13 Awakening

After the meeting with Adam Maxwell, Yuya and Yuto thought it was all a dream and that it hadn't happened. They had been looking for the old man for so long now and Milla was finally reunited with him even though his time was almost up. Little did they know that Adam could just answer a few questions but anything about the Cursed Child and their connection to the other lords was a downsider, Adam was like Claraviel when it came to the topic. He knew the legend and myth about them but didn't have any other information of it at all.

Adam had never known about Yuya's existence but he instantly knew he was Yoko's son just by looking at him. Adam was glad that Milla had a sibling of the other clan despite them not being blood related, realizing that Yoko had passed away. He even told the crimson eyed boy to be careful of his gift as well the ability to talk with dragons as there was someone that wanted this power and the Cursed Child for themselves. The former Maxwell had also warned them that they would be in a lot more danger now that they knew that Milla, Velvet and Sorey were three of four keys to open highly powerful seals that keep great darknesses away from both worlds. There were other ways but the four 'Lords' were one of the easiest ways to break those off but without the identity of the Cursed Child then they're still in the safe zone for the time being.

Yuya was looking troubled out the window of the travel bus forwards a destination he was all too familiar with. The crimson eyed boy had forgotten about the annual school trip to a hotel in the mountains with the duel club of the school for experience and right now they were having a stop to stretch their legs as well doing their needs, Yuya took the time to talk with Milla for some time as Yuto was outside messaging with Shun about what happened in case if he got attacked.

The next day was the town's anniversary and Enright's clubs were celebrating it in different ways, the dueling club had always celebrated in a hotel and watch the celebration performance together. The owners didn't take any charges and really liked to have their hotel to good use since it wasn't really popular nowadays because of the new ones in the city. This year was really different since Yusho had called their principal and they came up with the idea that both schools should celebrate together for once to get their students together. But Yuya had some bad feeling getting into his chest right now and it was getting worse the closer they were getting to the hotel.

"I don't know about this, Sis." Yuya replied through his headset to not let anyone else hear what Milla was saying on the other side.

"You've been so excited for this trip, that's the only thing you've been talking about." Milla said to him. "There is no turning back now, Yuya. I know you're worried about the organization and the other beings that are after you but you're by people who know you. You have Yuto, Yuri and Shun with you if anything would happen."

"I know but... Serena is with us too. An animal shifter from the other side, I don't know what will happen now that she is with us. Especially with Yuri around too." Yuya explained unsure. "I don't want to think about what she is going to do to us."

"You'll be fine, Yuya." Milla assured him gently. "If you're ever in trouble, trust the people around you instead of counting on me to help you every time. You have Yuto by your side all the time, you can fight together with us now. I know you think that you're weak because of those latest ones but you have yet to know your style of fighting."

"My own style of fighting?" Yuya asked confused as Yuto came back.

"Yes. My style is a mix of my spells and skills as a swordswoman, I usually try to do as many hits I can by using my skills and the Four. You've seen how my friends fight and their styles, you just have to find the one that fits you. Once your wound is healed, I'll help you in training then to help you find that style." Yuya smiled at his sister's kindness.

"Thanks Milla."

"Don't mention it. Just have a great weekend with your friends and forget those problems for now. We'll talk more about this when you, Yuto and father get home, alright?"

"Yeah, see you later." The siblings ended their conversation there and Yuya took out his headphones as well shutting down his phone for the time being.

"Are you still worried about what Milla said about your powers and the others' purpose?" Yuto asked a little concerned.

"Yeah, I can't stop thinking about it." Yuya explained with a small but sad smile. "It really has me worried since after we talked to Adam." Yuto sat down in the seat next to him and placed a hand on the crimson eyed boy's to give him some comfort.

"There's no need to worry about it." Yuto said with a gentle smile at his boyfriend, who glanced at him. "I know Serena is with us on this trip but we're in public everywhere in the hotel. We even have Shun and your dad here, she won't be able to make a move on you even if she tries."

"It is not only that. It's about Yuzu too." Yuya replied. "She must have heard me or Serena when talking about the Secrecy eyes because she asked me what it was that day."

"Wait, what?! Why didn't you tell me about it?" Yuto asked in shock before he noticed the emotion in Yuya's eyes, seeing the small spot of fear in them. "Does she suspect you being one?"

"I don't think so but we have to keep this from her. I'm not ready to tell Yuzu everything yet, it'll put her in a lot more danger than it is already."

"Yeah, the dark side of Otherworld is really dangerous. They know Shun helped us before but Yuzu doesn't know anything what Otherworld is like and would be haunted as well being used as a hostage to get you." Yuya nodded in agreement. "Well, if she does anything that would bring any more suspicion. I'll make sure that there aren't any trances of it anywhere." Yuya smiled at his boyfriend.

"Thanks Yuto, I'm glad I can always count on you!"

Yuto smiled as well, glad that he managed to bring some comfort to Yuya's troubled mind. They could always count on each other and besides they had people that knew of Otherworld with them at times since both schools were going to the same location. Everyone then got back into their busses forwards their destination with happy faces, all the members of the dueling club were talking about what they would do when they get there since Yuri and Serena were new to the tradition, some of them actually explained everything about the annual tradition that they needed to know.

Soon enough, the big hotel came into view to everyone in the two busses. Yuto and the new students were surprised over the big building on top of the mountain, it was like a mansion with a lot of rooms to be enough for all the students of both Chenskyra and Enright. The busses took to a stop and all of the students got out and the Kurosaki siblings immediately walked over to Yuya, Yuto and Yuzu.

"It feels like forever since we've been to the Evermoore Hotel." Yuzu said in relief and happy.

"Why do you feel like that when we were here last year?" Yuya asked with a smile. "Your dad is the principal of our school after all."

"It feels like it has been longer and don't judge me!" Yuzu exclaimed and hit him slightly on the head with her paper fan.

"Be careful, Yuzu." Shun pointed out. "Remember that Yuya still hasn't recovered."

"Ah! Sorry about that." Yuzu apologized quickly. "I completely forgot."

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt as bad like before." Yuya replied with a smile which calmed his friend quickly.

"It's sad you won't be participating in many of the activities at all." Ruri pointed out a bit sad.

"Yeah, won't be the same without you." Yuzu agreed a little sad and Yuya smiled instead.

"I'll be fine and besides, we have a lot more people with us this year. I don't think someone is going to point out that I'm missing." Yuya said, only Yuto knew that he was a little sad that he couldn't have so much fun with his friends because of his wound.

"Come on, you guys!" A blue haired boy, known as Sora, exclaimed to his friends a few meters away. "Or else, the best rooms are going to be taken already!"

"Someone is in high spirits." Yuto pointed out amused.

"We're coming, we're coming." Yuya said and the group of teens started to follow the blue haired boy to the hotel.

All seemed normal until Yuya suddenly stopped in his tracks when the group were nearby the entrance. The crimson eyed boy was staring fearfully at the building which had gotten not only his friends' attention but also Yusho's as he was talking to Shuzo. The abnormal humans could sense something unpleasant and brought their attention as well to Yuya. In the vessel's eyes, he saw the mansion burning in flames and the courtyard was painted with blood on one place or another while shifting from reality to that vision.

'What's going on? What is this?!' Yuya exclaimed in his head terrified and didn't know that his inner voice could be heard by Yuto, who was starting to be really worried over what's going on. 'No. No! Stop it! This can't be real! I didn't do this!'

"Yuya, are you okay?" Ruri asked a bit scared and worried as their friends were having the same reaction while Yuya started to hug himself tightly, breathing heavily and looking down on the ground as if something was trying to come out of him.

'Get out. Get out of my head!!' Yuya continued to yell in his head which really made Yuto act.

"Yuya! What's going on?!" Yuto said extremely worried and placed a hand on Yuya's shoulder but some sort of electric energy hurt his hand that made him step away in pain.

The Secrecy eyes started to feel massive pain flow through his body and screamed in pain for a little while before he stopped, falling down on the ground. This made everyone except the ones that knew about Otherworld gasp horrified over what just happened, Shun was quick to get down on the ground to check on Yuya.

"Yuya! Can you hear me?!" Shun asked as he had said boy in his arms while shaking him to try snapping Yuya out of the state his was in. His eyes were opened but they seemed lifeless and in a trance. "Hey! Snap out of it!"

"What happened?" Shuzo asked as the principals arrived and Yusho got down to check on his son.

"We don't know. One second he was fine and then he just screamed in pain." Yuzu explained a bit scared.

"We need to get him inside quickly, I'll look into this when we get him a place to rest." Yusho said and Shun took Yuya in his arms.

The Secrecy eyes slowly closed his eyes as he was carried inside the hotel. Yuto followed them but held his injured hand which was red with a few marks on it, the pain had slowly disappeared but Yuto couldn't move it without feeling a lot of pain. The spirit was more worried over Yuya's sudden collapse and the desperate cries to make something stop in his head, he really wanted to know if his boyfriend was really okay and he could just get some bandages later when he knew that Yuya was alright.

Yusho borrowed some of the medical supplies to check on Yuya's condition when they got him into a room, the father didn't notice anything abnormal with his condition nor even his wound. Now, Yuto was alone with the unconscious Yuya in bed in a room for themselves. The young spirit was sitting next to his vessel while looking at his injured hand and trying to figure out the cause of what happened when Shun and Yuri came into the room.

"Looks like it was much worse than I thought." Yuri pointed out as the older boy closed the door and the vampire threw a roll of bandages at the spirit, who catched with his good hand.

"Thanks." Yuto said as he carefully took off his bracelet and started to wrap the bandage around his hand.

"What happened to your hand, Yuto?" Shun asked and Yuto looked up confused as he stopped wrapping his hand. "I can see you for now at least. Yuri let me borrow a charm that gives me the Sight for some time."

"That's the only one I'll give you. Making those things are terribly difficult." Yuri complained as he sat down by the the desk in the room.

"Need some help?" Shun asked his old friend.

"Yeah, thanks." Yuto replied and the hawk eyed teen started to help wrap Yuto's injured hand.

"How did this happen?" Yuri asked, looking at Yuya in bed.

"I don't know. Like everyone else, I knew that Yuya was feeling just fine." Yuto explained. "Sure, he was troubled since we met Milla's dad but he wasn't in pain or anything. However, when he was in that state, I could hear him saying to himself that something needs to 'get out' from him." Yuto then looked at his injured and tried to move his fingers but flinched as he still could feel a lot of pain in them when moving them. "I can't sense his pain at all either so whatever happened wasn't normal. He must have seen something that really terrified him in some level that he couldn't bear himself."

"All of this sound crazy." Shun pointed out as he tied the bandages together and then sat on the other empty bed.

"We'll have to assume that this hotel somehow triggered that vision of his to get in that state." Yuri guessed. "Do you know anything else about Yuya's bloodline?"

"All I know is that Yusho is a normal human while Yuya's mom came from the Secrecy eyes bloodline but was a magician since she didn't get the crimson eyes." Yuto explained to the two.

"That would explain most of what happened. You two don't know what magicians are like?" Yuri asked the two and the Chenskyra students looked at each other. "For magician children, their mana supply varies from person to person. When completely unused for some time or newly awakened, it take some strain to the body of the user if you don't have proper training. I think that he gained his mother's magical abilities together with the Secrecy eyes. His powers are merging together which may cause him to become like this."

"We've seen Yuya use his powers a bit but he doesn't know how to control it properly." Shun pointed out. "Or even use it."

Yuto didn't listen to his friend as he was mostly concerned for his true love because, through the desperate cries in his head Yuto could faintly hear Yuya calling for help which was the reason he acted the way he did. Yuto could feel something heavy in his chest and he didn't like it but the spirit had no idea if it was his or Yuya's, the only way to describe the feeling was unpleasant and dark.

After some time and Yuya's friends visited the room to check on Yuya, many were discussing what could have happened to him or thinking about what he's doing when they weren't around. Yuto told Yuri and Shun about everything that happened before coming to the hotel, letting Shun in on their alliance to find information on Serena's organization and since Serena doesn't know about Shun's involvement then he can go undetected.

When the night came, Yuto slept next to his vessel. Shun and Yusho managed to convince everyone that Yuya have to be alone in the room which made it possible to hide Yuto and the dragons as well keep suspition away from everyone else. This made it possible for Yuya and Yuto to have some privacy whenever they need it which was necessary for the two of them. However, while Yuto was in a deep sleep, Yuya was stirring in his unconscious state while hearing a male voice talk to him.

"Your reality has just been a way for you to escape the true you, locked up deep inside. There's a way for you to embrace it, accept what your body is resisting and you'll awaken your inner dragon. Am I right, Sakaki Yuya~?"

Yuya's eyes snapped opened but didn't show emotions, instead they were a glowing luminous red from the iris but they then slowly closed tired and Yuya leaned his head against Yuto's for comfort.

-

Yuto was putting on his things that he took off when he went to sleep to make himself comfortable but he left the bracelet on his left hand off since it still hurt. Yuto was fixing his tie when Yuya woke up, the crimson eyed boy could see clearly after a few seconds before he saw the spirit he loved.

"Yuto?" Yuya called out confused which got Yuto's attention and the spirit became relieved to see his vessel awake.

"I'm glad you're okay. You worried everyone back there." Yuto pointed out gratefully before Yuya noticed Yuto's injured hand and he instantly panicked.

"What happened to your hand?!" Yuya exclaimed as he jumped up into sitting position but regretted it when he felt pain from his wound and it wasn't just a little pain but a lot and some blood was showing from underneath the shirt.

"Let's worry about my hand after we've check on your wounds." Yuto explained and Yuya nodded while gritting in pain.

The Xyz duelist helped Yuya take off his t-shirt and belt as the two saw that blood was coming out from the wound in the middle. Yuto took out Yuya's bag to get the necessities to apply new bandages if this would happen while Yuya slowly took off the bandages as the spirit quickly put a compressor on the wound when it got exposed, showing the three big claw wounds from the left side and almost covered half his torso and back.

"I'll be okay now, Yuto." Yuya said as he breathed a little heavily and sweating because of the pain but smiling either way. "You're worrying too much."

"I'm worrying because of what is happening to you. I'm terrified of losing you just like back with the manticore." Yuto explained as he takes out medical supplies out from the bag and Yuya carefully got up to hug Yuto.

"I know. I'm worried about you too, you know." Yuya pointed out.

"Thanks, but..." Yuto glanced at his boyfriend, who tilted his head in question. "...shouldn't you sit down with your injuries bleeding?" Yuya chuckled sheepilish at the statement.

"Sorry about that."

"Just... be honest with me next time you're troubled like that, talk about it, okay?" Yuya's eyes narrowed and nodded in agreement, he takes off the compressor to see the bleeding had stopped. "Now, let's cover it up before we meet up with everyone else."

"Sure."

They didn't get far before Yuzu, Gongenzaka and Sora came in with Kaito and Shun coming into the room right behind them. As their friends noticed Yuya standing there and Gongenzaka hugged the crimson eyed boy in relief since their worries were slowly disappearing.

"We got worried when you wouldn't wake up yesterday." Sora pointed out as the muscular boy let go. "You were out an entire day after what happened."

"To be fair, Sora. I don't remember much myself." Yuya explained to his friends to not get them worried. "I slightly panicked when I woke up so I managed to open my wound a bit but the bleeding have stopped now."

"You don't remember?" Kaito asked confused and Yuya shaked his head.

"He's Tenjo Kaito from our school." Shun introduced his friend. "I have to say he's the best duelist in our school."

"He ain't kidding either. Kaito beats everyone at school, me and Shun are still trying to beat him." Yuto pointed out with grin and Shun rolled his eyes as he slightly showed the charm in his pocket for Yuya to understand that Shun have temporary Sight.

"I'm still sorry about how Yuto acted when we first met." Kaito apologized, confusing almost everyone in the room. "He's hard headed but means well."

'You have no idea how much he has changed.' Yuya and Shun thought at the same time with Yuto sweatdropping at the memory. Yuzu's sight then shifted to the wounds on her childhood friend's body and became really worried as this was the first time they've actually seen how hurt Yuya really was.

"Yuya, what exactly happened to you?" Yuzu asked as she walked over to him and was about to touch Yuya's wound before the crimson eyed duelist grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Yuzu, please. I don't wanna talk about it." Yuya replied, shadowing his eyes.

"But a wound that size isn't normal!" Yuzu argued, knowing far too much about him than what others realize. "What type of creature can make that type of wound?!" Yuzu started to tear up, showing everyone that she had kept her worries for Yuya inside. "Ever since when your eye bleed back at school a few months ago, a lot more things happened to you and the next we see you like this. What is it that you're hiding from us?!" All of the humans waited for the answer but Yuto and Shun knew the truth behind everything and knew Yuya couldn't tell them.

"I want to tell you but I can't." Yuya replied, clenching his fists. "Even if I could, you wouldn't believe a thing I say. The thing that's hidden right in front of your eyes." Yuzu caught a glimpse of Yuya's eyes and saw a flame burning in them but also fear. "I don't want you to get involved."

"Come on, you guys. Let's leave him alone for a bit so he can fix himself up." Shun said as he brings all of them outside the room and into the hallway.

"Why did make us come out here all of sudden?" Gongenzaka asked confused.

"You noticed it too?" Kaito asked Shun, who nodded.

"The three of you have known Yuya far longer than I have and you don't recognize his expression..." Shun started to explain to the group.

Meanwhile inside the room, Yuya gasped for air in panic and Yuto quickly but carefully forced him sit down in the desk chair. Yuto knew what happened, the boy was getting flashbacks from his fear of the dark when he told them about it and couldn't be helped since that fear existed his whole life. And only Yuto and Shun knew of this fear completely together with Milla and Jude. The spirit hugged Yuya as he clenched tightly into Yuto's clothes while trying to breathe.

"Yuya. Just take slow deep breaths and everything will be okay." Yuto said caring to keep Yuya calm. "I'm here."

-

"Yuya was panicking inside when you started to question him." Shun explained to the Enright students. "If you really knew him then you would notice that you drove him over the edge when questioning him this way."

"What do you know that we don't?!" Yuzu yelled angry at the older boy but Gongenzaka put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yuzu, let him finish." The abnormal muscular boy said and Yuzu stepped back.

"What Shun is trying to say is that we've seen Yuya in that state before, back at Chenskyra." Kaito continued, shocking the three.

"What happened?" Sora asked as the two looked at each other before turning to them again.

"You know that Yuya is well known around our school. Well, one time, our school got a blackout when it was raining storm outside and some of us took the chance to train dueling for a little while." Shun told them. "When me and Kaito were going to go home, we heard a terrified scream when the blackout happened. We got to the entrance and saw Yuya on the ground, hyperventilating while holding his head. I managed to to calm him down but somehow it got all around the school when there were very few in the school building to even bother."

"We realized that later when Yuya came to thank Shun, Yuya was terrified of something that comes when darkness comes." Kaito finished, Yuzu looking up in realization of what they are saying. "We don't know what but whatever it is, it is certainly not something that he would explain anytime soon."

"I might know what it is." Yuzu said sadly. "We got lost in the woods at night once when we were kids and under that, we suddenly got attacked by something and I was knocked unconscious but I can remember Yuya scream in the background. I was later told that Milla came to save us that night and Yuya was really scared."

"Let's wait until Yuya's ready to tell us." Gongenzaka pointed out to his friends. "Whatever this is, nothing good will come to it if we start questioning him like this."

"Yeah, I know but I don't know what Yuzu is going to do." Sora replied with a lollipop in his mouth, looking at the pink haired girl with them.

"I'll wait for him, meet you in the dining room." Yuzu said and the boys accepted it, walking away to join their friends and classmates in the dining hall.

Yuzu was so confused over the reaction Yuya had when she started to question him as the person she was. She knew that Yuya had secrets to himself and the same goes for Milla when it came to it, Yuzu just wanted what was best for Yuya since there wasn't many people that he could trust as much as people would like to. After a while, Yuya came out with Yuto behind him and noticed the pink haired girl waiting for them outside. The two friends made eye contact before Yuya looked down on the floor, refusing to show her his weakness.

The two walked into the direction of the dining room in silence. Both Yuya and Yuzu had grown up together but what happened in Yuya's room was their first real fight in a while and it was clear that Yuya avoided eye contact, the pink haired girl didn't know what to do in this sort of situation. Yuto wanted to talk with her about why Yuya was acting this way but he knew that some secrets doesn't need to be revealed, Yuya stopped in the hallway.

"Yuzu, you can go ahead." The Secrecy eyes said which caused his friend to be confused.

"But you haven't eaten since yesterday." Yuzu pointed out unsure.

"I'm not hungry, the pain took my appetite away." Yuya explained as he gently placed his hand on the place where his wounds were. "I'll be around the hotel's older parts if you need me." The Secrecy eyes walked into another hallway with Yuto in toe.

"Are you really sure about this?" Yuto asked. "She's one of your best friends."

"I just..." Yuya sighed. "...want to get away from her a bit. Yuzu is after all the reason I'm still here, alive."

"Yeah, I get it. But she's only worried about you with the fact that every time you see each other, you are mostly injured in a way. Still, you shouldn't push her away like that."

"Yuzu doesn't even know that dad abused me!" Yuya placed his goggles over his eyes while leaning against a nearby wall. "She was close once but Yuzu doesn't notice anything about my life outside school. No one did until you got involved in my life. I didn't want anyone to get involved in all of this!" Yuya held his head as if he was going to have another panic attack. "I don't think I should have been born because everyone just gets into danger because of me."

"Yuya. We all decided to be with you despite what comes in the future." Yuto comforted and slowly hugged his boyfriend. "Please, stop thinking about you being a burden because there are things that are after you. Didn't Milla say she was going to help you get stronger?"

"She did..."

"Then, keep yourself from thinking about that the world would be better without you because it isn't." The two stayed like that for some time before Yuto broke away and Yuya took up his goggles back on his head but his eyes still showed that he was scared.

"There's a place I want to show you."

Yuya got up and the two held hands as they continued down the hallway without noticing that someone was following them, a sly person to be specific.

-

In the dining hall, everyone was having a good time as they ate breakfast. Yuzu was sitting with her friends while down from what happened the morning with Yuya and the group notices it.

"Yuzu, stop worrying." Gongenzaka says after a while. "Yuya just need some time by himself."

"Gongenzaka is right." Shun agreed and Sora nodded in agreement as well. "Just give him some space." Just then, Sawatari and Serena came to their table.

"What happened?" Sawatari asked the group as they sat down with their trays.

"We checked on Yuya earlier." Sora told them. "Good news is he's awake. Bad news is that Yuya and Yuzu had a fight."

"A fight about what?" Serena asked curious and Shun quickly glanced at her.

"About what Yuya is keeping from us." Gongenzaka answered. "It is pretty personal since me and Yuzu have known him since we were little."

"I just want him to know he could trust me with his secret. I've always known that something was different with Yuya whenever he was around." Yuzu said suddenly, surprising everyone by the answer as she looked at the bracelet on her wrist. "I start to wonder if I really knew him as well as I thought I did."

Shun looked at her sadly, it was stressing him that he knew of Yuya's secret but he couldn't tell them and now that he knew Serena was with them and was from the enemy side, they've just gave her some important information about the Secrecy eyes. He had to keep an eye for her until Yuya and Yuto came back but somehow, he felt really tired right now.

Everyone was so occupied inside that they didn't notice that someone just appeared on the courtyard in front of the hotell. Wearing a heavy cloak, the person liked their mouth which showed their abnormal canines.

-

The couple was still walking through the hallways together until Yuya opened one of the big doors which led to a library and study that looked pretty old by the way the furniture looked like as well the bland colors in the wallpaper, which was probably caused by old age. Yuto was slightly confused why his vessel brought him to this place.

"This doesn't look that special to me, really." Yuto pointed out plainly.

"I know but it's the way I found this place." Yuya replied, rubbing his arm a bit. Possibly still a bit down from the looks of it. "My pendant brought me here."

"Wait, wait, wait. What?" Yuto asked in confusion. "Your necklace brought you to this room?" Yuya took the pendant into his hand to look at it.

"Yeah, it started to glow one night and it got stronger the closer I got to this room." The crimson eyed boy started to explain, "But I don't know why it did, I've looked around this room a lot but nothing."

"Maybe it is because an old vampire seeked shelter in this old mansion." The voice of Yuri suggested as he came into the room.

"You followed us?" Yuto asked, crossing his arms.

"It isn't hard to find this place, since there's my family's seal is on many ornaments in this building." Yuri said as he walked over to a wall where two lamps was which caught the two's attention and followed him. "There's always a bat with a small gem on them and these have them as well. Supernaturals always leave something after them."

The lamp acted like a lever when Yuri dragged it down and a mechanism was heard inside the wall, a part of the wall moved up inside and revealed a stone monument strange writing on it. All three of them were curious over why a vampire wanted to hide this monument from praying eyes.

"What is this?" Yuto asked confused as he couldn't even tell if those were words or symbols. "That looks like gibberish to me."

"Don't ask me, it isn't like I can read this." Yuri replied and Yuya slowly traced the writing with his fingers.

"This is the ancient language." Yuya answered.

"You can read it, Yuya?" His boyfriend asked and the crimson eyed boy nodded.

"I've always been able to." Yuya told the two. "Rundaanjaru Romu Mayan..." Suddenly, Yuya's pendant started to glow and blasted them away from each other and they painfully got up from the wooden floor.

"Okay... Let's not say that sentence unless we are prepared." Yuto groaned. "Who agrees with me?" Both supernaturals raised their hands as an answer before Yuri jumped up quickly on his feet in absolute panic.

"Yuri, you okay?" Yuya asked as Yuto helped him on his feet.

"Something isn't right." Yuri said hushed.

This alerted Yuya and Yuto, this meant something had come to the mansion hotel. The trio quickly got back to the dining hall while getting Yuya's sword for just in case. But what they saw was more than worrying, everyone had fallen asleep or collapsed. Not only that, all three of them sensed a domain which meant that something from Otherworld had caused this.

"I see you managed to come just in time." Serena said a little irritated and Yuri quickly took her by her jacket, smashing her into the wall.

"What did you do, traitor?!" Yuri demanded.

"Why do you think I did this?" Serena asked calmly while the couple tried to wake up their friends. "Only one skilled in sleep spells or potions can do this in a large scale."

"Shun. Shun!" Yuto yelled while Yuya did the same to his friends but it was to no avail.

"It's no use." Yuya concluded, giving up on trying to wake up his friends. "They're in a deep sleep. Either someone put something in the food, which can't be right since Serena is still awake. Or someone must have put up a domain that puts only humans asleep."

"A stray vampire." Yuri answered and lets go of Serena. "That's the only explanation to this. A vampire that's been banished from Otherworld by the royal family, they take their sun protection amulets from them and make them wander in the Human Realm."

"That's not the greatest way to punish someone, especially when there are humans involved in everything." Yuto said seriously, knowing that it only caused more problem for Humans and overall Otherworld for sending them there. "If it really is a stray vampire then what is it doing this to them?"

"To make its prey more easier to catch." Yuya answered. "It could be that it's looking for me." Yuto walked over to his vessel and placed a hand on his cheek which in turn cheered Yuya up a bit. They decided to check outside but Yuri summoned his weapon to stop Serena.

"Don't even think about doing something to these people or Yuya. Understand!" Yuri ordered before unsummoning it before quickly following the two.

As they arrived, an army of rogue vampires started to swarm the courtyard. All three of the supernaturals took out their weapons to fight the army, Yuri having a scythe in his hands which he spins and swings at an horde of the vampires out for revenge against the prince. Yuto was having Yuya's back as he fires both his guns from every direction to take out as many as possible to make it easier for Yuya since he was starting to get some pain from his wound from moving too much and quickly as they all turned to dust. Yuto was jumping and shooting a lot but somehow the rogue vampires managed to separate the two under the fight. Yuri was doing his best by himself but quickly raised his scythe at the cloaked man that was about to jump onto him.

"I could sense your presence wherever I go. Vladimir!" Yuri growled as the man just chuckled like a mad man as he jumped off.

"Looks like I pissed off your majesty, you really love living with humans now that you won't go back and accept your way of living." Vladimir joked which made Yuri even more pissed off.

"I suggest that you leave immediately before you are turned to dust!" Yuri yelled as they engaged into a fight.

Yuto and Yuya were separated while the latter was getting more and more incapable to continue fighting as the pain was spreading like fire. The spirit, however, was being overpowered by the enemies and soon was caught in their grasp.

"Yuya!" Yuto yelled as the vampires pushed him to the ground and his guns disappeared.

"Yuto!" Yuya exclaimed as he tried to run to help him but some sort of pulse of power which made his head hurt and got down on his knees. "Not again-!"

"Yuya..." Yuto groaned as he sensed everything before a vampire put a foot onto his injured hand and screamed in pain, Yuya became really angry all of a sudden because not only that they were trying get to his friends but torturing Yuto was a mistake.

"Don't you..." The crimson eyed boy growled in anger as his hair started to defy gravity as the vampires came closer to him. "Don't you dare hurt Yuto!"

Just then a burst of wind and electricity surrounded Yuya, the vampires around him were blown away from him and Yuto. Yuri and Vladimir stopped their fight to look at what's happening to their allies. Serena was on the roof so she could watch the battle and was in absolute fear over the mass of power. Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion appeared to protect their master and roared in conformation as Yuya rose to his feet, his eyes were shadowed by his bangs.

"Gate Access..." Yuya mumbled and a circle shaped portal appeared in the sky with a galaxy like swirl inside it, both dragons turned into dark purple lights before floating into the portal. "Dragon of dual colored eyes. Unleash that black scale of wrath, eradicate all opposing enemies! Come forth, Dragon with eyes of rage! Supreme King Black Dragon, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!"

A big black dragon appeared and roared loudly as it came into existence. The vampires and Serena were terrified of the summoning as it started to attack everyone except Yuri and Yuto while protecting its master, who was running forwards Vladimir while slashing through the other vampires in immense strength and speed like he wasn't even trying. Yuto could just watch in shock over what happened to his vessel while Yuri was in shock as well.

'This is almost like...' Yuto thought as the memory of Yuya protecting him at Hychinder flashed in his mind. '...that time! That time back at Hychinder!'

"N-no, h-he said that he wouldn't awaken this soon!" Vladimir exclaimed completely terrified as he slowly backed away while Yuri was frozen in place because of the burst of power.

"Why can't I move?!" Yuri groaned. The rogue vampires tried to protect their master but to no use as Yuya easily broke through them and Vladimir was even more terrified.

"N-No, I-I don't wanna die!" Vladimir whimpered before he saw the blade of Yuya's sword in his chest.

"You've already marked your death when you hurt my friends." Yuya said to him before slashing upward, cutting him in half before he turned to dust and the Secrecy eyes sheathed his sword. Yuto forced himself up and slowly walked over to the two as the dragon Yuya summoned disappeared and turned into the familiar form of the two dragons made to summon it.

"Y-Yuya." Yuto called out. Said person slowly turned around, showing the two his glowing red eyes that left a trail as he looked at the two in front of him.

"Yu... to..." Yuya breathed out as he started to fall forward and the spirit quickly caught him with his lightning speed as the two got on the ground.

"That power...!" Serena said to herself as she watched the scene. "Master never told me he was this strong!" The blue haired girl quickly got inside as the others started to wake up.

"Is he okay?" Yuri asked worried as he took away his weapon.

"I'm not sure." Yuto replied, not keeping his eyes off Yuya. "Whatever happened, he created a new dragon out of two existing ones. He used a type of Xyz summoning back there." Yuya groaned as he gained consciousness and his eyes no longer had a glow and his hair was returned to normal.

"What happened?" Yuya asked exhausted and tired. "Why am I so exhausted?"

"Wait, you don't remember summoning a giant dragon out of nowhere?" Yuri asked confused. "Killing every stray vampire attacking us?"

"What are you talking about?" Yuya questioned really confused.

"Let's just get you inside, we'll tell you what happened." Yuto answered as he started carrying Yuya inside, ignoring the pain in his hand.

"Yuto, you don't have to carry me when your hand is injured." Yuya said tired and Yuto smiled.

"I don't care unless you are okay." Yuto replied and the vessel smiled at the comment.

"I'll check on the others, see you in the all room for the performance." Yuri said before walking away from the two.

Yuto told Yuya everything that happened in the fight inside their room but he left the detail that Yuya's eyes glowed under that time as well his boost of strength, it felt like he should since he has yet to find out what happened back there. Yuya held his head tired as Yuto ended and looked at the new card he gained after the fight.

"So this dragon was created when I summoned it out there?" Yuya asked still a bit confused over what happened.

"You used an Xyz summon out there too." Yuto replied. "What's weird is that you don't remember anything that happened before and after you summoned it."

"All I can remember was you getting hurt then all of sudden, I'm in your arms on the ground totally exhausted." Yuya told him. "Let's go to the others, they're probably waiting for us."

"Yeah, a lot has happened today and we deserve some fun." Yuto pointed out and Yuya smiled at it.

Yuya and Yuto walked to the all room to see the celebration performance together with everyone else as it was quite exciting. Somehow, the one that was suppose to perform became sick right before the deadline, that was what they heard from a few that walked by them. When the two arrived, they saw everyone of their comrades sitting on the floor, the couches or by the tables to watch.

"Yuya, I saved you a spot!" Yuzu called out from one of the couches and Yuya sat next to her as she had gotten a good spot in front of the tv.

"Has they told of who is going to perform in their stead?" Yuya asked and Yuzu shook her head.

"It's still a surprise for the audience." The pink haired girl explained. "They said that they don't even know themselves so it's a secret for everyone."

"Oh, this is going to be interesting." Yuto said impressed by the announcement.

In the performance building, Milla and Velvet was standing in a room with two doors in front of them. Both of their hair styles were changed into ponytails while Milla's was wide thanks to her curls, Velvet's was tied at the tips. They turned to look at each other smiling.

"To think we would stand here again after three years of rising in top in secret." Milla pointed out.

"But this time we'll both perform in the highest rarity of clothing in Aikatsu." Velvet continued, holding up a small stack of cards.

Flashback

The two female leaders was in the changing room as Milla was fixing Velvet's hair up before there was someone knocking on the door. In came a woman in a suit with a small tray in her hands as the Lords stood up.

"What do you want?" Velvet asked confused. "We're supposed to be on stage soon."

"There's something that the designers of your brands wanted to give you two." The woman explained and presented the cards on the tray which the two took.

The cards had clothing in four different cards. Top, bottom, shoes and accessory.

In Velvet's hands was a black and red blouse with gold detail and alternating patterns of white or gold on the black, and silver and gold on the red.

"These are Premium Rare coords. They even have wings with the accessory." Milla pointed out while looking at her cards.

"The wings represent popular idols full potential, those who wear the accessory can shine even brighter." The woman explained with a smile. "You girls deserve them. Now illuminate on stage, Arabian Sky!"

Flashback ends

"Perfect Queen's Blooming Queen coord." Velvet said as she looked at her cards. "Blooming with magnificent flowers, it is a Premium Rare Dress fit for a queen."

"Romance Kiss's Premium Rare Dress, The Daylight Festival coord." Milla said as she admired her own cards. "Fit for a giant festival, making you glitter like the many sparkles of the water's surface under dawn."

"Let's make this performance the best everyone had." Velvet said and the ruby eyed girl nodded. The girls held their hands together and closed their eyes as a prayer.

"Sharing our breathing, sharing our rhythm." The two said in sync. "May our songs guide the next generation. The curtain of flowers to the future opened by us maidens!"

"Fly high, Velvet!" Milla said while opening her eyes.

"Shine bright, Milla!" Velvet exclaimed doing the same.

The girls ran into the rooms and enters a large hall of red, white and gold, running along the floor carpet to where a golden pedestal is. The pedestal with ornamental elements has a diamond-shaped platform at the top to place the cards, along with a large golden ring placed behind the diamond.

Milla and Velvet grabbed a hold of their Aikatsu! Passes and placed them onto the diamond, activating a snowflake crystal pattern.

Upon placing the Aikatsu! Pass, the hall's virtual space begins to activate, beginning by creating an ivory pentagonal platform and walkway beneath the two, held up by a spire standing at the center of the base of a dome with damaged structure, filled with water right up to the platform.

The virtual space continues to expand as the rest begins to form as well: an ivory dome with damaged structure that allows a view to the infinite sky beyond, filled with clouds and floating islands, as well as allowing streams of water to flow down from the cracks in the roof. A large crystal point floats in the center of the dome, with four smaller crystal points floating around it.

An array of cards glow in purple and red proceed to surround the two as they take out their chosen coords. They then proceeds to place their cards onto the diamond platform.

The surrounding crystal points change colors to represent the four cards or idol types: cute, cool, sexy and pop, joins into the center crystal to create a rainbow crystal. The rainbow crystal then disappears to reappear as a structure behind the pedestal. Three crystal points that has long shards of blue and pink crystal in front of it stand behind the entrance to the runway, a doorway with a golden rim and a diamond at its top, the scallop fans of pink and yellow opened for the two when time to enter the runway.

Milla and Velvet runs along a blue runway bordered with gold all the way to the sphere-cut diamond at the end as their bodies are covered in purple and red. The runway is within a blue crystal virtual space, ornaments of the cute, cool, sexy and pop symbols floating around the room, along with two streams of waterfalls flowing down from the sky.

They jump on the diamond as it bounces the two towards the ceiling to where the cards are placed. The outfits appears on them as they passes through each card head-first.

After they're done, they land on a blue crystal platform with a crystal design of the four idol or card types in the center. Behind the platform is a golden chandelier ornament, with two ornaments with shell openings that is the start of the waterfall on the sides of a chandelier, held up by an arching ornament above all three ornaments. They pose side by side as many different flowers exploded behind them.

In the performance hall, a wave of glitter and light changed the stage. Now it was A large three-story ballroom with mauve textured carpet. Leading the stage is an alternate carpet with a band of violet and gold over it, decorated by a line of gold idol type symbols. Leading to this is a decorative fence-like structure with gold bars on top of it, matching those circling the performance area. Also surrounding it are potted plants and small tables with red clothes over them. The walls are blue themed with designs separating each column, along with stained glass windows at each corner, themed after the Idol types and decorated by a gold and mauve structure, and a gem design above it. The ceiling has purple, blue, and white heart stained glass symbols covering it, and hanging from the center is a chandelier and large wind chimes. The performance takes place on a large red and gold gem-like structure.

Up from a circle of light came Milla and Velvet still in their poses as the audience started to cheer in excitement.

"This is unbelievable! It's the top raising duet unit, Arabian Sky, folks!" The announcer said which surprised everyone in the room at the hotel as they recognized the blond woman on the screen. "The famous duo that spark their popularity to the roof in just one performance!"

"That's Yuya's sister!" Almost everyone in the room exclaimed in shock except Yuya and Yuto as they were just standing in surprise.

"When did they start with performing as a unit?" Yuto asked extremely surprised until he saw Yuya's smile. "You knew about this." Yuya nodded slightly as he watched his sister preparing to sing and dance as they see that the point meter goes up to the roof.

"I saw their first performance with my own eyes, the time they created the idol unit, Arabian Sky." Yuya said happy as he remembered when he was a kid and watch the two perform the first time.

(Together) The crescent moon so high in this dark lonely sky,

An ocean of obsidian, tangled in the light

So make a wish now upon a shooting star

And watch it fly across the night, into the beyond

As the music played, an aura appeared around the two consisting of jewels of moons and suns in a intricate chandelier circle as four yellow/red colored lights circle around them. The flowers were fire colored roses and pink princessias on Velvet's side and purple and pink morning glories and lilies by Milla. Milla was covered in magenta glow while Velvet was covered with red glow and gold glitter is surrounding them.

(Milla)If this unwritten tale, without a single word,

Could somehow own the night, the moon, only a blur

(Velvet) The hidden masterpiece you hide where none can see

Would take to the sky like a bird set free

(Together) Tomorrow, we'll spread our wings and find where we belong

You dream to see the world one day – Would you mind if I tag along?

(Milla) Listen close, and you can hear, (Velvet) as it's suddenly drawing near:

(Together) Your wish is coming true

The crescent moon, so high in this dark lonely sky,

An ocean of obsidian, tangled in the light

So make a wish now upon a shooting star

And watch it fly across the night

Ah, until this whole dream has come to an end –!

(Velvet) So if we lose our way because the map we drew

Is quickly blown away, lost to the desert wind

(Milla) I pray a light appears to guide our drifting souls

Into an age to last a thousand years

(Together) You've fallen prey to desolation time and time again

But I only remember how carefree you were back then

(Velvet) All the things we long to hold, (Milla) as our cards begin to fold,

(Together) Appear within our reach

Let's break away the veil of this dark and endless night

Your tears will fade into days that still lie ahead

If you could take what's reflected in your heart,

Beyond the dawn you'd set your sight

Ah, this swift gale of wind will carry us there

The music played as the duo would fly up and circle each other before intersecting one another and causing a pink rose with golden leaves and intricate designs on each to form between them. Milla and Velvet pose on either sides of the rose with roses of their color crystallized in their hands.

(Together) My relentless b-eating heart burns on inside my chest

And I feel the flames growing wild

(Milla) I only wish I could see – Take a glimpse into your dreams

(Together) Those clear blue eyes, like cloudless skies, gaze at a new world

The crescent moon, so high in this dark lonely sky,

An ocean of obsidian, tangled in the light

So make a wish now upon a shooting star

And watch it fly across the night

Ah, until this whole dream has come to an end

We'll break from this dark and endless night

Your tears will fade into days that still lie ahead

If you could take what's reflected in your heart,

Beyond the dawn you'd set your sight

Ah, this swift gale of wind will carry us there

They pose as the music stopped as everyone watching cheered and screamed high in happiness over the magnificent performance of Arabian Sky as the aura was still present and somehow floated through the tv to the class in the all room, who were smiling at the many flowers and jewels.

"This is so pretty!" Sora exclaimed as he tried to grab one of the flowers.

"Not only that but their outfits and specially their wings!" Yuzu exclaimed as she looked at Milla and Velvet waving to everyone and Milla somehow knew that Yuya, Yuto and Yusho was watching and placed a finger over her mouth to be quiet.

"It isn't just their outfits, it's everything about them." Sawatari said in love which made everyone laugh at his crushes before the boy got hit on the head by Serena.

"Stop that creepy fantasy of yours, it's just creepy." Serena said and everyone laughed at the act.

Even though a lot happened to the ground, everything was forgotten the rest of the weekend except the fact of the mention of Yuya's awakening. What's going to happen later in the future.
