AnimeKiwi369: I am freakishly lucky at fighting video games I've never played before.

Yusei: I'll take that as you enjoyed your time at your friend's party yesterday.

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah. And I was going to update before the party yesterday, but I didn't get around to it. ^^'

Yusei: Sure. Whatever you say.

AnimeKiwi369: No really! Kinda...

Yusei: Why am I your co-host and not Akiza?

AnimeKiwi369: Well, considering I've put her in a coma in the story and I'm scared she's going to kill me, I've decided to use you until she's back.

Yusei: I see.

AnimeKiwi369: We get to see a different side of you.

Yusei: I've gotta bad feeling about this.

AnimeKiwi369: Well, I have a disclaimer to do. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters; I [sadly] only own my own characters and storylines. Sorry if any characters are out of character and that there is a lot of dialogue. Oh, and I have a slight rant.

Nightmare's Return

Chapter 10: An Unpleasant Visit

"Yusei, what do you mean?" Luna asked a bit scared. She had never seen her older brother-figure so angry. She had never seen such a lifeless look in his eyes. It saddened and frightened her.

"I'm going to The Facility. I deserve answers and the only one that can give them to me is Sayer. And this won't be a trip to remember."

"Are you sure it's a good idea? I mean you know what Sayer can do. He could really hurt you and then no one will be able to save Akiza." she commented, "Yusei, you're like my brother and I love you like one, and I don't want you to get hurt. He's almost killed you before and same with Akiza. I know she means everything to you, and I know you've gotta do what you gotta do. But still…"

"Luna, I'll be fine." He told her, gathering her in his arms in a brotherly manner.

"Promise me you'll come back and save Akiza." she told him. She didn't want to lose either him or the psychic. They meant too much to her. They had grown too close in the past several years. She loved all of them. The thought of losing one of them terrified her. She had almost lost the psychic before when she hadn't told them about what Black Rose Dragon had told her.

Yusei tightened his grip a little on her, "I promise."

He wasn't up for eating and just went back up to his and Akiza's room. He sat beside her and held her hand. Her eyes twitched, signaling she was dreaming. The Dragon Head Signer wondered what she could be dreaming about. It looked like it was a peaceful dream. At least he hoped it was. Yusei didn't want her to be in any more pain than she had already been in. Akiza had already suffered enough.

Later

He walked down the halls of The Facility with a few guards since they knew how dangerous Sayer was. The chief of The Facility was surprised when the dark-haired Signer asked to see the powerful psychic. Yusei admitted to himself quietly that he was, in fact, a bit afraid of what was going to happen. But he wasn't sure if he was afraid for himself or for Sayer. He kept clenching and unclenching he fists, which were jammed in his pockets. The dark-haired duelist was having a surprising amount of trouble controlling his temper. He had never had trouble controlling it before. That frightened him.

"Why do you want to see this prisoner?" one of the guards asked as they reached the maximum security cell Sayer was being held in.

"I have some unfinished business with him." He responded, "He's messed with my, my friend's, and my wife's lives too much."

"I see." The guard said as he opened the door, "We'll be out here in case he tries anything unsavory."

"Thanks." Yusei responded and took a deep breath before going into Sayer's cell.

The lights were dim in the holding cell and the psychic was huddled in a corner. One of his wrists was cuffed and chained about him to the wall. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was unkempt. The former Arcadia looked up at the professional duelist with cold eyes.

Yusei's eyes were blank of all expression. They held nothing. Not sadness, not anger, not disgust. There was nothing. It was the only thing the dark-haired man could do to control his emotions. They were silent for several minutes, looking each other over. The dark-haired duelist was almost afraid to speak; afraid his temper would get the better of him. Though he didn't have it most of the time, his temper could be incredibly vicious if all his worries and anger built up and up and up. Like it had in the past month. Especially in the past day and a half.

Sayer finally broke the silence.

"Well, well, well, well." He began, "I never thought I see you again, Fudo." He snarled with his voice filled with malice.

"I can't this is a pleasure, Sayer." Yusei responded, managing to keep his voice even and not give away his anger.

"I completely agree." The psychic told him, "What brings you here?"

"I want answers." He replied, his voice turning hard, "I want to know what you did to Akiza. Burying her Black Rose persona and her nightmare deep within her and controlling them after it was released? And causing it to become released when she began to worry about another thing?" his voice was beginning to rise dangerously, "What I want to know is why you want to keep messing with our lives!"

Sayer merely chuckled hollowly, "Why else, Fudo? To get back at both of you! I had Akiza in the palm of my hand, and then you came along. She was never the same after she met you! When I caused her to pass out before taking her to the lighthouse, I buried the power I knew she feared most inside her. I didn't know when it or her nightmare would manifest; all I know is that it would when she became worried by something. And what would that something be?"

"My wife may never wake up and you want to know what caused her to worry!" he yelled; he took a deep breath and let out a humorless and lifeless laugh, "I should've known; you just care about other's pain. Kalin wasn't even like that when he went after Sector Security."

"If you're suffering, my work is done." Sayer responded coldly. He flicked the hand that wasn't chained against the wall of his cell.

Yusei was thrown against the wall against the door. His head started pounding. But he didn't let it bother him. He was facing much, much worse. He didn't care if he was hurt. All he cared about was Akiza being in a coma for who knew how long. He let out another dry chuckle.

"You really are weak, aren't you? You hurt others to make yourself feel good, don't you?" he stated rather than asked as he stood up, "That explains what happened to Toby and what you've done and are doing to Akiza. You do terrible things. Well, you know something, that's wrong. I know you know that. But you honestly couldn't care less about anyone but yourself. You've ruined lives for far too long. No matter what happens to you, no matter where you are, you'll always ruin lives."

Sayer stayed silent. He wasn't even looking at the dark-haired Signer.

"And you've wanted to ruin mine since the day you first saw I wanted to help Akiza." he continued, "Well, congratulations. You've done it. You've torn my life to pieces. You've taken Akiza and our children away from me."

"'Children'?" the psychic inquired, repeating the word.

"My wife is pregnant with twins that may not even be born because she's in this coma and can't take care of them, like she should be. And it's all because of you."

Sayer flicked his hand again, sending the Dragon Head Signer back against the wall, "Shut up, Fudo."

"Fine. I'm done here anyway. There's no way I'll get through to you to ask how to get Akiza out of her coma and save our family." He got up and began to leave, "I've lost her. I don't care what you've done to me. There's nothing worse than living with a broken heart."

Yusei left, slamming the door completely shut. It had been a complete waste of time. He didn't care. What would he do now that she was gone? He began to leave The Facility and heard footsteps beginning to follow him after several corridors. He turned around to see the guard he had spoken to earlier.

"Did I forget something?" he asked.

"I heard what happened to you and I think I might be able to help." The guard responded. Yusei felt a slight feeling of hope in the pit of his stomach.

"What do you think you can do?" he asked, enthusiasm coming to his lifeless voice.

"There's a psychic duelist in New Domino, but not like The Black Rose." He started.

Yusei's breath hitched slightly in his throat at the mention of Akiza's old persona.

"And he's notorious. He's wanted by the police for critically injuring duelist not only physically, but mentally as well. We think that if he loses a duel, what happened to his opponents may happen to him. Or he might be at least easier to catch."

"How is beating him in a duel going to help me?" the dark-haired man asked, his hope fading.

"There's a reward for beating him that can pay for your wife to be taken care of in the hospital while she's carrying your children, so they could survive and at least live. Even if your wife might not ever wake, at least you could have what your love has created."

Yusei liked this idea. If he could get that kind of money—the kind of money that's so difficult to come by—maybe he could at least have their children, even if he couldn't have Akiza.

"How can I find this duelist?" he asked.

"He's mostly in the underground duels. But there's one challenge and test he gives you during your duel." The guard warned.

"What?"

"You have to face your deepest fears."

AnimeKiwi369: Hmmm...

Yusei: What?

AnimeKiwi369: I seem to leave things off on cliff hangers.

Yusei: We've already established that in your first storyline.

AnimeKiwi369: I guess so. The next chapter is going to be a lot sweeter.

Yusei: Weren't you going to rant about something?

AnimeKiwi369: Thanks for the reminder. I got an anonymous review that was rather negative to my decision to have Yusei and Akiza have twins. Espically fraternal twins. And I just have to say that I was having trouble deciding on which they should have for this story and just decided to use twins. I like twins as well, and I only make them have twins in this story and another story during the epilogue. So please don't diss on my decision. It's not very kind.

Yusei: That was a polite rant.

AnimeKiwi369: I try to not let anger get the better of me.

Yusei: Any set number of reviews you want?

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah. I'm going to kindly ask for a mere ten. I'll try to update sooner. ^^'

Yusei: Well you are on spring break so you can update at least once more.

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah. So please be kind and please review! ;3
