AN: Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've last updated but School has been pretty hectic and now stole there was something going on with my left eye. I'm really starting to think the universe is against me making fan fiction or something! I was going to update yesterday but had to babysit my little sister. -_-

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal. Or apparently the free time to be able to write fan fiction about it!

In the last chapter we saw #96 memory of Kagami and left it off when Kagami was planning to kill him. Now on with the chapter!

#96 watched in fear as Kagami came closer and closer, the mad look still in is eyes. The clone seemed to disappear for a few seconds before reappearing behind #96. Before he can react the clone grabbed both his wrists and and pulls them behind his back and catching them both in one of his hands. The clone's other hand went around #96's neck and started to slowly squeeze until it's claws started to dig into #96's neck and make it nearly impossible to breathe. Everyone could here #96 thinking over and over again, " Please, no! I don't want to die! "

Kagami raised his hand that was now turned into an armored black claw like he was just about to deliver the first blow and possibly last blow to kill #96 . . . when he just stopped. He lowered his clawed hand and placed his non clawed one to his face as though deep in thought. " Hmm . . . . " hummed Kagami looking lost in thought. " A thought just occurred. "

He looked to #96 like he was expecting to ask him what and afraid to see what happened if he didn't he asked, " W-what's that? " His voices coming out forced and raspy from the clone's still held tightly around his neck.

" I'm glad you asked! " Said said Kagami as he clapped his clawed and non-clawed hands together in mock excitement and a smirk on his face. " Well you see, the whole point of using Astral is to collect his energy and use it to revive my god right? And now that Astral was injured and had to go back to Astral world Yuma will have to go there to get him back. " The madness shined in his eyes as he went on. " A whole world filled with energy similar to what Astral is made of! My plans will be moved up so much sooner than expected! And it's all thanks to you! " Kagami pointed at #96.

" S-so does that m-mean you'll let me go? " #96 said with his voice still weak from the clone still holding his neck in it's vice like grip.

Kagami gave a deep inane laugh. " Not even close! If I let you go then you might really kill Astral and I'm afraid I just can't risk that. But. . . " Kagami walked closer to #96 and the clone. " I will give you a choice. "

" W-what choice? " Said #96 in barely a whisper.

Kagami gave him a smirk. " You can either A. Agree to work for me as my underling or B. Die. " To prove his point Kagami put his clawed hand in #96's face.

After a long pause #96 finally said, " Fine. I'll work for you. " Without another word Kagami snapped his fingers and the clone dissolved into thin air.

He then reached his clawed hand out to #96. " If you really agree to work for me then take my hand " With a grimace on his face #96 took Kagami's hand. A dark purple energy came out of his hand and started to wrap itself around his neck. The energy then harden itself to become the strange black pendant that #96 had hanging around his neck.

" What the hell is this!? " #96 demanded.

" Think of it as a collar on a pet. " Kagami said smugly with his now normal hands. " This way I can now watch your every move and keep you under control. "

" What do you mean keep me under control? " #96 asked nervously.

The huge smirk became bigger on Kagami's face" Let's just say if you do anything without my say so, especially trying to kill Astral while I still need his power, that collar will send enough energy through your body to tear you apart piece by piece until there was nothing left. " The madness returned to his eyes slowly as he said that.

" Now what? " Asked #96.

" For now you just stay here until I need, hidden from everyone else. Like my own little secret. " He then started laughing madly and singing " Got a secret can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save. Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave. If I show you than I know you won't tell what I've said. cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. " The whole time #96 just watched in confusion.

" Now that's enough of that. Just go back to sleep until I need you. " Kagami placed his hand on top of #96's head aand he fell unconscious to the ground.

And with that the memory ended and everything faded to a bright white. No one could face #96 after seeing what he had to go threw with Kagami. After a while Akari spoke up. " Did anyone else notice how he created clones and sang just like Vector,s Shirudo? "

" Yeah. " Said Kaito. " But why? "

" Well there is one possibility. " Alit said hesitantly.

" No! " Screamed Vector. " Don't you dare say it! "

" Say what? " asked Akari.

Shark gave a deep sigh. " When someone like Don Thousand steals a soul they not only get their power but a part of their personality. "

Kaito looked stunned. " Wait! You don't mean? "

" Yes " Said Shark sadly. " There's a large chance that Kagami stole our Shirudo's soul. "

AN : The song used was Secret by the Pierces. Well that's all for now everyone. Please review!
