(GS3) Field: Rijuku Residential Area

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai walked down the path to his house, it had been a week since he was here. He wanted to see if anything had changed in the week he had left. But it seemed like nothing had changed in the slightest. Kurai then leaned on a nearby lamppost whilst taking his deck out of his pocket. He gave it a glance and took out one card. That card was Demon World Marquis Amon. With this, he spoke lightly, so only those in a close proximity could hear him. "Hopefully we got stronger... Amon"

[Kuro]

Haruki was really happy today. The other day he was congratulated by the local police for helping the woman in the park who got her purse stolen. It was a big boost in his rise to becoming a hero of justice. He walked through the residential area, seeing if he could help other people in need. As he patrolled the area, he spotted his friend Kurai looking at his deck. The young man of justice went over to greet his friend with a wave, as he hadn't seen him for a while.

"Hey Kurai. How've you been?" Haruki gave a friendly smile as he said hello.

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai looked up from Amon and turned his attention to the voice. It was Haruki, the boy of justice he was antiquated with. It seemed like Kurai didn't notice him. It was Kurai's street that he lived on, and he was in the very same spot as he was before when they cardfighted each other. He decided to play it cool and greet him. "I've just came back from my week in Kyoto. I've been training there. What have you been doing Haruki?"

[Kuro]

"Nice, I've been doing some training myself." Haruki was happy to hear that his friend was doing well while he was gone in Kyoto. "I've been honing my cardfighting skills for the new Hero of Cray contest that was announced, and using my justice to help the people too. I really should thank you for those dimensional robo cards, they were a great improvement to my deck."

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

"Allow us to fight then. And see the power we both have obtained" with his he prepared to fight Haruki.

[Kuro]

"Alright, let's have a fun fight Kurai." Haruki was ready for a great cardfight as he took out his deck and placed it on a nearby bench, setting up for the game. The two flipped over their starting vanguards and called out "Stand up, Vanguard!"

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

The game had ended in a critical situation for Kurai. A trigger had been revealed that sealed his fate. He wonders who Haruki had made friends during his absence. He decided to put forward the question. "You made any new friends since I was gone?"

(Trait used in Fight:- Stand up, Avatar!)

[Kuro]

The game was intense to the very end, with both players at 5 damage. Haruki pulled a critical trigger in the final turn and managed to pull a victory over Kurai. They had a ton of fun in their fight, and they even congratulated each other on how they each improved when it finished. Afterwards, Kurai wanted to know about Haruki's friends.

"I have a whole bunch of great friends that I met by helping them out of problems and through fun cardfights too. It's really great how Vanguard can create bonds of friendship like that."

"Well, i've fought America's national champion before I left for Kyoto... what was her name again?" He was thinking of her name, he knew it began with N but it was a bit foggy. "Oh I remember, her name was Neu Edelwiess, she acted weird to me but she was a strong fighter. Asking question like if I liked Vanguard and said some harsh words to me. Although she did tell me alot about herself. But for some reason Amo..." He stopped mid-sentence, just before he was able to reveal Amon's existence he abruptly stopped and took a relaxing breath of air

[Kuro]

Haruki was surprised that Neu was the National Vanguard champ of America. He knew she must have been a good fighter from how she used legendary clans like Kagero and Shadow Paladin, but it was interesting to know that the girl was so great at the game. He thought about what else Neu could have told Kurai, but pushed the though aside to clear up the possible conflict his friend could have with her.

"Yeah, Neu likes to have fun in Vanguard. Don't take offense to weird things she might say though, it's usually meant to be for good fun." Haruki was confused by what Kurai when he cut himself off. "What about Amo?"

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai's plan to cut his sentence abruptly to deter Haruki from his unfinished thought. "Well... I can no longer hide the fact of the true no-longer." he spoke in a serious voice. His other eye turned crimson. Amon had taken control. "Kurai here doesn't know when to keep things quiet... AT LEAST its not Golden Boy he spilled the beans to, but we digress and it is instead... the Justice Kid. Here is your prize, don't stare al day you know."

Amon was slightly annoyed at Kurai for being unable to keep him a secret from people but was aright with Haruki finding out. "Listen...Kid Justice, I am Amon, the Alternate personality that Kurai has, remember that incident in Shop Handsome? That was me!. I'm the one that senses something odd with that Neu girl, she... for some reason makes me feel fear when i'm near her. Now any questions?"

[Kuro]

Kurai having an alternate personality didn't come as much as a shock to Haruki as he would have expected. After all, he had witnessed the sharp changes in his friend's personality a few times before. He was glad to finally know the reason behind it now.

"Hm, not really any questions. You probably had a justifiable reason to keep this secret. So you're Amon, like Demon World Marquis, Amon?" Haruki smiled at his cleverness.

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Amon gave him a blank stare. [Well, this kid's an idiot, but kinda smart.... I'll digress.] "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, let your imagination run wild." Amon reaches out, giving Haruki a piece of paper. "This is Kurai's phone number, use it wisely" With this Amon walked away, returning control to Kurai.

[+1 Affinity gained for Haruki]

[Kuro]

Haruki parted ways with Amon, feeling pretty good about having made a new friend from Kurai. Before Amon left, he gave Haruki his phone number for anything important. The young man of justice patrolled the residential area of Rijuku for some more time until he started to get hungry.

"Seems like the area is fine. I'll head out then." Haruki walked off to get something to eat after a long day of justice.

Kurai AF +1

[Hope]

Since preparations were seemingly taking longer than expected, Hana decided to go and take her dog for a walk. She was growing each and everyday it seems and Hana missed her while she gone with her mom abroad. There was a certain charm that the small Labrador had that gave Hana a warm feeling of comfort when looking at it. It was wagging its tail, its paws in rapid movement in order to make up for its lack of distance and in order to match Hana's steps. It was happily looking around, with its tongue sticking out as if waving and saying hello to the locals that were passing by. The dog was so cute that Hana was on the verge of tears because of how cute she was. Basically like how she reacts to idols. Very nice.
