Ma'at's Diamond: anything in italics is part of the story being told by either Yusei or Crow. I know some of this may make no sense, but I did the best I could. R&R&F please!

I am so sorry this took so long! I recently got obsessed with Zemyx stories from Kingdom Hearts instead of writing… and I have major writers block with this story. I have the next two chapters written so I'll be uploading them tonight or tomorrow, but then it will be, unfortunately on Hiatus. I'll concentrate on my Harry Potter ones I've started, and write and upload this when I get inspiration. I'm really sorry about this!

CHAPTER 2:

The car was speeding along the dirt road. The two children inside sat together looking in wonder at the people of the satellite.

'Where do you think we're going Yusei?' asked the little girl.

Her big brother looked at her and smiled.

'That doesn't matter. As long as we're together that's what counts.'

The two other people looked at each other in amusement. The car slowed to a stop outside a building, where a woman with black hair and two children about Yusei's age, one with blonde hair and the other with black, stood outside waiting. One of the adults got out, opened the door and pulled Yusei out.

The two children looked at each other in confusion.

'This is Yusei. He will be staying here with you Martha.' the man said, before turning and heading back to the car.

Yusei realized what was happening and started to run.

'Kiana, no!' he shouted.

The three figures outside the building looked at each other in confusion. Who was Kiana? The man was forcing Yusei back. They saw a figure inside the car try and get out.

'Big brother!' she yelled.

The three were stunned. Big brother? Martha realized what was happening.

'They're trying to split them up.' she said.

The two children looked at her.

'We have to help.' Martha said determinedly.

The two children next to her nodded.

'No.' Martha shouted at the man holding Yusei back. 'They are all they have. You can not split them up.'

The man shook his head.

'This one is staying here and the girl is coming with us to the other side of the satellite.' he said firmly.

Yusei was still trying to reach his sister, and she was fighting back against the hand keeping her in the car. Kiana suddenly got free, just as the car started to drive off. Yusei was running with it when Kiana jumped.

The woman in the car tried to grab her, but she missed. Kiana landed next to Yusei and they fell, rolling away from the car. Martha and the two children, called Jack and Crow, caught up with them.

They helped the two up, and showed them back to the orphanage. Kiana took an instant liking to Martha, but stayed by Yusei's side the whole time.

'We were only expecting one, but you two should stay together so we'll have two new members to add to the family.' Martha said briskly.

'This is Crow,' she pointed at the black hair kid, 'and this is Jack.' Martha said, pointing at the blonde kid and looking down on the two children who were looking around.

They seemed frightened, which was to be expected.

Yusei smiled nervously and said, 'Thank you. We thought we were staying together, but I guess we weren't.'

He looked down on Kiana and saw her cough. He also noticed her eyes were red, and she looked like she was burning up. Yusei was worried.

Kiana had always been sensitive, every year she caught a fever and a cold during the winter. He stopped and put a hand on her forehead.

Martha looked at them. 'Are you guys coming in? You'll catch a cold out here.'

Yusei looked worried.

'I think Kiana already has.' he said as Kiana coughed again. 'She always gets a fever and normally a cold this time of year.'

Kiana shook her head.

'I'm fine. Why are we here anyway?' she asked Yusei. 'Why aren't we with mum and dad back home?'

Yusei stiffened. The people from the orphanage looked at each other in confusion. Even the youngest here knew their parents were dead. Martha started to say something but Yusei beat her to it.

'They… had to go away for a bit, so we'll be staying here for a while, okay?'

Kiana nodded happily and moved on ahead to look at the building. Yusei let out the breath he was holding. The two children, Jack and Crow, Yusei remembered, looked at him in confusion.

'Kiana doesn't know about our parents and that's how it's going to stay, at least for a couple of years until she's old enough to understand.'

Martha nodded.

'How old are you two anyway?' she asked.

'I'm seven, and Kiana is five. I'm worried about her though. She does normally get ill, but never this bad.' Yusei said, watching coughs rack Kiana's body.

'We need to get her into the warmth.' Martha said. 'We only have things ready for one of you though, we don't have much and we weren't expecting two.'

Yusei smiled. 'Sorry. Use the stuff for Kiana, I'm fine.'

Martha looked at him and felt his forehead. 'You do seem fine, but…'

Yusei shook his head. 'I'm never ill. I'll be fine.'

Martha nodded.

'Okay then. Kiana;' she called, and watched as the girl turned and headed back to them.

When she reached them, she went straight to Yusei and grabbed his hand. Martha smiled.

'Let's go inside and get some warm food in you.'

Kiana looked up at Yusei who smiled and nodded, and Kiana and Martha headed into the house. Yusei stopped to watch them and smiled. He knew his sister would be fine with her.

'Do you want to go and meet the others?' the boy in blonde looked at him.

Jack, Yusei remembered.

'Or would you like to have a snowball fight, or build a snowman or something?' the other boy, Crow, he thought, asked.

Yusei smiled nervously. 'I don't mind. I would like to build a snowman. I've never built one before.'

The two other boys looked at him in surprise.

'You've never built a snowman?' asked Jack in amazement.

Yusei shook his head. 'No. I stayed inside practicing my dueling.'

Yusei shrugged. The two boys looked at him.

'You're a duelist?' they asked.

Yusei nodded nervously. Was this place some kind of no duels zone? Apparently that thought was wrong.

'This is so great! We've needed new duelist. Let's go tell Martha.' Crow said.

Jack nodded, and they led Yusei into the house to where Martha was forcing Kiana to eat some soup.

'No.' Kiana said. 'Don't want it.'

Yusei smiled and shook his head.

'Come on Kiana.' he said, entering the room.

Kiana looked at him joyfully.

'Be a good girl and eat it all up.'

Kiana shook her head.

'No.' she repeated, pouting her lip and sulking.

'Don't make me ignore you.' he threatened.

Panic flared in Kiana's eyes.

'No!' she cried, before turning and trying to eat the soup as quickly as possible so as not to upset her big brother.

Yusei smiled and laughed. 'It's the only way to get her to eat if she doesn't want to.'

'Why?' asked Martha.

'Our parents were never home much, so it was always just me and Kiana. Pretty much I've been the only one looking after her for almost two years. She's grown more… attached than most sisters.'

Jack and Crow came in. 'Martha! Guess what!'

Martha looked at them. 'What's so exciting?'

Jack and Crow were almost bouncing in excitement.

'The only time I see you get so excited is when you're dueling.'

Jack nodded. 'That's what it's about. Yusei's a duelist too!'

Martha looked at Yusei in surprise, who seemed embarrassed by this.

'Really?' she asked.

Yusei nodded and started to speak but was interrupted by Kiana.

'Of course! Yusei's the best duelist we know. He's never once been beaten!' Kiana was smiling as she spoke proudly of her brother.

'Do you still have your deck?' Kiana asked him.

'Of course. I never go anywhere without it.' Yusei said pulling out his deck from the inside of his coat.

'Can we look?' asked Jack. Yusei nodded and handed it over. For the next few moments there were oohh's and aahh's as Jack and Crow looked through Yusei's deck.

'We need to introduce you to the other children here, both of you.' Martha said.

Yusei nodded.

'Do you want me to show you around, or should I get all the children to come out here?'

Yusei smiled. 'I don't mind. Which would you rather little sis?' he asked.

'Whatever you want big brother.' Kiana answered smiling.

'You should stay in here and eat some more of that soup.' Yusei said firmly, noting that she had stopped.

Kiana grinned and started eating again.

'I have an idea.' said Crow thoughtfully. 'Martha could bring the others out here, and while she does that, Yusei and Jack could have a duel!'

Jack nodded. 'I could see if I finally have some competition, and we would see how good a duelist Yusei is.'

Yusei smiled and nodded.

'That would be fun. I haven't had a someone to duel against really since I started dueling except for Kiana, and lets face it, me and Kiana built our decks together so we know them inside out.'

10 minutes later:

'Next I summon Junk Synchron and activate his effect to summon Speed Warrior from my graveyard. Then I tune Junk Synchron with my Sonic Chick, Quillbolt Hedgehog and Speed Warrior to summon Stardust Dragon!'

The group that had gathered gasped. Never had they seen such a great monster. Jack looked up at it in wonder.

'I didn't see that card in you're deck.' he exclaimed.

Yusei smiled. 'No, you didn't. I don't leave him in my deck. He stays separate until I'm about to start dueling. You only have 1000 life points left. It's over!'

Stardust Dragon swooped down and destroyed Jack's monster. The crowd gasped and started cheering.

'Good job Jack. That was fun!' Yusei smiled.

Jack nodded. 'Looks like I have a challenge finally.'

They could have gone on for hours about each others decks, but Martha interrupted them.

'Is it ok if I introduce you now?' she asked.

Yusei nodded, suddenly looking nervous. Kiana came out to join them.

'Kiana.' Yusei said. 'You should be inside. Your cold will get worse if you stay out here.'

Kiana pouted. 'Not going back inside. I'm staying out here with you.'

Yusei shook his head. 'Don't you dare give me the puppy dog eyes.'

Kiana stood there staring up at him. Yusei sighed.

'Fine. You can stay out here for now, but when we go inside you will sit down and eat some more of that soup, ok?'

Kiana smiled and reached for Yusei's hand.

'Everyone,' Martha called. 'This is Yusei and Kiana, the newest members of our family.'

Yusei smiled nervously. 'Hi.' He whispered.

'Let's go inside. It's time for dinner.' Martha instructed.

The group of about ten started to head in. Yusei started to walk in, but Kiana pulled back.

Yusei stopped and looked at her.

'What's wrong little sis?' he asked, seeing her eyes well up with tears.

'I miss mum and dad. Can't we see them, or talk to them?'

Yusei sighed. 'I'm afraid not little one. They're very busy. Now come on. They weren't home much before. Is it because you're also homesick? All the other times we were at home.'

Kiana nodded, her chin quivering as she tried to hold back the tears. Yusei hugged her.

'Don't worry. It's better if we're here. You'll have people your age to talk to, and think about all the new places to explore. Look at it all. This place would make a great game of hide and seek.'

Kiana laughed. 'Yeah, and Martha's a great cook as well, even better than you!'

Yusei smiled. 'I'm not surprised about that. Now let's get you inside to the warm and get some more warm food down you.'

Kiana nodded and she headed inside, followed by Yusei. What they didn't realize was that Jack was watching from them. He saw Yusei sigh, stop and turn around. Jack could see the tears in his eyes as Yusei looked away.

Jack followed his gaze and realized it headed straight for the ocean surrounding them. He also realized that Yusei was looking at where he thought his home lay. Yusei shook away his tears angrily and went inside.

Jack followed him in but did not let on he had heard or seen Yusei and Kiana out there. Jack made a mental note to tell Martha about what he had heard, he knew she would want to know so she could help them get used to their new home. He headed in to the biggest room that was used as a dining room, to join the rest of the orphans in there.

Later that evening:

While the others were getting ready to sleep, (the people in the car had thrown Yusei and Kiana's bags out when Kiana jumped), Jack was heading towards Martha's room to tell her about what he heard.

Martha was quite concerned when she heard. It was usual for children to be upset when they came here, but they had never had anybody like these two before. They had never had someone like Yusei, trying to protect their little sister, or so… almost wise, like an old man in a child's body.

'This is going to be a new experience for everyone here.' Martha thought when Jack spoke to her, before sending Jack to help Crow with Yusei and Kiana.

Kiana had refused to sleep any further away than below Yusei, since usually boys and girls were separated, so they were having a bunk bed with Yusei on top and a sad Kiana on the bottom.

They had always had separate beds, but they pulled them close together so they slept next to each other, and it would have been hard on them if they weren't close together on their first night here.

Ma'at's Diamond: what do you think? I'll update soon, I promise.
