A bus pulled up to the school, a simple occurrence that wouldn’t have been noteworthy at all had school not already started a while ago. The doors opened to let the students inside the bus off, but none stepped off.

"Hey boy, wake up!"

Saze slowly opened his eyes just enough to see who was yelling at him. Then he turned his head around to look at the other seats of the bus. "Where did everyone else go?" the boy mumbled still more than half asleep.

Something was off about this kid. "You were asleep when everyone else got off at the school," the driver explained, his exasperation showing in his words. “I had to drive all the way back to the school just to drop you off.”

"Oh, okay" Saze stood up and started to walk towards the door off the bus. Something thunked to the floor as he stood, [url= http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141114114152/yugioh/images/a/af/QliphortAssembler-SECE-JP-R.png]a metal box[/url] that was connected to the boy's clothes by a long chain. "Oh, I need that," the boy said softly as he picked up the box. And with that he pushed open the bus door and stepped off.

"Why do I get the feeling that that one's going to be a hassle?" the bus driver said with a sigh. He'd just stared up the bus to drive off again when someone knocked on the bus door. It was the boy. The driver opened the door and said, "Yes?"

"Which way is it to the school?" Saze stifled a yawn with the back of his hand, unintentionally adding a half dozen extra O's to the word school.

The driver pointed back down the road, where the front entrance of the school was not a hundred feet away and clearly visible.

"Oh, thank you," Saze mumbled as he walked away. The bus driver drove off before the boy could think of any other way to hold him up.

Saze walked down the road a ways with his eyes mostly shut. After walking a little while, he opened his eyes and turned his head to the side. The front gate of Leo Duel School was open before him. He turned and shuffled onto school grounds. Since he wasn't really paying attention to where he was going, the next time Saze really looked around to get his bearings he found himself in a completely empty hallway. He didn't know where he was, but he did see a vending machine a ways away, so he walked towards it.

There was candy and snacks in the machine! Saze hadn't been hungry a second ago, at least he didn't think he had been, but seeing all the yummy snacks so near he was suddenly starving. After a few fruitless grabs, his fingers eventually found the chain that led to his box. He unlocked the metal box with a key from around his neck. Inside the box there was two places to put decks, one of which held his deck and the other of which was just filled with cards he occasionally put into his deck, and a small slot to hold a plastic card. Saze pulled out the latter and used it to buy as many snacks as he could carry.

Saze was much more awake and alert walking down the halls while chewing on yummy sugary gummy worms.
