Leave it to Atty!
DISCLAIMER: (copy and pasted it from chapter 1) I didn't own Yu-gi-oh GX. If I own it, Atty would be the main character. And GX would be a comedy anime.
Author's Note: The last chapter… I'm torn between Zane and Jaden DX
=(0_0)=
It was summer break at the Duel Academy. Most of the students went home except for some luckless students who forgot to buy a ticket home… like our main character in this story, Atty. But, Atty's not alone. Alexis, Zane and Syrus were all in one packet with Atty, since they trusted Atty to buy their ticket home, which Atty forgot to buy until it was sold out.
"So… Uh… You guys are not, you know, mad right?" Atty smiled sheepishly. He got cornered by his inquisitor team, Zane and Alexis. Atty was prepared for a really long lecture when he saw Alexis opening her mouth, but the only word that got out from Alexis' mouth is "No".
Zane sighed. "Atty, how could you forget to buy it?" Atty was just going to open his mouth to reply Zane's words when Zane continued. "I'm really sure I've reminded you EVERYDAY to buy it before it was sold out. But look, this is what you gave us."
"B- but Zane… I…"
"I should have known better than to trust you."
"Uh…," Atty can't think of a response for what Zane had just say. "Zane, I think you're being too harsh on Atty," Alexis touched Zane's shoulder, pulling him backwards. "Just… leave my brother here for a while. He's not used to having you angry at him."
"… Okay then."

The next day…
Knock, knock. An eager knock was heard on Zane's room. He got up from his bed, walks toward the door and opened it. "Morning Zaney Bunny!" Atty smiled brightly at his so-called best friend. Zane immediately slammed the door and locked it. After that, he ran to his drawer and grabbed some salt. Then he unlocked the door and opened it. "Go away evil spirit! I beg you, go away!" He threw the salt at Atty. "Whoa, Zane! What are you doing??" Atty tried to evade the salt. Zane gritted his teeth. "What else? I'm doing some exorcism right now. To get you out from Atticus' body." Atty frowned. "Huh? But I am me, Zane!" Zane stopped throwing the salt. "Really?" He asked suspiciously. "Yea… Wa- wa- wait!! Zane, Stop throwing that salt!" Zane smiled evilly and then said," Ha! You lowered your guard evil spirit! Now leave Atty's body! You've got the worst person to be possessed!"
"Za- Zane has gone mad!!" Atty screamed then ran.
Some minutes after Atty escaped, Zane smirked. "Now that Atty's gone, I can continue my sleep…" Then the door was closed.

Knock, knock. An eager knock was heard on Atty's room. He got up from his bed, walks toward the door and opened it. "Uh, morning, Atty. I think… Uh, I… Um, need your help." Atty immediately slammed the door and locked it. After that, he ran to his drawer and grabbed some salt. Then he unlocked the door and opened it. "Go away evil spirit! I beg you, go away!" He threw the salt at Zane. "Atty, wait! It's me Zane!" Zane tried to evade the salt. Atty shouted," Hell no! Now have a taste at this freshly stolen-from-the-kitchen salt!!" He continued throwing the salt at Zane. "Atticus Rhodes. Please. Stop. That." Atty stopped throwing it. "Huh? That tone… No way! Zane??!" Zane shrugged. "Yeah… Now, please get that salt away. I don't want you to go to frenzy mode again and start throwing those cooking salt at me. And one more thing Atty. You can't use cooking salt for exorcism." Atty looked at the sack of salt at his hand. "Huh? What's the difference? They're salt too right?" Zane replied," They're different. Oh, and don't waste your breath trying to ask me what's the difference. They're just different. No more explanation."

Zane hesitated a moment before he finally said," I've heard of this 'Leave it to Atty' help that you offered to everyone lately and I was wondering if you could help me too…"
"So… What do you want me to help you with?" Atty asked Zane. He can hardly wait any longer. This is it! Finally Zane accepts that he couldn't do anything right without me! Atty smirked. "Whatever you need me to help you with, just leave it to me! I'll get it done! Just… One thing. Don't forget to send me an e-mail as a proof that you has asked me to help you." Zane sighed," Okay okay. Should I send it now?" He asked. "The faster the better!"
Some moments later, Atty opened Zane's e-mail and the content was really shocking.
Sender: Zane Truesdale
Help me, Atty: Help me sell my brother on the Internet. I don't care it's legal or not.
"Zane, are you serious?" Atty asked. "Yeah. Sy has… done something unforgivable. Will you do it or not?"
Atty thought to himself for a while before answering then he nodded. "Okay. Just come back to me tomorrow. It will be done by then."

The next morning, Zane hurried to Atty's room. Inside, Atty was waiting for him with Syrus. "Atty, what's Sy doing here?" He asked hastily. Atty just waved at him, giving him the sign to come closer. "Lookie here, Zane," He said, pointing his finger at his computer's monitor. It shows a photo of Syrus, which has been blurred and under the photo, Zane could see the words clearly, SOLD OUT and next to it was the words: "Highest bidderim_so_handsome: $3500"
"Who's this 'im_so_handsome' guy? Tell me, Atty," Zane demanded Atty. Atty smiled. "Why, it's none other than me! What? No need to be THAT surprised… You should've known from the ID… Who else would deserve such a name?" Zane didn't bother to answer Atty since his question was rhetorical. I'll bet my money that Atty means who else would be that crazy to use that kind of name. Zane turned to Sy, holding out his hand. "Congrats, Sy. From now on you're Atty's." The younger Truesdale seemed shocked and didn't respond to Zane. He mumbled to himself," It can't be… Zane won't sell me… No… I can't believe it… It must be a lie. Atty's lying." Zane grabbed Sy's shoulder and said," Hear me, Sy. If you could find that thing you've lost, I'll take you back from Atty." Sy looked up. "R- really, Zane? You're not lying right?" Zane nodded. "Th- then I'll find it! No matter what!" Sy exclaimed.
=(0_0)=
Atty patted Syrus when Zane had left. "There, there, lil' blue. I'll help you find whatever thing that you lost. Hey, I won't even charge you with the need to write me that e-mail!" He tried to cheer Syrus and handed him another tissue. Sy sneezed," Thanks Atty…"
"So, what did you lost?" Atty asked curiously. Syrus hesitated but he answered,"It's my brother's deck."
"Oh… It's Zane's deck… WAIT!!! Zane's? You lost IT? How come?"
"It all began from yesterday… I asked Zane whether he could lend me his deck or not. I want to… uh, study it. And he gave it to me. I remember clearly that I've give it back to Zane after dinner, but the next morning he asked me to give his deck back. I told him that I've given it to him and he insisted on saying that he hasn't got it."
"If you're THAT sure that you've give it to him, why didn't you insist too?
"I- If big brother said that I haven't give it to him… Then he must be right. He's the one that's never wrong."
"Geez, lil' blue… Have more faith in yourself! Zane is a human too! He must make a mistake sometimes…," Atty encouraged Syrus. "But, what? When? I've never seen him making any mistake." Atty smirked," That's where you're mistaken lil' blue. Actually, recently Zane has made a grave mistake… Huh? What is the mistake, you ask? Why, he entrusted me to buy our ticket and that's the whole reason why we're still stuck here!" Syrus stared at Atty," So, basically, all of this began from your fault." Atty answered proudly," Uh- huh!"
=(0_0)=
"Let's see… First, you're sure you've given it to Zane but Zane's sure that he hasn't received it. That's it in a nutshell, right?"
"Yup."
"Okay… I think I've got an idea now! First, we've to make sure that you did give it to him, then we'll find where Zane placed that deck so we could show him that you're saying the truth."
"Uh…"
"Well, what are you waiting for? C'mon! Let's go!"
=(0_0)=
In Syrus' room…
Atty and Syrus searched every nook and cranny but they're still unable to find anything that could show Zane that he has received that deck from Syrus, except for the fact that the deck isn't there in the room anymore. "But the fact that Zane's deck isn't in this room could mean two things… First, you've give it back to Zane so basically Zane's in possession of it, or, second, you really have lost it like what Zane has said. I need to make Are you really truly sure you've given it to Zane?"
"Y- yes! I'll even bet fifty bucks on it!"
"If you say so… Then let's do part 2 of our investigation! Let's talk to Zane!"
=(0_0)=
"HEEEEEYYY, ZANE! YOU THERE? PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!" Atty knocked the door impatiently. Inside, Zane was trying to ignore it, but the knocking got louder and louder so he decided to open it before Atty broke the door. "What is it?" He asked, annoyed. Atty gave the annoyed Zane a big smile and said," We're here to ask you a few questions." Zane stared at Atty, then at Syrus and then back to Atty again. "What question?" He asked, knowing that Atty won't leave his room 'till he got what he wanted. "Okay,let's begin the questioning! Lil' blue, you ready? Don't forget to write every detail Zane had said!" Syrus showed Atty his pen and notes," Roger, commander!"
"Commander?"
"Yeah, I asked lil' blue to call me that! Anyway, let's move on to the questioning. First, what did you do last night, after dinner?"
"I took a bath after I arrived at my room. Then I read until I slept."
"Have you written it all, lil' blue? Good. Next question. Are you, really really absolutely without any hesitation, sure that you haven't got your deck back from Sy?"
Zane nodded. "I'm 100% sure about it."
"Okay. Don't forget to write it down, lil' blue! Last, can I go and take a look at your bathroom? Oh, and I won't take 'no' as an answer."
"Wha…? Hey, Atty! Stop!" Zane tried to stop Atty but his efforts were in vain. Atty has stood up and ran as fast as he could to Zane's bathroom, yanked the door open and entered it. Several moments later, Atty laughed so hard and said, between his laughs," EUREKA! FOUND IT! I've solved the problem!"
What Atty said piques the brothers' curiosity and they followed Atty into the bathroom. There, they saw Atty holding a pile of card. When he noticed that Sy and Zane had followed him into the bathroom, he smiled," Hey! Look at what I found! YOUR deck, Zane." Zane looked at the mess Atty has created. All of his dirty clothes that hasn't been washed was lying on the top of the bathroom's floor. He walked towards Atty and Atty handed him his deck, which he took immediately. "Then, are you going to take lil' blue back?" Atty asked him. "Oh, that… Yeah, I'm a man of my words so… Come here, Sy." Syrus ran to his big brother and hugged him tightly," Big bro! I missed you!"
…
…
…
"Okay, let's stop the drama here okay. Zaney- kins, it hurts me to say this, but I won't give lil' blue back for free. You just need to pay me… let's say, $3500. How 'bout it?" Atty offered Zane. "What? Are you nuts, Atty??" is the only thing that Zane could say. Atty said, without any trace of feeling sorry," Well… You've given him to me. So lil' blue is mine now. And, nothing comes free in this world, okay? So cough it up, my $3500." Zane gulped," Is there no other method of payment?"
Atty smiled suspiciously. "Well… I did have another method of paying. Wanna hear it?"
Both Zane and Syrus nodded.
"Just say 'thanks' to me. That's all," Atty said. Zane frowned. Thanks? THANKS?? Do you have any idea that all of this won't happen if you didn't forget to buy those tickets?? Zane thought to himself. "So, Zane??" Atty asked. "Ugh… Th- thanks Atty,"Zane said, trying to keep his voice as low as he could. "Huh? Sorry Zane, I couldn't hear it!" Atty smirked. "Tsk… Thanks, Atty," Zane repeated, louder than before. "Do it again," Atty demanded. "What? No way!" Zane responded. "Atty smiled slyly," If you won't do it, I'll tell your mom what happened."
"What? Atty, you sly fox!"
"Call me all you like, Zane. Where's my 'thanks'?"
"Thanks."
"Again!"
"Thanks."
And that's how Atty continued to torment Zane the rest of the day. That's also the main reason why Zane didn't even hesitate to become the Hell Kaiser, to get as far away as he could from Atty.

And that's the end. Hopefully, you all enjoyed it. I think this is the longest chapter ever. Dunno if I'll ever make a chapter this long again. Anyway, don't forget to review before Atty blackmail you!
