Me: People have been asking me as to why Yusei and Star's relationship has been moving along quickly.

Friend: You got that right.

Me: Well, the whole 'waking up with a naked girl next to me' incident took place about four months ago.

Friend: Makes more sense.

Me: But that's not the real reason.

Friend: Oh boy.

Me: I'm not telling what the real reason is though.

Friend: Just read and you'll be fine.

*Star*

Yusei's cooking was amazing, I honestly didn't expect it. The pancakes themselves were good but when he brought out the syrup suddenly it was a lot better. "Where did you get the maple syrup?" I asked, excitedly, wanting some of my own. Yusei blushed a little before turning his head slightly. "I, uh, made it." He responded as his blushed increased and his bangs went over his eyes. Who knew Yusei had a hobby of cooking?

It was only after my first five pancakes had I realized just how hungry I was. Could sex really make you that tired? I tilted my head at my own thought, I wasn't really sure, but for some reason I was really hungry. I ate a little more slowly as I continued to think.

When my plate was empty I looked up to see Yusei looking at me in surprise. Then he started laughing. "I didn't know you were that hungry." He stated simply as he lifted himself from his chair and took my plate. He started washing the dishes, as I wrapped the sheet around myself. I need cloths. I still didn't like the feeling of wearing cloths but I was still embarrassed to be naked in front of Yusei. Why was it only Yusei?

What was it that made me so attracted to him? Sure, just the way he looked at me made me shiver in happiness, but it felt different.

It was like I already knew him. "Yusei?" I asked as I played with some of my hair nervously. Yusei turned to me with a patient look, waiting for me to continue. "I don't . . .remember much. Can you help me?" I could only hope that my memory could help me some, even thought I didn't possess it.

Yusei smiled a bit before taking a seat across the table from me. He was wearing pajama pants, but he still lacked a shirt. I blushed as I tried to avert my eyes from his thin yet muscular figure. "I don't know if I'm very useful but I'll try." I started playing with my hair more vigorously. "Why did the Satellite suddenly get help from a city that was so prejudice against it?" I thought that it would be a good place to start, or more specifically, picking up where we left off.

Yusei leaned back a bit as he went through the events in his head. "After I was arrested, I was soon released after exposing the Warden of harassing the inmates." I smiled a bit, I could see Yusei doing that. "After I was released I found someone a friend recommended I went to so that I could get my runner back." It took me a second to remember that he was talking about the motorcycle. "He helped me out big time, but as I was getting away from Security, I crashed. Leo and Luna found me and picked me up. When I woke up I had some amnesia and I couldn't even remember my name." Just like me. "After dueling Leo, I regained it and I left, not wanting to get them into trouble due to my mark." I nodded, getting more and more engrossed in the story.

Yusei then went on to explain why he was in the city, and why he had entered the tournament. "During all of these events a strange marking had been showing up on my arm, eventually it just stayed there, permanently." He then explained to me what the Signers were and how they had to fight the Dark Signers. I shivered as I remembered the one called 'Kiryu'. When Yusei ended his story I could see sadness plastered on his face. "That wasn't him." I said trying to reassure him. "That was not Kiryu, I know I've never met him, but it just didn't feel right."

He gave me a grateful smile before standing up. "Anything?" he asked before he walked over to me. I shook my head. The Signers had gotten my interest but other than that I couldn't remember anything. He kneeled down next to me and grabbed my hand with his. His finger circled my palm as I relaxed a bit. "Cloths?" I asked, torn between wanting to keep them off but not wanting to be embarrassed in front of Yusei. He laughed a bit before leading me back into the bedroom to get me something to put on.

*Kiryu*

Everything was going according to plan, the only thing left was to get rid of the annoyances. I felt a twinge in the back of my mind and I knew that Kiryu was awake. Why couldn't he just disappear? I gritted my teeth as I glared at the three other Dark Signers that were seated at the table in front of me. They all had their hoods up but I could tell who each and everyone was.

'Carly', 'Misty', 'Devack', more annoyances, but they were useful annoyances. I watched as 'Carly' simply giggled to herself randomly, 'Misty' had her arms crossed while her body language declared that she was bored. 'Devack' was nervous, if anything. He kept squeezing his fingers into a fist and then loosen them again. "When is 'he' coming?" 'Devack' suddenly asked as he kept at his gripping and loosening.

I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes as I smiled at the thought of 'him' coming. "Soon . . . ." I said simply, making the other three shiver in anticipation. "That girl, Star, we will use her." Three head were suddenly turned toward him in panic.

"Star's alive?"

"Impossible!"

"I'll kill her myself . . . ."

"What are we going to do?""The others might be alive as well."

I waited for them to settle down before I interrupted, "Do not worry, it appears that she doesn't remember anything, but she has bonded already, with Yusei." The others exchanged glances with one another. I knew what they were thinking. Such a bond could be useful, but also fatal. "What's more," I continued. "Is that the others do not appear to be with her, she's alone."

A tension that had been lingering in the air suddenly released itself as I said those words. Star was trouble enough, but if the others were to awaken as well then there would be trouble.

'Misty' was the first one to speak up. "So, what is your plan? I am assuming you have one." I grinned, I liked 'Misty' the most, she was so perspective, a lot smarter than the other two. I chuckled a bit as I went over the plan in my head before explaining it.

"First," I said with delight in my tone, "We take Star."

Me: DONE!

Friend: Cliffhangers . . . are . . . evil . . . .

Me: Deal with it.
