I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
(Well I think I broke GX in plot wise but then again, the beginning of season one had little to no plot what so ever so I just let you guys tell me what you think. As for me, this is why I shouldn't write fun made chapters. My brain just messes everything up. Like I would have had this done sooner but I didn't like where it was going so I had to do some rewriting which was a pain let me tell you guys. *sighs* And this is why I hate my writing style...well there's goes my emo moment for the day XD. So anyway, I like to give a shout out to my buddies Tigerzaley and shadowwwWolf who were the ones that created the duel that was in the chapter besides a few changes I made to it and the OC in this chapter also belongs to shadowwwWolf as well. So thanks guys! Also this right here wasn't planned on being in this chapter but somehow went with the plot so I kinda had to but for you Fianceshippers out there, please don't yell at me for adding way to much Titaniumshipping into this chapter and maybe hinting at something there as well. I promise I will try to add in some Fianceshipping scenes as well too in the next few chapters too. Anyway, I hope you guess will enjoy this but if you don't, then don't worry since the next chapter will have Crowler getting hit in the face with a baseball *evil smirk* R&R!)
"Kia, not to be rude or mean or anything at all but your making this a lot worse than it sounds. I mean, you're just getting a roommate. It's not like it's the end of the world or anything." Masika pointed out to the British girl as she followed after her down the halls of the girls' dorm.
"I know it's not, Masika, but it just annoys me that we're getting so many new students and the year just started! For calling out loud, if you want to come to Duel Academy then just bloody come to the entrance exams like everyone else and not a month later when all of the rooms are taken up!" Kia ranted on before she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Yeah, if you haven't noticed already, Kia wasn't really having a good day so far. First she was late to class because she over slept and it didn't help when she noticed that she was late, she fell straight out of bed and landed right on top of her Duston gang who were busy trying to wake her up and got more than they hoped for. Then when she did make it to class, she fell right back asleep five minutes later and got detention for it. After that was over with, she made her way back to the girls' dorm for some R&R when she ran into Miss Fontaine who informed her that they were getting a new student and since they were running low on rooms, she asked Kia if she would share hers. Kia, uh course, said yes to it since she knew, in the back of her mind, she was going to get over it sooner or later but at the moment, she was kinda in rage mode about it.
"Well you never know, Kia, maybe you and your new roommate will turn out to become best of friends. Like didn't you and Jaden hit it off right away? Maybe the same thing will happen here." Masika replied.
"Jaden has that effect on everyone, Masika." Kia pointed out as she stopped in front of a door that had a double decker ice cream cone sticker on it. Kia took her room key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. "But I guess you're right, Masika. Whoever this girl is, she can't be any worse than the day I'm having today."
After that, Kia opened her door and took a step inside her room but as soon as she saw it, her jaw dropped to the ground.
Now Kia wasn't neat freak. She will admit that her room will sometimes get a little bit messy but this…..this wasn't what she left her room with.
First off, there were clothes scattered everywhere: t-shirts, tank tops, jeans, and one of her space Obelisk jackets along with a few other clothes items that Kia knew weren't hers. Then there were candy wrappers on the floor as well, near the mini trash can that Kia had in the corner. Kia guessed that whoever was in here was trying to shoot the leftover wrappers into the trash can but ended up missing every time and was too lazy to get up and throw them away properly. But what really made Kia lose it was the giant red carpet stain she found on her floor. That was going to take weeks to get out since she had no idea what made it.
Kia knew at that moment her left eye was twitching like crazy from this. "Who…trashed….my….ROOM?!" She yelled.
"Uh Kia…." Masika started but was soon startled when someone shot right past her into the room, making Masika fall right onto her butt from surprise.
"Hope!" That same someone exclaimed and before Kia could even make a turn, she was bear-hugged tackled to the ground.
"What the?" Kia gasped in surprise as she looked up to see who was hugging her so tightly that she was starting to have trouble breathing but as soon as Kia noticed that the person was female with ginger hair, blue eyes, and had a British accent, her eyes widen. "Amber?!"
"Yep;" The person laughed as she let Kia out of her death hug and stood up. "I'm back!"
"Yeah in my room dressed in blue." Kia mumbled noticing that the other English girl was dressed in an Obelisk blue jacket with a spaghetti strap top underneath, the normal short skirt, and Nike high tops in blue. Her hair was also pulled up into two ponytails. "Speaking of which…what the bloody hell are you doing here?"
"Well isn't it obvious? We're roommates again! Just like old times!" Amber grinned and from outside the room, Masika blinked at all of this, surprised and also wondering how her friend and this girl knew each other.
"Oh crap…." Kia groaned before she chuckled nervously. "Uh, you're not still mad at me for the whole 'pouring fake blood' on you during Halloween at the prep school, are you?"
"What? Uh course not! That's water under the bridge."
"Okay good, for a second there, I thought you just came here looking for revenge."
"Do you think I have a one track mind or something, Hope? I came here for my love of dueling!" Amber said giving Kia the 'no duh' face.
"Yeah I can tell." Kia replied as she stood back up. "Also two things: one, I go by Kia now and two….why the hell did you trash my room?!"
"Kia…." Masika started but she was cut off by Amber.
"Well….Kia….wow that's going to take a while to get used to….I was one, seeing if any of your clothes still fit me which thankfully they do since I didn't bring many of mine and two….so I could set something up."
"Set something up?" Kia questioned.
"Uh Kia…."
"Not now, Masika."
"But Kia…."
"Just a second, Masika;"
"But I really think you should…."
"Okay what is it?!"
"Look….up…."
Kia blinked at that and she did….only to see a bucket taped to the ceiling above her that was swinging back and front until it tip over and fake blood poured right down onto Kia, covering her from head to toe. Now she knew what the red stain on the floor was from.
"Yeah I'm not mad at you anymore but that was too good to pass up." Amber laughed making a now in rage again Kia glare at her.
"Amber, you are so dead."
"Yeah if you can catch me that is." With that, the ginger dashed out of the room and down the hallways of the Obelisk dorm.
"Oh no you don't! Get back here!" Kia took off after her with murder in her eyes while Masika just stood there, more confused than ever.
…..
Jaden wasn't the type of person to say that he hated anyone. The closest people that he would say he hated were his parents, for obvious reasons, and Haou at times just because of the stupid things that pop into his head but after the stunt that Shadow Sorcerer just pulled, Jaden was starting to fully remember why they locked that psycho up and threw away the key in the first place.
It happened late the other night during the day of Jaden and Haou's tag duel against the Paradox Brothers down by under the cliffs of the Slifer dorm. After Jaden's break down about the written paper that he and Haou had to do, the kind ruler of the Gentle Darkness, along with half of his Elemental HEROES, Yubel, and to nobody's surprise, Evil HERO Magician had all gathered and surrounded S.S. so that his back was almost pushed against the rocky cliff side, if he wasn't a spirit that is.
"You know;" Shadow began with a smug look on his face even when pretty much everyone that was surrounding him looked ready to murder him. "I find it funny how all of you are going to all of this trouble just because I saw the light of day again. And still, I don't see why you all hate me so much."
"You're a freaking child murder, Shadow!" Poison Rose snapped at him and if it wasn't for Burstinatrix and Lady Heat holding her back, the Lady of Roses, without question, would have rushed at Shadow Sorcerer and tore him to pieces. "You destroyed level 3 and under duel spirits just to take their energy and since they weren't good enough for you to feed your sick desire for power, you decided that you wanted a taste of human energy!"
"Children human energy;" Shadow corrected her with a smirk that would even top the devil's at the moment and just from that, E-HERO Woodman had to help the two warriors of fire keep Poison Rose under control. "Through I don't see how any of this is hardly fair. I mean, my own sister, who by the way has a collection of skulls of once living beings get to be free when I'm dealt with the evil hand of life."
"Gatekeeper sucker;" Magician told him returning her brother smirk. "I get to go off for free if I just make sure that you, along with a few other monsters that will remain nameless, stay in the pit. And can I just say, Best. Job. Ever."
"And yet, I'm standing right here. Yeah you're terrible at your job." Magician narrowed her eyes at that while Shadow's smug look returned to his face.
"Alright, enough games, Shadow. If you think you can get off for free for all that you did just because you helped us win one duel then you are dead wrong." Yubel claimed.
"Yeah I had a feeling that you would say that, Yubel. How about I change your mind over a date?" The fiendcaster suggested. "A nice heart to heart talk over some dinner which I may add will be Knospe's heart." Shadow smirked at that thought while Yubel looked almost sick to it.
As for Poison Rose, it took about seven more HEROES just to hold her back after what S.S. just suggested. "You come anywhere near my daughter, Shadow, and I swear to the Egyptian Gods themselves that I make sure that's not even a tiny pieces left of your body when I'm finished with you!"
"Oh I'm shaking in my boots from pure terror." Shadow replied sarcastically with a dark chuckle.
Jaden, who been standing quietly this whole time, finally decided that he had enough of this. "Do you think this is all just some giant joke to you, Shadow?! I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed and sure, most of the time I make big things sound like laughable jokes too but playing with someone live isn't funny!"
"Uh yeah it is; especially when you're playing the game of torture." Shadow Sorcerer smirked.
Then what happened next was what made Jaden really mad but not at Shadow Sorcerer but mostly at himself. He could still hear his HEROES yelling at him to move, for what reason he didn't know at the time, but he knew why as soon as it happened.
Shadow Sorcerer had taken out one of his daggers and threw it at him.
And it would have hit too if Yubel hadn't moved in time to block the attack. The dagger ended up stabbing her in the shoulder.
But yet, Jaden was the one to bit his tongue so he wouldn't scream in pain when he felt something digging into his own shoulder.
"I'll kill him for this."
Jaden looked up from where he was rebandaging his shoulder to where Yubel was standing with her arms crossed over her chest but Jaden couldn't help but glance over at his partner's own right shoulder to see that it was healing well enough from where she was stabbed by Shadow's dagger.
"If you do that than you're no better than he is." Jaden told her with a slight smile. "Besides Yubel, I'm fine. Okay maybe fine isn't the word I would use since I did after all get stabbed in the shoulder from our soul link but I'll heal. What about you?"
"Angry but fine;" Yubel answered before she sighed. "You should know that I been though worse."
Jaden smiled fully at that. "Haven't we all?" He joked as he stood up from where he was sitting underneath a tree in the middle of the forest. "Well I'm just lucky that my jacket is red or I would've had a lot of explaining to do about the blood stains in class." He laughed.
"You know you wouldn't have that problem if you actually learned how to do laundry." Yubel pointed out and Jaden just laughed again in response.
Although the laughing fit soon came to a close once someone ran right into Jaden, knocking him and the person onto the ground.
"Well that had to hurt." Yubel mumbled before she disappeared.
"Ow crap why didn't I see that coming?! Sorry…..Jaden?"
Jaden rubbed his head before he blinked when the person that ran into him knew his name but by then, he already knew who it was just from the British accent. "Oh hey Kia, nice running into you;" He joked with his sheepishly grin but that was thrown out the window when he got a good look at her and his eyes widen. "What….why are you covered in blood…?"
Kia sighed at that. "Long story but don't worry it's all fake."
Jaden let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Oh good," He breathed before he shot a fake glare at her. "Don't scare a guy like that."
"Trust me, Jay; if I wanted to scare you, then you would be sleeping with one eye open every night for the rest of your life." Kia informed him with a laugh before she blinked when she remembered why she was running in the first place. "By the way, have you seen a girl with ginger hair, blue eyes, and has a British accent as well?"
"Uh no….why?"
"Well you can blame the blood bath on her." Kia answered as she stood up and held out a hand to help Jaden up as well. Jaden smiled at that before he took her hand and stood up with her help. "But anyway, what are you doing out in the middle of the woods for, Jay? I would have thought you went back to your dorm like everyone else when class was over."
"Well I….just wanted to get some fresh air!" Jaden lied since he couldn't tell her about the whole S.S. problem. That would only end in trouble for him if Kia started to ask questions which one of them might be about his past and his powers and god forbid that day would come when he had to reveal his secret. And although he hated lying, especially to Kia, he had no choice but to do so just like when he lied to Syrus and Chumley on why he wasn't heading back to their dorm with them just so he could replace his bandages without them knowing and asking what happened.
Kia just raised in eyebrow in response. "In the middle of the woods at like five P.M.?"
"Uh….yeah! Where else and why not?" Wow, Jaden just realized how bad he was at lying even after how many time he had done it over the years from when he had to lie about Haou's little freak outs or when someone saw something that they shouldn't have and Jaden had to make a quick cover up story. But the thing was, at the moment, he was lying to Kia. Sure he lied to her once when Haou tried to summon Evil HERO Ruler and ended with him collapsing from a bump to the head from Yubel's back hand attack but that was when they first met. Now it was extremely difficult to lie to Kia since they both knew each so well.
But like in most situations; fate decided to give Jaden Yuki a free pass since at that moment, someone squeaked causing Kia and Jaden to look over from surprise to find out they weren't the only ones here.
"Oh my god, aren't you two just the cutest things ever!" Amber exclaimed running out towards them from behind a tree. "You know, Hope, if you wanted to stop our game of cat and mouse just to hang out with your boyfriend then you should have just said so! Actually, you should have told me you hooked up with someone in the first place but that's beside the point! I'm so proud of you!"
"Boyfriend?!" Jaden and Kia both questioned at the same time, glancing at each other before they both looked away with them both sporting a perfect shade of dark red blush across their faces that not even Jaden's injured shoulder and the fake blood that was covering Kia could top.
"I take it….this is who….you were talking about?" Jaden stuttered his words since the boyfriend comment took him for a loop. Really though, he never thought of him and Kia as a couple but now that he thought back to it, they have done many things that couples would do minus the kissing, holding hands, and other things that will remind nameless. At that thought, Jaden's face just got a whole lot redder at the realization.
As for Kia, she wasn't taking this any much better than Jaden was as she nodded to answer his question. Kia will admit that Jaden had become her best friend since arriving at the island but taking that a step further was something that has never been on Kia's mind before. Sure she thought Jaden was good looking who also was really kind and sweet too; any girl would be lucky to have him as a boyfriend, but Kia didn't think she was the girl for him and really, she was happy just being close friends with the guy and starting a relationship could maybe end up destroying that if things turned out bad for them.
"Amber, out of all the crazy things that you have said and done this has to take number one." Kia told her rubbing her forehead temples, still bright red in the face. "Jaden here isn't my boyfriend. Tell her Jay…."
"Yeah…" Jaden mumbled not knowing what else to say to this. He didn't want to act like Haou did when Jaden joked about him having a crush on Masika but what else was he supposed to say?! Where's Yubel when he needed her?!
"Sorry Jaden but you're on your own for this one." Yubel told him as she went to find a seat to watch the show unfold with Jaden yelling that she was a traitor in the back of his mind.
"Oh yeah? Then why are you're faces so red?" Amber teased with a smug look on her face that only made their blushing problem worse. Then to make matters worse, Amber pulled out her phone and took a picture of them together. "Perfect! Now let's see? How about #OTP?"
"AMBER!" Okay that did it for Kia as she went to grab the phone to delete the picture before Amber could post it to whatever site she had in mind. "Delete it now!"
"Never! I'm having way too much fun with this!" Amber laughed as she started running around with Kia chasing after her.
Meanwhile, Jaden just stood there, not to sure what he should do. On one hand, he could easily take Amber's phone away and delete the photo or he could just continue to stand there like an idiot and do nothing. But he really didn't have to choice since Kia just suddenly stopped chasing Amber, which confused the ginger girl.
"Okay Amber, since you want to do this the hard way, how about I make you a deal?" Kia asked.
"A deal? What kind of deal?" The other British girl questioned.
"A duel;" Kia answered as she took out her deck from its holder and held it up to show her. "If you win, then you can keep the photo and take as many of them as you want of us. But if I win, then you stop it with this whole "me and Jaden as a couple thing", deleted that photo and fix my…well our room now...to the way I had it before you decided to destroy it!"
Amber placed her hand on her chin as to put on a thinking pose and it wasn't long before a wide grin formed on her face. "Oh you're going down." She accepted.
"Well things just got interesting." Yubel commented and Jaden could only nod in agreement but a smile did form on his face since he was excited to see Kia duel again and to see what kind of deck Amber would use against her Dustons.
…..
"You know, any smart person would have learned their lesson the first time around but no, you still decided to come right back here anyway." Shadow Sorcerer chuckled from amusement from what Haou wanted to show him.
Haou ignored his comment as he stared at the Abandoned Dorm with his arms crossed over his crest. "I didn't set you free just for your amusement, Shadow. We had a deal, remember?"
"Uh course my lord and master; I get to be free from that hell hole that my lovely sister threw me in if I investigate this old dorm and find out all the secrets that it holds about its connections to the Shadow Realm and you're past self." Shadow replied before that insane smile of his formed on his face. "While getting to have some fun in between if I may add."
"Speaking of which…." Haou's cold golden eyes fixed their gaze on S.S. "If you even think about hurting my little brother again, I swear, Shadow, I will make you wish you were dead."
"I'll keep that in mind." Shadow noted, mentally rolling his eyes in his head. Along with murdering my dear sweet sister for throwing me under the bus. He thought bitterly before he looked away and his smirk returned. "And speaking of the devil, or the devil's brother I should say, Jaden's close by and where Jaden goes, my beautiful future bride to be will go as well."
"I'm just saying this since I need you alive for the time being; don't even think about it. Yubel will tear you to pieces." Haou stated as he started to walk off.
"Oh I'm hoping she will." Shadow grinned lustfully as he disappeared.
…..
"Duel!"
After getting their duel disks and meeting back up in the same spot of the woods as before, Kia and Amber stood on opposite sides of each other, duel disk raised. They both had already drawn their opening hand as they were ready to start their match. Jaden stood off to the side, glancing back and fore between the two girls, getting the terrible feeling of déjà vu from all of this.
(Kia: 4000 Amber: 4000)
"I'll go first, draw!" Amber drew her sixth card and at once, she summoned it to the field. "I summon Lancer Lindwurm to my field in attack mode!" At that, a green dragon in yellow battle armor carrying a two sided lance for a weapon appeared on the field with a mightily battle cry roar (Atk: 1800 Def: 1200).
"Still using your dragon deck I see? You really haven't changed much have you, Amber?" Kia asked making Jaden look over at her.
"Okay I been wondering this for some time now but how do you two even know each other?" The Slifer questioned.
"Amber and I went to the same dueling prep school together. You remember when I told you I threw a bucket of fake blood on someone during Halloween, Jay? Yay, that was Amber;" Kia answered with a grin. "Totally worth getting kicked out for a bit."
"Well I got payback." Amber added in referring to the blood bath that Kia was still cover in even if most of it had dried up by now. "Anyway, I end my turn with that."
"Thank you, now I draw!" Kia drew her card from her deck and looked at it along with the rest of her hand. Crap, I don't have anything in my hand that can take out her Lancer. I guess I have to play defensively for a bit. She thought as she took a card from her hand. "I summon Stygian Security in defense mode!" Kia's little blue fiend police monster appeared in defense positon (Atk: 100 Def: 600). "Then…I guess I'll end my turn."
"Not like you can do much against my awesomeness." Amber commented drawing her next card. "Now I'll have my Lancer Lindwurm take out your Stygian Security! And thanks to his effect, he can deal pierce battle damage to you!"
"Crap," Kia groaned as she watched as her monster was destroyed before she took the damage from the difference between their Atk and Def points.
(Kia: 2800 Amber: 4000)
Kia wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Nice effect but now let me show you mine. You see, Amber, when Stygian Security is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, I'm allowed to summon a level one fiend type monster right from my deck onto the field! So I'm gonna summon a favorite card of mine known as House Duston in defense mode!" (Atk: 0 Def: 1000)
Jaden watched as the home of Kia's Duston crew appeared on the field. "Wow talk about taking one for the team. Giving up some of her life points just to summon one of her ace cards was an amazing play!"
A smile formed on Kia's face from the comment. "Thanks for the feedback, Jay."
"No problem, Kia; what kind of Dark Side person would I be if I didn't compliment my partner in crime." Kia looked over at him and they both shared a grin with each other before Kia turned her attention back to Amber.
"You just love flirting with your boyfriend even in the middle of a duel, huh Hope?" Amber teased making Kia red out in the face again. "Oh well, who am I to stop you? I end my turn there then."
"He's not my boyfriend, Amber." Kia mumbled as she drew and a wide grin formed on her face from what she got. "Hey Jaden, I just drew one of the cards we got during when we had that booster pack day!" Kia then quickly shot Amber the 'don't you dare say anything to that' look as she played her next card. "Now I summon my Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode!" The newest monster to Kia's deck turned out to be a unicorn with a blue horn, a white body, and its fur turned out to be blue flames that kinda made it look like a shiny ponyta from Pokemon (Atk: 1800 Def: 1000).
"Oh a pony, I'm so scared." Amber said sarcastically.
"You should be, Amber, since I'm now activated Sunlight Unicorn's ability." Kia placed her fingers on her deck, getting ready to draw another card. "Once per turn, I can draw a card from my deck and if it's a equip spell, I can add it to my hand but if it isn't, the card goes to the bottom of my deck instead." She explained as she drew. Come on; give me something I can use! Kia thought as she looked at the card she drew and her grinned reformed on her face. "Awesome! It's a equip spell so it's added straight to my hand but why should I wait to use it? I'm playing Megamorph and equipping it to my pony! Now since my life points are lower than yours, Sunlight Unicorn's attack points are double!"
"Say what now?!" Amber gasped as she watched Kia's monster double in power (Atk: 1800-3600 Def: 1000). "Uh can I call a time out?"
"Nope," Kia grinned as Sunlight Unicorn destroyed Lancer Lindwurm, taking out half of Amber's life points along with it.
(Kia: 2800 Amber: 2200)
"Well that could have gone better." Amber muttered.
"Actually that went great for me but the bad news now is that the side effects of Megamorph now take effect. Since my life points are higher than yours now, Sunlight Unicorn loses that bonus….or was going to if I didn't have Mystical Space Typhoon in my hand at the moment." Kia pulled a troll face as she destroyed Megamorph before it could weaken her pony (Atk: 3600-900-1800 Def: 1000). "Well I think I let you live for another turn, I guess."
"Oh you're too kind." Amber said as she glanced at the card she just drew. "Well at least with this draw, I know I can survive this turn. I summon Exploder Dragon in attack mode!" A blue dragon with a yellow belly with red eyes and was carrying an orange bomb appeared on Amber's field this time (Atk: 1000 Def: 0). "Now Exploder Dragon, blow up her Sunlight Unicorn!"
"But that's senseless. Sunlight Unicorn has 800 more attack points then Exploder Dragon does." Jaden said as he watched as Exploder Dragon dropped its bomb on Sunlight Unicorn but to the Slifer's surprise, Sunlight Unicorn was also destroyed during the battle.
"Exploder Dragon's effect; when he's destroyed in battle, he also takes down the monster that destroyed it as well and the best part is that neither one of us takes any battle damage." Amber explained.
"Nice move but kinda pointless don't you think?" Kia questioned, raising an eyebrow. "I mean, now you're defenseless and I still have my House Duston on my field to protect my life points."
"Not for long." Amber grinned. "I play a face down and then activate Stop Defense, forcing your monster of a house into attack mode."
Okay now Kia was really confused to what Amber was playing at. "That would have been better to play before you destroyed your own monster."
"You didn't let me finish. I activated Surprise Attack from Beyond and end my turn."
"Good now I….." That was as far as Kia got before her jaw dropped as she watched Exploder Dragon reappear from a dark void and destroyed House Duston before it disappeared back into the void. "What…the….bloody hell just happened?!"
"Surprise Attack from Beyond, sucker!" Amber laughed enjoying Kia's surprised reaction. "During my end phase, a monster that was summoned during my turn that was destroyed gets to attack again even if it's in the graveyard. Now who's the one without any defense?"
"Actually no one since I activated House Duston's effect which lets me summon my little friends to anywhere on the field." Kia explained as she held up four of her Duston cards. "Come on out, guys!"
"Well you heard the lady, boys, let's move out!" Red exclaimed from his card before he and Green appeared on Amber's field in attack mode while Yellow and Blue appeared on Kia's field in defense mode (Atk: 0 Def: 1000 X4).
"Huh two monsters for the price of one but both with zero Atk points? Well I guess I should look on the bright side, at least I have something to work with now." Amber shrugged.
"Hey every monster has their strengths and weakness. You just have to figure out how to bring the best out of them." Jaden pointed out with a smile, making Amber turn to look at him.
"You know, Hope, you really know how to pick a guy. Your boyfriend is kinda adorable now that I think about it." Jaden's face red out at that while Kia got this twitch in her eye from the comment.
"For the last time, Amber, Jaden is just a friend that is a boy!" Kia snapped.
"I still don't believe you. I mean, your blushing like mad." Amber smirked.
"Well you're going to be the one blushing from embarrassment after this turn when you lose." Kia retorted as she finally drew for her draw phase. "Well this will do just nicely, I play Card of Sanctity! So now we each draw until we both have six cards in our hand." Both girls drew their cards; Kia getting a few more while Amber pretty much got her hand back.
Kia looked down at the cards she just drew and a wide grin formed on her face. "Game over," She murmured. "Already, I play my Goblin King in Atk mode!" One of Kia's ace monster appeared on the field with a roar. "And thanks to his trusty effect, he gains Atk and Def points for every fiend type monster on the field that isn't himself. And you know what that means? That's right, he has 4000 Atk points!" (Atk: 0-4000 Def: 0-4000)
"Big whoop, my grandma can bring out a monster with more Atk points." Amber spoke a little too cocky.
"But wait youngster, I'm not finished yet!" Kia smirked as she held up a card. "I play the equip spell, Opti-Camouflage Armor!"
"Uh oh…." Amber wept, sweat dropping.
"Uh oh is right since I'm equipping this to my Goblin King. With this, a level one monster can attack you directly! And in simple terms, that means a whole lot of hurting coming your way." Kia grinned.
"And with Amber only having 2200 life points left, it this attack hits then Kia will win the duel." Jaden thought out loud as a grin of his own formed on his face.
"Now Goblin King, attack Amber directly!" Kia ordered her monster right before her green king threw a powerfully punch straight at Amber.
"Not so fast! I still have my face down which is a trap, Half Shield! Now all the battle damage and/or effect damage I take from this attack is cut in half!" Amber braced herself as she took the hit from Goblin King's attack but thanks to her trap, she was still in this just barely.
(Kia: 2800 Amber: 200)
"Man, I took a hit there." Amber groaned before she looked at Kia and grinned. "Well is that all you got?!"
Kia looked a tiny bit annoyed that her attack failed to take out the rest of Amber's life points but she just sighed instead as she took a card from her hand and placed it faced down. "I'll just end with a face down."
"Then it's back to me and I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards." Amber added two more cards to her hand, making her have a total of eight cards now.
"Yeah, yeah, I know the effect." Kia replied in a matter of fact way.
"Well did you know about this card's effect? I play Double Spell! Now by discarding a spell card from my hand, I can use a spell card from your graveyard. Like for example, you're Mystical Space Typhoon and I'm using it on your face down!"
Kia actually blinked at her move. "But why would you do that? It would make more sense to destroy my equip spell."
"True but I know you, Hope, so I know very well what that face down is." Amber grinned when she noticed what was destroyed. "Mirror force,"
Kia bit her lip at seeing her trap card getting destroyed. "Well….I wasn't expecting you to play that but its fine. I still have my Goblin King who's packing 4000 Atk points along with my Duston gang for back up."
"Yeah about that; I'm going to have to say good bye to your little friends." Amber started as she held up card that Kia didn't expect to see Amber use. "I play the Ritual Spell, Hymn of Light! With this, by tributing monsters whose levels equal level 6 or higher, I can Ritual Summon Saffira, Queen of Dragons!"
"Say what now?!" Kia gasped. Oh now this is bad, the Dustons effects only prevent people from tributing and Fusion Summoning with them! And since they're not being destroyed, Amber won't be dealt with any of their effects!
"So what does that mean for us?" Green questioned.
"It means we're screwed!" Red replied before the two Duston monster screamed as they were sucked into a vortex along with an Alexandrite Dragon from Amber's hand.
"Now feast your eyes on the one, the only, Saffira, Queen of Dragons!" Amber exclaimed as her ritual monster appeared from the vortex. Saffira turned out to be a female white scaled human dragon hybrid with beautiful white and blue wings dressed in golden armor and mask (Atk: 2500 Def: 2400).
And since two fiend type monsters left the field, Goblin King lost some points (Atk: 4000-2000 Def: 4000-2000).
Okay not good but it's okay; even if Amber attacks and destroys my Goblin King, I'll still be good on life points and during my next turn I can finish Amber off. Kia thought but she was soon starting to rethink her plan when she noticed that wide grin on Amber's face.
"I play Lighting Vortex! By discarding a card from my hand, I can destroy all face up monsters on your field!" Amber discarded another dragon type card from her hand and right before Kia's eyes, Yellow and Blue Dustons along with Goblin King were struck down by lightning bolts, destroying all three of them, and leaving Kia's field completely empty.
"….and I thought I could draw well." Jaden breathed completely astonished to how fast Amber was able to wrap out Kia's field like that in just one turn. Now the Gentle Darkness king was actually hoping he could duel Amber right after this. But that wasn't the only thing that was on his mind. Jaden was also really worried about Kia just from the panicked look that was on her face she was trying her best to hide as Yellow and Blue Duston's effects activated; making Kia add one monster from her graveyard back to her deck while banishing one card from her hand as well.
"Okay this is bad…." Kia mumbled under her breath. "But it's fine…" She tried to convince herself. "If Amber does attack with Saffira then I will still have 300 life points left. I just have to last this one turn to make a comeback…"
"And now it's time for the grand finale! I play Dragon's Mirror!" Amber revealed holding up the spell card for everyone to see. "By removing from play five dragon monsters, I can summon my ultimate beast! So with four dragons in my graveyard and my queen chilling out on the field, I fuse them all together to fusion summon out, Five-Headed Dragon!"
And at that very name being said, Kia flinched back as one of the most powerful monsters in Duel Monsters history rose to the field. Just like it's named implied, the dragon had five different element based heads, all connected to a giant winged yellow body (Atk: 5000 Def: 5000).
"I am so dead….." Kia mumbled as each head of the great dragon fired a blast of their own element at Kia, the force of the attack throwing her back into a tree.
(Kia: 0 Amber: 200)
"Yay! I won! How you like them apples, Hope?!...Uh Hope?" Amber blinked as she watched the smoke clear away from her attack to see something that even she didn't expect to see even after all her teasing. Amber knew she saw Kia getting throw back into the trees but what she failed to see was Jaden moving fast enough and him catching Kia in his arms before she could hit the trees.
Even Kia was taken about as she looked up at her friend who was smiling down at her. "You okay?" Jaden asked concerned, tightening his hold on her without even thinking about it.
Kia swore her face had to look like a tomato from how red she was turning. "Yeah….I'm fine."
"Well isn't this just a sight for sore eyes. I swear, I think I might just throw up from this."
"Oh no…" Jaden and Kia mumbled at the same time as they both looked up to see Haou standing there, looking at them with an eyebrow raised.
"Do I even want to know?" Haou continued before he covered his ears when Amber started shrieking. "And great, I'm now deaf." He grumbled turning his gaze to Amber who looked ready to start fangirling.
"Oh my god! Jaden, why didn't you tell me you had a twin?! Hope, do you know what this means?!" Before Kia could answer, Amber continued. "We can each have one! We can go double dating! We might even be sisters-in-law one day!"
"Excuse me?!" Haou retorted before growling in his head when he heard Magician bursting into a laughing fit.
"Okay I might be against the sisters-in-law and everything else you just said Amber but please continue; I love seeing Haou getting pissed like this." Kia grinned making Haou turn his glare onto her.
"Oh I'm going to enjoy the day when I get to tear you into pieces." Haou growled at her before he glared at his brother. "Now Jaden, if you're done flirting, let's go!"
"Uh why?" Jaden questioned but he just went along with it when Haou just sent him the death glare. "Okay, okay, you don't have to send me anymore glares." He stood up before he helped Kia up as well. "I'm sorry that you didn't win your duel, Kia, but I still think you did awesome." Kia blinked at that as Jaden looked over at Amber. "And when you're free, you and I are having a duel too!" He called over to her before he followed after Haou when he started to walk off. "See you girls later!"
Amber smiled at that, watching the twins leave before she turned to face Kia who just stood there, looking to be in a slight daze. "I really do like your boyfriend, Hope."
"For the last time, Jaden isn't my boyfriend." Kia mumbled under her breath. "But I guess it doesn't matter. I lost and an agreement is an agreement. You can post that picture of us."
"Yeah about that; I decided that I'm not going to post that picture of you guys." Amber admitted making Kia turn to look at her from surprise.
"Really?!"
"Only if you admit that you like Jaden."
Kia frowned at that. "I told you like a million time now; I don't like…"
Amber waved her hand in a dismissal way. "Yeah sure you don't. Well I guess I'm going to go post this picture all over the internet."
Kia bit her lip at that, cursing in her head before she said in barely a whisper. "Okay…maybe I like him a little…."
Amber smirked at that. "What was that now?"
"Don't push it, Amber."
"Okay fair enough."
…..
"I don't want you to hang out with Kia anymore, Jaden."
Jaden felt like he just got slapped across the face when he heard Haou say those eleven words to him. He stopped suddenly at that while his twin continued to walk. "What?! Why?!"
"You're getting careless with your powers when you're around her." Haou answered from over his shoulder. "I saw you move right before I showed up. No normal human could move that fast from where you were standing, Jaden. Sure she might not have noticed or her idiot of a friend but someday she will."
A look of almost what seemed to be outrage passed onto Jaden's face. "What kind of excuse is that?!" He snapped making Haou stop in his tracks. "With logic like that, then I have every right to say you shouldn't be able to hang out with Masika!"
"There's a big difference between those two statements, Jaden."
"Like what?!"
"I think of Masika as a friend and you think of Kia as something more."
Jaden was taken about by that as Haou rolled his eyes. "God, I always have to spell things out for you, Judai." He mumbled as he started walking off again, leaving Jaden standing there to process what Haou just said.
Think of Kia as more than a friend? Jaden wondered to himself, his blush coming back without him realizing it.
