Well first and foremost I just like to say THANK YOU! I mean I got 4 followers and 2 favorites for one chapter and the darn story has only just started and it's only been up for what a week. So yeah some may not think it's a big deal but I disagree. I won't go into detail with that though let's just continue with the story also side note in terms of updates I will at least do one chapter a month, that's to say there won't be multiple chapters a month just that you'll get at least one a month. But enough of that let's get started.
Chapter 2: First Day of School
Hamuko's POV:
After finding out about Judai I decided to head to bed and talk to Makoto about it tomorrow. I was awoke by a knock on my door.
"Hey it's Yukari. Are you awake?" A familiar voice called out.
"Yeah I just got up, I'll be ready in a bit." I answered her.
"Alright then let me know when you're ready so we can get the boys." She said.
With that my mind wander back to Judai. Does he really not remember? What happened to him? I shake my head. Even if he doesn't, we'll help him remember. As I got ready for school and was about to head out something dropped on the floor when I grabbed my bag. It was a small pink box, I picked it up and opened it. Inside was my vanguard deck from when I was young. "I nearly forgot I brought this." I said to myself. Then something clicked in my head. "I wonder if that will work?" I pondered a bit and there was a knock on my door again.
"Hey are you ready yet? We need to go." Yukari sounded annoyed.
I opened the door. "Yep ready to go. Sorry for the wait." I closed the door behind me and we made our way downstairs.
"You go see if your brother is up, I'll go check up on Judai." Yukari told me. I kinda wanted to check up on Judai, but that will only raise questions that I don't want to answer. So I just simply nodded. I also need to talk to Makoto anyway.
Judai's POV:
Morning hit like a brick as usual, then again I was up late last night. If not for the golden rays of the sun hitting my face I probably wouldn't have woken up. After waking up and getting on my uniform and such there was a knock on my door.
"Hey it's Yukari! Are you ready we need to go?" Yukari called out.
"On my way." I grabbed my bag and opened the door. Outside were a drowsy Makoto, a nervous Hamuko, and a slightly annoyed Yukari. "Good morning everyone, let's get going shall we?" Yukari became relieved. We started heading out
"Well I guess you're excited." Yukari pointed out.
"Actually I'm a nervous wreck right now. It's not just a new school, but a whole different country. So I'm worried I may just be seen as that foreign kid that no one talks to." I stated scratching the back of my head.
"Oh come on I doubt it be that bad." Hamuko said walking up next to me.
"I hope so." I said still not filled with a whole lot of confidence.
We made our way toward the Iwadotai station. We purchase our tickets and got on the monorail, which was quite crowded. We all had to stand close to the door. Which works since we need to get off as soon as we get there. After a while Yukari spoke up.
"Sorry if it's a bit crowded, but you'll get used to it." She assured me.
"No worries. I've been on trains like this before, it's not the worst thing in the world." I told her.
"I see. Hey look over there. That's Gekkougan High School." She pointed out the window towards a massive white building in the distance. After the train stopped we made our way towards the school. On our way there, there were countless students making their way to school before the first bell. Quite a few even greeted Yukari along the way.
"Morning Yukari." A female student waved as she made her towards to the school.
"Morning." Yukari returned the gesture.
"You must be pretty popular huh?" Makoto asked her. Her face grew a light shade of red.
"N-not really." She said embarrassed. As we made our way to the front gate, she regained her composure and turned around with a smile on her face. "This is Gekkougan High School! Hope you like it!"
We made our way in, it was a really beautiful school with a school store on the first floor and stone pillars reaching towards a high ceiling. The students were getting prepare for their classes and chatting with their friends. Yukari spoke up again.
"Well this is it. I would give you guys a tour, but I have somethings I need to take care of for archery club. You guys should head to the faculty office to get your schedules and such. Before I go any last minute questions?" She finished.
"So what classes do you have?" Hamuko asked.
"Hmm I'm not sure yet, but it be nice if we all have class together." Yukari gave a cheerful response. "Oh I nearly forgot the faculty office is down that hall on your left." She point to the huge doors towards the left of us. "Ok I really got to go cya." She finished before heading of in the opposite direction.
"Well we should get going then right?" I said looking at my 2 new friends. They nodded. I turned around and we made our way towards the faculty office.
Makoto's POV:
As we made our way towards the faculty office, Hamuko tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey Makoto we need to talk later." She said with a worried expression.
"Let me guess it's about Judai?" I asked her. The stunned look on her face gave me my answer. "You think he's our same friend that we haven't seen in 10 years?"
"Yeah. So I guess you had the same thought." She said.
"Well I know he's the same guy that's for sure. There's way too many similarities for it not to be him." I told her bluntly.
"You're right, and I have an idea on how to get through to him." She said as she pulled out a small pink box. In response I pulled out a similar box but mine was blue. She smiled. "Great minds think alike huh?"
"Looks like we're here." Judai said in front of us.
"We'll talk more later." I whispered. She nodded. Judai opened the door and we walked in. Inside were 3 teachers with paperwork covering nearly every inch of each table. One of the teachers notice us and walked up.
"Ah you 3 must be the new transfer students. I'm Ms. Toriumi, I teach Composition. Welcome to our school." She introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Hamuko Yuuki." Hamuko spoke.
"I'm her twin brother Makoto." I introduce.
"I'm Judai Sendo. It's a pleasure to meet you." Judai introduced himself.
"It's nice to meet you all too. So then let's see here… ok Judai so you're the transfer from America. Looks like you're in my class I hope you enjoy your year here. Ok Makoto and Hamuko you two are in my class as well. Let's see here.… Wow you 2 lived in a lot of different places. Let's see… in 1999… that was what 10 years ago? Your parents-"She gasped, and I know all too well why. "I'm deeply sorry I've been so busy I haven't had time to read all of these." She apologized.
"It's alright we're used to it." Hamuko spoke in a slight pained voice.
"If you say so. Anyway we have to make our way towards the auditorium. The Welcoming Ceremony will be starting soon." Ms. Toriumi finished as she led us out towards the auditorium.
After the ceremony and doing introductions in class, we finished off classes. Me, Hamuko and Judai were about to head back to the dorm when one of the students walk up to us. He was quite tall, and wore a sliver necklace and baseball cap with his school uniform.
"Hey there, I'm Junpei Iori." He introduced himself.
"Can we help you?" I asked a bit annoyed. I wanted to head home already.
"Hey no need to be harsh. I just wanted to say hi. I know how hard it is being the new kid, see what a nice guy I am?" He asked with a goofy grin. We all raise an eyebrow at him.
"Are you causing trouble again?" Yukari asked walking towards us.
"Hey Yuka-tan! I'm just being friendly." He said giving another grin.
"Ever thought you might be bothering someone? Anyway it's we're all in the same class." She smiled at us.
"Looks like it." Judai added.
"Hey don't forget me." Junpei butted in. Yukari giggled. "Anyway I heard you guys were all walking to school together, what's up with that? Were you guys on a double date or are you seeing the new guy from America Yukari?" Junpei teased.
This cause both Yukari and Hamuko to turn red. Wait why would Hamuko go red? I thought. Then I turn to Judai, and it hit me. I get it now.
"You are seriously mistaken we all just met each other last night. There is nothing going on at all." Yukari denied still a bit flustered. "You really should stop listening to rumors. I have archery club today, so I'll see you guys back at the dorm. You better not spread any rumors Stupei." Yukari finished as she headed out. The 3 of us chuckled at her "Stupei" remark.
"Whatever not like people fall for stupid rumors anyway. So how about I show you guys around the area. We can go to Paulownia Mall, what do ya say?" He asked us.
"Well the more familiar I get with the area the better so sure." Judai accepted the offer.
"Well I don't see why not." Hamuko chimed in.
"Not like I got anything better to do." I added.
"Great! Let's go!" The baseball goof said with enthusiasm. And with that we made our way to the mall. We saw a wide provided of shops and entertainment areas, ranging from karaoke, an arcade, and my personal favorite, a music shop. After looking around for a while we went back to the dorm.
"Welcome back you three." Mitsuru greeted us. "So how's was your first day?"
"It was fine." Judai answered. "Anyway I'm gonna head to bed. Cya guys tomorrow."
"Hey Judai hold up." I called out.
"Yeah what's up?" He asked.
"I need to talk to you. Can we head to your room?" I asked.
"Sure I don't mind." He stated with a smile.
"I'll take care of this don't worry." I whispered to Hamuko. She nodded reluctantly and handed me a photo. We made our way towards his room.
"So what's on your mind?" He asked me.
"Does this picture belong to you?" I handed him the photo.
"Thanks man I was looking for this." He thanked me.
"No problem, partner." I said, as I pulled out an identical photo. He looked at me face filled with confusion. "Do you honestly not remember us Judai?"
And done. HOLY FUCK this took longer than I was planning. If you notice the intro is a bit out dated my bad XD.

Anyway as I said up to at least a chapter a month, so in the meantime leave reviews, suggestions, and favorite and follow if you enjoy.
