Story Start

It was a nice and sunny day at Duel Academia. The students were taking a break from their teacher's giving them tests on how to play a children's card game and was enjoying the sports portion of their schedule.

It was a good day for Naruto. The other night Naruto fed the soul of Jinzo to Kurama and after kicking the ass of the three students who went about summoning said card monster Naruto went about the break. The only problem being that all the girls had left so he had no one to woo. No Asuka breasts to ogle or girls with taunt behind being shown oh so graciously by the Academia outfit.

Naruto watched as Shou panicked and hit the tennis ball with a weak effort. What did Tennis have to do with Children's card games anyway? Well, I guess they did need exercise as part of the curriculum to qualify as a school. ''You know, Ayukawa-sensei also really wanted to play volleyball.'' Momoe responded to his question and winked at him.

''Hello...what's this?'' Naruto thought as he hit the ball back over.

''You know Tennis requires focus and strategy. Both which can be used in dueling and other things.'' Junko said also winking at him.

''Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I hitting two out of two? Man all I need is Asuka and a hot tub and we have a Naruto Ramen special in the making,'' Naruto thought, unable to stop the grin from growing on his face. He narrowly missed the ball with his racket and hit it at an angle as it went to the other court at an alarming speed. Naruto looked at the other court and saw that the ball was heading toward Aasuka.

"ASUKA! LOOK OUT!" He managed to shout as he spun and twisted, such an action would have resulted in a normal person twisted his angle. Though that was no consequence of Naruto who tried to steady himself and intercept the ball. Unfortunately since it was his own velocity that launched the ball he wouldn't be able to make it in time.

Asuka started to turn her head at Naruto's shout, but a figure jumped between her and a fast approaching ball swatting the ball in another direction. Unfortunately for Chronos the ball went his way and clocked him right in the eye sending him falling out the chair.

The figure landed on his feet and turned to face Aauka. Junko and Momoe had run over to see if Asuka was alright.

''Asuka-san! You're not hurt, are you?'' Junko asked concerned.

The figure stood up and turned. ''Are you alright? You weren't hurt, were you?'' The brown haired pretty boy said as he focused his attention on Asuka.

''No, I'm fine,'' Asuka replied, unaffected like her friends.

Junko and Momoe took one look at the stranger and felt there cheeks going red.

Asuka did a partial bow, ''Thank you for saving me so politely.''

The boy's eyes widen and his cheeks flushed as he was awestruck by Asuka's appearance. 'Is this the Obelisk Blue...Asuka Tenjouin-Kun?''

''Um is there something else?'' Asuka asked, a bit unnerved that the guy was staring at her. 'Great another boy tripping over himself over me.'

The guy laughed nervously and rubbed his hand down his hair. ''I was being rude. I didn't know that there was a lady like yourself in my Obelisk Blue.'' The emphasis on my emphasized the guy had a high opinion of himself. He took Asuka's right hand with his.

''U-Um...''

'A-Ah..'' He snatched his hand back.

When Naruto saw Harrington holding Asuka's hand, he felt his temper flare.

'How dare that pretty boy wannabe touch my Asuka.'

The boy waved good-bye to Asuka as he strolled off the court. Asuka shivered at the wave and turned to look for Naruto but he was being called by Dr. Chronos who had a black eye from the rouge tennis ball.

At the Nurse's Office Chronos was being attended too.

''You Ginger-Tipped bastard this is the last straw! Assaulting a teacher is suspension." Naruto glared at Chronos but said nothing. 'Signoara Ayukawa, please be a bit more tender-no ne...'' Chronos said as Ayukawa turned his head to check his injuries.

"Doctor, you know Uzumaki-kun didn't purposely try to injure you. Why are you taking everything out on him? Can't you just forgive and forget? It was an accident after all." Ayukawa asked the professor.

''Non! Non! Non! That's is like leaving beer lying around, is it not? And a lukewarm one at that. Also because I know he's out to get me. He did the same thing with a baseball not too long ago.''

Ignoring the Pun Naruto replied. ''But that was Bastion.''

''Quiet you...this has nothing to do with you.''

''It has everything to do with him, you're blaming him.'' Ayukawa pointed out.

''You're not going to put me in the torture rack are you sensei?'' Naruto asked stifling a snicker. Somewhere down the line a half sleeping Naruto gave Chronos the idea of a punishment/torture device for the students during one of the blonds day dreams about Asuka/Girl of the day.

''Lucky for you I haven't got the board of directions to sign that clause, but seeing as how I'm in a generous mood I willing to reduce your punishment to joining the tennis team.''

''What if I don't have to join the Tennis team?'' Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

''Then you'll be expelled.''

In the Girl's Locker Room the female students were preparing for class.

''Asuka-san!'' Junko called out to her friend as she and Momoe entered the locker room. ''We figured out who that gentleman was!''

''Don't raise your voice like that! It's embarrassing!'' Asuka chided them for drawing attention. ''It's almost seem like I told you to investigate.''

''Still!''

''We were really interested!'' Momoe added. The girl's continued their discussion outside the locker room.

''Let's see...his name's Mitsuru Ayanokouji. An Obelisk Blue Third-Year who's not just in charge of the Tennis Club, but also the heir to Ayanokouji Motors!''

''Come on...'' Asuka said dismissively.

''On top of that, he's apparently pretty skilled at dueling! His skills rival those of that great Ryou Marufuji, too!'' Momoe exclaimed.

''That's why I'm not interested, guys.''Asuka looked at both of the girls and then she sighed in annoyance. ''I'm trying not too focus on romance, but my dueling game.''

''Or maybe Asuka-san has interests in Uzumaki-kun?'' Momoe teased her.

Asuka tensed.'When I saw how hurt you looked earlier. I never...I never want to see you hurt again,'' Naruto said as Asuka lightly gasped. Her cheeks started to heat up. ''I'll do whatever it takes to make you smile. So let me be your strength.''

''Uzumaki...'' She softly murmured in response to his flirtation.

Naruto turned his head. ''Please...call me Naruto.''

''Fine...but only if you call me Asuka.''

Even now her cheeks started to turn red as she remembered that proclamation.

Before her friends could tease her the trio of Obelisk blue noticed Shou running back and forth exclaiming, ''Oh, No!'' As he went back and forth in a hurry and eventually stopping to run in place.

''What are you so fussy about?'' Momoe asked gaining Shou's attention.

''So noisy...'' Junko added.

''Gomen Nasai, do you know where that Tennis Club is?''

''The Tennis Club was playing at class today.'' Asuka answered him.

''On those courts, huh? Arigatou, Asuka-san! '' Shout took off.

''What was with him?'' Junko asked placing her hands on her hips.

''Did he just ignore us?''

Shou ran back, ''O-Oh, by the way...Aniki took the brunt of Professor Chrono's anger, and he's having a private practice with the Tennis Club's captain! Well there you have it!'' He said taking off again.

''Isn't that Ayanokouji-san?''

''I don't really get much of it, but let's go, Momoe!''

The two girls took off after him. Before Asuka could join someone called out to her.

''Asuka-san!'''

'Daitokuji-sensei!''

''I have something to tell you-Nya...'

Ayanokouji seemed to scowl at annoyance as Naruto seemed able to keep up with him with ease. The blond yawning every once in awhile didn't help with that annoyance either.

Asuka entered the field and Momoe exclaimed in surprise that Asuka showed up. Asuka picked up one of the Tennis balls and made way to the court.

''Asuka...'' Ayanokouji's eyes light up. ''Asuka-kun. To think you came to see...'' She walked right past him.

A look of confusion/disbelief covered his face.

''Hey, I've got something to tell you Naruto-san. I heard from Daitokuji-sensei a bit earlier, but it sounds like someone said they saw Manjoume-san.'''

''Really?''

''Hai!"'

Unknown to them Ayanokouji was brimming with fiery jealously. 'To think Asuka-kun's talking so intimately to Uzumaki-san...I'm filled with the burning rage of jealousy right now!''

''Get away form him, Asuka-kun! I didn't really want to tell you this Asuka-kun but, an Obelisk blue fairy like you is out of an Osiris Rd like Uzumaki-san's league!''

Naruto raised an eyebrow. 'Is he serious?'

''An Obelisk Blue Fairy...'' Shou asked in confusion. An image of a legless Obelisk the Tormentor with Fairy wings frolicking amongst the flowers came to Shou's mind. ''Ew...that's awful!'' He scowled.

''Asuka-kun! A man like me is most suitable for you! Now, please, don't blame me and get away from Uzumaki-san.''

''Hey look here you ass you have some nerve. Who Asuka-san chooses to socialize with is her business not yours.'' Naruto started.

''I don't need your unsightly excuses, Uzumaki-san! To think you've got such a close relationship with Asuka-kun to speak of her name with such familiarity. Uzumaki-san duel with me!''

''You must be as dumb as you sound! Cause you obviously didn't hear a word I said!''

''If you're a duelist, too, then how about we use this duel to settle things man-to-man?''

Settle a man to man conflict by playing a children's card game? God, why is the only way to solve things in this world is by playing a damn children's card game? Save the world! Stop a Ferris wheel from being blown up my a Terrorist! Free the captured souls of innocents! Stop an ancient creature from destroying! It's fucking ridiculous! ''Alright then, since you won't see to listen no other way. So what is the wager.''

''To sum it up, the winner will become Asuka-kun's fiancee!''

Asuka finally entered the conversation. ''N-Now wait a second. What are you...''

'Did he say fiance?'' Momoe asked, the two Obelisk blue first years, and Osiris red first year still on the side line.

''How did that chat turn into something like that?'' Junko asked curiously.

''Fine by me,'' Naruto said shocking the others, including Asuka. Naruto turned to her, ''You trust me...right Asuka-san?''

''It's ok Uzumaki I'm...'' Asuka tried to stand but lost her balance and fell forward, only for Naruto to catch her.

''You've been through a lot. Let me help you.''

''I...ok...

Remembering that day, ''I...Ok...'' she relented.

''Why is it when Aniki becomes involved things always become so Troublesome!"'

''I heard that Syrus!"'

Twenty minutes later both competitors were on the Tennis field with duel disks on their arms.

"Duel!" Ayanokouji shouted.

'Is it really necessary to say Duel to start a duel? You know what...I don't even know why I bother sometimes.''

Naruto: 4000

Ayanokouji: 4000

''My, Asuka-chan, to think those two gentlemen are dueling for you...it's too cool!'' Momoe exclaimed.

''It's stupid...I'm fed up with this...'' Asuka responded annoyed.

''That's what you're saying, but you're still paying attention!'' Junko teased her friend.

''That Tennis Club captain, Mitsuru Ayanokouji... I just want to see the dueling skills that are said to rival Marufuji Ryou's for myself!''

Shou's eyes widened as this proclamation this his face turn solemn. ''Skills that rival my Onii-san's? That flirting club captain...is he that good?'

"It's my turn, Draw!'' Ayanokouji said as he drew his card.

He took a look at it and added it to his hand. He then chose another card in his hand and placed it in one of his spell and trap card zone.

"I place one card face-down and then I activate Power Serve. This card's a gamble card that makes you guess the type of a card I choose. If you get it right nicely, you'll be okay. But if you're wrong, Uzumaki-san, you'll end up taking 1500 points of damage.'

Naruto paused taking a minute to think.

''Man, it's already nerve wracking!'' Shou exclaimed.

''It happens sometimes.'' Momoe states.

'Let's see... the most likely throw away card is usually a monster. Either too weak or takes tributes so they can be discarded for a card effect. Some duelist often have a strategy revolved around specific monsters. Only a truly skilled or expert duelist can win with a low number usage of monsters with a combination of spells or traps and even then both spells and traps are often tend to be used in conjunction. Traps aren't often cast away in comparison to monster and spells in such a way. My first instinct is to go with spell...but the most likely choice is monster. Because he hasn't summoned a monster to his field or any traps I'll most likely think he wouldn't throw away a monster since he hasn't summoned one yet.''

''I'm going with a monster card...'' Naruto said as he saw emotion flickered in Ayanokouji's eyes betraying him. Placing the spell card in the grave and the monster card in his pocket Ayanokouji ended his turn.

''My turn!'' Naruto drew a card. '''I summon Undead Kitusne to the field in attack mode.'' (2100) ''Then I activate the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your face down card.''

Ayanokouji adorned a face of horror as his Trap Card, Receive Ace was destroyed.

''As good as Ryou-san? Tch, the first card is more or less luck and this second one was a result of all your opponents being fools and disregarding your face down card because your field is empty. Is this is your strategy it might seemed incredible to inexperienced duelist, but that's all whom it's good against.'' Costly judgment would have caused any other duelist 3,000 Life points worth of damage. ''I attack directly with my undead Kitsune.'' Ayanokouji braced for impact as the holographic monster bit into his arm?

Naruto: 4000

Ayanokouji: 1900

Ayanokouji was deterred by what in his mind was a small set-back. ''Not bad Uzumaki that makes you worthy. A worthy rival!'' Ayanokouji started laughing haughtily.

'I rather be rivals with Manjoume then this clown.'

''Let's get down to it...with this! Smashing Ace! I flip over one card from the top of my deck, and if that card's a monster...I deal one thousand life points damage to you.'

'Once again a one in three chance. There's no way he could pull off this routine every time unless he stacked his deck.'

As luck would have it Ayanokouji drew a monster card. ''Now, try my Smash Ace on for size!" He said playing a different card, a spell card.

Naruto snorted as he lost a thousand life points.

Naruto:3000

Ayanokouji: 1900

''My turn...Draw!'' Ayanokouji drew a monster. ''I've been waiting for this chance, Uzumaki-san. I summon to the field Service Ace...''

''I activate my face down card Torrential Tribune.''

''Wha...''

''When my opponent summons a monster all monsters on there side of the field is destroyed.''

Ayanokouji didn't even stand a chance. Ever since Naruto activate mystical space typhoon the Obelisk's strategy went out the window. He had no choice but to end his turn.

Naruto attacked Ayanokouji directly with Undead Kitsune and won the duel.

Ayanokouji fell to the ground, shaken. ''I lost...'' Suddenly he started crying. ''H-How could I lose this...'' And he ran off.

''A level comparable to Kaiser Ryo? Whoever started those rumors must have been smoking something strong,'' Naruto murmured.

''Wow...well I guess the rumors weren't exactly accurate,'' Junko said, completely turned off by the fact Ayanokouji cried and ran off like that.

''Way to go Aniki! I knew you could win!"' Shou cheered stopping five feet away from Naruto. Apparently someone was learning.

''You won Uzumaki-san, but that makes you Asuka-san's fiance now huh?'' Momoe acquired.

''That's right...I did win...'' Naruto acknowledge as began walking over to Asuka.

''Aniki...you couldn't...'' Shou stated wide-eyed.

''He's going to confess his love!'' Momoe said all starry-eyed.

''Asuka...despite that being the term of the agreement I want to alter it.'' The Obelisk blue gave Naruto an acquiring look. ''How about you let me take you out on a couple of dates instead? Say about three?''

Asuka couldn't find the words at this. While she was relieved and deep down inside a bit disappointed Naruto didn't seem interested in pursuing an engagement she never really dated much herself. Despite being cold on the outside at times Asuka was as every bit a girl as her boy crazy friends and even if she didn't show it was a bit self conscious about her looks. With every guy int he academy tripping over themselves to date her and Junko and Momoe teasing her about her large assets how could she not be? On the other hand Naruto seemed to look past her looks and treated her like a fellow duelist and not a prize to be won. ''I accept your proposal.''

Momoe and Junko gasped, they couldn't believe Asuka, The Ice Queen, another title she earned because her unwillingness to date accepting a proposal. Though considering who it was neither of them blamed her.

''Alright but I think we should put the ideas on hold until now. I want to wait and put some time into the ideas and I'll let you know when and what type of way you should dress. Come on Syrus. All that dueling and tennis playing made me hungry,'' Naruto said as he picked up his gear and made his way to leave.

Long since given up correcting his Aniki when it came to his name Shou nodded and followed suit.

''Not one word. Either of you!'' Asuka warned as her friends closed their mouths, but that didn't stop the teasing grins on their faces. The duo themselves were a bit jealous noticing the same traits in Naruto their Obelisk Queen was picking up on. The two were going out on dates sure, but that didn't mean they were a couple and that meant the duo, Junko more so then Momoe still had a chance to also attract the interest of the blond before he was off the market.
