The next morning Yuya woke up to Yuto's spirit trying to shake him awake.

"Wake up Yuya. Please wake up." Yuto said looking a little flushed.

"Wha? What's wrong Yuto?" Yuya slowly Opened his eyes while he found a bit of drool hanging on the side of his mouth.

"I know everything your dreaming, thinking and... feeling (physically)" Yuto looked away.

Yuya looked at Yuto strangely. He honestly could not remember last night's dream.

"Did you see something weird?" Yuya yawned, stretching and sitting up

"I was so tired I was not paying attention to last night's dream but I cant just ignore...That!" Yuto pointed at Yuya's Crotch

Yuya Blushed and Awkwardly covered his morning wood

"This is a curse." Yuya thought to himself.

"We both have to live through it until we can be un-fused." Yuto closed his eyes.

"Who said you could butt into my thoughts!?" Yuya angrily spat.

"I can hear them either way." Yuto Reminded Yuya.

Yuya pointed at Yuto frustrated

"What!? You're telling me that you will hear my thoughts all the time!?"

"No." Yuto crossed his arms.

Yuya fell to the floor twitching his leg at what he just heard.

"Calm down Yuya. I know how to make a barrier between my mind and your's and honestly, you can too." Yuto told him.

"Then why didn't you!? Are you making doing this on purpose to make me upset!?" Yuya asked.

"Yeeeeah, of course, Yuya that's why I did it. to make you upset!" Yuto sighed rolling his eyes. You could tell he was being sarcastic.

It was true, Yuto did not seem like the person to pull jokes like that.

"Sorry, I jumped to conclusions," Yuya said.

"It's okay I know you're frustrated. I'm frustrated too. We just have to learn to work together that's why I butted in. Remember what Yuzu and everyone else told us. And if we don't we might go berserk again. So what do you do on an average everyday morning?" Yuto asked.

"Oh...uh I go to school...It starts at 9:30 " Yuya said with a yawn.

Yuto raised an eyebrow.

"Well, then you might want to look at the time." Yuto pointed to the clock.

"Oh, it's only- OH Shit! It's 9:00 I'm gonna be late for the first period!" Yuya said rushing out of his room after getting dressed real fast.

"Oh, Yuya I was worried that you were gonna be late!" Yuya's mom popped her head around the corner.

"Are you always this a mess in the morning?" Yuto said floating next to yuya as he began to pass his mom"

"Shut up Yuto!" Yuya barked

"Yuya Who's Yuto?" Yoko tilted her head to one side.

"Oh, no one mom! Bye gotta go love you mom!" he quickly replied walking out the door.

"Good going Yuto, now mom thinks I'm nuts."

Yuto just stayed quiet. His life was much different from Yuya's apparently, he was about to find out how different it truly was from living in the XYZ dimension. He almost forgot what it was like to have an actual family and go to school.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" Yuya yelled.

"Heh." Yuto laughed. It was the first laugh he had in a long time even if it wasn't much.

"Why you little!"

"Y-Yuya?" Yoko looked worried. Was Yuya hallucinating?

Yuya finally made it to the school huffing and puffing.

"I made it," Yuya said trying to catch his breath.

He walked into the classroom and sat down next to Yuzu.

"Hey Yuzu," Yuya said awkwardly.

Yuzu jumped and instantly turned red.

"Wh-whats wrong? Is there something on my face?" Yuya asked.

"No, It's just after all that happened yesterday I was not expecting you to go to school so soon. I thought you would take some time off to think about things." Yuzu lied.

Actually, in reality, Yuzu could not get her mind off yesterday's image in the crystal ball. Although she had seen much more than she wanted to, she could not help thinking that the situation was a not a good thing, however in a way it could help them both. It was a learning experience, a trial they had to overcome together and even though the trial was not the most bearable experience it may be beneficial in the end.

~~X~~

Yuzu recalled a memory of Yutos when looking into the crystal apple.

Yuto who struggled to survive against a dimension that brought nothing but fear, despair, and oppression to him and his loved ones took refuge here in the standard dimension. In a desperate effort to Fight back He began to enter a state of rebellion towards the fusion dimension. Soon he began to look for anything that would give him the slightest bit of hope, He was desperate to find his hope,

one day he saw Yuya doing one of his entertainment duels. He saw Yuya's face and it reminded him of himself. Yuya who was mustering up his confidence he had to bring the world smiles, Yuto began to wonder If he too could bring smiles to Heartland. And while he originally thought it was impossible for him to smile ever again, He began to look at himself angry because he could not smile like that anymore.

"It's Not fair!" Yuto whispered

It began to torment him, The image of that wonderful smile. He hated it. The unfairness, He could not stand it.

"It's not fair...its not fair...its not fair it's not Fair" Yuto yelled Slamming his fist against a mirror and shattering it leaving chunks of broken glass in his hand.

"I... Want to smile... No...thats not it. I crave his smile." Yuto said holding his hand in pain.

He had never had anything to hold on to because no matter what it would be taken away from him by the fusion dimension. He was not going to allow his last hope to be taken from him at any cost that's why, when Yuto saw Yuya was in danger because the fusion dimension mistook him for Yuya that one day on his way to school Yuto protected him. Even though Yuto did not intend to hurt anyone, all he wanted to do was make the hurt go away, even if that meant hurting others and so he snapped.

And Yuya who's father was missing at a young age went through life trying to make others laugh even if it meant putting down himself. Although his goal was to make others laugh, His self-esteem was not very good. and although he gained more confidence over time, the instant something goes wrong Yuya would retreat and hide his face behind his googles believing that the world would end. Even so, His dream was to live up to his father's expectations. He needed someone who could give him confidence, Confidence Yuzu could not provide.

This is a learning experience for both of them. Yuto, Who needs to learn self-control and needs hope to hold on to would benefit from Yuya who's goal is to make people smile. And Yuya who needs to learn confidence could benefit from yuto who thinks Yuya is his hope. together they could overcome this darkness that surrounds them both.

~~X~~

"Yuzu?" Yuya asked.

"Huh?. What?" Yuzu asked.

"You were spacing out for a second... Are you sure you're okay?" Yuya asked.

"Seems like Yuzu has something on her mind," Yuto said.

"Yeah I can see that Yuto," Yuya whispered.

"Yuto? Is he here right now?" Yuzu asked.

"Ah! yes. He is here. He can't really go too far. The furthest he can go is the door of the classroom. " Yuya said nervously.

"Oh. I see."

Yuto closed his eyes and crossed his arms and sat on top of Yuyas desk.

"Uh, Yuto..i can't see my papers when you're sitting on the desk like that. Remember even though no one else can see you, I can." Yuya said nervously.

Some of the students looked at each other and began to whisper.

"Is Yuya talking to himself?"

"That's kinda creepy."

"Haha. Isn't that hilarious?"

Yuya hung his head in shame.

"Aren't you going to fight back?" Yuto asked.

"..Nah. Not worth my time. Besides, I probably do look pretty silly." Yuya faked a smile.

"What?" Yuto asked.

"If I am going to look silly anyway then I might as well make it worth it," Yuya said.

"..."

Yuto sat there in shock as Yuya got up and waved his arms in the air.

"Ladies and gentleman! My name is Sakaki Yuya and I-" Yuya began to say.

Everyone including the teacher sighed and shook their head. Some of the students began to laugh at him.

Yuzu hit him across the head with a paper fan.

"Don't Start that again!" Yuzu said angrily.

"Hehe..sorry sorry," Yuya said scratching the back of his head and smiling even though you could tell the smile was forced.

Yuzu looked concerned.

"He's doing it again. He's putting himself down in order to make people smile." She muttered under her breath, but it was just loud enough so Yuto could hear it.

"What in the world was that? Why Did you?...Why do you hate yourself so much that you would allow yourself to be made fun of for the sake of everyone's smiles?" Yuto asked.

"Because I'm An entertainer! It's my job to make people smile" Yuya said.

"No...right now you're an idiot." Yuzu shook her head.

"Even though he smiles on the outside, On the inside he is fragile, insecure and broken... I need to fix that. But how am I supposed to make someone happy when I can't even fix my own happiness? His smile is My only hope, Please don't let this hope be false." Yuto looked down and put his hand on his face.

"Something wrong Yuto?" Yuya asked.

"No. Nothing." Yuto lied.

"I need to fill him with confidence, That's my first priority... Above anything else I need to know that He will be my key to saving my home dimension. And to be the one to fill it with smiles again.

Yuto looked at Yuya once again

"If he can't help us then no one can."
