Chapter 3

Tyriel walked to a table realizing lunch had started and several students were getting lunch. Tyriel sat as he put his lunch, a sandwich with some soda, on the table. He slowly started to eat as he thought about his day. Hmm... I checked a good amount of teachers today, but still nothing, there must have been some teachers I missed, but who... thoughtTyriel. Tyriel's thinking was interrupted by a couple of voices.

"Hey there." said a voice. Tyriel looked up to see Jaden and a group of friends.

"Greetings Jaden Yuki." said Tyriel as he shook his hand.

"Hey there Tyriel, you saved me back there buddy. Let me introduce you to my friends." said Jaden.

"I am sure we can introduce ourselves Jaden. I am Bastion." said Bastion as he shook his hand.

"Hey, I am Syrus." said Syrus as he shook Tyriel hand.

"Hey, I am Chumlee, I like Grilled Cheese!" said Chumlee as he shook an awkward Tyriel. Finally he looked at the only girl in the group.

"Hey my name is Alexis" said Alexis. Tyriel stared at her for a moment.

She is so beautiful thought Tyriel. He had never seen someone so pretty, she made him forget completely about his quest in the first place as he stared into her eyes. However he caught himself, before making a fool of himself. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. She giggled.

"A gentleman, something this school lacks." said Alexis with a smile. Even her smile is beautiful. thought Tyriel.

The group sat down as they started to eat their lunches. However, Jaden couldn't keep his curiosity.

"So why did Mr.Kaiba send you here?" asked Jaden as he stuffed his face with food.

"It's kinda private, no one is suppose to know." said Tyriel.

"Oh c'mon you can tell us" said Jaden as he pleaded.

"Jaden, no." said Tyriel solid.

"Oh c'mon just tell us a bit?" asked Alexis this time. Tyriel turned to her. Something about her, it made him feel...weak.

"Fine. There was an accident at Kaiba Corp. concerning ancient magic, but that's all I can say." said Tyriel.

"Oh really, wow." said Alexis as she smiled. What a beautiful smile thought Tyriel as he stared at her dreamily.

"So what did you do to Crowler?" said Jaden. This woke Tyriel up from his staring.

"Nothing really. Just trying to find some information." said Tyriel.

"You cant be serious. All you did was twist a key in his forehead." said Jaden

"No just any key, its the Millennium Key. Its one of the seven Millennium item, quite powerful."

"Magical? That impossible, I bet its all in your head Tyriel." said Bastion in a matter-of-fact way.

"Actually no, Bastion. They were made in Egypt around 5000 years ago, but there are several duelist holding some of them. The location of the rest are unknown." said Tyriel.

"So is that why you are here? To find one?" asked Alexis. Tyriel tried to fight Don't look at her eyes, Don't look at her eyes Don't look at her...damm it! Thought Tyriel as he looked in her eyes. Tyriel however is no fool, so he quickly try to change the subject.

"As a matter of fact, I believe Yugi Mutou has a Millennium item himself, the Millennium Puzzle." said Tyriel.

"Really? My idol has one of these items? I have to get one then too." said Jaden.

"Not that easy, not easy at all." said Tyriel.

"You must be a good duelist, how else could you have one of those?" said Jaden. Tyriel stared at him.

"No. I earned this key." said Tyriel " Something I wish i never had to" mumbled Tyriel.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

The gang talked all day till the sun started to set then they stopped and decided to their homework, they were saying their goodbyes when Tyriel interrupted them.

"Wait, guys I have no where to sleep" said Tyriel.

"What do you mean?" said Jaden

"Well, they said I could stay anywhere, but there is still no place, and I don't know many people."

"You can stay with Me and Sy" said Jaden.

"No he can't Jay, there's no beds." said Syrus.

"You can stay in my room if you like" said Bastion

"That will be great. Thanks" said Tyriel.

"Ok, c'mon i gotta do that essay for Crowler." said Bastion as they said their good byes. Tyriel got a quick look at Alexis, then he noticed something. She turned to look at him, and for a couple of second they stared at each. Then Alexis smiled and they left.

As they entered the room, Tyriel noticed they were plenty of paper filled with formulas on the floor. He noticed it was pretty big though and with a second bed.
"Sorry about the room, let me pick things up." said Bastion as he started picking papers and putting them in a pile. Tyriel walked towards one of beds and sat.

"So what deck do you run?" asked Tyriel as Bastion was picking papers.

"I got 6 decks" said Bastion without looking back.

"6 decks? Why?"

"Always prepared for everything" said Bastion still not looking back.

"So? How can you insult yourself like that?" asked Tyriel in a serious tone. Bastion looked back.

"What do you mean?"

"A friend are a reflection of ourselves, a deck is a reflection of our honor" said Tyriel.

"I never heard of that philosophy."

"Which is why i run 1 deck. It symbolizes me , my honor, and my past."

"Hmm, i never thought about it before. Your past you say?"

"Yes, my past. "

"Care to share some of it?" asked Bastion. Tyriel looked a tad unsure.

"It a tad private, i never told anyone and i don't plan anytime soon." said Tyriel. Bastion decided it was time to change subjects.

"So i saw you staring at Alexis, what was that about?" said Bastion with a smile. Tyriel's face turned a shade of red.

"W-what are you talking about?" said Tyriel. They both knew it was obvious, but somehow that answer is always there, like a reflex.

"Don't worry, I think i was the only one who noticed, mostly because I notice things people don't." said Bastion. Tyriel sighed. He knew he was a Bastion's mercy. He never felt like this, depending on someone else, it reminded of the past, he quickly shove it off as he remember his present situation.

"Okay fine, don't tell anyone." said Tyriel. Bastion smiled.

"I won't if you tell me what happened at Kaiba Corp." said Bastion.

"Are you blackmailing me?" asked Tyriel angry.

"Well i am kinda curious... I will let you think about it, i have to go ask someone a couple questions about the homework. Later" said Bastion as he left.

Tyriel sighed. Well this is new, being blackmailed because of feelings for a girl, go figure. Tyriel thought as he sat down. He looked through his deck and pulled out a certain (Made up) card. It showed a magician wearing a black cloak with a golden necklace. his face was covered by a hood, and wings that seemed to be made of shadows. Both ankles seemed to be tied with chains however they were not tied to each other. Lastly, he was holding a golden staff with a sphere an a Egyptian eye encrypted in it. Shadow Magic Lord- Hadriel thought Tyriel. The card had been with him for as far as he had remember. His father had told him that he had picked it himself, but somehow Tyriel just couldn't remember that. He put the card on his left hand then with his right hand he picked the Millennium Key and put it facing the card. He had it touching the card and twist it like he did on Crowler's forehead. As he did the card started to glow and a figure appeared. The card had come to life. A hooded figure with dark wings appeared in front of Tyriel.

"Greetings Tyriel." said the figure.

"Hey Hadriel, how's the Shadow Realm holding?" asked Tyriel.

"Not good, ever since that accident at Kaiba Corp. several abnormalities have been happening."

"Abnormalities at the Shadow Realm? Like what? A happy day?"

"... Several shadow creature have obtained power that seems to be coming from nowhere."

"So why don't you stop them? You are the Lord of the Shadow Realm for a reason..." said Tyriel. All in all, he was right. Shadow Magic Lord- Hadriel was the Lord of the Shadow Realm and apparently he wasn't doing a very good job.

"You know damn well why i can't. The more time you take finding that damn scale, the more unbalanced the Shadow Realm will be until..."

"Yes, yes i know. I just can't seem to find, I checked a couple of teachers yet nothing."

"Well try harder, this abnormalities are small for now, most of the troops can keep 'em down, but soon those monsters will be too powerful, and chaos will run loose.."

"Eventually leading here." finished Tyriel.

"Indeed, however we will succeed and we will not let that happen."

"Yup, you never let me down, no reason to start now." said Tyriel with a smile. The figure stare at him for a moment. Tyriel could only assume he was smiling as well.

"I'll never let you down Tyriel, however I have to go back, i will try to get more a definite location for the scale. Until later, good bye." said Hadriel as he faded away and the card stop glowing.

What is it with Tyriel's past? What is this "scale" they kept referring and why is Tyriel talking to the Lord of the Shadow Realm?
