Me: Man, I haven't updated in FOREVOR!

Jack: You think?

Aki: Don't blame her, she's been busy.

Jack: Oh yeah? Doing what?

Yusei: Kemmeyz does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

….

Divine watched as Yusei and Aki walked out of the building. This could be one of two things. Either 1, really bad news. Or 2, this might work in his favor. But until he knew for sure, he'd have to watch them much more closely. And devise a plan in case things took a turn for the worse. But what?

"Hang on…" Divine muttered. He looked out the window, and down to the streets below. Yusei and Aki were easy to spot. But who was that little girl they were talking to? She looked oddly familiar…

….

"Aki! Yusie!" Ruka hugged Aki's legs happily. Yusei looked at the green haired girl quizzically.

"Ruka?..." He said under his breath, only loud enough for Aki to hear. And it broke her heart to know he still couldn't remember them.

"What are you doing? I thought one of the guys would be watching you," Aki asked. Ruka pulled away and looked at her shoes.

"Jack was… but I went out for a bit." Ruka admitted, casting wary glances in the teens directions.

"Why?" Aki asked.

"Well," Ruka began, "I've been having trouble contacting the Spirit World lately, and I figured if I could find a spiritual place, I could get back in contact." Aki furrowed her brow, deep in thought.

"That's odd… Why haven't you been able to contact the spirits?" Aki asked. Ruka shrugged.

"I don't know?" She replied.

"Is that even possible?" Yusei asked, joining the conversation. "Talking to spirits?" Ruka looked up at the black haired teen, nodding sadly.

"I really wish you could remember us," Ruka sighed. Before Yusei could say anything, Aki took the girl's hand gently.

"We should get you back to the mansion, before Jack finds out you left." Aki said. She looked at Yusei for a moment.

"Would you like to come with us?" She asked. Yusei stared back at her, and she wondered what was going through his mind. He then slowly nodded and followed the two down the street.

Jack grumbled as he heard the front door open. Rua had passed out on the floor from his earlier sugar high, and was snoring loudly. If the kid wouldn't snore so loudly, Jack could have some tea in peace. (That better be Crow), Jack thought to himself. But alas, it was not. It was Aki and Ruka!

"What are you doing here Aki?" Jack asked. "You're supposed to be at the movement. And you!" Jack noticed the little girl. "I thought you were upstairs?"

Aki quickly explained what had happened, and Jack stood.

"Wait a minute then, where's Yusei?" He asked. Ruka looked around the corner into the living room.

"Waiting," She replied. Aki rolled her eyes, indicating she was upset.

"To go back to Arcadia?" Jack asked, moving toward the living room. Aki raised her arm, stopping the blond in his tracks.

"You can't knock sense into him," She said softly. Jack growled in his throat.

"Oh come on!" He said. "I've seen it on television. Hard hits to the head usually bring back memories!" Aki glared at him darkly as Ruka smartly decided to find a snack in the kitchen. "Just one little flick?..." Jack said quietly. Aki shook her head. He folded his arms as the two had a staring/glaring contest.

It was then that the two heard the sound of the door opening again.

"Okay Jack, you are relieved-" Crow stopped in mid-sentence. Jack smiled devilishly and grabbed his jacket off the chair. With that, he walked out of the kitchen without a word.

"Crow, you're going to die watching these kids," Jack growled to his friend, but stopped when he realized Crow had noticed Yusei was in the living room. The black haired teen was looking at pictures on the mantle.

Most of them now had Aki, Crow, Jack, and Yusei in them. They were like Rua and Ruka's other family. Yusei was holding one in specific. It was about a month or two after they defeated the dark signers. They were all laughing about something, Jack couldn't remember what about anymore. But for some reason, even he was smiling and chuckling.

Aki walked into the living room when no one had said anything for a while, and walked over to Yusei's side.

"We're…" Yusei muttered.

"Friends," Aki finished for him. Yusei looked at them all carefully, seeming to be worried about something.

"Why can't I… remember?..." Suddenly, Yusei fell to the ground, hitting his head on the coffee table.

"Yusei!" They all said at once. Jack picked up Yusei, and saw that the teen was unconscious.

"Crow, call for help," Aki said quickly. Crow was about to pull out his phone, when Jack snatched it away from him.

"I'm not going to risk them not getting here in time. I'll take him." Jack took Yusei outside and put him on the D-Wheel, and rode away with him.

"Like he actually thinks he can go without me," Aki muttered.

"Crow, can I borrow you're D-Wheel? I left mine at Arcadia," She said, looking at the boy beside her. Crow blinked at her.

"No way! Not my Black Wing!" He shook his head hard.

"You know I can destroy it anytime without metal tools." Aki said darkly. Crow's face paled, and then he nodded slowly.

"Fine, but don't scratch it!" Aki smiled kindly.

"Thanks Crow!" Aki got on the D-Wheel and put on the helmet. She then revved up the runner and drove away, leaving Crow to take after Rua and Ruka. And Rua was waking up.

….

Me: Wow, I actually got that to work?

Aki: You can anything work if you put your heart into it.

Jack: I'm getting sick of this.

Aki: Of the story?

Jack: YOU.

Yusei: Please Review. Aki… what are you doing?...
