A/N: I edited the last chapter for the ending. Please check that out before you read this one. Hopefully, the transition from last chapter to this chapter makes little bit more sense.
-Chapter 7 Tutoring-
"Hmmmm…" Ms. Sato hummed to herself as she looked over Yusuke's extra homework.
Yusuke looked nervous as he sweated. "Yes, yes…"
"Hmmmm…OK, all of them are acceptable."
Yusuke gasped and then jumped in joy as the sound of victory song from Final Fantasy 7 echoed in the background.
"But…" The song stopped as Yusuke fell to the floor before he stood back up.
"Even though you proved that you can work hard, all these homework won't be enough to improve your grade. We need to get you a tutor." Ms. Sato said determinedly.
"Tutor!?" Yusuke gasped, causing her to stare at him. "Ah! I mean, tutoring is good I guess. Ah ha ha ha…"
"Do not worry, Mr. Kagami. This is for your own good. I will contact you after I find you a well suitable tutor for you. You are dismissed."
"Thanks! I mean, thank you very much, Ms. Sato." Yusuke said more politely as he bowed down to her. He rushed out of her office.
"So, you're getting a tutor, huh?" Haruka said.
"Yeah, it really sucks." Yusuke moaned, pouting.
"Look at the bright side, Yusuke. Tutoring is very helpful for everyone. It will be beneficial for you." Haruka said, encouraging him.
"I guess. I hope my tutor is some cool guy who likes to chill or a very beautiful lady! Either one will be nice…" PONK! Yusuke was punch on the noggin by Haruka herself.
Oh Yusuke…you don't understand how girls feel, don't you?
Later that day, Yusuke was busy working at his parents' restaurant. While he was working, the phone ranged.
"Hey! Can someone get that phone?" The father asked while cooking.
"I will get it." The mother stated as she goes up to the phone. "Hello, this is Kagami's residence. May I take your order?"
Yusuke eavesdropped on the conversation as he worked.
"I see. Thank you very much, Ms. Sato." His mother said before putting the phone done, finishing the call. "Yusuke, good news! Ms. Sato found a perfect tutor for you."
"Oh really?" Yusuke asked, looking a bit excited. "Who is it?"
"Well, your tutor is…your sister!"
"Say whaaaat!?"
The next day, it was the weekend. Yusuke was staying around at the library as he waited for his tutor.
"So, your tutor is this sister of yours?" His mirror-self asked, standing next to him while Yusuke was sitting.
"Yeah, apparently. I mean, I know she is smart, but I never expected her to be my tutor. In fact, I have not been talking with her lately…"
"I see that you're early. I hope you won't talk to yourself too much." A voice said.
Yusuke turned around to see a girl. She had light cyan hair, covering the right side of her face. She wore white with blue stripes uniform with a different school emblem, compared to Yusuke's uniform.
"Hey, sis! What's up." Yusuke said.
"Let's begin, shall we…" She said calmly, yet strictly as she sat on the chair across from him.
This is Yumi Kagami. As you all know by now, she is Yusuke's sister, age 13. She is very studious person, well-educated, and just plain busy, which is why she never shows up until this chapter. Although, she is also kind of…anti-social.
Yumi gave a stoic glare at yours truly.
"So, where do we start, sis?" Yusuke asked.
"We'll start with the subject that you are having the most troubles with. Let's begin with Mathematics."
Yusuke moaned. "Do we have to?"
"It is for your own good."
She tutored her nonchalant, older brother for many hours. By the time they finished for the day, Yusuke was tired.
"My Egyptian God, that was tough!" Yusuke moaned.
"That will be it for today. We will continue this tomorrow." She stated.
"What!? How long would you tutor me for?" Yusuke asked.
"About two weeks. You do have your Math, Japanese, History, and English examinations in two weeks, so I have to get you up to speed. Instead of working part job at our parents' restaurant and grandpa's antics store, maybe you would have more time to study, but most likely, you will practice in your Dueling skills over studying."
"Wow, sis, you really can read my mind…" Yusuke said, grinning.
"Whatever. Let's go home." She said as she packed up her backpack.
They head out to the library when a tall boy came in. He wore a black and yellow school uniform. He had spiky black hair and dark brown eyes. As they walked passing by, Yumi turned to her side as if she wanted to say to the guy. Yusuke noticed this and said, "Hey, sis. You're coming?"
"Um, yes." She replied.
One week has passed. Yusuke already feel pooped.
"Grrrrrrrrggnnnnnnhhh…" Yusuke moaned.
"You've been working real hard." Haruko commented, giggling.
"Yeah. Man, my sister is strict like bull!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"She is doing it for your own good. At least, you should feel appreciate for what she's doing for you."
"Yeah…I guess, but I have a strange feeling about her." Yusuke said as he munched his rice ball
"What do you mean?"
"Well, every time we end the day, she always watches that guy who comes in the library whenever we leave."
Haruka stared at him for a moment until she giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"This is just my guess, but maybe your sister has a crush on that guy."
"Really, do you think so?" Yusuke asked dumb folded.
"Well, I would say that is my girl's intuition."
"Really? I thought your intuition is when you will get your next donut." Yusuke chuckled, until he received a punch on the noggin.
One more day had passed and Saturday came. Usually, this was a time where everyone takes a break, but as for Yusuke, it was another tutoring day. Yusuke groaned as he await for his sister to arrive as usual.
"You seem to be bored. Don't you appreciate your sister truthfully?" His mirror-self questioned.
"I do, but why do I have to be tutored on a weekend?" Yusuke complained as he checked time. "Hmmm, strange. My sister is kind of late. 5 minutes have passed, so she should've been here by now."
Suddenly, his Smartphone buzzed. He checked it, revealing to be a new message received. He checked it and read it to be from his sister.
"Meet me at the cafe. We will tutor there." He read before closing the app. "That's weird."
"What is?" His mirror-self asked.
"She wants to tutor me at a different place. She usually do it here at the library where there is much quieter. I wonder why…."
Yusuke shrugged, heading to the cafe as he was told. He arrived to the café shortly, noticing his sister. She wore differently now. She was now wearing a pink shirt with matching skirt and red bow.
"Aaahh, you're my sister, right?" Yusuke asked, staring at her sister in very fashionable clothes.
She gave him a stoic glare. "And, you're my dumb brother, correct?"
Yusuke just laughed to himself. "Sorry, but it's just that I never seen you wear like that!"
"Just sit down, and let's begin. The faster we finish, the sooner I don't have to deal with you anymore." She said.
Yusuke sat down, taking out his notes as Yumi was staring at something.
"OK. So, where were we last time?" Yusuke asked. He noticed his sister staring in space.
"Hey, sis!" He snapped her out of her thought. "Are you like home?"
"Ah, of course! Anyway, we were at…" She got distracted again. Yusuke raised an eyebrow on one eye, turning around to see what she was staring at.
He noticed three guys sitting at other table, chatting and enjoying each other. One of them looked very familiar.
"Oh I get it…." Yusuke thought, turning back to his sister. "Hey sis, you want to talk with that guy, don't you?"
"What!?" She shouted. Everyone looked at her as she sat down slowly. The guys at the other table just ignored her and went back into their conversations.
"Don't worry, sis. If you want to get along with him, just go up to him and ask." Yusuke whispered.
"I…I don't know what you are talking about." She crossed her arms.
"Don't worry, just ask and be brave."
Yumi continued to deny his advice, but quickly her expression changed as she sighed. "Do you really think I can ask him?"
"Of course! You helped me a lot with this whole tutoring stuff, now it is time for me to help you." Yusuke said, giving her a thumb up.
"Yusuke…" She said softly. "Well, for a dumb brother, you do make a good argument. I guess I will try…this once."
"That a spirit! Now, go get him!" Yusuke exclaimed, pointing his finger out as warplanes flied and tank roamed through the field in the background.
As Yumi got up and about to walk over there, another girl approached the same table. The male student with the brown, spiky hair got up and kissed the girl. Yumi felt her heart cracked.
Even Yusuke was awestruck. "Sis…I'm sorry."
"Sorry…no, don't be. This was my miscalculation. We will continue our tutoring some other day." Yumi said, packing up her stuff and leaving the scene quickly.
"Wait, Yumi!" Yusuke exclaimed, but she already ran away. "Sis…"
That same night, for once, the Kagami residence was eating dinner together. The restaurant was closed for today. Everyone, including grandpa was at present except for Yumi.
"Yumi! Dinner is ready!" Their mother yelled to upstairs where her room was. There was no reply.
"Don't worry, honey. She is a busy girl. She's probably still studying." The father stated.
"I guess so. I will save some of this for her to eat later." The mother wrapped the foods and put them in the fridge. Yusuke, however, felt worried for Yumi since he had a gut feeling for why she won't come out of her room.
"Yumi…" He thought.
In her room, Yumi hugged tightly on her pillow as he wept in tear.
The next day, Yusuke woke up and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Good morning." He yawned.
"Good morning, Yusuke." The mother greeted.
"Morning, Mom. Say, where's Dad and grandpa?" I asked.
"They went to fishing."
"Oh, OK. What about Yumi?"
"Oh, she still has not come down yet. I am guess she's still sleeping, but I am worried. She hasn't even eat her dinner yet."
"What?" Yusuke looked worried as he looked up.
"Hey, Yusuke. Could you give her, well, now breakfast? I warmed the dinner up." The mother asked.
"Sure, Mom. I will do that." Yusuke said, holding the tray and going upstairs.
He brought the tray, laid it down first, and then knocked on her door. "Yo, sis! I brought breakfast, which was a dinner, but it is warmed up."
"Just leave it there. I'll eat it later." She said in a depressed mood.
"Hey, sis. Are you alright? I hope this isn't about…yesterday."
"…What do you care? Why don't you just go outside or something?" She said in a depressed, yet near angry tone.
Yusuke silently went downstairs, still feeling worried. After he ate his breakfast, Yusuke decided to meet with Haruka.
He met Haruka at the public park. Yusuke discussed with her about his sister.
"Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that Yusuke." Haruka said, feeling sorry.
"Naw, it's alright, but still, I just wonder what I can do for my sis." Yusuke said, looking down sadly. "She helped me with tutoring and all, and I helped her by encouraging her to talk with the guy she possibly likes, but it didn't go all so well."
"Well, maybe…I can talk with her." Haruka suggested.
"Really?" He asked.
"Of course! She is a girl, and sometimes girls will have problem like this. Maybe she's more comfortable to talk with girls around her age, although she is 13 and I'm 15. Let's go to your house!" Haruka said determinedly.
Yusuke sniffed and smiled. "Yeah! Let's do this thing!"
They headed quickly to his place. Yusuke's mother greeted Haruka and she greeted back, but also explained them that Yumi left out of the house.
"What!? She left?" Yusuke exclaimed.
"She said she wanted to go outside, but didn't tell where she was going. She must be going to the library since she had backpack with her before she left." His mother explained.
"Let's go, Yusuke!" Haruka said.
"Yeah!" He nodded as they ran out to the library.
-Yumi's POV-
Yumi mopped around the library, still being depressed about yesterday.
"I was such an idiot to even ask him. I should've known a guy like him already has…someone else." She moaned.
Out of coincidence, a wind blew through the opened window as one card blew into the library. I slowly fell on the table in front of her. She looked up, noticing the card in front of her.
"What's this?" She asked, touching the card and picking it up to see the face side.
"What kind of card is this? A new edition or something." She thought, but shrugged. "Why would I even ask such question? I am not that interested in Dueling….."
Her eyes turned blank as dark aura enveloped her.
-Yusuke's POV-
They arrived at the library. They searched around for her and in about 5 minutes, they couldn't find her.
"Did you found her, Haruka?"
"No, I can't. I even checked the girls' rest room, but she wasn't there either."
"Well, she definitely wasn't at the boys' rest room." Yusuke stated. "Dang it! She should be here. Maybe she left…"
"Let's ask the librarian." Haruka advised him.
"Good idea!"
They go up to the library help desk and asked one of the librarians. "Oh yes! I did saw her momentarily ago."
"Really? She left? Where did she go?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, when I noticed her, she was seemed to be very quiet, and went to left from here."
"Thank you, maim." Yusuke said, and then turned to Haruka. "She must have headed to the café."
"Then, let's go there next!"
They headed to the café, but while they were heading there, they heard some kind of yelling and screaming.
"What was that!?" Haruka exclaimed.
"Come on! She must be in danger!" Yusuke shouted.
They arrived to the café, but surprisingly, they didn't find her to be in harm, but in opposite, she was doing the harm.
"Please, help!" The boy squeaked as he was held by Yumi on his neck collar.
"Yumi!" Yusuke yelled.
Yumi looked at him with a death-like stare.
"What's wrong with her!?" Haruka asked surprisingly.
"I don't know, but…" Yusuke said, walking toward her. "Yumi, stop this! You're hurting that dude!"
Did I mention that Yusuke's younger sister, Yumi is not just a studious student, but also very strong karate student with red belt? No…well, OK, but yeah, now you know.
"Help, man!" The guy exclaimed horrified.
"Stay out of this!" Yumi yelled as aura emanated from her. Her roar caused the panicking boy to faint out of fear.
"Yusuke! This energy…she is possessed by a Mirror monster!" His mirror-self exclaimed.
"Really?! Not her!" Yusuke yelled to him, although to Haruka's eye, she saw him yelling to an empty space.
"Yusuke! What are you talking to yourself for!?" She yelled, but he didn't pay attention to her.
"I believe that just like before, you must Duel your sister to free her."
"Well, OK!" Yusuke said, nodding to his mirror-self. "Hey, sis! Let's Duel! If I win, you leave that guy alone!"
Yumi let go of the boy as she approached Yusuke. She activated her D-Ring, which was in purple, transforming into a purple Duel Disk.
"Let's do this thing!" Her older brother shouted his motto excitedly, activating his blue D- Ring as it transformed into his blue Duel Disk.
"Searching Duelist nearby. Duelist Found. D-Wave Field, activate!" Both Duel Disks said in a computerized voice. "Dueling Commence!"
"DUEL!"
Yusuke vs. Yumi: 4000 LPs
"I will go first!" Yusuke claimed, drawing his five cards. "I Normal Summon Tobi the Flute Komuso!" This one was a man wearing a straw bascinet and wore traditional Japanese black uniform that monks wear as he carried a clear, crystal flute with both his hands.
Tobi the Flute Komuso-Level 4, LIGHT, Spellcaster/Effect, 1300 ATK, 1000 DEF
"Then, I throw down a face down and end my turn!" Yusuke finished his turn.
"My turn, I draw!" Yumi drew her card strongly. "I normal summon Conscholar Quizzo Crater!"
This monster was shaped of a golden cup with the red letter "Q" printed in the center and decorated with ruby, sapphire, and emerald around it.
Conscholar Quizzo Crater-Level 1, LIGHT, Fairy/Effect, 0 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Then, I discard one card from my hand to Special Summon Conscholar Mascot Leo!" She exclaimed as another monster appeared in blazing fire. A cartoon bipedal lion appeared in a basketball ball player uniform, white fur and a red mane that blazes like fire, and large anime eyes. It looked similar to Alex from Madagascar movie series.
Conscholar Mascot Leo-Level 5, FIRE, Beast-Warrior/Tuner, 1800 ATK, 1500 DEF.
"Now, I tune my Level 1 Quizzo Crater with Mascot Leo!" Her Level 5 tuner summoned a fireball and used it like a basketball. It dribbled with it several times as it jumped high into the air before transforming into 5 green rings for Quizzo Crater to go through.
"Here it comes!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Could this be!?" Haruka wondered out loud.
"Show the spirit of educational facility! Synchro Summon! Arise! Level 6! Conscholar Ursa Majorsubject!"
A large brown bear, in a red and black high school boy uniform appeared. It also wore a big backpack, a white crescent on the forehead, and carried a large mechanical pencil for its weapon. It roared with 2200 ATK, but increased suddenly to 2700.
Conscholar Ursa Majorsubject- Level 6, EARTH, Beast/Synchro, 2200 ATK, 1800 DEF.
"Wait! Hold did its ATK increased to 2700!?" Haruka exclaimed.
"Thanks to Quizzo Crater's monster effect, if it was used as a material for Conscholar Synchro monster, that monster gains additional 500 ATK!" Yumi cried. "I initiate the Battle Phase! My monster will attack your monster!"
Ursa Majorsubject roared at Yusuke's monster as it strike down with its mechanical pencil.
