Welcome to another Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal fanfiction written by A Bell Rose! This story is not related to Tsukumo Beru: Yuma's Twin Sister in anyway.

Valia: Are you always like this?

Everyone, this is my new OC. Her name's Valia and she's a bit of a tomboy. This is all from her perspective and she'll be with everyone starting after episode 98.

Valia: You didn't answer me.

No, I'm not. It's only for this story. Now, go get in place.

I knew about Vector. I knew about ZeXal. I knew about Astral. I knew almost everything I needed to know for my mission. If I was going to save my father, I had to help Yuma and Astral. I turned to my family and said my goodbyes before going through the portal and landing in Heartland City.

I was so going to be late for school. First impressions were always important.

Come on, Valia, you can't make a good impression if you're late. Oh, I wish I wasn't living so far from the school.

"Hey, look out!" I heard before someone crashed into me.

We both landed on the ground with the stranger on top of me. The stranger lifted himself up and I looked at who it was. It was Yuma Tsukumo. I could feel myself blushing and I thought I saw him blush a little too. I couldn't push him off because my arms were in an awkward position.

"Would you mind getting off?"

It took him a second to realize what I said. When he did, he jumped right off.

"S-Sorry. I'm running late for school. Hey, that's my school's girl uniform."

"Yeah and I think we're about to be late. Let's go!" I yelled as I grabbed him.

I took us down the route I charted last night and double checked this morning. We got to the school with a minute to spare, which we used to catch our breath. I looked at Yuma, who recovered faster than me.

"You're pretty fast. Did you take track at your old school?"

"Unfortunately, I didn't. I was fast, but I ran out of breath fast and I needed more water. My school was picky about their club members," I stated as I stood. "This is kind of an odd question, but do you mind if I eat lunch with you since I'm new here?"

"Yeah, it'll be awesome to know you better. Which room are you in? I'll come get you."

"I'm in room three. I'll wait outside the door. I'll see you then, kid," I said as the bell rang.

I went to my class and up to my teacher, Shiru-sensei, to ask about my seat. I sat in the second aisle and in the fourth desk back. I was close to the door, at least. That was my concern as a student.

Before the class started, Sensei asked me to give my name and say something about me. I didn't know what to say, so I said what I knew.

"My name is Valia Kyotei and I like to live in another world."

"So we have a daydreamer," Sensei started. "I would like you to know that I don't like it when my students daydream during important lessons. I will ask you this once to attempt to control when you daydreams."

"Hai, Sensei," I said as I sat down.

The class started and I was thinking about what Yuma was doing. I really wanted to meet Astral. I wanted to introduce who I really am to those two, but I knew that Astral wouldn't trust me if I did. On the other hand, if I told them who I am now, they could trust me a little bit. Mostly because I wouldn't be using Vector's plan to get close to him. This was tough. I had to tell Yuma who I am while gaining and keeping his trust.

I could give him a card to prove he can trust me. That might work.

I grabbed my deck from my bag when Shiru-sensei's back was turned. I went through my deck until I found the perfect card. It was special because one of my duel instructors gave it to me. I might not be able to tell Yuma too much about me, but I could tell him what this card means to me.

"This card is very special. A friend gave it to me as a sign of our friendship and then left it by mistake. She never came back for it, but I want you to have it. I think you have what it takes to use it."

I took the card carefully, not wanting to damage it before it went into my deck.

"I promise, Sensei, I'll make you proud of my-"

"Hey, quit daydreaming," the boy next to me whispered. "I know it's boring, but it's almost over. Just stay awake for a few more minutes."

Now that I knew what I was going to do, I paid attention to Shiru's lesson until the lunch bell rang. I grabbed my lunch pouch and waited in front of the door for Yuma. He eventually came along with one of his friends. I think her name was Kotori. Instead of wait there, I walked over to meet them.

"Hey, kid. How was class?"

"It was dull. Could you stop calling me 'kid'? My name's Yuma."

"Well, we forgot to exchange names during our awkward meeting this morning. You can't blame me completely for that. My name is Valia, by the way."

"Nice to meet you. This is Kotori. I'll introduce you to the rest of the gang."

*Shiru- learn

** Kyotei- treaty

Valia: That was pretty good.

Thanks. Now, audience, let's play a game. (You just read that in Jigsaw's voice, huh?) When you review (and you better review), tell me what you think about Valia. Example: If you think she should be with Yuma, you think she is too laid back, who you think she is—

Valia: What was that?

Nothing. Look out for the next chapter.
