Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V: Our Fate Intertwined

Heartland Duel School: GODDAMN IT I'M LATE

Guys, I'm sorry for the wait and no the title isn't a reference to my poor updating skills, I was just uploading my book to Archive of Our Own and since I've never used it before, I felt it was wack. I forgot my next train of thought. So my book is now on 3 platforms: Wattpad, Quotev, and AO3. Enjoy this chapter.

She then smiled at the group and they all smiled back, even Shun. They all went walking to their homes, the first to depart being Allen and Sayaka as they lived in the opposite direction of the school entrance and bid everyone else farewells. The five rest walked the same direction and crossed the street before Kaito had to make a turn one way and leave, with Yuto leaving a few steps ahead making a turn opposite of Kaito. The last few people remaining were the Kurosaki siblings and Crystal. As they made their way to the last street, Crystal checked her phone and was alarmed.

"I'm going to be late! Sorry guys, but I need to bid farewell, See you tomorrow!"

Giving the siblings no time to answer, she ran and crossed the street where the siblings were waiting in with the few remaining seconds left, made it to the other side and waited for the same light that the siblings were waiting for, just across the street. Once allowed to cross, she ran while the siblings walked and she made it to a house a few feet behind another crossway, and rushly entered. The siblings walked and looked in slight amusement as they learned that Crystal lived across the street from their home. As the siblings neared their house, they both saw Crystal quickly exit her house with a one strap backpack similar to the one she had worn in the duel school and rush onward without noticing the siblings just to later disappear turning the corner. The siblings knew that she was busy but never expected her to be this busy. They went home and the siblings decided to keep tabs on when the platinum haired girl was going to return.

Time passed and it was already 11pm and still no sign of Crystal. At this point Ruri had fallen asleep in her room and Shun was in the living room, studying and almost falling asleep until a soft car rumble was heard and woke Shun from his sleeping state. He looked at the time and it was 11:30pm and he checked out the window and saw Crystal exit from a small limo with the Crystal Prep insignia on the doors. He saw her in a state of tiredness and saw her making her way to the door in a swaying motion and was going to check to see if she made it inside but his drowsiness got the better of him and darkness consumed his vision.

The next day, the two siblings woke up and prepared themselves for the new day of school. As they walked out of their house, they saw Crystal, across the street and a few steps ahead with headphones on, swaying while she walked and a tired expression. Ruri tried to call her name out to no answer. Crystal went on to check her phone and run on forward, leaving the two siblings confused.

~Flashback to Crystal's side of events leading to the Present~

Crystal finished the classes within the Academy at 10:00 pm and got on the small limo reserved for the top idol and asked the driver to stop by a fast food place as she hasn't had dinner yet. After she ordered and got her food (with a disguise of glasses and a hat) she proceeded to sit down in one of the empty table in a secluded area quietly enjoying her meal and once she finishes and cleans up her area, she proceeds to walk outside to where the driver is waiting for her to step in. A few minutes pass by and Crystal is already getting sleepy. She arrives home by 11:30 pm and thanked the driver before she steps out and the driver takes off. She doesn't notice Kurosaki looking through the window as her sleepiness starts to consume her vision. She opens her door and at that moment, she goes to complete a few tasks she had left and by 2 am she quickly makes it into her room, not even changing before she collapses on a makeshift bed.

The light rays hit Crystal's face as she stirs from her slumber. She checks the time and it marks as 6:20am. She goes to shower and starts getting ready for school, not noticing her lack of energy and grabs another copy of the same uniform and puts it on. She does her hair and eats her breakfast so by the time 8:20am rolls around she has her headphones out and she is out the door. She is too tired and too out of it to notice the siblings across the road behind her and looks at the time and starts to run. She remembers that she wanted to visit the library before class started so she runs onward and in 4 minutes makes it to the Duel School.
