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 69: Nanahoshi Ranran, Godmother
"And…cut!" Miranda called to the Galaxy Cup's MCs behind the camera. "We're out!"
"Nice work, everyone! See you all tomorrow, de gojaru!" Menjaburo acknowledged the "leader" of their gang while leaving his post at the MIK/Mutsuba Heavy Machinery/Goha Company rig built in the bay. "Evening, Yuhi-san."
"Oh! Yuhi! You just missed Damamu. Chupataro took Damamu home when we went to commercial." Ranran handed off her mic.
"Ah. Mm. I'll catch up to them."
"We didn't get to cover UTS' own Jointech Boy today. Are you not taking part in the Galaxy Cup?"
"I am. Didn't have time to turn on my Rush Battler today. I was with Yudias at his tutoring gig. He's teachin' this little girl up at Kamijo Gear Company how to Rush Duel and she's sorta…out there."
"I'm certain he'll be an amazing tutor!"
"What makes you say that?"
"Why, Yudias has an excellent mentor!"
"You think so too, huh?" Like Damamu, Yuhi loved a good endorsement.
"Yes! A mother's work is never done!"
Yuhi sweatdropped. "You were commendin' me on that? Not my duelling?"
"I wouldn't know," Ranran teased. "Get duelling."
"Yes, yes. I'll get right on it tomorrow. But while I have you…"
"Hm?"
"Chupataro and I talked it over. Us excluded, Damamu really seems to gravitate towards you."
That's literally what Damamu did, levitating around her all the time.
"Damamu should. Damamu did possess me!"
"Y-yeah. Anyway, it's two years late, but…We were talkin' and…Will ya be Damamu's godmother?"
"G-godmother?"
"Maybe it's a dumb idea…"
"No! It absolutely isn't! Miss MIK would be honoured to accept the rank of godmother!"
"Miss MIK? When was that decided? And how?" Yuhi unknowingly restated his Earthdamar's same exact words to her.
Déjà vu?
Galactica Deja Vu?
"Damamu really is your child, Yuhi. A-hahahahaha."
…
"I'm home."
"WAH! WELCOME BACK, YUHI!" Damamu greeted.
"Didja have fun bein' on TV, Damamu?"
"Mm! A lot of fun!"
"Sorry I'm late."
"Something hold you up, chupa?"
"Something…I'll tell ya later." Yuhi sat down on the wool-riddled floor. "What's for dinner? I'm as hungry as Shewbahha!"
"Just don't eat Ryugu Phaser, chupa!"
"Says the guy who almost ate Phaser's brother."
"Chuchu. Very funny, chupa. Eat up. It's takeout tsukemen, cabra!"
"Takeout tsukemen? I bet Menjaburo would like to have a chat with you over how untraditional that sounds."
"Would he?" Chupataro dipped his noodles into the broth. "We bought it from his stall, chupa!"
"He found help? Aren't he and Ranran covering the tournament full time?"
"Blue-haired girl, chupa."
"Of course. Blue-haired girl." Yuhi separated his chopsticks. "Blue-haired miscellaneous jobs girl!"
They needed to learn her name. Not learning it and not addressing her by her name had the makings of a villain origin story.
Neither wanted to be with the girl on the phone if that happened.
"Yuhi! After dinner, (rest incomprehensible)!"
"Hey! Damamu! No talking with your mouth full, chupa!" Chupataro pointed his chopsticks reprovingly.
This whole setup – Yuhi and Chupataro coming "home" with Damamu to the Black Goat – wasn't a permanent living arrangement. They were alternating back and forth between UTS and the Black Goat on a trial basis. The plan was to alternate several times a week.
Manya claimed they were playing house, much to Mama and Papa's chagrin.
"Ranran played it back for me. How'd you lose to Manya on the first day of the Galaxy Cup? You were part of the Sevens, Chupataro!"
"No more Maximum! And the Polar Star Beasts never really suited Chupa, so Chupa went back to Ewekai monsters, chupa! Meeeg-chan is Chupa's one true Ace, cabra~!"
A vein popped on Yuhi's forehead. "Chupataro, you –!"
"A-and Yuhi, chupa! Chupa changed Chupa's Deck back mainly for Magical Sheep Crossdresser Yuhi, chupa!"
After dinner and a hot bath, Yuhi pulled his jumbo pink sweater on and changed into his pajama pants. By then, Chupataro's Meeeg-chan mania had subsided to permissible levels, and he was nicking Yuhi's neck with his teeth.
He could hear the irregular rhythm of Yuhi's heart through his blood.
But he wouldn't apply pressure.
"Why'd you stop?"
"If Chupa bites, you'll scream. Damamu's asleep inside, cabra."
Damamu was. Yuhi saw Damamu. Floating.
"Goddammit."
"It's a bad look. Acting so desperate, chupa."
"I'll keep my neck to myself then. We'll see how long you last."
"Ch-chu! Let's not do anything we'll regret, chupa!"
"Hehehe."
Chupataro sniffed Yuhi.
"What?"
"You smell like Yudias, cabra."
"E-even after I took a bath? It's not what you think! Wait a minute! Why am I on the spot here? Yudias only hugged me! I didn't call Yudias cute!"
"Where'd you go with Yudias today, anyway? You missed out on the Duels, chupa."
"KGC. He's tutoring a box. Well, a girl in a box."
"Yudias is tutoring, chupa?"
"His student's this rich princess type. Adamant she doesn't wanna Rush Duel."
"Let Chupataro guess. Yudias, being Yudias, didn't believe her and convinced her, chupa?"
"Yep. I also spoke with Ranran 'bout you-know-what."
"Does Damamu have a godmother now, chupa?"
"Mm-hmm."
"So why the long face, cabra?"
"Yuamu was being weird."
"About the godmother thing? She's already an aunt, chupa!"
"Nah, she duelled Yudias but doesn't remember duelling him. She used a card I've never seen before, but when I checked for it in her Deck, the card – Darkness Drake – was gone!"
"Spooky. How is she, chupa?"
"Disoriented. Purisaki-san said she'd keep watch t'night in case."
"So you've done all you can do and should turn in, chupa. You look awful tired yourself, chupa!"
"You ain't tired, Chupataro?"
"Chupa will sleep after you're asleep, chupa! Chupa will keep watch on you tonight, cabra!"
Yuhi snuggled up to Chupataro.
He wasn't complaining.
