...

So at first, I had a whole different Epilogue set up, but then my laptop broke down and I lost all my progress. But I can say, this is WAY better than what I first planned out.

Okay, one question:

Should I write part two as a sequel?

I much rather write part two as a sequel, because it's going to be Kira and the gang's adventures at Duel Academy. And that'll take a lot of chapters, including their second and third year, and I plan on keeping those together.

So I much rather write it as a sequel.

This is the Life

Lost Soul: Epilogue

"Jetzu! I got it, I got it!" Ten-year-old Joanna Jacey Rhodes cheered. She ran back over to her group of friends, which consisted of ten others at the moment, her being the youngest in the group. Joanna had brown hair with natural red highlights, her eyes were a bright blue. She had fair skin, and the only thing her mother, Britney Bianca Rhodes, single mom, told her about Joanna's father was that she got her dark red highlights from him. Joanna's energetic, carefree attitude though, came from her grandfather. Joanna wore white shorts, a blue blouse, and running shoes. She carried a black ball at her side, handing it over to the older boy. They were in the Yuki's front yard, playing ball.

"Thanks Jo," Jetzu Anderson offered the girl a small smile as he took the ball back into his own hold. Jetzu was eleven, only older than Joanna by eight months. The youngest Anderson looked much like his own father, Jesse Anderson. Though instead, Jetzu had deep, dark orange eyes, that seemed could see straight through your very soul, not his dad's teal blue ones. In this which separated him from the rest of his siblings. Also unlike the rest of his siblings, he had dark blue hair, much like Zane Truesdale. Which of whom he was not related to in any way. He was also rather reserved with others, but open with those he felt closer to. But no, he wasn't the sore thumb in his family, his mother took that cake.

Before the group of children could revert back to their previous game though, a woman exited the house through the front door, entering the game-zone. "Hey kids!" She greeted, smiling. This was Jade Yuki, and though her real age was that of forty-eight, she still looked to be in her late twenties. She had straight brown hair and eyes that matched, but none of the kids were focused on that, they rather gaze at the plate in her hand. On this plate, "Cookies?" She giggled as she was practically tackled by each of the eleven children.

"Thanks Aunt Jade!" The eldest child, Jason Yuki said in usion with his younger twin brother, Alexander Yuki. The two were fourteen-years-old, and the only other kids that were fourteen were Jessica and Marina. Jessica and Marina were only several weeks younger than the Yuki twins. And as of five months, Jason and Jessica have been dating. Jessica was not weirded out at all that her boyfriend's Aunt used to date her Dad either. Alex and Marina were in an on/off relationship, but were always best friends, no matter how weird it got. It didn't matter to them that Marina's Mom used to be Alex's Dad's girlfriend. Their on/off relationship was currently on.

Jason and Alex were identical. They were quite literally younger versions of their father, without the two-toned style. Their hair was the color of the darker brown portion of their father's hair, with the bottom spiked as well as the bangs framing their faces, both eyes the color of sweet milk chocolate. The two were carbon copies of their father's personality, attitude, and in physical appearance. Except they at least had their mother's smarts. Well, somewhat anyway.

Marina Kayla Truesdale had long, curly red-orange hair that reached mid-waist, going longer if straightened out. She had greyish brown eyes, a combination of both her Mom and Dad. Marina was the three 'S's sneaky, [somewhat] shy, and stubborn, just like Mom, a little bit of Daddy. Though she did get rid of most of her 'Syrus Traits' after Cassidy and Katherine reunited and got their family back together. Rosalinda also made sure her daughter knew how to defend herself.

Jessica Rayne Anderson had long, curly blue hair which was in a pony-tail that almost went all the way down her back. Loose strands of hair framed her face perfectly. She also had her Daddy's beautiful emerald green eyes, but that's not all, she had her Daddy wrapped around her finger. She was a Daddy's girl, if you will. She didn't get everything she wanted like a spoiled brat, but she was usually always good, so her father never saw a problem. Keep in mind, usually being the key word.

"Where's Daddy?" The eleven-year-old Kira piped up, taking a chocolate chip cookie from the platter. Kira Jaeliyne Yuki and her younger, fraternal twin brother by two minutes, Cristopher Kyle Yuki, were the youngest Yuki's from Jaden and Alexis, but not the youngest in general. The current youngest Yuki was Katherine's son, Gabriel. Kira and Cris were born early, but that's a story for another chapter, so they were about a month younger than Jetzu.

"Yeah," Nathan contributed to the interrogation, "Uncle Jay was supposed to be teaching us some more shadow magic today." Nathaniel Marcus Rhodes was the youngest of Attticus and Venessa Rhodes. Joanna Rhodes being his niece. But Joanna never called Nathan her 'Uncle', it would be weird for the both of them, especially since Joanna was technically only four months younger than her own uncle.

Kira kind of stuck out in the group of pre-teens, since she was the only one with heterochromatic eyes. Her left eye being a teal color, and her right eye being the same dark orange as Jetzu's eyes. Kira's hair was a light brown, sometimes mistaken for a dirty blonde color. Her hair was slightly wavy, and in layers. Though her eyes sometimes earned her the nickname of 'freak', her Mom prided her in being the most beautiful daughter ever. Her Dad being no exception. In which the older Yuki girls, Cassidy and Katherine, marvel at.

Cristopher's eyes also stuck out, along with Jetzu's and his sister's. He had sharp, golden eyes that could scare you at the slightest glance, and shaggy, dirty blonde hair that he inherited from his mother. Everything about him complimented his perfectly tanned skin in every single way. And even though he was born two minutes after his sister, he protected her like he was her big brother. Kira was never called a freak when Chris was around. Though she always reminded Cris that she could take care of herself, and that the names didn't bother her at all.

Nathan had icy, light pink hair, which he swore made him look girly, but every one of the girls and women he knew begged to differ. They claim it made him more attractive. His eyes were a dark brown, darker than anyone else's eyes in his family. And he just had this dark aura around him that said "don't mess with me", but he was a generally nice guy like his father, Atticus Rhodes. Although, if you did mess with him, or any of his friends for that matter, don't expect him to stay his nice self towards you.

"Jay's picking up Mika and Miko," Jade responded to her niece's previous question, "There's an emergency at the hospital and they need Mandy to perform immediate surgery." Miko and Mika were the daughters of Mandy Wright, previously a Princeton. Miko was nine-years-old, while Mika was eight. Mandy was the best surgeon at the Domino Hospital, while her husband was a working officer.

"When he comes home we train, right?" Chris asked, earning a nod from Jade. Kira, Chris, Nathan, and Jetzu were all training under Jaden, learning to control their shadow magic. Ten-year-old Andrew Bradley Hassleberry, Tyranno and Violet Hassleberry's youngest, already learned how to control his dino power, something Tyranno never bothered accomplishing. Also, eleven-year-old Destiny Silvia Pheonix can sometimes see the future, this was revealed when she turned seven. Although, Destiny can't yet control when she does see the future, they usually come in dreams.

Andrew, nicknamed Drew, has shaggy hair in which is a mixture of dirty blonde, and dark brown. He has green, animal-like eyes, that come with his Dino DNA. Drew was told that his father, when he was fourteen, was digging up dinosaur bones and a rock fell on him causing him to break his leg. And so they used the dinosaur bones that he dug up to replace his broken leg. So from then on out Tyranno's had some Dino DNA, which he passed on to Drew.

Destiny has layered, icy purple hair that stopped just below her shoulders, completed with her beautiful, big, dark blue eyes. Silver hair clips held back her bangs from getting into her eyes, two on each side. Destiny only tells people who need to know about her visions, so if it's anything major, if can be avoided.

"Yeah," Jade answered. She put down the cookies on a table and turned to leave, but then turned back, remembering something, "Oh, and Jace, Al, there's mail for you in the livingroom." She added, then entering the house again. Jason and Alex exchanged a look, then quickly went inside to retrieve their letters.

"What was that about?" Drew asked, arms crossed. The now nine children began taking their own seats at the picnic table. From left to right, on the side closest to the house, sat: Marina and Jessica, with two seats saved for Jason and Alex next to each girl. On the farther side, sat: Nathan, Drew, Jetzu, Cris, Kira, and Joanna. It was a long picnic table.

"They've been waiting for their letter of acceptance to Duel Academy. I already got mine, now I just need to take the exams to determine my ranking. " Jessica explained. "They can't wait to go to the school their dad saved multiple times."

"I didn't get mine yet either." Marina groaned, crossing her arms over her chest. "Dad said that I could get it anytime from now to August next year." While the girls talked, the guys were having their own conversation, but that wasn't important at the time.

"Don't worry, " Joanna imputed into the conversation, "Mara and Mark work there. They'll be sure to tell you if you get in." Marina shot her a small glare, "I mean when you get in! Because we all know you will." Joanna quickly corrected herself.

"Nice save Jo." Kira whispered to her, a smirk playing at her lips. Kira and Joanna were also related, Kira's mom being Alexis Yuki, former Rhodes. Joanna gave Kira an annoyed look and sighed. Kira just smiled at her, chuckling softly.

A loud splash from behind took everyone's attention out of their individual conversations. The group instinctively got up and ran to the Yuki's backyard. And oh, what a sight that was. Looking up, you could see Jason cracking up on the second floor patio, looming down to the large pool in the backyard. Jade, who also heard the splash and got there a couple of seconds before the group, hand her hands covering her mouth, preventing her laughs from escaping. A couple of the nine individuals that just got there also found themselves holding back laughter, while the others just stared at what was in front of them, grinning. In the pool was Alex fully clothed and thoroughly soaked. He was glaring up at his brother, fists clenched tightly at his sides. But that soon changed.

When Kira could no longer hold it in. Alex's glare left Jason, finding the preteen more vulnerable. A smirk found its way to Alex's features, "You find this funny, don't ya, little sis?" Kira could only nod, and although she knew what was coming next, she didn't move from her spot. Alex jumped out of the pool using his upper body strength, hurrying toward the expecting girl, and picked her up bridal style. Kira could only squirm in her older brothers arms, still grinning, but the laughter long gone. Alex laughed as he jumped right back into the pool, now getting Kira soaked along with him.

"INCOMING!" Jason warmed, jumping into the pool himself, joining his twin brother and younger sister. This made a very large splash, considering the fall, making Kira, who was still in Alex's arms, shriek, and Alex wince as dozens of drops of water collided with their skin.

Jessica and Marina shared a look, both grinning mischievously. And both girls then simultaneously raced toward the pool, jumping in with an enormous splash, die to the double jump. Not long afterwards, everyone else, save the adult, was in the pool, splashing about and just having fun.

"Oh yeah," Alex paused, "We got excepted by Duel Academy!"

I'm literally posting this at the public library. My updates will be slow from now until I get my baby back.

I wrote this on a tablet, which was seriously hard. The tablet sucks so I had to wait 'til I could come here, to the library, to edit and correct this chapter. Sorry 'bout that.

I can't wait to post the [maybe] sequel/next chapter.

I want my laptop back now.
