The Fate That Binds The Will(Yu-Gi-Oh! AU Story)

Chapter 22

*XYZ Kingdom, main hallway*

Yuto was dressed and ready to leave the castle. Ruri wanted to introduce him to her family. In his mind, this wasn't a bad idea. She had told him a bit about her parents, sister and brother. To be honest, he was a little nervous. His train of thoughts was broken by an argument.

Yuto: Hm?

He turned around the corner, only to see Ryoga and Vector yelling at each other.

Yuto: "These two can't get along at all, can they?"

Ryoga: Where have you been?

Vector: None of your bussiness.

Ryoga: Maybe it's not, but I saw you sneaking out. What are you planning?

Vector: Why everytime I do something, it is seen as a suspicious act?

Ryoga: A rhetorical question.

Vector: You don't believe that I have no ill intentions?

Ryoga: I don't trust you one bit. Yuma can, but I don't.

The prince had a feeling that this argument was going to turn into a huge fight, so he decided to step in.

Yuto: Ahem.

Ryoga: Prince!

Vector: Were you disturbed?

Yuto: I would recommend to strengthen your relationship. It's not going to be any better if you keep fighting.

Vector: See? You have to listen to the prince more, mr. Blacksmith.

Ryoga: One more word.

Vector chuckled and left. Ryoga gave an angry sigh.

Yuto: Sorry if it bothers you, but what's the deal with you and him?

Ryoga: Don't stay too close to him, prince Yuto. He's... not who he makes himself to be.

Yuto: Hope it's just a gut feeling of yours.

While Yuto was leaving, Ryoga noticed he was well dressed.

Ryoga: I see, you are going to visit your soulmate.

That made the prince stop in his tracks and blush.

Yuto: Is something wrong with that?

Ryoga: You've got to enjoy it while it lasts. Don't upset her.

Yuto: Sure.

...

Kotori: You are worrying too much.

Shun: I don't care if her soulmate is a normal person or the prince. Whoever it is, I have to know what kind of person they are.

Kotori: Prince Yuto is a nice guy. You'll see.

Ruri got out of her room and headed downstairs. When she saw her older siblings, she was a bit confused.

Ruri: Nii-san? Kotori nee-san? Why are you both tense?

Kotori: Nothing big.

Shun: You seem to go out a bit too much with a stranger.

Kotori: Shun! Shh!

The purple haired girl puffed her cheeks.

Ruri: He isn't a stranger.

He raised an eyebrow at her statement. A light knock was heard.

Kotori: He's here!

The door was opened, revealing to be the prince.

Yuto: Hello.
