"I guess that Melhana's kicking Jack's butt" Leo exclaimed, showing some very lame kung-fu moves.

Aoi sighed. "You don't have the slightest idea how martial arts work, do you?" She asked.

---

"One question," Jack said.

"What is it now?" Melhana asked irritably.

"How am I supposed to access my power? I only know how to use one skill, and that's the Crimson Shield." Jack said.

"That's what training is for genius." Melhana replied sourly. "Now, try it again."

Jack glared at her then got up. "I'm just going to get thrown to the ground again." He grumbled, but tried the maneuver again anyway. He ran at Melhana, did a fient, which Melhana dodged, and then--while supporting himself with his hand--aimed a kick at Melhana's head. She grabbed hold of his leg and threw him into the wall.

Jack groaned as he slid to the ground. "See? That time you ended up in the wall instead of on the floor." Melhana said. "You were too slow."

"I have to agree with you Aoi" Luna sighed.

"Leo," Aoi said, "do you honestly think that flailing of your arms and legs is any kind of self-defense?"

"What do you mean by that?" Leo asked.

Aoi sighed. "I'll show you." She said, getting up and walking to the training mat. "Try and hit me."

"All right!" Leo said and followed Aoi. Then he ran and threw a punch.
"Something tells me that it's not going to end well" Luna said.

"Nope." Judai sighed. And sure enough, it didn't.

Aoi blocked the punch, grabbed Leo's arm, and promptly flipped him and he slammed to the ground on his back. All without breaking a sweat.

"Hey, I wasn't ready yet" Leo moaned.
"He always says that" Luna sighed.

"If you weren't ready yet then you shouldn't have struck." Aoi said. "First rule of martial arts; there is no such thing as 'I wasn't ready yet' once you strike."

Leo groaned.
"I knew that saying it was a bad idea" Luna sighed yet again.

"Wow. No wonder she's a gold-medalist." Crow said as Leo picked himself up off the ground. Aoi walked back towards the group, adjusting her hakama.

---

Once again, Jack attempted the same maneuver, and once again he ended up hitting the wall. And again. And again. And again. Finally, he picked himself up off the ground, groaned as he rubbed a sore spot in the middle of his lower back.

"Well, I think that's enough of a warmup." Melhana said. Jack gawked at her.

"A warmup?!" He blurted out.

Even Leo's foolishness didn't cheer Akiza up. It will take ALOT more than that to cheer her up.

Aoi thought for a moment, the decided to humiliate Judai while cheering Akiza up. After all, it had happened after graduation, and the whole lot from Duel Academy were of age...

"Hey, Akiza, want to hear about Judai's first incident with sake?" She asked.

Akiza shook her head.
"No thank you" she said quietly.

Aoi sat back. "You still going to compete in the tournament?" She asked Akiza.

"I don't know. I just don't know" Akiza replied.

Aoi sighed. "Competing might help Yusei wake up." She said. "I know what he told us. But that doesn't mean that it won't do some kind of good." She looked at her arm, where she could see the head of the Crimson Dragon on her arm. "I'd compete as well, but training for the Olympics has been running me ragged."

Just then, Sharaia burst into the gym.
"I just had a horrid vision. One of you are going to kill Yusei" she said painting.

"What?!" Crow blurted out. "You're kidding! Aoi, tell me she's kidding!"

Aoi hand her hand on her Tauk and her eyes closed. After a moment she opened them. "I can't say for sure, but Saharia's right. Or partially right." She replied. "All I saw was blood. Lots of blood. Yusei's blood. I can't say for sure whether or not he's dead though...."

"Funny you should use that Aoi. I guess you didn't see yourself with Yusei's blood on your hands" Sharaia said.

Aoi's dark grey eyes turned cold towards Saharia. "Then I guess you didn't know that I can't see the futures of anyone who wields a Star's or Millennium Item." She said. "And besides, no future is set in stone. The future or futures we have seen are only possibilities. There's no guarentee they'll happen."

"I'm trying to say is that you are the one who is going to kill him, or at least try. By what I saw, you succeeded" Saharia coldly resorted back. The whole room went silent.
"Selena also saw it with her Demon Eye but a small snippet of it" Saharia added, "but you can change that if you wish. I don't want you to become a murderer."

Everyone was silent for several minutes. "A-Aoi?" Crow finally asked hoarsly.

"I won't become a murderer." Aoi replied. She picked up her bokuto and sports bag. She swept out of the room, not meeting anyone's gaze. "I'm taking a shower. I smell like hell after that workout."

"There is one way that Aoi can help Yusei without killing him. The dark version of Ashleigh back and this time, she's more human like and she got a scythe this time. If we are able to get Aoi to withdraw at the right time, The scythe will touch Yusei and get rid of the dark side of him once and for all, which our Yusei will return and have his position as the head signer will resume" Saharia said.
