Yu-Gi-Oh! Hearts of Darkness *Reboot* [IC/PG-13/Started/Not Accepting]

[Kohakuchan19]

[color=#000080][b]"Sure, lets see if we can't find that game. It's the one that's kind of like Bubble Bobble right? but with snowmen?"[/b][/color] Seth offered his hand to Emily [color=#000080][b]"Not that I'm trying to flirt or anything, but it might be a good idea to hold hands and stay close.. It's kind of crowded here tonight."[/b][/color]

Waiting for Emily's Response, Seth could not help but think to himself.

[color=#000080][b]"[/b][i]I Really hope I'm not coming on too strong.. She's cute and I like her and all.. but I'm sure she's still got Leon on the brain. I'm probably no good for her anyway.."[/i][/color]

As he was thinking about this, he was blushing a bit, and for that moment had somewhat of a hard time maintaining eye contact with Emily. He literally just met this girl... what was he thinking? Did Amber and Leon feel this way too? Or was there some sort of traumatic event that took place which may have brought them so close? Well.. he hoped that it would never have to come to that just to find his significant other.. if there was one for him at all.

[AkatsukiPride!]

Blazey sorta-kinda grinned when Amber led her straight to the D.D.R. Machine inside of the arcade.[i]Yay! No, maybe if I can actually do good this time... [/i]She chuckled to herself. She had never been too good at dancing, but she sort of doubted Amber was much better. She climbed up onto the machine. "Sure," she said, "I'll play you in this." She shuffled around in her pocket and found nothing, remembering she never bought tokens. "Um...Do you have any tokens left over?" Blazey asked Amber. "If not, I'll go get some."

Lady Heat and Ice Edge bowed to Sonya. [color=#ff8c00]"Lovely to meet you, Miss Sonya." [/color][color=#40e0d0]"Yeah!" [/color]Lady Heat smiled. [color=#ff8c00]"[/color][color=#ff8c00]The other heroes are kind of shy. I'm sure everyone would like them, however." [/color]Ice Edge nodded again and again. "Yep! They're cool guys. Lady Heat began to pace around, watching the gang playing arcade games. She disapprovingly shook her head at Leon's game of Mortal Kombat. [color=#ff8c00]"When did games get so violent?" [/color]​she asked no one in particular. She remembered invisibly watching over the twins play countless hours of Sonic the Hedgehog games when they were younger. [i][color=#ff8c00]I'm glad they didn't grow up with [/color][/i][color=#ff8c00]that[i] game, [/i][/color]she thought

On the other side of the room, a leathery demonic warrior watched over Lady Heat with a grim expression, slowly and silently walking over to her. [color=#add8e6]"Ready or not, [i]here I come,[/i]" [/color]he said to himself.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Um, [i]no,[/i]" IV said simply to James. "I don't have to attack whatsoever. I just have to wait for you to make a stupid mistake." He flipped up his face-down. "This trap card is called Metal Reflect Slime. Its also a monster. With three-thousand defense." He grinned. "It summons itself in face-up defense mode, blocking your attack. And since it has more than 2000 more defense than you Kitten's attack, that saps the end of your life points. I hate to end a duel on the defensive, but, [i]boom."[/i] A giant wall of iron slime spring up from the ground, then calming down and taking the shape of a spiked ball growing out a metal trunk. The Kitten's attack bounced harmlessly off of the monster, bouncing back at James and finishing the duel with 2200 points of recoil damage. (James LP: 2000-.>0/Winner: IV) "I win, James. And your wall meant nothing. Hand over one Heart Piece." IV grinned and stuck out his hand.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mikey raised an eyebrow. "That...that doesn't make sense. Unless that face-down redirects my attack. Draw!" He picked up the top card of his deck totally normally, with no typical anime over-exaggeration. Dogma chimed in. [color=#8b4513]"Don't forget! Diamond Dude's effect allows us to activate Destiny Draw, so now we can discard this Fear Monger and draw two cards." [/color]Mikey followed his instructions. "I hardly thing that'll be necessary, cuz' I activate my face-down: Royal Decree! This negates all other trap cards, rendering whatever that face-down is useless! Now! I'm jumping in for the final move! Ready Dogma? [color=#8b4513]Ready, Mikey! [i]Spiral! [/i][/color][i]Fear! [color="#8b4513"]S[/color]l[color=#8b4513]a[/color]s[color="#8b4513"]h[/color]![/i]" Mikey-Dogma rushed at Neo with his blade twirling, but stopped short in front of him and swung the blade at nothingness, releasing a wave of purple energy with only enough power to knock Neo over. (Neo LP: 1300->0/Winner: Mikey) Mikey landed in front of Neo, armor and blade disappearing. However, the wings stayed. They were cool. "Good game, Thomas," he said. "Oh, sorry. Neo. Good game, Neo." He smiled. "Now, those Heart Pieces." Mikey stuck out his hand.

[Kohakuchan19]

Amber Looked to Blazey and smiled as she held out her hand, full of tokens. There was just enough for a two player game.

[b]"This Game is usually expensive, so I came prepaired." [/b]Amber stepped up on the machine's platform before inserting the required amount of tokens for the 2 player game, and then hit a rectangular button just below the screen.

[color=#a9a9a9][b]"Are you Ready?" [/b][/color]Said the machine before going into the mode select. Amber used the arrow buttons on the machine to select the versus mode, and then they were both able to select their difficulty setting. Amber set her's to Standard mode, which was the second most difficult setting, Amber then looked to Blazey and pointed to her recommendation in case she had not played this game before.

[b]"You should play on Light mode if you've never played before. We won't play for points or grade... This is going to be a test of endurance. All you need to do is out dance me, the first to tire out loses. I will let you pick all of the songs, keep in mind.. the more stars or feet you see on the bottom of it's stats, the more arrows you will have to focus on.. your meter will be yellow, mine will be pink."[/b]

Meanwhile, Zebulos was looking around trying to make sure that no suspicious characters were running about. Especially the type that would come after them.

[color=#0000ff][b]"You Majesty...? Is everything alright...?"[/b][/color]
[b][color=#008080]"Yes.. All seems to be fine for the moment, no need to worry Sparkster."[/color][/b]
[b][color=#0000ff]"You are certain..? You look troubled..."[/color][/b]
[b][color=#008080]"There will be a great battle ahead of us... I would like you to keep the others informed and be prepaired.."[/color][/b]
[b][color=#0000ff]"A Battle...? With what...?"[/color][/b]
[b][color=#008080]"...Dragons.... Big ones... and Lots of them..."[/color][/b]

Zebulos' ears twitched slightly as he as he heard a voice...

[color=#008080][b]"Watch over the others... I will return shortly..."[/b][/color] Zebulos then left the group to investigate. He was being as stealthy as he could trying to find what he believed to be a threat, until he finally spotted him.. A warrior in Leather, he seemed to be focusing on Lady Heat however.... Zebulos now attempts to sneak up on him..

[AkatsukiPride!]

The leather demon's ear's twitched, and he turned quickly and moved up to an approaching warrior quickly and ferociously, grabbing him by the neck and unsheathing claws much like Wolverine's from his hands and pinned the beastly warrior to the wall. He quickly overlooked the beast, making sure he wasn't a threat, before his eyes settled on the Number 93 on his body. [color="#add8e6"]​"A Number Monster? Well then, I didn't expect that. Friend of Lady Heat's? Or Sylvia's?" [/color]He placed his claws lightly on the monster's chest. [color=#ADD8E6]"Who are you? What do you want with me?" [/color]

"Um, okay," Blazey said, hitting the light button. "I don't really have a song in mind...I've never played this game and I've never really liked Dance Music..." She scrolled through the list of songs before sighing. "You can pick first, I guess. I don't, well, [i]dance[/i] so yeah. You can pick first."

[Kohakuchan19]

[color=#008080][b]"Both!" [/b][/color]Zebulos barked as He glared at his opponent. He then kicked the monster away from him with one of his feet before drawing his sword [b][color=#008080]"I am Number 93... El Zebulos.. And I want you to stay away from my holder and her friends... Now I ask you the same.. Who are YOU... and what is your purpose here....?"[/color][/b]

Things were probably about to get nasty between the two of them, as Zebulos waited for an answer, he also anticipated an attack from the stranger.

[b]"Well Alright then.. I pick an easy one for now, just remember to step on the arrows as they reach the top of the screen..."[/b]

Amber scrolled through the songs labeled in Green, signifying that these songs were the easier songs to play through. She selected a song by the called "Kick the Can"

[color=#a9a9a9][b]"First Stage.... Are you Ready?"[/b][/color]

And then the music started to play. The Light mode was mere simple steps, but Amber's setting required a lot of jumping and quick steps. Amber clearly gave Blazey a handicap for the first level by choosing a higher difficulty. She had played this game before, and she was good.. the whole reason she said it was a test of endurance, not a contest of points or ranks.

[AkatsukiPride!]

The fiend snickered at the king. [color="#add8e6"]"Even as a Number, you are no threat to me. I am Malicious Edge. Evil Hero Malicious Edge. My purpose? Oh, I don't know...Seek revenge on those who sealed me away long ago?" [/color]He pointed at Lady Heat. [color=#add8e6]"My battle is with her, not you. Now stand down before things get nasty." [/color]Malicious Edge began to walked past Zebulos carelessly, but expecting an attack anyway.

As the music started, Blazey began to jump from arrow to arrow, keeping in time with the music. Not too hard. It wasn't really dancing. It was more like Guitar Hero with her feet. [i]That [/i]was something she could play. She looked over to Amber. quickly and then back at the screen. Seth said she didn't have much endurance. Hopefully, he was right.

[Kohakuchan19]

Zebulos would not let Malicious Edge pass. Instead he insisted on being in the way, as he was keen on protecting his friends.

[color=#008080][b]"... Blazey is my holder's friend.. and that therefore makes her and all of her monsters my friends as well... I will not allow any harm to come to any of them... If you insist on interrupting their fun... You will have to get past me... We are not in a card game at this time... rules are different in this realm...."[/b][/color]

As the Song ended, each of them were given a grade and a summary of how many steps they had made based on timing. Amber wasn't quite tired yet, but she was showing signs of heavy breathing. She picked the next song, this time she picked a Blue song.. it was a little more difficult but not too difficult. This time is was a song called "Kind Lady". The music started to play once more. As the they stepped to the beat, Amber actually started to miss a few of the arrows, but could still keep up with the song to the end.

Meanwhile, as Seth and Emily were walking, he suddenly felt the need to ask a question, one that might make Emily feel uncomfortable.

[color=#000080][b]"So... The person you've been texting.. Is it Dorian...?"[/b][/color]

After waiting for a response, he continued

[color=#000080][b]"I just thought you might need to know he's not the friendliest guy out there... and that he's probably just going to try to exploit your kindness in some way... In fact.. I know he will.. he's already tried to pit you and Amber against one another... know what I mean...?"[/b][/color]

[Durandamon]

Emily's hand shook as she held Seth's - [color=#ff0066]"Flirt with me!? It's not like I'm cute enough for a guy like you..."[/color] - she blushed a lot as she walked Seth to the Arcade Machine and sat down at Snow Bros. When Seth asked about Dorian, she looked down - [color=#ff0066]"W-Well...yes but he didn't try to make us fight! I wanted t-to fight for Leon because he said she was a meanie...besides, apart from Leon he was my only friend and I was alone...I don't want to believe he is bad..."[/color] - she held her tears, although she dropped a few. - [i][color=#ff0066]"I can't look bad in front of Sethie...I want to..."[/color][/i]

She looked up and locked eyes with Seth, with drops of sweat going down her cheek - [color=#ff0066]"But now I'm not alone, am I? I..."[/color] - she started getting closer to Seth - [color=#ff0066]"...have..."[/color] - she was inches away from Seth's face, and their noses were almost rubbing against each other - "...you." - with a mix of fear and happiness, Emily leaned forward and kissed Seth.

Meanwhile, Leon had already won with Sonya, although she sucked ([color=#00ffff]ACHOO![/color]) and started again with his newly unlocked Ermac, unaware that her little sister was making out with his brother in law.

[Kohakuchan19]

Seth saw that Emily was getting a little upset, as a few tears ran down her cheeks

[color=#000080][b]"It's alright.. I can understand how it feels not to have many friends..."[/b][/color] Seth went from a frown to a smile when she noted not being alone anymore. [color=#000080][b]"That's right, you aren't alone anymore, now you have plenty of friends and..." [/b][/color]Seth paused as he realized that Emily was getting just a wee bit close to his face. [color=#000080][b]"um.. Emily..? What are you..?"[/b][/color]

Seth suddenly went wide eyed as Emily kissed him. He didn't know what to think at first, but he liked it. Seth was even about to add on with a warm embrace, but then realized that it wasn't an appropriate time or place... That.. and they barely knew eachother... what if Later on Seth turned out to be no good for her after all...? What if he had something crazy happen to him that causes him to hurt her or the others...? He didn't want to risk it.. He gently pulled away and locked eyes with Emily with sad eyes.

[color=#000080][b]"I.. I'm sorry Emily... It's.. not that I don't like you or anything... You are ADORABLE, and you seem like a very sweet girl... but... I've.. already hurt my friends once.. I don't want the same to happen again.... I'm sure Amber told you all about what happened with me and a number... I know that Bacterian is no longer with me.. which is great... but.. Some crazy things have been happening even after the fact.. But... I want you to know one thing... It isn't you.. It's just me... but If you need anything... ANYTHING at all.. I'll be there to help you.. Just ask... and I'll be there..."[/b][/color]

Seth wrote a number on a piece of paper he had, it was from a fortune cookie he had from the restaurant. It was the number to his cell phone, but on the other side there was in fact a fortune that read.. "Happiness will find you sooner than you expect." then there were lotto numbers underneath.

[color=#000080][b]"... There's that game you mentioned. Did you still want to play..?" [/b][/color]Seth was still worried that he had hurt Emily's feelings.. He was sincere however.. He still looked sad as well He wasn't sure he would ever get another chance with Emily. It wasn't just that though, Dorian was a concern of his too.. Seth knew he had some way of getting the dirt on him and his friends.. He could probably find out about this easily... He.. or at least his butler could really hurt Emily..

[Durandamon]

Emily was about to hug Seth when he pulled her away. - [color=#ff0066]"W-W-Wh..."[/color] - Emily couldn't speak, and was about to burst into tears. She made an effort to calm down, and looked down in embarassment - [color=#ff0066]"I...I j-just...I thought...I thought that maybe...you u-underst-tood me. I-I'm not a little girl! I don't n-need someone to p-protect m-me! I just need s-someone to...l-love me, for once!"[/color] - she didn't even grab Seth's number as she burst into tears and ran out of the Arcade. She started running covering her face with her hands, crashing into some people. Emily finally reached a corner, turned, and let herself fall on the ground, while still crying rivers -[color=#ff0066] "I'M AN I-IDIOT! I must be the ugliest girl ever...F-First L-L-Leon and now S-Seth..." [/color]- she covered her face again, and kept crying. Ashika was behind her, but didn't say anything. After all, it was her punishment for not following the original plan.

[Love of Ghibli]

[color=#ff8c00]Hahahaha Oh this is too great!! Look at how she goes all in like that. She better just get a man.[/color] Dorian said as he was quite literally rolling on the floor laughing out loud. Everyone else was having a good laugh (well except for Butler of course) as they watched the kissing scene. The hotel T.V. served as mere background noise for a second as Seth went on about how Dorian was bad for Emily. Poor Seth always trying to do the right thing, of course in Dorian's eyes Seth may have had a better chance if he actually just went in with Emily. This was mainly because that could serve to be entertaining to watch. Dorian got a sick pleasure from watching Seth worry and wallow and then he wondered is this was how cliched villains felt. It wasn't that bad a feeling.

Meanwhile on Monster dinner theater the spirits and everyone was acknowledging the presence of Malicious Edge. [color=#ff8c00]I don't get it?[/color] Dorian said confused and somewhat disappointed. [color=#ff8c00]That's a hero monster right? Meaning wouldn't it be in the dancing midgets deck, how can you not know about that. And if that is not the case how does no one in the immediate area see this is happening other than Hamtaro. [/color]Man I think I just might end up feeding them to you all anyway.
[color=#8b4513]Wait you weren't going to let us eat the big one?[/color] Osebo asking looking up from the bed with a dumbfounded face.
[color=#ff8c00]He has a bounce effect and I think he does something else with Xyz Material of course not! [/color]
[color=#8b4513]That's just wrong man that's just wrong.[/color]
[color=#ff8c00]Go back and watch the brats the rest of us are going to watch another movie. [/color]

Dorian's attention was turned to the hotel TV as he was still chuckling at the groups events.

[Kohakuchan19]

Seth wasn't at all surprised by Emily's response, but he suddenly felt even worse than he ever did.. He did the very thing he didn't want to do, and that was hurt her.. Though it wasn't in a physical manner.. He DID hurt her feelings, and possibly broke her spirit right along with her heart.. Before he could say anything else, Emily had bolted for the door. [i]"Oh no...!"[/i] He thought as he immediately tried to follow her.

[color=#000080][b]"Emily! Wait up! I'm sorry...! EMILY!!!" [/b][/color]Seth tried his best to catch up to her, but the crowd of people at the side walk slowed him down as he attempted to be polite and not shove them... [color=#000080][b]"I'm sorry.. Pardon me... E.. EMILY!!! WAIT!!!" [/b][/color]

Soon, people started shoving Seth left and right, until finally he got annoyed with them and simply wanted them all out of the way. He had already lost site of Emily..

[color=#000080][b]"Grrr... GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!" [/b][/color]Seth yelled angrily, to which the civilian's responded in shock, and moved out of his way, and stopped where they were, staring at him. Seth then looked ahead and ran ahead to look for Emily. He was just about to pass a corner when he heard Emily crying and shouting while lying on the ground. Seth's heart sank at the site as his breathing became heavy, he wanted to cry too.. He slowly approached Emily, and placed a hand gently on her shoulders.

[color=#000080][b]"Emily... ... I'm sorry I hurt you.... I.. I don't think you're a child... and you are not an idiot..." [/b][/color]Seth paused [color=#000080][b]"But... I might be a good idea.. if maybe we just.. take the time to know one another..."[/b][/color]

Seth once again offered the number, with the same fortune on it. [b][color=#000080]"Here... You don't have to keep it if you don't want to.. but.. I promise you.. If you ever need me for anything.. anything at all... I'll be there for you... I promise..."[/color][/b]

[Durandamon]

Emily grabbed the piece of paper with her shaking hands, and got up. -[color=#ff0066] "T-Thanks, I guess."[/color] - Emily's tears had run out quickly, and she wasn't crying anymore. -[color=#ff0066]"Take our time? M-Maybe, but...I c-can't look at you or Leon right now. Actually...tell the guys I'll see them at the next round tomorrow."[/color] - Emily walked away slowly, with extreme sadness and looking down at her feet. She walked some blocks this way and, after some minutes, she reached her building's door. Emily opened the door while texting Dorian.
[b]I'm going upstairs, I need to tell you some stuff. - Aemilia[/b]
She reached Dorian's apartment and knocked on his door.

[color=#800080]"Hey Amber!"[/color] - Leon was in the middle of Motaro's stage,and had just realized Seth and Emily were gone -[color=#800080] "Where are Seth and Emi? Do you think they are...you know? We should go check on them...motherf*cker!"[/color] - Leon was distracted from his fight and Motaro had left him with almost no health, but he still managed to win - [size=2][color=#800080]"Maybe later, they can handle themselves." [size=4]- [/size][/color][size=3]he whispered to himself, as he kept playing.[/size][/size]

[Kohakuchan19]

[color=#000080][b]"Alright... I will Emily.. We'll see you later..." [/b][/color]Sullen... Seth Turned around and started to make his way back to the Arcade to talk to the others... He felt horrible inside.. but at the same time.. he was a bit worried... According to Emily, Dorian's suite was only a floor or two above her's, and was probably the literal closest person to her. He Decided instead of going back to the Arcade.. He would Text Amber and Leon to tell them what happened and that he was going to keep an eye on her to make sure she was okay. He took out his Cell and punched in a message and forwarded it to Amber and Leon.

[color=#000080][i]"Sorry for leaving so suddenly guys... Emily was trying to reach out to me.. but I ended up hurting her feelings by telling her I didn't want to end up hurting her like I did to all of you before... She seems to be okay now though.. but I'm worried about her still... Sorry you guys.... but I'm going to follow her. At least until I know she is really going to be okay.. Also, she wanted me to tell you guys that she will see you all tomorrow.. Dunno if that means she's not going to the party or not.. Then again I don't much feel like going now either.. Sorry Sis.. See you guys later..[/i][/color]"

Amber and Blazey had just finished Were about to finish the final Song when Amber suddenly lost her balance and tripped on her own feet. She was too tired to go on.. Blazey had won the match.

[b]"Wooh... So... tired..." [/b]Amber panted, she then felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and she pulled it out to read a text message, she then looked over to Leon, and said [b]"I just got a message from Seth.. I guess He messed up, and said something to Emily... He's never really been good with girls I guess... We should get going.. The Party is in a few hours.. Oh! Here Blazey.. You earned these!" [/b]

Amber Smiled as she gave Blazey two Heart Pieces. [b]"You should register while you still can."[/b]

Amber then was about to walk over to Leon when she saw Zebulos was having a stand off with what appeared to be nothing.. since she could only see her own monsters..

[b]"Zebulos? What's the matter...? Is someone there?"[/b]
[b][color=#008080]"M'Lady... We need to get out of here.. This Duel Monster is after Blazey's Duel Spirit Lady Heat! I'll fight him off if he tries to follow. GO!!"[/color][/b]
[b]"A Duel Monster... Blazey! We need to go.. one of your friends is in danger here.! Zebulos told me a stray duel monster is after Lady Heat! Leon! Yuki! Rai! Lets get out of here!"[/b]

It was just as well, they had to go anyway, some to get ready for the party, and Blazey needed to register for the semi finals.

Meanwhile, Seth followed Emily from a distance.. just far enough so he could still see her, until they had reached the hotel, he had to be a bit more stealthy.. He waited a bit for Emily to walk by a corner, which he would then use to peek to see where she would go next before following after her. He kind of felt like a stalker, but it wasn't like he didn't have good intentions.. He followed until Emily reached an Elevator.. Fantastic.. this will make things difficult... After the Elevator to watch the numbers to see where it would stop.. it finally stopped and Seth went on the next elevator to go up to that same floor.. When he made it up, he let the doors slide open and peeked out to see if it was clear, Emily was knocking on a door... He knew it.. She was going to try to get some kind of comfort from Dorian... Seth quickly ran behind a corner without being seen and listened to find out if Dorian would answer...

[color=#000080][i]"Dammit... If anything happens to her It'll be my fault... GOD I'm Such a fool... Why couldn't I have just tell her how I really felt...?" [/i][/color]He thought to himself.

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian had to recall all of his spirits when he heard the knock on the door and Butler had already turned the T.V. off. He put on his best smile and opened the door to greet his new friend.

[color=#ff8c00]"HEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!! So ho..." [/color]he can see that she looked saddened "O[color=#ff8c00]h something didn't go right I see well come we have a banquet to get ready for and you tears make for unnecessary wrinkles especially at such a young age."[/color] Dorian grabbed her by the wrist and proceeded to sprint downstairs into the lobby to the basement and as Emily may have been out of breathe Dorian had already pointed to across the street from their living arrangements. [color=#ff8c00]I give you the power of money and friendship, in short i bought the hotel spa for the day..well rest of the night. So you go get ready and I'll meet you in the thermal baths. We shall get all of this sadness out of your system soon, besides I saw your text and I think we should have a little conversation.[/color] Dorian said smiling the whole time.

Dorian and all of his card companions were laughing on the inside as Dorian got to be the hero for once so why not milk it while he still has the chance.

[Kohakuchan19]

Seth saw Dorian take Emily down the stairs, which fortunately was the opposite direction, but instead of just following them.. He noticed that the door was left open.. was it a trap..? could Dorian had know he was here... Perhaps the Butler was still in there... ... He decided to take his chances and sneak past the open door, but he couldn't resist the urge to take a peek into the suite.. He had a bad feeling as he got closer though.. To his surprise, he didn't really see anyone.. So, he decided to do a little snooping of his own.. It was only fair as apparently Dorian had somehow been doing the same thing to him and his friends...He entered the suite and looked around.. It was a large suite.. the rich boy went all out... It was like a condo inside.. There was a living room, a kitchen, and what appeared to be a separate room, but the door was closed, Seth assumed it was the bedroom, which probably had a bathroom.. Seth didn't care about that though.. His attention suddenly went to the window, where he figured by this point, Dorian and Emily were outside. He approaches the window and looks outside to see them walking across the street to what he could only guess was a Spa...

[color=#000080][b]"Ha.. A Spa huh.. After all she's been through.. Emily certainly deserves it..." [/b][/color]He said aloud. [color=#000080][b]"There's nothing here to see I guess.. better get out of here before I get myself caught.... whoa!"[/b][/color]

As Seth turned around, He tripped suddenly, and his hand hit a TV remote, which turned on the TV [color=#000080][i]"s***!" [/i][/color]He thought as he quickly stood up to run out the door, but he stopped himself as he saw the screen.. What he saw disturbed him... He saw the inside of the Arcade.. He could see Amber and the rest of his friends.. Amber looked Warn out from the DDR game.. Looked like Blazey won.. but.. still.. HOW was he seeing this from Dorian's room.. all he could say was.. [color=#000080][b]"What the hell...?"[/b][/color]

[Love of Ghibli]

The door closes as Seth utters his little exclamation and behind is Butler who was waiting.

[color=#800000]"Well you sure are sneaky little boy are you not?"[/color]

Butler had been waiting for his little reunion with Seth after earlier encounters left Butler looking foolish. Dorian had already planned a reunion with Seth its just that he did honestly forget to close the door. Butler was going to simply grab his master's robe from the one of the closets but as he went Seth had already entered luckily Butler just stayed hidden in a closet till the T.V. came on. Now according to the plan Butler is supposed to kill Seth but doing so in the hotel room is not the most fitting scene besides how would Goggle slut even see the body without it having to be dragged across town or something extravagant.

[color=#800000]"As a butler I have to ask can. Can I help you?" [/color]Butler said waiting to see the boys actions clearly he was trapped and he has lost all forms of possible advantage. So what would he do now.

Rai had simply been standing around, observing the arcade as well as Amber and her friends. He caught on quite a few things, such as the fact that Amber already had a boyfriend. He merely smiled at that. There was also a couple of other things going on, and his mind slowly began to repiece his memories of the arcade as well as his previous, former life... He was suddenly interrupted and snapped back into reality when Amber said something right out of the blue. He tilted his head for a moment at her words, confused. They didn't make all that much sense, but he obeyed them anyway and left.

[color=yellow][i]What's the matter? Sad that she's already taken?[/i][/color] 77 asked, unable to read his possesser's expression.

[i]No.[/i] Rai replied, a slight smile on his face. [i]Rather, for some twisted reason, it makes me look forward to our upcoming duel..!!![/i]

[b]"Royal Decree?! Awe crap..."[/b] Thomas fell backwards as Dogma's attack hit, and his life points went down to zero. [b]"Heh...this plan didn't work at all..."[/b] He said as he flipped over his set Magic Cylinder. Picking himself up off the ground, he smiled at Mikey. [b]"Yeah, that was a good game. Although, you totally owned me...oh well. Here are the Heart Pieces."[/b] He placed his two extra Pieces into Mikey's outstreached hand. [b]"And, um, why do you still have wings? I mean, it's cool and all, but kinda weird..."[/b] Then, suddenly, he laughed for no apparent reason. [b]"Man, life has gotten weird lately. I just calmly asked somebody why he has wings....wow."[/b]

James watched in terror as his Wind-Up Kitten was knocked backwards and a gust of wind staggered him backwards (James: 0 Life Point) thus fading the Augment Reality. He felt annoyed that once again he lost complete control over the duel just by one attack. [color=#daa520][i]‘Why do I have to be so careless, this is the second time I had control over even Bacterian but lost it to my own carelessness,’ [/i][/color]James thought getting from his pocket one Heart Piece that he forcibly gave to IV dropping his Heart Pieces down to only 3.

He knew he had to be quick if he wanted to get into the finals because he had a short amount of time left but he was scarred by his defeat and by the amount of pain inflicted from him by the Numbers he has faced. Because of his broken Photon Mode that allowed the Numbers to partly control him, he has become only a shadow of his former self from the exhaustion he has faced. [b][color=#daa520]“Now what are you going to do to me IV?”[/color][/b] James asked curious as his confidence and maliciousness faded within his heart that was once consumed by his inner hatred of Numbers. [color=#daa520][b]“I mean, you must have done something to that Seth and that girl…'The gamer Duelist' one the Bouncers said her nickname was and her group... Because you’ve got Number 89 so you must have done something because that's Seth's signature card and the Numbers are one of a kind. You must have done something,”[/b][/color]

[color=#000080][b]"What I want doesn't really matter at this point. But.. If Either of you do anything to hurt Emily.. I don't care what experience you have.. I'll make you wish you hadn't..."[/b][/color]

Seth then decided, he needed to get out.. Emily... He should have just stuck to his original plan.. but now he was screwed.. unless he could fight his way out.. which was unlikely, but he didn't care... He made fists and got into a fighting stance...

[color=#000080][b]"On the other hand.. you can get the HELL OUT OF MY WAY!!!"[/b][/color]

That was when Seth lunged towards the Door, ready to try and fight Butler if he had to in order to escape.

[color=#ff0066]"You are a great friend, Dorian. I hope I do get the sadness out...whoa!"[/color] - Emily was surprised as Dorian took her downstairs and through the door -[color=#ff0066] "To the spa? N-Now? Thanks!"[/color] - Emily was already panting as they crossed the street. She then remembered something, and warned Dorian - [color=#ff0066]"I think you left the door open, maybe we should go back?"[/color] - she said, but kept walking and went through the spa's door anyway. It was a huge place, and a very fancy one to that - [color=#ff0066]"Wow! You own this entire place!? How much money do you even have, Ian?"[/color] - she asked out of curiosity, because buying a place like that must have been expensive.

Meanwhile, Leon had heard Amber's warning and left the game for a kid, while he called Sonya back - [color=#800080]"Sonya, come here! Are you sure we must leave, Ammie? We can totally beat the sh*it out of...whoa!" [/color]- Leon could feel the monster's energy, and decided for something else. He grabbed Blazey's and Amber's hands and ran outside - [color=#800080]"Yuki! Rai! Follow us!"[/color]

Dorian started laughing as Emily was worried about his door problems and even further inquired as to how much money he possibly possessed.
[color=#ff8c00]"Oh I have enough..and I left the door open interesting I must have been in a hurry to show off my money. Which is odd because I guess Butler would have caught that mistake but he isn't here right now I wonder what is keeping him? Well it must be something important."[/color] For a quick second Dorian's eyes went from side to side in actual concern or disbelief, but just then a villainous smile came across his face as he know what possibly could have happened. [color=#ff8c00]"I think Butler is trying to surprise me with a gift for the banquet tonight so we must hurry up and get pampered as you can see I have already had stage one of my maintenance and trust me it takes a lot of work to get this good looking.[/color] He said with a slight laugh as he was trying to make a joke.

Seconds had passed and both Dorian and Emily were in robes being waited on and pampered by a crack team of specialized handmaidens. Who only cater to the Von Schroeder family. [color=#ff8c00]"So break words with me, what happened at wherever you went, you seemed disheartened."[/color] Dorian was hiding his smile because he just wanted to see how much truth she would actually say.

Meanwhile Butler on the other hand was rather happy that Seth lunged at him. In those seconds Butler thought what would be the least messy way to put the boy down but then he realized as a trained killer it may be hard to not kill a person who you immensely outclass. Butler did the next best thing and when the boy launched himself Butler stepped to the side and forced Seth to run into the door. Hitting his head and temporarily knocking him out. When Seth came too his arms and legs were bound to separate post of the bed and Butler was busy going through his phone.

[color=#800000]"You're awake. You took a nasty blow to the head there. Don't worry no harm shall come to you or Amelia. Even though I am sure Master is better for her than you at the moment."[/color] Butler said coldly as he was simply trying to find the contact information for Amber.

[Kohakuchan19]

As he saw Butler move out of the way, he suddenly felt Butler's palm on the back of his head, which then shoved him right into the door, leaving a slight imprint on the door. It was solid wood, so it didn't crack. He let out a quick yell, followed by a dizzy groan as he collapsed onto the floor.. The next thing he knew.. Seth was waking up and found himself tied to a Bed... Odd... He was expecting a chair.. He knew where he was though.. He was in what could only be the bedroom of Dorian's suite.. He tried to get free, but his limbs were tied down in such a way that he couldn't do much of anything other than squirm. Seth looked around and spotted Butler, and found that all of his things were sorted out on a table. Or at least everything from his pockets and his bag. He saw his Deck box, spare clothes, and.. where was his phone...? Of course.. It was in Butler's hands... Butler looked over to him and made comments about Emily.. Saying that no harm was going to come to her.. Yeah right.. like he could believe anything they said.

[b][color=#000080]"Emily... I know I may not be the best candidate for a Boyfriend... But she deserves WAY better than a creep like Dorian!"[/color][/b]
Seth then noticed the contacts screen on his phone.. [color=#000080][b]"Hey! What the hell are you doing with my phone!?"[/b][/color]

[Durandamon]

[color=#ff0066]"Well, you certainly are good looking!"[/color] - Emily giggled as she wore her robe, and blushed when the handmaidens started pampering her -[color=#ff0066] "I-I...t-thank y-y-ou! Break words? Maybe..."[/color] - she was about to start talking, when she saw the handmaidens were still there. She was also still very sad because of Seth - [color=#ff0066]"How about we get in the thermal baths to discuss...[size=2]it's a bit private you know?[/size]"[/color] - she whispered and got up, thanked the handmaidens, and went into the changing room before the bath. When she was inside, che remembered she had Seth's number and texted him.
[b]I'm really sorry about what I did before...can I call you later? - Emily[/b]
She left her clothes and phone in the changing room and wrapped a towel around her body, as she opened the door - [color=#ff0066]"R-Ready for the bath, Ian?"[/color]
