Me: YAY! ITS FINALLY DONE!

Friend: Hmm, I like it, although I don't like it. Does that make sense?

Me: NOPE!

*Yusei*

Everything was hectic as expected when we finally reached Martha's. Jack was angry at me and kept saying things like, "You should have had her back at eleven!" Or "Why is she wearing you cloths?". It made it hard not to think of him as like her father or something. Akiza looked a bit mad, but let it go after she saw Star's condition. Leo and Luna were too young to even understand what it meant for a girl to spend a night at a guy's house and Crow was just happy that we were back.

"Yusei." Jack said sternly as he gave me a serious look. "Carly's gone." I nodded, understanding. Akiza had gone to check on Misty while Jack went to check on Carly. It was as we had expected, they were Dark Signers again. There was just the question as to why they were Dark Signers again.

Leo and Luna had taken the opportunity to play with Star and Crow. I watched as they went outside, Crow giving me a glance before closing the door. I silently thanked him and promised myself to tell him and Luna everything afterwards. "Does anyone have an idea as to who the fifth Dark Signer may be?" I asked Akiza and Jack as they exchanged glances. "It's not Bommer. Crow looked into that and said that he seems happy with his family." I nodded, slightly relieved. "How about Rudger?" I asked, even though I knew it was probably impossible, seeing as he was dead. Akiza shifted a bit before answering. "Both him and Rex are still gone as far as we know."

I knew for a fact that there had to be a least five Dark Signers. There could be more, but it was more like they were being controlled by the main five. "Who could it be?" I asked under my breath as I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms. Jack took a sip of the coffee he had been holding while Akiza just simply shrugged. It was a mystery, and not a good one.

I looked out the window to see Leo tackling Crow, while Star and Luna watched and laughed. Why did they have to come back? I asked myself as I watched Star smile, knowing that as long as the Dark Signers were around, she wouldn't be able to do that. I also thought about Kiryu. Even when he was a Dark Signer he had an awareness that he was Kiryu. Now it was like whoever Kiryu was now had only been watching the events and not experiencing them.

A stinging pain slashed itself on my arm. I flinched as I felt my birthmark burn through my skin. I pulled up my sleeve to see that it was glowing. I looked over at Jack and Akiza who's marks were also glowing. "What is this?" I asked as I pushed my arm forward so that everyone could see it. The other two did the same. An eerie silence was passed through all of us.

A scream ringed through the silence making us all jump into action. It had come from outside. Star's there. My mind raced as I threw open the door only to see an unconscious Crow on the ground, and Leo holding Luna who was bleeding from the arm. Star was nowhere to be seen, but I could hear a cruel laughter echo around us.

I looked around, desperate to find any sign of Star. Until I spotted a cloaked figure on top of the roof. There, 'Kiryu' stood, holding an unconscious Star in his arms. He was laughing as I stared him down. "Shocked, Yusei? Why don't you come and take her back?" I clenched my teeth, knowing that even if I did run on the roof he would just run away, and also that there were about three other people surrounding us.

"She's got nothing to do with this!" I heard Akiza yell and I looked over to see that she was just as angry as I was. "Let her go, Kiryu!" Jack yelled as well, only with more pride. 'Kiryu' only laughed at them, "As a matter of fact, she has everything to do with this." His black and gold eyes glared down at me. "Haven't you ever wondered where your precious Stardust Dragon went?" That confused me a bit, until I realized what he was talking about.

"She may have similarities with my Stardust Dragon, but she can't be it. For one, cards cannot become human." It just didn't make sense, a card couldn't become human, could it? 'Kiryu's' face suddenly became serious, as if calculating. "I thought you were a genius, Yusei. No matter. It is true a card cannot become a human, but what if that card contained a spirit within it?" My eyes widened, "It can't be! Then she would be a Dragon not a human!" A chuckle escaped 'Kiryu's' lips.

"That does not matter now." he said in a dangerously low tone. "For now, all you need to do is meet me at the place where it all started tomorrow night. If not, well then I guess Star will have to enjoy me for a night instead of you." My eyes widened at his comment. He didn't intend to kill her, he wanted to break her. I glared and gripped my arm, trying to ignore the pain. "'The place where it all started'?" I asked trying to keep him distracted, but it didn't work. He only laughed hysterically as he disappeared into darkness.

"NO!" I yelled as I watched the last of Star's light be engulfed in the darkness that surrounded her. I was so useless! I couldn't save Star, Luna and Crow were injured and I knew for a fact that everyone was angry. We needed a plan, and fast.

*Star*

I had a terrible headache when I woke up. I tried to open my eyes but everything was blurry which wasn't a good sign. I had a faint understanding of my situation but even so my brain wouldn't allow me to concentrate on anything.

I tried to move, but with no success, my body felt heavy and weak. I looked in front of my to see a man with silver hair and a wide grin. He looked familiar but I couldn't place him. Why was he here anyway? I tried to remember just what had happened.

I was playing with Luna and Leo when Crow came out to play too. Then . . .then . . . . I felt a sharp pain go through my skull as I remembered a hand grabbing the back of my neck. A cloth with weird smelling liquid was covering my mouth and nose to a point where I felt dizzy. I heard Luna scream, but then, nothing. What had happened? Where was I? Why was I in pain? Was everyone else alright?

Four different laughs filled the room and I spun my head around to see three other cloaked figures. My mind was slowly becoming clearer as I realized who I was in front of. The Dark Signers.

"Great job 'Kiryu'." purred a voice that made me go cold. I looked over to see that it was a female. "So this is the great Star?" laughed the other male as he kicked my side. It wasn't that painful but it did make me groan.

"Now, now 'Devack'. You must remember that she doesn't have her memory yet." I twisted my body, only realize that my hands and ankles were tied together. I turned my head a bit so I could glare at everyone who was standing over me. No one stands over me! I flinched as the voice in my head practically screamed it. Stop! I shouted in my mind but the voice continued. Do they even know who they are picking a fight with? I will kick their asses!

"Defiant are we?" said the other female, she leaned in to whisper something in my ear, "Maybe I should punish you for getting so close to my 'Darling Jack.'". I shivered at the voice. It was so cold, greedy and evil. I knew immediately that this person, ALL of these people could kill without a second thought.

Suddenly a pair of hands lifted me up. I squirmed but my tied wrists and ankles made it difficult to fight back. "Feisty, eh?" 'Kiryu' said as he carried me through a door and practically threw me onto a bed. I struggled even more as he untied my wrists only to retie them to the bars situated at the top of the bed. "NO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was scared, terribly. I wanted to get rid of my fear, to be brave, but how could I in this situation?

I struggled and struggled until I felt blood drip down my arm from my wrist. 'Kiryu's' eyes narrowed as he leaned forward to look at them. "If you touch me, I'll bite my tongue off." I felt the hand on my arm tense. Slowly, but menacingly, 'Kiryu' pulled back to look at me full in the face. "You'll what?" He asked with his glowing gold pupils. I swallowed, deciding to put up a brave front, even if I was really scared. "I'll kill myself, then Yusei won't have a reason to come." It was apparent that this was a trap for Yusei. I wasn't stupid.

A laugh escaped 'Kiryu's' lips, but it was more of a chuckle. "How is he to know that you are dead then?" I chewed my lip. Hadn't thought of that. "He'll know." I said finally. "Even if I am a ghost, I'll make sure that he knows." He lifted himself up and went to the other side of the room to grab something. I couldn't see what, but I had a pretty good idea.

'Kiryu' peered over his shoulder and smirk at my expression. "Relax, it's not a torture device." I shuddered a bit as he said 'torture'. "On the contrary, this will save your life." He turned around so quickly that I was afraid he was going to attack. The next thing I knew he had stuffed a gag in my mouth. It was so big that my tongue was pushed to the back of my throat where my teeth couldn't reach it. I coughed, trying to get it out. For a minute I couldn't breathe, until I concentrated my breaths through my nose.

"Now," he whispered in my ear before licking it. I jerked away from the touch. "Let's see you kill yourself when I touch you now." I closed my eyes preparing for the worst. I felt a hand on my breast and a tongue on my neck. It was so disgusting that I couldn't even move. I tried to think of something else, anything else. Pancakes, ice cream, it all led back to Yusei. His warmth, his touch, his smile. I thought of everything about him, everything that could relieve me from this hell.
