Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Astral Twins ❯ Chapter 4: 1 down, 3 to go ( Chapter 5 )

SailorStar9: Hey people, this is the fifth chapter of this series. In this, Ryou finally gets his memories back. And Anzu is jealous! What would be install for our kawaii couple?

MAJOR FLUFF AHEAD! For those people who aren't the romantic type, STAY AWAY!!!!

~ 2 hours and lots of grumbling later ~

Anzu looked around at the group gathered and asked, "Where's Jonouchi?"

"Most probably late AGAIN." Honda answered.

"Sorry, guys got held up." Jonouchi came running towards the group, gasping for air.

"Never mind." The group chorused.

"Hey, how are we supposed to go to Kaiba's house anyway?" Yuugi asked.

"Er . . . well . . ."

"Honk, honk." A car horn sounded.

Everyone turned their heads. Kaiba stepped out of the car.

"Anyone want a ride?" (Very OOC indeed)

Glancing at the group, Ami reasoned, "What choice do we have? We either take his offer or we could walk there."

Looking at the vehicle, Anzu reasoned, "There isn't enough room for all of us."

"Not quite." Ami countered and shot a look at the three yami spirits. Catching on what she meant, the three spirits disappeared into their respective Items. The seating problem solved, the group trooped into Kaiba's vehicle. Offering a hand to Ami, Kaiba said "Ladies first." Ami smiled and said "Thanks" before whispering, "You do know HE is going to hate you for that." Ryou growled inwardly and frowned. Inside his soulroom, Bakura felt his hikari's emotions. "Aibou is jealous? That's new."

~Half and hour later~

The group finally arrived at their destination.

"Big brother!" Mokuba exclaimed, running towards he group.

Turning to Kaiba, Ami asked. "Mokuba, I take it?" Kaiba nodded.

Kneeling to Mokuba's height. Ami offered a handshake and said "Nice to meet you, Mokuba."

Taking her hand, Mokuba answered, "The pleasure is all mine."

The instant their palms touched, Mokuba felt a jolt and remembered who he used to be. Back them .he was Kaiba's younger brother (still). Due to his young age, Mokuba was appointed as an errand boy in the Astral Realm.

By then, the rest of the group was already half-way across the compound. Standing up, Ami mouthed to Mokuba, "Good to see you again, little one," before running to catch up the others along with Mokuba.

~ The Fluff Starts ~

~After changing~

Ryou smiled as the others jumped into the pool. He quickly chose a spot in the shade and pulled out a book to read.

"Not joining the others?" a honeysuckle voice questioned.

Ryou's head snapped towards the voice. Hazel met violet. Realizing whom he was talking to, Ryou shook his head.

Glancing at the book cover, Ami remarked, "Grimm's Fairy Tales? I never knew you were into that stuff, Bakura-san."

"This is just a book for reading pleasure, Motou-san." Ryou answered.

"Ami." Ami said.

"Huh?" Ryou was confused.

"Call me Ami, and drop the -san." Ami replied.

"Only if you call me Ryou and drop the -san likewise." Ryou countered.

"Deal." Ami replied, laughing. Ryou raised an eyebrow and catching on the joke, he laughed along. (I don't get the joke. Do you?)

Pretty soon, their laughter reached the pool. "Looks like my sister opened HIM up." Yuugi remarked. "Yeah, none of us has been able to do that." Jonouchi replied. Anzu glared at the laughing pair and growled inwardly. SHE should be the one to open Ryou up. Now that the damn girl appeared, it ruins everything. Anzu had a large crush on the silver-haired teen ever since he showed up in Domino High School. And now, the only thing between her and her crush was Yuugi's sister.

~ Back to Ryou and Ami ~

"Back to the question. Why aren't you joining them?" Ami pointed to the pool.

"Err . . . I . . .don't" Ryou stuttered.

"Know how to swim?" Ami finished.

Ryou blushed and nodded. (I need an excuse for them to bond, okay?)

"I will teach you." Ami replied.

Ryou looked at her questioningly.

"I was the star swimmer back in my former school." Ami explained. "Shall we?" Ami offered her hand.

Ryou gingerly took it (a little too forward?) and she pulled him up.

Standing up, Ryou caught a good look at her swimsuit. Ami was wearing an ice-blue halter-neck one piece. Ryou blushed (someone has been blushing TOO much) when he caught sight of her bare back. Ami's blue hair was tied up in a tight ponytail at the back of her head.

Ryou quirked a brow at Ami when she removed her necklace (the music box, ppl), her silver ring and bracelet (will be explained later) and placed them on the side table. He chose not to question her. (Some people are just too polite.)

Ami turned to the pool and shouted "Kaiba, Ryou and I are going to the other end, okay?"

Kaiba shouted back, "Sure, how come?"

Ami responded, "Let's just say I am going to give Ryou his first swimming lesson."

"Swimming lesson? I am not going to ask." Kaiba wondered.

Pulling Ryou with her, Ami headed to the other end of the pool. Ami slipped into the water and dunked herself in, resurfacing a few seconds later. She looked up at Ryou who has not touched the water. "It looks deep." Ryou answered her unasked question. "Ryou, it is only the refraction of water. (Physics ppl)" Ami stated matter-of-factly. Gulping, Ryou climbed down into the water. Ami shot a look that said, "What did I tell you?" at him.

"Okay, first things first. You have to learn how to breathe under water." Ami instructed. Ami dunked herself in the water again and resurfaced 3 minutes later. After several unsuccessful attempts (let's just say Ryou always comes up spluttering for air), he finally got it right. "Second, float." Ami stated simply. Grabbing his hands and placing them on the wall edge, Ami instructed Ryou to lie face down in the water and relax. A few minutes later, he grasped the concept with Ami's occasional reminder to kick the water.

"Good." She complimented. "Step 3, combine the first 2 steps together. I will help you on this one." Taking his hands, Ami guided Ryou across the pool, carefully avoiding the water battle that had taken place. Once back to the wall, Ami said "Enough for today." Ryou signed inwardly. He had actually enjoyed the time he spent with her, he was a little disappointed that it had ended so soon.

The 2 teens got out of the water and walked back to the rest of the group. On their way back, Ami slipped and would have fell if Ryou had not caught her in time. Grabbing her waist, Ryou had stabilized her, and in the midst of it, planted an accidental kiss on her lips. Ami's eyes widened. She tried to pull back, but Ryou's arms had tightened around her waist, deepening the kiss in the process. "What the hell." Ami thought. Her eyes fluttered shut as she returned the kiss and threw her arms around his neck. Unknowst to the others, Ami's star symbol had started glowing, engulfing the 2 kissing teens in a silvery ball of light.

A few minutes later, the light faded and the pair had broken off for air. Panting, Ami laid her head on Ryou's shoulder as he hugged her tight. Snooping down, Ryou whispered in her ear "Ashiteru, my star princess." Ami's eyes widened. She looked up at her past life's intended and asked softly "You remembered?" Ryou smiled and nodded. Happily, Ami threw herself at him and the new couple hugged each other again.

With that, the couple walked hand-in-hand back to the group.

The water battle halted abruptly when the group saw the newly reunited couple walk back towards them.

Yami, Bakura, Marik and Kaiba smirked, Anzu growled, and Mokuba grinned. The couple is finally back together!

Turning to her fiancé in the past, Ami was about to ask something, when Ryou sealed her lips in another kiss. Taken slightly aback by his boldness, Ami asked when they broke off "Whatever brought that on?" "I just missed you after 5000 years of separation." Ryou shrugged it off. Ami smiled and frowned suddenly. Turning her back, she got into a defensive position. Sensing something was wrong, Kaiba ordered the group out of the water. Turning her head, she said "Get to the others, I will handle this one." Ryou nodded and went to the group.

"Zoicite, I know you are there. Show yourself." Ami shouted. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it isn't the banished Mercury." Zoicite taunted. "You are wrong, Zoicite, I am not Mercury any more." Ami retorted. "Conversations aside, Dread sent you, didn't he?" Ami asked. "You are right as always, my dear." Zoicite answered as he fired a dark energy shot at Ami.

Ami smirked as she held up her hand. The attack vanished on immediate contract with the invisible shield. Raising the same hand, an ice shard floated on Ami's palm. Thrusting her hand forward, Ami fired hundreds of ice shards at Zoicite. Zoicite screamed in pain with the ice hit him, hard. Meanwhile, Ami jumped into the air and somersaulted. When she landed, she was in her former battle dress (No it is not her sailor fuku). It was a halter-neck (what is with me and halter-neck clothes? Never mind) white dress with a slit high enough that her right upper thigh showed. Crossing her hands above her head, a ball of ice formed at the intersection. Uncrossing her hands, an arc of ice appeared above her head. Kneeling down, with her hands on her sides, Ami shouted "Icicle Blaze! (MKR attack)." Thousands of ice pieces shot towards the still recovering Zoicite. Terribly weakened by the last attack, Zoicite knelt down on one knee. "Time to finish this." Ami said as the Mercurious staff appeared on her hand. Drawing the Mercurian sign on the groud, Ami slammed the staff right in the middle of the magic circle. Shouting "Mercurious Gate," an ice-blue gate appeared behind Zoicite, swallowing him to god knows where. After that, the door closed and disintegrated, leaving behind snowflakes. (Think HolyAngemon's Heaven's Gate from Digimon 01. I don't own Digimon either.)

Ami let out a sigh in relief. "That wasn't too difficult." Ryou had come up, hugging her from behind. "Not bad, my warrior princess." he complimented. Elbowing him playfully in the stomach, Ami retorted, "I am not Zena, you know."

Kaiba smiled at the scene, before shouting "You 2 lovebirds better come in. It is going to rain." "Do we look like birds to you?" Ami countered. Dragging his love with him, Ryou replied, "Come on, koi, besides Kaiba is right. It is going to rain."

"Wait a second." Ami released herself from Ryou's embrace. Grabbing her jewellery, she ran in, just when the first droplets of rain fell.

Once inside, Ryou and Ami excused themselves to change back into their street clothes. Once everybody has settled in, Honda suggested that they played something suitable for indoors. Lots of suggestions and ideas flew around, before Yuugi settled for the perfect answer "Truth or dare." he stated plainly.
