Duel Monsters: Primary's Story

Chapter 1: The Yuki Brothers

Another day, another morning, and here we are in the room of the main character of our story. And in the bed of this room, sleeps Lucas, Lucas Yuki. Lucas is 16 years old. Lucas is about average height for his age, possibly a bit taller, he has fairly long, black hair which is not even properly combed right. The only sign of his hair being fixed is when he uses his hands and brushes it to the left side of his head, only to cover his left eyebrow. Lucas has the most beautiful, crimson colored eyes you would ever see. His eyes were the color of blood, as if blood has spilled and stained the eyes into such a masterpiece.

Lucas is an intelligent young man who has been told he is able to accomplish any profession that he is willing to be committed to. Unfortunately, our young Lucas doesn't have any desire to be a responsible individual dedicated to the well being of society. He would rather waste his time on a silly card game known as "Duel Monsters". Well no matter, this is his story and I will just say the facts about our young protagonist as it is.

Lucas has just woken up from his slumber and was ready to face the day head on. He got up from his bed and out of his sweats. Lucas grabbed a black pollo shirt from his closet and puts it on. He then puts on his school's uniform which was basically a black jacket with gold buttons, black pants, white socks, and black shoes ( similar to Yugi's school uniform). He packed all of his notebooks and pencils into his bag, as well as his favorite red vest, and his deck box. Lucas never goes anywhere without his deck. He then headed for the door.

Lucas stopped himself right in front of his door for just one moment. He then gave a quick look over his shoulder and saw the green deck box that laid on his table. Lucas let out a small sigh and walked out the door.

Heading straight into the kitchen, Lucas met up with his older brother, Drew. Drew is 21 years old and is Lucas's legal guardian. He is a couple inches taller than Lucas and has black eyes instead of red like his brother. Drew bore the eyes of their father while Lucas bared the eyes of their mother. These two young men were the handsomest of brothers as they could be.

Well anyways, Drew was just finishing making breakfast for his little brother, scrambled eggs mixed with bacon bits with a side of toast. Drew was wearing an apron over his dress shirt that had the sleeves rolled up. Lucas couldn't help but grin at the sight of his older brother wearing an apron over his formal clothes.

"What's with that grin?" asked his older brother.

"Oh nothing," responded Lucas. "It's just that, you do realize you don't need an apron when making eggs right? Or can you truly get so clumsy and spill a drop of the egg whites on your perfect attire?"

"Mock me all you want, but i can't take the chance. Today my co-workers at Industrial Illusions and I are having a meeting with Kaiba Corp. to try to settle in terms of having the corporation continue. Ever sinced that incident with Pegasus, our company has been shot." Exclaimed Drew as he placed Lucas's plate on the table. " Everything that goes between the two must be perfect in order to keep our company in check so that there is not even the slightest chance for failure."

"No means of offense towards the company that pays you our rent money," stated Lucas. "But it does serve you guys right for kidnapping the Kaiba Corporation's little Kaiba brother."

"May I remind you that I didn't even know we started taking hostages, let alone a 'Duelist Kingdom'. I was too busy trying to make sure that the card shipments and company treaties were following the program properly."

"Yes. They obviously followed the program all too well," Lucas said mockingly.

"Seriously though. All this trouble from a children's card game. I'm still very shocked that our own head chairman was involved in this predicament."

"Yes well the game is very popular." Lucas has stated, while eating a bit of his breakfast, "Mmm. But it does make you wonder, why did he want to take control of the Kaiba Corporation? Or even why did he host a tournament based on a card game he created? Considering the fact that the guy who's company Pegasus was controlling, or rather tried to control, was also a professional at the game itself."

Drew, while putting on his jacket, replied, "Well you didn't seem to mind him having the tournament, except of course, being upset about not being invited." Lucas gave a somewhat pouty face but continued to eat as if it didn't bother him what his brother had said. Drew just continued on as he was grinning when he saw the face his little brother tried to hide, "There is also the fact that not only he's rich, but he hosted the tournament with his own creation, in which case people, the press and the courts will have no issue even though he was in charge of the kidnapping of the mini Kaiba."

"By the sound of it, you support Pegasus's actions," Lucas has stated as he got up from his chair and placed his plate in the sink, "Thank you for the food."

"Maximillian Pegasus is my employer, it is my duty to support and defend his decisions, however, i do not agree with the actions he took or the goal he was set out to accomplish," stood proud of his statement, Drew continued, "I still see it as a waste to even hold this tournament, not to mention wasting all that money on a machine that allows to project the images of the card game. Why spend so much money on a cardgame that has no financial benefits what so ever besides benefitting the chairman's bank account."

Lucas, wanting to change his brother's mind set, added, "This game does have some financial benefits. Certain tournaments offers prize money for a few of the finalists. Besides it being a money maker, Duel Monster is a game to have fun with friends and just enjoy ones self. May I remind you that you too were-"

"That is all behind me now. I need to focus more on trying to raise as much money as fast as possible that we can live off of. We need to focus on the more important matters. Schools, work."

"Our mom wouldve wanted us to also enjoy living." Lucas stated.

"But mom's not here anymore!"

The two brothers stood there for a moment in silenced. Lucas had his head down, regretting ever trying to change his brother's mind on Duel Monsters. They stood there in a tensed atmosphere. Lucas was about to say something until his brother interrupted his speech by embracing his little brother, not wanting to talk anymore. All

Drew said was, "I'm sorry. I miss them too."

Drew let go, got his suite case and headed out. As he was leaving, Drew said, "Don't be late for school. I'll see you when i get home. I left 2000 yen for you on the counter. In case you want to buy yourself something."

"Thank you." responded Lucas.

His brother stepped out the door and started heading for work. The two brothers had lost their parents when they were very young, Drew being 14 while Lucas was 9. They were both broken hearted whenever they were to bring up the fact that their parents were never coming back home. The older brother felt awful about saying such a thing about their mother. He let out a tear and looked up to the sky, thinking to himself, "I'm sorry."
