Me: Okay, time to get down and dirty, cross my fingers, and pray I don't get writers block!

Aki:…You better not think about that review.

Jack: What review?

Me: (Stops everything she's doing and looks in Aki's direction) Review?... OOooooh. (Laughs darkly) Thank you random unknown reviewer for that awesome idea. You know who you are… hehehe…

Yusei: Um, I don't know what this is about, but Kemmeyz does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Aki, you're looking a little green.

….

Yusei opened his eyes slowly, and flinched as a stinging, burning sensation went through him. He looked down at his right arm through clouded eyes, and was able to see a needle exiting his arm.

"How are you feeling?" A sinister voice said calmly. Yusei blinked the sleep out of his eyes, and saw a man standing at the side of the hospital bed. He was wearing a dark brown trench coat, his dark red hair was covered by a fedora. But what made Yusei recognize the man, was his evil emerald eyes.

"Divine?..." He muttered, still waking from what was a peaceful sleep.

He noticed Jack at the end of the bed, completely motionless. But he was breathing, so he assumed Jack was just asleep. But Yusei figured he would have awoken at the new guest's arrival. Why didn't he?

Divine nodded simply.

"How are you feeling?" The man asked, still calm. Yusei flinched, feeling the sting travel through his body for the second time.

"What did you give me?" Yusei asked, blinking at the pain.

"It's to keep you awake." Divine replied flatly. He walked to the window beside Jack and opened it, revealing the big and bright moon. A blue light filled the room, lighting things, making it easier to see their surroundings.

"Who were you talking to earlier today?" Divine asked seriously, looking back at him. Yusei remembered he'd have to fake his loss of memory, if he wanted to find out what was going on. So he shrugged and sighed.

"I don't know. A little girl named… um… Ruka?" Yusei lied, looking away from Divine's eyes.

"Where did you go?" Divine continued, getting closer.

"Um, Aki wanted to take her home, so I went with them to make sure they arrived safely." It wasn't a lie, but it didn't betray anything either.

"And?" Divine pushed.

"And I tripped and hit my head. The next thing I know, I'm here." Yusei looked back at the emerald eyes of his enemy, and saw that Divine was deep in thought. He wondered what Divine was thinking.

Finally, Divine looked at Yusei and put his hand on the bed rail.

"Do you remember anything?" Yusei shook his head slowly, closing his eyes and stifling a yawn. Divine let go of the bed rail and walked to the door.

He stopped there, and turned back to see Yusei.

"And what of Aki? Will she come back?" Divine asked. Yusei looked deep into the emerald orbs of his, and could've sworn he saw some kind of glimmer. A glimmer of worry? Hope? Care? No, not care. Yusei didn't know.

"She'll be back. She was just dropping off the kid." He nodded reassuringly. It burned Yusei to say, let alone think that Aki would go back to that monster. But if she didn't, Yusei was worried about the rest of his friends. Divine was capable of anything. The man could do unthinkable things, and even kidnapped the twins at one time. Yusei couldn't risk that happening again. He wouldn't.

Divine nodded again, but didn't leave.

"What do you think of her?" He asked. Yusei was surprised by the question. A million thoughts ran through his head all at once. There were so many things to say about her! Yusei felt his face growing a little hot as he looked at his hands.

"I like her," Yusei admitted. "She's really nice." Divine nodded again and left the room without a word, leaving Yusei alone with Jack.

….

Ruka opened her eyes. It was the early hours of the morning, and Crow had stayed overnight. She'd had a bad feeling, and asked if Crow could stay, who gladly accepted. Unlike Jack, Crow got along with Rua well. Maybe too well? Considering Rua and Crow had been up all night in the mini theater, in the basement, watching movies and eating junk food. If things went on like this, Crow wouldn't want to leave. But Ruka trusted the teenager, so she decided to let them be. Besides, Crow was a really good cook.

Ruka sat up in her pink bed and stretched, yawning while doing so. After she was fully dressed, she went down to the basement to find Rua asleep on a dark red couch set against the back wall. A blue blanket was laid over her twin. Likely to be Crow's doing. Speaking of which, where was he?

Ruka went back upstairs and noticed the smell of food on the stove. Bacon, eggs, something else?... She walked into the kitchen and saw Crow at the stove, flipping a skillet full of everything she had smelled.

"You hungry?" Crow asked calmly,

"Yeah," Ruka replied, walking over to the bar area, "Almost done," The red-head said, putting the skillet down. He looked over at her, and she could tell something was wrong. Crow looked worried, upset, and yet strangely calm. She could see it in his eyes.

"You're worried about Yusei and Aki?" Ruka asked, not really needing an answer. Crow stared at her for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

"It's not right, what happened. What is happening." Crow grumbled, leaning against the countertop.

"Aki needs to hurry up and get Yusei back over here." He said, turning back to the stove.

When Ruka didn't say anything, Crow smiled casually in his carefree way.

"Hey, why don't you go wake Rua up. You guys are going to LOVE this!" Ruka smiled at his attitude, and nodded, feeling much happier.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Ruka jumped out of her seat and walked quickly to the basement. Rua was beginning to stir, so Ruka shook him more gently. When he didn't wake up, Ruka shook him harder, making her twin rock back and forth.

Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she leaned down close to his head, but not too close.

"Rua!" Ruka yelled, "Crow just cooked his award winning breakfast course!" Rua's eyes shot open immediately, and he jumped to his feet, still on the sofa.

"Really?" The boy exclaimed with excitement. Ruka smiled nicely and pointed up the stairs. With that, Rua sped off like a bullet to the kitchen.

Ruka was about to go upstairs, when she felt her arm become hot. Ruka pulled back her sleeve and looked at the glowing mark of the crimson dragon. Something bad was about to happen, she could feel it warning her.

Ruka ran up the stairs quickly, and saw Crow serving Rua some of the food, but they were both frozen, their eyes glued on Crow's mark.

"What's wrong?" Rua asked, since he was not a signer.

"Something's going on." Crow muttered.

"We should call Aki." Ruka said, entering the room. Crow nodded and grabbed his phone immediately.

"Ruka, you should eat something." Ruka nodded as Crow left the kitchen to make the call.

….

Aki noticed her cell phone buzzing on the desk. She picked it up and was about to answer it, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Aki?" It was Divine! Aki quickly turned off the phone and hid it under her pillow. With that, she answered the door.

"Yes, Divine?" Aki replied, looking at Divine's eyes. They were completely blank, refusing to reveal his emotions, secrets, plans, etc…

"Aki, I was wondering if you'd ever been to the basement of Arcadia?" The man asked softly. Aki thought about it for a moment.

"Um, no. I don't think so." Aki replied honestly. Divine smiled gently.

"Would you like to? There's something down there I'd like to show you." Divine said, still softly. Something wasn't right about this. Aki knew it. But, her curiosity was beginning to take the advantage.

"Um, sure?" Aki replied cautiously. Divine linked arms with her, much to Aki's dislike, and walked her down the halls to the elevator.

"So, how is Yusei?" Aki asked. She was worried about him. Thousands of worries. Like was he really coming back here? For her? Were his injuries more serious than the Doctors had thought? Would he be stuck there for a month? Anything could happen. Divine smiled casually.

"Yusei's fine. He'll be back at noon. I'll personally bring him back." Aki smiled to herself, a warm feeling growing inside. But at the same time, she was worried that Divine would brainwash him again, if he found out Yusei remembered.

They were soon in the elevator, and Divine pressed the bottom button. But instead of just pressing, he held onto it, as the elevator descended. Soon, they had reached the basement, but they kept descending!

"Um, how far down does this go?" Aki asked, feeling concerned. It was then that the elevator stopped, and the doors opened. Divine took his finger off the button, and took Aki down the halls.

Aki looked around carefully. The basement, or wherever they were, looked nothing like Arcadia. It was all dark. The ground was a dirt floor, and the walls were brick. The halls were very narrow, making it so people could only go two at a time.

"Divine? What is it you wanted to show me?" Aki asked, trying to disguise the fear in her voice. She did a very poor job at it. Divine smirked as they passed dimly lit light bulbs without coverings.

"We're almost there," He said reassuringly. Aki squinted as the halls became even darker. But she was able to make out two shadowy figures standing guard at the end of the hall. Once getting closer, Aki recognized them as two of the guys Jack beat up. They looked fine now, at least from what she could see. Behind them, were bars. Barricading what looked like a cell!

"Divine, where are we?" Aki asked, fear evident in her voice now. Divine didn't answer, he just grinned like a fool. There was a door next to the cell, it was also barricaded.

"Walter, Conner, open the door." Divine said casually, yet darkly at the same time. Aki stopped walking.

"No, Divine, take me back. I don't want to be here," She said seriously. Divine looked down at her, his idiotic smile still showing.

"But we're almost there," He replied. He took her arm more forcefully and dragged her to the door. As she was going through, she saw chains in the cell behind her now. (Was that were Yusei was held?) Aki couldn't help but wonder. Once she was in the little room, she saw a chair in the middle of the room. There were desks all around, with flashing computer monitors and shelves stacked full of papers.

"What is this?" Aki asked nervously.

"Sit down, Aki." Divine said darkly serious. Aki did so immediately, knowing she wasn't going to get out of this easily. As Divine went over to the desks, Aki felt for her deck, but then realized everything she needed for an escape, was up in her room. She bit her lip in frustration. She was stuck down here.

"What are you going to do?" Aki asked nervously. Divine motioned for Walter and Conner, (brown hair: Walter, Blond: Conner,) to come over. So they went over to Aki and suddenly, they tied her down to the chair with straps.

"What's going on?" Aki asked more loudly for Divine to hear. Divine looked over at her darkly. He walked over to her, and motioned for Walter and Conner to continue what he was working on. Which they did so immediately.

"You see Aki, when I kidnapped Yusei, I didn't fully expect you to come back. But, when you came back, you made my plan so much easier!" Divine explained.

"That's vague," Aki mumbled.

"Then let me explain with more detail. I wanted Yusei. The strongest duelist in the world. If I could get him to work for me, I'd be unstoppable." Divine said happily.

"It wasn't as easy as I expected it to be." Divine instinctively felt his stomach… or was it his side? She couldn't tell in that light.

"He put up a good fight, but in the end, I brainwashed him, and he obeyed my every whim."

"Then why haven't you done anything yet?" Aki asked. Divine shook his head.

"Because of you!" He replied. "When you showed up, I knew you would get involved. I would have a harder time carrying out my plan. But then, what if I had both of you working WHOLE heartedly for me? A powerful and highly feared psychic duelist, The Black Rose Witch, and the strongest and undefeatable King, Yusei Fudo? Who would even stand up to me?" Divine laughed maniacally. Aki flinched at her old name, and growled in her throat.

"You won't get away with this!" Aki said angrily. Divine stopped laughing, and walked up to her.

"Thanks to you, I can." Conner walked up to Divine and handed him a needle, which he grinned evilly at. He moved towards her and…

….

Me: CLIFFHANGER!

Aki:…

Me: Come on, you don't hate me, do you?

Yusei: (comforting Aki), You just let her worst nightmare, hold her against her will, and let him do something completely barbaric!

Me:…Blame the unknown reviewer. I just thought it was a good idea.

Jack: Don't attack me or anything, but I thought so too.

Crow: Please Review! Okay, now let's not get like that… Yusei, hold her back!
