SF4E: "Okay, please don't be mad and/or sad that I deleted the old "Behold the Nights". I'm re-writing it and changing some things but the characters are the same, only edited somewhat. I'm making it so that not all of them go to DA and so that some go to East Academy, North Academy, South Academy, and West Academy too. Hunter x Randi is still the main pairing. Please check this out and don't flame me (mainly because I'm re-writing it)."

Chapter I

Beginning a Legacy

The sun was shining down upon an academy resting in the middle of the ocean on an isle. Duel Academy hadn't changed since the legendary King of Games, Jaden Yuki, attended the institution. Jaden still held the title of King of Games and ruled with his wife, Alicia, at his side. His only child would be starting her freshman year at Seto Kaiba's Duel Academy.

Miranda Astrid Yuki opened the door to her dormitory and looked around it. It was small, with a triple bunk bed, and high ceilings with a shaggy green carpet, three desks, and a small kitchenette by the door along with a small bathroom with a mirror, sink, and toilet. An outhouse resided near the dorms and meal hall down below.

"Just like Mom and Dad," Randi laughed slightly, a smile on her face. "Gotta love Slifer."

Randi was a pretty girl, blooming at the age of fifteen, and having inherited many of her mother's facial features and Alicia's stunning green eyes that were the same color of emeralds. Her hair cascaded down her back in ripples of waves and was a dark brown, her bangs an orange shade and exactly like her father's. She was slim, a little bit over average in height, and slightly muscular from her Martial Arts training and all of the soccer she used to play when she was younger. Her skin was a peaches and cream shade, unlike her mother's fair tone. Randi was dressed in a pair of Slifer Red sneakers, a pair of grey-black jeans, an elbow-length black shirt, fingerless red gloves, a red Slifer blazer, and had a black bandana tied around the crown of her head.

"Might as well wait to see who my roomies are," Randi murmured to herself as she started to unpack, "I sure do miss my cousins though."

She pulled out a photograph of her relatives and looked at them longingly.

Randi's older cousin Éowyn Midori Truesdale and Éowyn's younger sister Raven "Rae" Zirra Truesdale both attended separate academies. Éowyn attended South Academy and Rae attended North Academy. They were the daughters of Syrus and Ami.

Éowyn was older by a year and was shorter than Randi. With shoulder-blade length, layered, raven hair streaked with pale green, she looked a lot like her mother, but had her father's rounded face and wide silver eyes with pale green flecks in her eyes.

Rae was only younger than Randi by a few months. She would be starting out in her freshman year too at North Academy. Rae had amethyst eyes, which she got from her Aunt Tyler, which held icy cerulean blue flecks. Her hair was light blue, like Syrus', and was cut so that it fell to the nape of her neck in the back and stopped at her shoulders in the front. Her parted bangs were cerulean blue. She was shorter than Éowyn by a couple of inches.

"Astrid!"

Randi looked up to hear a soprano-toned voice that was like bells. Only her cousins were allowed to call her by her middle name. She smiled at the sight of her twin cousins, Adrian and Antaria Kimana, the twin son and daughter of her Aunt Tyler and Uncle Cam. Both were petite, small for their age, and wearing Ra uniforms. They were both shy, but Antaria was the more energetic one out of the two.

Antaria was fair-skinned; her long raven hair falling to her hips, and natural strands of blonde caught the light. Her hair was styled like Magician's Valkyria and her eyes were an icy shade of dark brown. She wore an open Ra yellow blazer, a black tank top, a yellow skirt, black capri leggings, and yellow converse lowtops.

Adrian's own raven hair fell to his shoulders, parted in the middle, with the left side tucked behind his ear while the right swung free. He had blond tips and icy green eyes. He wore black jeans with a white belt, a longsleeved black shirt, and a Ra vest with black skate shoes.

"Hey, Ani. Hiya, Adi." Randi greeted the twins. "How's Ra?"

"It's great." Adrian said quietly, giving her a rare smile. "How come you're not in Ra too, Astrid?"

Randi paused and replied, "Failed mainly the written exam but passed through the duel portion with flying colors, I guess." She titled her head to the side, "Don't you two have roommates you have to get to know?"

Antaria blinked, "Oh yeah… Buh-bye!" She snatched Adrian by his arm and dragged him out of the dorm, down the steps, and across the bridge all the way to the Ra Dorms.

Sweatdropping, Randi returned back to her task of unpacking, completely absorbed until she heard the door opening. Turning around, she immediately felt her world crumble.

"You have got to be kidding me." Randi's left eye began to twitch as she stared at her roommate.

"No. No, no, no, no, no. I cannot be sharing a dorm with..." the barely shorter girl replied.

"What's going on here?" spoke up a male voice.

Turning to the doorway, Randi felt every emotion that made her blood boil. Rage, hatred, anguish, and fury coursed throughout her.

"Don't tell me, Naomi..."

Naomi Akemi Phoenix nodded slightly, before standing next to her twin brother, Hunter Alec Phoenix. Both had silver hair like their father and the same piercing ice blue eyes. Hunter was around five-foot-six, Naomi and inch shorter than himself. Hunter was an exact copy of his father, right down to the hairstyle. Naomi wore her waistlength hair in a low side ponytail, side swept bangs falling into her left eye.

"Miranda Yuki, daughter of Jaden and Alicia Yuki, the Princess of Games," Naomi said to her brother. "And now one of my roommates..."

Randi scowled, "First of all, it's Randi. Second of all, how the heck are you two, the twins of Aster Phoenix the famous Pro Duelist, in Slifer?" She crossed her arms and stared them down.

Naomi actually smiled at her, "I skipped out on my field exam. Same with Hunter."

Hunter grimaced, "Wherever my sister goes, so do I." He replied bitterly, a deep loathing in his eyes.

Randi looked them over. Hunter was wearing a white longsleeved shirt, a Slifer vest, light blue jeans, and silver Chucks. Casual and simple. Naomi wore a simple white tank with her own vest, a black pleated skirt, white ankle socks, and the same sneakers as Randi. Cute and comfy.

"Nice to meetcha," Randi said to Naomi, not seeing her as much of a threat as she did Naomi's twin. They shook hands in greeting. "Can't say the same 'bout your brother, though. Hinter was it?"

"Hunter." He growled, gritting his teeth. "Miranda,"

"It's Randi! Call me the 'M' word again and I swear I'll punch you into next week!" She hissed.

Hunter crossed his arms, "Fine. You call me by my last name; I'll call you by yours. Deal?"

Randi bit back a nasty comment and responded with, "Deal."

"Guys, please don't fight." Naomi sweatdropped, "We all should be friends."

"Like heck." Both replied, turning their heads stubbornly.

Naomi sighed, 'At least I tried…' She then smiled, "Hey, have you seen our third roomie yet, Randi?"

Randi stopped boring holes into the side of Hunter's head, "Huh? No."

"She's a twin, like me! She's also the adopted daughter of the famous game creator, Duke Devlin!"

"Duke Devlin?!" Randi's mouth dropped open. "I didn't know he adopted kids!"

The Slifer girl grinned, "Yup, him and his wife, Lin. Two twin girls, Atilea and Aelita."

A/N: The Devlin Twins are my OCs and I at least want them to work out in one story. Normally, they're Duke's adopted sisters, not daughters, but I had to alter that bit for this story.

"Which one's our roommate?" replied Randi, looking excited.

"Atilea,"

Hunter rolled his eyes, "If you'll excuse me, you fangirls, I'm needed elsewhere." He turned towards Naomi. "I wouldn't trust her if I were you, Naomi. She's a Yuki and she can't be trusted."

Naomi scowled, "Whatever, Hunter. I'll make my own decisions, thank you very much."

They watched as he left, slamming the door behind him. They winced at the sound before turning towards one another. Randi sat down on her bunk, watching Naomi starting to unpack.

"Sorry if I'm causing issues between you and that egotistical jerk." Randi said.

She gave her a brilliant smile, "It's okay." Naomi replied. "Hunter just gets a little skeptical about the children of people that knew our dad. We usually end up fighting for about two hours before one of us apologizes. We're really close, since all we have is each other and Dad."

"Where's your mom?" Randi couldn't help but blurt out. Sadly staring at her shoes, Naomi had tears fill her eyes. Randi was next to her in heartbeat, giving her a friendly hug. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

"N-No. It's alright." Naomi looked at the taller girl, weakly smiling. "Mom died when Hunter and I were about two. She died saving a little girl from being run over by a car."

Randi had tears filling her eyes, 'No! Don't you dare cry! What are you? A wimp? Don't cry, Miranda!'

Blinking them back furiously, she turned towards the silver haired girl, "I'm sorry to hear that. I've always had my Mom, Dad, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. I've never lost anyone. I know my grandparents died when my mom was eighteen, but..."

Naomi wiped her eyes, "It's okay, Randi. That's all in the past. Hunter and I keep Mom in our hearts. That's all that matters."

"Well, at least we've got one thing in common."

"And that is?"

"We're daughters of two famous duelists!"

She laughed, "Beware of the fanboys!"

Randi twitched, "Believe me. I've had to have my cousin, Rae, use her telekinesis to keep them away."

"Rae Truesdale? She's strong. Isn't she attending North Academy?"

"Scary too, but only if you break her concentration during her serious meditation. Yeah, she is."

Naomi and Randi laughed as they continued unpacking.

Randi paused, before holding out her hand. "Friends?"

Naomi took it, "Friends."

They finished unpacking and waited for Atilea to appear and get acquainted with them.

Meanwhile…

Hunter ground his teeth as he stormed into his dorm, which was only around the corner from Naomi's and Randi's. He was surprised to see one of his roommates already in there, unpacking, and humming absentmindedly to himself while he organized his desk and set up an expensive laptop. Very slowly, the identity of this boy clicked and registered in Hunter's brain.

He was Carter Blaise Princeton, the youngest son of Chazz Princeton, the head of the Princeton Electronics Corporation. Carter's mother, Mindy, was a famous fashion designer. His older brother and sister, Chase and Dagger, both attended West Academy. He was a couple of inches shorter than Hunter, somewhat scrawny, but still healthy. He had spiky jet-black hair that went to his ears and the spikes were downward with auburn brown eyes. The red in them made him appear innocent and he wore all black except for the red blazer he wore.

"Hey," Hunter called, his temper simmered down now that he had a distraction from that nuisance, Randi.

Jumping, Carter looked at Hunter, "Hi."

Hunter grinned, "Name's Hunter Phoenix. I'm your roommate."

"Nice to meet you," Carter smiled politely.

"So, wanna head down to the Meal Hall once you're finished?" Hunter suggested casually.

"Okay!" Carter grinned.

It was apparent they were fast friends.

Meal Hall…

"You call this food?" many of the Slifers grimaced.

Randi grinned, "This looks awesome!" She was about to dig in when someone stepped in front of her.

"Bad, Randi!" tisked a familiar voice.

Glancing up somewhat, Randi let out a noise of surprise, before she leapt to her feet in pure excitement.

"Cody! Oh my gosh! It's really you!" She shrieked glomping the fellow Slifer.

Cody Jamison Hassleberry was the youngest of the Tyranno Three, Tyranno and Lauren Hassleberry's sons. His older brothers, Wyatt Benjamin and Jackson Simeon, attended other academies. Wyatt was attending South Academy and Jackson was at West. Cody had fair skin, dark brown shaggy hair, and dark forest green-brown eyes. Half an inch taller than Randi, Cody let out a small laugh, before hugging her back. They had been good friends for years. Cody treated Randi like his little sister, since he didn't have any of his own, and Randi treated him like a big brother, since the closest thing to siblings she had were her cousins.

"How's little Miss-I-Like-to-Get-into-Everything-and-Anything?" Cody teased.

Randi made a face, "Annoyed because I was about to eat, but somebody stopped me."

Cody wore a Slifer blazer with the sleeves ripped off, a white shirt, with ripped up blue jeans, and his black tennis shoes. Sitting down in the seat next to her, Cody pulled Randi into a brotherly hug, before they all looked towards the doorway.

"Well, if it isn't my roommates!" Cody exclaimed, "Hey, Carter! What's up, Hunter?"

Hunter smiled, "Hey, Code." He noticeably grimaced when he saw Randi. "Yuki."

Randi gritted her teeth, "Phoenix."

Cody looked between the two, a look of puzzlement forming, before he shrugged. He patted the seat across from himself, Hunter frowning before sitting in it, and he glanced at Naomi, who was strangely quiet as Carter took the empty seat next to her. The door opened and in walked in the third roomie of Randi and Naomi, Atilea Anne Devlin.

"Hey, Ati!" Naomi cried happily, waving to her.

Atilea was a with peaches and cream colored skin, sandy brown hair, which she wore styled like the Dark Magician Girl's, and soft jade green eyes. Wearing a red bandana tied around the crown of her head, Atilea was stared at by some of the Slifer boys, but paid no attention to them. She wore a Slifer blazer, a black tank underneath, light blue jeans, and red and orange Nikes. She carried a Moogle plushie in an open black backpack on her back. Cody checked her out and let out a low whistle that only the table he was sitting at seemed to hear.

Cody put a hand to his mouth and whispered, "Hey, Randi? Who's the cute girl?"

Randi and Naomi's mouths dropped open in shock, "Atilea Devlin. Why?"

"Is she attached?" He grinned.

"Not that I'm aware of..." Randi said slowly.

"You thinking about making a move on her?" Hunter nearly dropped his fork.

Randi glared at him, "You don't have an input! This conversation does not include you, Phoenix!"

Hunter slammed down his fork, "I can join any conversation I want, Yuki! And you can't stop me!"

She stood up, waving her fork in his face, "Just because you're some pretty boy with an attitude doesn't mean you've the right to use it on me!"

"What're you gonna do? Eat me?" Hunter blinked, smirking.

Randi actually blushed, sheepishly putting down the fork, just as Atilea approached the table. She checked out Cody and smiled at him. He smiled back and winked at Hunter and Naomi. Carter was in his own little world, eating, and listening to an MP3 player.

"What's goin' on, Randi?" Atilea asked; she had a Brooklyn accent in her alto voice.

"Phoenix trying to make my already insane life miserable," She grumbled, closing her emerald eyes.

Atilea raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?" She replied before noticing Cody. "Oh, I'm Atilea Anne Devlin."

Cody took her hand, and instead of shaking it, brought it to his lips, kissing it gently. "Cody Jamison Hassleberry, at your service, ma'am," She blushed, looking flattered.

Randi and Hunter both gagged, only to be elbowed by Cody and Naomi. Grinning, Atilea took the seat next to Cody, and they began to talk about classes, which would start the next day.

"I have a twin sister, her name's Aelita, and she's a Ra." Atilea was telling Cody, "She's rooming with Randi's cousin, Ani."

Cody smiled, "I'd love to meet her. Is she your identical twin?"

Atilea gave a small nod, "But we style our hair differently and she's a lot shyer than me. She's a studious bookworm too. I'd rather play video games then study any day." She laughed.

Randi, Hunter, Naomi, and Carter all sweatdropped as the two continued to flirt.

"I bet even if you two are identical, you're the prettiest." Cody said, giving her a perfect white grin.

Atilea blushed in reply.

'Dork,' Randi and Hunter thought together.

Ra Dorms…

"Adi, talk to somebody!" Antaria hissed, elbowing the two boys on either side of her, "You too, Elijah!"

Elijah Alexander Truesdale turned pink at being addressed by his roommate's twin sister. They may've been the cousins of his best friend and cousin, Éowyn, but he still felt shy around them. The youngest son of Zane and Alexis Truesdale, Elijah was exactly like his Uncle Syrus personality-wise. He had turquoise blue eyes with silver flecks that were hidden with his dark blonde bangs. His bangs were like his mother's; his locks framed his face, and stopped at the nape of his neck. He was adorably cute and looked shy and innocent. He wore simple blue jeans, a longsleeved black skirt, and a short sleeved yellow shirt.

His older brother, Zarek Syrian Truesdale, was attending East Academy and looked more like his father, Zane. His hair fell to his shoulders in teal layers, just like Zane's, and his eyes were sharp and hazel, just like Alexis'. He was good-looking, having inherited good looks from both of his parents, and he was tall and muscular, unlike his scrawny and shorter younger brother.

Antaria rolled her eyes and spotted her roommate, "Lita! Over here!" She stopped waving when she heard a loud crash from her right and turned to see her twin, chair and all, on the floor. Adrian was blood red in the face.

Aelita Aimee Devlin approached, blinking her soft jade green eyes. Her sandy brown hair was shoulder length and styled like Amy Lee's, the lead singer of the band Evanescence. Around the crown of it was a black bandana. Aelita wore a white elbow-length shirt, a Ra overvest, black cargo pants, black fingerless combat gloves on her hands, and camo sneakers. She was carrying a light green Carbuncle plushie with her.

Elijah sweatdropped, "Adrian? Earth to psycho-boy!" He then slapped Adrian across the face a couple of times. Still no avail. "What has gotten into you?" He then looked up when he saw a female not related to him and blushed to his dark blonde hair roots. "Um, um, um, um, um..."

"Sorry about them, Aelita." Antaria sighed, rolling her icy brown eyes.

Aelita gave a delicate smile, "It's alright, Antaria."

The two girls began to eat their meal, ignoring the stammering blushing Elijah and the passed out Adrian on the floor.

Obelisk Dorms…

The night was still as the ebony lynx leapt inside the dorm through the window from the tree next to the balcony. Halfway through a crouch, the lynx shifted into the form of a teenage boy with chin-length ebony hair and starlight blue eyes that were animalistic. He quickly pulled on a pair of black converse, black jeans, a tight black t-shirt, and a black blazer. He turned and saw his roommate staring at him with a casual look on his face, as if he hadn't just seen a giant cat turn into a Greek teenage boy.

"'Bout time you got back, Sasha." chuckled Austin Roxas Brodie.

Sasha Zindane Lynxanian, an immortal protector of the Kimana Family descendants, jolted slightly. Austin Roxas Brodie was the younger son of Axel and Sheena Brodie, and the only one of the brothers to transfer to Duel Academy from West Academy. He had tan skin, golden brown eyes, and spiky black hair that had a bandana around the crown of his head. The bandana itself was teal and black and he wore a black tank, with a torn brown vest with matching combat pants, and black combat boots. Around his neck was a necklace similar to his father's except it was an eagle and had signs of his mother's famous wind deck. In one ear was a silver earring.

"What are you, a ninja?" Sasha hissed in surprise.

"Technically, yeah," Austin laughed again. "Kaasan's a ninja of the Kagura Clan, remember?"

Sasha sighed and replied, "Let's just head down and eat. I have to check in on Adrian, Antaria, and Miranda."

Austin sighed, "When are you and Dangerouse going to live your own lives?"

"When things quit threatening the well-being of the Kimana Royal Family!"

"Sasha, you've got to learn to live for yourself along with being a never-aging protector of Elyria." Austin paused, wondering if it was wise to continue on, "Danger imprinted."

Sasha stiffened at those words. For nearly 500 years he had waited for the birth and the moment when he would meet the one who would become his sun, his air, his life and he had never found her. And now his younger sister, just now going on 400 years old, had been imprinted?

"To whom?" He whispered, his lips trembling, and his sharpened white teeth visible.

"Andros Eldora," Austin replied softly, "He's Andrion and Candra's five-year-old son. She's waiting for him and going to love and care for him as he grows. Sam emailed me and told me."

Sameron Axel Brodie was Austin's older brother and was still at West Academy. Sam's own eyes were sapphire blue and his black hair was worn in a ponytail while his brown bangs fell into his eyes. Sam wore a black vest over a dark blue/teal tank with black Chinese pants with combat shoes. He also wore a dark teal and black sash with is duel belt overtop of it. He wore his mother's headband the same way she wore hers, black wristbands with an amber necklace around his neck on a black cord, and he wore a gold earring in his one ear like Austin. He was very close to his brother, mother, and father.

"Are you going to be okay?" Austin dared to ask.

Sasha gave a small nod, "I'm heading down to eat. Are you coming?"

Austin nodded as well and followed the shape-shifter out of their dorm. Deep down, he knew that Sasha wasn't okay.

He doubted Sasha would ever stop the feelings of loneliness that lingered in his heart.

Meanwhile…

"Shiva? Are you comin', sheila?"

Katra "Kat" Sheila Cook, the second eldest daughter of Jim and Anika Cook, and the transfer from South Academy, rapped her knuckles on the bathroom door. Her long wavy black locks fell to her thighs and her eyes were dark chocolate brown with honey-yellow flecks. She wore a pair of brown hiking boots, khaki shorts, a dark orange tank, a black scarf tied around her neck, and a khaki vest. On her back was a brown backpack and on her head was a black cowboy hat. A brown rabbit was fast asleep on her bed.

"C-Coming…" a soft-spoken voice replied, before the door opened to reveal Shiva Luna Andersen.

Shiva had teal blue locks with dark violet tips and icy raven highlights, which were worn in two braids that fell to her shoulder blades, and her bangs were like her fathers. Her eyes were heterochromatic, just like her mother Cyrah's, only the left eye was light silver and the right was light green. Shiva wore a silver sleeveless tunic top that stopped in mid-thigh, a green tank underneath, dark blue jeans, black, green, and silver combat boots, her mother's bracelet on one wrist, and a black watch on opposite wrist. She was Jesse and Cyrah's only child and the transfer from North Academy.

"Hey, let's head on down to the Welcome Feast." Kat smiled warmly at her roommate and childhood friend.

Shiva nodded shyly before the two left the dorm.

Later that Night...

"I can't believe you actually know Yuki personally." Hunter sighed in disbelief.

"What's wrong with Rand?" Cody replied, using his personal little pet name for her.

"Uh, she's my mortal enemy." Hunter sweatdropped.

Cody smiled, "Me thinks you're starting to like her and are just scared to admit it."

Hunter grimaced, "Like heck! That's just sick on so many levels!"

"Whatever." Cody climbed into his bunk. "That Atilea sure is somethin' though..."

"Please don't tell me you're gonna form a helpless crush on her." He replied, sighing.

"Helpless? No. Awesome? Yes." the taller boy replied, smiling still.

"Weirdo," Hunter shot.

"Denier," Cody countered.

He thought about that, "Is that even a word?"

"How should I know?"

"Night, Code."

"Night, Hunt."

"Hey!"

"Just kidding,"

As Hunter closed his ice blue eyes, he had an annoying memory of Randi's face fill his mind. Shaking it out, he rolled over, trying to get to sleep, but the thought of the Princess of Games only a few doors down kept him awake. The only problem was he didn't even know why.

Hunter, though a believer in destiny and fate, was quite unaware that a legacy was about to begin when it came to Miranda Astrid Yuki.
