A month had passed since I woke up in the fictional world of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Leo and Luna had called their parents and let them interview me for the job as the twins' babysitter. When I passed the interview, the parents were so kind and allowed me to stay in their apartment.

On the other side of the city, a man with draconic traits overheard the interview with his enhanced senses.

I had met Leo's best friend Dexter who reminded me of Tea Gardner with his hair style and color and Yugi Muto with the small lightning bang on his forehead. He could be their grandchild, but he had brown eyes. Neither Yugi or Tea had brown eyes.

When the twins learned that I had a deck, Luna loaned me her Duel Disk before I got my own so Leo could challenge me over and over again, but he always lost. I wasn't a great duelist, but I did have good strategies with my Celestial deck.

The twins were kind enough to buy me some clothes and even a Duel Disk. It was the same model as theirs, but mine was yellowish/golden to represent my Celestial deck, plus I loved the colors yellow and gold.

It was now the end of June, and July was right around the corner. The weather was warm and sunny so the twins and I decided to swim in the pool today. Dexter had come over to play with Leo and Luna. I was wearing a black bikini and my hair was tied up in a messy bun.

I stood by the pool and looked out at the high-tech city. I was thinking about what was coming next. A few nights ago, my right arm started to burn and I felt a powerful energy surge through my body. It took a few seconds for it to calm down, but I had noticed a crimson light coming from my arm. I spotted a star in the shape of a pentagram on said arm before the light faded.

If that pentagram mark had something to do with the Signers, then I wasn't aware of this star mark, or at least not what I could remember from the anime.

"Estelle!" Leo called my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turned around and looked at the kids in the pool. "Why are you just standing there? Hop in!"

I smiled lightly before walking over to the stairs, climbing down carefully and jumping in. I played with the children for the rest of the day.

I had a strange feeling during the evening. The twins and I were in the living room, going through our decks. Luna was invited to a competition, the Fortune Cup. But Leo was going to take her place, since Luna didn't feel comfortable dueling. The strange thing was I also received a invitation from this Lazar character when he showed up at the house. For some reason, he and Goodwin got word of me and decided to invite me to the competition.

I was really worried about the government finding out I wasn't supposed to be in this world. Then I would be in big trouble.

The twins and I kept checking our cards and thinking of good strategies when I suddenly felt my right arm sting. I thought it was my muscles for a second, but then I grimaced when the pain increased.

Luna must have sensed something as well because she gasped and looked up.

"What's wrong, Luna?" Leo asked his sister.

I placed my cards down on the table and walked to the door/elevator. The twins looked at me before they ran after me. I waited for them before pressing the down button. Leo continued to ask me and Luna what was going on, but neither of us answered him. I was sure I would meet my crush today, but I didn't let my inner fangirl take over.

As soon as the elevator reached the ground floor, I ran out with the twins following me. I ran to the alleyway and saw a damaged red Duel Runner on the ground. Right next to the Runner was a body, which I quickly recognized. I ran straight to Yusei's side and knelt down to see if he was seriously injured.

"Estelle, who's that?" Leo asked me.

"Is he okay?" Luna asked, worried.

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that he wasn't seriously injured before looking at the twins. "He only lost consciousness after the crash." I slowly stood up while putting Yusei's right arm over my shoulders and holding his side with my other hand. "Take his Runner. He needs help."

Luna wanted to argue, but Leo interrupted her by walking over to his Duel Runner and trying to pull it up. Luna sighed before going over to help her brother. I walked slowly and carefully with Yusei, feeling a bit warm after having my crush so close to me.

Yusei was still out cold when the twins and I checked on him in the morning. I told the twins to look after the young man while I went out to buy groceries, since we were running low on supplies. It took a half hour for me to get to the closest grocery store and a half hour back home.

By the time I returned with the groceries, I noticed Sector Security standing out front. Officer Trudge was trying to tell the guard that a criminal was inside the Tops. I managed to get past the turbulence and made it to the elevator. When I stepped off the elevator, I saw that Yusei was awake and Leo was bragging that only super rich people could live in the Tops.

"Leo, it's not polite to brag about how wealthy you are, especially with strangers." I told him as I set the two heavy plastic bags down on the floor, moaning in relief after my arms felt lighter.

The twins and Yusei turned around when they heard me.

"Welcome back, Estelle." Luna greeted her.

"I see our guest is awake now." I glanced at Yusei with a small smile as I took off my red jacket.

"Yeah! But he's got amnesia and doesn't remember his name." Leo said before looking at Yusei. "That's our new babysitter, Estelle. We found her in a alleyway, just like how we found you in one, and she's been living with us ever since."

"I see." Yusei noted.

Luna helped me carry the plastic bags to the kitchen and put the supplies away, but not the ones that I was going to use to make lunch.

"It's almost lunchtime. Is chicken curry okay, children?" I asked the twins.

"Yes!" They cheered happily.

I turned to Yusei. "How about you, Mr. Crab Man?"

"Mr. Crab Man?" Yusei raised a eyebrow in confusion while the twins snickered in the background.

"Your hair nearly resembles a crab's shape." I explained.

"Thanks, but-" Yusei was about to decline before his stomach growled, causing him to blush slightly in embarrassment.

I shook my head while tying my hair into a low ponytail. "You need to recover your strength and it's not safe for you to go outside with no memories."

"Estelle's got a good point." Leo nodded while looking at Yusei. "What if you're on a secret mission for a organization? You need to remember to complete that mission!"

"Leo, he couldn't possibly be a member of a secret organization!" Luna yelled.

"But what if he is?!"

"He's not!"

"Children, no fighting." I calmly warned them like a mother would.

"Sorry!" Both of them apologized.

XXXXXXXXXX

When we finished eating, I gave Yusei his jacket and gloves, which I had washed during the night and let them dry during the morning.

"Now that you've got your jacket on, take a deep breath and say 'My name is...' and then say your name." Leo suggested.

"He's tried that ten times already!" Luna exclaimed in annoyance. "It's obviously not working, Leo."

"Well, it worked on TV." Leo retorted.

I sighed. "Leo, you're old enough to understand that TV is different from reality. What you watch isn't always real, especially with entertainment."

Leo ignored me and kept talking to Yusei who was looking at his shrine; posters of Jack Atlas and action figures of him on his Duel Runner and his Red Dragon Archfiend.

"Hey, what'cha looking at?" Leo noticed that Yusei wasn't paying attention to him.

"Those." Yusei pointed at the stuff, causing us to turn to Leo's shrine.

"Oh, that's my shrine!" Leo smiled. "Jack Atlas is like my all time hero. He's the greatest! No one can beat him in a Turbo Duel!" I chuckled when I remembered that Yusei did defeat Jack once. "And one day, I'm gonna be the champ just like Jack!"

"You can't even ride a normal bike." Luna pointed out.

"I stayed on it for 12 seconds last time!" Leo retorted before turning his attention back to Yusei. "So, does Jack Atlas mean anything to you?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why." Yusei answered with some uncertainty.

"Maybe you're a fan of his too, or maybe you were hoping to duel him?" Leo suggested. "I mean, you are a Turbo Duelist."

"How'd you know that?" Yusei asked.

"Because we found you next to a Duel Runner." I gestured over my shoulder to a Duel Runner next to the elevator.

Yusei was quiet as he walked over to the Duel Runner. The twins and I followed him with our eyes.

"Am I right about you? Are you a big time duelist who's in town to duel Jack?" Leo excitedly asked Yusei.

"I don't think I'm a big time anything." Yusei answered as he inspected the Duel Runner.

I sighed sadly as I crossed my arms. If he only knew he was much more than he imagined.

"Maybe you should try to hypnotize him, Leo." Luna said sarcastically.

"Luna." I said in a warning tone.

"Sorry." She sighed.

Leo glared at his sister before running to the shrine where Luna's invitation to the Fortune Cup was and grabbed it before running over to Yusei. "Mister, maybe you have one of these. I'll take it out; you tell me if it looks familiar."

"Okay." Yusei nodded.

Luna and I watched as the boys exchanged words with each other until Leo excitedly said that Goodwin had chosen him to enter the competition.

"Actually, they settled me and Estelle." Luna corrected him.

Leo growled at his sister. "Technically, they selected Luna, but she's too scared to participate. So, I'm going to pretend to be her and win that thing!"

"That is if Estelle doesn't defeat you beforehand." Luna pointed out. "Besides, no one is going to believe that you're me, Leo."

Leo ran over to his sister with a angry expression. "Why wouldn't they believe? We're twins! We look nearly identical!"

While the twins argued, I walked over to Yusei who kept looking at the invitation, trying to trigger his memories.

"It doesn't remind you of anything?" I asked him.

Yusei shook his head. "Nothing at all." He turned to me. "So you're going to enter the Fortune Cup?"

I blushed when I made eye contact with Yusei, but collected myself. "Yeah...but I wouldn't call myself a great duelist." I played with a lock of my hair, which was now down. "I often lose with my Celestial deck."

"Celestial deck?" Yusei questioned.

"-still in the room." Luna said out of nowhere.

Yusei put the invitation back in the envelope. "Thanks for trying to help me and everything, but this Fortune Cup thing isn't ringing any bells." He threw the envelope back on Leo's shrine. "I should get out of here."

Yusei was about to reach the elevator when I grabbed a hold of his arm, holding him back.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I shook my head. "When I came back after getting the groceries, I saw Sector Security outside. One of the officers told the guard that there's a criminal in here, but they didn't get in no matter how hard they tried." The twins gasped after hearing that. "If Sector Security is looking for you, then it's best for you to stay here. You're twice as vulnerable with your amnesia and you need to recover from that fall."

"She's right!" Leo exclaimed before he got a idea. "I got it!" He ran over to a closet.

"Just let him go, Leo!" Luna shouted.

He ran back over to Yusei with his oversized Duel Disk on his arm. "Mister, I've got one more idea. I challenge you to a duel, Mr. Amnesia Man!"

"How would a duel help him get his memories back, Leo?" Luna asked her brother.

Leo turned to his sister. "This could help him! I saw it on TV this one time. Jack Atlas was giving a interview and he said that the way a duelist duels reveals who he really is." He turned back to Yusei. "So if you duel, you might remember who you are. Right, Estelle?"

I nodded with a smile. "It might work."

XXXXXXXXXX

Yusei agreed to duel Leo and he regained his memories just like he did in the anime. He wanted to leave for our safety, but Luna and I convinced him to spend the night.

The twins were asleep as I walked downstairs to the living room to see if Yusei was still there. He was, working on the twins' Duel Disks.

I was wearing a red nightgown and white slippers, as well as a blue/white morning robe tied around my waist.

"You know you don't have to do that." I whispered.

Yusei must have noticed me because he didn't seem surprised.

"I know, but I thought I'd give them a little something as a thank you." He said.

I nodded as I rested my hands against the couch, staring at Yusei's raven hair that had golden streaks in it. I wanted to reach my hand out and caress it, but I stopped myself. I let out a deep sigh after thinking about my sad past with no boyfriend or friends.

I collected myself before I spoke again. "Can you tell me your name? If you don't want me to tell the twins, I won't."

"It would be better if you didn't know." Yusei shook his head.

"Because knowing your name could get me into trouble." He nodded. "But I can't continue calling you Mr. Crab Man." I couldn't help but blush in response to his nickname.

Yusei placed Luna's upgraded Duel Disk next to Leo's before he looked at me. "Yusei."

"No last name?" I tilted my head before quickly adding. "You don't have to tell me what your surname is if you're trying to be cautious."

"I do have a surname, but I need to keep a low profile." Yusei replied.

"Understandable." I nodded before walking over to the kitchen. "If you're leaving, at least take some leftovers."

"You don't have to-" Yusei began, only to be cut off.

"I want to help you, Yusei." I said calmly as I returned with a Styrofoam box containing what was left of today's lunch. "And you can never be too careful if you're wandering outside alone in New Domino City."

When I walked back over to him, I noticed we were almost the same height. I was around 180 centimeters and Yusei was a few centimeters taller than me.

"You've got a good point." Yusei said as he took the Styrofoam box and stored it in a compartment under the seat of his Duel Runner. "I should go now." I nodded, following him to the elevator.

Yusei rolled his Duel Runner into the elevator and then turned to face me. "I'll repay you for your hospitality the next time we see each other."

I shook my head. "I don't need money. A duel with you is more than enough as payment."

Yusei smirked. "Okay then."

I smiled gently. "May the stars guide you, Yusei."

Those were my last words as the elevator doors closed.
