Hey everyone, I know you guys must have thought I gave up on this story. Well I did. I fell out of love with the yu-gi-oh fandom and couldn't think of a way to continue without hating with I end up with. But after that... long break and a few tries at writing this chapter before and it getting deleted. I thought about it.

I dont want to leave this story here, I want to see this and my other stories threw to an end. So even if updates are slow, chapters are going to be much longer then what I usually do and there WILL be an end, I promise.

Now, onto the reviews, even if I dont deserve them.

Percephine ~ Weird but I think it's actually really nice, I hope your story is doing well.

Ryu-Ran 2200 ~ I'm glad you caught that detail about the claws it made me happy when I saw it. Thinking back, I was trying to write it how Yuma would react. That and Black Mist understands social norms much better then Astral. It would be a bit like going up to a person and punching them, even if you didnt say you dont punch him that still gives you the right to be mad. Yuma feels like the character that would over act at something like that. Hope you understand.

Thor94 ~ Slow it down there, not sure how far the relationship will go, maybe calm him down but not sure if I want to write that.

Larix959 ~ Your review made me laugh, yeah I can see that to.

Well onto the story, after a long break I welcome back Human.

Yuma had calmed down after a bit, but his tail was still flicking in agitation every now and then. He looked at both of them his arms crossed

"Okay, now, I know you both most likely want more information so, go ahead and ask."

Astral and Black Mist both thought about it before Astral went over and sat next to Yuma

"I am curious partner, why would you keep this a secret from me? I know you had reasons but you never went into detail." Yuma sighed, he knew this would be coming.

"Well at first, I didn't know you, why would I bother telling you something so personal when we didn't know each other, after I got to know you... after you became my partner, It was less about not caring to being scared. You meant so much to me, if you didn't accept this part of me... avoid me when it happens... I dont know what I would do..." He was distraught, if Astral had acted like Kotori... he wouldn't be able to deal with it.

Black Mist scoffed at the two, their partnership made him sick sometimes. He looked at them but didn't come any closer "Hm, if you two are done with that moment I have a question as well." Yuma glared as Astral mumbled and moved away letting him ask.

"Fine, what is it 96." Yuma was happy at getting that off his chest, he could have at least let Astral respond to that.

"You said earlier that because your coloring was crimson it showed you were not to be messed with. What is that suppose to mean? How would a color determine how strong you are in scenarios like this?" Yuma sighed and leaned back against the wall next to his hammock making sure he wouldn't fall

"Alright that ones a bit harder to answer. Well I guess I can explain it this way, there's a rank down in Hell. And the rank is not only in status but in the color of which you were born with. Crimson is one of the colors that represent the strongest fighters, the strongest is black, we always have leaders with black wings, tails and eyes. And one of the weakest colors is amethyst with the weakest being a light pink, that is very rare. But just because your color makes you weak doesnt mean you dont have rights like how a lot of people think of it. If you are lower on the color scale you can still have a powerful position and if you're higher on the scale you can still be a peasant and worthless. Even so everyone is treated with respect." He thought about it a bit more while the two listened

"Then you have rank in status, that rank someone is usually born, or married into. With the peasants and workers, to the knights and fighters, everything else in-between and then our leader. This ties in with the color rank, there could be strong peasants and weak nobles. Most likely from marriage and then their offspring." He said with a few thoughts, that was about everything to know in that subject.

Black Mist seemed pleased with the answer before tilting his head "If you are a high rank in color then what rank are you in status then?"

Yuma was quite before laughing slightly, Astral blinked at hearing sadness in his voice. What would make him sad about this?

"Well... I dont know what rank I am 96." They two spirits paused before Black Mist glared

"What do you mean you don't know? Do you just not want to tell me?"

"No. If you haven't noticed my parents aren't around. I was given up to my family when I was just a baby, despite what I was they cared and raised me. But I dont know anything about who I am in my home world, and I honestly can't say if I ever will." He glared at them before taking a breath and looking away "So please, I dont like talking about that."

The two beings paused and watched him for a few moments before making a quite agreement to not push anything

"Alright then, I guess that's all my questions." 96 said and moved of to the corner of the room to think, Astral sighed and moved over next to Yuma

"It's fine Yuma, I still do not remember all of my old life." He tried to make him feel better as Yuma sighed and ran a hand threw his hair

"Astral I thank you for the thought but... you will remember, when we get all of the numbers back to you. You will remember... I may never know no matter what. My... my real parents might be dead for all I know..." He looked down, distraught "Astral, please. Just leave me alone for the day alright? I'll be back to normal tomorrow night, I always bounce back you know?" He gave a weak laugh before lying down and facing away from him.

Astral watched him sad before sighing and moving away, he would respect Yuma's wishes for now.

Time Skip

As he said Yuma was back to normal within that amount of time, he had his smile back and was slipping on his new uniform. It was like the old one but with a few differences, it was a simple black uniform with a white shirt and a crimson tie for him. It also had gold accents with simple dress shoes.

As always he was rushing down the house to get to school on time, to be stopped by his grandmother's broom as always

"I love you grandma!"

"And I love you two darling, stay safe okay!"

After the usually morning, now night routine finished he was running out the door before taking to the skies with his wings. Astral and Black Mist appeared next to him loss for words at the sight of the city lit up at night, other demons were flying threw the sky as well quite a few waving at him before vanishing into the night sky. Yuma seemed happy watching all of this before landing at the school.

"Oi! Yuma there you are! Of course even when it's the first day you're still almost late." Yuma turned around and smiled at seeing Shark, Flip, and Cathy walking over to him.

Shark's eyes were sharper along with his face. When he spoke you could tell all of his teeth has sharpened to points and his tongue had split in half. His nails had turned into claws and had a blue tint to them showing that he could poison a person. His uniform was the same as Yuma's but with a dark blue tie.

Flip had two horns now protruding from his head, and teeth just like shark's. There was a devil tipped tail now flicking back and forth from behind him. He was actually wearing the uniform out of respect and had a light green tie.

Cathy on the other hand looked very different, her hair had been straightened so it had lost its volume and rested flat against her head all the way down to her hips. She had taken off her gloves showing her natural claws, her tail was flicking back and forth and she had ditched her glasses showing her bright slit yellow eyes. The female uniform was a black pencil skirt that went down to her knees,with a long sleeved button shirt with a small pocket. It had gold accents instead of silver and she had a light grey ribbon on neck of her shirt.

"Aww come on you guys! Sure I wasn't as early as I could have been but I'm not late! I would never be late to something like this!" Yuma said with a big smile as Flip laughed

"He's right Shark! Yuma-sensie would never be late! You are being so rude!" Cathy sighed and spoke up after Flip

"As always, Flip is being the weird one-" "What can you say? It's too much fun when you're a trickster!" "Anyways!" She glared a Flip before looking back over to Yuma with a smile "I'm glad you're here Yuma! I got your schedule for you because I had a feeling you would be late."

Yuma grabbed it with a smile "Thanks Cathy! You all really are life savers you know that?" She laughed

"Nah, you're just forgetful!" He had the humor to look offended and walked past them

"Oh Cathy I thought we were friends! Was I wrong about all of this- BWA!" He stumbled backwards as Shark let go of his shirt and glared at him "And what was that for?"

"You're walking the wrong way, you got your flying class first. Stupid." Yuma blinked and checked his schedule, oh. He did have that class first

"Ah, well I knew that the whole time! Just messing with you guys, later!" He ran off as Shark sighed and Cathy faceplamed

"What are we going to do with him?" Shark muttered, Flip smiled

"Well we obviously just go with it! Come on you guys he brings so much fun to you two sticks in the mud!" He blinked before running off laughing and the pair chased after him angrily

"We are not sticks in the mud!"

Yuma looked around at the duel areas the other kids would fight with in the day later, it wasn't used often but all of them could be turned on to become one large area to test flying abilities.

He heard some other kids talking about him and that he was the crimson without a rank but ignored it, they were obvious first years and he would show them wrong soon enough. Every first year jumped and a loud and angry voice rang out

"All right! I was everyone along the far line to count you all! MOVE IT!" They kids scurried over and lined up as a women with long red hair and bright green eyes, She had dark red wings to the point they were almost black and was wearing what looked to be flexible armor "Alright all of you! I'll say this once so listen up! I am your teacher for this month and the first years will learn how to fly and the rest will keep improving alright?!"

This was Marie Scarlet, she was one of the strongest full blood demons in Heartland. She used her power to keep her students in line and teach them how to stay safe in the real world. If it meant she needed to be a hard ass to keep them safe from the insane people in this world. She would.

"Okay I'm going to start simple. My name is Marie Scarlet, you will address me as Ms. Scarlet do you understand?" When only the second and third years responded she glared "I said. Do. You. Understand!" a chorus of 'Yes Ms. Scarlets!' rang out from the students as she nodded "Good, looks like we actually have some that are actually alive this time!" She stopped her foot as lights shone on her to make sure everyone could see.

"Aright, lets get down to business!" Her wings flared out from behind her, they looked like skeleton wings that shown a dark red "I teach you all how to fly to escape a threat and keep yourselves safe. Ever demon is different but despite that I will teach you what I know because you don't know who is out there wanting to take out demons not caring for age or pride!" She walked up and down the line of students remembering the faces.

"But! That does not mean we hurt these humans back. That is not what we were left on this world to do! For now." She pointed to a first year as they jumped "You! Tell me the 4 wings types there are!"

The kid swallowed and spoke up.

"T-they four wing types for demons are. Leather, Feathered, Skeleton o-or Other Ms. Scarlet!" He spoke in a nervous voice. She nodded and pointed to a girl this time

"Tell me what kinds of wings that can be formed in the other category!" The girl swallowed

"The wings can come in all different shapes and sizes. They can appear metal or a type of skin, there can also be symbols or items on these wings. It truly depends on the demon Ms. Scarlet!"

She looked rather pleased

"Nice to know some of my students have brains. In my class you will learn how each wing type flies, even if it isn't yours. Because you never know what might happen, you must understand how every demon works and I am hear to help you!"

Her aura flared up making everyone's backs straighten

"Now. I want to see you wings! Up and ready!"

It was a rather eventful class period

Yuma was walking out of class with a big smile as he watched the first years stumble, sore from the harsh training. The ones that liked to be smart to Ms. Scarlet always suffered the worst. He laughed before moving over with his friends and walked to one of the classrooms. It was full of second years like them and filled with excited chatter.

"Hey Shark what do you think out cards will be?" Yuma was looking at the roof seeing Astral and Black Mist watching curiously.

Cards were something that you finally got when you were a second year. It looked like a duel monster card but it let you channel your aura threw it and create powerful attacks in fights. They always showed up as spell or trap cards though, never a monster.

"Who knows Yuma, but I know for sure mine will be great. I bet yours will wimpy just like you." This started another argument as Cathy sighed and looked over

"Boys it's starting, unless you want to get yours last come on." They snapped over before walked ahead glaring at each other. Things were always taken a bit more serious during this time, even their silly rivalry.

Cathy was the first of the 4 of them to go and grabbed a blank card, it developed a gray hue before becoming the magic card mirror shield (I'm actually not sure what it's called sorry) She smiled "Defense huh? Well I was never really an attacker anyways. I accept my card." It vanished with a small burst of light as she turned around and smiled at the three boys "Good luck."

Shark came up next and grabbed his card looking determined, he wanted strength to protect the ones that mattered to him. It flashed a brilliant dark blue before fading into Ocean projection, a field card. He blinked before smiling "Not what I was planing, but It will give me an edge in fights. I accept my card." It vanished in a burst of light as he moved away.

Flip bounded up and grabbed his card with a large smile, it flashed a bright green before turning into the magic card multiply. He laughed "This is perfect! Just think of the pranks I could start with this! I accept my card." It vanished as he walked away slipping on his hat per usually now that it was a better time.

Yuma was the last to step up looking nervous, he wasn't sure what he wanted... all he knew. He wanted to help everyone and keep them safe. He paused before picking up his card, it flashed a bright crimson before bleeding away to reveal.

The magic card A thousand knifes, he took in a breath looking shocked, such a strong card! And it was even one that Yugi And Yami once used before he was born! "O-oh wow... I never though I would get this kind of power... but I'll use it for good use and protect those I care for. I accept my card." It vanished like the rest as he felt it merge with his aura, he smiled and turned around walking over to the others "I can't believe it guys! We are gonna dominate this year as a group!" They all smiled, Yuma's cheerfulness was infectious sometimes. He slapped Shark on the back and ran off "Alright time to go to study hall! Bet I can beat you Shark!"

Shark quickly went after him screaming on how dare he think he could beat him, soon followed by the sound of thudding footprints and the screams of first years. Cathy and Flip looked at each other before snickering and following after them

"So you wanna bet who's gonna go threw a window first?"

"I'm saying Shark or a poor first year."

"Alright I'll go Yuma or a second year that was talking shit."

"You're on."

Ah yes, a very eventful night at school indeed.

I hope this was half way decent, I'm going to try and not just let this story die, I hope you will like this even though no one will probably read this anymore

I'm sorry about that
