p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"When I came to, everything was all blurry. What was I doing again? Oh, yeah! I was with Yusei and we were... Yusei! I sat up like a bullet./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yusei?" I looked around, frazzled until I saw Yusei's face. He was sleeping soundly on the couch next to me./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Wait, a couch? I thought we were in a trash pile...?/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Look she's awake!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""No duh! She's going to hear you!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Hearing two voices, being in a strange place, there was only one conclusion.../p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""AAAAAAAAAAH! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED! YUSEEEEEEEI!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Hey, how can we be kidnappers if we're only children?" one of the voices said./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Huh? You're right!" Looking closer, the two people in the room were just kids! When I wasn't looking, Yusei woke up./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Who are you?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He asked them./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Ah, Yusei! I'm so glad you're okay!" I hugged him around the neck/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You don't remember? We found you and that lady collapsed at the bottom of the stairs last night. I'm Rua, and this is my lil' sis, Ruka. We're twins!" Yusei picked up his deck from the coffee table./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I guess you're Yusei?" Rua assumed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yeah."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""And my names Pinoko! It's a pleasure," I greeted them./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Where are we?" Yusei got up from the couch, putting on his jacket and gloves./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""My house!" Rua waved his hand and the curtains pulled back. "This area is called Tops and it's the highest place in Neo Domino City."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Tops, huh?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Haha, I guess you could say this place is the tops! Hahaha... It's a pun. No? Okay..." I went quiet./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yusei, you're a duelist?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yeah."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I play, too. C'mon, will you play with me? It gets old playing with your little sister all the time..."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Say, are you strong, Yusei?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Haha! You bet, Rua! Yusei's the strongest duelist I've ever met! He defeated a Pro Duelist without entering a monster battle even once!" I boasted./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""No way! That's impossible!" Rua looked at Yusei with awe./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""It's true. I witnessed it with my own two eyes!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Woooooooow!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Why are you so proud? It's not like you're the one who did it." Ruka commented from the side./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""That may be true, but Yusei would never brag about it himself. That's why I'm here!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""So you're only here to brag about how good Yusei is?" Ruka asked, confused./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I know... I'm a total good-for-nothing... I can't duel or drive... And I'm always getting robbed..." I whimpered./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Wait, I didn't mean to make you depressed!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""It's okay... I know I'm worthless... Please forgive this humble servant..."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You're a total pessimist, huh?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Sorry..."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The boys were still talking about dueling. It looked like Rua was showing off his Jack Atlas merchandise./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""So are you into the King, Yusei?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""No, I'm not."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Oh, is that so? Almost a shame that you're a D-Wheeler, then."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""What makes you say that?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""'Cause that's a D-Wheel, right? So if you're a D-Wheeler, you must aspire to become King!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Yusei walked up to his D-Wheel./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Sorry, Rua, I guess he isn't listening. Hey, did you know that Yusei built that D-Wheel himself?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Really! So cool!" I could practically see the stars in his eyes./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yusei, look! I could possibly duel the King!" Rua handed Yusei an envelope./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""The Duel of Fortune Cup?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Uh-huh! I hear Kaiba Corp is hold a tournament with people chosen at random! And Ruka was chosen to be one of them! The duelist who wins gets to duel with the King!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I don't feel like entering."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You hear that? Ruka's always like this. That's why I'm thinkin' of impersonating Ruka and entering!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""There's no way you can impersonate me."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Is so way! We look exactly the same!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Look the same? How?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""We're twins!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"They devolved into a little sibling rivalry. It must be nice to have a sibling. At least it's not boring like living alone./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You don't trust Yusei, Ruka?! He's a duelist who takes good care of his cards, right? I want to help him out!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Rua, you're shouting."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Yusei turned away from his D-Wheel./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I appreciate you guys keeping me holed up here, but you're best off not getting involved with us." He the envelope back to its spot./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You're leaving?" Rua asked disappointedly./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yusei, do we have to go?" I pouted along with Rua./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""We don't want to cause them trouble, right, Pinoko?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yeah, I guess," I sighed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You can't go! You're no trouble! Oh! Let's see here..." Rua ran to his closet and returned with a duel disk on his arm. "Yusei, duel me! A duelist always accepts a challenge!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Aren't you the one causing trouble, Rua?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""But I'm sure Yusei's tough! I wanna duel against tough players!" I smiled up at Yusei then looked at Rua./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You've got that right! You have no chance against Yusei!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Hey, I'm plenty tough!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Rua, don't lie."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Anyway, Yusei, duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me! Duel me!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Rua raised his arms and the duel disk slid down his arm. It's too big. That's adorable! Yusei got his duel disk from his D-Wheel./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Awwww, that's so cute! Your duel disk is a little to big!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I'm not cute! I'm cool!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Haha, that's sweet. You think your cool."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I am cool! Wait, Yusei!" Rua shrugged me off and followed Yusei outside. Ruka and I went along with them./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""No one else is here?" Yusei asked as he knelt down to fix up Rua's duel disk./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""We're the only ones on this floor."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""We're on the highest floor, you see. We've always been together, the two of us./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ruka and I sat down on a bench as Yusei and Rua got ready to duel./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Hey, Ruka, aren't you having fun?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Not really. I don't like dueling very much."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I see. I don't really like to duel either. But you know what I do love?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""...What?" Ruka asked when I didn't continue./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Puppies!" I pulled Rocky out of my shirt and held him out to Ruka./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Wow! A puppy!" She took him from my hands. "I've never seen one in real life before! But how long did you have him in there?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""A long time. It's okay though. Rocky sleeps a lot." Ruka looks like she's having fun now, not like before. She seemed bored, so it's good that she isn't anymore./p

p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"In the end, of course Yusei won. Rua took it kind of hard, but his sister was there for him and Yusei gave him some advice. He didn't seem so down afterwards./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yusei, will you duel me again?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Sometime later. Thanks for your help."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You can't go!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Look at these markers." He pointed at the marker on his cheek. "If you hang around us, we'd only cause you trouble."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Why? I wanna help you, Yusei, and even Pinoko!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Hey, what do you mean even me?" I deadpanned. They ignored me./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""There goes Rua's I-wanna-help-you-out-itis again..." Ruka sighed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""But, c'mon!"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Still, Yusei, can't we stay a little longer? Even Rocky doesn't want to leave yet, right Rocky?" I held Rocky in front of Yusei's face, and he whined. Yusei gave me a little smile and pushed Rocky down from between our faces./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Alright, but not too long."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Awesome!"/p
