Weeks have passed and it's the 14th of July. Akiza insisted that we had a small party at the mansion. I couldn't say no even if I wanted to… We took some blankets, placed them onthe front lawn and saw all the fire works go up into the sky and explode. I was amazing, because she was there… Her soft voice, that seem to always make me smile and laugh, her angelic face that takes my breath away, and her beautiful soul that makes my heart sing.

Everyone was there, Jack, Crow, Divine and Akiza… I was happy and I felt like nothing else mattered.

When suddenly my body felt cold, I shivered. What was happening to me?!

"Yusei?! You alright?!" asked Jack as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Your freezing!!!" he shouted.

I could feel it, something was near, something, or… Someone. I felt so cold, I lost the feeling in my arms and my body slowly became numb.

"Yusei, please, say something!" Akiza shouted with worry as she rushed to my side.

"You need to leave…" I moaned. She flinched at my response.

"What! Why, your probably sick!!!" she yelled in a panicky tone. I look up at her, her eyes watery and on the edge of tears.

"Akiza, something is here… I need you safe!" I shouted, as my voice cracked a little.

I found you…

My eyes open wide. I was hearing things, my heart was pounding. What on earth is going on, what's wrong with me!? …Just when I think everything is alright, something like this happens!

"Akiza leave!!!" I yelled.

That's when I saw it… a huge, rat like monster, skinny to the bone, with sharp and long fangs, his eyes were golden like mine, and his tail was long. It roared loudly. We all stared at it in horror.

"Run!!! Just run!!!" I yelled.

"Your coming with us!" yelled Jack

"That thing is only after me! Just go!!!" I yelled.

Don't worry kid, I'll handle this for you, but don't think I 'll keep helping you like this… You also have to fight your own battles.

The male voice said in my thoughts, I shake my head and shut my eyes tightly.

"Stop!!!" I yelled as loud as my lungs could let me. I feel the ground move, I open my eyes and see the demonic creature run towards us. I couldn't stand, my body didn't let me, everything was happening so fast.

Blood splattered all over me and the others, my eyes opened wide. I saw a male figure beside the demon's corps. He held a katana in his, his hair was styled like mine, but darker. He was tall and more masculine than me. He slowly turned to us and glared at us, he had golden eyes like me… It was looking in a mirror. He had my face, the shape of my eyes, lips, cheek bones, everything!

"What the hell!?" shouted Crow. The man smirked and placed his blade on his shoulder.

"Well you sure have grown up sonny! And here I thought I was going to see a little squirt!" he shouted at me. I gasped lowly. No way… not this man, he couldn't possibly be my father. I stared at him blankly, my head started spinning. And everything went dark.

I slowly fluttered my eyes open, I stare at the ceiling in my room, I shake my head a little. Then I turn my head to my left and see Akiza beside my bed, her head rested on the edge of my mattress, her eyes were closed and her cheeks were covered in tears. I lie on my side and touch her cheek, wiping her tears off.

I love her.

Even though I know she wont return those feelings, at least I'll have her as a friend… And that's all I need.

I kiss her head and pet her smooth hair. I watch her sleep, peaceful and silent like a baby…

"…I love you…" I whisper. A little while later, she opens her eyes slowly, her eyes look at me. She jumps on e and holds me in a tight embrace.

"Yusei!" She shouted as her voice cracked. I hold her and rest my chin in her shoulder.

"I'm sorry… I made you cry." I mutter.

"I would shed as many tears just to know that your ok." she said.

"I hate to ruin a moment like this, but I'm afraid I need to speak with my son!" shouted a husky male voice. We both look at the basement's stair case and see him.

"I have much to explain to Yusei. So please give us some privacy." he said. Akia nods, she got up and left the basement, heading upstairs. He walks closer towards me, I look away, I sit up and warp my arms lightly around my knees.

" You have to understand Yusei… I didn't even know I had a son until just a few days weeks ago." he said. I look at him with emotionless eyes. "I didn't mean to leave you alone. And I'm sorry for all the trouble and misery I put you through." he muttered. I sigh.

"What happen to you then?" I asked.

"It's best I tell you everything from the beginning… When I was young, my side of the family was placed under a curse to guard the gates to hell. The spell could not be broken unless we learn to love and be loved in return. That is why you posses demonic powers, such as your arms and the ability to sense when another demon is near."

I blinked.

"Why do we still have the curse when you met mom?! Or did you just use her for satisfaction?!" I snarled. He sighs.

"Your grandmother hated my guts and forbidden me to see your mother. I didn't want any trouble, and it was bad enough that I had to fight off demons every time we would get the chance to see each other. So I left, even though it pained me. I didn't get a chance to tell your mother how I truly felt, and she must have been waiting for me to say it first… that's why our curse still remains." he sighs. I look down. " When I found out that we had you, it brought me great joy, I thought I was going to return to a family… But… I come home to find the love of my life dead and my son lonely. I was going to approach you, but I saw you very happy with that girl. I didn't want to hurt you. …Just my luck, one of Kiryu demons come out of the friggin no where and ruin everything!" he takes a deep breath.

"How did you find out about me? And who the hell is Kiryu?!' I asked.

"A… little birdy told me. As for Kiryu, I'll explain that tomorrow. I promise! For now, you should get some rest. You had a hectic day." he muttered. I nod. "by the way… That girl you were with is pretty cute!" he said with a smirk. My whole face flushed red hot.

"I-I guess!" I muttered. He chuckles.
