The Academy Duelist

NarutoxHarem

Story Start

At an academy that taught young adults how to play children's card games, said people were playing a game of baseball. At the mound was Misawa and with Naruto pitching the ball. Naruto threw the ball half heartily and surprisingly enough Daichi hit the ball and sent it flying.

Elsewhere, walking nearby the baseball arena was Professor Chronos. He was too busy grumbling to hear Daichi's hit and the cheers from the Ra Yellow's team.

"For heaven's sake, that Manjoume is of no use at all...," grumbled Professor Chronos. "I must hurry and replace him with someon..."

Professor Chronos was cut off as a ball hit him right in the eye and sent him flying back into the sports equipment. A few moments later, Naruto and Shou ran up to Professor Chronos.

"Oh it's just Chronos. For a second there I thought someone important was hit.''

Naruto and Shou stopped as Professor Chronos popped out of the equipment. Their eyes widened as they saw Professor Chronos glare at them with daggers as the ball that hit him covered his left eye.

"You Ginger-tipped bastard!'' Yelled Professor Chronos. "What have you done to my beautiful face!'' Chronos cried out in distress.

''Not that much comparing what it'd look like before.''

Daichi ran up towards Naruto, Shou, and Professor Chronos, having heard the commotion.

"I'm sorry!" Daichi apologized. "I was the one who hit it."

Professor Chronos calmed down and looked away from the Osiris Red duo. Daichi stood behind said duo, trying to catch his breath.

"Signore Misawa…" Professor Chronos said.

Professor Chronos recovered quickly and stood up, his back turned to the three students. He had his hands clasped together as he smiled.

"Signore Misawa is known as the top academic student...na no ne," Professor Chronos said to himself. "I could probably use him as Manjoume's replacement…"

Daichi looked down sheepishly. "Um…will I be footing your doctor's bill, sir?" Daichi asked him.

Professor Chronos turned around quickly and face Daichi, startling the Ra Yellow slightly.

"Non!" Professor Chronos said. "Non! Non! Non!"

Professor Chronos grinned."The Academy is tolerant towards its high achievers," explained Professor Chronos. "Instead…"

Professor Chronos whispered to Daichi whilst Shou and Naruto tried to listen to their conversation. Somehow, the blonde-haired professor sensed the duo trying to eavesdrop and turned around, scowling at them.

"This has nothing to do with you two!" Professor Chronos scolded and proceeded to shoo them away. "Shoo! Shoo! Sashisuse-shoo!"

''Alright we're going,'' Naruto said as he walked/Shou ran, away from Professor Chronos.

Professor Chronos watched the Osiris Red duo run away, the ball on his left eye dropping onto the ground. He turned to Daichi afterwords, who noticed the blonde-haired professor was now sporting a black eye.

"So, Signore Misawa, despite the interference, there will be a condition in place of my doctor's fee, And that is…"

Later on in class, Manjoume sat down in his seat and kicked back.

"Aah!" Manjoume said. "It's great being the Manjoume!"

"What's with him?" Asked someone.

Manjoume blinked and looked over at a group of Obelisk Blue students, perplexed.

"Huh?" He said. "What's the matter?"

The group of Obelisk Blues looked at each other and started talking.

"What's he thinking?"

"Who does he think he is?"

Manjoume placed his hands on his desk.

"Oi, damn it!" Manjoume exclaimed

An Obelisk Blue student with short, brown hair walked up to Manjoume.

"Manjoume, where are you sitting?" Asked the brown-haired Obelisk Blue.

Manjoume turned to the Obelisk Blue in front of him. "'Where?"

"This isn't your seat anymore, you know," said the Obelisk Blue student. "So, move it."

Manjoume scowled at the Obelisk Blue student."What are you talking about?" Manjoume snapped, pointing at the tag on his desk. "My name's right here on this seat…"

Manjoume trailed off as he looked at the tag, his eyes widening as the tag read 'Empty Seat'.

"It's gone!" Exclaimed Manjoume.

The Obelisk Blue student standing by Manjoume smirked and directed him over to a seat on the other side of the room.

"Yeah, of course it is," said the Obelisk Blue. "You were moved to over there."

Manjoume looked at the direction the Obelisk Blue pointed at.

"What was that?" Exclaimed Manjoume. "A seat change? And in that corner, to boot?" He said as the corner was by Ra Yellow and Osiris Red juncture.

Manjoume stood up in his seat as he looked down at Professor Chronos, who had just walked in.

"Professor Chronos!" Manjoume exclaimed in out rage. "What is the meaning of this? Why was I move to that seat?"

Professor Chronos grinned and stared at Manjoume. "Because, you, Signore Manjoume, lost to a duel to Uzumaki Naruto...''

''So did you,'' Manjoume responded.

''Shut up..." He cut him off not wanting to remember that disgraceful moment. "And that is not all…Signore, tomorrow you must duel with Ra Yellow's Daichi Misawa with a dorm change at stake!"

Manjoume was shocked with what he heard.

"T-Then, if I lose, I'll be demoted to Ra Yellow?" Manjoume asked.

Professor Chronos waved it off.

"Now, now, take your seat-no ne," he said. "Your own seat."

Manjoume clenched his teeth everyone in the classroom began to snicker. Not wanting to hear them, Manjoume pushed the brown-haired Obelisk Blue out of his way and ran out of the room. Even as he ran out of the Main academy Building, he could still hear their laughter.

"A demotion, he says?" Manjoume yelled, scowling as laughter rang in his ears.

"This is the key," Daichi said, showing the Osiris Red duo the writings on the bat. They were outside the Ra Yellow Dorm as Misawa explained his batting prowess.

"Formulas?"

Daichi nodded.

"That's right," he said. "Even the pitches I threw were all varied throws I figured out through calculations."

Naruto started at the equations on the bat.

Shou looked at Daichi."So, what's our penalty game going to be?"

Daichi grinned and laughed. A few moments later, Daichi opened the door to his room for Naruto and Shou. "Well, step into my room," Daichi invited them in.

Naruto and Shou walked into Daichi's room and stared at it wide-eyed when they saw a multitude of equations written on the walls…and even the ceiling!

"Wha...?" They exclaimed. "What is all this?"

Daichi walked past the Osiris Red duo towards his desk and dropped his bat and bag onto the floor.

"They're all equations that I wrote down out of whim," said Daichi.

Daichi gestured at one of the many equations."Over there is Schrodinger's Cat," Daichi said, gesturing at another equation. "Here, we have Avogadro's Law. And that's the probability of 'If the wind blows, a bucket maker prospers.'"

"Even the ceiling?"

Daichi looked at Naruto and Shou, smiling at them.

"I want you both to assist me in the Big Bang of all these stars!" Daichi said, holding his hands up.

Naruto and Shou blinked owlishly at Daichi. "Big Bang?"

Daichi held up a bucket and a mop in his hands as he smiled at Naruto and Shou."Yep," Daichi echoed. "Big Bang."

0000000000

Sometime later, the walls were fully painted, as was the ceiling, and the carpet was cleaned up of any paint that fell on it. Shou, Naruto, and Daichi stared at their 'Big Bang', still very much covered in paint. After showering up and currently eating some Ra Yellow food from the Ra Yellow cafeteria, one question was on the tip of Naruto's tongue.

"So what was it that Chronos wanted to talk to you about earlier?''

Daichi sat himself down in a chair and smiled. "Ah, right," said Daichi. "It was about a dorm change test."

''I guess that's why you wanted help cleaning your room. Misawa, you're… finally getting promoted to Obelisk Blue, then?"

"N-Not as of yet."

''I don't see why not. Hell you blew just about everyone out of the water at the entrance exams. You getting into Obelisk Blue was obvious!"

"Good job, Misawa!"

"Good job, Misawa-kun!" Shou said at the same time.

Daichi grinned back at Shou and Naruto.

"Y-Yeah, I guess," said Daichi.

Daichi looked at them and smiled.

At the Obelisk Blue Dorms Manjoume, sitting on a couch, was in his room currently conversing with two older men through video phone call. The two older men were Manjoume's older brothers, Chosaku and Shouji.

"Hey, Jun!"

"Yes," Manjoume responded.

"You do understand, right?" Asked Chosaku.

Manjoume nodded. "Yes, Chosaku-nii-san, Shouji-nii-san," said Manjoume.

"My hands have been so tied with my election campaign, and Shouji's as well with his banking settlements…" Chosaku said, "…that we haven't had the time to contact you, but…"

"You're at the top academically, right, Jun?" asked Shouji. "Our Elder Brother is at the top in the political world, while I'm in the financial world. Jun, we have plans to have you rule the card game world and dominate the world with the Manjoume family! You understand, don't you, Jun?"

"The future of the Manjoume family is riding on your shoulders," said Chosaku.

With that said, both brothers hung up, leaving Manjoume thinking about what he just discussed with his older brothers. With what he was just told, there was no doubt that the pressure was on.

"What should I do? I can't say I might get demoted instead of having the top seat…"

Manjoume stood up and walked over to the window, his expression anxious for once.

"Not to my brothers…"

Manjoume blinked as he saw three silhouettes through his window. He immediately recognized one of them.

"That's…Daichi Misawa,"

Daichi was following Naruto and Shou back to their dorm. Manjoume watched them go, perplexed.

"Is he going over to Osiris Red?" thought Manjoume. "If he is, his dorm is…"

Manjoume's eyes widened as his breath hitched.

It was the middle of the night and Manjoume made his way towards the Ra Yellow Dorms. After managing to sneak in, he quickly looked around the halls for Daichi's room. He placed his hand on the name-tag that read 'Misawa' on a door. He was just about to open the door when something caught his eye.

Right next to the door under the window, where the moonlight shone down, was a desk and other stuff as well, but Manjoume's gaze was focused on the desk.

A sudden banging on the Osiris Red trio's door awoke everyone up, what caught everyone's attention as well as Tome's very worried voice.

"Bad news!" Yelled Tome. "Naruto-chan, bad news!"

Naruto ran up to the door and opened it. The first thing he saw was Tome's concerned face.

"What's wrong, Tome-san?" asked Naruto.

Daichi, Shou, and Hayato walked up to Naruto by the doorway as Tome explained.

"I unloaded a ship and went down to the pier, but there they were, all thrown away!" said Tome. "A whole bunch of cards!"

Down by the water front Naruto picked up a couple of cards recognizing them.

"Ring of Destruction…" he said, recognizing another card, "…and Blood Vorse, which means…Misawa's cards were the ones thrown away!"

Daichi stared at his cards as they floated in the water.

"I was careless," said Daichi. "This deck was in the desk that was put in the hallway yesterday."

Shou looked at Daichi. "Who in the world could've done this?" asked Shou.

Naruto frowned."And this was your big chance to be promoted to Obelisk Blue, too! Now we don't have the time to gather up all your cards!"

Naruto looked at Daichi."What are you going to do?" he asked. "How will you fight without your deck? Your test is going to be starting soon, Misawa!"

Daichi just stayed silent.

0000000000

Later on Daichi, Shou, and Naruto ran into the duel field arena where Manjoume and Professor Chronos were waiting at. Professor Chronos stared at Daichi.

"You're late-no ne, Signore Misawa," said Professor Chronos.

Manjoume smirked at Daichi."I thought you already ran away with your tail between your legs," Manjoume mocked him.

Daichi, Naruto, and Shou stopped in front of Professor Chronos and Manjoume. Naruto stared at Manjoume, her eyes widening.

"To think you would stoop that low. The only person who would benefit of throwing away Misawa cards, would be you wouldn't it Manjoume!''

Professor Chronos was taken aback with what Naruto just said.

"What did you say?" Asked Professor Chronos.

Manjoume scowled at Naruto. "What are you falsely accusing me of, Uzumaki?" Manjoume snapped. "Why would I…"

"I wonder if it's really a false accusation," remarked someone.

Naruto and Shou blinked before turning around. Standing a few feet away from them was Ryou and Asuka.

"Asuka, Kaiser Ryou…" Naruto acknowledge them.

"I happened to see it," Asuka replied. "I saw you, Manjoume-kun, tossing his cards into the shore."

Everyone in the room except Ryou and Asuka gasped. Manjoume just gritted his teeth and scowled. "And since I was curious, I came here to find out why," Asuka finished explaining.

''I guess a rich boy can't always rely on money to get everything they won't!''

Manjoume tightened his fists and scowled at Naruto.

"Shut it," Manjoume snapped. "I threw away some of my own cards. Or was there a name written on those cards?"

"Manjoume!"

"You're going to take responsibility for accusing me of being a thief," Manjoume demanded.

Manjoume looked at Professor Chronos and smirked. "What would you say to the loser of this duel getting expelled?" Suggested Manjoume.

Naruto held up his fist."That's totally unreasonable! Now that Misawa's deck lost some of its key cards, it's…"

"No, I'll accept the duel," Daichi cut him off.

"Huh?"

"I have a deck, and I will accept those conditions!"

"Misawa!"Daichi looked at Naruto. "The deck that was tossed away was a mish-mash deck for tweaking."

Daichi unzipped his jacket and gripped it with both hands.

"My real deck…is right here!" Daichi exclaimed, opening his jacket to reveal a vest he wore with six pouches. "Behold the six decks packed with my blood and soul! Kaze-As swift as the wind! Mizu-As quiet as the water! Hi-As aggressive as the fire! Chi-As sedentary as the earth! Yami-Through the evil darkness, hikari-(light)! will shine!"

Manjoume was taken aback with the six decks on Daichi. However, with familial pressure on him, Manjoume's anxiety was replaced with spite.

"S-Six decks, is it?" Manjoume said, taking out his own deck and holding it up. "Allow me to take those gaudy bluffs of yours and char them into cinders with these flames of malice of mine!"

"Heh, that settles it," said Daichi. "The deck that will defeat you…is this one!"

Daichi quickly took a deck out if its pouch and activated his duel disk. He then placed his deck within the duel disk.

"Set up!" he said. "You'll soon learn whether this deck is for show or not, Manjoume!"

"Bring it, Misawa!"

Both Manjoume and Daichi were on their opposite sides of the field facing each other.

"Duel!" They both exclaimed.

Manjoume: 4000

Daichi: 4000

"I'll go first!" Manjoume announced. "I draw a card! I summon Hell Soldier in attack mode!"

Hell Soldier appeared on Manjoume's side of the field. (1200)

"I place one face-down to end my turn!"

A face-down card appeared on Manjoume's side of the field next to Hell Soldier.

"My turn," Daichi said, drawing a card. "Draw!"

Naruto stared at the card in Daichi's hand.

"Which attribute did Misawa choose?" Naruto asked curious.

"Wind?" Asuka wondered. "Water?"

Their question was soon answered as Daichi played the card in his hand.

"I summon Hydrogeddon in attack mode!" said Daichi. "Come forth, Hydrogeddon!"

A monster composed of pure hydrogen appeared on the field with a roar. (1600) The attribute was water.

"I use Hydrogeddon to attack Hell Soldier!" said Daichi. "Hydro Breath! Eliminate his Hell Soldier!"

Hydrogeddon opened its mouth and shot out a blast of hydrogen at Hell Soldier with force, destroying Manjoume's monster.

Manjoume recovered from the aftermath attack.

"Still, at this moment, Hell Soldier's special effect is activated! It will deal all Battle Damage received by the player straight to the opponent as well!''

Manjoume: 3600

Daichi: 4000

Naruto, Shou, and Asuka gasped while Ryou was still stoic…however, he spoke.

"What?"

"Then, when he attacks it…"

Daichi clenched his teeth as he reached for his deck.

"I'll activate a special effect, as well!" said Daichi. "When Hydrogeddon destroys an opponent's monster by battle, I can special-summon another Hydrogeddon from my deck! Come out, Hydrogeddon!"

A second Hydrogeddon appeared next to the first one on Daichi's side of the field.

"My Battle Phase hasn't concluded yet," said Daichi. "I'll use Hydrogeddon to attack you directly, Manjoume! Go, Hydrogeddon! Hydro Breath!"

Manjoume stared wide-eyed and agape at the hydrogen blast shot straight at him from Hydrogeddon's mouth. The blast knocked him back onto the ground as his life points decreased.

Manjoume: 2000

Daichi: 4000

Manjoume got off from the ground and reached for his deck.

"My turn…" Manjoume said, drawing a card. "I activate the Trap card, Call of the Living Dead. With this card, I can special-summon a monster from my Graveyard! And the card I'm summoning…is this! Be reborn, Hell Soldier!"

Hell Soldier returned to his position on Manjoume's field.

"Next, I activate the Magic card, Hell Reckless Summoning…" Manjoume said, playing a card, "…which special-summons monsters identical to a monster on our fields…from our decks, hands, and Graveyards, all in attack mode!"

Two more Hell Soldiers appeared next to the Hell Soldier already on the field as a third Hydrogeddon joined the other two on Daichi's field.

"No matter how many Hell Soldiers he gets together, their ATK is 1200," Asuka remarked. "They don't come close to Hydrogeddon."

"He must have some sort of plan in store," Ryou replied.

Manjoume overheard Ryou and smirked.

"Precisely, Kaiser," Manjoume said. "And it is I who will succeed you in Obelisk Blue! I activate the Equip Magic, Hell Alliance!"

A card appeared on Manjoume's field as he explained its effect.

"This increases the Attack of the equipped monster by 800 points for each monster with the same name as it. The Atack of my equipped Hell Soldier is…3600!"

A blue light engulfed the Hell Soldier revived by Call of the Living Dead.

Shou, Asuka, and…yes, even Ryou and Naruto, were shocked at the sudden raise of Attack in Hell Soldier.

"Go, Hell Soldier!" Manjoume said as he tightened his fist.

The overpowered Hell Soldier swung his sword at a Hydrogeddon, destroying the hydrogen-composed monster.

Manjoume: 2000

Daichi: 1600

Shou looked at Daichi concerned."T-This isn't good," said Shou. "Now, Misawa-kun's life points are down to 1600. Things have flipped around now!"

"That was nothing!" Daichi said as he drew a card. "It's my turn! Come forth, Oxygeddon!"A green, winged dragon-like monster composed of oxygen appeared on the field. (1800)

"Attack one of his 1200-ATK Hell Soldiers!" Ordered Daichi. "Oxy Stream!"Oxygeddon opened its mouth and sent out an invisible, but forceful stream of oxygen at one of the weaker Hell Soldiers, destroying it.

Manjoune: 1400

Daichi: 1600

Manjoume shielded himself from the blast and looked at Daichi afterwards."However, when Hell Soldier's destroyed, all the damage I take will be forced onto you, too!" said Manjoume.

Manjoume: 1400

Daichi: 1000

Daichi was unfazed with his decrease in life points."Next, I use Hydrogeddon to attack another Hell Soldier!" said Daichi.

One Hydro Breath and Hell Soldier destroyed with a decrease in both Manjoume and Daichi's life points later…

Manjoune: 1000

Daichi: 600

Shou was now concerned."He can try all he wants, but it's his own life points that are getting reduced!" Exclaimed Shou.

"No, he's fine," Naruto remarked.

"Uzumaki's right," Ryou added.

Shou looked at Ryou, perplexed."Huh?"

"The Attack of Hell Soldier with the Equip Magic is 3600," Ryou explained. "It can't be defeated unless you summon a considerably powerful monster. But look."

Hell Soldier's Attack points decreased back to its original number.

"I get it now!" Shou exclaimed. "With less Hell Soldiers, its Attack has gone down!"

"Yeah, Misawa made his chance to turn the match around by reducing some of his own life points," Naruto stated.

Daichi smiled."Okay…now I have the better number of monsters on the field. If I can stave off his next attack, I'll still have a chance."

Daichi picked a card from his hand and placed it face-down."I place one card face-down and finish my turn!" said Daichi.

"My turn," said Manjoume. "Misawa, your petty tricks won't work on me!"

Manjoume folded his hand and discarded them save for one.

"I sacrifice my Hell Soldier and my entire hand to summon Blazing Demon-Hell Burner!" Flames engulfed Hell Soldier as they swirled into a fiery sphere."Come forth, Hell Burner!" Manjoume said, laughing menacingly.

Shou, and Asuka gasped while Ryou was expressionless.

"What?" Asuka and Shou exclaimed.

"Blazing Demon. How curious,'' Naruto replied evenly.

A wave of heat was sent around the room as the sphere dissipated, revealing Blazing Demon-Hell Burner. (2800 Attack)

"What now, Misawa?" Manjoume taunted his opponent. "My Hell Burner is a high-leveled monster. And what's more, for every one of my opponent's monsters, its Attack goes up by 200 points! There are three monsters on your field, and so, Hell Burner's Attack goes up by 600 points!" (3400)

"Now, go!" said Manjoume. "Be burned by my flames of malice, and be gone from this Academy, Misawa!"

Hell Burner shot out a fiery blast from its mouth aimed at Daichi.

Manjoume smirked as the blast was about ready to hit Daichi. Daichi waved his arm as he intervened with his face-down card.

"Trap, activate!" said Daichi. Pale white bars emerged from the ground and shielded off Daichi's monsters from Hell Burner's attack."Amorphous Barrier!" said Daichi. "When there are three or more monsters on my field, this will negate my opponent's attack and end the battle! That's too bad, Manjoume!"

Manjoume grinned at Daichi.

"You're a persistent one," Manjoume remarked, tightening his fist. "However, your end will no doubt come on my next turn!"

"If you have a next turn, that is!" said Daichi.

Manjoume scowled."What?" he said.

"My turn," said Daichi. "I activate the Magic card, Bonding-H2O! And I'll offer my two Hydrogeddon and my one Oxygeddon as sacrifices!"

All three said monsters disappeared from the field."Come forth, Water Dragon!" said Daichi.

A whirlpool of water shot up as a dragon-like monster composed of water with red eyes appeared on Daichi's field. (2800 Attack)

"And with less monsters on my field, Hell Burner's ATK goes down!" said Daichi.

Hell Burner's Attack went 400 points down. (3000 Attack)

Manjoume smirked."Even so, it's still my monster that has the higher Attack," said Manjoume.

"Heh, we'll see about that," said Daichi. "My equation to defeat you is already complete!"

Professor Chronos gasped."W-What was that?"

Shou and Naruto stared Daichi agape."Is he saying that the battles so far have been going as he calculated?"

A giant wave of water headed straight at Manjoume. Manjoume stared wide-eyed at the tidal wave as he yelled. The wave hit Hell Burner, decreasing its Attack to 0.

"What's this?" Asked Manjoume.

Daichi grinned."I've activated Water Dragon's special effect," explained Daichi. "As long as this monster is on the field, the ATK of Fire-Attribute and Fire-type monsters become 0! Water Dragon! Aqua Punisher!"

Manjoume stared wide-eyed as Water Dragon shot out a large blast if water at Hell Burner. Hell Burner was destroyed and the water swept Manjoume off the platform and flooded the room. A few moments later, Manjoume popped out from under the water and inhaled deeply.

Manjoume: 0

Daichi: 600

"Manjoume, as a duelist, you…" Daichi tried to speak but was cut off.

"Shut up!" Manjoume snapped as he scowled at Daichi. "It was because you just so happened to pick a Water-Attribute deck that I…"

"No, it wasn't," said Daichi.

Manjoume blinked and stared at Daichi perplexed.

"It wasn't by chance," explained Daichi. "You told me before the duel had started."

"I'll char you to cinders with my flames of malice!"

"In other words, the outcome was clear before the duel!" said Daichi. "Also, Manjoume…The cards that were thrown into the ocean are, without a doubt, mine."

"How are you sure?"

"Because I unintentionally made a memo on this," Daichi explained as he reached into his pocket and took out a card. "It's a formula."

Daichi held up the card for Manjoume to see, a formula indeed written on it."Here is your proof," Daichi said. "After all, there's only one card in the world that's scribbled on like this." Daichi looked at Manjoume."Manjoume, those who can't treasure their cards lack what it takes to be a duelist!" said Daichi.

Manjoume hunched over and clenched his teeth as he closed his eyes.

"I've lost yet again!" Forgive me Partner.

Professor Chronos walked up to Daichi.

"Signore Misawa," said Professor Chronos. "I approve of your transfer over to Obelisk Blue-no ne."

"No," Daichi turned him down. "I must turn down your invitation."

Professor Chronos looked at Daichi questioningly. "Oh?" said Professor Chronos. "Why is that-na no ne?"

"I've decided back at the entrance exams that when I get into Obelisk Blue…it'll be when I'm Number One in this Academy," Daichi answered.

Daichi smiled and turned to Naruto, who was by Manjoume holding her hand out to him. When Manjoume refused her hand, Naruto looked at Daichi questioningly.

"Naruto, I'll have to beat you in order to get into Obelisk Blue," Daichi announced.

Naruto grinned, ''Fine by me...ready any time.''

''I'm afraid that will take some time. The decks here aren't completed yet," Daichi explained. "These six decks are mere prototype decks for the study of your deck."

"Prototype decks?"

"P-Prototype deck?" Manoume repeated. "I lost to that?"

Manjoume glared at Daichi, Afterwards, he turned away, wanting to avoid eye contact with anyone.

"Perhaps I can finish it before the re-coated walls of my room are filled up with formulas," Daichi figured.

Shou whined."But we just finished painting it yesterday…" muttered Shou.

Daichi grinned as he looked at Naruto."It'll be my seventh deck, and one that'll defeat your Elemental Nations/Kitsune deck…" said Daichi.

"A deck that'll get the better of me, huh? I'll look forward to it...Number One.''

Naruto and Daichi smiled at each other, their rivalry now official.

Nighttime hung over Academy Island like a blanket. Surrounding the academy's main building, the docks, the three dorms and all the other structures. One of which was located deeply enough in the forest. Silence reigned around this facility… at least until being interrupted by the sound of breaking glass. "Warning! Warning!" A voice spoke through speakers.

"Code red! I repeat, Code red!"

Inside of the facility in question, scientists and men wearing suits ran about, many of them holding tranquilizer guns. "We must hurry, we can't allow the specimen to escape," of the men in suits said.

In another part of the building, a monkey with a duel disk on its arm and an unusual helmet on its head was running out of a room. It jumped on a guard and hopped into the elevator. Then it climbed the cables until reaching a window where it broke through and ran away from the place.

The following morning, Manjoume was walking away from the main building with his school bag slung over his shoulder. He looked at the academy. "Goodbye Duel Academia!'' He walked further away from the school.

Later on in the day, the students in Dai-sensei's classroom were waiting for the professor in question to come to class. Naruto was sitting back and relaxing

Naruto was sitting peaceful in his seat when Shou ran through the door straight for them. "Guys, it's awful! He's gone!"

"Slow down a sec. Who's gone?" Naruto asked.

"Manjoume," Syrus answered.

"Wait...why is that terrible news again?'' The unconcerned blond asked.

"Umm I don't know actually...''

''Oh well screw it I was looking for some excuse to do something crazy anyway.''

"Hey, I saw Manjoume packing up his things last night," stated one second year obelisk with short red hair.

"I guess he couldn't stand losing that much and then changing dorms," another added, also second year but blonde hair and female.

"Who cares about him? We don't need someone like Manjoume in the blue dorm who can't even beat a bunch of pathetic losers," another Obelisk spoke up.

"Oi! Bite us you little squat!'' Naruto retorted back at the now cowering blue.

"Guys, I know Manjoume might not be the nicest person around, but what if he's in trouble or something happened to him and he needs our help?" Shou suggested.

"Good point. We can't let him just go off like that. I mean we can use this as a bargaining chips as sorts and he'll have no choice to owe us a favor. New plumbing and renovations for Osiris Red!''

''That's not what I meant Aniki!'' Shou dead panned.

''Too bad! I'm tired of having to sneak into the yellow dorm and use their toilet because Chumley keeps clogging up ours.''

Not too long down the line Naruto and Shou crawled out of a hole in a wall. As they dusted themselves off, they were joined by Asuka, Junko and Momoe. "You know, the school does have doors."

Shou cried out in surprise. "Oh, hey girls, what're you all doing out here?" Naruto asked.

"The same thing as you guys. Looking for Manjoume," Alexis answered.

"Really, I didn't know you cared about him that much." Shou said.

"Manjoume may not be the nicest person around, but he's an Obelisk and we stick together when we can," she explained.

''He stole something from one of your drawers and you want to get it back before anyone finds out right?'' Naruto asked, grinning.

Asuka growled menacing. ''Just shut up and go Uzumaki!'' She said, trying hard not to blush.

The five students took off into the woods.

The group of five had been walking through the woods until Asuka ran out of patience.

''MANJOUME COME OUT NOW, WHEREVER YOU ARE! GOING INTO HIDING JUST BECAUSE YOU LOST! THAT'S TOO COWARDLY!'' She yelled at the top of her voice, scaring the wildlife around them.

"Hhm I wonder what kind of body lotion Asuka likes? Vanilla? Cinnamon? Strawberry. Maybe there's some edible cream with those flavors that can eaten off the body. Note to self:Look up edible body flavors that can be eaten off Asuka once I seduce her.''

Naruto was so lost in thoughts he didn't he noticed the conversation around him. He was roused from his thoughts when Asuka pointed to a bush. ''Over there. Something just moved.''

''It's Manjoume,'' Shou stated with certainty.

''Come on out Manjoume! Stop being a punk and accept that you lost...''

A figure leaped from the bushes. In their surprise, they didn't have time to identify it before it crashed into them. A moment later and it ran back into the woods.

"What was that thing?'' Asuka asked.

''Was that a monkey...with a duel disk?'' Naruto asked just as dazed.

Three men wearing suits came into the group's view. One shorter with gray hair, one taller and one with sunglasses and holding a gun. "What is it this time? Did it escape?"

They all heard a girl's scream coming from the woods. "Junko!"

Up in the trees they could see the figure was in fact a monkey holding Jasmine and leaping through the trees with her.

''They they are! Go after them!'' The bearded man ordered.

"What's going on here?'' Shou asked.

''No clue but that thing has Junko. But we have to move now!"' At that the four duelist ran after them.

The monkey carried Junko as it leaped through the woods, across a river and ending at a cliff with a tree. She repeatedly told the monkey to let her go, but it failed to produce results. "Let me go! What are you doing! Please let me go!"

The three men arrived soon after. "Aim and fire when ready," the tall one ordered.

"Sir, if I shoot now, I'd risk causing the girl harm."

"Damnit!"

The four students then arrived.''Ok what the hell is going on? Why is does the monkey have a dueling disk and I repeat...what the hell is going on?''

"That' monkey...," the short man said. "And that's not an ordinary monkey. His name's Wheeler and he's a trained duelist."

"A dueling monkey, named Wheeler?" Yep, has Kaiba written all over it.

"Wait, if he duels, then let me take him on. If that's what he's trained to do then maybe by dueling him I can get him to let his guard down,'' Naruto suggested stepping forward.

''Aniki you can't be serious!''

''I am...'' Naruto then turned to Wheeler and he spoke in a language none of the humans there could interpret.

''How about it Wheeler? If I win you let the girl go. If you win you can go free.''

Wheeler merely nodded, setting Junko down on the branch and activating his Duel disk.

''How in the world...'' Momoe murmured.

''Junko listen to me...stay right there until I come from you. We don't want to chance setting off Wheeler and there's no telling how sturdy that branch is. Sudden movements could cause it to collapse.'' Naruto said activating his disk.

Junko merely nodded as a fearful expression covered her face. Naruto took notice of this.

''I want let anything happen to you ok? When I make a promise I fight like hell to make sure I complete them. Everything is going to be ok,'' Naruto said flashing her a reassuring smile.

"I have a shot," the man with the gun announced as he took aim.

"No don't," the shorter one interrupted. "This duel is just the kind of field test he needs."

"Let's duel," Naruto said.

"Duel!" A computerized voice came from the helmet.

The students were shocked by this. "Whoa, it can talk?" Shou asked.

"Please, that would be too unrealistic. Any words related to duels have been programmed into it," the short man explained.

Naruto: 4000

Wheeler: 4000

"Here I go," Naruto said as drew his card. "I summon Nin-Ken-Fox in attack mode.'' (1800) ''And place one card face down and end my turn.''

'Please! Hurry up and save me!'' Junko pleaded.

''Don't worry Junko-san, Aniki will have you saved in no time.''

"My turn, Draw," Wheeler said through his helmet. He looked at his card for a moment before playing it. "Angry Arthropod Attack!" A large brown haired gorilla with red eyes appeared in front of Wheeler. (2000)

''Angry Arthropod! Attack! Attack!" The beast monster ran forward on its knuckles to slam Nin-Ken-Fox, but Naruto activated his face down card.

''My Infinite Dismissal trap!'' Lightning like energy surged about and paralyzed the gorilla. ''Your attacking monster can no longer attack during the battle phase and my monster is safe.''

"Now, one card face-down, end turn!"

''My turn,'' Naruto drew a card. ''I sacrifice my Nin-Ken Fox to summon my Millennium Kitsune in attack mode.'' (Another Delta Monster.) A large, bulky, bus sized Fox shaped monster appeared, covered from head to toe in shiny blue armor. Parts of it were uncovered by the shiny armor consisting of its feet, tails and openings of it's mouth, eyes and ears. It's armor is made up of multiple plates for flexibility each outlined with gold and decorated with many red orb like stones in the center of each plate on it's back giving a very regal appearance to it, on it's chest is a large golden eye. It has five tails all covered in a dull blue fur (feet are the same).

''I activate the spell equip card Kitsune enhancement. Only Kitsune cards can equipped with this spell which allows them to sprout an additional tail with a gain of 500 attack points. Also this Equip spell works independent of Kitsune cards whose effect is to gain additional tails. Now I attack your Angry Arthropod!'' Despite the creature's massive size it was quite quick. Taking the monster into it's giant maw it crushed it into debris.

Naruto: 4000

Wheeler: 3500

''Also thanks to my Millennium Kitsune's special ability it's attack points raises an additional 500.'' (3000) ''But I'm not done just yet...''

''Whoa!"' Shou said in awe. ''Aniki's on fire.''

''Come on Naruto-san! Show that monkey whose boss!" Momoe cheered.

''Naruto...'' Asuka thought.

''I activate Meteor of Destruction! Because you have more then 3,000 Life points I can do 1,000 life points of damage.''

Wheeler screech as the holographic meteor impacted into him.

Naruto: 4000

Wheeler: 2500

''I place a card face down and end my turn. If you want to surrender now Wheeler I won't blaim you.''

Naruto said as Wheeler sat down, looking defeated.

"Does that mean he's finished?" Shou asked.

"Oh please," the old man said. "If you underestimate this monkey, you'll be in deep trouble. Do you know that monkeys have a greater ability to copy than man? That's why we use monkeys for our duel animal experiment.''

The kids gasped at the info.

"Professor.''

''I've talk too much much again, eh? Slip of the tongue.''

''Okay, my turn now, Draw a card." Wheeler spoke through his helmet. "I summon Acrobat Monkey." A blue metallic monkey did a couple of flips before landing on the ground. (1000) "Next, play face-down. DNA Surgery."

"DNA Surgery! The card that changes the nature of monsters huh.'

Millennium Kitsune kept his general appearance, but changed to look more bulky and harrier. Acrobat Monkey turned into a real monkey under its armor. "Now I play, Wild Release!"

Asuka's eyes widened in realization of what was happening. "Wild release...it should be referring to the monster family shown on the card. And it allows the defense points of a monster from that family to be added to the attack points. Wow, this monkey really is good but it's still 200 points too low to beat Naruto."

"Acrobat Monkey's defense points is 1800 points. That means its attack points now is 2800 points. Now I activate the equip spell Megamorph. Since my Life points are lower then yours my monsters attack power is doubled.'' (5600) ''...Attack with Somersault Smash." As ordered, it leaped into a somersault and was about to strike when Naruto revealed a face down card.

''Sorry Wheeler but I activate the spell Widespread Ruin. I can automatically destroy your attacker monster.''

Acrobat Monkey was blown to pieces in an explosion.

''I end my turn!'' Wheeler announced.

"Not bad Wheeler. It's been fun but time for me to end this,'' Naruto was about to declare his attack when loud monkey screeches caught his attention.

He looked to the side and saw a bunch of other monkey behind some rocks.

"So many monkeys!" Shou exclaimed.

"It must be a whole tribe of them," Momoe added. ''Will we be attacked?'' She asked clasping her face in worry.

"I see, that's why you escaped, isn't it? So you could get back to your family," Naruto said.

''I know you want to get back to your family, but I promised to get back Makita-san. And unless you let her go, I need to beat you. Now Millennium Kitsune attack Wheeler directly.''

"And that's game. Alright Wheeler I won so I'm going to get Makita-san now.''

Wheeler merely nodded and moved to the side.

"Alright you flea ridden failure," the man with the gun said. "Time to go."

Naruto placed himself between them and Wheeler. "Hold on. He doesn't belong with you, he belongs with his family."

"You're right," the short man said. "But he's coming with us anyway." The man with the gun moved forward.

''Now get out the gaaah,'' Nauto clasped the man by the arm and flipped him over. Naruto pulled his arm behind his back and twisted his arm as he placed a foot to the back of his neck. ''Yeah...that ain't happening.'' Naruto said as the man reeled in pain. ''Now unless you want your buddy here to end up with broken bones I suggest you back up.''

''Sir...''

''Do it!'' The man ordered as the other man pulled out a M29 handgun.

''Aniki!''

''A handgun?''

''T-This is crazy.''

''We placed far too much money in this project so some snot-nosed kid can get in the way.''

Before Naruto could react the sound of something snapping drew his attention.

Junko gave out a cry of surprise as the olden rotten branch started giving away.''H-Help!''

''Makita-san!''Naruto launched himself and went to the side, grabbing hold of Junko's hand as the branch gave away. ''Hang on!''

''Were coming!"'

Shou, Asuka, and Momoe ran over and grasped Naruto as he pulled Junko's arm.

''Don't let me go! Please!'' She cried out as Naruto pulled her up.

''Hang on...almost there...'' Naruto pulled her up and they all gave a breath of relief.

''Sir what do we do about the kids?''

''We'll have to take them with us and make them 'disappear.' It seems like the little setback brought some interesting results. Now we ave an entire branch of test subjects to take with us.

The man with M29 trained his gun at the group. ''You kids are going to have to come with us.''

'I guess it can't be helped.' Naruto thought as he prepared to attack.

The man with the gun found himself hit in the face by a large tabby cat.

"Great Work Pharaoh...You're my pet, after all-Nya...'' The students turned to see Professor Daitokuji pick up his cat.

"Who're you," the short man asked.

"If this goes public, you would be the embarrassed ones, wouldn't you? Not to mention conspiracy to kidnap five children, and animal cruelty as well," he kicked up the gun and caught it in his hand. "Leave now and never return or you'll find yourselves in a nice comfy cell.''

The man growled, but knowing that his hopes of winning were gone, he and the others left.

They removed Wheeler's equipment until he only had the duel disk left. He made his way to the other monkeys. "They all look so happy," Shou commented.

"Hey let's duel again sometime." Wheeler waved back at Naruto. "Yeah man...next time we'll see what you can do without the pressure.''

"It's a good thing you showed up Professor," Momoe said to Dai-sensei. "There's no telling what would have happened to us if Professor Daitokuji didn't show up right then.''

"Arigatou, Daitokuji-sensei."

"Please, say that to Pharaoh instead of me-nya..."

"But why were you looking for us to start with?" Narto asked.

"Well I wanted you to know that Manjoume is all right."

"Really?'' Damnit. I was hoping his ass got ate by a shark or something.

"But he's no longer on this island.'' Daitokuji led them to the docks. "To tell you the truth, I noticed it earlier, too. And so, I went to find Manjoume-Kun-nya...''

''Left on his family boat huh? Tch, that's ok he'll be back. If his pride is like what I suspect he won't rest until he beats both Misawa and I.''

The others acknowledge this with a nod.

''Uum Naruto...'' Junko started shyly.

''Yeah Makita-san?'' He asked as he was suddenly glomped by Junko.

Momoe, Asuka, and Shou's eyes widen in surprised at the girl's actions.

''Thank you Naruto-san...'' She hugged tighter. ''You saved my life and...''

''It's no problem Makita-san.''

''I take back everything I ever said. Osiris red or not you're a great guy. And call me Juno from now on ok?''

''Ok...'' He said as the girl let go and then kissed his cheek. She turned away to hide her blush.

''Well with that solve I guess we should get back to the school now! Asuka suddenly exclaimed. ''Come on Momoe, Junko...'' Asuka said going on ahead and not waiting for her friends response.

''Guess we have to go. See ya,'' Junko said taking one last glance at Naruto before leaving. It looked like each week new developments were popping up.

Omake

Manjoume, sitting on a couch, was in his room currently conversing with two older men through video phone call. The two older men were Manjoume's older brothers, Chosaku and Shouji.

"Hey, Jun!"

"Yes," Manjoume responded.

"You wouldn't be embarrassing our family would?''

''Nah, Nah, just are just rumors.''

''Seriously?''

''Yes seriously?''

''Seriously?'' The other brother asked.

''Oh don't start that again.''

''My hands have been so tied with my election campaign, and Shouji's as well with his banking settlements…" Chosaku said, "…that we haven't had the time to contact you, but…"

''Trust Company?'' But they' re my favorite band.''

''Then you better not lost then. ''

With that said, both brothers hung up.''Man this is bullshit!''

Shou cried out in surprise. "Oh, hey girls, what're you all doing out here?" Naruto asked.

"The same thing as you guys. Looking for Manjoume, who I have on good authority heard he stole some of my underwear," Asuka answered.

"Yes it was Manjoume,'' Naruto readily agreed.

# 1 ''Hey Kaiba this is Naruto...hey look man you need to spend some money on the academy. It's crap as far as Osiris Red and Ra Yellow go. You're hatred of Yatimu/Yugi needs to be over with man. You're like what? Fucking 40 or something. Come on man this one fat guy name Chumley keeps clogging up the Osiris Red toilet because you were too cheap and petty to give any dorm other then Obelisk decent plumbing, space, food budget, beds,...hell everything. So call me back you ass hole.''

# 2. ''Hey Kaiba Naruto again...are you being a hater because your wife finds me a sexy man? I mean come on you guys were real distant cousins. The bond was just because she was grateful your incarnation saved her. It's not my fault I'm a ladie's man and I'm confident enough to use my magnetism, comfortable in my person, and have a healthy appetite. Seriously though this is your school. If you can spend money to where holograms can smell you can buy Osiris red some decent plumbing.''

''Yeah whatever Chazz,'' Naruto responded.

''Damnit my name is Manjoume!''

Shou sighed, ''Give it up Manjoume-san. Once Aniki sets his mind on giving a person a nick name he doesn't relent.''

''Come on Chazz think about it. The Chazz rolls off the tongue much easier then The Manjoume.''

Manjoume thought about. ''Huh...Manjoume like the Chazz.''

Naruto burst out laughing, ''Dude...that's so gay Manjoume. That sounded so gay. Not that's there is anything wrong for playing on the other team.'

''Oh go fuck yourself Uzumaki.''

''Oh trust me it's not as fun as you think it would be. Especially the mental feedback.''

Manjoume and Shou at that time for the only time ever thought the same thing at the same moment. ''What the fuck?''
