1 - Introduction

The small pink-haired girl peered out from behind her father's legs, her eyes taking in the boy standing opposite from her. He had green and red hair, and wore a pair of goggles on his forehead. Around his neck hung an odd blue pendant, attached by a string. Unlike her, he stood beside his father, practically bouncing up and down with energy as he looked over.

Their fathers continued to chat, having moved away from the two children as they spoke. That left the boy who stared at her with his large red eyes. He quickly gave a large grin. The boy's smile was infectious, and the girl found herself smiling back before she even knew it.

"My name's Yuya!" The boy practically shouted, beginning to bounce on the balls of his feet. "Yuya Sakaki! What's your name!?"

"My name's…I'm Yuzu." Yuzu stammered out quickly, cheeks turning red from embarrassment. She was usually so much better at introductions… "Yuzu Hiragi!"

"I bet we're gonna be best friends Yuzu!" Yuya said, extending his arm. Yuzu looked into Yuya's large red eyes again, the boy's eyes shining with a strange light.

At that moment, something strange came over Yuzu. For a moment, the familiar, cozy environment of the Duel School was replaced with an odd, cold feeling, causing Yuzu to shiver a bit. Yuya's smile took on a sinister tone, a strange dark shadow spreading behind him.

In the next moment, that feeling disappeared. Yuya's smile faded slightly as he looked at Yuzu with a tilt of his head, the smile having vanished from her face in that second. Yuzu quickly took the boy's hand, immediately rewarded by Yuya's smile. Yuzu's own smile returned as Yuya shook her hand fiercely with both hands. Before long the two children were on the ground, collapsed in fits of giggles.

A smile tugged at Yuzu's lips, this one more thoughtful as she watched Yuya bounding to his father to ask some more questions. This boy was really something else…

"Best friends."Yuzu quietly promised, glancing down at her bracelet. "Forever."
