MasakiSora-chan: I just remembered there is something I should say. Maybe you wondered (or not) why Sara got into Duel Acadamy at the age of 14 and not earlier. Well, since her father was kidnapped when she was only six and they got KaibaCorp. stolen, her mother trained her so she could later claim back their company and would be able to manage it later (she must be at least 17 and there is another condition I'm not mentioning right now).

Joey: How did rich boy get kidnapped anyway?

MasakiSora-chan: Let's go back to Duel Academy, shall we?

Joey: Hey, I asked a question there!

The Reborn of Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Old enemies and new friends

A few days later Sara discovered Aki sitting alone under a huge tree.

Chris, who followed her eyes, then said: "You're interested in her powers, aren't you?"

"No, not really." Sara answered.

"Then why are you staring at her? You've been looking for her ever since that duel three days ago. So what do you want with her?"

"These powers of hers, she can't control them."

"So what? How is that any of your concern?"

"I know a way to help her. I want to show her how she is able to make good use of those psychic powers."

"Why? I mean, how do you know how to help her anyway?"

"I have a similar strength as her. I'm not a psychic duelist though." Sara stated a-matter-of-factly.

"Wait a sec. If you had such powers, then wouldn't we have felt it? And why wouldn't you tell me?"

"Normally I would have, but I'm able to surpress my powers, that's why nobody knows and no one has to know. Well, I am not sure if she will ever be able to surpress them like me, but she should be strong enough to control them." Sara explained her friend.

Chris just looked at her in disbelieve.

"Are you really sure?"

"I'm deadly sure." Sara answered and went to Aki. The girl looked up.

"What do you want with me?" She asked in an icy tone.

"I just wanted to talk a little. Is that ok with you?"

"Do what you want." Aki answered coldly and looked away.

Nevertheless Sara stepped nearer. "Thanks." She said to the younger girl, who was one year below her.

Aki looked still very sullen and didn't say anything.

"You have an interesting ability." Sara stated into the silence.

Aki's eyes widenend and as Sara had expected rose petals flew towards her. But instantly a circle of light appeared in front of her and blocked Aki's attack.

Of course the two girls had recognized that Sara had used her 'Negate Attack' trap card to do so and Aki seemed more than surprised.

"How did you do that?" she asked terrified.

"I can do the same as you but it seems that my family was more understanding than yours. In fact, this ability isn't that unnatural. Outside this school, there are much other people who are the same as you and this is nearly common in my family, so I learned to control my powers. I thought you might want help with it too."

Well, not that she had psychics in her family tree but her parents and uncle had had enough shadow games to know how to deal with it. Not to mention that her mother had the spirit of Blue-Eyes White Dragon inside her, just like her ancient counterpart Kisara.

Firstly Aki was just angry and immediately stood up, walking away with her head held high.

As she went away Chris said: "That wasn't working as you wanted, was it?"

"In fact it was. It happened just as I wanted it to."

Now Chris looked at her with a questioned face but soon she knew what Sara was talking about.

Aki came back to them and asked if Sara could help her. Chris didn't want to believe it, but from that moment on, Aki, Sara, Chris and Sakura were always together and even became somewhat friends.

But as nice as it was, this school life wasn't meant to last long.

Only a one year later Saras mother had to talk with her about a very unpleasant matter. It seemed that Rex Goodwin got the control over Duel Academy and was now searching for Sara.

"You know, that when he gets his hands on you, everything will be over." Catherine told her.

"I know that. So what are you suggesting?" Sara asked her.

"I think it would be better when we could all disappear for a while. Especially you. Together with Cloe we will be waiting for our chance from the shadows."

"Where are we going?" Sara wanted to know.

In Catherine's opinion her voice was too calm but then again she was the exact image of her father.

"Maybe we move into the Satellite. Cloe knows it inside out since she stayed in Satellite and Goodwill won't find us easily there."

Sara sighed. "That's not good, especially now that Aki was opening her closed heart to us." She turned her face towards her mother, her expression was sad. "When are we going?"

"As soon as possible." was the short answer.

Sara nodded but her expression didn't change and Cathrine felt sad for her daughter.

Sara had told her about this Aki girl and it seemed that they had become friends. Although Sara had very much fun to help Aki with her powers the girl was not ready to face the fact that Sara had to go. Catherine wasn't sure of Akis reaction and she had to admit, that she had a very bad feeling about the psychic duelist.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning Sara didn't speak much in school but when her friends asked her about it, she didn't answer. She had agreed with her mother to not even letting her best friends know where she was fleeing to. But inside her she was really batteling.

She was sure her father would call them weak that they were trying to escape. So she told herself over and over that it was no fleeing forever, they were only going for a period of time until they were able to get their old life back, hopefully also with her father and uncle.

In the lunchbreak Aki joined them again. She instantly recognized that Sara was in a bad mood but a good thing she knew not to talk with her about it. In her mind Sara said goodbye to the school which was meant to be hers in the future, hopefully that would nevertheless happen.

After the last period Sara was again with her friends. "Sorry guys, I slept not well last night, so I wasn't myself today."

"Don't make a fuss about it. You'll be your usual self tomorrow, so don't worry about it." Sakura wanted to comfort her and Sara only nodded weakly. Less did she know.

"And there is more." Sara then turned towards Aki. "I have something for you as a reward for your progress in controlling your powers."

"A reward?"Aki asked surprised.

"Yes." Sara answered and longed for her deck. She flipped through her cards and then took out one of them and handed it to Aki.

"Don't get it wrong. This is only until the time you get hold of your powers. But I'm sure this card or better its duel spirit will guide and protect you. Then when it proves to me that you can control your powers I will take it back. I'll just lend it to you, if you want it that way."

Aki looked at her with disbelief and then turned her gaze towards the card in her hand, before she catched her breath. "That's your Light and Darkness Dragon!"

"Yes, and I think that it resembles you a lot. You're also fighting against the dark inside you and I'm sure one day you will also be able to have a balance between Light and Dark, just like my dragon."

"What about you? You sound like your not going to do anything more from now on."

As always Aki catched onto the facts quickly, maybe a bit too quick.

"That's not what I meant. I will always be there to help you. It is only that you will always remember my training during each duel you fight when you take it with you, even when I'm not around. We are going to graduate one year before and you will also have duels without me being nearby, won't you?" Sara explained to her, the same time she felt really awkward inside for not saying the truth she wasn't allowed to tell.

Aki nodded slowly then she placed the card in the pocket of her school uniform where she kept her other cards.

Sara smiled before they all said goodbye to each other and went to their homes. Sara felt terrible inside because she hadn't been able to tell her friends that she wasn't coming anymore from tomorrow on but she didn't have another choice. This was for the sake of her family and she would do everything to restore her life as it had been until eight years ago.

Soon she was back home and in the living room was not only her mother but also her aunt Cloe. As always she wore her long black and blonde hair flying over her back together with a blue miniskirt, a white shirt and a blue jacket. It was somewhat a variation of her old school uniform of Duel Academy and Sara liked it a lot.

"So when are we going?" Sara asked. She saw that her mother had already packed everything and looked at the two women curiously.

"We're going instantly but there is something we have to do beforewards." Catherine explained.

"What is that?" Sara asked curiously. She didn't know that they had to do something else.

It was then aunt Cloe who anwered. "I'm going to erase your memories until we can come back."

Firstly Sara was too stunned to speak. "You're going to – what?"

"I'm going to erase your memories. But don't worry. I can give them back to you anytime I want."

"But why?" Sara asked curious, seemingly she began to calm down a little.

"It is only a security measure for the case that Goodwin finds you. Without knowing who you are, you don't have any meaning for him. Also he won't recognize you. We will drop you in Satellite. There you have to find your way on your own but we will have our eyes on you everytime." Catherine meant.

Sara couldn't believe her ears but a few minutes later she realized that her mother had point there so she let aunt Cloe in her head and take all her memories up until now without any other complaint.

Joey: Can I have an answer to my question now?

MasakiSora-chan: Which question?

Joey: How did rich boy get kidnapped in the first place?

Duke: I have to admit for once I agree with Joey. It is not ununusual that Mokuba gets kidnapped but Kaiba?

MasakiSora-chan: Well, Goodwin did a good job then.

Catherine: I don't care how he did it, tell me where Seto is!

MasakiSora-chan: Search for him.

Catherine: I did that already but I couldn't find him!

MasakiSora-chan: You have to wait then. By the way, didn't I tell you to stay out of this story? *sighs* Don't forget a review would be really, really nice.
