Chapter One- The Trail of Light, Pendulum Summon!

Hey guys! New story!

... Please don't kill me... I will keep doing my 5ds, i promise!

Basically, i think Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V is looking good, so i'm writing a fanfiction.

So, for every episode, there will be a chapter in Yuzu's POV.

Please review!

A traditional Japanese temple could be seen in the dim light, sakura blossom floating down. It was a perfect romantic image. It looked like a set from a romantic or period movie. You could almost feel the breeze on your skin, the smell of the flowers and the touch of the cool water under the bridge.

The sight was ruined slightly by the huge metal samurai, floating in mid air.

A duellist stood on the bridge, demanding his opponents next turn.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" a voice cries, in English. Suddenly, a pink hippo flies and lands perfectly on the roof.

I had been Yuya's friend for years. I don't remember meeting him. He's just always been there. All of my best memories have Yuya in them. Heck, my earliest memory was of Yuya, at my fifth birthday party, stuffing his face with cake and being violently sick.

I remember the day his father vanished. I remember the day Yuya picked up a deck, determined to be a great duelist, like his dad, and make everyone smile. I remember how i fully believed in him and learned how to duel to, determined to be by his side.

But now, I wasn't so sure.

"Play seriously!" I yell at the computer, as Yuya's hippo monsters started dancing.

We enrolled at You Show Duel School when we were seven. However, seeing as my dad was one of the teachers there, we didn't get much of a choice. Although we have fun there and we duel tons, it is a rundown dump and the Solid Vision for Action Duels keeps malfunctioning.

As I demonstrated, slamming my hands down on the keys in frustration. Sparks started flying up and then, it was all down. Great, I thought. Yuya desperately tries to swim in the air but he crashes to the ground and quickly recovers, pulling a stupid face.

Baka, I think, disgusted at the fact I'm trying to hold down giggles.

I turn to see my father having, yet another, panic. Shouting about broken machinery, funds, schooling, and students dropping out. He was probably disturbing people in the streets. He was kind at heart but his head was almost non-existent.

I stare at Yuya, who had pulled his goggles over his eyes. Was he crying? I was just about to throw my arm around his shoulder in comfort when he then complains about me breaking the machine.

"That's because you were goofing off!" I hiss, swatting at him. He jumps and crashes into Noburo, who looks less than amused.

"There's a huge difference between someone laughing with you and laughing at you!"

We were too busy bickering to notice a dodgy-looking guy slide into the room.

"Oh, it seems something is amiss in here," he wheezed, sliding in as if he owned the place.

When we did, we all stared suspiciously. He introduced himself as Nico Smiley, the 'manager-slash-promoter' of Strong Ishijima.

God, what a name, I think, as I glance over at my childhood friend. The name Strong Ishijima held bad memories for him, even now. However, this bimbo probably had no information of the story and he was babbling on about duels at a Fan Appreciation Day.

"Your wish from three years ago will come true!" he held up three fingers on both of his hands. Ok, so he did know about Yuya's father. Meaning this guy had a lot of nerve. Yuya wasn't on our wavelength. He was still remembering that day.

"The preparations are already complete!" Smiley slammed a poster onto the coffee table.

Then, my hot-headed father turned Mr. Smiley down. It was crazy. I had never seen my father refuse a duel from another school. That turned Nico Smiley's smile upside down.

"I won't let Yuya be your show pony!"

Then, Nico started smiling again. But this time, it was a smug one. I really wanted to wipe it off his disgusting face. He was already two steps ahead and he then explains that the newest Real Solid Vision System would be given to us for our co-operation. For free.

And my father caved like a pack of cards.

"What's important is what Yuya feels about it,"

We all turned to him, but he was gone.

Next thing I know, we're running to the Leo Duel School.

"Yuya…" I whimper.

Then, I forget about my worry for a second to slap my father over the head with my fan, as he starts dreaming out loud about the new system we would receive.

And then, the duel began.

p.s sorry if parts are a bit vague! I have to do quite a lot from memory!
