Zaira's p.o.v.

The bell rang and everyone was being to pack their things in the backpack. Zaira did that as well. However I sighed deeply. Not that school hasn't been fun. Actually I loved the classes. Every single one of them. I was apparently that kind of person who actually loved to learn. Despite my tough past.

"Okay students. Read the next chapter for homework" said Mr. Kay and began packing his things away too. I just nodded a little. I had to remember that.

"Hey Zaira" said a voice behind her. I turned around and saw Bronk and Tori behind me. I just smiled a little, but sighed deeply inside.

"So Yuma is still not showing to school?" asked Tori worried "He hasn't shown for the last three days".

I just nodded. I didn't want to tell them the reason why Yuma had skipped school. Since that duel with Kite, both Yuma and Astral had been down. I could understand them. I really could, but instead of me, who apparently couldn't get my soul stolen, Yuma and Astral would both have disappeared. That the reason they were down. I was of course also down, but more worried, that I had these strange powers. I was not happy about losing either of course.

"So we decided to walk you home" Bronk said and smiled "Then we could also visit Yuma and cheer him up or something. I don't know what have been bothering him, but what friend am I, if I let my friends hanging".

I smiled and agreed, but deep inside my mind, I was wondering. I did let my friends down. I let the deck down. Cy had showed rarely around me. I was wondering if it didn't like me any more?

"Yeah sure, Yuma need some cheering on" I said and was thinking a little "And so does Astral". 

We all walked towards me and Yuma's home. We found Yuma in his room staring out in the blue. He was not even dressed and was sitting on my bed. I looked at Tori and Bronk and smiled a little.

"If you will excuse me for a moment" I said and walked into the room and slammed the door. Then I grabbed Yuma and shook him like hell. Yuma looked really surprised at me. Astral was not even looking at us of course.

"Wah, ah, ah!" said Yuma when I shook him "Zai wha are you doing?". I sneered.

"I am shaking some sense into you!" I said angry "Stop being depressed. Where is your feel the flow?". Yuma looked at me and sighed.

"But I lost, I couldn't do a thing against Kite" Yuma said "He is a whole different league than me". I sneered and shook him some more.

"You lost. Okay I get it!" I screamed "But something seriously needs to change here. You have been so depressed lately. It was just a duel". Yuma sighed a little.

"It was not just a duel" Astral said suddenly "If we had lost, Yuma's soul would vanish and I will disappear". I looked at Astral and sighed.

"I know that" I said "I lost as well, but you can't hang around being depressed. That changes nothing. You two got to keep going". Yuma smiled a little.

"Yeah. We have to be ready" he said "Kite will eventually. We got to be ready".

"I know that" Astral said and sighed "And what if we are not". I sighed a little.

"Then he had at least done our best" I said. Astral looked at me for a moment and smiled a little. Then he sighed again.

"Well you have no worry, because your soul is safe" He said "But I feel some aggressivity from you as well. You are as scared of Kite as we are. You are down as well, but you are just not showing it".

I sighed deeply. Darn that observed Astral! I was about to say something, when someone was knocking at the door.

"Um Zaira, how long are you gonna make us wait" Bronk said and walked in, followed by Tori. I smiled a little.

"Um sorry about that. I just have to shake Yuma a little" I said. Yuma smiled.

"And it totally worked" Yuma said, but I had a feeling he was still down.

Tori and Bronk had brought a mini pc in here, and was showing a news report to something called a duel carnival. It was suppose to be this awesome tournament, with duelists all over the world. It was apparently taking place here in heartland city. Normally Yuma would be psyched out or something, but he was just staring at the screen. He had a scared look on his face. I had a feeling I knew what it was. He had a feeling Kite might show there, and I think he was right. Bronk was about to say something, when suddenly the door to the room opened and Grandma Haru walked in carrying two giant bags. It was stuffed with food. She placed one in front of me and one at Yuma. Then she smiled. She looked at both of us!

"Yuma. Zaira" She said in a sweet voice "I need you to deliver these two bags to an old friend of mine, who lives out town. Can you do it?". I sighed and snort.

"I have other stuff to do" I said and Yuma nodded as well.

"And that bag looks really heavy" Yuma added "Its friday. We have weekend". Suddenly Haru's face looked cold and angry at us. I just snort. I was not afraid.

"Where is my beloved two grandchildren who would do anything for me" Haru said.

"I.. um I am right here" said Yuma and gulped. I just snort.

"Well I am not going with such a heavy bag" I just said. Haru looked coldly at me. Before she could do a thing, Yuma had grabbed my arm and whispered into my ears.

"I.. I think its a good thing to do what grandma tells you Zaira" He said "She can be very scary and dangerous if you refuge. Then she will make us do worse things. Please agree. ".

He had begging puppy eyes at me. I sighed deeply. Since when had Yuma irresistible puppy eyes. In the end we decided to take these darn bags and walk to whatever that stupid place out of town was, and Tori and Bronk followed.

Time skip.

Okay I was beat. This was not fair at all. When grandma said out of town, she really mean out of town. We, me and Yuma had to walk up some long, and I mean really long stairway out of town. Who in the world lives up at top? I wondered. Astral was sulking at Yuma's backpack. He was still down. We reached the platform. Tori and Bronk was out of breath. Secondly there were more stairs to climb and Yuma and I fell exhausted.

"I can't take it!" yelled Yuma "I can't go on!". I nodded in agreement.

"Well look at this Yuma" said Bronk "If you quit now, you two has to take that back all the way back". I looked in horror. Yuma was quickly on his feets now.

"You are right!" He said determined "I can't quit. I just have to feel the flow. Come sis".

And before I could do a thing, like complaining about being called sis, Yuma rushed up the stairs with me tagged along. My feet just had to keep up. We arrived at the top. I was out of breath, but I was looking around. A house, who looked like a giant temple of some sort. It had statues around at the main entrance. Yuma and I looked at each other and walked over to the door and entered the house.

"Special delivery!" yelled Yuma and looked around.

So did I. Suddenly I could hear Yuma scream up. He was running like hell.

"Ah... a monkey!" He yelled "A monkey in my bag!".

I felt suddenly extra weight in my bag. Then I fell to the ground and felt the bag being taken away from me. A girl with baby blue sky hair, placed in a long pony tail was staring at me, and smiling like hell. She was wearing creamy brown temple clothes and geta sandals. (here is the picture: ). Yuma was still out of it, running around and didn't notice a thing. Tori and Bronk arrived and we found out, the monkey as Yuma called it, actually was a old man.

"Hey master" said the blue haired girl "They have dipping sauce in this one".

"Oh really?" the old man said "Then you know what to do Haku". The girl bowed.

"Yes master" and then she rushed off in some... maybe even a half minute only.. and was holding a tray with bowls. She began putting the sauce in there. 5 minutes later the girl and the old man ate like hell. I was surprised how fast they were. When they finally was finished. (the girl has rushed out somewhere), Roku was sitting on the floor rubbing his stomach. He was looking at us all. I had a feeling he was looking at me as well. I sighed a little.

"Thanks for the food children" He said and belched "Say thanks to Haru as well". I looked surprised at him. He knew grandma?

"Oh my god you are duelists" said a voice suddenly and the girl from before rushes over to them. She was shaking everyone's hand while talking like hell, and she was not sitting still for a moment.

"It is so good to meet you. I am Haku. I am a duelist too. I love to duel. I can't get enough. I hope we can all be friends. I am just so excited now" The last part she said when she was holding my hand. She had a dreaming happy look on her face. Suddenly the trey got slammed in the girls head and she fell on the ground, rubbing her head. The old man sighed.

"Haku! What have I told you time after time!" He said angry "You need to relax!".

"Yes master" she said and was sitting relaxing at the floor in two minutes. Then she rushed up and began leaving the room.

"I am gonna make some tea" Haku said and left the room real quickly. The old man sighed deeply and was rubbing his head a little.

"That girl never seems to relax, Hu she is giving me a headache" The old man said.

"Um you are okay old timer?" Yuma asked worried. The old man sneered.

"Old timer. My name is Roku. But you can all call me Master Roku" He said.

"Master Roku?" we all said in unison. The old man nodded and grinned.

"Yes" He said "You all have to stay here tonight as well. You missed the last bus by an hour ago".

We all looked at each other. Haku was rushing inside the room and gave all a cup of tea. Then she, surprisingly enough sat down on the floor, and drank a little. Roku sighed a little.

"Take your time drinking that Haku" Roku said "Tell me what do you see in our new guests?". Haku drank a little and looked at them all.

"Two of them have problems" She stated "I smell fear and distrust in here". I had a feeling she was looking at Yuma and me. I sneered.

"What does that mean?" I said "What problem?". Haku grinned a little.

"Master I think she feels that we accuse her" Haku said "She is the one with trust issues. Then the boy will be the one with fear". Yuma sneered coldly.

"I am not afraid of anything!" He yelled. However he had a scared look in his face.

"I didn't say a thing" Roku said and smirked "But I think we will go now Haku. You can prepare the one part". Haku nodded. She drank the rest of the tea and rushed quickly away. Roku coughed a little.

"Now then. I will have you 4 to clean this room for me" He said and smirked. "Your grandma told me in her note, that you will do anything for me. She is not a liar is she?". Yuma sneered angry.

"Of course not" He said. I facepalmed. Now we have to clean as well.

Time skip.

Tori and Bronk began cleaning. I was not interested and was leaning toward a door. That door Roku walked into a minute ago with the girl. Yuma was supposed to sweep the floor, but he was just moving it a little sometimes, and was stating it was defect. Tori was looking angry at us, for not helping at all. I just shrugged. I had done enough for today I think. Yuma just sighed. I leaned a little more at the door and was leaning at the doorknob as well. Which caused the door to open and I fell into some weird room. I looked stunned around. Yuma and the others followed me. Mostly because they was making sure I was okay. However they also looked around stunned. We were in a giant round room. There were statues made out wood, placed around in a circle surrounded us with their awesomeness. It was duel monsters, who all had their time in history. Dark magician and girl in wood. Neos. Stardust dragon. And many more. All monsters who had been used by heroes in the past. A grinning voice was emerging from somewhere and Roku walked out of the shadows. On a wooden beam close at the roof was Haku sitting. She was swinging around a lot. I sighed. That girl really couldn't stay still.

"Glad you all liked them" Roku said and smiled "I made them. I placed my heart and soul into them. This place is a duel sanctuary. It is a training ground for duelists, so they can master their skills".

I looked surprised at the old man. This was a training ground. So grandma sent us here so we could face our problems! Suddenly the blue girl Haku was standing near me and she was searching around on my body. It was actually tickling a lot. Then she was suddenly holding my deck. I was looking in horror. This was not a good idea at all.

"Lets see what deck, miss issue girls has" she said happily. However some seconds later. She screamed up and fell on the ground. She dropped the deck.

"Aw, Aw, Aw. I got... the deck. It bit me!" She looked shocked. (note: if you touch Zaira's deck, it is like you a touching a angry wolf) Roku slammed her into the head with a fist and shook his head.

"Haku! You're impatient girl! How many times have I told you? Relax and be polite. You can't just take someone's deck without permission" Roku said and walked over to the deck.

He took a card up in his hand. I was about to warn him, but Roku placed the card on the ground again. Then he smiled.

"Oh a wolf deck eh" He said and grinned "And a protective one of that. Sorry about my student. She took you all without permission. However please let me pick you up and bring you to your master, and let me have a look at you. So I can help her. You know her problem right".

Roku bowed down and took up the cards, surprisingly they didn't bite him at all. He looked through the cards and walked over to me with the deck and gave it back. I was really surprised.

"You have a really bond here" He said "A shame you don't think that yourself. We have to change that. Haku, make another room ready for challenge 12 and take issue girl with you". I sneered angry at him.

"My name is Zaira" I said, but suddenly a hand had grabbed my arm.

"Come Zaira" said Haku and rushed out off the room, with me tagging along.

Yuma's p.o.v.

Yuma looked after Zaira, when Haku rushed away with his sister. Or Zaira but in his eyes, she was his sister. Yuma looked scared at Roku.

"Where are you talking Zaira?" He asked. Roku smiled.

"No need to worry" He said "You will see her again. However what about a duel".

Yuma looked a little confused at him. A duel. Then he would lose again and maybe his soul. Yuma shook his head a little. Wait that old man was not Kite. He looked at Roku again. He had no deck or duel disk on. How was they gonna duel?

"Sure um Roku, but you don't have a deck?" Yuma said. Roku smiled.

"I don't need one. I will use the statues" He said and grinned a little.

"But statues can't move" Tori said confused "So how can you duel?". Roku grinned.

"But they can. Wanna see?" He asked. Yuma smiling eagerly.

"Yeah. Could be awesome" Yuma said.

After some minutes with preparing,Yuma was standing in front of Roku and dueling with a wood trainings deck. He was using the statues "Blue eyes" and "Red eyes" dragons and Yuma had the dark magician team on his. With Astral's help Yuma activated the "Statue stone" field spell and woke the statue's to life. Yuma destroyed "Red eyes" with dark magician. He was thrilled to have moved a legendary monster. Roku smiled. He did something and suddenly Yuma was inside Dark magician. Feeling his fear and realised that monsters also had fears. Then Roku used polymerization and got "Blue eyes ultimate dragon". He destroyed Dark magician girl and Yuma could feel the pain of losing a comrade. Then he used "De- fusion" and got his three dragon back. He destroyed "Dark magician" alias Yuma and he won the duel. Yuma looked shocked at the ground.

"I could feel the monsters fear" He said "I thought monsters couldn't get afraid, but that's not true". Roku nodded a little.

"Monsters has to face their fear every time we battle. They have to confront it. We and the monsters are no different. When you finally can make that fear your own, then you are truly ready to move a monster" Roku said and smiled "To play a monster in the right way". Yuma looked surprised and then he nodded. He had a feeling he understood it. Roku sighed deeply now.

"So lets see how well your sister does" Roku said "Her problems with trust are a little deeper than your fear. I hope she can figure it out".

Yuma got up on his feets. He knew Zaira still had trust issues. She barely trusts him, and Shark, but then she lost to Kite. Because she lost her first duel, she lost her trust slowly in herself and her deck. She had not opened up to him and Astral at all. Only said that she lost and that Kite didn't steal her soul. How she was feeling about this was shut tightly.

"If someone can do this, It is Zaira" Yuma said and smiled "I believe in her. She will beat her problem. Just you all wait".

Zaira's p.o.v.

We was standing outside actually. Apparently when Roku meant a room, he meant outside. I was amazed by Haku. The girl could lift these wood statues like they were not heavy at all. Maybe she had some magic or something? However she had created a duel field and placed two statues in front of her. Two monsters I only had heard about in legends. "Rainbow dragon" wielded by Jesse anderson in the past and "Cyber dragon" wielded by Zane Truesdale. I had no idea why she chose these monsters, but apparently I should only use my own deck. Haku told me this was a duel of trust. I had no idea what she was talking about? However she said this duel had some rules. Apparently, when it was my turn, I had to summon two XYZ monster to the field or I would take 1000 points of damage. Secondly I only had 2000 life points and she had 4000. Whats up with that? However I was not gonna back down. Haku started off. She played the "Statue stone" field spell card, and broke the seal on the statues, Rainbow dragon and Cyber dragon came alive. Then she placed a facedown and ended her turn. I looked at her and drew. So I should summon two XYZ monsters ehh. I played the spell "Double summon". I could summon twice this turn. I summoned "Wolf kid" and since I did, I could summon "Beast wolf". Haku got slammed with 500 points of damage. Then I overlayed them and summoned "Cy" to the field. It sounded angry. It looked at me, then at Haku, however it didn't said a thing. I sighed. Was Cy really angry or maybe it didn't trust me any more because we lost? However I still had to summon another XYZ monster. I summon the monster "Wolf" to the field. It was a lv 3, and with the the spell "Two for one". If I and and my opponent had equal monsters on the field, I was allowed to summon another monster who has the same lv as one of the monsters on the field. I got my "Sleeping wolf" to the field. I overlayed them and got "Wolfman" to the field. He looked at me as well and snort a little. Then he grinned

"Well well" He said and smiled "The girl who couldn't keep her hands off us. Grr". I was a little stunned and at first didn't know what to say. My monsters were angry at Haku I think. Suddenly Haku was bowing.

"I am sorry" she said "Master Roku tells me that I was too impatient. I can feel angry vibes towards me. The monsters are angry. It was never my intention not to ask first. Please forgive me. I am only helping your wielder Zaira. Please let me".

"Wolfman. Please forgive the child. She was not hurting Zaira" Cy said and smirked. I looked really confused at Cy. She was smiling.

"Cy. You're not angry at me?" I asked. Cy just grinned a little.

"Of course not mistress" it said "Why do you think that?". I sighed a little.

"I lost the duel. You didn't talk to me for a while" I said. Cy sighed a little.

"It was not Cy's fault" said Wolfman and sneered "You shut us out Zaira. You closed your heart after you lost. You were afraid of your feelings. Your trust in us did crumple". I was surprised. Haku grinned suddenly.

"I can feel it" she said and clapped in her hands "You are beginning to understand it. However we are dueling Zaira, so are you just gonna stand there". I sneered a little.

"Of course not" I said and continued the duel. I used sleeping wolf's eff. It cut rainbows dragon's eff in half. (4000-2000). Then I used wolfman's eff. It got 500 points stronger and rainbow dragon 500 weaker. I destroyed rainbow dragon with Wolfman and got 500 more life points. I was about to attack with Cy when Haku activated the trap "Shield attack". It shielded a monster if she only had one monster on her field. However it only was active for a turn. I sneered and ended my turn.

"Very good" said Haku said and was dancing around eagerly. Then she smiled "But you attacked the wrong monster. However first you need to gain trust to your deck and others again. I am sorry dear wolf deck. I will do something to Zaira, but please let me. I am only helping her so you can show her the bond".

Then she began chanting and was dancing around with some moves. She was also saying something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Suddenly I felt weird. I couldn't move.

"Beast from her deck, lets make a switch" Said Haku and pointed at Cy "I feel most connection with You!".

She pointed at Cy. Suddenly I felt like I was dragging towards Cy. I let out a scream. Then suddenly a bright light appeared. When I woke up I felt weird. I felt like I was tied down and my body structure was weird as well. The monsters on the duel field were suddenly closer.

"Well thats interesting" said a voice suddenly and I saw wolfman beside me. Wait beside me. I lifted a hand or in this case a paw and saw a chain on my.. wait paw? I was inside Cy! I couldn't believe it. Wolfman smirked.

"Well welcome to the fight Zaira" Wolfman grinned "Oh and the best part, Cy is apparently dueling now. That is certainly interesting". Wait what? Cy was dueling?! I turned my head and saw my body at the duel field. However Cy's spirit was shown in the background. Haku had switched our spirits.

"Well its my turn" said Haku "I use polymerization and fuses my 3 cyber dragons to summon "Cyber end dragon" to the field". I looked in horror when the giant cyber dragon was shown on Haku's field. It was so strong. I was actually scared.

"Don't worry Zaira" Said wolfman and grinned "You just have to trust Cy. It will protect us. I trust it. What about you Zaira?". I was stunned. Trust? Trust in Cy? Trust in myself and my deck. That was, what I had been lacking. Trust I have never for real trusted anyone. I trust people to a certain point, but not 100 percent. It was the same with my deck. I could have maybe won against Kite as well, if I trusted in Cy and had used her Ou. But I was doubting it. Wanted to save that Ou. But I lost my chance. Haku attacked with her dragon at Wolfman. I was really scared now. Wolfman was on the other hand, calm as he could be. He trusted Cy.

"Mistress. Activate your ability" Cy said and removed a Ou.

I could stop two attack this round. I can tell you it is weird eating a Ou, just so you know. I stopped the attack. Haku smiled. She used the quick spell "Power down". When an attack is stopped, the monsters on the field who didn't get attacked, loses 1000 att. Then she played de-fusion. She had 3 cyber dragon's on the field. She attacked with the 3 dragon's, Cy removed a Ou again and shielded us for all three attacks. We were safe for now. Haku grinned a little. She was holding one card. It was the quick spell "Instant Fusion". She got "Cyber end dragon" back again. We had no Ou left. She attacked me with her dragon.

"Zaira!" yelled Wolfman and kicked me out of harms way.

He got hit instead, but I was out of life points so I lost the duel anyway. 5 seconds I was back in my body and was lying at the ground. Totally surprised. Wolfman and Cy's cards fell on the ground now. I quickly catched them. I sighed relived! Even through we lost, I wasn't scared. I knew my deck would protect me.

"Mistress. I am sorry" Began Cy "I didn't win. It is really weird dueling". I smiled.

"No, You two have nothing to apologize for" I said and sighed "I am the one. I couldn't open up and tell you my feelings. I was afraid of rejection, but in the end I rejected my deck. I lost yes, but I am okay with now. As long as I trust in you and my friends". I sighed deeply. This was gonna be a lot of work.

"Well you get it" Haku said and grinned "You just need to trust, then everything will go smoother. I think you will duel to your fullest now". Haku was standing beside me now and smiling a lot. I got up on my feets.

"I think I will stay here for a while" I said "I think I can learn something".

"Yeah. We can be room mates!" yelled Haku happily and grabbed my hand and rushed inside. I was or had to tag along. I still had to get used to Haku.

Haku's p.o.v.

Time skip.

A day passes. Yuma and Zaira both decided to spend the weekend here. Roku was strict and made the two children Zaira and Yuma, clean the whole sanctuary. However now they both didn't mind and Haku saw how eager they were to learn. She on the other hand was cleaning outside, making food, running around the house for fun (Roku needed her to do something), dueling the statues, making her deck. Well lets just say, Haku was never sitting still, besides when she drank a cup of tea, which was the only thing that made her relax. Right now she was sweeping outside the sanctuary. She was in a really good mood, humming and sweeping really fast. However suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. Someone was walking up the stairs to this place. She turned around and saw a boy. A boy with two colored hair. Blue and black. He was dressed in a ninja outfit. Haku looked really surprised. Then a happy grin was shown on her face and she rushed over to the boy. She knew him quite well. It was Kaze. Her sibling student who suddenly just vanished one day. Roku told her that he was on a trip, and that she shouldn't expect him to be back again. Haku had always considered Kaze as her friend. They both arrived here at Master Roku's sanctuary. They both had seeked answers and they both had traveled together to come to the sanctuary to train. Haku couldn't quite remember when they actually meet each other, but she didn't care. She was happy, that he was back.

"Kaze!" she yelled happily and actually hugged him for some seconds "You're back. Master Roku said you were on a trip. So how was it? Did you learn something new? I am so happy you are back. It has been lonely without you".

Kaze snort a little. Haku stopped up. Something was not what it should be. She was getting some weird vibes from him. Kaze was actually glaring at her now. It scared Haku a little.

"So you stayed Haku" He said coldly "Why? That old fool can't teach anything".

"What do you mean Kaze?" asked Haku confused "Master Roku is awesome. He has taught me to control my powers. You know them who resembles a Miko's (japanese shrine girl)". Kaze snort coldly. Haku was looking worried at him.

"Haku! Get away from him my girl!" yelled a voice suddenly. Haku turned around and saw Roku behind her. He looked angry for some reason. Haku was confused.

"Um who master? There is not bad guys here. It is only Kaze" She replied.

Suddenly she felt someone had grabbed her in the collar of her clothes and lifted her up. She looked surprised up and saw it was Kaze. He sneered.

"You are in the way Haku" He said coldly "Now begone!".

Then he tossed her away. She slammed into a tree with her back. Haku let out a groan. It hurt pretty badly. She was really shocked that her friend had done this. It was not like Kaze.

"Haku!" yelled Roku. Kaze only snort coldly.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about her Master". He said coldly "As you can see, I have returned. I am here for the legendary deck". Roku sneered.

"Well I never thought you return. I kicked you out after all" Roku said angry "And if you want to get the deck, you have to go through me". Kaze smirked.

"Well that won't be a problem" He said and activated the duel disk. A duel began.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I was cleaning. Cleaning more than I ever did in my life and I actually didn't care. Seeing all these monsters from legendary duelists was just so awesome. Like flame swordsman or stardust dragon or Neos. I could go on! I knew Master Roku was looking at us from time to time. And Yes I considered Roku my master. I understood why Haku was respecting him so much. Suddenly I could hear Yuma yell up. I walked over to him.

"What's wrong Yuma?" I asked. Yuma sighed a little and pointed at the statue he apparently was cleaning.

"Look at this statue. It looks like someone just cut through it" He said in a sad voice "It's makes me sad. Who could have done such a thing?".

I bowed down and saw a wound on the monster. I was sad as well. Suddenly the door flew open to the room. Yuma and me turned around. A creepy samurai guy walked in. He was looking around for something. Yuma walked over to him.

"Um can I help you with something?" He asked. The guy snort coldly.

"And who in the world are you two?" He asked. Yuma looked at that guy. He looked cold and angry. I was not sure he was a nice guy.

"Yuma, Zaira!" yelled Roku suddenly from the door. He was supported by Tori, Bronk and Haku. Both Haku and Roku didn't look good. "Get away from him!".

"Um who is he?" asked Yuma and walked backwards towards me. I sneered. Cy appeared behind me now. It sneered as well.

"Mistress be careful" it said "He... I think he has a number". I sighed deeply.

"He is Kaze  A former pupil of mine" Roku said angry. Kaze snort coldly.

"I am the master now, so Roku, Where's the deck?" Kaza said coldly. Roku snort.

"I think I accidentally tossed it away. You are never gonna get it." He said.

Kaze sneered. He told us he was just gonna destroy everything with his sword then. I looked in horror. So did Yuma. We both jumped up on him and tried to stop him from destroying the statues. I knew how fond Roku was for them. He tossed us both to the ground. Yuma landed on top of me again. Air got kicked out of my lungs.

"Move away brats! This does not concern you!" He said. Yuma was quickly up on his feets. He looked angry at Kaze.

"This does concern me, because Roku is my master!" Yuma yelled. Kaze snort and looked at master Roku.

"So taking even more pupils now? Wasn't Haku enough for you?" Kaze questioned. In the end Yuma challenged Kaze to a duel, to protect the deck and the sanctuary.

"Lets do this Yuma" Astral said. Apparently he was not depressed any longer.

"Hey you are forgetting me" I said and got up from the floor "I am his pupil too". Yuma and Astral both looked at me and smiled.

Time skipping the duel.

This duel was breath taking. Yuma fought and swore to protect his monsters. Just like Cy protected me in the duel. Kaze on the other hand. He had nothing against sacrificing his monsters, to archive his goals. It actually made my heart ache. If I had lost the trust in Cy and the others, would I be like Kaze? That thought haunted me a little. Kaze summoned his ultimate monster "Nb 12 crimson armor shadow ninja". Apparently it was this monster, who controlled Kaze and made his heart getting filled with even more darkness. However Yuma and Astral beat him with Utopia. In the middle of the duel grandma and Kairi appeared. Yuma was terrified of Kairi. Apparently he wasn't allowed to duel. However after this duel Kairi gave both permission to duel. I was really happy. So was Yuma.

"Yeah. Did you hear that sis?" He yelled "We are gonna have some awesome duels".

"Don't call me sis!" I sneered at him and slammed his head. However suddenly Kaze was on his feets. He had grabbed his sword and was about to cut the wood statue with the wound on. However Haku was standing in front of him.

Haku's p.o.v.

Haku was standing in front of Kaze. Her friend. He would still be her friend despite he had attacked Roku's wood statues. Master Roku had told her what had happened. Haku always knew Kaze had anger issues, and she didn't care. She stayed his loyal friend. Kaze had swung the blade at the wood statue, but had stopped up, when Haku was standing in front of him. He sneered angry.

"Move Haku!" He yelled. The girl shook his head.

"I don't know why you are so angry Kaze, but slicing this statue won't help at all" Haku said and looked at him. Kaze sneered.

"Move! I am gonna destroy it!" He said "Or do I have to hurt you?". Haku sighed.

"You have forgotten our promise didn't you?" she asked and looked at him with sad eyes "You promised you will learn to control your anger. I promised to learn to control my powers remember?". Kaze looked at her for a moment.

"Don't you remember how we meet" Haku said "Please remember". A bright light appeared around Haku and it developed them all.

Flashback. Years before they arrived at the sanctuary.

Kaze was walking through a forest who was placed around a little village. He was on his way to the famous Sanctuary. He wanted to find a new path. One without betrayal and dishonesty. He was walking quietly through the forest when he heard a scream. Kaze rushed over towards the sound and saw.. Three children tossing stones at a young girl. Properly his age or around it.

"Go away your monster!" yelled the children "We don't need you here!".

The girl has shielded herself with her arms to protect herself. However Kaze had a feeling the rock hurt a lot still. He rushed out towards the children. 

"Hey what are you doing?!" He yelled "Stop this at once!".

The children sneered and rushed off somewhere. Kaze looked at the girl. She had blue hair and green eyes and she was looking at him. She had a confused look in her eyes. 

"Are you okay?" He asked the girl nodded and then smiled brightly.

"Oh I am fine alright. You did save me after all" She said, smiled and took his hand "I am Haku. I have never seen you around here. Are you new? Oh I forgot I was about to find berries in the woods".

She was about to leave when Kaze grabbed her hand.

"Hey! How in the world can you be so happy and go on. You just got slammed with a lot of stones?!" He asked confused. The girl turned around and looked at him.

"You mean the kids? Well that is no big deal. They are always doing that" She said and smiled "But this time you saved me. So thank you". Haku bowed. 

"Um you are welcome" said Kaze confused and wondered why she was not angry "But why were they slamming you with stones?". Haku smiled a sad smile. 

"You heard them didn't you!" She asked and sighed "I am a monster. I have these weird powers, but can't control them. I accidently send a demon or monster on the village. Well the least I can do, is being tossed stone at me". Kaze looked surprised at her. 

"What about you?" asked Haku suddenly "I feel something weird from you. I think you have a problem".

Kaze looked at her, but then he sighed. He had no idea why he opened up to her. Maybe because they have a similar past. He got betrayed by his friends and well he thought he could never trust any again. This girl was also all alone. 

"Oh" said Haku and was jumping happily around him "No friends eh. Well I can be your friend. If you want to be that with a monster of course".

She smiled. Kaze looked at her. How in the world could she be so happy on going, when people treated her as a monster. 

"You are not a monster" He stated "You say you have weird powers. What about you coming with me? I am going to a sanctuary. So I can find my right path, maybe you can as well?". Haku looked at him and then looked down at the floor. 

"Nice thought but you don't understand. This village has a shield that makes my power less a threat. If I leave there is a big chance I would release a monster or other stuff" Haku said and actually sounded sad. Kaze looked at her.

 "You are afraid of your power eh?" He questioned "Well I am afraid of leaching out in anger. If I gets too angry I could hurt someone". Haku actually grinned. 

"Yes I know. But I am not afraid. You seem like a good person" Haku said and was dancing around. Kaze wondered where she gets all that energy. Then a idea hit him.

"What about this then? We will journey together to this sanctuary. I will take care of every monster you accidentally summon and you stop me if I lose my temper. We will both learn how to control ourselves" Kaze said. The girl looked at him. Then she smiled.

"Is that a promise?" she asked and was holding a hand towards her. Kaze nodded and took her hand. He actually smiled. 

"Yeah It is a promise!".

The bright light disappeared and Kaze dropped his sword. He looked shocked at Haku. Then he fell down on his knees. 

"I..I am sorry Haku. I... I forgot.. I" He said "I was blinded by anger. I dueled Roku and because I lost, I listened to my rage and attacked the statue". He closed his eyes. Haku bowed down and hugged him. Kaze looked surprised at her.

"I have missed my friend" Haku said and grinned "I has been lonely. I had no one to duel. I had not much to do. I normally clean up after you when you break something in rage. Like the bowls, but even so Kaze, You are my friend. We had also fun here". Kaze nodded. He got up and turned towards Roku. Then bowed. 

"I am sorry Master" he said "Please give me another change". Roku grinned. 

"Sure. I need someone to take care of that hyperkinetic child there" He pointed a Haku. She only grinned a little. Then she grabbed Kaze's hand and began running. 

"Come Kaze. Lets duel. I have missed dueling against you" then both of them left the sanctuary.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I looked after Haku and Kaze. They were gonna have a lot of fun. I looked at Yuma.

"Let's duel when we come home Yuma" I said. Yuma's face lit up.

"For real" He said "I am so gonna beat you". Astral sighed deeply. I grinned.

"Dream on Kiddo" I said "Me and my wolfs are not gonna lose now".

We began leaving the sanctuary. However before we left. Yuma got the legendary deck from Roku, so he could participate in the duel carnival. Roku also gave me two cards as well. Two spells "Ritual art summoning" and "Full moon reflection". Then we all began leaving.

Astral's p.o.v.

Astral looked at Zaira and Yuma, then they began walking down the stairs from the temple. They had both got their confidence back. That was a good thing. They needed that, when they were gonna face Kite again. Astral sighed. He still needed that though. He sighed and followed Yuma and Zaira.

A,N: Well that was that. Hoped you liked it. As for the next one. We have the one with the fortune teller. Let you in on a little secret. A memory with Zaira and Astral are gonna be revealed in the next chapter.
