Disclaimer: The closest thing I have to owning Yu-Gi-Oh! is five Japanese DVD box sets, over 300 Duel Monsters cards, a Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi figurines and other bits of random merchandise. The moral of the story is: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Authors Note: While watching an old tape of music videos which I made in 1999, I heard 'The Kids Aren't Alright' by The Offspring. Since then, I've had this little idea in my head! Hooray! So yeah, each chapter is a different character's life 20 years since they graduated from Domino City High School. Some are more angsty then others. RnR please!!

Warning: There is Shounen Ai in this chapter! Do not continue if this offends you . . .

Summary: 20 years after they've graduated, each member of the 'Yugi-tachi' lead very different lives. They've all lost contact with each other. So, whatever happened to them? RnR!!

Whatever Happened To . . . ?

Chapter 3: Duke Devlin

". . . the new game craze that's sweeping the nation, Dungeon Dice Monsters! And today we have the creator and champion of the game, Duke Devlin! Welcome to the show, Duke!!" The chipper, bleach blonde television talk show host greeted as the ebony haired game creator strolled onto the sound stage.

"Hello, Sakura." Duke greeted, not nearly as brightly as the woman.

"Now, Duke . . . tell us about Dungeon Dice Monsters . . ."

Click.

Duke turned the TV off, not wanting to watch his own interview with Tokyo daytime TV's favourite talk show hostess, Sakura Nakagawa. He rolled his eyes as he moved from the chair to the balcony. He looked over the large city from his penthouse apartment, his hands tightening around the banister as he let his head drop between his shoulder blades.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Devlin?" A soft voice brought him from his train of thoughts. Duke spun around, which nearly caused his trademark dice earring to hit him in the eye.

"Not at all!" He answered, feigning brightness. "And we're way past that calling me 'Mr. Devlin' thing, Suguru . . ." Duke's assistant and on again and off again lover smiled,

"Oh, I'm very sorry . . ." Suguru replied, taking a few steps towards the dice obsessed man. "Is there anything I can get you?" he enquired, now mere centimetres from Duke. They could feel each other's warm breaths on their skin. "Anything at all?"

Duke simply smirked before placing his lips upon the other man's, drawing him into a kiss.

"That's all." Duke replied with a smirk. "Take the rest of the day off..."

"Thank you." Suguru replied. He leant forward, placing another kiss on Duke's lips, which ended up being a longer one. Once he parted his lips from Duke, he smirked. "See you tomorrow..."

"Yes..." Duke whispered before watching his assistant leave the apartment. A sigh escaped Duke's recently kissed lips as he returned to looking over Tokyo. He decided he could not stay in that apartment any longer today. He needed to get out and go for a long walk.

Boot-clad footsteps moved along the bustling street of downtown Tokyo. His hands were swaying slightly as he walked, grazing against the leather of his trousers. He continued to walk, strolling into his favourite shops. With a smile, he looked through the clothes in a shop. Duke looked up, emerald eyes connecting with a pair of chocolate ones. The man who was staring at Duke was tall, slim with hair the same colour as his eyes. The man's skin was quite tanned, but this did not cover up the dark circles under his eyes. The man was looking at Duke with confusion.

"Do I know you?" He asked Duke, moving a bit closer. There was something strangely familiar about this brunette, but, Duke wasn't sure.

"No. I don't think so at least." He answered slowly.

"Oh...I must be mistaking you for someone else..." The brunette man sighed before turning and walking away, leaving the shop. Duke sighed, shaking his head slightly as he continued on with his shopping.

He left the shop, only to be bombarded with half a dozen children with smiles on their faces.

"There he is! I told you he was here!" One little boy yelled.

"It really is him! Duke Devlin!" A girl with pigtails screeched.

Duke grinned,

"Yes . . . it's me . . ." He answered.

"Can we have your autograph? We just love Dungeon Dice Monsters!!" Another girl exclaimed.

"Oh of course! Anything for my fans!" Duke laughed before scribbling his name on pieces of paper.

Soon, all the children were happy with their autographs.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd better be going . . ." Duke paused, "I've got places to be, hearts to break and dice to roll!" He chuckled before pushing past the children.

---

Duke finally made his way back to his penthouse apartment. The sun was setting over the horizon and the lights of Tokyo were flickering on. Duke inserted his key into the door when he realised something.

"That man . . ." He murmured to himself, "It was . . . Tristan . . ."

Okay, another damn short chapter, but here it is. I think Seto will next . . . dunno though.

RnR!!!!
