Me: Lemon in this chapter.

Friend: Is that all you're going to say?

Me: . . . .

Friend: I'll take that as a 'yes'.

*Yusei*

I pulled Star's figure closer to my chest. She was surprisingly small, smaller than I remembered. It had only been about three days and yet she had shrunken this much? I rested my head on her neck and kissed it lightly. She gave a huge sigh as she let her body sink against mine, completely relaxed. I rubbed her wrists with my thumb, hoping to get blood moving through them. They were so purple that I was afraid that they would be lifeless. She flinched a bit at my rubbing but I could tell it was helping already because she didn't say anything.

I had taken off the choker, but I didn't feel it necessary to keep her awake just to change her cloths. I like the dress personally, and the fact that it was her mother's didn't bother me. It was the fact that there could have been only one person that had changed her into it. I gritted my teeth in irritation. 'Calm down, Yusei.' I heard Junk Warrior say in my ear, but I didn't see him appear. I sighed. Alone time was really hard to come by with this new ability of mine.

I removed my deck from my waist and set it on the floor. Sorry, Junk Warrior. But do you think you could give us some privacy? I asked in my head, trying not to sound rude. 'No problem' I heard him answer and just like that the presence was gone.

I leaned my head onto Star's shoulder again and breathed in. Something wasn't right. I took another breath, only this time it was through my nose. I held myself still, which Star seemed to notice. "Yusei?" She asked a bit before holding my hand a little tighter. I smelled iron. She smelled like blood.

"Star . . ." I said, trying to be calm as I smelled even more disturbing things. "What did he do to you?" I felt her tense a little. I knew I wasn't going to get a straight answer out of her but I was angry anyway. Why wouldn't she tell me? The smell was enough to make me sick to my stomach, I couldn't let her stay like this.

I pulled her up in my arms and walked over to my bathroom. I only had a shower, but that was all I needed. I let her sit on the counter as I began to run the water, waiting for it to get warm. I looked over at Star who had her eyes downcast to her hands. I shut my eyes for a minute before walking over to her.

"Star?" I asked.

She continued to look at her hands.

"You don't have to tell me."

Still no response.

"but you will show me." I growled, a little frustrated as I pulled her dress down.

To my surprise, she didn't struggle. Her gray-blue eyes continued to stare at her hands, or more specifically her wrists. I gritted my teeth as I first saw kiss marks on her neck, but that was nothing compared to how I was shaking in anger at the bruises on her breasts and side. I traced a finger on them and she shivered in response. I could only imagine how painful this was for her. How dare someone leave a mark on her skin.

I leaned in and kissed the bruises, not pushing down, but hard enough so that she could feel my lips. I felt her shudder again as I moved up from her breasts and onto her neck. Licking away the kiss marks. I stopped and raised my head to look at her face. I pushed back some of her bangs with my finger to see more bruises at the side of her face. Even bloodied and mangled, she was beautiful.

I picked her up so that she was on her feet and I pushed down the dress even further. More bruises, cut marks, kiss marks. They were everywhere. Her silky skin had been tarnished, she had been obviously violated, I just hoped it hadn't gotten any further.

Finally, the dress slipped down her hips and legs, revealing the rest of the damage. The bottom half of her legs had obviously been gripped tightly, as the black spots held the same shape as fingers, but her hips and upper legs had remained untouched. Kiryu had held his darker half back in time. I was relieved a little, but only a little. She hadn't been wearing any underwear.

I turned to check the heat of the water, just right.

I looked over my shoulder to see Star looking at me nervously. I smiled at her and held out my hand. She stepped forward and took it with hers. The warmth of her skin on my hand made me want to never let go of her, but once she was inside the shower, I had to.

I pulled off my own cloths, letting her get used to the warmth of the water before stepping in myself.

All I could see was her back as I felt the raining pelts of water fall on me. It was surprisingly uninjured, compared to the rest of her body. I raised my hand to her shoulder, only to feel her quivering. Was she scared of me? I didn't know, but she was a lot more jumpy than before.

I rubbed my thumb on her shoulder and pulled her closer to me so that I could rest my chin on her head. She felt so small in my arms. So delicate, that I was scared she was going to break like glass at any second. I held her closer and breathed in her scent again. It was better, but not completely gone.

"You smell like him." I growled, unable to contain all of my anger. She looked up at me in surprise as I looked blankly at her. I turned her around so that she was facing me and I pushed her up to the wall. I kissed her with full force, trying to replace that godforsaken scent with my own. She tensed, but kissed back all the same.

I didn't even ask for permission as I entered her mouth. She moaned automatically as our tongues played with each other. Her arms were around me as her fingers were lightly digging into my back. I broke the kiss and began to work on her neck and breasts. I heard her panting, only turning me on even more. "Yusei . . ." she said weakly as I sucked on her nipple. The heat of the water only seemed to get us even more into it.

I lifted my head, only to pull her into another kiss. She answered back with no hesitation. Her hips rocked against my exposed length, making me harder than ever. My hand slip between her legs, fingering her wet clit. A startled moan escaped her lips as she shivered in anticipation. I kissed her neck and collarbone before hearing her say, "B-bed . . ." I smiled before turning off the water with one hand grabbing a towel from the counter, keeping her beside me all the while.

It was the longest two minutes of my life before we were finally dry and sprawled on my bed. Her underneath me, with a knee rubbing my crouch as I sucked on her breast and fingered her rubbed her nipple with my thumb. I slid my hand in-between her legs once again, only this time I inserted a finger. I watched as she bit back a moan. I moved my finger around a little before pushing in another. She didn't have time to hold her voice back this time, as a moan escaped her lips.

I licked my way on her neck, feeling her muscles tense and her vocal cords vibrate as more moans made their way through. "Yusei . . . Oh Yusei!" she repeated as I removed my fingers to feel the juices on them. I hesitated a bit before deciding on what to do, "Star? Love? I'm sorry, I don't think I have the strength to be gentle tonight." I knew that my will had weakened over these past three days, and I knew that I would probably go overboard.

Gray-blue eyes found mine as she looked me over, "I trust you." was all she said, surprising me and making me happy at the same time. I positioned myself over her and pushed myself in with an unknown force. Stilling when I felt her tightness close over my entire length, I heard her breath quicken, as did my own. I pulled out but only to thrust myself back in again. I quickened, she was incredible, she only seemed to get tighter with each thrust and I only seemed to be going deeper and deeper. "Yusei!" She yelled, indicating that her release was soon, but I wasn't done yet.

I pulled out and repositioned her so that she was on her stomach. I pulled her hips up so that she was on her knees and reentered. She yelled in pleasure as her face was buried in the pillow and her clit got even tighter with the knew position. I leaned forward and pulled her closer as I increased my speed. "Oh god! Yusei!" She screamed, as I pushed down once again, only this time, hitting her sweet spot. I made note of that and thrust myself at the same angle, causing her to shivered and thrash her head in pleasure.

I felt it coming, I could feel my cock stiffen and pulse as a warmth came from my stomach. I gave one last thrust before releasing myself into her, triggering her to cum as well. I collapsed on her with my chest against her back. My hand found hers and I laced my fingers around it. I panted into her shoulder a bit before once again smelling her. Despite how sweaty we both were, she smelled of fresh flowers and honey. I smiled as I knew it was her scent. She was mine once again.

*Crow*

I stood with Jack in Yusei's kitchen as we waited for the coffee to finish. There was utter silence as we both glanced at each other and then around the room. It was rare that Yusei would let us in his apartment, it was like he was scared that we would break something.

The neatness had thrown me off but then as I thought about it, Yusei was rarely here. What did there need to be cleaned if you were never here to mess it up in the first place? I pondered over the thought as Mr. Unsociable sat on the couch with his arms crossed. I pouted a bit as I was the one who had to make the coffee, but then again, knowing Jack, he would probably find a way to burn it.

About an hour had past and we still hadn't heard anything from Yusei, who was nursing Star in the other room. I was about to go check up on them when I heard the sound of running water. Yusei's gonna make her take a shower? I asked myself, Or is he taking a shower? Either way I shouldn't bother them. I went and poured Jack and myself some coffee.

After handing him the mug I could have sworn I saw a light smile on his lips, but I dismissed it. Jack Atlas didn't smile, or at least, not in front of anyone. About ten minutes had passed before I heard the shower turn off. I waited and sipped my coffee, hoping to wake up from the long night we had just had. Jack got up and leaned against the wall, by the door to Yusei's bedroom.

There was a sputtering sound as I looked over at Jack who's eyes were wide. I raised an eyebrow, "I may not be the best at making coffee but you can at least swallow it." When Jack didn't answer, I knew something was wrong. "Yo! Earth to Jack Atlas? You OK?" His look of shock turned to that of anger as I walked over to see what was wrong.

Instead of seeing what was wrong I heard what was wrong. There were noises coming from the bedroom, and not the innocent kind let me tell you that. "I'm going to kill him." mutter Jack as he was about to stomp through the doorway. I grabbed his collar and forced him back from the door. "You will not!" I said, surprising myself at the sternness in my voice. "We aren't Star's guardians, and Yusei is an adult." I understood Jack's feelings but we didn't have a right to interrupt. Even as I thought about what they were doing my face flushed.

I sighed at Jack's silent stubbornness and pulled him to the front door. Setting the mugs on the table before doing so. I threw open the door and Jack along with it. It was a good thing that he was even more tired than I was, and I had, had coffee, while he spit his out. Or else I may not have been able to accomplish something like that.

I went outside the door myself, shutting it behind me. I stood there with Jack, having an unusual glaring contest. "Fine." was all he said as he stomped away. I shook my head before following. I knew that Yusei was going to have to deal with Jack later, but it would be good to let him have his alone time with Star first. They really needed it.

Me: Did ya like it? Did ya? Did ya? Did Ya?

Friend: You're reeeeeally annoying.

Me: I know! TEEHEE!
