Oh my Ra. I haven't updated this since... December. I should really start remembering those old, not so good fanfics I have. (Speaking of which, I pulled out a Warriors x 5Ds crossover, and after major spellchecking and some work with it, maybe it could get posted.)

I'm really sorry. I've forgotten about this story with all of the other stories that I'm working with right now. (Once I'm done with this, then I can work with AFA -.-') I do not own 5Ds at ALL.

"What are they saying?" Jack asked as Yusei tried to listen to what their older doubles were saying.

"Shhh!" Yusei whispered back. "I can't hear with you talking!"

Yusei strained to hear what they were saying, and since the stairs were pretty close to the living room, he could hear fairly well... when Jack wasn't talking.

"So, do you know where Miyu is now?" Yusei heard Martha ask.

"No, we lost him." That was the voice of his own double. The one that the older ones had been calling Yusei.

"I had him under gunpoint," Yusei heard Jack boasting. "Until he shot Crow. Then, Crow was way more important than stopping him." Yep, Yusei decided. That defiantly sounds like Jack, He's always boasting about something.

Yusei heard the other Yusei mumble something, but since he wasn't close enough to hear, he didn't catch it. But it seems that Kalin's double had heard him.

"And what, you would've wanted to die then, Yusei?" The other Kalin asked. Martha gasped. "Crow jumped in front of the bullet. Yusei... from your time had been with him at the time." Kalin looked back over at Yusei. "And if you would've been killed now, you wouldn't be here anymore. The whole future would've been altered, and Crow knew that."

Yusei shuddered at the thought of dying, and at such an early age. Jack must've noticed him shudder, because he whispered, "What is it?"

"I'm glad that he didn't die," Martha added.

"I'm glad too," Yusei whispered to himself.

Then he turned to see Jack, Crow and Kalin all standing behind him. "They're just talking about what happened to their friend. And what would've happened if... if he hadn't saved me. That's all. Everyone agrees that they're all glad that he didn't die. And I'm glad too."

"Me too," The other three kids whispered.

"Oh!" Yusei exclaimed. "He must've woken up! And... They all left the room."

"..." The four kids stood there, staring into the empty room. No one was there to catch them for still being awake.

"Come on," Crow whispered. He snuck around the corner of the stairs and into the living room.

"Crow!" Kalin gasped. "Come back! They'll catch you!"

Crow didn't turn around. Yusei sighed. I guess we'll have to go after him.

"So Martha knows everything?" Crow asked. Everyone was standing around his bed. They must've been really worried about me, Crow thought to himself. He tried to move, but felt a sharp pain right next to his heart. Crow held back a groan of pain. He didn't want his friends to worry about him.

"Pretty much," Kalin replied.

"Did she ask about all these markers of mine?" Crow joked. No one laughed. Heh, must still be too worried to laugh, Crow thought sadly.

"So," Jack said, breaking the silence. "When are we going after Miyu again? I want to teach that brat that he can't just go and mess around with people's pasts!" Then Crow heard him whisper, "Or their friends."

Crow smiled to himself. Jack did have a heart! It was a miracle!

"Jack; you, Yusei and I could go out looking for him tomorrow," Kalin said, casting a glance at Crow. "But Crow, you'll have to stay here."

"But-" Crow wanted to argue, even though it was pointless. There was no way any of them would let him go.

"Crow, no," Yusei told his adopted brother. "You're hurt, so you'll have to just stat here. You... you can help Martha watch the kids." Then, he also added, "And make sure we weren't that much trouble for Martha."

Crow smiled. "Fine. I'll stay."

"Thank you," Kalin murmured.

"Let's send you three off to bed too," Martha told everyone. Before anyone could complain, Martha added, "My house, my rules. You being from the future doesn't change my rules. You should all know them very well by now."

"Yes Martha," Everyone agreed.

"Wait," Jack said. Everyone stopped. A smirk played across Jack's face. "It seems we have some visitors." Everyone turned and saw the younger versions of Crow, Kalin, Jack and Yusei watching them from the door. As soon as the kids were spotted, they all jumped back.

"You four!" Martha gasped. "You were supposed to be in bed an hour ago!" Martha scolded.

"It seems you'll have to keep an eye on us," Kalin laughed.

Crow nodded. "They won't get out of my sight. I'll have to tell them some sort of story about the future... maybe then they'll stay where they're supposed to!"

"Yeah, maybe," Kalin laughed.

Martha took all seven of them off towards some bedrooms, and sent the four younger ones to their beds and gave their time traveling counterparts some rooms to stay in. Afterwards, she went to check in on Crow.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Martha asked.

Crow nodded. "Alright as I'll ever be after taking a bullet for the team." Crow laughed at his own joke, but Martha remained silent. Man, no one has any humor left! "Hey, I'll help watch the kids tomorrow. In the future, I've kinda got my own little group that I'm looking out for, thanks to your help."

Martha smiled. "I'm glad I'm still there to help you in the future."

"What?" Crow asked. "You're not going to die anytime soon, if that's what you're wondering... well, you're not going to die and stay dead. But I can explain that later."

"Now get some sleep," Martha whispered. "Goodnight, Crow." Martha turned off the lights.

And for a moment, Crow felt as if he was a kid again, and still with Martha. "Goodnight Martha!"

"Hey everyone wake up!" Yusei opened his eyes at the sound of his younger self's voice. Apparently, he was always the one to wake everyone. Yusei thought back to when he was a kid, and remembered waking everyone up all of the time. Yusei chuckled to himself, getting up and out of bed.

"H-hi," Yusei turned and saw his younger self at the door. "Um, do you want to join us for breakfast?"

"Sure," Yusei replied kindly. His younger self seemed really shy around him. Was I really that shy when I was younger?

As everyone got up, Yusei went to go check on Crow, and see how he was doing. Yusei wasn't surprised to find him still fast asleep- like a log.

"Okay everyone," Martha said, once everyone was in the breakfast room. "I want you all to meet some guests." All eyes turned to Yusei, Jack and Kalin. "These are some friends who you may recognize- Yusei, Jack and Kalin." All of the kids' eyes turned to the younger ones- the ones that they knew.

"How?" One girl- who Yusei recognized as Lily- called out.

"We're from the future," Kalin replied. "We've come back to defeat an evil person who's trying to screw up the past."

"Cool!" Some of them said. Others just stared in shock. Some stared in disbelief.

"Hey wait," Another kid asked. "Jack, Yusei and Kalin are never just those three. What about Crow? He's always with them!"

"He's in the other room," Martha said, pointing to the bedroom. "But he's hurt, so no bothering him. He's already said that he can help me watch you all today."

"Yay!" The kids cheered.

"How'd he get hurt?" Another asked.

"He was shot, with a gun!" Jack's younger self said before anyone else could answer. Some kids gasped.

"But he's okay now," Martha said quickly, with a sharp glare at Jack, who immediately was silenced.

"Okay now, everyone get some breakfast," Martha told the kids and teens.

After breakfast, Yusei, Jack and Kalin avoided questions by leaving to find Miyu. They weren't running away from the questions, but they were escaping them in one way. Now Crow was stuck with all of the questions.

"How'd you all travel back in time?" One kid asked Crow.

Crow had just finished breakfast himself- he had been woken up by Martha after the others had left.

"Well, there's this dragon called the Crimson Dragon," Crow explained. "It took us through time to stop Miyu." He had already explained who Miyu was.

"How'd you get so many markers?" Another kid asked.

"So many questions," Crow mumbled to himself. Then, louder, he replied, "Mostly stealing things. I have a group of kids in the future who I take care of, with the help of Martha. Things get more difficult as you grow up..." Crow sighed. "But they also get better, don't worry."

"What's one of the greatest things that happens?" Another kid asked.

"Ah, one of the greatest," Crow said, thinking for a moment. "In the future, they finally are able to create a bridge between Satellite and Neo Domino."

Many kids gasped. "Whoa!" Even Martha was surprised.

What's one of the... worst things that happened?" Another kid asked. "Not everything can be good, right?"

"You're right," Crow replied. He paused to think. "Well, there was this group that called themselves the "Dark Signers", and they tried to take over the world using the power of darkness."

"Wow," The kids gasped. They really liked to hear about the future- all of them. The kids continued to ask Crow questions about the future until about eight thirty when Martha sent them off to bed.

"But we can't go to bed yet!" The younger Jack complained. "Our doubles aren't back yet!"

Crow laughed at the nickname. Doubles... It made sense to them, though. The time travelers did seem like doubles to them, since they were still... what, five?

"They'll be back later," Martha told the kids. "Now, off to bed."

Complaining the whole way, the four headed off.

"When do you think they'll be back?" Martha asked Crow once the kids were gone.

"I really don't know," Crow admitted. "The other nights that we were here, we spend almost all night searching. So... it's difficult to tell."

But right as Crow said that, the front door opened and a moment later, slammed shut. Must be Jack, Crow thought.

"Did you find him?" Crow called out to the rest of his group. He stood up and walked over towards the door.

"No," Jack grumbled. "We didn't. He left no clues to where he went."

"It's like he was never here," Kalin muttered. "I thought that he might be somewhere around where all of his goons met up, but no..."

"So we've got nothing?" Crow asked. Everyone shook their heads. "Then... can I come out and look with you tomorrow? Please? Those kids made me almost give my whole life biography today!"

"Are you better?" Yusei asked.

"As better as I'll ever be," Crow answered. Everyone stared at him like he had said no. "Fine, if I tell you yes, will you let me?"

"Maybe," Kalin said.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Jack answered it, and a moment later he was back in the door with the others. He had a note in his hand.

"We've got our clue," Jack growled, showing everyone the note. Jack read it aloud. "If you're looking for Miyu, meet me near the broken bridge to Neo Domino."

"Could that be Miyu, leading you all into a trap?" Everyone turned and saw the younger Yusei, standing next tot he steps.

"Yusei!" Martha said, not expecting him to still be up. "Get back to bed! And take those other three with you!"

"They're not with me," Yusei said quietly. "Not this time."

"Then get yourself back to bed," Martha replied.

"Wait," Crow said. "He could have a point though. Miyu does want to trap us somehow, and this would be a perfect trap for us to fall right in to." Crow turned to the younger Yusei. "Good thinking."

The kid Yusei smiled at being praised.

"But, we should still go, right?" Kalin replied. "We should keep our guard up, but this is the only clue we have..."

The group remained silent. Kalin was right, they would have to go, since it was the only clue that they had. "It looks like we're going..."

Extra long chapter! Yay! Sorry if it doesn't have breaks, they always disapear whenever I type them -.-' Why, Ra, why? And one more thing- I wonder who sent the message! You'll never guess his name! Never! (He's... new.)

Please review, since this chapter was extra long for my forgetfulness. (Usually 1,000 words, this on is over 2,000. See?)
