"YOUR STUPID!" He yelled. "YOU SHOULD DIE!" He yelled. Hands tied behind her back, she quivered in the corner. Blood was everywhere, Mokuba staring at her with fear. He came in with a knife. "DIE!" He yelled. And stabbed her in the throat.

"NO!" Aina yelled. She quickly sat up, panting, sweat dripping down her face. "Aina, are you ok?" Serenity asked, holding her hand. Aina looked around, she was on the living room couch, it was night time, and boy with long black hair was napping on the sofa.

Yugi and the others were nowhere to be seen. "W-what happened?" She asked. "Well, you passed out and fell of the railing, Duke caught you, you had a high fever, and I think you just had a nightmare," Serenity explained. "Where are the others?" Aina asked.

"They went to talk to your brother, they thought you had enough," Serenity replied. "What!" She yelled. Duke was startled and woke up.

Aina got up, but lost her balance, and Duke caught her, again. "Whoa, you've gotta be careful," he said, and made her sit down on the couch. "T-thanks," she said. Duke nodded.

"I'm Duke, one of Yugi's close friends." He explained. "I-I'm Aina," she said, looking at the floor, the nightmare replaying in her head.

Serenity left, and got a glass of water. "Here," she handed Aina the cup. Aina gulped it down, the last time she had drank water was the day before, at 5:00 in the morning.

"Do you want another one?" Serenity asked. "Yeah..." Aina said. Serenity got another glass of water. "Your thirsty," Serenity giggled. "Yeah, Seto apparently 'forgot' to give me dinner for the past two days," Aina explained.

"Do you want anything to eat? Joey always stuffs the fridge with food," Serenity exclaimed. "It's ok, I'm not really hungry," Aina replied.

Aina winced, and clutched her arm. "Are you ok?" He asked. She shook her head. "Serenity, do you have any rubbing alcohol?" She asked. Serenity nodded, and got some cotton with the rubbing alcohol.

"What are you going to go?" Duke asked, feeling worried. "Something crazy," she said. Duke helped Aina to the backyard, and brought the cotton and solution. "One last thing, I need a knife, or a pair of small scissors," Aina said, but in a calm voice.

They sat outside on the concrete porch. Serenity brought a small knife. "Thanks, and if the sight of blood irritates you, than don't look," she said. Serenity's eyes were full of fear so she went inside, "Whoa, whoa, hold your horses, if your armnis infected, we should go to the hospital!" Duke said, trying to take away the knife. "Don't worry, I do it all the time, when a brother like Seto does stuff like this, I got pretty used to it, it just hurts a little," she explained. Duke hesitated, but then he let go.

Aina took a deep breath, and cut open the wound again. "Oww!" She winced, and quickly continued. She wet the cottons and wiped it, but blood traveled down her arm. Duke watched the process, and was terrified of what was going to happen. Then Aina started to hum the same beautiful tune, and the wound glowed blue, then closed.

"H-how did you do that?" He asked. "I don't know really," she replied. Aina got the hose, and cleaned the porch. Then they went back inside.

Serenity was sitting in the living room, waiting. They all sat down in silence. Then the front door opened. Joey walked in, and closed the door. Serenity walked over, and hugged her brother. Aina wished she was like that with Seto. "What happened big bro?" She asked. He sighed, and sat on the other side of Aina.

"Rich boy said he was going to track you down, even though just kicked you out. I don't know what to do. But you can stay here, it's fine," Joey said. Aina felt like she was going to cry. "G-good night," she said, and went to bed. Duke felt bad, and a bit in love.

Aina went up to Serenity's room, and slept on the mattress on the floor. 'Tomorrow, I'm running away. I'm going to America, I'll use the money that I've been saving up, it should be enough,' she thought, and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Aina woke up at 4:00 a.m. Serenity was still sleeping, and there was no sound in the house. Aina quickly but carefully got her bag, and left the house, leaving a note on her mattress.

She was scared of what was going to happen with her, but she felt it was going to be safe. She followed signs and roads until she got to the airport.

She bought an economy class ticket, and went to the waiting lounge. Her flight would at 6:00 a.m. and it was 5:30.

Serenity opened her eyes, it was 5:30 in the morning, way too early for anyone to be awake, but she had to make breakfast for Joey, and pack him his lunch. She got up, and looked down to try to find Aina, but she wasn't there, except a note. Serenity picked it up, it read:

Dear Serenity,

I'm sorry to say this, but I ran away.

I felt like I'll be too much trouble for you and Joey.

Tell the others I said goodbye, and I appreciate their help.

I might see you soon, but I'm not sure.

I'm going to America, far from Seto.

And if you don't mind, give Mokuba a hug from me.

If Seto asks, just give him this paper, and next week, give him the paper I put under your bed, please take care of it until then, it's Seto's birthday present.

Thanks a lot Serenity! I'll miss you!

Sincerely, Aina.

Serenity ran to Joey's room"Joey, Joey! Wake up! Aina ran away! She's going to America!" She whisper shouted. Joey woke up, and fell off his bed with a thud. "She what!" He yelled. Then ran to the phone to call Yugi.

"Hi, this is Yugi Motou speaking," he said with a yawn. "It's Joey! Aina ran away!" He yelled over the phone. "What! What do you mean?"
