A,N: I am so sorry. So sorry for late update. I can't tell you how sorry I am. Sadly, I had been having a terrible depression and for that I didn't find a reason to write. Let's just say this is a long break for me instead then lol. I am sadly not fully up to date and I also don't think there will be any structure in my updates at all. But I will update at some point. But for my late absence I have at least made a real action filled chapter. There happens so much at the fair that I had to split it in three parts. So hope you have fun reading.

Normal p.o.v.

In the meantime.

"Ahr those caramel noddle's are outstanding!" Yuma uttered as he stuffed his face with the food he just had brought.

Ray just sighed deeply as Yuma stopped at another stand to buy some octopus ball. Yuma had been eating none stop since he found all the food stands and it was driving Ray a little crazy. Only good thing that had given him was that Dumon hadn't had a chance to do a move on them. That and he hadn't seen his human form that often. Ray just hoped Dumon didn't recognize him or there would be trouble. Not that Ray minded it much. He had many plans up his sleeve. Then he would just have to go to plan B. He preferred plan B too.

"Time for dessert. I love to have a Sunday ice cream. Any stands around?" Yuma then questioned and looked around on the fun fair stands. Ray sighed deeply.

"Ah... Hey Yuma, don't you have more important things to do right now than keep eating?" he then questioned the lobster haired boy.

"Hu? Oh yeah now that you mention it I would love to drink a milkshake" Yuma responded and made Ray sigh deeply inside. It seemed like Yuma had completely forgotten the real reason they were here.

"Yuma, I have noticed you have the capacity to inject far more food and drinks than the average human" Astral then suddenly commented and made Yuma look bewildered at him. He hummed a little.

"Yeah I guess I am hungrier than most people" Yuma then replied slowly.

"Or perhaps your stomach simply enjoys the excise" Astral replied quickly.

"Hmm Yeah that could be it too" Yuma said and shrugged a little.

He didn't care much there. Ray however did. He needed to have Yuma enter that couples duel tournament, but since he was partner less that didn't happen. Ray snort inside again. Guess I am returning back to plan A then and make Dumon take care of him. Ray bit his lip. One thing was that Dumon was here at the funfair. Another thing was him dueling and use barian power. Ray had a feeling Zaira could sense that and he didn't want those two to meet yet. For his own selfish reasons of course. As luck so happens he didn't have to. Something got in between. Or in this case someone.

"Oh Yuma" A voice suddenly said and Yuma, Astral and Ray turned towards the girl who had spoken. Anna Kaboom was standing in front of them and she was dressed in a girl school uniform. Yuma looked bewildered at her.

"Anna what's with the get up?" he then asked.

"Hehe I just enrolled here as a student here" Anna then explained and smiled a little "And now that I officially part of the school, I can enter the couples duel with you".

"Ah what? You and me?" Yuma uttered in a scared tone.

"Don't disappoint me or else!" Anna yelled and grabbed her blaster who she was carrying on her back. She pointed it firmly at Yuma.

"Ah okay. Just put down the blaster Anna. We are a team!" Yuma uttered sacredly.

"Good. Then hop up and let's get going!" Anna replied firmly and pointed at her now flying blaster.

Yuma didn't have much to say and soon he was on his way to the couple duel tournament with Astral tagging along. Ray looked after them with an evil smirk plastered on his face. Guess Plan B was possible after all.

Brooke Walker was sitting inside her dressing room preparing for her duel with her newly wedded husband Mayday Walker. A smile was plastered on her face, as she ran down the cards in her deck.

"I haven't dueled against students since I went to school, and that was a long time ago" Brook uttered to herself and chuckled.

She couldn't wait until they stated. Then suddenly, without warning, the light got turned off inside the room. Brooke looked perplexed around, and were trying to make sense of it all, when suddenly an evil laughter could be heard all around her.

"I have seen you and your husband duel together. You make an impressive team" a voice then suddenly said and in front of Brooke was now a weird red energy being.

"Who... who are you?" Brooke uttered rather scared. The creature just chuckled.

"You will become my instrument of destruction" the creature continued and were holding up a spell card in front of her. It had the famous barian symbol on of course. "I will harnish your powers to strike down my foes and bring back what is rightfully mine. You will obey my commands now".

A bright light emitted from the barian force spell card and Brook was staring almost hypnotized at it. Then the light returned, and everything was back the way it was before. Even Brooke could not remember the weird meeting she had with the red creature, and soon she left the dressing room to enter the couple's duel tournament with Mayday.

Zaira's p.o.v.

Around the same time.

"Take a chance...".

The voice from Starling stirling concert could be heard all around the plaza. It was there we had planned her to be in the fun fair. At least the school council had decided that. How I ended here out of all the places when I ran away from Shark at the park, I still don't know. But here I was. After I wandered around endlessly in the crowd, I ended up here. At the Starling concert. I didn't have a problem getting in. Shark, being in the band as bass guitarist, had pulled some strings here and made it possible for me to be at the concert. Not that it had been a problem though. I could always threat Flip into giving me his ticket, considered he had an illegal stand selling fake concert tickets to people for their rare cards. But the music was loud and awesome in their own ways. Shark really rocked as a bass guitarist and was having many fans. Both males and females. Guilt ran through my stomach now. I was being unreasonable with him before. I mean Shark had an image to uphold. Just like I had. I couldn't force him into a dark magician costume. Even though it wasn't fair that I had to be in the dark magician girl costume. I sighed a little. Apparently, Shark found me cute in it. Not that I agreed. Cute was not my thing, but still. If it made him happy, then maybe I just should comply this once?! The last verse of the song 'take a chance' could be heard, as Starling thanked them all for coming today and soon the concert ended. The band and everyone began packing their things together and the crowd around began leaving. Of course not everyone since many wanted autographs from them all. I sighed a little. I had spotted Shark jumping down from the stage. His bass guitar were hanging in a bag at his shoulders. I bit my lip a little. Maybe he would play for me someday. Unless we of course were together at that point. I sighed a little again. Guess I needed to apologies. I took some steps forward and froze in my tracks. Shark was now surrounded by girls.

"Oh please Shark. Please sign this note for me" one of them asked.

Others soon followed and were holding up different things, so Shark could give them their autographs. Surprisingly, I could hear Shark sigh annoyed, as he grabbed a girl's sketchbook and began signing it. I must admit I was stunned by that. Shark was never one to do something like that. It was Quattro's style to spoil his fans. Not Shark's. Then suddenly our eyes meet. He knew I was here for some reason. A smirk appeared on his face and I just knew he was doing this on purpose. To hurt me. Tears ran down my cheeks and I turned around and ran away. I didn't know where, but I just couldn't stay there. Suddenly I could feel something. A weird energy ran through the air and I knew, I had no clue on how, but I knew Mizar was here for some reason. I of course changed my direction right away. If there was barians here I needed to stop them before they got to Yuma and Astral. That was my mission after all.

Yuma's p.o.v.

At the tournament.

The tributes were filled with people as Yuma and Anna entered the scene. Yuma looked a little stunned around before Anna had tossed him off as she jumped off her blaster. Apparently, she was more reckless than usual. She was staring intensely at the pros. Brooke especially Yuma noticed.

"Anna what are you doing here?" Brooke then asked. Yuma got up from the ground and were staring in disbelief at Anna and Brooke.

"Hold on. Wait a sec, you know her?" he then asked Anna.

"Hey, isn't that the friend who came to our weeding?" Mayday then asked his wife.

"That's right. Anna used to be a dueling pupil of mine" Brooke then said and send them both a smile.

Yuma couldn't believe what he was hearing. Anna had been a pro's student? Then it of course made sense that she was so strong. The referee announced their match for officially now. Apparently, everyone wanted to see Yuma duel since he was the WDC champion. Yuma blushed a little. He was loving the attention. Anna not so much. She was still staring angrily at Brooke.

"I am so happy for you Anna. Really! I didn't know that you were dating a world champion duelist" Brooke then said, "How long have you known each other?".

"Wait are you talking about me?!" Yuma uttered surprised "Look we are not...".

"That is not important right now!" Anna suddenly yelled and interrupted Yuma. Yuma looked stunned at her. Not because she had interrupted him, but because it was the first word she had said since they arrived here. Anna really sounded angry.

"Is it true? I heard you were gonna give up dueling forever Brooke" Anna continued shouting. "When you were training me, you told me how important it was to be committed to dueling, but you didn't really mean that, did you?!".

"But Anna I can explain!" Brooke then replied but Anna just snort at her.

"I don't wanna hear excuses" Anna sneered angrily "Listen Brooke! You made a promise once. You told me that if I ever beat you in a duel, you will do anything I ask. No matter what it was. Well I am gonna hold you to it, so when I beat you, you can't quit dueling". Brooke sighed deeply.

"I see that it is pointless to try and reason with you right now" she then said, "Alright then I will accept your challenge!".

"I sense there is a great deal of tension between Anna and her former teacher" Astral suddenly commented. Yuma nodded eagerly to that.

"That's exactly why they have to duel each other. When there is a problem, dueling is the best possible way to hush things out" he responded.

"That is true" Mayday commented with a smile "I can already tell this isn't gonna be an ordinary duel. You ready?".

"I am always ready" Yuma proclaimed with a smile. Both him and Anna, along with the Walkers, activated their duel gazer and disk. Soon the duel were about to begin.

Astral's p.o.v.

Mayday: 4000 Lp.

Yuma: 4000 Lp.

Brooke: 4000 Lp.

Anna: 4000 Lp.

Astral was quite fascinated with the duel that was about to happen. They have had several double duels before in the past, but none had been against two pros. They had fought against Scorch and Chills and teamed up with Kite to beat the two Arclight brothers. They had even had 2 against 1 duels, but this was a really good challenge since their opponents were two pros. Astral looked at the field and it's duelists. This duel presents a fascinating challenge. A team they must defeat both opposite duelists to prevail. So teamwork is essential. Yuma and Anna must stay in sync with each other to win. Mayday started off. He drew and activated the field spell "Iceberg ocean". An ice field ocean appeared, and different ice pieces was on the ocean for people to stand on. Astral hummed a little over Mayday's strategy. With iceberg ocean in play all face up def position monsters had their def points reduced to 0 as long as this field spell was in play. Mayday then played the spell "Balloon party" which allowed him to summon two balloon tokes. He then sacrificed his two tokens to summon his level 10 monster called "Indestructible airship hindenkraft". A giant airship monster appeared on to the field. Astral must admit it was impressive with it size and 2900 att points and 2000 def points. It was gonna be hard to beat.

"According to the rules in this couples duel, none of us is allowed to attack on the first turn. So I will place one card face down and let Yuma take over" Mayday stated with a smile.

It was now Yuma's turn. He drew and summoned "Gogogo golem" in attack mode. Astral eyes ran over the dueling field once again.

"Yuma I highly recommend that you focus on strengthening your defenses this turn" he then commented.

Yuma nodded eagerly. He placed two face down cards and ended his turn. It was now Brooke's turn. She drew and played the spell "Raft party" which had a similar effect as Mayday's spell. It allowed Brooke to summon two "Raft tokens". She of course tributed them both to summon a level 10 monster as well in att mode. It was called "Unsinkable Titanica" and had 2900 att points and 3000 def points. Yuma was of course impressed by their monsters. Just like usual. Sadly Anna wasn't sharing Yuma's view and began instead to yell at him and ask, 'who's side he was on'. Astral eyes narrowed at that. That didn't sound good. Mayday then activated a combi move. Since Brooke had summoned a level 5 or higher monster, like her Titanica, he could his monsters special effect and switch a level 9 or lower monster into def position. He of course choose Yuma's Gogogo golem. Since it now was in def mode, Iceberg oceans effect activated, and Yuma's monster now had 0 def points. But that was not all. Brooke activated her monster's effect. It destroys a monster who has 0 def points and deals damage to the owner equally to half of the destroyed monsters att points. Yuma got send flying and hit the cracked ice pieces. He had lost 900 life points. He had 3100 Lp's left.

"Why did I pick you as a partner? You are dueling like a total wimp" Anna then sneered when Yuma got up on his feet again.

"Oh yeah?! Then why didn't you find someone else to duel with then?" Yuma sneered back at her. Astral sighed deeply.

"Your opponents are working in perfect harmony" he reminded Yuma.

After all Yuma was the only one who could see him. Yuma quickly activated his trap to get his game back on as he told Anna. He used the card called "Puzzle reborn". Since a card effect had destroyed his monster, he was allowed to summon Gogogo golem back from the graveyard to the field in att mode.

"Impressive" Brooke commented and tossed down a face down and ended her turn.

Anna was up. She was as fierce and fiery as ever and summoned a strong level 10 monster called "Night Express knight" who had 3000 att and def points to the field. She could summon this monster without tribute by making all its att points 0. Then she activated the spell card called "Southern stars". With it she could raise one monsters level all the way to 10. She picked Yuma's Gogogo golem. Astral's eyes narrowed once again. Knowing Anna, that was not to their benefits.

"Yes! I cannot wait to take advantage of that manure" Yuma uttered happily.

"I don't think that would happen" Astral then replied him.

Yuma looked bewildered at him. As usual he didn't have a clue what he was talking about. He did however soon realize it when Anna used his monster to Xyz summon. She used her knight and Yuma's golem to summon her rank 10 monster known as "Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max" who had 3000 att and def points. Astral knew it was an impressive monster, but was that enough to win?

"Hey! If you wanna use my monster you should ask me first!" Yuma shouted angrily.

"According to the rules, if I wanna Xyz summon, I can use your monster even if you don't like it" Anna explained fiercely "So please stop whining and let me duel".

Yuma was of course not okay with it, but he contained himself because of the battle. Astral watched with fascination. He had never met such unreliable team.

However Anna continued her move. She activated her monster's special effect. By using one Ou she could deal 2000 points of damage to her opponent. Anna of course targeted Brooke because of their fight earlier, but sadly Mayday came in between. He activated his face down card. The spell "Engagement destiny". When another player takes damage from a card effect, he could halve the damage that player was taking, while in the meantime he took the other half as damage. Astral was also fascinated by this display as Mayday took the damage. He even saved Brooke from getting hurt by the blast. He wondered if this unity was part of being engaged to one another. Anna apparently didn't agree as she found their loving relationship ridiculous. She ended her turn with a face down. Mayday was up, and he drew.

"Brooke darling. Let's show them why we make a perfect dueling couple" Mayday then said.

Brooke nodded in agreement, so Mayday overlaid their two level 10 monsters to Xyz summon "Skypalace Gangaridai". It was this massive monster who was combined by Mayday's aircraft and Brooke's Titanica. The sky even turned a little dark as it appeared and covered the sky. It was also a rank 10 monster with 3400 att points and 3000 def points. Mayday wasted no time. He activated their sky palace's special effect. By using one Ou it could destroy a monster on the field and cut the owner's life points in half.

"Anna!" Yuma shouted in distress as her monster got destroyed and the blow send her flying to the ground. She also lost 2000 lp's.

"That sky palace is a true threat" Astral then said in a concerned tone, and he was of course right because soon Mayday declared a direct attack on Yuma. With his monster's 3400 att points, Yuma didn't stand a chance since he only had 3100 life points left.

Dumon's p.o.v.

Dumon sighed deeply as he walked the noisy crowd. His eyes flickered though, looking at the crowd with lost sad eyes. However, it was not like he was looking at anything. His mind was elsewhere, filled with thoughts from the resent events. He could still not get the image of that girl in dark magician costume. That girl who had been with Reginald Kastle and that girl who had so much resembles to Her. Zaira! Dumon shook his head once again. It couldn't be her. It just logically couldn't be her. He had run the scene through him mind thousands of times now, without giving him any answer at all. However, his heart was telling something else. That it had been Zaira and whatever reasonable logic didn't count here at all. Those aspects were now fighting each other, and it was driving Dumon crazy. Along with the guilt and anger he was having on himself. After all why hadn't he grabbed her or just done something when this girl had ran passed him? He could easily had confirmed right there that this girl was hi... their princess or not. Dumon shook his head wildly once more. It just couldn't be her! It just couldn't! Then guilt had hit him pretty hard again. Because what if it was their lost princess? What if... dread filled his mind once again. I have been about to brainwash her. My loving princess! I am so ashamed of myself! I... Dumon stopped surprised up. The scene from before was once again in his mind. Something just didn't make sense. Wait why would the princess be with Reginald Kastle? That doesn't make sense. Unless It is really not her. She would never betray... Dumon shook his head once again. He was trying to stop the thought from entering his mind. After all She was not like that. She was not like Him! But regardless what the thought still entered. She would never betray or cheat on me. Dumon sighed again. There must be some kind of logical reason here. Something he didn't know of. It just had to be the case. He ran the events though his mind once again. Him being in barian world and having that dream about his princess. Dumon bit his lip a little. He had gone through the portal to find Zaira after all. It has led him to Earth. Why was he so shocked over that she was here? He should be happy. He should... the image of her with Reginald Kastle, his enemy, entered his mind once again. Maybe I am just putting too much into this. I mean they could just be friends. There doesn't have to be any romance involved here. Dumon sighed again. But why should she be with Reginald Kastle regardless? It doesn't make sense. Dumon sighed once again and finally came to an agreement with himself. He just had to locate this girl and figure out things for himself. He nodded eagerly to himself and were about to begin his search for this Zaira look alike once again, when suddenly something happened. Or rather something was blinking. Dumon cursed inside as he looked at the Lapiz around his wrist. It was blinking and buzzing loudly. He sighed deeply and looked around. The light on his wrist were already attracting attention to himself. Without much fuss, Dumon ran away from the noisy crowd while trying to hide the Lapiz under his shirt.

He after some search of location, ended up in a park somewhere outside the school's ground. Dumon looked suspiciously around, before he finally turned his attention to the buzzing and blinking Lapiz. He sighed deeply as he accepted the incoming call.

"Dumon!" Mizar's voice shouted angrily "What in the world are you doing? I have been looking for you everywhere". Dumon sighed deeply before he replied.

"I am sorry my friend, but I had an urgent assignment to fulfil" he responded dutifully. He could hear Mizar growl angrily in the other end.

"What could be of such important that you don't have time to explain it to me? Not to mention that the servants reported you had left Barian world. We are the last of the remaining Barian emperors if you don't count Vector who is off to who knows where. We still have a duty to uphold to our people" Mizar began his speech.

Dumon rolled his arms. Mizar was only copying things he had been saying to him months back. It was funny that the situation was reversed at the moment.

"Where are you?!" Mizar then demanded to know.

"At Heartland city on Earth" Dumon replied quickly and sighed.

He could almost hear Mizar begin to educate him, as he had him in the past. Surprisingly however, Mizar wasn't saying anything at all for at least a while. Dumon even wondered if their connections through their Lapiz's had been disconnected, when he could hear sounds behind him. A portal opened behind him in swiftly moments and a shadow quickly jumped out of it. It didn't surprise Dumon when he found Mizar standing beside him in human form. His friend had been overly protective over him lately.

"Dumon, what in the world were you thinking?!" his friend sneered angrily and crossed his arms over his chest. Dumon just snort and turned his back to Mizar.

"It has no concern to you Mizar" Dumon just replied. He didn't want to talk about this right now. He had other things to do. Like figure out if this girl was Zaira.

"You are looking for Zaira" Mizar uttered.

It was no confirmation. It was a statement and it took Dumon so off guard that he turned surprised around towards Mizar. The blond send him a firm look.

"What? How...?!" But Mizar quickly interrupted him.

"Is it easily noticeable Dumon. Where else would you go? Or leave Barian world without telling anyone". His friend crossed his arms and continued "Are you completely out of your mind? We are in a dire situation here. The war and the Astrals. We can't have our leader to be missing! It is terrible enough that our former leader disappeared. We can't lose you too".

"I found her Mizar" Dumon countered and stopped the blond boy's ranting "Or at least I think there is a certain look alike. Don't you understand? If She is alive, then Nash might be...".

"That is pure speculations Dumon. It is not like you" Mizar replied firmly.

"I know, but... I had this dream".

Then Dumon told his friend everything. How he had the dream and why he had come here. Mizar was listening to the whole tale without saying anything. When Dumon was done, Mizar was still not saying anything. He was staring up in the sky and looked a bit distant.

"She can't be" he then said slowly. Dumon looked questionable at him.

"What do you mean?" he asked. Mizar snort rather annoyed.

"She just can't be. The princess would never betray us! She would never betray You! She just wouldn't!" he sneered angrily. "She promised... she is... responsibility". He took a deep breath and send Dumon a firm look again.

"I thought you agreed with Nash that we shouldn't listen to Him! He is sealed for a reason, but you still regards it and decided to come here" he then scolded "You know as well as I that we need to win this war and obliviate Astral world. You should regard our people first, instead of acting on vivid dreams and suspicions. Just as Nash would. You are our leader now".

Dumon looked perplexed at his friend. He never seen Mizar like this before. This commanding and having this commitment to their world. He was the one who usually was like that.

"When you took the portal Dumon, don't you think a part of you still were regarding Barian world's best interest?" his friend then questioned "For those reasons you ended up in Yuma Tsukumo's world? And to make matters worse, the girl you saw could have been an illusion. Don't you think you wanted to believe the girl you saw Was in fact Zaira? You are not able to locate her again after all".

Dumon bit his lip in annoyed matter. He needed to process all the things Mizar was telling him. Logically it did make sense. They had agreed, not to follow His instructions unless they had fact building up. He had after all a tendency to mess with them. This could have been one of those times. Maybe this really an illusion of his broken heart. No! The girl was Zaira! I am sure of it. She couldn't be anyone else! But I do also have responsibilities to carry out...

"Dumon, leave that lookalike to me. I will determine if she is Zaira or not" Mizar then suddenly suggested. Dumon looked surprised at him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Mizar quickly continued "If she is truly who you believe she is, I will bring her home to you. That I promise, but for the time being Barian world needs us. You do understand this don't you my friend?!".

Dumon sighed deeply. His logic did in fact make sense somehow. He was the leader for now, until Nash was back. Their world needed a leader, and only he had the skills being the former adviser to Nash. He was more important compared to Mizar who didn't have the skills to lead and Vector, wherever he was, was too insane and less caring.

"I understand Mizar. I will return now" He replied firmly "You are right. Our world needs us. Needs me. Whoever that lookalike is, she at least gave me hope. Hope that she is alive somewhere, but now that I think about it, our princess might not be able to handle the war anyway". Mizar snort and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't count her out just yet. She is strong and can take care of herself" he replied.

"Yes, but her heart might not be in it. You do know how caring she is" Dumon answered.

To that Mizar didn't say anything. Dumon didn't question that. They had said what they needed to say. Instead he opened up a portal to Barian world. They needed to return after all. As he entered the portal however, Dumon noticed Mizar move his human lips mimicking the words 'I am sorry' before the portal forced him to barian world.

Zaira's p.o.v.

Around the same time with the duel.

I ran and ran. I had no idea where to. I was just following the sense of Barian power that I could feel. Sadly it was getting weaker and weaker, so I sat my tempo up. I just had to reach the destination before it was untraceable. I hit a clearing who was a little away from the school. I looked bewildered around. The trance of barian power had been here. I was sure of it. I walked out in the middle of the clearing and was looking around for well anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly, out of the blue, a shadow jumped down from who knows where. They were standing so close that I felt my private sphere was being broken completely. I looked bewildered as blond locks hit my face. Mizar was glaring angrily at me.

"You are still sloppy!" he sneered and pushed me to the ground while huffing "You have not learned anything Girl". I sneered angrily back and was about to say something, when Mizar once again was staring angrily at me.

"Head this warning Girl. Stay out of our way!" he then sneered and quickly continued when I was about to respond "Your presence is not wanted! Furthermore, your whole existence here hurts him deeply, and I don't want that. Do you understand? If you continue to assist the Astral prince and his suiter Yuma Tsukumo, I will destroy you! Remember this when you consider future choices".

Then without warning Mizar opened a portal and disappeared through it. He left me of course completely confused and shocked. After all I had no idea what he was talking about. Although apparently, he didn't want me to help Astral and Yuma. At that I snort and got up.

"You don't decide that you feathered blondie!" I yelled, knowing full well Mizar couldn't hear me. This was for me. To get of some steam.

"Zaira!" a voice suddenly shouted my name and I turned towards it.

Then I was staring in disbelief as someone dressed in a costume approached me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing to be honest. Shark, dressed in a dark magician costume, was approaching me. My eyes were wide as I looked at him, and then I began laughing like crazy. I just couldn't contain myself.

"Hey! You dare laugh Zaira!" Shark sneered angrily and crossed his arms "I told you I didn't want to be dressed like that". I giggled a little and bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. After some minutes I did manage.

"I am sorry, but you look... handsomely. I thought you didn't want to get dressed like that" I said and send him a big smile. Shark huffed angrily.

"Rio threatened me into this" he replied in a cold tone. "Said I needed to apologize to you. She also knew where you were. Her predictions power is annoying really".

I hummed at that. If I knew Shark, he would never admit that he was dressed like this to make me happy and not because his sister had threatened him.

"Hmm you don't say" I mused out, but then sighed "I need to apologize too though. I shouldn't have pressured you like that. But... Shark! What was with the girls?!". At that my boyfriend actually smirked.

"I wanted to make you jealous. I wanted to make you feel what I have been feeling all day, I..."

I cut him off by placing our lips together in a firm kiss. I could see Shark's blue eyes widen at the sudden kiss, but soon he melded into it. He kissed back with just as much passion as I was. Soon we parted away.

"What was that..." but I cut Shark of again.

"You don't need to feel jealous Shark boy. You are the only boy for me" I replied teasingly and took his hand.

A hard but quick pain entered my chest for some reason. It was like my heart was disagreeing. However, as quick as the pain had been, it disappeared without a trace at all.

"Zaira what is wrong?!" Shark questioned worriedly "You are spacing out".

"Nothing. I just had this feeling" I replied slowly. Shark's eyes narrowed at that.

"Is it barian energies? Or something else?" he asked. I shrugged a little.

"Maybe..." I half lied. I didn't want him to make a big deal out of this "Maybe we should just check up on Yuma and Astral. Just for safety. After we have changed clothes that is. At that Shark actually smiled a little.

"Sure Miss stubborn. Everything to get this thing off me" he replied and squeezed my hand. We headed towards the monster café.

Time skip.

We soon were dressed in our regular clothes. I couldn't tell how good it felt to be in my usual outfit. The orange t-shirt and black pants as well as my purple jacket. I could almost cry. But only almost. Shark was also back into his regular attire as well, and we soon went to the couple's duel tournament. Now I was actually glad Shark and I never entered. The tribute was packed. Not that I minded the crowd much, but I really didn't feel like much dueling after what just had happened. Mizar's warning was also still in my mind.

"Hi Zaira, chan!" I could suddenly hear a voice say.

I didn't need to look to know who that was. Therefore I didn't get surprised when Ray once again were about to hug me. I just planted a fist in his cheek before then. Mostly because if I didn't Shark would maim him seconds later. Ray groaned a little.

"That's how it goes when you take the Ray way" Ray then uttered and rubbed his cheek.

Then he send me a genius smile and took my hand "You are just here in time to see the duel. Yuma is not doing so well, but I know he will turn things around". Without warning he pulled me over towards the railing where Cathy and Tori was as well. I could hear Shark growl annoyed to that, but he did follow. We could see Yuma duel together with Anna Kaboom? When was she a student here? But then I heard Tori talk about how Anna had stolen her school uniform, and then everything made sense. I rolled my eyes. Guess this duel was really important to Anna.

"Yuma still has most of his life points left, but unfortunately Gangaridai has more att points" Ray then explained as we were staring down at the duel.

This apparently was a double duel. Yuma had no monsters on the field, and currently it was Mayday's turn. What in the world was Yuma doing out there?! I bit my lip and contained myself from not shouting out to Yuma and Astral. Yuma had come a long way since we meet, and I knew he had to handle this on his own. I just hoped he could win.

A,N: Well that was that chapter. So sorry for the cut here. At least I am soon done with the third part. Hope you liked this part however. I would appreciate it if you would comment and tell me what you think. Of course up to you but would like to see if I still am able to write decently. Thank you so much for your support however. See you in the next part.
