Bruno looked at this newcomer. He looked serious.  Bruno wasn’t sure if that remark was made solely for the other gang members or it that went for him too.  It didn’t matter, because at that moment the other gang members advanced upon the other boy.  Bruno watched with terror, too scared to move.

Yuusei’s eyes narrowed and he shot forward. His fist made hard contact with the leader’s jaw, and a swift kick to the gut followed. He moved with the speed and flexibility that he’d learned ensured your survival. This wasn’t an easy place to live, after all. 

He took his stance in front of Bruno with his eyes darting from person to person before him. “I have three other guys I can get out here with one call. Run. Run before I decided to show you more than just a crushing duel.”

Bruno was shaking with fear and relief.  He watched the beaten gang members flee with their tail between their legs. He gazed up at his savior, his mouth dry.

“T-Thank you…” he managed to say.

Yuusei finally turned to look down at the boy he’d saved. He scanned him once. His clothing didn’t remind him of any duel gangs. He hadn’t seen him before, which made him wonder if he was from the underground or the far outskirts of Satellite. 
He extended his hand to help him up.

“You’re lucky. Guys like that doesn’t care who they hurt these days.”
He offered a ghost of a smile.  

“Thank you. I-I owe you my life!” Bruno stammered, still shaking a little from shock.

“I was chasing a stray cat who’s tail was injured, and I guess I ventured into someone’s territory… I didn’t know…”

Yuusei cocked a brow. How did this guy not know about the dueling territories?
“Where are you from? I can take you as far as our territory goes, maybe beyond if it’s safe.” 

He took in the man’s appearance. He guessed they were around the same age, give or take a year.
“I’m Yuusei. Yuusei Fudo,” he said with a curt nod. He pulled a somewhat crumpled cigarette from his pocket and lit it. “We should hurry before it gets too light out.”
