'Great, I'm spending about half of my lunchtime taking notes.'

Yuna frowned at the notebooks in front of her as she wrote down the class notes. "The bell is going to ring soon..." the girl mumbled disappointedly.

Writing as much as she could put down, the bell rang all over the academy, signaling the students to go to lunch. Yuna sighed as she closed the notebooks with her writing instrument inside, stacking it to carry them.

"I'll carry them if you like. I'm not busy today," Tasuku offered with his hand outstretched in front of Yuna.

"A-ah... O-okay...." Yuna stammered.

"Umm.. We're visiting Gao and the others ... And someone is coming with us today.." Yuna told the boy, avoiding eye contact.

"That's fine with me.." Tasuku replied with an awkward tone, looking at the opposite direction Yuna was facing.

"L-let's wait in front of the elementary area then!" Yuna exclaimed, trying to break the tension.

Waiting for her new friend in front of the building, Yuna fiddled around with her fingers while Tasuku stood next to her and tapped his foot.

"YUNA-CHANNNN!" Hisako called out.

The two snapped their gazes over to the older girl to see her running over and waving.

"Yuna-chan..?" Tasuku smirked, glancing over at his friend.

"Right..... Hello, Hisako-senpai. Tasuku-kun... This is Sakiko Hisako-senpai..," Yuna said, shaking her head.

"Nice to meet you, Tasuku-chann~!," the girl giggled.

"....-C-chan..?" he repeated.

"Is it alright to be here?" Hisako asked curiously, ignoring Tasuku.

"Yeah, should be. After all, some students asked about allowing us to visit each other anytime and the staff finally agreed," Yuna shrugged.

"YOU ATE ALL MY LUNCH AGAIN!" Gao yelled at Baku and Drum.

Kiri shook his head at the scene and continued to eat while Tetsuya took off a banana from his head and ate.

"Oohhh..... I need food....!" the boy dramatically called out, sinking to his knees.

"Gao.. I think you're overreacting.." Kuguru told the boy.

"Sure seems like it," Yuna laughed.

Yuna stretched out her hand to the boy and helped him up. "Half. Not all, but half," Yuna said with a straight face as she handed over her lunch.

"Thank you, senpai!" Gao exclaimed with tears flowing from his eyes.

"He's overreacting.." the entire group mumbled.

"Anyways.. Guys, meet Sakiko Hisako...-san," Tasuku introduced. "She's Yuna's friend and has decided to hang out with us today."

"H-hello, you can call me Hisako! Uhhh, the only person I know here is Mikado Gao and his buddy, Drum.." she said with an embarrassed smile.

"No one is ever going to call me Drum Bunker Dragon Fang Slade Terrestial XIII huh..." the dragon sulked.

"Your full name is quite.. long..." Kuguru told the red armored dragon.

"Yeah.... So, that's Uki Kuguru and Omori Baku. Next to the two are Kurodake Tetsuya and Hyoryu Kiri," Gao pointed out.

"Nice to meet you!" Kuguru greeted while the others nodded and waved.

"Yo, nice meeting you, dawg!" Tetsuya pointed at the older girl.

"D-dawg..?" Hisako looked at the boy oddly.

"Hey, Yuna..?" Tasuku started, setting down his empty container.

"What is it?" Yuna asked without taking her eyes off the notes.

The chattering between the other students cut between the silence of the two students. "You already ate MY food! This is Yuna-senpai's!" Gao claimed, keeping the food away from Baku and Drum.

"Just give them a piece, Gao" Yuna giggled.

Gao mumbled out complaints as everyone took a piece of Yuna's lunch. Tasuku smiled at the focused girl and looked up into the sky.

"S-sorry.. About yesterday I mean.."

Yuna stiffened up her body once he mentioned the incident, having a sudden flashback.

'I like you okay? Please, just think about it...'

Yuna gripped her pencil tighter remembering how desperate he looked. "N-no, it's fine.." she choked out.

"Thanks for the food!" Gao said, handing back the half-eaten lunch. Yuna's head shot up to looked at the boy who gave himself the title 'Mighty Sun Fighter'.

"You're welcome," Yuna said, putting on a smile.

The girl continued rushing through the notes after she set her lunch down, leaving Tasuku's concern for her to rise.

"Are you not going to eat?" the boy asked.

"I'll eat once I finish.." Yuna mumbled with concentration.

Tasuku frowned at her answer. "And if you don't finish in time?" Tasuku asked, leaning over and grabbing her lunch.

"I'll eat afterschool.." she mumbled once again.

Tasuku sighed and picked up his chopsticks. "Yuna."

The girl mentally sighed at the boy, still scribbling down the notes. "Yes, Tasuku-kun?"

The boy picked up some of the Yuna's food and set her lunch container down, readying it to give to the focused girl.

"Face me really quick," he told her.

"Eh..? What for?" Yuna asked as she slowly turned her head, still keeping her sight on the notes.

Tasuku shook his head and took hold of the girl's chin, opening her mouth for her and feeding her. Yuna's eyes shot over to Tasuku, wide open. Hisako caught the two over in their little corner and smiled, leaving them be.

'I better not bother them..' the blond haired girl thought.

"...?!"

"Just eat. I'll be here feeding you while you take notes," Tasuku said, smiling and picking up the container again.

Yuna looked away and allowed her hair to cover up her face. "And if I refuse to eat...?"

Tasuku blinked a few times and smirked. "Who knows? I'll force feed you, if you know what I mean.." he whispered, sending shivers to Yuna's spine.

"Would you like to come over to my house today?" Gao asked Hisako and Tasuku.

"I don't know if I'm able to go. I have work today right after school...." Tasuku reminded the boy.

"My friends are busy today, so no work for me," Hisako replied right after.

"I already finished my work for the day," Yuna said, waving off the thought.

"Oh yeah, is your arm okay?" Kiri asked, remembering what happened onstage.

"It's fine. The wound just reopened during the performance."

Psy's card began to glow as the miniature form of the dragon appeared in front of everyone.

"Haaaa....! It was starting to feel empty there..." the dragon said as he stretched.

"Psy, you're going to have to get back into your card form once lunch ends," Yuna reminded her buddy.

"And it's ending really soon," Kuguru added.

"..... I knew I should've came out earlier.." the white armored dragon mumbled returning back into his card a few seconds before the bell rang.

"At least I finished notes.." Yuna stretched. Tasuku picked up Yuna's belongings as she stood up from her spot.

"We should hurry and get back to class. We're on the wrong side of school after all," Hisako told the 7th graders.

"Yeah, you're right. Let's go now," Tasuku said, dragging Yuna off.

"Magatsu-kun?" Yuna called with the boy's notebook covering the lower half of her face.

"Hmm? Oh, Suzuki-chan! Did you catch up with notes?" Jin asked the girl.

Yuna nodded and handed back the purple haired boy's notebook. "Thank you for the notes," Yuna thanked the boy.

"You're very welcome. Happy to help!" the boy smiled as he looked over to see Tasuku glaring at him.

Jin decided to mess with the blue haired boy and continued talking to Yuna. "May I call you Yuna, Suzuki-chan?" Jin asked.

Yuna blinked at her classmate and just nodded once.

"Then, Yuna-chan, you can call me Jin. Come here for a bit?" Jin said, waving the girl to come closer.

Yuna hesitantly took a step forward as Jin motioned her to bend down a bit. Grabbing the girl's hand Jin pulled Yuna closer to him and whispered into her ear. 'Don't worry. I'm just messing with Tasuku.'

Yuna stood back up once she regained her balance and covered up her ear, looking at him weird.

'He's looking isn't he?' she mouthed out to the boy in front of her as Jin just gave a smile to her.

Tasuku clenched his fists tighter and stared daggers at the boy when he saw Jin grabbing his friend.

'What the hell did he just do..' Tasuku muffled through clenched teeth.

"What did Jin do to you?" Tasuku asked, doing his best to contain his frustration.

"Nothing. Why?" Yuna asked, sounding absolutely normal.

"It sure didn't look like it.." Tasuku said, glancing at the girl.

"He didn't do anything-" Yuna got cutoff by the boy.

"Then why did he pull you closer to him? Sure didn't look like anything," Tasuku glared.

Yuna sighed at the boy's assumption and faced him, looking straight into his eyes.

"He thought you would react like that. He just wanted to mess with you, so stop glaring already..." Yuna told Tasuku, heading to the escalators.

Tasuku sighed frustratingly as he walked ahead of the girl and blocked her way.

"What now, Tasuku-kun... I already said nothing happe-" Tasuku cutoff Yuna's sentence midway once more.

"You're trying to avoid me aren't you..?" Tasuku asked, relaxing his gaze as her grabbed her shoulders.

Yuna flinched at the sudden contact and looked away from the boy. Tasuku's grip tightened a bit, pushing her into a nearby wall.

"...."

Yuna stared at Tasuku with wide eyes, arms up to push him away from her.

"Please stop avoiding me..." he said as he rested his head on her shoulder and held her.

Yuna flinched at his action, slowly relaxing as she brought her arms up higher and around him. "..... I'm not trying to though... It's just.." Yuna paused as the rest of her words hitched intothe back of her throat.

Tasuku let go of Yuna and shook his head. "Just keep thinking about this as long as you need to," he said as he walked off.

Yuna sighed as Tasuku flew off with Jackknife Dragon. "Psy?"

The dragon appeared before the girl once she called out to him along with Abend. The girl's core deck turned into goggles as she brought a hand up to her head.

"Lead me to Gao's place, please?" Yuna asked as she began to leap off from the escalators.

"With pleasure. Abend, you better stay close to us."

On the way to Gao's House, Yuna slowed to a stop to see boxes in front of a house being brought in.

'Is there someone moving here?' Yuna thought, looking at the boxes.

Catching a glimpse of long light purple hair, Yuna looked over at a girl curiously as she dragged in some of the boxes with her buddy's help. The purple haired girl wore a light brown jacket over a very very light blue t-shirt, both with patterns that one cannot explain, and a pair of dark blue jeans matched with the same colored sneakers.

'That looks like..... Inferno Armor Dragon..' Psy said in a low voice.

Yuna turned to look at her buddy with a curious look on her face, letting her hand fall on to the golden dragon next to her.

'I don't think I ever saw these two before....?' Yuna recalled.

The aqua green haired girl turned over to see the purple pig-tailed girl staring directly at her, burning a hole into her body with her sharp blue eyes. Yuna immediately flinched at the girl's stare as she slowly crossed her arms and leaned to one side. Abend shielded its buddy with its wings and tail while Psy stood next to the dragon with his tail in front of the two. Yuna felt uncomfortable under the tension and motioned to her buddies to keep moving.

"What's wrong, Ayden?" the dragon asked as he turned around to see Yuna leap away and her buddies flying beside her.

".... Nothing.. Let's keep unpacking. Mom and Dad are waiting," the girl said, turning back to the boxes as her brother poked his head out of the doorway.

"S-sorry. I had something to do after school," Yuna said, bowing down before the group.

"It's fine! At least you're here," Gao said, inviting her into the house.

As the elementary students and the 2 middle school student sat in Gao's room, the unfamiliar girl popped back into her head.

'Who was she..?'

"Yuna-senpai? Can I play around with your hair?" Hana asked with a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

"Sure..." Yuna responded slowly as the little girl dragged Kuguru over with her.

Yuna wasn't really comfortable with people playing around with her hair, not knowing what they would do to it.

"So, why did you hide the fact that you were the singer Kotone, Senpai?" Baku asked curiously.

"Yeah, I mean a secret's cool and all, yo, but you hid it from everyone for no reason, right?" Tetsuya piped in.

"Everyone asks me that same question... I don't blame you though!" Yuna waved frantically.

"Okay.. But I didn't see anything wrong about letting anyone know that you were THE singer, Kotone," Hisako pointed out.

"Yeah, right... I just don't want anyone to think about me differently, that's all and its embarrassing standing out there in front of a crowd," Yuna stated flatly as she pouted.

"I find that a pretty good reason. It sounds like you don't like being viewed differently by others," Kiri responded.

Hanako and Kuguru continued to braid the girl's hair while they continued on with the subject of music.

"So, Hisako-senpai, you mentioned that you have a job too?" Gao asked curiously.

"Well, to be exact, it really isn't a real job. My friends and I created a mini band for fun and we perform when we get the chance to," the oldest girl of the group explained.

"Say, Yuna. Are you capable of playing any instruments? You seem to never perform with any instruments in hand," Hisako decided to mention.

Everyone directed their gaze to the now known singer.

"Oh, if I do perform with an instrument, I don't think it would blend in with the recordings well. I am able to play the piano, bass, guitar, and violin. Also, as you can see, I don't have any backup singers either....." Yuna smiled embarrassedly.

"4 different instruments huh? I'm only capable of playing 2. The flute and guitar," Hisako said, scratching her cheek.

"Ah! We should have a duet some day! I can tell my friends!"

Yuna thought for a moment at the suggested idea. "When I'm not busy. I can help compose a song if we ever do a duet," Yuna said shrugging.

"Kuguru-senpai, can you hold her hair together for a bit? I'll go get a hair tie!" Hanako exclaimed,running off.

"Hey, guys? Did you see someone you never seen before when you walked here? A girl with light purple hair? Like the color lavender..." Yuna asked curiously.

Everyone thought for a while, waiting for something to click into their heads.

"Light purple hair...?" Kuguru repeated.

"Can you, like, put in more details, yo?" Tetsuya asked.

"The girl had light purple hair tied into twin pigtails that reached above her waist and blue eyes. She wore a very hard to tell light blue t-shirt, a light brown jacket, and dark blue jeans matching with same colored sneakers. Her clothes had indescribable patterns on them... Her buddy, I believe, was an Inferno Armor Dragon and she looked to be around my age....." Yuna explained, trying to remember her appearance.

"She seems to be.. just as anti-social as I am.. maybe a bit more.. or a lot.." Yuna rambled as she remembered the girl's cold stare.

Hanako came back and gave the hair tie to Kuguru as she stood in front of Yuna to clip up her bangs.

"I didn't see anyone like that," Gao said confused.

Kiri and Tetsuya looked at each other and shrugged.

"The only person I saw and has purple hair is Kuguru. I didn't see anyone else really," Baku pointed and Kuguru nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't see an Inferno Armor Dragon either.." Hisako mentioned.

'That's strange..' Yuna thought.

"I'm sure I saw a girl like that.. Oh well.. Hey, where's Drum?"

Gao shook his head as he stared at the door. "Probably eating my mom's pudding. Let's go grab some ourselves," he offered as everyone stood up and headed to the living room.
