In a kingdom far far away, there lived a king and queen who have two children, a son named see, for so long they longed for a child and was greeted with the birth of a son. By the time he was a year old, they wanted him to have someone to play around with. A friend of their's is also having a son but he won't be in their kingdom most of his life, he will be in his own. So they yearned for another child. That is when they were blessed with a little girl. A little girl named Ruri. Shay is happy to be a big brother, his sister just two years younger, and has already given her the gift of a locket so that she can carry a picture of her family with her wherever she goes. His parents having made special holidays for their children.
Today is Ruri's celebration after having been born just two days prior and many of the villagers and fellow friends from other kingdoms have been invited. Most notably, King Reginald "Shark" Kastle and his one-year-old son, Yuto. As the time gets closer for the party to begin, the king and queen, along with their children, can hear the villagers as they make their way to the castle.
Villagers: Joyfully now to our princess we come,

"Thank you all for coming!" The king addresses his people, the trumpets sounding and the announcer introducing King Shark and his son. Even with Yuto being a one-year-old he is already talking and walking. The two father's who are also life-long friends embrace each other as Ruri's father takes the young Yuto and shows him the cradle where Ruri is.
Ruri's father lifts Yuto up so he can look at the princess. Yuto looks at his father before looking back at the princess and gives her a dueling card that they made for her. Lyrilusc Assembly Independent Nightingale. Not only that, but is also the first gift to unite the kingdoms, through the marriage of Yuto and Ruri.
The trumpets then sound again and the announcer introduces the three good fairy's, Mistress Yuzu, Mistress Rin, and Mistress Serena. The three fairies go over to the cradle and look at the new princess before going over and curtsying to her parents and brother.
"Your Excellencies, a gift on the child the three of us will make. No more, no less." Yuzu states with Ruri's parents nodding in agreement. Yuzu is the first one to go. "My dear child, my gift shall be the gift of beauty just like the beautiful flowers that bloom even in the harshest of winter's."
Choir: One gift, beauty rare
Full of violets in her hair
Lips that shame the red red rose
She'll walk with springtime
Wherever she goes
Rin is the next one to go to the cradle. "Young Princess, as winds are light and heavy, you will have voice that matches them. My gift shall be the gift of song."
Choir: One gift, the gift of song
Melody her whole life long
The nightingale's her troubadour
Bringing her sweet serenade
to her door
Finally it is Serena's turn for a gift. As she lifts her wand and is about to cast her spell, the huge gust of wind opens the windows and doors and forms a figure in black and dark purple robes, piercing pink eyes and blonde hair with her trusted crow on her shoulder.
The evil fairy Gloria has arrived.
Yuzu says her name as much. Serena wonders what Gloria wants and is mentally preparing herself for a fight, but Rin holds her back and tells her to be quiet.
"Why, King Yuma, quite the assemble you have here. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and, how quaint, even the rebel."
Hearing this, Serena starts flying towards the evil fairy but Rin's grip on her tightens and Yuzu joins in so there is no fighting on this day. It's no secret in the fairy community that out of every good fairy there is, that Serena does what she believes to be right, even if it goes against the Good Fairy Code. Whatever, at least if it's for the greater good, then who should care? (Although Yuzu does scold her when she "rebels".)
"I really felt quite distressed of not receiving an invitation." Gloria continues.
"You weren't wanted!" Serena shouts, hoping that the evil fairy will get the hint and leave.
"Not wan. . . . Oh dear, this makes for an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely because of some oversight. In that event, I'll be on my way." Gloria lies as she pretends to leave.
"And you're not offened, Your Excellency?" Queen Tori wonders, worriedly.
"Why, no, Your Majesty." Gloria assures. "And to show that I bare no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child."
The entire room stills at this revelation, everyone tense as all eyes are on the dark fairy. Shark is holding his son tightly, placing Yuto over his shoulder so he isn't staring at Gloria and the chaos around him. The neighboring king also has a hand on the back of his son's head in case Gloria does something that could possibly harm Yuto.
Rin, Serena, and Yuto go to the cradle that Ruri is in and shield her on all sides. The Yuma and Tori hold each other tightly, as Tori looks around for Shay and sees him behind Rin's icy-blue skirt under the cradle, a fierce determination in his eyes that she hasn't seen before. Even for a two-year-old Shay looks ready to protect his sister at any and all costs. Tori's eyes never leave her son, but she doesn't go for him as she is fearful of what Gloria might do if she sees Tori going for both her son and daughter.
AN: What do you all think?
Yes, I do believe Shark could be Yuto's parent. I've also seen this headcanon that Kite and Droite could be Yuto's parents (which I really like) but for the life of me it also makes him the brother of Kite from Arc-V (whom I believe to be Kite Jr. if Kite from Arc-V isn't the same one in Zexal) and idk they would be going to different dueling schools if that's the case.
And I also believe that Yuma and Tori also have the genes to have children like Shay and Lulu. We're going to pretend that Shay and Ruri's last name in this is Tsukumo and Kurosaki/Obsidian will be their names if they're disguising themselves.
