Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, Bleach, Bakugan, or Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
"Nii-san! How is my costume?!" An excited Haruto asked Kaito. Kaito smiled at his brother. He was wearing a Hitsugaya Toushirou costume. Whoever that was. Why Haruto chose that costume was beyond Kaito.
"It's very cute Haruto." And Kaito wasn't just saying that. Haruto looked soooo cute that he had a feeling that everyone, and he means everyone, will give him a bunch of candy. 'I'm going to have make sure he brushes his teeth extra twice tonight.'
"Arigato nii-san-Wait!...Why don't you have a costume on?!" Haruto asked his brother in disbelief. Okay, Haruto knew that his brother wasn't the costume type, but come on! It's Halloween! He needs to get into the spirit!
"Because I don't have one," Kaito simply answered.
Haruto pouted. His brother got him there. But then, he suddenly had an idea. "Then why don't you wear dad's old costume?! You know, Kurosaki Ichigo's costume!"
Kaito sighed. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that he was going to agree to this whole costume thing. "Because Haruto. How can I protect you if I am wearing a costume?"
Haruto smirked. "Because, nii-san, Ichigo is able to protect anyone if he sets his heart to it. Like Rukia! Hey! You might be able to find your Rukia, and I'll finally be able to get an older sister! Just like it happened with dad and mom!"
Kaito sighed again. "You are not going to stop until I agree."
Haruto smiled triumphantly. "You are correct. I am not."
"...Fine..." Man, who had ever thought that The Almighty Tenjo Kaito could be controlled by his little brother...
"Come on Ryouga! Man! Why are you so slow!" Rio yelled to Ryouga, who was in his room changing. Well, more like prolonging his time.
"Why do I have to go as this Kuchiyo Byakugan?!" Ryouga yelled at Rio from inside the room.
Rio rolled her eyes in her Kuchiki Rukia costume. "First of all, his name is Kuchiki Byakuya. Second of all, it's because you refused to wear a costume. So I had to choose a costume for you to wear. Third of all, he is Rukia's older brother. You are my older brother, so it makes sense that you dress up as him."
Even though Rio couldn't see him, she knew that Ryouga was rolling his eyes inside. "First of all, we are twins. I'm only older than you by a few minutes. Second of all, you didn't have to choose anything for me. The best solution was for me to have never worn a costume at all!"
Rio sighed exasperatly. Man! This guy was as stubborn as a mule! "Come on Ryouga! It's Halloween! Get into the spirit! Now hurry up! We are due to meet Yuma-san and Kotori-san very soon to go exploring!"
Ryouga tched. "Fine!" In a moment, Ryouga came out looking like Kuchiki Byakuya.
Rio smirked triumphantly. "Finally!" She grabbed her brother's arm. "Now let's go!"
"When are they going to be here?!" Yuma whined as he paced back and forth in his Dan Kuso costume.
Kotori sighed in her Runo costume. "Yuma! Give them time! We've only been here for ten minutes!"
"Demo Kotori! They are-"
"Ah! Yuma-san! Kotori-san!" The two teens looked up to see Haruto and Kaito walking, more like running, towards them. Yuma and Kotori weren't surprised to see Haruto in a costume, but when they saw Kaito, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"E-Eh?! Kaito?" Kotori asked in surprise. Out of all the people in the world, she would have never expected Kaito to be wearing a costume.
Yuma closed his eyes, opened them, and grinned. "Yosh! Even Kaito is into the Halloween spirit! Yahoo!"
Haruto smiled while Kaito hmmphed. "I only came like this because Haruto told me so."
Yuma either ignored him or did not hear him because he continued talking. "Hey! Do you guys want to go trick-or-treating with us, Shark, and Shark's imouto?!"
Kaito and Haruto looked at each other. Haruto was giving him that puppy-eyed look. Kaito sighed. There was just no use in trying to go against his little brother. "...Fine."
Haruto smiled genuinely. "Arigato nii-san!"
"Ani! I found them! Yuma-san! Kotori-san!" Yuma, Kotori, Kaito, and Haruto turned to the source of the voice. Rio was running towards them. Haruto gasped when he saw what her costume was. He quickly turned to look at his nii-san's costume to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
Kotori smiled at her and waved as Rio came to a stop. "Rio-san!" Kotori took a good look at her costume. "Rio-san! You look so pretty!"
Rio smiled. "Arigato, Kotori-san!" Now it was Rio's turn to look at Kotori's costume. "You too Kotori-san! I'm glad you and Yuma-san followed my advice and went as Dan and Runo!"
Yuma nodded. "Yeah! If it weren't for you Shark's imouto, I would have had nothing to wear for this year's Halloween!" Yuma then looked around when he realized that Shark wasn't here. "Shark's imouto. Where's Shark?"
"I'm right here," an annoyed voice declared. The whole crew looked in the direction that Rio came from to see Shark coming from there as well.
Haruto gasped dramatically when he saw Ryouga's costume. "Ryouga-san..." he whispered.
Kaito heard Haruto gasp and looked down in worry at his little brother. "What's wrong Haruto?"
Haruto looked up and smiled at his brother. "It's nothing nii-san."
At that moment, Rio heard Haruto speak and turned to his direction. She smiled. "Haruto-san!" Rio gasped when she saw his costume. "You're wearing a Toushiro costume! Kawaii~!" Though when Rio looked at Kaito's costume, she completely froze in place. "Kaito...You're wearing an Ichigo costume?"
Kaito looked down. "Yeah. Haruto kept bugging me."
Rio blinked at him and looked down at her costume. Then, she blushed. 'Oh no! Ichiruki is my OTP! Man! Why did Kaito have to wear that costume out of all other costumes that there were available?!"
As if reading her mind and after seeing her expression, Kaito answered her. "This was the only other extra costume we had. It was my dad's. Is there something wrong with it?"
Rio quickly shook her head. "N-No! There's nothing wrong! Umm...It's just..."
Fortunately for Rio, she was saved when Yuma interrupted her. "Yosh minna! Now that we are all here, let's go get some candy!" Kotori and Haruto bumped a fist in the air in agreement while the rest smiled at their enthusiasm. They began walking towards some houses.
"Hehehehehehe...Hahahahaha...HAHAHAHA! Let's get this fanservice going!" Thomas shouted like a maniac as he took the lead. He was dressed up as Gagaga Magican! He and his brothers were going as the Duel Monsters Magicians. His brothers followed closely behind.
"Why did I have to wear a girl's costume?!" Michael complained in his Dark Magician Girl costume as he stood next to Chris, who was wearing a Dark Magician costume, in embarrasment.
Thomas smirked evilly as he ran back to Michael. He put his arm around his brother's shoulders. "Because my dear brother, you lost the bet! You knew what was at stake!"
Michael glared at him. 'I was so dumb! Why did I agree to that bet in the first place?! But I was confident that I was going to-' Michael gasped when he realized what really happened. Unfortunately, Thomas had already gotten away from Michael before he could do some damage to him.
"You cheated nii-san!" Michael accused.
Thomas smirked. "Too late for that otouto! Now come on! I bet all the girls, and maybe even some boys will give you all their candy!"
Michael glared at his older brother. "Shut up!"
Chris sighed. "Thomas. Michael. Quit shouting. Even though it's Halloween, there are some people who are sleeping at this moment." 'Like I wish I could be right now.'
Thomas rolled his eyes and went to his brother. "Lighten up nii-san! Have fun! Enjoy yourself! This is one of the few days were you can forget you are twenty and live your life! Live the childhood that you lost!" Thomas exclaimed dramatically.
Chris and Michael sweatdropped. They knew their brother was crazy on a daily basis, but today had to take the cake. "Let's just get going-" Chris began but was interrupted by Thomas.
"Yeah! Let's go pull some tricks on people! Follow me!" Without warning, Thomas sped off.
Once again, Chris and Michael sweatdropped. "Isn't he too exicted for this?" Michael asked his older brother.
Chris smiled. "A little." He looked down at his brother. "But you should be as excited as he is no matter what costume you are wearing."
Michael smiled. "I guess so nii-san." Soon after, Michael and Chris followed their brother.
"Hey, hey!" Yuma shouted excitedly as he ran to a very decorative house. "Let's knock here!" The rest followed him.
Kotori blinked when she saw the house. "Hey Yuma! Isn't this-?" But Kotori was too late.
Yuma rang the doorbell. The door opened. Yuma held out his bag with his eyes closed; thus, not seeing the person in the doorway. "Trick-or-treat!" The others just blinked at an oblivious Yuma. Man, what was wrong with this guy?
"Yuma..." the person said in a menancing voice. Yuma opened his eyes. He "eeked" when he saw his older sister, Akari, with a threatning look. "How dare you visit your own house for Halloween!"
Yuma gulped. "I-I'm sorry nee-san-"
"Get out!"
"Y-Yes m'am!" Yuma quickly ran away from the doorstep and hid behind Kotori. As he was doing that, Haruto walked up the doorstep.
"Trick-or-treat!" Haruto said with a smile which caused Akari to smile.
"Awww...kawaii desu ne~! Here you go!" Akari gave Haruto a handful of candy. She looked up at the rest of the crew. "You know. You guys can have some candy. Except for Yuma."
"Ehh?!" Yuma whined in disbelief. "Why Akari-nee?!"
"Because before leaving, you ate a whole bag that was meant for the people who came by!" Akari accused.
Yuma hung his head in defeat. "...That's true..." He looked up with puppy dog eyes. "...Demo..."
Akari sighed in defeat at seeing her little brother's expression. "Fine...But you can only have one piece of candy, alright?"
Yuma was instantly happy. He got off Kotori and ran to his sister. "Really?!"
Akari nodded. "Yeah."
"Arigato! Nee-san!" Yuma hugged his older sister, and she hugged him back.
After Yuma got his piece of candy and after Akari gave the others candy, they all left that neighborhood into another one.
"Well that was unexpected. Who knew that Yuma-san would forget his own house," Rio commented as they were walking.
"Unexpected?" Ryouga tched. "That was totally expected from an idiot like him."
"Do not insult Yuma," Kaito threatened. "At least he actually has enough courage to knock on doors asking for candy unlike you."
Ryouga glared at Kaito. "What did you say?!"
Kaito smirked. "You heard me. He has more courage than you will ever have."
Ryouga's glare deepened. "Oh yeah. I bet I can prove that I have as much courage as Yuma has!"
"Oh really?"
As Ryouga and Kaito were arguing (no surprise there), Haruto and Rio decided to talk about them.
"Did they always argue like this in the past?" Rio asked Haruto.
Haruto nodded. "I believe so Rio-san. From what I've heard, they once did not want to cooperate to save me and Yuma. They each wanted to go alone."
"Ahh...As expected of my brother."
Haruto smiled. "As expected from mine too." Haruto paused for a moment before he spoke again. "Rio-san?" Haruto waited until Rio looked at him. "You also watch Bleach?"
Rio nodded wholeheartedly. "I sure do Haruto-san! And I can see that you do too!"
Haruto nodded. "Yeah! Hitsugaya Toushiro is my favorite character! I can see that yours is Rukia."
"Ever since I saw Rukia in action, she has been my favorite!"
"Yeah-! Hey wait a minute!"
Rio looked down once again at Haruto. "What?"
Haruto hestitated for a moment. "...The way your older brother and mine are arguing is the same way Ichigo and Byakuya argue!"
Rio blinked in astonishment. She looked at Ryouga and Kaito. Sure enough, what Haruto was saying was true. They are arguing like Ichigo and Byakuya...except the roles were switched. "You're right Haruto-san..."
"Just like the same way..." Haruto paused for effect. "...they argue about Rukia..."
Rio, still astonished, kept agreeing with Haruto even though she had no clue on what he was saying. "You're right Haruto-san...Wait! What?!" Rio got out of her trance and stared at Haruto who had a sly smile on his face.
"Hmm...I was saying that since we all know-Wait! That's a hasty generalization! Let me rephrase that!-since we, those who watch Bleach and ship people up, all know that Ichigo loves Rukia and vice versa, and that Byakuya knows that too, they, being Ichigo and Byakuya, are bound to get into arguments about Rukia!"
He paused for a moment and looked at Rio in the eye. Rio didn't know why, but she suddenly felt being surrounded by ice. "And since you are Rukia...and nii-san is Ichigo..."
Rio blushed when she realized where Haruto was going with that topic. So he wanted his older brother to hook up with her, eh? Rio quickly shook it off when she realized that there were many fallacies in that claim.
"Actually Haruto. It's Halloween. Anybody who is into the spirit will wear a costume-" Rio quickly covered her mouth. 'Oh oh.' She looked at Haruto who smiled innoncently...too innoncently at what she had said. 'I gave him way too many openings for him to attack! I must-'
"Actually Rio-san. My brother only came after I told him that he might be able to find his Rukia. When I said that, he was all for it! And since you are wearing a Rukia costume...then it must be faith! Just like faithshipping! You know, Yusei and Aki...Hey...now that you mention it...You guys remind me of Yusei and Aki! And Ichiruki! You guys are perfect for each other!"
"Who are perfect for each other?" Ryouga asked menancingly to Haruto after hearing most of his speech.
Haruto slyly smiled. "My nii-san and Rio-san of course."
"WHAT?!"
Kaito sighed and put his head in his hand. "Haruto. If you keep acting like this, I won't take you out to trick-or-treating anymore.
Haruto gave a puppy face to Kaito. "Demo nii-san..."
Kaito sighed. "Haruto..."
Haruto hung his head in defeat. "All right...I'm sorry nii-san, Rio-san. I got carried away."
Rio shook her head. "No need to apologize Haruto-san, but I accept your absolution."
Kaito walked over to Rio. "Whatever my brother has said, I also apologize on his behalf.
Rio quickly shook her head. "No no you guys! Really! It's all right! Stop apologizing!"
"Oi minna!" Yuma called with Kotori. "What's taking you guys so long?! Hurry up!"
"We're coming Yuma-san! Kotori-san!" Rio shouted back. She looked at the boys around her. "Let's go you guys!" They nodded and went after Yuma and Kotori.
Unbeknownst to them, a certain magician had heard the entire conversation between Haruto and Rio.
"Hmmm...Interesante...Muy, muy interesante (Interesting...Very, very interesting)," Thomas smirked evilly as he watched the pair of siblings go after Yuma and Kotori. 'I guess this pair needs the magic of love!...And Haruto is right. They do remind me of Yusei and Aki...'
"Thomas? Why are you hiding behind a bush?" Chris asked his younger brother as he and his other younger brother appeared beside him.
"Because...This magician will make a couple come together!" Thomas shouted with a passion.
Chris and Michael sweatdropped. "Nii-san," Michael began. "Are you alright?"
In a second, Thomas appeared right beside his brother. "Of course I'm alright my dear young brother! I just want to spread love between couples in this placid day!" Michael was sweating nervously. What was wrong with his brother?
Chris sighed. "Thomas. Today is not Valentine's Day, and you are not Cupid. Stop with your uncomprehensive blithe attitude."
"Then..." Thomas appeared in front of his brother with puppy dog eyes. "You don't want me to be happy?" he squeaked.
Once again, Chris sighed. 'Why did father make me come?' "Thomas. I know you are up to something. What are you up to?"
Thomas smirked triumphantly and evilly. "Hooking up Kaito and Rio of course!"
Chris and Michael stared at each other and then at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? Why would you want to get them together if they have hardly interacted?"
It was now Thomas's turn to stare at them in confusion. "What are you guys talking about? Of course they have interacted! I remember once-" Thomas stopped talking abruptly.
Michael and Chris wondered why he did. "Thomas? Why did you-"
"Shh!" Thomas silenced his brother. "Listen!" As Michael and Chris listened, they were able to understand why Thomas just stopped talking. An abrasive noise could be heard through the night sky.
All of the brothers looked at each other. "W-What do you guys think the noise is?" Michael asked his brothers.
"I don't know Michael," Chris responded. "It could be anything actually...But if I had to take a guess-"
"A dragon!" Thomas concluded for his brother.
Chris nodded. "Exactly."
Suddenly, a dragon's shadow appeared right in front of them. The three brothers screamed in surprise! But instead of running away like normal people (because they are far from normal), they decided to fight the beast! So the three brothers all punched simutaneously! But as soon as they did that...the shadow disappeared!
The three brothers looked around. "W-Where do you think it could have gone?" Thomas asked.
"I don't know," Chris responded. "But we are going to have to hunt that dragon!" His two younger brothers nodded, and together, they went in search of the dragon shadow...
"Hey! Let's go in this neighborhood!" Yuma shouted excitedly.
Haruto widened his eyes in happiness and ran right next to Yuma. "Yeah! I heard that this neighborhood was awesome for trick-or-treating! Let's go!" Yuma and Haruto ran ahead.
"Haruto! Don't run too ahead-!" Kaito began to shout to Yuma and Haruto, but Yuma interrupted him.
"Don't worry Kaito!" Yuma shouted back. "I'll take care of him!"
"Chotto matte yo! Yuma! Haruto-kun!" Kotori also shouted as she ran after them.
Ryouga sighed. "Mattaku. They act like little kids."
Rio giggled. "Yeah. They remind me of you when we were little!"
Kaito smirked while Ryouga flushed in embarrasment. "Rio! Don't say things like that in public!"
This caused Rio to laugh out loud. "Oh ani-" Rio cut her statement short when she saw something. Both Kaito and Ryouga noticed how abruptly she stopped her sentence.
"What's wrong?" Kaito asked.
Rio blinked out of her trance and shook her head. "It's nothing. I...just thought I saw a shadow move through the trees...It must have been nothing!" Kaito and Ryouga weren't convinced. If she saw something, then it could be trouble.
"We should go investigate," Kaito suggested.
Rio and Ryouga looked at him. "Are you sure Kaito? I mean, I could have just been a bird's shadow or something simple like that. There is no need to investigate," Rio reasoned.
Kaito looked at her straight in the eyes. Rio was taken aback. "But what if it wasn't just something simple? What if the shadow you saw was something bigger?"
Rio widened her eyes, finally understanding what Kaito was talking about. "The Barians!"
Kaito nodded. "Exactly. That's why we must take extra caution on the things we humans witness."
Ryouga narrowed his eyes. "It pains me to say this Rio, but Kaito is correct. We must check it out if the shadow has something to do with the Barians."
Rio nodded. "Yeah!" But then she remembered something else. "What about Yuma-san, Kotori-san, and Haruto-san?" Rio asked.
"Yuma and Kotori will be able to protect Haruto. I trust them. And besides..." Kaito looked into the direction of where Yuma, Kotori, and his brother had gone. "I don't want my brother to get involved in this."
Ryouga and Rio nodded in agreement. Kaito looked at them. "Well, then. Let's go!" They all went after the shadow...Wherever it went...
