*Late at night, deep within the city, a dark figure is waiting in the shadows of an alleyway, his cape moving slightly in the cool nightly breeze. As he waits, he keeps alert for any sounds, indicating either the arrival of the person he's waiting for... or anything that might potentially disturb them.*

[After a few moments...a short noise rings out, a bird call of some kind.

Then after another couple seconds, another figure in a trenchcoat approaches him.]

Yuto.

[dark_rebellion]

Shun.

*Yuto does a final wary glance around the area, before giving Shun a small nod to tell him that they are alone and that they can talk.*

[dauntlessfalcon]

Thanks for the help.

Just for the record, though, I had it under control. You didn't need to expose yourself like that.

[dark_rebellion]

We're in this battle together.
Besides, I was curious about them as well.

*He also wanted to make sure Shun didn't injure himself again, but... he's not gonna mention that.
He pauses to take a moment, before continuing.*

So you feel they may not be linked to Academia?

[dauntlessfalcon]

...I'm not sure.

But I can find out for sure, now. I have a tag duel against two of them, then a one-on-one duel against Kachidoki. When I duel them, I'll find out the truth for sure.

[dark_rebellion]

Both a tag duel and one-on-one?

[dauntlessfalcon]

[...well, they were gonna have to broach this subject sooner or later, might as well get it over with.]

The tag duel is Tendou and Kachidoki against me and a duelist named Sakaki Yuya.

They think he was the one who helped me fight off the two of them.

[dark_rebellion]

Sakaki Yuya?

*Yuto looks a little puzzled.*

Why do they think I was this particular duelist?

[dauntlessfalcon]

[Shun grimaces a little.

He brings up a picture on his Duel Disk:

[dark_rebellion]

*Yuto looks at the screen of Shun's duel disk in shock and disbelief.
That was his own face looking back at him.
Different clothes. Different hairstyle. But the exact same face.

He's completely speechless at first and it takes him a moment to find the ability to speak. When he does, he looks up at Shun.*

...why does he look like me?

[dauntlessfalcon]

I'm gonna be honest, I was kind of hoping you could tell me.

[dark_rebellion]

I have no idea.

*A lot of reasonings were shooting through his head at this moment. Was this just a coincidence they looked alike? Or were they related in some way? Yuto had never known his real family, but it made no sense to have a relative in another dimension.
He had to admit he was curious though. Just who was this 'Sakaki Yuya'?*

What do you know about him?

[dauntlessfalcon]

He's an Entertainment Duelist...he's the son of Sakaki Yusho.

He's always hanging out with Hiragi Yuzu. [The girl he's still holding on to some hope is Ruri, somehow.] Apparently he pioneered Pendulum Summoning in this dimension.

[dark_rebellion]

*Yuto listens to Shun in silence, then looks back at the picture of Yuya on Shun's duel disk for a moment, before letting out a sigh.
As curious as he is, they have more important things to concentrate on right now.*

For now we should continue with what we need to concentrate on.
We can figure out later why he looks like me.

[dauntlessfalcon]

Yeah.

I'll focus on dealing with Ryozanpaku and finding out whether or not they're connected to Academia or not.

...at some point. I need to just speak with Hiragi Yuzu. And see who she actually is.

[dark_rebellion]

*Yuto nods.*

I'll keep an eye on her as well and see if I can find an opening where she can be talked to.

[dauntlessfalcon]

Alright.

If none of this pans out...we'll probably have to go after Heartland and see if he knows anything.

[dark_rebellion]

*Yuto gives him another nod.*

Agreed.
