The Crimson Prince

Disclaimer: I do not own either Yu-GI-Oh! 5D's or A Midsummer Night's Dream. Wish I did though :)

Summary: A simple, magic free day out with friends. Is that too much ask? Apparently, what with fairy/dragon royals, elves, people with wings, and hey, wait, hold on! That's Yusei! Why is he dressed so oddly, and most importantly, just what is he? And why did he hide who he really is from them? So many questions, so little time for Team 5D's and Co. to find the answers, if they want to save Yusei.

Authors Note: This story idea came to me and has been beating me on the head for some time now. Here's a little warning for common sense. Do NOT read Shakespeare at around midnight and then a few hours later watch a cartoon. THIS is what you end up with :( Anyways; this will eventually be slash, so no like, no read. This chapter is safe though. I need your help however. Who do you want Yusei to end up with? It has to be Jack, Crow, Kiryu, a mix, or all three even. Let me know what you think! Please?

Chapter One: Laughter on the Cliffside

Laughter was heard, rolling off the cliff in waves. A group of young men and women, of scattered ages, were walking along the cliff, simply enjoying the free time. No maniacs trying to kidnap them, none trying to take over the world, and, most importantly, no dueling! However, one thing, or should we say one person, was missing.

"Why isn't Yusei here?" A small, green haired boy whined, plopping down on the ground. His twin, with her green hair up in pigtails, responded, "Leo, you know he said he had stuff to do. We can't just expect him to drop everything. After all, this was a spur of the moment trip."

A tall, blonde haired, lavender eyed man sat down nearby and added his thoughts to the matter of their absent friend. "Luna's right, though I find it very odd. He didn't actually tell us what he had planned."

"Lay off it, Jack! It's not like you tell us where you disappear to half the time!" A spiky orange haired man told the other, lying down on the ground. Jack glared at him.

"I, unlike you or Yusei, Crow, actually had a life before you came here and so have other things to occupy my time." Jack told him in his snobbish voice, starting the two in another of their countless fights.

The other two members of their group, a red haired woman and a long silver- haired man, sat on the ground as well, shaking their heads at their friends antics. This was a very common action in this group.

"Kiryu, what do you think Yusei is really up to?" The red head asked her companion.

"I honestly don't know Aki. With Yusei it could be anything from fixing some advanced computer system, to an underground duel with some ridiculously high cost," Kiryu replied with a sigh. The group exchanged amused glances and chuckles at the thought of their spiky, black and gold haired friend and the messes they could usually find him ensconced in. Seriously, if he wasn't elbow deep in motor oil he would be off in some obscure part of town dueling.

"Quite honestly, I think we need to find him a girlfriend, or boyfriend, whichever way he swings," Crow suddenly said right out of the blue, making everyone pause in their own side conversations to look at him as if he had just sprouted wings, or quoted Shakespeare. With him, either would be a shock.

"What? He needs to get out of the garage, and a date would be a perfect reason to. Though, I have to wonder which way he swings," Crow trailed off, getting lost in thought before looking up and noticing the looks the others were giving him. "WHAT!"

"Crow, you are indeed both smart and incredibly dumb at the same time," Jack told him with a role of his eyes once he had managed to find his voice.

"Thanks, hey, wait!" Crow yelled, jumping up and starting on another rant at the blond haired man. The others could only shake their heads in wonder at the strangeness of the conversation subject matter. If only they knew that that conversation would become practically normal compared to what was about to happen.
