Ezra woke up with a start, “Nooooo!!!!!!!!! Yuki!!!!” Then he looked around, “Oh, phew it was just a- woah!” He rolled off the rooftop, and landed on the grass face-first. He said, “Ow.” He stood up. His dream had involved Yuki being tortured, and Ezra unable to save her. Ezra looked at the sky, “So, any signs of bad weather coming?” It was cold, so he figured that it would snow if it rained today. Ezra got dressed, and saw that Yuki was up as well. Ezra walked out side, and said, “Yo. Miss me?” Yuki turned around, and kissed him. He was surprised, and his eye’s were wide for a second, but he closed them after a while. Yuki released him, and held his face, “I had the worst dream last night……….” Ezra said, “Me to, but you go first.” Yuki said, “You were tortured to death, and I was aloud to go free without anything that could harm me so I couldn’t see you……………..” Ezra gasped, “I had a dream where you were tortured right in front of my face, and I was tied up so I couldn’t do anything…………………” Yuki looked at him, and put her head on his chest, “Ezra, I’m so scared that I’ll lose you……………..” Ezra smiled and kissed her hair, “As long as I’m not the one dead I will never be apart from you for to long, all I have to do is use some chakra. But if I die, then just find someone else, I want you to be happy………………………….” Yuki smiled, “I’ll never do that, I’ll go to the afterlife as soon as I get a sharp enough knife.” Ezra touched her nose with his finger, “Lets stop talking about this now, I think we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it.” She smiled at him, “Yeah……………….” Ezra said, “Tomorrow, when we were supposed to be together………………. I know it was supposed to be romantic but………………………. Could we duel?” Yuki smiled at him, “Ezra, I wasn’t going for romance, I just want to be with you………………………… And I really want you to see some of my cards, they aren’t that bad…………………” Ezra smiled, “Yuki, if I love you I will never dislike your cards, and they weren’t the problem, my cards just have an inflated Ego.” Yuki smiled, “Thanks………………………… but when we first met, they were talking trash about you, and they were sort of cruel…………………………. I’m so sorry your cards left you………………..” Ezra smiled, “Yuki, I didn’t tell you this because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings but…………………….my cards, one of the reasons that they left was because they thought that you were a savage…………………..” Yuki heard this, and started to cry, “Your cards thought that I was a savage?” Ezra cursed himself, “What was I thinking? I shouldn’t have told you that. I’m s-” She kissed him in the middle of the sentence, and Ezra closed his eye’s as he thought, Why doesn’t she give me some kind of warning? She released him and said, “I’m sorry, I am the one who caused it……………….” Ezra held her waist, “No, you are not. My cards are idiots, and that’s final.” Yuki turned around, and wrapped her arm’s around his neck and said, “I guess they are…………………….” Ezra said, “I would have trashed them if they had kept saying- no wait, they never said that stuff, Master said that that’s what they thought, and he wasn’t lying……………………….. But I love you.” Yuki smiled, “I love you to.” They kissed, and this time Ezra had seen it coming. His mind was like, Yes! They kissed for a while, and when they pulled away from each other, Yuki said, “You know, I am so happy that you wrenched open my heart……………………… you confessed your love…………………………… it seems that when someone comes near death for you, you fall in love with them……………………..” Ezra laughed, “I love you.” Yuki smiled, “I love you to.” They leaned in to kiss again, but then the door opened. Ezra heard this, and turned around, blushing and rubbing the back of his head with his hand. Jaden smiled, “This is a cute scene, and this makes you even more perfect for each other. Your both early birds.” Ezra and Yuki blushed when they heard this. Ezra said, “You ready for the exams?” Jaden smiled, “Yeah.” Yuki said, “This going to be fun, I just hope that a few people cheer me on…………………..” Ezra smiled, “On the high chance that I’m in the stands, I’ll cheer like there is no tomorrow.” Yuki smiled at him, “And I’ll cheer you on. And guess what?” Jaden said, “What?” Yuki laughed, “We don’t have class today.” Jaden said, “Yesss!” Ezra laughed, “What are you going to do?” Yuki said, “Well, I would be with you most of the day, but can we say we’ll eat lunch together?” Ezra smiled, “I would love that.” Jaden said, “Aww, how cute is that?” Ezra did not blush this time. His face became red, and steam came out of his head, “Will you stop that? It’s really starting to get on my nerves!” Jaden looked at Ezra, who was really angry. Yuki laughed, “Good Luck, Jaden.” Jaden went inside, and Ezra cooled down, “Thank you. Now, where were we?” Yuki smiled, “I think that we were just saying that we would eat lunch together. And now for the final touch………….” She and Ezra kissed, and Jaden watched them through the window. Syrus said, “Umm, why do you watch them?” Jaden said, “No real reason.” Ezra released Yuki, and said, “Can I ask you something really fast?” Yuki said, “Sure, what is it?” Ezra focused his Chakra sensing on Yuki, and said, “Would you ever give up on me willingly? I just want to be sure…….” Yuki smiled at him, “No, never.” Ezra sighed in relief, “You weren’t lying, and that makes me feel really happy…………………” Yuki smiled, “If you asked me that, would you ever give up on me willingly?” She was close enough to sense Chakra, and Ezra said, “No way.” They kissed, and Jaden was hysterical. Chumley said, “You know, its not nice to laugh at someone’s relationship.” Jaden stopped laughing, “Fine.” Syrus said, “I wonder what replacement cards Ezra has?” Jaden smiled, “We’ll see, because today he is going to duel.” Syrus looked at him, confused. Then Chumley said, “Whatever.” He fell asleep, and Jaden said, “Well, I guess all we can do is wait……….” Syrus nodded, “Or……………..” Jaden smiled, “I want to wait…………” Outside, Ezra pulled away and folded his arm’s, “Some people will come for one of us, I can feel it………………………..” Yuki smiled at him, “And we’ll be able to stop them, right?” Ezra smiled, “Yeah…………………..” Yuki smiled and said, “Okay, well, I guess I’ll see you at lunch?” Ezra turned around, and kissed her on the cheek, “Yeah, unless we cross paths along the way.” Yuki smiled, and jumped away. Ezra looked at the girl as snow started to fall, “No matter what, I will protect you. Yuki Ookami.” Ezra looked at the sky, and a snow flake landed on his open eye. It burned and he said, “Ow ow ow ow ow! What did I ever do to you?”

Jaden walked in the dorm, and said, “Now, what to do what to do………………………………........” Jaden then had an idea, “I could eat! Yeah, that’s probably what I will do!” He looked in the fridge, and saw his favorite food, “Sweet!” He ate it, and looked outside, “This has been one heck of a year…………… And I bet it'll just get even weirder........................." He ate and ate, until he hit something. He picked it up after saying, "Whats this?" He brushed the food off of it, and it read, "Congratulations! You have won one year of Duel Monsters Cards! Call this number for details!" Jaden fell off his chair, and said, "Thanks, but no thanks......" He threw it in the trash, and said, "I like my deck just how it is."

Naruto waited for Hinata on a cliff, and said, "The Exams are today, I wonder how Hinata feels........." He took out his deck, and said, "This is it." Then a figure showed up in the distance. Naruto squinted, and saw that it was Hinata. He ran up, and said, "How are you?" Hinata smiled, "I'm good." They looked at each other lovingly, and Naruto said, "You have a good time with your friends?" Hinata nodded, "Yeah, I just wish that you were there, it was a blast." Naruto smiled, "I'm just glad you got to go." Hinata smiled, "I still wish you could have been there....... It was fun, we got to do duel puzzle's, and we had snacks, it was so fun........." Naruto kissed her on the curse mark, and the Curse Mark started to give Hinata terrible pain. She fell over, and said, "Ngh, ow." Naruto looked at her worriedly, and said, "Are you okay?" Hinata said, "I'm fine, it's just my mark........." Naruto said, "You can't be touched by anything where the curse mark is? Thats a pain.......... but at least........" He helped her up, and said, "This isn't off limits." He kissed her on the lips, and when they released each other, Hinata said, "I still don't understand.......... how can you think I look beautiful with this on my forehead?" Naruto looked at her incredulously, "That Mark is the ugly mark, not a part of the beautiful Hinata that I have the pleasure of dating." Hinata's eye's were wide, and she closed them as she said, "Naruto......... thank you...." They kissed, and in the afterlife, Hikari looked down on them, "Those two........... with Ezra and Sasuke by their side, they will never be split." She smiled, and looked at them, "Hinata, be strong, and don't let what everyone else say's get to you."

Sasuke sat in the lunch place for Ra Yellow's. He had just escaped a mob of fangirls, and was tired. He had figured that the girls would think he wasn't very good looking, but in fact they felt sorry for him. Sasuke sighed, "Now I think I understand where Ezra was coming from when he said, 'I would never want a mob of girls chasing me!'" He stood up, and got lunch. There he saw a girl with purple hair that went down to her shoulder's, and blue eye's. She had a Ra jacket on, and when she looked at Sasuke, he blushed for the first time in his life. She said, "What would you like to eat?" Sasuke looked at the choices, and said, "I'll have a Hamburger with nothing but Cheese, Meat, and Pickles and fries." He held his plate to give it to her, and she put the food on the plate, and he walked away, still blushing. He sat down, and said, "Now I think I know how it feels to blush.........." He ate off his blush, and when he finished his fries first [He always ate his side first so he could eat his whole meal] he saw someone put their plate across from his. He looked up and saw the girl who had given him his food. She said, "Excuse me, but can I sit here?" He blushed as he said, "Sure, be my guest." She thanked him, and sat down. Sasuke looked at her as he thought, She is beautiful............ He said after a while, "Excuse me, but whats your name? I'm Sasuke Uchiha." She looked up, and said, "Sasuke...... thats a cool name, I'm Hikaru Kisama. I see now why you are adored by so many people.........." Instantly Sasuke's blush weant away, and he thought, Oh, Great. Thanks, universe, I really needed another Fangirl, and after I was just thinking that she was beautiful to..... Hikaru looked at him, and said kindly, "Is something wrong?" Sasuke looked at her sadly, "I just hate.........." Hikaru could tell that it was that he hated her, and she said, "It's fine if you hate me............ I get that all the time................" She started to cry, and Sasuke looked at her worriedly, "T-Thats not what I was going to say, honest!" She continued to cry, and Sasuke thought urgently, Darn, I shouldn't have paused there.......... Oh no, I'm pausing again! What would Ezra say? He thought, and then it hit him, "Hikaru.............." What he was about to say was more true than he knew, "Hikaru, I hate being the center of attention for fangirls, not you, I think your wonderful......." He closed his eye's, "I just said that, and to a girl. Duel Academy must be frying my brain......... but I really do like you, Hikaru........" She looked up, and said, "You mean that?" Sasuke nodded, "Yeah....................." He looked at her, "I wish that there was just one girl who didn't think I was cool, but that liked me for who I was................." Hikaru smiled, "I like you for who you are...................... You are a boy who has been through so much pain.................. I was quick to cry.................." Sasuke smiled, "It's fine. But you said that you got that all the time......... What did you mean?" Hikaru said, "People don't really think much about my Purple Hair, they think I'm ugly, and they don't even try to know me............." Sasuke said, "I would trade places with you any day..........." Hikaru sat up, and sat next to him, "What do you mean?" Sasuke looked at her in wonder, and said, "I would rather people thinking that I was ugly than Chasing me............. and I think your beautiful............." Hikaru gasped, and said, "You really think I'm beautiful?" Sasuke leaned in, "Yeah." Ezra was listening in, he was trying to take a nap before he saw Yuki, but they were making it hard. He whispered, "I never thought that Sasuke would fall in love..............." He smiled, "Oh well............." He looked down, and saw them touching forehead's. Then something happened that threw his mind into Chaos [yet again.] Sasuke and Hikaru kissed, and Ezra's eye's widened. He jumped down, and said, "Wow Sasuke, I never thought that you would find a lover........." Sasuke pulled away, and blushed, "Why are you.....?" Ezra smirked, "I was here first. I was taking a nap." He pointed up, and said, "You in love? That'll teach you to not make fun of me." Sasuke and Hikaru leaned on each other, and Sasuke said, "I guess......" Then Ezra ran off, saying, "Well, I'm happy for you! Later!" Sasuke looked at Hikaru, and said, "Well, I guess................" Hikaru hugged him, "What do you guess?" Sasuke smiled, "I have no idea what comes next........." Hikaru smiled, and said, "I think we kiss again, what do you think?" Sasuke leaned in, "I think your right......" They kissed, and Ezra said, "I swear, I can never be not surprised. Sasuke, be nice from now on, okay?" He ran off to find Yuki.

Yuki carried a picnic basket, and sat down. She looked at the tree's, and said, "I hope Ezra is okay........" She thought about Ezra and what had happened, and then she heard footsteps and a voice, "Yukiiiiiii!!!!!!!" She stood up, and saw Ezra. He saw her, and ran over. They hugged, and Yuki said, "How are you?" Ezra pulled away, and looked at her lovingly, "Kinda confused, honestly........." Yuki looked at him, and put her arms around his neck, "Why are you confused?" Ezra put his arms around her waist, and said, "Sasuke is in love..............." Yuki looked at him with joy, "Thats great! But why are you confused?" Ezra said, "I just never saw it coming, you know what I mean?" Yuki smiled, "Yeah, I guess............" Ezra smiled, "But enough about Sasuke and Hikaru! This is about us." Yuki laughed, and said, "Her name is Hikaru? But your right." They kissed, and both had tears running down their faces. They released each other, and Ezra said, "What's wrong?" Yuki wiped her tears, "I'm just as happy as a person who just won a sweepstakes or something............. I get to be with you........." Ezra smiled, "Thats how I feel........." Yuki smiled, and they pulled back into each other's grip. Yuki said, "I love you." Ezra said, "I love you to............. and I am so glad that I'm here with you............" They kissed, and they were wiped of all sadness, pain, and all negative feelings for the moment. All they knew is that they loved each other, and that nothing would split them, at least not today.

Ezra smiled as he walked onto the duel arena, he was back in his element. He was first to go, and Yuki was in the stands, cheering for him. Jaden was also on the arena, and he said, "So, now's the exams, huh." Ezra grinned, "Yeah." He looked at the other side of the arena, and a tester was there. The tester said, "You have five more minutes." Ezra nodded, and took out his three replacement cards, and said, "Okay, you three, time to show me what you can do." He put them back in his deck, and said, "Let's go!" He turned his duel disk on, and the tester did as well. The tester knew all about Ezra, so he drew, "I draw! And I summon, Dark Rat in attack mode! Now I place on face down on the field and end my turn." Dark Rat appeared again before Ezra, and Ezra said, "This guy again? Cool. I draw." He looked at his hand, and pulled a card out of it, "I play, Triple Summon! Now I can normal summon a card three times! I summon, Elemental Hero Avian in attack mode!" Avian came onto the field, and the crowd gasped. Ezra smiled, "I gave Jaden his Avian, don't you remember?" Jaden smiled, "Yeah. It was a birthday present. You had a spare?" Ezra nodded, "And more. I summon, Cloud Warrior in attack mode!" A monster that looked like Cloudman but with armor, came onto the field, and said, "I am Cloud Warrior! Ezra." Ezra smiled as he said, "Yeah?" Warrior said, "Just know that I'm glad for you, and I do not think that your girlfriend is a terrible person, unlike my student." Ezra blushed as he said, "Thanks, but I'll have to sacrifice you to summon one of my replacement cards, is that okay?" Warrior nodded, "Yes." Avian also nodded, "Of course." The tester was confused, "Hey kid, your spending more time talking to yourself then you are dueling, get in the game!" Ezra smiled, "I sacrifice my two monster's to summon, the one, the only, Blue Eye's, White Dragon!" Blue Eye's came onto the field, and starred down Dark Rat. The crowd gasped, and Ezra smiled, "Hey Blue Eye's, how have you been?" Blue Eye's nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Good." Ezra smiled, "Okay, now I play, Tornado Warning! Now, if I have a level eight or higher monster on the field, I can special summon Tornado Dragon in attack mode!" Tornado Dragon came onto the field, and said, "Good Job, Ezra." Ezra nodded as he said, "And now, because he was special summoned, Tornado's attack points rise by 1000! Now I play, Dark Magic! If I have Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl in my deck, and room on my field, then I can remove two monster's from play to summon them! So come on out, you two!" Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl came onto the field. The crowd was in aw, those three cards, Blue Eye's, Dark Magician and Magician Girl were the rarest cards out there! Then Ezra smiled, "I have one card left, what do you think it is?" The tester smiled, "Something that won't effect the outcome of this duel." Ezra smiled as he placed the card in the spell/trap card place, "Wrong! I play, Heavy Storm! This destroys all spell and trap cards on the field! So say goodbye!" The cards were destroyed, and Ezra smiled, "Now, Tornado, destroy Dark Rat! And once he's done, All of you, attack! First Dark Magician, the Girl, then Blue eyes!" It was over, and in one turn! Ezra smiled, "Second time this year. Oh well, Jaden, your done, right?" Jaden nodded, as he finished his game, "Good job. Oh, and keep Magician Girl from Syrus, okay?" Ezra laughed, "Okay."

Yuki walked onto the arena, and said, "I need to show Ezra my cards, I can't let him think that they are savages." She looked at the tester, who smiled, "So, your the lover of Ezra Uchiha, huh. Thats good, I'll avenge my friend!" They turned their duel disks on, and Yuki said, "Thats right! But don't take me lightly! I'll go first! I draw." She looked at her hand, and pulled a card out, "I summon, Dark Wolf in attack mode!" A wolf appeared on the field, and said, "Yo." Ezra smiled, "I should have seen that coming. Hey Yuki, sweet monster!" Yuki heard that, and blushed, "Thanks." Ezra smiled as Jaden said, "You do think differently from your cards, don't you?" Ezra smiled, "Yeah." Yuki smiled, "Okay, now I play his effect! If he can't attack because it's my first move, I can still attack you! Now, go!" The tester said, "Wh-what!?" Dark Wolf bit him, and he fell to the ground, with 2400 life points left. Yuki smiled, "Now I play a spell card, double attack! This lets my monster attack twice! Now go!" Wolf bit the tester again, and the tester was crying. Ezra smiled, "Good Job! He only has 800 life points left!" Yuki smiled, "Now I play, sacrifice of doom! I can only play this card when my monster has 2000 or less life points, but it's still good! Now, I sacrifice my monster, and you receive damage equal to half of his attack points! So say goodbye!" The duel was over in one move. Ezra's eye was wide, "Wow." Jaden looked at the duel, "Tell me that she's not that good." Ezra smiled, "She is." He jumped down, and said to Yuki, "You are amazing, it took me longer to win mine." Yuki smiled, "No, you just don't have the same deck as me, I have cards that do that for me. You don't. I think we're equal." Ezra smiled, "Yeah, I can't wait to duel you." They kissed, and the crowd said, "Awwwwwwwww, how cute is that?" Ezra pulled away, and blushed. Yuki held him tighter, "Don't worry, I'm here, just think of it as back in the forest." Ezra smiled and they touched foreheads. The curse mark panged, but he didn't mind, "I love you." Yuki smiled, "I love you to."
