*1 1/2 Weeks later*

Weira hopped out the front door, tugging her jacket on. I followed shortly after, looking at her. Something's not quite right...I can tell.

"Hey Wei, why all of a sudden do you wanna take a walk?"

"I just wanna."

"I don't know..." Something's up. I know it.

"Y-Y-You don't trust me?" Tears started welding up in her eyes. OKAY, SOMETHING'S NOT UP! o_o;

I quickly shook my head and forced a smile, picking her up. "Of course I trust you, Weira."

The frown she wore on her face instantly turned into a 'whole-hearted' smile, and her upbeat personality began to rise again. "Kay then! C'mon!"

Geez, this kid's strong. She instantly began pulling - scratch that, dragging me down the street behind her, staying silent. She looked the street back and fourth and bit her lip, pointing left down the street. "This way!"

She took off down the street, this time, not dragging me behind. Personally, it was a relief. The circulation returned to my wrist.

Then again, this girl was fast, and she could've been outta my sight in an instant. I took off after her, unsure of where I was being led. A big set up...It all seemed like a big set up.

Pausing at the corner as she finally stopped running infront of an alley way, I managed to catch enough of my breathe to not pass out. Spinning towards a bench I saw, I shrieked and hopped over to it, staring at a butterfly on there.

A bright, touch-me-not orange, with black patterned designs, sitting calmly on the bench. Monarch; definately. A rare sight for someplace like here. Very rare. I narrowed my eyes up at Weira and laughed nervously, stepping over to her. "Sorry. I almost forgot this was the time that we're spending together."

"It's okay. Look." She pointed at the alley, signaling for me to go in, and that she would follow suit. I cautiously stepped into the alley, and peered at the wall, my eyes feeling as if they could've fallen off my face.

It was...A big mural. In the corner were the signatures of Wei, Mr. Mutou, Yugi, Joey, Serenity, Tea, Ryou and Tristan.

In the center, was a picture of me, smiling - something I hadn't recognized in a long time - along with a few of my Insect cards as the corners. I stared at it for a long time.

With a long silence in it.

Weira finally decided to break the silence, and she grabbed my hand, squeezing it, and looking up at me curiously. "Do you like it?"

I felt my breathe catch in my throat as I attempted to speak. So many mixed emotions...So many words....

"I-....I love it." I felt a couple tears escape from my eyes; she saw them as well. Standing up on her tippy toes, she reached up and brushed the tears away from under my eyes, smiling.

Holding her hand, I looked out at the sunset. We'd ended up going out for ice cream after half an hour more of me staring, then had gone to the park. The sun was swirling with pink, orange and yellow and purple. It was beginning to get dark, yet I could safely say this day has passed slower than any other, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Feeling an eerie gaze upon me, I paused and spun around, only to see a duelist staring at me, his deck at hand. I paused as he advanced towards me, his eyes hard. "You're Weevil Underwood, are you not? Duel me."

"No," I stated simply, turning my head away from him. "Not today. I've got better things to do." I looked down at Weira, and she looked up at me, her eyes big and somewhat pleading. "It's okay. You can duel him."

"No," I repeated softly as we began back towards the game shop. "It's your turn to have my attention."

"Thank you, Weevil." She smiled, her eyes sparkling. "You're the best big brother ever."

"You're the best little sister ever." I pulled her into a tight hug and smiled, looking at her as she looked up at me.

"I missed you...While you were away; dueling. A lot of stuff happened. And Dad-" She paused suddenly, tears welding up in her eyes.

"What-What about Dad? What did he do to you?" Tears began to spill down her cheeks, and she fought back whimpers. No. She wasn't going to win this time, I had to know.

She shook her head and I swallowed my pride. It was my pride to not make her cry, but now...It had to be broken.

"No..." I murmured. "He-....He forced himself on you, didn't he?!"

She finally lost it. She began to wail uncontrollably, and I scooped her into my arms, muffling her cries as she sobbed into my shoulder. That bastard. That's what he was doing while I was gone...At least I knew now. I knew how treaturous that bastard could be.

But he wasn't going to get away with it.
