It was cold and rainy. Yuki Judai was walking in the streets with his black rain coat. The taxi's and cars speed home, it was rush hour. Judai lost his driver's license from his little drinking under the influence incident. So now he walked home to his tiny apartment. Since he graduated from Duel Academy five years ago life hasn't been going well. He became a pro duelist for a while but when his girlfriend decided to leave him, she took all his money. Soon he lost every duel he had and his career hit rock bottom. Now Judai works for a newspaper company, but makes little money. Since he has debts to pay from all the expensive things he bought when he was a famous duelist, this doesn't work to his advantage.

Judai walked up the stairs of the apartment building. When he got to his room there was a sign on the door. He pulled it off the door and scanned it.

"Oh great…" He mumbled under his breath.

It was a notice letter. If Judai didn't pay his rent then he would have to leave the apartment.

Judai took off his wet coat and threw it on a chair. He took off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He looked at the answering machine, 3 new messages. Judai pressed a button on the machine.

A girl's voice started speaking, "Judai, I haven't heard from you in a while. I was wondering if you were okay. Everyone is worried about you. Please call me back."

Judai sighed, "Geez, Asuka is starting to sound like my mother."

Judai walked into the bathroom as the next message played.

"Mr. Yuki this is our fourth warning that if you don't pay your water bill we will shut off your pluming. You have one week to pay us one hundred and fifty dollars, have a nice day." The message ended.

Judai started to brush his teeth as the last message played.

"Hey slacker! Get out of your sloppy mess you call an apartment! All you do is sleep and not talk to anyone, start calling back or I'll drag you out of your apartment!" Manjyome of course, he still hasn't changed after five years.

Judai laughed, "Ya well I hope your brother is doin' your girlfriend right now you jackass."

He spit out the toothpaste in his mouth. Judai came out of the bathroom and stripped down to his boxers. He started walking through the mess of moldy pizza, CDs, bills, and books. He laid down in his unmade bed and turned on the TV, the news was on.

"What's going on with the world today?" Judai said to himself.

The anchorman sat there with a smile as he talked about the world's daily drama. "In other news, Sho Marufujihas won yet another duel yesterday. I must say he is blossoming into a legend!"

"Sho, the guy who could never surpass me is now a better duelist than I'll ever be." Judai said in a blank voice. Judai turned off the TV and laid on the bed looking at the ceiling. "I need to pull it together, I'm broke and I'm going to lose my apartment. Yet, it doesn't bother me."

Judai was almost asleep until he heard a knock at the door. He jumped up out of bed and stumbled on the junk on the floor. He finally made it to the door and opened it.

A short man stood at the door. "Judai!" The man yelled.

Judai rubbed his head half asleep, "Y-Yes Morey?"

"You need to pay your rent!" He yelled again.

Judai rubbed his eyes, "Put I have a week to get the money."

The man shook his head, "It said you had to pay rent, but that is for the government, not me! You owe ME money for letting YOU stay here!"

"I'm sorry Morey but I don't have any money right now." Judai yawned.

The short man held up three fingers at Judai, "You got three days, you hear me? Three days to come up with the fifty dollars you owe me or I'll kick your ass out of here so fast it'll make your head spin!"

Judai nodded and shut the door.

He walked back to his bed and took his pillow and threw it at the wall, "Damn it!" He pulled his hair, "What am I going to do?" Judai flopped back on his bed and stared at the ceiling for another ten minutes before falling asleep.

----

Judai awoke then next morning, it was still crappy outside. This was a sign of a great day. Judai got out of bed and ran he hands through his brown hair. As he stood up he looked at the clock.

"Shit!" He yelled, "I'm late!"

He rushed in the bathroom and pulled on his khaki's on. He slipped on his button up shirt and put on his tie. Judai ran out of the bathroom and put his shoes on than ran out the door at lights speed.

Judai ran outside to the rainy wet streets. He put his briefcase over his head and ran as fast as he could. He came to a crosswalk and it had a red sign to tell people to wait. Judai ran out in the busy streets oblivious to the car coming.

The car screeched to a halt and the driver started cussing.

Judai ignored the enraged man and kept on running. He ran what seemed like forever until he finally came to a large building. He ran through the automatic doors of the newspaper company.

The secretary sat at her desk doing her paper work but stopped to look up at Judai. "Mr. Yuki, you're late."

"I-I know." Judai huffed.

The woman whispered to Judai, "You better see the boss right away before he gets angrier."

He nodded then ran to the elevator that was about to close but he dashed and made it in time to pull it open. The brunette slipped in the elevator and pressed one of the buttons. Judai was so nervous thinking of what his boss would do to him. Even the elevator music wouldn't clam his nerves.

The elevator beeped when it got to his floor and he burst out of it and ran down to his boss's office. People said 'Hello' to him but Judai ignored every one of them.

He finally came at a stop when he was standing right in front of a wooden door. Judai reached for the knob but stopped. He could hear his heart beat through his ears. The brunette regained composer and opened the door to his fate. Judai slipped his skinny body through the door.

A big man was sitting at his desk with his arms folded. The card on his desk read 'Mr. Reeds' apparently that was his name.

Judai stiffened up. The look in that man's eye would scare anyone.

The man stood up from his leather chair.

Judai gulped.

"Mr. Yuki, I know you're young and in your twenties but that is no excuse to be late!"

Judai nodded in agreement.

"This is the third time you have been late for work this week. I have cut you a lot of breaks but I have no use for slackers."

Judai almost laughed, his boss was starting to sound a little like Manjyome.

Mr. Reeds signed, "I'm sorry Mr. Yuki you're a great guy and all but…"

Judai sank, "You're firing me right?"

He closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, but I'm sure that there is a better job out there for you."

"No wait you can't fire me! I got bills to pay! I'm getting kicked out of my apartment!" Judai yelled at the large man.

Mr. Reeds shook his head, "I'm sorry Mr. Yuki but I just can't have you around here anymore."

"No please, I won't have anywhere else to go!" Judai pleaded.

"It's a no Judai, now please get out of my office." Mr. Reeds said.

"I'll be better Mr. Reeds, I promise! I'll get you coffee, I'll clean your house, hell I'll do your laundry just don't fire me!" Judai screamed.

"Judai, don't make me call security." The man threatened.

Judai didn't heed the warning and kept on yelling and pleading, "Please sir I'll be better!"

The man pressed a button that went on the intercom, "Security!" His voice echoed through the building.

In a few seconds very large men came in with black suits and grabbed Judai by both his arms.

Judai struggled to get free but the men were way to strong for him. "You can't do this to me!" He screamed.

Security started to drag Judai out of the office all the while kicking and screaming and cursing. This little show went on until they dragged him all the way downstairs to the automatic doors, where they threw him out on the wet concrete. The automatic doors shut and locked.

Judai ran up pounding on the door, "Let me in damn it! Give me another chance!" He sank down to the ground. He didn't cry but he was crying on the inside.

Judai got up from the ground and started walking. He didn't know where we was gong he just wanted to walk. He didn't have anywhere to go, without a job he can't pay his rent or bills. His credit will be shot and he can't ever have a credit card again. When he was walking he just kept on thinking about what he was going to do after he loses his apartment and basically his life. Maybe he'll go live with Asuka, she wouldn't mind. But her fiancée was a real ass, he wouldn't allow it.

Judai signed, "This wouldn't have happened if I would have listened to my mom about that bimbo I was going out with."

Judai just decided to go back to his apartment; he can't just keep walking around the whole city. He turned around and started to head back. He walked and walked and drowned in his misery.

Judai finally came up to his apartment. He didn't really want to go in but it was his shelter for the night.

He walked up the stairs like always and walked down the dark hallways until he got to his room. But something was wrong; Judai realized his door was open. He opened the door to his room. He froze in shock….everything was gone!
