My Maiden's Number Chapter 6: You and I, a yu-gi-oh! zexal fanfic

My Maiden's Number Finale:

*dbz narration*

Previously on My Maiden's Number, Kotori had taken control, literally! She stole Yuma's Utopia, and pretty much his heart, through her mysterious card, Love Vision! However, Kotori had acted very strangely, giving him a kiss on the lips when giving him a card known as "Luminous Xyz". Questioning the Number 13, Yuma made quick moves to clear Utopia off of Kotori's field, however failing to get rid of her, but still had Number 39 back in his grasp. However, Kotori didn't possess one Number, no, she had two, summoning a powerful and dark Number, Number 31: Heartbreaker(I changed it only for this chapter.) . This in turn, revealed who was the true dark number, but what had happened to Number 13? Will Yuma survive? What does this "Luminous Xyz" do anyway? This duel and story concludes today on MY MAIDEN'S NUMBER!

Chapter 6: You and I

"Luminous Xyz…"

Yuma looked up, taking a breath, knowing his life points were in a pinch.

"Astral, any ideas?"

Astral floated up, or tried to, for he looked at the stats.

Yuma: 1100

Kotori: 1050

"We may be facing a 50 life point difference Yuma, but we must prevent Utopia from being destroyed."

Kotori, along with her dark Xyz Monster, No.31 Heartbreaker, were smirking evilly.

"Well, are you gonna make your last turn count or are you going to stand there? Lost your precious Kattobingu spirit?"

Yuma then had fiery eyes.

"I never lose my Kattoubingu spirit Kotori! And I'm not losing you because of that Number!"

Kotori then flinched, grabbing the side of her head in pain.

"Agh…what is this strain? No, I mustn't lose focus. Must focus on getting Yuma. I've come so far…I lost so much to gain just the same amount…"

She then stood up, however, her expression changing as she looked at him.

"Yuma…"

Hand: 0

Turn 16, Yuma:

Yuma then drew one of his cards, getting a bit worried with the stats.

"Alright, I think this will work."

He then directed his attention from his hand to the field.

"Here goes a Spell Card called Gagaga Steel Cage!"

A spiked cage with the Gagaga Symbol then surrounded Yuma and a small ball of light rose from his graveyard.

"This prevents you from attacking me for 2 whole turns…"

Yuma then just growled a little.

"However, as a cost, I have to remove my Gagaga Magician in my graveyard, and one of your monsters gains that monster's attack and defense points as well."

Gagaga Magician's soul then appeared in the light ball, shooting and fully forming over the beam Katana, making No.31 Heartbreaker get stronger.

No.31 Heartbreaker, Xyz, Rank 5, Fiend, DARK:

ATK: 3900 + 1500 = 5400
DEF: 2100 + 1000 = 3100

Yuma just closed his eyes and scowled. Astral tried to however, attract the attention of Yuma.

"Yuma, you still have-"

Yuma then groaned and facepalmed himself.

"OF COURSE! I activate Overlay Eater's ability in my graveyard!"

A red lizard then appeared onto the field.

"I can steal an Overlay Unit from you, and add it to my own Xyz monster!"

The red lizard's tongue then stretched out, grabbing an Overlay Unit and attaching it to No.39 Utopia.

No.39 Utopia: 1 Overlay Unit

No.31 Heartbreaker: 2 Overlay Units

"And the Overlay Unit I took was your Lightsworn Wulf, so you lose half of your ATK and DEF!"

No.31 Heartbreaker:

ATK: 5400 ÷ 2 = 2700
DEF: 3200 ÷ 2 = 1600

"Now, I shall end my turn with one card facedown."

Hand: 1

Turn 17, Kotori:

"I draw!"

As Kotori drew her card, she spent a little bit of time on the card she just drew.

"Excellent, I activate the card Tributed Xyz!"

As the card activated, 2 screens with the words "Extra Deck" appeared in front of them.

"Here's what happens. We send an Xyz monster from each other's Extra Decks to the graveyard, and then we can special summon a monster with exactly 1 higher or lower level from our decks than the sent Xyz Monster's Rank."

Kotori tapped on the "Leviathan Dragon", while Yuma chose the Rank 5 "Heart Seeker". Kotori pulled a card out of her deck, giving Yuma another evil smirk.

"I can Special Summon a Level 4 monster, such as Victoria!"

A gold fairy monster with large dragonic wings, which were also golden, blonde hair, more gold armor, a scepter in the shape of a dragon, finally, four dragon heads that connected to her dress in a carriage fashion, floated up onto the field. Honestly, what were the card designers thinking?

Victoria, Level 4, Fairy, LIGHT:

ATK: 1800
DEF: 1500

Once per turn, you can select 1 Dragon-Type monster from your opponent's Graveyard, and Special Summon to your side of the field. Your opponent cannot select another face-up Fairy-Type monster as an attack target.

"Alright then, I summon my Overlay Owl!"

A white, but formally dressed owl then flew onto the field, with a black cane, yellow vest, and a red cape.

Overlay Owl, Level 4, Winged-Beast, WIND:

ATK: 800
DEF: 1600

Once per turn: You can pay 600 Life Points; detach 1 Xyz Material from a monster on the field.

Kotori just scowled.

"Looks like I can't use No.31's ability or attack, however," she just smirked evilly, "I can still use this girl's ability!"

Suddenly, the light came from the female fairy's staff, causing in yellow, the number "17" to form and flash, with Leviathan Dragon's sealed form rising from a dark cloud. The purple orb uncoiled itself to become its body and head, while the scythes around it became wings. The 17 on its horn glowed brightly as it let out a loud roar. As the Special Summon was complete, the Number 17 also glowed on her right hand.

No.17 Leviathan Dragon, Xyz, Rank 3, Dragon, WATER:

ATK: 2000
DEF: 0

2 Level 3 monsters

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card gains 500 ATK. If this card has no Xyz Material, it cannot attack your opponent directly.

"How did she summon Leviathan Dragon?"

Astral gasped at the Fairy monster.

"Victoria has the effect to revive Dragon monsters from our graveyard. Using Xyz Tributer to send a Dragon from our Extra Deck to the graveyard, and then reviving them to create another army."

Yuma was just confused.

"Leviathan Dragon doesn't seem like a threat…no overlay units, 2000 ATK, and it can't attack us directly."

Astral nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. She must be planning something more."

Kotori seemed to scowl at Astral, before she spoke.

"Since I can't do much more, I end my turn."

Hand: 0

Turn 18, Yuma:

Gagaga Steel Cage: 1 Turn left

"I draw!"

Yuma grimaced at the card he drew.

"I play one card facedown, and activate my Owl's effect!"

A small wind started coming over Kotori's field.

"I can pay 600 life points, and one overlay unit on your monster gets blown away!"

No.31: Heartbreaker: 1 Overlay Unit

Yuma: 1100 – 600 = 500

"One more Overlay Unit and your monster's history!"

Astral then caught his attention.

"The Trap card Yuma!"

Yuma then flinched.

"Right…I activate ZEXAL Miracle! Here's what goes down, first, I'm required to remove a ZW card from my deck," Yuma took out the "ZW - Unicorn Spear" from his deck, and put it away somewhere. "And an effect monster on my side of the field, in order to deal an extra 500 Life points!"

As Overlay Owl disappeared, it turned into a beam of white light, before shooting itself into Kotori's chest.

"Agh!"

Kotori: 1050 – 500 = 550

"What the-"

As she was struck, a flashback appeared in her head, showing her how she 'lost' to Yuma and him reciting that line from that dream.

"You're not perfect to me…"

Kotori fell back from the shock before a voice got into her head again.

"Get up. You are perfect to him."

Her eyes then lost all of its previous shine, full of nothing more than a blank stare. No.31 on the field was smirking evilly.

"Well little boy, all of what you've known of your precious Kotori is gone."

Yuma just scowled.

"What comes next is ZEXAL Miracle's second effect! It normally lets us draw 1 card, but if I removed an effect monster that had the same level as the ZW, then I can draw 4 cards, and you draw 2!"

As they both drew their cards, Yuma just growled at the Number.

"And oh man, when I get to getting rid of you from Kotori, you will be sorry! The card ZEXAL Miracle forces me to end my turn, so let's get this over with! Turn End!"

Hand: 5

Turn 19, Kotori:

Kotori's voice then matched the Number's, becoming quite dark, along with the Number glowing quite intensely.

"You're finished Yuma! I draw!"

As Kotori, or Number 31, made Kotori fraw the card, Yuma got worried.

"Thanks for some new cards Yuma. I can first activate Ranking Units! I can permanently reduce the Rank of No.31 for it to get 2 overlay Units, however, it also loses 1000 ATK and DEF, for it also turns a Rank 3 or below monster into a Normal Monster."

As the two Rank stars flew out of No.31's card, they became 2 purple overlay units, attaching themselves to Heartbreaker.

No.31 Heartbreaker: 3 Overlay Units

ATK: 2700 – 1000 = 1700
DEF: 1600 – 1000 = 600

Yuma just gasped.

"That means,"

Kotori just laughed at his expense.

"2 more for my use! Now, I choose Leviathan Dragon as a Normal Monster!"

No.17 Leviathan Dragon, Level 3, Dragon, WATER

"Finally, I'll consume 2 Overlay Units, for No.31 to get so much more powerful!"

The two Overlay units then absorbed into the pink beam katana, before Leviathan Dragon and Victoria got slashed, fueling the now bright, sparking, 15 feet beam katana lightsaber.

No.31 Heartbreaker:

ATK: 1700 + 2000 = 3700 + 900 = 4600
DEF: 600 + 0 = 600 + 750 = 1250

Yuma was just confused.

"Why would she need all of that power when Leviathan Dragon was just fine to power her up?"

Kotori's cards then glowed purple, rising in front of her.

"Spell cards activate! Immortal Overlay Blade and Chain Confession!"

Chains then sprouted out of the ground, while the Beam Katana in No.31's hand disassembled before turning into a large fifteen feet steel sword, similar to the structure of the Master Sword, along with turning into a large Master Sword Lightsaber with a dark purple light blade, giving Yuma some fear.

"This blade can prevent my Monster's destruction, by it can be an Overlay Unit itself, however, at a cost, another 1500 ATK and DEF are taken out of my Xyz monster."

No.31 Heartbreaker:

ATK: 4600 – 1500 = 3100
DEF: 1250 – 1500 = 0

Yuma then scowled at the chains that had Utopia withheld.

"And what does that confession card do?"

Kotori smirked.

"It does this! Utopia, attack Heartbreaker now!"

"What?"

The steel cage that was around Yuma and Kotori then was shattered by the electrical pulses from the chains, forcing Utopia to move forward and attack.

"No!"

Astral then raised his hand.

"I activate my trap!"

Yuma just scowled.

"Stop stealing my moves, this is my fanfic! I activate Half Unbreak!"

A few bubbles then surrounded the warrior number, creating sparks as contact came between the monsters.

"This prevents Utopia from getting taken out, and I only take half the damage!"

Sparks flew back, striking Yuma intensely.

"KOTORI!"

Yuma: 500 – 300 = 200

Kotori's eyes then snapped open with her normal gaze, crying out towards Yuma, reaching out to him.

"YUMA!"

Suddenly, purple lightning sparked from the Numbers on her hands, causing her to wail in pain as well. Yuma opened his eyes, seeing Kotori getting hurt, severely. He then tried to stand up, even through the pain.

"I'm going to save you!"

The chains the disappeared, however, the sparks around the two who were still dueling had not, immediately switching to Yuma's turn.

Hand: 0

Turn 20, Yuma:

Yuma looked at his deck, gritting his teeth as the sparks continued to shock him.

"C'mon, I need that card right now!"

As he placed a hand to his deck, he shouted at the top of his lungs with a very energetic smile.

"Kattobingu, daze ore! DRAW!"

As he drew his card, he smirked without even looking at the card as he activated it.

"Spell Card, MONSTER REBORN!"

Suddenly, Kotori got possessed by the number again.

"What? NO!"

A light then erupted in front of Yuma. The number "13" formed and flashed in blue, and a familiar sealed form emerged. The form began to change and shift until all arrangement were made, filling in the armaments. She grasped her staff, her 13 glowing, and spun it around before yelling her trademark "HEE-YAH!" and taking a battle stance, making Yuma cheer.

"Special Summon, No.13 Paradise!"

Number 13: Paradise, Xyz, Rank 4, LIGHT, Spellcaster:

ATK: 2400
DEF: 1600

2 Level 4 monsters

When the effect of a face-up "Number 39: Utopia" on your side of the field activates: you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead. If a face-up "Number 39: Utopia" you control has no Xyz Materials: you can equip this card to that monster as an Equip Card. If this card has any Xyz Materials when you activate this effect: attach those Xyz Materials to the equipped monster. While the equipped monster is equipped with this card: its effects are negated, it cannot be destroyed by battle, and its control cannot switch.

As Paradise looked at Kotori, a sad look was in the LIGHT spellcaster's eyes.

"Kotori…"

Yuma was just shocked to hear the Number on his field speak.

"She can also talk?"

"…I shouldn't have let this happen."

Utopia then looked at Paradise, getting somewhat red in his face, although with a hint of sadness in his expression, which made Yuma confused, until Utopia and Paradise sent him a telepathy message.

"Yuma, defeat her, and the Number."

"No.31 is my dark corrupted copy, where the painful and straining darkness could no longer be suppressed by my original purpose, to keep Kotori from being possessed by her desires."

Yuma then nodded at the two Numbers before looking at Kotori, whose expression switched to a painful one, where she was still being shocked.

"Yuma! Use it!"

"Hang in there Kotori! For my next move, I will activate a Spell Card, the one that you gave me Kotori! Equip Spell, Luminous Xyz!"

Suddenly, as the Spell Card was activated, a bright beam of Light shone down over them, making Utopia and Paradise bask in the light, while Heartbreaker and Kotori hissed and looked away in disgust.

Luminous Xyz, Equip Spell:

This card can only be activated when there are 2 LIGHT Xyz monsters on your side of the field. Detach 1 Xyz material from all face up Xyz monsters with at least 1 Xyz Material attached to them. The monster equipped with this card gains 400 ATK and DEF for each Xyz material that were detached from each monster. If the equipped monster fails to destroy a monster, in battle, you can send this card to the graveyard to activate one of the following effects:

●All monsters on your side of the field lose 1500 ATK. All monsters on your side of the field can attack your opponent directly. If they attack once this turn, this effect applies.

●Select 1 Rank 3 or Higher Xyz Monster on both sides of the field. Destroy it, and inflict damage to the Xyz monster's owner equal to the destroyed monster's ATK.

"How do you like it Heartbreaker? This light is Kotori's, and with it, I'm going to defeat you!"

As the light continued to shine radiantly, the Overlay Units disintegrated into yellow stardust.

"First, an Overlay Unit is removed from all monsters with Overlay Units, so, there goes your last Overlay Unit!"

Luminous Xyz then encompassed the remaining Overlay Units on the field, turning into light that surrounded Utopia. However, No.31 was still on the field.

"Immortal Overlay Blade removes the other unit, while being treated as an Overlay Unit itself! Plus, you can't destroy it in battle!"

"That's not what I'm aiming at and you know it! Now, for each Overlay Unit, Utopia gets a 400 point boost!"

No.39 Utopia:

ATK: 2500 + 800 = 3300

"Oh no!"

"Utopia, let's do this! Kattobingu, daze ore!"

Utopia then took out his two swords, which were brimming in gold and light.

"Luminous Hope Blade!"

The two monsters then clashed swords, creating golden light that pushed Kotori back.

"AGH!"

Kotori: 550 – 200 = 350

"And since I failed to destroy No.31, the second effect of Luminous Xyz is activated!"

Paradise then flew pretty fast in front of Kotori, giving Kotori a scared look.

"No…"

Paradise had a few tears in her eyes, as pink light started building within the staff.

No.13 Paradise:

ATK: 2300 – 1500 = 900

"This better get you back Kotori!"

The pink blast then came out of the staff, making Kotori fly back from the impact, with visible tears rolling down her cheeks.

Kotori: 350 – 900 = 0 LOSE

Yuma: 200 WIN

As the AR space disappeared around them, Astral stuck his hand out.

"Even your closest friends can be infected with their desires."

As a force flowed out of Astral's hand to receive the Number, however, a different force cance;;ed it out, causing a wind wave to push back a little.

"What was that?"

Astral just scowled and stuck his hand out again.

"Now!"

As Astral applied a force to receive the number, this happened.

"I won't let you!"

Suddenly, the same pink humanoid spirit from Chapter 1 appeared out of Kotori's diamond heart jewel thing around Kotori's neck, blocking the force with one hand and throwing something at Astral.

"Astral! Incoming!"

Astral quickly stepped back, or floated back, catching a card that the pink spirit threew.

"What is this?"

Astral turned over the card, looking at it with a shocked expression.

"Only Number 31?"

He growled as he put the Number card away for a second.

"Give us the other one!"

"I won't, and it will not happen."

The pink being then materialized a duel disk, which was very similar to the one Astral used, appeared in the hand of it, before a light blade in a pink color appeared on the edge of the duel disk, creating a-

"HOW THE HECK DOES SHE HAVE A LIGHTSABER?"

Astral then concentrated as well, getting his own duel disk and turning it into a blue lightsaber.

"...what?"

The two beings then started going at each toher, dueling it out with duel disk lightsabers, while Yuma just ran over to Kotori, hoping to wake her up.

"Kotori, wake up!"

As Kotori was in Yuma's arms, trying to be awoken, she stirred only a little.

"C'mon Kotori, you have to be alright!"

As Kotori flittered her eyes open, Yuma smiled.

"You're alright!"

Kotori shrieked in fear, leaping away from him, obvious fear in her eyes.

"Kotori?"

"I…I…"

Suddenly, her head had turned to the right, shocked at what was happening.

"Mia!"

"Mia?"

"Kotori?"

As the pink one, or "Mia" as Kotori called her, turned around, Kotori had tears in her eyes.

"I trusted you, I did what you said was best and possible…"

Everyone looked at her.

"But I still…" she glanced at Yuma, where she had tears that threatened to fall. "I'm not perfect to you…am I Yuma?"

Yuma was just confused.

"What?"

Kotori's tears then fell to the ground, knees shaking.

"It's all my fault…IT'S ALL MY FAULT!"

Turning around, she sprinted away from Yuma, leaving a trail of tears behind her, making it imposed for Yuma to get anything out of her.

"Kotori…"

Meanwhile, Astral and "Mia" just stood there, mysteriously somehow putting their excuse for a lightsaber duel away somewhere, both startled at the upset. Astral cleared his throat, or tried to, breaking the tension.

"Mia, am I correct?"

Mia looked at him and sadly nodded. Yuma stood next to him.

"Could you explain everything?"

Somewhere, local flower shop where the Freesia were grown:

On a bench, Kotori was face down in her hands, crying her heart out.

"I've done too much! I can't go back to him now! All my moves, attempts, and that duel! What I have done was so immoral! So…"

The same voice of Yuma rang in her mind.

"You're not perfect to me…"

"Why? Why did I have to listen to it? What was I thinking? A duel? That was Yuma's specialty! I just did it, and lost I'm useless now! Just forever useless!"

She took out No.13 Empress Love, throwing it to the ground.

"We're both useless! I needed Yuma, and she needed Hope! We both acted like such fools!"

She kept crying, making the sun start to set over Heartland.

Back at the Museum:

Yuma sat a table, looking at Mia, who was seated on the other side of him. No one was around, except for Yuma. Astral stood behind Yuma, also wishing to hear what had to say.

"To start off, as you know, I am Mia, an Astral Being, similar to you, Astral. However, my destiny was already pre-planned, and I have accepted it, where it has already been made to the Gate, and all of Astral World. I was to be betrothed to the Envoy of Astral World,"

Yuma was just shocked, Astral confused at the female being, while Mia slightly blushed and shyly looked at astral with her blue eyes that were similar to Astral's body color.

"Astral, I am your long lost fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Yuma just lost it, and Astral, slowly floated over to Yuma's level.

"Yuma, what is this 'fiancée' that she speaks of?"

Yuma collapsed out of his chair in reaction to his question.

"ASTRAL! Mia is saying that you and her are to and were meant to be married!"

Astral couldn't contain his shock.

"Marriage? TO HER?"

Mia's facial expression became bitter.

"Is that how you talk to your fiancée?"

Yuma then stood up, raising his hands defensively, hoping to vouch for him.

"Hey, whoa calm down, Astral has lost all his memory, so he would have forgotten about that too! Don't get mad at him because he has no memory!"

Mia blushed and sighed.

"Oh…then he forgot about, that…Now, besides that, you are aware of the first Number Card Astral gave to you when he arrived on Earth, am I correct?"

"Yeah, it was Utopia."

Mia again looked at Astral in the eyes.

"To put it, I am just like you, your female double Astral."

Astral raised an eyebrow at the spirit.

"We both have items that we inhabit. Our first Numbers that we gave to Yuma and Kotori, they resemble each other, and are as star-crossed lovers, which you are to me, and…."

Mia started having a few tears.

"If No.13, the symbol of Kotori's pure love is removed from her, then I…I…"

Yuma had a sad expression on his face.

"Just like when Tokunosuke took Utopia away as well…"

Astral solemnly nodded.

"You will die, if you lose in a duel for the Numbers, or No.13 is removed from Kotori…"

Mia cried her spirit type tears, making Astral float over and put a hand on her shoulder.

"That's why we couldn't take No.13, you would disappear."

Yuma then remembered something.

"Hold it then, No.13 and No.31 were dark copies and counterparts to each other. Did you know about it? And if so, why didn't you do anything to help?"

Mia just wiped her eyes, before continuing to speak.

"While that is true, it was beyond my power and Number 13's power to tame and sooth the rising darkness. Her depression, sadness, and her desires, they all had corrupted us, there was nothing we could do with her overpowering desire for you, and fell into being the slave of the Number's darkness."

Yuma was then overcome with sadness.

"So, I was the one who had made her Kotori into that perfection obsessed Number Duelist."

Yuma then thought back to the two kisses he had witnessed in the day. He just sighed at the thought of it.

"Kotori..."

His hand shuffled around in his pocket, pulling out the small freesia he had received earlier in the day.

"She loved Freesia. Maybe...wait, that's it! I know what she desires most!"

Astral looked at him with a confused expression, while Mia managed to crack a smirk at him.

"Tonight, THAT'S TONIGHT!"

Yuma then sprinted on his heels, also replacing the freesia in his hand for a blue and yellow deck box, the night appearing a little in the sky. As he ran through the early darkened skies, he was just talking to himself.

"I just hope it's not too late for it…"

Meanwhile, Back with Kotori:

Kotori was still crying, her eyes soon becoming a bit red.

"He won't take me back, I tried to find something I thought that we both could do at equal skill levels! Mia, and her plan…"

The night before:

"And you, you're just like that being!"

As the pink being stopped and looked around, Kotori was scared at her presence.

"A Number card, and another-"

"Astral being? Indeed."

Kotori stepped back, looking at the diamond border heart jewel, similar to her own heart pendant choker.

"What do you want from me? I know Numbers are nothing but evil!"

"Do you honestly believe that your desire is an evil one at most?"

She gasped, looking at her with a shocked expression.

"Who, are you?"

"My name is Mia, and I inhabit that jewel around your neck."

Mia then sighed, placing a hand to her-would be-heart.

"I am also desiring a significant other young one. I had traveled many light years from over my dimension to fill this void."

Kotori had a slight frown.

"Oh…do you know who you are searching for?"

Mia nodded, turning her head to look at the night sky.

"His name, is Astral."

Kotori wasn't able to hold her shock.

"Astral? Yuma, the one I search for, her has a friend named Astral, who's just like you!"

Mia then started floating all around the room in joy while striking various poses.

"Oh my goodness! Then this is truly how I planned it! No, it's even better! Two star-crossed lovers coming together at one point, and with my knowledge of love, this will be absolutely romantic!"

As Mia kept proclaiming and shouting various phrases and speeches of romance related material into the air, it made Kotori sweat-drop anime style.

"You're a little over-expressive…"

Mia then stopped talking, soon all up in Kotori's face.

"Now listen, if you want help in capturing Yuma's heart, you must share the same interests, as per usual with many lovers."

Mia then noticed something off to the side, in the form of a few cards and a green and blue duel disk that was similar to Yuma's under the moonlight.

"And I think I know what it could be."

Kotori then went over and covered the cards and duel disk up with a piece of cloth.

"What deck?"

Mia just frowned at the pre-teen, making Kotori sigh.

"It's just a small starter deck that I found a month ago. It was being thrown away by somebody, and all it contained was a few spells, traps-"

"We might have our jumping off point, but we need some, love cards."

Kotori looked at Mia confused.

"Love…cards?"

"It will be the first phase of our plan. Then, we duel him, and maybe something else…"

She then started rambling to herself, making Kotori have an anime sweatdrop.

"You maybe a bit exuberant, excessive, and a tad flamboyant," Mia then glanced over her shoulder at looked at Kotori with a frown. "But…" Kotori smiled at her. "I guess you know all about love, so, I will help you, and you'll help me!"

BACK TO PRESENT TYME:

"But I was clearly wrong!"

She took out the Deck of the Maiden.

"I'm just one heartbroken maiden! Just like what happened in reality to Maiden in Love in GX! You can never earn love by pity like she did! They're just all…GAH!"

She threw the deck box at the ground, causing the cards to spread out all over the ground, while she let the tears hit her Xyz Monsters.

"KOTORI!"

As she looked up from the tears, she saw Yuma running to the top of the stairs, where the night was becoming more prominent, causing the lights of where they were to conveniently shine at Yuma while he ran.

"No, not now…"

She didn't want to face him, so she struggled to move, getting her purse and preparing to run.

"Wait, hold on!"

Yuma still was on his feet, already catching up to Kotori, grabbing her arm before she could get away.

"Yuma!"

"You're not leaving me Kotori."

Kotori retracted her hand from his grasp, looking at the ground with a sad expression.

"Why are you doing this to me Yuma? I'm just worthless support now. You saw how we dueled, I'm just a friend now! This-"

"if you think I'm going to ditch someone I really like because she is in a mess of emotions from 'I pretty much crossed a line', you have clearly lost it."

Kotori was just shocked.

"Kotori, you have been the greatest friend, that I've ever had. Always, been there for me, and I always been there for you. There are many things I just love and want to do with you…"

Yuma then bent down and picked up the cards that were on the pavement.

"For one, I loved how you were proving to be an awesome duelist, even when the Numbers came in, my Kattobingu spirit is there I guess."

He held the two deck boxes, giving both to Kotori.

"And with to decks, one thing I want you to have, I would love for us to create one, together."

As she took the blue and yellow deck box out of his hand, her eyes widened as she read the title of the deck.

"Longing…Freesia…"

Yuma blushed a little as he had his hand on a small flower.

"I remembered, that when we kids, we saw a flower shop here. The flowers you liked so much were the Freesia, so…I kinda bought the deck, since I though you would like it because of the Freesia title."

He pulled it out carefully, not wishing to damage the petals.

"Apparently a Freesia came free with the deck."

Kotori put the decks away in her purse, taking the flower inside her hand.

"That's the final thing I like about you. Freesia represented friendship, and I love how close we became over the years."

Kotori took a whiff of the Freesia, smiling at its scent.

"It's just like the first time I smelt it."

Suddenly, a bright light shone from her purse and her jewel.

"What's this?"

A female voice rang in their heads.

"A new symbol of love, the Number has served its purpose…"

Number 13's card then emerged in front of Yuma, while the a card in Kotori's purse flew out in front of her.

"Number 13? Wait, what happened to-"

"I'm fine Yuma."

Yuma looked behind him to see both Astral and Mia there with smiles on their faces.

"Mia! You're ok!"

"The card that you gave Kotori, the cover monster, Yearning Freesia Maiden, it has become the new symbol of both your loves. The Number card can be removed."

Yuma smiled, and so did Kotori, but fireworks were heard above them, making them both realize something really important, that they blurted it out to each other.

"Would you like to got to the dance with me?"

Both of them covered their own mouths before speaking again with a laugh.

"Of course."

Yuma took Kotori by the hand, making both of them run to where the fireworks were coming from.

WDC Opening Ceremony Grounds:

As Yuma and Kotori reached where they wanted to go, they both smiled.

"The Heart Connection Dance…"

As the two gazed around the area, there were many couples varying in different ages, all in this one social gathering, under the night sky and romantic mood set by the colorful lights.

"Shall we?"

Yuma stuck his hand out for Kotori to take. She just giggled.

"Let's."

The song started up, making Yuma wrap his arms around her waist while Kotori had hers around his neck.

Girl, you just caught my eye

thought I should give it a try

and get your name and your number

go grab some lunch and eat some cucumbers

They waddled slowly together somewhat keeping a steady beat to the rhythm.

WHY, DID I SAY THAT?

I don't know why.

But you're smilin' and it's something' I like

on your face, yeah it suits you

Girl, we connect like we have bluetooth

Both had smiles on their faces as they dance with evn though this was their first time dancing with anyone.

I don't know why

I'm drawn to you

Could you be the other one so we'd equal two?

And this is all based on a lucky chance

That you would rather add than subtract?

"So Yuma…"

Yuma looked at her for a minute.

"You have these crazy adventures, you could duel, you're brave, your Kattobingu is admirable, and now another conflict with numbers has been resolved."

Yuma smiled at her.

You and I

could be like Sonny and Cher

honey and bears

you and I

could be like Aladdin and Jasmine

lets make it happen

"But, there's just one thing missing if you want to be a true hero."

Yuma was just confused.

La La's

"Wait, what? That's impossible, what could I be possibly missing?"

Hey

How've you been?

I know that it's been awhile.

Are you tired 'cause you've been on my mind

runnin' thousand and thousands of miles

Sorry, I know that line's outta style

Kotori just smiled at him.

"Well, everyone knows, that a real hero, always has a girl in the end."

But you

You look so beautiful on this starry night

Loving the way the moonlight catches your eyes and your smile

I'm captivated

Your beauty is timeless, never outdated

"Uh, I honestly think that's just a little cliché, don't you?"

Kotori frowned at his statement.

I don't know why

I'm drawn to you

Could you be the other one so we'd equal two?

And this is all based on a lucky chance

That you would rather add than subtract

"But,"

Yuma pulled her closer to his chest.

"Maybe that cliché can work once?"

Kotori looked up in his eyes.

You and I

Could be like Sonny and Cher

Honey and bears

You and i could be like Aladdin and Jasmine lets make

It happen

Yuma looked back into her gold ones, seeing each other's reflections in their eyes.

La La's

As the beats kept going, Kotori and Yuma kept their pace to the beat, meanwhile, the two Astral beings watched off to the side, Astral holding No.31 in his hand.

Babe

It's been 5 years since that special day

when I asked you on our first date

I guess it's safe to say

As Astral absorbed the memories from No.31, he had a vision.

*Vision*

In a somewhat big castle bedroom, all that Astral could make out was the bed, walls, and a pink light in front of him. The pink being had long hair, going past her shoulders and ending near her thighs. It embraced him, meaning that he could feel it, and his vision went white.

*End Vision*

Astral opened his eyes, quickly looking at it with a bit of confusion.

"Just what was that pink being? Could it have been Mia?"

Mia just quickly handed him the next number card while blushing in a scarlet color.

"Go on, get to the next one!"

You and I

Are better than Sonny and Cher

Honey and bears, yeah.

And You and I

Are better than Aladdin and Jasmine

We've made it happen, sing it!

Astral placed his two fingers on the card, encountering another vision, while the song was about to end.

Lalalalalala

*Vision*

In this one, Astral was standing in front of the same pink being, both at a small altar of some sort, in space. Bells rang in the background, and a melodious harmony was singing in the background. As Astral looked around, he could see other blue and pink being around, all seeming to cheer for him. A voice then rang out to him, which caught his attention.

"You may now kiss each other, signifying your unison."

Suddenly, Astral and the pink being in front of him moved in unison together, planting lip upon lip, and ending the vision in a bright flash of light.

*End Vision*

As Astral shot is eyes open, Mia was looking away with a small blush visible on her, as well making him turn away and blush with a small smile on hi face, looking at the couple below them.

Let me say

You look so beautiful on our wedding day

As the notes of the song died down, Yuma and Kotori stayed in the same position as they were, their eyes full of intimacy.

"You know what to do, right Yuma?"

Yuma leaned in, uttering one part of his signature phrase.

"Katto…"

Kotori closed her eyes, reciting the rest, and pressing her lips to his own.

"bingu…"

As the couple kissed, Astral and Mia smiled as it unfolded, with two Xyz monsters beside them.

"Observation #22, love, regardless of what type of love," he put an arm around Mia's waist causing them to blush. "Everyone needs and can feel it. Even me…"

Mia and Astral looked at each other, before pulling together and kissed passionately.

First, it's sad to see the ZEXAL section not updated in awhile. Second, this story comes to a close. I love this story to death. It is complete and a fic I am most proud of. However, there were some cuts and edits that had to be made to this juggernaut of a chapter. For example, I forgot to add 2 scenes in this chapter, that being the symbol of love and Astral's memory sequence. Over 9000 words in one chapter! Sweet Astral world! Now, I guarantee that this won't be my last ZEXAL Fic for me. In fact, after I finish a couple chapters, namely my 1 year anniversary fic, Seeing is Believing and Evolution of Chaos, I will be posting my second skyshipping fic, "Swapping Numbers With My Maiden" a pseudo-sequel to this story, however, it will be a body swap fic. Oh yeah, can't wait! So, on that note, a fun fact! This has the same amount of chapters as a Numbershot, and takes the same amount of time for vile to complete up to 5 fics! Finally, check out a few authors such as, Seeker Heart and her Queen of Games, K.I.T.T. RIDER's Crimson Ice, Tsukuyomi-chan and her stories of Light in the Black Mist, the owner of Kurai, Stardust Finex, the all powerful god of ZEXAL, Vile, and the not so powerful, Me! Subscribe to them with author alerts, And I'm just rambling. Finally, check out my website! It's just on my profile page, at the top. Finally, I'd just like to thank all those who had supported me throughout this entire fic, and Vile for beta-reading some of these chapters to me. I'd like to thank all those who liked my Birthday Fic to vile, which introduced me to a lot of cool people that usually reviewed Vile, and finally, I would like to thank the entire Franchise, for it is still awesome, despite its flaws. (I'm looking at you, Episode 54.) Anyways, I'll be posting artwork of Mia on my website if you'd like to get a better image. Cookies to those who can guess the song name and artist! BYE!
