Yugi yawned as she walked into her house late in the night that day, "Welcome home." She blinked when she heard a greeting and looked around, she saw her Grandpa standing there with a mug of something warm, "Here, I prepared a warm Honey Milk for you, I'm sure you are cold right now".
Yugi smiled, "Thank you, Jii-chan." She said as she accepted the mug, "But shouldn't you be sleeping?".
"I should be asking you that." Sugoroku said back to her, "You need to go to school tomorrow, but here you are still awake so late in the night".
"I couldn't help it." Yugi said with a blush, "They might not my family by blood, but they are still a family to me, they had helped me a lot. They are in need of my help, I couldn't say no, could I?".
Sugoroku sighed, "I know, that's why I didn't stop you to go." He said with a warm smile, "So, have you solved the problem?".
Yugi was the one who sighed this time, "No, we search high and low, but no one saw who did it, or they were just too scared to talk." She said before sipping from her mug, "I'm going out again tomorrow after school, the sooner I solve this, the safer my street family would be".
"Are you going to come home late again? Or are you going to sleep in the Base tomorrow night?" Sugoroku asked with a raised eyebrow, he was used with this kind of situation.
"Probably in the Base, I need to re-train them so they could protect themselves better." Yugi answered as she finished her Honey Milk, "I'm going to sleep now, Good Night, Jiichan." She hugged her Grandpa before heading to the kitchen and put the mug in the sink then walked upstairs.

"GAH! BAD OMEN!" A really loud scream rang throughout Domino High, loud enough that Yugi could hear it when she was just entered the school building.
"What was that about?" Yugi asked herself as she walked through the hallways and then into her classroom, as soon as she entered the classroom though, she found out the reason, "Oh My God! Jou's absent?!".
"Yugi! This is bad!" Honda yelled as he paced from right to left and back to right and so on, "Jou had a superhuman health, there's no way he would absent from sick!".
"Do you know how to contact him, Honda?" Anzu asked as she looked at the pacing Honda.
Honda stopped pacing and turned to her, "No, his phone was off." He said before touching his chin, "I know where he live though, I'm going to his house today after school".
"I'm going with you." Anzu said with a crossed arms, "I have no work today, and I will scold him if I found him skipping for something trivial".
"Okay." Honda said and looked at Yugi, "Are you going to as well, Yugi?".
Yugi hummed, "I couldn't." She answered apologetically, "I need to be somewhere else, but I will tell you if I see him around".
Honda and Anzu nodded, "Okay." Honda said to her and the bell rang.
Honda and Anzu walked together to Jounouchi's house, "Hm, the First door on the Third floor . . ." Honda said as they climbed the stairs, they get to their destination, "Here we go." He said as he knocked on the door.
They wait and all they got was silence, "No on home?" Anzu asked curiously.
"Hm, I think his dad is out." Honda said as he tried the handle, "Huh? It isn't locked?".
"Why don't we just take a peek?" Anzu suggested as she walked forward.
Honda nodded and they looked into the house, but as soon as they opened the door, a beer bottle was thrown at the door, shocking them. "Y- you d- dang brat, hic, where were ya, hic, the last two days . . . Hic" Came a drunken voice from inside the house, and the man sounded angry too.
"Sorry to bother you!" Honda yelled as he and Anzu ran away from the place.
"Who was that?" Anzu asked once they got out of the apartement complex.
"It's Jou's dad . . ." Honda said unhappily, "He's a drunkard from a long time ago, I guess that's why he never invited anyone to his house".
"But his dad said that Jou had been missing for two days . . ." Anzu muttered uneasily, "Where could he be?".
"Let's keep going then." Honda said as they took off to search for their friend.
They went to the town and searched to wherever place Jounouchi had been to in the past, but all was in vain, Jounouchi couldn't be found anywhere.
"Gah! Where's he?" He complained as he and Anzu sat on a bench with some distance between them, so that people wouldn't get the wrong idea.
"I couldn't think where else he could be." Anzu said tiredly.
"Take that!" A yell caught their attention, they turned and saw a group of thugs cornering a man, "Watch where you are going!".
"S- sorry . . ." The man they cornered said in fear.
One of them smirked, "Heh, it's alright if you pay us." He said hauntingly.
"Tch, they are from Rintama Gang." Honda said as he stood up, "Let's go, Anzu, they are dangerous people." He looked to his side when he didn't get a respond, "Anzu?".
"It's- it's Jou." Anzu said as she stood up and pointed at a certain person among the group.
Honda looked at them and gasped, "Shit, you are right." He said in shock.
Anzu scowled and marched to them, "Jounouchi!" She yelled in anger, "What are you doing with those jerk?! Why didn't you go to school?!".
A guy with an ugly face and wore a glasses while smoking looked at them, "You know that girl? She is talking to you." He said casually to Jounouchi.
Jounouchi glanced at her and looked away, "Nope, don't know who she is." He said calmly, "Let's go".
"Ch, Hirutani, that girl is annoying." The guy said to the other guy, who only chuckled in respond.
Hirutani?! Honda thought in shock as he looked at the guy, Jou met him at middle school, but why would he join them now?!
"Jou!" Anzu called out as she grabbed Jounouchi's hand, "What's the meaning of this? Why are you with them?!".
"Shut up, bitch!" The guy from before yelled as he hit Anzu on the face, making her fell to the ground.
"Anzu!" Honda yelled in shock as he run to the girl and helped her up, "Are you okay?".
"Yeah." Anzu answered before glaring at Jounouchi, "I was wrong about you! You are a bastard!".
"You!" The guy from before yelled in annoyance as he raised his hand to hit Anzu again, but suddenly a hand stopped him by gripping the guy's wrist tightly.
The owner of the hand was a woman with waist length Brown hair with a pair of sharp Black eyes, "Hit her again and you are dead meat." She said coldly with a dead glare.
Hirutani looked at her and threw away his cigarette, "Ch, back off, Gon, she is the former Knight of The Trump." He said and turned around, "We have a fight with another gang anyway".
Gon pulled out his hand and walked to Hirotani's side and they walked away.
"Haruka?" Honda called out in disbelief, "What are you doing here?".
Haruka looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Is that the way you call your own Big Sis?" She demanded with a crossed arms.
Honda laighed nervously, "Sorry, but what are you doing here?" He asked with a frown.
Haruka sighed, "Searching for some bastards." She said and walked to the man who got beaten by Rintama Gang earlier, "Are you alright?" She asked as she helped him up.
"Yeah." The man said as he rubbed his bruised face, "They took my money though".
"Be glad it's not your life they took." Haruka said calmly, "Do you happen to know who broke into the Rose Bakery and beat the crap out of Ibaraki Yuuya?".
"It's Rintama Gang." The man said in anger, "My friend works there, he told me that those Rintama High Schoolers broke in and robbed their money after beating his boss, they threatened to kill one of the employees there so the boss couldn't fight back at all".
"I see, thank you." Haruka said and walked back to Honda and Anzu, "Honda, get home and treat your friend's face".
"Big Sis, what happened?" Honda asked in worry, "Why are you searching for robbers?".
"The owner of the Rose Bakery is a dear friend to me and my Street Family." Haruka said calmly and someone caught her attention, "Hey, you! Come here!".
A girl with Black hair and Pink eyes ran to them, "Yes?" She asked calmly.
"You are Yagami Sakuya, the Current Knight, right?" Haruka asked, the girl nodded, "It's Rintama Gang, tell the Current Ace that".
"Understood, Former Knight." Sakuya answered and pulled out her phone from her pocket before walking away to who knows where.
"Big Sis?" Honda asked uncertainly.
"What?" Haruka snapped, "Just go home and treat that girl's bruise, a girl as cute as her should never have a bruise on her face, you know?".
"But I need to know why Jou joined Rintama Gang." Honda protested.
"He did?" Haruka raised an eyebrow to that statement, "How did your friend acted before he was seen with them?".
"He acted just like usual." Anzu answered her.
Haruka hummed in thought, "Considering Hirutani's way of doing things, I bet your friend is treathened in order for him to join them." She said thoughtfully, "Like . . . maybe they told him that they would attack you guys if Jou wouldn't join them".
"Thought so!" Honda said through gritted teeth, "Big Sis, please walk Anzu to her home, I'm going to help Jou!".
"No need!" Haruka caught his hand, "Those Rintama Gang would be in jail by the end of this day, you can just walk your friend home".
"It doesn't matter! Jou is my friend, I need to help him." Honda argued and want to take a run for it.
"Fine then." Haruka said and pointed to behind her with her thumb, "Jou is a rushing type, so he would get angry to them for hitting Anzu, rather than going to where they went, let's go to their so called Execution Ground".
The sound of thunder booming as soon as she said that.
XXXXX
Jounouchi panted heavily after he beat 4 guys, he then looked at Hirutani, "I already helped you with your fight, the deal is done." He said, "Now, don't you dare going after my friends anymore".
Hirotani smirked evilly, "Well, I said I wouldn't kill them, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't beat them up." He said.
Jounouchi growled and move to hit him, but his fist was caught, "Your gang hit Anzu, I won't forgive you for that!" He yelled in anger and kicked Hirutani at the stomach, but without him knowing it, a guy had gotten behind him and knocked him out.
XXXXX
It's raining heavily by the time Haruka, Honda and Anzu arrived at an abandoned gym building, they could hear a screaming from inside. "Shit! It's Jou's voice!" Honda yelled and rushing forward, Haruka sighed and followed after him with Anzu on their heels.
"Jounouchi!" Honda yelled as he kicked open the door to the building, he gasped when he saw the people from Rintama Gang electrocuted Jounouchi with a stuntgun, "You bastard!".
Chaos erupted . . . The people from Rintama saw him coming and attacked him, Haruka told Anzu to stay outside as she joined the fight, but they were losing in number. Not only that, it's hard to fight in the rain while making sure they wouldn't get electrocuted, not to mention they need to get to Jounouchi and helped him out.
"AAAHHH!" Haruka screamed when one of the guys electrocuted her with a stuntgun from behind, she fell to the ground as she couldn't keep standing anymore, "Shit".
"Big Sis!" Honda gasped and run to her, but one of the guys caught him and electrocuted him as well, "GAAAHH!".
"Honda! Haruka-san!" Anzu exclaimed in horror from the entrance, big mistake, the guys from Rintama High caught her and threw her into the ground beside Honda and Haruka.
"Damn, even Anzu caught up in this." Honda growled as he looked up to the guys who surrounded them with their stuntguns in hands.
Hirutani looked down at them with an evil smirk, "Well, well . . . what do we have here?" He said mockingly, "You seems to lose your fangs already, former Knight, and your Little Brother seems to not inherit the same quality of fangs like you did in the past".
Haruka smirked, "Well, giving birth seems to soften me, and Hiroto has never been in a gang before." She said calmly, "But shouldn't you be worrying about your safety now?".
Hirutani frowned at her, "What?" He asked in warning.
Haruka's smirk widened, "Not only that you broke into the Rose Bakery, you beat the crap out of Yuuya. Now you beat Jou up, you electrocuted him, and now you are cornering us to electrocuted us to death as well." She said coldly with confident in her voice, "Surely you remember what happened the last time you did something similar to this?" She raised an eyebrow, making Hirutani's eyes widened in horror, "You have brought a disaster upon yourself, the wrath of an Enraged Ace".
Hirutani turned around to look at the entrance and gasped in shock and fear, the guys from Rintama Gang looked at Haruka in confusion before one by one turning to see what was Hirutani looking at, "Who is that girl, Hirutani?" Gon asked in confusion.
Honda and Anzu looked at each other before following their gaze as well, they gasped when they saw a girl that they knew so well.
Standing by the entrance was none other than Mutou Yugi, with a White t-shirt covering her upper body, a pair of Blue jeans hugging her legs, a Black leather jacket covering her t-shirt, and a pair of Black leather boots completed her outfits. One thing was off though, her hair was now fell down to her shoulder, and even to the people who didn't know her, it was clear that the normally gentle girl was now pissed off like hell.
"Long time no see, Hirutani." Yugi said coldly, "Remember me?".
Behind Yugi were 4 more teens. Yagami Sakuya, the shoulder length Black haired girl with Soft Pink eyes they saw earlier. A girl with the same face like Sakuya but with shoulder length Red hair and a pair of Dark Blue eyes. A boy with spiky short Grey hair and Violet eyes. And a spiky short Black haired boy with sharp Brown eyes. They were all looking at Rintama Gang with cold and angry eyes.
"Mutou Yugi." Hirotani growled in deep anger, "The Ace of The Trump Legacy".
Yugi smirked evilly at the guy, "Glad you still remember me, Hirutani." She said before snapping her fingers, "Sakuya, Ishtar, Ryuu, Kyou. Get them out of there and closed the door, I don't want to give even one of those bastards a chance to flee".
"Ryoukai (Understood)!" The four teens said together and ran forward, they helped Honda, Anzu, Haruka and Jounouchi out of the building. The guys from Rintama Gang tried to stop them, but the teens would just hit them away and did as they were told to. They closed the door once they were out of the building.
"Hey! Why the hell do you left Yugi behind like that?!" Honda yelled at them in anger.
Sakuya looked at him and smirked, "Didn't you hear what the former Knight said earlier?" She asked calmly, "Hirutani had brought the wrath of an Enraged Ace upon himself".
"You mean Yugi?" Anzu asked in confusion.
"That's right, girl." Haruka said with a smirk, "Yugi is The Ace, the Leader of a group called The Trump Legacy. And once you managed to enrage her, you can only hope that she would show mercy to you".
"Eh? But Yugi is so kind!" Honda gasped in disbelief.
"Yeah, Yugi is kind and gentle and adorable . . . you name it." Ishtar said to them, she crossed her arms and she looked at the door to the Execution Ground, as the people from Rintama Gang called it, "As The Ace, she is a fierce Leader, loyal, protective and so on. But once enraged, she could only be described by one word . . . Merciless".
"Merciless . . .?" Honda, Anzu, and a weakened Jounouchi asked together in bewilderment.

"Do you think you can defeat us alone, Ace?" Hirutani growled as he raised his stuntgun.
"You should know from experience that number means nothing to me, Hirutani." Heba, who had woken up by the extreme anger Yugi felt when seeing Jounouchi in that state and the rest cornered, said coldly with a sick smile, "Even that 200.000 Volt Stuntguns are nothing to me, I could defeat you in just a minute or so".
"Don't get too ahead of yourself!" Hirutani yelled in anger as he pointed at her, "Kill her!".
Heba grinned evilly and beat them up, either with a kick or a punch, she got all of the Rintama Gang on the ground in just a few seconds, she even managed to snatched one of their Stuntguns. She hummed as she walked dragged each of them to a puddle of water and she herself stepped onto a tire, "Let's see how you will like your own medicine." She said with an evil smile before touching the stuntgun into the water.
XXXXX
Anzu, Honda and Jounouchi jumped in shock when they heard a really loud screaming of bloody murder, although somehow they know that Yugi would never kill someone, they couldn't help but wonder what in the world had been done to the guys from Rintama Gang until they would screamed like that.
"What . . . was that?" Anzu asked in horror as she and the rest looked at the closed door.
"The Ace had given her punishment to the scums from Rintama Gang." Kyou said with a smirk, "Seems like they were given their own medicine".
"They were electrocuted?!" Honda yelled in pure shock.
"Yes, it seems so." Sakuya answered as she stood up and walked to the door, "They were all screaming at once, that's mean Yugi used the stuntgun to electrocuted all of them at once with the help of the puddle of water inside".
The door opened and Yugi walked out of the building, she saw Sakuya and placed a hand on her shoulder before she lose her consciousness just like that, Sakuya was quick to catch her.
"What happened?" Anzu asked as she stood up and walked to the two girls, "Is Yugi alright?".
"She would be alright." Sakuya said calmly as she lifted Yugi up from the ground, "It's normal for her to faint after she become like that".
"We have a suspicion that The Ace has a Multiple Personality Disorder." Ishtar said as she helped her twin.
"Are you sure?" Jounouchi asked as he stood up with the help of Honda.
"Yes." Ryuu answered, "When she enraged like earlier, she would become so cold and cruel, filled with anger and hatred, so strong that we could even feel it flowing out from her. She would then punished the people who had enraged her so badly that they would need a trip to the hospital, and she would always faint after that".
"Once she woke up the next day, she wouldn't remember doing all that she did when she was in the enraged mode." Kyou continued for him, "All she would remember was what had happened before she become enraged and then nothing".
"That's why we suspect that Yugi had developed another personality." Sakuya told them before smiling, "But even so, she would still protect those she hold dear, that quality would never change even when she is enraged. And thus I ask of you, please don't treat her differently just because she has a Multiple Personality Disorder".
Anzu, Honda, and Jounouchi looked at each other before nodding to them, "Yugi is our friend, and even if she really had an MPD, we would still be her friends and be there for her in any situation." Jounouchi said with determination in his voice, Anzu and Honda nodded again in agreement.
"That's good." Haruka said with a grin before looking at Ishtar, "By the way, Ishtar, have you called the police and ambulance?".
"Already done." Ishtar answered, "I know something like this would happen when I found out that Rintama Gang was the one who robbed the Rose Bakery and beat Yuuya-san, they are just too dumb to learn not to mess with The Trump Legacy".
All members of The Trump Legacy and Haruka nodded in agreement, "Let's bring her to the Game Shop then." Sakuya said as she looked at Yugi, "I'm sure Sugoroku-jiisan is worried over her sudden take off".

"You really are going to go back just like that?" Yami asked with a crossed arms as he leaned to a wall in Yugi's Soul Room, just right beside the secret door that would lead to Heba's Soul Room which was hidden to the eyes if they not know it's existence beforehand.
Heba walked to his left and pushed on to the wall, the wall moved forward to reveal the gloomy room, "You had seen it yourself, I'm a dangerous being as long as Yugi is still unhappy, only when she's fully regained her happiness that I can control myself, keeping my sanity, when I awoken by Yugi's negative feelings." She said and looked at Yami, she smiled a bit at the Spirit, "You are a fortunate one, you could keep your sanity despite having the Shadow Magic flowing through your Soul. I'm different than you, I was born by Yugi's negative feelings, ones that she should never have in order to balance you. That, combined with the contant Shadow Magic entering her Soul due to the suffering she endured, I'm basically a Persona born from Darkness itself. Only after Yugi regained her happiness, and chasing away the Darkness from the depth of her Soul, that I could show myself to her." She smirked at Yami and gripped his shoulder before leaning in to whisper in his ear, "That's why you need to help her to be happy again if you want to get to know me better, until then, we couldn't become a couple . . . Yami-kun~".
Yami blushed as he pulled away from her, "Shut up, Heba." He mumbled in embarrassment, "Just go back to sleep." Heba chuckled and entered her Soul Room, "I will definitely make it so that you can wake up at will and control your Shadow Magic, just you wait".
"Of course." Heba answered with a seductive wink, "I will wait for my Knight in Shining Armor." She chuckled before closing the door.
Yami growled with a reddish face, Just because I have a stupid crush the first time I saw her! He thought in embarrassment.
At the rare chance where his dream would be connected to her due to their Shadow brushing against each other while the both of them were sleeping, they would talk to each other to get to know each other. Heba had found out that Yami developing a crush from the first time they saw each other when Yami had just released from the Puzzle, and she would always tease him about it, much to his embarrassment.
Yami sighed and looked at Yugi's sleeping form on the bed of her Soul Room, she had been sleeping from the time Heba woke up in response to her anger and deep hatred when seeing her friends in that situation, Heba had pulled her in and put her to sleep before taking over her body. Yugi wasn't even able to glance at her Dark Persona before Heba put her to sleep, he wasn't even sure that Yugi would remember being put to sleep by force, and he could only hope that the girl wouldn't accuse him doing something without telling her first.
Sighing, he shook his head and walked out of Yugi's Soul Room, he wouldn't know if he could keep his promise to Heba to not tell Yugi about her or not, he could only let Fate to do her job.
