Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal:- Astral is what?

Chapter 13

Yuma's fingers tapped nervously on his school bench. His eyes went from the school board to the clock. And again the time moved slowly by. So terrible slow, that it was agony for him.

The sudden sound of the free time bell made Yuma jump and fall his seat.

"Yuma, are you alright?" Tetsuo asked half-laughing.

Yuma groaned from the pain. "Yeah, I think I am." He said, rubbing his back.

"You need to calm down Yuma. You're too tense. You don't even sleep during class anymore." Kotori said.

"I know, I know. I'm just worried." Yuma said.

Astral was almost 9 months pregnant, so he could be close to due date. And although Yuma was happy the baby was close from coming, it also made him anxious. Once, he even started to freak out when his D-gazer vibrated. He thought his sister or grandma were calling him about Astral. But it was just a message from Tetsuo who told his he forgot his deck again.

"Don't worry Yuma. Astral is in good hands. I think your Grandma would know what to do if Astral goes into labor." Kotori said while they were walking to the school square.

"Of course Astral is in good hands. I just hope I will be there when it happens." Yuma said. He then smiled. "I just can't believe I'm going to be a father soon."

Tetsuo grinned while giving Yuma a pat on the back. "And you will be a great father." Tetsuo said.

"I wasn't sure first. But you have grown so much in such a short time that I believe that you will be indeed a great father." Kotori said.

"Thanks guys. I am so lucky to have you guys." Yuma said happily before hugging his friends. "Come on, let us go. I am in a mood for a duel. What about you Tetsuo?" Yuma asked his friend with a grin.

"Bring it on pal." Tetsuo yelled out with a grin on his own.

Both boys grabbed the D-pads and gazers. "Duel disk, set! D-gazer, set! Duel!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Man, did I get schooled by Tetsuo again. But that was an awesome duel." Yuma said excited. He and Kotori were walking towards his home.

"You know what would be more exciting? That you actually win a duel against Tetsuo." Kotori joked.

"What is that supposed to mean!" Yuma shouted angrily making Kotori laugh. "It's not like I will lose to Tetsuo forever. One day I will beat him and then." Yuma suddenly stopped causing Kotori to bump into Yuma.

"Yuma? Why did you stop?" Kotori asked as she walked to stand beside him. She gasped when she saw the reason. The door of Yuma's home stood wide open, but on the surface of the door there were dents and scratches. It was like someone kicked open the door with full force.

"What happened?" Kotori asked in fear.

Yuma ran into the house to find it out. When he came in he saw a broken chair and a broken vase on the floor. The then notices a lot of footprints, showing a lot of people came by here. His breath got stuck in his throat when he saw a laser sword.

He heard Kotori coming in who was as shocked as he was.

"Grandma? Kari? Astral? Yuma called. No answer.

"Guys, are you here?" Yuma called again. This time Yuma heard a moan coming from upstairs.

He quickly ran up the stairs with Kotori behind him. He entered his room founding Kari and Haru lying unconscious on the floor.
