Chapter 35: Going Back Home

In the evening, the three apprentices were walking in the hallway, with Kaiba in the front, "Okay kids, I have a little surprise for your hard work for these three months." Kaiba said as they made it to the door.

Kaiba opened the door and his three apprentices opened their mouths and lets out a gasp. The room had Duel Monster cards in cases, "As you can see, this room contains every Duel Monster cards ever produced!"

"Awesome, we've hit the mother load!" Kagome praised

"I guess that hard work really does pay off!" Yusuke added

Catherine looks up at Kaiba, "Are all of these cards for us?" she asked, pointing at the cards.

Kaiba smiled at the pony-tailed girl, "Yes, this is a going away present for you three." He replied

Yusuke and Kagome jolted into the room, with Catherine walking behind them and scanned all over the room to pick which cards for them to use in their Decks.

For moments later, the three apprentices really cleaned the whole room of the cards and placed them in briefcase (AN: Like Kaiba's briefcase of Duel Monster Cards)

"Okay kids, the limo will be ready in 20 minutes, so get your bags and be ready in that time," Kaiba said

Yusuke's face turned pale as Kaiba mentioned that he'll be going home. Kagome looked at her cousin, who had sadness and anger in his brown eyes and felt sorry for him, because she had the same thing that happened to her.

-In the white room-

Sartorious flipped one of his tarot cards open, 'I think it's time to make my appearance.' He thought

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Syrus was riding on his red bike in the sidewalk of Tokyo. Just then, he heard some ruckus on his right. He looked to see a blonde hair boy being thrown out at a local ramen diner, 'Hey I know him,' he thought as he made his way to the fallen boy, "Reginald, what are you doing here!?!" he asked

"He was just leaving, Sy," came a voice mixed with anger.

Syrus turned to see a chef, carrying a knife and walking towards the blonde

"Good morning, Mr. Yukimura," Syrus greeted.

Mr. Yukimura nodded to the blunette's greeting and glared at Reginald, who was on the ground and pointed the tip of the blade at Reginald's face, "If I see you anywhere within a touching range of my daughter, I swear I'll skin you alive!" he threatened, shaking the knife.

Reginald got on his feet and as fast as he could, "What happened?" Syrus asked

"Well, that boy was talking to get to Keiko, but I've been trying to tell him to get lost," Mr. Yukimura replied, with his arms crossed, "This has been happened ever since Yusuke broke up with her, because of that boy."

Syrus knew about that and realized it was a misunderstanding, "Oh speaking of Yusuke, he's coming back today!" he said, "So Keiko could talk some sense into him."

"That's good. Hopefully, Yusuke could scare that boy off!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

After packing their things, Yusuke, Kagome and Catherine walked out of their rooms, after changing into new clothing. Yusuke was wearing a white shirt, a pair of jeans, white sneakers and a denim jacket. Kagome was wearing a black shirt, black mini skirt, black boots and covered with a black trench coat. Catherine was wearing a red shirt, a pair of jeans and red sneakers. The three downstairs apprentices where the meet with Kaiba and Roland by the door.

"Okay children, I won't be going be joining you three, going home, because of some business at KaibaCorp," Kaiba said, "Plus, as for the three Blue Eyes, you are not to allow to use them in any of them, including White Dragon Ritual and Paladin of White Dragon, in the entrance exams. Understand?"

The three apprentices nodded in reply, "Yes, sir!" they said, in unison

Roland walked the three apprentices to the limo and they got inside, while putting Yusuke's bag, Kagome's suitcase and luggage and Catherine's suitcase and back-bag in the truck. The limo drove off from the manor and towards the open road.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Syrus walked up the stairs and his feet, led himself to Keiko's room and stopped at the door. Syrus knocked on the door, "Keiko, it's me, Syrus." He said.

"Come in, Sy," came a cracked up voice

Syrus opened the door, slowly and found Keiko, at her desk, writing something on a piece of paper. The brunette lets out a growl from her throat as she crumbled the paper and threw it at a nearby trash can, where lots of paper balls were thrown.

Syrus knew that Keiko was in her room all day and didn't know what his best friend was doing. Syrus walked over to Keiko, who was getting another piece of paper and a pencil ready and started writing, "Hey Keiko, what are you doing?" he asked

"I'm trying to write an apology letter for Yusuke," Keiko replied, continuing writing and not looking at Syrus, "You know that he's coming back today."

Syrus blinked twice, "Is that what you've been doing all day?" he asked

"That and trying to get that pest Reginald away from me!" Keiko growled, in a venom tone, "That Slime…" she muttered, "It's partly his fault that this happened."

"Why don't you tell him yourself?" Syrus asked

"Because I know that he wouldn't talk to me, Syrus," Keiko replied, in a sad tone, "If had just pushed Reginald away, when he kissed me then Yusuke and I would still be together."

"Is there anything I could do to help?" Syrus asked

Keiko gave her best friend a smile, "No thanks, Sy," she said, with glee, "I think it would be best that I do it alone, since I'm the one, who damaged the relationship, so I'm the one, who has to fix it."

"Okay, if you're sure," Syrus turned around and walked out the door.

Syrus walked out of the diner and got onto his bike and drove off, hoping that his friends would find peace with each other.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The limo parked by the apartment complex. Roland got out of the limo and walked over to the back and opened it for Yusuke and Kagome walking out of the limo, "It was nice knowing you two, blokes!" Catherine said.

"The same with me," Yusuke said.

"Yeah," Kagome said, with venom.

Roland took out Yusuke and Kagome's things out of the trunk and give them to the owners, "Well Roland, it's been real," Kagome said

"Thanks for everything," Yusuke added.

Roland bowed, "It was a pleasure serving you two," he said then walked into the limo and drove off.

Yusuke placed his bag, behind him and because he realized it, a blur came and knocked him down to the ground, "Ouch!"

Yusuke rubbed his head as he feels something wrapped down his neck and noticed a bush of braids, "K…Kira!"

Kira pulled up to meet with his older brother, "Hey bro!" she greeted with glee.

"Kira…get off now!" Yusuke demanded, glaring at his twin and couldn't bear her weight any longer. Kagome giggled at her cousins' act as Kira got off of Yusuke.

Yusuke got onto his feet and picked up his bag as Kira went over to Kagome, hugging her, "Hey Kagome!" Kira greeted

Kagome patted the braided girl's back in response to the hug.

"Hey girls, let's get a move on!" Yusuke made his way inside his apartment complex, with Kagome and Kira following.
