Chapter 5
Pencil scratches echoed in the silent room as the girl wrote something down on a piece of paper. Psy was laying on Yuna's bed, face down, as he groaned and mumbled out complaints.
"Aughhhhhhhhhhhh..... Ughhhhhh... HRMMMM..."
Slightly getting annoyed at her buddy, she finally turned over to where he was laying. "You know you can tell me what is on your mind instead of mumbling stuff into my pillow where I don't understand you at all."
"immoreeedddddddd.... Izdisssallyudoonweekendssss....?"
Yuna raised her brow a bit, trying to comprehend what the shrunken dragon just said. "..... I'm sorry, what was that?" Finally lifting his head off from the pillow, his complaint was now loud and clear. Too loud to the point where the neighbors were able to hear him. "I'M BOREDDDDDDDDDDDDD! IS THIS ALL YOU DO ON WEEKENDS?"
Sighing and looking back at what she wrote, she responded back to him. "I don't do much on any days of the week actually.... How about going out later, okay? After I finish this though." Looking at her with a spark in his eyes, he sat straight up on her bed.
"YEAH! GOOD DEAL. I'LL SIT HERE AND WAIT PATIENTLY." Shaking her head, she turned back to the piece of paper, allowing her pencil to touch the sheet once more.
A few seconds after the girl started to write, a voice was heard in a distant.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE. OHHHH... FASTER JACK WE ONLY NEED TO BE A BIT CLOSER TO HIM..... THERE! BUDDY POLICE BARRIER, ON!"
Yuna laughed at the voice, knowing that it belonged to a certain someone. Looking out the open window, she saw the blue headed boy, jumping in success.
"AWW YEAHH! FINALLY!"
'Is this kid really a buddy police officer?' Yuna saw the criminal mouth to his buddy. Sighing and shaking his head, Jack noticed that they were in front of Yuna's house and looked up to see her watch the scene. Winking as she put a finger to her lips, she walked away from the window for little while and came back with a tied up bag in her hand, setting it down on her desk. As Tasuku celebrated his small victory, a voice came through his communicator.
'Tasuku, don't forget about the objective of this job!' Stopping his dance, he raised his hand up to his communicator.
"Right, right.. Sorry."
'Some 11 year old kid you are, haha! You're like a 9 year old kid all over again!' the voice buzzed. Tasuku grinned a cheeky grin to no one particular, still unaware of Yuna.
"Alright, mister. You have two choices in my point of view. Either come with me quietly... Or have a buddyfight challenge with me."
The criminal stayed quiet for a few seconds and then burst out laughing. "Challenge? You? You're kidding me, kid! Hahahahahaha! This is a really good joke! A kid as a buddy police officer? It's like the whole force is made up of kids!"
Yuna frowned at that outburst. 'I bet he's able to kick your butt like how he did with mine. You might not even last as long as I did...' Tasuku stood his ground and smirked. "Oh? Then why don't I prove to you that this ISN'T a joke." His voice got more serious and cold as he glared at the criminal making him flinch. "W-well prove it then! I accept!"
"You made the wrong choice!"
A few minutes in the game, Tasuku pulled out a card Yuna never seen him used or held.
"YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!" Psy decided to join Yuna and watch what was going on outside.
"He-"
Yuna slapped a hand over his mouth before he could fully call out for Tasuku.
"Shh.. Not now.."
"IMPACT CARD!"
The criminal, shocked at what was happening before him, started taking a step back. A gigantic flaming sword appeared above Tasuku as he readied to signal the drop alongside with Jack.
"TREMBLE BEFORE THIS CARD! GARGANTUAAA... PUNISHERRR!"
As the sword smashed through everything before its path, it left a trail of flames around the area it hit. Several police cars came by in front of the house to take in the criminal as the buddy police barrier slowly disappeared along with the flames.
'Can you let go of me yet? It's getting hard to breathe hereeee....' the dragon choked out.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that."
Gasping for air, Psy got onto the desk and poked his head out of the window. "Hey, kid! Nice moves you got there!"
Looking over to where the voice was being projected from, he finally realized why the area looked so familiar. "You didn't see everything... did you?" Smiling at the boy, Yuna nodded.
"Oh, yes, we did."
Rubbing at his neck bashfully, his cheeks started to turn red. "Does that also mean you saw me jumping and dancing like an idiot..?"
"You got that right~! Hahaha!"
Tasuku blushed a deeper shade of red as he turned away from the girl. 'Oh great...' he mumbled.
"Hey Tasuku-kun!"
Looking back at the girl, a bag was tossed at him as his instinct allowed him to catch it without fail. "What's this?" Slightly closing the window a bit, she tilted her head.
"A little reward, what not? You should get back to work now." Giggling as she returned to her seat, she heard Tasuku yell out "Alright, thanks! I'll see you later, maybe!" Shaking her head, she called back out to the boy.
"Okay, bye then!"
Nodding at his buddy, he flew off back to headquarter. "You know, you're doing pretty well for a new recruitment and for your age." Looking over at Jack, he smiled a proud smile. "Oh? You think so?" he said as he pulled out a pork bun and some water from the bag.
"I'm finally finished. Do you want to walk for a bit now, Psy?"
As the dragon perked up, he immediately flew to the door and said, "Yes! Let's go! Come on!" Laughing at her buddy, she left the room to get her keys.
"Okay, then let's go."
As the two walked around a nearby park, the dragon decided to break the silence. "Have you ever wondered what a buddy skill is like?"
Looking over at the dragon, she shook her head. "Well, actually, no really.."
"How about now?"
The girl looked at the dragon, confused. "Now that you mentioned it, kind of..."
Eyes widening all of a sudden, she blinked several times as she stopped in her tracks. "Please don't tell me it's like Tasuku-kun's buddy skill.."
Psy looked at the girl with amusement. "Not everybody's buddy skill is flying. Do you want to find out what your buddy skill is? You seem quite ready for it." Yuna felt her stomach drop, afraid that it was something that dealt with heights. "You do know that I'm afraid of heights, right...?"
"I'm well aware!"
"DON'T SOUND TOO HAPPY!"
Psychic Knife Dragon looked at the sky for a bit. "You do know you have to get over your fears sooner or later? I mean, look. Tasuku has the capability to fly and that's his way of travel, so if he ever brings you anywhere, you'd be in air along with him."
Yuna's face drained color realizing that her buddy monster was right about this. "Alright, already.... So, what is our skill?" The dragon grinned in victory.
"Take out your core deck."
As Yuna took out her core deck and held it against the left side of her neck, the gadget turned into a pair of loose goggles that dangled around her neck. As the dragon looked at the core gadget, 2 pairs of mini dragon wings appeared on both sides her ankles. "So.... what is our skill?"
"How about.... try running from here to that tree." Yuna looked over to where the dragon pointed at. Running to the tree from where she stood would take about 2 minutes, but she wondered why she had to run to a tree.
"How long do you think it will take for you to get there? A good 2 minutes?"
As Yuna lifted up her foot and set it in front of the other before picking it up, she covered about a good third of the distance in an instant. "It... it feels like... I'm.. leaping? So my skill is about speed, right?" The dragon flew over to her.
"That's not all now try jumping."
"Jump...ing..?"
"Yep! Jump up the tree and off one of the branches."
As she did what he told her to do, she jumped up to the tree and onto one of the highest branch that she didn't struggle to reach, allowing her to double jump and leaving a ripple effect below her foot. Trying not to look down, she felt tears prick at the corner of her eyes.
"IT'S.. IT'S TOO HIGH!"
As she began to drop, arms suddenly wrapped around her and brought her down.
"What were you doing up there? Practicing a double jump or something? Haha, you do need to be careful despite your disadvantage of heights." Opening up her bright golden eyes and looking at crimson ones, she blushed madly before thanking him quietly.
"I wasn't really practicing.... Psy here wanted to show me our buddy skill and I agreed with him.."
Tasuku laughed again and let go of the girl. "You still need to be careful, but I'll be here to help you now, if you like?" Looking over at Tasuku, the girl nodded as her aqua green hair swayed along with her head.
"Yes please. That would be great."
