Chapter 20!

A/N: Thanks to Stardustwarrior and exleader75 for wanting to write the duel. Exleader75 will be writing it and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Warnings: N/A

Sorry for this being short, but it was hard to drag it on. I tried to fill in as many plot details as I can. I'm sorry if it still has some.

Yusei and Akiza were going just as they were told and go to the principal's office as soon as they went to school. Although Akiza's knees were looking better and she could walk okay, they were still hurting.

Akiza still was limping as they approached the bus to school.

"I sure hope that the school finds a way to protect me," Akiza said.

"They have to. Student safety should be #1 on their agenda."

"I don't know what to do," she said, "I can't defend myself and I feel terrible. I'm just a weak little girl."

Yusei hugged Akiza.

"You're not weak. You're you. A special, bright, beautiful girl that I love and care about."

Akiza smiled back and hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Yusei," she said.

They went to the school's secretary and she said it would be a few minutes.

When the principal was ready, she instructed them to go inside. They did as they were told.

The principal had a small, but decent sized office. He had two chairs for them to sit on. There was a window that showed the outside of the school. There were bookshelves, with, of course, books in it.

As Akiza and Yusei went to sit down, the principal asked, "So, what brings you two here today."

Akiza and Yusei told him about the incidents.

"And we want to be sure that Akiza gets to, somehow, be protected. I don't want this type of incident to happen again," Yusei said.

He was thinking of Martha as well.

The principal sat and thought for a moment.

"Well, we could have some sort of "body guard" for her," the principal suggested.

"Wouldn't that make me stick out more?" Akiza said.

"You'd be protected," the principal said.

"Would I have to pay for them? Plus, what would happen if they were sick?"

"Hmm," he said, "What if we put you in the Satellite classes?"

Akiza cringed at the thought.

She then remembered Yusei was there.

"Sorry Yusei," she said.

"It's alright," he said.

"I don't think so. They might try to do other things rather than hurt me," she said.

"Well, then what do you suppose," the principal asked.

"Well, I though that I could take the "normal" classes and then Akiza has company," Yusei said.

"This sounds like we're going back to the first plan," the principal said.

"Yeah, but, this way, I can look out for her."

"Yusei, that's no different. It seems to me that you just want to spend more time with her."

Yusei looked over at Akiza. He had an embarrassed look on his face and he was turning a little red. She gave him a smile.

"Well, for sure, you should have the teachers do more," Akiza said, "The teacher didn't even lead me to the nurse's office or ask if I was alright. That's discrimination."

"That is true and I will definitely have a meeting with all the teachers about that problem. Could this problem then be solved?" the principal asked.

"No, the kids are still liable to hurt me," Akiza said.

"Then, should we do a presentation with all the students," he asked.

"No. They won't listen," she replied.

"Well, could you take self-defense classes?"

"No, I don't think that it could work long-term. I could have multiple people on me and they could hurt me more Plus, I don't have much money."

Yusei jumped in.

"I didn't get to finish what I said. If I was her "body guard," then, she wouldn't have to pay for me."

"What if you're sick?"

"Then fine, get someone else," he said.

"What about costs?"

"Forget costs. The school should pay them. How much could it cost? Is someone's, potentially, life worth how ever much it costs for a body guard?"

"Yes, but Yusei, if I let you in, wouldn't all the other Satellite's want to be in too?"

"I say you let me in, due to behavior and grades. Sure, I don't get straight A's. I just got a C+ on my last test. However, I haven't been in fights or other violence, haven't done any drugs, my GPA's at about a 3.0. Seriously, I've worked hard. I think I deserve a chance."

"The other kids," he reminded them.

"Tell them that if they want to, they have to earn it like I did. Besides, over half have been in a fight, others have done drugs, and almost all don't care about school. Besides, wouldn't the school get more money for better test scores?"

The principal nodded.

Akiza smiled at him.

"Are you sure you want him as a "body guard?" the teacher asked Akiza.

"Yes," she said confidently, "He's strong. He cares about me. He likes me. He enjoys being with me. That makes me feel like he's deserving enough."

"Well, just to be sure, I'd like to have a test for you Yusei."

"Why? Is it a written test?"

"No, a dueling test. I want to be sure that you've learned enough about dueling, that you're ready for some of the "tougher classes" that the normal kids are offered. If you want to get to be her "body guard" and get to be in the "normal classes," you have to beat me."

"What if I lose?"

"Akiza will still be given a body guard, but it wouldn't be you. Plus, you'd have to stay in the Satellite classes for the rest of your high school career. I'll talk with the administrator to be sure this is okay."

He pushes a red button on his desk. A few minutes later, a voice calls.

"Principal Cynder! How many times have I told you not to call me while I'm taking a dump!"

Akiza and Yusei giggle.

"Sorry sir, I didn't know."

"Look at the information bar below the button."

It read, "Bathroom Break."

"Anyways, this better be good," the administrator said.

They explained the situation.

"I like it," he said, "It's fair to both parties."

"So, do we have a deal," the principal asked.

"We sure do," Akiza and Yusei said together.

They shake hands.

The principal, however, didn't realize that the administrator was still on the line. Apparently, the administrator didn't realize it either.

"I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny," he sang.

The three of them all tried to giggle quietly, as the administrator kept singing.
