"Hey, guys, I'm home anyone here?" Saji half shouted seeing if anyone would reply.

"Hey!" crow shouted from inside the kitchen.

"Where are Yusei and the blonde idiot?" Saji asked Crow, somewhat laughing as he is getting used to being home with his friends again.

"They went out and got parts and presents, why do you ask?" crow said as he saw the bags, "oh, I see, you got presents for one of them? Huh."

"Yeah, I got Yusei some new tools and a new jacket, since his old one is getting to tattered, and I got Akiza a 'Black Rose Dragon' statue," Saji said as he showed Crow the gifts.

"Wow, that's an awesome Statue for Akiza, and nice tools for Yusei, he needs new ones. The ones he's using are about done for," he said after drinking some water.

"Yeah, I hope they like them, since I had to call Akiza and ask for suggestions for Yusei." Saji started laughing, "So do you know when Yusei and the idiot are coming back?"

"No, I don't, why do you ask?" he said in a confused tone

"Well, for one, so I know how much time I have to get these wrapped, and second so I can poke and make fun of Jack, since he doesn't like it since I need a good laugh anyway since what happened today made me feel really weird." Saji said with nervous tone thinking back to what happened when he was walking down the street.

"What do you mean? What happened?" Crow asked, wondering if Saji was alright.

"I mean I could have sworn I saw a ghost of Roman and it doesn't help that someone almost got me killed by shoving me into the street with a car coming towards me." Saji accidently yelled and scared Crow as Saji slowly calmed down, "and even though we didn't speak, I ran into Abby Lalooska and she seemed really relaxed, but she had a look on her face like Yusei does when he's scared."

"I'm sure it's nothing Saji, don't worry I'll call her later and see if something is the matter, if you want me to. Okay?" Crow said assuring Saji everything is ok.

"Okay, Crow, thanks, but don't tell her I saw her, since she doesn't know who I am. Now I'm going to wrap these presents and stay in my room for the rest of the night," Saji said in a relaxed yet still worried tone.

Crow's Point of View

"I hope Saji's alright," I thought to myself in a worried tone, "well, I guess I should call Abby tomorrow and see if everything is alright with her considering what Saji told me." I mumbled to myself.

I started to cook himself some ramen as Yusei and Jack walk through the door bickering at each other about the presents they bought for Foxen, Akiza, Leo, and Luna.

I stared at them clearing my throat to get their attention "MHM!" I said loudly getting their attention and asked, "So… how was the shopping?" I said in a halfhearted laugh.

"It was a mess 'cause of him!" Yusei and Jack exclaimed glaring at each other.

"Well then, I'm glad Saji just missed you guys walking in, but since you two are having problems with each other I'm going to see how Saji is doing, and also, Yusei, you might want to see your brother," I suggested as I walked to Saji's room letting him know his brother is home.

I walked back to the kitchen after seeing Saji, and finished cooking my ramen and sat on the couch eating it. "Hey Jack, I'm sorry for how I was acting at the store," Yusei apologized to Jack.

"Yeah, well, too bad, I'm going to my room so I can wrap these damn presents, and then I'm going out to the coffee shop," Jack says in an irritated tone storming off to his room.

"So Crow what do you mean I should go see my brother?" Yusei asked worryingly.

"Well, Yusei, you have to find out from Saji, since it's not really my business. Even though he told me a little bit." I mumbled the last part, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Alight, thanks, I'll go see him now then," Yusei said kind of worried while walking back to his brother's room.

Yusei's Point of View

I walked in to the hallway and onwards to Saji's room, when I got there, I knocked on his door. "Hey its Yusei can I come in?" I asked my brother.

"Yeah, sure, I guess," Saji says in a somewhat depressed tone, almost starting to cry.

"Hey, you, okay?" Yusei said concerned, "Crow said I should talk to you."

"Honestly, brother, I'm not okay. Today I was out shopping and I thought I saw a ghost of Roman and then someone pushed me onto the street in front a car coming towards me, but luckily Abby saved me and then left before I could say thanks. I'm just glad she didn't know it was me." Saji said in a worried tone starting to calm down as he said that Abby saved him as he started to think about her.

"Hey listen to me you probably were just imagining Roman, because you spent so long with him, but now he's gone and you're home. I'll always protect you, and do you know who pushed you?" Yusei said concerning thinking to himself hoping it was Foxen, as he shivered with bad memories from 'Torture, Truth, or Dare!'

"No, I don't, they got away before I could think about everything that happened… sorry." Saji said trying to think back to this afternoon. "Well if it's ok I'm going to try and get to sleep brother," Saji said yawning and falling asleep.

I nodded at my brother, but when I knew he was truly asleep, I grabbed his covers and put them to use and pulled them over his body, up to his neck. Then I went down the ladder, and I whispered; "Hey crow I'm going to sleep, I'll see ya in the morning."

The Next Day

No One's P.O.V.

"Morning everyone!" Yusei said in a happy cheerful mood, but to avail sees no one as he checks the rooms which are all empty. "Hm I wonder where everyone is." Yusei thought to himself as he pulls out his phone and calls Saji, Crow, and Jack.

"Hey where are you guys?" Yusei asks all three men full of curiosity.

"I'm with the twins Christmas shopping" Saji replied, "Your welcome to come with us since Akiza is meeting us here, so you two can be alone." Saji replied laughing making fun of their relationship, but in a good way as Yusei laughed.

"I'm with the Martha and the kids," Crow replied laughing at what Saji said to Yusei.

"I'm taking about to take a drive from the coffee shop," Jack said in an angry tone.

"Okay thanks guys. Saji what floor are you guys meeting on so I can meet you there on time?" Yusei said while smiling at the thought of Akiza

"Were meeting on the first floor by the card shop." Saji replied in a more happy tone today as Yusei noticed and said "I'll be there as soon as I can."

*30 minutes later*

"Hey, sorry I took so long traffic was bad." Yusei said laughingly as he walked up to them with Akiza in his arms.

"Sure, it was traffic." Saji said teasingly.

"Well, Leo there's a duel Arena, where people can duel for fun. We'll go there first, so you can practice while Luna and I go Christmas shopping." Saji said as they started walking up stairs and left Aliza with Yusei.

"Hey, wait Saji, I just want to say its good to see you smiling now, compared to last night." Yusei said as they walked away with Akiza looking at Yusei confused.

"So… what did you mean when you said 'Saji I just want to say it's good to see you smiling now compared to last night.' I'm a little confused." Akiza asked with curiosity.

"Well, you see, yesterday when Saji was out shopping he thought he saw a ghost of Roman and someone pushed him into the streets in front of a moving car." Yusei said kind of depressed now as he looked down at his feet.

"Oh my! Is Saji okay?" Akiza asked sounding worried.

"I'm guessing he is, if he's smiling now, but as for the car incident now guess who saved him." Yusei said laughing.

"Who?" Akiza asked curiously

"It was Abby, and I'm guessing by Saji's reaction he's getting a crush on her." Yusei said laughing still.

"Really? That's cute, but we won't know until she comes over to the twins' house later today when we're done shopping." Akiza said as they walk out of the card shop with a Machine Mayhem Structure deck for Leo and an 'Ancient Fairy Dragon' painting for Luna.

Luna's Point of View

"I wonder how Leo's doing at the duel ring. I hope he's not freaking out a lot.

"Luna, do you have any ideas on what to buy him for Christmas 'cause I don't." Saji reassured her and started laughing.

"Well, knowing Leo, like I do, we could buy him more morphtronic cards and get him a figurine of his 'Power Tool Dragon'." Luna said with a smile to me.

"Okay, yeah, sure, that sounds awesome and hey Luna, I'm sorry if I'm really quiet, but you do know why right?" Saji asked smiling back at her trying to push the memory from yesterday out of his head.

"I think so is it because with you being gone for so long that you barely know any of us very well except Crow and Jack?" Luna asked in a questionable answer.

"Yeah it is, for the most part, I just want you to know I'm sorry if I become too quiet." Saji said slowly peaking in a lower tone.

"Hey! Don't worry about it, its fine by me I completely understand." Luna said with a reassured smile.

"Thanks and hey if its coo…" Saji said as he got interrupted by Luna.

"HEY ABBY!" Luna said in a midway shout as she started running towards Abby and hugged her.
