Chapter 4 : Unsettling Differences

"Hurry Up!, we're running Late!"

"I'm Com..." Kit started as he fell out of the Top bunk , head first to the floor below. "Ow...Coming...Yawn..." The half asleep Kid rushed down the Hall , hitting nearly every Trash can and post on the way down.

"Just around the Corner and... Wait nobody's here..." Kit said Glaring daggers at Otonashi.

"Yup, because we're early ,." He said trying not to laugh.

"Wh-What! " Kit protested.

The Friends were To formation 15 minutes early, Roxxi was notably absent. , As Students began to fill the hall , Kit watched seeing young and old, weak and strong, and then. "D-Dasha..."
Dasha walked in surrounded by multiple Obelisk blue Girls, but what surprised Kit most wasn't the fact she was wearing clothes, but the fact that Dasha was an Leviathan Green. Kit thought to himself that it was probably best not to signal her over, the last he needed was The Obelisk females to know how big he was.

Moments later another Familiar figure stepped into sight, it was Former Elite, turned Slifer Slacker , Karan. He entered the room in a cutoff sleeveless Red Jacket, before moving towards Kit and Otonashi. Karan nonchalantly puts his arm around Kit.

"So , You're alive?...that's too bad, because had you croaked then the first to beat me in a very long time, wouldn't get his Ass kicked his first day back."

"Umm..." Kit started, as Karan cracked his knuckles."But why do you wanna lose infront of everyone again, Is it the thrill or ..."

"That's IT!" Karan swung at Kit, but Otonashi who now stood there seperating Kit and Karan, caught the fist as the Instructor walked in.

"Settle down , settle down, " He said softly , before motioning Karan and Otonashi to the front, with their Duel disks in hand. "Now before things escalate between you two fine gentlemen, I want you two to duel it out. Understood!" He said firmly.

"Yes , Mr. Misawa!" they both Shouted as their Duel disks clicked on and 4000 Each triggered in the main Hall.

"Oh and before I forget, the winner at the End will be a Ra Yellow, The loser will be the Slifer Red. Now Fight!" Mr. Misawa added with his usual charm. Mr Misawa was the head of the Ra Yellow house, as during his active years he was one of the Finest the Yellow had ever seen.

"You ready to lose , Slacker!" Otonashi shouted.

"After you Cowboy, " Karan retorted.

Karan Began , playing two face downs, and a Monster in attack mode(1600ATK). he ended his turn. Otonashi was up, "I first Activate the Field spell "Life on Mars", it gives all my monsters 100 ATK for every card in my hand. next I play two face downs and summon , Space Warrior The Mountain in defense mode(1000/2500)."

Karan and Otonashi continued back and forth often canceling out one anothers attacks. Karan was down to 3200 Life Points and Otonashi was down to 2500 Life Points after twenty minutes had elapsed.

Otonashi was ready to finish the duel, but he was distracted , he hadn't seen Roxxi in two days, he was worried, and off his A-game.

"First I syncro summon my monsters to Summon, Mars Special The Moon Lvl 7 , in Attack mode. Plus the 7 cards in my hand giving me , 4000ATK instead of 3300."

Karan chuckled, "so you gonna Attack?"

"NO!, I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT AGAIN!"

Karan was amused, but decided to steal the Roxxi's line, what she said spread across the school like a wildfire, it wasn't bad , just demeaning.

"So Oto, why do you only Use Banana Monsters , eh Space Cowboy? Hahahahahahah!"

Otonashi snapped activating Karan's Trap card, he was allowed to summon a monster with the Equal number of stars, as the Attacker.

He summoned his "King of the New Age , and equipped his two face downs to aid it, Otonashi in short had just attacked a monster with 6500 ATK, with his 4000ATK.

3200 : 0000

Karan had defeated Otonashi, and became a Ra Yellow, Otonashi looked shocked as Kit helped him up.

"No...I'm a S-Slifer slacker..."
Karan first looked exstatic , but then decided to Apoligize to Kit...and Otonashi for his Actions. Karan and Kit shook hands, agreeing to have a Rematch one day in the Future.

*Meanwhile*

*Beyond the Campus limits, Undisclosed Location.*

"Were you followed, ?"

"No, I don't think so.."

"You know, or you Think?" the male voice uttered.

"I know, Sir."

"Good, The remaining three are here too, Have you gained Muto's interest? "Yes my master. Good, Earn his trust, use your abilities if necessary, and gain his sincerest trust..."

"It'll be done my Lord, Muto will soon be a forgotten legacy, soon we will have our revenge."
