Judai's POV, first person
I wandered around the white halls, hoping there was someone who could get me to the nurse's office. That seemed to be too much to wish for, because not a single person was out roaming the halls. This school was too big!
Shadows were growing, and the light from the windows was fading. It was almost the end of the day. I couldn't believe that the exams took that long. Was it really almost nighttime?
Marie groaned occasionally and I looked over at her, but she never woke up. At some point, she broke out in a cold sweat. Her face turned even paler. I was really scared for her when I noticed that.
"Hold on, Marie! I'll get you to the nurse's office. Eventually," I muttered, taking a turn I hoped wasn't leading me further away.
Just when I was about to declare myself hopelessly lost, I saw something move next to Marie. It was the spirit of her Crimson Witch.
"Please help Marie," she pleaded, her ruby-colored eyes tearing up. Her red robes shadowed the rest of her face. "She's under control of that horrible dragon. I don't dare to stay long, he might notice my absence."
"What's the story behind this dragon of her's?" I asked, seizing the opportunity.
"Marie just found him one day, in the trash. She added him to the deck and he seemed kind at first, but then everything changed. He started to control Marie's mind. He told her that all her friends would abandon her, even us, her Crimson beasts. He oppressed us and kept us from trying to reach Marie. She began to believe his lies. Please, you must help her before he does something dangerous."
She faded away as quickly and as quietly as she had come. I didn't even get a chance to ask her for directions! Still, I had gotten some new information.
It took me a few minutes to notice that the halls were lighter, and I looked out the windows to see the sun still high in the sky. What just happened?
When I turned back around, there were people flooding the halls and a door appeared that I was sure wasn't there a few minutes ago. Not only that, but it was the nurse's office that I had been searching for. People were giving me weird looks, but I didn't care. I was still wondering what just happened.
Oh, well. I couldn't worry about that at the moment. I hauled Marie through the crowds to the Nurse's office.
Asuka's POV, second person
So that monster wasn't originally in her deck? The records shown that Marie just found it one day and added it to her deck. After that, there were a lot of weird things that started happening. Her entire attitude would change, and her opponent would recieve real damage. This completely ostracized her from her friends and family and she was sent to the North Duel Academy branch because her parents no longer felt comfortable around their own daughter.
This seemed a lot like Judai's past, but it was also different. And that still didn't answer the question of where that dragon had come from. Looks like she had no choice. Asuka was going to have to request access to that restricted area.
