"WHAT!"

Kyra grabbed Kairi by her hair and pulled her hard over to her, "You wanna tell me that again?" she hissed. Kairi winced, "Aries...Aries showed up and saved the boy!". Her mistress pushed her away and she fell to the floor, "Dammit...,". Kairi rubbed her head, but stayed on the floor, looking up at Kyra, "What do we do now?" she asked her.

The black haired girl leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms in thought. Why would Aries show up...the boy was not one of the Senshi and surely not a Knight, so why? she asked herself. She looked over to see Kairi laying her head on the armrest looking up at her. "The boy will most likely be very cautious now...and if those Items you told me about are truly linked in someway, he's already alerted the one with the Ring," she said thoughtfully to her servant.

"So what now?" Kairi wondered aloud. Kyra leaned against the back of the chair she sat in and drummed her fingers along the armrest, "We just wait...wait and see what happens,".

Yugi had some trouble with his arm in a sling due to the shoulder wound, but his friends were glad to help him carry his things. Ever since he was attacked, they were on their guard, in case anyone looked out the ordinary. He told the gang everything had he remembered from that night at his home, and warned them to be on their guard. He knew Ryou would be in 'safe' hands...or as safe as one can be with the Tomb Robber Bakura.

Even Mokuba and Kaiba dropped by once to say hi. They were surprised to even see Kaiba without a smirk on his face. Yugi knew that Kaiba cared because ever since he had acknowledged Yugi as a great duelist, he'd be devastated if his only true rival was killed. Kairi gently poked Yugi's shoulder, causing him to wince, "Man...that's gotta hurt. Can I see it?" she asked.

Duke looked at her, "Kairi, you honestly think that's a good idea?" he asked, sarcasm in his voice. Kairi sighed, "I guess not...,". Yugi sweatdropped and smiled nervously at the two of them, then noticed Joey was looking out the window, a serious look in his eyes. "You ok, Joey?" he asked his best friend.

"Eh?" Joey snapped out of it and looked at him. "I said are you ok?" Yugi repeated. Joey waved him off, "Yeah...don't worry, Yuge. I just got a lot on my mind right now...you know, stuff at home," he said quickly. Yugi had a feeling that wasn't quite it, but he just nodded and turned around to listen to Mokuba telling the gang about new stuff happening at KaibaCorp.

Later that week, Joey sat at his desk in his room, looking over his math homework when a slight tapping made him look up. At his window, Luna was gently tapping her paw against the glass, signaling that she wanted in. He undid the lock, opened it up and his feline mentor trotted in. "Was wonderin' where you were, Luna. I wanted to talk to you about Yugi," he said to her.

Luna nodded and planted herself on Joey's notebook, "Yes, yes. I am wanting to discuss that as well. You told me that the one that delivered Yugi to the hospital wore a red cloak. Do you think it's the man that helped you against Shiva that day at the pool?" she asked, looking up at him. Joey nodded, "Either that it's Vincent Valentine (1)," he cracked. Luna rolled her eyes, "Let's focus on the situation, Joseph. Whoever attacked your friend, did it for a very good reason. Now, what reason could that be?" she asked him.

Joey began to grow nervous. He hadn't told Luna about the Millenium Puzzle and the Shadow Powers it contained. "Um...I dunno," he said quickly. Luna raised an eyebrow, "Jounouchi...," she said in a warning tone. He held up his hands, "I swear, I don't know, Luna! Believe me, if I did, I would tell you!" he said defensively. Luna looked at him for a few moments, then nodded, "Yes I suppose you would if you did know," she agreed.

The blonde duelist let out a mental sigh and leaned back in his chair, "So...what now?" he asked his mentor. Luna stretched, "Well, since you were unable to save your friends and the others at the pool from the Ice monster, it's clear that you need training," she replied. Joey whimpered and hung his head. Luna shook her head, then snapped it around, in the direction of the door. "Luna...what's up?" Joey asked.

The black cat nodded to the door, "We're being watched," she whispered. Joey tensed and walked to his door. Luna jumped off the desk and nodded as Joey grabbed the doorknob, "Go," she whispered. Joey nodded and whipped the door open to reveal an empty hallway. The blonde teen poked his head out and looked around, "Luna...I think you're imagining things...no one's out here,"

While the two of them were arguing over if there was anyone there at all, the one who was there listening to them was running down the street, thoughts running through their head.
