Sorry it's a little late. Homework, School ect. ect. It sucks. And also sorry if it's short I wanted a hook.

I slump down into my bed hoping that this day would end soon. My week has just been getting worse. Jack said that since I didn't work on the new engine program at all in the past few day, I had to work through the night. He knew Martha wouldn't be happy about this, but Jack didn't care one bit. Everyone actually agreed with him, even Crow. I could hardly stay awake during the eleven o'clock mark, I didn't want to let my friends down but I also couldn't disobey those thugs. I mean, if I didn't do every single thing they said then either I would get shocked or my friends would pay the price that I couldn't take. "I'm so tired." I grumbled, I had noticed that my voice had started to fade away from yelling so loud throughout the shocks.

"Yusei, we've gotta talk about why you haven't been here throughout the day." Crow said through the door "We'll all be waiting downstairs." I was panicking because I didn't want to lie to them OR tell the truth, because it did not feel good. Instead I gathered up my deck, a pair of clothes, all the money I had and any other belongings. I opened my window and jumped down, not even thinking how much the landing would hurt me.

I landed a lot softer than I thought. "I'm so sorry you guys. But this is something you'll just have to stay out of. Good-bye. For now that is." I felt a tear run down my face. I got on my D-Wheel put my helmet on and drove away silently into the cold and deserted night. I was lucky it was snowing so my tracks will be covered up. "I'm sorry. Truly, I am." 'I wish I could tell you everything.' I thought silently. Now all that was left was wondering where I would be staying.

"Come on Yusei. Open the door now." Crow said getting a little aggravated.

"If you don't open your door on the count of three, I will slam your door wide open!" Jack said screaming so loud you would think the neighbors would have had complained.

"Don't be so loud Jack. It's eleven; he is probably asleep by now. Besides, why not just pick the lock instead?" Aki proclaimed. Everyone gave her a confused look saying 'YOU are going to pick a lock?' "Just watch." She smirked. "A little to the Left, then to the Right and you're in. Hello, I grew up with the arcadia movement, you learn a lot from them! Yusei, you in here?" She said going from one voice to another.

"He's gone!" Ruka said surprised.

"Where could that boy have gone?" Jack said totally frustrated.

"Somewhere away from you I'm sure." Crow said smirking.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY CARROT TOP?" Jack said screaming at Crow.

"YOU HEARD ME!"

'At least SOME things don't change.' Akiza spoke inside her head. 'Yusei, where in the world ARE you? And why didn't you tell us about it? I need you!"

Please Review and remember, be nice about it. :P (Again sorry for it being short. I was rushed.)
