Random Talk: I totally should have said this earlier, but I just realized what I was doing. Okay, there will be some OOC-ness in the beginning part of the fic. That is because I am just getting people introduced, more so with this chapter. As the fic progresses, they will be more like what they are like in the show with a few exceptions.

In general, some aspects of personalities might be changed since I'm going off an idea for an actual story in my head. As I never really grasped the personalities of the characters from season 3 and 4, they might seem OOC since I'm going off what I read about them.

If any part of this bothers you, feel free to stop reading. You have been warned, so do not complain.

Angelic Duel

Turn 2

The Two Princes of the Night

Normally students stayed in the dorms associated with their level. Obelisks stayed in the Obelisk dorms, Ras stayed in Ra, and Osiris stayed in the shack by the cliff. To see Johan wear a blue vest the next morning along with various articles of clothing surrounding the room was a surprise to say the least.

"Wow, are all these yours?" Judai asked as he picked up a nearby shirt. "How did they get here?"

"Guardian sealing spell," Johan said with a smile. "It makes it easier to travel when your stuff is in a book. It's hard to explain the process to humans…"

"Forget that! You're an Obelisk!" Sho yelled. "Why were you assigned to our room?"

"Something about not enough rooms in the other dorms," Johan said scratching his head. "It doesn't really matter. I like it here!"

"Me too!" Judai chirped. "They have the best food here, and they always have enough for seconds!"

"Really? I always wanted to try human cuisine. Lead the way, Judai!"

"I'm starting to think I will never understand you two," Sho sighed along with Ruby Carbuncle and Winged Kuribo behind him. His two roommates never heard the comment as they were already half way down the stairs.

Johan was amazed by the school when he first entered the main building. The school was fairly large for something that focused on a card game. The hallways were large enough that he could fly without worrying about the walls. All the rooms he had a chance to see were like auditoriums. It was obvious that the academy was made with myths in mind to the young guardian. That was something that he wouldn't point out any time soon. Not with so many humans around.

He could pick out right away who was a myth and who was human. For the most part, they were the type that could easily pass as human like werewolves and vampires. Demons were quite numerous, which was shocking as most races were very prideful and disliked using charms to look like humans. Fairies and elves were rare seeing as they generally disliked human methods of education. Yet, there was nothing that could be the black blur.

During Johan's observation, Judai and Sho were explaining about various things about the school. Out of the three, Sho was the only one who noticed the weird expressions people were giving them. An Obelisk hanging out with two Osiris was extremely rare. Was it too much to ask to not to stick out?

"Hey, you're Yuuki Judai, right?" a Ra asked as he walked up to the group when they were outside of the classroom. "I saw your duel against Chronos-sensei. I'm Misawa Daichi."

"Ah, dude! You were the one that was dueling when I got there! I hope we get a chance to duel some time!"

"I as well. It will be interesting to see how my skills stack up to yours."

"Please, as if an Osiris could be worth dueling to anyone." a black haired Obelisk laughed from behind the group.

"Shut up, Manjoume," a nearby blonde girl said.

"Thunder! It's Manjoume Thunder!" Manjoume yelled.

"Yes, we know," the girl sighed. "Sorry about him. He tends to speak without thinking. I do have to admit that he does have a point. Osiris students typically aren't much of a challenge their first year. Well, at least that's what my brother told me…"

"Yeah, Ryo told me that also," Sho sighed.

"Wait, your brother is Kaiser?" the girl asked. When Sho nodded in confirmation, she smiled. "Well, isn't that something… I'm Tenjoin Asuka, Fubuki's younger sister! Our brothers were best friends!"

"Why do you say 'were'?" Misawa asked.

"He's been missing for two years," Asuka said softly. "My parents are hiding something from me about it and I'm going to find out what it is. Ryo and Yusuke already said they were going to help me."

"I'll help, too!" Johan said. "It's my duty to help humans in trouble!" Everyone except the two Osiris students was shocked about his outburst.

"I'm going to guess he's a myth," Misawa whispered to Sho who only nodded. Sho knew then it was going to be a long school year.

"Did you hear about Maki?" a third year Obelisk whispered to his friend.

"Yeah, he's in the hospital," the other said. "He was always stupid for going into the woods at night."

"Well, supposedly he went to the Abandon Dorm. Rumor has it he had a duel with a demon and lost!"

"I heard it was a vampire!" another Obelisk joined in. "A werewolf is a possibility as it wasn't a full moon."

"Silence!" Yusuke exclaimed. "They are just rumors, and nothing more. I am tired of listening to all these drabbles."

The three students shrunk realizing that the two top students were just behind them. Everyone knew not to mention the Abandon Dorm around the two. Even after two years they were still sensitive about the disappearance of their good friend, Fubuki.

"It is still unclear what happened," Ryo added. "Make sure to stop spreading rumors."

"Yes sir!" the three students said at the same time.

"Everyone, take your seats!" Chronos yelled. Everyone jumped seeing as most students feared him, no matter their rank. Yusuke just glared before joining Ryo in the back of the room. No one questioned the empty seat between the two.

The day seemed to drag for everyone seeing as it was the first day of classes. Misawa and Asuka decided to hang out with the three other students. Manjoume seemed to hang out just to make cracks towards Judai, which the Osiris student never seemed to take them as insults. Judai already came up with several methods to sleep through class by the second period. Johan wasn't making the situation any better adding his own suggestions. Everyone just sighed and shook their heads in disbelief. They were completely oblivious to the stares they received from the other students.

"Hey, wanna come back with us to the Red Dorm?" Judai asked.

"Like I would hang out with you losers," Manjoume barked with a laugh.

"Wasn't he the one that was following us?" Johan asked, making Manjoume freeze before stomping off in anger.

"That's just how he is," Asuka sighed. "I better leave as well. What they say about Chronos-sensei is true. I have no clue how nii-san survived as long as he did."

"Hard to believe he would have a hard time as they say he was one of the elite," Misawa commented.

"Trust me; The Fubuki I know is completely different from the stories."

The moon glowed in the night sky, almost full but still waxing. Once more, Judai was out exploring the nearby woods. Somehow, he managed to drag Sho and Johan with him. While Johan followed of his own free will, Sho had to be convinced that they wouldn't get in trouble. Despite all their reassurances, Sho kept asking if they could go back to the safety of their room.

"Why are we doing this again?" Sho asked as he clung closely to Judai.

"Johan said he sensed some powerful myths out here," Judai said. "Maybe they would have some information on Fubuki!"

"Not to mention they are pretty high ranking in their particular race," Johan added. "I think one is a vampire while the other is a werewolf. As a guardian, it's my job to announce my presence to any myths in any standing of power. That way they don't interfere with missions."

"You never did tell us why you were here," Sho said.

"All I was told to do was observe and report any strange occurrences," Johan answered. He suddenly stopped, causing the other two to stop as well. "Stay close. It seems they're not on friendly terms."

"How did you know?" Judai asked excitedly. "Is it some kind of guardian trick?"

"Uh, even I can hear a fight from here, aniki," Sho said.

"Really? Hey, you're right! You can hear them! Is it just me or are they getting closer?"

Before anyone could respond, something flew by them before crashing into a tree behind them. They soon realized that it was actually a person when they slowly got up from the bushes. He had shoulder length green hair and violet eyes that glowed gold. His black outfit was ripped in several places as if he was attacked by an animal.

"Is that the best you got?" the boy yelled in the direction he came from. A large wolf with what seemed to be dark blue fur jumped out of the bushes, taking up a fighting stance. It completely ignored the three bystanders, growling the other combatant.

"Nii-san!" Sho yelled suddenly making everyone look in his direction.

"'Nii-san'?" the three humans said bewildered.

"Sho? What are you doing out here?" a fourth voice said. The strange part was that it seemed to come from the wolf.

"Oh, so this is your little brother, Ryo?" the stranger asked with a smirk. "He really looks as pathetic as he sounded."

"Back off, Fujiwara," the wolf growled even louder than before. "He and his friends are under my protection."

"Tck, whatever," the one named Fujiwara responded. "Besides, I bet his blood is tainted by wolf." With that said, the mysterious teen took off running.

"Someone want to explain what just happened?" Judai said abruptly. "I mean, we have a talking dog here. At least, I think it talked…"

"Um, guys, this is my older brother, Ryo," Sho said with an uneasy smile. He's a werewolf."

"That means I'm a wolf, not a dog," Ryo said, appearing to give a slight glare. "And you can hear me because it's something that isn't well known about us. Now, what are you doing out here, Sho?"

"We wanted to help Asuka find out about her brother," Judai answered. "I made him come out here, so you should be mad at me."

"I'm not mad. I'm worried for his safety along with yours. I have yet announced that you are under my protection."

"If it will help, I'll take them back to the dorms," Johan said. "It would be best since you're still hunting and it seems Sho can't change."

"Thank you, Guardian."

Random Talk: I'm sorry for the delay. I went into a bout of depression for over a year. So, unless you wanted something like the ending of Evagelion, be happy I didn't work on this then.

Until next time!

Rubi-chan, over and out!
