[heartofaduelist]

[Well, this is... kind of awkward.]

M-mun-san... you already have Ryou-chan like this, d-did you really need another one?

Comments

[note_atem]

[Awkward is a good word for it.]

A very good question. [Regardless of what forms they come in, his partner should never be subjected to the whims of malicious people.]

[heartofaduelist]

[Oh god, Mou Hitori no Watashi! Save me!]

Do you... mind me being like this?

[note_atem]

[A small consideration before a small smile.]

Why? Do you mind me like this?

[heartofaduelist]

N-no, I don't mind...

I missed you, Mou Hitori no Watashi....

[note_atem]

Missed me? Have we been apart long? [End of their journey? Trying to parse out a time line here...]

[heartofaduelist]

...A little bit, yeah. It's... [She was over it, she was so sure of it.]

A few months... after the Ceremonial Duel... and you had gone into the after life.

[note_atem]

[A breath out.]

So you should be settling along into your own. [Which is what Yuugi deserved. Their time together was important, but his- ...er, her life, her story, was important, too.]

[heartofaduelist]

Y-yeah, I am. [Didn't mean that she didn't miss him terribly though.]

I still duel a lot, mostly through challenges on the street. [And a fun duel between friends every now and then.]

[note_atem]

That's great! [Dueling is the best way to live life, obviously.] I'm sure you've made even more friends by now.

[neverwavering]

[ Awkward indeed...

How the hell does she proceed? ]

By now I've realized that muns will do what they want with us and we have no say in it. Sounds totally fair, doesn't it?

[heartofaduelist]

N-not really, no...

Do I... know you?

[neverwavering]

I guess you'll have to suffer like the rest of us.

And... Kinda? I mean, I know the male you.

[heartofaduelist]

[Not looking forward to that. Nope. She does have a nice smile for you, though.]

I guess that's a good thing, then.

[neverwavering]

[ Sorry, Yuugi. She hates being brutally honest, but it's better than hiding the truth. ]

Yep! Anyway, mate, since this version of you doesn't know me, I'm Resa Varick. Nice to meet'cha.

[heartofaduelist]

Nice to meet you too, Resa-san. [Or would she prefer Varick-san? She didn't know.]

How do you know... my male self?

[neverwavering]

[ She's fine with either, really. ]

He and I have been friends for a while now. I met him at school, actually.

[heartofaduelist]

Oh, did you transfer to Domino High School, like Ryou-chan?

[foreveratone]

Unfortunately, muns do what they like.

[heartofaduelist]

Is that how it always is?

[foreveratone]

Yes.

Ask Ryou-san as well, I'm sure she'll vouch for it.

[heartofaduelist]

Ryou-chan? You know her? [Maybe he's a friend of hers from one of her old schools? It would explain why she doesn't know him.]

[foreveratone]

A version of her, yes.

The one I know is really close to a friend of mine.

[heartofaduelist]

[Well, that does warm her heart, hearing that Ryou could be close to someone. She always did look so sad and distant sometimes.]

That's good to hear. I'm glad that Ryou-chan has found someone she can be close to. She deserves to be happy, after everything she's been through...

[foreveratone]

[He nods. He's heard some of it, of course. And Lelouch deserves it as well.]

I am too. She seems like a shy, reserved young woman.

[He gives a slight bow.]

I'm Kururugi Suzaku.

[heartofaduelist]

She is. I can see where she's coming from, though. [After the Spirit in her life, it was a wonder she wanted to be around any people at all. She returns the bow, of course. It's the polite thing to do, duh.]

Mutou Yuugi. Nice to meet you, Suzaku-san...
