A couple days had past since Lily's death and no one was close to over it yet. Especially Victoria and Mokuba. It also effected Yami a lot because he kept an even closer eye on Yugi ever since Victoria had said, "If Lily could get killed, then nobody is safe.".

Right now, Victoria was laying on her bed, crying her eyes out into the pillow. Her and Lily had been the best of friends ever since they first met. A little after they met, Lily even had started to call her "Aniki". She had been the closest friend that Victoria had ever had.

Then, Victoria thought of something. 'Wait a second... if I could find Dark Magician again, maybe he could bring Lily back to life.' She thought, and got off the bed to go to where Lily had died.

-- With everyone else --

"Hey... where's Aster and Zane?" Melody asked. "They couldn't of cooped themselves in their room like Victoria and Mokuba have too, could they?"

"I hope they're not doing anything together." Satorious said. "I'd have to punish Aster if he did."

"Don't put that idea in my head!" Syrus said. "Please!"

"Well, lets go look for them." Amanda said.

So, they all walked off, and not too long after, they saw Aster and Zane walking down a path in the woods.

"Way to hold back those Obelisk punks, Aster!" Zane said as he rubbed the back of his head in pain.

"Oh, like you helped! Then again, you duel worse than a drunken old guy!" Aster said, and laughed nervously when Zane shot him the death glare.

"You're just luck I'm worn out, man!" Zane said, and they both looked to see Victoria pick up Lily's dead body and bring her somewhere. "What's Victoria doing with Lily?" Zane asked, and they ran after her without trying to be spotted.

-- 15 minutes later --

Victoria found Dark Magician and ran up to him with everyone watching from the bushes.

"Hey!" She said as she approached him.

He turned around and was shocked to see her, to say the least. "You again?"

"I have a name. It's Victoria. Victoria Misawa, and I'd be more than grateful if you kindly addressed me by it." She said as she set Lily's body in front of him.

"Sorry. Why are you here, Victoria?"

"I need your help. You're a magician, and I need magic."

"What kind of magic?"

"Life giving magic."

"Life giving magic? Victoria, do you know how much energy it takes to give someone back their life? You'd have to take some of the life out of another person."

"Then make that person me. This is my soon-to-be little sister we're talking about, and I want her alive again. ...Nothing around here is the same without her."

"Victoria, I may need to drain actually a lot out of you."

"I don't care if you have to kill me to do it. Just do it."

"Victoria..."

"Did you hear me?"

"Yes, but I can't."

"Then, take some life from me to!" Jaden said as he jumped out of the bushes.

"Me too!" Bastion said.

"Me three!" Amanda said as she also jumped out.

"Me four!" Annie said.

"Me five!" Emily Lynn also said.

"Okay, okay. I think that's enough people." Dark Magician. "Just come over here and put your hands on my staff." He said, and they all did what he said after he turned his staff upside down so that the front of it was pointed at Lily. "Alright. I'm gonna start the draining part so you may start feeling weak."

His staff started glowing, and they all started to feel weak, but refused to let go. Then, the globe at the top began to glow brightly before it shot a bright light right into Lily and she glowed the same color for a minute.

"Alright. That ought to do it." He said, and they all let go to start watching what Lily did.

She didn't move, and everyone started to cry again, but they all stopped when they heard her start coughing. She opened her eyes and looked at everyone.

"Lily?" Jaden asked.

"Nii-san... I'm... alive?" She asked, but before anyone answered her, Jaden pulled her into a tight hug as happy tears rolled down his face.

"We gave up some of our life forces to save you." Bastion said, and Lily smiled.

"You all did that... for me?" She asked, her eyes sparkling with happy tears.

"Yes." Bastion said, then everyone gave her a hug.

Victoria opened her eyes to see Dark Magician walking away.

"Wait!" She said as she got up and walked over to him to give him a thanking hug. "Thank you... thank you so much for saving my sister!"

"Your welcome. ...I'm kinda of glad that you came and found me." He said as he hugged her lightly back.

"Really? Why is that?"

"Because I may not have seen you again if you hadn't." He said, and she looked at him without breaking the hug.

"Y-you wanted to see me again?"

"Yes." He said, and she snuggled back into him.

"Well, I kinda wanted to see you too. ...And I'm sorry about ordering you around a little bit back there."

"That's alright. I know why you did."

"And I... kinda wanted to see you again too." Victoria said with a blush.

-- Later that night --

"Well... here goes everything." Lily said, and walked up to Mokuba's door. She hesitated for a few seconds before she finally knocked.

"Seto, go away! I told you I'm not coming out, and I don't feel like talking!" Mokuba yelled from inside the room.

"It's not Seto." Lily said, and the door almost immediately swung open.

"Lily! What- how- what are you doing here?!"

"That's the hello I get?"

"But... but... but... I thought you... I saw you... die."

"Well, that's why I've got family like Victoria! Whenever I fall down, she brings me back up! I can't wait until she's my real sister." Lily said, and felt Mokuba hug her.

"You know I don't care why or how you're back, I'm just glad you are!"

"Good. I hope you are, because now I'm here to stay!" Lily said as she hugged Mokuba back.

-- With Yugi and Yami --

"Yami?"

"Hm?"

"Why have you been so over-protective of me lately?" Yugi asked. "I mean... you've always protected me in the past, but this has gotten a little out of hand, don't you think?"

"I'm just trying to protect you, Aibou." Yami said as he hugged his hikari. "I don't want anything to happen to you. I already let that happen once, and I never want to see it happen again. After what happened with Lily... not to mention that Jake is still out there. Neither Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl have found anything yet on him."

"So, that's why they're here?"

"Yes. I knew I couldn't go looking for him myself while I'm busy protecting and watching over you. So, I had to find someone to look for him."

"And who better than those two?"

"Exactly!" Yami said, then there was a knock on the door.

"Master! Master!" Dark Magician said threw the door and Yami opened it to see him and Dark Magician Girl standing there.

"Yes?"

"Master, we found Jake!"

"Where?!"

"Out in the woods, but we gotta hurry."

"Oh, okay!" Yami said, and went back to Yugi. "Yugi, I have to go with them. Please go up to Amanda's room. Don't go out without anyone for any reason what-so-ever, alright?"

"Alright."

"Good." Yami said, and quickly hugged Yugi before running out of the room with Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. 'Be safe.' He thought.

-- 5 minutes later --

Yami, Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl got to the place where they had seen Jake, but he was gone.

"I'm sorry, Master. I thought for sure that we'd had him." Dark Magician said.

"It's alright. It's not your fault. We'll get him next time."

Then, they all heard a scream.

"Yugi!" Yami yelled, and they all ran back towards the Slifer dorm.

-- Another 5 minutes later --

They all got to Amanda's room and opened the already slightly opened door to see Amanda, Annie, Emily Lynn, Jazzmine, Lily, and Victoria lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Victoria!" Dark Magician said, then went up to her as she slowly got up.

"Oh... what hit me?" She asked as she held her head out of pain.

"Where's Yugi?" Yami asked, and Victoria looked at them.

"Yugi? ...Oh! That Jake guy! He kidnapped Yugi!"

"Yugi... Jake kidnapped Yugi?" Dark Magician asked.

"Uh-huh."

"Well, looks like next time came sooner than you think, Pharaoh." Dark Magician Girl said.

"Yes, and there is no way in all of hell that he's gonna get away with this! I'll cut that guy up until he's in a million pieces!" Yami yelled, and ran out of the room.

"Master, wait!" Dark Magician said as he picked up Victoria and ran after Yami.

"Wait for me!" Dark Magician Girl said as she ran out too.
