Yusei was part way through tuning up Crow's duel runner, when there was a knock on the door. I groaned as I stood up to answer it, not wanting to leave Yusei. But someone had to. I opened the door to two men in smart black suits with official looking hair cuts. One of them was holding a breif case.

"Hello, we are looking for the members of team 5Ds, I'm Ren Takeshi and this is my college Ichiruo Mishinma. We represent the Kaiba Corporation and Duel academy." said the taller, tougher looking of the two said as they both presented their Ids.

"I'm Jack Atlas, lead runner for team 5Ds, but I think you might be looking for Yusei, he's the brains of our team." I said stepping aside to let them in.  "I'll go get him."

"What's this Yusei doing?" the smaller one asked.

"He's running routine maintenance on our duel runners." I answered them, feeling like a butler. I walked quickly to the area where Yusei was just getting out from under Crow's duel runner.

"Who was at the door?" Yusei asked whipping the grease off his hands with a piece of cloth.

"The reps from Kaiba corp." I answered, "They are waiting for us in the other room. Well you, specifically."

"You get Crow, I'll go start kissing up to them, we need to get this sponsorship, it will save us tons on parts." Yusei said starting to move past me, I stopped him by putting my arm out. We were both blushing from the closeness, and the eye contact. I pulled my scrambled mind together.

"Are you sure, he'll look like shit, I did break his nose." I whispered to Yusei reminding him what I'd done.

"I'm sure. I think I can come up with a good reason for his nose." Yusei answered me. "Besides, he must have cleaned himself up some." I nodded and let Yusei go, as I went to the bathroom, knowing Crow would be in there in all likely hood.

I knocked on the door.

"What?" came Crow's pissed off voice.

"The reps are here, are you presentable?" I said through the door. "Yusei's with them making with the niceties."

"I just finished up, I hope Yusei has a good excuse for my nose." Crow said coming out of the bathroom. He looked stupid with gauze from the first aid kit up his nose, he also had the beginning of panda eyes coming. I snorted a laugh. Crow glared at me. I swept quickly toward the stairs.

"I you look ridiculous Crow." I called to him over my shoulder. 

"And whose fault is that?" Crow asked as he rushed after me. "Yours for landing a punch on my nose."

"No, yours for making Yusei mad." I whispered as we joined Yusei and the reps in our makeshift common room.

"Ah, Crow. Thanks for finding him Jack." Yusei said calmly, a sweet and casual smile on his face.

"Well this is important after all." I replied. Me and Crow formed up behind Yusei, me on the right and Crow on the left.

"I'm glad to see you've cleaned yourself up after tripping down the stairs." Yusei said smoothly. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, Yuse, we've all had worse in the past." Crow answered as we were clued into Yusei's excuse for Crow's state. It was believable.

"I hope you are alright, Mr Hogan." said the tall Ichiruo.

"Yes, sir. I am a bit of klutz about the house sometimes." Crow said pretending to be bashful.

"Good, because we have good news for you gentlemen." said Ichiruo, "Kaiba corp has decided to give your team the sponsorship. We are here so you can sign the contract. Kaiba corp will fund your entry fees for competitions, turbo or otherwise, and the parts for your duel runners should you need them."
