Nee-san, I need you
I am by your side
It was back in the past where Yubel and Jaden were still children. Jaden was about to be crowned the Supreme King of the Dark world and by his side would be his protector, Yubel. Jaden's father did not wish for Jaden to become the supreme king at a such a young age since he didn't know that he was merely a vessel for the power of darkness. Jaden had a great destiny ahead of him, he would use the power of darkness to restore balance and defeat the dark light but he was only a child and didn't know how to tap into his powers yet. But he needed to learn the power of responsibility and to rule, so Jaden required a guardian to protect him and his powers for generations and that was why Yubel decided to receive the dragon heart and transform herself into a duel spirit, to protect the boy that would someday bring balance to the universe. Many of the people however disagreed that a child should have been the one to take over the throne at an early age, they believed that he would let his country down. They didn't know that Jaden had a great destiny ahead of him but wanted to do whatever they could to stop him.
It was chaos at the castle of dark world, Jaden and his family was being under attack by the shadow army. They wanted to kill all of Jaden's family line so that they could take the riches and the throne for themselves, Jaden was meant to be the next heir to the throne and the kingdom. But the shadow army couldn't stand on having a child as their ruler so they tried to replace him by force. The guards were doing their best to defend the castle but they were defeated since they were taken by surprise attack.
Yubel was with Jaden at all times, she kept on using her shadow magic to defeat all the soldiers which came after them. Yubel quickly flew into the sky and sent out two waves of dark energy to take out 4 shadow warrior at once but as soon as she stopped, her wing got hit by a random arrow.
"AAH!" cried Yubel in pain. She collapsed on the ground since her wing was bleeding.
"YUBEL!" said Jaden as he ran over to see his fallen friend. He then helped Yubel get up and took her to some cover. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Jaden...but now it's become too dangerous. We need to get you out of here Jaden." said Yubel as she ripped out the arrow from her wings. She quickly clenched his fist to try and hold the pain.
"What?! Yubel, what are you talking about? I'm not leaving, I have to stay here and protect my people, I have protect you!" said Jaden as he ripped his cape to cover Yubel's wound.
"Jaden, you are the supreme king. I cannot have you risk your life here." said Yubel.
"But Yubel, you're my friend. I can't leave you, I can't!" said Jaden.
"I know Jaden. You're my friend as well but before your friend, I am your protector. I will do anything to make sure that you will be okay and right now, I must get you out of here." said Yubel.
"Yubel, I can't. I won't leave you behind, I promised you that I would stay by you, that I will never leave you!" said Jaden as he hugged his friend with tears. Yubel started shedding tears as well as she knew that it was time for goodbyes but it had to be done since his life was in danger.
"Jaden, forgive me but I'm afraid I will have to break that promise. But here, take this." said Yubel as she took off one of her rings and passed it to Jaden.
"This ring? Isn't this your..." said Jaden who was still shedding tears.
"Yes Jaden, this used to belong my mother but now I'm entrusting it to you. I want you to keep it safe for me and I promise, one day I will meet you again for it." said Yubel.
"But Yubel..." said Jaden.
"Please Jaden, right now I need you to be brave and promise me that you can do this." said Yubel.
Jaden then wiped his tears and gave her a strong face. "Ok Yubel, promise me we will meet again." said Jaden as he took out his pinky.
"Of course Jaden, I promise that we will meet again. I pinky promise." said Yubel as she took out her pinky finger and both of them promised each other. Yubel then quickly used her powers to make Jaden asleep. Yubel then quickly ran through the battlefield but she kept on getting hit by more arrow but she did her best to cover Jaden so he wouldn't get hurt.
But she was at the last of her strength, she noticed how there was a horse carriage which was carrying hay at the back. She quickly hid him in the hay and made the horse start running. She didn't know where the horses would go or what state Jaden would be in but it was definitely better then letting Jaden die in the castle.
"Go Jaden...I promise you, we will meet again...but right now, I have to finish this." said Yubel as she gathered the last of her strength to head back into the battlefield. She could see the shadow warriors killing all the castle guards and knew this was a lost cause, so she quickly started concentrating all the dark energy she had left and unleashed a giant power wave. The power started spreading and swallowed up everyone who was close to her but she was unleashing all the power she had left so the power kept on spreading until it destroyed the castle and everyone around it. The blast was finally finished and Yubel finally collapsed, there was a giant crater which originally had the castle. She had burns and wounds all over her body and with no energy left, she just started losing conscious.
"(It's done. Jaden you must live on, you are the supreme king. The fate of all living beings which live under the light of the sun and moon, you must protect. Farewell...Jaden) thought Yubel as she finally died.
Yubel was floating on the clouds, she had finally moved on from the living with her final sacrifice. She didn't know where she was or what would happen after she lost her life. All she knew was that she didn't care, there was nothing left for her. "(Where am I? Is this where all spirits go?)" thought Yubel as she carried on floating around.
"I see you have arrived." said ?
"What? Whose voice was that?" said Yubel but she couldn't open her eyes just yet. Her body was still motionless.
"Forgive me, allow me to help you." said ?. Just then Yubel was able to feel herself floating and her body started healing. She was finally able to regain her strength and she finally opened her eyes but as she opened her eyes, she saw the unbelievable. She realised that wasn't floating, she was actually being picked up but...by a giant hand. The hand actually belonged to "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty".
"Who...who are you?" said Yubel.
"I am the Creator God of Light, Horakhty. I am one of the 7 gods who keeps the balance in our universe. However, I am also the one who judge's the soul of those who pass in the human world. And though your appearance may look deceiving, I can tell that you have a good heart." said Horakhty. Yubel tried to take in what she had just witnessed. She was standing on the pawn of the light god.
"So what happens to me now?" said Yubel.
"Well, I will now commence judgement on your soul and if it is pure, then you shall be sent to the stars. A place where all spirits go to rest and enjoy their after life peacefully. However if your sins out weigh your kindness, then I'm afraid you shall be sent to the shadow realm." said Horakhty.
Horakty then raised her right hand and placed her index finger on Yubel's head. It was then Horakhty was able to see her entire life in a flash and sense all the pain and sacrifice's she had to make to protect Jaden. Horakhty then moved her finger and gave Yube a sad face. Yubel just stared at the light god who wasn't able to say anything to Yubel, she was shocked that someone was so brave and selfless.
"Forgive me Yubel, I had no idea that you had to experience such pain in your life time. You truly are the kindest of spirits, un-selfish, benevolent, and caring. Especially for the Supreme king Jaden." said Horakhty. As soon as Yubel heard that name, she started shedding tears as she had to say goodbye to one of her most dear friends.
"No more Yubel, you have gone through enough pain. More than anyone could in an eternity, your soul is pure enough to move on to the stars. You can finally be at peace." said Horakhty as she used her right hand to form a door light. "If you go through this, you can finally be at rest. No more pain, just go through and the pain will finally end.".
Yubel was staring at the door and started to move towards but just as she got in front of golden door, she stopped. "I can't do it." said Yubel in a sad tone. Horakhty was shocked to hear what Yubel just said. She had the opportunity to have eternal peace but she denied it.
"But why? You can finally be at peace, why not go?" said Horakhty
"It's because...I'm concerned for Jaden. He's still out there and I don't know how he is. I swore I would protect him but...now I can't protect him." said Yubel as she started crying. Horakhty was feeling bad for Yubel who was still concerned for Jaden even after her death.
"Forgive me Yubel but there is nothing that can be done, you have already moved on from the living. After all, forgive me to say this. However Jaden will not be able to survive." said Horakhty.
"What?! What do you mean?" said Yubel.
"You see, Jaden will soon discover his powers however people will abandon him because he will be recognized as the King who failed his country. The people will abandon Jaden and with no one left in the world...he will take his own life." said Horakhty.
"What?! Then please I must take care of Jaden, he still hasn't developed his powers. His only family was the king and he died in battle. Right now there is no one that can help Jaden him." said Yubel as she wiped her tears. Horahkty was thinking of any alternatives that she could've used to help Yubel and something finally came to mind.
"Perhaps there is something I can do for you." said Horakhty
"Please anything! Anything to be by his side once again. I need to protect him." said Yubel.
"You see, I cannot change the fate of Jaden's future of this universe. He is fated to die here." said Horakhty causing Yubel to cover her mouth in horror.
"Then what can I do?! Jaden is still young! He needs me!" said Yubel.
"Soon enough Jaden will lose his life but in another dimension, his soul will reincarnate. Along with his soul, he will retain his dark powers and memories. But as you can guess, he will not remember any of them. I can give you the chance to be sent to that universe and take care of him there." said Horakhty.
"Really?! Then please do so, I will do anything to be by his side." said Yubel.
"Very well but there are a few conditions." said Horakhty.
"What is it?" said Yubel.
"As soon as Jaden becomes a strong duellist and regains his memory as the king. I'm afraid you will have to leave his side and return to the stars. Also, you will be sent to that dimension in your human form but do not worry, you will still retain your powers." said Horakhty. Yubel was thinking of the choice she had to make but there was nothing that would stop her.
"Very well! I accept the condition!" said Yubel.
"Good but before you go, I want you to take this." said Horakhty as she created a light which brought a deck to her hand. "I want you to have this."
"What is it?" said Yubel.
"This is a deck which uses fusion to it's fullest potential. I believe only you can tame it's power." said Horakhty as she gave Yubel the deck.
"These are the..." said Yubel.
"That is correct, it is the deck that the Jaden once used but in his dimension, he will be given a more suitable deck. I think it is only suitable you get this deck." said Horakhty.
"Thank you Goddess of light. You have my gratitude." said Yubel.
"Very well, I believe it is time you begin your journey. I will send you to the alternative universe. Good luck and be careful" said Horakhty. She then started gathering her powers around Yubel transforming her back into her human form. Her skin became brown and her eyes were crystal blue, her white and purple hair changed back into purple. She was then sent through a worm hole which sent her spiralling down.
Yubel was only able to close her eyes as she didn't know where she was going. All she could do was hope for the best and try to hold on for Jaden. She could finally feel herself land on solid ground and she noticed how it was raining but due to the long trip to another dimension, she had no strength to move. All she could do was look up to see that she was on some road but she then saw a light that was headed towards her. She couldn't move or do anything, so she just collapsed. The light then stopped right before it hit Yubel.
It was actually a car light which stopped and two people came out of the car. A man and a woman, the man was wearing a suit like outfit and the woman was wearing a red dress. Both of them then immediately saw the girl who was collapsed in front of their car.
"Oh no! Did we hit her?" said the woman.
"No, I swear we didn't. But look at her, she has injuries all over her body. Also why is she wearing such an outfit?" said the man as he went closer to Yubel.
"Don't you think we should help her?" said the woman.
"You're right but I doubt the hospital would be open at a time like this so we may as well take her home for now." said the man.
The man then picked up the girl and covered her with his coat and placed her in the back of his car. Both the woman and man got into the car and then started driving back home. They carried on driving for half an hour until they finally got home and took Yubel into their house. The woman then changed Yubel into some new clothes and let her rest on their bed. The woman carried on placing wet towel on her head from time to time to help her cool down. Turns out she had a fever.
"What do you think we should do now?" said the man.
"I think it's best that we wait until she wakes up. Until then we can go sleep in the living room." said the man as he took some futons to their living room. They then fell asleep and decided to wait until Yubel woke up.
The Next Day
Yubel then finally woke up and saw that she was in a completely different surrounding. All she could remember was that she was on some road and that a light was about to hit her but then she collapsed. She then got out of the bed and realised that she was wearing a pink sweater with black shorts. She was trying to look around but she found a picture of a couple. She then went down stairs to look around for anyone that she could speak to but then she could instead smell a nice smell from the kitchen. She tried to follow the smell and then she a man with a white shirt and black trousers, sitting at the coffee table reading the newspaper. There was also a woman who was currently making breakfast, she was making omelette for everyone. She was wearing a pink shirt with a blue apron and yellow skirt.
"I see you finally woke up." said the man as he placed his newspaper on the table.
"Come and join us, I made breakfast for everyone." said the woman as she got two plates of omelette and bacon and placed it on the table. Yubel then cautiously went over to the table and sat down but she wasn't sure if she could eat their food. The man was about to star eating but then he noticed Yubel didn't touch her food.
"What's wrong? Do you not like egg and bacon?" asked the man.
"I'm sorry, would like waffles instead? I can them if you like." said the woman. Yubel was still shy to speak but then she finally opened her mouth.
"Um...why are you doing this?" said Yubel causing the two others to feel confused. "I mean, you found me and took care of me but I'm just a stranger. Why go so far for someone like me?". The man and woman just looked at each other and smiled.
"That's because when we saw you, you were injured badly. Even though we don't know you, we still knew we had to help you. I know it may seem careless but we had a feeling that you were a good person. And that was why we helped you." said the woman.
"Don't be worried about us, we're just an ordinary family. Of course, I forgot to mention. My name is Akanishi Yuki and this is my wife, Yurei Yuki. So what's your name?" said Akanishi.
"Oh uh...my name is Yubel. And I thank you very much for helping me." said Yubel as she bowed her head to them. Yurei then placed her hand on Yubel's shoulder and smiled at her.
"There's no need to be so formal. We're just glad you're okay. So go ahead and eat." said Yurei. Yubel then lifted her head and smiled at them. All of them then started eating their breakfast and started talking to each other.
"So Yubel, where are you from? When we found you, you were wearing an odd outfit." said Akanishi. But then Yubel stopped eating and just froze as she remembered he horror of her home and the castle being burnt down.
"I'm sorry but...I don't have a home." said Yubel.
"Oh...then what about family? Where are your parents or guardians?" said Yurei.
"They're all dead. I was raised at a church." said Yubel.
"Oh...I'm so sorry Yubel. I had no idea." said Yurei.
"It's okay, I've already accepted their death and moved on. I know that I shouldn't dwell on the past and should focus on the present. Care about those that are important to me now." said Yubel.
"Well do you have a place to go?" said Akanishi.
"Not really, to be honest I came here recently." said Yubel.
"By yourself?" asked Akanishi. He couldn't believe a tiny girl would come all the way to Domino City all by herself.
"Yes." answered Yubel.
"But why?" asked Yurei.
"I came here to find something. Something important but I don't know where I am or where to start." said Yubel.
"Yubel, I understand that you're looking for something (Even thought I have no idea what it is) but you shouldn't be doing it alone. Yesterday you were so hurt that you were in the middle of the road. Had we not found you, you would've been dead." said Akanishi.
"I know it may have been risky but I had to do whatever I could." said Yubel.
"Yubel, I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. We will be glad to help you find what you're looking for." said Yurei as she placed her hand on Yubel's.
"That's right, we may not know a lot about you but we know that we ca trust you." said Akanishi.
"Thank you. Not just for taking care of me but for trusting me." said Yubel.
"Well, go ahead and finish eating. After that we will go and do some shopping." said Yurei.
"Shopping?" said Yubel.
"Well of course, you said you didn't have a place to stay. So I thought you should stay with us and of course, you need some clothes." said Yurei as she took the dishes from the table and went to the sink and started washing up.
"Are you sure?" said Yubel.
"Of Course, we can't just leave you out there. You're more than glad to stay with us." said Akanishi as he went to the sink to help Yurei with the dishes. Yubel was so shocked to see the kindness in their hearts, to take care of complete stranger and to give her a place to stay. Yubel then quickly finished her breakfast and took a bath.
"(I cannot believe my fortune here. To meet such kind people and to be taken care of by them but I mustn't forget my original intention.)" thought Yubel as she finished her bath and got dressed. Yurei was wearing a white shirt and red jeans with high heels. Yubel was given a purple dress. Yurei then unlocked her car and was about to get in.
"Akanishi, don't forget to take care of him okay." said Yurei as she was about to start her car.
"Of course dear, make sure to get something nice for Yubel. Oh also do get some Diapers, I think we're low." said Akanishi.
"Sure dear." said Yurei as she started driving away. Yubel was then confused as to what she was speaking about.
"What did you need diapers for?" said Yubel.
"Of course, I forgot to tell you about our son. Surprisingly he wasn't crying last night. I'll give you a proper introduction when we get home. Until then we have a lot of shopping to do." said Yurei as she drove to the mall to get clothes for Yubel. As they were walking around with shopping bags, a few kids noticed Yubel. The boys and girls had blushes on their faces after seeing Yubels face and crystal blue eyes. Yurei was getting a lot of attention from the other kids. After they bought the clothes, they went to the store to buy two packs of diapers and went home.
"Akanishi we're home..." said Yurei but she then noticed Akanishi rush down and gave her the shush face.
"Be a bit quite, he's fallen asleep." said Akanishi.
"Of course, Yubel still hasn't seen him yet. Why don't we go see him while he's still asleep." said Yurei as she left the shopping bags in the living room. Yubel and Yurei then went to the room next to the main bedroom. Yubel then looked around the room to see the toys and pictures.
"Yubel. There he is." whispered Yurei. Yubel then went to the cage in the middle of the room. She then saw a baby resting peacefully.
"That's him Yubel. Our pride and joy, his name is Jaden." said Yurei which caused Yubel to be shocked. Her destiny to protect Jaden and he was still in his early years.
"(No, I shouldn't be making any assumptions. Just because he has the name doesn't mean it's him. But how can I know?) thought Yubel but then she noticed something shiny on table. Yubel then walked over to the shiny object to see that it was her ring. Yurei then noticed how Yubel was attracted to the shiny ring.
"I see you like it, don't you?" said Yurei.
"How did you get this?" said Yubel.
"Well actually, this was given to us by my grand mother. She said that this once belonged to a king and that it was treasure that he would never let go of. When Jaden saw the ring, he wouldn't let go it at all. My grand mother then decided to let Jaden keep it and even now, he just won't let go of that ring. Well except for when he's asleep." said Yurei.
"(This is my ring. The one I gave to Jaden before I sent him away. There's no doubt about it, I recognize my mothers ring. And this clearly means...that this really is Jaden.)" thought Yubel as she returned the ring to Yurei and went over to Jaden. Yubel then placed her hand on Jaden's cheek and smiled at him.
"(It really is you, Jaden. To think that I would be able to see you like this but I promise now, I will be here for you.)" thought Yubel. Jaden then turned and grabbed Yubel's finger and smiled. Yurei then came over to see that Jaden had grabbed Yubel's finger.
"Wow, he doesn't usually do that to strangers but I can see that he really likes you Yubel." said Yurei.
"Thank you for everything. Fore taking care of me, feeding me, getting me all of these nice things. But most importantly for helping me find what I was looking for." said Yubel as she had tears in her eyes.
"You found it?" said Yurei as she went closer to Yubel.
"Yes I did. I found...a family." said Yubel which caused Yurei to give her a hug. They then left the room to let Jaden sleep but as they got out, Akanishi came in and saw that Yubel was wiping off her tears.
"What happened? Yubel, are you okay?" said Akanishi as he kneeled to see her face.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just happy I met you." said Yubel.
"Indeed dear, I am glad we found you too because we are here for you." said Yurei.
"Of course, we consider you our family." said Akanishi.
"Come on now Yubel, I will show you to your room." said Yurei as she took Yubel to their spare room. Yubel then found a room that had all the basic needs such as a bed, table and closet with a window that had the view of the backyard.
"Good night dear." said Yurei as she left the room with all of her new clothes.
"(Jaden, I finally found you. I promise you, I will stay by you and protect you.)" thought Yubel as she changed from her dress into the new cat pajamas that she got.
Time Skip 2 years
Yubel had been staying with the Yuki family for two years now. They had let her go to a duel school where she was able to learn a lot about the modern day of duelling and different institutions compared to her old dimension. Yubel was at the top of her classes when it came to duelling since she was using the deck that was given to her by Horakhty. She even won a junior championship and was given a chance to make a card named after her. She then drew the image of her past self and Kaiba Corp then agreed to turn it into a legal card. She was popular in school for being the best duellist in the school and she was always asked out by the guys. But none of that mattered to Yubel since all she wanted to was to take care of Jaden.
It was Jaden's 4th birthday today and she had prepared a special gift for Jaden. Yurei and Akanishi were at home preparing the party for Jaden's birthday and Yubel was in charge of picking up Jaden from the kinder garden. She had left to pick up Jaden from his school but when she arrived at the school, she saw Jaden getting picked on by 3 kids. Yubel then quickly rushed over to Jaden pushed back the kids.
"What do you think that you're doing to my brother?!" yelled Yubel in an angry tone.
"We challenged him to a duel! But he's to much of a coward to take us on!" said kid#1
"If you want to duel anyone then duel me! I'll take on all of you!" said Yubel as she got out her deck." said Yubel.
"Fine!" said Kid #1 but then the other two kids started backing off.
"Hey wait a sec! You're that girl who won that Junior Championship!" said Kid# 2
"What?! The junior championship?! Forget that, I ain't taking you on. Let's get out of here!" said Kid #1 as they ran away. Yubel then turned to Jaden who was crying.
"Jaden are you okay? Did they hurt you?" said Yubel. Jaden just shook his head and hugged Yubel.
"I was so scared Nee-san! They bully me because I don't have any cards myself." said Jaden as he carried on crying.
"Don't worry Jaden, everything's okay now. Come on, let's go home." said Yubel as she picked up his bag and grabbed Jaden's hand. Both of them then started going home but as soon as they got home.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" said Yurei and Akanishi as they jumped from behind the couch to surprise Jaden. Jaden was so happy to see the decorations and the cake that was on the table.
"Wow! Mom! Dad!" said Jaden as he rushed to them and hugged them both.
"Happy Birthday son!" said Akanishi as he picked up his son.
"Come on, it's time to blow out the candles and make a wish." said Yurei as she started lightning up the 4 candles on the cake.
Jaden then closed his eyes and blew on the candles. Yubel, Yurei and Akanishi then started clapping and cheering for Jaden. Yurei then helped Jaden cut the cake for everyone. Akanishi then started taking pictures for everyone.
"Jaden." said Yubel as she went towards Jaden.
"What is it nee-san?" said Jaden as he was still eating his piece of cake.
"I have your present. Ta-da!" said Yubel as she revealed a deck box.
"Wow! Is that what I think it is?" said Jaden as he took the box and opened it. He was then really happy.
"Yes Jaden, it's your very own deck." said Yubel.
"Wow, thanks nee-san!" said Jaden as he hugged her again. "Will you teach me how to be great duellist? I wanna be just like you."
"Sure Jaden, anything for you." said Yubel. Jaden then started looking through the cards and noticed that it was the elemental heroes.
"Wow! The elemental heroes! These are awesome! Can I be a hero like them?" said Jaden as he turned to Yubel. But as he turned around, Yubel gave Jaden a kiss on his forehead.
"Of coure you can Jaden. Remember Jaden, you will always be my little hero." said Yubel. Jaden then smiled and hugged Yubel again.
After a few hours of eating and talking, Jaden finally fell asleep. Yubel then took Jaden up to his room and put him to bed. Yubel then took a sigh of relief to see that Jaden was so happy.
"Is he asleep?" said Yurei.
"Yes, he's gone straight to bed. Though I probably should've told him to brush his teeth first." said Yubel.
"Well if he get's a tooth decay, you're taking him to the dentist." said Akanishi as all of them started laughing. Yubel then looked down to the ground. Yurei was immediately able to notice that Yubel had something in her mind.
"What wrong dear?" said Yurei.
"I was just thinking. I am really glad I met you two. Had it not been for you two, then I would've been lost since the day I arrived." said Yubel.
"There's nothing to worry about. In fact ever since you came here, our life has been nothing but joy. You became a top duellist here and you have been like a daughter to us. Especially to Jaden, he loves being with you." said Akanishi.
"I would've never found my way had it not been for you two. I guess destiny was on my side when I arrived here.
"It was also destiny that you found our family and that we were able to find you. Destiny brought us together to make us a family, so will you be our daughter?" asked Yurei.
"You mean?" said Yubel as she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"Yes Yubel, we have been thinking about it for a long time and we really want you to be a part of our family. Not that we didn't consider you our family before. But I think you should be an official member of our family." said Akanishi.
"So how about it?" said Yurei. Yubel then started to wipe her tears oh of joy then went to hug her two new parents.
The next week
Jaden and Yubel were practising their duelling skills, Jaden was getting better and better but Yubel would still beat him.
"Oh man, why can't I win?" groaned Jaden.
"Jaden you're getting better and better, there's nothing wrong with that. I promise you will be better before you know it." said Yubel.
"Alright, I'll keep practicing. I will become a great duellist like you!" said Jaden as he started shuffling his cards again. Yurei and Akanishi were then getting ready to leave for their business trip.
"Mom, dad! Are you guys getting ready to go?" said Yubel.
"Yes dear, remember me and your dad are going abroad for business trip and we will be gone for a month. I will need you to take care of Jaden while we're gone okay." said Yurei as she put on her shoes.
"Sure mom, I promise." said Yubel.
"Honey do you have our tickets?" said Akanishi as he got the luggage from up stairs.
"Yes I do. Hurry up or else we're gonna be late for our flight." said Yurei as she got the taxi in front of their house.
"Okay okay! Now Jaden, you have to listen to your sister okay? Be a good boy for your sister okay!" said Akanishi.
"Okay dad!" said Jaden as Akanishi kissed him on the forehead
"Alright then kids, we need to go!" said Akanishi as he hugged his kids and left. Jaden and Yubel then looked at each other.
"Alright Jaden, I promise to do my best to take care around here and you."said Yubel. Jaden then had confused look on him. "What's wrong?"
"I've felt like I heard you say that before." said Jaden.
"Well, I am your sister so I will do my best." said Yubel.
"Thank you nee-san!" said Jaden as he hugged her.
For the next few weeks, Yubel and Jaden tried to do their best to share the house work while having fun. Yubel was still focusing on her studies while teaching Jaden how to duel and Jaden was still doing his best to become a better duellist. 3 weeks had passed since they were taking care of the house but then, they heard a knock at the door. Yubel then went to the door and checked through the peep-hole to see her aunt at the door. Yubel then opened the door and welcomed her aunt.
"Aunty Selena? What is it?" said Yubel.
"Is Jaden here?" said Selena.
"Yes, he's taking a bath right now." said Yubel.
"Yubel...I'm afraid there is something I must tell you." said Selena in a sad tone.
"What is it? What's wrong?" said Yubel.
"I'm afraid that your parents were in a car accident." said Selena. Yubel could not believe that she just heard.
"What?! What are you saying?" said Yubel.
"When they were travelling back to the airport after their business trip, a...apparently they crashed into a truck. I'm so sorry." said Selena as she started shedding tears as well. Yubel then fell on her knees. The two kind people who had taken care of her were gone. Yubel then started shedding tears and started crying on the floor.
"Nee-san?" said Jaden who was walking down and saw Yubel crying.
"Jaden?" said Yubel.
"Why are you crying? I don't want to see you crying!" said Jaden as he hugged his sister.
"I'm sorry Jaden. I'm...so sorry." said Yubel as she carried on crying.
They then started the memorial service a week after. Everyone was concerned about what would happen Yubel and Jaden. Even though Yubel was a top tier duellist, everyone was still concerned about their future. Jaden and Yubel were at the funeral service as well. Yubel was still crying at the thought of losing her parents. Jaden was just watching as people were paying respect to Yurei and Akanishi's grave. Jaden then just turned to Yubel who was still crying.
"Nee-san..." said Jaden as he pulled on Yubel's black kimono.
"What is it Jaden?" asked Yubel as she wiped her tears.
"Does this mean...mom and dad won't come back?" said Jaden as he was about to cry. Yubel just couldn't answer and just hugged him. At that point Jaden just couldn't hold back his tears and started crying as well.
"Jaden...I know this is too painful for both of us. But I need you to be strong! We still have each other and I promise, I will do my best to take care of you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side." said Yubel. Jaden then carried on crying as she hugged back Yubel. After the funeral, Yubel and Jaden were going to stay with their aunt from now on. They decided to focus on their studies and trained to become better duellists but that experience changed Jaden forever.
12 years later
"Thank you for everything, Aunt Selena." said Yubel as she bowed to her aunt.
"It is quite alright dear but what are you going to do now?" said Selena.
"Nee-san and I finally decided our next step to becoming better duellists, we're going to head to duel academy!" said Jaden as he grabbed his black jacket and wore it.
