Me: LOOK EVERYONE! I know I haven't been updating anything recently, but honest to God, I've had little to no time. I've had school, clubs, the move to worry about and I'm sorry to say but my fanfic stories aren't exactly on my top priorities list right now.

Friend: Well, it should be.

Me: ANYWAY! I'll update when I can, but please remember that I'm still a student. I know I've been updating other fanfics but even those are rarely updated. When summer comes I'll be able to get back on track, but please try to understand that I'm dealing with the stress of moving halfway across the country. And in The U.S., 'halfway across the country' is a long ways.

Friend: Eh-hem

Me: Yeah, so, ENJOY YOUR FUCKING CHAPTER!

*Yusei*

I sat and contemplated my situation. Of course, I was supposed to be working on my Runner but that just didn't interest me at the moment. I looked down at my arm where the Crimson Dragon lay sleeping. If it was true, if I was the last Dark Signer, then what did it all mean? 'Kiryu's' voice kept ringing in my head, telling me things as if he were right beside me.

This had me constantly look over my shoulder for non-existent ghosts, but I've learned to ignore it. I touched the birthmark on my arm once again to reassure me. I didn't really understand what was going on but it seemed like I was slowly slipping away into the darkness.

I shook my head and looked ahead at my Runner. Even if I was falling back into darkness, I knew that Star would pull me out again. I froze in the middle of my work as I re-ran that thought in my mind. 'back'? 'again'?

I paused for a second before putting away my wrench. I needed to get home.

*Star*

I sat on the couch with my knees pulled up to my chest. This movie bothered me, and I couldn't understand why. It was an adorable movie about a young girl who wished to earn honor for her family. By doing so, she ran away to join the army even though she was a woman and it was forbidden to. She even went as far as disguising herself as a boy. There had been a happy ending and even a cute little cricket.

Yet, it still bothered me.

It didn't scare me like some other movies did, but it did move something within me way too personal then I liked. I turned off the TV and wrapped the blanket closer around me. I really wished that Yusei was here. I was even tempted to call him, (I finally learned how to use my cell phone) but I knew that I shouldn't bother him while he was working.

I sighed just as the door opened, making me jump. I looked over to see Yusei standing there, seemingly out of breath. He was leaning against the side of the entryway heavily as he tried to calm down. I got up quickly and went up to him to see if I could help."Are you OK?" I asked a little panicky.

He looked at me with his giant blue eyes before saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine." He didn't have his jacket or gloves on, I noticed as he raised his hand to stoke my cheek. "I just . . . felt like I needed to come home."

I smiled before leaning up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I missed you too." He blushed at my statement, proving my suspicions. I hugged him around the waist and let him wrap him arms around me. I sighed as my body relaxed into his arms. "I'm tired." I whispered, not really intending for him to hear me.

Yusei chuckled and lead us over to the couch. He sat down first before pulling me closer into his chest. He used the blanket to wrap around us both before relaxing onto the corner of the couch. "Let's take a nap; I needed a day off anyway." I smiled and snuggled into his embrace, letting myself drown in my own dreamland, the movie forgotten.

*Star*

I had been traveling almost nonstop for the past three days, only stopping to water my horse and scout the area. The constant time alone had given me time to think about what I was going to do next. I couldn't travel like I was, I would be too recognizable. I needed a disguise.

Also, I needed to let my horse rest. I stroked his mane as I led him to the abandoned barn we had been hiding in. It was a good place to rest and feed my horse.

I put my great beast into one of the stables before going to sit on a bale of hay. I ran my fingers through my long hair; I hesitated at I thought about my need to hide. White hair, very recognizable. I shook my head and pulled out my dagger from my belt. I pulled back my hair with my free hand before using my sharpened weapon to slice it off. I would burn the pieces later. I smiled at my cleverness; no woman would even think about wearing their hair so short. Well, no normal woman anyway.

At least I knew what I was going to do for a disguise. I went rummaging through my pack for bandages, stripping my shirt so that I could bind my breasts. No one would think about looking for a boy instead of a girl. As long as I never saw someone who's seen my face then I was fine.

When I finished I pulled my shirt over my shoulders and tucked it in the waist a bit. Damn men's clothing, they were all much too big for me. I gathered up the remains of my hair and wrapped it in a piece of rabbit skin that I had hunted a few days ago.

'As a hunter, you have to understand the hunted. You have to understand how they work, what mistakes they make and what route they would generally take. If you don't understand, you will never catch your prey.' I remembered the words taught to me by my so-called mother and father. I felt a stab of betrayed feeling run through me. NO! I wouldn't think of them, not while I was free from them.

I rubbed the tiredness from my eyes and decided it was time to get some sleep. Yeah . . . sleep.

I woke with a start at the dream, feeling the cold breeze surrounding me in the cold night. I looked over at Yusei's window to see that it was wide open. I scrambled out of the warm sheets to go over and close it. I looked back at Yusei who was sleeping soundly on his side of the bed. I smiled before looking out the open window, I was about to pull it down before I noticed something at the bottom. Whatever it was, was blurred compared to the rest, it looked like the shadow of a person, only it seemed to glow.

I slowly moved my head out the window to see if I could get a better look at whatever or whoever it was. White hair lashed out in the wind, making me at first think it was Kiryu at first. It couldn't have been though; the figure was too slim, too small. I squinted my eyes to see that it was a boy, no older then fourteen or fifteen. His clothes looked like they didn't belong in this century and he had a sword strapped to his hip.

I stared at him, he looked so hauntingly familiar. He had a cloak on his shoulders that was also fluttering in the wind. I tried to get a good look at his face but for some reason my eyes kept trailing back to his sword. Who was he? What was he doing here? Suddenly I was scared; I didn't want to find out. I didn't want to remember anymore. If I did . . . what would happen? Would I lose myself again? Like before?

"Star?" I heard a warm voice behind me. I turned my head to see Yusei sitting up in the bed, rubbing out his sapphire eyes. I looked back to find the boy gone from the pavement. I shivered as another gust of wind came through. I pulled myself in before shutting the window and pulling the shades over it.

I crawled over the bed sheets to get next to Yusei who pulled me close and kissed the top of my head. "Nightmare?" he asked, pulling the blankets over us both. I sighed and snuggled into his neck. He chuckled, making me feel the vibrations coming from his neck. "I'll take that as a 'yes', then." I shook my head.

"It wasn't a nightmare . . . more like a dream. Sorry I woke you up." I felt Yusei's arms shift under me as he moved into a more comfortable position. Yusei brought me closer before kissing my cheek and then my lips, accepting my apology through actions rather than words.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I felt him chuckle some more as I started to tease his ear and neck. "If I wake up to this every time I won't mind as much." I smiled before turning us both so that I was straddling him. I watched his mouth twitch in anticipation as I kissed down his chest, "Yup, definitely won't mind as much."

The new position gave me a thrill that I couldn't explain. It wasn't often that I was in charge when we had sex. Normally I would let Yusei take over, seeing as how it usually was a male pride thing. This time, however, I felt the need to be in control.

Yusei brought his hands up to my shoulders, they stayed there, hesitating. He knew, and was probably just as excited as I was that I was in charge. He wasn't controlling, instead his movements were careful, as if he were waiting for my permission.

I stripped out of my shirt before I took one of his hands and let it down to my breast; he gripped it with just the right amount of pressure and started twirling his thumb over the nipple. I gasped, causing his other hand to rest on my leg. I glared down at him as he continued to tease me with only the constant rubbing of his thumb. Well, two could play at that game.

I slowly slide down from his stomach to where a bulge was starting to form in his pants. Now I was sitting so that it was in front of me, gliding away from his torturous fingers. I gently placed a hand over his pants, but never reaching down to his cock. He hissed at my teasing, bucking his hips up for attention. I grinned and slowly brushed my hand over his growing erection.

For a second, I could feel his resolve in letting me lead slip. His pupils grew wide with lust and his hands were shaking with the need to do something. But he held on, keeping his hands to his side and letting me do what I wanted.

He wasn't wearing a shirt, which saved on a lot of time, but I found his PJ pants to be too distracting. I slipping my fingers underneath the fabric and pulled them down. Yusei's hard cock came out in front of me, making me realize that he hadn't been wearing underwear.

Once the pants were gone, I leaned forward to blow air on his exposed erection. He growled at me, straining his muscles to keep from flipping me over and pounding me into the bed. I slowly brought my tongue from the base of his dick to the tip. I licked the pre-cum off before enclosing my lips around it and sucking as well as I knew how too.

Yusei's moans and grunts only proved to encourage me as I used my tongue to wrap around the delicious cock. I felt Yusei shudder a bit, causing me to pull back. I couldn't let him cum, not yet. Not until he was inside me.

I looked up at Yusei who was staring at me with a mix of irritation, lust and curiosity. I slowly started taking off my panties, causing him to lick his lips in anticipation. But he wasn't in control tonight, I was.

I brought my own hand down to the space between my legs, only to feel myself getting wetter and wetter. I took my own fingers and started preparing myself in front of Yusei. I rubbed through my folds and engrossed myself in pleasure so much that I was dripping all over Yusei. He didn't seem to mind though; in fact his eyes couldn't leave my moving fingers.

When I felt ready I crawled over Yusei to position myself over his throbbing cock. I hesitated before guiding him into myself. The position we were in forced me to hesitate once I reached his hilt. He felt so much bigger this way; it was like I could finally feel all of him. Using what was left of my strength, I started bobbing myself up and down. This caused Yusei's resolve to finally break. He bucked his hips up violently, causing me to shutter and try to keep up with him.

I could feel his grip on my hips as he tried to reach up further even more. The slapping of skin and our moans mended into one as we both came to our release. I saw a flash of white before I collapsed on Yusei's heaving chest. We stayed that way, connected, for a few minutes until I finally lifted myself off and laid down on the empty side of the bed.

Yusei pulled me into his arms before bringing the blanket up to our waists.

"That was . . . interesting." I giggled at his choice of words.

"Interesting enough so that we'll do it again?" I asked, hoping for the chance to be dominant once again.

Yusei grinned down at me, "Only if I get to punish you afterwards." I kissed his nose and snuggled into his shoulder.

"Of course," I yawned before slipping into a dream.

Me: Yeah . . . that's right bitches, I still got it.

Friend: Somewhat . . . .

Me: Shut up, you aren't helping.
