HIIII! :p
Okay, first of all I am SOOORRY!
I know that I took a VERY long time to update, (and only updated Love Written In The Stars a few months/a month/whatever ago, which sucked because of the nasty quality it had, and I know that that's why I didn't risk making another sucky chapter for my other fics.) HOWEVER, to compensate for that I tried to make this a really awesome chapter! :p
So, I hope that you'll have fun with this one!
But, before I go through the fic, of course, I'd like to thank:

For reviewing! To be honest, if it wasn't for your support until now, I may haven't finished Autumn Tryst. I mean, seriously, I am human, and inspiration nor passion isn't strong enough to keep me writing here in FFN, I also get discouraged at times too.
So yeah, you readers, subscribers, and especially reviewers, are those that keeps me motivated to write here in FFN. :p
Anyways, enough about that, now let's get on with the story!
(Take Note: last chapter was just a sort of filler like chapter, and this one will be continuing off from chapter 16. That's all! Just to avoid confusion :p)
The Heart Of The Crimson Dragon: Autumn Tryst
I never thought I'd... fall for you as hard as I did
(as hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinkin about our life, our house and kids
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
Girl you came around
And you knocked me down
(knocked me down)
For advice OMG you listen to that b!tch?
Woe is me baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic

This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now
I'ma ask him
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
Knock You Down
By: Keri Hilson Ft. KanYe West & Ne-Yo
-Chapter 18-
The reporters and journalists quickly swarmed towards them with the microphone on hand, and the cameras already flickering non-stop, as Yusei and the rest found themselves very overwhelmed with the sudden rush. It was just too sudden and too unexpected. Heck, it was as if they appeared out of nowhere the moment the opening speech ended.
'Oh no, this is what I am afraid of!' Hikari screamed horrifyingly on her mind.
"Hey, Yusei I think you and Hikari should leave. It would be best if she wasn't interrogated by the media right now, especially with the 'you-know-what'." Cylde quickly whispered to Yusei's ears.
"But, what about you guys?" Yusei asked, whilst Clyde just shook his head.
"We'll be okay. Heck, Aki and I are used to stuff like this. So, get going once I get the media all on me. Okay?"
"Hey, Yeah I am Clyde Yagami. Is there something wrong?" He asked with his usual gentle smile plastered on his face, as he starts walking away from the gang a bit with the media now swarming towards him, as all the mics now pushed almost near his neck with the camera flashes now almost blinding his eyes. With the cue, Yusei definitely didn't let Clyde's efforts to waste as he quickly dragged Hikari away towards the scene. Hikari didn't fight back as she just ran away together with him, with her hand tightly, yet carefully clasped by his warm hands. They just walked briskly in a slick manner.
However, as they both ran, Hikari can't help but allow her thoughts to wander towards the selfless brunette that sacrificed himself for her once again. But, that wasn't usually a bother. Bother in the sense that she knows deep inside no matter how she tries to deny, or rather try thinking that it's just a dream, the fact that her best friend's actually in love with her. Just now with the way, he held her hand, as he escorted her to Yusei, and painfully stared at her when he told Yusei and her to runaway; it finally hit her that it was definitely not a dream, rather a painful reality.
But, what is this pain you wonder?
One simple word: GUILT.
"huff-Yusei!-huff-Yusei!-huff" Hikari tried to call out between her breaths, as she tried to catch up with his pace. Yusei somehow got a hit of realization, thus stopping him from his tracks, as he stared worriedly towards the blond.
"Oh, I am sorry, was I too fast? Were you hurt or anything?" He quickly inquired, seeing that he just dragged her and completely forgot that the girl with him was actually wearing killer high-heels. The blond shook her, with her face plastered with a vexed expression.
"No, I'm fine." She tried to lie; Though, she could have just hid that expression in the first place.
"Then what's wrong?" Hikari paused for a while, as she took away her gaze from his azure eyes, and then sighed.
"Nothing's wrong."
"You know that you can't just shove me off with just that. It's all over your face." Yusei stated in as-a-matter-of-fact tone, as his azure eyes continued to stare unwaveringly at the blond, whilst along with the stare is the relayed message: "I can't definitely take that for an answer."
Truly, it may haven't been stated explicitly, but with the way they knew each other too well for a very long time now despite the year the blond was gone, Hikari just know what that look meant.
"It's not really a problem, just a sudden dilemma, which is kind of awkward to tell." She sighed, however, Yusei didn't mind as he just held her face gently.
"You know that no matter how awkward it is, you can always tell me." Hikari suddenly felt flustered, she just doesn't know how to say it.
'Damn, if I tell him, he might think that I am such an air-head or something, but oh well, as if he'll ever give up asking.'
"Well, ummm, how should I say this?" She stated, whilst her mind tried to dig for the right words. "Err,"She tried to start, as a blush suddenly crept on to her cheeks somehow making her stay away from the eyes of the man in front of her. "You know that I love you, right?"
'Damn, I know I have told him that tons of times already, but damn this is just embarrassing!' Hikari thought frantically, whilst Yusei on the other raised a brow on her.
"Yeah, I know that, and you know that I love you, too. So, where's the dilemma in that then?" Yusei asked feeling really skeptic and perplexed. I mean, if there's a clear understanding regarding that, how can a thing such as a dilemma exist?
'I wonder why she suddenly asked that. Is she starting to doubt my feelings for her? Did I do something to make her doubt? Or am I just being paranoid?' He thought feeling a bit worried.
"Of course not," She quickly replied, somehow making Yusei feel a bit relieved. I mean, if you were asked something like that, won't you feel that it'd be strange? When that is asked, the break up lines such as, "I love you, but I don't think I'm good enough for you after all," or "I love you, but I don't think that I deserve you" usually follow.
"Actually, the dilemma in there is the fact that I do love you, and I can't change anything about it even if my conscience says otherwise." She stated, as her hand suddenly made its way towards her chest, specifically where her heart is, whilst her sad eyes stared at Yusei's confused azure ones.
"Why? Do you regret falling in love with me, or something?" Yusei's face may be nonchalant, but his eyes were definitely reflecting many emotions right now, specifically: doubt, fear, and confusion.
"NO! DEFINITELY NOT!" She quickly opposed, as her arms suddenly wrapped around his waist, her head landing on his hard chest closing the proximity before them. "I definitely don't regret loving you. If only you know how happy I am to have you right now. Please, don't get me wrong. I do love you."
"Then, why did you say that you're having a dilemma about it?"
"It's just; I can't help but feel guilty, and so selfish, right now!" She bit her lip, as she finally let go of him, and stared directly at his eyes. Yusei just eyed her in a puzzled manner, hoping that she could care to explain further."
"I feel that way, because it's just unfair. Unfair for Clyde. No matter how I tried to ignore his feelings for me, I just can't! He's my best friend, and I know that with the way we are right now that I am hurting him. I-." She paused as her hands both turned to tight fists of frustration. "But, even if I know that I just can't. I don't ever want to let you go."
Yusei doesn't really know what to say right now, like should he say: "It's okay, he loves you he should understand," or "You're best friends, right? And best friends support each other to the things where the other is happy? He should be happy if you're happy right now." Yet, as more statements come up to his mind, still no words ever dare came.
I mean, what if Hikari happens to love Clyde right now? What could he have felt? Just seeing how Clyde just supported them all the way up until now with smiles, he can't help but salute the guy for being so strong—strong enough to let her go, and let her be happy.
If he was in Clyde's shoes, could he ever do the same, or would his desires get the ahead of him? That he definitely doesn't know for sure.
"See? It's awkward isn't it? I just don't know. It's just unfair for me to have him, when I can't even give back his feelings to him. I mean, I love him, yeah. But, I just love him as a friend. Not more or less." She sighed, as she just sat down on the cold floor, her feet carrying all of her weight, as her head leaned on to her knees. "I just can't have him always getting me out of trouble anymore."
Yusei then leveled himself to her, as his hand rested on her shoulder.
"I really don't know what to tell you, right now, because if he ever tries to steal you away from me, I definitely won't allow him. However, if you're more happier with him, then I guess, all I have to do is let you go. He is your best friend, I can't really say much for him, because we're different. But, one thing is for sure, and I know that we both can relate to each other. We both just want you to be happy."
"How about you, are you happy being with me like this?" She suddenly started to wonder, as she took a small peek on him, whilst Yusei gave her a small smile in return.
"Of course, I am. I actually feel blessed to have you with me, as my one and only girl."
"Even if we can't attend the opening ceremony like normal people?" She asked, somehow making Yusei chuckle a bit, as he cupped her cheeks with his face now just centimeters away from her face.
"Definitely."
It was finally nighttime, as the couple laid together in bed, with the blond now sleeping soundlessly beside the raven haired lad.
They may haven't been able to completely attend the opening ceremony, but for them, spending time alone on the basement parking was even more satisfying.
As Yusei just lay down on the bed,with his eyes traveling onto the peaceful blond's features, as his hands grazed on to her face down to her lips, which he traced lightly with his thumb.
...Those soft, sweet lips.
He quickly blushed as he quickly let go, stopping any kind of perverse thoughts that might make him do things that would make him regret in the latter.
But, as his thoughts remembered their past conversation on the parking lot, he can't help but feel blessed, making his lips form a small smile.
'What if, I was in Clyde's shoes; would I still be able to hold you close like this? Will you even look at me with those loving eyes of yours?' He thought, but before his mind continued to ponder on, a small tap sounded from the bed causing him to sit up from his bed.
'I wonder who's still up at this time.' With that he, just stood up and finally opened the door, only to see the devil himself.
"Clyde?"
"I hope I am not bothering you guys, or anything." He stated as he beamed him a meek smile.
"No, you're not. What is it?"
"How is she?" He asked. To be honest, Yusei can't help but feel a bit surprised. With a lot of things happening to them, this is the first time Clyde bothered them in the middle of the night. But, then again, he gave a benefit of the doubt, they are friends after all. However, he can't help but push aside the seeming dark aura surrounding the brunette in front of him, or rather an aura of slight antagonism.
"She's fine. She's asleep."
"I see I'm glad. I guess, it's finally tomorrow, huh?" Clyde casually asked. However, despite the friendly tone, Yusei can tell that there's something about to stir.
"Yeah, I know. Good luck to the both of us I guess."
"Yusei," Clyde called, as his hazel eyes stared directly at his azure ones, his tone now turning serious. "I-," He tried to state, as he bit his lower lip. "I-I know that the both love each other and all, but as her best friend and also her lover, I just can't give her to you after all."
"I know that it is rather inappropriate for me to say that, seeing that I am just a mere best friend, but I hope you understand. Please, duel me."
It was definitely sudden alright, and Yusei find it kind of startling to be engaged in a duel in the middle of the night, however, he definitely understands."
"I just wanted to know if I am really letting her go to the right hands. So, please," Clyde utter we great determination, as Yusei nodded.
"Alright, then. I'll show you that despite the fact that I am unworthy of her, I can definitely take care of her." With that, the two gentlemen quickly, yet quietly headed towards outside, with duel disks equipped on to their arms, and their arms placed on top of their decks.
"Just so you'd know, there's only one rule in this duel."
"And that is?"
"The loser has to give up on Hikari, permanently." Clyde stated in a dark tone emphasizing the last word. Yusei on the other hand just stared at him calmly with his usual stern face.
"Then I'll definitely not lose to you, Clyde."
"Likewise, after all, All's fair in love and war, so, you ready?"
"LET'S DUEL!"
[Yusei=4000 Clyde=4000]
"Now, you definitely don't have anything to hold back, and as a man, I expect you to keep your word. So, allow me to be first, Draw!" Clyde started as he drew his first hand. "I set a monster in faced down defense position, then I set two cards faced down then I end my turn."
'I'll definitely not back down; I'll never ever back down a challenge such as this!'
"Draw!"
'Never in my life have I seen Clyde's deck. Right now, I definitely have to be careful, or else I'll-'
"I set a monster faced down in defense position, then I set two cards faced down then I end my turn."
"Hmmm, playing careful are we? Then I guess you don't mind me being a little bit aggressive, I tribute my faced down monster to summon Ally of Justice Rudra [atk-1900 def-1200] in attack position!"
'An Ally of Justice Deck, despite the term 'Ally of Justice', it's actually a dark machine deck made perfectly to shut of a light deck. Possibly, with the right cards, decks like these can almost such down anything!' Yusei thought a bit worried, however still maintained his calm expression. 'However, this doesn't scare me at all.'
"Now, Rudra destroy Yusei's monster!" Clyde ordered with an empathic arm swaying to point on the face down monster, which happens to be Shield Wing [atk-0 def-900], who due to its special effect withstands the attack.
"Hmf, that monster might stop me for now, but it won't hold you on forever! I set two cards faced down. Then I end my turn. Duel King or not, I'll definitely beat you!" Clyde uttered with a smirk. "I'm not the ally of the Prodigy for nothing!"
'Ally?' Yusei thought, somehow feeling slightly confused. 'I wonder if that has any connection with his deck or something. But, come to think about it, I somehow saw somewhere in Hikari's deck an Ally of Justice Card. was it from him?'
"Draw!"
'I still have to wait. I can't act recklessly. Truly, that an Ally of Justice deck is solely made to be an anti-Light deck. But, even if, just one card can strengthen that trait and I know that he has that card there somewhere and he can activate that anytime now.'
"I set a monster in faced down defense position, and then I end my turn."
"I appreciate the defensive play, but I hate it when my opponent keeps running away from battle like this."
"Heh, don't be. Rather, you should be challenged." Yusei stated as he now smirked at the brown-haired lad. "Like I said to a certain someone, running away doesn't mean that you're a coward, because there are times that you have to run away. You don't always have to face things head on, especially when you're not ready, because running away means, to defend thyself while building up a counterattack."
"Then the more that I should get offensive! Now, Rudra attack the other faced down monster!" However, Clyde expected a counter, Yusei just stood there quietly in response as he just watched his monster, which happens to be Dandylion to be destroyed by Rudra's attack.
"I activate my monster's effect! Once Dandylion is sent to the graveyard, I can special summon two Plant Tokens [0/0] in the field in defense position!"
"I seriously don't know what you're up to, but I guess I'll have to sit around and 'run away' too I guess. Thus, I end my turn."
'Alright, here's my chance, the monster that could break this deck.'
"Draw! I activate my faced down card, Enemy Controller! This card has two effects it's either I use this to change any monster's position on the field, or I tribute one of my monsters to gain control of my opponent's monster. Right now, I choose it's second effect! I tribute one of my Plant Tokens to gain control of your Ally of Justice Rudra!"
"What the-", Clyde stated totally baffled, causing his brows to furrow together, whilst his teeth gritted in response. "I guess, this what you meant by running away then?"
"Exactly, now I summon Effect Veiler in attack position, and then I tune your Ally of Justice Rudra and Shield Wing to my Effect Veiler! Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path it's light shines upon! Synchro summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon [atk-2500 def-2000] in attack position! Now time for an attack, Stardust Dragon use Shooting Sonic!" With the order declared, Stardust Dragon quickly took it's flight on the starry night sky. However, before Stardust Dragon could ever release his attack, something happens...
"Heh, didn't you know that we actually have similarities other than the fact that we loved the same girl?" Clyde uttered with a triumphant tone.
"What do you mean?"
"I maybe using an Ally of Justice deck, but starting from now you'll see what I mean. Quick-play Spell Card Activate! Enemy Controller! I use this to change your Plant Token's position to attack position, and then I activate my Trap Card Waboku! This card other than making my monsters invincible for one return, it nullifies all battle damage made!" With the attack released by Stardust Dragon, a barrier quickly shielded the brunette, deflecting the white-blue beam.
"I don't know what you're planning to do by changing my Plant Token's position, but I change back my Plant Token's position to defense. Then I end my turn."
"Like I said, Duel King or not, I don't plan to lose easily to you! Draw! Trap Card Activate! Call of the Haunted, as it is famous for, this card can special summon any monster from the grave yard, except those with exception, thus I call for Ally of Justice Rudra! Then, to show you that similarity, I summon Junk Synchron in attack position! Then due to it's special effect, I special summon Ally of Justice Unlimiter from the graveyard in defense position!"
'Now I can see what he meant. I guess, we do have some similarities but still. That doesn't mean to me anything at all. Whatever he plans with these cards, I'll counter them with every way I can possible.'
"Now, behold, I tune my Ally of Justice Rudra, and Unlimiter to Junk Synchron! Light hidden in the depths of darkness, shine forth and be the light that annihilates the darkness! Ascend from the Darkness! Synchro Summon, Ally of Justice Decisive Armor [atk-3300 def-3300] in attack position!" With that a machine-like being with all types of armory and weaponry, emerged from the ground, definitely startling Yusei.
"Heh, you think that you're the only one that can pull something off? Well, say good bye to your precious Stardust Dragon, Decisive Armor, attack Stardust Dragon!" With that, the machine shot various rays of light towards the Dragon causing it to disperse, whilst some of the beams hit Yusei causing 800 life points of damage. [Yusei=4000-3200]
"And that doesn't end there, I set a card faced down, and then I end my turn. Not even Stardust could beat this thing!"
"It may be powerful than Stardust Dragon by Stats, but that doesn't stop me from defeating you! Draw!"
"Trap Activate! Heh, this shall be the start of your nightmare! DNA Transplant! This continuous trap card changes all of the monsters attribute to any attribute that I want, thus I pick Light!"
'There it is. The card that strengthen's the Ally of Justice Deck. I knew that he'd pull that off.'
"Still, I won't give up! I won't give up, Hikari to anybody! Even to you! I summon Junk Synchron in attack position! Due to it's effect I special summon Shield Wing back into the field in defense position! Then, I activate my Trap Card Call of the Haunted to review Dandylion from the grave! Then I tune my Dandylion, and Shield Wing to Junk Synchron! Clustering fighting souls will awaken the raging wicked god! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Obliterate, Junk Destroyer [atk-2600 def- 2500] in attack position!"
"You may have summoned another big monster on the field, but that doesn't even match up to Decisive Armor." Clyde stated flatly with a hmf on the end, as his arms folded in front of his chest.
"Heh, Truly, it may have no match if I go for a head-on collision with Decisive Armor. However, once it's summoned, I can select and destroy cards on the field up to the number of non-Tuner monsters used as Synchro Material thus I destroy Ally of Justice Decisive Armor and your faced down card!" With that, Junk Destroyer quickly fired a few punches on the two monsters making a destructive blast.
"Tch, I thought that you'd take down DNA Transplant. But, I guess you're taking this card for granted."
"Not really, because I have other plans in the latter. Now, since Dandylion's sent again to the Grave, two Plant Tokens are summoned into the field once more. Now, Junk Destroyer attack Clyde Directly!" With that the monster quickly launched towards Clyde, whilst it caused his life points to drop to 1400. "Then I set a card faced down. Then I end my turn."
"Nice. You really like making comebacks, huh? But, guess what I'll make you regret for making the wrong choice. Draw! I summon Ally of Justice Core Destroyer [atk-1200 def-300] in attack position! This dude may look small, but this thing does a lot of miracles. Now, Core Destroyer attack Junk Destroyer!"
'What? Isn't that suicide?' But, the moment Core Destroyer collided with Junk Destroyer, Junk Destroyer immediately got annihilated, with Clyde not suffering a single life point.
"Core Destroyer, any Light Monster that battles with this card is immediately destroyed before damage calculation. Now, I end my turn."
"How's that? Do you still have something to counter my Allies of Justice? Or will you finally give her up?" Clyde uttered, as his smirk quickly got replaced by a serious expression, his hazel eyes gazing directly to Yusei's azure ones.
"I-I really don't want to do this. All I want is for her to be happy. But," he paused as he closed his eyes for a bit. "I love her so much, to the point that I can't entrust her to anybody, even to you, and in this duel, I just wanted to see whether or not you're worthy of my dear best friend!"
"Clyde, I understand. That's why, right now, I'll show how much I love Hikari. That no matter what, I'll fight until the end to show you how much I love her. I'll never ever let the past happen again. I'll never lose her like before this time around! Draw!" Yusei shouted, as he draws out a card.
'Yes, I'll never lose her like that ever again. I won't leave her unprotected anymore, even if it would cost my life. Nor, will I hand you to anybody!'
"I summon Synchron Explorer in attack position! Due to it's effect I can special summon a monster from the graveyard with the word "Synchron" on it's name, thus I call for Junk Synchron! Then I tune my Synchron Explorer and the Two Plant Tokens to Junk Synchron! Clustering roars turn into an echoing arrow ,which tears through the sky! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Junk Archer [atk-2300 def-2000] in attack position! Then I activate it's special effect, once per turn I can send one of my opponent's monster from play, thus I remove Core Destroyer from the field. Now, Junk Arccher attack him directly!"
[Clyde=1400-0]
"I guess I'll leave her in good hands after all. That was a nice duel." Clyde stated, as a sad smile appeared on his slightly tanned features. "However, if you don't take care of her properly, be aware that I'll take her away from you anytime." He grinned at him playfully, causing Yusei to whip up a small smile himself.
"Then I'll never allow that to happen. I'll definitely take care of her until my heart stops beating."
"Yuuuuuseei," A female voice suddenly drawled, somehow startling the two boys, only to be surprised to find a sleepy blond girl clad on a thin white night gown. Then the girl scratched her eyes, hoping to have a clear view of the scene, and then finally noticed the brunette just in front of Yusei. "*Yawn* Clyde? What are you doing here? What are you guys doing in the middle of the night? *Achoo*"
"Shouldn't I ask you that? You shouldn't have left the room in that. You'll catch a cold." Yusei stated as he quickly snaked his arms around her, making sure that she's warm.
"Well, I wouldn't have left if I didn't notice that you were gone. I was kind of worried you know." Hikari uttered with slight irritation, as she puffed her cheeks playfully, somehow causing the brunette to smile at the scene.
'I'll definitely miss that part of you, Hikari. But, I guess, I can't have you after all. However, somehow with the duel just now, I felt rest assured that I am entrusting you to the right person.'
Okay, I hope that wasn't too cheesy XD
Well, once again I'll say that I didn't expected this to happen. But, I was like it would be nice if Clyde get a resolution before the story ends. I mean, Ares, Jack and Aki got it, Clyde should too. :p
Anyways, I hope that this was suffice to compensate for my long absence. ;p
To be honest, while I was doing, I never expected to battle Decisive Armor, and since I was using Yusei's deck with a shooting star dragon in it, I was tempted to summon it, but I was like, No! It will be a great offense to the YGO Canon rules! Lols, well with the way things are happening, I haven't really showed if Yusei finally got Shooting Star Dragon. (Heck, in the actual series, on this time period, Yusei doesn't even know if Shooting Star ever existed!) So, I controlled myself and just went on with the duel. Lols
Well, I hope you had fun! Of course, I am very open to criticisms! For I know that the chapter wasn't all that perfect.
(also, would you believe that the first one should have been overly dramatic if only I didn't stop and trashed the first draft? Lols)
Please do review! Because reviews help me feel even more motivated to write!
TC
(I'll probably update Searching next after this :p So, Searcher readers, do look forward to that!)
(another side note: I used the Yusei deck on the Ygo Tagforce 5 game btw...just so you'd know. There's actually the anime version deck there, but hehehe anime deck doesn't really get anywhere in real life as it heavily relies on luck. That's all.)
