A Japanese Weresheep in Mutsuba Town
Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH! series.
Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 68: Fabulous and Dangerous
A backdoor…in a backdoor?
"So we can get back to the card world through Yggdrago's entry in Goha Company's database? Yuga-kun, did you plan this far ahead?"
"No, even I didn't have the foresight, Yuamu. But this will work in our favour, won't it, nya?"
"That's Neiru-sama for you!" Schrödinger praised his boss. "Regardless of the period, the fruits of his brilliance leave their impact on the world!"
Yuro and Yuka's Duel Disks reset to five zones following their respective Rush Duels with Yuhi and Yuamu. The four crossed paths with Yuga and Schrödinger. Yuga crossed a road, crossing roads with a blue-haired teenager closely resembling the Great King of Terror. And somebody came down in Mutsuba Heavy Machinery's spaceship the day after that. Somebody who may or may not be Yuga himself.
Schrödinger returned to Haven to witness history unfold.
Yuro and Yuka returned to Goha HQ to do so with their siblings, the Proprietress, and Atachi Mimi.
Who was it inside the homebound vessel?
The creator of Rush Duels?
His fated enemy?
Or, as The*Providence feared, were they –?
The three Ohdos passed through the card-shaped backdoor in a backdoor, the answer hanging there, like the spaceship amongst the clouds.
…
"Everyone…I apologize." Phaser bowed to the aliens of the Alien Residential Area.
"So because they're the last of the space dragons, we're letting them off, chupa? After all the terrible stuff they did, cabra?"
If past was prologue, Yuhi would be willing to let bygones be bygones. If Phaser and Tremolo's remorse was authentic and they gave him reason to trust them – like he had with Chupataro, Tell, Mitsuko, Zuwijo, Yuna, Rovian, The*Luge, etc. – Yuhi would consider playing the forgiveness card.
But Chupataro wasn't willing to at the drop of a hat.
"Chupa agrees to a truce…BUT, raise a hand to Yuhi again, and Chupa'll –!"
"Huh? Like I care!" Tremolo looked ready to whip his extendable sasumata out.
Chupataro placed himself in the way.
"Just kidding! Awww…And after your gutsy spectacle, I thought we could be friends!"
"Shut up, chupa! You want to die, cabra?"
"You're so gullible, Chupey!" Tremolo laughed.
This ceasefire was as thin as Phaser's scales were to Shewbahha's teeth: Tremolo was stubbornly against the consumption of their space dragon anatomy by other species (at least, for free), and Chupataro, who sucked out a substantial volume of Tremolo's blood, was of the opinion they ought to let Shewbahha eat Phaser and Tremolo to be done with the Ryugu brothers once and for all.
Damamu's goodness sprang from Yuhi. Damamu made the final call for them, flying Shewbahha a scroll of Phaser's scales.
"Here ya go! All flat and bendy!"
Those were some sharp metal shears Damamu was snipping with to cut Phaser's scroll.
"Damamu! Use safety scissors, chupa!"
…
If there was a counterweight to the hasty clemency toward Phaser and Tremolo, it was that Yuna and Asaka refused to make it a silent transition. They argued with Phaser over Goha Company and Mutsuba Heavy Machinery's right to host the Galaxy Cup over MIK, bringing fabulous and dangerous to the shouting match.
While Yuna and Asaka argued sponsorship, the brains of Mutsuba Town argued the origins of the Relic. Now, although Yuna and Asaka were most outspoken, the loudest yet unverbalized altercation exploded between Mitsuko and that no-show Zuwijo.
Mitsuko's outburst was warranted. In addition to going AWOL without an overdue word to her, Zuwijo had ordered his Whisper Officer to run Boiled Bagel Requiem's second shop during the upcoming tournament (what felt like giving her the third finger). On top of that, she'd been uncarded late since everybody apparently forgot she existed, and seeing Yuhi and Chupataro and Yuna and Rovian together when her love eluded her again (if only to achieve closure) really put the "Boiled" in Boiled Bagel Requiem for her.
What ensued was a "Poissoniere de Nouvellez versus Patissciel Couver"-style concours de cuisine, Muda obviously Patissciel Couver based on his flowing silky purple hair alone. Mitsuko easily won, and Muda, Manabu(bu), and Nyandestar dove under BBR's stall to avoid her three waves of three skewers thrown from behind the aptly named Dango Soup from Orion Full of Hate.
Chupataro walked by Yuhi and Yudias assembling another stall along the galley of the Galaxy Cup venue, a pyramid of I-beams in his robot's arms.
"Yudias, cover for me. I'll be right back."
"UTS!"
"Chupataro, wait up!"
Chupataro set the beams down where Tazaki-san could pick them up in the crane.
"We haven't gotten to discuss –"
"What Yuga said, chupa?"
"I'm afraid you might be overdoin' it."
"This, chupa? Six is nothing, cabra!"
"I mean it's okay to relax. MIK's rebranded. You can stop lookin' over your shoulder. No one's comin' to get us."
"Chupa asked for this, chupa. Chupa wanted the truth, chupa."
"Except he didn't tell ya, did he? Yuga isn't exactly upfront when it comes to details."
"Why did Yuga give Chupa that prototype Trap Card, chupa? And Fusion? And choose Chupa to be a member of the Sevens, chupa? There has to be a reason, cabra!"
"You think he knows more than he's lettin' on."
"Like he's writing Chupa's story, chupa!"
"Well, Yuga created Rush Duels in our time. They shouldn't exist, but according to Yuga, the future didn't change, so…"
"Is Chupa even supposed to be with Yuhi, cabra?"
"Chupataro!"
"Sorry, chupa. Stupid question. You're Chupa's family, chupa."
"We aren't married, Chupataro!"
"But we have a kid, chupa! You smiled! Whether this is or isn't supposed to happen, it's Chupa's job to provide for and protect you and Damamu, chupa!"
That had Yuhi smiling again. He and Chupataro kissed, Chupataro's robot's hand rambling through his rattail.
