Hey! I am so so so so so sorry for not having updated this story in a long time. I was planning on doing that after exams ended, but then I got into Tokyo Mew Mew, and the rest is pretty much history. Anyways, I hope you guys liked the duel last chapter. Agent of the Divine One helped me a lot with the duel, so it was a whole lot better then if he hadn't so props to you, Agent of the Divine One. Well, other then that I don't really have much to say except thank you to the following people that reviewed:

Agent of the Divine One: Cute and fluffy could be a very scary combination.

Nigsea: I'm really glad you like this story. I try to update when I can.

Blue Hurricane: Oh yeah. Oops. I missed that error and I read over the chapter three times. How the heck is that possible? As for Alyssa not liking cute stuff, there are some things she will tolerate but not much.

Atemfan1: Yeah, I would be too.

WereDragon: I thought that making Alyssa win her first match would seem rather Mary Sueish since she barely knows how to even play the game. Gotta have comedy in a story, unless it's supposed to be dead serious or something. The cards in Solum's deck are from Agent of the Divine One, but I am guessing that he did make up those cards. I could be wrong though.

Flamaij: Don't worry she will definitely get better at dueling, but I am still undecided if I am going to put many of her duels in the story. Yusei may help her, but I can't tell you that. Sorry.

Falling-Angel24: Right now because I finally got off my lazy butt and updated this story.

Storm Uchiha: I'm glad that you like this story. I don't really care much for Yaoi, so I don't write it.

MusicAgainstTheHeart: Here's my oh so slow update.

5Five5: Nice name. ^-^ Anyways, I try to keep things interesting. :)

Roguefan01: Aw, thanks. *gives hug*

Leo112: Maybe. But I can't say.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yuigoh 5D's. If I did then a certain someone wouldn't have shown his ugly face again. If you want to know what I'm talking about watch the subbed Japanese version of Yugioh 5D's episode 60.

"You're actually going to make her wear that mask to the Fortune Cup?" Rua asked in disbelief.

"You bet," Tanner said. Solum just grinned.

"But-" Rua said, but I quickly interrupted him, "It's okay, Rua. It won't kill me to wear this thing for one day."

Rua just looked at me like I had lost my mind before shaking his head, "Okay, I guess it's your who is going to be wearing it anyways."

"Besides, think of it this way, Rua, we can always just stick her in a kennel if she gets to be to annoying," Tanner said try to make a joke out of it but not doing to well of a job.

"Hey, Rua, how about you and I have another duel to practice for the Fortune Cup," Yusei said. This seemed to do the trick. Rua instantly smiled and agreed rather enthusiastically.

"Wow, they are both really good," I commented to Ruka as we watched Rua's and Yusei's duel.

"Yes, but sometimes I wish Rua wouldn't be so...so..." said Ruka at a lose for what to calling the way her brother had been acting.

'I would personally call it cocky, but there is no way I am going to tell Ruka that,' I thought to myself as I just shrugged my shoulders in reply.

The duel ended a few minutes later with Yusei coming out as the victor. Rua just looked sad.

"Hey, Rua, think about it like this, you did way better then you did in your first duel against Yusei," Ruka said trying to cheer her brother up.

"She's right, Rua. Just keep practicing and you will always improve," Yusei said.

I couldn't really say anything because I didn't know how the first duel had gone, so I joined Solum, Tanner and Yanagi by the pool.

"That was a way better duel then before," Solum was saying to Tanner and Yanagi when I joined them.

"How did their first duel go? I asked while looking at the trio.

"Let's just say that Rua was being big headed," Solum said in a whisper so that Rua wouldn't hear.

"Oh," I muttered, "You mean like how Tanner acts every day?"

"Yeah that about it," Solum said with a laugh while Tanner just crossed his arms.

"You know I'm just kidding around right, Tanner?" I asked. Tanner just glared at me before laughing too.

"Yeah, I know you don't really mean it."

"Hey, Solum, guess who is going to meet us at the....WHOA!" Rua yelled as he slipped on a puddle. This caused him to crash into Solum, who was about to fall backwards into the pool. In an attempt to keep himself balanced, he had grabbed onto Tanner and they all landed in the pool.

As they surfaced, coughing and spitting out water, I tried my best to suppress my giggles which were building up.

"Rua, can't you ever just walk instead of running?" Ruka asked as she and Yusei joined me at the side of the pool. Rua just muttered sorry.

"YEOW!"

The outburst from Rua caused Ruka and I to jump.

"What is it?" Ruka asked in alarm. However, Rua didn't answer. He just pulled a frog out from his shirt. "Why is there frogs in our swimming pool?"

"Um, because they live in water," Ruka said while the giggles that I was trying to hold in burst out.

"I'm.....sorry......but.....that......was......to.....funny," I said between giggles while the people in the water hauled themselves out.

"No it wasn't," Solum said looking rather pissed, "Now I have to go home and change."

"Aw, poor baby," I said in a whiny voice which earned me a glare from Solum.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow at the Fortune Cup," he said before walking around to the front of the house.

"I think we should go inside before those two," Yusei said while jerking his thumb at Rua and Tanner, "catch a cold or something."

Everyone nodded and we all trooped indoors.

As Tanner and Rua headed upstairs to shower and change, I decided to ask Ruka why she didn't want to duel in the Fortune Cup.

"Hey, Ruka, how come your brother is dueling in your place?" I asked her, as I sat on the couch beside her. She had been watching television. Yanagi was busy looking at his cards, and I wasn't sure what Yusei was doing.

"You're going to think that it's crazy," Ruka said, looking down at her hands.

"I'm pretty sure that at this point, I would be stupid to find anything else crazy," I said with a smile as I gently coaxed her into telling me why she didn't want to duel.

"Well, she said before hesitating, but I didn't push her, "It's like this. I can see and speak to duel monsters when I duel, and dueling in general makes me very tired. Also, seeing duel monsters seems to tire me out more."

I took a moment to ponder what she had said before I replied. "You know what, Ruka, I believe you."

Ruka turned towards me, and just stared at me. This made me a little self conscious so I asked, "What?"

"Nothing," she said, shaking her head before getting up and walking towards the door. However, before she left, she turned around and gave me a hug.

"What was that for?" I asked a little surprised.

"For believing me, and not thinking that it's stupid," Ruka said before leaving to do who knows what.

"Thinking that it's stupid. Why would I think that?" I asked myself out loud, but jumped a foot in the air when I got an answer.

"Because most people don't believe Ruka when she tells them about it. They just thought that she was just make believing them because of her being in a coma," a voice from behind me said. I turned to see Yusei.

"Well, I'm in a coma right now and I am more then positive that I am not dreaming all this," I said while gesturing around me.

"You probably aren't," Yusei said, "But answer me this, when you wake up, will you tell anyone about it?"

I didn't answer right away because the truth is that I probably wouldn't tell anyone. They would all think I was crazy.

"No I probably won't," I said.

Then something else sunk in. He had said when I wake up, not if I wake up, which is what I had been saying to myself all along. Wow, that is pretty bad when someone has more faith in you then you do. But then again, I wouldn't really call it faith.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear Yusei's next question.

"Sorry. What did you say?" I asked, before feeling like a complete idiot for not paying attention.

"When is your appointment to remove your cast?" Yusei said repeating his question calmly.

"Oh, um, ten in the morning," I said.

Yusei just nodded before turning to leave the room. "Good night, Alyssa."

"Good night, Yusei," I said quietly as I watched him leave the room.

Well, that's the eleventh chapter. The Fortune Cup will be the next one, and once again I am so so so so so sorry for taking so long to update this story. I feel really really bad, and I am sorry if this chapter was crap. I just wrote it so that I could get out of my some what writer's block for this story.
