Godwin's Dragon Leash
Chapter Six
By Kellyq
Godwin walked into a big room that was furnished with a couch, a lamp and a table. Light filtered in from the window that stretched from one corner to the other. Jack sat on the couch, clutching his arm.
"Thank you for being patient," Godwin said formally. "Now, what's troubling you?"
The blonde teen got to his feet and pulled his sleeve up to show the mark on his arm. "This has been hurting me for that past few days!"
Godwin smirked inwardly. Fake concern flashed across his eyes as he took a gentle hold of Jacks wrist and ran his cold gloved hand over the mark. "I'm really concerned," Godwin spoke up. "Stardust might be in trouble as we speak! If he comes here, he's safe from the danger that is looming."
Jack gently pulled his arm away and rolled his sleeve down. "You keep talking about the looming threat. What type of danger is you talking about?"
Godwin sighed. "There's an organization that would love to get their hands on you and the other Signers."
Jack narrowed his eyes and rubbed his arm. "So, you're saying that Yusei is in trouble?"
"I'm not sure," Godwin answered. "The only way to know is to bring him here before it's too late."
Jack rose to his feet and walked over to the window. He pulled his sleeve up and stared at the mark on his arm.
"Jack," Godwin called out calmly. The silver-haired man got to his feet and made his way over to where Jack was standing. "If we wait any longer, it may be to late too save Yusei."
Jack flinched and adjusted his gaze to Godwin. "How did you ..."
Godwin placed a hand on Jack's shoulder. "You and Stardust are mates, right? Furthermore, Yusei is the only one who is Stardust dragon."
Jack sighed and averted his gaze to the window. "What is it that you want me to do?"
Yanagi made his way through the forest, looking for Yusei. The young man had been in the forest all day, and it was time for dinner. Yanagi came to a clearing and stopped dead to see a bluish and white dragon resting. The dragon turned his head and the old man yelped in shock. They both stared at each other for a moment.
"Y - Yusei?" the old man stuttered. Stardust went into his human form and Yanagi smiled. "I had a feeling that there was something special about you." The old man scanned the area. "If you're Stardust, where are the other Signers?"
Yusei was about to answer when they heard Rally's voice from behind. Yanagi smiled and stepped aside as the young boy ran up and handed Yusei a white box.
"Here, Yusei. I made sure that some food was left for you."
Yusei smiled to the young boy. He sat down and opened the box when Blackbird came running straight for Yusei. The black Doberman Pinscher pulled on Yusei's sleeve.
"Y-Yusei ...?" Rally whispered in fear.
The dark-haired teen followed Rally's gaze and his eyes widened. Stand there was Crow, cradling an injured male teen in his arms. Blood streaked down the stranger's pale face. The hurt boy had light-blue hair, black pants, and the shirt was navy-blue. The blue-haired boy's eyes were closed. The teen went by the name of Kiryu.
Yusei handed the box back to Rally and went to help Crow with the injured teen. Sharp pain surged through Yusei's arm when he reached for the stranger.
Yanagi was the first to react. He rushed over to his young friend. "Yusei, are you alright?"
The dark-haired boy nodded his head and rubbed his arm. "Yeah. We better get him to a Doctor right away."
Slanted gold eyes opened and the first thing Kiryu did was scan his surroundings. He turned his head again to see Yanagi right in front of him.
"Hi there!" the old man chirped. The first thing Kiryu did was pull away. Yanagi moved back. "I'm sorry. Did I scare you?"
"W - where - am I?" Kiryu whispered, noticing that he was in a shake of some sort.
Yanagi smiled. "You're in a little village called Satellite," the old man answered.
Kiryu slowly sat up when he felt pain throb through his head. He winced and laid back down as Yanagi ran out, saying that he was going to get the Doctor. Kiryu laid there for a moment until he felt someone staring at him. The blue-haired teen turned his head to see Crow walking up.
"How are you feeling?" the red-haired teen asked.
"I'm fine," Kiryu murmured. "Were you the one who pulled me out of the landslide?"
Crow straightened his posture and jabbed his thumb to his chest. "Yep! Call me Crow!"
The blue-haired teen nodded his head. "I'm Kiryu."
