"So, uhh, what's your name?" Gao asked awkwardly, Kiri listening intently to the conversation.
"It's rude to ask someone for their name before giving your own to that person," the girl sneered.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Mikado Gao. This is my buddy-"
"Drum Bunker Dragon. I can see that, you idiot," the heartless girl cut in.
'What a nice aura coming from her,' Kiri noted, seeing how she was talking rudely to his past 'friend' and cutting him off every time.
"So, what's you-"
"The shop is over there. Now, go get me a vanilla ice cream. ON THE DOUBLE!" the girl ordered, shooting glares at the two.
"Hey, Bossy! You still never told us your name!" Drum exclaimed.
Yukino sharpened her glare at the red dragon, making Gao and Drum flinch under her gaze.
"How about this.. I'll go get you your vanilla ice cream that I owe you and then we share some information with each other?" Gao suggested.
The girl didn't budge or answer and waited for the boy to just hurry up and get her requested dessert, her feet planted firmly on the floor.
"I'll just take that as a yes.." Gao said awkwardly, heading into the ice cream shop.
The girl sighed to herself and involuntarily checked for the time on her phone, sitting down on a bench near the ice cream shop.
'I wasted so much time doing this. Whatever, it's not like I'm heading back home for that jerk,' Yukino thought, her buddy sighing to himself through his card.
Kiri waited until Gao fully disappeared into the shop and took the chance to land on the ground and communicate with the girl. The girl looked up in front of her to see the Reaper himself approach her from above, her lips slightly parted and her eyes softened.
"Hello there," Kiri began.
The boy set his right hand up to his chest and took a small step back with his left foot to bow down gracefully after his landing. The Grim Reaper had a smirk played on his face as the girl stared at him curiously.
"As you may know, I'm the Grim Reaper. I'm not here to take away your buddy or your deck case, so no need to worry your pretty little face off," the boy said, standing back up straight. "What's your name, Miss?"
The girl was intrigued by the Reaper's violet eye and the blue and white clothes he wore, seeing how well it fit and matched with him. The girl suddenly snapped out of her little fantasy world and glared a bit at the smirking boy.
'Playing undeniably hard to get, huh?' the boy whispered, lowering his eyelid. "I'll find out your name sooner or later. There was no point for me in asking."
The boy turned around and lifted himself off the floor slightly, looking behind him for a second.
"Until then, we'll meet again," the boy said, his voice sounding a little too cold for his liking towards the girl. 'You will be mine.'
The boy flew off into the sky once again and went out of sight from the girl, making her lower her guard once again. Gao exited the ice cream shop with the requested frozen dessert in hand right after the Reaper disappeared.
"Sorry, did I take too long?" Gao asked, walking over to the girl.
The girl was still staring at the sky where Kiri disappeared to, not noticing Gao beside her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Gao asked, setting his hand onto her bare shoulder.
Yukino flinched and turned around quickly, her hair covering her face. Since she didn't have any bangs, the girl had to pull the locks of her hair backwards to allow it droop back to its original place.
"Dandy. Just great," she replied, taking the ice cream cone away from Gao.
"So…. Your name?" Drum brought up, a little irritated.
"Yukino. Suguha Yukino," Yukino replied, continuing to lick the ice cream little by little. "Everyone calls me the Ice Queen at school."
The name clicked into Gao's head, remembering the familiar name mentioned more than a hundred times to him to get it drilled into his brain.
"Ah, I think I heard of that title somewhere. The girl who has the ability to infatuate and make any boy fall for her in school," Gao recalled.
Yukino shrugged and finished off her ice cream quickly before it melted in her hand.
"You can say that. But I'm also hated by the girls in school, a mortal enemy to all female in the academy."
Kiri was listening in a certain distant cringing at the voice of Gao whenever her spoke to Yukino casually.
'Yukino, huh. A beautiful name to fit, indeed, an Ice Queen,' the boy said to himself. 'Reminds me of that Moon Maiden and Moon Warrior though.'
The boy cringed at the two females he mentioned, knowing both were against the Disaster Force just like Gao. Being against the group also meant being against him.
'Maybe Yukino is different, unlike those two moon damsels,' the boy said, hissing out the words 'moon damsels'.
"Say, Gao, right? You're practically unbeatable, correct? Or have you ever lost a buddyfight match?" Yukino asked, an idea popping into her head.
"Well, no, I guess. Why?" Gao replied, Kiri suddenly shooting up from his relaxed position, curiously.
"Teach me how to fight."
"What?" Gao asked.
"WHAT?!" Kiri asked loudly from his distant.
"That's right, teach me," Yukino ordered instead of asked.
"Mikado-style Aiki-jujutsu?" Gao asked idiotically.
'Wait, what?' Yukino ask quietly. "No!"
"Errr….. Buddyfighting?"
'That clueless idiot. She could've asked me instead of him!' Kiri furiously told his buddy.
'You're too obsessed over this 'Yukino' girl,' Joker told his buddy.
'Shut up damn it!'
"Yes, buddyfighting! What else is there to teach besides that Aiki-jujutsu thing?" Yukino asked irritably.
"Math? Science? PE? His-"
"NO, NO, NO, NOOO, YOU LION HEAD!"
"My bad…" Gao said awkwardly. "Hmm.. Meet up with me tomorrow at 'Castle' card shop at 5 PM then."
"Fine," the girl accepted irritably.
'And we'll be there too,' Kiri muttered, creating a dark portal from his case and returning back to base.
