Yu-Gi-Oh: Musical Beginnings

Chapter 48 Aftermath

Lo Fang: Auggggghhhhh!

Lo fang dramatically fell onto her back landing a couple of feet from where she was "Attacked." She now lay on the ground defeated a humiliated like a wolf that had gotten fur trapped in a hunters weave. Her shorts miraculously had fallen down somehow Exposing about half of her purple underwear to some of the audience.

*Cheering*
But regardless of that, Everyone cheered and clapped for the two awesome females. Their performances had been exponential and really demonstrated the grandiose nature that this tournament would convey for the rest of it's time.

Reishi meanwhile, for some strange reason felt good about the results. She hadn't initially wanted to participate in such a frivolous idea such as this tournament. but she now felt "Blissful.", Like having this duel was fun and good experience for her.

-And with that hope in her heart, she walked over to her virtuous but vengeful opponent - lo fang. She was still sulking on the ground.
Reishi courageously offered her hand.

Reishi: Hey lo fang.

Lo fang: Dammit....

Lo fang pulled her shorts up and got up on her own. She looked dismayed at her loss and was trying not to show it but to no avail.

Lo fang: I can't believe that I lost to you of all people.....

Reishi: What can I say? I guess I have that "muto luck."

Lo fang: Gloating at me? Really? After such an intense duel?

Lo fang angrily said.

Reishi: Heh. Sorry. I just had so much fun in this duel!

Lo Fang: Fun? This is fun to you? This is a way of life for me and because of this travesty, I'm going to be ridiculed for the rest of my school

Reishi: Well yeah. It's a game, iit's meant to played for fun.

Lo fang: This is a way of life for me and because of this travesty, I'm going to be ridiculed for the rest of my school days because of YOU!

she exclaimed putting her finger in reishi's face.

Reishi: See. That's your problem.

Lo fang: huh?

Reishi: You always blame other people for your own problems instead facing them on your own.

Lo fang: .....

Reishi: You chose to pull out that mace and strike hattori. Not me. -And yet you still blame me.

Lo fang: ....

Reishi: Lo fang. You'll never grow as a person if you continue this line of thought down. You'll just be the same vengeful wench your entire life.

Reishi soliloquy spat out the truth of the whole matter. It was so true that lo fang looked teary eyed as she heard reishi decipher her personality. With tears in her eyes and doubt in her heart, lo fang ran away from reishi mor even staying for the closing remark of the duel.

Reishi: .... Damn.

Reishi felt bad for lo danb, but at the same time realized she had only spoken the truth.

The Lady from before the match appeared again and placed right next to reishi.

Lady: Reishi muto is the winner of this duel! Domino city academy will go on to the next set!

*cheering*
Reishi raised her hand to the sky, Waving at the adoring audience and crowd that so blissfully adored her back now. The duel had saved her school from elimantion from the tournament and now had given a new ambition - To find a duet and stride to victory.

Lady: Thank you all for coming! We appreciate you supporting our youth!

Outside of the Sanctuary

With the duel now over and done with everyone left the arena of the magnificent sanctuary. It was about 12:00 or Noon at the time, With the sun in full shine and the heat from it sparing no one. White heaven-bound birds were as brilliant rays from wind-dappled sea-water; their brightness amid otherwise infinite blue, gliding as souls.
The outside of the was packed full of students,teachers and all sorts of observers talking about the competition and various other things.

Reishi was waiting by a corner out of site, in order not to draw attention to herself. She wanted to hand shima back the RX-5 before leaving.

Just like she had hoped her friend approached her in glee.
Shima had gratious smile on her face and lump in her heart.

Shima: Well! Well ! Well! If it isn't miss show-stopper herself!

Shima playfully said.

Reishi: heh. I try.

Shima: - And here I thought you were going to throw the match! But nooooo? You had to show us all up by winning!

She exclaimed.

Reishi:- Wait. Shima, You were the one who told me to throw the match in the first place!

Reishi exclaimed as she pointed out shima's hypocrisy.

Shima: Well, yeah. But I didn't think you would actually consider it...

Reishi: Well I did for a Moment until I thought about you.

Shima: E-Eh? *Blushing* Me...?

Reishi: No N-No! Not like that! I-I-I Just .... Oh crap.

Both of their faces were as red as a hagarushi beet. It was very awkward and the talk had a tension to it that reishi wanted to disappear quickly

Reishi: I-I meant that I had thought about all the work you did on RX-5! And how it would be a waste to just throw the match like that with all the work you did!

She explained.

Shima: O-Oh. That's thoughtful of you! But you really didn't need to do that for me.

Reishi: It was no problem, Besides I wouldn't want to lose to someone like lo fang anyway.

Shima: Ha.

Shima: So, What was up with you two anyway. It seemed like she knew you?

Shima asked .

Reishi: *Sigh* Might wanna sit down for this one.

-10 minutes of explaining later-

Reishi: -And that's how hattori almost got her head bashed in by a mace.

Shima: Wow. I dont know who was worse in that situation. Hattori for being an idiot or Lo fang for being a sadistic bitch.

Shima said as she packed up The RX-5 in her case.

Reishi: The worst part is that apparently this wasn't her first time beating hattori up.

Shima: Unbelievable Some people are.

Shima Then lifted up her case filled with the RX-5 and prepared to say her goodbyes to reishi.

Shima: Alright then Reishi, I wish I could stay and chat but I have to get home and work on this puppy.

Shima slapped the case sensually.

Shima: -I learned alot from watching you dueling and I think i can make the RX-5 even better for next time.

Reishi: Thanks shima, Let me tell you That duel disk really saved me back there.
Especially with that AI you put on the duel disk

Shima: ...?

Shima paused and looked at reishi, Strangely. her head titled to the side and in deep thought.
-And then her face turned to worry and estrangement.

Shima: Ai...?

Reishi: What's wrong shima...?

Shima: Um reishi... how do I put this? I never put an AI on the duel disk....
