SM High school far east branch….
"Well then, let's not forget Weevil when he returns to the main school. We wish you a safe passage and no future problems in the human world." Tristan announced in the hall room and everyone was screaming out 'summer vacation'. Since Yami was on a mission, Tristan was the head of the school and he having a damn fun time being in charge for once. But not everyone was enjoying their start of vacation.
Joey rolled his eyes, "Taylor get ahold of yourself." He mumbled.
"So…even in reality Yami is still the best…" Kaiba added. The gang was bored. It wasn't fun without Yugi and Yami. They all looked up in the sky when they heard loud rustle noises and a familiar silver-wings boy landed on the ground.
"Yo. Even though it's summer break, everyone seems to be low in spirits." Bakura chuckled with his hands shoved into his pocket.
"BAKURA!" Everyone announced.
Bakura pouted slightly, "Where is Yugi? I wanted to invite him to vacation with me, but he wasn't in his room." He said and looked confused with everyone gloomy expression on their faces, "Huh?"
"What an awfully familiar crow we have here." A confident voice spoke up, "What could you possibly want with my Yugi!"
Bakura turned around and raise his eyebrow high at the small boy in front of him. A sunny smile appeared on his face as he said, "So what brings an elementary school kid here?"
L smiled back, "Looks like this hulk has some resemblance of a vocabulary."
Sharp, fierce, electricity sparked between the two boys as they threw evil daggers at one and another. The far east big confrontation has begun. "Someone should go and stop this…." Joey whispered to his friends.
"HELL NO!" Everyone cried out.
Back at the Chinese branch, Yugi has encountered a….panda?
"Yo!" It waved. Yugi's eyes twitched in annoyance slightly as the Chinese students talked behind his back, "Impossible Yugi is the white crow!" Yugi tuned them out and stared at the talking panda.
"No matter how many times I think this through…I still can't believe it is talking…." Yugi muttered to himself.
The panda shook it head, "Oh no, this is my panda puppet." It announced and Yugi's jaw dropped.
"Roushi-sama, exactly what is going on?" Shuri asked.
"We'll talk about that later." The panda said, "Come, follow me. And the white crow as well."
Yugi blinked and pointed at himself, "Me?" Shuri glanced at Yugi with a curious look.
"Are you…." Shuri looked bothered, "Are you really the white crow?"
Yugi awkwardly nodded his head.
"Hurry, follow me." The panda shouted out from in front.
Shuri replied back quickly, "Y…yes."
Meanwhile, Yami was currently resting in his room. "What do you think? That guy from the far east school…can we trust him?" Jun asked.
Daichi shrugged, "Who knows, but we can't help it. It was Kotomi that let him in after all."
Yami had one leg over his other. His chin was currently resting on top of his hand, "Hey Yami, why did you become our ally?" Kotomi questioned with her fan flutter slightly. Yami remained silent and gazed at her, "Well…no matter the reason, we are thankful you are here." She explained.
Yami smirked, "And you? It looks to me like dominating the Chinese branch isn't the only thing on your mind." He teased.
Kotomi did not reply back and suddenly another panda bear walked in the room, "Yo." It greeted.
Yuugi could see an old building up ahead of the forest they were walking through. "It looks as though we have arrived." Shuri told Yuugi as they entered the building following behind the panda. Yugi was shocked when he saw Yami, Kotomi and her two followers were also inside.
"Oh, looks like your 'bodyguard' is missing." Kotomi smirked at Shuri.
"Kotomi, you bitch." Shuri hissed.
Yugi was walking toward Yami, "Yami, I have to talk to you."
"Yugi…" Yami looked at him, "You're in the way…stop coming to me." He said and his back was turned away from his little one. Yugi felt his heart broke.
"Poor thing." Kotomi giggled.
"So, it looks like we have all gathered." A wise old voice spoke up and a short old man with long white beard appeared in the room. He wore a long traditional Chinese red robe and carried a wooden walking stick beside him.
"ROSHI-SAMA!" The Chinese students greeted him.
Yugi scratched his head, "Umm…." He pointed to himself, "I'm here as a demon that had to repeat a year of school." He explained.
Roshi-sama pounced on Yugi giving the boy a big hug, "So that's it….are you alright?" The man asked. Shuri slapped the man on the back of the head.
"Shuri…why did you do that for?" Yugi questioned.
"That was acting. He acts that way when he gets excited. He will always do something perverted." Shuri whispered to the boy while Roshi-sama rubbed his poor head.
"Ahem…." Roshi-sama cleared his throat, "It was my fault for not seeing till now." He apologized and looked at the people in the room, "The traditions of this school show that the president represents of the choice of the students through their belief in the kirin. You should all understand that. But the limit has been met. We can't let this idea that war is right be passed down to the younger students."
Shuri nodded her head, "I understand, but what are we supposed to do instead?"
"Mount Hourai is where I saw the kirin-..." Roshi-sama declared and everyone was interested in the piece of news, "In my dream" He finished.
Yugi fell to the floor, his hope shattered, "Wah! In a dream…." He mumbled gloomily.
Shuri shook her head, "No, Roushi-sama's previous dreams have been 100% correct."
"So if we go there…." Yugi's eyes widen, "We can meet the kirin!" He cried out.
"Whoever finds it will get to be the next school president." Kotomi said.
Shuri looked troubled, "This could be true….but even if the kirin does exist and he is there. He may not appear before us." She announced.
"A rare item has the ability to call to another rare item." Roshi-sama looked at Yugi, "At that place, if the boy with white feathers calls to it, the kirin will definitely reveal itself."
Daichi stared at Yugi, "White feathers…..?"
"Impossible!" Jun exclaimed, "The creature of legend Hakuhou!"
"That boy….he is the Hakuhou…" Kotomi said.
"NOPE IMPOSSIBLE." Yami announced pointing at Yugi with an unimpressed face, "He is the type of person that scares things away from him. And the kirin will be the same result!" Yugi's jaw dropped.
Roshi-sama looked confuse, "What? What? I heard of you from the far east's principle." Roushi-sama begin, "You have the ability to break strong barriers, were bitten by a vampire and had the power to overcome and contain that being." Everyone was amazed on what they had heard from Roushi-sama on what the little boy could do.
"YOU ARE ALL GOING TO SEND ME OUT TO BE THE BAIT FOR THE KIRIN….?." Yugi gloomily voiced it out and he couldn't believe that he was sent here by the principal acting as bait.
"Well you could say that….." Roushi-sama answered and Yugi huddled to himself to the corner of the room. "We will be going in groups of four, to Mount Hourai."
Jun sighed, "Mount Hourai?"
"Another troublesome place…." Daichi muttered.
"Understood Roushi-sama." Kotomi spoke up, "I will be go along with these three people for my group." She sent a smile at Shuri's direction, "But does that group have enough members? Right Yami?" She snuggled closer to him.
Yami smirked back, "Looks like it." Yugi was feeling a little ticked off from Yami's action now.
"If we are allowed to return first we would have plenty of brilliant members." Shuri argued back.
Kotomi sneered, "That injured imbecile of a man?"
"DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT AN!" Yugi shouted back, a glare was forming on his face. Shuri was taken back by Yugi's defensive tone. "That and the kirin will definitely appear before me! Because the bait will have his will!" A finger was pointed toward Yami's direction, "PLUS YOU HAVE THAT PERVERTED CROW." Yami flinched slightly and frowned, "I WLL NOT LOSE!" Yugi stated with such determination, eyes locking with Yami.
"Now it is getting interesting." Roushi-sama said to himself.
Yami remained speechless, "Who the hell is An?" He thought with a grim smile.
Near the Chinese branch school the heavenly mount Hourai exists.
It is here that the kirin is said to live.
However, a person that travels with a halfhearted resolution to take on this challenge will not come back alive.
This is where the mountain god live, where the lovely god plays. A supreme garden of pleasure.
"Suzaku group, let's go to mount Hourai and look for the kirin!" Yugi announced through the speaker in high spirit. Gasps and mumbles filled the room.
"Mt. Hourai?"
"That dreaded place…..?"
Yugi grinned slyly, "No problem!" His voice suddenly lowered, "The truth is, I am the legendary hakuhou."
"HAKUHOU!"
"IS IT LUCK? WHERE IS THE PROOF?" Someone cried out.
"Look, white wings." Yugi smiled pointing at his tiny white wings in vain. The students all felt uneasy. "WAIT!" Yugi cried out when he realized he was losing attention from the students.
A hand was placed on Yugi's shoulder, "It is as he said, the kirin is at Mt Hourai. To put a stop to this continuous fight, why shouldn't we look for the kirin? Amongst you, is there anyone who will come with me?" Shuri spoke up and closed her eyes, "But….there is no guarantee that you will live."
Murmurs and whispers spread across the room and a cheerful voice spoke up, "Please let me come…."
"AN!" Yugi and Shuri both shouted.
Shuri shook her head, "Don't say stupid things. Mt Hourai isn't a place that an injured person like you can go."
"Such dangerous place is….that is…." An took a deep breath, "I want to be there to protect you, princess."
Shrui's face soften, "An." She whispered feeling a warmth loving feeling inside her.
An's face turned red when he realized what he had said before, "Tha…that is…because you are the leader of the Suzaku." He added and Yugi wanted to wacked that idiot on the head for saying that. "Please let me be your attendant!" He kneeled down in front of Shuri.
Shuri sighed, "Do as you please."
"Thank-you very much." An smiled in relief.
"One more person is needed…anyone willing to volunteer?" Everyone in the room all looked uneasy and scared.
"It's okay, the three of us will be fine." Yugi told Shuri.
"Can't help it."
Someone stepped inside the room, "If Shuri has An to protect her, then let me protect Hakuhou." The three looked at the new stranger.
The next day…..
"Looks like it is time…but the Suzaku aren't here yet, huh?" Roushi-sama stated.
"Sorry we are late." Shuri apologized as she and An appeared.
Yami looked at the two, "And where is Yugi?" He questioned.
An indicated behind him with his thumb and Yami's eyes followed it ,"Yugi is over there."
"Let me hold them!"
"I'm fine!"
Yami's eyes widen, "How can I let a little boy carry all this heavy luggage?" Yugi and the mystery guy finally reached to the others.
"Who are you?" Yami frowned at the stranger.
"Hello. I am Rin." Rin greeted with a smile. He had long platinum blond hair with light lavender eyes.
Roushi-sama raised an eyebrow, "We have a student that flashy?"
Shuri shrugged her shoulder, "So he is a falcon…."
Rin chuckled scratching his head, "Sorry I never really came to school. Occasionally I would come to just show my face." He grinned and pulled Yugi in his arms, "But I love this boy so much." He exclaimed with a blushing Yugi struggling between the hold.
Yugi stopped struggling when a brilliant idea came to his mind, "That's right, Rin is pretty and nice." He commented and hugged Rin back, "Who can compare to him?" His eyes slowly peeked open to see Yami's reaction.
"Let's get moving." Yami's back was already turned as he told his group. Yugi's puffed his cheek in anger, "That idiot!" He thought grimly.
Beautiful big red wings erupted from Shuri's back and Yugi and An stared at it with amazement, "Let us be off as well." She said and her pet phoenix took a hold of An's shoulder with its claws and flew off.
"WHAT ABOUT ME?" Yugi yelled out.
"If you are hakuhou, fly by yourself!" Shuri shouted back.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Yugi squeaked when he felt someone lift him up from the ground.
"Then I shall carry you." Rin grinned at the boy with his large bright orange and yellowish wings out. "Don't struggle. Hold onto me tighter." Rin instructed the boy who immediately stops his wriggling.
Roushi-sama sighed lovingly, "In any area there are men who have a weak spot for beautiful people." He told Yami who was frowning beside him.
Kotomi bowed down at her senior, "Well then Roushi sama, we will be going." She said hiding a secret smile behind her fan, "Even I have a plan for later."
"HEY LOOK, WE CAN SEE MT HOURAI!" Yugi's eyes brighten up looking at the view, "Wow, a huge mountain! It feels like Mt Fuju doesn't even compare."
"Yeah, it is said that a normal human can't return alive." Rin told the boy in his arms.
"WHA!" Yugi gasped and then realized why the students didn't want to join along the mission.
Rin smiled uneasily, "Truth is, I'm nervous. But, I believe that I'll see something that you will see once in a lifetime."
Yugi cocked his head slightly to the side, "By the way, what does the kirin look like?" He asked curiously.
"I heard he has golden platinum hair." Rinc chirped happily and Yugi's stare locked onto Rin's hair colour, "His elegance is splendid. I wonder if kirin is compatible with hakuhou?" Rin chuckled and nuzzled his face against Yugi's playfully.
"HE? WHAT? NO WAY! WHAT IF RIN IS THE KIRIN?" Yugi thought hard and lightly pushed Rin's face away from him, "Even his name sounds perfect…"
"Looks like Yugi are coming." Shuri told An and watched as Rin slowly catching up to them.
An smiled in relief, "It looks…it looks like the princess and Kotomi don't have to hurt each other. This is the best path…."
Shur's face softens and sadness was hidden in her eyes, "We were happy in the past…truly good friends." She smiled to herself as she remembers her childhood past, "North leader Genbu and South leader Suzaku. If something happened to one the other stepped in to help. A new age was coming from it."
"Princess, you don't want to fight Kotomi do you?" An asked in a desperate tone, "It's not too late, you can still reconsider!"
Shuri's shook her head avoiding An's eyes, "That is all in the past now…she Kotomi has changed." Shuri started to fly downward.
"PRINCESS!" An cried out but was ignored by Shuri.
"Rin, Yugi, we are landing there!" Shuri yelled out to the two. The four landed onto an old building located in the middle of the mountain.
"Wow. Why is there such a fantastic building this deep in the mountain?" Yugi asked.
"People who come here to study for a long time build them." Rin explained.
Shuri took off her coat, "Today, as it is we will stay here."
Yugi looked confuse and lost, "Ah! But what about looking for kirin?"
"The kirin won't be the only thing that comes." Shuri replied looking very serious, "The Genbu will appear when the target appears. That is what the real fighting will begin. So don't catch off guard."
"It's okay. I will protect Yugi." Rin grinned when he noticed Yugi's sad face, "It might be best if we let him rest a little now…"
Shuri nodded her head, "Ok then." She watched as Rin and Yugi left the room.
"Sorry Rin for making you worry…." Yugi apologized.
"The kirin is also good tempered." Rin spoke up and Yugi turned to look at him weirdly, "In front of the one he loves he can become brave." And Rin closed the distance between the two.
At the other side of the old building was the Genbu's team. Kotomi flopped herself on the couch, "Ha~ I am so exhausted, let us rest here today." She murmured tiredly.
"Hey, in this timing situation we shouldn't be staying here…" Yami explained, "The kirin will show himself at Yugi's location, so we should be watching him." Yami frowned slightly when Daichi and Jun burst into laughter behind him.
Kotomi smirked, "The Kakuhou will come to us."
Yami blinked his eyes at her statement, "What?"
"That Rin guy." Kotomi grinned and Yami's eyes widen, "He is my subordinate."
