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 111: Something, Something, Dark Matter Empire
"Yuhi, I'm hungry!"
"Yuhi, I'm thirsty!"
"Yuhi, let's play!"
"They're so annoying!"
"YUHI~!"
Yuhi plopped his head down in defeat. The Damamu head count was up to four.
Four kids! He had four kids! Quadruplets!
He could be doing this from anywhere on Valvelgear – in fact, he could be doing this from anywhere off the ship – but he preferred to sit on the floor, since he could sink into it in exhaustion if need be.
Not as low to the ground as the Black Angel of Tragedy, the Blackness, or the Cheer Captain of the Dark Cheer Squad had, but…
More importantly, they'd left Pawtner and the barrier around the planet generated by the Outer Space Information Blocker in the secret room under Nyandestar's grandparents' cushions. The information-absorbing contraption had been jamming their communications, preventing them from contacting Earth.
Yuhi put this off long enough.
His thoughts were discombodjulated.
Crap. What just came out of my brain?
Discombobulated.
"CPT! Patch me in to MIK!"
The defiant one-eyed operating system of Valvelgear resorted to her typical delay tactics, producing pesky sounds and casually tossing around the deaths of all those present, till Captain Epoch ordered the curry-fied AI to pitter-patter her droplet-like digits and comply.
For the first few seconds, Yuhi's floating screen showed only static. Then, Yuhi's long-awaited sight: Chupataro, with MIK's insignia on the wall behind him.
"Hey."
"Hey to you too, chupa!"
"Were you just slummin' it at MIK, hopin' I'd call?"
"Chupa's not that pathetic, chupa! And you weren't answering Chupa's calls, chupa!"
"Yeah. Sorry. We've been havin' some technical problems, to put it lightly."
"Technical problems, cabra?"
"Valvelgear's computer is alive now. Or close to it."
"Alive, chupa?"
"Yudias had this space blender thing, and the curry got into it and Phaser's…Ya know what? Never mind! You're the king of writin' ridiculous plotlines! You take a wild guess!"
"Chuchuchu. Okay, chupa. Are you eating okay, chupa?"
"What is that, a joke?"
"No, why, chupa? Chupa heard from Tremolo that Manabu and Nyandestar were sending you a relief package, chupa. Though, nobody seems to have seen them around lately, cabra."
"That's cuz they're here."
"Chupa?"
"Manabu and Nyandestar botched it! They got freeze-dried and were shipped to us instead! Epoch snuck snacks aboard inside her cardboard box, but we're runnin' out and I don't wanna go back to curry bread hell!"
"Chupa wishes Chupa could help you there, chupa," Chupataro laughed through his nostrils.
"Chupataro." Yuhi placed his hand above the intangible display.
"Cabra?"
"I miss you."
Chupataro realized what Yuhi was doing, and moved his robot's hand to the monitor he was speaking to Yuhi through so their hands "touched."
"Chupa misses you too, chupa. Hang in there. Chupa's sure there's other food to eat in space, chupa."
Yuhi saluted with two fingers, not holding his breath.
"Where's Damamu?"
"About that…Ya remember when we were in Kuaidul's space-time and ya said Damamu started the terrible twos?"
"Chupa does, chupa."
"Yes, well…That was just the half of it."
"Chupa?"
"Ugh, I dunno how to explain! Damamus, come here! Time to talk to Chupataro!"
"YAY-HEY-HEY!" The four Damamus flew into frame simultaneously, one in each corner of the screen. "CHUPATARO! CHUPATARO! CHUPATARO! CHUPATARO!"
"Hi Damamu!" Chupataro waved.
Wait.
Four?
Eh?
EHHHH?
"CH-CHUPA? WHY ARE THERE FOUR DAMAMUS, CABRA?"
Yuhi was doing some of that sinking.
"Damamu! Uh, Damamus…What's one plus one, chupa?" Chupataro held the same test Yuhi did to single out the real Damamu from what he thought were fakes.
"No! Chupataro, don't –!"
"It equals WHATEVER~!" they were so loud, Yuhi's ears rang.
"AUHHH!"
"Yuhi! Yuhi, are you okay, chupa?"
"Don't…do that…again…PLEASE!"
"What happened, chupa?"
"Damamu multiplied."
"Woo-hoo-hoo!"
"Woo-hoo-hoo!"
"Woo-hoo-hoo!"
"Woo-hoo-hoo!"
"MULTIPLIED HOW, CHUPA?"
Something, something Dark Matter Empire. Something, something, something, complete.
Yuhi didn't have a real answer.
"It happens whenever we beat a Darkman from the Dark Matter Empire in a Rush Duel."
"The Black Hole Empire, chupa?"
"Not the Black Hole Empire! The Dark Matter Empire!"
No relation to the villain group Meeeg-chan called her foes. Or to the Barber Empire, which Chupataro replaced the Black Hole Empire with when he adapted it for the Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan anime.
Also not to be confused with the Dark Empire, the evil dictatorship run afoul by Shewbahha and the Rebellion.
"This is bad news, Yuhi! We have three more mouths to feed!"
"I know, I know!" Yuhi groaned while scratching his hair with both hands.
Damamu may not have done the math, but Chupataro did. He could work his two jobs to the bone. He'd never pull in enough money to support himself, Yuhi, and four Damamus!
The Damamus hadn't stopped waving back. Although they were four, they were of one "craniac." They were ALL Damamu.
Being a papa was a challenge.
Being a mama was a challenge! Thank the stars it was Nyandestar who Bruyea of the Black Seas chose to be his tenth mommy, and not Yuhi!
Manabu had the inexplicable impulse to volunteer. He could have Bruyea! Proving yet again, regardless of Manabu redeeming himself, his high points were always short-lived, chemi-chemi-chemi-chemi!
"I'll…figure something out. How 'bout over there? Anything happen in Mutsuba Town while we've been gone?"
"Anythinggg?" Chupataro gulped. The ghost of Kuaidul impersonated Yuga and gave Chupa a Darkness card, chupa!
Kawai Teru explored what he could to determine if Chupataro's use of Ewekai Dolly would have any lasting effects. So far, he hadn't found any.
"Nothing Chupa can think of, cabra!" Chupataro lied.
Wasn't it okay? His Deck was getting stale like the packets of curry bread in Valvelgear's pantry.
