The Fate That Binds The Will(Yu-Gi-Oh! AU Story)

Chapter 49

Yuzu was on her room, thinking about what she heard a while ago.

Yuzu: The king having a twin... I wonder what happened to him... Does Yuya know?

???: Know what?

Yuzu: Eh?

She got up and looked around, but no one was there.

Yuzu: What?

???: Yuzu, look at the window.

Yuzu: Huh?

She did and the only thing she saw was a bird. Her face showed confusion.

Yuzu: A bird?

???: Yuzu, it's me.

Yuzu: I-It talked?!

???: I'm Yuya.

Yuzu: What? Yuya?

She gazed at the little bird, noticing patterns of red and green. The eyes were red, just like the prince's.

Yuzu: Yuya? What happened to you?

Yuya: I'll show you.

He flew inside, then was engulfed by light. Soon after, he turned into his original form.

Yuya: What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?

The girl stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.

Yuzu: H-How did you do that?

Yuya: How, you ask? That's my power.

Yuzu: Power? Your power is to turn into a bird?

Yuya: More than just a bird.

Yuzu: Amazing! I haven't heard of such power!

Yuya: So, about earlier... What is it that I should know?

Yuzu: Eh? "Should I tell him? But, will it be right to do it?"

Yuya: Yuzu?

Yuzu: It was nothing.

He still was a bit doubtful, but decided to drop the subject.

Yuzu: Yuya, why did you turn into a bird and come here? Did something happen?

Yuya: Oh, right. Well...

He was playing with his fingers, making her wonder if he had done something wrong.

Yuya: I skipped my lessons.

Yuzu: Eeh?! You should go back right now!

Yuya: No way. I don't like to fight.

She got surprised. Seeing her like that made Yuya explain what he meant with it. It turned out that the prince didn't like to participate in fights. He would rather resolve conflicts peacefully than with violence.

Yuzu: But what will you do if the other party doesn't want to negociate?

Yuya: I... I don't know...

Yuzu: You should at least learn to defend yourself. Does that sound good?

The prince was staring at the palm of his hand, lost in thought.

Yuya: Yuzu, do you think I am weak because I don't fight?

Yuzu: Uh...

Yuya: Thought so.

Yuzu: N-No! I don't see you as weak in any way!

Yuya: Don't girls like boys that are strong?

She couldn't hold her composure, so she slapped him. Hard. A red mark was left on his cheek.
