Okay, last chapter. Shadgirl2 didn't help with the duel because she said I needed all the practice writing duels that I can get. Boo, Shadgirl2. Anyway, she did help with the rest of this. Shadgirl2, since you haven't seen the duel yet, let me know how I did (in a review, of course). Enjoy! We don't own Yugioh GX.

"It's my turn! Draw!" Asuka took a moment to examine her situation—no cards on the field, 700 life points left, and Judai had Avian and Burstinatrix on the field, plus one face down card. No doubt that set card is meant to counter any attacks I wage this turn.

"I activate Polymerization to fuse my Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to summon Cyber Blader!" (Atk 2100)

A female monster with red and blue skin and long blue hair materialized on Asuka's field.

"That monster again, huh?" Judai said, smiling. "Haven't seen her in awhile."

"Well, she hasn't seen you in awhile either," Asuka answered. "And she's ready to catch up! You remember her effect, don't you? If you have two monsters, her attack is doubled. (Atk 4200) So, Cyber Blader, attack his Elemental Hero Avian!"

"You activated my trap, Hero Barrier! This negates one of your attacks as long as there's a face-up Elemental Hero on my field!"

"I set one card face down and end my turn."

"My turn! Draw! I activate Pot of Greed, which let's me draw two cards." Looking over his hand cards, Judai smiled—this might work. "I sacrifice Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Bladedge! (Atk 2600) With only one monster on my field, your Cyber Blader's attack goes back down to 2100!"

"But she can't be destroyed in battle if you control only one monster," Asuka pointed out.

"Yeah, I know. But you still take damage. Bladedge attacks your Cyber Blader!"

"Not so fast, Judai! I activate Hallowed Life Barrier! By discarding one card from my hand, I negate the damage," she said, sending the last card in her hand to the graveyard.

Judai grinned. "Just what I'd expect from you, Asuka. I end my turn."

Asuka drew her card, taking a quick look at it before saying, "I activate Pot of Greed!" Drawing two more cards, she said, "Now, I activate Machine Angel Ritual! I'll sacrifice my Cyber Blader to summon Cyber Angel Idaten!" (Atk 1600)

Judai blinked. "Uh, Asuka? That has less attack points than Bladedge."

"I know, Judai. But she has a special ability. When I summon her, I get to add a Spell card from my graveyard to my hand, and I choose Ritual Weapon!"

"So that's the card you sent to the graveyard when you activated Hallowed Life Barrier."

"Right. Now, I'll equip my Ritual Weapon to Idaten, raising her attack and defense by 1500! (Atk 3100) Now, Cyber Angel Idaten, attack Bladedge!"

Judai: 2500
Asuka: 700

"That ends my turn."

"Okay, then. It's my move!" Judai drew his card. "I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode! (800) When he's the only card I control, I get to draw two more cards! Next, I activate Metamorphosis! So, I'll sacrifice Bubbleman to summon Neo Bubbleman! (Atk 800) Then I equip him with Bubble Blaster! This raises my monster's attack by 800." (Atk 1600)

"It still can't beat my Idaten," Asuka said.

Judai grinned. "Yeah, but I'm going to go for it anyway! Neo Bubbleman, attack her Cyber Angel Idaten!"

"What!?"

The Hero fired his weapon at Idaten, dealing no damage whatsoever. Instead, the blaster he had was destroyed.

"Judai, I know that Bubble Blaster prevents you from taking any damage and keeps your monster from being destroyed, but what are you going for here?"

"You forgot about Neo Bubbleman's effect, didn't you? When he battles a monster, that monster is destroyed after damage calculation!"

Asuka's eyes widened—she had forgotten about that! Because of that effect, Idaten was destroyed, even though nobody took any battle damage from the exchange.

"I think I'll leave it at that. It's your turn, Asuka," Judai said.

"Draw." She glanced at her hand, then said, "I summon Cyber Gymnast in defense mode. (1800) That ends my turn."

"Back to me, then," Judai said, drawing his card. "I activate Miracle Fusion! This lets me fuse monsters on my field or in my graveyard by removing them from play. So, I'll remove Avian and Bubbleman to summon Elemental Hero Mariner!" (Atk 1400)

"It's attack is lower than my monster's defense," Asuka protested.

"Right again, Asuka! But Mariner has a special ability," Judai said, holding up the last card in his hand tauntingly. "So, I set one card face down. When I have a face-down, Mariner can attack directly! So, I think this duel's over! Mariner, attack Asuka's life points!"

Judai: 2500
Asuka: 0

Striking his signature pose, Judai said, "Gotcha! That was a fun duel, Asuka!"

"Bad pose, considering..." Yubel was, of course, referring to the finger gun pointing at the girl he had been arrested for assaulting.

Oh, be quiet, Judai told her.

"Judai, that reminds me," Asuka said, giggling a little. "Do you still want to know what a fiance is? You know, that prize you won way back then?"

Glad that somebody was finally going to answer him, he said, "Actually, yeah, I do. What was I dueling that guy for anyway?"

Asuka smiled evilly, knowing how Judai would react to her answer. "Marriage."

Judai stared at her for a moment, his expression blank, and Asuka wondered for a moment if he even knew what that meant. Then, his eyes widened, his jaw dropped—he looked about as shocked as when Rei had suddenly fallen for him instead of the Kaiser.

"W-what!?" he exclaimed. So I won her hand in marriage!? Oh, man, no wonder she was so ticked off about me accepting that duel!

"A fiance is the person who you're going to marry, either by choice or through an arranged marriage. Judai, by accepting that duel, you fought for me. Kind of like what Misawa and Tania did when they dueled. You chose to be with me forever if you won."

Figuring that she wasn't too upset about this anymore, he asked, "Doesn't that kinda mean you're cheating on me, dating Kanda?"

Smiling, Asuka said, "Well, no, since you did leave me. You technically broke it off then. I mean, I never thought I'd see you again, let alone marry you." She paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, Judai. A deal's a deal. I'll drop the charges and call Kado and ask him to as well."

"Great. And, if he won't, can you ask Manjoume to bail me out? He'll do anything you ask."

"Don't worry. I think he was planning on it!"

Judai looked mildly stunned for a moment before grinning and saying, "Right, he still wants to duel me!"

Asuka laughed. "Typical Manjoume! I bet he wouldn't bail you out if you needed it unless you did duel him, too!"

Judai joined in her laughter. "Yeah, probably not," he said, calming down. "He wouldn't take me to Duel Academy unless I dueled him...until I brought you into it."

"Okay," Asuka said, trying to stop laughing. "I'll go call this crazy thing off. Just hold on a little longer, okay?"

"Okay. Don't worry about me. It's actually not so bad here."

"Again, only you..."

Asuka laughed again before going to inform the guard that they were through with their duel. Judai was taken back to his cell while Asuka called Kanda and asked him to drop the charges.

"He just wanted to talk, okay?" she said. "Honestly, with how I'd been treating him, I can't say I blame him at all for getting that frustrated."

"Well, if it's okay with you, then I guess I can let it slide," Kanda said.

Judai was just lying on his bed when the officer came. "Judai Yuki, you're free to go. They're not pressing charges."

Even though he was free from police custody, he still couldn't leave the station—Manjoume was blocking the way, looking furious.

"Judai, you idiot! Getting arrested for attacking Tenjoin-kun, worrying us all to death... I won't forgive you!" he said. "You're gonna pay up through a duel!"

Judai sighed, knowing this was just his latest excuse for why they had to duel. "Okay, Manjoume, but can we take this outside? There's no room to duel in here."

"You think I don't know that!?" Manjoume said, obviously insulted. "I'm just making sure you can't run away from my challenge again! You've already done it twice! Well, this time, you aren't going anywhere until you accept it!"

"Well, I don't have anywhere else I need to be right now, and I did say I'd duel you, didn't I?"

"Then let's go, Judai! You and me! At the clock tower! Got it!?"

Judai grinned. "It's on, Manjoume!"

Before he could leave, Asuka said, "Judai, about that prize you won..."

Judai blinked, then looked at Asuka. "Huh?"

"The one back then? I...would...love to..." What was she saying!? "I-if you want to, that is! It's okay if you don't!" She was blushing furiously by this point. What was she saying, that she wanted to be a prize won in a duel? No, of course not! But, if Judai was interested, they could start dating or something.

Judai blushed. "Uh, I-er..."

"Go ahead," Yubel said. "I'll be nice."

"Uh, how about we just go see a movie or something later?" Judai asked, feeling rather self-conscious—he had never asked a girl out on a date before, so he wasn't sure how to do it.

"Smooth, Judai. Real smooth." Yubel's sarcastic tone was not appreciated.

Cut me some slack! Judai told her. This is the first time I've done this.

Asuka ignored the awkwardness of his invitation. "Sounds good to me," she said, smiling.

Judai smiled back at her.

"Oh, Aniki..." Sho and Kenzan said together.

"You think he'll be okay?" Sho asked. "This is so new to him."

"He should just stick to dueling," Manjoume said. "I bet he blows it on the first date."

Kenzan tried to have a little more faith. "It should be all right. Every time Aniki jumps head first into something new, he always gets a good result."

"I hope your right," Sho said, sounding unsure.

"Anyway, Judai!" Manjoume called. "Stop staring at Tenjoin-kun and let's go already!"

Startled, Judai said, "Oh, right!" before running off with Manjoume for their duel.

Asuka sighed. It had taken her four years, but she finally let him know how she felt, even though she hadn't actually said it yet. But, hey, they were going on their first date soon. They'd get to the rest later.

That was when she realized she didn't have any way to get in touch with him, and he hadn't said when their date was.

"Judai, wait!" Asuka called, running after him.

Hope you enjoyed it! Oh, and for those of you who wanted a sequel to that one story, it's in the process of being written, so we'll get that going soon! For now, review! XD
