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 27: Kappa and Heiress
"Have a look inside here and feel better." The*Luge approached Chupataro with the dreaded box.
"STOP! STOP, STOP, STOP! CHUPATARO! CHUPATAROOOOOOOO!"
Yuhi bolted awake in a cold sweat, seated on one of the couches in Asaka's office. The President of Mutsuba Heavy Machinery was stoically signing paperwork, and with her was her chief strategist and genius space pigeon, Kayama Badlove.
"Are you done screaming in your sleep? Good. Now get out. We are very busy around here."
"Done? I demand you create me another Fusion card so I can take on the Great King of Terror myself! Chupataro's unfinished business…I'll pick up where he left off!"
"Demand? Who are you to come in here and hurl demands at me?"
"Ohdo Yuhi: Manager of UTS' Positive Division!"
"So you say, but you're not very positive right now, are you?"
Yuhi's shoulders sank dejectedly. "I mean, of course I'm not…Chupataro, he –"
"Noisy! Stop moping to Asaka-ojosama and get lost, coo!" Badlove flew off the perch by Asaka's excavator desk to berate Yuhi.
"No!" Yuhi fought to keep tears out of his eyes. "I'm not leavin' till Asaka agrees to make me Fusion!"
"COO! The insubordination! Asaka-ojosama doesn't have to entertain your requests, coo!"
"Enough!"
Badlove and Yuhi shut their beaks.
"Why should I, President and CEO of the giant Mutsuba Heavy Machinery corporation, do anything for you?"
"I want to avenge Chupataro. But without Fusion, at my current level, it won't be enough! Please! I need it or else –!"
"Go bother the kappa. That's where you really want to be, anyway. You're not here to avenge anyone. You're looking for an excuse not to face your boyfriend."
"I need Fusion! Don't ya understand? He's –!"
If she had 100 yen for every smitten denizen who barged in demanding she print a new copy of Fusion, she'd be…not that much richer.
Asaka shot Badlove a sharp glance, and the pigeon returned with a briefcase with stacks of cash.
Pocket change, for her.
"Ya think I'll take your money? I didn't take your bribe when you were mistreatin' Yudias' 8.88 million countrymen, and I'm not takin' it now!"
"This is toward a date. Take it and go somewhere with your boyfriend above your normal means."
…
The ice started to form around Chupataro's legs.
"CHUPATARO!"
Chupataro looked back at Yuhi. "Sorry, Chupa couldn't do it, chupa. Chupa…Chupa was glad Chupa met you, chupa."
Yuhi felt sick. His cheeks bloated twice. It wasn't because Chupataro was being frozen. It was…
My…Earthdamar?
"Yuhi!" Yuamu called.
The gooey purple sludge leaked out of Chupataro's Duel Disk, and the ice that'd already ravaged Chupataro's legs receded.
"This…This is in violation of providence!" The*Providence exclaimed.
Chupataro awoke.
At his underground lab beneath Kappa Heavenly Cleaning, Kawai Tell was evaluating Chupataro for a countermeasure against the Great King of Terror.
"Was that the last test, chupa?"
"Yes. I have adequate data to support my conclusion. As I theorized, the key to reversing the freezing process does lie in Earthdamar's immeasurable energy. The positive energy of the Earthdamar present in your Deck and body cancelled out the negative energy of what was inside the Great King's box. Which brings me to my next question: Do you remember what was in the box?"
"No." Chupataro sat up, his spikes grating the exam table. "But why did the Earthdamar work for Chupa when it didn't work for original Chupa and Meeeg-chan, cabra?"
"Based on the two cases we have, yours and theirs, I'd postulate Ohdo Yuhi's emotional outcry prompted the Earthdamar to interrupt the freezing process. That is what saved you. By my calculations, had the process not been interrupted as it occurred, you'd be in the state the others are in at this moment."
"That's what it was, chupa? Guess Chupa has to thank him later, chupa."
"You can do that now. He is upstairs, waiting for you."
"Chupa? He is, chupa?"
"Yes."
"But it's probably good he doesn't see Chupataro, chupa. Chupa needlessly put him in a position where we might have truly had to say goodbye, cabra."
"Don't spend all your time moping in my lab." Tell drank from a bottle of water with a cucumber in it. "I am so parched."
"Chupa isn't moping, chupa!"
"He's your boyfriend, isn't he? Go satisfy your thirst for him."
"As if Chupa is the only one who's ever had a 'thirst' for him, chupa!"
"My interest in Ohdo Yuhi is purely scientific. It is the Earthdamar that whets my thirst for knowledge."
"Uh huh, chupa. And between us, who was it that took the Earthdamar out of him, chupa? Not Chupataro, cabra!"
"You're stalling. Your defensive response doesn't –"
"Fool you, chupa? Chupaaa! Why does everyone keep saying that, chupa?" Chupataro angrily ascended into his robot.
He ascended upstairs to Kappa Heavenly Cleaning's storefront, where Yuhi brooked all of eight seconds, pulling Chupataro into a whimpering hug.
"Okay, okay, chupa! No more hugging, chupa!"
The blue-haired girl Chupataro didn't know the name of from everywhere around town – who he attacked for her drawing of Meeeg-chan previously – was manning the front desk and giggling.
"Ooh! Guess what?" Yuhi bounced in Chupataro's arms. "Asaka gave me a briefcase of money to get out of her office!"
"You accepted a bribe from that woman, chupa?"
"C'mon, Chupataro! Let's go somewhere! Money is no object!"
"You're a moron, chupa!"
"A moron with a still-living boyfriend!"
"Not that, chupa!" Chupataro sighed. "She conned you, chupa!"
"What?"
"We're in space, chupa! There's nothing outside Mutsuba Town, cabra!"
Numbers swirled in Yuhi's thoughts. Overlapping Möbius strips of numbers.
Asaka played him.
He got played!
"ASAKAAAA!" Yuhi railed toward the Sukai-less sky.
