Xenneth had a quizzical questioned face as he stared up towards the sky. "Vegas?" he had asked as he stared forward. He hadn't heard of such a local place before, so he could only assume that it was from far off. He started to wonder if Saga was from somewhere far. "I've never heard of such a place. I've never had the chance to ask, but where do you come from Saga-san?" he had asked with a smile. "I've been wondering since you have such lovely brown skin, and that's not common around Japan." he had noted.

Saga gave a mysterious grin and winked "America. Las Vegas, Nevada. Sin City. It's where I grew up.. What happens in Vegas.. stays in Vegas. It' the best plae I've ever been to."
She blushed shyly, reminscing the ol days where she'd play as dealer as she sat in the lap of her father, which is where her love of gambling rose. She had learned as a child how to read peoples' poker faces, how to deal, how to trick people into betting more so she could reel in the ante.. Ah.. memories.

Xenneth had smiled as Saga had relapsed into her memories. He could see it in her face that she was fond of them deeply. Those kind of memories you hold to heart make you who you really are after all, but Xenneth barely had memories that would be good, but still, they made him into a good person. “Mother…” he had thought once more of her as the words ringed through his head. She was taken by the shadows, and that’s all he knew before he had vanished into the light himself and was cursed to remain there until night time.
“It’s nice to have such blissful memories.” Xenneth had murmured as he shown his weak smile once more and gazed off to the setting sun that painted the sky Orange and Yellow once more. He hadn’t given a good glance to make eye contact with Saga since she was good at seeing through him. He simply just sat by enjoying the view and trying to not think about anything sad. That was most of his life, sadness, and he only had bandaged the wound by staying happy for the sake of his spirit friends.

"Yeah. Growing up Vegas made me who I am today. A gambler. And a good one at that, if I ssay so myself," Saga said, smiling, watching the sun slowly set, speaking slowly "The way the sun hits the water reminds me of all the casino lights back home."

Xenneth smiled as she had commemnted about herself so positivly. He wish he had her sort of Self-Esteem. Anyone's self-esteem for that matter. He had thought lowly of himself lacking confidence because of his mother not being by his side, nor anyone else at that matter. That wasn't the case with Saga as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "Saga-san...you make me feel a little bit stronger." he had thought to himself.
"It's beautiful..." he had said with a smile as he stared forward. He had smiled as he tilted his head to the right and scooted closer to Saga finding comfort in feeling the touch of her warm body just by bumping shoulders and reaching out to place her hand into his. "It feels so warm...watching this with someone like you Saga-san." he had commented happily.

Saga smiled, nodding slowly "Yeah. The only people I ever waatched the sunset with were my parents, Skull and Grace."
Skull and Grace flittered about her head, humming softly to themselves, behaving for once in their bickering.
Saga watched them and smiled kindly at them, mouthing a thank you to them, tightening her hand lightly around Zen's hand.

"Skull and Grace..." he had uttered lowly to himself hearing the girl. The names sounded a bit rought and sweet, but it didn't matter. He had smiled thinking to himself thinks to those two characteristics, Saga was sitting right beside him. He wanted to know everything about her from now until later. He had closed his eyes lowly as he had heard her. "My mother name was Xian, and my father never had time for me, so I don't know him well. I...lost my mother years ago."
He had started to admit as he lowered his head. He had narrowed his eyes towards his own body as he knew his heads and feet were fully visible, but what about later? "Saga-san...I want to tell you everything." he had thought as he lowered his head in dismay.

Saga blinked, looking to Zen, blinking again, biting her lip and looking away "I.. I'm sorry to hear that. I bet she was beautiful, especially with such an exotic name like Xian.. She must've loved you dearly, too, huh?"
She stared out at the setting sun, it almost gone beyond the ocean's borders, tipping the sky a faint dark orange and red as night slowly settled in.

"She was..." he said as he lowered his head a bit more. "Saga-san...I don't know how to say this, but It's not possible for me to exist in this world and forever watch over you as I always should." he had begun to say as he clinched his leg digging his finger prints into his clothing wrinkling them slightly. "When I was younger, I was cursed by my mother, but it was to protect me. I can't stay in this world during Day Break, and I fade back into another dimension called the Realm of Light."
He had said until he lowered his head so close to his arms that his words were almost muffled. "I-I know it sounds silly, but, I don't expect you to believe me. You can think it's because I don't want to get close to people, but it's all I can say. I'm really sorry if I didn't tell you before you got to know me. I know I'm no good as a friend if I can't be here for you all the time like I should." he had said as his body shook a little from the nervousness.

Saga blinked and looked to him, tilting her head, completely calm and not angry whatsoever "So.. you're like an angel?"
She ran her fingers along his clenched hand tenderly, as if telling him through touch to loosen up and not be so nervous, as there shouldn't be anything to be nervous about. It was just them two, and Saga's two Duel Spirits that Zen most likely couldn't see anyway.
Saga smiled slowly, watching his expression carefully.

"Well....not exactly..." Xenneth had said pausing as he furtherly tried to explain. "The Real of Light...It's something opposite to that other place, the Shadow Realm, except it's so peaceful and bliss. Monsters battle to play the game and not to turn it into a massacre. There's not danger, and my friends reside there." he had explained with a smile.
"It's a good place, but because of my mother's curse...I disappear at day break and return there to regain any energy lost. I come back at night since that's when darkness is at it's strongest. So I guess you can say I watch over this school just like an angel." he had said with a smile even though he was just trying to be humerous.

"That's kinda cool, actually.." Saga said, pondering to herself a little. Shadow Realm.. where did she hear that.. she heard of it before.. but where?
She seemed completely unphased by Zen's secret and nodded slowly "Is that why after our duel you were transparent as you walked away?"
Her eyes were locked out on the ocean as the sun finally sunk beyond the sea, the island now covered in a starry blanket of night. The only sounds that rang out into the night were the gentle waves lapping along the shoreline.

Xenneth had picked his head up as he looked towards Saga. He was pretty sure the rising sun would only make it seem like her eyes were playing tricks on her, but it seemed like she wasn't too sure if that. It was obvious she had knew for a while something was wrong or different about him at night. "Y-yes..." he had said as he lowered his head realizing she had some clue about his condition. He just felt a little dumb that she would go to great lengths to respect his secrecy and didn't ask.

Saga nodded and pondered a moment silently, tapping her chin with her other hand as she held Zen's hand with her other "So.. how is this 'curse' broken? All curses have to have a way to break them, right?"
She looked at him and smiled pleasantly, a sparkle of hope in her eyes. With her, there was always a gamble, always hope of getting something you want.

Xenneth had lowered his head as a weak smile plastered across his face. It was obvious that it was fake as he muttered the words, "I don't know..." he had said as he stared towards the shore sands as the water swept to and fro. "My mother cast it...and only she'd know how to set me free. But...she disappeared, into the Shadow Realm trying to protect me." he had admitted sadly.
