"Sora!", Yuzu ran, out of breath, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah… I'm fine", he answered, voice neutral as Yuya stood there, face dark.

After they met the cursed dark duelist Yuto, he was finally exposed to the crimes he committed, and worst of all, Yuya was present to witness it.

He needed to buy time to think of a way to get out of this mess.

"Ugh…!", he faked feeling sick, which was easier as he really withstood damage from the earlier duels.

"Sora!", Yuzu held him, "Yuya, we need to take him to a doctor"

"… Right", he looked unsure, but nodded and called an ambulance, taking him in no time to the hospital, where hewas put on a bed, the doctors examining the damage done to him.

I will make him pay… I will make both pay for making a fool of me. Sora scowled as he remembered how he lost to the XYZ users. Filth scum that should have be dead.

He huffed as the doctors finally left him alone, the words "vengeance" rigging loudly on his ears as he pondered about what he should do.

As much as I hate to admit, there's no way I will be able to beat them. I'm too injured for that. He scratched his head in annoyance. And there's also the matter of me practically telling who I am and that nosy Yuya-clone telling me out.

He needed to find a way to convince them of his innocence and quickly.

-Toc Toc-

"Yeah?", he replied, hoping it wasn't the doctor again.

"Excuse me?", Yuzu's head popped behind the door.

Oh, it was her.

"Enter", he nudged, as she hesitantly closed the door behind her and took a seat closer to him.

She looked conflicted.

Oh great, I bet Yuya already told her what Yuto said. He thought with annoyance.

"… How are you doing?", she asked, concerned.

Well, that was unexpected.

"Doing fine so far", he gave a sweet smile, "At least I don't have broken ribs"

"I see…", Yuzu nodded, fidgeting a bit.

"What's wrong?", he asked, wanting her to go straight to the point.

"Yuya told me some… Things", she started, "And… The way you acted today was…"

Oh. So he was right.

"They are scum and got what they deserved", he snorted, making her eyes open wide in surprise.

"So…?", she looked tense, almost as if she didn't believe what she heard.

Well it could work to his advantage.

If she doesn't want to believe in the truth, then I will give her a reason to not believe it.

… Besides he could make use of the situation to his advantage.

"They attacked first", he added, "So it's only logical to eradicate the threat isn't that right?"

"They don't seem like bad people", she added with reluctance.

"Sorry, but didn't we see one of them stalking you and the other almost kicking that Fusion girl's ass?", he pointed, "And then we see him join LDS and the fusion girl doesn't remember him at all. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

"Yes, there is that, but-"

"We received new of only XYZ users attacking people", he continued, "Did you hear anything about Fusion Users? Nope, and you and Yuya also uses Fusion, so it doesn't make you two bad people right?"

There it was, a reasonable doubt

Yuya would be a bit harder to deal with, but as long as Yuzu stood firmly on his side he still had a chance to fall in the good graces of everyone.

Besides…He smiled evilly for a fraction of seconds.

Wasn't she a doppelgänger of one of that trash's comrades? Even better, wasn't she similar to the younger sister of that douche?

How fun would it be to make her distrust and hate them? To make she fight against them and see their faces as she obliterates them or feel the horror of fighting someone with the face of their so called precious comrade?

He almost felt giddy at the thought.

"I need to rest", he yawned, "We can talk about this as much as you want tomorrow alright?"

"Oh… Right", she nodded, standing up, before she remembered something and scrutinized the pockets of her skirt, picking a piece of chocolate, "Here, I brought this to make you feel better, rest well Sora"

Sora gave a blank stare as she dropped the small chocolate on his hands and exited the room.

Well, wasn't she thoughtful?

He opened the wrapping and shoved the chocolate inside, eating it slowly as he savored the flavor.

It was sweet.

"Hum… Well, In the end I think I like her", he licked his lips as the chocolate slowly melted inside his mouth, "My cute and lovely disciple number 1"

Tomorrow would be the declaration of war.
