So stupid me didn't send the first half of this to my friend TV when I needed him to do a fight scene in this but boy did I pay for it. Flash was stolen and I'm stuck redoing this. Please love it. The next chapter we start the beginning of the anime.

Chapter 3-The Black Thorn

Akiyuki glared at the good doctor from across the table. He just told the New Domino boy that he was going to be looked after by Team Satisfaction.

"Watch them give me up in a heartbeat."

"Now, they won't do that, I promise," Dr. Schmidt said

"Whatever, when are they getting here?"

"Soon," a knock echoed through the house. "Or now."

Getting up from the table, Akiyuki went to where his stuff was. He picked up his jacket, his fingers ghosting over where he remembered the hole to be. Martha stitched it and he still couldn't find where the hole use to be. He sighed and pulled the jacket over his shoulders, as his injured shoulder was in a sling.

"They are so going to give me up in a heartbeat."

As Yusai knocked on the door, she turned to Crow, who stood next to her, saying, "ok Crow, try not to go all insane when you see him ok? He's most likely not going to trust us and I'm not planning on chasing him down when you scare him off."

"I resent that accusation. Look, I won't scare him off ok? I'll be nice, promise."

The door opened and they were invited in by the Doctor.

"Thank you, again girls, for doing this."

"No problem. So where's Akiyuki?" Crow asked

The said boy decided to make his presence known and step up next to the doctor. Without sawdust to cloud her vision, Yusai could see his cat eye shaped brown eyes clearly. They held such sadness in them.

"Hi, I'm Crow, it's nice to meet you." Crow said with a huge smile on her face

The smile threw him off. The last time he had seen a smile that bright, it was stolen before he could do anything.

"Here, let me get your bag," Without waiting for confirmation, Crow took Akiyuki's bag and dragged him out of the house. "See you later Dr. Smidet."

"Crow, wait a minute. See you later doctor, Crow wait." Yusai yelled to her ginger haired friend

Akiyuki looked at the large buildings as Crow dragged him to the Team Satisfaction HQ.

'I think the buildings look so big because I'm always on the rooftops.' Akiyuki thought

"Here we go, welcome to Team Satisfaction's HQ. Your new home till you're feeling better." Crow opened the door alerting Jack and Kalin to their presence

"Hi, Akiyuki, nice to meet you. I'm Kalin."

All the smiles being pointed in his direction made him feel uncomfortable. Akiyuki felt the biggest need to head for a rooftop

"Whatever, he's here can we go now?" Jack snapped. He still wasn't happy about the sawdust he got in the eye because of Akiyuki's entrance.

"Right. Crow, you get to look after Akiyuki. The rest of us have a duel to get to."

"See you later." After the other 3 members left, Crow turned to Akiyuki, "you'll be sleeping on the couch. Yusai tends to sleep in that computer chair and the boys sleep on the floor or switch with the other chair."

Akiyuki sat on the couch, mulling over how soft it was despite its wear and tear. He lay down and in minutes was fast asleep. Crow gave a small smile, putting Akiyuki's bag on the table next to her and began to redo her deck.

After about half an hour, Crow realized her friends would be thirsty when they got back. She grabbed a water cooler from the chest under the table and went to the back of the house where a water pump was. As she filled the container, she thought she heard something on the roof but ignored it, because she thought that her imagination was going overboard with the Rooftop Runner inside. Of course when she went inside, she saw Akiyuki was gone.

"Oh crap! Where did he go?"

"Where did who go?" Crow spun around to see her friends coming through the door. Jack glared at his gingered haired friend, "Where did who go?"

"Um, no one?"

"Uh huh, then where's our house guest Crow?" Kalin asked.

"Uh, um, I-I don't know."

Deciding that she had been teased enough, Kalin pointed to the roof, "Check up on the roof. His foot was dangling over the edge when we were coming in."

"Huh?!" Crow ran outside and saw the brown boots that adorned his feet hanging over the edge of the roof. "H-how the heck did he get up there? He has a twisted ankle and a bullet wounded arm."

"You try to outrun Sector Security on rooftop for 6 months and get back to me," Yusai said, turning on the laptop.

The group heard someone drop to the floor and watched as Akiyuki walked in heading for his bag that was still sitting in the table.

"Hey, listen, don't think that just cause Martha said you have to stay here, don't think you can just walk around like you own everything." Jack said.

"Can you shut up please? You annoying Aussie accent is giving me a headache."

"Excuse me?!"

"I'm sorry, do you not speak English? Can it or I'd be more than happy to do it for you," Akiyuki said pulling out pain medication bottle and opening it.

"Why you spoiled little-"

"There water pump here or something?" Akiyuki asked, cutting Jack off.

"Uh yeah, in the back of the house. You can't miss it. Water's fresh since New Domino didn't want to have to deal with all the complaining people, if we got sick." Yusai said

As soon as Akiyuki was out of the room Jack started ranting, "I can't stand him! How much longer does he have to be here for?"

"Jack, he just got here." Yusai said.

"And I want him gone!"

"Calm down. Just think of him as…another Crow." Kalin suggested.

"Great, like I need another Crow."

"Hey, not like you're easy to live with blondie!" Crow snapped.

"Um, Crow. Is that cooler filled with water?" Yusai asked, noticing the cooler in the ginger haired female

"Huh," noticing the cooler she still had in her hand Crow let out a curse. "I'll go grab him."

Crow went to the back of the house to find the pain tablets Akiyuki had on the floor as well as the sling.

'Did he take off? No, his stuff is still inside as well as his duel disk. This isn't New Domino where you could just pick up a new Duel Disk at any electronic store nearby. He's been here long enough to know this,' Crow thought as she picked up one of the tablets. Then, she saw a mark in the ground. Her eyes widened at the sight.

Racing back to the entrance of the house, she asked, "Who did you guys duel today?"

"Who did- Team Egypt. Why?"

"I think those rumours about them kidnapping team members of those who beat them might be true. Akiyuki's gone!"

The red haired teen groaned in pain as his arm was forced behind his back and wrist tied together, "Look I'm telling you. I'm not part of Team Satisfaction!"

"Huh, and I'm Kimberly Crawford's alter ego," A member from Team Egypt said.

"Funny, you don't look like a skater boy," Akiyuki said sarcastically.

"Huh?"

"Really? You guys call yourself Team Egypt, but you don't know anything about Kim's alter ego? Wow, it was one of the most said things. Queen of Games, Kimberly Crawford's alter ego was most commonly described as a skater boy."

"N-no one asked you, ok pretty boy?!"

"When your little friends get here, I'm gonna enjoy beating you first before we get to them," Another member said.

Said member flew back, hitting the wall behind him. The rest of the Team turned to Akiyuki, who had his foot out from kicking the Team Egypt member. He showed off his flexibility by pulling his still tied arms under his feet

"Unless you want to end up like him, let me go!"

"You really want to do this? I can see there's something up with your right ankle the way you're off balance; your right arm was in a sling; your hands are tied together and you're outnumbered. You really want to fight us?" The member who looked like he may have been the leader stepped forward. "Surround him. We're kicking his ass."

Akiyuki pointed a finger at the alleged Team Egypt leader. "I'll kick your ass, after I kick the ass of your underlings."

"Don't get cocky brat!" One of the team members rushed Akiyuki from the right side as another team member rushed from the left side.

Akiyuki glanced at the man, who was rushing in at him from the left and turned his back to him to focus his attention on the man on the right.

Everyone froze as the man, Akiyuki was staring at, flew back into a crate. The Team Egypt members exchanged fearful glances as the realization that this guy wasn't normal and they were about to be beaten dawned on them. The man, who was previously rushing Akiyuki from the left was now backing up slowly. He spun around to run only to be blindsided by a wooden crate which shattered on impact.

The man, who was the team leader, looked from one downed teammate to the other, completely speechless and terrified.

"Don't worry, bud," Akiyuki started walking towards the team leader, who was paralyzed. "I'm going to kick your ass fair and square. If you cut my arms free, I won't toss you around like I did your friends. It shall be a nice brawl, man-to-man. Deal?"

The team leader took a second to weigh his options. The option where he would not be tossed around like a ragdoll seemed the best and chose that one. He approached Akiyuki cautiously, quickly severed the rope, which was binding Akiyuki with a knife and immediately swung the knife which Akiyuki dodged with ease.

Akiyuki jumped back to create some distance between him and his enemy. "I have a confession to make, bud." Akiyuki reached into his pants pocket and withdrew a card. "It's not that I lied, I just wasn't completely honest with you. I was not lying when I said I wasn't going to toss you around, but you are going to be tossed around. I wasn't lying when I said it shall be a nice brawl, but it's not going to be man-to-man; it's going to be monster against man."

Akiyuki turned the card around to reveal what it was to the Team Egypt leader: Crystal Rose Angel. He planted it onto a fallen Duel Disk that was on the create he stood on. Fear turned to despair and anguish as the Team Egypt leader saw the monster materialize before him. He wanted to run, but he was rooted to the ground. He managed to step back but that was all he could manage. It was over for him. The monster rushed him, grabbed his arm and threw him into a support beam. As soon as his back made contact with the support beam, the monster appeared before him once more. Crystal Rose Angel punched him in the chest, sending him through the support beam, cracking a few ribs in the process.

The Team Egypt leader looked up from the rubble of crates he was lying in. His vision was blurry. He could make out the outline of Akiyuki walking towards him along with the monster. He heard Akiyuki say something but could not make it out as he slowly slipped away into an unconscious state.

"You choose the wrong person to piss off. Psychic Duelists don't forgive easily."

Crow lead everyone to Team Egypt's old hideout. They looked around and saw some members of the Team Egypt running off. Jack grabbed one of the members by his shirt.

"Teen with red hair and a weird roller in the bangs. Where is he?"

"T-that monster's inside. Let me go dude, I don't want to die!" the member ripped away from Jack's grip and took off.

"Monster? Akiyuki isn't a monster. But, what happened that caused them to run off like that?"

"Hey," Kalin pointed to the opening in the warehouse. "There he is."

Akiyuki walked out, his arm held close to him when a member snuck up on him. His injured arm flew back, his elbow hitting the member in the throat. As the member hit the floor, Akiyuki grabbed his arm and cursed loudly, "Shit that hurt!"

"Wow, remind me not get him mad," Crow said as she and the others ran to the cursing teen. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Akiyuki said groaning as the pain started to fade slightly.

"You guys get him to Dr. Schmitt's. I'll go fend off any other members that still might be in there," Yusai said as she walked towards the warehouse. As she walked in her eyes widened at the sight of what Akiyuki had left behind. Broken crates everywhere as well as unconscious Team Egypt members. The leader was hurt the worst, broken bones and all. 'Akiyuki is extremely hurt. How the hell did he do this much damage?'

"Ow, ow, ow, OW! Take it easy that hurts!" Akiyuki yelled as Dr. Schmitt checked his arm for any more damage Team Egypt may have done. "Ow! Stop it!" Akiyuki snapped yanking his hand away, only to groan in pain.

"Stop being such a cry-baby. If you don't stop fidgeting, it'll hurt more. Now stay still. I just want to make sure they didn't rip open your stiches and then I'll put it back in the sling. Where is Yusai anyway?"

"She's checking to see if Team Egypt took off or not."

"I hope she'll be ok. Alright, you don't have any new injuries; just keep this arm in the sling. Don't even move a finger or you might strain a muscle too much." The doctor put Akiyuki's arm back in his sling, ignoring his pained groan.

Just then, Yusai walked in, her mind still mulling over what she saw at the warehouse.

"Hey there you are. What took you so long?" Crow asked.

"Huh, oh, uh, just checking if the guys where hurt. Sector Security picked them up."

"Can I leave now?" Akiyuki asked.

"Of course, just take some pain medicine when you get back." The group left Dr. Schmidt's house. Yusai stared at Akiyuki, her mind filled with questions when they all stopped. Looking around Akiyuki Yusai saw two men wearing matching uniforms. They were robe-like, green and blue being the main colours, over a white dressed shirt. They also had hoods on their hoods that were lined in gold. Both had Duel Disks on their arms.

"Akiyuki-san, Master Sayer has been worried sick about you. It's time for you to come home."

Akiyuki narrowed his eyes at the two men. The entire Team wondered, who the guys were and who the heck was 'Master Sayer'?"

"Well, I don't miss him. So, do me a favour and tell him to leave me alone."

The men looked at each other and then back at Akiyuki, "we thought you'd say that," one man said.

"So, we got permission to use force if necessary. From the looks of it, Arcadia's number one psychic is in bad shape."

"Wait, physic?" Jack wondered out loud

"I've already had a bad day, try not to make it worse."

Both men placed a card on their Duel Disks. Grapha, Dragon Lord of the Dark World and Ultimate Axon Kicker appeared over their owners.

Akiyuki raised an eyebrow, "is that supposed to scare me?"

"What can you do? You have no Duel Disk! Your cards are as useless as you are."

"You're going to pay for that comment." Grabbing Yusai by her arm, Akiyuki turned on her Duel Disk and laid a card on it, a dragon appearing over their heads. It was covered in rose petals and its body was black. "Now, you're going to see why they call me the Black Thorn. Black Rose Dragon, show them why you're Queen of the garden, Black Rose Gale!"

Team Satisfaction held their arms up blocking the gale of wind. Both Grapha, Dragon Lord of the Dark World and Ultimate Axon Kicker were destroyed and Black Rose Dragon turned its gaze to their owners.

"Now, I'll make this very clear. Unless you want to become Black Rose Dragon's next meal, go back to Arcadia Movement and tell your master that I'm not coming back, not now, not ever. Now, get lost before I let Black Rose eat you anyway!"

Seeing they were not going to succeed, the two turned and walked off. The large dragon kept its gaze on the two men till they were out of eye shot. It turned its head to its owner. Akiyuki lifted his hand and surprised Team Satisfaction by petting its nose

"Good girl. You scared them really well. Thank you."

"Y-y-y…" Jack stuttered.

"What?" Akiyuki asked looking annoyed. The rose covered dragon then turned her gaze to Jack. Jack was a hard person to scare, but the large purple eyes gazing into his unnerved him.

"How are you doing that? Duel Monsters are holograms."

"Not for me," Akiyuki said, petting Black Rose again. "Not for me and a few other people, including one of the best duelists in history. I'll see you later girl." Akiyuki said, petting Black Rose one last time before lifting the card from Yusai's Duel Disk.

"What do you mean the greatest duelist in history is like you?" Jack asked

Looking the blonde and then the rest of Team Satisfaction, Akiyuki sighed, 'Looks like I can't hide after all.' "I'll explain back at the house. I'd rather not have the whole of Satellite hear this."

When they got back to the house, Akiyuki sat on the couch, everyone else around him.

"When I was 7, my life changed forever. My father was a senator and was always busy working, but I didn't care. When he was home, it was the best. He missed my 7 birthday and the very next day, he left again for work even though I asked him not to. He made it up to me a few days later by dueling against me. Right in the middle of my turn he got a call from his office and had to leave again. I hated it, losing my father for this job I didn't want him to go to. I planned to scare him with my Rose Fire, but it didn't go out like I planned. The fire became real and hurt my father. At that same moment, a mark appeared on my arm." Using his teeth, he pulled up his good arm's sleeve showing his claw shaped mark. He didn't see Jack look down at his own arm, were his wing shaped mark laid.

Continuing with his story, Akiyuki said, "While I was scared with what was happening to me, my father became scared of me. They rejected me and sent me away. The students didn't accept me and I left. A man named Sayer Devine found me. He taught me how to control my powers and I trusted him till he broke my trust. There was a younger girl named Tamara, who saw me as an older brother. Her brother was always working and he wanted some place that could help his sister, so he choose the Arcadia Movement. I began to see Tamara as a little sister and tried to protect her, but I didn't realize that there was one thing I couldn't protect her from. Sayer asked her to come and do a test one day. She promised me that it wouldn't take long and, after the test, I could use my privileges to take her out of the building for a day. I never saw her again after that. I asked Sayer what happened to her and he told me that she was sent to another facility that could help her with her powers.

"Something didn't seem right, so I snuck into his office and found her file. That facility he sent her to was a facility that he sends all physic rejects, people that aren't strong enough in his timeline of work. After that, I couldn't trust him anymore. I left, but when I realized that he'd be after me, I came here. I avoid them for 6 months, but my parents must have gotten word that I was here and, in order to save their image, sent Sector Security after me. That's it, my whole story."

The room stayed silent, till Crow spoke up, "How could they? Your parents and Sayer? You trust them and they betrayed it."

"We consider anyone, who still has their parents very lucky, but after hearing your story, I'm glad we had someone like Martha looking after us," Yusai said

Surprisingly, Jack walked up to Akiyuki, "those guys after you before, think they'll be back?"

"If I've learned anything about Sayer, it's that he doesn't give up. He won't stop till I'm back at the Arcadia Movement."

"Well you're indisposed at the moment and I want to beat those guys. You're staying here till this is dealt with."

Mouths dropped open. Jack was willingly being nice to a guy he said he didn't like.

"What the heck is happening to the world?" Kalin asked out loud.

"Just so you know I'm not joining your dueling gang," Akiyuki said. "What's the name of this gang anyway?"

Kalin's chest puffed with pride, "We are Team Satisfaction!"

"We don't stop till everyone is satisfied," The others called.

Akiyuki stared at his new roommates, an eyebrow raised, "I want you guys to think long and hard about what you just said and tell me that does not perverted."

As the girls blushed when it finally hit them, Jack just muttered under his breath, "told you we should have been called the Enforcers."

As the room became filled with arguments and yells, Akiyuki leaned back on the couch and thought, 'while going back to New Domino is not what I want, this place might not be so bad. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?'

We soon shall see. Please review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I love you all.
