Everyone has now been is this different dimension for a week and everyone was starting to settle in. Well everyone apart from Chazz and Jack. Chazz wouldn't stop complaining about the food, how it was practically the same every night, and Jack wouldn't stop complaining about not having coffee in this dimension. At first it was annoying but they soon got used to it. Beth went out everyday to get food for everyone. She should be out for a good couple of hours, some days she would be out for most of the day since she had to get water. Nobody minded it. It just gave them more time to get to know each other they all saw it as.
Right now Tristan, Joey, Crow, Leo and Luna were watching Yugi and Jack having a duel against each other. Beth suggested not to use their duel-disks, so they decided to do it the old fashion why before duel-disks came about, and that was to play on the floor. Jim and Axel were standing by a window keeping an eye out for any trouble. Everyone was thinking of them as their guards. Hasselberry and Syrus were also having a duel with Chazz watching with boredom. Yusei and Yuma were to having a duel with Shark, Bronk, Caswell and Flip watching. All the girls were sitting together talking about girl-stuff, well all apart from Akiza. She, Jaden and Jesse were in his room taking out Jaden's stitches.
"Its okay Jaden we are almost there." Akiza said slowly taking out the stitches with her eyes glued to the wound. Jaden nodded with his eyes closed as he laid on the bed with Jesse standing on the other said of him.
"Jess, you didn't have to come in here you know." Jaden said to Jesse not turning his head. Jesse laughed.
"I know, but I still wanted to be." Jesse said to Jaden with a smile on his face.
"What about Lex and Sy, didn't they want to come in?" Jaden asked Jesse. Jesse nodded.
"They did but little Sy would have been sick everywhere and Alexis probably would have fainted." Jesse said to Jaden. Jaden nodded.
"True." Jaden said with a little laugh. Akiza let out a sigh.
"Okay Jaden you are done." Jaden let out a sigh in relief and slowly sat up. Jaden looked down at his stomach to see where the stitches were originally, there was now a white line with a little dent in his stomach. It was red in the area.
"Here you go Jay." Jaden turned to see Jesse holding out his t-shirt out for him.
"Thanks Jess." Jaden said accepting his shirt.
"You should be okay now Jaden. Just take it easy for the next couple of days." Akiza told Jaden. Jaden nodded and got of the bed. The three of them then walked out of the room and into the living room where no one noticed them. Jaden and Jesse walked over to Syrus, Hasselberry and Chazz while Akiza went over to the girl group.
"And I telling you right now, I don't think Yuma can get through a hour without having to eat. One time during a duel tourna-" Tori stopped her story when she saw Akiza walking over to them. "Hey Akiza." She greeted.
"Hey guys." Akiza said sitting down on the ground next to Tea and Rio.
"How's Jaden?" Blair asked.
"He's fine Blair. Just need to take it easy for a couple of days." Akiza told Blair. Blair nodded and looked round the group. She then noticed Alexis looking over to where Jaden and Jesse went.
"Watch you looking at Alexis?" Blair asked. Alexis looked at Blair.
"What?" Alexis asked. Blair giggled.
"Nothing." Alexis looked at her with a confused look. She looked round the group, hoping one of them would tell her what was going on.
"What are we talking about over here?" The seven girls looked up to see Beth was standing behind Cathy and Alexis. She then knelt down and sat down with her legs laying on the right side of her body.
"Oh nothing much, just about Alexis secret crush." Rio said with a smile on her face. Alexis' face then went bright red.
"I don't have a secret crush!" She almost yelled. Cathy smiled.
"Really? Cause you to look great together." Alexis went redder.
"Can we please just change the subject?" Alexis asked, sounding desperate.
"Okay, what to?" Tea asked.
"Oh I got it." Blair quickly said. The girls turned their attention to her. "Where can a girl get a bath around here?" It was at that moment all the girls realised something. They hadn't bathed in nearly a week.
"Oh god, she's right." Rio said looking down at her clothes.
"Okay, if you want we can all go down to the river and get washed down their if you want." Beth offered.
"What about our clothes?" Akiza asked.
"I have a bunch of other clothes I wear when I ever bath. You all can borrow them while you clothes dry if you want." Beth said to the girls pointing behind her when she mentioned the clothes.
"A bath does sound nice." Alexis admitted. Beth smiled and then stood up.
"Okay then. Lets get everyone together and we will head out to the river. You guys let everyone know and I will get the things we will need. " With that Beth left the room while everyone went to their friends to tell them what was going on. After 5 minutes everyone was together ready to leave to go to the river. Beth soon returned with two rucksacks, and and big handbag.
"What's with all the bags?" Tristan asked.
"Towels and clothes for everyone. I dout so of you are gonna be wanting to be naked in front of everyone when in the river, am I right?" Beth asked everyone. Everyone looked at each other before turning their heads away. Beth let out a little laugh. "Now before we leave I want to quickly tell you this. Do not wonder of. The others here could grab you at any moment. And second, don't make to much noise. It could give us away if they are trying to come after us." Beth instructed to everyone. "Okay, you all ready?" Everyone nodded. "Let's go then." And with that everyone left the apartment.
They had been walking for nearly an hour and they were no longer in an area full of buildings but instead trees. Some were starting to get a bit tired especially Leo and Luna. Because they were younger than everyone else they wouldn't be able to walk for as long as the others. Akiza looked down to see Luna holding her side.
"Luna are you okay?" She asked. Luna looked up at her and gave her a little smile.
"Oh yeah I'm fine." But Akiza could see right through her smile. She was in pain.
"No your not, your in pain." Akiza pointed.
"It's just a little stitch, nothing to worry about." Akiza let out a sigh.
"We need to take a break." Akiza then walked a little bit faster to catch up with Beth who was walking in front of everyone. "Beth." Beth stopped and turned to Akiza.
"Yeah?" Beth asked.
"Luna is getting a stitch, and we've been walking for nearly an hour." Beth looked at everyone to see they were all a little tired. Beth nodded.
"Okay." Beth then turned to everyone else. "Guys lets take a little break." Some let out a sigh in relief and went to the closet tree they were to and just fell against it. Beth also went over to a tree and dumped everything she was carrying.
Yugi was sitting against a tree when Atem appeared. "Yugi, something doesn't feel right." Yugi looked at him with a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked him.
"I feel like we are being watched." Yugi looked around the area, but did not seen anything suspicious.
"I din't see anything to worry about." Yugi said looking back at Atem. Atem sighed.
"Just keep and eye out." Yugi nodded and Atem went back into the puzzle. Jaden walked over to Yugi and gave him a smile.
"Hey, can I sit with ya?" Yugi smiled at him.
"Yeah sure." Jaden nodded and sat down next to Yugi, leaning his back against the tree. "So, how you feeling?" Jaden gave him a confused looked for a second, before realising what he meant.
"Oh you mean this?" Jaden said, pointing to his stomach. "It good. Akiza said to just take it easy for the next couple of day. I should be fine though."
"That's good to hear." Yugi said to him. Jaden nodded before talking.
"So what about you? Remembered anything new yet?" Yugi shook his head.
"Nope. Who ever brought us here defiantly didn't want us to remember who they are." Jaden nodded before looking over to his friends.
"You know, I wasn't planning on going to the reunion at Duel Academy." Yugi looked at Jaden, but Jaden kept on looking at his friends. "Sometimes I think to myself maybe it would do all my friends good if I was never friends with them. We are always attacked at and I'm most of the time the reason for it happening." Yugi gave Jaden a sad smile and turned his head and looked at his own friends.
"I know how you feel." Jaden the looked at Yugi with a confused look. "Me and my friends most of the time get in trouble in some way and its either me or Atem they are looking for."
"Who's Atem?" Jaden asked. Yugi held up his millennium puzzle.
"They spirit who lives in here." Jaden nodded. Yugi then carried on with what he was saying.
"No matter what we do, or when we go it..it just feels like we will never-" Yugi was then cut of by another voice.
"You will never have a normal life." Yugi and Jaden looked up to see Yusei standing next to Yugi. "Trust me, my friends and I never had a normal life. Not an till after we lost our marks." Yusei then sat down next to Yugi and leaned against the tree. "But, I wouldn't change anything that happened to us."
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Because, if it wasn't for this mark, then I never would have met some of my friends." Yusei said looking over at his friends. "And me, Jack and Crow would never of built the bridge connecting Satellite to New Domino."
"You know, now that you mention it, there are some good things that came out of me signing to Duel Academy." Jaden admitted.
"And me getting the millennium puzzle." Yugi said looking down at the puzzle.
"You don't get to choose what happens in this world," Yusei started to say.
"But we doing get a saying on what does happen," Yugi completed. Yusei smiled.
"And you know what?" Yugi and Yusei turned and looked and Jaden, who was looking at his friends again, "I like what I've got to say." Yusei and Yusei smiled as Jaden turned and faced them with a smile on his face.
