Disclaimer- i do NOT own yugioh gx, but you already know that

I finished this chapter even though I had so much homework to do DAMN I'm good!!

Judai ran into his room and slammed the door behind him. He laid on his bed and sobbed with his head in a pillow. The tears ran down his face like a river as he pulled his knees to his face. He clenched his fist, "Damn it!" he punched the bed repeatedly.

There was a knock at the door.

Judai quickly rubbed his eyes to wipe off the tears. "Come in." He said.

The door slowly open, it was Asuka, Manjyome and Sho.

"Still laying in bed? You're pathetic!" Manjyome smirked.

Judai jumped out of his bed, "Everyone? What are you doing here?"

Sho smiled, "To see how you're doing!"

Asuke walked in looking around the room. "Judai-kun, where is all your stuff?"

"I'm moving!" He said quickly.

"Really Aniki?!" Sho exclaimed.

Judai nodded, "Um…yeah the movers took out all my stuff. I'll be moving out in a few days."

Asuka clapped her hand together thrilled for Judai. "That so awesome!"

Manjyome looked away, "It's about time you moved out of this dump you call a home."

"It's not his fault he wasn't born into a wealthy family…Manjyome!" Asuka hissed.

"At least I make my own money!" Manjyome hissed back.

Asuka stamped her foot, "That's because your family is so well know and rich!"

Manjyome gasped, "Take that back blondie!"

Asuka 'hmph' then turned her back on Manjyome. He did the same as well.

Judai rubbed the back of his head, "Well this is a heck of a welcoming committee."

Sho whispered to Judai, "They've been at it all day."

Judai laughed. "So Sho I saw that you won your duel the other night."

Sho smiled, "Yep, I killed that guy!"

Judai patted the smaller boy's head, "You're certainly turning into quite the duelist."

"Ya, I have really grown from the puny Duel Academia student!" Sho said with excitement.

Judai smiled at his friend. He remembers that Sho from five years ago. He was a strong duelist but he never showed it much. He was always kind and thoughtful and still is but he was shy and timid, but behind all of that he was strong and fearless.

Judai laughed and bullshitted with Sho while Asuka and Manjyome fought the whole time. Until Judai heard it again…

"Kuri, Kuri!"

Judai gasped and looked around his apartment.

Sho looked at Judai confused, "What's wrong Aniki?"

Judai laughed nervously, "Oh it's nothing! Hey Sho don't you have a duel to get ready for tonight?"

Sho jumped, "That's right! Are you coming Aniki?" He asked.

Judai shook his head, "Sorry Sho, I'm really busy but I'll be watching from the TV okay?"

"You don't have a TV!" Manjyome snapped.

Judai gritted his teeth together trying not to punch Manjyome and his smart mouth. "Then I'll go to the bar! Thanks for reminding me about not having a TV!" He hissed.

Manjyome made a disgusted noise and followed Sho out the door.

Asuka hugged Judai, "Call me sometime will you? I get worried about you."

Judai smiled, "If I called you everyday your fiancée might start getting suspicious."

Asuka laughed, "We don't want that." She put on her rain coat and waved goodbye to Judai as she shut the door.

Soon Judai ran and locked the door and shut all the curtains as fast as he could. He jumped on his bed and pulled out Winged Kuriboh from his back pocket he got from the card shop. Well…stole.

Judai was breathing unsteady, "Okay, I know you're there."

Silence…

"I heard you just know! You're there Kuriboh, I'm sure of it so come out!" He yelled at the card.

Still nothing.

Judai signed and started to laugh, "What am I doing? I'm yelling at a Duel Monster card." He closed his eyes as he laid back on his bed. The lightning struck from outside the apartment. He opened his eyes and there he was…Winged Kuriboh,

Judai jumped up, "You are here!"

The fur ball closed his eyes happily to see his old master again.

Judai blinked and stared at the creature, "Well you haven't changed much, of course."

"Kuri Kuri" Said Kuriboh in a happy voice.

Judai laughed, "Man this brings back memories doesn't it?"

Kuriboh nodded.

The brunette smiled sweetly at his old friend. He remembers telling Kuriboh his secrets and having conversations. It was the best time he ever had other than hanging out with Johan and Ruby.

"You saw me with Johan today didn't you?" Judai asked.

The fur ball slapped Judai's face and nodded angrily.

Judai held his cheek, "Apparently so." He sighed, "I don't know what happened I just started to freak out when Johan kissed me."

"Kuri Kuri!"

"I don't know I'm just afraid of being rejected. That's all that has happened since Duel Academia, rejection." Judai said in a sad voice.

"Kuri!" Wined Kuriboh said aggressively.

"Ya your right, I should go apologize to Johan." Judai got up from his bed but before he could take another step there was a knock at the door.

Judai signed and walked over to the door. "Look Manjyome if you came back to insult me I'm going to kick-" Judai stopped when he saw who was at the door. It was Johan holding a paper bag.

Judai stepped back, "Oh Johan what are you doing here? How did you find out where I lived?"

Johan walked in the empty apartment, "Does that matter, I'm here right?"

Judai shook his head, "Well, no I-"

Johan grinned, "Then there's no problem!" He looked around Judai's apartment, "Wow they really did take everything!"

Judai folded his arms, "You don't have to remind me!"

Johan laughed.

Judai looked at the bag Johan was carrying. He pointed at the bag, "What's in there?"

Johan smirked, "You really want to see?"

"Don't play that crap with me just give me the bag." Judai said reaching for it.

Johan pulled the bag away, "Nope it's a surprise! Close your eyes."

Judai chuckled, "Come on I'm not nine, just show me."

"Nope! Close your eyes!" Johan smiled.

Judai signed and covered his eyes, "Okay they're closed."

Johan grabbed Judai's shoulders and guided him to the bed and sat him down. He took the bag and dumped the material in it on the bed.

"Okay open your eyes."

Judai opened his eyes. He gasped, "Duel Monster cards?"

Johan nodded happily, "Yep, I'm gonna get you back in dueling shape!"

"Well this is sudden." Judai said.

Johan smiled and grabbed the E-Hero Avian and showed it to Judai, "We're gonna rebuild your deck down to the last spell card!"

Judai blinked then shook his head, "Woa, Johan I have no intension on dueling again."

Johan smiled, "You don't have to duel. I just want to get your deck back together."

Judai signed, "Fine, but I'm not dueling!"

"I told you, you didn't have to, but you'll want to eventually." Johan said and winked at Judai.

Judai blushed a little but started to turn red when Johan stared at him suspiciously. "What?" He asked.

Johan crawled over to Judai and was about an inch to his face. Judai moved back a little to create some sort of breathing room. His stomach was getting worked up, he didn't want a repeat from earlier today. Johan grabbed Judai's hand and swiped the Winged Kuriboh card from his hand.

"Hey give it back!" Judai yelled trying to reach for the card.

Johan held it high above Judai's head, "Yuki Judai, I don't remember buying this card." Johan smirked, "Hm, could it be that you stole it from the shop?"

Judai snatched the card back, "None of your business."

Johan giggled, "You've been hearing your spirits haven't you?"

He nodded, "I heard Winged Kuriboh calling for me when I was in the shop."

"See that must mean that you're ready to duel again! So let's get started on your deck!" Johan said with a big grin.

Judai laughed, "Right."

Johan picked up E-Hero Flame Wingman, "Remember this guy?" He asked.

Judai took the card from Johan, "I remember, he was basically the highlight of my deck other than Neos."

"By the way where is your Neos?" Johan asked.

Judai thought for a moment. He hadn't used Neos in a long time. He knew how his monsters always counted on him so when he quit dueling he didn't want to look at his Neo-spacians anymore.

Judai smiled, "Now I remember!" He jumped off his bed and walked to the closet at the corner of the small apartment room. He pulled a box out of the small closet and blew of the dust. "Man I haven't taken Neos out of this box in a while."

Johan also jumped off the bed and ran over to see. Johan looked at the Duel Monster, it still had no creases or tears. Judai always took good care of his monsters, after all they were family to him.

Judai closed the box and put it back in the closet.

Johan gave Judai a puzzled look, "Why'd you put Neos away?"

Judai sighed, "I can't stand looking at the cards I let down."

Johan put his hand on Judai's shoulder, "Now what makes you think you let them down?"

Judai laughed, "Let's name them off, I gave up dueling, I screwed up my life, I screwed up my chance with you-" He stopped his sentence realizing what he just said, "I mean…um…"

Johan sat there in silence.

Judai looked away, "I'm sorry for earlier." He whispered.

Johan really didn't say anything, he just sat there staring at Judai. Was he shocked?

Judai closed his eyes, "I just…" He eyes shot opened when he felt arms wrap around him.

"You don't have to explain." Johan said softly hugging Judai tightly.

Judai sighed, "That was a horrible thing I did today."

Johan laughed, "It's okay, I understand."

Judai nodded. His stomach started to growl, he needed food!

Johan laughed, "Same old Judai, always hungry! You wanna get something to eat?"

Judai shrugged, "I dunno, you paying?"

Johan sighed, "Fine!" He grabbed Judai's hand and pulled him up.

He smiled, "Can I eat all I want?"

"As long as you duel me afterwards." Johan said with a smile.

Judai nodded, "Okay!" This time he grabbed Johan's hand and dragged him out of the apartment. They ran outside where it started to get dark. Judai laughed still holding onto Johan's hand, not planning to let go.
