"I'm home!" Ryuuga announced, entering his home. By now, it was already dinner time. "Sorry for being late, I was out with Fuji- Wait, it's you, from the Hage. Joe?"

Joe stood in front of Ryuuga. "Yeah, it's me. I'll be living here for a while."

"Wait, I don't get-"

"Ryuuga, I'm your half brother."

Ryuuga's world froze. "W-what..."

"Did he believe it?" Shouto asked, peaking his head into the scene.

"He did and it was priceless!" Joe said, starting to laugh alongside Shouto.

Ryuuga sweatdropped. "Huh?" He blinked once. "What?" He blinked twice. "What's going on?"

"How would I be your half brother when we're the same age?" Joe asked. "When I said you probably didn't remember me is because you used to call me by another name. Joe is just a short form of my first name and Zaizen is just a name I use casually since my last name is too long. You'd know this if you were in the same class me but you aren't. My actual name is Banjoe Higashikata. I'm your cousin."

(Opening)

"Ryuuga, I'm coming in, hide whatever doubtful thing you're doing." Joe warned as he walked into Ryuuga's room uninvited and unmasked. He looked at Ryuuga, who was sitted on his desk. "Huh? You're not watching anything shameful or doing a questionable thing? What type of teenager are you?"

"One that has been around the world and whatever it is, he'll understand, but if it is free time, he won't. I'm working on some things for the Heiwa Royalty. Our Jack only arrives tomorrow and we still lack an Ace." Ryuuga explained. He never moved his eyes away from the notebook he was writing on.

"You guys have a Jack? Listen I may only have started going to Heiwa a month ago but all I've seen was you and those two other girls." Joe replied, taking a seat on the bed. "Also what's up with that?"

"With what? The girls?"

"Yeah. Is one of them your girlfriend or something? Are you in a weird thing with two girls? Did winning a national champion made you a playboy?"

"Yes, no and no. Fujiko, the one who worked at the store, is my girlfriend, while Aijou, the other girl, is her best friend."

"I see, I see. So what's her deal? Is she single? Because she has the nicest rack I've seen ever since I return."

"She's single, but her dating scene is an overall mess of a thing. I don't even know where I'd start to make things make any sense. But take this as a friendly warning, don't make alot of comments about her body when the Jack's around. Those two are good friends."

"If you say so, I won't. Besides, I already have someone in America waiting for me."

"Does she know that?" Ryuuga snickered.

Joe squinted. "YES SHE DOES, YOU BASTARD!" He looked around. "That's weird, I thought all japenese teenagers had one of those stupidly huge pillows with a cartoon character on it. I knew a japanece guy in America who did."

"I don't think that can even be considered a stereotype. And it's not cartoon, it's anime. Big difference, am not attached enough to rage about it like Reddit."

"Don't even get me started on Reddit. So what if Uverworld sucks? I lived in America for ten years, I bathe myself in the holyness that is rap music."

"You probably went into the Promised Neverland subreddit... I don't even dare to ask what happened."

"What's a Promise Never Land? Listen, I watched one or two episodes of that sword online show and alot of Dragon Ball, that makes me more than qualified to talk about anime."

"Anything in specific you wanted to talk about?"

"Nah, I just came here for a chitchat. Besides, I observed you for a month before going to the card shop and challenge you. You deserve a pause from all this work every once in a while. Just keep that in mind, will ya?" Joe asked, jumping off the bed and walking out of the room, closing the door behind him.

"I will. I'll try." Ryuuga looked at what he wrote. "What is free time anymore..."

"AH! DOES FUJIKO KNOW YOU'RE INTO YAOI WITH BONDAGE?!" Aijou squealed as she watched Ryuuga and Joe leave the Sawada house in the following morning.

"Good morning to you too, Aijou." Ryuuga said, waving Aijou off. "This is my cousin, Banjoe Higashikata, Joe Zaizen for short."

Aijou glared at Joe's eyes, startling the redhead.

"W-what is she doing...?" Joe asked, lifiting an eyebrow.

"Joe Zaizen... Joe Zaizen... You'll be Zi!"

"Is that supposed to be a nickname?"

"Yes!" Aijou nooded with a smile.

"Sure, you can call me that, but only because you have huge tits."

"Yay!" She tossed her arms in the air. "My boobs win again!"

Ryuuga sweatdropped. "Maybe you're more Hikaru's cousin than mine..."

Fujiko blinked. "He's your cousin? I honestly would have never guessed that. I mean, not because of the mask, but because of the hair."

"Yeah, what's up with that? Izuru and uncle Shouto have red hair, how come yours is brown?" Joe asked, looking at Ryuuga.

"Oh, I mostly used dye on it for alot of time, but it eventually just became a shade that resembles brown so I don't have to worry about it now. Mostly genetics since my mom's hair is also brown."

"Are you three really talking about hair in front of the school's gate?" Aijou asked, sweatdropping. "it's not the weirdest thing that has happened in this gate but come on."

"You're right here with us." The other three replied.

"Of course I am, I'm worried that you three will get late for classes! I mean Ryuuga almost got late to school yesterday for sleeping in!"

"You went into my home... You had breakfeast with my family... YOU COULD HAVE GONE AND WAKE ME-"

Aijou striked Ryuuga's head with her karate chop. "Invalid argument!"

"Huh, she has more than boobs." And then, as if his mask didn't existed, Joe felt a sharp pain erupt over his left facial cheek, an explosion of heat and pain. "AHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

"This hand." Fujiko declared, her voice in a dark tone. She held her right hand up. "Aijou is my best friend, an unneeded comment about her chest gets you a slap."

"I-i guess the thighs also exi- GAAAAH WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, RYUUGA?!" Joe asked, rubbing both sides of his face.

"If you ever meet Hikaru, everything will make sense...." Ryuuga muttered, rubbing his head.

"Speaking of classes, is Abbacchio finally coming today?" Aijou asked, her eyes showing small stars.

"His plane is scheduled to land at the same time our final class ends."

Aijou's hopeful and happy expression changed into an angry one. "ABBACCHIO BASTARD, YOU'RE THE WORST GUY A GIRL COULD HAVE AS A BEST FRIEND! But again, you went to Italy for that mangaka convention that you had been waiting for weeks, just to make your craft evolve, so I can't blame you."

Joe and Ryuuga stared at Aijou. 'What the hell was that 180...?'

"Hey, Joe, since you aren't in our class, then you probably are in Abbacchio's class. Have you ever seen him? He's really hard to miss." Fujiko stated.

"I really don't pay much attention to the rest of my class. I'm sitted all the way in the back, right next to a window. Really hard to believe since my legal surname starts with H."

"Enough chitchat, me and Fujiko have things to do before classes start. Don't worry Ryuuga, I promise you no one will touch these while you're not around." Aijou said, showing Ryuuga a large grin.

"A-aijou!" Fujiko exclaimed, slapping her hands away. Her face was bright red. "How many times have I told you to not do that?"

"We're best friends, grabbing each other's boobs is totally normal. Anyway, see you boys later!"

Ryuuga and Joe watched the girls walk into the school building. Joe looked at Ryuuga. "What boobs did Aijou grabbed?"

"Come on dude, that's my girlfriend we're talking about, I can assure you she has boobs."

Joe laughed and placed his arm around Ryuuga's neck, bringing him into a headlock. "You sly dog, you're just as much of a pervert as your ol' cousin Banjoe. So about this Abbacchio guy, need company to go fetch him up from the airport?

"Sure, why not? Now let me go or I'll break you arm." Ryuuga replied with a smile.

"Yeah su- SON OF A BITCH!"

"I can't believe you actually almost broke my arm!" Joe grumbled as he and Ryuuga entered the aiport. "So how do we know if the guy is coming?"

"Abbacchio is hard to miss. Just trust me on this one, you'll know when he's close. Impossible to miss. But I suggest you to not interfere." Ryuuga explained. 

"Just what is this-" Joe's incoming question was abrupted by the loud sound of a crowd, a loud sound composed of the voice of women. "What the..."

A figure approached the two boys, a boy of her their age with long silver hair and glimmering yellow eyes. He wore a long, dark, lapel-less overcoat with laces that cross his bare chest, dark bell-bottomed pants, and black shoes. The buckle of his belt bore a gold insignia of the letter "A". And behind him, a large group of girls followed him.

'This italian ass has all the fangirls...' Joe thought.

"Like, I want him in me forever." One of the girls in the crowd said.

"I'd cheat on my boyfriend for a piece of that italian sausage." Another one said.

"I like girls but I'd let all of that go for that." A third one said.

"Like oh my god Tiffany, I feel like I'm in preschool because I just wet my underwear." A fourth one said.

"Long time no see, Abbacchio." Ryuuga greeted, lifting his arm up.

"Likewise, Ryuuga." Abbacchio replied with a smirk,s trikign Ryuuga's forearm with his own, like two blades clashing. Then, he glared at Joe. "Who's this cunt?"

"That's a bit too harsh, Abacchio. This is-"

"I am the envoy of nightmares that bangs your girlfriend in your dreams, the wicked encarnation of the wicked, the who brings you a thing called damnation- Even though I still don't know what that means-"

"So you're a retard?" Abbachio asked.

"What?! No! I'm-"

"This is my cousin Banjoe Higashikata, Joe Zaizen for short, he's a good guy that just plays around alot."

Joe sweatdropped. "You don't need to mention my legal name, it's too long for anyone's good."

"Joe Zaizen... Fine then. The name's Jerome Abbacchio, but you'll call me Abbacchio like the rest of people and-" Abbacchio slammed his foot and looked back, glaring at the crowd. "WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?!"

"YES!" The crowd replied, overjoyed by Abbacchio simply looking at them and talking to them.

Abbacchio sweatdropped. "Tell me we don't have to walk."

"Payic is outside on the car waiting for us. Her idea, she knows how much fangirls annoy you."

"Mr. Abbacchio, an easily triggering guy, I'd never think that." Joe mocked.

"The only thing that will trigger is my fist snapping your jaw with your own idiotic mask."

"Eh, you're quite the asshole."

"Likewise."

Ryuuga chuckled under the sparks Joe and Abbacchio shot from their eyes at each other. 'I guess a hate-hate friendship is a start, but it would help if Joe wasn't so sarcastic and if Abbacchio wasn't so easily annoyed.' "I think Payic has waited enough, we should go know."

"I agree. My phone died before I caught the plane in Venice, and I left my charger back in the mansion. I don't care which jackass is using it now, I'm taking it back."

"That amount of fangirls is making me hate this italian jackass even more so the less time I'm around them, the better."

"This house is freaking gigantasaurus!" Joe exclaimed. His jaw was dropped, his eyes filled with amazement. "You mean to tell me this huge house belongs to her?!" He pointed at Payic.

"It's technically my husband's. And the house isn't just what is ours. Remember the metal fence that began at the road to the right before the one we took to get here? Everything inside that fence is ours. The networth of this place is almost in the billions."

Joe gasped. "You have... You have... WHO THE HELL IS HER HUSBAND AND WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING?!"

"It's Ryuzaki Mikazuchi, and he's also my boss." Ryuuga answered.

"B-boss...?"

"Yeah, I work on his company. I mostly get paid for showing up every once in a while and test their fighting gear."

"What the hell does that Ryuzaki guy do?!"

"He's the CEO of the company and- Huh... I'm not sure. Payic, what does Ryuzaki do besides owning the company?"

"That's a good question that I don't know how to answer."

"Jesus- Wait, Ryuzaki? White hair, red eyes, was on live TV once for running across a desert Nevada because of Area 51 even though the evnt had been years ago?"

"That sums about 10% of who he is, yeah."

Joe palced his hand sin Ryuuga's shoulders. "You crazy ass of a cousin... You must get shit tons of money for doing absolutly nothing because that guy he's dummy rich..."

"I mostly save money since I don't waste alot but-"

"YOUR NETWORTH MUST BE LARGER THAN MY PARENTS' BY NOW!"

"I don't think I'm old enough to have a networth though."

"STOP HAVING AN ANSWER TO EVERY-"

"Hey, shitheads, shut up and come with me." Abbacchio demanded, standing on the upper end of the staircase in the entrance hall. His long coat had been replaced with a simple white shirt with empty manga pannels. He also held a sledgehammer over his right shoulder.

"Why do you have a sledgehammer?" Ryuuga asked.

"I'll go get the repairman on the line..." Payic muttered as she walked off.

"I'm going to get my charger. I assume Maverick is the one who has it. Come on, let's go."

"Your italian friend is a fucking maniac." Joe said.

"I have more italian friends. I'd say he's in second palce when it comes to being the weirdest. Come on, let's see what he's going to do."

"I'm going to enjoy this."

Abbacchio swang down the sledgehammer, shattering to bits the two golden door knobs in the wooden doors that lead to Maverick's room. "Sometimes they borrow my stuff and lock their rooms without any reason, but mostly Riku, so I have to break their door knobs to make the doors unlock."

"I doubt that's how the mechanism works but okay." Ryuuga tried to push the doors, but they didn't budge. "How, that's odd. With the door knobs and locks destroyed, the doors should open without a problem."

"Tch, the dumbass most have closed the door so hard that one of his dumbells fell down and is blocking the doors. We could push the doors all we wont, but because science is studpid, it'll get to a point where the doors can't move because they got stuck on the weights in the dumbell." Abbacchio tossed the sledgehammer to the floor and started walking down the hallway.

"That or, and this is a genius idea from a japanese who was in America, we open the doors until we cant anymore and make the dumbell roll away by using our-"

Abbacchio started running down the hallway, charging towards the door. He jumped and tackled the doors, breaking them down to pieces.

Ryuuga and Joe stared at the scene. "ABBACCHIO WHAT DID YOU DO?!" They asked.

"It's called an entrance. Ah shit, my charger isn't here. Not the next room.

"You're not going to bust down another door, are you?" Ryuuga asked.

Abbacchio looked at Ryuuga and laughed. "Sure."

"I'm very doubtful of-"

Abbacchio kicked down the door of Inu's room and walked in, looking through some drawers to find said charger. "If it isn't here, then it can't be anywhere else."

"He busted down another do- Wait a sec, this house belongs to the richest man in recent history, it doens't matter how many doors he breaks here, we can break them too!"

"It's not the time for your dumb logic, Banjoe!"

Joe squinted. "It's Joe, not Banjoe!"

"You two, shut off!" Abbacchio exclaimed.

"No you shut up, comicbook shirt!"

"Oh you done goofed up now, Banjoe Higashikata..." Ryuuga muttered.

"Huh..?" Abbacchio glared at Joe over his shoulder. "Huuuuuuuuh..?"

"What is it?"

"This shirt doesn't depicts comicbook pannels, it has manga pannels."

"Same shit, it's all books with images and lines in bubbles, it's still needs reading which makes it a boring crap."

"I want to become a mangaka. Do you know what is?"

"A manga collect-"

"A fucking manga writer, you obsolute cunt. Joe Zaizen or Banjoe Higashikata or whatever the fuck you want to be called, your existence right now is an insult for my life's goal and I'm going to shove this slegdehammer up your ass for that." Abbacchio started taking steps forward, in Joe's direction.

"Oh? You're approaching me?"

"I can't shove this sledgehammer up your ass without getting closer, now can I?"

"Then come and just try it, Mario."

Ryuuga slided in between the two, keeping them at a distance from each other. "That's about enough threats for a day, am I right? Listen guys, we're cardfighters, and if you two want to settled something, then do it in a game of Vanguard and now by shoving a tool into someone's anus. Is that okay?"

Joe huffed. "Whatever. I'll beat the shit out of Luigi over there in three turns. I won't even need to ride Harmonics Messiah."

"I'm going to shred you, your retardedness and your stereotypes before you get to try and ride that card after you realize you can't win without it."

In the backyard of the mansion, there was a small lake with a circular white stone platform in it's center, with four stone bridges leading to it from the top, bottom, right and left. On the center of the platform, there was a fighting table.

Abbacchio placed down his starter. "I'm giving you one last chance to just accept getting the sledgehammer in your ass."

"And you have one last chance to admit that manga and comcis are all the same shit." Joe replied, placing down his.

"No deal." The two said.

Ryuuga sighed. "I'm going to be overseeing this fight. With the mulligan done and everything ready, yout wo may now stand your vanguards.

"Stand up, vanguard! Blackboard Parrot! (Grade 0|6000)" Abbacchio's vanguard circle expanded orange.

"Stand up, my avatar! The white star shining through the cosmos, Neon Messiah! (Grade 0|6000)" Joe's vanguard circle exploded white.

"Abbacchio will go first. Have a fair fight, you two. And keep the threats  at a low level."

"No thanks. Draw! I ride Monoculus Tiger. (Grade 1|8000) Blackboard Parrot's skill, draw one. Turn end."

"I don't like useless chitchat during a fight. The quicker I end it, the better. Binoculus Tiger attacks! (9000) Counterblast one, Chance activate!"

"Chance? What a crappy skill name is that?"

"When Binoculous Tiger attacks, I can counterblast one and use his Chance skill. I take the top card of my deck and send it to the drop zone, then a skill is activated depending on the card. (Barcode Zebra) It's a normal unit, meaning I draw one card."

"No guard. (Cable Sheep - Draw) All effects to my vanguard and I draw. (19000)"

Joe clicked his tongue. "Bastard. Drive check! (Harmonics Messiah) Can't pass. Turn end."

'Joe, you're being too confident in this fight. Because of that, you're starting to become reckless and will lose.' Ryuuga thought as he looked at Joe.

"Talk about a show-"

"Surpass my limitations! I ride School Hunter, Leo-pald! (Grade 3|12000)" Abbacchio's vanguard circle exploded orange. "Imaginary Gift, Accel II! I gain a new front row circle that gives the unit on it 5k during my turn. I also draw one for free. Leo-pald's skill when placed, Chance!"

"Here we got with the crappy name agai-"

"(Great Instructor, Bison) It's a normal unit. I check the top four cards of my deck and call up to two Grade 2 or lower units. Binoculus Tiger (Grade 2|9000) and Silver Wolf. (Grade 1|8000) Silver Wolf's skill when in the backrow, add 4k power. (8000>>12000) I call Geograph Giant to the Accel circle. (Grade 2|9000>>14000) Geograph's skill. When he is on an Accel circle, add 8k no matter the turn. (14000>>22000)"

"Yeesh, talk about free advantage."

"Leo-pald attacks! Steel Dance: Thunderclap and Slash! (12000)"

"What are you now, a Nubatama user? I guard with Lady Healer of the Thorn World! (30000) That's two to pass. Maybe you should have used that Wolf on your vanguard and not some smaller kitty cat."

"I don't care. (Tank Mouse) (Ruler Chameleon - Critical) All effects to Geograph Giant. (22000>>32000/2) Boosted by Silver Wolf, Binoculus Tiger attacks! (9000>>21000) Counterblast and Chance! (Triangle Cobra)"

"Ah well, a trigger unit. Guess you won't be drawing."

"I'll say you're right for once. I'm not gonna draw, I'm gonna kill that Lady Battler bitch on your field and give 5k to the three units on my front row. (32000>>37000) (21000>>26000) (12000>>17000)"

Joe moved Lady Battler to the drop zone. "Fine then. I don't guard. (Destiny Dealer)"

"Stand and draw. Roar again, persona ride! School Hunter, Leo-pald! (Grade 3|12000)" Abbacchio's vanguard circle exploded orange once again. "Imaginary Gift, Accel II! Draw! And then, Chance!"

"Yeah yeha, go on and mill one."

"Bold. When I have a grade 3 in soul, I can use Chance twice. Double Chance! (Dictionary Goat) A trigger unit. Leo-pald gains 15k and one critical! (12000>>27000/2) (Binoculus Tiger) A normal unit. I look at the top four and call two. Barcode Zebra (Grade 2|9000) and Geograph Giant. (Grade 2|9000>>14000>>22000) I call Tank Mouse (Grade 1|6000) and Monoculus Tiger. (Grade 1|8000) Battle!

(22000>>27000) (27000>>32000) (22000>>27000) And then, Barcode Zebra's skill. When the top card of my deck is sent to the drop zone, add 5000 power. (9000>>14000) Tank Mouse's skill. Counterblast and return Cable Sheep to hand. The main attack is still going for 21k."

"That's a very easy guard. Balerother. (23000)"

"This will end it. Boosted by Monoculus Tiger, Leo-pald attacks! (32000>>40000/2)"

"Don't get too confident, I can guard it easily."

"No, you can't. Monoculus Tiger's Chance! I pay a soulblast for it. (Silver Wolf) A normal unit. In short, you can't use sentinels for this battle. Steel Dance: Thunderclap and Slash!"

Joe grit his teeth and looked at his cards. "No big issue there. No guard!"

"Twin drive. (Great Instructor, Bison) (Barcode Zebra)"

"Damage check! (Lady Healer of the Thorn World - Heal) A heal trigger! I can- Not activate it... Dammit! (23000) Second check! (Sunset Edge, Duskblade)"

"You lost wanting to have gotten the chance to ride Harmonics Messiah. Ryuuga, pass me the sledgehammer, I'm going to shove it up your cousin's ass."

Ryuuga sweatdropped. "You can drop the attiude now. Joe, just apologize."

"Eh, fine. I'm sorry about insulting your reading things, now stop being an asshole for no reason."

"I accept your apology, but I have a reason to be how I am, and it's not you acting like an arrogant and overconfident fuck during all the fight."

"You really have an issue with keepings things to yourself, don't you?"

"That's because I live by one simple philosophy. For all that I care about, the world needs the truth. That's why if I have something to say, I say it; if I have something I want to prove, I'll prove it. If anyone tells me wrong, I'll show why I'm right, and if I'm really wrong, I'll accept it. Living by the truth is the only way I know how to live. I, Jerome Abbacchio, follow the philosophy created by my own hands. My reason to not being friendly with you is a simple one."

"Oh yeah? Then go ahead and tell it."

"I don't trust you. Ryuuga told me the story during the ride here. You came back to Japan months before the school year even started, but you only went to him yesterday. Not only that, but out of all the times you could have returned, you chose to returned after he became a national champion and the King of Heiwa. Joe Zaizen, I don't like you and it will keep being that way for aslong as I don't trust you. There's something suspicious about your reasons."

"Then go ahead and sue me then. I got nothing to hide."

Ryuuga held his head with both hands. 'How did Hikaru meeting Emon went so easy and but Joe meeting Abbacchio placed a question mark on everything.'

"It went that bad? That sounds like Abbacchio, no doubt about it." Aijou said, sitting on top of her desk.

"Did you tell Abbacchio that Joe was in his clas?" Fujiko asked, taking a seat in Ryuuga's lap.

"Ah..." Ryuuga binked twice. "It never crossed my mind."

"Good morn- WHAT THE FUCKA RE YOU DOING HERE YOU JACKASS?!" Abbacchio exclaimed loudly as he saw Joe in his classroom.

"I ASK YOU THE SAME, WALUIGI- Oh wait, Fujiko said you were in this class."

"You piece of shit..."

"GOOD MORNING, ABBACCHIO!" A group of girls said from their tables.

Joe squinted. 'He has fangirlds in class too?!'

"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU THOTS!"

In the center of a steam-filled bathroom was a bathtub filled with water. Inside it was a girl with long black hair. The water reached all the way over her nose, almost reaching her closed eyes.

'I'm going to...'

Her eyes sparked open as she got up in a jolt, he fists clenching shut as her hair covered both of her breasts. "I'm going to get Ryuuga and when I do, he's going to pound me!"
