You know, in my head, this entire time the theme "Swing! Pendulum of Souls!" Has been playing in my head, and 50% of the reason is because of what i'm writing right now, and the other 50% is simply because the theme showed up in my reccomended list on Youtube for some reason, and it's stuck in my head.

Chapter 3: Arc of Light.

Yuzu was shocked to say the least, Yuya's new form didn't have exactly a dramatic change, yet it had enough changes to be noticeably different.

"Damn you!" Yelled Ishijima, raising his club, "I don't know what's going on, but now your little friend is getting it!" He yelled, bringing down his club, Yuzu screamed.

Yuya's eyes flashed, "Timegazer! Stargazer!" He yelled, the two magicians immediately raised their hands, shooting beams of light at the Battleguard monster. The beams blasted the club out of his hand, Ishijima howled in pain, clutching his hand, which was now covered in burn marks. "This is it!" Yuya yelled, charging at the beast, Ishijima growled, a light formed in his undamaged hand as another club was formed. "You're all DEAD!" He yelled, raising the club into the air, it began glowing a bright yellow.

Yuya jumped into the air, the gems adorning his body began to glow, he felt flames forming in his mouth again. Spiral Flame Strike!" He yelled as he shot a large stream of spiraling flames at the duelist, Ishijima swung his club, "Battleguard Crusher!" He yelled, his glowing club colliding with the flames, blocking them. "You're still no match for me!" He yelled, though the flames continued to push him back.

"Wrong, the moment you fought against my attack, you lost." Yuya thought, the gems glowing even brighter. "This is my new power, Reaction Force!" He yelled, the flames suddenly increased in size and heat, doubling in strength. "W-What!? Impossible!" Yelled Ishijima as the flames blasted him a good distance away, crashing into the ground.

The dust cleared as light began to envelope Ishijima, as the light died down, in its place was no longer the Battleguard King, it was now just an unconcious criminal.

Yuya let out an exhausted sigh, "...Yuzu!" He said, looking around, he saw the pinkette running towards him. "Yuzu! Are you o-" He began to say before he was cut off by her slapping his head with a paper fan, it didn't hurt much considering he was currently in the form of a dragon, but somehow he still felt the sting. Suddenly he felt her wrap her arms around his head and embrace him.

"Yuya...! You're okay!" She said, tears running down her face. "I thought you... I thought you were...!" She tried to say, but her words failed when she tried to even say the word. Yuya nuzzled her cheek, "It's okay, i'm fine..." He said, trying to calm her down. She hugged him tightly, awkwardly considering the size difference, but tightly.

"Astral..." Said Yuma, observing the boy, "I'm gonna ask you again... have you ever seen anything like that?" He said calmly, "No, I can't say I have..." Said Astral, a mental image of him shaking his head appeared in Yuma's mind.

"Hey Yuzu... i'm feeling a little tired..." Said Yuya, his body swaying, the magicians next to him closed their eyes and vanished, turning into light and flowing into the core in Yuya's chest. "Mind if I... rest a little...?" He said, slowly collapsing to his side, reverting back to his normal form as a human, "Yuya!" Yelled Yuzu, quickly catching him before he hit the ground.

The boy fell promptly asleep in her lap as she caught him, Yuzu blushed a bit as he fell limply onto her, she looked at his tired body, there wasnt a wound to be found, only tears and dirt here and there on his clothing.

"Yuya..." She said, holding him, "Sorry, you had to do all the work, didn't you?" She said, her eyes drooping, she fought to stay awake, but the result ended with her eyes closing, leaving her unconcious, though she stayed upright, her head drooping down as she sighed.

Yuma flew down, landing next to them, despite the loud landing, neither of them stirred. Yuma gently placed them in his arms. "...This is gonna be a long day..." He said to himself as he flew back to the classroom.


Yuma's return was greeted with three boys and three girls running at him, all worried about the children he carried in his arms, he placed his hands on the ground allowing the brothers to grab their brothers, and the sisters to grab their sister, before he reverted back to his regular form, Astral seperating from his body. "I see you taught them how to change back?" Yuma said to Kotori, she nodded, "They were complaining about having no room, so I taught them now to revert back." She said, a worried look on her face, "How are the kids you found?" She asked, looking at the commotion behind him.

"...They're fine, but something happened and... well I have a lot of stuff to explain." He said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Hey, why's Yuzu all battered up!" Yelled Serena, a worried look on her face, "Hey, Yuya's hurt as well!" Said Yugo, "Actually no..." Said Yuto, examining the younger brother, "He's dirty, yes, but he's not hurt at all..." He said, a shocked look on his face.

Yuma jumped up on a table, "Everyone back to your dorms! Class is dismissed! Go straight to your dorms!" He yelled, directing students out the door, he walked over to the group of eight behind him, "Do you need any help getting them to their dormitories?" He asked, the black haired boy shook his head, "No sir, we all live in the same dorm," He said, a look of suprise appearing on Yuma's face, "We'll handle this, we have medicine back at the dorms right?" He said, adressing the girls, they all nodded.

They group began to carry their respective sibling's out the door, the black haired boy turned to look at Yuma. "Thank you sir." He said before they rushed out of the classroom with their bags and unconcious siblings.

Yuma slumped into a seat, Kotori sat down next to him.

"Well, that was a great way to start the year..." He said sarcastically.


Yuya groaned, slowly opening his eyes, he felt like he had been run over by a truck. He looked around him, recognizing his room in the dorms, "What... happened..." He asked himself.

He looked to his side, noticing Yuzu kneeling next to his bed, her head was resting on the bed, sound asleep, she had a bandage wrapped around her forehead, and even more bandages on her arms and legs, and likely more under her shirt, yet despite her obvious injuries, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He noticed on her hand a bracelet with a pink gem attatched to it, he didn't know why, but he felt a strong sense of Deja-Vu when he stared at it.

Yuya smiled, placing a hand on her head and caressing it, despite the injuries, it calmed him to know that she was alive, that he had managed to save her.

Yuzu began to stir, her eyes opening slowly, "hm... Yuya?" She muttered, raising her head to look at him, she didn't react at the sight of Yuya sitting up in bed.

Scratch that, she did react, just a little late.

"Y-Yuya!" She yelled, jumping up, "Y-You're awake!" She yelled, a look of suprise on her face, Yuya smiled at her, "Nice delayed reaction Yuzu!" He teased, Yuzu's face flushed, "S-Shut up!" She said, lightly smacking him, Yuya laughed, causing Yuzu to smack him more.

"Ha... man, how long was I out?" He said, suddenly Yuzu's face went deadly serious. "Three years." She said bluntly.

"Wait, what?" Yuya said, worry spreading through his face.

"...pfft..." Yuzu grunted, her cheeks puffing up as though she was trying to contain laughter as if she had just heard the best joke she had ever heard in her entire life, Yuya raised an eyebrow, "...Yuzu?" He said, scooching closer to her, Yuzu suddenly burst out laughing.

Yuya let out a sigh of relief, she was just joking with him, though she wasn't good at keeping a decent poker face very long apparently. "Okay Yuzu, very funny." He said, accepting the fact that she had fooled him for a bit. "How long have I actually been out?" He said as Yuzu calmed down, wiping away the tears that had formed while she had laughed.

"Ha... just three days..." She said, her face calm now, "Three days!?" He yelled, jumping out of bed, "What about classes!?" He yelled, Yuzu quickly grabbed him and pushed him back onto the bed. She sat next to him, "Relax Yuya, classes are cancelled for the week, it's generally what happens when the equivalent of a terrorist attack happens." She said, calming Yuya down a bit.

"Although, it might have been longer if it werent for you you know," She said, "Even though we got an email from the school a day later that scolded us for being 'reckless'" She said, upset clearly in her voice, "What else were we supposed to do... we couldn't get away..." She said quietly before continuing with her explanation. "We were also given thanks, because our actions not only stopped the attack, but also kept the area of damage in the general area where he landed." She stated, "Damages were only to the environment, except for our classroom which apparently our teacher blasted a hole in." She said, Yuya gave her a confused look, she returned it.

"On top of that, nobody was injured," She said, a smile on her face, "I mean, except for me." She said, chuckling lightly. Yuya gave her a small smile, though he couldn't help but feel responsible for that.

"Where's everyone else?" Yuya asked, "Downstairs last I checked," She said, "Do you wanna go see them?" She asked, Yuya nodded his head, she helped him up, Yuya noticed he was in white pajamas with green stripes, "Who changed me..." He asked, "Your brothers did while I was unconcious..." She said, a small blush appearing on her face at the question.

They opened the door to hear the sounds of yelling from the game-room, he heard his brothers chanting "YUGO! YUGO! YUGO!" As loud as they could, similarly, he heard Yuzu's sisters chanting "Rin! Rin! Rin! Rin!" Also from the gameroom. Yuya and Yuzu gave eachother looks of concern, before quietly stepping down the stairs, they peered into the gameroom as not to be noticed, what they saw caused Yuya to nearly double over, and Yuzu's face to start glowing a bright pink.

The boys and girls had formed a circle around Yugo and Rin, who were currently sitting across from eachother on the ground, their knees touching eachothers, and their faces shockingly close.

They peered in a little closer, Yuzu's face deepening in color, they realized exactly what they were doing.

They were playing the pocky game.

The. Freaking. Pocky. Game.

Life as usual in Deluxe Dorm No.5 (Yes that was it's official name)

Seinfield Theme plays from somewhere.

Yugo and Rin's faces both screamed "Why am I doing this!?" And "Oh god his/her face is way too close."

Rin's face was bright red, either from embarassment, rage, or a mixture of both, Yuya's money was on the mixture, Yugo meanwhile, was sweating up a storm, he gulped and took a little more of the Pocky stick into his mouth, his lips were a hair away from Rin's, Yuya heard Yuri yell at the boy, "Come on you CHICKEN" He yelled, Yugo lifted his hand up and flipped off the purple-haired boy, Yuto could hardly hold in his laughter.

"Come on Rin you can do it!" Said Serena, her face filled with excitement while Ruri had her hands up to her face, which was a dark shade of red. "Just kiss him already!" She yelled, the color of Ruri's face darkened even more as the words poured out of Serena's mouth, Rin's face went a brighter shade of red, as did Yuzu's, who along with Yuya, still hadn't been noticed, Yuya's jaw had dropped in shock, he could hardly believe his eyes, yet it was definitely happening, he wasn't dreaming, Yugo and Rin are literally about to kiss, whether they wanted to or not.

Yugo looked Rin in the eyes, clearly nervous, he gave a slight nod of his head, Rin's eyes widened and she gave a tiny shake of her head, panic on her face, Yugo gave a tiny nod once more, Rin shook her head again, Yugo nodded, Rin shook her head, nod, shake, nod, shake, nod nod, shake shake.

Suddenly, Yugo pushed his head forward, roughly connecting the two's lips, Rin's eyes widened into a look that screamed "Whyyyyyyyyyyyy" as a small tear formed in the corner of her eye, the screaming stopped immediately, everyone's eyes widened, Ruri nearly fainted, Yuto seemed to have temporarily stopped breathing, Yuri looked like his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets, and Serena looked like she skipped a heartbeat, meanwhile Yuya's jaw actually hit the ground, his eyes as wide as Yuri's, and Yuzu let out a tiny squeal that only Yuya could hear.

"F-Fifteen seconds!" Serena yelled, "We agreed that if you kissed you did it for at least f-fifteen seconds!" She said, starting the timer on her phone, though it was at least three seconds late.

One second passed, Yugo gulped.

Two seconds passed, Rin's eyes began to close.

Three seconds passed, Rin's eyes fully closed, seemingly accepting her fate.

Four seconds passed, Yugo did the same.

Five seconds passed, Yugo's arms unconciously wrapped around Rin's body.

Six seconds passed, Rin's arms did the same.

Seven seconds passed, they would never admit it for a long time, but they leaned in a little closer.

Eight seconds passed, Yuya could have sworn he saw the movement of tongue in their mouths.

Nine seconds passed, Yugo realized that the pocky made her mouth taste a lot like chocolate.

Ten seconds passed, Yuri realized that these seconds seemed suprisingly long.

Eleven seconds passed, Rin moaned, Ruri actually fainted.

Twelve seconds passed, Yugo's brain functions slowly started shutting down as he entered a "state of bliss"

Thirteen seconds passed, the author was running out of ideas

Fourteen seconds passed, Rin moaned again, Yuzu had to hold onto Yuya in order to keep herself from falling.

Fifteen seconds passed.

The timer went off on Serena's phone, snapping her out of her daze, "T-Times up!" She stuttered, looking shocked, both she and Yuri betted that one of them would chicken out, but they didn't.

Suprisingly enough, it was the complete and utter opposite.

They kept kissing.

Nobody said anything, they didn't dare to, it was complete silence.

Twenty-five seconds passed.

Finally, finally they seperated, a trail of saliva connecting their lips, their faces red and gasping for air. Rin's eyes suddenly shot open, she shoved Yugo away from her, her face a brighter red, "WHY'D YOU KEEP KISSING!?" She screamed, Yugo got up quickly and yelled back, "WHY'D I KEEP KISSING!? WHY'D YOU KEEP KISSING!?" He screamed, his face the same shade of red.

"I DID IT BECAUSE YOU KEPT KISSING!" She screamed, a glimmer forming in the corner of both her eyes, Yugo yelled back, "wha- I DID IT BECAUSE YOU KEPT KISSING!" He yelled.

"WELL MAYBE I KEPT KISSING BECAUSE I ENJOYED IT!" Rin screamed, tears now streaming down her face, Serena, Yuri, and Yuto gasped, Ruri continued to stay unconcious, "WELL WHY DID YOU ENJOY IT!?" He screamed, "YOU HATE MY GUTS DONT YOU!? ACT LIKE IT!" He screamed, suddenly his face changed, no longer angry, but more... scared... suprised.

"R-Rin?" He said, looking at the girl, her hands were up to her mouth, tears stram down her face, she ran off, covering her eyes. "R-Rin! Wait!" He said, yelling after her, she passed by Yuya and Yuzu without even noticing them, running up the stairs and into her room. Yugo reached an arm out at her, he took a step before his legs suddenly froze in place, he lowered his arm, looking dejected.

Yuya leaned in nervously, "Did... did I wake up at a bad time?" He asked, trying to lighten the mood, Yuto and Yuri's eyes widened when they saw him, "Yuya!" They both yelled, running up to him, Yugo stared at him in shock, "Yuya..." He muttered in disbelief, "How you... how you doing?" He said quietly, a smile on his face, though his eyes screamed otherwise.

"I'm doing fine Yugo, thanks." He said kindly, Yugo smiled, before he turned his head down and began to walk past him, he placed a hand on his shoulder, "Good to see you're up again..." He said, though his mind seemed elsewhere. "Yugo..." Yuya said as Yugo slowly walked up the stairs and into his own room, shutting the door behind him.

"Well..." Yuto said, a nervous smile on his face, "Not the best welcome back in the world, but hey!" He said, trying to change the subject, "Let's focus on the bright side eh? Yuzu told us about what happened you guys were attacked, mind giving us some more details? Maybe show off your new form?" He said, "But what about Yugo?" Yuya asked, looking nervously at the door into Yugo's room, Yuto gave a sad frown, "We'll have to talk to him about what just... happened," He said, "but for now, lets give him some space.." He said.

"I shouldnt' have brought up the pocky game in the first place..." Serena said sadly, "I found out that Rin had feelings for Yugo a little after Yuya and Yuzu well..." She said, hesitating, "Sort of almost died..." She said, getting the words out. "When I found out about those feelings, I tried to help push them together, I thought I could play matchmaker..." She said, looking down, "Now that I think about it, this was going too fast, I should have let their relationship grow naturally..." She said, leaning back against the couch. "I really screwed things over now, haven't I?" She said, regret etched onto her face.

"Wait, you brought it up?" Yuya asked, Serena smiled, though she still looked upset, "Yeah, sorry about causing all this drama when you just woke up," She said, apologizing, "Oh don't worry about it!" Yuya said, waving his hands, "It's just that I honestly expected Yuri to be the one to bring up the idea..." He said, looking at Yuri. Yuri grinned, "If I knew about the romance beginning to blossom, I probably would have just gotten out spin-the-bottle," He stated, "I happen to be especially good at spinning it at just the right strength to get it to stop where I want it to..." He said smugly. Yuzu made a mental note to never play spin-the-bottle when Yuri was around.

"Well, let's change the subject for now," Said Yuto, clapping his hands together, "there's nothing we can do about it right now, let's at least wait until tomorrow." He said, standing up. "I made a cake for when you woke up you know!" He said to his younger brother, "the plan was for us all to eat it together, but they'll get their slice tomorrow I guess!" He said, forcing out a cheerful smile to lighten the mood.

Yuya smiled as well, he was worried about Yugo, but he needed the space, so he would give it to him.

"So, Yuzu told us everything about what happened when you fought Strong Ishijima!" Yuri said, joining Yuri in changing the subject, "Mind giving us some of the details from your point of view?" He asked, leaning on his shoulder. "Of course!" Said Yuya, who began to talk about the day that was still fresh in his memory.


"Forgive me about the meeting being delayed so much," Stated Atem, who sat at the head of a large table, Yugi sitting at the other end, all of the other teachers in the academy were sitting at the sides, all of them were deadly serious. "But, we are here now, and there are some things we must discuss..." He stated, everyone tensed up.

"First, the lowering of the barrier." Stated Yugi, taking over. "The barrier was not supposed to be down at the time, so we did some investigating," He stated, "We have found evidence of..." He began to say before hesitating, Atem nodded and took over, "There is a high possibility of a traitor in our midst." He said, a number of gasps echoed through the room, everyone began to stare at others, Atem was quick to slam his hands on the table, bringing order back to the meeting.

"However, we shall not let this information break us," He stated, "We do not know who the traitor is, but we know that he is here, sititng among us." He stated gravely, "As we all know, we are all connected by a strong bond," He said, looking around him, "If there is a reason as to why you are doing this, if you are being blackmailed in any way, if you tell us, we can help you." He said, looking around him.

Nobody said anything.

Atem sighed, "If you truly cannot tell us, then we shall find you out anyways," He said to the room, "As well as whatever motive you may have, but if this is the case, then let us move on." He said calmly.

"Second, Strong Ishijima..." He said, some teachers leaned in as he said this, most of them were the ones who were easily irritated or battle-ready, "He is currently locked away in the holding cells underneath the island, we plan to interrogate him soon," He said, the teachers leaned back into their seats.

"And finally, one of our new transfer students, Yuya Sakaki." He said, Yuma stood up as he said this, Atem nodded at him, Yuma nodded back.

"Mr. Sakaki is in my class, and he is currently... interesting..." He said, Astral appearing next to him, "He and his brothers, who are also in our classroom, wished to unlock their first forms together," He stated, "We agreed, we didn't think much of it." He said, "But something... incredible happened." He said.

"They all transformed into incredible dragons!" Said Yuma, "And all of them a different type of monster! One was Fusion, one was Synchro, one was Xyz, and the other was Standard!" He said, a huge smile on his face, "For some reason though, they seemed familiar, both the dragons and the brothers..." He said, Astral smacked him, "Stay on topic Yuma..." He said, Yuma shook his head, "Oh! Right!" He said, returning to the topic.

"Anyways, when Strong Ishijima attacked, Yuya Sakaki and a girl named Yuzu Kurosaki happened to be right there." He said, "They couldn't escape, so they had to fight back, unfortunately Strong Ishijima was stronger and defeated them." He said grimly, "He was about to kill them when I got there, heck I thought he had already killed Yuya." He said.

"But then, something that not even Astral knew about happened..." He said, recalling the events that had happened. "Suddenly, he was fine again, he was covered in this... strange light, and he transformed again." He said, remembering the events clearly. "He summoned his Monster Card, but something was strange about it..." He said, "Standard Monster Cards glow orange, Xyz Monsters glow blue, Synchro glows green, and Fusion glows purple." He said.

"But this card didn't do that, it glowed Red and Green..." He said, "shifting between the colors, like red, then green, then red, and so on!" He said in detail. "And he used it and became the same dragon that he transformed into earlier, but, then the dragon changed..." He said.

"It wasn't like, unlocking another form, his dragon literally EVOLVED," He said, one of the teachers stood up suddenly, he was a blonde-haired man, his hair was up in spikes and he wore a long, flowing white jacket. "That's preposterous!" He said, Yusei stood up, "Jack, calm down." He said, Jack took his advice and sat back down. "Evolution of a specific card has never happened before!" Said Jack, "Yes, cards have evolved, but not the actual monster itself!" He said, "The monster changing, and a different type of monster? Preposterous..." He said.

"Sorry Jack, but that's what happened," Said Yuma, "He said the name of his monster was called Odd-Eyes Dragon..." He said, "But when he transformed this time, he clearly called himself 'Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon'" He said, emphasizing the pendulum part, "If you don't call out the right name, you don't transform, but that was his only transformation." He said.

Atem sighed, "Enough, what happened next?" He said, Yuma nodded. "Well, as you probably know, he defeated Strong Ishijima, saving the girl's life, and stopping the attack before any major damage could be caused." He said. "As far as I know, he passed out afterwards and is currently recovering." He said.

Yugi took over, "We will look into this matter as soon as possible, in the meantime," He said, "Everyone return to your rooms, we have a long week ahead of us." He said, everyone slowly stood up and left as he said this.

One of the teachers clenched their teeth as they left, "They know there's a traitor... I can't let them find me out..." They thought.


Yuya sat on the balcony, the day had turned to night quickly, and there was something nice about the moon that night.

"What are you doing up here?" Said Yuzu, coming up from behind him, "Oh, hey Yuzu," He responded, "I dunno, I just wanted to think..." He said, looking up at the stars. Yuzu laid next to him, "Well, it is pretty, isn't it?" She said, gazing up at the stars with him.

"...You think Yugo and Rin will be okay?" He asked.

"...I think so, Yugo's hardheaded, and Rin's a strong girl." She said confidently.

"...I didn't think that Rin would have feelings for Yugo..." He said, Yuzu laughed.

"I figured it out early on," She said, "If she thought Yugo was just some pervert, she'd ignore him every time he entered the same room she was in." She said.

"But she didn't do that with Yugo..." Said Yuya, Yuzu smiled.

"Exactly, yes she hated him at first, but she's gotten over it, she knows it was an accident." She said, 'But i've never seen her pay so much attention to one person before, haven't you noticed she almost always hung around Yugo a little after the whole 'incident'?" She asked, Yuya chuckled.

"Now that you mention it, you're right..." He said, Rin always did seem to hang around Yugo, he had even overheard them talking about D-Wheels at one point.

"Rin is... probably really upset right now..." Yuzu said, "But i'm sure that she will be okay..." She said to him, Yuya smiled, "Yeah... I hope so..." He said, staring at the sky.

"Hey, I just remembered!" Yuzu said, "Hm? What is it?" He asked, Yuzu then suddenly leaned on his shoulder, Yuya blushed. "Thank you for saving me..." She said, her eyes closed, Yuya smiled, "any time..." He said as she slowly drifted to sleep on his shoulder.


Serena was washing her dishes when Yuri came over to her to wash his as well, "Hey" Said Yuri, "Hey" Said Serena.

Serena bit her lip, "Was there something else I could have done?" She asked, "Should I have done anything at all?" She said, looking up at the ceiling, Yuri sighed, "don't stress about it," He said, grabbing her unfinished dishes. "I would have done the same thing, and besides, i'm sure it'll all work out." He said, placing both his and her's dishes in the dishwasher.

"But what if it doesn't?" She asked, "What if I just screwed her and Yugo's relationship before it even started?" She asked, she placed a hand against her head. "I said it before and i'll say it again, I pushed them too fast, something I shouldn't have done..." She said, Yuri groaned. "Yes, we get it already!" He said, annoyance in his voice, "We get it, you messed up and you think the world is ending because Fusion screwed up with a girl he liked, big deal!" He said, Serena's face flushed, "Hey! It would be nice if you said something nice you know!" She yelled.

"Well sorry missy!" He said, slamming the dishwasher shut, "You've come to the wrong person, besides..." He said, starting to leave the kitchen, "If i've learned anything about you girls in the time that we've spent together, it's that you're all strong enough to handle petty things like this." He said. "I'm going to bed, and if Fusion is still moping when I wake up, i'm tossing him off a cliff." He said before leaving.

Serena was speechless, she had come for comfort and instead had Yuri's cold hard opinion crash into her headfirst.

Not that it was suprising in any way.

Serena sighed, she knew he was right, but she couldn't help but feel bad, she should have just let their relationship take it's course, or at least waited until they were ready.

But there was nothing she could do about it now, she'd just have to hope everything would end up working out well in the end.


Ruri stirred from her slumber, "Huh? What happened..." She said, looking around, the day had turned to night in an instant.

She suddenly remembered what had caused her to faint.

"Ah! Rin!" She yelled, jumping up, she looked around her, neither Rin or Yugo were in sight. Yuto however, was sitting next to her.

He smiled, "awake now?" He asked, handing her a plate with a chocolate cake on it, "Sit down, you're in for a loooooooooot of drama..." He said, beginning to explain the events that had happened after she passed out.

Later...

"Oh no..." She said, "Have they come down at all yet?" She asked, Yuto shook his head, "We're giving them some space for now, in other news, Yuya is awake" He said bluntly. "Oh, that's nice..." She said calmly.

"Wait Yuya's awake!?" She practically yelled, "Yup, saw the whole thing as well, a pretty dramatic first thing to see" He said sarcastically. "Oh dangit!" She said, "I wanted to tease Yuzu in front of him when he got up!" She said, "She spent almost all of her time next to his bed making sure he was okay!" She said, placing a palm up to her forehead. "I'll have to do it tomorrow..." She said, Yuto sweatdropped, "That's what you're worried about?" He asked, Ruri smiled. "What can I say, I love teasing my little sister!" She said cheerily.

"Though... I hope Rin and Yugo sort eachother out..." She said, her smile being replaced by a look of worry, Yuto placed a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure she'll be fine, both her and Yugo..." Yuto said, Ruri smiled, "Yeah, you're probably right." She said to the boy.

"...Although it's good our brother doesn't live here with us, Yugo would be dead meat the second he made Rin cry." She said, Yuto smiled, "Yeah... Wait you have a brother!?" He yelled, shocked, Ruri gave him a confused look, "I thought we told you guys!" She said, Yuto facepalmed. "Now... is not the time for that..." He said, looking exhausted.

"I'm going to bed, there's been too much excitement for one day..." He said, walking away, Ruri called after him, "good night Yuto!" She said, giving him a little wave. Yuto blushed a little bit before waving back.


Rin had her face buried in her pillow, her tears had mostly dried up a long time ago, but there was still a big of moisture in the corners of her eyes as she shoved her face deeper into the tear-soaked pillow.

"Yugo you idiot..." She muttered before she slowly drifted to sleep.

Meanwhile Yugo laid in his bed, staring up at his ceiling regretting many life choices, mostly the ones he made today though.

"Yugo you idiot..." He muttered to himself as he slowly closed his eyes and began to sleep.

The feeling of breaking past a writers block is SO SATISFYING.

It was more of a tall fence though, rather than a block. I just at one point didn't know how to proceed with the story, but once I did, I had an absolute writing fever where all I was doing for a good amount of time was typing my fingers off my hands.

Anyways, it looks like Rin and Yugo's relationship has gone down a bumpy road, Yuya and Yuzu are getting closer, and the beginning of actual one-on-one interactions between Serena and Yugo/Yuto and Ruri are starting! Let the drama commence... (Muahahahahaha)

For those wondering about the order of age the Bracelet girls go in, here it is:

Ruri: Oldest

Serena: Second oldest

Rin: Second youngest

Yuzu: Youngest

Basically the same as the Yu-Boys.

They are all the same age as eachother though, just some were apparently born a little before the other.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'll see you next time!
