Yami and Yugi snuck to the backstage.

"I don't know about this Pharaoh." Yugi mummered, standing beside Yami in spirit.

"Sorry Yugi…but I'm facing this as a "now or never" situation." Yami whispered as they moved to the side of the stage, watching Cat.

"Pharaoh! Look! Are you sure that's Cat?" Yugi asked, pointing at the short blond hair.

Yami paused for a moment.

"It has to be. She must have changed her hair so we couldn't find her. But I know that it's her. I recognize her voice." He said.

"But, a lot of singers can sound similar. How can you be so sure? Besides, you've only heard Cat sing once!" Yugi protested.

"I don't know Yugi…but it's like her voice is stuck in my head and I could recognize it anywhere. Plus, I figure that it may have to do with Luna again. If Cat can sing so well, then Luna must have to." Yami said. "Besides, Cat told me in the virtual world that it ran in her family."

"Makes sense…I guess." Yugi said hesitantly.

"We'll just have to find out if we found the right girl or not." Yami said.

The crowd was cheering and Cat bowed.

Opportunity.

Yami casually walked onto the stage towards Cat.

Cat didn't notice him until she saw most of the crowd, looking his way. She turned and spotted Yami walking towards her. His face looked serious; almost angry.

Cat gasped, taking a step back.

How did he find her?!

As Yami came closer, Cat took another step back. She looked like she was about to make a run for it.

The crowd went silent as they watched this.

Cat quickly turned around and attempted to make a run for it, but Yami saw this coming and turned his walk into a dash.

He grabbed her in a way that almost looked like a hug.

So people weren't watching, Yami took her to the backstage, not changing his grip on her.

"Cat! What is wrong with you?!" He snapped.

Cat struggled to get free from his arms.

"Let go!" Cat cried instead of answering.

"No! Not until you tell me what's going on!" Yami said in a stern voice.

Cat continued to struggle.

"You already know!" Cat cried.

"Wha?" Yami asked, wondering what she meant.

While this happened, Cat finally broke free and made a quick run for it.

Yami was about to follow her, but two security guards stepped in front of him.

"Sir. I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave this area." One of them said.

Yami frowned; he wasn't going to let these men stand in his way. He was about to get past them until Yugi appeared in spirit form again.

"Pharaoh, you'd better listen to them. Don't even think about trying to get past them. We know what Cat looks like. She shouldn't be too hard to find now. Let's just go." Yugi said.

Yami sighed. "Alright." He said.

Cat hugged herself as she watched the two security guards lead Yami away. She felt tears form in her eyes, but she quickly shook it off.

Yami stood outside the area where the competition was being held.

"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Yugi asked, still in spirit form.

"I can only hope so." Yami said. "All we have to do is follow her to the place where she's staying. And then, once we reach her, we can hopefully find out what's gotten into her and bring her back."

"I guess we'll have to see." Yugi said.

They waited for a little while. Since Cat was the last singer, they didn't have to wait for any other competitors to sing.

It was about an hour and a half until people began to leave the area. It wasn't too long until Yami finally spotted Cat.

Thankfully, she was headed the other way and her back was turned to them.

Yami began to follow her, hiding when necessary.

After about half a mile, Cat finally walked into the hotel she was staying in. Yami stayed outside the hotel for a little while so Cat could reach her room.

Once he was sure it was safe, he walked in and approached the counter.

"Can I help you, sir?" The lady at the front counter asked.

"Yes, I need to know what room Cat Tsuru is staying in?" Yami asked. "And I'll also need a spare key."

The lady eyed him suspiciously.

"Why?" She asked. "Who are you?"

"I…er…I-I'm her cousin!" Yami said, hoping the lady would buy his story. "I was supposed to meet her here."

"She didn't mention anything to us." The lady said.

"I'm not surprised. She always expects people to know these things automatically." Yami said.

The lady sighed.

"Alright. She's staying in room "218" on the second floor." She said before handing him a key. "Here's the spare key."

"Thank you." Yami said before making his way to the staircase.

Cat was packing her stuff.

She had won the competition and was getting ready to go to the airport. She was ready to go home.

Cat decided that she was going to leave tomorrow afternoon.

She paused what she was doing when she heard someone messing with the door handle at her door. Someone was unlocking her door!

Cat quickly turned around and watched the door.

Who could it be? One of the staff members? No…usually they knock and wait for you to answer the door.

Then…who…?

Once again, she gasped and covered her mouth when she found out that it was Yami.

Yami shut the door behind him without turning around. He locked it.

"Why…why are you following me?!" Cat cried.

Yami began to advance towards her.

"I want to know why you ran away." He said simply.

"You already know why!" Cat exclaimed, taking her steps back.

"No, I don't! If I knew why, then I wouldn't be here, asking you!" Yami snapped.

Cat wasn't sure how to respond to that as she found herself backed up against a wall.

She pressed herself up against it as Yami came closer.

"Please…just explain yourself." Yami said.

"I…don't need to." Cat said.

Yami had finally reached her and trapped her between him and the wall. He pressed his hand against the wall beside her, one hand on each side of her. Not intending on letting her escape.

"Yes. You do. How can I let you go if you don't explain why you're running away?" Yami asked.

Cat looked to the side.

"Bakura…told me everything." She said.

"What?" Yami asked.

Cat faced him, frowning.

"He told me everything! How you guys were only using me just so you can get your memory back!" She cried. "All you guys saw me as, was a key! And once you were through with me, you were just going to throw me away! I refuse to be treated that way!"

Yami looked puzzled.

"Bakura told you that?" He asked.

Cat nodded.

"That's ridiculous." Yami said. "And it's a lie. You are truly our friend. We would never use you and then just throw you away."

"How can I trust you?" Cat asked.

"How can you trust Bakura? He has an evil spirit inhabiting his Millennium Ring that will do anything to get his hands on all the Millennium Items." Yami explained. "And he knows that you might get in his way. He doesn't want that. So he lied to you."

Cat stared at him.

"I still don't see how I can still trust you. Or anyone for that matter." She said.

Yami sighed and glanced at the small box sitting next to her bed. He walked over to that and opened it up. Just as he thought.

He pulled out her silver cartouche and walked back over to Cat.

"Because of this." He said, holding it up to her face.

Cat stared at it.

"Because apparently, your ancestor, Luna, was extremely important to me." Yami said. "And I would never…let anything happen to her descendant. Because flowing through your veins is not only your blood…but Luna's blood as well."

Cat's face expression softened a bit.

"I would never even dream of using someone who is connected to my past and then throwing them away." Yami continued. "They will always be my precious friends. And one of the reasons is, because they're the closest thing I have to my life, my memory, my home."

Cat sighed, as she saw nothing but truth when she looked at him.

She looked down a little.

"I…don't know." She said, calmed down.

"Cat." Yami said before lifting her chin to make her look at him. "Bakura lied to you. We would never, in our lives, use you. You are our friend. And we love our friends."

Cat sighed again as Yami let go of her chin. Cat then leaned her head against his shoulder, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Let's…go home." She said quietly. "I want to go home…with my friends."

The ceiling again.

Cat was finally back at Yugi's house. And it was nighttime.

Yugi was, again, fast asleep in his bed. Cat was once AGAIN having a hard time sleeping.

She sighed and messed with one of her bangs.

How was she going to explain this to her other friends?

Never the less…she would find some excuse.

An hour later, Cat was finally able to find sleep; and once she was in deep sleep, something strange happened.

Her silver cartouche, sitting next to Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, started to glow faintly.

Slowly, a figure appeared in front of the desk the cartouche and puzzle were sitting on. It was Luna!

Luna turned towards Cat, noting her new hair.

"She regretted making that decision." She said to herself, her voice soft and beautiful.

Quietly, Luna made her way over to Cat before kneeling down. She then shut her eyes and reached out, touching Cat's hair.

Her hand glowed for a moment.

Once that was done, Luna re-opened her eyes and stood up, smiling.

"Good Luck." Luna whispered before slowly disappearing.

"Ugh…when did I fall asleep?"

Cat stretched her arms and slowly sat up. Sighing, she rubbed her eyes tiredly before getting up and slowly making her way to the bathroom.

Once she reached the bathroom, she shut the door behind her and looked into the mirror.

She just stood there for a couple of minutes. Staring at her tired expression.

Another minute passed…Cat's scream filled the whole building.

Awake and Alarmed, Yugi and Solomon rushed to the bathroom and threw the door open.

"Cat!" Solomon cried.

"Are you okay?!" Yugi asked.

It took them a brief moment to realize what she had screamed at.

Cat's hair was no longer short, blond and blue…it was back to normal! Long and brown!

"How…did this happen?" Cat asked, staring at her reflection wide-eyed.

"That's what I want to know." Solomon said, also wide-eyed.

"Cat…how do you think that happened?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know!" Cat said.

Everyone was in thought for a moment.

"Cat…do you think…maybe…that it was Luna?" Yugi suggested.

"Luna?" Solomon asked.

"I'll explain later, Grandpa." Yugi said.

"It…could have been." Cat said, looking like she was in deep thought.

"You kids can discuss this. I need to get ready and open the shop." Solomon said before walking off. "Tell me your guys' conclusion!"

Cat and Yugi stood there, thinking.

"It makes sense, doesn't it?" Yugi asked.

Cat nodded.

"It does." She said.

The two looked at each other a smiled weakly.

"I'll bet you that was it. It was Luna." Cat said.

"Yeah." Yugi agreed with a smile.
