Daytime in the city.

Both tsukumo brothers walking together heading for school.

For the past three days after both yuma and cathy got to know each other for sometime and (y/n) start to see his adopted brother starting to like her which made him glad.

Also cathy told him she was the one who did those clothes and other things.

Yuma: Who would have guessed that was her all this time just to get my attention. Said with a smile.

Y/N: Well bro your a dense idiot when it comes to girls. Said with a smile.

That made him glare at him.

Yuma: I'm not that bad. Said with a annoyed look.

Y/N: You didn't knew about her until my plan for setting up that duel. Said with a smirk.

Which made him flinch and sigh.

Yuma: I can't win against you. Said with a annoyed look.

Then they made it to the side of the street waiting for the light to turn red so they can cross.

Which it did and both brothers continue on until they heard a motor sound and see a bike continue on.

Both brothers quickly move out of the way which (y/n) made it to the other side safely and yuma stopped at the middle of the street.

Yuma glare at the person and about to tell but widen his eyes to see who.

(Y/N) saw him surprised and look where he's looking and widen his eyes to see shark on the same bike.

Y/N 'thought': Reginald. Said in his mind with a surprised look.

He was about to say something but he left.

He sigh.

After yuma's duel against him he disappeared for sometime and not knowing his whereabouts until that night after he defeated nelson.

Later.

Both brothers reach the school and made it to the classroom.

Yuma: Made it. Said with a smile.

Caswell: I don't think so yuma. Said out of nowhere.

He looks to see caswell along with tori and bronk walking towards them.

Caswell stood in front of him.

Caswell: Your late. Said with a neutral look.

Then he took yuma's deck and checked on them.

Yuma: What are you talking about?. Said with a questionable look.

He looks at him.

Caswell: It's time to explain about those number cards?. Said with a questionable look.

That got both brothers to flinch.

Yuma: If you want to know that I don't have them with me. Said with a neutral look.

His brother nod in agreement.

Tori: It only appear when astral appears right?. Said with a questionable look.

(Y/N) nodded.

Caswell: Who is this astral?. Said with a questionable look.

Y/N: A spirit that has amnesia and doesn't remember anything but to regain them by collecting number cards.

Caswell looks at (y/n).

Caswell: You do have number cards as well?. Said with a questionable look.

He nodded and show him nightmare shark.

Which he is examining it.

Caswell: I don't see nothing special about it?. Said with a confused look.

(Y/N) sigh.

Y/N: Caswell is better to stop finding out about it and trust me it is for your own safety. Said with a neutral look.

Caswell: What do you mean?. Said with a neutral look.

(Y/N) lean close to him.

Y/N 'whisper': May I remind you the crash bug virus incident with mr.k that you triggered. Said with a neutral look.

Which he flinch at that memory.

Caswell: Alright you got a point. Said with a neutral look.

Tori looks at him.

Tori: I was wondering why don't you use it, it could be good help with your strategy?. Said with a questionable look.

Y/N: I only use them when I'm up against another number user, if I'm in a situation I'll use the numbers I have and besides they like short cut for winning I want to use my own strength. Said with a neutral look.

She nodded of understanding along with bronk and caswell agreed with his decision since they saw what he can do with his cipher deck.

Then caswell looks at yuma.

Caswell: What I mean in the end yuma you rely on these number cards to win the duel. Said with a neutral look.

Yuma: Thats not true at all. Said with a annoyed look.

Which (y/n) sigh.

Caswell: Look in the end you couldn't beat shark or flip without those numbers. Said with a serious look.

Y/N: Um, caswell no offense but during his duel against shark he use leviathan dragon first before yuma summon utopia. Said with a neutral look.

Which caswell blink a couple of times.

Caswell: Fair enough, but like you said (y/n) it's like a short cut to win and yuma rely on them. Said with a serious look.

Yuma: I don't rely on them. Said with a serious look.

Caswell: Then prove it in a duel. Said with a serious look.

Yuma: Fine then I duel someone of your choice and I wont rely on the numbers. Said with a serious look.

That got (y/n) to sigh again of his brother's stubbornness.

Caswell: Really if I say you duel shark again. Said with a neutral look.

Then yuma took his cards from caswell.

Yuma: Then let's find him. Said with a serious look.

But bronk came to his side.

Bronk: Hold on yuma, think for a moment I think it is not a good time to duel him. Said with a serious look.

That got both brothers attention.

Yuma: What do you mean?. Said with a questionable look.

Bronk: After you defeated shark, he changed and stopped coming to school and hang out with some guys and I mean bad guys. Said with a serious look.

That got (y/n)'s attention and stood in front of bronk.

Y/N: Why didn't you tell me this before, I thought he's been in home after that?. Said with a serious look.

He flinch.

Bronk: Sorry I thought you knew as well. Said with a nervous look.

He sigh and look out the window straight at the city worried for his friend.

Y/N 'thought': Reginald why?. Said in his mind with a worried look.

Tori noticed his look.

Skip.

At the mall both brothers walking by and headed to the alleyway finding stairs walking down.

Yuma: That caswell, why he keeps bothering me because I won just a few duels. Said with a annoyed look.

Y/N: Because you always lose and a bad strategist. Said with a neutral look.

Then astral appeared.

Astral: I agree with (y/n). Said with a neutral look.

He glare at him.

Yuma: Thanks for the vote of confidence, but also it is the duelist that make his cards not the other way around. Said with a neutral look.

Tori: (Y/N), Yuma. Said from behind.

Both brothers look to see tori and bronk.

Bronk: Are you two crazy, this is a bad idea. Said with a serious look.

Yuma: Sorry bronk but I must do this. Said with a serious look.

Then he looks at astral.

Yuma: And I must do this alone. Said with a serious look.

That made astral sigh a little and nodded.

They continue down the alley and see a building look a bit old and damage.

Then both brothers noticed the bike.

Y/N: He's here alright. Said with a neutral look.

They got in and see the inside is a mess and no one around.

Yuma: No one is here?. Said with a neutral look.

Until got hit in the head by (y/n).

Yuma: What was that for?. Said with a serious look.

Y/N: You and your big mouth yuma, something like this happens you jinx us. Said with a serious look.

Which he flinch until.

???: He's got a point brat. Said out of nowhere.

They quickly look around to see gangs coming out of hiding.

Tori got close to (y/n) and hold him in fear.

(Y/N) noticed and bring her close just to make sure.

That made her blush a bit to see he's overprotective with her.

Then heard a scream to see bronk being held by the neck from a big guy.

???: Now why are you brats here?. Said with a smirk.

Then a man with a white suit stood beside him.

???: Like scorch said what are you brats here?. Said with a smirk.

Yuma was to say something but (y/n) beat him to it.

Y/N: Sorry got a little lost because my idiot brother thought this is a short cut to go somewhere but has bad senses of direction. Said with a neutral look.

Yuma glare at him.

But (y/n) new they spell trouble if he got to their bad side.

Scorch: Oh really, then tell me why did you enter here. Said with a smirk.

He narrow his eyes a little.

Before he could speak he heard tori scream and quickly see she's being held by one of them.

Gang 1: This one is pretty cute. Said with a smirk.

She flinch in fear.

But what happens next is unexpected.

Someone grabbed his arm and grip it hard making the man let go of tori and falls to the ground while being held.

Everyone is surprised at this even tori because it was (y/n) with a serious holding him down while twisting his arm in pain.

But what got her attention she sees his eyes glowing a bit and see he's angry.

Y/N: If you touch her again I will rip your arm off. Said with a serious look.

This made everyone flinch in fear even scorch and his partner to hear his words being serious.

Astral seeing the event but felt a power coming from (y/n) and by the feeling is very faint but old and very powerful.

Astral 'thought': Something powerful within him is giving him power, but why does it feel so familiar?. Said in his mind with a surprised look.

Shark: That's enough. Said out of nowhere.

They all look see shark coming in.

Shark: They are with me so let them go you guys. Said with a serious look.

The guy in the white suit looks at him.

???: Very well, let the brats go and tell the your friend to let go of my guy as well. Said with a serious look.

Shark looks to see (y/n) holding down one of them but he noticed his eyes glowing a little which surprised him a bit.

Shark 'thought': Not good, I better calm him down or it will repeat like last time. Said in his mind with a little worried look.

Shark walk towards him and place his hand on his shoulder gaining his attention.

Shark: Calm down (y/n) and better calm down or 'that' will repeat again. Said with a neutral look.

That got him surprised to hear and calms down and let go the man.

His eyes returned to normal much of shark's relief.

Then looks at the guys.

Shark: I'll lead them the way out that ok with you chills. Said with a neutral look.

He nodded.

Chills: Ok. Said with a neutral look.

Then he lead the kids out of there.

Right outside shark looks at them especially at (y/n).

Shark: You almost lost it (y/n) better control that or bad things happen like last time. Said with a neutral look.

He nodded.

Y/N: Right, but reginald why did you join them?. Said with a questionable look.

Shark: Not your business (y/n). Said with a neutral look.

That made yuma mad.

Yuma: Come on, I came all the way to duel you again. Said with a neutral look.

He looks at him a little surprised and sigh.

Shark: Sorry but I don't duel anymore and quit. Said with a neutral look.

Which made both brothers surprised to hear.

Then he left leaving them.

Y/N: Wait reginald. Said with a worried look.

But too late he left and made (y/n) sigh.

Later.

Sunset.

They are at the river side looking at the sunset.

Yuma: What could have made him quit?. Said with a sad look.

Y/N: Your guess is good as mine, he and I duel sometimes but sometimes he loses against me and won against me a few times in the past and we had so much fun. Said with a sad look.

He looks at the sunset.

Yuma: Your right bro but what could we do it is sad for a good duelist quit. Said with a sad look.

He nodded.

Y/N: I know. Said with a sad look.

Skip.

At night at the tsukumo house.

(Y/N) in his room looking at the ceiling thinking about the times he and shark hang out.

Then he looks at his night stand behind of the picture frame of his adopted parents.

Another picture behind is a fourteen year old (y/n) and shark laughing and fist bump.

But to his attention is a young girl with a blue dress behind little (y/n) hugging him from behind but the light of the moon covering her face but see a faint of a smile there.

Y/N 'thought': I wish I knew what happened sooner but I failed my promise rio, I'm sorry. Said in his mind with a sad look.

Then he went to sleep.

But unknown to him that his pendant start to glow blue along with his deck box glowing as well meaning something is close to awakening.

Later in the morning.

(Y/N) woke up and stretched.

Then he thought something strange going on, yuma not snoring and thought he woke up early.

Y/N: If yuma wake up early then the end of the world is coming. Said with a neutral look.

Then he went to check on him and to his surprised that he's not there.

Y/N: He's already gone but he never wakes up early for school. Said with a confused look.

Then he widen his eyes realize it.

Y/N: That idiot. Said with a annoyed look.

He quickly dressed his casual clothes and quickly left home to find his brother before he does something stupid.

He runs through town looking for yuma.

Y/N 'thought': That idiot really is stubborn and also a magnet of trouble, I hope I can make it in time. Said in his mind with a serious look.

He turn to a corner and to his surprised he saw shark running away and yuma chasing him.

That made him sigh seeing that yuma is ok but chasing shark.

Y/N: Well better follow them. Said with a neutral look.

He quickly followed them for hours and the sun is starting to set.

He reach the docks and see his brother talking to him.

Yuma: Come on I thought we are friends. Said with a serious look.

Which shark glare at him.

Shark: No we're not, what makes you believe that anyway. Said with a serious look.

Yuma: Because we duel and I don't want you with those thugs. Said with a serious look.

Shark sigh.

Shark: It doesn't matter who I hang out with and none of your business. Said with a serious look.

Yuma: I make it my business, if I beat you and you ditch them. Said with a serious look.

He looks at him.

Shark: Oh yeah, then what will I get if I beat you?. Said with a serious look.
