Yugi made his way out of the headquarters and called to his dragon. Sukai landed next to Yugi and waited while Yugi climbed aboard. They then took off in pursuit of Ookami and Hyou, who had taken off a while ago.
When Sukai caught up with Sora and Bast, Yugi began to talk to Ookami and Hyou.
"So fancy that? A new dragon rider?" Ookami said excitedly. Hyou nodded.
"I wonder how good he'll be on a dragon?" Hyou added.
"I wonder if he's hot?" Ookami said, which made both girls giggle.
"He's got a dark dragon" Yugi stated, in his own world.
"Yeah? We know that. Quite odd I know..." Ookami said, steering Sora around a building flying the other side of Yugi, so he was in the middle.
"Well, won't that make other armies jealous?" Yugi inquired.
"Well, do you think that any army with any sense would take on the Syoku Ryu? I mean, we're one of the strongest armies that you can get!" Hyou answered.
"Anyway, what you doing now?" Ookami asked Yugi.
"Oh, I've got class now..." Yugi said, not really wanting to go. Hyou looked at him sympathetically.
"Rather you than me!" She said, before making Bast turn to her left and quickly out of sight.
"You know what she's like. I'd better go with her. See ya later Yugi!" Ookami called before steering Sora in the direction Hyou went. Yugi sighed.
It was alright for them. They were a couple of years older than him, so they had done all their dragon classes. They were two of the most experienced dragon riders in the army. It may also have helped that their grand-father (they were sisters) was the best dragon rider in history. The Mage.
Yugi sighed. He believed he would never be strong enough to one day help them in battle, or to help patrol the streets of Domino City.
'You will one day Yugi. I can almost guarantee it' Sukai said to Yugi, before landing outside a large academy looking place. (To make this easier, imagine Duel Academy in GX, only where the Duel arenas are, imagine giant training rings for dragons ;)
Yugi and Sukai walked down the corridors to the main training ring, where the seats were like that of the Head quarters that they had just been to. Yugi sat down in a seat that he spotted was empty and waited for class to begin.
Suddenly, there was a blaze of fire coming from one of the corridors and a large red dragon flew through the open doors. Yugi watched as the dragon circled the arena and then flew over near to where Yugi was sitting and watched as his rider jumped from his back to the row of seats next to Yugi.
At first, Yugi hadn't recognised the rider or dragon but then identified them as Sakura, and her fire dragon Yumi. Sakura was a decent dragon rider herself, training her dragon whenever she had a spare moment. It was paying off.
Sakura bounded over to Yugi.
"Hi Yugi!" she said, before sitting in the chair next to him. Yugi nodded half in his own world again.
"Hey! What's wrong? You're usually all smiles and 'Oh, how are you?' and stuff." Sakura asked, her expression worried. Yugi looked at her.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking...You know that new dragon rider..." Yugi began.
"The one with the dark dragon? Yeah, he's supposed to be really good you know. It's said that all dark dragons are" Sakura said.
"What about Light dragon riders? Are we strong?" Yugi inquired.
"Oh yeah! The strongest. But it is also said that light and dark riders have to go against one another, so you better watch your back!" Sakura warned as The Mage walked in.
The room quietened down as The Mage made his way to the middle of the room.
"As you know, we have a new dragon rider, so I am going to allocate someone to help him with his first few weeks of being here." The Mage announced, looking around the room. The new dragon rider himself then came through the doors, with his dark dragon in tow.
Yugi sank in his seat.
'Don't pick me, PLEASE don't pick me!" Yugi thought to himself.
'Why not?' Sukai asked.
'Because he's a dark dragon rider'
'That's not really an excuse. You're judging him by his dragon!' Sukai answered him.
"Yugi! Yugi, could you please put your hand up so Yami knows who you are" The Mage declared.
Yugi shyly put his hand as everyone turned to him. Yugi went a deep red.
'Yami, so that's his name?' Yugi thought to himself as the new rider made his way to where Yugi was sitting.
Once sat down, The Mage began the lesson. Today was dragon Training, which Sakura was chuffed with. Yami began whispering to Yugi.
"Hi, as you know, I'm Yami and you must be Yugi. You see my dark dragon? His name is Ramses" Yami whispered. Yugi nodded.
Yugi turned around to the platform at the back, where everyone's dragons usually stood or laid.
"The Light dragon in the middle is mine. Her name is Sukai" Yugi whispered back.
"A light dragon eh? We should be against each other shouldn't we?" Yami said, a smirk on his face. Yugi got slightly nervous.
The lesson was over pretty quick and as everyone picked up their stuff and left, Yami stopped halfway down the row they were walking down. He was looking at the platform that some of the dragons still were, only there was a girl on her own, with a light purple dragon by her side. She had a stern look on her face as she looked down on everyone.
"Who's that?" Yami asked
Yugi looked up.
"That's Kibou. She is a very experienced rider, as she has a spirit dragon, as they're hard to train." Yugi answered.
"Does she have to look so...moody?" Yami asked.
"Sssshhhhh!" Sakura shushed Yami.
"Don't ever let her hear you say that!" Sakura warned.
"Why?" asked a very confused Yami.
The trio were now walking along the corridor from which they first entered.
"Well, you see, there was a conflict, quite a while ago between us, and another army, the Ankoku Ryu. Back then, Kibou had a partner, but he was killed by someone in the Ankoku Ryu. Someone with a dark dragon. Since then, she has had a personal hate for anyone with dark dragons and she always looks stern because she's still in mourning and finds it hard to open up to anyone." Yugi explained.
Yami was about to inquire more, when Ookami and Hyou came running down the corridor.
"Where's the Mage?" they asked Yugi. Yugi looked behind him.
"Still in class I think" Yugi answered. The girls thanked him and carried on running.
"Why? What's going on?" Yugi called after them.
"The Syoku Ryu is in great danger!" they called back...
