Hi everyone! This is Sapphire100 speaking, here to give you a brand new story that I hope everyone is going to want to read. ^^

Just to let everyone be clear, this is not a reader insert, but if you feel you connect more so with the character, then be my guess. Also I want to allow this story to grow and hopefully expand further as a whole. This is a long first chapter, so the story is more enjoyable to read. It enacts as both a prologue and beginning chapter.

This story is rated T due to suggestive themes, violence, and minor language — Just saying.

Now…On to disclaimers! I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, the cards, characters, storyline, or anything related to it! It belongs to Konami and it's creators. I only own my OC's, made up cards (if so), the original shows plot also belongs to their creators. The plot changes…well. You get my point!

Enjoy the story! No offense to those who are Bronie's!

Chapter 01: The Day Dreams Came True S01-01

Alesia Sarah Bennet; Always enjoyed watching one of her favorite Television shows to ever hit the market — Yu-Gi-Oh! In the years she spent watching the show, she never knew how much it began to become more part of her life. She remembers starting out with the classics, then GX, after a while 5D'S, and now the one series she never thought would appeal to her in such a traumatic way. Zexal…

"Hello! Earth to Alesia?" I blinked my brown almond eyes at one of my best friends since elementary school, Jenny Spencer. She watched the show back when we were still young but grew out of it by middle school.

"Huh?" I asked in confusion. She narrowed her eyes at me and sighed disappointed. "You were daydreaming again weren't you?" I bit my lower lip and gave her an embarrassed smile. "Guilty as charge?" It sounded more like a question than a statement. I know, I shouldn't be joking around at a time like this. Jenny just shook her head disappointed at me. "Honestly what has gotten into you lately? This is like, the third time in a row since this morning, that you have been doing that?" Suddenly one of the boys in our class came up to us and smirked. "What's the problem this time, Spencer?"

Cyan had blond hair and gray eyes. Which was pretty new to all of us at school, since he was one of the only males who had them. Jenny rolled her eyes at his attempt to flirt with her. "Someone has been daydreaming all day today, and Mrs. Maynerd is not too happy about it. She may end up calling your mom after school, ya'know?" I just gave her a condescending look. "Mrs. Maynerd hates me for some reason." I complained. "…here we go again…" Jenny began.

"Well…, it's true!" I pouted before picking up my backpack, revealing one of my manga books. Cyan's eyes went wide in shock. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time out, time out! You read Yu-Gi-Oh!" Cyan said loudly as the whole class looked towards our direction. Jenny, however, gave him a dirty look that said: 'I'm so gonna kill you for that!' Cyan backed down in shame. "Who's reading Yu-Gi-Oh!?" one of the tan boys asked in class, while another boy pointed towards me.

"Hey, I think she has it!"

I grabbed my manga book and shoved it to my bag, and quickly got up before I was even more embarrassed. But Jenny placed her hands on my shoulders. "Wait, Alesia…" she began until my eyes watered and she gently forced me down while the other kids laughed at me. She gave them a dirty look. "What the hell is wrong with you idiots? You all have something that you like to watch or read with interest. Hey Donald, when's the last time you and your 'bronie' friends watched 'My Little Pony' huh? Yet you're laughing at the fact that my best friend watch 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'?"

Donald placed his hands up in defense as the class 'Ow' at him immaturely, knowing that he and his friends got dissed. "Hey, at least I'm watching something that's considered 'acceptable'. And besides 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' is a card game for boys! Not girls! And only immature geeks play them nowadays." My eyes went wide in shock. Oh no he didn't… The door finally burst open with another girl with blond hair and brown eyes. "Did he just say that Yu-Gi-Oh! is for guys only?!" she screeched. "Oh no…" Jenny said slapping her hand to her head.

"That game is for everyone you two-faced loser! Heck I even play 'Lightswarn' and an 'Izaktor' deck, what do you got to say about that?" she huffed at him, and one of her friends even spoke up. "And I play a 'Madolche' deck."

"Oww! I guess now your gonna say you play itsy-bitsy 'fairies'?" The others began laughing as Donald began mocking the fangirls at the door. "Your meaningless deck would not last against my 'Evilswarm OTK' or my 'Wind-Up'!" Donald countered. Jenny's eyes widen at his comment and pointed an accusing finger at him. "Hah! You really are a hypocrite, Donald! You just said that only immature geeks play it! So why is it that you still have a deck?"

Donald smirked at me. "So I did, but the only reason why I still have it is because I used to play it years ago. Like… maybe two or three? At least I grew up!"

This time what Donald said really got to me. I took my belongings and rushed out of the classroom as fast as I could. "Alesia, wait! It's not even—" the school bell ranged for everyone to get out, but I for one didn't want to stay in that classroom any further than I did.

When I got home, dinner was already being prepared and I just walked into the foyer area taking off my shoes so I wouldn't track it into the house. "Alesia? So you're here already, dear? I thought you were going to the movies with Jenny today?" my mom asked me from the kitchen. "Mom, Jenny and I are supposed to go tomorrow. Today is a school night remember?" Once I took off my backpack and laid it next to me on the couch so I can watch the news for the week, my mom sighs can be heard from the kitchen. "I want to talk to you, Alesia." I hear my mom say as her footsteps came closer towards me.

I looked at her confused. "What is it you want to talk to me about?" I asked her politely. My mom gave me a stern look on her face and that meant trouble. "I got a call from your teacher Mrs. Mayneld today. She said something about you daydreaming in her class today, without even acknowledging that she was there. What is it that made her say something that like that, Alesia?"

I remained quiet as I didn't know what else to say to her. I was weird all together, and I was already getting ready for college soon. I don't want to disappoint her.

"Well?" she asked impatiently. I sighed and looked at her shamefully. "I'm sorry…"

"Sorry isn't going to cut it. You know that you want to finally attend NYU since you scored above average on your SAT test, and you decided to slack off?" she asked annoyed. I looked at her in tears. "I didn't mean to mom! Man, you're acting like I don't study or something. I haven't been getting much sleep lately for these past two weeks. And it seems like every time I go to sleep, the 'visions' get worse."

Now this time my mom looked at me strangely when I admitted as to why I was daydreaming. "Visions? As in what?" she asked concerned. I looked down at the wood floor in my living room.

"Promise me that you wouldn't laugh." My mom nodded at my request and she waited for me to speak again. "Ok, where should I begin?" I quietly asked myself. "Maybe you should start from the one thing that you can remember." Mom suggested, and I looked at her shocked. Perhaps it isn't a bad idea. So I told her about the things I remember until I got to the most scarest part.

"And then what happened?" she asked me. "…and then… some kid from the ZEXAL show appeared to me in the dream-space. At least that is what he called it. You wouldn't recognize him…, next he gave a strange and scary look, and every time I try to wake up. I felt like I got pulled in further into the dream instead. And he said something about 'the power of Eternia' or something like that." My mom sighed and she got up and placed a hand on my shoulder. "You don't need to worry about a thing, Alesia." She told me with a smile. "And another thing, mom?"

My mom looked towards me before she went to the kitchen. "I don't like Mrs. Mayneld at all. She has been having it out for me since I first started school here." She shook her in disappointment. "I'll make sure to have word with her as soon as I can. But for now, just focus on being in the real world, and not that other world."

That night I still had problems going to sleep in peace. I began taking a shower to try and calm me down, but it would seem that no matter how hard I try to relax myself. I would still feel very tense like something bad was gonna happen.

It was only 10:39 pm when I finally decided to go to sleep, however, I felt myself being pulled into the dreamscape again. Then I saw him…

"You came again…why did you come?" the boy had light blue hair and golden like eyes, that was filled with so much pain. "…Hart…" I said in an audible whisper. "Are you here because you seek the power to change?" he asked. I blinked at him confused. "Change?"

"You want to be able to become stronger, to have the will to be able to do anything, and the heart to be who you want to be." He paused before asking again. "Is this not what you seek?"

In all my life, I have never heard someone who wants to be able to help me like this before. Having to hear this from Hart really tells me more about him than I ever have to. But he's just a cartoon character. He doesn't really have the emotional capacity like us real human beings would — It's probably just my active imagination going wild on me again. Maybe Jenny was right, I have to stop being so obsessed with it.

"…So you think you're obsessed, huh?" Hart's voice suddenly brought me back to my reality. "Huh?" I responded confused. "In less than 8 hours, your journey will soon begin. So take this time now to say goodbye to all the people that you love. For the only way to save your world, you must learn what's its like to save another…" Suddenly Hart vanishes in thin air, and the ground begins to crumble little by little. Until suddenly it bursts open and I fell down deep within the pits of darkness, as I was screaming for my very life.

You must find the Power of Eternia at all cost… for all the worlds are at stake, even yours…

I woke up with a startled sound of the alarm clock ringing next to me. I saw that it said 6:15 AM in red, so I had just turned it off. It sounded so annoying! After stretching myself, I got out of bed and looked towards the window and saw that it was going to be a cloudy day. Or rain for that matter. But I still could not shake off the feeling about what I dreamt about yesterday. Jenny would probably be mad at me from yesterday afternoon. So I should probably stay my distance from her for the while.

I'm thinking it is time for me to go to school, but then I took a real good look at what was the date on my calendar. It said Saturday… I sighed to myself and began getting myself ready to get dressed and eat. I wanted to sleep in, but then I would miss out on ZEXAL today…

~Time Skip~

Finally my mom was heading out to work because some jerk didn't want to take the shift for the day. Mom was pissed and told me that she won't be back until late tonight. "You can order out if you like, but nothing too expensive, got it?"

"Yeah, mom. No problem…"

"I stopped what I was doing, all for this…" I last heard her mumble. I sighed again and got myself ready. Ever since Yolanda or should I say my sister 'Cassie' discussed about moving out, she left without saying a word to me. Cassie was my dad's favorite out of the both of us, and once he left my mom, everything tore apart from there.

"…LAST TIME ON YU-GI-OH! ZEXAL!" You can hear the voice of Yuma giving the introduction, and I was already getting excited. "I sometimes wonder what it really would be like living there…"

Suddenly the screen changed to an unknown scene, and Hart was shown on the television. "Is this a brand new episode? Last I checked they have finished the whole show." I asked randomly. "No, this isn't a new episode Alesia…" I heard Hart's monotone voice spoke as he looked out the window. I jumped the moment I heard him. "Aghh! H-how did you know my name?" I asked in shock. "There's no time…" my television screen began warping and suddenly I felt myself being pulled in, darkness suddenly overtaking me…

In Heartland City, it is now the evening, and suddenly Hart awoke from his sleep and looked towards the city as he saw something fall from the sky in a stream of light.

"…Hart? Is everything all right? What were you staring at?" Hart's brother Kite looked at him in confusion before he was able to leave. "She's here…" Kite looked further at him confused. "She? She who?"

But Hart did not answer, and he was almost in trance-like state and looked solemnly towards the window.

I groaned in pain and began to awoke from my unexplained blackout. Oww, my head! What in the world happened to me? My vision began to clear and I end up seeing that I was in some place that had stone walls around it. When I got up I was in pain all over, and began noticing people coming from a few areas and was talking with each other. I gasped at the sight when I saw that they were all animated. And they looked at me in confusion when I did that, but kept walking and minded their own business amongst themselves.

"This is just too weird. Maybe I am just hallucinating." I spoke to myself and began my walk towards the giant heart shape tower on top of the largest building in town.If this place really is what I think it is, then the best place to start would be Heartland Tower. For that I am certain.

Walking towards Heartland Tower I could't help but to be fearful of Hart and what he could possibly do if he were to know I'm here. Yet I was still exhausted from my unexpected visit in Heartland. That was until suddenly I couldn't take it anymore and I passed out completely…

"Hello?! Hey! Are you okay? Say something!" A childish like voice spoke before someone else."Pipe down Yuma. If you keep shouting, your gonna wake up your guest!" I heard a girl's voice.Wait a minute, that voice belongs to Tori Meadows! I woke up with a blur in my vision, and then when I looked further, I see that the characters of ZEXAL was there. Yuma, Tori, Kari, Grandma…and I suppose Astral is there with him but I can't see him despite me being from the real world.

"Hey look she's finally awake!" Yuma asked in excitement. "Yuma!" Tori warned him again. "Oh yeah, sorry about that Tori — I forgot about that." Everyone in the room had anime fell except him. "Um what's going on here…?" I asked confused as to why I was in some bedroom. "Oh ah, we found you in front of our house, so I decided that we should bring you in." Yuma said excitedly. However Kari went ahead and bashed him on the head with her fist. "YOU DECIDED?! Since when did you come to THAT conclusion you twerp?" Yuma looked at her with a pouting face. "But I was the one who came up with that decision."

Yuma held his hands in defense as he was jolted in fear when Kari went up to his face in anger. "If it weren't for me and Grandma's decision for her to stay here, then it wouldn't have happened in the first place!"

"Aghhhh!" He yelled in fear. "Anyway's just to change the subject, what's your name? My name is Tori. And this is here is Bronk." Bronk raised his hand up with a smile. "Hey there…" Then she switched to Yuma. "And the pin headed jerk here is our friend Yuma…"

Yuma caught on to what Tori was saying. "Hey! I'm not pin headed!" he protested. But I couldn't help be giggle at his reaction. Actually with all those spikes sticking out like a sore thumb…

Kari and Grandma introduced themselves next. "My name is Kari Tsukumo and this is Yuma and my Grandma."

"But you can just call me Grandma Haru if you want, my dear. So tell us, where did you come from?" I froze at her question and pondered for a bit. Should I tell them that I'm from another world, where their's is nothing more but a manga and anime show? Last thing I don't need is for the truth to be told.

"Um, to tell you the truth, I don't remember…" Great I just lied. "WHAT?!" Everyone shouted at the same time. "You really don't know?" Tori asked uncertain. I just nodded at her question. "Yeah…I wished I knew more about what happened, but I can't remember." I looked at them sorrowfully. Grandma came and patted my back. "There's no need to further exhaust yourself dear. Why do you just start by the things you can remember?" She suggested.

I frowned at her but then nodded. "Well um, so where should I start? My name is Alesia. Pronounced 'Ah—less—see-ah' Sarah Bennet. I'm 16 years old, and in my Sophomore year." Kari gasped in shock. "So wait you're a high school student?" she asked, however Yuma and the others were in shock. "Oh man! That means that she can't attend our school!" Yuma pouted again.

"Actually, all she has to do is attend Heartland High. It's not too far from the Academy…, so it really isn't a problem." Tori reminded him.

"Um, I attend school… where?" I asked confused. "Well, it's very obvious you have no where to go, so you might as well start attending school and stay here, UNTIL we find out where you come from." Kari reminded. I nodded at her request and looked down.

What am I gonna do now?

The next morning, Yuma had to go to school and I had to go with Kari to go get me some clothes, and have me attend Heartland High. But first we had to head towards City Hall to get me registered, which didn't take too long since they couldn't get any further info on me.

Once all of that was over, Kari had to rush me to the High School as we just passed Heartland Academy. I took a glance at it before I finally saw the School not too far from it. We entered the school and saw that most kids were already in class, so we went to the Main Office for administration and saw the Headmaster. "Here is her registration papers and information. Can you please tell me what else can she do to attend here?" One of the secretaries looked at her papers. "Well then it appears that she is approved to attend. So she can be in the Sophomore year. Your class is on the 3rd floor, room 310. Here is your customized schedule. You will pick up your ID card in the afternoon after school."

The day was just like any other school day at home, but once I introduced myself to everyone, I have received some mixed reception. Some wanted to talk to me and some didn't know me well enough to talk. First period was Math, Second was Science, Third is History Appreciation, etc. But for the most part it was normal in a since.

~Time Skip~

"So Alesia, how do you like Heartland High so far?" The girl named Eri asked. She has dark Blond hair and Light brown eyes. Our school uniform is just like Kari's, and since I have finally got my ID card, I looked towards the Academy and saw that Yuma and his friends was leaving. "Hey, um, Eri you mind if we cut our chat short? I have to catch up with one of my Host family."

Eri smiled and nodded. "Of course. See you on Monday, Alesia. Oh by the way — do you know how to duel?" I blinked a few times and gave a slight nod. She smiled further and nodded back before leaving. So I can finally catch up with Yuma. "Yuma! Wait up!" I said trying before almost running out of breath. Yuma looked up and turned around, only to smile really wide. "Hey! Alesia, come over here, will yah! I want you to meet some friends of mine." I smiled back and nodded, before reaching him and his friends.

I gasped loudly when I did reach him. "Hey, you okay, you don't look so good?" Tori asked unexpectedly. "Yeah, you looked like you ran a marathon or something." Bronk stated to me. "Oh well you don't need to be worried about that. So what's going on?"

"Well, You already know Tori and Bronk. This here on my right is Caswell and on Tori's left is Flip."

"Hi there!" Flip said excitedly. "A pleasure to meet you. So your Alesia huh? Yuma has told us a lot about you and how you just moved in with him. Don't worry, whatever secret you may have is safe with us. We won't tell anyone." I furrowed my brows a bit with a sheepish smile. "Thanks a lot you guys, I would really appreciate it." I told them.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here." Someone said in the background, however this person sounded so familiar, that I didn't know wither or not this was for real! "Shark! Why are you here?" Bronk asked disgusted at the sight. And when I turned around, I immediately took notice to the one and only Reginald Kastle: A.k.a 'Shark'. He gave a look our way with a smirk on his face.

"Shark, I thought you wasn't going to be my friend?" Yuma complained. "Who said anything about that? No, I'm here because of all the rumors going around about your new guest. So I figured why not stop by." He looked towards my way and examined me.

Is he for real?!

He smirked further. "Hmph, Seem's like your pretty ordinary to me. I've never seen you around here before. Mind telling me what brought you here to Heartland City?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "How about none of your damn business?" Everyone had gasped in shock while Shark looked confused. "None of my what?!" He looked discontented.

"You heard what I said, I don't even know you, yet you're trying to get into my business?"

Shark narrowed his eyes. "Gezz, Yuma, where on earth did you pick up this chick?"

Yuma looked at Shark angry. "Really, Shark? You were the one trying to interrogate her and all." He defended. "Hmm, well can you do something about her attitude problem?" He said shrugging his shoulders. I was irked with irritation."It's so annoying, I don't think I can take any of this anymore. I'm outta here." Shark turned away and began walking away from us, while giving me a sideway glance. It didn't look threatening, but he had a sense of confusion and sadness in his eyes for some reason before turning almost cold and he walked further away.

"Ugh! Can you believe that guy?" Bronk asked upset. "It would seem like Shark has it out for Alesia for some strange reason." Caswell observed before he turned to face me. "You should be careful around him, Alesia. Yuma may want him to be his friend, but regardless to what, it's still no excuse as to why he would even think about bothering you."

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, your right Caswell. Thank you for your advice." I told him with a smile.

"Hey, he isn't all that bad." Yuma complained again…

Shark was looking from the corner of the building next to them and gave a small smirk. "So her name is Alesia, huh?" He turned around and began walking home. "Cute, but a feisty chick at that…"

~Time Skip~

The same night, I began writing things in my brand new digital diary about all the recent events and then I began receiving a knock on my door. "Come in…" When I heard the door open, I hear Yuma's voice.

"Um, Alesia?" he asked uncertain for some reason. I stopped what I was doing, and turned around confused. "Yes, Yuma?" He looked at me kinda regretfully and sighed before looking away. "Kari and Grandma would like to see you right now." He said. But the moment he said it like that made my heart pound and fear began to creep up on me.

I wonder why they asked for me…

We went to the living room, only for Grandma and Kari to be there. Lilly-bot was moving around the room getting food ready. Wait a minute… Is Lilly-bot even supposed to be here?! I thought she was supposed to show up in episode 21!

"Um, here she is." Yuma said before stepping away from me and took a seat on the love-seat.

"Hi Kari, Grandma…" I began. "Alesia, we would be very grateful if you would take a seat, dear." Grandma spoke with a solemn look on her face. And Kari's expression showed annoyance for some reason. I looked around for a seat. Until Yuma patted next to him. "You can take a seat next to me if you want Alesia." He kinda suggested. I nodded before making my way over to him and took a seat before he scooted over some for room. Kari cleared her throat so that we can give her our undivided attention.

"Alesia. I'm fully aware that you have no where else to go, and you have just arrived here in Heartland City. However I need for you to explain to me one thing, and one thing only." She said before getting out her Pad and began typing something on it. Before the Screen in the living room showed up a glowing light-pinkish light coming down from the sky in free fall, as it landed on the ground.

I almost gasped at the sight, but then if I did that it would give something away, and right now I do NOT want to anger Kari any further. "Listen Alesia. I know that you have just got here and all. But I just recently did further background check on you."

"Huh?!" I asked confused. "Wait a minute, sis. You said that you wouldn't judge her if she lied or not!" Yuma protested against her. "I said I wouldn't, but not do a through check just in case." She looked at me in the eyes. "According to my findings, it is true that you have no where else to go. However what I did find out is even more shocking. You seem to have no data file of your identity in any where of the Heartland System. Or any system for that matter. No one knows who you are. You don't even have a name in anywhere of the world at all! Just who are you? How did you really get to Heartland City? How come no one knows who you are? Where did you really come from? Did your file get erased or something? If so by whom? Did you pay them huge amount of money, or did someone did it for you? Is someone helping you?! Who? What place…, and most certainly Where?!"

Yuma couldn't take all of the questioning no more and began forcefully get up from his spot on the couch. "STOP IT!" He shouted. Until someone threw a pan at him. It hit his head and he grew a large bump on the spot that hit him. Apparently it was Lilly-bot that did it.

"YUMA WILL YOU PLEASE STOP YELLING? YOU SOUND LIKE A DERANGED CRAZY PERSON, AND IT'S DISTRACTING ME FROM MY COOKING." Lilly-bot spoke before she came and picked up her pan that she tossed at him and rolled back into the kitchen. Yuma slouched down with a bubble seeping out from his mouth and lightly flouted in the air still hanging from there.

"Um, that was weird." I said. "Now Alesia, please don't take this the wrong way sweety. You are a very sweet child, and I'm certain you will tell us the truth." Grandma spoke to me kindly.

Wow, Grandma is the only one who appears calm about this. I hope that this is okay.

I sighed.

"Okay then. Remember when I said that I have no idea how I got here? Well partial of it is true." I began. Yuma finally regained himself. "What do you mean, Alesia?" Finally I saw like a slight light blueish glow that appeared next to Yuma. It was very faint. Almost ghostly like. So Astral has been around listening.

"Well Yuma — let me first answer the question Kari bombarded me with…" Kari looked a bit embraced before nodding at me to continue. "Truth is…, the only reason why you can't find anything about me here is simply because I don't exist in this world." Everyone looked at me wide eyed. "What…?" Yuma asked further being confused. "I'm not from this world, Yuma. I come from…" I swallowed. "…A world where this one, Heartland City is a location that only exist in a anime and manga book called 'Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL'… Where I come from, there is no such place. Not even the places in the past exist except places in other parts of the world such as America or Europe. Domino City, Duel Academy, doesn't exist." I looked down at the floor. "So that's the truth…"

Everyone was so quiet, that I couldn't help but want to look up at them. I wished I hadn't, because now they all had blink expressions on their faces, and it wasn't good. "Um…,guys…are you all okay or something happened?" I asked suddenly. "No way…, so you really are from another world?" Yuma asked almost excitedly. I nodded my head. "And so you're saying that the world we live in now is nothing more then a fictional version of your world?" Kari asked next. I nodded again.

"…And we're all part of a major plot in an Manga and Anime show?!" Yuma asked again. I slowly nodded at his question this time. "Just one other question: Am I the main character?" He asked with a cheesy grin, until Lillybot threw a pot at him this time, but he ended up with a bloody nose instead.

"Lillybot!" He yelled in anguish. "YUMA, CAN YOU STOP BEING SO CONCEDED? DINNER IS READY EVERYONE, OUR GUEST MUST BE HUNGRY!" She said as she did the same thing she did before, and everyone just laughed at Yuma's demise with Lillybot. "So that's what that strange light was. It was you appearing from your world." Kari came to a conclusion.

That night is was somewhat late after everyone had dinner. The food that Lillybot helped prepared was delicious, and I couldn't agree more with Yuma, when he said the same thing. It's strange. Everyone acts out exactly like in the show. I only read a few volumes of the manga, and even took the liberty to look at the Japanese version of the manga in English. I sighed as I just finished my last piece of my homework. Then I heard a knock on my door again.

"Come in Yuma!" I answered. He opened the door with his night clothes finally. "Hey how did you know that it was me that knocked?" he asked confused. "Because you was the one who knocked on my door the last time." I smiled. Yuma laughed with an embarrassed face. "Yeah well that really would make since now that you have mentioned it. Mind if I sit down for a little chat?"

I shook my head at him. "No, I don't mind. So what is it that you want to talk about Yuma?" He sat down next to me on my bed, and thought about the question that he wanted to ask me. "Well, I still can't believe that you come from another world and all that…" I don't see how, you got Astral that came from another world, and its name is named after him…

"Which now brings me to my question. You know about Astral do you?" I looked at him in shock, but I nodded towards him. "Yeah, I know. What about him?" Yuma started scratching his head. "Well you see, he has been meaning to want to ask you something, or should I say a few things to be exact."

I folded my arms and took a look at him. "So what is it that Astral wants to know?" He looked at me before looking towards his right. His eyes went wide and he looked a little confused. "Don't you think she would have said something by now about that?!" he asked nearly angry for Astral to be asking him such a question.

"May I ask what he asked you Yuma?" I asked getting impatient. "Oh, he wanted to know if you knew anything about Number cards, and if you know about his real reason for being here?"

I frowned at the question. "I'm sorry Astral, I can't reveal anything about that. That might change the events that's supposed to happen, and the last thing I don't need is for it to change so drastically…that it can destroy not only your world but mine as well."

Yuma looked back towards Astral and sighed. "He said it's okay. He kind of figured that you wouldn't be able to tell him."

"Thanks for understanding. So what do you want to talk about Yuma?" He thought for a moment and had an 'Ah Ha' experience. "I wanted to know how was your day at school. Since you don't go to mine, and you don't know anybody, I figured it was going to be pretty hard to be there without having any friends."

I smiled at his thoughtful answer. "It was pretty hard, but I'm used to going to new places without knowing anybody. In fact, I only have a few friends at home, and most people often avoid me whenever they can."

"How come?" He asked innocently. "Because they think that I'm weird." I responded. "So what…just because you act different, it doesn't mean that nobody else on this stinking planet is weird too. Honestly, where do people get off with that?" Now he pretty much sounds like me when I want to spazz out.

"Hmm?" Yuma asked while looking towards Astral again.

"Oh Yeah! Well if you think that we're so complex, then why in the world are you here stuck with me then?" Yuma asked offended. There was silence again until Yuma responded to whatever conversation him and Astral was talking about."Oh you think that you are superior then me?!" He turned to me clearly offended. "Hey Alesia! Can you believe this guy? He actually thinks just because he's different then us that my knowledge in dueling doesn't come close to his."

I gave him a sheepish look. "Well sorry to break it to yah, Yuma. But I can't hear nor see Astral, so that one is between you and him."

"… … …"

"Oh um well ah, I KNEW THAT!"

I sighed exasperated at Yuma's response and I couldn't help but believe that Astral might have felt the same exact way…

So what do you guys think? You think this story has a chance at making it through? In the next chapter, what do you think will happen to Alesia? Why is she there? Want to find out? Read and Review!
