Wow! On chapter 10 already of this story! Hey, I'm not complaining. It's a fun story to write and clearly everyone else likes it as well! I'm thinking mainly about the reviews and planning to incorporate some of those ideas into the story one way or another.

Anyway, this chapter will be circulating around Yami, Yugi and the other guys (Yusei, Johan and Judai).

Taking an idea from someone in my reviews, I'm hoping this chapter will be just that bit more better, since I'm incorporating an idea from one of the best supporters this story has!

"Maybe Yugi knows something? He was mentioned in the memory after all. So, maybe he and Judai know each other?"

"Worth a shot."

"Not happening." Yami snapped. Everyone turned to look at him in confusion. "My little brother is injured right now, and this will be way too overwhelming for him. He's already confused enough, he doesn't need anything else on his plate."

Shun recoiled slightly, as if not expecting Yami to get so defensive. Besides, none of them knew just how much the two boys actually knew. Yami just held his ground and whenever someone said something, a reason, he would immediately counteract it with a better reason.

"Seriously, Yami. This is important! Please, can we talk to your little brother?" Yuya practically pleaded, but the called male just turned and refused.

"Important or not, this is rather pathetic. Just be patient, he'll be healed soon." Yami paused, and everyone knew he was going to say something that could easily offend the others. "Or are you just that desperate to get rid of us?"

That was when the other three raised their heads and listened intently. Sure, they were outsiders right now, but that didn't mean they were just something irrelevant. The group glanced straight at the others, who fell silent. None of them knew what to say. That was when Crow decided to speak up.

"In all honesty, I like having Yusei around. He's another guy around my age who's good with kids. He's a good guy, and I'll say this now. I won't be impressed if you all try and get rid of him as quickly as possible." He paused, took a slight breath, then continued. "Besides, I feel like I know him already. Maybe it's some kind of tie with where he's from? Maybe we've met before or something."

No one seemed to argue with that point, and Yusei seemed to have a smile on his lips. It wasn't very distinguishable though. Judai and Johan just remained silent, which to the people who knew them, it was rather weird. Yami seemed to agree, but it wasn't very clear. Shun spoke up himself, making all attention go to him.

"Personally, I don't think they're bad guys. Clearly we're all getting along with them and clearly they may have some association with us. I don't think we need to rush things just yet. Getting to know them won't be so bad."

"Exactly. Perhaps we should wait for Yugi to heal up, then we can talk to him. Okay?" Asuka gave Yuya a small smile, who only nodded and let out a soft "okay" as a reply.

Yusei and the others glanced around at each other, continuing their little conversation. All of the boys got along, that much was clear. People who met them changed a bit as well. They had their impact it seemed. The others wouldn't deny that. Johan and Judai started chuckling when a somewhat baffled Yami glanced at them in confusion.

"What are they laughing at...?" Yugo looked at Asuka, who simply smiled. Yusho chuckled and looked at his son's counterpart.

"Those two can see duel spirits. They must be laughing at their spirits." Yusho responded calmly, making Yugo look at the two of them. A small whistle of impression came from Crow and Yuya seemed intrigued.

"Hey, Johan, Judai! What's going on?" Asuka called out to them. A still laughing Judai leaned back and tried to contain himself as he spoke.

"Well, Amethyst and Yubel are arguing, Ruby and Hane Kuriboh are fighting and Cobalt and Wroughtweiler are trying to get Yami's attention. Clearly he can't see or hear duel spirits though."

"It's rather amusing actually. Cobalt's so offended right now." Johan said, much calmer. He then decided to help out Cobalt by summoning him and allowing him to be seen.

"Oh thank the gods Johan! I cannot believe this! He has an aura around him that clearly shows he has experience with duel spirits, yet he was completely ignoring me!" Cobalt started ranting, making Johan recoil slightly and cough to get Yami's attention again. The male glanced at the eagle and raised a brow.

"I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just not able to hear duel spirits unless they're summoned. It's the case with my little brother as well. We both can hear them when they're summoned, just not when they're still in their card and in spirit form." Yami smiled softly, apologising to the rather upset eagle.

"Oh... Well, in that case... You're apology is accepted. But now, may I talk to you?" Cobalt Eagle seemed to have gotten a bit serious now, it certainly confused Johan and Judai.

"Go ahead."

"Alright, well... Something's been bothering me about you two." Cobalt gestured to Yami and Yusei with one of his wings. This made Yusei intrigued as well. "I can tell you're both experienced with duel spirits, and I can tell that Yusei over there's even been chosen by a duel spirit..."

Yusei glanced at his right forearm, making everyone else interested as well. Crow gestured for Yusei to show everyone, which he did. After pulling off the glove and sliding up the sleeve of his blue jacket, there was a clear dark red marking on his forearm, showing a kind of dragon's head. Cobalt gestured to the mark and looked at everyone else.

"That mark is a symbol of a duel spirit. That is clearly a mark of a dragon's head, so he has a dragon duel spirit that supports him and helps him. It may have chosen him for talents or because of something else. Perhaps it's an inheritance or something. You never really know with these marks." Cobalt explained calmly. Yusei then decided to explain it for the eagle.

"It's known as the Head of the Crimson Dragon, one of the five Signer marks. The Crimson Dragon is a legendary beast that was created by five different dragons powers. My dragon was one of these dragons. However... I didn't always have the Head mark, I used to have the Tail... It moved to a friend of mine after a duel. From what I've learned about these marks, they choose their wielder. Not based on skill or inheritance. I think it's associated with who the five dragons chose. Other than that, I know that the five marks can combine and appear on a Signer's back when they need assistance. I know the full story as well, but it's rather long."

After Yusei explained, Cobalt seemed relieved that the blackette knew about his mark and what it was. Everyone else seemed rather surprised actually. Yuya thought it over for a while, trying to think about the Crimson Dragon and the overall story Yusei just explained. They decided to keep that in consideration. Perhaps someone else with a Crimson Dragon mark could help them? They could only hope for now.

After all, Yugi was already off-limits. They couldn't go anywhere need him until he had healed. So, perhaps keeping Yusei's mark in mind could assist them? Though, it didn't seem like the guys were going to be leaving anytime soon. Not with the way that everyone's getting along with them. Yuya sighed softly, it was enough to make his head hurt.

"Either way, perhaps it would help to assist you guys in getting your memories back first." Yuto glanced at the others, who didn't seem to be complaining.

"Yeah. Maybe we could help out more if we had more helpful memories." Johan smiled softly, shifting slightly so that Cobalt could perch himself on the bluenette's shoulder.
