Thread: Yu-gi-oh 5Ds: Rise of Darkness and Corruption (Athene/ImaginaryMuse & Razgriz)

Yuna Yukio Takeda What's with that look? Hmmm? It had likely been a subconscious reaction, but for about five seconds - long enough for Yuna to notice - a confused expression appeared on Sosuke's face. What? I can be reasonable. I'm not all brawl but no brains sorta guy, ya know? It was a tease, and even without the tone being included in her voice, even a child - should one have been nearby - would have been able to realize that much. But for real, I get it. The joking expression vanished as swiftly as it was seen, now replaced with a more stoic look on Yuna's face. I don't like admitting it, but I understand. It's another of the many necessary evils that have suddenly become a part of our lives. A frustrated sigh helped enunciate the end of her thoughts as she slid her hands into her pockets. It was a habit, though slightly forced, to help her seem more convincing as a male. Mind you, it wasn't that Yuna had a one track-mind. The more appropriate logic was she never once forgot the guise she was attempting to maintain, as well as why she started living as Yukio instead of Yuna. Sosuke was one of the few people that she could be around and not fear for her life, among other things. But he was one of the rare exceptions. If anyone else were nearby her should Yuna's true identity be discovered, it was very fair to assume things would get much uglier than a brief, verbal exchange of insults. In any event...Good talk. The words helped yank Yuna out of her thoughts. Her head tilted as she raised an eyebrow. A new smirk emerged as she chuckled softly. Good talk? You make it sound like we haven't had many of those. Yeah though. I will admit this is by far one of our much more smoother conversations. Hands down. And they seemed to have agreed to end this at the best possible time. Only three steps were taken towards the mess hall before her stomach angrily growled. Yeah, yeah, she muttered, Shut up. Working on it. There were times when Yuna didn't need to be told twice to do or say certain things. This was easily a perfect example of one of those moments. She eagerly sat down across from Sosuke and began to grab some food for herself. Her head lowered as she silently gave thanks for the food before finally beginning to eat. Slowly but surely, Yuna felt herself briefly zoning out. An array of what-ifs were trying to rush through her head. .... But why? She didn't have that many things to do. A few, sure. This was the mindset she tended to follow when she was in a tough duel, or making a difficult decision. You're over-thinking probably ... Her head moved from side to side for a few moments before ceasing. As the movements halted, she found herself looking into the eyes of Hajime. Oi, Yukio-san? You okay? Heh. Yeah. Just ... spaced out for a while. The blue-haired male scoffed before sighing softly in relief. You ... looked ... Raising one of his hands, he deftly swung it through the empty air, choosing to drop the subject. Never mind. Anyway, what's on our agenda? You should know not to bring that up at a place like this. Business can be talked about somewhere more discreet. .... Right. My bad, Yukio-san. Only after a slight pause lingered did Sosuke take his turn to speak up. Suffice to say, the words definitely grabbed Yuna's attention. The smug glint in her eyes easily revealed that much. She waited, allowing Sosuke's men to have their exchange and finish that much before joining in. If you're worried that much about him, I can tag along. Yukio-san?! Are you out of your mind?! You've been staying under the radar so well, and ... Yuna took her own turn to give a stern glare and affirmative nod to her own right-hand man. Yeah. I am. I appreciate the concern but let's not lie to ourselves. There's always going to be a risk of me being found out about. Even if I stayed here, that would be the same. Though I do enjoy remaining here and ensuring things continue to go smoothly, I won't lie. I have been a bit stir-crazy. I feel pretty good about my deck and all, but hell, what better way to test and make damn sure I haven't lost my touch by going with Sosuke? ... Is this really -- ?? Your agenda , since you asked for it not but a minute or so ago, is to take my spot. Until I return, you will be in charge. There will only be one person I will accept a 'no' from. Now Yuna turned her head, leaning forward slightly as she looked at Sosuke with the same mischievous smirk adorning her face. So ... what do you say? If you mind the extra company, I'll understand. I may not be a fiend like you, but I sure as shit am something else. A fighter of sorts, literally or otherwise. I can always remind you ... and it'll be easier for you to do if you say yes. But I won't force that reply to come from you. Simultaneously, it wouldn't stop her from continuing to secretly hope to get the answer she wished to hear. So, she paused and waited, curious to find out what Sosuke would say regarding her offer. Last edited Nov 4, 2018
