Chapter 3: Memories Of Nobody

You walked down the streets of Maiami City just like everyday. Wearing a pair of shades and a cap with a hoodie over it was the best disguise you can make for the early afternoon, you don't want people bugging you about being a pro duelist. You just wanted a day off today after yesterday's crazy events and you stuffed a lollipop in your mouth.

You probably look like some suspicious stalker and a creep who's being a pedophile, especially with the little kids walking in front of you. You turned the corner down an alley way and found yourself going towards the warehouse. It was empty as usual. You took off your shades and just looked up at the azure sky, the breeze relaxing as usual.

You dug in your pocket and took out the card you despised with all your heart. You don't know why you still had Polymerization but thankfully you weren't about to collapse about it again. It doesn't seem to affect you as much then when you dueled. You heard something faint and turned around instantly, putting on your shades in a quick motion, "who's there?!"

No one replied back to you and a growl escaped your lips. You just wanted a day off but you felt as if someone was stalking you this whole day. Due to your sharp instincts, you could hear someone's faint breathing. It was faint, but the wind was allowing it to travel to your ears. You stretched and placed your hands in your pockets, "man! Today is so tiring."

You began walking off but then suddenly jumped out of sight. You noticed a shadow figure between two warehouses and jumped down from above while landing behind him. You grabbed his arm to prevent him from escaping. "Have you been following me this whole day?"

The man didn't give you an answer. "Im talking to you!" You took off your shades, revealing your [e/c] orbs. The male turned his head to look at you and his eyes went wide. He pulled down the mask covering his mouth and you saw his face. "Wow, you look a lot like this other dude I know, his name is Yuya." Was the first thing you told the male.

"I'm not Yuya, I'm Yuto," he said. "[Y/n]."

"Yuto.... Hmmm... I don't know, you don't seem to ring a bell," you mumbled while trying your best to look back into your past. Was there a guy named Yuto? "Sorry, I don't know you. But you know me, care to explain?"

"You don't remember? We use to hang out in Heartland when we were young. It was rare, but I could never forget you."

"If you said we rarely hung out then I may not remember. You must be the second Xyz user, are one of your comrade's name Kurosaki Shun?" You just couldn't put your finger on what he was talking about. You did remember meeting someone else who you were really close with in Heartland but that was it. That was also years ago, and you didn't want to remember what happened after when Academia attacked.

"Shun is a comrade of mine, we all use to hang out together. I don't understand, we thought you were turned into a card because we couldn't find you after Academia's attack ended but we hoped you didn't and went to search for you and Ruri. Don't you remember anything?" His eyes looked like he was begging. Begging for you to remember something.

But nothing came to your head. You released his arm from your hold and looked down, "look, Yuto, I really don't remember anything. If anything, I remember someone else from the Xyz Dimension, but you're all left a mystery to me. I'm sorry." You jumped up and onto the roof of a warehouse. You looked down at the duo haired male before jumping off, going away from the male's current location.

~*~*~*~*~

"The Maiami Championship is slowly coming up ain't it? I should join the Junior tournament, then I'll just fight against little kids instead of a bunch of teens, it'll be easier to entertain," you joked.

"You're joining the Junior Youth, you're obviously too old to be joining Junior," Reiji pointed out the obvious.

A small pout left you, "aw, but I wanted to face against your little brother. You know I'll make it to the finals, and even if I lost, I'm still a part of the Lancers. You're setting this tournament up to find the strongest and most suitable duelists who'll help you defeat Akaba Leo so it's no big deal for me to join."

"That may be true, but we need someone to personally make sure the duel will go on without any precautions. We don't know if Academia will attack but there's a high possibility they will in a surprise ambush. I'll need you to help," the male explained.

You raised your hand and placed it on the side of your head in a small salute, "leave it to me Leader!" You flashed him a goofy smile and a small smirk formed on the older male's face, you were someone he could rely on for anything. Or maybe it's because you two had held a bond for quite a while now.

"By the way..." Your sudden cheerful tone died down. "What did you tell that Kurosaki guy to do? You said that you would duel him if he did a favor for you, what was it?"

The male with the red scarf looked down at you and your eyes clashed. He pushed up his glasses then continued looking at the many screens in the control room, "I just simply asked him to be a part of the tournament. He took up the offer, it's a simple way for him getting what he wants and it may also give a chance at him becoming one with the Lancers."

"I see..." You thought back to the day Academia raided Heartland and winced. After all, Academia nearly turned everyone in Heartland to cards, including harmless citizens. You then shook away any more thoughts on the past and grinned, "let's just focus on the championship for now. We'll be able to stop Akaba Leo once we gather the right duelists to fight side by side on."
