The Legion's Classics: The Emperor's Regnant

Chapter 9: Shark's Counterattack!

Later that night I was laying down on my bed while Happy was laying on my chest. I gently stroked my new cat gaining a purr of content. I looked over at my deck which was sitting on the little bedside table.

"I feel that a storm is approaching." I mutter to myself before looking up at the ceiling. "I just hope Yuma, Astral and I are ready for it." I finish before closing my eyes and letting sleep overtake me.

-Zexal-

"Oh No!" Yuma yelled out running in place beside me. "Late Late"

"Yuma, Calm down." I tell him standing beside him calmly while we were waiting for the crosswalk light.

"But We're really late Ven!" Yuma yells out in a panic.

I just shrug and pull out a lollipop and stick it in my mouth. "It's your own fault for staying up so late" I verbaly poke at Yuma

Yuma just sticks his tounge out at me before notices the light change, Yuma looks around a bit before going to run across. I slowly walk after him. I notice a Motorcycle speeding towards Yuma.

"YUMA!" I yell out in worry.

Yuma dodges the motorcycle and the driver stops.

"Who's the reckless Son of a?!" I begin to say before the driver looks at us.

"You're..." Yuma Starts.

"Shark?" "Ryoga!" Yuma says aloud and I say mentally.

Shark just looks at us for a bit before driving off.

"Shark, where's he going anyways?" Yuma questions.

"Who knows?" I say with a shrug. "But we should get off the road"

"Huh Why?" Yuma Asks before a loud honking is heard making Yuma have to dodge a car.

"That's why" I say in a calm tone from the sidewalk.

-Zexal-

"I made it" Yuma moans exhausted.

"Yuma-Kun!" Takashi says to Yuma making Yuma Jump in fright.

I chuckle at Yuma's Reaction.

"Let me have a look at your deck." Takashi tells Yuma digging through his bag.

"What are you doing?" I ask Takashi giving him a look.

I notice Kotori and Tetsuo walk up behind Takashi as they look at Yuma's deck.

"What's going on?" I ask walking up next to Kotori.

"Morning Ven" Kotori says with a small smile.

I feel my face heat up from Kotori's smile

"Huh?" Takashi mutters looking at Yuma's deck.

I look over at Takashi with a raised eyebrow of interest. "Wanna tell us what's going on inside that mess of your head?"

"It's not here" he mutters aloud.

"What isn't?" Yuma questions.

"I mean your Numbers." Takashi tells Yuma. "Where are those cards?

Why are you looking for the Numbers?!" I ask Takashi putting a firm hand on his shoulder.

"We were just curious about them is all." Kotori tells me.

I give her a soft nod "We'll don't, you've all see firsthand how the Numbers affect someone." I tell them firmly gaining three reluctant nods.

"The Numbers?" Yuma questions. "They don't show up in my deck unless that guy is around."
