Thread: Yu-gi-oh 5Ds: Downfall of the King (Athene & East)

RE Yu-gi-oh 5Ds Fall of the King Athene East Yuri Yukihime Akiyama Home again, home again, Yuri muttered, sighing softly as the door to her quaint residence was unlocked. As she flipped on the lights and slipped her shoes off, she didn't bother announcing her arrival. She was, as always, alone. Not because her parents were dead or anything. No, no. The bad news was even though they were alive, they were constantly traveling. As such, Yuri very seldom saw their actual faces. Nowadays, it was limited primarily to letters, postcards, or the occasional video chat on her laptop. A small smile that had the most obvious displays of sorrow in it briefly spread over her face before disappearing, replaced with a more neutral look. Well ... this work isn't gonna complete itself. Moving her backpack off of her shoulders, Yuri walked to the dining room table and set her books and binders down in one chair. A quick unzip and setting down later, she then started jotting down the answers to her homework assignments. The day before had been repeated, like all of the others Yuri had lived. After homework, she made herself dinner, killed time watching TV, and when that got too boring, she opted to read. Most of the times, she chose various novels or books. Every now and again, however, she did thumb through some magazines. What few friends she had were worried about her lack of feminine looks supposedly. So, she agreed to try browsing through for some fashion tips. It was for herself and never them that was her story and she was sticking to it, damnit. Speaking of said friends ... her head turned as she heard a rushed set of footfalls running behind her. Hey, Kyoko! The barely elder teenager standing a few paces behind her chuckled softly, waving eagerly to Yuri. ... Oh god, now what? Out loud, however, she cleared her throat and asked, Sooo ... what'd you find? Awww. You know me so well. I was gonna say I was just greeting you but ... ehh. You always have been more blunt and to the point, so .... tada! In her hands was a pamphlet. It was the words across it that Kyoko quickly pointed to. FREE AUTOGRAPHS FROM JACK ATLAS! Come to the Fountain Plaza today between the hours of 1600 PM to 2000 PM. Yuri tilted her head and handed the pamphlet back. Uh-huh. Oookay, cool. Congrats on getting that, I suppose. Kyoko shook her head, clicking her tongue. No. Come on, don't make me go alone! Join me! .... Why? How many times have we had this talk? I don't ... I mean ... he is attractive and all. But let's be realistic for a bit. He's the current king, ya know? We're literally probably peasants to his huge egotistical mind. There's no point in swooning over a man you'll never grab the attention of. Kyoko sighed, pouting lightly. .... How are you my senpai again? Because I am still older. You could fool me, Yuri muttered. Just ... think about it, at least? Please? .... Fine. I'll think . But that's the best I can promise you. Awesome! You're the best! Alright! I'll see ya after school! Yuri merely shook her head in disbelief. I said I'd think, she repeated under her breath, Ugh. I hate that she almost never listens. But at the same time, she did love her optimism and her energy. Yuri had her own, mind you. But they didn't tend to show unless she was dueling. Her quiet nature and personality had been what made the assumptions she truly was some 'ice queen' or 'snow princess' title a more literal one. More than worrying about her physical appearance, she tended to fret about her mannerisms. And who knew? Maybe this would be a good opportunity to work on both of her flaws if she went? Oh god. Am I really actually considering this? .... She'd have to ask for a favor to help make this arrangement fair. Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel cheated. Like she had been tricked, or worse. But the more her mind thought about whether to attend or not, the more she found herself favoring the 'yes' decision. I deserve a free upside smack of her head, she half-quietly teased, going quiet when she realized the first bell of the day was about to ring and she had yet to step foot into the Academy! With a newly found sense of resolve and vigor, her walking turned into running as Yuri desperately dashed to her destination.
