Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Verse Info For Akatsuki.

(Note: This verse is written in the context of the events of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga by Kazuki Takahashi, and do connect directly to the canon of my Mokuba, and the DM verses for Gao, Tasuku, and Suzuha specifically. However, it can be easily adapted or written to not include connections to Mokuba or my other muses and or adapted to fit the Anime's story. In addition, the inclusion of this character in the storyline of my Mokuba does not have to be present in any interactions had with Mokuba either. This are meant to be a basis/starting point for interactions not a end-all be-all. I am flexible and this can all be discussed at the individual level.)

Story Description

Akatasuki is the youngest son of Police Commissioner Kisaragi of Cho-Tokyo's police force and the younger brother to Zanya Kisaragi, a prodigy of Kendo and Buddyfighting. Ever since he was young, he's looked up to his brother and admired him and his skills. As such, he's dedicated himself to being his brother's number one supporter, including being his practice partner / tuner for Buddyfight, kendo, swordplay, and for learning ninja arts. Though, compared to 'Big Z', his skills in these areas are rather lacking (he is the most NON-SNEAKY ninja ever LOL). He also is not the best student in school, but he tries his best in all areas so he can be 'useful' to his brother and even goes out of his way to look out for him and his best interests. He does not, however, share his brother's 'uncomfortableness' / phobia of girls.

Both he and his brother attend school in the nearby city of Domino, for their father thought it be best for them to attend school in a city they would not be treated differently for being the Commissioner's children. Akatsuki does NOT attend Aibo Academy like his older brother, however. He attends Domino Elementary, the same school as Mokuba Kaiba. Though, he is in the grade below the young Kaiba.

Akatsuki and Mokuba, while not being classmates, do often run into each other on and off campus. However, their relationship had...a rocky start. Prior to the events of Death-T, Akatsuki was bullied by Mokuba and his gang of little thugs, often being the victim of various pranks and was made fun of constantly (usually over his ninja arts or his lack of skill in games). He was usually the person Mokuba would beat in Capsule Monsters Chess for fun as well.

As a result of this, Akatsuki hated going to school. He would meet his brother, who picks him up after school, either in tears and or covered in the aftermath of whatever prank he was subjected to. It got so bad to the point he started faking sick just to not go.

However, following the events of Death-T, things changed. Mokuba, feeling remorse for his past actions and wanting to go back to his true nature, approached Akatsuki one day and apologized for his actions. He explained the complexities of his situation to the young ninja (as best he could without getting too personal), and upon hearing he was acting this way to get his brother's attention / approval, Akatsuki immediately emphasized with the young Kaiba, realizing that if the situation was different, he could have ended up like him. And so, he gave Mokuba another chance, despite his father and brother telling him he shouldn't, and the two young boys had been great friends ever since. However, Akatsuki is intimidated by Mokuba's older brother, not only due to just the kind of person Seto is but also from what private info Mokuba has shared about his brother from his past. This would change slowly over time, I imagine.

Mokuba did all he could to make it up to Akatsuki, including inviting him over for sleepovers, helping him with homework, and even being his teacher in learning both Capsule Monsters better and taught him Duel Monsters. In return, Akatsuki teaches Mokuba the ways of the ninja and kendo as best he could, mainly focusing on stealth tactics. The two are usually the person the other can vent to about their older brothers, in addition to the person they talk to when they just wanna fanboy over how amazing their big brothers are. Akatsuki, with Zanya in toe, sometimes also walks Mokuba home.

When it is time to enter high school, Akatsuki and Mokuba switch to Aibo Academy. By this point, Akatsuki has met his buddy, Nanomachine Ninja Byakuya, and has become a strong Buddyfighter, ninja, and kendo master in his own right. He and Mokuba continue to be close throughout the years, often being called 'partners in crime'. Akatsuki, his Buddy, and or his brother and his buddy Tsukikage will also serve as bodyguards for Mokuba for some professional events. I can see Akatasuki even pursuing a position similar to Isano but for Mokuba, being Mokuba's right-hand man but also his bodyguard (or even becoming head of security).
