My Whirlwind High School Romance

Group A concludes

Jesse's PoV

"Cyber end Dragon, finish him off with strident blast!" Zane exclaimed as my life points reached zero.

Damnit! That's it for me, I was knocked out of the tournament. I let out a huge sigh as Zane patted my back. It was a good match though. "Chin up," he laughed. "You got beat by the champion after all."

We laughed for a bit and next thing I knew Jaden was hanging off my shoulders. I turned and he gave me a kiss. "You're still my hero!" He giggled cutely. "Lets go cheer Emiko on!"

We all went to the other side of the hall to watch Emiko. Everything seemed. Normal for the time being, nothing abnormal just your regular duel.

"Oh look a crowd," David laughed as something black appeared from his ear ring.

"What the-?" I gasped grabbing hold of Jaden's hand. "Jay stay close to me."

I looked over and saw Zane unable to move. He looked as if he tried to speak but had no luck. "Welcome to a shadow game." David laughed evilly. "Looks like your little friends are here to watch. Jaden this is what will become of your duel with Reggie soon enough."

"Leave them alone," Emiko growled. "They have nothing to do with this!"

"But they have everything to do with this!" David explained. What did he mean? "Jesse and Jaden contain 2 very strong duel spirits which I require for my master. There are others in the school and the duels here have provided me enough information to know where each of them are. Winning this tournament was merely a means to the end."

"Be quiet," Emiko smirked. I looked at her face. It had completely changed. Here eyes empty as if no one was there. "I've been through worse. So Do your worst David. I suspect you know the rules for losing a shadow duel."

"It won't be my soul to be offered but yours," David exclaimed as he commanded Saturn to attack Emiko's Buster Blader.

"Reverse card open!" Emiko declared. "Karma of the destruction sword master, I remove 3 cards of the same type from your graveyard then buster blader gains 500 attack for each card."

"That's still not enough," David laughed. Then he noticed Emiko's other reverse card attack. DNA transplant! This meant all of David monster now became dragon types and with 4 dragons now on the field buster blader gained 2000 attack points.

"Game over," she smirked. She walked over as David fell to his knees. The smirk on her face never changed as the shadow disappeared. "Be thankful, you felt no pain as you felt no fear. However your soul won't be spared from the shadows."

David screamed as the shadows dove into his chest as he fell unconscious. I watched as Emiko feel backwards onto the floor herself.

Without warning Ms Hibiki came barging onto the field. She grabbed Jaden by the arm as he tried to approach Emiko. "You are not to move you hear," she ordered he face, if looks could kill you'd most certainly be dead. "Do not go near them." She turned her attention to everyone else. "Group A will conclude once we confirm the students are well. If Emiko is unable to duel Zane will be declared the winner. In the meantime, group B will hold their duels to determine the winner."

We watched as two paramedics came and took David away on a stretcher. Ms Hibiki ordered Zane to take Emiko to the nurses office to rest in the meantime. "Ms Hibiki what's going on?" I asked.

"Midori does this have to do with Koyo?" Jaden asked. His voice was shaky and his hand went limp in mine.

Ms Hibiki placed her hands and Jaden's shoulders. "You don't need to worry about that," she said sternly. "You are in group B so focus on preparing for your upcoming duels. Anderson, you will accompany me for a moment."

I gulped as I turned to follow her but someone was stopping me. Jaden looked guilty for some reason. I kissed his forehead assuring him everything will be okay.
