Tetsuo: "Finally! You've updated! I want to know what happens to Yuma!"

Akari: "Yuma better be alright!"

Stardust Finex: "Guys, guys, calm down! As for Yuma, I can't say any more details, but you will learn about his fate soon enough, but not here."


Chapter 6

Kurai never slept so peacefully before in his life. He seemed very content at the moment while he slept in Yuma's hammock inside the attic. The sun began to shine through the stained glass windows, and the birds were singing. Nothing could shatter Kurai's sleep.

"YUMA! GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" boomed Yuma's sister.

Kurai fell out of the hammock at the sound of Akari's loud voice. He fell onto the floor butt first. He groaned as he rubbed his back. "Damn sister," Kurai muttered, "thinks she can tell me what to do."

Kurai off of the floor and descended into the room below. Yuma's room was neat and organized, which seemed a bit odd to the boy. Yuma's school uniform was laid onto a chair and his bed. Kurai looked at the uniform for a moment. "Am I supposed to wear this to school?" he wondered. "It's not my style, but if I want to find Kotori, guess I'll have to wear this stupid outfit."

After Kurai put on Yuma's school uniform, he grabbed his bag and made his way downstairs. He entered the kitchen and he snagged a rice ball.

Before he could leave, he was greeted by Obomi. She placed her metal hands on Kurai and adjusted his tie. "Beep, beep, Yuma, you suck. You suck."

Kurai took Obomi's 'insult' seriously and said, "Move, you stupid trash can!" he barked.

"Yuma, you suck. You suck," repeated Obomi.

Kurai lost his patience. He picked up Obomi and slung her over his shoulders. He moved over to the front door and opened it with his free hand. Once the door opened, Kurai smirked at Obomi. "Go long, you piece of scrap!"

He hurled Obomi outside the door and the robot flew into the sidewalk. The unfortunate Litterbot crashed onto the pavement and skidded along the curb until she hit the STOP sign. Kurai strolled by Obomi and mocked, "Serves you right, trash heap! How dare you disobey your future ruler? If you'll excuse me, I've got better things to do than listen to your insults!"

Kurai walked to Yuma's school in a casual way. He observed most of Heartland's citizens socializing among each other. He got a glimpse of some of the students as they were wearing the same uniform as him. The girls strolled by and Kurai couldn't help but notice how short their skirts were.

Kotori and Tetsuo walked to school together as usual, waiting for Yuma to show up on their walk. They saw 'Yuma' in the distance by the curb. Kotori then shouted, "Oy! Yuma!"

Kurai's ears perked up at the name 'Yuma.' He found the source of the voice to be… Kotori Mizuki? "Could it be?…. Is this Kotori Mizuki? She looks hotter than in her picture! It's time to make my move!"

Tetsuo jumped off of his skateboard and gave Kurai a pat on the back. "Yo, Yuma! What's up?"

Kurai responded, "Not much, man." He gazed toward Kotori. He slicked his hair spikes and approached Kotori. The girl watched Kurai sling his over her arms.
"Hey, babe," said Kurai smoothly.

Kotori looked at Tetsuo in confusion. "Uh, Tetsuo? Did Yuma just call me 'babe'?"

"That's…. odd," responded the hefty boy. "You're not sick, are you, Yuma?"

Kurai let go of Kotori and flailed his arms. He shook nervously and said, "Me? Sick? What? No! I-I-I'll see you guys later!" Kurai made his way away from the kids. Kotori and found themselves in confusion.

"Well, that was awkward," said Tetsuo, hoping to break the silence.

Later that day, before history class started, Kotori was talking to some of her friends. She was re-telling the incident from this morning.

"So, Yuma comes up to me and Tetsuo, and he's all like, 'Hey babe.' Isnt that… odd?" said Kotori.

Miyumi, a brunette, shook her head. "No, I've never heard of Yuma acting like this around any girl."

Sherry, a blonde, responded, "I can't say, but what's with Yuma?"

Kurai entered the classroom. He looked around the room to find more students socializing with each other. But he noticed the girls' skirts were really short. He wolf-whistled at Kotori, "Looking good, baby. You missed me?"

Kotori tried to make little eye contact with Kurai. "Look Yuma, I don't know why you're acting like this, but could you stop? It's starting to creep me out a bit."

Kurai growled, "Whatever you say, woman." He walked away from Kotori and he strolled to his desk and slumped in his seat.

The school bell rung, which marked the start of the second period. A young man entered the classroom with a pleasent smile on his face. He was handsome, despite looking a bit "nerdy." He wore a sophisticated purple suit, and black eyeglasses.

"Good morning everyone!" he said cheerfully.

"Good morning, Mr. Kay!" responded the class.

Mr. Kay coughed, "Now that we're all here, why don't we start history class? Ahem, Duel Monsters was created by Maximillian Pegasus…"

One hour later…

"With the help of his friends, Yugi Moto was able to defeat Bakura. Any questions?" concluded Mr. Kay.

Kurai jumped into his desk. "Good lesson and all, Mr. Kay, but I've got something more entertaining!"

"Yuma, sit down, please! Now's not the time for-"

"Screw you!" shouted Kurai. He looked around the classroom and winked at the female classmates, "Hey girls, check this out!"

Kurai loosened his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt. He let his shirt drop to the floor. His chest was revealed, along with his chest scars. Kurai was slightly more muscular than Yuma. The girls blushed at the sight of Kurai's bare chest, and some of them fainted. Mr. Kay, Tetsuo, Takashi, and Tokunosuke stared at 'Yuma' in confusion, while Kotori and Cathy blushed with the rest of the girls.

The bare chested boy jumped off of his desk and walked toward the girls. He started feeling very flirty at seeing the girls' short skirts. Kurai took off his pants and shoes and all he stood in was his boxers. The girls began to drool even more at Kurai. They swarmed around him.

"Yuma! Can I feel your abs?"

"How did you get those manly scars?"

"You're soooo fit! I've never seen a guy at school this muscular!"

Kurai flexed his arms. "Now, now, girls, there's plenty of me to go around. No need to fight over me," he said smoothly.

Mr. Kay, who now recovered from shock, grew impatient. "Does Mr. Tsukumo think he is allowed to disrupt my class? I don't think so!" He grabbed a book off of his desk and slammed it really loudly on his podium. "Girls! Sit down, now!"

Mr. Kay glared at Yuma, "And Yuma, for Pete's sake, put your shirt back on! This isn't a fashion show or gym! Principal's office, NOW!"

"Aw, party's over? That's too bad!" Kurai said sarcastically.

He put his uniform back on and winked back the girls. "Call me, you know you want me."

The girls started going crazy again at 'Yuma.' Meanwhile, Mr. Kay mentally slapped himself. "Let's go, Yuma! Now!" he barked.

He led Yuma out into the hall as they were walking down to the office. He had a confused/stern look on his face. "Yuma, what's gotten into you? You're never like this!"


Takashi: "Okay... what the heck just happened?

Tetsuo: "My eyes are burning!"

Kotori and Cathy: "..."

Tokunosuke: "I'm surrounded by morons, ura."

Stardust Finex: "Well... anyway, leave your comments, questions, or concerns in the reviews, please!"
