Yu-Gi-Oh! Era-X
Chapter 8: Special Chapter - A Holiday Special
The day was cold and windy in Chiyane City. The sky was white and the ground mirrored it. Beautiful flakes of snow were slowly filling the sky, blinding any and everyone out during this time of day. For better or worse, a certain school had several students stuck in buildings, whether it be the dorms, school building, and even the multiple annexes of Suta-Hasha Academy. The school had to resort to the back-up power source because of the snow storm brewing outside, so many of the school's special devices and functions were disabled to conserve more power until the power came back on.
A group of very familar teens, were hanging out in the massive lobby of the school. Now this lobby was actually in the middle of the entire school building, the one in the front was too boring to hang out in. Most teens would regularly choose this one instead because of its mixture of almost everything. It had many bookshelves filled with various books, but that's the boring side of things. It had buttons on the wall that would flip a panel for a holographic computer to just simply pop out. There was even a bean bag area for being lazy, but that's just to name a few.
The platinum-blonde haired Cloe was laying down on a light blue bean bag, staring up and out of the building's skylight that would have usually been displaying some highlights from duels or something along those lines. She watched the snow hit the window with her light sapphire blue eyes, she felt so calm at the moment. Maybe it was the gentleness of the snow that she admired, she did have a soft spot for this time of the year.
Lyone and Jun on the other hand were in the middle of some form of paper work given to all members of the student council by Principal Robinson. Jun was trying to stay optimistic about this inconvience, but even Lyone was down. Jun could see why Lyone wasn't really herself right now, she was doing her and the student council president's work as well. Jun looked across the table and tapped on the solid gray top of it, "Um... Lyone are you-"
Jun had paused once he'd seen the glare from Lyone. It was dark and she seemed to have a dark aura around as well. Her pencil snapped and Jun could have sworn he heard her growl. "I swear once I find that Ranmaru, he's dead!" Her anger for the council president was clearly from the extra work she was given, but she is the vice-president after all.
"... Okay then..." Jun slowly looked back down at his smaller pile of paper, compared to that of Lyone's, and got back to work.
"Yurai we haven't dueled in like forever. Are you that afraid of my skills?" Nikki was trying to get Yurai to duel her. They were standing right infront of a table with some of the others. She knew Yurai would give her somewhat of a challenge, but he just wasn't budging.
Yurai was backing up slowly, "I'm telling you I can't. It's complicated Nikki!" he was acting if he were being threatened by the cherry red head with the pony-tail.
At the table behind the two was the silky black haired girl with pale skin trying to ignore the others as she read a book to herself. "Why can't you just shut up. Your dueling isn't everything you know." Raven said it clearly and coldly.
Aliq laughed, "Wow, you guys are so annoying you made Raven talk." He stopped laughing when he saw Raven glare at him with her violet eyes and simply scratched his white hair.
Luna was beside Hex, seating across from Raven, "I think what she means is that we should be enjoying this day in a different way."
Raven sighed, "No not really, I-"
She was cut off by Hex, "Yeah, today is special after all." It seems that Hex had also misinterpreted Raven's words for something of the kinder variety. "Maybe we should all enjoy this day in a way we can all remember it for years to come."
Ryuuto was seating on a bean bag which was one away from the one a sleeping Walker, who was right beside the daydreaming Cloe. Ryuuto could see them now, lights everywhere, music echoing through out the school building, and everyone enjoying themselves. "We should make it big too! You know. Just because we're stuck in school on this day, doesn't mean we can't enjoy it to the fullest."
"Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" The blonde boy with red eyes said. Fudo knew exactly what Ryuuto was thinking, he knew this kid was a big dreamer, but could they really get it done in time.
Ryuuto nodded, "Let's make this party huge!" he said as he stood up with his arms wide as loud as he could. Ryuuto's uplifting idea got most of those in the room inspired enough to atleast give it a try.
Walker had jumped up off the bean bag he previously laid asleep on, that was until Ryuuto yelled. He then fell back to the bean bag, now wide awake. "What's this about a party?"
Plura, the girl with long black slender hair and dull eyes, was minding her own business before Ryuuto spoke up. She tossed a snake cake into the trash bin behind with no problem before she rested her head on her hands which rested on the table, "How the hell would you pull that off anyway? It's insane and your probability of doing so is extremely l-"
"High..." Cloe spoke with her light voice. She figured now is as good a time as ever to have something of a party. It would really make her day and besides this was the time of the year when anything's possible.
Lyone stood up and tossed her papers to the floor. In her hand she held one pen and one piece of blank paper. "Okay everybody, we are now officially on a mission. Let's make Ryuuto's idea reality!" It would seem Lyone's leadership skills were kicking in and it was in overdrive. "We'll need someone to get the supplies for lighting the party up. Hatsuo, I want you here with me. Your job will be to guide everyone through the school using the D-Pad."
Hatsuo saluted, "I have no reason to disobey you Lyone." he was being silly as he took his seat beside that of Lyone's. He smiled up at her as he slowly moved his chair close to hers.
Lyone looked over at Yurai and then behind him at Tenshi. "Yurai and Tenshi. I have a job for you."
...
"Why do we get the boring job..." Yurai said while moping down the long hallway. He didn't see any importance in the assignment given to them by Lyone. He supposed with all her bright thinking, she had to have a moment of weakness.
"Oh, calm done Yurai. You're over reacting about this." She didn't see why he was really complaining. "We may not have an interesting job... Okay, now I see why you're upset. You didn't want to be paired up with me, did you?" Tenshi gave Yurai her deep crimson red puppy dog eyes. "I understand..."
Yurai waved his hands at his childhood friend, "No, that's not what I-"
Tenshi began to play in her long black pony-tail, twisting it and rolling it with her finger, "I know I'm not as sweet as Cloe nor am I as cool and fun as Nikki... And surely I don't duel, but."
"Young love is it?" a familar voice came ringing through the halls. It would turn out to be their principal, Ms. Robinson. "I know this situation all to well. Step into my office and we can sort this out."
Yurai raised an eyebrow high, "Huh? What? But this was jus-" He was silenced by the finger of Tenshi, who simply winked.
"Mission almost complete." She whispered to Yurai before following their pink haired principal. She seemed to know what she was doing to get their end of the job done. Pretty clever on her half, but would Yurai be able to keep up with her quick thinking.
...
A While Later...
"And I want a baby and a house, no I want lots of babies and ten houses." Tenshi stopped herself and looked at her palm again.
"What was that?" Yurai whispered to Tenshi as Ms. Robinson looked at the two very confused.
"That's what Lyone wrote down on my hand. I was just saying what she told me to say." The black haired Tenshi whispered back to Yurai. She knew she had to think quickly because she didn't want Ms. Robinson going into detail or asking questions she knew she couldn't answer.
"Hey what's that on your desk." Yurai quickly changed the subject as his mind began to think on its own. He pointed to a shiny object and upon futher inspection he would see a giant gem on a ring. "Oh, shiny."
Tenshi looked as well, "Wow, now thats a nice ring. Where'd you get it from? It looks like it cost a fortune." She was fascinated with it and even went as far as taking it from Yurai, whom took it off the principal's desk.
Principal Robinson's face was flushed red and she stood their with a blank stare and unable to answer the question at that exact moment.
Yurai was hovering over Tenshi's shoulder, still checking the ring out. He noticed a small detail while Tenshi flipped the ring around, "What does that say under there?" he pointed to the space beneath the ring.
Tenshi squinted her eyes, "M+C... What could that stand for?"
Yurai tapped his chin, "MC... I know it that music thing!"
Tenshi bopped her friend on his big head, "Why would it be MC." She then began to analyze what she thought it could mean. She then thought about it being like people putting intials in trees and such. If so M would stand for Melina and C would stand for... She had the slightest idea what the C could be.
Yurai looked up at their principal, he had thought of an idea. He think he had it this time, "Umm... Ms. Robinson... are you perhaps Mrs. Robinson?"
Melina exhaled deeply and put a hand on her forehead as she took a seat. She saw no reason to hide it from these two, "Well, honestly it would be Mrs. Utaka."
Tenshi face-palmed herself, she got it now. The C was for Camaru, the Pro-Duelist who visited earlier on this year. Not to mention he was the reason the Suta-Hasha Academy was built in the first place.
"What! You mean like Camaru Utaka!" Yurai shouted. This totally blew his mind. He didn't see that coming one bit. He then fell back in his chair, "Wow, that's pretty darn cool. My principal is married to one of the duelist who inspires me most."
Melina nodded, "So would you understand if I told you to keep it under wraps. The whole world doesn't need to know, at least not now." she said with a laugh.
Yurai narrowed his eyes and gripped his chin, "What will you do for me? I want to be excused from any and all kinds of detention. If you knew what they made me do- Uh..." he shivered, "I can't think about it."
Tenshi pushed Yurai out of his seat, "Of course we will, Principal Robinson." Seriously, she wondered, why did Yurai play around so much.
Yurai then felt his D-Gazer vibrate in his pocket as he lay on the ground with one leg still in the chair. He pressed a button on the side, "Preparations are ready." He saw Lyone in the screen.
"What already? But how?" Yurai asked, a bit puzzled.
"I can't go on anymore, Lyone. Its too much." Yurai could hear Jay's voice in the background.
"Shut up you! You're just lucky we're done." She said with a grin of satifaction, "Don't focus on the details, just know Hatsuo and I sent them to hell."
"I'm innocent! I didn't want to do it I tell you!" Hatsuo voice rang from off camera. "Lyone's a monster, still pretty hot though."
"Anyway, bring Principal Robinson with you. Bye." Lyone cut off communications.
"I don't even want to wonder what they've been through." Tenshi sighed.
...
Everyone had put together an extravagent room of beauty under the order of Lyone. The walls were decorated with white lights and candles with various objects hanging down from the ceiling all elegant-like. The floor was covered in snow and classical music echoed throughout the school. Lyone had Arcaine and Tyson raid the kitchen for food and such. So there were gigantic tables filled with nothing but delights and at the center stood a tall white cake, filled with strawberry.
Ms. Robinson walked in with Yurai and Tenshi, holding her hand over her mouth, "I can't believe it. You guys threw a party that looks this magnificient?"
Jay had dug his way from under a pile of party goods, thrown at him by none other than Lyone herself. "As mentioned earlier. Why waste today sitting around when we could do something productive and profit from it."
"This is incredible you guys." A tear fell from Melina's eye. She felt a flood of happiness throughout. And on today of all days, this was a fantastic event by the kids of her school. It simply filled her with joy that this bunch of students were not just fun-loving trouble makers that she couldn't help but like, but they were all so kind and actually put forth the work and effort to throw the school a party.
Tenshi looked up at Principal Robinson, "Now that stuff from earlier was just a joke. In no way was I serious." She didn't won't their principal to get the wrong idea, after all she was just following Lyone's script down to the bone.
Yurai, still shocked, didn't know what to do first. He looked left and right, should he go to the dancing area with all the flashing lights or straight to the food table? "I just don't know- Who am I kidding." he ran directly to the food table, pushing the likes of Aliq, Fudo, and even Jun out of his way, "Sorry guys, but I'm starved!"
Aliq smirked, "What ever I'm going to the gaming area."
Tenshi couldn't help but wonder how they got all this stuff to work while still being on back-up generators. She crossed her arms, looking around for Lyone.
Lyone popped up behind Tenshi and Principal Robinson, "Don't think to hard on it. You wouldn't want to know." she then whispered in their principal's ear, "Isn't today the day?"
Melina turned around, looking puzzled, "I wouldn't have expected you to remember."
"Remember? Aunt Melina you're so clueless. I never forget, like ever." Lyone whispered one last time before she stood back with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.
Tyson was playing a game with Aliq, Hatsuo, Ryuuto, and Arcaine. He glanced back at the dance floor filled with ladies. "They look so lonely... Why aren't we over there anyway?"
"Maybe because all those girls are swarmed around little Hex." Hatsuo observed. He knew something like this might've happened, the girls were just drawn to Hex's cuteness. Like a little kitten to them all.
Aliq paused the game, "Wait is that Ranmaru with a girl?" he pointed just past the group of girls huddled around Hex.
Arcaine laughed, "That's the daughter of Kaigara Sarutori! You know, Sarutori Towers."
Tyson scratched his head, "Mu right?"
Aliq smirked with a sharp tooth showing, "Looks like we got something to tease him about."
"Come on Yurai that was mine!" Nikki yelled. It was apparent he did something he shouldn't have.
"Oopsie... Did you want that slice, it was pretty big so I figured it was for me..." Yurai tried to explain as honestly as possible. "It happens to the best of us, am I right?"
"Yurai I can't believe you!" Nikki started grabbing food off the ground and everone began to scatter. Nikki then threw a barrage of food, all aimed for Yurai.
"I'm screwed..." he said looking dead at the food approaching him.
"FOOD FIGHT!"
As food flew everywhere Principal Robinson couldn't help but laugh. This brought back memories of her fun days and she sympathised with the children.
"Perfect way to begin a new year." Cloe said with a smile as she stood beside the principal, Tenshi, and Lyone. "Am I right?"
"Hehehe, she will be mine..." ?
