Yuya woke up and slowly crawled out of bed. He looked at the calendar. Monday. Which meant school.

Yuya changed into his orange t-shirt and green pants. He brushed his tomato colored hair and exited the room, still rubbing away the sleep from his eyes. Yuya staggered down the stairs and into the kitchen. His younger brother, Yugo, was already sitting at the table eating some toast. "Morning, Aniki!" Yugo said with his mouth full. "Morning." Yuya walked over to the toaster and put in a piece of bread. A few minutes later it popped out. Yuya took the toast and took a seat at the table with Yugo.

"Soooo, how's it going with Rin these days?" Yuya asked, still sounding half asleep. Yugo's face became a bright red color. "We're d-doing great!" He stuttered.

"That's good!" Yuya told him. "Make sure you keep it that way. She's a nice girl. Though her brother um... Um... Sh... Shu... Whatever the heck his name is, he's a little scary."

"You mean Shun?" Yugo tilted his head to the side. "I agree with you on that one. How about you, Aniki? Find anyone you like yet?"

"Hmm... I have my eyes on one... Won't say who though. That's a secret for you to find out later." Yugo made a long disappointed moan. He wanted to know who his brother liked.

"Ah! The time!" Yuya exclaimed and shoved the rest of his breakfast in his mouth. The two had gotten so caught up in their little chat, that they had forgotten about school. They put on their shoes and dashed out the door, just in time for the bus to pick them up.

They rode all the way to school and met up with their friends. Yuya's blue haired friend Sora Shiunin was waiting for Yuya at the front entrance. Rin was standing next to him, waiting for Yugo. The four of them headed up to their classes. Yuya and Sora entered room 221 while Yugo and Rin entered room 214.

Yuya sat in the first row by the window and Sora sat next to him. They waited patiently for the teacher's lesson to start.

Yuya jumped onto the noisy yellow bus and sat in the fourth seat on the right, silently waiting for his younger brother to get on. A minute later, just as the bus was about to leave, Yugo dashed through the bus doors and plopped down next to Yuya.

"Hey Aniki! How was class for you today~!" The boy smiled and gave Yuya a big, tight hug. "It was boring, pretty lonely too... How was your day...? You usually only ask me how my day went when something good happened," Yuya said while trying to push his younger brother off of him.

"I got a new card from a friend! Look!" Yugo started digging in his bag for the card. He soon found it and pulled out a monster card from the game duel monsters. The two brothers and many others in the class love the game. Yugo held the card really close to Yuya's face, so close he couldn't see anything but the white border, which showed that the card was a synchro monster.

Yuya took the card out of Yugo's hand and held it so that he could actually see the card. "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, eh? Nice card," Yuya observed the green, black, and white dragon. "Now we match!" Yuya pulled out his Odd-eyes Pendulum Dragon from the pocket in his green pants. The dragon was mostly red and white, while the border of the card went from orange at the top to a greenish-blue at the bottom. "Now if only we had two other brothers with a Fusion dragon and an XYZ dragon, then we would be a matching four!" Yugo exclaimed. The two of them put their cards back with their decks and continued the ride home in silence.

As soon as the bus stopped, Yugo ran off as quickly as possible, desperate to show their parents his new card. Yuya slowly followed. He opened the door and walked in about 15 seconds after Yugo had gone running through the door. Yuya took off his shoes by the door, noticing that Yugo was too happy about his card to bother taking his shoes off.

Yuya lifted his head and took a step forward. He immediately froze in his tracks when he saw not the usual three people standing there, but five. In addition to his parents, Yoko and Yusho Sakaki, and his brother, there were two others. Both with the same face as Yugo and Yuya. "Yuya, Yugo," their mother spoke. "These are your other brothers, Yuto and Yuri."

"Wait, wait, wait! We have two other brothers!? Why didn't you tell us before!?" Yuya asked. "We're sorry for not telling you before, but these two were taken away when they were born to be raised by other people. They returned today because the town that they lived in burned down. The people who took them in died." Their mother explained with barely visible tears in the corners of her eyes. She was obviously sad that she wasn't able to raise two of her sons.

Yuya looked at his other two brothers. Yuto wore a green shirt with a dark blue tie and dark blue pants. He also had spiky purple and black hair that swept to one side. He looked really emo. Yuri wore a light blue onesie with a purple vest. He had purple and pink hair that looked slightly like a cabbage. He had thick pink eyebrows that looked like flower petals.

Yuya turned to Yugo. "We should both go up and hug them, just to make them feel welcome," he whispered. Yuya walked up to Yuto and gave him a tight squeeze. Yugo did the same to Yuri. "Welcome!" Yuto's eyes widened in surprise, but he gave a little smile and gently hugged back. Yuri stared at Yugo in disgust but quickly hid it when Yugo looked at his face. He refused to hug back.

"It's nice to see you four already getting along. Yuya and Yugo would you mind helping them settle in? We only have one extra room so one of you two will have to share with Yugo. He has the big bed," Their dad told them. And then their parents both left the room.

"So! Yuri and Yuto! Who would like to share with me!?" Yugo asked. Neither answered. Yuri had that 'If I stay in a room with another person for a long period of time I will go insane' look on his face. Yuto looked like he would be fine with anything. "Yuto, how about you stay in Yugo's room and Yuri, you can take the extra room." Yuya suggested. Yuri seemed to like that idea. "Yugo, show Yuto to his room."

The four walked up the stairs and split into two groups. Yugo dragged Yuto down the hall on the right, and Yuri followed Yuya down the hall on the left.

Yuya opened the door to the Extra room and let Yuri inside. The Room had large orange and blue swirly patterns on the walls and a small bed in the far left corner. There were dressers and other furniture lining the walls, and a small closet in the far right corner. "Here. This will be your room," Yuya told Yuri. "My room is the first door on the left. Ask me if you need anything." Yuri nodded his head and closed the door. Yuya wanted to tell Yuri where the upstairs bathroom was, but he decided to leave it. Yuri didn't seem to want to talk to anyone. Yuya just went to hang out in his room until he heard the dinner call.

Yuri immediately returned to his room after dinner. Yugo and Yuto also returned to their room and Yuya decided to go in and talk with them. Yuya followed the two into the black and white room. Two walls were black and two were white. The three of them sat on the large bed in the far right corner of the room.

"How are you settling in?" Yuya asked Yuto. "Good. Your family is very kind," Yuto replied with a small smile. "That's good," Yuya smiled back.

"Yuto plays duel monsters! So does Yuri!" Yugo yelled happily, jumping up and down on the bed. "Really? You play Duel Monsters? Are you good?" Yuya asked. "I'm not great at it but I'm still pretty good. I haven't had much practice. Yuri would never duel me and I didn't have many friends," Yuto replied. Yuya noticed his eyes droop when he talked about Yuri.

"Well, you can duel us anytime!" Yuya smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Yuto's face brightened up. "Thank you!"

"No problem! Also do you use any special summoning types? Like fusion, synchro, or XYZ?" Yuya asked, red eyes filled with curiosity. "XYZ. Yuri uses fusion," Yuto answered. Yuya's eyes sparkled. "Cool!" He exclaimed.

The three brothers talked to each other longer than they had planned. Yuya had only meant to go in and stay for a few minutes, but he ended up staying for a few hours.

Yuya stood up and told his brothers that he was going to his room, then he left. He walked slowly down the hall and opened the door to his gradient room. The top of the room started as a orange color then faded into a greenish-blue at the bottom. Yuya walked over and plopped down in his bed, falling asleep soon after.

"Okay! Time to get the four of you to school!" Yoko said as she ushered the four brothers into the car. Yuya and Yugo usually rode the bus to school, but since their mom was going to the school to get Yuto and Yuri signed up, she decided to just drive them all over.

They arrived at the school and got out of the car. Yoko took Yuto and Yuri to the office to get them signed up. Yuya dashed down the hall, stopping at Yugo's classroom first to drop him off, then heading to his own class.

Yuya entered the classroom and took a seat in his usual place by the window. "You seem to be in a good mood," a voice from behind him spoke. "Yeah! My brothers are coming to school today! Yuya replied to the short blue haired boy behind him. "You have more than one brother? Isn't that dumb Yugo enough to deal with?" Sora complained. "Don't call him dumb. He may not be the smartest but he's not dumb! Also the other two aren't like that. One of them is calm and the other is... A tiny bit creepy." Yuya said, remembering a creepy smile that Yuri had made at the dinner table the night before. "Oh and one uses fusion, like you."

"Really? Can't wait to meet him!" Sora exclaimed, giving one of his cute smiles.

The classroom door opened and the teacher walked in with Yuto and Yuri following behind. "We have two new students with us today. Introduce yourselves." The teacher said in his boring unchanging voice. "I'm Yuto Sakaki." Yuto spoke first. "I'm Yuri." Yuri said with his mouth curved into one of his creepy smiles. "Yuto, you can take a seat behind Yuya. Yuri sit right next to him." The teacher said. As soon as the two sat down, he started his lesson.

"Time for lunch!" Sora exclaimed, jumping out of his seat. "Calm down, shorty," Yuri said with a smirk. A tik mark appeared on Sora's head. "I AM NOT SHORT!" He yelled with a pouty face. "You kind of are," Yuya told him. "You can't deny it. You look like you're supposed to be in elementary school."

"HEY!" Sora yelled. He suddenly calmed down and bent over to speak to Yuya, who was still sitting. "Which one uses fusion?" Sora whispered to him. "The one who just called you short." Yuya replied. "I AM NOT SHORT!" He yelled again and started stomping his feet. "You keep telling yourself that," Yuya said and stood up. "I'm gonna show Yuto around the school. Yuri, you want to come?"

"No," Yuri gave his short reply. "Um... Okay. Let's go, Yuto," Yuya said and pulled Yuto out the classroom door. "How come you gave him a choice and not me?" Yuto questioned him. Yuya thought about it for a moment. "I'm not sure... Maybe because you seem to be a lot nicer than him." Yuya smiled. "Should I have asked first?" He wondered, staring at the wall. "No it's fine. I don't have a problem with it." Yuto replied.

Yuya led Yuto through the halls, showing him where everything was. He showed him where Yugo's class was, where all the bathrooms were, where the gym was, and many other places.

The two returned to the class. Yuya noticed Yuri standing in the back of the classroom with Sora and a curly red haired teen. Yuya dashed up to the three of them, jumping over a few desks along the way.

"Hey, Yuri. Hey, Sora. Who's this?" Yuya asked the two. "This is Dennis Macfield. He's from Yugo's class." Sora replied. "Nice to meet you Dennis! I'm Yuya Sakaki," Yuya introduced himself. "Nice too meet you too," Dennis said. Yuya noticed Yuri staring at Dennis through the corner of his eye. Dennis was talking to Sora and Yuya so he didn't seem to notice Yuri's staring.

As soon as Dennis turned his attention back to Yuri, Yuri adverted his gaze to the clock, pretending to be checking how much time was left of lunch. He tuned back to the small group. Yuri pretended like he wasn't doing anything and Yuya pretended like he didn't see anything. After a few more minutes of talking Dennis returned to his class and Yuri, Sora, and Yuya spent the last 10 minutes eating.

When class started, all Yuya could think about was how Yuri was staring at Dennis. It wasn't the 'I don't like you' type stare. It was the 'I want you' type, the type that is usually accompanied by a smirk.

Yuya continuously tried to get the weird stare out of his head but he couldn't help but keep thinking about it. He didn't know why. Yuri wasn't even staring at him. Yuya just guessed that he was a little worried about what Yuri might do to Dennis.

After school, Yuri and Yuto went to check out all the clubs. Yuto checked out so many clubs but none really stood out to him. He continued walking down the halls, searching for any other club rooms. When he reached the end of the hall, he saw a door on the right with a poster for a club called 'Black Bloom Band.' The poster had black flowers nicely drawn on it and a few weird looking birds in the four corners. The birds looked similar to the Raidraptors from duel monsters.

Yuto pulled open the door and stepped into the small room. There were two people in the room. One had gray hair and purple eyes. He wore a long red scarf and short white pants, along with white shoes and no socks. The most noticeable thing he wore was his stupid looking boxy red glasses. Next to him was someone looking really similar in age. He had dark blue hair with light blue bangs that swept to one side. He wore a black pants and a blue coat. He had piercing golden eyes that could make anyone around him feel intimidated.

Yuto stared at the two. They didn't have the most welcoming looks on their faces. They both looked angry for some reason. "H-Helllo. M-My n-name is Y-Yuto. I-I was l-looking f-for a c-club to join," Yuto stuttered, a little scared of what these two angry looking older people could do. The two just stared at him until the one with the stupid glasses spoke. "This is the Black Bloom Band. I'm Reiji Akaba, I play Bass Guitar. And this is Shun Kurosaki, he's the leader of the band and the lead singer... Well... Our only singer. You're welcome to join if you want. But you should know, we aren't a very popular club.

"I guess I'll join... This is the most interesting thing I've found today," Yuto told Reiji. "What do you play?" Shun asked. "I play drums..." Yuto told him quietly. "Good we needed a drummer. Welcome to the club..." Shun said in a bored sounding voice. Yuto stared at him, thinking about how this band needed way more than just a drummer. But it was at least a step up from just a singer and a guitarist.

"So, what days should I come here to meet with you guys?" Yuto asked them. "We meet on Tuesdays and Fridays," Shun answered. Yuto took note of that in one of the small journals that his mom had given him the night before. "I'll see you friday then," Reiji picked up his bags and left through the door. Shun just stood there and let him leave, even though it had only been about ten minutes since the meeting had started.

"Why'd he leave?" Yuto asked as soon as Reiji was out of sight. "He just leaves whenever. He's got a company to run so he can't stay long." Shun started packing up his bag so that he could leave himself.

"Would... you mind staying...? I want to talk to you a bit," Yuto asked in a quiet voice, not sure if Shun heard him. "Come," Shun said while he walked out the door. Yuto followed him out.

The two of them walked down the street. Yuto wanted to ask where they were going, but he was still a little scared of the older teen. He stared at Shun, trying to find any type of emotion on his face, but found nothing. Nothing but cold golden eyes. Yuto had to admit, Shun was kind of hot. His hair looked so beautiful and perfect, and he was so tall. And his eyes, while cold and hard, were beautiful in every way.

Shun suddenly stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. Yuto bumped into him while still in his state of admiring him. "S-Sorry!" He exclaimed, breaking out of his daze. "Just pay attention to where you're walking," Shun told him without changing his cold expression.

Yuto looked up at the building they had stopped in front of. It was the fast food place called Burger World. The two entered the building and stood in line. When they got up to the counter Shun told the person what he wanted. "Yuto, what do you want?" Shun had turned and was waiting for his answer. "W-What?!" Yuto stuttered, surprised that the person he had only just met today, was already offering to buy him something to eat. He calmed down a bit and thought about his question. "Milkshake I guess..."

The person typed Yuto's order into the cash register and Shun paid. The two of them stood to the side and waited for their food. When it was finally ready, they took a seat at a booth by the window. Yuto began sucking down his vanilla milkshake and Shun pulled the wrapper off of the burger he had ordered. He took small bites, unlike the other people in the fast food place who wolfed down their burgers in two to three giant bites.

"What did you wanna talk about?" Shun asked when he was about halfway done with his food. "Nothing much really. I guess I just wanted to get to know you better," Yuto responded. "Okay..." Shun stared at him.

"Um... What grade are you in and how old are you? I'm in Ninth and I'm fourteen," Yuto made and attempt to start a conversation. "Eleventh. I'm sixteen," Shun replied it the least amount of words possible. He didn't seem to like talking much. "Any siblings?" Yuto tried to get Shun to talk a little more.

"Four Fourteen year-old sisters," Shun again, gave a short answer. "That's a lot," Yuto took another sip of his milkshake. "I have three brothers my age."

Shun stayed silent. "Um... Do you want to know anything about me?" Yuto tried breaking the silence, desperate to get the older teen to talk to him in more than just a few words. Shun stayed silent.

"Ummm... Do you play Duel Monsters?" Yuto decided he would ask about it, since he did see the Raidraptors on the poster. "Yes, you do too!? What summon method do you use?" He finally managed to get Shun to talk. "I use XYZ. You?"

"I also use XYZ. It's the best," Shun said.

"Are you good?" Yuto asked.

"Undefeated!" Shun crossed his arms and closed his eyes in an attempt to look triumphant. He was pretty good at it.

"That's great!" Yuto finished up his Milkshake. "Do you think we should go home now?"

"I guess." Shun stood up and picked up his trash. Yuto did the same. They threw away their trash and left. It was getting dark outside so they walked so fast they almost ran to their houses. The two arrived at Shun's house first. Shun opened the door and stepped inside.

"Do you mind if we meet up everyday after school?" Yuto asked before Shun could close the door. "I feel you would start annoying me after a while but we could give it a try." Shun closed the door to his house and left Yuto alone outside.

Yuto then continued on down the street to get to his own house.

Yuri left the school building without even giving a club a second thought. He didn't want to join any clubs. He never would in his old school unless he wanted something from someone in a club. Yuri would always get what he wanted, no matter what he had to do or put up with.

He strolled through the streets of the town. He decided that he wouldn't go home until it got dark. Yuri didn't want to deal with the annoying people at home.

By the time it got dark, Yuri's stroll had taken him extremely close to his house, so he decided that he would just go inside and hope that he would be able to get to his room without anyone noticing him. And that's just what he was able to do. Yuya, Yugo, and Yuto were all sitting in another room watching a movie, so Yuri was able to easily slip up the stairs and through his door without being noticed.

Yuri changed into the blue and orange onesie that he wore to bed every night. He then slipped into his bed and went to sleep.
