Aki and the others had all headed home after a long of crying and looking at where the Arc Cradle was.

Jack and Crow had agreed to take Lea and Luna back to their apartment, so that Aki and Sherry could go home. Aki and Sherry hadn't looked at each other since Yusei's death. Aki was also the only one who didn't say goodbye to Sherry or Mizoguchi when they left.

She had started to walk when it began raining, so she quickly ran the rest of the way to her house.

People had already started to return to Neo Domino City and by the time she got home her mum and dad were already in the house waiting anxiously for her to return.

"Oh Aki are you okay?" Her mother asked worriedly while running over to her to see for herself if Aki was okay.

"I'm fine mum," Aki replied with a small fake smile, "I'm a little hungry though."

"Well you would be after fighting to save the city. Why don't you sit down and put the tele on and I'll get us all something to eat, then you can tell is all about your victory." Her dad said interrupting the conversation between Aki and her mum.

Aki nodded as she and her mum turned and walked in to the lounge, Sat down and turned on the TV. Aki sighed this was going to be a hard story to explain.

Sherry was currently sat at a table in a small café. Mizoguchi had insisted that they sit down and get something to eat before they went any further on their journey considering the fact that Sherry hadn't eaten since she 'went missing' and ended up on the Arc Cradle.

She sat there with her head down looking at her hands as if she had murdered someone, but that was exactly what it felt like.

It was as if she had blood all over her hands, Yusei's blood. It was all she could think of, as if she had actually killed him, because if she had just made sure Yusei didn't come or when she saw him and they all got together again she should have forced him to go back not stand there like she'd lost her voice.

Mizoguchi came back over to the table with food and they started to eat it as quickly as possible, so that they could leave, but Sherry didn't plan on just eating.

"Do you think I'm responsible?" She asked quietly. Mizoguchi looked up at her shocked. Sherry was shaking slightly as she met the gaze of her guardian. "Do you think I'm responsible for his death?" She asked again.

"No. No I don't think that you are responsible, "Mizoguchi told her equally as quietly, "Why would you think that?"

"Because I knew that he would die if he came to the Arc Cradle, but I still didn't stop him. Then when we all met up before we faced Z-one I thought that he wouldn't die and that everything would be okay, that he was going to live, but I was wrong."

"Sherry, I don't think that any of the others blame you for what happened earlier."

"They may not, but I do," Sherry paused while she looked down at her hands again, before standing abruptly and banging her hands on the table. "It's my entire fault, I killed him!" She shouted before running out of the café's door as quickly as she could.

Everyone was looking at the table curiously. Mizoguchi stood up and apologized for any trouble they caused before running after Sherry. He realised now that Sherry may need more help to get over this than she was letting on.

Crow sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV. He still couldn't get over the fact that Yusei, his best childhood friend, was now dead. He just couldn't believe it.

He and Jack had just dropped the twins home since they were still quite upset. Jack, for once seemed to act like he cared, offering the twins the option of him and Jack staying with them tonight.

But Luna had shaken her head and said thank you for the offer and Leo just said that they would be fine and that he would take care of Luna and himself.

It was that statement that worried Crow. When Leo said that he would take care of something, whatever that something was it usually didn't turn out well. Although even Crow had to admit that Leo had gotten better, especially in that duel back at the Arc Cradle.

Jack had told him all about it on their way back from the twin's apartment at the tops. Leo had got his mark of the dragon in that duel, trying to protect Luna and that was exactly what he had achieved with Life Stream Dragon.

Maybe, no it wasn't possible Crow knew that, but he couldn't give up on the fact that when Yusei had faced Roman before, he'd come back from the light of the momentum. But that couldn't happen with death.

So Crow would just have to accept that Yusei was dead.

Jack wished that the twin's would have let them stay. He didn't want to leave them on their own after what had just happened. Yusei was like a brother to them and to Jack as well.

The state Leo and Luna were in when the Arc Cradle disappeared was enough to make Jack worry about them. He never showed it, but he worried about Leo and Luna very much when they were on there all on their own.

Jack lay on his bed with his head buried in his pillow to hide the fact that he, the great King Jack Atlas, had been crying for the first time in years.

He couldn't avoid the fact though that there were so many things that he could never say to the person he wanted to say them to.

He waited too long and in doing do lost his chance.

"So Aki, what happened?" Her dad asked as he sat down with his cup of tea.

"Aki looked down at her feet, they seemed very interesting at the moment. She wanted to try to avoid this conversation.

"Yusei beat Z-one and now everyone's safe and we can all live in Neo Domino City again." Aki said speaking as quickly as she could.

"Crow told us that Team 5DS are holding a party in honour of their victory, so I suppose you'll see Yusei there?" Her mum asked.

"No." Aki mumbled.

"Oh. When will you see Yusei then?" Her dad asked. Both of her parents were slightly confused.

"Never."

"What!" Both of her parents asked at the same time looking curiously at Aki.

"No one will ever see him again."

"How's that?" Her dad asked.

"H…h…he d…di….died." Aki replied stuttering on every letter of the cursed words she had just spoken, but she knew that she would have to get used to them.

The thunder crashed and the lightning flashed outside the window of Leo's bedroom. The young boy lay in his bed with the thick, warm covers pulled tightly around him.

Another streak of lightning flashed and there was another loud bang of thunder. Leo shot up from his bed panting, beads of sweat trickling slowly down from his forehead.

He slowly took in his surroundings. His own room, there's was no need for him to panic. He was safe.

At least the he in this room was.

Slowly he got up, pushing the covers back and carefully stepping out on to the floor. He grabbed his torch from the side desk, turned it on and walked out of the room.

He walked silently but quickly to the room just across the hall. Carefully opening the door to try not to disturb his sister. Once the door was open by a crack, he knocked and was shocked to hear his sister's voice.

"Come in Leo." Came Luna's soft and quiet reply.

"I…I di….didn't e…expec….expect you to b..b…be awa…awake." Leo said through chattering teeth as he shivered from the cold.

"Nor did I expect you to be awake Leo," Luna said back before noticing her brothers shivering. She smiled slightly as she pulled back the covers and placed her hand on the huge empty space next to her, "Leo come and lay with me and you'll be warmer." She told him, not asked.

Leo walked quickly over to Luna's bed and climbed in while Luna pulled the covers back over them. "Thanks Luna, I was cold standing in the doorway before."

"You're very welcome Leo." Luna said lowering her head. There was a sudden loud crash, making Luna jump and wrap her arms around her brother in panic, while the flashes of lightning continued.

"It's o…okay Luna," Leo said stuttering on his words a bit, since he was scared, but he had to be strong for Luna, "It's only a thunder and lightning storm, it will pass over soon."

"It be…bett…better I..I d…don't l..like it." Luna said. Her body shook in Leo's hold. Luna had never liked thunder and lightning.

"Leo."

"Yes Luna."

"Why were you awake?" Luna asked looking up at her brother.

"I could ask you the same." Leo replied while keeping hold of Luna.

"I…I h..had a bad dr..dream." Luna said, her voice beginning to shake again.

"Wh..what was it about?" Leo asked trying to keep a grip on reality, when it was a bad dream that had woken him up as well.

"I…it w..was ab..about a drag..dragon." Luna replied as she began to cry on to her brother's chest.

"Well what did this dragon look like?" Leo asked wondering if it was the same dragon he'd seen, "I mean had we seen it before?"

"One of them I recongised, but not the other."

"There were two of them, but I only saw one and it was glowing to brightly for me to see what it looked like or who's it could be or what it was called."

"Leo I don't exactly know how to put this, but one of them was glowing in the colours of the rainbow and then the other one w..wa..was," Luna stopped the end of her sentence not able to finish it.

But Leo needed to know what it looked like, Luna was so close to saying it's name, so he just had to get her to say it.

"Luna what was it? What was the dragon's name." Leo asked.

"I…it w…wa..was St..Stardust Dragon."
