Yeah, this is my first fic. Its kinda cheesy in my opinion but thats alright for a first fic i suppose, so is the title

The fic is based on the song from the musical/movie "Rent" which is called "Without you" surprise surprise!

but it doesn't quite match the story... oh well.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Gi Oh GX or Rent. Yu Gi Oh belongs to the brilliant Kazuki Takahashi and Rent belongs to the late Jonathan Larson or his family or something.


Without You

Tenjoin Asuka stood by the pier, staring out at the sea. The year before, it was a meeting spot for her and Marufugi Ryo (more commonly known as Kaiser Ryo), who had graduated from Duel Academia. She suddenly thought of a certain Osiris Red boy with brown and orange hair.

"Judai…." She sighed heavily. He disappeared after dueling against Edo Phoenix, and losing. He couldn't duel after that and Judai became incredibly depressed. It was a huge shock for him.

"It's so different now, with you gone."

Without you -- the ground thaws
The rain falls, the grass grows
Without you -- the seeds root
The flowers bloom, the children play
The stars gleam, the poets dream
The eagles fly -- without you

The earth turns, the sun burns
But I'd die -- without you

Asuka wouldn't be able to see his smiling face, his overly confident attitude had disappeared just as he did. She felt as if something in her heart was missing. Sho was devasted when Judai ran away. Kenzan, Misawa, Fubuki and Manjyome couldn't believe it. Asuka, herself, wanted to cry. She restrained herself, but would kill just to have him back at Duel Academia.

Without you-- the breeze warms
The girls smiles, the cloud moves
Without you -- the tides change
The boys run -- the oceans crash
The crowds roar, the days soar
The babies cry -- without you
The moon glows -- the river flows
But I'd die -- without you

Second year here has been eventful so far. They had watched Kaiser lose to Edo Phoenix in the Pro Leagues, to much of their horror. Manjyome (now Manjyome White Thunder) suddenly wants to turn the whole school white as a blank piece of paper. Sho had been promoted to Ra Yellow after dueling a crazy Kaiser fan girl in the Obelisk dorm. Sho and Kenzan are always getting into fights about who is Judai's rightful "little brother." Temporary Principal Chronos and Temporary Vice Principal Napoleon are trying to destroy the Osiris Red dorm. Chronos probably only wanted the students at Duel Academia to be Obelisk Blues. And without Judai, the dorm has little chance of staying. Asuka became increasingly concerned for that matter. Judai needed to come back, ASAP. Otherwise, the school will be painted blue and yellow (A/N: CAL colors! lol) or white as Manjyome wants it to be. Maybe not even yellow anymore if Chronos and Napoleon succeed.

The world revives

Colors renew

But I know blue -- only blue -- lonely blue
Within me, blue -- without you

Without you -- the hand gropes
The ear hears, the pulse beats

Without you -- the eyes gaze

The legs walk, the lungs breathe

The mind churns, the heart yearns

The tears dry -- without you

Nothing was what most could say normal. Asuka and the rest had to keep on going with their lives at school. Judai would want them to, if he were okay. Asuka had to protect the Osiris dorm. For him. For the rest of the Osiris Red students.

"Judai, come back please. We all need you. Especially me." She whispered as a single tear fell down her cheek.

Life goes on, but I'm gone
Cause I'd die

Without you

Without you

Without you

Without you
