Oh yeah, I was just reminded. Did you know that I made a Christmas special? And know what with the change of events, I'm kind of thinking of pulling it off?o.o but again it depends ;p

Anyways, here's my explanation:

Once again. I'm sorry. This is definitely final. =.=

I am seriously having hang ups regarding this story. It's just there's something that isn't right in what I'm doing.

I know that problem is obviously me since it's all about my attitude, and that's an undeniable fact.

But, I have to be honest this is definitely the first time that I'm experiencing this kinds of things when writing.

Nonetheless, I'll just try to work it out. So, I'll be continuing this fic again. If all else fails, I don't know what to do anymore.


The Heart of the Crimson Dragon: Autumn Tryst

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Misery

-Chapter 04-

Nighttime quickly loomed over Neo Domino, as the bars, the clubs along with their lights has finally lit up the city colorfully. People were still up and about, most specificlally the young adults and adults themselves, as they went off partying with their friends or just with themselves as they ended up mingling with new faces. If not, all do they do is just to dance the night away—intoxicated, or plain drinking the night away.

And one of them was just a simple girl with a cloak over her body, whilst her red specs mostly covered her face, and her head covered with a red cap instead of her usual helmet. She quickly chugged the bottle of her vodka ice. She just sat there at the bar with her palms supporting her dizzy, flushed face. Then she lazily leaned her head on just one of her palms, as her other hand crept towards another bottle; her eyes staring at it apathetically.

'Yusei,' She thought as she then drank the bottle halfway. 'I really don't know why, but why?' With that she finished her third bottle and then slumped herself on the table.

'After all this time, I can't believe that you're still hanging on things like that.' She sighed as now grabbed hold of another bottle, totally binge drinking. Right now, she couldn't care less of whatever, but just the drink it all away and send it to oblivion. 'You're definitely making me feel more miserable right now.'

'If only, I could just forget about you, maybe things would have been easier for me.' She thought as it caused her to sigh. 'Yeah, maybe it would have been easier afterall.'

She knows that she'll have a hangover in the morning, but could she just face a sleepless, restless night over a night of mere ecstasy with just a hangover for a penalty?

Of course, it just had to be the second option.

She now tried grasping the fifth bottle, but as the alcohol quickly flowed in to her veins, her body temperature rising whilst her sight spun around her completely, she just couldn't take hold of it firmly; her hands finding the strength to do so. Clyde who was just beside her all this time just stared at her with concern.

He really doesn't know to the point that he can't even come up with a reason as to why someone could make her feel this way. I mean he was there for her this whole time, wasn't he still not enough for her?

Whatever she had with that guy he definitely didn't have a clue.

Sure they may have been friends for a very long time, but this is just something that he wasn't able to witness himself. He didn't even know how the hell his friend ever met that guy.

Plus, what does he have that he doesn't to make her this miserable?

"Hey, you should probably stop now you know? You obviously can't drink anymore." He stated, worriedly as he held her hand, clasping its fingers between his, taking it slowly away from the bottle.

Though it seemed impossible and shocking, the girl suddenly gained strength and stability as she grabbed her hand away from him and hugged the bottle towards her chest.

"Mindhic yohicur busihicnesshic." But, what he did instead was to quickly drop off the payment and grab hold of the young girl with his arm as he tried to carry her off from bar. But, the girl struggled as she tried to punch as hard as she can on the brunette.

"Puthic me downhic!" She exclaimed angrily, as she continued to squirm away from his grasp.

"No, way am I going to let you get this drunk. Ares will be so worried about you." He said calmly. Though their acts may be eye and ear catching, they remained hidden in the depths of the people as they just danced to the beat of the loud music booming all over the place.

He was strong that's for sure, seeing that he's tall than the girl on arms, but his strength wasn't enough as the girl finally got away from his grasps whilst she ran away dizzily.

He tried to call her name as loud as he can as he chased after her, but before he knew it she was gone and completely out of sight.


It's finally midnight, as Yusei just remained seated in front of his desk as he tried to tinker with the same part that he's been trying to modify days ago. Due to the events, he was definitely not able to concentrate recently and wouldn't often find himself back to square one.

Now, with the new events starting to transpire right before him, the more his mind became clouded. Especially, with the event that just happened this morning.

He couldn't just simply forget it:

*"Hail that shoots forth from the azure skies, come forth, and be the light that pierces through a frozen heart! Synchro Summon! Appear, Brionac, Dragon of The Ice Barrier in attack position!" He chanted as a beautiful crystal like dragon appeared beyond their midst. The girl stared at the monster wide-eyed, as trickles of tears streamed down her partially covered face. Yusei quickly noticed the girl's reaction, definitely taken aback.

'Why is she crying? Is this what she's looking for?' He asked himself, as he just stared at Brionac. 'But, why Brionac? What's the connection?' He thought as he tried to find his own conclusions. But in a matter of time, his opponent quickly dropped to her knees, whilst holding her head; her face pain-stricken.

"Hey, What happened?" Yusei exclaimed, definitely feeling worried. Though she was a stranger, he was definitely not that heartless to not feel concerned. He quickly went towards her, but the moment the girl noticed him. She quickly stood up as he placed her hands on her deck, surrendering, causing to end the duel immediately, as she quickly rode on to her D-Board, and scurried off elsewhere, and making sure that she was fast enough for Yusei to follow her.

Yusei just stared at her, dumbstruck at the situation.*

'I really couldn't understand. Was she sick?' He thought, just feeling concerned. 'Whoever she is, I really don't believe that she just wants to duel. I just got the feeling that she wants something more that can either be good or bad.'

Though she was a different girl, he couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic as the situation transpired in the same way like his most not-so-favorite memory. With the way she reacted the moment she saw Brionac, it just reminded him of Hikari.

*"Draw! Now I activate my spell card Tuning to draw out Junk Synchron and summon it into the field in attack position! (atk-1300 def-500) Due to its special effec I can special summon Speed Warrior back into the field! Then I flip summon my faced down monster Tuningware to attack position (atk-100 def-500). Now, I tune my Junk Synchron to Speed Warrior and Tuningware! Hail that shoots forth from the azure skies," with the chant, Hikari stared at him wide-eyed, "Come forth, and be the light that pierces through a frozen heart! Synchro Summon! Appear, Brionac, Dragon of The Ice Barrier in attack position! (atk-2300 def-1300)" With that a beautiful sapphire dragon appeared in the midst of them, that has the body of crystal-like ice, as it shown brightly due to the light its body illuminating from its the surroundings.

"See Hikari? You're not alone. Even your monster wants you back to them. To the light." Somehow Hikari just chuckled sarcastically due to the ironic situation.

"So, you were waiting for this after all this time, huh? I know this card pretty well, and this card here can definitely do miracles. And right now, I can't believe that once again you'll be using my card against me." With that she finally smiled.

"Don't you dare stop at what you're doing." But, he just froze on the spot, as he swallowed the big lump that has quickly formed on his throat. He knows that when he attacks, it's not that simple, and with the battle he saw earlier between the Twins and Demark. He knows what happens afterwards. Though he was prepared, can he really do it?

Then he just stared at her, as he allowed his eyes to travel from top to bottom, engraving the image in his mind. Though he told Jack that he believes that he can revive the people lost, he can't help but feel a tinge of doubt himself. Once he executes the attack he knows that it can be the end of her completely. He'll never see her again; he'll never be able to hear her voice.

Finally, Hikari closed her eyes, still keeping the smile plastered on her face, whilst tears also flowed on her delicate white skin.*

'Hikari, I know that you're alive and you're somewhere out there. But, I really wanted to see you right now. I just miss you so much.' He thought, as he continued to reminisce, but later on, was disturbed as he heard something crashing just nearby their shack.

'What the hell was that?' he thought as he quickly stood from his seat. He looked for Crow and Jack, seeing if they're still awake, but sadly, still asleep.

'I guess, I should at least check it out it might be something.' He thought as he quickly went off outside.

He stared at his surrounding carefully, feeling totally alert and ready to pounce if ever somebody would just jump from behind his back. But, before he could go any further, he noticed something definitely bigger than a dog lying on the streets, its body covered in fabric.

'Is that a body?' He thought worriedly as he quickly ran towards it, and lo and behold, it wasn't just anybody, as his azure eyes went wide, whilst his jaw dropped in the process.

"Hey, what happened? Are you okay"


Okay, this might be second to the last chapter that I'll be editing because I'm going to post new ones ;p

So please do look forward for that!

Happy Holidays!

Once again I'm sorry!

I swear, I won't change anymore. Like I told my friend, if I ever change this I'll go rawr!
