Authors Note:

Time for a Yusuke and Zane bonding chapter, and it will be a short one since there is no duel. In this Yusuke will be a mix of Atticus and Zane, his jokey side from Atticus and his serious side from Zane.

Time to answer the reviews:

Yacristo: I do use the concepts in the manga since Aster only using Destiny Heroes would be boring, so why not spice it up, the Masked Heroes seem extremely cool and would fit into the story and giving Jaden only his specific Fusion Hero monsters from the Anime would be hellish and unfair to him. The things I won't be doing are something like Light and Darkness Dragon, Tragodia and the planets (Even after introducing Terra Firma).

It was a week after the defeat of Tania, the 3rd Shadow Rider. While she wasn't as imposing as Nightshroud or terrifying like Camula she was still a very capable duelist, even almost defeating Bastion in a duel. But something was going through Bastion's head the entire week that he couldn't stop thinking about Tania, which resulted in him downing Chumley's dad's hot sauce.

Zane leaned on the wall outside of the infirmary, waiting for his green haired best friend, Yusuke Fujiwara. After two years of him missing his two best friends it was nice to see one of them again, walking around, having conversations or just hanging out.

After he woke up, he needed to stay in bed so he could regain all of his energy, and now today, he was allowed to walk around, but not over do it like running. Which was a breath of fresh air as he couldn't anymore see his best friend in pain like that.

While he was happy that Yusuke was all fine and well, he couldn't help but feel sad for Alexis since like Yusuke, her brother was gone, almost like Yusuke, but he knew that someday they will get him back. One day…

His thoughts were cut when he heard the door opening and from what he can see is his best friend that he had to fight against a Shadow Rider, Yusuke Fujiwara, with an Honest card in his deck box like it always was.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Zane," said Yusuke, "They wanted to do final check ups if I am fully able to go out of bed." Yusuke was around Zane's height, wearing the same uniform as The Kaiser of Duel Academy. His hair was a slightly darker shade of green that went all over the place. His eyes were a lighter shade of purple, and they were both as serious as Zane's, but with much more of a gentle tone. He wore a yellow deck box on his belt to store his Lightsworms and his ace monster, Honest. His Clear deck mysteriously disappeared when Zane defeated Nightshroud, but his jacket, shirt and pants were around his arms so he could place it in his wardrobe later, as they were all cleaned after his duel with Zane.

Zane only looked at him, "Don't worry, Yusuke, I was only waiting around 5 minutes so I didn't wait too long." He walked in front of Yusuke with a small smile on his face which was rare to see unless you were his best friend or brother. "Now, shall we go and catch up with everything?"

Yusuke nodded, "Sure, Zane, I want to know what happened." Yusuke said as both he and Zane began walking to the exit of Duel Academy.

Zane explained everything. From the search team to find him, Atticus, some group of students by the name of Barians and more, to the more forgettable second year which the only notable part of it was that he dueled Czar from North Academy like the first year, to the start of his third year when he and Alexis began hanging out by the lighthouse, just like he did with Yusuke and Atticus, to his younger brother Syrus joining the year while becoming friends with a certain Slifer Red, which he made a comment that he doesn't know anything about romance, to dueling that Slifer Red, to him and Syrus dueling in an expulsion duel, which Yusuke did a double take on, to him meeting Honest and made a new friendship with him, to the Slifer Red dueling at the School Duel and lost to the representative of North Academy, which was now a student here, and finally finished off with his duel against Nightshroud, which for some reason to Yusuke, sounded familiar.

Normally it would have taken them around 5 to 10 minutes to exit Duel Academy, but now they were taking their time to catch up, having conversations with each other and more. It was a nice walk and a nice feeling that Zane didn't really feel again up to his duel against that Slifer Red.

"Wow, that…was a mouthful," said Yusuke as he couldn't believe half of the things that happened in just one year.

"Tell me about it," said Zane, "I still can't believe that a 11 year old girl snuck up on this island just so she could get close to me."

"And just when I thought Atticus had the most amount of fangirls," commented Yusuke as Zane looked at him.

"Don't you dare lie to me, I saw half of the female body swooning at a picture of the back of your head."

"At least I didn't get my front door filled with chocolate kisses during Valentine's day."

"At least I didn't see them copying your deck style or a way to negate it so they could get with you if you lost a duel."

Both The Emperor and The Kaiser of Duel Academy glared at each other right before they smiled at each other.

"It's good that I get to still hang out with you, Zane." said Yusuke as Zane frowned.

"Yeah…I just wished the same thing could be said about Atticus." he said Yusuke tried to cheer up his best friend.

"Hey, come on, man. Don't put Atticus down like that." started Yusuke, "Sure he isn't stronger than us, but he didn't get the title of 'The Car Of Duel Academy' for sitting on a boat and playing on a guitar."

Zane nodded, "I guess you are right," he then looked ahead and Yusuke could tell that he was annoyed already, an added perk for being friends with him for almost a decade, "Oh god, not him."

Yusuke looked at him, confused, "Who are you talking about?" He looked at the person Zane was glaring at and he too was annoyed by him, "Oh, him." he said with annoyance in his voice.

The person that both of them were looking at with annoyance was the third year Obelisk Blue student that lost to Jaden for the 'heart' of Alexis Rhodes, which for some reason made Yusuke slightly jealous, Harrington Rosewood.

In their honest opinion, they really disliked him. To his douchey behavior, to him treating women like property, to him acting like he was tough shit because he is 'on par' with Zane, which was the hardest he and his friends ever laughed, and that he was an Obelisk Blue, but easily losing to the Slifer Red they were talking about, and how much of a rich snob he was.

But still, they had to at least act nice to him so nothing bad could happen. Yusuke put the nicest smile he could muster at the Obelisk Blue while Zane removed the glare and stayed with his neutral face.

Harrington walked over with a smug look on his face, "Hello Zane and hello-" his eyes widened as he saw Yusuke Fujiwara next to Zane, as his eyes turned into a glare, "Oh, hello Yusuke."

Yusuke sighed, already knowing what was about to happen, "Hello, Harrington. How are you?" he asked in the nicest tone he could manage.

"Spare me the pleasantries, I know what you will do!" two of the three Emperors of Duel Academy internally groaned, already knowing what he was going on about, "And by that I mean you are trying to get all of your fangirls back, aren't you?!"

Yusuke looked at him, "Harrington, with all due minimal respect I have for you, that isn't why I came back. In fact, only Atticus really liked it."

"Nice excuse, Yusuke, but you know that won't fool me! And by that I mean, you are lying your ass off!" Harrington loudly proclaimed.

Zane only looked at him, "Harrington, please stop talking or I swear on Obelisk, I will harm you." he said, truthfully.

Harrington merely scoffed, "I really don't think you can do that! And by that I mean, my parents will sue your ass!"

"Like that can change his mind." deadpanned Yusuke, as he knew his best friend would throw hands with him, hell he even said that before the school duel.

"Shut up! I don't even see why women are even interested in you!" Harrington yelled.

"Maybe because I don't treat women like objects?"

"Or that he actually cares about other people?" both Yusuke and Zane said one after the other.

"Yeah, like that matte-" Harrington tried to speak as he was interrupted by a certain brunette.

"Hey, Kaiser! Hey, Harrington! Hey…Yusuke? Wait, aren't you supposed to be in a hospital bed?" asked Jaden as he greeted all of them with a smile on his face as he walked towards them.

Yusuke blinked, "I was released just today. Who are you if you don't mind me asking?" he asked, not in a disrespectful way, but in a way that showed that he was confused, but to be fair even if it was in a disrespectful way he wouldn't have noticed.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, didn't I?" he laughed as scratched the back of his head, "I am Jaden Yuki! The Future King Of Games!" He proudly exclaimed as he looked at the green haired Obelisk Blue, "By the way, sweet clothes man!" He complimented the clothes on Yusuke's arm.

"Why thank you, Jaden," Yusuke smiled, but Harrington was a little ticked off seeing him, of all people here, the one that stole Alexis' heart away from him!

"Oi, what are you doing here, Jaden?! Trying to rub it in that you are Alexis' fiancee?!" yelled Harrington as Yusuke's eyes widened. He was the one that defeated him in a duel?

"Oh no, I was just making my way towards the Eggwich." he said truthfully.

"Sure you were! And by what I mean is that I don't believe you!" he yelled.

And then an one-sided argument was made with Harrington yelling at Jaden with Jaden trying to diffuse the situation by saying it wasn't that serious, Yusuke walked towards Zane, who was silent the entire time, "Is he really the person you respect the most? Even more than your brother?"

Zane looked at him, "Trust me, when you see him duel, you will understand where I am going with. In fact he is one of the three people to get me excited when I duel."

Yusuke was shocked by the words of his best friend. He was one of them who gets excited when he duels? It didn't take a rocket scientist to tell who the other two were, hell one of them was standing in front of him. So to hear him consider him as on par with them in achievement. He then looked at him as he wanted to see if he really was one of them.

"-Seriously how did I lose to you!? You don't know what a fiancee is, don't you?!" yelled Harrington as Yusuke did a double take on, with Zane having his neutral face on the entire time.

"Of course I do! It's a friend!" said Jaden as Harrington's jaw dropped, Yusuke facepalmed and Zane had his face the entire time while at the same time thinking, "I regret telling it. I regret telling it. I regret telling it."

Yusuke looked at his best friend, who just nodded, already answering his question. He sighed as he walked towards Jaden, a meter away from Harrington.

Before Harrington could yell at him more, his stomach was hit by Yusuke, "Jaden, I want to tell you that definition of a fiancee is incorrect."

"Really? What is it then?" he asked.

Yusuke smiled, "We'll tell you when you are older."

"But you are only two years old-"

"We'll tell you when you are older." said Zane as he made a sign to tell Jaden that there is no room for an argument right now.

Jaden sighed as he walked away, "Why does everyone keep telling me that?"

After the blow to the stomach, Harrington smirked, "Heh. His knowledge of romance is the same as your knowledge of cooking." Yusuke's eyes widened, "And by that I mean that you are shit at cooki-" he was promptly knocked out by Yusuke by a single punch on the head.

Both he and Zane walked away as fast as possible towards the Eggwich, not wanting to go to detention, not after the kitchen incident. "Damn. I didn't even think you had it in you to do that."

"He deserved it." Yusuke said simply as Zane nodded, that the bastard needed a good kick in the head, or more accurately, a punch to the nogging.

"Still, didn't think you had it in you." Yusuke just shrugged his shoulders.

After a few minutes of walking and talking about the so-called Fun Gang, they decided to go and have a sandwich. Both of them heard that someone by the name of Cal Kolter will open a hot dog stand there next year, so Yusuke is getting excited about that in his next year since he is still a junior.

When they walked in the Card Shop they saw Syrus and Chazz yelling at each other, Chumley in the background just in case things get bad and Bastion sitting on a table, with an Eggwich in his hands, still sad about Tania.

"Stop calling me that!" yelled Syrus.

"What, short!? Well you deserved to be called that you midget!" yelled Chazz as an anime style lightning appeared between them.

"I don't know why Jay hangs out with you since you are nothing but a jerk!"

"At least I have the decency not to rely on him, you nincompoop!"

"At least I am nice to more than 2 people!"

"At least I am not in my brother's shadow! Seriously if I was Zane I would be ashamed that you are my brother!"

"If I was Jay, I would be ashamed that you are my friend!"

Zane sighed as Yusuke looked at him, "Is…this a common occurrence?" he asked.

"More than you think, I am always there to stop them from fighting." answered Chumley who was behind him and startled the Emperor of Duel Academy, "Oh, I am Chumley Huffington by the way." he reached out his hand to which Yusuke took it.

"Yusuke Fujiwara, but I have to ask, why do they fight?" he asked as both the seniors shrugged their shoulders.

"I have no idea, they just started an argument about how both of them are annoying and ever since then, they have been at each other's throats." Chumley answered.

"Not to mention they do this every day other than when a Shadow Rider is here." said Zane as he looked at Yusuke.

"Then why do they hang out?" Yusuke asked.

"Mainly because of Jaden." both of them answered.

Yusuke thought about it, but it wouldn't hurt to try and become friends with them, "Um, hello?" Both of the Slifer Reds turned around as Syrus recognized him.

"Hey, Yusuke! Remember me?" asked Syrus as Yusuke looked at him with a smile much more gentler than from his own brother.

"Of course, Syrus, I wouldn't be surprised if you forgot about me." said Yusuke as Syrus gasped a little.

"Forgot? How can I? You were like the brother I never had!" Syrus then thought of what he said as he looked at his older brother, "Sorry, Zane."

"Don't worry about it," said the older Truesdale brother, with a slightly colder tone that only he knew. Syrus beeped a little.

Chazz walked towards Yusuke as it was his turn to introduce himself, "Hello, I am Chazz Princeton, but you can call me The Chazz." he said confidently as Yusuke shook his head.

"No, sorry but no, that sounds way too corny." he said as Chazz dropped his head in shame as Syrus laughed.

"Hah, not so funny when people make fun of you, huh Princeton?!" Chazz looked at the bluenette.

"Oh you are dead, Truesdale! You hear me, dead!" Chazz jumped on Syrus as then another brawl happened.

Chumley sighed as he looked at the two Obelisk Blues looking at the fight, "I will get them." He walked off, trying to stop this brawl for the 3rd time this week.

"Okay then," said Yusuke as he realized that not only are the things happening here strange, but the people as well. He then looked at Bastion and began walking around, "Hello, I am Yusu-"

"Yusuke Fujiwara, the Emperor of Duel Academy, Lightsworn user and one of the missing students, who is now all healed up. Am I right?" he asked, still munching on his Golden Eggwich, depressingly.

Yusuke blinked. That was strange, it was as if he already met him, but couldn't exactly remember him, but he still needed to answer his question. "Yes, but how did you know all about that?"

"I got all of the data from the Academy's website and from the words of Zane." he said as he gulped the sandwich that was in his throat, "And I am sorry for not introducing myself, I am Bastion Misawa." he shook hands with him, still saddened.

"Nice to meet you, but are you okay? You seem a little sad." he said, worryingly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just went through a separation of kinds." he said as he walked off, with the Golden Eggwich almost eaten up.

Yusuke walked towards Zane, who bought a pack that had new Cyber Dragon monsters in it, "I feel bad for him, he went through a breakup and he is sad about it."

Zane glanced at him, "Don't worry too much. She was a Shadow Rider and, more importantly, a tiger."

Yusuke quickly turned around like he heard his name on the hallway in a horror movie, "Excuse me?"

"She was a tiger that turned into a human thanks to a gauntlet and after she lost, she turned back into a tiger." he explained as Yusuke's mind went through a malfunction.

"What is wrong with this school?" he asked.

"Forgot to mention he is one of the more normaler ones." Zane added as Yusuke looked at him with an even more shocked face.

"What is WRONG with this school!?" he yelled as he went to buy a pack, the only way to get his mind off this.

A Couple Of Minutes Later

After finding out that half of the student body, maybe even more, is crazy and not normal, Yusuke bought a couple of packs to get his mind off things. The good news is that he got new cards by the name of That Grass Looks Greener and Painful Choice. After that they waited until Chazz and Syrus were done fighting, they got themselves a sandwich. Zane got a meatball sandwich while Yusuke got an apple sandwich, which if he was honest, wasn't half bad.

"So wait. You said that there was a girl in the Slifer Red dorms?" Yusuke asked Zane, finishing his sandwich.

Zane nodded as he took a bite, "Yeah, it was because she despised the Obelisk Blue outfit."

"I don't blame her, seriously what was Seto Kaiba thinking when he made them? But why not at least Yellow? Wasn't that more safe since Ra Yellows are much kinder than both Slifer Reds and Obelisk Blues?" Yusuke was confused to say the least on why she didn't pick Ra Yellow.

Zane shrugged as he only remembered the only reason for her not being in Ra Yellow is because, "She says that she looks good in red."

"...are you serious?" Zane nodded, "This can't be real."

"So is a student missing for 2 years because he had bad draws and only returned a couple of months, but hey anything is possible." said Zane as Yusuke did remember walking to Damon, but the weirdest part wasn't that he was built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was that he was called 'Yusaku Fujiki', which didn't even sound close at all.

"Yeah I guess, you are right." Admitted Yusuke, "I just hope that she is more sane than the othe-'' he then heard loud noises coming from the vending machine followed by loud feminine screaming.

"COME ON YOU PIECE OF SHIT! GIVE ME MY DAMN SNICKERS!"

Zane and Yusuke looked at each other, the former already knowing who it was.

"Please don't tell me it's her." he pleaded as Zane shook his head.

"Sorry, Yusuke, it's her." said as Zane began walking towards her. Yusuke dropped his head as he followed his best friend.

He walked in, his clothes still on his arm, and saw Celina yelling at a vending machine with her hand stuck in it. Yusuke breathed in and out, as he walked towards her, "Hello? Do you need help by any kind?"

Celina looked at the Obelisk Blue and her eyes widened right before her eyes returned to normal, "Oh hello, my name is uh…" she tried to reach out her hand towards Yusuke, but he already took it, "There we go. Name's Celina Boyle. And you must be Yusuke that Zane can't stop talking about."

The Emperor looked at Zane who merely just narrowed his eyes so he would know not to speak about.

"Yeah, I am." he said as he looked at Celina struggling to get her hand out of the vending machine, or something different, he really couldn't tell. "I am sorry, but what are you doing?"

"Oh well I bought a Snickers from this vending machine and it got stuck for the 3rd time this week so I decided why not?" she answered.

"But why exactly? Aren't you hurting your hand?" he asked.

"No not really, but since I bought my Snickers," Celina let go as she then tried her hardest to get her damn Snickers. "I AM GETTING MY DAMN SNICKERS!" she yelled as Zane looked at his green haired best friend, and motioned both of them to walk away from this situation, which they did.

As they exited the school, Yusuke commented, "Well that was…interesting to say the least.".

"Yeah, but at least she isn't as bad as one of them." he said as Yusuke groaned.

"I have to agree, I still can't believe Atticus would do that to us!" yelled Yusuke as Zane nodded, remembering that day like it was yesterday.

Two years ago, two juniors by the name of Yusuke Fujiwara and Zane Truesdale, aka the two best Duel Academy students that surpassed even the powerful group of students by the name Barians, were currently in class by Professor Stein and his, admittedly boring history lessons such as The Persian War.

A message was heard from Stein's PDA. He looked at it and realized it was from Sheppard. He opened it and read the message, "Professor Stein, please allow students, Zane Truesdale and Yusuke Fujiwara to be excused from class and that they need to see me right away. My apologies for interrupting your class. From, Chancellor Sheppard."

Stein put away his phone and looked at the two Obelisk Blue juniors, "Zane and Yusuke, Chancellor Sheppard wants to speak with you, so please get to it and come back to class." he said in his monotone voice as the two were confused, but they listened to the Professor and exited the class.

They did notice the fact that most of the females weren't there. Good. The less annoying fangirls the better.

They had a little conversation on where the hell is Atticus, but they were stopped when they saw Sheppard's office and they stopped. They entered the room and they saw the horrified look on Sheppard, but it was masked very well, maybe enough to fool them.

"Now, I know why both of you are wondering why both of you are here," Both of the Obelisk Blues nodded, "Well, the reason why is that someone stole something very precious to me and I want both of you to get it."

"Wait why us?" asked Zane as Sheppard held out the note.

"Well it's because it said this," Sheppard cleared his throat, "Chancellor Sheppard, I want to inform you that the thing that you hold dear in your entire life with as much passion as possible is taken. But do not worry, I will return it when the two students, Zane Truesdale and Yusuke Fujiwara, come to the shore. Have a good day. From, XOXO." He then looked at his students, "I know this will be a horrible decision to let students take care of this, but I am afraid this is our only option. I hope you can understand."

"Don't worry, Sheppard, we aren't worried at all. Whatever it is, we can handle them." assured Yusuke as Zane nodded.

Sheppard smiled at the two, "Thank you, you may now go. Class is dismissed for you two." they both exited the room as Sheppard began panicking.

A Little While Later

While the two were walking towards the shore, they felt something bad happening. They couldn't put their mind at it, but it was still hard to tell.

They made it to the shore and the sight was one to behold. Atticus Rhodes, the so-called Car Of Duel Academy, was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and pants, wearing sunglasses on his eyes with a big old grin on his face. In his hands was a guitar that he continued to play as he saw his two best friends. In his pockets was a picture, most likely from Sheppard, that had Dorothy's face on it. He was standing on a surfboard. On the shore were Obelisk Blue Girls, with their duel disks on, with lust visible in their eyes.

Both of them put 2 to 2 together and realized what happened, "Atticus, you didn't." said Yusuke, trying his best not to attack him on the spot.

"Why yes I did, old friend, but why do you two look so bloomy?" asked Atticus as Zane looked at him and if looks could kill, his remains will never be found.

"Because you got all of them here, and you most likely stole something to get that!" yelled Zane, but Atticus wasn't scared, why would he?

"Oh come on Zanny, look I sto-they stole the picture just for you two at least give them a chance." Yusuke and Zane looked at each other right before walking to two different sides of the beach.

"Atticus once this is over…"

"... we are going to KILL you!" both of them declared as the duels started.

10 Minutes Later

Atticus watched in horror as his two best friends absolutely decimated, destroyed, dominated, demolished, despoiled, exterminated their fangirls in one or two turns. There were hundreds of them, but they were destroying them like they were made out of butter and they were a hot knife.

Zane used his Cyber End Dragon plus his Power Bond Combo usually, but when he doesn't use his ace monster, he uses a Limiter Removal boosted Cyber Twin Dragon, his Laser and Barrier Dragon combo, his Cyber Eltanin and Power Wall Combo, his Chimeratechs or even just a plain old Cyber Dragon. His gunning them through like he was Doomguy.

Yusuke's strategy wasn't as destructive as Zane's, but his combos usually end his field to be at least 3 monsters with high attack points. With Wulf being a 2100 beatstick that can't be run over by any other monster that needed a Normal Summon, his Gragnoith with Kristya Combo was just too strong for anyone to handle and not to mention his two ace monsters, Honest and Judgement Dragon, absolutely destroys any hope of them winning since he would just normal summon Honest right after using Judgement Dragon's effect.

When they all were defeated they all walked away, head down with shame as Atticus walked away from his two best friends, not wanting to get beaten up by them.

"Guys, guys, come on. You don't have to do this. I was just trying my best to get you two in love so you two wouldn't feel lonely." he walked away slowly as his friends were quiet as stones, "Come on, you know I care about both of you, please." he stopped as both of them glared at the brunette.

"Atticus," started off Yusuke as he placed his hand close to the oldest Rhodes sibling, "The photo, now."

Atticus nodded as he gave the photo to Yusuke, who took it in his pocket. Both he and Zane cracked their knuckles as Atticus began running away as fast as possible, dropping his guitar in the process.

Zane picked it up as he and Yusuke both yelled out, "WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU, ATTICUS!" which roared everywhere in Duel Academy and some parts of Europe and Domino City.

Atticus ran and ran, not wanting the A+ ass whopping he would get so he pleaded with them not to attack him, but they wouldn't listen, it was like their ears were full of hot raging air that had one idea of attacking him. He ran towards the Slifer Red dorm, where a cliff was, and stopped.

They stopped as Atticus began walking back, trying to bargain until…

He fell back to a cliff with the Kaiser and Emperor of Duel Academy watched in amusement….right before calling the doctors.

"Ahh, one of my favourite memories," said Yusuke as he was pretty fond of that memory of them nearly beating Atticus to an inch of his life, even if he felt really bad for him when he fell down a cliff.

"I gotta agree, but I still can't stand the fact that he stole something from Sheppard. I am shocked that he was still there when he heard the news." said Zane as they continued walking.

"I think it was because he needed to be in a hospital bed, with Crowler, for 2 months was already a punishment enough so he decided to spare him." Yusuke gave out his two cents in the mix.

"I guess, being in the same room as Crowler for more than a month is almost as bad as getting his body beaten up." shrugged Zane.

"Even though I respect him as a teacher, he is still very annoying with the whole Slifer Red stuff, even from your words that the 3 best juniors are from Slifer Red." said Yusuke.

"It's because his favourite monster was destroyed by him in the 4th turn is where he had his gripes with. And that he still sleeps in class." Zane then glanced at Yusuke, a tiny smile appeared on his face, "Too bad for you that you have to go two more years with him."

Yusuke groaned as he realized just how horrible that sounds, "Yeah, I will be 20 year old when I finish high school, and most likely a 24 year old when I finish college."

"Tough luck. But at least you will be in the same year as her." Yusuke's eyes widened at the implication as Zane grinned, a tiny one.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Yusuke said as he had a tiny blush on his face.

"You know exactly what I am talking about. Blonde hair, hazel eyes, a person that most likely has a crush on you." said Zane as his best friend turned around.

"I don't know who you are talking about, Zane. She doesn't care about me." said Yusuke as Zane looked at him.

"I don't know about that. I heard from Atticus that his sister couldn't wait to see you again to give you a gift." said Zane as he saw his best friend blushing like there is no tomorrow.

"He was most likely lying about that. You know that he likes messing with us." he argued back.

"Yusuke," Zane started, "You know that he never lies about all of this romance stuff." he then looked forward and saw the Obelisk Blue herself, "Oh and she is here."

"What!?" He turned around and saw Alexis Rhodes coming near them. Once she came closer, like a couple of meters close, he composed himself and looked at her with a smile on his face, "Hello, Alexis."

Alexis looked at him and her eyes widened, right before softening as she saw her 'former' crush, "Oh, hello Yusuke, I didn't know you were released from Fonda's office."

Yusuke chuckled, "Yeah, just today I was given permission to walk and Zane waited for me so we could hang out again." Zane confirmed it with a nod.

Alexis said, "Well it's good to see you again after all of these years…" she smiled as Yusuke returned it.

"Yeah, the same goes with you too. It's good to see you too, after everything." He said as he noticed why she was walking towards the school, "Hey, not to say anything bad, but why are you here exactly? Close to the school, isn't it Saturday, after all?" he asked.

"Oh!" she sheepishly laughed, which never happens around anyone else which Zane noticed right when she did that, a given perk when you hung out with your best friend's house, "Well, Celina called that she needs help to get her hand out of the vending machine and the reason why she didn't call others is because she doesn't trust Chazz, Syrus and Chumley, Bastion is still sad about his, well, ex-girlfriend in a way and Jaden would cause more trouble." she answered as Yusuke nodded.

"I understand, well, good luck with getting Celina's hand out of the vending machine." said Yusuke as Alexis began walking towards the entrance.

"Will do!" she said as she walked with a blush on her face.

"So," Yusuke turned to his best friend, "did you notice the blush on her face?" he asked as he smirked at his friend's reaction.

"What blush?" he lied as he definitely saw her blush, like he didn't blush like a tomato when he saw her.

"You know the hot feeling on your cheeks when you are flustered, embarrassed or in love with someone?" asked Zane as Yusuke looked at him.

"I know what that means, man!" he yelled.

"Then why do you act like you refuse to blush?" asked Kaiser.

"Okay, maybe I do have feelings for her-"

"Called it."

Yusuke ignored him, "But I do worry how Atticus would react if he finds out if I dated his sister."

Zane looked at Yusuke like he grew 3 heads and breathed fire, "Excuse me? Are you kidding, Yusuke? He would be overjoyed that his best friend and sister are together. A little protective, sure, but mad? No chance."

"I guess that's reassuring." said Yusuke as they continued walking, but he was confused on something, "Side note, where am I supposed to sleep? I know the dorm where we were is now abandoned, but where do I sleep?"

Zane glanced at him, "In the Obelisk Blue Dorm, and don't worry, they made it like it was before after our duel." he answered as Yusuke looked at him.

"Wait, are you sure?" Zane nodded, "Why? Don't they remember the real reason why we got our rooms in the abandoned dorm and why we were banned from it?"

It was a month before the incident with Atticus and them threatening to kill him as the two juniors were sitting in Yusuke's room, which was the same as Zane's and Atticus'. They were watching the newest episode of My Hero as they both were hungry, which was a problem.

Sure, they were the two strongest duelists there, but their cooking skills were left to be desired. They were horrible, atrocious, terrible at cooking. They once messed up cooking toast, which shocked everyone around them.

Atticus was the only in the trio that could cook. You can give him the most random things, but he could make the best thing they have ever eaten. He even made pineapples for pizza work.

But them?

Nah, not a chance, never in a million years, no way jose.

Atticus wasn't there, he was too busy probably from being with his fangirls or writing a song so they didn't want to inconvenience him.

They stood up, and they tried to make something simple, like eggs, or maybe like, potatoes. Surely they can't screw it up. Right?

They got to the kitchen and placed eggs, bread, potatoes, butter and more. They decided to cut the potatoes first.

After a grueling 20 minutes of them cutting the potatoes and having well over 30 cuts on their body, with multitudes of bandages, they were finally done cutting the skin of the potatoes, which meant that they had to cut the potatoes in half, which was easier since now they have half of the amount of scars.

They placed the potatoes on a big pan, for a stove, while placing oil because that's how the preferred it and placed it in a stove that was the the same design as Obelisk's head and turned it into maybe too much heat and placed it in.

And then they started cracking eggs, and they might have added too many eggs, but that was never a big problem, they could just give it to the other students.

They placed the pan and added a bit too much oil and began the heat, which immediately made a huge fire.

Which shocked the two so they tried putting it out with water, but they forgot to never use water on something electric so it made a tiny explosion that engulfed the curtains next to it.

Yusuke accidently bumped the oil, which didn't have a cap on, off the counter and spread everywhere, making a fire on the floor.

Doctor Crowler rushed in as soon as he heard a fire, but he slipped on the floor and he was engulfed by the flame. He stood up and began running in circles yelling, "AHH! I AM ON FIRE!"

And much to the two Obelisk's dismay, the stove was cut on fire due to it being too hot and having way too much oil and heat at the same time so it was burning like a tree.

The 4 Barians, which were the second strongest group of students that had 3 sophomores and 1 junior, walked in because they heard a big noise in the kitchen, "We heard a noise, is something wron-" Mizar stopped on what he was about to say as he saw the state of the kitchen and the rest of them followed suite. They walked away, never talking about this ever again.

After the hell that the two of the strongest duelists on the island made, they, and Atticus because he wanted to be with them, were sent to the other dorm and were banned from the regular one, Atticus laughing his ass off when he heard the news and Crowler being patched up by Akiza, Clarrisa Turner and Fonda while muttering, "It's alright they are Obelisks. It's alright they are Obelisks. It's alright they are Obelisks."

"Yeah, and that was the last time I ever touched a stove." said Zane as he looked at the Emperor of Duel Academy, "But, don't worry about anything. After that we are now allowed back to the dorms."

"Well good, since I preferred it there rather than the abandoned dorm." said Yusuke as he looked at his Nightshroud outfit, and smiled, "Come on, let's go since it is already dark out.." he said as they both went to the dorm.

It was a quiet one, since it was now already dark so they decided to go to sleep after this. They reached for their rooms and were separated since Yusuke's room is about 5 rooms away from Zane's.

He opened his dorm room and it was like it wasn't even touched, despite it being cleaner than a bathroom commercial for a bathroom product. It had the king sized bed, a balcony where he could see the sea, a massive computer, several chairs, a bean bag and a wardrobe that had his Obelisk Blue outfits. He looked at his outfit and placed it there if he ever wanted to wear it again, which he would since he did think it looked cool.

He laid on his bed and smiled, "Honest?"

Honest appeared in front of him, "Yes, Master Fujiwara?"

Yusuke smiled at his duel spirit, "It's good to be back."

Honest smiled at his master, "It sure is, Master Fujiwara. It sure is."

Authors Note:

And finished! That was longer than I imagined it, might be because of school and I am horrible at dialogue, but hey, I hope this works.

Here it is, Yusuke Fujiwara's introduction chapter despite already being revealed several chapters in. This version of Yusuke isn't the same as Canon as I wanted to make my own version, but had the same vibe as the original. As you could tell, Yusuke is currently the strongest duelist here, but won't duel for a LONG time. He plays Lightsworns, since I do think it is perfect for him and will be a challenge to write it, but I think I can make it work, and it will make it interesting for Season 4 if you catch my drift.

Zane is still my favourite out of the Obelisk Blues, since he is my 3rd favourite in GX and 8th overall (But he might be dropped a little since I am really enjoying Soulburner). I love his deck and if I may be honest, I am tired of him being treated as this jerk of a brother in fanfictions and that he loses to Jaden most of the time. Yes, he isn't the nicest, even the canon makes it clear, but he isn't a selfish asshole. He sacrificed himself to Camula just so he could live. And him losing to Season 1 Jaden will never be fun to read since that is when I drop a fic. He will become Hell Kaiser, but he will get redeemed.

I am currently on Episode 61 of Vrains and I love Theodore and his girl- I mean friend, Kiku. Hope to see more of her, which sparked an idea in my head. What if Soulburner is the main character that dueled Varis and the Knights of Hanoi and Playmaker is introduced in Season 2? I might make that, but I wouldn't count on it.

And next time is Dennis Mcfield as the Next Shadow Rider, and I already planned the entire duel, but it will be late since I won't have access to my computer for some days and I don't want to write on my phone, I hope all of you understand. He will duel someone that I wanted to see duel against him, but a certain someone decided "Nah, Arc V ruined you enough, I don't think you can handle this one."

Anyways, see ya later!
