Yes, I'm attempting another TMOHS/YGO Crossover. The old one got to a point where it went nowhere, and overall got confusing. Therefore, I'm making another, more orderly one. Yes, it seems like it's going to suffer the fate of the original GX, but I'm going to have it be both as funny as TMOHS and as serious as YGO Season 0. So, don't bag it. Please.

When did I stop believing in the Millenium Items?

It would be more accurate to say that I never believed in such a thing. The idea of gold pieces containing spirits was completely absurd to me. However, I still believed in things like Duel Monsters spirits. I wanted to rescue beautiful girls from evil organizations, and save the earth with supernatural powers. It was only in middle school that I learned that no such things actually existed. Reality can be so cruel sometimes.

Eventually, I became a great duelist. Great enough to enter Duel Academy, a high-school that doubled as a normal high school and a dueling center.

I made it to the sign-ups, and written down my name. Since nobody uses it to refer to me, I use a nickname my sister gave to me:

Kyon.

But enough of that. I entered the building, where some Duelists were having entry duels. I knew that I would be dueling for a life away from everything else, and I came prepared.

As I sat down, I noticed a girl next to me looking over her deck, her green-hued hair falling to her seat.

"Hey," I said, "Nervous?"

"A little," the girl said, "My name's Keiko Tsuruya."

"Kyon," I replied, holding out my hand.

"Yo!" I heard a very familiar voice, and turned to my old friend, "'Sup, Kyon!"

"Oh, Hey, Taniguchi," I replied to my old friend from middle school.

"Looks like another great year, only this time at a Duelist Boarding School!"

Whoop-de-doo.

"Oh, this guy's overconfident, Nyoro," Tsuruya raised an eyebrow.

"Nyoro?"

"That's my catchphrase," Tsuruya explained.

"Will you two be quiet?" another guy looked at us from the row behind us, "I'm studying their strategies."

"Way to be a sourpuss, Kunikida," Taniguchi observed.

"Taniguchi, shut up," Kunikida growled at him.

As we conversed, I noticed a girl with long, brown hair staring at the situation. She was just a row away from me, so I decided to engage her in conversation.

"Hi," I said, "The name's Kyon. Yours?"

The girl stood up and turned around, revealing hazel eyes that accented her hair, and a cute face.

"I'm Haruhi Suzumiya." the Girl began, "I don't have time for normal humans, and am currently seeking Spirits of Duel Monster cards. If you have anything related to these topics, say them now, because I don't care for anything else. Thank you."

Then she turns and sat down again.

Is she serious about that?

"All of it," Haruhi replied.

Seeing nothing else to do, I turned to Haruhi again.

"So..." I said, "I happen to know what you're going through. I used to be obsessed with those topics myself."

"Really?" Haruhi turned to me again.

"I used to look around for them every day," I continued, "Then I realized something."

"Like what?"

I was tempted to say they didn't exist, but I decided to soften the pain.

"It would be a one in a million chance of finding them. There are billions upon billions of people that live on this planet, and something like a Duel Monster spirit would be an extremely uncommon thing. How would you go about locating one, especially since they'd most likely want to remain hidden?"

Haruhi frowned at this and rubbed her chin, looking thoughtful for a moment.

"Good point," she conceded, "But I'm willing to risk that chance."

Dang. Well, allow the inevitable, I guess.

"Will Haruhi Suzumiya please enter Duel Arena 3 ASAP?" The announcer yelled.

"... We'll continue this conversation later," Haruhi spoke, then walked down to said arena.

After my duel, which I won, I was waiting for my dorm assignment. There were three dorms in Duel Academy:

Dorm #1: Obelisk Blue
Named after Obelisk the Tormentor, this dorm contained all the top Duelists of Duel Academy. Most have extreme inferiority complexes, but a few have sympathies with the lower dorms.

Dorm #2: Ra Yellow
Named after The Winged Dragon of Ra, this dorm contained all the average students. As you can imagine, Ra students outnumber most other students.

Dorm #3: Slifer Red
Named after Slifer the Sky Dragon, This dorm contained all the pathetic students in terms of either Dueling or Grades. It also doubled as a toolshed. No shit.

As I observed the Board, Taniguchi and Kunikida walked up to me.

"If you like Suzumiya, forget it," said Taniguchi, "I was in her middle school class for three years in a row. I can tell you from experience, don't bother. She dumped every guy she was ever with back in middle school. The longest lasted a week, the shortest was five minutes." He sounded very disdainful when he said, "If you don't want to go out, then don't say yes!"

"But I don't like her," I replied, "She's just a very strange person."

"Just be cautious of her, Kyon," Kunikida warned.

Huh. Cautious. With Haruhi around, this should be an interesting year...

As I looked out my window for the last time this year, I could swear, I saw a blue giant, a yellow eagle, and a red dragon in the sky.

Well, with nowhere else to go, I should be getting to bed.

Up next, The Dorms are decided!
