“What do you mean? It’s always been this way.”

   “Shh!! Keep calm, I don’t know what’s happening either, but you don’t have to make a lot of noise if you want to survive..” Actually, did not have much time since Juudai woke up from an unconscious state, it was a wet and dark place, like a kind of abandoned warehouse. The only thing that knew that the other boy who was sleeping next to him was another victim of that possible kidnapping but,. why him?.

For Juudai it was not the first time that this kind of thing happened to him, but nevertheless, he had made sure to erase his steps in every place that he traveled, but apparently, it had not worked at all.

Now the real question was, use yubel to escape? that would only ensure his own escape, but … that boy, would it be worth freeing haou to try to save him too? apparently the kidnappers were not close but it was also not sure how much time they had left to survive if they were still useful for those people, Juudai had to make a decision soon.

  “I’m Juudai Yuuki—” He said whispering and quickly as his adrenaline rose, moving his head in all directions in search of some possible leak . “—Your name and why do you think you are here too?.” He returned his gaze to him trying to be clear.

The words had left his mouth as soon as he realized the situation he was in. It was probably a weak attempt to stop the panic rising up inside of him. This kind of situation was too much of a reminder of something he never wanted to go back to. He couldn't really tell how he ended up here. What exactly had happen before he had passed out - what he probably must have had at some point, otherwise he wouldn't had been able to wake up again, right? - and at first he thought he was dreaming again. Just one of those stupid nightmares he already knew from his past. But there was this boy sitting next to him and so it probably wasn't a dream.

So what..?

Biting down on his lower lip he listened to the reply he got. Well.. it wasn't much of a help at all. And even less reassuring. Survive? To be honest Takeru had tried his best not to think about the possibility that he might could die here. It was really waking up memories he wanted to be gone.

       “Ho ho– and how will you do that?, I wonder …” Rude. A traveler, no. A duelist had strangely fallen to these lands, even though it had been some time since the last duelist was exterminated, this one did not look like those of his world, no, maybe, he came from another dimension? some that is not within his domains? that aroused the curiosity of the dark king on transcendental scales… Oh!? Does that mean he can not die so easily?.

Honestly what kind f answer was that? Yusei might not realized the whole consequences of the situation he found himself into so leaving might sound easier for him than it probably was. He couldn't help it. Sure enough he didn't know how he ended up here but that didn't mean he wasn't able to leave at all, did it?

"What's there to wonder about? I'd just open that door and leave this place?"

"I've been checking you out."

Juudai stared up into golden eyes, his lips now pressed shut as a finger was pressed against them. His cheeks dusted with light pink for no known reason other than perhaps something in the tone of Haou’s voice--or maybe something in the look in his eyes? Juudai wasn’t sure why he felt a little flustered.

“I,” he tried to speak again despite being hushed by the finger, “said I want to duel--”
