A/N: so, this was not planed at all. It just kinda popped into my head after researching the new anime 'Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu' and seeing some characters from the rest of the franchise, who had painted nails. (interesting premise, awesome character designs.) consider this a bonus chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: you might end up wondering where Yuri's counterparts are; the answer lies in my other drabble fic 'The Year in Between' chapter 'The Soul Rooms'.
Dennis watched in slight confusion and shock as Yuri angrily grumbled. The orange haired boy couldn't make out what his friend was saying but by the grouchy and thoroughly ticked off look on Yuri's face, that was probably for the best.
But the thing that baffled Dennis the most was what Yuri was doing. He was sitting on the couch, in the 'You Show duel school' break room, painting his fingernails blue.
"Yuri…" Dennis began, "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" came the snapped reply.
"…" Dennis sighed and walked behind Yuri. He leaned his arms on the couch so he could look over Yuri's left shoulder. "Let me rephrase that. Why are you painting your nails?"
"Because I am angry." Yuri growled.
"I can see that… but what does that have to do with your nails?"
"I am not the only one in Yuya's body."
"Huh?" Dennis arched his eyebrow in confusion. "are you… implying you're angry at one of your counterparts?"
Yuri's expression darkened and he opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the sound of a little girl.
"Yuri Onii-chan!" she rushed in with a smile. "I found it!" she held up a small pink box triumphantly.
Yuri's face went from royally ticked off to sweet and pleasant in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you, Ayu." He smiled as the little girl sat next to him and opened the box.
Inside the box was a little girls manicure kit, different colored nail polishes, and even special brushes and pens for drawing on the nails.
"Which one do you want?" Ayu asked cheerfully.
"Do you have a pen in yellow?" Yuri asked with equal cheer and a shiver of absolute dread ran down Dennis's spine. A certain Blue and yellow haired boy came to his mind and he was pretty sure he saw where this was going.
"Yuri…" Dennis waited for his friend to face him. "What are you planning on writing on your nails?"
"Fusion." A wicked but furious grin split across Yuri's face's as he said this.
"I was afraid of that…" Dennis backed away from the other boy. "Does Yuya know what you're up to?"
"Nope!" Yuri switched back to a cheerful smile as he returned his attention back to Ayu (who had missed Yuri's freighting grin and was eagerly telling him how to use the nail pen).
"… Shouldn't you get his permission first before doing something like this?" Dennis sighed.
"Oh, Yuya Onii-chan won't mind!" Ayu chirped as she handed Yuri the yellow nail polish pen. "Yuya Onii-chan is used to wearing stage make up and one time, he let Ayu paint his nails!"
"See? Yuya will not mind at all." Yuri hummed as he began to write the kanji for 'Fusion' on his left-hand finger nails.
"… The nail polish? Probably not… but I have a feeling he won't be happy with you when Yugo see's what you've done."
"He will manage." Yuri replied nonchalantly.
"…" Dennis was quiet for a moment, then, "I can't talk you out of this, can I?" it was more of a statement then a question.
"Nope!" Yuri cheerfully popped the 'p' sound for emphases.
"Well, here's to hopping the Sakaki house is still standing tomorrow…"Dennis sighed again and made his way to the door. "See you later, Yuri. Try not to cause to much trouble…"
"I shall make no promises." Yuri lifted his hand to examine it.
Dennis shook his head and made his way to the principal's office. He wanted to hurry up and see what Sensei wanted so he could return to the safety of Heartland city before Yuya, Yuto, and, especially, Yugo found out what Yuri was up to.
~Omaki~
"Yuya, I am done. You can have control back." Yuri spoke after Ayu had left the room. He quickly turned the Vision Bracelet off and then slipped his hands behind his back so Yuya wouldn't notice them right away.
"Alright." Came the ethereal reply from inside Yugo's Soul Room. Yuri blinked, his eyes changing from pink to red, as Yuya retook control of his body. However, instead of Yuri's ethereal form appearing next to him like usual, he felt Yuri enter into his Soul Room.
"Yuri feels unexpectedly happy and that worries me." Yuto's ethereal form appeared next to Yuya.
"I agree…" Yuya mumbled suspiciously.
"Stupid jerk is hiding, huh?" Yugo faded into view on Yuya's other side.
"Yugo…" Yuto and Yuya groaned in unison, both giving their synchro counterpart a flat look
"What? It's not just my fault! He's to bla…me… to… what's all that stuff?" Yugo trailed off as he noticed the mess of nail polish bottles and manicure supplies. "And why does it smell funny?"
"Hm? Oh that's nail… polish…" Yuya reached out to grab one of the small nail polish bottles and finally saw his blue and yellow painted nails. A defining silence over took the three as they read the kanji repeated on each, and every, nail.
"He didn't…" Yuto began as a bad feeling washed over him.
"…" Yuya lifted both hands up and took a closer look at them. "He did…"
"YUUUURRRRRRIIIIII!" Yugo's enraged scream vibrated throughout Yuya's body and soul and the poor boy realized that this argument was no were near over. It had only just begun.
A/N: I can totally see Yuya playing dress up with Ayu... and i can see Yuri having a tea party with her...
