Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.

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 153: Tomorrow Never Dies

"Zuwijo?" Dinois asked, as Mitsuko lifted the roof off the next house.

"NOT HERE!"

Mitsuko returned the roof to where it had been. "Ah. Sorry, Yuhi-san."

"Jeez…" Yuhi slammed his head back onto the floor.

"Chuchuchu!"

"Stop laughin', coyote bastard."

As far as Yuhi could tell from opening one eye, Chupataro was grinning. His legs were wrapped around Yuhi's chest and his front claws were curved around Yuhi's shoulders, and he jumped up from below to try to bite Yuhi's cheek.

Yuhi dodged and kissed him instead.

"Chupa missed you, chupa."

"You better have!" Yuhi turned them sideways so Chupataro's spikes wouldn't be in the way.

This was the Yuhi he remembered.

"I owe you an apology."

"For what, chupa?"

"Ya came after me through Time Machine after all. I was mad ya weren't with Yudias and the others."

"Well, Damamu and Asaka did. Everyone else just followed, cabra."

Most of Mutsuba Town – save the Ryugu siblings and Shewbahha – had been dumped in the Sengoku Era by Time Machine, on the beach Yuhi was duelling Oka Sur Ferko.

"Chupataro…" Yuhi stroked Chupataro's cheek.

"Chu?"

He closed his eyes and they kissed again, both of them relieved he wasn't Otes anymore. Relieved they were alone again. Catching up.

"Yuhi? Where are you, Yuhi?" Yuamu called.

All the houses looked alike.

Her brother was exasperated. Chupataro would've usually kept laughing at him, but he was avoiding Yuamu as well.

"Oh, so this is where you were." She took the considerate but no less invasive action of using the door. "Can we talk? Please, Chupataro?"

Trepidation. Betrayal. Distrust.

"Don't be gone too long." Yuhi decided for him.

"CHUPA?"

Yuamu walked and Chupataro ran on all fours in silence for several minutes before she broke it. "About what I did when I was the Dark Meister…"

"You're still the Dark Meister, aren't you, chupa? Yuhi said you found your Darkmen, cabra."

"Yeah…Though some of them lost the wisdom they gained. And their memories of me."

Chupataro ignored that part. "And now you have Kuyamuya back. Yuhi…Your Darkmen…Why, everything just worked out for you, didn't it, chupa?"

Everything was Yuamu's fault, yet she'd faced no consequences. She'd hurt Damamu, and yet…

"Woo-ho-hoy! Chupataro, look, look! It's wild boar!"

As the Princess of Beasts, Epoch would've had a fit if she saw Damamu eating wild boar meat off the bone.

In this and Yuamu's mistreatment, Damamu may have been blithely laid back. Chupataro wasn't overlooking what Yuamu had done though. Advocates for Yuamu could give him flak for singling her out when Zuwijo didn't get enough for doing essentially the same thing. He didn't care. Zuwijo wasn't family. Zuwijo wasn't –

"I'm sorry."

Bias because of his parents abandoning him overwhelmed him. "You can't just say you're sorry, chupa!"

"I wanted you to hear it anyway. I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry for the trouble I put Yuhi and Damamu through."

"Me? Was I troubled?" Damamu was stupidly drawing a blank.

"If I hadn't poured everything into helping Yuga, none of this…"

"None of this would've happened if Yuga hadn't insisted on fixing everything himself and hiding, cabra!"

"Yuga? Hide?"

"You, what, is that shocking? Yuga hiding? Yuga running away from his problems, is that shocking? The guy avoids everything, chupa!"

"O-okay, he doesn't run away from the problems. He just dips out of having the explanation."

Nothing had changed.

Yuamu was still the Dark Meister. She still had her Darkmen.

Everything she'd sacrificed she'd gotten back.

She'd…

"Chupataro." Yuhi crossed his arms and bracers.

"Ah! It's Yuhi!" Damamu cheered.

"Can ya just forgive Yuamu already? Bein' a broken record, but that's how we roll."

"Chupa? Chu-chu-chu-chupa?"

"Not that I think what Yuamu did was justified, but…" Yuhi kicked the sand.

Yuamu sweatdropped. Her twin senses were tingling. Yuhi and Chupataro overcame a total loss of identity and a time leap. She was being an imposition.

Every second Chupataro spent spurning his kinda sorta sister-in-law was a second not spent with Yuhi.

"Cabraaa…Chupa…forgives you. Yuamu."

Not Anesan. Yuamu.

Yuamu was fine for now.

The agonizing silence was once more broken by an Ohdo.

"Damamu, is that –? Don't eat food someone offered at a shrine!"

"But they left it for the Monk Who Can't Wait Until Tomorrow, Yuhi! That's me! I…can't wait until tomorrow! Hahaha!"

"I already ate part of Yuna's share," Yuamu reminded him.

"Of all the bad influences on Damamu, now I have Hasshaku-sama to deal with?"

"Don't overthink it, chupa."

"No, no. I'm worryin' myself while I talk!"

"You're sweating less than Kappa-kun, at least."

Ferko was swooning, having finally met a real kappa.

"I doubt it." Asaka joined them. "Yuhi wasn't present for the cringe that was the kappa cosplaying as Yuamu."

"Kawai dressed up as Yuamu?" Yuhi thanked the rock shaped like Damamu's head he hadn't sampled the boar, and therefore didn't have food in his stomach to throw back up.

"What are you –? You crossdress as Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan!" Bochi arfed.

"Yuhi's cute, chupa!"

"He's cute!" Ferko watched Kawai repair the Velgearian armada. "Popopopo~!"

"Good gravy, this is gonna get spicy!" Tazaki-san's side-splitting remark confirmed the elderly were in fact big gossips.

Asaka pulled Yuamu aside. "I got the kappa to cough up he stole a set of clothes from the cleaning you dropped off at his laundromat."

"I know. As soon as Kuyamuya showed me, I realized where my spare outfit went."

"When you're all finished arguing over who's cute and who's not cute, perhaps we can acknowledge the oxidized potassium we have on our hands!"

Everybody blinked towards Manabu.

"Yudias, people! What's going on with Yudias? The uncontrollable bursts of anger! Ritual Summoning! Am I the only one screaming, 'Hey, hey, hey, we might have a problem here'?"

"Unless Zuwijo talks Yudias back down to earth…" Yuhi floated the possibility.

"I don't think so. I think he likes the new Yudias," Yuamu admitted.

"Come…Come quick!" Manya entered the scene.

"What is it?" Asaka demanded. "Report!"

"Otei Usu is –! We found Otei Usu!"

"What? Otei Usu?"

Ranran and Tenten were goaded into a Tag Duel. Against the escaped prisoner and –

"OTS! Hm? What was I supposed to look like? Huh?"

Kaiz…

Dohl.

WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT IS HAPPENING? THIS IS THE BEST WE CAN COME UP WITH? WE HAVE ALL THESE AMAZING DUELISTS, AND THE BEST WE CAN COME UP WITH IS THE NANAHOSHIS? WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Like, literally. Everyone is here!

Otei Usu.

Otes.

This man deserves no sympathy. He's a horrible person, alien, whatever the hell he is at this point.
