The Journal of Yuuto

Summary: Written for the Month of Rebellion, the journal of Yuuto as written from the days before the war and during it. Contains slight swearing, descriptions of war, and a very hot Shun Kurosaki. Not technically in chronological order.

Day #1 Prompt: Let's duel!


Dear diary/journal,

I feel stupid already writing in this but Ruri is staring at the back of my head with the wrath of a million suns so I guess I should write something.

My name is Yuuto. Last name unknown and I really don't care enough to find out. Currently 9 years old. My best friend is Kurosaki Ruri when she isn't angry. I enjoy dueling and homecooked food and I don't like birds. I really, really hate birds.

I actually got this journal for my birthday a few weeks back, but I haven't written in it, so here's my first entry. Going to go to Shun's dueling tournament now so . . .

Signing off,
Yuuto

P.S. Don't expect to be written in often. I'm only doing because Ruri is scary as heck.


Dear journal,

I know I said that I wouldn't write often, but I need to rant because Shun's duel was the stupidest thing I had ever seen.

His opponent is the worst cheater I've ever seen! He knew Shun was a good duelist so he tempered with his duel disk. He was definitely laughing when Shun couldn't summon any Xyz monsters and the judges thought that Shun just didn't know how to summon properly because he doesn't go to any proper dueling school.

This is his first tournament too even though he's so old because he's always taking care of Ruri and me.

. . .

Shun is crying. Shun is crying. Okay that's it I've had enough.

Sincerely pissed,
Yuuto


Dear journal,

I think I beat the cheater? I really don't remember. It's all very blurry. I remember summoning my Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and then I think someone knocked into the back of my head and I don't remember anything else.

I woke up in Shun's room and Ruri is scared out of her wits. She just left the room right now so I guess I'll write it all down.

So I found the cheater and we dueled and he was winning before I pulled out Dark Rebellion. After that it's like my memories just disappeared.

My hands are shaking right now, I'm really scared . . .


Yuuto stopped writing as he hear the door creak open. He hid the journal, which was ridiculous violet color that Ruri insisted matched his hair but looked way too girly, beneath the pillow.

Shun walks in with a tired smile and slightly red-rimmed eyes.

"Hey Yuuto, If it makes you feel better, that bastard got caught with illegal devices. They found bugs in his bag that disabled his opponent's duel disk."

Yuuto sat straight up in enthusiasm, "So you aren't disqualified anymore?"

Shun gave a snort, "Yep they came over with an official apology and everything to beg me not to cause a scandal."

There was amusement in Shun's voice, but his eyes were anxious. The sort of emotion that Yuuto knows always happen when the older boy was hiding something from him.

"Yuuto what happened?"

Yuuto gripped the edge of the blanket so hard that his knuckles turned white, there had been Dark Rebellion flying out and then a flash of red before darkness.

"I don't know. I chased after him than we dueled and I can't remember anything else."

Shun's face relaxed slightly, "I'm sure it's fine. By the time Ruri and I got there you already beat the crap out of that guy."

But Yuuto was sick of this, sick of Shun being so calm and understanding and so not like his usual sarcastic self and the fact that the bedsheets really smelled like Shun's hair.

Not that he smells Shun's hair or anything.

Yuuto really needed a distraction right about now. "Can we duel?"

"Duel?" Shun looked confused. "You shouldn't leave the room yet."

Yuuto laughed. "We don't need holograms. We can just play on the bed."

Shun's eyes brightened, "Fine, let's duel."


I totally kicked Shun's ass. It was hilarious seeing him flail around and keep knocking the cards off the bed. Then Ruri came in and dragged him out before he could ask for a rematch.

I guess that's all for today.

Going to take a nap,

Yuuto
