Chapter 1: Alone

"Martha!" called a young girl. She had been staying with her foster mother since her original caretaker went to live with his friends in the City.

A woman with darker skin tone and black hair and wearing a maroon smock was talking to a young man. He had tan skin, an average looking physique, black hair with gold highlights, and royal blue eyes. The upper layer of his hair juts upward while the lower layer arches down. He wore a long-sleeved blue jacket with a high collar and amber gems, over a sleeveless black shirt with a red symbol, and wears gloves below his elbows with an amber gem on them. His lower body consisted of black jeans with amber knee pads, a belt with two deck holsters hidden under his jacket, and calf-high motorcycle boots. A jagged criminal mark sat on the left side of his face.

The woman, Martha, and the man turned to the girl, concerned. The woman asked, "Yes, Kokoro?"

"We need you outside right now! Akio found a girl passed out in the forest and we can't wake her up," she explained.

Both the woman and man ran out with the girl leading the way. When they reached the said girl, about five other orphans that Martha took care of were surrounding the scene. The girl couldn't be older than eight. She was pale and had black hair. Her clothing was a white dress and had no shoes whatsoever. Martha looked her over with the man.

"She doesn't seem injured," Martha commented. "Let's take her inside." She looked at the man. "Think you can carry her for me, Yusei?" He nodded and gently picked up the unconscious child. She seemed like she would weigh quite a lot more than she did in his arms.

They walked into the house and Martha directed him to the couch. The man, Yusei, set the child on the cushioned surface gently and Martha put a blanket over the girl to help her stay warm. Martha ordered the kids to leave them and especially the unconscious child alone until they knew more.

Yusei kneeled at the girl's side. He felt connected to her in some way for some reason. It confused him. Especially since the feeling was kind of unusual to him. He didn't know what to think about this child at the moment.

Yusei looked at the girl. Her facial expression was peaceful, but somewhat stressed as well. He brushed a bit of hair off her face gently and the girl gave a small grin of contentment in her sleep. He stood up and turned to Martha. "What do you think happened?"

"I don't know, Yusei," Martha answered sadly. "And I'm honestly not sure what to do with her once she wakes up. After Mr. Bashford moved in, that was the last bit of room I had. I wasn't expecting this at all."

Yusei sighed. He didn't want to force this on his housemates, but he didn't want anything to happen to this child. "I'll have to check with Jack and Crow first, but we might be able to take her in at our place until we find her family," he responded.

"That would be helpful," Martha responded.

That's when they heard excited greetings outside. Yusei commented, "I was supposed to be back an hour ago and I told Jack and Crow I would contact them when I finished up here. I guess they wanted to check up. Probably missed a couple calls while finding her happened." Martha nodded just as Jack and Crow walked in.

Jack had purple eyes, fair skin and spiked, blonde hair, with two much longer strands in front of his ears that hang further down the rest of his hair. His other accessories included a neckband, a belt buckle, and earrings in the shape of the letter A. He wore a long white trench coat lined with purple with spiked shoulders over a white plunging shirt, grey pants, and white boots.

And Crow had dark-grey eyes and brushy-spiked orange hair with a viridian headband embroidered with two rings at the right side. He wore his outfit from his days as a part of The Enforcers, an old duel gang he and the other two men were in, which consisted of blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt, and a sleeveless brown cargo vest. He also wore a pair of earrings in the shape of washers. While riding his Duel Runner, he wore a beak-shaped black helmet with plumes sticking from the sides, which included an orange eyeshield and decorated with a red gem. One unique thing about him were the criminal marks on his face. He has been marked at least twice; he only had the a "M" shaped mark on his forehead in his time with The Enforcers before he gained the dot and eye marks.

"We've called you like ten times, Yusei," Crow stated. "Don't you ever pick up?"

"I've been a bit busy," he replied.

"With that?" Jack asked.

"Her," Yusei replied and looked at the girl. They looked as well, obviously shocked. "I was getting ready to leave when Akio and Kokoro found her passed out in the forest. She hasn't woken up or budged at all."

Crow walked over. "Man, she's pale. It's like she's never seen sunlight," he commented.

"I know," Martha agreed. "And that also concerns me as to what happened to her. But we can't find any injuries."

They heard a small groan and turned as the girl looked around weakly. She looked at each of them, confused. She slowly sat up.

"Hey, I'm Martha, " Martha greeted gently. "A couple orphans I take care of found you unconscious in the forest." The girl looked at Martha. "What's your name?"

"N-Name… Name… My name… My name is… Yua? Yes, Yua's my name," she answered. The fact she wasn't sure of her name for a minute worried Yusei a bit.

"Yua, can you tell us what happened?" Martha asked. "Where is your family?"

She looked down. "I… I don't know." She shook her head. "I don't know anything."

That shocked and worried everyone. "You don't remember anything?" Crow asked.

"I… don't…" Yua responded.

"Yusei, Jack, Crow, I need you to take her in at your place for a bit. I've got no room here. And this'll only be until you find her parents, or at least until she's regained her memory to tell you where they are," Martha requested. "Please, I need this."

"We have Bruno right now, though," Crow commented.

"We do have that small spare room that we have only been using to store a couple boxes in. We can move the boxes and find a bed or something for her to sleep on," Yusei suggested. Jack nodded in agreement.

"Alright," Crow agreed. "You're right. And we can't leave her with no place to go."

Martha nodded, relief on her face. She turned to the young girl and said, "Yua, these are Yusei, Jack, and Crow. They'll be taking care of you for a bit."

"Yu-e, Jac, Crah," she repeated.

"I'm Yusei," he repeated kneeling to her eye level.

She looked down for a moment before repeating, "Yu-e." Yusei sighed. It was almost like she regressed into a baby when she lost her memories.

Jack repeated his name for her, "I'm Jack."

"Jac… Jack?" she repeated.

"That's right," he praised.

Crow repeated his name, "I'm Crow."

"Cr-ow… Crow?" she repeated with a nervous face. Crow smiled at her and ruffled her hair, making the child laugh.

Yusei decided to try again, "Try mine again: Yusei. Yu-sei."

Yua then looked back at him. "Yu-e."

Yusei sighed again in defeat. "Just call me whatever's easiest for you right now."

Yua looked down again in thought. After a minute, she said, "Daddy." Everyone froze for a moment, but Martha couldn't hide her grin. The young girl gave him a nervous but waiting face.

"Just go with it, Yusei," Martha told him. He looked at her. "This is probably because of how her memories are gone. She probably needs a good parental figure. And ask all the children here and they'll say you're a pretty good one. So for now, just take the role. She needs it."

Yusei sighed in defeat and looked back at the girl. "Alright, Yua," he agreed. "I'll be your father."

She smiled and hugged him, taking him by surprise. "Daddy…"

"I'll go get her some extra clothes," Martha stated before walking away.

"Yusei, are you sure about that choice?" Jack asked.

"Once her memories are back and she finds her real family, I don't think it'll be much of a problem. And I'll get used to it until then. You know I can adapt to situations quickly," he reasoned.

"And like Martha said, she needs a parental figure until she finds her real ones," Crow added. Yusei nodded.

They looked at Yua as she grabbed Yusei's hand. Martha soon came back and handed the clothes to Crow. With that in hand, they decided to head back, Yua riding behind Yusei. They drove into the main city, heading to their apartment.

As they did, Yusei asked the girl, "Any of these buildings seem familiar, Yua?" She shook her head.

"Maybe Leo and Luna will have seen her around Duel Academy," Crow suggested. Yusei nodded.
