Chapter 26!
A/N: I'm trying to get back on a "normal" schedule and I thank anyone who's staying with this story!
Now that Yusei had won his duel, it was time for him to join the "regular" part of school. We start the last school day before Yusei joins Akiza and the rest of the other "regular" students.
"Well, how does it feel to know it's the last day of Satellite classes?" Akiza asked.
"Well, it feels great, because I'm happy to know that I'll be by your side for the rest of year," Yusei said as they walked down the hallway.
Akiza blushed at him.
"I can't believe this is really happening. Now, I'll get to be with Yusei all day and all night. It seems like we might really be meant for one another," Akiza thought.
When they reached his class, Akiza and him shared a hug. Yusei went in and Akiza reported to the office for her "bodyguard of the day." It was a tall muscular man with light brown hair. As they walked through the halls, everyone stayed out of her way as she went from class to class.
An hour before school was to end, they had announced a school wide assembly in the gymnasium. Everyone went in and was confused by what was going on. Akiza sat in the lower right, of one of the seating areas, and noticed Yusei sitting on stage. There was a podium and the principal walked up.
The crowd hushed.
"Now, I know you all are wondering why you are here. Well, starting next week, the man sitting next to me, Mr. Yusei Fudo will be joining your group."
At first the crowd gasped. Then, some kids yelled questions, as to why he would be joining them.
"I can tell you are confused as to why he is joining the "normal" classes, despite being from the Satellite. Mr. Fudo has done somethings, in this school, that no one that has come from that area has done before. He has maintained above a 3.0 for all of his high school career, has had almost no discipline problems, has never gotten into fights or drugs, and has proven to be an incredible duelist. I for one have seen his dueling skills hands on."
The crowd turned quiet.
"While I know this is an almost historic mark for our school, I want to give a warning to anyone who might try to ruin it. First, anyone who is seen or reported, student or faculty, treating him differently will be expelled or removed from their job. Some people still have harsh feelings towards the people from that area, but that's no excuse to not treat them like a human being. Second, you may not try to attack him any way. Otherwise, you will be punished not only due to the attack, but also for treating him as a inferior."
The principal stopped for a moment.
"If any other person from the Satellite does just a well as he's done, they will also be allowed to join him. However, at this moment, that is not the case. This has been approved by members of the school board and administration. Our school needs to go in the right direction and this could be the starting point. So, on Monday, I want you to treat this young man, like a regular student. He's just as good of a person as many of you all. You are all dismissed."
The crowd rushed to get out as fast as they could.
Akiza, meanwhile, waited until the crowd thinned out a bit. She then caught Yusei as he walked off stage.
"Yusei," she called to him.
She wrapped him in a hug.
"I'm so excited," she said.
"I am too Akiza, but the most important thing is that you'll be safe," Yusei replied.
"I can see why you want to protect her," the principal said as he walked over.
Yusei and Akiza shook his hand.
"Thanks so much for letting me do this. You don't know how much this means to me," Yusei said.
"I understand. Safety is the most important at our school."
Akiza then saw a clock on the gym wall.
"Yusei! We have to get going," Akiza said.
"Alright, thanks again sir," Yusei said.
The principal waved to them as they headed for the bus.
On Monday, Yusei got to wear the typical male uniform for the school. He put it on and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Oh Yusei, you look so handsome," Martha said.
"Well, it's what all the other boys wear," he said.
"But all the other boys aren't as cute as you," Akiza said.
"Yeck! More love," Leo said as he looked through his school bag.
Luna walked up to them.
"I hope you both enjoy your day," Luna said as she wrapped her arms around Akiza's legs.
"Well, it shouldn't be too tough," Yusei said, "It's pretty much the same classes, just with more kids in it."
Yusei checked his watch and they went out to the bus. They got on it and rode to school.
As Yusei walked with Akiza around school, a few kids gave them dirty looks. However, most kids didn't really say or do anything. The teachers all shook his hand and gave him a friendly welcome.
Yusei and Akiza walked back on the bus and met their first confrontation of the day.
There were no empty seats to sit in, so Yusei and Akiza tried to sit across from one another. Akiza had found a place, but Yusei wasn't so lucky.
Yusei tried to sit down across from her, but the young man, with spiky black hair, wouldn't let him. He kept trying to push Yusei out of his seat with his backpack.
"What's the deal?" Yusei asked, "How come you won't let me sit here?"
"Because, you get to be promoted to the "normal" classes and all the other Satellites are stuck in the bottom."
"Yeah, but I have a good track record. I don't get into fights, do my best in school, and don't do drugs."
"Oh, you don't get into fights?" the boy asked, "It's probably due to you being a wimp."
"I'm no wimp," Yusei said.
"Yeah right, I'm sure I probably have bigger arm muscles that you."
He rolled up his sleeve and showed his muscle. It wasn't very big and all fat.
Yusei did the same. Akiza looked over and noticed that Yusei wasn't much better. His arm was only fat as well. However, he was just barely bigger, due to being older than the other kid.
"I win," Yusei said firmly, "And remember what the principal said, "If you get in a fight with me, you will be suspended."
The kid rolled his eyes and let Yusei in.
When they got home, Akiza walked up to Yusei and kept feeling his upper arm.
"Akiza, what are you doing?" Yusei asked.
"Oh, just feeling how soft your arms are," she said.
"Akiza," Yusei stressed, "I don't have any muscle. We don't even own a bench press."
"Yeah, but still... you run a lot! So, you could try do a triathlon!"
Yusei rolled his eyes.
"I can't swim," Yusei countered, trying to get off the subject.
"Well, I can help you."
"You can't swim well either."
"I could read a book and just stay one lesson ahead of you."
"What if you don't understand how to do a lesson?"
"Shut up."
They laughed and went inside.
When Leo and Luna came home, Yusei told them all about the incident on the bus.
"Hey Yusei, since you showed that bully who's boss, could you do that for me?" Leo asked.
"Hold on a minute Leo," Yusei said, "I don't fight and how could I help you? We go to different schools."
"Just take a picture of your arm will be enough," he said.
"How would that help?"
"Simple, if a bully wants to fight me, I just show him a picture of your lean arm. When he sees that your older, I tell him that this older guy will beat him up after school, and he'll run away."
"More like he'll beat you up and you'll run away," Luna said.
"I would not run away! I'm Leo! I'm a mean, green, fighting machine!"
Leo made some punching motions.
He then lost his balance and falls over.
"Wow, I'm so afraid! It's the green haired Leo," Luna said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah! Just watch me the next time someone gets upset at me," he said.
"Leo," Akiza called as she walked up to him.
"How come there's pee in front of the toilet seat? I just stepped in it."
"Uh," Leo said.
Leo quickly ran around Akiza, into his room, and locked the door.
"Wow, he really is a fighting machine," Yusei said.
They all laughed.
