Flashback

It was Judai's six birthday and she was hiding under a table with a pink table cloth over the table. She had her knees to her chest and her head was on her knees. She was wearing a light pink dress with whiter sandals. Her deck box was next to her. Her hair was brush neatly with a pink bow in it. "Judai, sweetheart, where are you?" Serenity called out, to Judai. Seto and Serenity was looking for her. Jonathan wasn't there at the time when this was going on. When Serenity turn for a second, Judai had ran from the bathroom that she and Serenity was in and ran under the table, hiding. There was a knock on the door and someone open it, "Hello everyone." Serenity said to the people as they walked in. Mai, Joey, a small Kayla, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan walked in. Kayla went running to Judai's room and to only to run down the stairs with a confuse face, "Where's Little Judai Aunt Serenity?" she said as she grab her hand, shaking it. Seto came walking in, "We are looking for her." he said as he stood next to Serenity. Kayla went running off to a random direction. One year had past since Judai was kidnapped from the three men who hurt her with a knife and a whip. She still had cuts, which was still healing and the one on her right arm.

"Found her!" Kayla yelled out from the dinning room and they all walked over to see Kayla getting under the table, "Hey Little Judai!" she yelled in joy at Judai. Judai scream and ran out from under the table, only to bump into Yugi. Judai got up and ran to the door that lead out the dinning room and lean to the side a little, hiding. "Judai, that's where you been hiding." Serenity said to her as she walked over to her. Judai back away from her and ran to the stairs, scare. Yugi walked over to her, kneel down to her eye level, and lend out his hand, "Hey Little Judai. It's me, Yugi." he said in a quiet voice, trying not to scare her. Judai looked at his hand and back at his eyes. She kept doing that till she grab his finger with her small hand and began to laugh. Yugi picked her up and place her on his shoulders, laughing with her, "Your some father Kaiba." Tristan said and Kayla slam her foot one his, "Don't talk about Uncle Seto like that." she said in an angry voice. Joey picked her up and Mai went to her, "Don't do that Kayla." she said. Tea was telling Tristan not to do that again. Yugi handed Judai to Serenity and Seto and she hugged them.

Judai was playing with the plush Winged Kuriboh Yugi gave her for her birthday and she loved it. She was hugging it while standing up. "Can I see?" Kayla asked her and she handed it to her. Kayla sat on the sofa, looking at it, "You know, maybe you will have the card Winged Kuriboh in your deck one day." she said smiling to Judai. Judai was looking at her deck, stop, and looked at Kayla with a smile on her face. She put her deck back in her deck box and ran up the stairs to her room. Kayla looked at the stairs that Judai ran up. Kayla went back to playing with the Winged Kuriboh. She was playing with the left wing until she heard a rip from it. She looked at it and began to panic. She hid the plush behind the curtains and walked to Joey, who was talking to everyone about some duels. She climb into a empty chair and began to looking through her deck, "Where's Little Judai?" Tea asked Kayla and turn her head to the stairs, "I think she ran to her room.

Kayla felt a tug on her shirt and she looked at Judai, who was almost in tears, "Where is Winged Kuriboh?" she said to Kayla. "On the sofa. It should be in your seat." she said to her and she ran back to the living room. Judai tug on Kayla shirt again, "Not there." she said to her. Kayla sigh and got off the chair she was sitting in, "What's wrong you two?" Yugi asked the two as they made their way to the living room, "Judai can't find Winged Kuriboh. Yugi went to help looked with them. "Want us to help, Yugi?" Joey asked him and Yugi shock his head, "Might not take long." he said and went into the living room, to see Judai crying and Kayla holding Winged Kuriboh in one hand and the rip wing in her other hand. Yugi went to Judai and she ran to the stairs as her crying began to stop. Yugi looked Kayla, "Did you rip the wing off?" he asked looking at her in the eye and Kayla looked down, "I didn't mean to." she said and the heard a loud 'Slam' from a door.

Everyone came running in the living room, "What was that slam?" Seto asked in his cold tone, "It was Judai running to her room." Yugi said as Kayla handed Winged Kuriboh to him. "What happen?" Mai asked as Joey became eye level with Kayla, "I tore Winged Kuriboh wing off." she said in a quiet voice to them. Yugi handed the plush toy to Serenity and Tea and they walked off to sew it. Seto and Yugi went to Judai's room to get her out. Mai and Joey was talking to Kayla about not telling what you done was bad.

It began to rain. Thunder was heard as Seto knock on Judai's door, "Judai, unlock the door. Let us in." Seto said as they waited, but didn't hear anything. Seto took out a key and unlock the door and both went in. the lights were off and the window curtains was open to show it was raining hard outside. The room was painted red with a child's bed in a corner. The covers were red and black same with the pillows. A desk was on the other side of the room with a black desk chair with it. Near the bed was a night stand with a lamp. Yugi walked over to the lamp and turn it on. The closet was near the desk which was open a little. They heard soft cries from the closest and walked to it. Seto open the door to find Judai, with her knees to her chest, eyes close, and was coving her ears when a loud thunder was heard. Judai close her eyes tighter and hum quietly, not noticing Yugi or Seto. They became eye level with her and Seto place a hand on her cheek, causing her to jump a little, looked at them, closing her eyes again when thunder was heard again. She jump into Seto's arms and started to cry. "She hates thunder?" Yugi mouth to him and Seto nodded, "She hates thunder." he mouth to Yugi and stood up, with Judai in his arms and made his way out the room with Yugi behind him.

They walked into the living room to see Serenity was holding Winged Kuriboh in her hands and the wing sew back. Judai had her head on Seto's shoulder. "Judai." Seto said to Judai and she looked at him, her face and eyes red from crying. "Here you go. All fix." Serenity said as she handed the plush to Judai and she took it. Seto put her down and she sat on the recliner that was near her, looked at it, and hugged it, "Thank you mommy!" she said in a happy voice and lean back in the chair and fell asleep, with Winged Kuriboh in her hands. Everyone smile at that.

Judai stayed liked that for an hour, when she woke up from the thunder sound. She ran under the table she was under earlier, with everyone was sitting in chairs around the table. She had her knees to her chest, Winged Kuriboh next to her, and she had her hands over her ears, blocking or trying to block out the sound of the thunder. She was humming, trying to stop her crying. Yugi grab her and Winged Kuriboh and place her on Seto's lap. She hid her face from everyone and cry. She still had her hands over her ears and eyes close, with tears coming down her cheeks. "Judai, it's alright. Your safe from it." Seto whisper in her ears and she shook her head, "It's still there." she cried. Serenity too her and started to hum to her, making her stop crying.

Judai had her hands covering her ears and eyes close. Everyone was trying to calm her down, only to run away to the door frame and lean to the side a bit to look at them, red eyes and face. Kayla had said something and Judai ran, "Kayla, that wasn't nice." Mai said to her, "Sorry mom." she said as she looked down at her hands. Judai was scare of them and wanted Jonathan. They were trying to break her shyness and her being scare and what they were doing, was no help at all for her. She had the Winged Kuriboh in her left hand and held it to her chest, fear in her eyes. Serenity walked to her and Judai ran upstairs to her room, "I wanted her to have a good birthday. It'll be hard to break her out of this." Serenity said with a sigh, "Don't worry, she'll break out of it." Yugi said as he drank his coffee. "How?" Tristan asked him. "She'll need a card to help her fight later when she is older. She'll have friends to help her, even if she doesn't see it." he said and drank his coffee again.
