No, I have not been stuck in a writing rut. * sweat drop* my first semester of school is just about to end and the teachers have been packing on the work so by the time I get home I don't really feel like writing anymore. Don't fret my loyal readers! I don't plan on ever abandoning this story! Anyway, more information! JAs far as im concerned all of the signers have some sort of psychic power even if it's barely noticeable. Yusei has learned to tap into that power while the other signers have not and he feels a lot of guilt for keeping it from them but at the same time enjoys the secret because it has brought him closer to Jaden/ Judei. Also, the more reviews and feedback I get the faster I will update. I'm not going to update very fast if it seems like no one is reading this so if you read this story and like it let me know please! I promise if I get 10 reviews I'll update the next chapter within 24 hours of the time I check and have that many. J

Yusei POV

"I exist outside of time Yusei, as the supreme king I don't exist in just one place in time that just wouldn't work. A human lifespan and restrictions would lead to chaos in the spirit world. I need to be able to be anywhere in time in order to keep order." Judei looked at me with an intense stare as he practically mumbled these words.

I looked at him, eyes wide. "But that meant…"

"Judei" I paused. "Not that I expect you to leave your life in the past, but… why didn't you tell me about something this important before?" had I known about this, we could have met more often than the sporadic once weekly-monthly we managed.

"I didn't say anything before because…" he paused seeming to contemplate his thoughts. At this moment I began to notice little details. Like how it seemed like he hadn't cut his hair for a while, and the dark circles under his eyes indicating his lack of sleep.

Finally Judei sighed. "I'm all my dad has, he already worries about me enough with me traveling the world and being ruler of the spirit realm, I couldn't add my disappearing mysteriously to that list." "I couldn't do that to him." He said more quietly. "He deserves better than that."

"But, Judei." I said. "You wouldn't have to leave permanently. Couldn't you just come for a visit like I do with you?"

He shook his head no. "It's kind of a one way trip. I can only jump time..." he scrunched up his nose and began counting on his fingers. "…. Once every two years." If I came to visit, I'd kind of be stuck here for a while." he smiled ever so slightly. Like it wasn't a huge deal that he had left his entire life and his family behind for such a long time.

Realization hit me like a semi-truck. Only now was when I remembered. Judei and his father were very very close. As far as I knew, he was even who the brunette had gotten his powers from. I bit my lip in guilt. No wonder he had never mentioned it to me before.

"So, why now?" I asked, confused on why Judei would do such a thing. He had always been a bit unpredictable, but this…

He looked up at me through his bangs. I noticed for once he wasn't wearing colored contacts like he usually did and his ice blue eyes seemed to pierce right through me.

"When you stopped coming. I waited, but after I hadn't seen you for two months I realized that I couldn't stand to be apart from you. I need you in my life Yusei, even if I have to give up my old one to have you."

…

I was stunned. I hadn't realized that Judei… felt so strongly for me. We had been "dating" for about a year yes, but our relationship had been more in the range of more-than-friends-but-not-quite-lovers stage. Yes we had kissed, but this had been both of ours first relationship so we had been taking it slow. I had noticed the hole that had been there with Judei's absence. His smile, his laugh, his stupid jokes and the way he always made dueling fun. The serious look he got when he was set on something… looking at him now, I wondered how I had missed it. How this person had gotten so entangled within my heart that it physically hurt to imagine a world without him in it. And how I had missed that he felt the exact same way about me.

I must have been gaping like a fish because although Judei looked a little unsure about my reaction he began laughing. "Ha, hahahaha." He wiped tears away from his eyes as he stood up from the position he had been hunched over in. "the look on your face!" he giggled. "Never thought I'd ever see the great Yusei Fudo totally speechless!" I blushed slightly. I wasn't usually a very expressive person. Judei was really the only one who saw my different reactions on a regular basis. I pushed him lightly. Frowning and still blushing.

"Stop it. Meanie." I said softly.

"Sorry Yusei." He grinned widely. "You know how much I love seeing new expressions though." I rolled my eyes but let out a soft smile. I couldn't really deny that I liked seeing new and rare expressions on him as well. In fact… I started walking towards him with a serious look on my face.

"Uhh… Yusei?" his eyes widened. "I said I was sorry!" he tried backing away but hit the road framing behind him. He looked a little frightened. He probably thought I was going to tickle him or something. He hated it when I did that. I leaned forward.

"Mnn." He sighed and leaned into the kiss I had surprised him with, carefully reciprocating. We were both a bit hesitant, as was usually the case, both of us didn't really have a lot of experience after all. I slowly began moving my lips and opened my mouth, letting Judei decide if he wanted to go further. I was only slightly disappointed when he almost immediately stepped away.

"…haa" he pulled away from the kiss a bit breathless. His eyes were a bit glazed over as well.

"you know… I feel the same way about you." He looked up slightly confused and still dazed. I flushed.

"I… don't think that I could stand a world without you in it. You're… probably the person I care about the most."

Judei immediately sent me the most breathtaking smile I had even seen him make.

" good, because I'm not going anywhere."
