blue, braided hair and wore peacock feathers around his arms came up and had only 100atk points.
"That monster only has a 100atk points." Rosa said.
"Not for long. I use his special ability." Yumichika said and both of the unite units went to his monster's hand. "If I use one unite unit, all the attack points of one monster go to him."
"Wait, he used two. That means he's absorbing the power of both of her monsters." Ichigo said. Vines were shot out of Ruri'io Kujaku and wrapped around both of her monsters. Their points went to zero and his went to 4400atk points.
"I would like to take out your Garden Guardian, but you would still have a 100LP." Yumichika said. "That's why I'm taking out your Marigold Lion. Life Drain Bloom." Flowers were blooming on the vines and when they fully bloomed, the lion was destroyed and Rosa lost all her life points. "Looks like I win and I'm the new president."
"Okay. You won fair and square." Rosa said.
"I wonder how well this is going to go." Ichigo said. With Yumichika as the president, he really made the school look more appealing with flowers all around and not a single one was out of place.
"Wow. It's all so beautiful." Orihime said.
"Thank you. I aim to please." Yumichika said.
"Ichigo, what do you think?" Orihime said. Ichigo didn't look so happy considering her had flowers in his hair.
"I feel like we're being educated in a green house." Ichigo said.
"Wait a minute. Those flowers are all wrong for your hair." Yumichika said. "Let's see if I can find something that matches.
"No!" Ichigo shouted as he was trying to find a way out of this flower nightmare.
