Here we go, Chapter four! This continues on from the last chapter where the four enters an impromptu tournament for the ticket to Yuzu's concert. I will not be focusing on the duels that occur so I will only show a glimpse into what their final action was during that battle.

Also when I list their life points at the end, it is slowly decreasing until it is lower than 1000 but higher than zero. This shows some form of progression from the tournament. And though the four are pros at dueling, they still manage to lose some life to their opponents due to the fact they are trying to fight tooth and nail for the prize.

But that is enough rambling from me, please enjoy this chapter.

It was morning and the four began making their way back to The Nexus Theatre for the tournament. "Are you all ready?" Yugi asked. "Of course, revised my deck four times and thought of every possible thing that can go wrong." Judai replied. "Our deck is perfect the way it is. Why do we need to look over it?" Yuma asked. "Careful Yuma, arrogance tends to lead to defeat." Yusei answered with a serious tone. "I was just joking. I looked over my deck several times before I went to sleep, it's ready for anything. You really think I would risk this mission?" Yuma replied. "You have been known to make… rash decisions at times..." Yugi replied. "Look, you will all see a different side of me today. If I'm dueling for the sake of my friends… I become a dueling genius." Yuma said. "We'll see about that buddy. Anyway, who wants some food before we hit the scene, it'll be on me." Judai replied. "Free burritos?" Yugi asked. "Naturally." Judai answered. "Sure, but let's hurry." Yusei said as the four quickly began heading to their destination.

Upon arriving at the theatre, the four went inside and began waiting for their match to come around. And when it came around, the marathon began, the following is the final blow of each of those matches.

"I make a direct attack with Elemental Hero Sparkman! Spark Flash!" Judai yelled as his monster zapped the last of his opponent's life points away. "Gotcha! That was fun duel!" Judai said as he did his signature salute. (Judai's Life Points in the end: 3000)

"Speed Warrior attacks Master and Beast! During the battle phase Speed Warrior's attack doubles until the end of the battle phase! Go! Sonic Edge!" Yusei yelled as his monster destroyed the opposition, giving Yusei the win. "Alright, who's next…?" Yusei thought. (Yusei's Life Points in the end: 2400)

"I activate Gagaga Magician's effect, I can change its level from one to eight. Gagaga Magician's level is one! Next I activate Baby Tiragon's effect, by using one overlay, I can allow one level one monster to make a direct attack. I choose the now level one Gagaga Magician! Go! Gagaga Magic!" Yuma shouted as his monster brought him victory. "That was pretty tough, but I'm not going to stop." Yuma thought. (Yuma's Life Points in the end: 1200)

"I activate the magic card Black Twin Burst! If Black Magician and Black Magician Girl are on my field, the attack of Dark Magician gains the attack of Black Magician Girl until the end of the turn! Black Magician! Attack Metal Armored Bug! Black Twin Burst!" Yugi yelled as a dark explosion sealed his victory. "One more until the semi-finals… Things are going to be tricky…" Yugi thought, leaving the stage. (Yugi's Life Points at the End: 400)

Outside… "Cazzo, questo sta diventando fastidioso." Judai said in Italian. "What?" Yuma asked looking at the man. "I said this is getting annoying in Italian." Judai explained. "We only have one more match to go through before the semi-finals. If we can make it there, then our mission is complete." Yugi replied before his stomach grumbled. "Um... You want to go get something to eat?" Judai asked, feeling his own stomach grumble. "Our match might come up while we're gone, it's best if we don't leave." Yusei replied, trying to ignore his growling stomach. "I got just the thing!" Yuma said as he remember something. Yuma reached inside his vest and pulled out something wrapped in a cloth. "Duel meals! Kotori made me two more in case I get extra hungry during the day. We can each have one!" Yuma said as he unwrapped the cloth, revealing four rice balls. "That woman is a God send, and really good cook." Judai said as he took one. "Remind me to thank her when I get the chance." Yugi commented as he took one. "As much as I don't want to, I need my head to not focus on my stomach." Yusei said as he took one. "For Yuya!" Yuma said as he raised his rice ball into the air. "For Yuya!" The other three repeated before they all took a bite of their meal.

Later that Afternoon...

"Another successful duel..." Yuya thought as he entered his condo. Putting away everything he received from his manager, Yuya saw the old photo and his expression softened. "Yuzu, where ever you are, I'm making people smile like you wanted me to... I hope you're smiling too..." Yuya whispered before setting down the framed photo. Yuya then went onto his computer and began checking any messages he might have missed while away. There was four in particular that caught his attention, each one being from his fellow duelists of the Yugioh Dueling League. "They have a gift for me? Could be a prank... I have not forgiven Judai for the elaborate tomato pelting trap... But Yusei also sent the same email, so it can't be a plot to humiliate me..." Yuya thought.

So against that nagging voice in the back of his head, Yuya ventured to the location disclosed in the email, which was the League's Head Quarters (Which is basically the second floor of the Mutou Arcade and Game Store). After a good twenty minutes of walking, Yuya found himself in the lounge of the building and saw Yugi, Judai, Yusei, and Yuma sitting down, all beat up and exhausted. "What happened to you guys?" Yuya asked as he walked up to the four. "We were in a tournament." Judai answered. "Did you guys actually have a problem dealing with the competition?" Yuya asked. "You don't know the half of it..." Yusei replied. "Anyway, you guys have something to give me?" Yuya questioned, going back to the reason he showed up. "Right, take this." Yuma said as he gave Yuya the ticket. "A ticket? For what exactly?" Yuya asked, completely clueless. "After what you told us yesterday, we began thinking of ways to help you with this problem. And we found her, Hiragi Yuzu. That ticket is the key to seeing her." Yugi replied.

Yuya looked at the four in disbelief, then he stared at the ticket in his hand. "How did you find her?" Yuya asked. "It was more luck than anything else. We happen to turn on the TV to see a news story about the girl, she is going to have a concert here in the Capital in about two weeks. So we rushed to the Nexus Theatre to get you a ticket. There was a lot of people there and we wouldn't have been able to get close if it wasn't for the manager didn't show up with a proposition." Yugi began, retelling the entire experience. "So we had to go through a tournament today with the prize being the ticket. It was long, tedious, but fun. You would be surprised how many times we were pushed to the corner, but we came out on top." Judai continued. "When all four of us made it to the semi-finals, we relaxed knowing our goal was accomplished. However that did not stop us from going all out against each other." Yusei continued. "Then Yugi won the whole bout and got the ticket. One hell of a story right?" Yuma finished.

Yuya didn't know how to feel right then and there, but he felt grateful for having friends that looked after him. "Thank you for telling me this! But I need to go!" Yuya thanked, standing up and got ready to run. "Hold it right there Romeo. We know what you're thinking, but the performance isn't until two weeks later." Judai said as he grabbed Yuya. "I can't wait that long! I need to see her now!" Yuya shouted, struggling to free himself from Judai's grasp. "First of all, you don't know where she is right now. Second, even if you did, you will most likely get stopped and detained by security. And third, our efforts are just going to go to waste if you just jump the gun. It will just be easier to wait for the day to come." Yusei explained. With that reasoning, Yuya stopped trying to run and sat back down on his chair. "Okay, you convinced me... But what do I do?" Yuya asked. "Just start preparing yourself for the performance. Also you should check the news more often, it will save you some trouble." Yuma replied. "I'll do that, you guys have my thanks. I won't let your efforts go to waste." Yuya said as he walked out.

With that said, Yuya began steeling himself for his reunion with his long lost friend. And hopefully bring closure to the relationship that he shares with the girl. Two weeks had never gone by faster for the boy as the fated day dawned over the Capital...

And that is Chapter four. Next we will see our pink haired deuteragonist and the true start of this fan fiction.

Also I will be updating the description of the fan fiction as the story continue on. So the next time you see this story, you will see Yuzu H. in the character tags. Eventually, the description will truly describe just what this fan fiction entails. So look forward to that.

But now let me give you another piece of Sanctuary...

Naturally, their are leaders to rule over the many people of Sanctuary. Leaders who are only wise and knowledgeable, but also kind and understanding. These Leaders are known as the Lords and Ladies of Sanctuary. And each Lord or Lady of Sanctuary has their own kingdom where they, together, watch over the peace of the world. While most of them are of royal birth, a few of the Lords and Ladies have been hand selected to lead their own kingdoms. However, one of those few was not chosen to lead a sole kingdom. But rather, he was chosen to be the leader of all Sanctuary due to his kind heart, unwavering principles, unmatched strength, great leadership, and most of all, his powerful resolve which burned like a great bonfire. And with those qualities, he leads Sanctuary with the help of all of his closest friends and allies. Pulling the world into a new era where there is no need for despair, no need for gods, and no need for sacrifices.

That was quite lengthy but that is one fact behind the mysterious planet. Also could you tell who the Leader of all Sanctuary is? Well the answer, hopefully, will be covered in a future fan fiction one day.

Anyway, I've kept you here long enough. Please leave a review on the chapter or the fiction in general it will help me in my quest to improve my writing. And if you are still interested, I will see you in the next chapter.

Until then... T1
