Last Time

Ryo and Shou both drew 5 cards.

"I'll start onni-san. I'll place 2 cards facedown and summon Infernal Dragon in attack mode." (2000/0) A black-green scaled dragon appeared on the field growling menacingly at Ryo.

"That ends my turn." Shou replied softly.

Ryo drew a card and smiled. "Sorry little bro but I have the card to win right here." He flipped over Power Bond.

"Oh no!" Shou cried.

Ryo calmly sent 3 monsters to the graveyard. "I fusion summon Super Vechicroid Jumbo Drill." The drill from Shou's earlier duels appeared with 6000 points.

"I reveal my trap. It's Chthonian Polymer so I sacrifice my Dragon to take control of your monster."

"Very well. Due to Power Bond's effect I now lose 3000 points next I'll place one card facedown and end my turn." Ryo said calmly as his life point meter went to 1000.

"My turn. Draw." Sho drew a card.

"You triggered my trap card. It's known as Raigeki Break. I simply discard 1 card to destroy any card on the field that I want. And I choose your Drill."

Shou groaned as his monster exploded into pixels. He tossed the card back to Ryo and he slipped it back into his own grave.

"Now I play my Card Destruction card. So now we discard every card we're holding then we draw the same amount." Shou explained.

Ryo nodded. He discarded his 2 then drew 2 more.

Shou discarded 3 one of which was Exploder Dragon. He then drew 3. "I summon Cyber Dark Horn!" Shou shouted as a demonic-like machine appeared on the field. (800/800)

"Now my monster's special ability activates letting me bring back Exploder Dragon and attach it to Cyber Dark Horn. Therefore his attack points go up to 1800."

Ryo was down to a mere 1000 points with nothing on the field. He was immensely proud of his little brother.

Shou was shocked by the playing field at the moment. He was winning. On Shou's side of the field, not only did he have more life points but he also had the Cyber Dark Horn combined with the Exploder Dragon. With one direct attack to Ryo he would win. He would surely save his brother. Without hesitation, Shou called his attack. "Cyber Dark Horn! Attack Ryo's life points directly!" Shou shouted.

Ryo smiled as his life points dropped to 0. "You did it little brother.. thanks to you I'll be saved."

Shou couldn't help but feel tears form in his eyes, though they were tears of joy. "O-Oniisan...!!" He rushed over to his brother's side, and wrapped his arms around him hugging the taller bluenette tightly. He leaned against Ryo's chest and couldn't help but cry as he hugged him. "I'm so happy...I'm so happy, I saved you! You're going to survive!!"

Ryo smiled happily. "Yes thanks to you." Asuka grinned evilly in a way happy for Ryo.

Shou let go of Ryo, his silver and red eyes glistening in the light. "I'm so glad..."

End flashback

Asuka laughed evilly. "So am I."

Johan looked at her confused. "Why do you care about Hell Kaiser?"

Shou looked away from his brother and over to Johan, to answer the question that was originally aimed for Asuka. "He's my Oniisan...of course I'm going to continue to care about him. No matter what change that happens to me, I'll never stop loving my big brother!"

"But Shou he nearly killed you.." Judai said trying to reason with his now evil best friend.

Shou's eyes narrowed at Judai as he was reminded about that painful memory. "That's none of your buisness!!" Shou snapped, raising his voice at the brunette. "He...that's just Oniisan's dueling style...he would never really kill me!"

Ryo smiled with tears in his eyes.

Judai shook his head and played a tape of their duel showing how ruthless Ryo was how he disrespected his cards just to have a chance to humiliate his younger brother.

Though now dark at heart, Shou still felt hurt at watching that duel. Tears started to form in his silver and red eyes and he looked away from the televison, unable to watch anymore. "N-no..." He said in a small tone, "Please...please turn it off...I don't want to see it anymore!!" Trying to be brave and strong, Shou quickly wiped his tears away and glared up at Judai. "It doesn't matter what Ryo-kun did in his past!! He's still my big brother no matter what and...!!" He looked down, "No matter what...I still love him...I never want anything bad to happen to my big brother..."

Judai laughed shocking Johan.

Shou glared at Judai angrily, "What the hell's wrong with you!? Why are you laughing!? You just don't understand...!!!"

Asuka hugged Shou tightly.

Ryo smirked teasingly. "Hey little bro you never told me ya had a girlfriend." He teased.

Shou was a little surprised by Asuka's hug so he couldn't help but blush, but then he hugged her back. His blush deepened, however, when he heard Ryo's teasing tone. "I...u-uh...y-yeah...me and Asuka-chan are g-going out...we just recently told each other h-how we feel..."

Ryo giggled. "Thats so cute. My little bro has his first girlfriend someone i almost asked out." He said blushing himself.

Judai snickered.

Shou couldn't help but feel proud thinking that he got someone as a girlfriend that Ryo had wanted before. He smirked but then giggled too, "Yeah, I was pretty surprised too but..." He smiled up at Asuka darkly, "I'm happy, I love Asuka-chan."

Asuka smirked back. "And i love you Shou-kun." She said sticking her tounge out at Judai.

Shou giggled and stood up on his tippie-toes to kiss her on the cheek. He then looked at Judai and smirked at him. "Heh."

Johan smiled. "I'm happy for ya little buddy. Shes a nice girl." Johan said almost teasingly causing Asuka to blush.

Shou actually felt happy to hear Johan say that about his girlfriend, but he was still bitter towards him and Judai and so he didn't want to show his happiness. He stubbornly looked away, folding his arms cockily. "I know she is, you don't have to tell me that twice."

Johan chuckled walking over to his side.

Shou looked up as Johan started walking near. He glared stubbornly, "What do you want!?" He insisted right away.

"I can see why you hate Judai." Johan whispered something that would've shocked Judai to his core if he had heard it. "Hes usually a jerk." He whispered.

Shou's eyes widened when he heard Johan whisper that to him. He would've never in a million years expect Johan to go and say that about his very own clone. But still, it made him smirk and he was amazed to hear this. "Even to you...?" Shou whispered back.

Johan smirked almost evilly. "Yeah especially to me..so mind helping me settle the score?" He whispered.

Shou was completely surprised that Johan was saying all of this. But hearing him made him happy to know that he'd have another alley against Judai. He smirked as he whispered, "I'd love to...I'll side with anyone against Judai."

Johan chuckled almost darkly as he held out his hand asking for a handshake to seal their new alliance.

Shou still wasn't 100 sure that he trusted Johan yet, but he decided that it would be okay as long as he was careful. Giggling slightly in an evil way, Shou too put out his hand to shake Johan's.

Johan has now joined the dark side. R&R to see what happens next.
