# Lunch Hall
"Well nothing special happened. We were just arguing that I won and he said it was just luck."
Yugo said, his one hand on the shoulder of future duelist.
"Yeah." Future duelist said same.
"Huh?"
That one boy confused.
"Well it's obvious we weren't serious and just having natural conversation but in the crowd and that much noise we might had looked like we were fighting."
Yugo said looking at those three.
"Sorry. I just felt I should help if I can."
That boy's eyes was down and expression looking sad.
"Don't wuther! We may looked like we were arguing but you just wanted to help. Isn't that is great! Actually I am happy you wanted to help."
Ryo : "Is that the reason why Reiji and others didn't told me because it wasn't fighting . Ir maybe really because of crowd and noise?"
"Well that aside," Ryo said "how are your duel is going, I mean when is it."
"It is at third last."
First one said.
"Then," Yugo said "our duel have to wait until final."
"Yeah."
The other two also said
Ryo thought, for some reason, those two behind the one are nervous or on guard for some reason.
"There are total of 16 team, so there will be 8 battles."
Future said while eating spaghetti with fork.
"Yeah." Ryo started doing same. "And our battle means, first have ended there are 7 more."
"YEAH!" The biggest brother said "It was amazing! I can't believe you defeated those two with just one duel. Everyone was thinking that God's Valley will win this tournament."
Future duelist : "Makes sense if you have such cheat synchro monsters."
"Well, all the best for your match." Yugo said. Sandwich in both of his hands.
"When did you take those? Did that thing not have rubbed on me." Future duelist said cleaning his shoulder with hand.
"Don't worry I eat with care." Yugo protests.
"Doesn't look that way to me. Haha" the boy and those two behind him started to laugh.
Ryo : "Guess it was good to have chat with other than your people. And taking information."
Ryo thought just giving this conversation a meaning but he was also smiling.
# At Evening
"Snacks were great with coffe."
"Guess all adults drink coffe. Or when they become adults." Future duelist said to Yugo.
"Me too." Ryo said "I also drink, when I feel it."
"It's about feeling?"
"More like when you feel for current on brain. When you drink coffee current goes to your brain and wakes it up and gives energy." Ryo said
"Really? Sounds amazing." Future said, his eyes still same not giving expression neither eyes or face. Same as Ryoho
"You don't drink coffee?" Ryo was kinda taken aback.
"I don't really need to wake long or need energy, so I just tried it once mom had made but it was kinda sour or something... I don't remember but I thought I will never drink it again."
"When you have coffee for first time it feels that way." Yugo said "But later you get used to it. And sounds like your she had made black coffee with no sugar."
"Yeah. But then I never tried it again."
All three were invited for a certain place.
"Mom huh." Ryo muttered like a murmur. It didn't go to their or micro eye but it remained in Ryo's head.
Ryo : "I am starting to wonder who you mom is, that makes her my future wife after all. Knowing in advance may change future and yet I want to know."
With this thought in Ryo's mind for long ago had spawned. But he didn't say and was restrained from his mind.
"Well that's just makes us more mysterious, close yet stranger like."
"Here!"
That biggest brother said. Looking at a mid size house.
"Sorry we don't have much but please feel comfortable."
He said smiling as he opened the door.
"Thanks for having us."
We three said. And entered the room.
"It's a big help for letting us live here. We didn't had a place to live." Yugo said looking at the three.
"No you are very nice to us and helped us. So it's our time."
Biggest brother said but the other two still had that on guard expression.
"We planed to participate so we came here. We planed to take a room on rent or motel something but there weren't single place to."
"Yeah those places around this area are always full around this time. Since the tournament is held. Even if the heroes aren't taking part there is still excitement and people from different places come here to watch so it's natural they take those places." Finally one of the brother said broking that long silence.
"Makes sense." Ryo said as he was subconsciously looking around house.
"Well we don't have much to offer but we can give place to sleep and you also can rest here until the tournament hasn't end no sorry as long as you three are here."
"Thank you for your help but we don't plan to be burden for you three. We will go after the tournament ends."
"Sorry."
They must've wanted to say to "live long" but even so they know it is already hard for their current situation.
"It's okay, actually we feel already more than greatful to your help."
Maybe they had the question where we slept till now but didn't ask.
# Time Passes
"It is already night and the second battle is also ended."
"Yeah it went longer than expected but it was a edge to edge fight, in each turn I thought the oppoent will win."
"Kinda reverse predictions is you ask me."
"Haha yeah."
"Well this is already time to sleep didn't thought it will pass so fast."
"I feel you."
"Sorry we don't have bed."
One apologies with sad expression.
"Seriously this much is already a big help." Yugo said.
Yugo must be thinking they feel too indebted.
"Well good night."
"Yeah."
It was living room with a little TV and just a sofa.
And we made rock paper scissors. Who will sleep on the sofa and the other two will on carpet.
"Guess it's me." Future said.
"Great luck huh."
"Guess so."
"..."
Ryo was having conflict inside him.
Ryo : "Tonight I feel some kind of unease, like my soul is expecting something."
"Well then goodnight."
The brothers said and turned the lights off.
"""Yeah."""
And the light was turned off suddenly dark.
But our eyes adjusted into darkness and we were able to see somehow.
And having to do nothing we just go to sleep.
And with two blankets veiled on carpet we wento to sleep.
# At morning
"What happened Ryo?" Yugo asked
Future duelist was starting at Ryo. As he was wavering while walking.
"Nothing." Ryo said rubbing his eyes "I just had bad... actually I didn't had much sleep."
"Well... but we should be greatful for them they even asked us for breakfast. And last night they even gave us dinner."
Yugo said looking somewhat serious.
"And not to mention their situation. They have lot of problems yet they helped us. And probably at past those mosquitos had their own party of our blood."
At last sentence he made little joke but he was serious.
"I know. But I can't control it. if I don't have good sleep."
"That I understand... But still..." Yugo said
"I know you feel bad enough for them." Ryo said while looking at sky "but we can't just let everything happen by flow. We have to consider our own way of things."
"But you seem more than just lack of sleep. Did you had bad dream."
"..." Ryo didn't say anything. Thoughts of last night ran through his mind "kinda bad kinda good." He said in silent tone. Like to just tell not to dwell or ask him.
"If so. We don't have match so it won't affect us." Future duelist said
Future duelist : "I think you should take care of your sleep but you probably don't want to be asked more... did you had something other than bad dream?"
"We have time on time so we should look for new information or something. What do you two say?" Yugo said.
Probably trying to take conversation into serious way.
"Yeah." Both said
"Will you be okay dad?" Future duelist said
"Don't worry about me. It's not like I am out of strength."
Ryo said rubbing his eyes again. And there was bit of expression that showed he is getting annoyed.
"Then let's go."
At LDS building, monitoring room.
"Ryo isn't looking in good mood." Leo said
"Yeah I can feel too." Yusho said
"Me too." Reiji said.
"... bit that expression..." Leo looked at Ryo
"Is something wrong with Ryo?" Yusho asked
"Nothing but I feel I have seen Ryo with that expression not long ago but I can't remember."
"Well it's not like Ryo doesn't make expression but just rarely. And maybe you had a dream." Yusho said and Reiji agreed.
"Maybe but I doubt I remember it and all this is suddenly seems familiar to me."
"You mean all this war thing of multiple worlds and time." Reiji said still sitting on his president's seat.
"I can't recall or remember it." He take his hand on his mouth "but maybe this is just unease or my worrieness but this feeling is familiar and everything happening so far."
Both Reiji and Yusho looked at Leo for few seconds.
"Maybe we will find out soon."
"Yeah."
"That would be good."
Yuya was at show school and others at their own work. They can't be alway present.
# At Another Synchro world.
Ryo : "I still can't be sure was that a dream or just a hallucination or my past memory or just mixed with dream."
It was 9 : 41
And they were headed for their riders.
4 hour ago
"Aghh don't do it."
Ryo was murmuring in sleep.
"Ahhh"
And then he went silent for sudden.
"?"
Ryo had all blue sky while he was dreaming but now it was different.
"It is still blue but I feel something different."
Ryo starred at that different sky for seconds. But who knows how much time had passed in dream.
And then the ground he was standing started to shake.
"Ahhhh!"
He was falling and the more lower go got the faster he felt that land is approaching.
"I have to do something!"
A twisted hid head up and down, right and left. But he didn't even saw or get anything.
"!?"
Clouds started to show up making a beautiful scene. And Ryo got more tensed.
"Now how I will know when ground is gonna come!?"
And he fall into clouds, piercing them but they were just endless and he was now in the endless white mist, still falling to ground.
"Is this clouds not gonna end!?"
And then even with the sound of falling, he heard a sound like something is approaching him.
And that less than second just kept growing more strong.
And he heard a sharp but warm sound that relive him.
"Agh... huh?"
And then he was grabbed with a peck of a great giant creature.
"Great now I am gonna die by someone else's food."
With the sharp wind and gusts stoped going through his body he felt at least good enough to process his thoughts.
But even that wasn't long as within 1 minute, without knowing where he was he was on land, and not just a simple land it was a street of a city, normal but he felt familiar and safe.
"Now this place... is the world wants to TEST ME SOMEHOW!"
Itwould be first time for Ryo, who is always calm and rational thinker, is more than angry and lost all calm
"Seeing this! What a life!"
Streets were more than familiar, on roads were vehicles going were same, buildings were long, big and as he knew. And houses were same yet gace relive.
And he hear a voice.
"Ryo I am gonna go so you better come or be leave behind."
A voice with no resentment or bad intention but with caring emotion that cared and didn't look away.
And seeing, he felt he couldn't look elsewhere, but if did than that was a park where he played as child, trees that he climbed on, and ground that he ran on his childhood. And played with two other.
And he felt all those memories are flowing through his eyes at once but that figure yet didn't leave his vision.
And Ryo said with emotions flowing in him like dqm had broken water leaking, without knowing with his sudden blank expression.
"Nee-san (big sis)"

[A/N: I decided to make Declan "Reiji" as it was his original name in anime but Declan was in english, I was thinking since long that I should use original Reiji name like he is brother with Ryo so both start with "R" I was gonna do in start but I don't know why but I thought Declan sounds cool. But Reiji is gonna be permanent. And same for Yusyo with Yusho.
And I think I will use those Japanese verbs and titles to character representation like nee-san and nii-san. I was thinking long ago but I thought people will like with better explanation titles but now I will use those I think are better to use.
And this Dream world isn't gonna last long just two more chapter which is gonna come early tomorrow, I swear."]
