More fics that I will likely never finish but hey, maybe I will! :)

It's up to you guys if this one will have romance or not...

Arc Of Smile

Bonds of Student and Teacher

"What is big sister doing?" one of the little kids asked.

She, who was walking ahead from them, looked back and smiled at them almost cheerfully. They watched as she moved back to them, putting her hands on her hips as she stared at them.

"Nothing really. I was just wondering if he you guys knew where I could find some clothes to change into now that I won't be in the Cup anymore..."

The kids thought for a moment before attempting to tell her something all at once. The pinkette just laughed at their cuteness and looked after them as they went ahead, one of the girls grabbing her hand as they did.

None of them noticed a strange presence gazing at them.

"As such, I think we should hand over Serena for Yuzu's sake..."

Said pinkette, now back in Rin's t-shirt and shorts that she had tried on before this whole mess had started and with her hair down, frowned as she observed two people talking about her and Serena as though they were objects to be traded and exchanged. She smiled when the other one, her best friend Sakaki Yuya, spoke in a hard tone.

"No, we will not do that, Sora. They need both of them and would never agree on just one. Do you even know why they want the girls?"

"I don't know."

Frustrated at the lack of answer, Hiragi Yuzu stepped back into the shadows of the alley she was hiding in, heading for the safe spot the kids had shown her earlier. She wondered if she could somehow contact someone to tell them that she was fine...

Once again she didn't notice that Sora had seen her.

"I'm back, did ya miss?" a cool voice questioned.

Yuzu flinched in surprise as she turned around, only to see Shiunin Sora, the ever-present candy in his mouth as he stood there, silently looking at her form as she now faced him. Moments later, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Strangely enough, yes. You did teach me how to Fusion summon after all. Now I'm questioning for what purpose."

"I ... I'm your friend, Yuzu." Sora frowned, crackling his candy around. "I believe you heard me telling Yuya that. I didn't have that many friends back in the Academia..."

"I don't have a reason to believe you... sorry." she told him. "I'm not as naive as Yuya seems to be."

"You should get out of the City." he continued as though she hadn't spoken at all, making her annoyed. "A ... horrible... man has set his eyes on you, in this dimension too. He was trying to make Yuya help him find you and he is working with the Professor..."

"You'd know." Yuzu looked away. "I will likely have to leave since I don't feel like being captured quite yet."

Soon enough, sirens were heard all over the City, causing Yuzu to be worried. Sora chuckled and moved to leave.

"Well good luck to you, Yuzu, you will need it..."

She started to pack up what little things she had on her and was gone by the time the first duel chaser came around.
