NOTE: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, I just own my OC and all that jazz.

So, this is the sequel to That Stabbing Feeling, and if you haven't read it yet, then I don't know what the heck you're doing here when you could be reading it. Or else nothing here will make sense. For those who have read said story, welcome back! I severely apologize for the wait though; I hit some writer's block. However, I want to give a HUGE thank you to FutureStar27 for helping me out with this, if it wasn't for her, I'd probably still be stuck. So, thank you! Anyhoo, I'm not going to keep you any longer, so here's the first chapter!

Sakura stared down at the pavement in silence. The streets were less crowded than usual and the cars that normally lined the streets were no longer there, but it was not bothersome to her. It was actually preferred. Perhaps just due to her quiet nature. She smiled to herself as she thought on how Seto would've reacted to the empty streets. She knew how much he hated people. Sakura was distracted from her thoughts when she felt her phone vibrate from her pocket. She grabbed it and looked to the Caller ID. Incoming Call: Home.

"Hello?" she asked putting the phone to her ear.

"Sakura?" her mother's voice came through.

"Yeah? What is it, Mom?"

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure you were coming home. It's getting late."

"Yeah, I'm walking back right now."

"Okay Sweetie, I'll see you then."

"Bye."

Sakura placed her phone back into her pants pocket and continued walking. It was not yet sunset, but that time would be nearing soon. The sky was still lit up and cascaded blue, although it would soon transition to orange. The breeze began to pick up and whipped her face before searching for the next person to hit. It is getting a bit late. I guess I did stay a little late at Seto's today, she thought to herself.

The pair had been dating for over one and a half years now and was slowly closing in on two. They were happy with where they were at right now and felt that their past struggles were worth reconciling over. Sakura reached to her neck and readjusted the silver chain around it that Seto had given her a matter of months ago. The metal was now cooler because of the sudden wind.

Sakura turned a corner and noticed there were a few more people in that area of town. Not a whole lot of people, but just a few. Enough to create some sort of chatter in the area instead of only hearing the wind pass by. The cars passing by were also more frequent. Sakura sped up her walking so she'd be able to cross before the street light turned green again. She managed to get to the crosswalk when the sign saying it was safe to walk was still lit. She calmly crossed the street in silence as she had been walking previously. However, she looked up upon hearing something. It sounded like the screeching of a tire. Her gaze flashed upwards to see a car which was moving at an increasingly high speed. It was coming down the street she was crossing. Oh no…

Time seemed to be standing still. It was as if everything ceased moving just so that one moment could take place. Sakura felt immobilized. But somehow, she found the ability to move. Running was her only option at this point. Her heart seemed to be throbbing with each step she took, although she wasn't sure if it was actually still beating or just shaking. Her feet then collapsed from under her. She had tripped.

Sakura crashed onto the pavement on her hands and knees. She was on the sidewalk. She was out of the way. Her entire body was trembling. She felt numb. She glanced over back to the street to see the car swerve into a tree beside the road. The driver immediately got out of his car with anxiety written all over his expression. Sakura looked back to the pavement below her.

It all just felt like a big reminder. She felt the same anxiety now as she did in the past. What with her experiences with shot wounds and kidnappings. Bu-but why is this just affecting me now? Her most recent memory of those experiences came back into her mind.

Then, she was in the grasp of a brutal former business partner of Seto with a gun pressed to her temple. Her wrists were in front of her, tightly fastened by ropes. "Which one of you will die first?" Kurosawa had asked her and Seto with the gun in his hand moving between the two teenagers. The fear she felt then was exactly the same as what she felt now.

Sakura shook her head to try and rid her mind of such memories. She hated them. She blinked continuously to get the swirling images from invading her mind. Yet, they would not move. Even if they had happened nearly two years before, it felt like she was back in that time.

The images of Hirotani came next. He and his other gang members had surrounded her in her own home. Another gun was pointed straight at her with smug faces staring at her. She had pleaded with them not to kill her, but yet, the bullet still hit her. There was so much blood. She remembered Hirotani smirking at her, "Fear suits any good victim." He said.

No! Get out of my head! I'm not a victim anymore! Tears leaked from her eyes and ran down her cheeks. They dripped onto the top of her hands as she sobbed. Her hands then went to the sides of her head, clutching her skull tightly. Get out! Get out! I don't want to think about this!

Sakura looked up in fear to see people staring at her. Some of their mouths were moving, supposedly towards her. She wasn't quite sure, but perhaps they were asking if she was alright. Everything was deafening though. She could barely see at this point. However, some people stood out to her. Most of them looked like her predators. Their faces smirking watching her suffer. She blinked rapidly in hopes of getting rid of the hallucinations. Although, something told her they weren't just visions, even though the logical side of her knew they were.

She was certain though that she had screamed. She continued to clutch her head in hopes of ridding her mind of the chaos. But, they would not leave her. A small crowd of people were now around her, a couple of them phoning for an ambulance. I'm going to throw up. Just get them out of my head…

Everything turned black.

X.X.X

Sakura opened her eyes slowly. She did not recognize this setting. Her eyes were met with a white ceiling matched with white walls. It must've been a hospital; that was the only explanation she could come up with. She stared to her arms to find her hooked up to a couple monitors, but no IV's or needles. My head hurts. I wish I was home.

She looked up to see someone sitting in a chair beside her. He was a tall brunet looking to the wall with his cold, blue eyes. His arms were crossed tightly in front of his chest. He was staring at the wall as if he despised it, but also seemed like he was have some sort of staring contest with it.

"S-Seto..?" Sakura questioned quietly.

Seto's eyes quickly darted back to her with relief flooding over his blue orbs. "Sakura, are you alright?" he asked.

"What are you doing here?" she asked completely ignoring his question.

Seto stared at her. "You expect me to just sit around, while you're unconscious in a hospital? I thought you knew me better." A light smile crossed Sakura's face. "Now, answer my question; are you alright?"

"My head hurts." She mumbled.

"The doctors should come in soon. They'll give you something."

Sakura nodded. She reached her arms over and placed her hand on top of his. He held her hand firmly in his. Just his touch made her relax. "Are my parents here?" she asked.

"They're on their way." He responded.

She nodded again and looked back to him.

"What happened to you?" Seto's face no longer showed concern, but was filled with all seriousness.

Sakura thought for a moment. It all just seemed like a blur now, even though everything felt so real and alive at the time. It was madness. Her memory began to return to her as she recalled the instance with the car. How everything about it just caused so much pain within her. She couldn't describe it.

"I don't know."
