Yuri looked up at the sky. It was clear and bright blue, very beautiful. He slowly stopped rowing to look at it some more. 

"Hey, why'd you stop?" Yuri jumped, not remembering that Azuka was there. 

"Sorry," He said, "But look at the-" He was cut off by Asuka giving him her cloak. He slipped it on, and saw that she somehow got up on the bridge above them. Up on the bridge, was also a girl in a red jumpsuit and three men, who looked like they were from Academia. He rowed under the bridge, out of sight of the men, he hoped. He could hear Asuka and the men begin to duel. 

After a moment of silence from up above him, he saw Asuka peek her head from over the bridge. The girl did, too. She looked a lot like Serena, identical, even. She had pink hair in pigtails, and blue eyes. 

"Come on, you'll be safe with us." Asuka and the girl got down to the boat and Yuri began to row again. 

"Serena, weren't you staying at the school?" Yuri asked. He wasn't completely convinced that she was Serena, but hey, at least give it a try. 

"Sorry, but my name isn't Serena," She said, "My name is Yuzu." 

"We're here." Asuka said, giving Yuri a hint to stop. He did, and they got out. They walked into their duel school, and Asuka said, "Welcome to You Show Duel School!" 

"You Show?" Yuzu repeated it in a dazed voice. 

"And in here, is our head." She opened a door, where Yusho was, and let Yuzu in. 

"I'm gonna go see Serena." Yuri told Asuka, so she wouldn't get the whole school to stop what they were doing to make sure that Academia hadn't found them. 

"Ok," She said. He checked the duel arena, where two duelists were dueling. There was also a small group watching them, but Serena wasn't in the group. He then snuck a peek into Yusho's room. She wasn't in there, but Yuzu and Asuka still were. He finally checked out the back, where there was a door that led to the small dock that they had built, for any emergencies. There was a clear and beautiful patch of water by it, and Serena had stuck her feet into it.

"Hey." She said, without looking up at him. She had taken her ponytail out, and put the hair tie around her wrist. He sat by her, and smiled. He couldn't believe that about a few months ago, they barely knew each other, but now he was smiling at her, and not a I'm-gonna-beat-you smile, like he used to do. He took off the cloak hood, and got up. 

"We have a visitor, and it's not Academia." He said, helping Serena up. 

I sure hope not. Serena thought. Yuri led her inside, were they saw Asuka and Yuzu outside of Asuka's room. 

"Hi Yuri, and Yuzu, this is Serena," Asuka said, "Serena, this is Yuzu." Serena waved aquardly, clearly disturbed by the girl that looked like her wasn't a mirror. She soon shook it off, then said, "Asuka, you should give her some other clothes, like your old pink one." 

"Come in here," Asuka led Yuzu into her room. 

"I wanna see Yusho." Serena said, and Yuri followed her to his room. She opened the door, and saw that Yusho seemed like he was getting ready to go somewhere. 

"What are you doing?" Serena asked. Yusho looked a them. 

"Yuzu told me what was happening at Academia and what they've been doing since the XYZ invasion." He said, "So, me and Asuka are going there." 

"Help! Please! They know, I think!" a boy came running in. 

"Yusho.. academia.. they know.." He said through panting breaths. 

"Go and evacuate everyone," Yusho asked kindly, yet dead serious. 

"Yusho, I want to come to Academia with you!" Serena pleaded. 

"No," Yusho said. 

"Why? What harm will it do?" 

"A lot of harm, if you came along, you'd put yourself in danger." 

"How so?" Serena was beginning to talk in 'her voice'. Both Yuri and Yusho knew that she'd try everything she could do to come along, or at least find out why she couldn't come. Yusho glanced at Yuri for help, but he couldn't do anything to help. His mind was blank. Yusho gave in after a long pause, saying, "Fine, you may come, but you stay with me or Asuka at all times."

"Ok." She said. 

"OPEN UP!"  They froze at the sound of shouting and banging coming from the entry door. They walked to Asuka's room, as fast as they could. Yuri knocked on her door, saying "Any day now!" 

"Ok, we're ready." She and Yuzu came out. Yuzu wore the pink outfit that Asuka wore the day when he met Professor and Serena. 

"Serena and Yuri are coming with us." Yusho told Asuka. 

"Ok, I'll be- Hey, wait a minute.." Yuri turned to Serena. "You didn't ask if I wanted to come, so that means..." 

"Come on!" Serena sprinted out the back door, "The next boat to Academia will be here soon!" 

She, Yusho, and Asuka went out the door. Yuzu took Yuri by the had, acknowledging that he was stunned. 

"Well, I guess you're coming with us, then." Yuzu said, running to catch up with the others.

Oh gosh, Yuri thought as he ran to catch up, too, What the heck have I gotten myself into now?
