I'm so Sorry for the wait. Writer's Block sucks. DX I am also sorry that this chapter is a bit off topic but I'm trying to stick to the original without including much of the dueling scenes. I'm not quite ready for those in my writing. But I do hope that you guys like the story so far. Let me know your thoughts so I know what to improve.

It had been a few hours since his talk with Yusei. Kalin was still trying to understand why the raven had come to see him. It confused him even more to find the boy still thought of him as a friend. He did such horrible things to him and yet, the other still wanted him in his life. None of it made any sense.

"Hey, Kalin!"

The bluenette turned blankly to see a young boy off to his left. The boy's name was West. He was tanned skinned with brown hair and brown eyes. He was currently smiling down at the older male. The man's expression didn't change.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

"I just thought we could hang out is all," West replied as he sat next to him on the cliff. "I wanna be just like you when I grow up."

"You don't," was Kalin's cold and stern reply.

"Sure do." The boy seemed determined in his decision. Receiving no reply this time, a feeling of awkwardness made itself known to the two. West chose to break the uneasy silence by asking a question. "So, Kalin. Who was that guy you were talking to earlier?"

The awkward feeling was quickly replaced by tension as the bluenette replied with a calm yet defensive tone, "He's no one."

Before the other had a chance to say anything, the older man continued, "West, I think it's time you went home. Your sister must be worried sick."

The boy hesitated. He wanted to talk to the other more. But he realized quickly that Kalin was in no mood to discuss anything, especially his personal affairs. So, with a sigh, West did as he was told as he began the track home.

The older watched him leave as he ran through their whole conversation in his head. This led his mind right back to the one person he was trying not to think about: Yusei. Letting out a sigh himself, Kalin got up from his spot and returned to the town.
