Cat: Hey, here's the sixth episode in Yuzu's POV. I couldn't actually do much, in this duel, so sorry if you don't like it much...

Rena: Please review!

Cat: Off to write episode 7 now...

Rena: This story is in Yuzu's POV. Please give me some artistic licence. If i put some stuff that isn't in the anime in here, don't flame. There would be no point in reading, if it was just the anime in words.

Chapter 6- The Innocent Toy: Death-Toy Scissor Bear!

"This is fusion summon!" My dad and I exclaim, transfixed on the duel. This was a first. Yuya had his two Pendulum monsters out and his favourite Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and he was in a jam.

"I heard they started teaching it at LDS," my dad folded his arms. "Could it really be that he's a student there?"

No, that wasn't possible. He hadn't even enrolled there yet. He said so. Even if he had, he would be too young for the school to teach him rare and expensive moves. That card was probably worth more than my whole deck put together. I remembered a really old fusion card, Elemental Hero Flame Wing Man, sold for ten million U.S dollars a couple of weeks before.

"Yuya!" I cried, as the terrifying teddy hit the pink hippo and sent them both for a dive in a pond of funny light brown liquid. I was relieved to see that he was ok (I knew he wasn't the most confident swimmer) even though he was completely drenched in (what I presume) apple juice.

My stomach lurched as the teddy dragged the hippo up, out of the pond and ate it like Yuya eats his bento at school. Seriously, was this kid a sadist? The hippo was only being added as an equip card, did we need the whole eating thing?

"An attack of 3000 attack points!" I cried, as the creepy bear grew in size, to tower over everything on the duel field.

"It's greater than Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon's!" Tatsuya pointed out, looking terrified.

"Des-Toy Scissor Bear, what a terrifying card!" my father gasped. Wow, was he scared too? So much for adult supervision. Looks like I was going to have to comfort everyone because of their fear of this monster.

Then, when Yuya reversed his trap card with Chronomancy Magician, Sora began wooing over the effect. Did he let Yuya activate it on purpose? Apparently not, when he uses it as a fluke to activate another trap. The same one as before.

Wow, this kid was good. He knew exactly how to counter the effects of monsters that had only been seen… Once by the public.

"Magician of Chronomancy's effect can only be used once per turn," I muttered, worrying that Yuya was going to have a little tag-along-student for the rest of his life.

Yuya was losing his cool, which was evident by the ungraceful backwards flying dragon and Yuya, hitting the ground and rolling slightly. And now, the dragon's points were down to nine hundred.

"Don't tell me you're all out of options, shishou," the boy taunted. "If you are, I'm really disappointed."

Yuya was taking the bait. He was overlooking obvious stuff because this kid was rattling him.

"Yuya…" I whispered. This wasn't a serious duel, why was I getting so worked up over it?

Now, because of his spell card, Sora announced that he could attack three times with his fusion monster because he would have three equipped monsters. Firstly, he had Yuya's hippo equipped, meaning he could only attack once. But, if he destroys another of Yuya's monsters, he would get another equip and be able to attack again.

"Is this the power of fusion monsters?" my dad mused. I would have to call my mum and tell her to hide the bank cards, so he doesn't go out and try buy the rare and expensive cards.

"Is Yuya-nii-chan going to lose?" Ayu asked me, her eyes full of wonder.

"It'll be fine, it's Yuya after all!" I assured her. We had to believe in Yuya, even if he was in a jam. He was thinking hard, more than he had ever done before in school. "He won't give up on this!"

Because he is way too stubborn, I sighed inwardly.

Then, it became a race for the action card. The only one around that could save Yuya. But then Sora jumps in front and takes it, even though he didn't need it. Yep, a sadist alright. Or was he just getting revenge for Yuya doing it to him earlier? Karma.

It turned out that this blue-haired kid was ten times more agile than we thought, as he leapt from roofs of houses and on top of the large lollipops, sticking out of the ground. His whole balancing on the monsters he had done the last time he wanted a card was a hoax. He knew what he was doing. Heck, he was as fast and graceful as a ninja.

He wasn't just duelling, he was playing mind games.

"Wow," I muttered. I had done training to catch Action cards for years and I don't think that I would ever be that fast. I couldn't help feeling impressed, even though I could sense Yuya being slightly put off by us only goggling at Sora's moves.

Seconds later, Odd-Eyes was sent for a swim, which he didn't resurface from. Yuya had his back to us but I could just see him pulling his goggles over his eyes. Yuya was a sensitive soul and Sora just knew how to push his buttons. That was it, I was going to give this kid a serious talking too, once this duel was over. No-one made Yuya cry on my watch.

"That card represents what gives Yuya the courage to press onward," I look at my goggled-friend.

"Yuya-oniichan's heart got damaged as well…" Little Tatsuya whispered. They all looked just as worried about Yuya as I was. That was the good thing about our school. We may be few in numbers and not be the best duelists, but we all had each other's backs and we worried for each other. We were like a gigantic family, cheesy as it sounds.

"Don't lose, Yuya-nii-chan!" Futoshi screamed, hurting my ears.

"Yuya…" I stared at him intently.

"You sound like an anxious mother," my dad chuckled, watching me.

"Shut up! I'm worried about him!" I hissed, digging my elbow into his stomach.

Then, came the laughing. My dad and I turned to see Yuya laughing, like normal. Honestly, what were we worrying about? This is Yuya, we're talking about!

He placed his goggles back, still laughing. Maybe he thought we wouldn't notice, or that we were too far away to see, but I saw the remnants of tears clogging the sides of his eyes.

The bear continued fishing for the drowning dragon. However, after many attempts, it gave up, looking even more irritated than it already looked. Huh? Then, where was Odd-Eyes?

"Huh?" Sora cocked his head. "Why can't I find Odd-Eyes?"

"The destroyed Odd-Eyes isn't in the graveyard…" Yuya still had his back to us, as he said that.

"Isn't that cheating?" I whispered to my dad, who had his face pressed up against the glass, looking for the reason Odd-Eyes wasn't in the grave. Yuya wasn't a cheat but, seriously, where was that dragon?

"Odd-Eyes is in my Extra Deck!" Yuya announced, turning to face the younger boy, his confident look returned. What? Odd-Eyes didn't have that effect! At least, not since I last checked.

"When did it move there?" I demanded, wanting an explanation that I knew I would probably never receive in the near future. Knowing him, he probably didn't know himself.

In the end, I got an explanation from Sora (of all people). Destroyed Pendulum monsters went to the Extra Deck, not the Graveyard and because of this, it couldn't be equipped. And so, Sora couldn't attack again.

Now it was Yuya's turn. At first, I thought he was bluffing when he started talking like a ringmaster. Then, I realised. He wasn't kidding. He was about to Pendulum Summon again!

"Firstly, I'll be introducing you to a new Pendulum monster!" Yuya announced. "Level two, Cheer Mole!"

A shy, cute, pink mole appeared in a cheerleading uniform. Ok, I've seen weirder but really, Yuya? A cheerleading mole? The mole buried itself in a hole in the floor.

And then, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, again. So, it appears you could also summon them from your extra deck. Thanks for clearing that up, Yuya.

"Now, a simple arithmetic question!" he turned to us (mainly the younger ones) and grinned. "What's 3000 take away 600?"

"2400!" the kids screamed in delight, knowing what was coming.

"Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon had 2500 attack points!" I pointed out, smiling. "You can defeat Des-Toy Scissor Bear!"

Yuya nodded and returned to the duel.

Sora pointed out that, even if his monster was destroyed, he still wouldn't lose. Yuya pulled a face, proving that Sora was going down.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please pay attention! Cheer Mole is about to dance for us!" Yuya announced, as the shy creature appeared from out of her hole and started a little cheerleading dance. Apparently, the cute dance powered up a monster by 1000 attack points.

"Ok everyone! With me!" Yuya cheered, after he pointed out that, when battling a level 5 monster, the damage is doubled when attacking with Odd-Eyes.

"Battle!" We all cry, as the dragon lumbers forward and destroys the freaky bear, sending Sora into a heap of cream on the Action Field.

It felt like a large weight had been lifted off my heart and I could breathe again, when Sora's life hit zero with a squeak. I breathed a sigh of relief as the children celebrated and my dad stared on in amazement.

The area vanished, leaving the familiar boring walls of the school. Sora sat in the corner, his shoulders shaking. At first, I thought he was crying. Yuya strolled over to him, to see if he was ok, only to find him laughing.

"That was awesome, Yuya!" he cheered.

"Why are you using my first name?" Yuya complained.

"If I can't be your apprentice, I'll just be your friend!" the boy waved his arms enthusiastically.

The duel had barely ended thirty seconds before, and my dad was already enrolling Sora into the school. "I'll go get the paperwork!" he announced, and then was gone.

Not being a Leo Duel School student, Yuya asked where Sora had learned to Fusion summon. He replied that that was totally normal where he came from before. Where did he come from, then? Obviously, nowhere in this city.

"Awww, don't worry about the details," Sora smiled, as Yuya pulled an 'I'm-totally-confused' face. "We're friends now!"

Wouldn't that be a bigger reason to tell us? I wondered, strolling over with the younger students.

We all laughed as Yuya began chasing the boy around, annoyed that they were already on a first-name basis.

"Don't just decide that! I won't accept this!" Yuya wailed.
