"Shouri Sakini... It is me."

The voice calls out. Great, it's him, again. What a pain in the ass...
I'm over here in bed trying to get some damn sleep, but this asshole has to wake me up! Sometimes, I wish I never found that deck...

"Yeah, what, Dead End?"

"I feel something bad's happening." Dead End replies. Well, great for him, I don't care.

"Cool, but now I need some sleep. Piss off."

"This time I'm just here to warn you. Seriously, if you ever need me-"

"Piss off." I don't need his help right now, I need sleep. It's eleven pm in the fucking evening and I've been up late all night trying to catch up on studies cause I spent the last few days pissing about with Akane and Rikishi.

"The Void..."

The Void my ass. I swear, if he speaks again, I'm gonna end up trying to rip up that card!!

It's been so many years since that fateful day, where I and Dead End met.

Finding that deck was the worst thing I've done.

The clan that Bushiroad doesn't even support.

Forbidden Chains.

The leader of the clan, Arbiter of the Swift Chains, Dead End, has been non-stop talking to me every night since.

For once, shut the fuck up.

I can barely get sleep anymore- but I've gotten used to it to some extent. But seriously, it's been affecting my grades at school. I have a future, so I can't be pissing about talking to some card printed on paper. Jesus.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm just insane...

Somehow, I slept peacefully, that night.

Waking up in my bed, I look around me. The first thing I hear the incessant noise of an alarm clock blasting into my ear. Beep, beep, beep, yeah, fuck off. As you can see, foul language is ingrained in my natural speech, so fuck you. There's such a satisfying feeling when you say a so called "bad word". It also adds a lot of power to it, making my words sound harsh... Eh. I pull my covers off my warm body, which is then hit by pure cold. I hate mornings.

After brushing my teeth and taking a piss, I went to go put on my uniform. It consisted of a blazer, a white button up shirt, tie, school shoes and grey dress pants. I go look at myself at the mirror once I'm done and I look at myself. Great, my brown hair's in a mess, again. It just wants to be special, doesn't it? I need my glasses... I put them on and I can see clearly now. My dark eyes probably sticks out like a grain of uncooked rice in a rice bowl, as it's just black. Pure, black. Other than that, I look ready to learn.

I go downstairs to get breakfast, which is on the table ready for me. Thanks mom! I take my buttered toast and shove it into my mouth as I eat as fast as I can, and get a spoonful of baked beans drenched in tomato sauce at the same time, indulging in my breakfast. Yum. Once the main meal is done, I get my glass of OJ, and drink it all at once, the taste of orange getting me ready for the goddamn day. Let's go!

A/N

Okay, so Prologue. Fun, yahoo.

So, this book fits into Season 3, FYI. The start of the book here is equal to the start of Season 3 of Cray's Collapse. (The book this spins off to.)

So when Yza and the lot goes back from the tournament, Shouri and the lot's adventure has just started in this book.

Great!

Now, I hope I won't fail too hard on this book. I don't really plan to make the characters from this book become mains in Cray's Collapse. But the Cray Collapse guys will probably come into his book because the Void and all.

Personally, read up to Season 2 of Cray's Collapse, then decide which path to follow. This one, or that one?

Or maybe just both! :D

I hope you'll enjoy the spin off.

Fox, out!
