5 YEARS AGO

A boy, young, at the age of 9, laughed joyfully as he chased a pigeon, his mother, embarrassed, chased after him as he ran around the bus station. He smiled gleefully as he picked up a feather the pigeon had dropped , "Momma, look! We can paint it so it looks like the Harpies Feather Duster card daddy made!" he laughed and waved it around, oblivious to the stares that people were giving him , he swished it at the mother, eyes twinkling "And now" He started dramatically"I can destroy all spells and traps you have on your field!" the several onlookers smiled, knowing the obvious reference to the popular card game, Duel Monsters. his mother groaned exasperately and picked him up, smiling as she did so.

"Now honey, don't be so loud remember? There's a lot of people around" He pouted

"But momma, they don't mind" he smiled as he tried to tickle his mother on the cheek with his newfound feather, his mother laughed and pushed it away.

"And" She continued "It should be known that a mature nine years old like you shouldn't be in your mother's arms now" she smiled teasingly.

"Oh, sorry momma" the boy stuck his tongue out, his volcanic black eyes glinted with humor. He wriggled out of his mother's arms and smiled bashfully, "Momma, let go see daddy now" he reached for his mother's hand.

His mother smiled and squeezed his hand gently, he wouldn't know of her condition, not yet, she laughed at the young boy as he stared at her with his black puppy dog eyes, it was obvious, he wanted to see if his dad had any new cards.

She nodded and led him through the crowds of tourists, occasionally pointing out how his father got ideas from the city to make into cards, laughing with him whenever he made a silly comment.

No, he didn't deserve to know what would happen to her in the future, so she brushed it out of her mind and focused on the happy aspects of the day.

"Inu, today you're gonna meet a new worker daddy hired, he's bringing his son, so why don't you both play with each other?" She looked at Inu, he looked back up and knew what she meant.

Make friends, don't cause trouble.

He stuck his tongue out, "Maybe" he smiled as she frowned slightly.

"Inu, please."

"Yeah yeah momma, whatever you say" Yup, she knew what he was gonna say next, it happened every time.

"But..." She sighed and smiled at him, he definitely was gonna ask.

"Momma, if I behave, can I get a card?" She grinned slightly, it was that obvious

"Yes dear, but play fair" she ruffled the boys hair with her free hand.

"But he might not even play Duel Monsters! How am I supposed to play" Inu whined, tugging at his mother's coat as he did so.

"Well then, do something else than stare at those cards for once, play tag!" She suggested

"In the building? But didn't you tell me not to mess around?" He grinned cheekily, she pulled his ear in response, "Ow! Momma! That hurt!"

"Of course it did" she muttered dryly "If he doesn't play Duel Monsters, you can teach him!"

Inu fell silent, his mother had a point, oh well, time to pull out his signature-terrible-excuse card.

"I didn't bring my deck"

His mother smiled at his attempt, "But your father brought it in because he wanted to add some new monsters" he pouted, shoulders sagging. "Yes momma, I will play fair, I will teach him how to play duel monsters, I will be nice" he grumbled.

His mother smiled "Good boy," she ruffled his hair again, he tried to swat her hand away.

"But can I get a card?" He dropped the feather he had been clutching to clasp his hands together as if he was in prayer, his mother laughed and tried to wriggle her hand out of the grip.

"Yes. Fine, but you have to act mature. Okay?" He nodded enthusiastically, they had arrived, a grand building with a double 'I' on the top, this was it, industrial illusions, the building, as they climbed the steps to the revolving doors, something struck Inu's head, an annoying question. "Momma," as they walked climbed the last few steps "What does mature mean?" His mother facepalmed and led him through the revolving doors, she shook her head slightly and beckoned him to a young boy with silvery hair who was admiring the artwork on the pearl white walls of industrial illusions. "I'll tell you later, look! There's you new play friend!" She gave him a light shove as she walked to the reception, Inu stumbled and almost tripped over in front of the young boy, now that he was Mitch closer, he could see him clearly, Grey hair, Grey eyes, a pink shirt over a grey T-shirt.

"Um... Hi!" He blurted out, the boy blinked and smiled rather tentatively, Inu replied with a full blown smile. "I'm Inusay Tenjo, nice to meet you!" He grinned (or what he thought was a grin, it could have looked like a serial killers face)

"Hi... My name is... Um..." The boy flushed in embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh yeah," he smiled and held out a hand "Aster, Aster Phoenix" Inu smiled and shook his hand rather too enthusiastically, maybe this Aster guy wouldn't be that bad, they would be friends, probably, he grinned at the slightly smaller grey haired boy, he could teach him duel monsters if he wanted! He slung an arm around the startled young boy and grinned at his mother who had just turned to them, he gave her a cheery wave and Aster did the same. His mother smiled, yes, they would be friends, she sighed at how hyperactive they both seemed at meeting each other.

At least she didn't have to give Inu a card.

Unknown to both of the young boys, the dropped feather danced in the air, twirling gracefully and twisting like a ballerina with a ribbon, before landing at a stop in a small puddle, inside a puddle at a park that was rather close to the Kaiba Dome.

PRESENT TIME

SPLASH

The boy cursed in annoyance and lifted his now sopping wet boot out of a puddle in the west entrance to Domino City Square Park, he shook his foot slightly and processed to walk, trying to ignore the squelching of his feet in the boots with every step. he looked around him and stared at the tall buildings and skyscrapers which surrounded him, with the sun positioned in the middle.

So this is where my Dad designed the Future Fusion card, he thought, his black eyes glittered and his Asian face scrunched up as he tried to readjust his sight as he turned back round. He wasn't exactly the 'Prettiest' his tanned face had a small mole on the side fof his forehead, but his Emo (Do not call him that!) haircut hid it from view and it hid his left eyes too, not to forget the now forming black eye he had from hitting himself in the eye with his suitcase (It wasn't his fault, it was... his cat) his black shirt was buttoned up unevenly so the stand up collar rose unevenly which caused an annoying itch (He can't just fix it in the middle of the public, can he?) his black jeans were sticking to his left foot from stepping into the puddle (His fault then...) his boots seemed too big for him (They were too big! He didn't have big feet!) his usually near perfect Emo (No! Not Emo!) hair was suffering a slight cowlick at the back which he attempted to smother with his hand and he wore a long black trench coat which reached his knees. His name was Inusay, as in, saying, In the U.S.A , without the 'The' of course. More like iiiiiinyousay, as in the way you'd say Ape. his second name was Tenjo, as in one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten-Joe, that was what his practically only friend called him.

It's been 5 years, he mused, lifting his suitcase over the damned puddle, and re-adjusting the strap of his bag on his back, he looked up, lifting the black fringe over his left eye for a moment as he stared at the sign that said 'Welcome!" he looked around, today was busy, tourists with cameras and carrying brochures about all the battle city landmarks. Today was a special day for him, it was his test to get into Duel Academy, yet he didn't feel right. Yeah, he had a one of the kind deck, but he felt... that he was still in the shadows of his best friend, who was already a pro-duellist, his friend had been a pro for a year now, always sending him sarcastic postcards from around the globe, really, Inu could have a whole box of them.

"Wish you could be here in America... Not"

"I hope you're enjoying the nice unpolluted air of Hawaii... Oh, I forgot, that's me"

"Merry Christmas! From North Pole! I found Santa first!"

"I hope you're bringing a jacket for Russia! Wait, I forgot to put you on the invites list"

He had been wallowing in his slight self pity so much he hadn't noticed that he'd reached the Kaiba Dome, he shook his head, Pathetic, he thought, Be happy for him, he drilled into his head.

He climbed the steps, wind blowing against him made it pretty hard to see straight, but he managed, walking forward where twi hand were parked and two female representatives sat down, adjusting their papers as if they were getting ready to leave, a man stood behind them, a security guard, probably, with his attire of a white shirt, Black trousers, black tie and black jacket, he looked like he had just popped out of a really bad spy movie.

Inu snorted and the female representatives stared at him questionably, he shook his head and muttered.

"Am I late?" The man checked his watch

"A few minutes, but you can still register, you're probably the last one, thats all girls, no shows are no shows"

"Wait!" A rather desperate and hysterical voice yelled out, In whipped round, either he was gonna go crazy or the railing was talking to them. "I'm no 'No Show'!" A hand reached up, scratched abd covered in twigs. A boy popped up, a cheerful face which was dotted with mud and decorated with leaves.

"You can count Jaden Yuki as present!" He pointed at himself before grinning uncertainly "That is... If I dont lose my grip here!" He grinned.

Inu walked over to the boy who said he was Jaden. "Need a hand?" He stared at him unsympathetically, the boy grinned and held his arm out. "Psych" Inu snorted and slapped the arm away before walking back, wow, Inu's mind spoke to himself, Major asshole, he ignored the boys pleas as he slowly sunk down.

He turned yet again and trudged to the boy, "Look, I'll help you up if you quit whining!" He scowled at the boy before holding an arm out.

"Thanks..." The boy reached but before he touched Inu, he smirked and slapped his hand away "Psych" he grinned cheekily, Inu had a murderous glint in his eye.

"Fine then," he jerked his arm back "Fall," he slowly, one by one, prised the boy's fingers from the cold railing. The boy's eyes widened before he started pleading. "No! Anything but that, I'm sorry! I'll do anything!"

Inu paused, "You'll do anything?" The boy nodded frantically "Anything, it took me so much to climb up here" he froze at what he just said.

"Good, there's one small thing you need to do." Thr boy's eyes lit up hopefully.

"Fall" he prised the last finger off, and the boy well, fell.

"No! I dont wanna die!" The boy fell down, praying to God that he'd make it to heaven.

"Get real" Inu snorted, "It's only one meter" the boy opened his eyes and blinked.

"Oh... Right" He grinned sheepishly "My names Jaden Yuki, what's yours?"

"None of your business"

"Okay then... But how am I supposed to get up again?" Jaden wailed.

Inu pointed to the left, where the stairs were, before whipping back round to walk back to the doors, the Representatives and the Security guard had long gone, leaving the doors open.

Inu stepped in, feeling the air conditioner blow against his face, he paused for a moment, maybe he would shut the door, after all, idiots like that guy didn't deserve a place in Duel Academy.

But something stopped him

Maybe the boy was alright, but was just suffering a stupid phase, maybe he might present a challenge to Inu.

Inu snorted, yeah, as if.

He walked on, leaving the doors open.

"Mr Crowler, we have two students still to come" A Security guard came in, informing the person called Dr Crowler.

"Are you kidding me? This is an outrage! They are required to be here on time! This is an insult to the school, heck, this is the greatest insult to Kaiba!" Dr Crowler froze in his fury before directing it at the guard. "And what did you call me?"

"Sorry, Mrs Crowler, im new here, please forgive me"

"It's Dr Crowler to you, you peasent! I have a PhD in Dueling so therefore that is my title" He added testily "And you can tell those slackers to come back next year, they can still stay in Duel Monsters Community College!"

"Sir, they have arrived" The Guard noticed the two standing there, the one with brown hair chatting to a blue haired pupil and the boy who had just passed his test, Bastion Misawa.

"Get. Them. OUT OF HERE" Crowler shrieked, a few nearby pupils turned to them before turning back round when Crowler gave them the evil eye.

"Sir, we can't, can't we just do it? There's only 2 of them left."

"Fine fine FINE" Crowler stamped on the ground impatiently, like a little kid, "I'll give these slackers what they deserve, a lesson if humility!" He grabbed his Duel Vest and marched down to the main court, these ignorant slackers were gonna get what was coming to them, oh yes indeed!

Jaden smiled at Bastion, he seemed like an alright guy, when a static sound emitted from the speaker's, finally, maybe it was his test!

"- ahem- Could Jaden Yuki and... -How do you say his name?... Of course, I knew that obviously- Inusay Tennis come to the main court" Jaden grinned, he bounded down the steps to thr courts. "Wait!" Bastion started, "If I'm second best, Who's first best then?" Jaden grinned "That would be-"

"Me," Inusay spoke up, "Your flimsy deck can't even shine a light on my deck, my deck is one of a kind, it's... Out if this world" He smiled slightly, as if he'd made a private joke.

Jaden regarded him weirdly "Okay then, but you wont be best for long!" He grinned at Inu, Inu merely scowled in response, he followed Jaden who had seemed a bit too over enthusiastic.

Inu unslung his bag and threw it at Bastion, who caught it with ease, he raised an eyebrow at Inu.

"Mind getting me my Duel disk?" He asked.

"Of course not! Get it yourself!" He retorted

"Please?" Bastion sighed, so far, Inu seemed like the kind if oerson to never say the word please, so he pulled it out.

My god, it was beautiful in a simplistic kind if way, it must have been custom designed.

Designed in a crescent pattern, it was colored black with a few intricate gold patterns on the side, but before Bastion could marvel at the artwork anymore, Inu snatched it out of his hands.

"My father designed it" He told Bastion "Don't scratch the paint" he grumbled before sliding it into his arm.

"It's not jewelry for God's sake" Inu snapped at him, who was still staring at it, grumbling, he stalked down, running his fingers over the Duel case nervously.

He stared down at his Duel case, his cards were beyond insane, as Maximilian Pegasus had given them to him when his mother had died from her heart condition, replacing his old deck, along with a few cards he claimed, that were calling out to him.

Inu had rolled his eyes at the man, staring at the black cards and the one remarkable word on them, Xyz.

There was no way cards could call out to him, that man, was admittedly brilliant but had been rather insane.

He had given him a small pack of Xyz cards, claiming they were from a future, and that Inu had to protect them from people called "Number Hunters" so that the world wouldn't end.

Back then, Inu had started laughing, there was no way this man was speaking the truth, he had rolled on the grass laughing his head off while Pegasus had regarded him strangely. But still, he had to keep it a secret, because Xyz Monsters were just a rumor, and to only bring them out in cases Inu would think "Extreme"

But he had to hand it to the man, he had excelled himself completely, he had given him some of thr most powerful cards in the world.

The Photon and Galaxy deck.

He was too busy thinking he didn't notice Jaden talking to the man and activating his Duel disk.

"Hey! Inu, wake up!" Jaden snapped his fingers in his face, Inu snapped out of his stupor.

"Right, Duel, okay" he activated his Duel disk, Jaden whistled at it, "And I thought mine was cool!

"As you can see Children, this will be a two on one, I will have 8000 Life points, and you both will have 4000, to minimize time wasted, you are both in a team." The man added smugly, Jaden shrugged and Inu stayed silent.

Crowler was pissed off, to be frank, there was a young kid, he was annoying with his cheerfulness, and the other was annoying too, with his brooding.

God, they were both annoying.

"You may call me Dr Crowler, I have a PhD in Dueling and several awards for being nomina-" his voice died down, staring at the one in a black trench coat, he froze.

The been haired boy was fishing out a stick of gum and then popped it in his mouth, chewing, he looked at Crowler expectantly.

THE NERVE! Crowler wanted to scream out loud, this slacker, being late, then the other being silent and annoying, then the brown haired rat chewing gum? The nerve! His head was gonna implode! The boy cocked his head at the man and said something, but Crowler didnt hear him, what else was he gonna do? Crowler's sarcastic question was answered.

The black haired boy frowned and yanked a phone out of his pocket, attempting to use it while having a Duel disk strapped to his arm, it proved ti be quite difficult. The brown haired boy grumbled and tapped his foot impatiently, Crowler activated his Duel Vest and drew five cards, then doing nothing as he kept his eyes on the two boy, he wouldnt let him step into the sacred Duel Academy! Never!

"Inu, hurry up!" Jaden snapped, Inu was arguing with someone on the phone,

In the middle of over 100 students, when he was supposed to be Dueling. Some students muttered amongst themselves, pointing and laughing.

"-Look, I dont care if you're in Mexico or anything, go Duel! I'm in a freaking exam!" Inu ranted, Jaden stared at Crowler and shrugged apologetically, he didnt notice though, he seemed shell shocked.

"Yeah yeah, go enjoy your Doritos" Inu snapped before flicking off his phone, however, he paused for a second and brought it back out "And no postcards!" He stuffed the phone in his pocket before straightening himself up and tried to look dignified in the crowd, someone booed at him., He ignored it and turned to Jaden

"Now, where were we?" He asked, "We were gonna duel" Jaden grinned at the prospect of the Duel, finally! Jaden could have a challenge!. Crowler shook his head before entering, attempting to look sophisticated.

"We know the rules?" Crowler repeated, They nodded

"Then Game on!"
