Last Time
He touched his lips lightly which didn't go unnoticed. Yugo could feel that warm breath even if he's back from reality…and it scared him half to death…he wants that nightmare to go away, but it won't as long as he's alive…
'What's wrong with me? Why am I afraid of such Human dreams? I'm the feared cursed astralian yet I'm afraid of such a mere human dream? But that being, he was a human yet he's not…something's wrong with that human and that half of his face…I know that…that…that was what Barian creatures looks like…it can't be? I thought I destroyed those beings a long time ago…how could be there is still one alive? I thought I destroyed every living Barian on that world…was it that Barian that tried to pursue me attached to that Human and seek vengeance? Or something more? What was it?' He thought.

CHAPTER 4: RETURN
Tron's Chamber
Tron woke up from the dream he had just came, unlike that person from his dream he wasn't awaken screaming his lungs out nor thrashing like a fish out of the water. He just woke up and sat from his bed, he may not be able to see the other boy's face but he was able to touch him and able to recognize that built once he sees that boy. He can sense raw power on the boy, the Powerful Aura of a Royal Astralian attracts him for unknown reason and that darkness that encasing the light was something unexpected, the darkness was Evil yet gentle and warm, the Gentle Vengeance that supports another darkness that some sort of a curse that vowed a revelation of something prominent and intimidating memories. And that song no doubt sung by that unknown being was the curse itself that vowed Terror and despair to all that was directed with that accursed song and that promised fear and power, It made him shudder in excitement to hear that cursed melody and learn them, whoever possess it he'll do anything to find that singer and will take that melody from him or her. He wants to use the curse against Faker and will make him suffer no matter what and that boy that emanates that unusual aura…he'll find him and would make that boy's powers become his if not, he'll find a way to use the boy by means of rearranging his memories.
"I swear I'll find you…I swear." He said and laughed darkly.
AT DUEL ACADEMY 4 DAYS LATER
Yugo couldn't stop shuddering at that dark sensation and it bothers him more and more, something's bad is going to happen soon he can feel it one his bones.
"You've been shuddering a lot lately, I think you should go to the clinic for a checkup." Jake said.
"I already done that yesterday but Nurse Rina said nothing is wrong." Yugo answered as he stares off into nothing again.
"You're worrying us you know." Ryuga said as he enters the room.
"I'll be fine, nothing to worry about." Yugo sighed.
"We hope so, we don't want you to be harmed in any way now that we're about to commence our plan after graduation." Ren said.
"Nothing's bad is going to happen, I'm well capable of protecting myself…I didn't train martial arts for nothing you know." Yugo huffed as he looked out the window. 'Three days to go and I'll be graduated from this school…Wait for me Yuma…Kaito.'
At the thought of his childhood friend he blushed lightly and quite couldn't understand why he was blushing when he thought about his childhood friend…his three friends shared amused glances saying 'He's thinking of his crush again.' It's rare for them to see their leader have a color on his face since the teen doesn't show any emotions when faced with other people and he's quite vicious and terrifying if he wanted to be. Then they heard their leader's D-Gazer ringing and seen the boy moved to the balcony to have privacy.
Yugo looked at the caller's ID and it showed KAITO…He raised an eyebrow thinking 'Since when did I give my number to him?' He pressed the answer button to answer the call.
"Kaito? How did you get my number?" He asked curiously.
"Yuma…" Kaito answered at the other line.
"Figures…So…Why did you call?" Yugo questioned as he leans on the railings.
"I heard about the robbery a few days ago and I heard that you are going to help them find the stolen things." Kaito answered.
"What are you going to do about it?" Yugo asked hiding his amusement, he knows what comes next.
"I want to know why you agreed to such work…you're thirteen years old for god's sake, can't you do anything normal that thirteen years old always do?" Kaito ranted.
Yugo could only smile at the other's concern even if that other boy hides it too well.
"I'll be fine, don't worry it won't take long." He answered dodging the question why he agreed to work with the police.
"Don't Worry? How could I not? You're my very first childhood friend and had all the rights to be worried! What if something bad happens to you what will happen to Yuma if…If!" Kaito yelled trying to find fitting words to his lecture.
"Kaito…Please…" Yugo pleaded.
"FINE, if you're going I'm coming with you, I don't want you to get in trouble that you couldn't get away…Got that?" The said boy growled.
"If that's what you wish…then do what you want…How's Yuma doing?" Yugo asked lightly.
"He's fine, nothing's bad happening this time…and you?" Kaito answered.
Yugo chuckled.
"I'm fine…the graduation is going to be three days away." He answered.
"Listen up, when you arrive back in Heartland meet me at the park." Kaito demanded.
"Are you asking me?" Yugo teased mercilessly.
He heard the other boy harrumphed on the other line, he let out a laugh that shocked the occupants of his room.
"Ryuga I'm scared can I sleep with you tonight?" Ryuto said as he hides behind his brother who raised an eyebrow.
Yuki, Ren, and Kio hid behind Jake who sighed, Keith and Noba just stood there looking at the hiding teammates. Yugo continued talking to his friend some other things, he's not that angst about his nightmare and he's not an Emo…thank you very much.
"Yugo…last night I had a dream." Kaito changed the topic.
"Oh? Lucky you then…" Yugo humored.
"Actually I'm not that lucky you dolt." Kaito huffed.
"Why so?" Yugo chuckled.
"Can we talk about it when you get back?" Kaito asked.
"Alright…so that's it for now then." Yugo said.
"Yeah…" Kaito answered.
And with that they both hung up. Yugo returned to his room and saw his friends looking at him with eyes as round as tennis balls.
"What?"
"Nothing…" They answered quickly.
"You guys are weird." Yugo muttered and went for the fridge he got all hungry after miffing his childhood friend out.
The next two days was a hell of hiding for all the Graduating students…well except for Jake, Ryuga and the gang leader Yugo who was still running around…possibly only in towels though, the graduating students were being ranched by some lower years and took their things claiming that they were their fans… Yuki, Ren, Kio, Toya, Keith, Noba and Ryuto were hiding from their fans, thankfully none of the fangirls dared to strip their leader's room for they knew the price of stealing Yugo's things and some bastards learned their lessons the other day publicly…as for their leader, Yugo was unlucky enough to go down the hot springs around the school along with Jake and Ryuga. The 7 acolytes of Yugo's gang shuddered as the thundering footsteps passed by and some voices.
"Do you think they're in this room?"
"No shit! No one would dare go on Tsukumo-sama's room."
"You saw what happened yesterday are you…so no one would dare."
"Where could those hotties be?"
Yuki fainted, Ren, Kio and Toya stood petrified, and Keith and Noba were deathly pale and Ryuto who was whimpering for his brother to save him. However at the school grounds Jake got separated from his friends and was trying to cover himself for He Jake Tenjo had been forcibly stripped that the only thing he was wearing now was his Pants and nearly stripped it off by the rabid girls that were after him luckily he got away with his boots were the only ones taken as well as his socks. However his dear friend Yugo was unlucky enough to run off only a towel and boxers on, he shuddered at the thought of the girls drooling at the sight of him only with the Towels and boxers on.
At the other side of the Island Ryuga was lucky enough that his clothes were still intact, his long white coat was with his leader whom he saw running only in towels and boxers on a while ago, he don't want the guy get cold just before the graduation, he love his leader and would follow him to the ends of the earth if he have to. The poor guy was so embarrassed and shaking from the cold winds and running around in towels, well most of the fourth years running around only on their undies and he thanks the lord he wasn't one of them, he'll die from embarrassment right on the spot.
(On a path in the woods a good distance away from the Ra Yellow dorm)
Jake ducked quickly behind a tree as he heard footsteps coming. Well, actually, to be accurate – something which Jake had always prided himself on being – it was two sets of footsteps and coming from different directions. At least one set, the Obelisk student suspected, belonged to Noire, Allie, or Lena, but the second set wasn't running so he highly doubted it was one of them as well.
Sure enough Allie was the cause of half the pounding and in her rush, she ran straight into the second person on the path. The other person was a tall thin nineteen year old girl with straw colored hair pulled back into a pony tail. She was wearing a classy, fitted dark suit and a pair of sunglasses.
"Oh, hi," said the younger fan girl straightening up. "I'm Allie. Who are you?"
"The name's Bond," said the girl, pulling her shades half way down her nose and peering over them, "Jane Bond. You may have heard of my brother."
"James?"
"No! Dean! Why would I have a brother named James?"
Allie looked thoroughly confused but soldiered on anyway.
"So are you here after?"
"The Leader of the Dragon Emperor Gang, Yugo!" said Jane looking dreamy.
Jake felt sorry for his friend back there, wherever he is he had to hide as quick as he can because he had another girl after him and thank god he Jake Tenjo is not that cute and semi-uke like, oh well, it's not that his dearly beloved leader is not that weak in hide and seek and then strip game.
(Somewhere in Duel Academy forest, well away from anywhere relevant)
Jim and the pissed off looking Yugo eyed Kittuna uneasily as the leader of the Shadow Gang Leader Leo fan girls fidgeted with her huge battle ax. She'd been doing that ever since they'd run into a couple of Jake's fan girls nearly half an hour ago and Yugo had the uneasy feeling that she might slip over from merely being psycho to homicidal at any minute.
"I think we're lost," announced Karin suddenly, letting her pick ax slide down from its place slung over her shoulder to swing ideally by her side. Kittuna's left eye twitched.
"No, we aren't!" she snapped, her clutch on her battle ax handle becoming a white knuckled death grip. "I know exactly where we are! The goody-two-shoes' fans are around here somewhere!"
"Darn right we are!" shouted a voice from the tree overhead. "DEATH FROM ABOVE!" Five heads snapped up in time to see a figure spring from the tree branch they'd just walked under and tackle Kittuna in a flying, midair tackle, somehow managing to avoid her swinging ax blade. A brief struggle ensued involving an unfair three against one scenario, but exactly whom it was unfair for was rather hard to tell. Shoving Yugo hard in the center of the chest in her eagerness to join the fray, Karin neither noticed nor cared as the black haired Obelisk landed heavily on his back, breath momentarily knocked out of him. Kate, too, also impatient to put her packet of instant coffee to use in the fight, pushed Jim out of her way, sending the taller boy sprawling. The other Dark Head landed on all-fours, eyes clenched tight shut in previous anticipation for the impact.
Slowly opening one eye, then the other, Jim blinked in surprise when he found a pair of wide, startled, slate gray eyes staring directly at him from only a few inches away. Jim had somehow managed to land with his hands planted on either side of Yugo's head and his legs straddling the shorter teen's waist. Their faces were so close that the slightest bob of Jim's head would have made the tips of their noses brush. Yugo's normally stoic and emotionless features were flushed a deep crimson with embarrassment.
Before either boy could move from this compromising position, however, there was an incredibly bright flash and then a loud CLICK. And then another and another and another. As Jim attempted to blink away the multicolored spots which were dancing before his eyes, a new voice started chatter excitedly.
"I knew it! I knew it! You guys just looked way too hot together to be straight!" The commentary was punctuated by yet another brilliant flash of light. "And uke Yugo, too! Aw, man! I just love this! This is almost better than incest!"
"What the hell?" Yugo yelped, finally gaining enough awareness to shove Jim off, his face still burning fiery red as he sat up. Standing over them was a girl of about medium height with straight, dirty-blond hair and long bangs that flopped nearly to her eyebrows. Clutched in her hands was a large, expensive digital camera, the strap of which was hung around her neck. A brilliant smile was illuminating her face like a supernova as she continued to rant.
"There's no way in hell I'm Uke and I refuse to be one and I ain't going to be topped by anybody!" Yugo snarled. 'Not even Kaito!'
(Somewhere in Heartland)
"ACHOO!" Kaito sneezed.
"Are you alright Dear?" Lady Sakura asked. "Are you getting cold?"
"No…Not at all mother." Kaito answered. 'Someone's must be talking about me.'
(Back at the corner of the academy)
Jake eyed the hoard of drooling fan girls unhappily, but he was out of options – they had him surrounded. The faintest sheen of sweat began to form on his on his brow. This was not good.
The ominous silence was abruptly broken by a yell sounding the same way like Tarzan's and Jake suddenly found himself flying through the air watching his fan girls shrink away into the distance. Or, at least, the majority of his fan girls. In the distance behind him Jake heard someone yell,
"No fair, Leanna! Bring him back!"
It was only then that Jake tried to get a look at his captor. Her curly black hair was pulled back into a short ponytail and the words on her t-shirt read 'I heart Jake.' She was yet another fan girl. She grinned as she noticed him looking at her.
"Isn't this great, Jakey? Now I've got you all to myself!"
It was just too much, Jake couldn't help himself. The normally stoic, calm, collected and above all silent duelist threw back his head and let out a wail.
"NOOOoooo!" He cried as they went into the distance.
(Back at Yugo's untouched room)
The 7 acolytes of Dragon Emperor Gang heard Jake's desperate cry as they saw Leanna with Jake in tow passed by the window swinging on the rope much like Tarzan does in the movie.
"Was that Jake?" Yuki asked.
Keith snorted from where he was standing, he was trying to contain his laughter that Noba had failed to do so and was now rolling on the floor laughing albeit Hysterically.
"No Doubt about it." He snickered.
"Now I'm seeing Tarzan and Jake…" Kio said.
"Was it supposed to be Tarzana and Jake because it was the girl who was carrying Jake, not Jake himself carrying the girl?" Ryuto asked curiously that had set off his friends into fits of laughter.
"Ryuga would be so embarrassed when he hears that from you!" Ren laughed hysterically on the floor.
(At the abandoned dorm)
Ryuga scrambled over the wall in front of the abandoned dorm and sprinted across the open space, jumping the wall on the other side like a hurdle. He knew they'd be after him any second now. The composure which Ryuga Shinryu had always prided himself on maintaining at all times had cracked a long while back – somewhere in between being constantly called Ryu-chan or, worse still, 'Ryunikins' and some freakish fan girl having the audacity to kiss him. By now, the panic he was feeling might even be starting to show up on his face! At least they hadn't managed to strip him down to boxers and a towel – Ryuga was still wearing his sleeveless shirt, pants and shoes thank god, he saw Jim running a while ago with their leader on his shoulder away from the girls hot on their heels and by the looks of it Yugo was already out of breath for the mean time.
"I wonder what happened to them, well at least they still had clothes on, and I wonder Jake already had." He muttered.
He paused for a moment to catch his breath, wiping a little sweat from his forehead with the back of one hand.
"There you are!" Ryuga jumped at the shout and spun around in time to see a girl dressed all in black jump nimbly over the wall next to him, landing noiselessly on the forest floor. She bowed slightly as she stood up. Much to his annoyance, Ryuga discovered that he had frozen again.
The fan girl was carrying a large black bundle with her proudly and offered it to him on out stretched eager hands.
"I found this again for you! You look way hotter in black anyway! I even managed to find the Underworld Dragon Deck again!" She was smiling broadly and Ryuga had gone so pale that he was nearly transparent. The mere mention of the 'Underworld Dragon Deck,' however, was enough to jump start the eldest Shinryu's legs again and there was practically a sonic boom as he took off, legs moving so fast that they were a blur.
"No, wait! Come back!" shouted the fan girl running after him. "I want to be your Dragoness!"
From the distance…
"NO WAY!" came from Ryuga's mouth.
Hell is finally over at the struck of Midnight as Heavenly Light descends upon those who are in the casualties of losing their clothing…those who had survived with clothes on sing the praise of alleluia and cried the tears of joy that their humiliating nightmare is over and ran back to their dorms to find something useful to wear. Yugo stumbled back at his room clutching Ryuga's long white coat, enough to cover him from above and below, he was followed by the new member of the acolytes, the Australian Jim Crow. A minute later the exasperated and wet looking Ryuga came in the room and was dragging a dazed looking Jake Tenjo whom he found tied with vines in the forest like a fly trapped on the spiders net. Keith couldn't help himself.
"So Jake…How did it go with Tarzana?" He asked.
Jake flinched from his position but didn't throw an insult. Yugo raised an eyebrow at what Keith had just said.
"Tarzana?" He asked as he was on his shirt and jeans, now.
Keith grinned widely and explained everything he saw in the window. After explaining the whole gang except for Ryuga, Jake and Yugo were laughing, Yugo was chuckling while Ryuga retaining his dignity after he himself went in all kinds of trouble to get away from the fan girls he even went diving in the lake just to avoid them.
"Let's be thankful that were graduating tomorrow and leave this Island." Yugo said.
So as the day had come the Graduating students look jumpy at the ceremony, looking out every corner and warily around the lower years if they would jump on them again, like what happened last night. The teachers look a bit confused at the graduating students and why do they look at the innocent (Not likely) lower years like they would jump on them anytime soon. Ryuto was hiding behind his older brother clinging on the older one desperately, while Ryuga who was a bit nervous himself, While Kio, Ren, Toya and Yuki looked eager to leave the island and leave the rabid fan girls behind. While Jake, Keith and Noba look ready to run because there were girls looking at them hungrily like they were piece of meat for their dinner, Yugo and Jim were blissfully unaware of their comrades' distress and continued listening to the ceremony. After the Ceremony the Teacher as well as the Chancellor jumped a good 3 feet in the air when all the Graduating Students Except for Yugo, Ryuga and Jim who were nearly jumping out of their skin when all their fellow graduating students shouted:
"FREEDOM!"
And run off to get to the boat as fast as they can before the rabid fan girls and boys get them and be stripped all over again…well, most of them had been…yet again stripped except for The Dragon Emperor Gang who had successfully avoided their rabid fan girls…until…
"WHERE THE HELL IS MY SCARF!"
Well…Jim was unlucky to lose his Dearly Beloved Scarf…
"Be thankful it isn't yer pants had been taken, Mate." Keith said as he put a hand on the sulking Australian.
The ride back to Heartland was very peaceful…no fan girls…no fear of being stripped…and every one were very thankful…
"So Jim…You're living in Heartland now?" Yuki asked.
"Yeah, my parents moved there three years ago." The said boy answered.
"Cool! So all of us were living in the same place!" Ren said happily.
"So where are you going to study college, Yugo-san?" Kio asked.
"I'll study back in Zexal University and keep an eye for my brother." Yugo answered.
"Really? We're studying at the same place as you are, Yugo-san." Ryuto said.
"You guys are really in on following me, are you?" Yugo said raising his eyebrow.
"TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!" The now 10 Acolytes answered.
Yugo sweat Dropped at his Acolytes' antics, but it made him feel happy that his friends were loyal to him, so he too must be loyal to them like he was loyal to his family…being a human is not so bad after all, but he's not going to forget his mission and his vow…he will fulfill them soon slowly. He will take his enemies by surprise once they thought he had forgotten his mission.
HEARTLAND PORT
Yugo bid his friends farewell for now and see them in Zexal University. As he walk off heading to the Park like he promised to his friend…but he did not ignored the two presences stalking him from behind. He turned every corner until he reached the dead end.
"Come out I know you idiots are following me." He called out.
But soon as he called out Barian Chains like the ones on his nightmare wrapped him from his wrist and legs…
"You're good." IV called out…
"Sorry if we have to resort into this." III added…
Yugo narrowed his eyes.
"You lot are not normal people." He said.
"You think so?" IV said as he approached the nonchalant prey.
"Come any closer and you'll regret it." Yugo warned coldly.
"Was that a threat?" IV chuckled.
"Careful IV, he's not joking." III warned.
"Why should we be afraid we got him all wrapped up! Now all we have to do is bring him to Tron-sama." IV Bragged.
Before III could argue a Dark, Evil and Terrifying aura emanated from their Prey…
"You idiots have no idea who you are messing with…" Yugo called out.
As the duo look back at their captured prey they did not see a human but a winged black astralian with frenzied look the evil veil of black and red aura seeping out from its body and before they knew it a frightening dark dome of energy enveloped them.
AT THE PARK NOT FAR FROM THE INCIDENT
Kaito was waiting patiently for his friend, he had been waiting for thirty minutes…
"Where the heck is he? He was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago." He muttered.
When all of a sudden there was a loud boom from the alley not far from the park and he saw smoke coming out from the place where the explosion happened, He ran to where the incident occurred, he dreaded if his friend was there and his heart nearly dropped when he saw medics carrying three people, he recognized the two as III and IV his former classmates and one was no doubt the person he was waiting…
"YUU!" He called out and made a break for his friend who was laid on the corner.
Yugo sat at the corner, he got lucky that he only got few scratches and a shredded coat and nothing serious, but the other two were unlucky enough to be sent to the hospital with erased memories of this night's event, they will never remember who and what they had encountered. Yugo sat there and allowed some medics to tend his gaping wound on his back, when the medic asked him to turn around someone in the crowd shriek at the sight and gasps from the medics.
"I know it ain't pretty in sight but can you help me with my backaches?" Yugo snarled.
"Kid! This ain't no ordinary wounds it ain't backaches too…we have to stitch this gapin' wound of yers kid." The medic said as he helps the kid up.
"YUU!" A familiar call from the crowd came and there a familiar blond came running.
"Kaito? Sorry I was unable to come." Yugo apologized.
The other boy shook his head and followed him all the way to the hospital…the stitching took time and Yugo had to stay in the hospital for the second time he was injured the scar was like a large 'X', Kaito stayed until the morning watching his friend who was asleep after the doctor who took care of them whenever he or Yuma got hospitalized gave the boy some anesthesia and pain reliever. He contacted Yugo's family earlier but he didn't expect a pack of unfamiliar faces, this people asked him some few question of what happened, he did answered them and in an hour they left not wanting to disturb their friend, just as soon as they left Yuma came running and cried for his brother.
"Yuma…I Ain't dead yet for you to cry on." Yugo groaned from his position.
Akari came in for a moment to check on her sibling and gave him an earful of lectures of not being careful enough, after the lectures the older sibling left as she was busy to her work and Yuma was out to buy some drinks and that's left Him and Kaito.
"So…what was that dream you want to talk about?" Yugo asked trying to sit up.
Kaito looked solemn for a moment and it crept Yugo out.
"Four days ago I got a dream…no more of a nightmare." He began.
"A nightmare?" Yugo parroted.
"Yeah, about this strange place and on that strange place I heard someone screaming and whenever I saw that someone I tried to get close, but whenever I get close everything becoming too far away for me to reach." Kaito said and moved on, on how he tried his best to help that person it seems too impossible for him to do so when he is starting to doubt himself helping out.
Yugo looked at his friend sadly, Kaito did not know that the dream he had was a part him as well and he knew the meaning of that dream. Kaito had no idea that in the near future the two of them would separate ways and one of them will deal the long winding road and one would deal with the short and horrible road. And he pulled the short and painful straw while Kaito pulled the safe long straw. One day the two of them will become enemies, he knew people will change in the future and that they would turn on against the person they held dear the most…Yugo or should he say The Cursed Astralian, Comet. Will feel the pain of being a Human and the curse that was intact on him. One day he will leave his family and his friends behind and journey all alone in the darkness. He will say his farewell soon, for that nightmare they shared will be the beginning of the end of their friendship…or is it?
Days had passed by There were many whispers of Yugo's Return to the University. Some kids who heard about him were excited to meet the guy and some old ones are happy to have him back. After three years of being away, some students began to terrorize others, one of them is Scorch and Chills, they were number one bullies. Some teachers were relieved that the only person that could handle bullies at such young age comes back. The students paused on their way as an unfamiliar motorcycle parked at the parking area. An unfamiliar person stepped down from the motorcycle and once the helmet is off there were gasps and whispers, there is only one person who had Spider Legs like spikes for a hair style. So as Yugo steps away from the parking lot he found himself being tackled by his little brother.
"You're Back!" Yuma smiled.
Soon Kotori, Tetsuo and Shark came to greet him…of course some teachers had.
"How's the school going while I'm away?" Yugo asked.
"Disaster…since the day you left Scorch and Chills' been terrorizing first years…we need your help." Mr. Kay answered.
Yugo dialed some numbers on his D-Pad and called out the back up…and soon enough Jake and the Whole Dragon Emperor Gang is in the House.
"Alright Boys had disciplining to do." Yugo said taking out his whip.
Jake and the others followed their leader to hunt down all the bullies in the school. it took them Two Hours rounding up the Maggots and an hour of teaching them some lessons they won't forget and then enter their classes…and it hadn't been too good as not only in the Academy where they were being chased by girls, but in this University is the worst as every time they participate in class their spine tingles as the ladies would stare at them hungrily and undressing them with their eyes and whenever the classes ends those who knew them would see them running away from the ladies and the only subject they weren't safe is PE as the Girls would play Tug-of-War and they're the rope…Yuma looked at his brother sympathetically as the girls would pull him left and right along with his friends and would often laugh when his brothers hide under the bushes, up in the tree and behind the doors. So when it's time to go home Yuma would often found himself being slung on the shoulders of his older brother as if he is a sack of potatoes.
THAT NIGHT
Yuma was having troubles sleeping. So one night it was raining and there was a storm, and Yuma was scared the shitless when the thunder roared in the sky, followed by lightning, then Black Out that was enough to send Yuma Running to the nearest room and it happened to be Yugo's and the guy was already on his Dream (Nightmare) Land. Yuma jumped at the bed that sent Yugo jump a good three feet in the air off the bed and land on the floor with a 'THUD!' And 'OOF!' Yugo sat up from the floor rubbing his eyes sleepily and notice a mound on his bed.
"Yuma?" He called out.
There was a frightened squeak when the thunder roared in the sky, Yugo forgot that his Dear Baby Brother was afraid of storm, he stood up from his place and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Yuma, get out from there." He called out.
When Yuma refused to get out of the sheet, Yugo pulled him out rather gently.
"Are you scared?" He asked.
Yuma nodded vigorously and hid his face on his older brother's shoulder, Yugo fondly rubbed his baby brother's back to sooth him from fear and get him to sleep. So he begins humming a song that could help Yuma sleep.
'Umaleru Kutoba, Kie Yuku Kotoba
Anata no naka ni ikitsu Zukeru kotoba
Tachidomari suuna toki yukei to kawaru
saa, aruki dasou mamo toki yori
Anata watsuyoku nai te iru kara
Mou, mayo wa naitei ano toshi kotoba o
shinjitei.'
He hummed until Yuma went limp on his hold. He planted a kiss on his little brother's forehead and put Yuma down on the bed beside him, he stayed awake and watched Yuma sleep. The storm had somehow calmed down, Yugo smiled painfully as stray tears rolls down from his eyes.
"I wish everything is as peaceful as this night, where the both of us can live in peace without fearing for each other's safety." Yugo whispered.
He looked up at the skyline window and saw that the stars twinkling in the sky and he saw a shooting star, Yugo thought of what would happen if he tells Yuma his little angel about him not his brother and not a real human at all and him being hiding as the identity of his long deceased brother…Yugo gave up thinking and went to sleep, but what was he going to do about the danger ahead with Yuma the Pure Angel of the Night Sky that Gives Hope and Shines at the very hearts of people close to him and He Yugo the Cursed Royal Astralian of the Grand Stream of Astral World. He had one thing in Mind, if the Curse will get to him soon he had to make the Counter-Curse to save either him or Yuma it will also help Yuma think for himself rather than ask other and he had two person in mind to pass on that Counter-Curse…Yuma and Kaito…He's going to teach them Early about it or carved the Counter-Curse on their Memories if he's unable to teach them.
If the curse will successfully get him he'll make sure that Yuma is not hurt, because Yuma had a Destiny and a Bright Future and only Yuma could be the one who could Defeat him in the Future once he turned against them. And could possibly save him from the Barian that had survived, He's not going to run from his fate, if this is his fate then so be it…he accept his doom and wait for his time. The Nightmare didn't haunt him that night and he's grateful, but not grateful to the backaches that he'll soon get from sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
THE NEXT DAY
Yuma bounced out of Yugo's room while the older holding his back all the way down to the dining room. Akari noticed this.
"You okay bro?" She asked.
"Backaches..." Yugo answered.
Akari told him to sit down on the floor so he did, he got nervous when Akari went behind him and put her knee on his mid-back and gripped on his shoulder.
"Akari what are you-." Yugo asked, but before he could finish his sentence the older sibling pulled him back and there was a crack of bone returning to their place. "GOD ALMIGHTY DON'T KILL ME!"
From the door Yuma stood in confusion when he found his brother crouching on the floor.
"Nii-san?"
"Ow! Me Wretched Back." Yugo groaned.
At school Kaito was starting to get Jealous at his cousin's closeness to his best friend and Yuma and the others could feel the tension even watching from the distance. Ryoga on the other hand had bad feelings when IV and V came into view fueling Kaito's anger. And it only made worst when V took Yugo's hand and kissed it like the way a gentleman to a lady, Yugo blushed at the action which caused Jake to glare at the taller boy and IV was grinning and ruffled the confused boy's hair…Yuma and the others watched nervously as Kaito stormed towards the place where Yugo was in and believe me…Yuma felt really bad.
"I felt bad for nii-san about this…" Yuma said. "And I'm Lucky that I'm not on his shoes."
"This is going to be three years of hell…yet again for Yugo-san." Ryoga added.
The gang noticed Kaito dragged Yugo away from the odd bunch to the library…
"Someone's going to be eaten alive in the library." Ryuga chimed uncharacteristically.
Yuma tilted his head on the side, not knowing what it means.
"Is nii-san that edible?" He asked curiously.
The others fall anime style at Yuma's naivety, Ryuga knelt in front of the boy and said it slowly.
"Yuma, if Kaito eats your brother he would be a cannibal and believe me it's bad." He said.
"But you said Kaito-san would eat nii-san alive." Yuma said.
"Yes but that's not what I meant of being eaten alive, there are other meaning of it." Ryuga explained. 'Such an innocent boy.'
"Then what is the other meaning?" Yuma asked.
Ryuga chuckled and ruffled Yuma's spiky head.
"I'll tell you when you get older." He said as he led the young ones back to the building.
During Chemistry lesson, Ryuga and the others could feel the tension on the other table. After a few minutes in class Professor Jay Banner came in saying that they'd be mixing chemicals today and to get in into two partners. Immediately, Kaito and V got up and asked the rather surprised Yugo to be their partner, which Yugo agreed to albeit a bit confused at the competing duo. Yugo eyed Keith, Yuki and Ryuga asking.
'What's their problem?'
Keith shrugged, Yuki gave him a good luck look and Ryuga smiled sympathetically that gave Yugo a feelings that this is going to be bad.
"Oh yes, and please make sure that the chemicals don't bubble over or explode," reminded Banner as he walked around. "After what happened last year, a couple of kids had to regrow their eyebrows."
"All right, let's do our best okay Yugo-kun?" asked V as Yugo nervously smiled in response, which ticked Kaito off.
Then without saying anything, Yugo took one look at the instruction sheet before taking two test tubes from the rack and mixed the chemical contents together. Not knowing what else to do Kaito handed Yugo another test tube to mix in as well, which lit a fire of challenge from V.
"Are you sure that you know what you're doing?" inquired V nervously as Yugo nodded and began mixing more chemicals in a different test tube, Kaito watched in surprise. "Now this is a side of Yugo that I haven't seen yet."
"So how are things going V, Kaito-kun? Is Yugo helping you out?" questioned Banner as he came around.
"Y-yeah, he's helping me out a ton!" replied V sweat dropping. "Actually, Yugo is going so fast that I can barely keep up with him!"
BOOM!
Everyone's eyes then locked onto IV whose hair was on fire. Scorch and Chills who were his partner screamed while running off and came back with a fire extinguisher. Then the teens sprayed IV with the extinguisher at full blast. When it was over IV was covered in white foam.
"Mr. IV, why not you go to the nurse's office? Class is almost over anyway," suggested Banner sweat dropping. "I can't go one yeah without at least one explosion can I?"
"Yes sir," agreed IV leaving the room. "Sorry about that guys."
"I-it's okay," reassured Scorch as Banner walked past him and Chills to the front of the classroom.
"All right since most of you did the experiment unsuccessfully you'll get half credit," explained Banner looking at all the fizzing or blackened test tubes. "Kaito, V and Yugo are the only ones who get full credit since they did the experiment successfully."
"All right! We did it Yugo!" cheered V uncharacteristically as he threw his arms around Yugo's neck and snuggled.
Just then there was a loud cracked and everyone turned to see Ryuga with a broken test tube in hand and an unreadable expression on his face. Then everyone turned their attention back to V and Kaito and started shouting how lucky they were to have Yugo as their partner…well at least Yugo was living up to his dreams to be either an Astrologist or a Scientist. After class there was a free period and Yugo spent it outside in the courtyard watching the clouds go by.
"Hey Yugo, is it hard to learn sign among the stars?" asked Kaito as Yugo nodded his head in response.
Smirking, Kaito laid his head on Yugo's lap causing the other boy to blush a bit. Within a minute or two Kaito fell asleep and Yugo stroked Kaito's surprisingly soft and fluffy hair in a loving way. Somewhere else in the school V was having an interesting conversation with III and IV.
"So you're saying that I'm falling for Tsukumo!" demanded V
"Yeah, according to the bubbly feelings you get when you're around him," said III. "But the trouble is that he's fallen for Kaito."
"Exactly, so I shouldn't go after him!?" exclaimed V. "These two have lost their marbles!"
"Hey, just because he's into Yugo, it doesn't mean that you can try to flirt him into coming to you right?" suggested IV.
"Whatever, I'm heading to the library," stated V leaving the room. "Better go before these two brainwash me or something."
When V arrived in the library he found Kaito looking at some books which were scattered all over the desk he was at. Surprisingly, they were books about How to read the stars.
"Tenjo, why are you looking at a book like that?" questioned V causing Kaito to jump. "Wow, he must be really into that book."
The blond glared at his former mentor and left the library, not wanting to see the guy's face or whatever. That time 10 minutes before Gym class, IV was about to turn to the corner when he overheard the older Tsukumo and Kaito talking about the plan on going on the Arclight lab.
"Why don't you go with the other officers to check on Faker's Lab tomorrow's weekend, while I check on the Arclight's?" The Older Tsukumo asked.
"No! I'm going with you, those officers can handle Faker themselves." Kaito insisted.
"But Kaito…" Yugo pleaded.
"No and that's final." Kaito snapped.
"Since when did you become overprotective of me?" Yugo questioned.
"Since that V came onto the picture and I won't give him a chance on laying his hands on you, since you're my best friend." Kaito snarled and tightening his grip on the Older Tsukumo's shoulder that stresses that's he's serious about his decision.
IV Smirked at what he heard, V is going to like this news. So he went on the opposite direction where V and III could be.
At the end of free period is GYM and everyone is going to practice swimming and teach the younger ones how to, so at the pool Yuma, Kotori, Tetsuo and Ryoga on the side of the pool waiting for their instructor.
"Did I make you kids wait?" Yugo called out.
Yuma's eyes turned as round as a coin when he saw his brother on swimming trunks and had his hair tied in a ponytail up. His Scar on the back was visible to anyone to see, but no one bothered to question how he got it.
"Let's get in the pool shall we?" He invited as he slid down to the waist length water, which happened to be chest level to the young ones.
Yuma and Kotori clung to the older ones' waist for dear life while Tetsuo and Ryoga tried to float themselves. It took 30 minutes to convince the two kids to let go, but with the help of Jake and Ryuga while the others are happily splashing against each other teach the kids to float that Tetsuo and Ryoga mastered quickly.
On the other ends of the pool Kaito watched his friend tends with the kids below his age to learn how to swim and on that time, Yugo stepped out of the water to get some towels for the young ones all of his spiked up hairs were limping and framing his face and Kaito found himself staring at the other teen…
"Kaito…are you alright man?" Gauche asked.
"Yeah." The said boy answered.
"You've been staring at the older Tsukumo." Droite added.
Ren chuckled.
"He's not the only one." He snickered as he points V.
Kaito caught the older Arclight Staring at his friend's back and the visible scar. Kaito found himself growling.
"Hey man! Yugo's looking at you." Kio called out.
Kaito turned his attention to the amused looking Tsukumo who raised an elegant brow and smirked and then mouthed 'Are you jealous of V?'.
Kaito found himself scowling but only received what it look like a chuckle from the teen on the opposite side of the pool.
Later at Sunset III, IV, and V came home.
"Well, how did it go, V." Tron asked as he came out to greet his son.
V handed Tron a full body Photo of Yugo and Yuma, Tron found the taller one looks familiar.
"What's the name of this Tall boy on the picture?" He asked.
"That's Yugo Tsukumo, Tron-sama." V answered. "The Boy who figured that we have the stolen items…"
"And the smaller?" Tron asked.
"His little brother, Yuma Tsukumo…" V answered.
"That Yugo Tsukumo is going to come and investigate our lab tomorrow along with Tenjo Kaito and the COPS!" IV blurted.
"Oh is that so, well then let us prepare for our guests' arrival for tomorrow then." Tron said as he pockets the Photo of Yugo and handed the other photo to III who stared at Yuma's photo with interest.
As the Siblings went on their separated ways to their room each one was assigned with each Task. IV is tasked to distract the COPS, While V is to distract Kaito away from the Tsukumo and III is going to lead the Older Tsukumo to their Father in the Lab to meet this Person.
III lay down on his bed and didn't let his eyes off of the Picture of one and only Yuma Tsukumo, the young boy was full of life and energy and full of light while the older one was emitting such power and experience and that scar on his back that had just healed was telling all the tale that the guy had experienced with pain and he's not going to be affected by any kind of infliction anytime soon and that unusual aura gives him the creeps, it's just that he found it familiar, he felt that Aura before but couldn't remember when and where.
However at Tron's chamber, the Father of III, IV and V is thinking of a plan for his first meeting with one of Kazuma's children, the man had been away and won't be back anytime soon. So he will have his chance meeting the man's middle child and see if this boy is the one on his shadowy dream.
"Tomorrow will be our chance of meeting…Yugo Tsukumo." He murmured, his Barian half was excited to meet the boy that will soon come on their premises. "Hahahahaha-hahahahaha!"
At The Police station Yugo turned around alert as if he had just heard Tron's Evil laugh somewhere, when Kaito put a hand on his shoulder he snapped back to reality.
"Hey, You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just thought I heard something." Yugo answered.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Kaito ask as he escorts his friend out.
"Always…" Yugo smirked.
"See you tomorrow then." Kaito said as he took off.
Yugo took off with his motorcycle as well and head home, on his way home he felt a pulse of Dark and Familiar Energy just as he passed Heartland Hotel his sight became clouded and dim…he was nearly thrown out balance and fall off from his Motorcycle but gained control immediately…he parked for a moment to gain his concentration and then took off, on the road Yugo wondered what had happened.
'What the Hell was that?' He thought as he continues to drive Home, not knowing the trouble that's he'll be in by tomorrow's raid…
