Alright, then. I'll be doing both the one-on-one and four-on-one for the dragon boy tournament but one will be in a seperate story. and will also be doing Yugo taking care of Rin and vice versa. but first here's a little something for Halloween. keep in mind, this takes place sometime after the show. Yuya and Yuzu have seperated from the other six. you probably think from my record that I'll be starting with Yuya and Yuzu. but like Nico Smiley told Yuya before dueling Meiru, I'm changing it up.

"Ah, this is the life, able to have my own thoughts not be invaded by three other people," Yuri said.

"Yeah, all you need to worry about is when people catch you trying to nap when you need to be helping set up," a female voice said, making the purple-haired boy groan as he looked up to see Serena.

"Seriously, don't you have anything better to do? I need a break."

"Well, too bad, you don't get to. You were demoted to Red."

"Still can't believe I have to wear this." Yuri was wearing the red uniform instead of the purple outfit he had before.

"Well, you do. So get off your butt and help. It's an honor to be hosting the first interdimensional Halloween party. Or do I need to duel you off your butt?"

"Fine, I'll help, I'll help. Geez."

So Yuri got up, and helped decorate the gymnasium. There was skeletons, fake ghosts, spiders, red punch, body-part shaped candy, etc. Speaking of candy we see Sora trying to sneak some candy. This got him a smack.

"No, Sora, not until tonight," Alexis said.

"You should've left them somewhere else then."

"If we did, you'd sneak in to eat them."

"Fine."

"This is gonna be so much fun!" Grace said as she hung some cobwebs. "I wonder what Yuya will dress up as."

"Seriously, Grace, can't you go five minutes without mentioning him?" Gloria asked, annoyed with her sister. "I swear it's like you have a crush on him."

"Well, he's a great duelist and he's kinda cute. But he has a girlfriend, so that's a no-go."

"Girls, let's get this done," Noro said. "We've only got a few days to prepare. Then there's the matter of costumes."

They agreed, and got to work on the decorations so they could work on their costumes. Alexis wondered about someone from the past. Someone who wore red and captured her heart, but left sometime before the invasion, breaking her heart.

"Alexis?" The blond turned to see Aster. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong."

Aster stared before sighing.

"It's him again, isn't it?" Alexis sighed, nodding. "Listen, we've tried to find him, but can't find any sign of him, but that doesn't mean anything. He could just be hiding out somewhere. Don't forget Alexis, he was my rival. The Professor had to choose between me and him for the Commander-in-Chief of the XYZ Dimension Invasion. I only got the position because he left, which is not how I wanted to get it."

"Still, I wonder where he is and what he's doing."

"We might find out one day. But for now we have to focus on decorating."

"Right, I won't even think about him."

So they got to decorating, but thoughts of the person still plagued Alexis. A shadowy figure watched from atop the academy.

hope you guys like the start. got some costume ideas, but still thinking on some. any suggestions for Yugo and Yuri?
