| - Following the events from last night, Reiji woke up sluggishly again. This time, with very little of his feelings of heartbreak taking into account of his present apathetic state. Slowly opening his eyes and perking up his ears a bit, he could hear the sound of igniting flame and sizzling oil. Thinking that someone might have entered his apartment, Reiji gathered himself up and stormed out of his room. Reiji: HEY! WHO ARE YOU?! He got no answer. He proceeded to the kitchen and to his surprise, he sees his companion from the depths of hell whipping up an American-style Breakfast for him. This sent Reiji feelings of nostalgia. Shahal: Why good morning to ya Raging Jade! Reiji: Just what the heck do you think you're doing? Shahal: I'm making you breakfast! Don't worry, I am not going to poison you. It's too early for that. Reiji: No, that's not it. Why of all the darn things would you make Bacon and Eggs for a Japanese man's breakfast? Shahal: I figured that you might like these. Besides, your fridge is stocked up with a heckload of them! Reiji walked out of the kitchen and sat out in his couch. Reiji: Forget it, I'm not hungry. Shahal: Do I have to force feed you? Reiji: I SAID I'M NOT HUNGRY! Shahal: Fine. But if your stomach grumbles, go eat your couch okay? Reiji: Hmph. You don't know anything! Shahal: I know why. Reiji stood from his couch and returned to the kitchen. He glared at Shahal. Reiji: What do you know? Shahal: It's just that I don't care. Reiji: Why wouldn't you? Shahal: Why should I? While the two throw Rhetoric questions at each other, the doorbell rang. Reiji: I'll get back to you later, wise guy. I gotta get the door. Shahal: Sureee, Mr. Hunger Strike. Whatever floats your Nice Boat. Reiji: Lame meme! Shahal: Derp. Reiji opened the door but no one was outside. Just as when he was about to return to the kitchen, a gust of wind passed through him. Reiji: What the... A shadow crept upon him and covered his eyes. Zack: Booya! Reiji: What the heck, Zack?! Zack: Heeeey Rage! It was actually his newfound Canadian friend. Reiji: Too much addiction to ninja anime? Zack: HEY! Reiji: Or... Zack: Just because I'm Foreigner and I like to act the ninja part, it doesn't mean that I watch ninja anime! Reiji: Sorry dude, kinda having something going on right now. Zack: Ohhh what is that? Zack notices the breakfast that Shahal had prepared for Reiji. He dashed into the dining table and giddily stared at the food. Zack: Bacon and Eggs...oh my god...seriously dude, you did this? Reiji: I didn't do that. Zack: Then who did? Shahal rolled over to Zack's side. Shahal: I did. Zack: Woah...so are you...Reiji's Bakugan? Nice work on the food btw. Can I have it? Shahal: Not all at once. Zack: Teehee. Shahal: First up, I am Shahal. Second, I am not "Reiji's" Bakugan. Third, you can have it. Show that emo kid what it means to starve to death. Reiji: I think I'd moreover die if I eat your food. Zack: Thanks, man. Bon apetit! Zack popped one of the bacon strips into his mouth. Reiji: NOOOOOOOO!!! Zack: Ngh!! Reiji: Huh, Zack? Zack: *cough* Rage dude... Reiji: Hey, are you okay? Zack: The food was good but you don't have to yell at me like that! Shahal: So much for implying that I'll kill him, wise guy. Look, you nearly choked him to death. Reiji: I'm karate chopping him to loosen it out! Zack: I'll be fine...I'm okay...just...just let me eat. Shahal: Let's leave him alone. Reiji: Right. We go back to my room and we talk things out. Zack: I'll be here eating your stuff. Reiji: Whatever, Zack. Do what you want. Zack: Okay pumpkin. Reiji: Just DON'T Break any of the dishes. Zack: Meep. Reiji and Shahal went to the former's room to talk stuff up. Shahal: So, care to explain it to me now, Emo kid? Reiji: Well, Bacon and Eggs is...what...she...she... Shahal: Uhuh... Reiji: What she used to prepare for me since we were kids. Shahal: What she? Reiji: My ex-girlfriend. An American lady. Shahal: You got some Gaijin hotstuff going on, huh? Reiji: I used to but...now I...argh, it's hard to let it out. Shahal: Okay so let me get this. You two broke up? Reiji: (So straightforward!) Shahal: Looks like I nailed it. Reiji: Yeah, fine. Shahal: Then you stocked up so many American frozen goods so that you would always remember her? Reiji: But it hurts so much that I can't even eat any of the bacon anymore. Shahal: Then I'll have it. Reiji: Go ahead. I don't care. It means nothing to me without her spoonfeeding it to me. Childish but at least we were both happy. Shahal: Tsk...tsk...whatever. I'm going back downstairs and see what ninja boy is doing. Reiji: He's not a ninja. Shahal: I think he is. See his grand entrance? Only a real ninja following the ways of the Feudal Era would be able to do that! Reiji: I know but...it could have been a coincidence. Shahal: Maybe or maybe not. Shahal went out of Reiji's room and back to the kitchen. Looking back, Shahal sees Zack having fallen asleep in Reiji's couch. Shahal: (This kid's got some extracurricular activities going on. Busted to the gut all night as it appears so.) Shahal went to the kitchen afterwards and noticed the plates that needed to be washed. Shahal: Haaad to be done. Emo kid won't do anything but sulk all day. He's welcome to but I got bigger fish to fry. Zack cracked an eye open and peeked at the Pyrus Bakugan whose busy washing the plates. Zack: (I could not be mistaken. That Bakugan must be the messenger of Hell). Zack sneaks out of the apartment and silently peeked into the window of Reiji's room. Zack: Poor guy. Reiji: ............ Zack: Time to lift his spirits up. Zack took a deep breath and channelled his energy throughout the window pane. Zack: SUISEIJIN! And Zack went through the clear glass window. Reiji: WHAT IN PLANET NEMESIS IS..........?! Zack: Surprised? Reiji: I am so gonna kill you for that, Zack!! Zack: Owww! Wait man, I was just trying to cheer you up! Reiji: Futile effort! Shahal: Will you two cut it out? You're gonna break the ceiling for crying out loud like a mandragora! While the two friends wrestled each other and therefore making the apartment unit lively in the wee hours of daylight, it was the direct opposite in the gothic mansion owned by the Kamiya family. Yuri, the gothic clad man of melancholic beauty walks into a room with an engraved white door. He carries a bottle of what appears to be Blood. Yuri: Are you thirsty...my dear princess? A young and beautiful girl sitting by her bedside looks at him with sunken eyes. Tiny rays of the sun enters the room and giving it an eerie glow. Yuri: It is going to be fine, dear Marie. Marie: Is this...? Yuri: Type AB. Marie: I do not like it. Yuri: Pardon? Marie: I do not want to be alone. The girl proceeds to shiver and in a matter of seconds, she lies down and loses herself. Marie: They are going to hurt me again...they... Yuri: No one is going to hurt you. Marie: It hurts...it really does. Yuri: I am here to protect you. Marie: You will? Yuri: Yes, dear princess. I will protect you from your own kind that refused to love you. Marie: Please do. Yuri: It is a covenant between you and I. Never to be broken...never to be swayed. The girl sat back and regained her mood. She grabbed for her cards on top of her dresser and looked at her sworn protector with eagerness. Marie: I want to... Yuri: Do you want to play? Marie: Yes, I really do. Yuri: Very well then. Yuri stood from the girl's bedside and stretched his arms. He closes his eyes and the surroundings of the room changed into an empty forest covered in a thick blanket of snow. Marie: This forest... Yuri: I read your heart...and it showed me this place. Marie: It is... Yuri: Apparently, you have troubles growing trees anew. Hence, this forest remains silent. Void of life and covered in pure white snow. Marie: Trees...? Yuri: Manifestation of Happy memories rooted into your heart and branching out into those who you love. Marie: They left me... Yuri: I am here for you. Marie: Do you...? Yuri: Shall we? Marie: Yes. The girl threw a coin and it showed heads. Yuri: Well then, let us use up those Gate Cards. Marie: The Gate Cards are...gateways... Yuri: Release them. Marie: Darkus Diva Belize...stand. Yuri: Take a card. Marie: Here. Yuri: It is my turn. Marie: Please do not go easy on me... Yuri: Haos Lucid Automaton, stand. Marie: I am not used to being embraced by...remorse... Yuri: Princess? Marie: I can still feel it...it weaves itself anew... Yuri: Please enjoy our battle. Ignore such feelings... Marie: I want to...forget...but I can not... To be continued in the next chapter.
