Last Time

Asuka smiled. Normally she would've accepted the duel right away but something told her not to. She shook off that feeling of uncertainty. "Sure, Shou-kun i'd be glad to duel you." She replied smiling sweetly and innocently.

Happy to see that Asuka accepted the duel instead of just backing off like all of the other people who weren't currently Duel-Zombies, Shou smiled happily. "I'll make you one of us..." Shou said, as he readied his Duel Disk. "Game on!"

"What do you mean Shou-kun?" Asuka asked as she turned on her duel disk. She wanted to win but didn't want to lose either. She just hoped luck was on her side.

Later in the duel…

A few turns passed and Asuka was down to 300 LP and it was Shou's turn. She had no more monsters on the field and no face down card to protect her. On Shou's side of the field his Steam Gyroid was present. With his card having 2200 Attack, it was obvious who was going to win this duel. There wasn't a speck of doubt left that Shou wouldn't be the victor. Smirking and with a giggle, Shou pointed his index finger at Asuka. "Now, Steam Gyroid!! Attack her lifepoints directly!!"

Asuka screamed in pain as her life points dropped to 0. Immediately after her bio-band activated draining her energy. But to her surprise, Shou's didn't. "Hey...what's going on...why didn't your bio-band activate?"

Shou looked at his bio-band with an almost dazed look. Looking back at Asuka he just smiled an almost dark smile. "That's because there's no energy left to take away...I'm a Duel Zombie..." He held out his hand to Asuka, "Duel me again...? I could drain the rest of your energy so you could become one of us too...if you become one of us you won't have to worry about feeling the pain of your energy drain ever again..."

Asuka looked at him a little afraid. She didn't like to feel the pain but she wasn't sure if becoming a Duel Zombie was the best option. "Shou-kun...I...don't know." She said uncertainty in her voice.

Shou giggled and smiled a sweet smile up at Asuka. If one didn't know better it was like the regular Shou was still there because the only difference was the dark almost longing look in his eyes. "There is no reason to be afraid...we've all just accepted it and became Duel Zombies...why don't you join us? There's really no reason to stay the way you are right now all alone..."

Short chappie yeah but the angsty will come in chapter 3.
