Hey all you people. Thanks to some reviews, here's another chapter. I was surprised kinda that more people didn't review... They found him! Eh, anyway, here's the new chapter for all of you reading this story.
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, and never will.
"So," Raven managed to say at last. "You did find him?"
"Yeah," James replied, shooting a glance at Kallista.
Kallista was sitting alone. She was very quiet. She seemed to be... writing?
"Kal, what are you doing?" James asked the raven haired girl.
"Writing," Kallista mumbled. If only I could be alone right now. I love my friends, but sometimes alone time is good too. Kallista looked down at her paper. The pen shook in her hands. Sometimes, writing mean things to herself made herself feel better. Logic didn't matter, when everyone says that if you're feeling sad, be nice to yourself. It doesn't work. Only letting your heart out, and anything that you think needs to get out of your mind, onto your paper. I hate myself. I hate that Yusei has amnesia. I hate that my mom's depressed all of the time. I hate that Brandon turned against me. I hate that I can't confess to James about my love for him, completely. I... I sometimes hate my life in general. Kallista's mind went through the four sentences that she had already written.
"Kallista, you okay?" Hillary asked, worry clouding her voice. Does she think that maybe I'm going to act like my mother?
"I'm fine," Kallista assured her friend.
Hillary and Mary gave her glances that said, we don't believe you.
"Come on Kal, we're here for you," Will replied. There was confidence in his voice. I really need confidence right now. If only life could be simple.
"Well, tomorrow we're heading back there," Hawk growled. He looked really mad. "Anyone who messes with my friends messes with me, and no one messes with me or my friends and gets away with it." He curled his hands into fists. "Kallista, we will get your dad back. I promise. And no way am I breaking this promise."
"We all promise," Peter replied, smiling at Kallista. He them turned to everyone else. "Right everyone?" Everyone either shook their heads 'yes', or they replied with a "yes" or "I promise".
Tears came to Kallista's eyes. "I have the best friends in the world." She then crumpled up the paper in her hand, not bothering to continue with it.
"Then let's get some sleep and be ready for tomorrow," Collin said. Everyone nodded and grabbed their pillows and blankest before lying down in a circle and falling asleep.
"Yusei!" Kathryn called to her forever guest. "It's time to wake up! Brandon, you too sweetie!" I have to make sure that Yusei doesn't get to know anything more about his past. This party could make him want to stay with us forever.
"Coming," Yusei replied, pulling himself out of bed. "What happened to 'island time'?" Mumbling to himself, Yusei walked over to the kitchen of the small, beach house like place. It had always been all he had known. But now, was that good enough? Did his past really not matter that much? Kathryn didn't care that he was a criminal. Neither did Kallista. But she thought that he was her father, and that wasn't possible, right? He had lived here for too long of a time. Well, thirteen years. And she looked about fourteen, fifteen, or maybe sixteen.
"Ah, Yusei, you're awake," Kathryn said sweetly. But Yusei could see past that "sweet" look of hers. She had tried to shoot, and even kill Kallista and her friend the other day. That had wreaked her image in Yusei's eyes. Now Yusei just wanted to know about his life, his past that he couldn't remember. He wanted to remember, with all his heart, but there was also a lingering doubt that he couldn't shake.
"Yeah," Yusei mumbled. "But... I'm not feeling to well. Can I lay down some?" I hate lying to her. But, I have to know more.
"Sure sweetie," Kathryn replied, looking concerned.
"Thanks," Yusei replied, heading back to his room.
Before he got in his room, he heard a weird noise. It was like... a typewriter. Sort of. It sort of sounded like the noise Kathryn's phone made when she hit the buttons, but without the beeping. Suddenly, it was gone, and Brandon was walking over to the door. Yusei quickly raced into his room, closing the door mostly. Brandon walked by the room without noticing Yusei there. As soon as Yusei heard the screen door open, he knew that Brandon was heading out to the beach.
This is my chance! Yusei snuck over to Brandon's room. There was a bump in his bed, so Yusei pulled the covers off. It was a laptop. He didn't know how he knew that, but he did. Yusei grabbed the technology and put Brandon's covers back in place. Then, Yusei hurried out of the room with the laptop in his grip. Yusei then, quietly, closed his door and turned the laptop on.
It was logged off. But, there was a default "Guest" user, so Yusei clicked on that one, which didn't need a password and automatically logged him on. Yusei quickly found the 'internet' button, and clicked it. The internet popped up. So far, everything's going good. He then went up to the URL bar and typed in "Yusei Fudo". Yusei paused, almost afraid to click 'enter'. But, shaking off that fear, he clicked enter anyway and watched as 2,920,000 results popped up in 0.17 seconds.
"Wow," Yusei gasped, looking through the web pages. "Yusei Fudo, winner of the Fortune Cup after beating Jack Atlas."
"And you haven't tried to find out?" Kallista was shocked.
"I haven't been able to," Yusei mumbled. "I've been here for thirteen years. We're living on 'island time', and there's not much technology here." Yusei paused to think. "And, I'm a criminal." He pointed to his marker.
"You got that many, many years ago!" Kallista insisted. "Back when you went to Neo Domino to duel Jack!"
"Who?" Yusei asked.
"Oh my gosh," James replied, shaking his head. "This is hopeless. Just, come with us. We'll show you your past. We'll help you remember."
Suddenly, Yusei remembered Jack. He started to remember back to when they were part of Team 5Ds, and when he had gone to Neo Domino to get his Stardust Dragon card back from Jack. Stardust... It sounded so familiar. Now I know why. Yusei continued reading. There was an article, from a newspaper, that read: "Famous Turbo Duelist Yusei Fudo Missing". It explained about how the police thought that he had been kidnapped in the middle of the night. And that he was never seen again.
"And the newspaper dates back..." Yusei looked at the date of the newspaper and gasped, his eyes widening. "T-thirteen years ago." That's when Kathryn found me on the beach. How'd I end up there? Did my kidnappers throw me in the ocean?
"Yusei?" Kathryn's overly cheery voice sounded from at his door. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Yusei replied. He quietly closed the laptop and hid it under the bed. Right as Kathryn walked in. Yusei grinned at her, a fake smile, but she seemed to be fooled by it.
"I think that you need some fresh air," Kathryn said sweetly. "Why don't you hang out on the beach for a while? And if you see Brandon, tell him to come inside, okay?"
"Sure," Yusei replied. Don't make me leave. Please, shut the door. I want to know more. Yusei, shakily, stood up and walked from the room. Kathryn closed the door behind him. Yusei then headed out onto the sundeck and proceeded down the stairs and into the sand. It was a nice warm day, not to hot, but defiantly not cold at all. Brandon was easy to spot- he was only a few yards from the stairs.
"Hey Brandon," Yusei called to the teen. "Kathryn wants you inside." Before Brandon could ask why, Yusei added, "I don't know why."
"'Kay thanks," Brandon mumbled, walking past Yusei and up the steps. Yusei didn't like to see the younger boy sad, but he couldn't go after him right now. Brandon would have to deal with being depressed right now. But Yusei did watch him walk away. He had watched Brandon grow up, and now wondered what it would've been like to see Kallista grow up, if he was her father. And something told him he was. The news article said that he had a wife and daughter. Neither were mentioned with names, but Kallista even looked a lot like him, so it was pretty possible.
"Meow," a little gray tabby with jet black stripes mewed, walking up to Yusei and looking up at him with big kitten eyes.
"Hey Stardust," Yusei chuckled, reaching down and picking up the kitten. The small tabby started purring. Just then, Yusei heard Kathryn calling his name. Yusei sighed. "We've got a long day ahead of us, Stardust." And if only Yusei knew how right he was.
Sooo, how was that? I must remind you all, because I can, that there are three more chapters left. So, reviewing makes those chapters appear here sooner, if I may remind you. So, um, please, if you could, leave a review? It makes the author know that their story isn't just some story on some website, it makes them feel happy and want to update it more. Thank you all, though, readers and reviewers.
