~3r'd Person POV~

Gray eyes looked out over the bustling city. Arms stretched out, and reached out to touch the glistening water from what they could see beyond the small window of the miniature apartment held within the city.

Crow gave off a small yawn as he looked out over his balcony, at the busy city below. He saw young, youthful minds rush to duel academy that fresh and upbeat forenoon, excitement and adventure brewing over the new days that were awaiting them in the near future. Smiles spread out over that one set of children like a Mexican wave, a glow of innocence emitting from around them. Cars congested the roads below, packed and jammed like ice cubes in a pack, only there were no ravishing horns flaring or beeping, just shouts of anger and impatience filling the world below.

At least there isn't any more risk of pollution, Crow though casually to himself. It was true, Zigzix had finally come up with an Eco-friendly energy source, which took the world by storm. It was in fact-

Cow crap. You heard me, that is a big power source now. C-O-W C-R-A-P. The world was taken by storm, and now the city was flourishing in Eco-friendliness. On cow crap. Oh well, big things can be found in smelly locations, a piece of advice taken from Ruka which Crow now used a little more often.

Crow smiled quietly and secretly to himself, remembering when the mad spinning scientist had revealed his idea to Yeagar, which resulted in them throwing a massive party, money all on them of course, and it was labeled as the biggest event of the year next to annual clown day and halloween. Crow chuckled to himself, before hastily heading back on inside to his rather warm apartment in which he was comfortable living in for the time being.

The ginger haired duelist dragged out a chair from the small dining table, and placed himself on it in a comfortable seating position. He then began to look through some old photo's of himself and the others at the ark cradle incident, which, to his complete and utter surprise, happened over six years ago. It was also a month ago, when Crow decided to spread his wings and move out of Zora's place, and find some place in which he could call his own nest.

The 'nest of Crow's own' surprisingly, wasn't actually half bad. It was of a fair size, with a medium sized bedroom, which contained of a single bed, posters of birds and photo's of his friends scattered all over the wall, a medium desk in the corner next to the window where he continued to write letters to his good friends Kiryu and Bruno, and a bookshelf in which kept most of his dueling techniques, and photo albums which it's contents could not be replaced, in his own heart anyway.

However, Crow did dearly miss the company of his friends. It may have been one month ago that he left the house hold he had been in residence in for almost six years, but he did miss the laughs and the arguments dearly. However, he wouldn't admit it, not to Yusei or Jack at least, as they would only fuss, or Yusei would fuss and Jack would punch him and argue, saying he was a bird-brained baka. He sighed, as he ran a hand through his wild orange hair and leaned back.

He then heard three knocks at the door. Curious, he arose from his current seating position and went to the peep-hole and peered through it, to see who was the identity of the person that was knocking on his door. He saw a familiar teal haired female, who seemed to brighten up his day with her awkward clumsiness and bad sense of humour, he opened the door, to see Ruka.

"Hey Crow." She said, a broad and bright smile on her face. She was wearing a pair of navy green cargo pants, with a white tee shirt saying 'T-Rex' on the front, with a small dinosaur. She was also wearing a pari of grey plimpsoles, and her hair was in the usual, most of it down with a small side ponytail-she lost the childish pigtails years ago.

"Hiya Ruka. Wanna come in?" Crow offered a fair greeting and invited her inside, which she gratefully accepted. She strolled on into his medium sized apartment, whilst looking around, Crow then remembering she hadn't come to see it yet.

"So, why you in the neighbourhood?" He asked, noticing she had a camera slung around her neck. A small sweat drop then formed secretly behind her head, as she attempted to make up a good lie.

"J-just wanted to see the apartment, that's all!" She cried out, in a vain attempt to make him believe her, but failing miserably. Crow arched a single eyebrow, then walked a little closer to her, making her feel uneasy.

"Your lying." He stated, making her sweat drop form larger, as she waved her arms up in surrender. He took a step back, giving her back her personal breathing space and allowing her to breath a sigh of relief that he was now away from her red face.

"Ah, you caught me. I actually came to ask you for a favour." She revealed, making the tail-bearing signer tilt his face left in pure curiosity, wondering what she would want.

"Favour?" He asked, as she nodded in a response to his small stated question, which consisted of only one word-the very same word she had used earlier.

"Yup. See, I was going to ask if I could take some pictures of this apartment for a course I am doing in modern art and photography. We have to take pictures of an everyday apartment or house, but it has to be eye catching, and since I have already done the outside of the Cuckoo place, which, by the way, I refuse to step into since Jack has not had any coffee this joyous morning -note the sarcasm-, and this was the nearest and best place to come so...please?" She explained, as Crow took this into his brain for some quick consideration.

Ruka had been doing a modern art and photography course at her local college, Gakushū to seichō college for smart and gifted students, and, based on what she had told him about the place and what it was like there, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the fresh experiences that awaited her there. But she always complained about the courses, homework and meal alike, something she obviously picked up from her blundering idiot but funny brother.

"Sure. I'm not stopping you, but on one condition," he granted, but asked for one thing in return, which made Ruka almost bounce off of the walls in excitement, but curious to know what Crow wanted.

"What is it?" She asked. Crow rubbed the back of his head, obviously embarrassed about the request he was about to ask the eighteen year old girl.

"Can you give me some valuable advice about something later?" He asked, a little red from the embarrassment. Ruka stared at him wide eyed, but then chuckled and patted his shoulder.

"Sure!" She said over-enthusiastically, as she whipped her camera into her hand, and began snapping away. She then reminded Crow of Carly when she was younger, snapping away at any scoop that came about.

After Ruka had finished her little facade of snapping snapshots at various different angles of his bedroom and kitchen which pleased the teal haired teen very much, she sat down on one of the dining table chairs, well there were only two of them in the first place, and Crow sat in the other one, a little red of what he was about to ask. Ruka was sure it was a touchy subject.

"So, what did you want advice on?" She asked, as Crow was mentally preparing himself to ask about a hard subject to bring up. Before anybody asks, it was not about girl trouble. It was about how to say goodbye properly.

"How can I tell Yusei and Jack I miss living back there, at the garage?" He asked, revealing he was actually missing his oldest friends very dearly. Rukagasped in her mind, the gasp echoing through about Crow's small but effective revelation, but kept the surprise to herself, as she did not want to seem at all rude to Crow.

"Your lonely here?" She asked. Crow just chuckled a little.

"Not really. But it does get boring here, I guess." He admitted, still a small happy but faked grin on his face. She just placed a hand to her face, sighing. He looked at her with a ':o' expression on his face, not sure of her current gesture towards herself, directed at him.

"Man, why are all males like this?" She silently mused to herself, whilst Crow just looked at her with a slightly annoyed expression on her face.

"If you were lonely, why didn't you just tell me? I'd visit a little more often if you wanted me too." He was a little shocked. He would do that for her? Wasn't she busy with her college classes?

"Really?" He asked. She nodded, before going slightly red at her statement. As she turned to leave, she gave Crow one last priceless piece of advice.

"Crow, remember this: Goodbyes may last forever, but See you's means that your friends will always be there to see you again someday." He smiled, as he ruffled her hair, and she closed the door behind her, remembering to use the advice she just gave for her own use as well as her dear friend Crow Hogan.

Perhaps, one day, they would be more than just friends.

Perhaps.

Me: *Sparkles* I liked the way this one turned out.

Aki: This is a pretty cute couple. Unique, describes Bebe as well, huh Logan?

Logan: Yeah. She was always the one to like weird pairings. I mean, she even wrote about you and that dwarfish gay clown once in her random couple one-shots, remember *hint of evil*

Aki: *Shudders* Don't. Remind. Me.

Me: *AHEM* I am here. Please review!
