Friend: More what?

Me: More reviews . . . .

Friend: They make you happy don't they?

Me: YUPPPPPPPP! They keep me writing!

*Yusei*

I was the first to wake up. The warmth of Star was radiating from my arms. She was still asleep, leaning her head on my chest as her eyelids twitched a bit. I saw her face expression change from peacefulness to pain as she started crying in her sleep. A nightmare?

"Star?" I asked, wondering if she was ok, but she started thrashing a bit. "Star? Love? STAR?" It got so bad that I had to pin her wrists down to the bed. I kissed her mouth, trying to get her to calm down. Fortunately, it worked. Her muscles started relaxing as her lips slowly curled up to kiss me back. I broke the kiss and released her wrists, rubbing them apologetically.

"Yusei?" She asked in a pain-stricken voice. "I'm sorry . . . " she said as she realized what she had been doing. Did 'Kiryu' really hurt her that badly? "Oh, god Yusei." She said as tears increased, I pulled her closer, "Shh, it's ok. You're safe now . . ." I said in her ear but that only seemed to make her cry even more. "I-I-I'm safe but . . . Oh, Yusei. You have no idea. I dreamt that you had the same eyes as 'Kiryu'. You weren't yourself either and . . .and . . ." she didn't continue as she tried to wipe away her own tears.

"Shh, it's alright. It was just a nightmare." She nodded into my chest. I held her even closer and pondered over her dream as she cried herself to sleep once again.

She had dreamt that I had the same eyes? I shook my head at myself, it was only a nightmare. It was one that had scared Star to the point of tears . . . . The eyes couldn't be everything, there had to be something else she dreamed about, something she wasn't willing to tell me, yet.

I wiped away any remaining tears from her cheeks and watched her dream. It was a happy one this time, I could tell by the smile on her face. I traced her lips with my thumb as I held her chin in my hand. She was so soft, so innocent, but despite the innocence I knew she was strong. How could a simple nightmare scare her so badly? Unless it wasn't a nightmare. I thought, She could be getting her memory back.

Her memory. Star Cluster Nightdust. It still confused me. Even if she was getting her memory back why did she dream of me as Dark Signer? It was likely that recent events were twisting her memories into horrors. Some sort of psychological thing I guessed.

I tried to think of different things. Like last night. I knew I had went overboard. She was probably going to be sore, too. I blinked at another realization that came across my mind. I came inside her again! I groaned at my ever-growing stupidity. Why didn't I use a condom? Where did I get a condom for that matter? It was almost assured that she would get pregnant now. I would have to take her to the doctor's in a few weeks . . .

Even as I was thinking of this I couldn't suppress the excitement building in my chest. I knew it was wrong to have a child at this age, and I knew that it would be a lot of work. I understood it and yet there wasn't a slight bit of hesitation that she should have this child if she was pregnant. Abortion would not be an option. Not for us, anyway. I knew Star would feel the same.

I moved my arm a bit so that I could run my fingers through her hair. She sighed in her sleep before nuzzling my chest a bit. I frowned as another thought came to mind, could she have children? It was odd, we had not taken her to a doctor yet. Why hadn't we? Well, because she looked completely healthy! Now I wasn't so sure . . .her memory, at least would have to be looked into. But was it the best idea for her to gain her memories? If they were painful enough to forget completely then it would probably be best for her not to gain them back.

I thought back to what Crow and Jack told me as we walked back to my place.

*Flashback*

"She ok?" asked Crow as I held her on my back. I nodded, not wanting to think of what she had been through. "Good." said Jack as he was the only on walking with a straight back. I raised an eyebrow at him before looking back down at my feet.

"How were your duels?" I asked. I didn't need them to tell me. I knew already. Jack stiffened, "I won, of course! Carly's back, so there's nothing to worry about!" I rolled my eyes at his growing pride. "I got a draw . . ." said Crow, "but the guy did come to his senses." I shrugged, we couldn't all win completely, even I came dangerously close . . .

"There was this really weird thing though . . . ." Crow continued, "It was like he remembered something, and that he had something extremely important to do but he couldn't tell me." I narrowed my eyes. That was what happened to me too. I knew Kiryu had been lying about the dress but I just couldn't bring myself to ask further questions. Jack looked in the other direction and I knew what he was thinking. Carly had the same reaction. Just what was going on? We remained silent and continued walking with these new thoughts.

*End Flashback*

It was unnerving to think that they left when they got their memories back. I was scared that Star would do the same. Would she leave me as soon as she found me? I shivered a bit as I held her a bit tighter. It . . .terrified me to think that I could never see her again. I looked down at her peaceful face and wiped her bangs away a little. I stopped my movement when I saw something under her eye. I looked closer to see . . .scales? Silver scales, about five of them, were resting under her eye. I checked the other one. Yes, they were there too.

Another, horrible thought came to me. Would she be trapped in that card again? If she was turning back into a dragon then wouldn't she be forced back into the card? Imprisonment . . .that's what it was. A jail for her soul. I couldn't allow that. I wouldn't let it happen. I loosened my grip on her so that I could run my fingers through her hair again. Nothing would keep her from me.

*Star*

It was a cold dream. Something that consumed me completely. Yusei was next to me, staring into space. I watched as the whites of his eyes were tainted black and a red glow came from his iris. It horrified me, but I didn't run. Instead I clung to the sleeve of his shirt. "I'm a monster, Star." was all he said as a black tear dripped off of his cheek. I was shivering like mad, but I didn't dare let go. Even as a monster, this was the man I loved.

I raised my hand to wipe away his tear. The black liquid burned me slightly as it steamed on my skin. He turned to face me, eyes wide at my new injury. His hand gripped my wrist as he leaned in and clamped his mouth on the wound. There was a soft noise and some light sucking coming from my finger. When he removed his mouth he licked the wound until it was fully gone. "I'm sorry." he whispered as he pulled away.

"You're not a monster." I said finally as I leaned in closer. His eyes reverted from their sinister red to a gentle blue. "You protected me." I said tilting my head, "You are kind to me. What monster can show kindness?" He shook his head violently, "I-I've killed people. I hurt you." I closed my eyes and kissed his lips.

He froze for a second before melting into the kiss. I pulled away for air to which he used as an advantage, "You . . .were never so bold before." I blinked and laughed, "Yusei, you are bold enough for the two of us." That brought a light smile to his face. "When all this is over, I'll . . ." but he never got to finish. His sentence was interrupted by his own blood-curdling scream.

A darkness seemed to come out of his skin as it swirled and consumed him. I tried to hold on to his sleeve but he pried it away from me. I watched in horror as the man I loved was in terrible pain, and I couldn't do anything about it.

The darkness rose from his mangled form and formed a dragon of sorts. I watched as it materialized and hovered over me. "D-Dark Destruction Dragon . . ." I said with a shaky voice. This was Yusei's Spirit Monster. The complete opposite of mine.

Call me. Whispered my Spirit Monster. I didn't want to. What if I hurt Yusei? Do not worry, young warrior. He will not be harmed. Call me! I debated with myself, but my reasonable side took over.

"Clustering stars bring forth a new hope! Shine your way through darkness and bring to us a new age! Take flight! Shining Star Dragon!"

Me: O.O it's not Stardust Dragon? Ooo What's gonna happen next?

Friend: You're really bad at creating suspense . . .

Me: Am I? Ah, well. Hope you like it everyone!
