It was late in the morning, at best, it was 3 A.M. as the moon had sat in the sky leaving the stars to give their last few glimmers before it had sunk. The moonlight had given him that warm blue aura he had constantly had amongst it’s presence. It was enriching, and also peaceful. He had longed towards the night as he had emptily gazed towards the sky almost seeming like he was in despair towards the beautiful sight. He stood near the bridge underpass towards the Slifer Dorms, while of course being on the shore sands watching the Ocean waters sweep at the soles of his feet.
“I have a whirlwind of feelings inside…but, reality rejects them. I have never thought of my faith as a curse. I embraced it with all the admiration in the world…until now. He had started to look at the school as more of a place of friendly faces lately because of all his run-ins. He had such low self-esteem back then, that he would bet nothing would ever happen in his life that was great or least bit exciting. So far, he met an Obelisk Blue student that was kinder than he thought, and didn’t think of him as goofy, then there was Saga who had a connection to him in deeper ways than he could imagine, but finally, there was Aster Phoenix who had dueled him.
He wouldn’t think he’d be this fortunate. Life was good, but he could never live that life in the day time, and he wish he could grow older together with them, but yet, that was another curse of the Realm of Light. The slow aging of the youth process, It would keep him younger for a little while longer while everyone’s life passed by. He didn’t want to live on without these people and mysteriously stay young for a longer time. This gift that protected his life from sheer harm was now his curse. He wanted to curse his mother, but he couldn’t he was too kind and she was most kind for allowing him to be safe and healthy. A mother’s love shouldn’t be blamed.
“I wish…there was something I could do…” he thought as he broke the moon’s image from reflecting in his eyes. He was sad, miserable at best. He had no control of his life, nor to courage to tell anyone why their bonds could never be. He felt so cowardly to make excuses. “I-I…I can’t do anything…” he said helplessly.

Out of nowhere, a dice flew by and pegged Zen in his arm, and a shapely figure walked forward, arms behind her back.
"Good to see you again, Zen-kun," she said, smiling a trademark grin, royal-eyes glittering underneath the starlight. As it was a Sunday, the Osiris Red girl decided to shoot for casual wear today instead of the school-issued uniform. All she wore was a long-sleeved shirt with a box-cut, showing off a little of her tanned clevage, and a pair of shortshorts, wearing a pair of sneakers with it.
She smiled a soft smile, head tilted, her eyes showing a little concern at his expression on his face, but decided to push it aside, as it wasn't her place to ask questions of such private nature.
"What'cha up to?" she said, running her lithe hand through her sandy, light-blonde hair.

Xenneth's attention had set on the single dice that pegged him as he had looked towards it. He was a bit puzzled at first to see a random die fly from the blue and strike him, but as he heard a familiar voice, it was obvious all of the sudden as he put two and two together knowing it was the dice of the young gambler. She seemed different today, and he had to admit, it was in a lovely way because she made him give a light blush no matter what she wore.
"Umm...hello Saga-san..." he said a bit surprised seeing her up so late. "Umm...wh-what are you doing up at this hour? Shouldn't you be resting?" he asked since it was really early in the morning. He had concealed himself most of the night and came out all of the sudden at the last few hours to watch the stars as they started to disappear, and soon he was to disappear too. He didn't want Saga to be here to watch him, and then there was little time as if. He didn't panic, maybe she'd go to bed in her dorm after a while.

She gave a gallant shrug that meant everything, yet nothing at all "I woke up a little early, so I decided to take a shower and head to the ocean, but along the way I spotted you."
Saga gave a smile and tilted her head sweetly "I wanted to watch the sunrise, too.. haven't seen one in a long while. I normally watch sunsets."

Xenneth heart had sunk as he had heard her purpose for being up so early. It would be a pain now to try to bail on her while the sun was rising, and seeing that he did it before, it would probably hurt her feelings or make her angry at him. "Oh...that's great." he said as he had lowered his head with a smile looking towards the ocean waters as they had swept at the soles of his feet once more. He knew tonight was like a dilemma for him. All his focus was on keeping his secret just that.
"I've been thinking..." he had begun to say as his eyes had softened as he looked towards the sweeping waters once more. "I-I've been wondering...what do you think about me Saga-san? Am I...a burden to your feelings?" he had asked as his eyes shown great concern. "I know I don't open up to people and that makes them not trust me so easily, or they would be suspicious. Am I pushing you away Saga-san?" he asked curiously.

Saga's eyes clanced to him quickly, then away, watching the far off ocean waters and smiled slowly "Nah. You're not pushing me away. I gave you my lucky coin, right?" She smiled, looking at him with a sweet smile. Her lucky coin.. her first casino coin she ever gotten and she gave it to Zen because she trusted him to hold onto it until he no longer wanted it.
"Humm.. what do I think about you.." she asked herself, tapping her chin with her fingernail, pouting her lips cutely in thought.
"Well.. you're cute, you're quiet, you are mysterious.. you're a vampire.. annnd you're hair's cool," Saga said, throwing in the vampire part to see if he was paying attention to what she was saying, putting on her poker face, one of complete seriousness.

Xenneth had smiled thinking about that small coin he kept in his pocket. At the mention his right hand had slid over his pocket feeling the hard metal in it. He had smiled thinking about what it symbolized, and only went on to here her as he had smiled graciously while tossing his head lightly with a smile. "Thank you Saga-san...I feel mu-..." he paused as he had blinked realizing one of the descriptive traits.
"W-wait! Y-you think I'm a vampire?" he had asked as he had his mouth opened in awkward surprise at her guess. It was off, but still it did sound relative, and all silly since vampires weren't real. (hopefully) He had blinked looking towards her Poker face seeing that look. He simply drew back as he blinked in confusion now knowing how to respond since it was a bit intimidating.

Saga broke into a mischeivous grin and pointed "See? You almost fell for it."
She gave a little laugh and crossed her arms behind her back, standing triumphantly, head high up "And of course I don't~ Vampires don't exist.. I really don't like those stupid fictional stories, either. I think it's a load of hoo-ha."
Glancing to Zen, Saga grinned broadly and snickered at her joke she did, enjoying the look on his face.

Xenneth had rubbed the back of his neck after seeing he almost foolishly feel for Saga's little trick. There was no harm done. If anything, it was really funny to him. If he was a vampire, he'd of course be guilty or the worst ever seeing he ran off at the speed of light whenever the moon started to settle. He had smiled hearing her opinion and held his hand over his mouth attempting to covet his smile and grin as he had gave off a light laughter.
"Right!" he had said as he had looked towards her settling that awkward and funny look on his face and smiling blissfully. "It's because of you that I can always smile and laugh just like this Saga-san." he had said as he stared towards her, and then shut his eyes to try to not show that sparkle in his eye from taking that long good look at her. She was so cute.

Saga stretched and flopped down on the sandy shore, taking off her sneakers and stretching out her legs far enough to have the waves lap at her legs. She smiled at the feel of cool water lick at her smooth, dark skin.
"You've got a nice laugh.. you're nice and sweet.. you seem like the person who'd be a guardian angel.." she added on quietly, staring out at the water. Her two duel spirits flittered and sat upon her shoulders, even though they most likely couldn't be seen by Zen, unless he too had duel spirits.. Skull, the darker, demon-like of the two looked up and blew a quiet raspberry at Zen and Grace thumped Skull in the head, then the two shot off to bicker at one another, knowing full and well Saga doesn't like them pestering her.

Xenneth had smiled hearing her voice as he had leaned his head graciously after hearing those words. It was then decided as he had reached towards his arm. "Saga-san..." he had said with a smile. "...let's have a duel." he had said as he had turned towards her and then lifted his right hand as if he was making an offer knowing she's appeal to it. "If I lose...I promise...I won't hide anything from you." he had thought as he had tilted his head. "But if I win..." he couldn't think of anything in return, so he had simply lifted his arm.
"Well...it'll just be a small I.O.U." he had said as he declared his claims and glanced towards her. "Shall we put up our stakes?" he had said knowing she'd like the sound of it.

Her lips slowly curled into a mischeivious smile, her eyes glittering at the sound of a bet.
She stood, reaching into the messenger bag she had brought along with her and pulled out a duel disc, shuffling and sliding her deck into it.
"Alright.. Deal.." she slid the duel disc on her arm and held it out as it activated, the rim colored in red for her rank, her face totally serious now, a hardcore poker face, one completely without emotion so as to not fail at a bluff or give away her actions.
"Places your bets, ladies and gentlemen..! Ante up!" she said, her version of saying 'let's duel'.

Xenneth had switched his card deck as he had smiled and nodded. "This'll only be for a little while girls. I just want to play against Saga-san." he had said as he slipped his duel disk on his arm and smiled brightly. "Let's duel!" he had said as he drew five cards and then pointed to Saga.
"You can start off Saga-san!" he had announced with a smile.

She drew her card and placed it in her hand, glancing through it slowly "Alright, you two.. let's work some luck today.."
Grasping lightly four cards and slipped them into her magic/trap slots on her disc "I'll set four magic/traps.. and play Swords of Revealing Light! For the next three turns.."
As she spoke, swords fell from the sky and landed all around Xenneth, trapping him inside the ring of glowing swords.
".. You will not be able to attack me.." she glanced to the last card in her hand and looked to Zen, face stoic "Your turn."

"Right!" Xenneth said with a smile as he drew a card as he didn't seem the least bit upset at her Magic Card that was on the field. "I'll summon UFO Turtle!" he said with a smile and then took three cards from his hand and set them face down. "I'll set these three cards and then I'll end my turn!" he said with a smile as he gave a blissful smile.
