Godwin's Dragon Leash

Chapter Five

By Kellyq

Six days had passed and Yusei made a handful of new friends. The first was a big muscular man named Tanner. He had dark-blue hair that spiked out the Statute of Liberty. His green eyes held confidence and power with a firm strong voice. Next was Yanagi. A sweet old man who loved to tell stories. The other was a man was about Yusei's age. He had midnight-blue hair, brown eyes and the rest of his appearance was identical to Yusei's. This brown-eyed teen went by the name of Alex.

The other residents from the small village started to give Yusei respect when he proved his skills when they had a problem with the old rundown mill.

Crow on the other hand told Yusei that he was going to snoop around and find exactly where Jack, Aki, and the twins were.

Alex stared at Yusei, wondering what was going on when the two friends talked. He could feel tension in the air and the look Alex saw in Yusei's eye when Jack's name left Crow's lips were distant.

That was three days ago and so far there was no news from Crow. Alex looked over a Yusei, who was having a small bowl of porridge in his hand, stirring. He must be thinking about this Jack person Crow trying to find for him.

Alex just finished turning off the equipment and stared at Yusei. Crow walked up and put his hand on Yusei's shoulder. Alex watched the two friends walk out. He stood there, feeling slightly jealous that Crow was always getting Yusei's attention.

When Alex first saw Yusei, he thought the dark-haired teen was cool. After Alex got to know Yusei, he couldn't help but fall for the dark-haired teen.

After standing there, Alex decided to follow the boys, but Blackbird jumped on Alex. Crow pulled his dog off and Yusei helped Alex up.

"Uh ... Yusei? I know it's none of my business ... but who is Jack?" Alex finally asked.

Rally, who was sitting beside Yusei looked up. Tension hung in the air. The other: Tanner, Yanagi, Blizts and Nerve stared at Yusei; eager to know who the mysterious friend is.

"He's a friend that went missing 14 days ago," Yusei shared.

"Alright," came a voice that happened to be Trudge. "Break time is over. Now get to work!"

Yusei gave the dark-haired man a sideways glance. "Rally's not done eating."

Trudge smirked. He walked up and yanked the bowl out of Rally's hand. Everyone held their breath, But Yusei and Tanner. Yusei handed his bowl to Rally, got to his feet and gave Trugde an intense stare with coldness and hatred.

"What?" Trudge taunted. He gulped down the porridge, threw the bowl to the side and wiped his mouth. "You got something to say to me, Yusei?"

Yeah. Where is Jack you son of bitch! Yusei wanted so much to change into his dragon form and beat the shit out Trudge for helping Godwin take Jack away from him.

That's strange, Trudge thought. Why do I feel strong presence from him - it's the same presence when Godwin and I faced Stardust. Trudge wasn't the only one who came feel intense power in the room, Yanagi felt it too.

Rua sat in a chair beside the bed. He looked over at his sister. Ruka looked sickly pale. Sweat came down her face, and she was panting.

Rua bit his lip, feeling a pang in his heart. "This is all my fault," Rua choked out. "I should be taking better care of you!"

The door opened at that moment and Godwin walked in with three men right behind him. One of them had brown hair that was shaped like an umbrella top. His long side hairs went past his shoulders. He went by the name of Akutsu. He wore a white lab coat, yellow glasses that were a shape of a banana. The look in the man's eyes was that of a mad man.

Rua jumped out of his seat and dashed to the bed. He pulled his sister close making sure that they couldn't touch her. "Leave her alone!"

"Now calm down, Rua," Godwin said, reaching for the turquoise-haired boy.

Rua growled and his eyes flashed with hate. "Don't touch me."

Godwin sighed and pulled back. "You want your sister to recover don't you?" Rua nodded his head. "Then I would suggest that you let Akutsu do his job."

Rua was hesitant of letting go of Ruka, but after a moment, Rua laid Ruka down. Akutsu walked to the other side of the bed. He pulled out a needle, syringe, and a vial filled of yellow solution. Akutsu placed them on the bed and pulled out a cotton ball and alcohol swab; the last thing he pulled out was Latex gloves.

"W - what are you giving her?" Rua questioned.

Atuktsu put his gloves on and started with the needle and syringe. He took the vial and rubbed it between his hands. It wasn't long before Atuktsu started to hum, and he swayed his hips. "This will help her get better."

Rua nodded and watched Atuktsu give Ruka the injection. Everyone watched and waited for something to happen. Ruka's breathing became even and her expression became clam.

Atuktsu beamed and he spun around like a ballerina. "It works!" he sang out.

"Atuktsu," Godwin said firmly, getting the crazy man to stop spinning.

The doctor stopped and went to check Ruka's vital signs. "She's going to be just fine. Just a few more days of rest and she'll be alright."
