Cold As Ice, Strong As Fire (English)

The return of the rose

-Akiza? It's really pretty!

-Oh thanks! what about you?

-My name's Celina, also nice to meet you.

Both kept walking a bit more, in silence until they arrived to a big house

-This is my house, you can come whenever you want to

Akiza opened the front door of her house and left the amount of boxes she was carrying behind the door, then asked celina to give her the remaining boxes.

-Want to eat something? -Akiza asked

-Thank you very much, but I've already eaten

-Oh, that's fine, I would've loved to talk to you more.

Akiza searched for something inside her purse when a duel disk fell from it, it was a red mechanical duel disk, which meant that it was old.

Akiza quickly grabbed it and gave celina 5 coins

-Oh no! you don't have to pay me

-As a thank you

Akiza smiled at her and Celina couldn't help but to accept the money, she returned the smile and said thanks.

She kept walking around the streets and even bought some cards she wanted for her collection, it was 4:28 p.m when she remebered that academia was giving sanwiches as lunch because it was wednesday, so she returned quickly and ran towards the cafeteria where she found Yuri.

-So Rin and Yugo...? -He asked

-Yeah, they're fine -Celina bit her food excited- Y'know, marriage.

Sora and Denisse arrived a few minutes later, Sandwich wednesday was the best thing the academia offered during the weeks, some students even waited in the front door hours before the cafeteria opened.

-Wow, you arrived earlier than I expected -Denisse mentioned as 

he sat in front of Yuri

-Well, Declan saw a guy that looked like us and asked if we knew him -Yuri explained with little interest.

-Actually he asked if we became any closer, you never pay attention... how did you even pass elementary? -Celina asked before biting her fourth sandwich

-What makes you think I passed? -Yuri winked+++++++++++++++++++++++Declan told Rio and Shay to wait inside LDS while they waited for Yuto to arrive, Declan guided them to a waiting room with food and drinks, not even shay knew about this place, something big was about to happen.

Yuto quickly headed towards LDS the moment his friend told him that a barian empress was in the standard dimension, in no time, the rebel was in front of the building, but instead of knocking on the door like a normal person, he climbed to the roof and entered the room Declan was in trough the window.

-You know you can knock right?

-Where's Shay?

Yuto asked immediately, even though he didn't need to wear his mask and googles any more, he decided to wear them that day.

Declan sighed- follow me...

Both entered an elevator, Declan pressed a button which would take them to the floor 17 and soon they had arrived.

The doors opened and the first thing Yuto saw was Rio laughing with Shay, they both seemed happy... he couldn't avoid it, he felt jealous and happy at the same time, he had always liked to see Shay smiling.

-Your boyfriend is here -Declan said as he adjusted his glasses

-You have a boyfriend!? why didn't you tell me? -Rio turned to look at Yuto and then at Shay

Yuto blushed under his mask, that day he was thinking about wearing it to hide his identity, he was glad he decided to wear it.

-Um... No, we're... just friends -Shay stared at the ground and whispered- At least for now...

Yuto took a deep breath and walked closer to Rio, he stood in front of her and examined her cautiously.The stories, the legends and old pictures, would never be accurate about how pretty she was. Rio was indeed the barian empress Marin, and somehow... she had travelled through time.
