Frozen Connection (Future Card Buddyfight)

Chapter 1

"Reaper, where do you think you're going?"

The Grim Reaper stopped walking and turned around by bending his neck back a little to look at the one person calling out to him, an emotionless mask covering his face.

"What's it to you, Shidou?" the boy asked, his voice sounding cold and having no hint of warmth.

"Just curious. You've been returning to base without any core deck cases in hand lately," Shido Magoroku reasoned, smirking interestedly.

Kiri huffed a little and turned around to continue strolling out of base.

"I've got my reasons. And these reasons don't need to be heard by some idiot in the group."

And with that, the boy left and summoned his buddy to activate his buddy skill outside in an open area. A bright cyan blue crescent moon with a few simple designs appeared behind the boy in blue and white and allowed him to fly off from the base area.

"What's with him?" Shido muttered, his smirk dying down to a bored looking glower.

Kiri drifted in the air silently, the wind blowing through his hair as he glided with his buddy, Ice Blade, Joker, by his side.

"Hey, hey, Kiri!" Joker suddenly called.

"What is it, Joker?" the boy grumbled.

"Your face!" the monster exclaimed, laughing hysterically right after.

"Great."

Silence filled up once again until his buddy called out to him once more.

"Hey, hey, Kiri!" the monster called again.

"Now what?" Kiri growled lowly.

"Chicken butt!"

Again, the monster began to cackle like a mad person loudly, earning an annoyed groan from his human buddy. Silence decided to hit the two once more and was cut shorter than last time, AGAIN.

"Hey, hey, Kiri!"

"No…." the boy moaned irritatedly.

"Kiriiii!" Joker called.

"Go away…."

"KIRIIII!"

"SHUT UP!" Kiri ordered, his voice sounding sharper than earlier.

His buddy complied with his order and went quiet a second later, complete silence filling up the air. Kiri looked below him with a scrunch up face, spotting a ghostly pale girl with abnormally dark forest green hair that stuck out on both sides of her head, three locks each. The girl was holding an ice cream cone in her right hand, casually eating it as she strolled down the sidewalk.

'It's that strange girl again..' Kiri thought, lowering himself down to the floor in an alley.

"Why are you so interested in this ghost? It's been nearly a week ever since you started stalking her," Joker asked.

Kiri ignored his buddy and hid behind the wall, pulling his bangs away from his left eye to get a better look.

"Ki-"

"Zip it or melt," the boy hissed at his buddy, his gaze fixated on the girl before him.

Kiri continued to secretly watch the girl pass the alley with her guard lowered down, her blue and white dress flowing freely as she walked. Reaper's eyes widen a little when he saw Gao turn at the corner she was heading to, knowing the two would collide.

'Look out!' the boy whispered loudly, the girl not hearing a single thing.

The pale girl crashed into the self-claimed Mighty Sun Fighter and dropped her ice cream on her cloaked arm that blocked herself from the abrupt impact.

"A-AH, SORRY!" Gao apologized quickly.

"Nice job, Gao. You made her dirty her sleeve," Drum said, pointing at the girl.

The girl was studying the stain on her blue left detached sleeve, the event finally clicking in her head. She then looked at Gao and glared at the boy with piercing icy blue eyes that stored nothing, but ice. Kiri grabbed a fistful of his caped in anger, unaware of his slowly rising up rage for the girl.

'That bastard.'

'Dear Yukino…' her buddy, Ice Blade "Astralux", sighed through his card.

"S-sor-"

"Go buy me another ice cream!" Suguha Yukino exclaimed angrily, taking off her stained sleeve then folding it up and scrunching it up together.

Gao stared at the girl, a little too clueless about her outburst with her ice cream and not her clothes.

"Did you not hear me? Buy me another ice cream!" the girl stomped, pointing over behind her. "Or unless you want me to strangle you or something!"

'She's totally mad about her ice cream…' Drum and Gao whispered in unison.

"Okay, I'll get you another one. Take me to where the ice cream shop is and tell me what flavor you want," Gao told the girl, brightly smiling at the stranger.

Yukino glowered and sharpened up her daggers at the boy, turning away with a 'hmph.' Gao immediately released his breath and silently gasped for air, not knowing that he was holding it in the entire time. The boy began to follow the girl and scratched the back of his head nervously as he looked down and watch her blue boots make contact with the hard pavement. Kiri was now burning up with rage, visible flames surrounding the cold irritated boy.

'I'll- I'll just head back in my card now..' Joker said quietly.

"Joker, stay out of it and hand me your buddy skill," Kiri ordered.

"But you're rage is going to melt me! Just seeing you angered by this makes me want to turn into a puddle of melted ice, or just water!" Joker reasoned.

"Joker!" Kiri exclaimed as his buddy returned to his rightful card.

The boy sighed and suddenly took out a lighter he hid in his right pocket and his buddy's card from his dark core gadget. Reaper had a glare displayed on his face as he raised his hands up, lighting up the lighter in his hand and slowly putting the flame closer to his buddy's card.

'O-O-OKAY! OKAY, OKAY, OKAY! YOU WIN!' Joker exclaimed fearfully through his portal, the card glowing a luminous yellow.

The monster reappeared out of his card and dropped to his knees in fear, water droplets forming on his face.

"I feel like I'm a quarter melted from that wretched lighter," Kiri's buddy said, his voice cracking as he did so.

"Good. Now lend me your buddy skill so we can catch up to them," Kiri ordered, smirking wickedly at his buddy.

The monster hesitantly granted his twisted buddy his wish and activated his skill, lifting them both off the ground and flying towards the direction Gao and the girl left.

Suguha Yukino and the mention of the Moon Warrior(Tsuwamono Tsuki) in a later chapter does not belong to me, but to Shiranai Atsune from Fanfiction.net, Quotev, and Wattpad. The idea of having Kiri following Yukino is also Shiranai's. The mention of the Moon Maiden(Suzuki Yuna) in a later chapter, however, belongs to me.
