Hello to my awesome readers! I am so so so so sorry for not updating sooner. Sadly I cannot blame my lack up updating on writer's block, but on my own damn laziness. So, I sencericly apologize for my procrastination. I would just like to thank everyone who is reading this story, and a special thank you to the following people that reviewed the last chapter:

atemfan1: Yeah, that definitely wasn't one of the smartest things. There will be a deck soon. Either in this chapter or the next one.

Skyline Stanza: There will definitely be some synchro monsters.

Agent of the Divine One: Alyssa spilling her biggest secret is certainly going to add a few twists into the story.

Thebladeofchaos: Thanks, I feel a lot better now. Yeah, Tanner couldn't get away with all that stuff.

Flamaij: Thanks. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Personally, I didn't think that it was all that great.

Nigsea: There will be a deck, but I'm still undecided on the theme of it though, so it will probably be in the next chapter.

Nanoflash: Yeah, school isn't the greatest. I'm on spring break right now but I don't know how much I will be updating because I'm going away for a couple days for my birthday. The Yusei and Aki pairing isn't bad, but I just can't seem to like it. Don't know why either.

Akira1878: I'm glad you like the story.

SpanishPirate: I'm glad you liked the hint. I was wondering if anyone would pick up on it.

Love Pugs: Thanks.

On on with the story, and I would also like to apologize for the shortness of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh 5D's or Solus. He belongs to Agent of the Divine One.

Chapter Eight: Secrets Revealed

"Wait what do you mean by stuck?" Rua asked.

My eyes widened when I realized what I had said. I looked me to see everyone's, except Ruka's, faces were rather curious. Yusei and Tanner also looked suspicious.

'Aw shit,' I thought to myself, 'how the heck am I going to get out of this?'

"Yeah, Lys, what do you mean by stuck?" Solus asked, while grinning like a chesire cat and wearing a you-are-so-busted look on his face. Cocky son of a bitch. I'm sorry, but there are times when he can be a real nusense.

"Solus," I said, rather snarled, at him, "Unless you want to have a black eye and some missing teeth, I would suggest that you shut up right now!"

"Okay, okay. Sheesh, Lys, you really need to lighten up," Solus said, raising his hands as if to some how shield himself.

"Lighten up? Lighten UP!" I screamed at him in disbelief, "It's your damn fault that I'm in this mess!"

"How's it my fault? I didn't make you say anything. I didn't make that car hit you," Solus said, now looking pissed off at the fact that I would blame him for what happened to me.

PHWEET!

Solus and I both turned to see that Tanner had somehow gotten a hold of the blow horn again, and was now holding it in front of him with his hand on the button. "Would someone mind telling the rest of us what the heck is going on?"

Sighing, I sat up in the recliner, and glared at the carpet for a couple of minutes while I got my thoughts and emotions together. I shouldn't be mad. Well, I should, but not at these guys. It's like Solus just said, it's not their fault that I am stuck here. If I ever found out who did this to me, they had better find a really good hiding spot because I will personally rip them limb from limb.

"Alyssa, you okay?" I heard Ruka ask, which snapped me back to reality. Not like it was any better or anything.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine," I said, "What were we talking about?"

"What you meant by being stuck here," Yanagi said.

"And don't lie to us again," Tanner said coolly.

"What the hell do you mean again?" I cried out, while standing up. I had all of my weight on one foot, and just used the toes of my foot that was in the cast to balance myself. "I never lied to you the first time."

"Well, you didn't exactly tell us the truth," Yusei said.

I turned my head so that I could look him square in the eye. "For your information, everyone just assumed that I had been beaten and left in an alleyway." I then turned to look at everyone as I said, "You want to know what I mean by being stuck here? Well, here it is.

I'm not from here. Heck, I don't even know if I'm in the same dimension as I used to be. I was at a volleyball tournament in a city where they were also holding a Yugioh convention. I had promised that I would take my little sister to it, so I did. We were running late, and had just gotten back to the school when my sister realized that she had forgotten her purse back at the convention. I ran back to the center to get her purse. I was really going to be late for my next volleyball game, so I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. I was running across the street because it said that I could. The last thing I remember before waking up in that alley was a horn blaring and seeing headlights coming towards me. Now, I'm stuck here."

The end of my story was greeted with silence. I sat back down on the recliner.

"So, does that mean you're dead?" Rua asked after a couple of minutes.

"Rua!" Ruka said, but I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"No, I'm not dead," I said, trying to be calm even though there was a wave of emotions washing over me. "This is the part that gets tricky. You see, I'm in a coma. My body is actually back in my own world, and this could all be a dream. This doesn't feel like a dream though because I can feel pain, emotion and everything else that you are probably not supposed to feel in dreams. It's like I have two separate bodies."

"So, how do we tie into all of this?" Yanagi asked, looking rather fascinated by all of this.

"Well, from where I come from, none of you really exist. You are all just part of a new chapter in the Yugioh series," I said, "This is just a guess, but I think I'm dreaming about this because your series was the last actual thing that I had paid some attention to before I was hit by the car."

"So, how do you know you're in a coma if you are stuck here?" Rua asked carefully.

"It seems that when I go to sleep, I don't actually dream. I just go back to where my body is and I see all the stuff that is going on around me, and because of that, I found out that I had only four weeks to get back to my world before they pull the plug on the machines that are keeping me some what alive," I said. I could feel my anger dissolve as I talked about what happened to me, and by now I was close to tears.

I had never given up on the hope that this whole thing could just be one big nightmare, and that one of these days I would open my eyes and see my sister and mother and father. Now that I had actually talked about everything, I could feel that last bit of hope fading away. I had no idea how to get home, and with each passing day, the chances of me getting home grew slimmer and slimmer.

"Alyssa, what do you mean by had?" Ruka asked me gently.

"Well," I said before I felt my voice crack. I cleared my throat before continuing, "Before I woke up this morning, I had over heard doctors talking to my parents. I guess my parents had asked them about my medical state if I woke up. I didn't hear that part but what I did hear was that the chances of me waking up are getting slimmer and slimmer. Right now I have in between two and a half and three weeks to regain consciousness."

I had to look down then because I could feel my eyes well up with tears. I didn't want them to see me cry. Especially not Tanner. However, as hard as I tried, I just couldn't get the tears to leave my eyes. I stood up and quickly grabbed one of my crutches off of the couch and headed towards the door. If my ankle had been better, I probably would have run out of the room, but I had no choice but to hobble out.

When I reached the bathroom, I quietly shut the door behind me after I had entered. I leaned against the door for a few seconds before I slid down onto the floor. Whenever I was feeling down or sad, I would always go to the park and sit beside this big oak tree that had been planted by my parents.

Thinking about home and the tree seemed to make the dam snap, and all the tears that I had been holding back came flooding out. I cried out of despair, loneliness, anger, sadness and hopelessness. I had never felt this bad before, and as I sat there on the bathroom floor crying, I could feel my wounded heart shatter into a million tiny pieces.
