The sun had already set when Kari came home." *sigh* I am glad I am finally home. That scoop took longer than I thought." She said while opening the front door. Just when she closed the door and turned around she yelped. Right before her stood Astral with his arms crossed.

Quickly she regained her composure and tried to pass Astral. But he floated in front of her blocking her path.

Kari groaned. "What do you want?" She sneered at him.

"I want to talk to you." He said calmly although his eyes were burning with anger.

"There's nothing to talk about. Now get out of my way." Kari said.

"You think it is right? The way you treat Yuma like that." Astral asked.

"I am..."

"Because I think it is just cruel how you force a 13 year old boy to make such a horrible choice." Astral interrupted.

"What happened between my brother and me is personal. I don't need you telling me how to behave against my brother." Kari said with her hands on her hips.

Astral's eyes shot an angry glare. "Not if you hurt him with it." Astral said. "Now listen..."

"No." Kari said.

"What do you mean 'no'?" Astral asked.

"You know, what humans say when we don't mean 'yes'." Kari said.

Astral sighed. "I know what it means."

​"Besides I don't have to listen to you." Kari said.

"Kari, I am serious here." Astral said.

"So am I. Now go aside." Kari said pushing Astral away.

This was the final straw for Astral. Not even Yuma's short-temper and stubbornness couldn't make him angry. But his patience with Kari's behaving had ran out. While Kari walked by him he made a decision.

"I really wish It didn't have to come to this Kari. But you leave me no choice." Astral said. He reached out his hand, grabbing Kari's shoulder. Then both disappeared with a flash leaving an empty room behind.

Kari's scream echoed through the machine of the emperor key. Astral winced from the shrill sound.

"Where? What? How?" Kari ranted. She turned to Astral with an angry face. "Where did you take me?" She screamed.

"You're inside the emperor key." Astral answered calmly.

Kari gasped. "The emperor key? You mean that pendant Yuma wears?" Quickly she looked around wondering how all of this fit inside that little pendant.

"How...How can that be?" She said in disbelief.

"There is more to the key that meets the eye." Astral explained.

Kari stamped closer to Astral. "Why did you bring me here? Let me out!" She demanded.

"No." Astral simply said.

"What do you mean 'no'?" Kari asked.

"You know, what you humans say when you don't mean 'yes'." Astral said with a smirk.

"Why you little." Kari growled before she threw he fist at Astral, intending to punch his face.

But Astral quickly responded by flying up, floating about the enraged girl.
