This is one of those chapters where I write 2k words, read it over, decide it's horrible, and delete everything to try again.
Thank god I have a oneshot's fanfic, now I can just vent a ton of fluffiness into a single chapter, agonize about the plot of a single chapter, toss in a lemon that makes about as much sense as I can make it, and be happy with my accomplishment.
And now I can agonize over how this chapter is going to work.
Kidding! I love this story, even if it stresses me out, the feeling of finishing a chapter and seeing what you guys think of it excites me! And nothing makes me happier than hearing that people actually like my stories!
Anyways, enjoy!
P.S. For those who want a little more specific description of how the "cards" look, imagine it like how you summon a Persona in Persona 4, a glowing Tarot card appears in your hand and you crush it. It's a little different here, for one thing they aren't Tarot Cards, but it's a good way to get a basic gist of what my inspiration for it was. The cards here in this story appear as glowing cards made of energy, they have the regular back and a simple image of the monster on the front (though you can hardly see the image through the BLINDING LIGHT COMING FROM IT), the card glows a different color depending on what type of monster it is.
Standard: Orange
Ritual: Dark-Blue
Fusion: Purple
Synchro: White
Xyz: Light-Blue
Pendulum: Red and Green (Alternating colors)
The user then crushes the card in their hand/any other motion, whatever feels comfortable to them (Yuri claps his hands together on the card, Yugo crushes it in his hand then raises the said hand in the sky, Yugo simply crushes the card in his hand, and Yuya takes the card in his hand, holds it in the air, and then crushes it).
As for Servant Spirits, they are well... servant spirits! Monsters you cannot transform into but can be summoned to your side to aid you in a fight, so far only Yuya, Yugi, Atem, and Judai have been shown to have Servant Spirits.
Without further ado, let us continue with the story!
Chapter 5: Arc-Evolution
The boys took the match about as well as you may have expected.
Yuri took the match the hardest, if it weren't for Serena, he might have gone on being pissed about it for much longer than he was, Yuya remembered that he went into his room after classes ended and promptly screamed loud enough that the entire house heard him, Serena had found a way to trick the lock system on Yuri's door and went inside.
There was a loud thud, then silence.
Ten minutes later, Serena left the room unscathed, a look of satisfaction on her face, Yuri followed after her, a large bump on his head and looking peeved, but hey, he wasn't yelling.
They asked her what she did later, she simply grinned and walked away, asking Yuri was just as useless, as he would just grumble and leave the room.
Yuto just went into his room to rest, looking upset, Ruri tried to talk to him, but Yuto had done something to keep the door from opening even with the trick Serena used to open Yuri's door, something she refused to tell anybody else out of fear that "it was too much power".
Yugo and Yuya took it surprisingly well, they were definitely upset, but Yuya simply smiled and said "I'm not going to solve anything by moping," He said, "So I'm smiling, and I'll do everything I can to get stronger." He said.
Yugo took after Yuya's advice and decided not to dwell on it, Rin gave him a sideways glance before saying "glad you're doing okay..." before walking off.
So their relationship was about as awkward as usual.
Shun arrived later that day, something that called for a very emotional reunion, almost immediately he was swarmed by the four girls who latched onto him, some with more tears in their eyes than others.
Yuri gave a sideways glance, before deciding not to care, Yuya and Yugo smiled, happy for the sisters.
Suddenly Shun glared at the three boys, Yuri raised an eyebrow, Yuya sweatdropped and Yugo hid behind him (such a great big brother eh?)
"...So it's you four..." He said, acknowledging the fact he knew Yuto was somewhere in the house, "Living alone with my sisters?" He asked, his facial features screamed: "your fate depends on how you answer."
"Y-Yeah...?" Yuya said nervously.
"Hm..." Said Shun, staring them down, Yuto walked down the stairs, freezing halfway as he saw Shun staring down his brothers. "...Hey" He said calmly, Shun glanced at him.
He pointed at Yuto, "I trust you" He said, Yugo mouthed behind Yuya something about how they had just met, Shun pointed at Yuya, "To be determined..." He said. Yuya sweatdropped even more.
Shun stared at Yuri, his stare turned into a glare, "Stay at least ten feet away from my sisters at all times." He said. Yuri chuckled "Oh?" He said, grinning, Shun glared at him harder.
"And you..." Said Shun, staring at Yugo, everyone was silent.
Rin lifted her head and looked at Yugo, she frowned. "He's a complete pervert who requires at least one male near him to keep him in control." She said bluntly, Shun glared at him.
"WHAT!?" Yugo yelled, "T-That's not-why you...!" He stuttered, glaring at the green-haired girl, she smiled smugly and stuck her tongue out at him. "...You are somebody my sister currently has a grudge against," He said, Rin's smug expression dropped as she realized that Shun wasn't so easily bullshitted. "Worth a shot..." Rin said pouting.
"But I WILL, however, believe the pervert part." He said. Yugo's eyes widened, "I AM NOT!" He yelled, Yuri laughed in the background. "Well, you guys can hang out for now then," Said Yuto, "I'm going outside." He said, walking away. "Hey," Said Shun, Yuto turned his head to look at him, "You okay?" He asked. Yuto gave him a small grin, "yeah, of course." He said, going outside.
"Well, there's food in the fridge..." Said Yuya, standing up, Yugo stood up with him to stay behind him, placing a wall between him and Kurosaki. "I'll leave you guys alone." He said, smiling kindly, walking after Yuto with Yugo in tow. Yuri sipped his drink, "Oh don't mind me, I'll just be sitting here." He said smugly, Serena lifted her head up to look at him, "Yuri. Leave. Now." She said sternly, "yes ma'am." He said quickly, following after Yuya.
Serena's sisters stared at her, Serena grinned.
Just what happened in Yuri's room?
Yuya stepped outside to see Yuto setting up large statue-like structures shaped like different monsters, he recognized them as the "training dummies" they had found in the storage room.
"Yuto?" Yuya said. Yuto didn't hear him, "I wonder what he's doing..." Yugo said, standing next to Yuya.
Yuto took a deep breath, before transforming into Dark Rebellion, he made no sounds as he stared at a statue shaped like a Kuriboh.
They heard his dragon form let out a large sigh before suddenly the purple orbs on its wings began to glow, and electricity began to sparkle around his wings. "Alright... you can do this..." He said out loud.
"Treason... Discharge!" He yelled, suddenly directing the purple lightning surrounding his wings toward the statue, the lightning struck the statue before fizzling out uselessly.
"Damn it...!" Yuto said angrily, stomping his large foot on the ground in frustration, "It's not supposed to do that...!" He said angrily. "What's he trying to do?" Yuri asked, suddenly appearing next to Yuya, "I dunno... it looks like he's training..." He said, "hm..." Yuri said, "Hey! Yuto!" He yelled loudly, Yuto turned his head to look at him, "Huh? Yuri?" He said, "Yuya? Yugo? How long have you guys been there?" He asked, "since your first attempt," Said Yuri, "mind telling us what you're trying to do?" He said.
Yuto sighed, "It's dumb... you guys will laugh..." He said, looking away, "Oh come on!" Yuya said, jumping down after him, "We won't laugh!" He said, smiling. Yuto groaned, "I'm trying to tie up the statue with lighting..." He said.
"What?" Yuri asked, "Kind of like your vines..." Yuto said, causing Yuri to laugh, "Tie up something with lightning?" He said, almost mockingly, "That makes no sense!" He said as Yuto's wings flared up slightly, sending a small bolt of lightning towards Yuri, shocking him. "Shut up, asshole." He said grumpily.
"Why that specifically?" Yuya asked. Yuto sighed, "It's weird... I was sleeping and then suddenly, I was dreaming..." He said, "Dark Rebellion was there, and he showed me the move..." He said. "So you're making a new technique... based on a dream?" Yugo asked. Yuto sighed, "It's more than just a dream... it's..." He said, struggling to find the words to describe what he was explaining.
"Well, whatever!" Yuya said cheerfully, "We'll all train, we all need to get stronger anyway." Yuya said, "We'll all become stronger, so strong that we'll be able to beat anybody who threatens us," He said, holding out his fist, "So strong, that even Kaiba will think twice before fighting us!" He said, his brothers grinned at him.
"Alright..." Yuto said, reverting back to his human form. "It's a deal then," He said, holding out his own fist and connecting it with Yuya's, "We'll all become stronger together." He said. a smile on his face.
Yugo nodded, Yuri sighed, "Alright then, why not?" Yuri said, connecting his fist with Yuya and Yuto's, "Yeah! Let's do it!" Yugo said enthusiastically, connecting his fist with the rest, "We'll kick some serious ass together!" He said, grinning.
"By the way, Yuya, have you decided on a name for the type of monster Odd-Eyes is?" Yuto asked. Yuya smiled confidently, "Yup, Pendulum!" He said, looking down at his pendant, "Odd-Eyes is called a Pendulum Dragon right? And well..." He said, staring at the blue-pendulum hanging from his neck, "It just seems right..." He said.
"Sounds great!" Said Yugo, "Let's all do our best!" He said.
Yuzu watched them from the window, a smile was on each of their faces. Just today, they'd been beaten into the ground by someone with overwhelming power, heck, they still had bandages wrapped around certain areas.
But here they were, smiling.
Yuzu couldn't help but smile as well.
She looked up at the sky with a strong resolve, remembering when Yuya had to protect her. "I'm going to work hard as well..." She said out loud, "just watch me..." She said, her eyes shining with a solid determination.
And time flew by, and they all grew along with it.
A Month Later...
"So, who do you think will win?" Yuto asked.
"Well... Yuya is a really fast runner as Odd-Eyes..." Yuri said as he thought, "But Fusion can fly... and at an admittedly fast speed as well..." He said, giving Yugo some credit.
"Who're you rooting for?" Yuto asked.
"Yuya obviously," Yuri said.
'Why's that?" Yuto asked.
"I like him more than Yugo." Yuri stated bluntly, "Who are you rooting for?" Yuri asked.
"I'd rather not say..." Yuto said, trying to avoid stating his favorites, "Hey, I told you who I was rooting for, it's only fair" he said.
"...Yuya..." Yuto said reluctantly, "Yuya's just the favorite child, isn't he?" Asked Ruri, coming up from behind them. "What are you guys doing anyway?" She asked. Yuto sighed. "We WERE playing Monopoly..." Yuto said, "but Yugo wanted to be the top hat, the piece that Yuya rightfully grabbed first," he said.
"So, what? You guys are fighting over who gets to be the top hat in Monopoly? She asked, "No, Yuri and I don't care." Yuto said, "But Yugo does, and apparently so does Yuya, so now..." He said, gesturing towards the sky, Ruri looked at the sky, "there's nothing there..." She said, "Wait for it..." Yuri said.
Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, as well as a stream of green light being shot into the sky, suddenly Yugo, transformed into Clear Wing, flew into the air (though he was little more than a speck from their distance). Following him was a spiraling stream of red flames, likely Yuya, they saw Yugo dodge the stream before going into a nosedive towards the source of the flames.
Ten full seconds of silence passed.
Suddenly, they heard rumbling from the forest of trees nearby, Yugo suddenly burst through the trees, roaring in pain, Yuya, transformed into Odd-Eyes, was comedically hanging onto his Yugo's tail with by biting on it and was being dragged behind him, and Yugo wasn't exactly enjoying having his tail chewed on.
Suddenly Yugo turned around, whipping his tail and causing Yuya to fly off of him, Yuya crashed into the ground nearby and immediately got up. "You bit my TAIL!" Yugo yelled, "You GRABBED mine!" Yelled Yuya, roaring at the other dragon, "Hey, I actually have good ARMS!" Yugo yelled, raising his arms as he said so, "I'm damn well going to use them!" He yelled.
"And I have the strongest jaw!" Yuya yelled, "IM damn well gonna use it too!" He yelled.
"JUST GIVE UP THE TOP HAT YUYA!"
"NEVER!"
They charged and crashed into each other, a cloud of dust rose, Ruri let out a shriek as the dust went towards them and took cover behind Yuto, Yuto and Yuri slowly sipped a glass of juice as the dust cloud blew past them, causing their hair to flow wildly, both of their faces were in what seemed like a permanent poker-face.
Despite the fact it was essentially a duel (they had to take care not to accidentally go past the boundaries that their dorms allow them), it had now quickly devolved into just a regular fight, both of them were on the ground and biting each other's tails, Yugo was trying to poke Yuya in the eyes, Yuya gave Yugo a strong kick.
"...What kind of sibling rivalry is this!?" Ruri exclaimed, "Relax, we usually tire ourselves out at this stage." Yuri said casually, as he said that, Yuya and Yugo suddenly let go of each other and laid limply on the ground.
"You know what?" Yugo said panting, "Why don't we... just play rock paper scissors?" He asked.
"You know what?" Yuya said, also panting hard, "Why didn't we do that first?" He asked.
"Very good question you know," Yuto said calmly.
"Ruri just stood and stared blankly at the two dragons reverting back to their human forms and beginning to play Rock Paper Scissors, something that Yuya won fairly quickly, to Yugo's loud disappointment.
Unbeknownst to them, Rin watched from inside, more accurately, she watched Yugo.
She quickly pinched herself and walked away.
Yeah, that whole fiasco was still going on, or at least, just slightly.
Rin continued to not talk to Yugo, if she wanted to talk to him, she'd have someone else relay the message.
No seriously, Rin actually found someone random to go over to Yugo, who was in the SAME ROOM, to tell him to stop being a child.
And no matter what anybody said to either of them, neither of them actually tried to fix things with the other, Yugo claimed he did nothing wrong, and Rin said that she wasn't going to be talking to "that asshole" anytime soon.
"Yuya? Did you finish your part of the project?" Yuzu asked as they came back inside, Yuya's face went pale, "Uhh, yeah... I did..." He said looking away from her, Yuzu raised an eyebrow, "What was the name of the first Duelist?" Yuzu asked to quiz the boy, Yuya froze in place.
"Uh..." Yuya said, racking his mind for the answer, Yuzu threw a book at him, already knowing that he had no clue, "I am NOT failing because I chose you as my partner! Come with me!" She yelled, dragging him away from his brothers, "You are going to be an EXPERT at the history of Dueling before this weekend ends, hear me?" She said as she dragged him into her room, slamming the door behind them.
"...I guess that means I can be the top hat now!" Yugo said cheerfully.
"Are... are you serious?" Said Kaiba as he and the other teachers sat around the table, "You're really starting it up again?" He asked.
Atem nodded, "I'm sure that it will help our students grow and become stronger..." He said with a cryptic smile. Yuma looked down at the paper that had been handed out, he looked visibly excited, actually shaking in his seat. "You know you can't actually join it, right?" Said a voice from beside him, "I know... but I can't help but be excited!" He said, "Aren't you excited to Shark?" He asked.
The blue-haired male sighed, "I mean, a little," He said, "But I can't join, so not really" he said bluntly. "Actually..." Yugi said, "That might change..." he said to them all, everyone in the room leaned in, interested. "You will find out the details on the date listed," he said as he stood up, causing everybody else to also stand up.
"So Yusei, I bet you'd be great for the opening ceremony..." Said a male voice, wearing a red jacket.
"You think so Judai?" Said Yusei, walking alongside him.
On the paper that everybody had a copy of, was a poster for a large event.
Arc-Evolution Tournament
"GUYS!" Yugo yelled, nearly falling down the stairs, Yuya lifted his head up from the desk he was sitting at, he had bags under his eyes and Yuzu had teacher-glasses on, meaning she had been drilling history into his head for likely a few hours. "Y-Yeah?" He said sleepily, "Hey! Focus!" Yuzu said, smacking him in the back of his head with a paper fan.
"CHECK THIS OUT!" He yelled, taking out his phone, which was set to the school's social media.
Yuri snatched the phone from his hands and looked at the post, his face contorted into a grin as Yuto came from behind him and looked at the screen.
"Guys, you actually all need to see this..." Yuto said, Yuzu sighed and helped Yuya up from his seat as they walked over to them, the other girls also crowded around them. Yuya's eyes snapped open as he saw the post, a wide smile formed on his face, "...YES" He said simply.
The school had posted about the tournament.
"It says it'll start as a team thing..." Yuri said, "It can be in a team of up to four members... but if you make it to the finals, the team will split up..." He said. "I say that's perfect..." Yuto said with a grin, "We can fight together, and then when we make it to the finals, we'll be able to fight each other for the win..." He said.
"So you boys are planning on participating?" Ruri asked them, "Oh definitely... what about you?" Yuri asked, "We'll think about it for now..." Serena said, Yuri grinned, "What? Scared you won't be able to beat us?" Yuri taunted, he suddenly felt a strong grip on his shoulder, Serena gave him a kind smile before proceeding to increase the strength of her grip, "What was that?" She asked, Yuri's eye twitched as he smiled, but shot mental daggers at her from his eyes, Serena did the same, giving him a similar smile, though her eyes gave the impression of "I want to stab you".
Suddenly Yuri's eyes lit up, he shrugged Serena's hand off of his shoulder and switched Yugo's phone to its internet browser, "Alright, who wants to see Fusion's internet history?" He asked, Yugo suddenly went red and began to try and push everybody away from Yuri, "AHAHAHA NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT, ALRIGHT YURI?" He yelled, unfortunately, he was pushed back by everyone as they leaned in to look, now increasingly curious thanks to Yugo's reaction.
A moment of silence passed.
"...Yugo... I'm not gonna say anything about your kinks... mostly because your search history is rather lacking in that department..." Yuri said, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "But why are you searching up the 'average length of a penis'?" He asked. Somebody let out a loud "pfffft...!" As Yuri said that.
Yugo's face flushed, "I-I just wanna make sure that when I get w-with a girl, I'll be able to please!" Yugo yelled. Rin gave him a cold glare, "perv" she said bluntly before walking away. "What? Are you scared that you're the runt of the family?" Yuri taunted, hardly able to contain a burst of maniacal laughter as he teased the poor boy, Yuto placed a hand up to his forehead, "You guys are gonna give me a migraine one of these days..." He groaned.
Yuya suddenly burst into a fit of giggles, giving Yuri an excuse to let himself laugh like a lunatic freely, "Yuya you traitor!" Yugo yelled, Yuya tried to apologize, but couldn't get the words out, Yuzu decided that it was for the best that Yuri lost possession of the phone, she snatched it from his hands (he didn't notice, too busy laughing like a lunatic), she tossed it at Yugo, he quickly shoved the phone in his pocket.
"I just... was worried okay!" He said, "about your penis size?" Yuto asked. Yuri laughed harder, "well... yeah!" Yugo said, "you would too if your dragon was a female!" He yelled.
"...what?" Yuto said with a look of confusion, Yuri suddenly stopped laughing, his face remained in a maniacal position, but he was silent and stared at Yugo.
"What?" Yugo said with a flushed face, "sorry, you know what gender your dragon is?" Yuya asked with a look of confusion, "Well... yeah!" He said, "You see when I first transformed I went into some sort of mental plane where I was with Clear Wing, and she was really cuddly..." Yugo said quickly, the girls looked confused, though the boys understood... mostly.
"Plus she's obviously a girl! You've seen her!" Yugo said as he pointed at himself, Yuto raised an eyebrow, "uh, not really..." he said.
"Well I was worried that Clear Wing being a girl might be saying something about... well..." Yugo said with a flushed face, "I just wanted to make sure, okay!?" He yelled.
Yuri suddenly burst back into his laughter, Yuto looked tired and Yuya was promptly dragged away from the conversation by Yuzu, "right, that's enough of that." She said.
Ruri gave a small, cold and damp washcloth to Yuto to put on his forehead, Yuto gladly accepted as he felt the cold temperature of the cloth calmed his increasingly stressed head. "I'm beginning to wonder if I even want Yugo and Yuri on the team..." he muttered.
Rin leaned against a wall in another room, she pinched her arm again, "Damn Yugo..." She muttered, a small tear forming in the corner of her eye, she decided that it was because she was pinching herself, it definitely wasn't her feelings.
Definitely.
"Sir, we've just received word from our inside man..." Said a man wearing a blue suit, he also wore a silver mask with red eyes, "The Arc-Evolution Tournament... it's starting..." He said.
A large figure sat on a large throne, was the throne necessary? Probably not, but it was still there. "Good, then the plan can finally move forward..." He said, "Any word from Roger?" He asked, "No sir, we heard that he became headmaster at Sector Academy... but we have lost all communication from him since." Said the silver-masked man, "Should we send somebody over?" He asked.
"...No, leave him be for now..." He said calmly, "You are now dismissed, leave me..." He said, "Yes sir!" Said the silver-masked man, quickly leaving the room.
"Are you sure we should be leaving Roger alone to his antiques?" Said the voice of a man who stood next to the one in the throne, even in the darkness, a large and toothy grin was visible on his face.
"Yes... everything will be fine..." He said, reassuring the man. "Roger is the least of our problems... we must focus on our main goal..." He said, "have our undercover students signed up yet?" He asked.
"Gehehe... yes sir, they have all signed up, we have exactly three teams in the tournament..."
"...Good..." Said the man in the throne, "now leave me, please..." He said. The other man bowed before leaving the room.
"...this is it..." Said the man in the throne to himself, "the fated day has finally come... I will not fail..." He said to himself.
"You want me to do what now?" Asked the voice of a blonde student, "Sawatari, I need you to do this..." Said the voice of a surprisingly tall gray-haired boy, "Just take this, and put it on his shirt, it'll become invisible shortly after being attached to something." He said, "Then, before the day ends, use this remote and press the button, it'll make it visible again, and it'll pop off, grab it, and bring it back to me." He said.
"...Any reason why we're doing this, Reiji?" Asked Sawatari.
Reiji looked around to make sure nobody was nearby, he turned to him, "You've seen the type of monsters this man uses, correct?" He asked, pointing to the picture, it was a picture of Yuya.
"Yeah, everyone knows by now..." Sawatari said, "apparently he calls them Pendulum Monsters, and I mean, I guess he has the right to name them..." He said, "Well, would you like to be able to use Pendulum Monsters as well?" Reiji asked. Sawatari's head shot up to look at him, "Well, of course! Are you saying this will let me unlock Pendulum Monsters?" Sawatari asked.
Reiji adjusted his glasses, "it's possible, trust me, this will be very worthwhile for you..." He said, looking him in the eye.
"Hm... okay fine! I'll do it!" Sawatari said, "I just need to get this thingie on him for a day right?" Sawatari asked, "AND get it back." Reiji said, tossing him the remote, Sawatari caught it and stuffed it in his pocket, "got it!" He said.
"Oh, and one more thing..." Reiji said, "Don't get caught." He said cryptically, Sawatari grinned, "of course!" He said, before leaving the room.
Yuya and his brothers went to sign up for the tournament first thing in the morning, their mindset was that this would help them grow stronger.
"Surprisingly empty..." Yugo said as they entered the room, the line to sign up was incredibly short, "I bet people are busy trying to find people to have on their team..." Yuto said. they reached the front of the line fairly quickly. "Hello! Are you here to sign up for the tournament?" Asked a peppy girl, he had short, blonde hair that went halfway down her neck, though it curled upwards at the ends, she wore a uniform similar to Yuzu's, except pink was replaced with green, her eyes shone a bright green, and she wore a hair accessory on her head that made it look like she had animal ears, although they looked a lot like leaves as well, her skin was a mostly white, but a light tan could be seen on her.
Next to her was the boy who sat in front of Yugo in class, "no they're here for the free hot dogs, of course, they're here for the tournament..." He said sleepily, the girl gave him a light smack in the head, "turn down the Witty Meter, Soul." She said bluntly.
"Yes, Ma'am..." Said the boy, his name apparently Soul, the girl next to him smiled nervously at the brothers, "forgive him, Soul is a little lethargic, but apparently never tired enough to NOT be witty..." She said, ruffling his hair, he swiped the hand away from his head, "cut it out, Syrup..." He said sleepily. The girl, whose name was apparently Syrup, grinned at him before taking out a clipboard, "please write down your team name and everyone who will be in it!" She said cheerily.
"Wait, team name?" Yugo said, "We need one of those?" He asked, Soul slowly raised his head to look at them, "yup... either that or we can make a name out of the first letters of your names..." He said, "but if I recall... all four of you have names that start with Y... and I don't think anybody wants to be called YYYY..." He said sleepily. "He's right you know," Yuri said, "I'm not having my name etched in history as 'Yuri of Team YYYY'" He said.
"How about the Yu-Crew?" Yugo asked.
"No."
"Absolutely not."
"I'd rather die."
"Aw..." Yugo said with a look of rejection.
"How about The Resistance?" Yuto asked.
"Too edgy, how about Lethal Dosage?" Yuri asked.
"Sounds evil, how about Yuya Sakaki's Entertainment Crew of Fun and Smiles?" Asked Yuya.
"What? No way! It's way too long!" Yuto said, "And how come your name is in it! What are we, your assistants?" Yuto asked, "Well would you like it to be called Yuto Sakaki's Entertainment Crew of Fun and Smiles? Or Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri Sakaki's Entertainment Crew of Fun and Smi-" He began to say, Yugo cut him off. "How about we ditch the idea entirely? Agreed? Agreed." He said, ending the conversation before Yuya could respond.
The group bickered over a name, luckily not holding up the line since nobody stood behind them, Syrup sweatdropped nervously while Soul simply took out his laptop and began to type, ignoring the entire ordeal.
"Team Smiles!"
"No way, way too cringy."
"Team 5Ds!"
"YOU STOLE THAT"
"NO, I DIDN'T"
"YES YOU DID STOP STEALING THINGS THAT ARE COPYRIGHTED"
"IT ISN'T COPYRIGHTED"
"How about Team Suck-My-%#$ &$#!%%$#%^ "
"Jesus, Yuri!"
"CHILDREN will be watching, CHILDREN!"
"Team Part-Masochist?"
"We aren't masochists!"
"...actually, Yuri might be..."
"No, no he isn't, I have hit him on multiple occasions and he has not shown any form of pleasure from it, instead he has shown annoyance and pain, which is the goal."
"Damn, there goes five bucks..."
"You bet on me being a Masochist?"
"You bet on me driving off a cliff and into the ocean when I first used a D-Wheel!"
"Yes, except that was a fair assumption that we all worried would happen."
"What! But Yuya didn't bet!"
"Yeah, because I'm not about to bet on my brother's death, but I was still worried SOMETHING would happen..."
"I happen to be the best at driving a D-Wheel out of all four of us!"
"You also happen to be failing math class, Fusion"
"MY NAME IS NOT FUSION, IT'S YUGO, Y-U-G-O, YUGO!"
"Alright, what are you boys arguing about now?" Asked a voice from behind them, they all turned to see Yuzu and her sisters behind them, "We're competing too you know." She said, grinning. "Really?" Yuya asked, "That's great!" He said, "I wish you guys luck!" He said kindly, "You too!" Yuzu said, smiling.
"You know you guys are gonna be on different teams, right?" Said Yuri and Serena at the same time, Yuya and Yuzu blushed and quickly looked away from each other, Yuri and Serena grinned.
"Hey..." Said Soul, looking up from his computer, "I happen to be surprisingly creative... want me to give you guys a name?" He asked, Yuto shrugged, "We could use somebody else's advice I guess..." He said sheepishly.
"Hmm... all four of you use a powerful dragon, so..." He said, thinking for a few seconds.
"...You guys want a cool name, a cute name, or a simple name?" He asked, "...I dunno, cool name?" Yugo said.
"Alright... how about this?" He said, taking out his sketchbook and two pencils, resting his sketchbook against his lap, suddenly his eyes (eye, nobody could see his other eye) and his hands, a pencil in each, began to move at an unrealistic speed as he drew something on the paper.
He finally stopped and turned the sketchbook to face the brothers, on it was an incredibly dramatic set of words, artistically made to look cool, it read "The Four Heavenly Dragons" on it in large, rugged bubble letters, and was even made so that the letters form a shape of a winged dragon roaring into the sky.
"Whoa!" Yugo said, snatching the book out of his hands (to Soul's displeasure), they stared in awe at the incredible piece of art that had taken about 5 seconds to be created, Yuto raised his eyebrows, "I like it, what about you guys?" He asked, his brothers nodded, Yuya smiled and turned to Syrup, "I guess that'll be our name!" He said, Syrup smiled and wrote it down, meanwhile Soul typed something into his computer, Yugo noticed that it was a digital version of the list, he was also typing their information in.
"Alright, then if you boys are done signing up, it's our turn," Serena said, pushing them away from the line. "Our names are Yuzu, Ruri, Serena, and Rin Kurosaki. We'll be Team Goddess." She said, apparently they'd actually come with a viable team name.
"Alright... it's all in!" Syrup said as she wrote it down, "You do realize it needs to be digital right?" Soul asked as he typed in the information as well, "Yeah, well you never know when a physical version will come in handy!" She said defending herself, "also I can't use a computer for the life of me." She said sheepishly.
"You guys are like complete opposites..." Muttered Yuya as they talked, suddenly Syrup grabbed the boy next to her and began to carry him under her arm, Soul didn't even bother to resist, "well, we should probably get to class now!" She said, easily carrying the limp body under her and walking away, unlike Soul who was the very definition of edge, Syrup was similarly the very definition of bright and peppy.
As they walked past them, Soul reached out and snatched back his sketchbook from Yugo, before going limp again as though he wished to spend as little energy as possible.
"They look like good friends..." Yuto said as they walked off, "I guess opposites DO attract..." said Yuya.
"Well, Yuya and I have D-Wheel class up now, so I guess we'll see you guys at lunch!" Yugo said, "You know you should do good in more than just a class about D-Wheels you know!" Yuri said, earning himself a good look at Yugo's middle finger.
Yuya quickly ran after him, waving goodbye to his other two brothers, as he ran to Yugo, he passed by a blonde-haired boy in the hallway, suddenly the blonde gave him a hard slap on the back, causing Yuya to stagger in place, he turned around to face the boy. "H-Hey!" He said, the boy simply grinned at him, "have a nice day!" He said before quickly walking off.
"Hm..." Yuya said, scratching the back of his head, "I guess he was just being friendly..." He said before dismissing it and walking off.
The blonde boy was Sawatari, he quickly turned the corner and took out his phone, quickly texting Reiji that it was done.
Unbeknownst to him, Yuto and Yuri happened to have been watching and were staring at him with looks of intense suspicion. Sawatari felt a chill run down his back, though he didn't know why.
Right, this chapter is finally done, and I'm going to take this time after this chapter to crawl into my bed and enter hibernation because I suddenly need a break from thinking about the plot.
IN THE MEANTIME THOUGH.
I have finally made an Archive of Our Own account (finally because it took three days to get an invitation).
Meaning now I am not only here on, but also on Ao3! So you can now pop on over there if you want! My name is the same as here, OddEyes588, however the Lemon Oneshots Fanfic is staying here, so only expect this to pop up on Ao3.
See you later!
