Frozen Connection (Future Card Buddyfight)

Chapter 3

"Returned now, have we? How was it?" Shido asked.

Kiri stared at the older teen and ignored his question, walking away to his room.

"I'm guessing you don't have a case or two this time as well for the young master?" the platinum blonde haired boy asked.

Kiri sauntered away casually his masked face displaying a blank expression just like when he left the base.

"Quit ignoring me!" Shido exclaimed, abruptly standing up from his seat.

Kyoya came out of the hallway at the wrong time and stared at the two members of Disaster curiously.

"What's with the commotion?" the boy asked.

Shido whimpered a little and backed up onto his chair, falling back onto his seat.

"N-nothing!"

"Nothing, Master. Just Shido being… Shido. I'm sure you know what I mean," Reaper answered.

"H-hey! At least I'm not the one who hasn't been able to get their job done! You still haven't been able to take a deck case from anyone for the last past week!" Shido exclaimed.

Kiri growled lowly and shot a glare at the boy behind him, returning an emotionless gaze to Gaen Kyoya.

"He's actually correct there, Grim Reaper," Kyoya began, Shido grunting triumphantly. "But he's done more than you have, Magoroku."

Shido remained in his proud position for a second and then fell off his chair in disappointment, his smile beginning to falter and twitch. The boy jumped back onto his feet as shock took over his usual snotty demeanor.

"W-what?! B-but I've been getting my work done lately unlike Mr. Said-Reaper here!" Shido exclaimed.

"Oh? Prove it. Tell the master and I what you have achieved during my time of rest," Kiri said, being the one to smirk at Shido instead now.

"W-well… I taught that weak little idol a thing or two at school, defeating her in a buddyfight…?" the boy asked instead of said.

"I was spying on you there. You clearly lost to her. Two times in a row and in one day."

'Damn it..' the boy muttered. "I-I somewhat managed to take away that Buddy Detective's customized core deck!"

"Show us," Kiri commanded.

Shido froze and looked around the room, twiddling his thumbs together.

"I left it at school.."

"Another lie," the cyan blue haired boy pointed out.

Kyoya's lips suddenly twitched upwards into a smile, making Shido's color drain away from his face.

"Really now? How achieving.. You can earn the title of The Weakest Disaster Force Member of the Year. I can even make a certificate for that new title of yours," Kyoya said, venom dripping from his words.

'Ahh…! H-he's mad!' Shido thought, nervously sweating underneath Kyoya's gaze. "N-no need to flatter me…!"

Shido regretted saying it immediately when he knew he shouldn't be joking around with his master.

"Flattery? This is no flattery, you fool. Get your act together or I'll kick you out of Disaster," Kyoya said sternly, his smile disappearing from his face.

Shido shuttered and gave a small nod to his master as Kiri continued to smirk devilishly at the boy before him.

"I hope I made it clear for you both," the leader said, heading to his gigantic organ. "Mainly you, Shido Magoroku."
