Just to recap, in the prologue: Shinon and Yuji made a bet while they were watching the Championship duel involving Zarc and Ray Akaba. Yuji lost the bet, and he has to go with Shinon to buy her some ice cream. some character building here, involving Yuji and Shinon: Yuji is a sixteen-year-old duelist with medium black hair and long bleach blonde highlights (kinda like Yuma from Zexal). Yuji uses an Odd-Eyes deck he got from his father, while Shinon is a fifteen-year-old duelist with long light blue hair and slightly shorter than Yuji. she uses a 'Ritual Beasts' deck only because she lost her old deck on the first day of school. Now we have the continuation of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dimensions.
Chapter One: Repaying a Bet
On the way to Spring Star Duel School: Yuji and Shinon are walking to school, while Yuji is having second thoughts about this bet, that Yuji lost the day before. While Yuji is really nervous about this bet, he thinks after he and Shinon eat ice cream: Shinon might kiss him as a thank you. (you know the usual teenage delusions.)
"Shinon, do I really have to buy you ice cream?" Yuji tells her while lagging behind her, nervous to the point that he could imply this could be a date."Yep!" Shinon quickly answers Yuji,"You sure do Yuji, you lost our bet yesterday remember" Shinon teasingly tells Yuji while skipping around. as Yuji remembers their bet from yesterday.
"I know Shinon" "I'm a man of my word, I-I'll buy you some i-ice cream S-S-Shinon." Says Yuji while still shuddering, he still thinks this could be a date. "I know something Yuji" Shinon suddenly thinks of an idea, as Yuji is slowly listening hoping this isn't a date "While I eat my ice cream, we can go by the card shop afterward" Shinon joyously tells her nervous best friend, while confirming all of Yuji's nervous thoughts about this being a date.
"T-That sounds fun Shinon" Yuji shyly replies to his best friend. "Oh and one other thing Yuji," Shinon tells Yuji while being serious yet maintaining a smile. "W-What's that" Yuji nervously says. "This isn't a date by any means, dude,"
"We're just really close best friends if we went on a date: it would probably be fun, but it would be really awkward if it was the two of us you know..." Shinon tells Yuji in a really serious manner, but not serious enough to be upset. "O-Ok Shinon, thanks for letting me know beforehand, I didn't want to panic over hanging out with my friend," Yuji says to Shinon while breathing a literal sigh of relief, about their trip being a date. "No problem" "I just don't want things to be awkward between us Yuji; when we work together: we cannot be beaten!" Shinon tells Yuji while calmly reassures her friend that their trip to get ice cream isn't a date.
After things were assured between the two friends, they walk onwards to the bus station while Shinon talks about her favorite kinds of ice cream. Yuji wonders what cards he's going to get after school, Yuji really wants that Millenium Rare Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon card in the Pendulum Overdrive expansion. Millenium Rare appear in one in every 40 Packs (roughly estimates to a 2.5% chance of pulling one). Suddenly Yuji looks at his duel disk...
"Crap!" Yuji's mind starts to go blank "Homeroom class starts in 20 minutes!" "We're going to be late for duel school Shinon!" "Mrs. Hibiki is going to give us detention for being late!" Yuji frantically tells Shinon.
"Yea, we better get moving Yuji!" Shinon suddenly realizes the severity of the situation. "If I get detention again: my parents won't let me compete in the Dueling Network Tournament in 3 months!" Shinon says while realizing the situation, instead of thinking about ice cream.
Yuji and Shinon were running to the nearest bus station, they had 15 minutes to get to class before Mrs. Hibiki gives them detention. The usually calm and nervous Yuji was a frantic mess: his black hair was starting to get messy and his white highlights were drooping down his face.
"Let's get on a bus Shinon" "Excuse me, does this bus go by Spring Star Duel School?" Yuji asks the bus driver with a frantic look on his face "Yes it does honey, you can get on this bus," Says the bus driver. "Phew thank you so much, I've never been late for class before in my life!" Yuji says in a calm way while trying to fix his hair, after almost being stressed out.
Eventually, the two friends arrived at Spring Star Duel School, Yuji, and Shinon went to their classes. Shinon, being a 'Ritual Beast' user, she usually takes Fusion Summoning classes so she can use what she learns in her duels mostly against Yuji, Yuji on the other hand: he takes Xyz and Synchro Summoning classes, since Shinon is already teaching him Fusion Summoning on the fly due to his losses against Shinon every day after school. After school, Yuji and Shinon go to their respective homes.
So Shinon wants me to go to the store at 5:00" Yuji starts to daydream as he walks home "that's good and all, but I spent the rest of my allowance trying to get to class earlier today" Yuji remembers the fact he spent his allowance on bus fare. "I don't know if my mom would give me some more money, especially for some Pendulum Overdrive packs either," Yuji says while in his thoughts, as he thinks of the worst-case scenario for asking his mom for more money.
Yuji opens his house, and the first thing he sees when he enters, is his thirteen-year-old little sister Maaya Ishino, rewatching the Zarc-Ray Akaba duel from yesterday, and his mother Eiko Ishino cleaning up some dishes in the kitchen. Maaya is a huge fan of Zarc, she uses a deck that similar to his deck, which are the Performages. Eiko used to duel when she was younger, but she retired from dueling, but she does usually help Maaya out when she practices her dueling since Performages are a Xyz Summoning deck and Eiko used to use a Xyz Summoning deck.
"Hi, mom!" "Hey, little sis" Yuji cheerily says to both his family members. "Hello there son, how was class today?," Eiko tells her son, while she's getting out some Rice Cakes and Steak. "It was the best mom, I started to learn how to Synchro Summon at class today!" Yuji proudly tells his mom since he's learning about new summoning methods
"That's great son!"
"It's always great to learn a new Summoning Method when you're already young" Eiko smiles at Yuji after learning that Yuji is in the Synchro Summoning Class. "Who's your Synchro Summoning teacher Yuji?" Eiko asks her son "Umm, Her name is Ms. Luna Izinski, she's the adopted daughter of Akiza Izinski and twin sister of Pro Duelist Leo Izinski." Yuji proudly tells his mom. "Oh! That Luna Izinski?"
"She along with Team 5Ds helped save the world from an evil duelist cult twenty or thirty years ago, her main monster was 'Ancient Fairy Dragon'," Eiko tells Yuji while keeping her composure, due to the fact that she went to Duel Academy with Leo and Luna in the past "Team 5Ds?!" "You mean the legendary team with the legendary Duelists: Yusei Fudo and former Duel King Jack Atlas?" "I'm such a huge fan of Yusei Fudo, mom! I even have an old poster of Team 5Ds in my room." Yuji told his mom
"Mom, can I ask you something?" Yuji nervously asks his mom
"Sure son, what is it?" Eiko replies "I'll just get right to it... Shinon and I are going to the store to eat some ice cream and buy card packs later today" "Do you have any money I can borrow so I can buy some ice cream and seven packs of 'Pendulum Overdrive'?" Yuji asks his mom "Sure Yuji, you can have some money" "Since you're a registered duel student, you get discounts on card packs remember?" Eiko happily replies
"Wait, a discount on cards?" "When did someone say something about a discount on cards?" Yuji mutters to himself.
-Flashback-
"Welcome to Spring Star Duel School" "I am your homeroom teacher, Mrs. Midori Hibiki" "There are some policies involving the Commission of Duel Monsters, that have been happening since the first ever Duel Academy opened up fifty years ago." "First due to the policy that the founder of Duel Academy: Seto Kaiba announced, that every duelist who enrolls in a Duel School will have 40% off any card pack just so no duelist won't be left behind by a certain metagame in the Pro Dueling Circuit." Says the new homeroom teacher Mrs, Hibiki while trying to keep a professionalism to her style of teaching
-End Flashback-
"Oh, I remember now, that was during the first day of school four months ago," Yuji mutters to himself after remembering what Mrs. Hibiki told his homeroom class on the first day of class. "Hi!, Big brother!" Maaya pops out of a corner, to say hi to her brother "Do you want to duel me?" "I really think I can beat you this time!" Maaya confidently tells her big brother "That sounds like some fun, Maaya" "But I can't right now little sis," Yuji tells his little sister, while after hearing this, tears start to come out of Maaya's eyes.
"W-Why not Yuji?" Maaya tells her brother while holding back tears "Maaya I really understand, it's just that big brother has to work on learning all of the Summoning Methods," Yuji tells Maaya while hugging her while apologizing to her, to stop her from crying. "*Sniff* Sniff* I get it now, big brother!" "You don't want to duel me because I'm going to wipe the floor with you," Maaya says to Yuji while laughing at him "*laughs* In reality, little sis, I'm going with Shinon to buy ice cream," Yuji tells his sister his situation he's currently in right now.
"Plus I'm going to get some 'Pendulum Overdrive' Packs, if I find any Performage cards, I'll give them to you, Maaya" Yuji whispers to Maaya while trying to entice his sister to keep things a secret. "That sounds like some fun, big brother." "But I hope. 'bribing' me with 'Performage' cards won't just be an everyday thing just to get out of a duel" Maaya tells her brother with a little bit of irritation in her voice
A few minutes pass and the Ishino household enjoy a dinner involving Rice cakes, Steak, and some soup. After they enjoy their meal, Yuji gets ready to head on to the store to meet up with Shinon. Before he leaves, Eiko gives Yuji 43,217 Yen to spend on ice cream and cards. Now Yuji walks to the store.
-Twenty Minutes Later-
Yuji is finally at the store and meets up with Shinon who brings someone with her, a girl who's the same height and age as Yuji wearing a Mobile Suit Quantum (a parody on Mobile Suit Gundam) T-shirt, glasses, and a knee-high skirt, yet she's really shy and probably got a noticeable blush on her face after seeing Yuji
"Hi, Yuji!" Shinon tells her friend with a visible smile on her face. "Hi Shinon, are you ready for some cards and ice cream?" Yuji replies to Shinon as he moves his arms around"Oh I forgot to introduce you to one of my friends in my Fusion Summoning class" "Her name is Akane, Yuji." Shinon tells Yuji. Suddenly after doing so, Yuji waves at Akane "Hi, Akane nice to meet you," Yuji tells Akane while holding his hand out at her
Akane starts to blush at the sight of Yuji offering his hand to her. After all of that is determined: Yuji, Shinon, Akane walk to the ice cream shop. Due to their bet, Yuji pays for Shinon's ice cream. Now they are on the way the card store so they can buy some card packs. Yuji is really nervous about this, maybe he's thinking he can't pull the card after all.
"Akane?" Yuji says to Akane as he tries to get her attention.
"Y-Yes Yuji?" Akane replies to Yuji "Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?" Yuji asks her "U-Um, My name is A-Akane Hatanaka" "M-My favorite show is Mobile Suit Quantum" "The deck I use are the S-Super Quantals" "My favorite food is R-Rice Cakes" "I really don't like spoilers, being in crowds, and windy days, they are just too windy *chuckles*" Akane slowly introduces herself to Yuji, in an odd manner, while Yuji is a bit interested in why Akane hates windy days.
"Hey, we have a couple of things in common Akane!" Yuji joyously tells Akane "L-Like what Yuji?" Akane shyly asks "We both like rice cakes!" "And I love Mobile Suit Quantum," Yuji tells Akane "Soo. I see you two are getting along quite nicely" Shinon says to Yuji and Akane while eating her ice cream.
"Yea we are Shinon" Yuji and Akane tell Shinon at the same thing
Just as soon as they enter the card store: Yuji and Akane realize that they have a couple of things in common with each other, and they start walking together in the card store, looking for packs to buy and talking about some more things they got in common, even though Akane is blushing so much right now since they are so close together.
"Wow" "Akane is so awesome, plus she's also kinda cute also" "I just hope we can hopefully watch an episode of Mobile Suit Quantum together" Yuji says while in thought and he's starting to blush
"W-Wow" "Yuji is so cute, he's so cool and collected, just like a cucumber in a freezer" "I just hope we can hopefully go on a d-d-date one day" Akane shyly says to herself in her thoughts.
"Sweet I got some 'Pendulum Overdrive' packs" Yuji tells the girls as they continue to eat their ice cream "Well, hotshot, let's see what you get," Shinon tells Yuji in a teasing manner "G-Good luck Yuji" Akane says to Yuji while meekly imitating a cheerleader
Yuji opens up his first pack, inside the pack are: "Performapal Draggin' Dancer" (Ultra Rare), "Pendulum Synchro", "Acrobatic Magician", Performage Stilts-Hopper, Class Change
"Hmm not bad, maybe Maaya would enjoy Performage Stilts-Hopper and Performapal Draggin' Dancer" Yuji mutters to himself in a disappointed manner.
then Yuji opens up six more packs, notable cards he pulled were: Odd-Eyes Umbra Dragon, Rank-Up-Magic: Pendulum Awakening, Odd-Eyes Savior Dragon, Solar Lunar Magician, and Odd-Eyes Reverse. It all comes down to this last pack, everything Yuji has spent will be determined. Yuji is known to not have the best of card pulling luck. Maybe this is the time that luck changes.
"Ok Yuji, final pack," Shinon tells Yuji as if she's trying to tease him while hoping he pulls the card he's been talking about all day. "Ok let's see, let me open this pack: hmm another "Class Change", "Odd-Eyes Zodiac Dragon", "Performapal Assistant Fox", "Rank-Up-Magic: Odd-Eyes Force" Yuji skims through the cards in the pack. "Ok last card lets see here" While keeping face, Yuji closes his eyes. After a couple of seconds off waiting with baited breath to hope he got the card he wanted.
"Holy Crap!" Yuji suddenly sees the holographic hieroglyphs covering the final card in the pack."I Pulled it! I Pulled it!" Yuji says in a really excited way as he pulls out Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon. "Did you get it, Yuji?" Shinon asks Yuji while trying to stay cool while trying to keep her excitement to a minimum. "Yes I sure did, Shinon." "I pulled a Millenium Rare 'Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon'" "This is the rarest card I've ever pulled in my life." says Yuji while still being excited as if he won a Duel Tournament
After calming down after the celebration. Yuji, Shinon, and Akane walk back home. Shinon goes home and leaves Yuji and Akane together. luckily Akane's house is on the same street as Yuji's house. Akane and Yuji realize the situation they are in. They both start blushing.
"Y-Yuji?" Akane says to Yuji while still trying to stay calm and flustered "Yes, Akane?" Yuji asks Akane with a slight blush appearing on his face "I-I'm glad you got your Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon." "It is such a rare card Akane compliments Yuji over pulling a rare card earlier today"Thank you, Akane!" "I'm just as glad as you, so is this your house right here?" Yuji asks her while pointing in the direction of Akane's house. "Y-Yes Yuji this is my house Akane tells Yuji while confirming his suspicion."Well I got to go Akane, I'll see you at school Yuji says to Akane as he starts to walk away.
Yuji walks away, but just as soon as Yuji goes into his house, Akane grabs his arm
"A-Akane?" Yuji starts to blush after suddenly realizing how beautiful Akane is. "I'll see you tom-" Yuji is interrupted by the warmth of Akane's lips pressed upon his lips. Akane and Yuji are kissing each other. The two have just met, and they've already kissed each other.
Yet when Yuji tries to say something: Akane kisses Yuji on the lips without any kind of reasoning. Yuji and Akane are both blushing while they are kissing each other, but at the same time, they just met each other not too long ago. Maybe this could be love at first sight.
"A-Akane, That was great" Yuji nervously tells Akane "Y-Yuji..." Akane is slowly trying to get the confidence to tell Yuji about her feelings. "I-I-I" The words slowly fading away from Akane, suddenly she edges closer to Yuji and...
Just as soon as Akane was going to say that she loved Yuji, She runs home, with her face just as red as usual, after kissing Yuji. Yuji goes to his house to go to sleep, but before he does: he gives Maaya "Performapal Draggin' Dancer and "Performage Stilts-Hopper".
Well, That's the end of Chapter One everybody. So Yuji got his card he's always wanted to get, plus he met a new Friend (and possibly Girlfriend): Akane Hatanaka. So for the summary on the story that says Yuji will be paired with *Spoiler, I guess this explains some things. Yes, Yuji will be with Akane, but they just won't automatically be dating each other yet, maybe its just nerdy love? Oh and the whole "Luna Izinski" thing, I made it up on the fly since I made it a headcanon that Yusei and Akiza adopted Leo and Luna twenty or thirty years ago since, in this story, Leo and Luna were orphans. Probably I could make a reference for Luna and Kuribon; maybe have her have a Kuribon keychain or a stuffed Kuribon doll on her desk. On the Next Chapter, there will be a duel, and the next chapter will be shorter than this sense, basic chapters like this will be conversations and character building, plus duels will be mostly shorter than regular chapters. Until next time everybody, and don't forget "It's Your Time To Shine!"
