Chapter 44: A Duel In Love
Two weeks have passed, since the first-year students arrived at Duel Academy and school has already started. In the school, the first-year students from the three dorms: Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow and Slifer Red are studying together in a class that Dr. Crowler is the teacher and at the moment, Alexis is standing, while explaining the characteristics of cards in duel monsters, "Duel Monster cards can be grouped into normal monsters, fusion monster cards, ritual monster cards, effect monster cards, trap cards and spell cards. Trap cards can be separated to normal spells, counter spells and continuous spells. Spell cards can separated to normal spells, continuous spells, ritual spell, equip spells, quick-play spell and field spells." Alexis explained
Dr. Crowler was amazed with the blonde's explanation, "That was perfect!" he complemented, "Well done, Alexis! Of course, I won't expect anything less from one of my Blue Obelisk students!"
"Yes, Dr. Crowler!" Alexis sat down
"Now, who should I choose next!" the Doctor said eyeing around the classroom then spotted Yusuke, "You Yusuke Urameshi!" Yusuke got up in attention, "Yes sir!" he said
"Please explain what an Effect Monster Card is?"
"Certainly," Yusuke said and clearing his throat, "An Effect Monster Card is a Monster Card that possesses magical effects." Yusuke explained, "There are all kinds of effects that a monster may have such as Flip, Continuous, Ignition, Trigger and Multi-Trigger. Effect Monster Cards are color-coded orange."
Dr. Crowler was dumbstruck at this, 'He even knows the kinds of effects too,' he thought and applauded, "Good job, Yusuke." He said and turned his glare to the Slifer students, "You slackers should follow Mr. Urameshi's example!"
Yusuke placed a wide grin on his face as he sat down, 'That's the first teacher that has ever praise for me.' He thought, 'That settles it Duel Academy kicks Sarayashiki Junior High's ass any day.'
"Now, who should I question next," Dr. Crowler scanned the around the Slifer area, "You Kagome Higurashi!"
Kagome, who was sitting above Yusuke, got up from her seat, "Yes sir," she said.
"Explain what a Continuous Spell Card is, please?"
"A Continuous Spell Card is a Spell Card that remains on the field once they are activated and their spell effect continues as long as they are face-up on the field. There is often a cost involved to maintain the effect of this kind of Spell Card." Kagome explained
"Good job, Kagome, please sit down," Dr. Crowler said, "You slackers should follow Ms. Higurashi's example as well! Now, who should we question next?" Dr. Crowler was gazed around the room……well actually he was gazing around the Slifer area, "You Syrus Truesdale!"
Syrus sprung out of his seat in attention, while intimidated
"Explain to the class what a field spell card is, please!" Dr. Crowler commanded
Syrus was a little nervous, but the word, 'little' in this case was an understatement, "A field spell is the thing……that affects the thing, which affect the thing……"
"Oh no……" Yusuke said, placing his two onto his forehead, knowing that Syrus knows the answer but too nervous to say anything at the moment.
"He's making us Slifers look bad," Ryoko muttered, glaring at the stammering Slifer, right of her.
"Even pre-duelists know the answer to this question, you Slifer Slacker!" said a random Obelisk duelist, which started laughter from most duelists, from the Obelisk area.
Kari glared at the Obelisk duelist, "You better watch your back after back class!" she snapped quietly so the duelist could hear, which scared the living hell out of him, knowing that Kari is going to give him the biggest beat down of the century
"What a jerk," Kagome muttered
Chazz was slightly chuckling.
"No! I know this it's a……" Syrus was blushing and trying to think of the answer, which took a while
"Relax Sy!" Jaden told him
"Yeah, you totally got this!" Yusuke added
Syrus felt bad about himself, "I think not, sit down!" Dr. Crowler commanded, which he did, "Now could someone tell me the answer?" he asked, 'Preferably, someone who actually knows the answer, of course.' he thought shaking his head slowly and with people laughing
"I blew it! I made all the Slifers look bad!" Syrus said
"You know somethin', teach." Jaden said, which caught both Yusuke and Syrus's attention, "You really shouldn't be making fun of us, Slifers like that."
"Huh!" the doctor said
"I mean I'm a Slifer and I beat ya. So, when you make fun of us, you are really making fun of yourself!" Jaden said which frustrated the doctor and added small snickers from Yusuke, Kira, Kagome, Kari and Alexis.
'That's it! I won't tolerate this slacker at my school, for another second I'll see to it that he's taken down!' Crowler thought in frustration
However, Yusuke could sense what Crowler thinking was and wondered what he could be planning to do.
Later, it was Professor Banner's turn to teach, "So, as some of you students know, my name is Professor Lyman Banner," Banner said, while petting his cat, "I specialize at some of the lesser known tactics and strategies in the world of duel monsters, some of a few might consider to be natural."
As Banner was going on, Jaden was yawning as he was feeling asleep, "Oh by the way thanks Jaden!" Syrus whispered
Jaden turned his sleepy gaze to Syrus, "Sure no prob…… for what?" he asked
"Sticking up for me," Syrus replied
Jaden turned his eye away from Syrus, "Uh oh, I'm thinking that I might have to do that again, in a second."
"Syrus!" Professor Banner called out
Syrus sprung up from his seat, "Yeah!" he squeaked
"Do me a favor and grab Pharaoh, will you?"
Syrus was confused, "Pharaoh?"
"Unless, you're minoring as a scratching post."
A meow sound was heard from Syrus's feet. He looks down and sees Pharaoh at his feet and some of the kids are laughing at this.
Later Dr. Crowler was at his office, still furious at Jaden for humiliating him in front of class as he was writing down something, "How dare that Slifer Slacker Jaden make a mockery out of me in front of my class like that?" he muttered as he placed the feather pain back to its case, "It would be the last mistake that he'll make in this academy." He said, as he placed the letter into the envelope. Little did he know a seed was on the floor in his office and outside his office a pair of red eyes was spying on Dr. Crowler.
Dr. Crowler gets a small mirror and lipstick and puts some on his lips (A/N: What a freak!)
Dr. Crowler kisses the letter to make a kiss mark onto, "The Big Kiss Off!" he joked and laughed
At the same time, another class is beginning. The students change they uniforms and are ready inside a main dome.
"I wonder where Sy is." Yusuke asked, himself eying around the place for any sign of the little blue haired teen, "Damn it, I hate gym class."
Inside the locker room, Dr. Crowler is lurking around to see if the coast is clear and got out of his hiding place, "Now to plan the beat where Jaden will have it," he said, as he was opening the door of every locket to find Jaden's locker, "Ah his shoes!" he whispered.
Dr. Crowler placed the letter onto Jaden's shoes and grinned at the thought of his planned-out revenge.
While at the gym, a young lady in a gym uniform walked in front of the students. "Hi everyone my name is Fiona Fontaine," the red head introduced, "I'll be your gym instructor for the semester," the blue head added, "Are you ready to sweat?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Lousy girls' gym!" Syrus came sliding into the room, "They should make the sign bigger!" he complained as he was trying to get his shoe off of his foot, while hopping. Syrus opened his locker that they were to open and crouching down, "Hey those are Jaden's sneakers!" Syrus said, "He must have placed them in the wrong locker."
Syrus takes Jaden's sneakers out of his locker and spotted a letter. The little blunette grabs it and looks at it and gets alarmed, "But this isn't Jaden's. Someone wrote me a letter, I wonder what it says." Syrus opens the letter and reads it: "Since the moment I first saw you I've been in love with you. Meet me tonight behind the Obelisk Girls' dorm. Signed in dearingly, Alexis Rhodes!"
Syrus fell down with a funny grin on his face, "Wow, this is better than what my mom gives me." He said.
Unknown to Syrus, a pair of eyes was watching him and left in a blur.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After gym class, Yusuke went to the boys' locker room and changed out of his gym clothes and into his uniform, "It's been a while, detective."
Yusuke's eyes widened, "I know that voice." He muttered as he looked behind him to meet with a certain fire demon, "Hiei, long time no see." He greeted
"Hn…it's nice that you're adjusting to this card school," Hiei said, "And you're getting a lot of praising from teachers, here, for someone in the lowest rank in the school."
"Yeah, I couldn't believe that I didn't think about going with Kari to Dueling Prep School, instead of going to a lousy school where I came from." Yusuke said, with venom, "It kinda made me realize why I ditched school in the past, people there never treated me like their equal, there always either afraid of me, giving me a pointless lecture, or nagging me 24/7 because of caring for me, when in reality they don't."
Hiei knew and didn't really cared about this, but got straight to the point, "Hn…anyway, your friend, Syrus, is in big trouble."
Yusuke gaped his mouth open, "What Syrus, how much trouble!" he said, "It is Chazz Princeton or any other Obelisk."
"Close, it's about that clown that offered you to be an Obelisk Blue student."
"You mean Dr. Crowler," Yusuke said.
"Did you happen to see anything wrong with Syrus?" Hiei asked.
Yusuke thought about it for a bit, "Now that you mention it, Sy did look kinda freakishly happy during gym class, so freakishly happy, even for him, that he started dancing all the way to me saying how it's a 'beautiful day'." He said, "It kinda made me a bit uncomfortable."
"Is this how you humans are when you get a sappy love letter?"
Yusuke raised in eyebrow, "What do you mean that?" he asked, "Did Syrus get a love letter? For who?"
"Actually, the letter was for your friend, Jaden."
"Jaden?"
"Yes, you see, did some spying on your teacher and he was formulating a plan to have your friend, expelled from this school."
Yusuke places his finger on his chin, "Now that you mention it, Crowler looked pissed at Jaden, for making him remember that he destroyed his Ancient Gear Golem."
"That's because Crowler was angry with Jaden!" Yumi said
Yusuke was surprised at this, 'YUMI, WHAT THE HELL!?! DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT I'M IN THE BOYS LOCKER ROOM!' he thought
Yumi rolled her eyes, "Oh please, Yusuke, I'm no pervert thank you. I could read your mind and knew that you were changed."
'That's good.' Yusuke mentally said, "Say Hiei, you want to have dinner with us Slifers?"
"No thanks, Yusuke," Hiei said, "You should know that I don't dine with other humans."
Hiei whirled around and walked away from Yusuke, "Okay Hiei, don't be a stranger now!" he said, as Hiei sends a wave as he disappeared.
"So Dr. Crowler wants revenge on Jaden, huh?" Yusuke said. "But how am I gonna break the news to Sy?"
"You can't tell him, Yusuke," Yumi said.
"What do you mean by that?" Yusuke asked
"Think about it, Yusuke. If you tell Syrus, without the right evidence, then he'll get so incredibly angry with you, because before, he believed that girls wouldn't even look at him, because of his height issue."
"Then, how am I going to get the evidence."
Yumi sends a cheesy smile at Yusuke and points at the pendent he was wearing. The pendent glowed and in his hand was a mini video camera, "What's this?"
"It's a spy camera," Yumi replied, "Now we you see Syrus, you can place this onto his shoulder."
Yusuke smiled, "Yumi, I can't thank you enough," he said.
"It's no problem, Yusuke. I mean what are friends for?"
"But you helped Kagome and I more than we helped you." Yusuke said, "I mean, if it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't be praised by teachers like I am now."
Yumi smiled, "You know, Yusuke, you and Kagome have given me what I always wanted, real friends," she said, "Before, I met HIM I was always alone, I never had any friends at all, I was picked on by my peers, my father abandoned my mother and I. My mother was the same with you, she didn't seem to care about me, all she did was just party than being a parent to me, and I bet that she doesn't even miss me at all. I had my Duel Monsters Cards to keep me sane. I was suffering from loneliness, even in death. Until I found my way to you guys thanks to Saiou."
"You know, we owe a lot to Saiou for everything that he's done for us." Yusuke said. "If it wasn't for him, I'd still be the Yusuke Urameshi, who believed that the one person in the world that he loved a lot more than his life cared about him, but in the end Saiou showed me a side of her that I never knew."
"Having your emotions toyed with is a bitch, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Syrus ran out of the school with a grin on his face, "Hey Sy!"
The blunette stopped at the voice and looked at Yusuke, who was walking towards him, "Yusuke, what's up?"
"Nothing, where are you off to?" Yusuke asked
Syrus wasn't sure how he was going to tell Yusuke. He knew that Yusuke hasn't recovered with his break-up with Keiko, yet. "I'm…uh! Meeting someone tonight."
Yusuke knew that that Syrus was hiding something and he already knew the reason, "Okay, whatever!" Yusuke patted Syrus's on the shoulder, "Good luck!" Yusuke ran off from the blunette.
At night at the Slifer Dorm……
"Hey Sy, the outhouse is all yours, if you want it!" Jaden announced as he walked inside the dorm, while rubbing his hair with his towel
"Sy's gonzo!" Chumley said, which got Jaden's attention, "Yeah, he just left and he was in a really good mood to."
"A good mood?" Jaden said, with an eyebrow raised, "That really doesn't sound like Syrus."
Next door, Yusuke and Kagome were adjusting the T.V. set and they succeeded, just in time to see Syrus, in the screen getting captured by the girls and they concluded that Syrus must have gotten spotted.
"Let go please!" Syrus begged as he was held by the arms
Just then, the door opened to reveal Ryoko coming in, "Hey! What's going on!?!" she asked, walking towards the T.V. screen where Syrus was taken to Alexis and her two roommates.
"Hey that's Truesdale!" Ryoko gawked, "What's he doing at the Obelisk girls' dorm!?!"
"Well, he wasn't peeking on them so that's out," Kagome said.
"A love letter from Alexis?" Mindy asked, "You've got to be kidding."
Yusuke sighed, "Poor Syrus," he said
"Yep, ask her," Syrus suggested
"What's going on?" Ryoko asked
"Well this is Dr. Crowler's trap," Yusuke said. "He wanted it to be Jaden, instead of Syrus."
"Hello Alexis is really tall and you're really short," Jasmine told Syrus, "She's really good in dueling and you're not……"
"So he believes that HE could get a love letter!" Ryoko gagged
"Syrus, my name isn't even spelled right," Alexis said, after reading the letter
"He's such an idiot," Ryoko said, in a bored tone.
"Here's what, girls," Alexis said, with her arms crossed, "I say we'll use Sy, here as bait to find out what we've been wondering about before. Just how good Jaden is and I think I know how."
"Oh crap!" Yusuke said.
"They're after Jaden, now!" Kagome added.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
As he was landing the boat, Jaden sees Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy there with the captured Syrus. Unknown to Jaden, someone was taping this incident.
At the Slifer Dorms…
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Ryoko asked, watching Jaden's arrival at the Obelisk territory.
"Yeah, it will." Yusuke said
"Hi Jaden!" Syrus greeted
"Hey, so what is it exactly is going on here?" Jaden asked
"To make a long story short," Syrus replied, "I'm basically a big loser."
"That's true," Ryoko muttered
Kagome glared at the pigtailed duelist, "Hey cut it out!" she snapped.
"Your friend here trespassed here to the Obelisk girls' dorm campus." Jasmine told him
"Is that true Sy?" Jaden asked
"Hey it's not like that!" Syrus snapped, knowing what was going on in Jaden and the girls' minds
"And know that you're here, Jaden," Mindy started, "You're trespassing too!"
"That logic doesn't make any sense at all!" Ryoko gawked
"Easy, Ryoko," Yusuke said, "If Jaden loses than we'll use the tape as blackmail to keep their mouths shut." he added, with a gleefully expression
"Duel!"
At the middle of the lake, Jaden and Alexis are facing each other, with Jaden standing on his boat, with Syrus and Alexis standing on the other boat with her roommates.
"Watashi no time, draw!" Alexis (ALP: 8000) draws her card and places it in her hand, "Etoile Cyber, rise!" a woman in a red jumpsuit appears on the field (ATK: 1200) "And I'll place one card face-down!"
"Ore no time, draw!" Jaden (JLP: 8000) draws his card and looks at it, "First, I'll summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!" Elemental Hero Sparkman (ATK: 1600), "And now I'll have him attack your Etoile Cyber with Static Shockwave!" Sparkman sends a flow of electricity at Etoile Cyber.
Alexis grunts, "Hold it right there!" Alexis's face-down card is opened up, "I'll play the trap card, Doble Passé!"
Sparkman's attack is thrown away from Etoile Cyber hits Alexis, which confuses Jaden a bit, "Doble Passé changes your attack to a direct attack on me (ALP: 8000)-(ALP: 6400) and now my monster that you were going to attack gets to wage a direct attack on you!" True to Alexis's words, Etoile Cyber charges towards Jaden.
"Oh great……" Jaden muttered
"Oh when my Etoile Cyber attacks an opponent directly her attack gets increased by 600 points!" Etoile Cyber (ATK: 1200) - (ATK: 1800) past Sparkman and round kicks Jaden's left shoulder and Jaden clutches his shoulder (JLP: 8000)-(JLP: 6200), "I have to admit that was good." Jaden muttered, "I'll place a facedown."
Alexis smirked, "Watashi no time, draw!" she wipes out a card, "I'll play Blade Skater!" A purple and blue woman with large ice skates which seemed to be part of her feet, and identical blades on her wrists appeared on Alexis' field and skates by Etoile Cyber. (ATK: 1400), "And, I'll play the spell card, Polymerization to fuse both Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater together to summon Cyber Blader!" A female monster that appeared looked like a mixture of Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater. She had long blue hair, pale skin, and a mixed red and purple jumpsuit. Like Blade Skater, she was wearing a pair of ice skates, although she didn't have arm blades. (ATK: 2100)
Yusuke and Kagome gaped their mouths opens, "That's Cyber Blader!" Yusuke said.
"This could be bad for Jaden!" Kagome said
"Now Cyber Blader attack Sparkman with Whirlwind Rage!" At Alexis's commanded, Cyber Blader skated towards Jaden's Sparkman and slices through the hero, with her skates and destroying it. Jaden grunts as his life points went down (JLP: 6200)-(JLP: 5700) and went back to Alexis's side.
"Way to go, Alexis!" Mindy cheered
"Yeah, you've got him now!" Jasmine added, "I knew what this punk defeated Dr. Crowler, it was only luck."
"It will be my pleasure to prove you wrong," Jaden announced, "Ore no time, draw!" Jaden draws his card, "All right perfect, I'll activate the field spell card, Fusion Gate!" Jaden slaps the card into the field spell slot, "Now I'll can fuse monsters without a Polymerization card and I'm going to summon this one, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (ATK: 2100)
"Okay, it looks like it's one fusion monster against another, huh, Jaden?" Alexis goaded with a grin, "That's fine with me, all though, since they have the same attack power, they'll end up destroying each other."
"True, but I'll activate a spell card known as Misfortune!" Jaden declared
"Oh shit!" Alexis gasped
"I'm guessing by the surprised expression that you know what this card do," Jaden said, "With this spell card, you monster gets to attack you directly and you take damage equal to half of your Cyber Blader's attack points!"
"Damn it……" Alexis complained
"Now Cyber Blader attack Alexis directly with Whirlwind Rage!" Jaden declared as a shining green barrier appeared around him and before Alexis knew it, her Cyber Blader was rushing forward to attack the barrier and bounced off and lunged at the frightened Alexis and kicks Alexis's chin (ALP: 6400)-(ALP: 5350), "Had enough, yet!" Jaden said, with a smirk
"Not one bit!" Alexis was gritting her teeth, hating to have her own monster attack her, "But too bad that you can't attack this turn, since you've played Misfortune."
"You're right," Jaden said, "I can't attack this turn and even if I can the only that would survive is your Cyber Blader."
"What……" Alexis said
"That's right, I was told about Cyber Blader's effects and I'm very impressed, but it won't stay on the field for much longer! Go trap card, Flame Wingman Scorcher!"
"What's it do?" Alexis asked
"I can only activate this card when I have Flame Wingman on my side of the field and it destroys one monster on your side of the field, despite having special effects like if I have one monster on my side of the field it you monster can't be destroyed in battle."
Fire had swirled around Cyber Blader and the female monster gave a shriek as it was engulfed by the flames, "No! My Cyber Blader!" Alexis exclaimed (ALP: 5350/JLP: 5700)-(ALP: 3250/JLP: 3600)
"All right!" Yusuke cheered
"Alexis's best monster is destroyed!" Jasmine said
"Are you impressed?" Jaden asked, with a smirk
"Yeah, I have to admit that was impressive," Alexis said, "Watashi no time, draw!" she draws the card and smirked, "All right, I'll activate the spell card, Fusion Monster Reborn to summon Cyber Blader back from the grave!" Cyber Blader comes back from the dead with vengeance in mind (ATK: 2100), "Next, I'll play Fusion Weapon to Cyber Blader to increase her strength by 1500 points." (ATK: 2100/DEF: 800)-(ATK: 3600/DEF: 2300)
"Uh oh! I think you might need to brace yourself for this one, Sy ole' buddy," Jaden said
"Go Blader, attack Flame Wingman with Trident Shock!" Cyber Blader let's out a huge blast at Flame Wingman and before he could defend himself the monster was disintegrated and Jaden covers his face with his left arm as his life points dramatically decreased (JLP: 3600)-(JLP: 2100), "Don't forget about Fusion Monster Reborn's side effect!"
Alexis sighed, "No Jaden, I haven't forgotten about that. I'll end my turn." she said as her life points went down a bit (ALP: 3250)-(ALP: 2200)
Jaden looked at his duel disk, 'The only card I have out is Fusion Gate, but there's still a chance that I'll win. It all just depends what I draw right here and now.' He thought, "Ore no time, draw!" he announced as he drew his card and grinned, "Perfect!"
"I'll play the Elemental Hero Clayman, rise!" Jaden announced. Elemental Hero Clayman (ATK: 800), "And I'll activate the spell card, Monster Reborn, so come on back, Sparkman!" in a whirl of wind Sparkman appears on the field besides Clayman (ATK: 1600)
"What difference will he make?" Alexis asked, "My Cyber Blader has way more attack points than him. Your Sparkman won't stand a chance!"
"He won't but with Fusion Gate's special effect, I can fuse him and Clayman together to summon someone it will. Rise Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!" in a blaze of thunder and lightning a yellow and purple giant appears onto Jaden's side (ATK: 2400)
"Hate to break it to ya, but my Cyber Blader's attack points are still higher at 3600!" Alexis pointed out
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know," Jaden said, "But one of my Thunder Giant's special effect is that he can destroy one of your monsters if its original attack points are lower than his own."
"Wait, original attack points……."
"That's right, original attacks without any enhancement."
"But before I played Fusion Weapon, my Cyber Blader's attack points were just 2100."
"Exactly and that's even lower than my Hero Thunder Giant's, so your Blader is automatically destroyed!" True to Jaden's word, Thunder Giant blasts electrocity, similar to Sparkman's attack at Cyber Blader, destroying her, "And the coolest part about it is, Alexis, is that I still have his attack to use on you, Voltage Thunder!" the giant blasts a huge stream of electrocity at Alexis and hits her.
"Alexis!" Jasmine exclaimed, as Alexis falls back as her life points hit zero.
"What just happened?" Mindy asked
"Yeah!" Syrus cheered
"All right, it looks like that is game!" Jaden announced as he was thrust his two fingers at Alexis
"I don't believe it," Ryoko said, after watching Jaden's victory
"Awesome! Jaden won!" Kagome cheered
"Well a deal's a deal," Jaden said, "I won and we get off free!"
Alexis placed her hand on her side, "Okay guys, I won't back out, we'll keep this a secret!"
"Well if you ask me, I think we should turn both of them in, right now!" Jasmine spat
Alexis glared at Jasmine, "Well no one asked you!" she spat
"Alexis……" Jasmine started
"Jaden beat me in a duel fair and square there's nothing to it."
"Actually it was more than that, it was close," Jaden said, in a matter-of-fact, "Yeah, you got game!" he added, which surprised Alexis a bit
"Later!" the boys said as the row away
A few moments later, Yusuke gets out of room and towards his dorm, "Hey Yusuke!"
The Slifer to see Botan flying towards him on her oar and landing on the ground, "Botan, what are you doing here?"
Botan grabs Yusuke's wrist, "Hurry there's not a moment to lose!" she said. She pulled Yusuke from the ground and away from the Slifer Dorm.
"Hey Botan, what the hell is the big idea!?!" Yusuke yelled as he pulled his wrist away from Botan's grip and he landed on the ground, behind the Slifer Dorm.
Botan lowered herself down, "Yusuke, what are…"
"What's this all about!?!" Yusuke asked, "If you came this way to tell me that I hurt HER feelings then I don't want to hear it! Although, I'm getting the feeling that you had something to do with her outfit."
Yusuke did an about face and walked away from Botan, "Well, you couldn't be harsher on poor Keiko, do you realize how much pain you're given……"
"Oh shut up!" Yusuke snapped as he stopped, "Do you realize the pain I'm going through because of her? Furthermore, did you honestly think by making Keiko change her wardrobe and that perfume that I'd be that easy to get!?!"
Botan winced, realizing that it was her idea, "Anyways, this isn't about her it's about your new mission!"
Yusuke turned around to face the blue haired reaper, "What mission?" he inquired, "I was fucking fired remember!"
"That was then but Koenma has talked it over with his father and he wants you to come back as spirit detective, now."
Yumi appeared by Yusuke, "Yusuke, you're seriously not going to go back to working with that pacifier sucking backstabber, are you?" she asked, "For all I know, Koenma was probably lying to Botan into bring you to Spirit World, where Saiou wouldn't save you again." Yusuke snorted and did an about face, once more and walked away wordlessly, "Yusuke, where are you going!?!" Botan yelled.
Yusuke whirled around to glare at Botan, "No! I'm not going back to work for that binky sucking prick!" he sneered
Botan could believe what Yusuke was saying, "Yusuke, why are you……"
"I'm through being a Koenma's demon slaying monkey," Yusuke said, "Goodbye, Botan."
Yusuke walked away from Botan again, but Botan wasn't going to give up so she followed Yusuke, "But Yusuke, we really need you!"
"I'm sorry, I'm not going back to that toddler looking Turncoat!"
"What do you mean by that…"
Yusuke stopped and whirled around at Botan, "A month ago, that prick and his daddy had the SDF arrested me because that bicky sucking dork believed that I would be a danger to humanity if I stay here!" he yelled loudly
"What! I can understand King Emma, but Koenma wouldn't do such a thing!?!" Botan protested
"Oh really, last I checked there's only one Spirit World's last defense, Botan!" Yusuke argued
Botan couldn't believe what she was hearing, 'No it can't be…' she thought desperately, "Yusuke, come on, there's got to be a logical explanation for all this."
"NO!" Yusuke yelled
"But Yusuke…"
"What part of 'no' didn't you comprehend, is it the 'n' or the 'o'?! It's over!"
"But…"
"What the hell is with you and the word 'but'?!"
"But…"
"There it is again!" Yusuke yelled, "My answer is the same, Botan, Hell no!"
Botan sighed with frustration, "Listen Yusuke, I know Koenma and he wouldn't……"
"Save it, Botan," Yusuke said, "I'm done with you Spirit World Freaks get Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama or some other sucker to do the job, I'm through, it's over! I'm not going to go work for someone, who only wants me in Spirit World Jail! I told you that I will never go back as a spirit detective and I'm serious! I'm enjoying my new life as a duelist, not a fighter!"
"Koenma wouldn't do that," she whispered, "I know…"
"Botan, how do you know that Koenma isn't lying to you?" Yusuke inquired. "He could be playing with your emotions, just like…"
"Yusuke, how can you say that!?!" Botan said, "You know that's not true!"
"Then, explain why the hell did the Tool Brigade almost had me arrested on that dork's orders!?!" Yusuke said
Botan didn't know what to believe, she knew that Koenma wouldn't send the Spirit World Defense Force on Yusuke, but Yusuke sounded very angry about being almost captured by them.
Yusuke snorted, in anger, "I'd take your silence meaning that you have no answer," he said and did an about face and walked away, "Goodbye Botan."
Botan summoned her oar and got on. She took one final look at Yusuke's retreating back and was off.
Yusuke was now angry and kicked a rock, "Stupid Spirit World, stupid Koenma…" he muttered. As he got to the side of the Slifer Dorm, he spotted Jaden, Syrus, Ryoko and Catherine by the side, with shock looks on their faces.
"Okay, how long were you guys here?" Yusuke asked
"Long enough to see you being pulled away from the dorm by a blue haired lady on a floating oar," Jaden replied
Yusuke's eyes widened at this, "So…you guys heard what was said, right?" he inquired
"Yeah, Botan came to get you to get your job as spirit detective, right?" Syrus said
"Spirit…" Jaden said
"…Detective." Ryoko finished
Yusuke snorted, "Well, I didn't take it," he said, "Why should I work for someone, who's going to put me in Spirit World Jail?"
"My question is that how in the hell did you get mixed up with this work?" Catherine asked
"Well, it all started with that car accident, a year old……" Yusuke told everything that has happened to him, including his demonic heritage. Needless to say, Ryoko was now very wary of him, more because of his demonic heritage, "So, right now, we have a demon talking to us!" Ryoko squeaked in fear.
"Yeah, we do!" Syrus yelled, "And get it to that thick skull of yours that Yusuke isn't going to kill us!"
Ryoko glared at Syrus, "Well excuse me for being worrying about having my life in tact, Shorty!" she barked.
"Cool it, you two!" Yusuke advised "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to bed." Yusuke made his way past his friends and towards the dorm room.
Catherine looked at the direction, where Yusuke had gone to, 'Yusuke, he's…like me.' She thought
