The Journey, of Team 5d's.

Reunion.

Tomorrow quickly rolled around, as the group of Yusei, Noah, Leo, Luna and their friend Dexter, all wandered into the duelling area of the Black Rose. Despite it being her turf, their were many duels going on around them. "You sure this is the place?" Noah turned to face Dexter, who pushed his glasses up onto his face. "This is where the research tells me she'll show up." He said matter of factly, as Luna took her brothers hand, and gently squeezed it. "What's with the interest in the Black Rose?" Luna asked, looking up at her elder brother, who sighed in response before crouching down next to her. "Honestly? I don't know, but I can't shake the feeling in my chest, that whoever she is I should be here."

He reached up to his chest, placing a hand over it. His chest felt like it was resonating with something, or someone. Like he had been linked with someone somehow, it felt bizarre and he'd never felt anything like it. Not to mention, his right arm was starting to tingle as well. Something big was about to happen, and he didn't know what. "Do you think your friend from years ago, could be the Black Rose?" Yusei asked Noah softly, trying to get as much detail as he could. But before Noah could answer, the ground began rumbling, as people went running and screaming. Then a loud roar could be heard coming over the buildings, and both Yusei and Noah grabbed their arms simultaneously as they burned with pain. But with Noah, he was also feeling something else in his chest. Pain....sadness.....loneliness.....glee at inflicting pain. 'Wait, these aren't my feelings....' He thought to himself, before turning to Yusei. "Get them out of here Yusei, I'm going ahead!" Before anyone could protest Noah had already disappeared, holding onto his arm tightly.

Once he had got through the crowd and the cloud of dust, Noah stood in front of a monster he hadn't seen in ten years, and then it hit him. Akiza, was the Black Rose Witch, and these were or are her emotions, she was enjoying making people suffer. Noah then moved closer to the dragon and the witch,  slowly taking in who and what was in front of him. His hand now off of his right arm, as he closed the gap between them. Akiza looked up and saw this guy getting closer to her, and her dragon slammed it's thorns down in front of him, and yet he kept coming forward. His right arm glowed that same horrible red as her arm, and she turned her back to walk away. Until she heard a familiar voice call her name, one she hadn't heard in a long time.

"Stop! Akiza please! Don't run, I know you're hurt and alone.....but I'm here, I'm sorry I've been gone so long. But please just.....listen to me, I want to talk. That's all I want to do right now Akiza. Please?"
