Chapter one

Crow walked into the living room with a first aid kit. He handed it to Yusei, a young teen with black hair and yellow stripes spiked out on either side of his head. Yusei had fair peach skin and a well-shaped feminine body. He had beautiful blue eyes that held confidence and kindness.

Crow, on the other hand, was one year younger than Yusei. His skin was soft, and his slanted dark green eyes held mischief. His red hair bushed out like a cockatoo bird's tail. His cheeks had yellow markings, and his eyebrows were shaped like checkmarks. He wore a brown short-sleeve vest and an orange shirt. Black straps were on each of his biceps, and he had gray fingerless gloves. His pants were brown.

"Yusei," Crow finally spoke up. His friend looked up from what he was doing. "You need to get out of the relationship you have with Kiryu. It's not healthy for you to stay with him!"

Yusei closed his eyes. "But if I try to and stay, I might help him ..." I won't let Kiryu hurt Jack! "I know." Yusei sighed and opened his eyes with pain and confusion.

Yusei was rammed into the wall hard. The cell phone in his hand dropped to the floor. The intruder picked the phone up and put it to his ear.

"I'm sorry, but this number is no longer in service." the intruder snapped the cell phone in two.

Yusei managed to reach his feet and face the attacker - Kiryu—a pale teen with light blue hair. The look in his golden eyes was not human. The two glared at each other. Before Yusei could do anything, Kiryu took hold of his arm and twisted it behind his back. Kiryu leaned in and licked Yusei's cheek.

"We don't want anything to happen to Jack, now … do we?" Kiryu murmured seductively.

Crow watched Yusei for a moment until his cell phone rang. Crow didn't have to look; Crow picked the phone up and put it to his ear. "Jack. Yes. He's fine. You want to talk to him?"

Yusei sighed as Crow handed the phone over to him. "Hey, Jack."

"What in the world were you doing at Kiryu's?" Jack demanded. Yusei didn't respond."Fine! Don't tell me what's up! But I'm coming over."

Jack grabbed his white coat and gloves. He stepped out of his condo and walked into the garage. Right in front of Jack is the motorcycle he and Yusei made together. He put his helmet on, inserted the key, and started the engine. Exhaust fumes smoked into the room as Jack revved up the engine. He stepped on the gas pedal, causing the back tire to screech. The motorcycle lurched forward as its back swayed back and forth. Jack pressed on the gas again, and he set out.

Jack was halfway down the street when he saw flashing red and blue lights. Jack didn't have to look over his shoulder. He knew who it was. Trudge - a motorcycle cop - loved to give Jack and Yusei a hard time about their relationship.

"Where do you think you're going?" Trudge called out, catching up with the blonde. "You know Godwin will not approve of you seeing Mr. Fudo, right?"

"Do you think I care?" Jack ordered, stepping on the gas and revving up the engine. "Now buzz off!"

I won't let this wise-ass chase - a smirk made his way to Jack's soft pink lips. Jack never had a chance to test his motorcycle to its full potential. Okay. Let's see what this thing can do! Jack veered the bike a little to the right and then left. Jack repeated this action to annoy Trudge. Jack made a sharp turn to drive down an ally. Trudge smirked. I have you now. The motorcycle cop did the same action, but he didn't count on a ten-foot-high gate in his way. Trudge gasped in shock. He veered his motorcycle and leaned to the side, and the bike came to a rough halt. Trudge glared through the fence as he watched Jack vanish into the night sky.

Crow opened the door after the first knock and allowed Jack in.

"Where's Yusei?" Jack wanted to know, pushing Crow out of the way.

"He's alright," Crow reassured, following Jack into the living room.

They stared at each other for a moment. Jack's violet widened; Yusei had scrapes on his arms, his shirt was torn down the middle, and his head looked a little bashed in. A growl escaped from the back of Jack's throat, getting Yusei's attention.

"What happened?" Jack finally asked.

"Kiryu's been having a hard time, so I've been trying to help him," Yusei explained, not making eye contact with the blonde.

Jack narrowed his eyes for a moment before he started to rummage through the first-aid kit. Crow walked out and came back with soapy water and a rag.

"I'm off to bed," the red-haired teen informed. "I have to be at the orphanage by eight. A little Chinese girl will be adopted, and I made her a gift."

Yusei winced after he watched his best friend exit the room. By this point, Jack had started to clean Yusei's left arm. The two were silent until Jack spoke up.

"Yusei, I'd rather you don't go near him. You know he's still angry with you for not returning his feelings."

Yusei closed his eyes. He knew that Jack was right, but Yusei wanted to prove to Kiryu that he would still be his close friend no matter what.
