Akisolarwing68: As promised I finished with this chapter for now. I have posted Crystal Hearts (if you read this) and I might have tookin too long to actually post this chapter so I apologize for that.

Always, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, because clearly I just don't. Enjoy!

Link Between Time

Familiar Faces

I could feel myself being drifted off into what seemed to be nowhere. It feels rather like I've been here for too long. Or at least that's how it felt to me.

I woke up, soon feeling a growing pain inside my head. Strange? It didn't seem as if I was sleeping. I must have been unconsious for a long time. I tried to retaliate the things that happened so far. My morning 'late' rutine that I always have. Going off to school like a normal girl would do. Nagging and ignoring Clair, like Jackel and me always do. Having the sort of discussion with my mom. Having that reunion, then talking with Crow...soon after that...things went a bit freaky from then on I suppose?

But...I couldn't help see where I was. Sure enough I was in a desolated place, filled with boxes after boxes after boxes; probably filled with trash I suppose? I looked up to see that the sky was cloudy, meaning about to rain soon. I tried to stand up, easy enough so my head wouldn't hurt as much.

'Having a bit of trouble, honey?'

That voice! ''Felgrand? Is that you?" noticing the dragon infront of me.

'Why yes it is me? You hit your head a bit too hard or what to even recognizing me, honey?'

"Sorry Felgrand, is that I forgot I brought you along with me"

'That's a bit cold of you, honey' the dragon said, a bit discouraged.

"Well now since you are here, do you know this place by anychance?"

'Not that I recall? Why don't we check it out, honey?'

"Good idea"

It had probably been a few hours as we roamed through the city streets. Turns out we where in an alley next to a store. Go figure. As we went further in to the town, I soon realized where we were. New Domino City.

"But how could we have gotten back home?"

'Seems a bit different, honey. Look' guiding me to a nearby newspaper stand.

"It says...New Domino City and Satellite have...become one?"

'What does that mean, honey?'

"My father said, he and his friends helped rebuild the bridge to connet both together. But...this was supposed to hapened long time ago. Why are they giving this out right now?"

'Look at the date!' the golden dragon said.

"What! But this can't be? I'm...I'm"

'In the past'

"Hey lady! Wake up!...Man I think she's out cold?" a male voice said.

I could hear a voice...but it was different from Felgrand's voice. I could feel two strong arms, trying to shake me. But that was just making my headache return to me, out of all the luck why now?

"Urgh...what's the big idea?...Ow my head" I said grabbing hold of my head so it won't fall of me.

"Oh good you have awoken, really lady, you shouldn't sleep here out in the open like that? I almost ran over you for crying out loud"

"Well you should hav-" It coudn't be! "Crow?"

"Huh? You know my name? Strange, I haven't recalled ever meeting you before?" He was wearing a yellow jacket, reading Quick Bird Delivery. Under it, his same orange shirt and green pants and brown boots.

"...Uh well, you see I, uh..." I could feel myself stuttering. I mean what should I tell him. Its not like me to stutter for crying out loud!

"Well a proper thank you would have been nice, you know" he said.

"What! Why?"

"If it wasn't for me, you could have been run over from anybody else"

"I don't give thanks, especially to you for that matter. And if I recall, you should be saying that to me because you are the one that almost ran over me"

"What?"

"Ha! Got you, so say it now" I demanded it.

'You two act like a couple of kids fighting for who knows what'

"Now its not the time Felgrand" I muttered angrily.

"Who are you talking to?" he said confused.

"Nothing! So come on, what are you waiting for?" trying to change the subject.

"Sorry but no can do, I got to get back to work. I'm running a bit late" as he grabbed hold of his helmet.

"Wait! What? You just can't leave me here?"

"What? Don't you live around here?"

"No, apparently not...I came here shortly after"

"Oh, wait I know. Here" handing me a piece of paper. "This is the place where me and my friends live. Just go to that place and say Crow sent you there, okay?"

"But I"

"Just go there okay" as he started the engine on. "Oh and that's from my apology from before" as he soon left.

'He seems more mature, honey' he said mokingly.

"Shut up" I muttered. That Crow, always giving out some way to repay the favor. Looks like he's still the same as the future Crow.

"Here's the place" as I was looking at a building, the letters reading Poppo Time. It was a clock shop that I recall Zora owned the store. And that she let my father and his two friends live here.

'Nothing much has change here, honey' the golden dragon said.

"Yeah, no kidding" I said. Surely my father would be here now.

As I proceded to enter the garage, I heard voices, which seemed to be alot. I took a deep breath and entered only to see the noices shut off and a heard of eyes staring at me.

"Who are you?" a tall blonde man said. He appeared to be Jack, do to the familiar australian acsent. He seemed to be the same as the future Jack, same clothes same every thing.

"I'm Sinclair, Crow asked me to come here" I said.

"Crow told you to what?" Jack said angrily.

"Calm down Jack, let her speak" a raven-haired man said. That was dad of course. He had the same facial features, with the whole mark of course. But he never wore a blue jacket with orange handi-cap garments. Nor brown boots. "So why did he sent you here for?"

"Well, you see he found me unconsious infront of the newspaper stall. And he offered me a place to stay seeing as how I have no place to go for the time being"

"Nuh, uh. We are not taking another person in. We have enough as it is" Jack said.

"You are so cold Jack" a magneta haired girl said. Mom? She had on this weird hair clip on. If you even call it a hair clip? Same goes for her clothes. It seemed like a victorian red dress, with black gloves on. Her...chest was slightly showing. Not very...mom-like I suppose.

"Hey, maybe she could stay with us Ruka?" a green haired boy said.

"Rua, we can't just let a random person come into our house like that" said a green haired girl.

Twins? Meaning...

"Oh, how cute!"

"Wha-" both kids said.

"How adorable you two are. So this is how you two were when you were young" I said hugging them.

"Um, do we know you?" Rua said kind of blushing with the contact.

'Honey, we mustn't let them know we are from the future'

"Huh?" Ruka said noticing the spirit.

"I um...sorry about that" I said letting go of the twins. "I kinda mistook you for two other kids that sort of resemble you two"

"Um, was that a spirit just now?" the small green haired girl said.

Huh? A spirit? Meaning Felgrand! Could she have heared of what he said just now? "Uh what spirit?"

"Oh, uh never mind"

"So, Sinclair, where did you come from?" Aki said eyeing me suspiciously.

"Um, I don't recall knowing where exactly...I just sort of came" not knowing what to say.

"So you just came like 'poof' there, is that right?" she said.

"That's exactly...though I don't know how to get there" saying the last bits in a whisper.

"What was that?"

"Nothing! So um, who are you all by any chance?" Although I already know all of you.

"Well as you can see, I'm Aki and this is Yusei" pointing at my dad. "Theses two are Rua and Ruka. This here mister arrogant, is Jack"

"That would be Jack Atlas, to you!"

Soon the door was open to reveal Crow has arrived.

"There you are" Jack while walking up to Crow. "Tell your girlfriend we can't have her staying here. We have enough room as it is"

That part got me caught up...did he just say me and Crow are...

"Wait! Hold on there Jack" the blackwing duelist said. "I just barely met her"

I could see a bit of red forming through his cheeks.

"Don't be cruel Jack" Yusei said. "I'm sure we could work this out for her to stay here"

"Don't tell me you have fallen for her too?"

"Th-that's not what I'm trying to say?" he flustered. "R-right Aki?"

"Hmph...are you?" Clearly not getting it.

"HOLD IT!" I shouted. Everyone then stopped what they were doing and looked at me. "I mean I know Crow found me out there unconsious and all, doesn't mean we are 'one' right ooff the bat. I just came here so I could have a place to stay until I figure things out clearly, okay?"

"I still say we should take her to our place, Ruka"

"Rua!" his sister scolded.

"That would be a great idea" Jack said. "That way we won't have to see them making out somewhere"

"JACK!" everyone said.

"I'm just saying"

"Well how about you stay at my place, my parents are off on a far away trip anyway" Aki said.

"Good idea Aki" Yusei said.

"Hmph, don't flatter yourself too much Yusei. I'm only doing it so you won't have to see her every morning when you wake up"

I wondered if that's how they acted on their wedding day?

"So its decided then, she'll live with you then" Crow said.

"Afraid so" I said. Today afficially, I will stay at my mother's house...oh goody.

Akisolarwing68: Might be a bit short, I don't know. Well hope it wasn't a bit boring or unenthustiastically for you. But its your opinion on that.

Please review, comment, question, and thank you.
