A/N I've started to make It! I've started to make The Eliacube.

"Yugo are you insane?!" Adami asked his brother after they'd left their friends to unpack

"No." Yugo replied plainly as he and Adami arrived at the castle library

"You can't fight him!" Adami exclaimed as Yugo picked up a book and sat down

"Why not? I've beat him before." Yugo asked opening the book

"Last time you had the Eliacube!" Adami said taking Yugo's book

"So did he!" Yugo retorted taking his book back

"What?"

"The Eliacube, he used it, as an arm. He was ten thousand times stronger then me. I had help defeating him. That was when he had the Eliacube. He's not stronger, just more insane." Yugo replied sitting back down and beginning to read again

"Now he just wants to kill you Yugo." Adami said placing a hand on Yugo's shoulder "He has no other motive then your death."

Yugo looked up at his brother and sighed "I know Ad." Yugo out down his book "I just hate feeling helpless, like I'm unable to help."

"Hey." Adami exclaimed as he sat next to Yugo "You are not helpless Yugo. You, will never be helpless. You're the King of the Eliatropes. You are far from helpless." Adami gave Yugo a side hug "You are the strongest Eliatrope I know."

"Before Chibi and Grougal were reborn, I was the only Eliatrope you knew."

"Hey, stop it, I'm trying to make you feel better." Adami laughed

"Keep trying, it's not working to well."

Adami sighed "What book?" He asked pointing at the open book in Yugo's lap

"I don't know I just grabbed a random one." Yugo said looking at the cover of the book

"Yugo, Adami, are you in here?" A voice rang out

"Yeah." Yugo replied

Amalia walked in. "What's wrong?" She asked as she walked over to them

"N-Nothing Amalia." Yugo said blushing

"No. I saw that frown. What's wrong?"

"He feels helpless." Adami said snatching the book out of Yugo's hand

"Adami!" Yugo exclaimed trying to get the book back "C'mon! You know you're like five feet taller then me!"

"What do you mean he feels helpless?" Amalia asked

"Phaeris has told me that if Qilby were to attack I'm to hide somewhere in the castle. It makes me feel helpless. So does this jerk." Yugo said pointing at Adami

"Your words hurt me Yugo." Adami said

"Just give me the book back."

"How about.... No." Adami smirked, he loved being taller then Yugo

"Please?"

"No."

"But.... Hey Amalia could you help me?"

Amalia smiled and walked over to Adami. "Book. Now." She said glaring at Adami

"I feel like I should listen to you."

"Give me the book Adami. Or you can expect to be covered in brambles very soon."

"Fine." Adami said handing Amalia the book

"Thank you." She said as she handed the book to Yugo. When she handed him the book she saw new looking scars on his arm "Yugo what happened to your arm?"

"No one knows. We all think it was Qilby. Only he knows. And he won't tell anyone." Adami explained

"Yugo. Be honest. Did you do this to yourself?" Amalia asked pointing at Yugo's arm

"No." Yugo replied

"Who did this?"

"Qilby."

"Does it say something?"

Yugo nodded "Not long after he stabbed a knife into my pillow in the middle of the night. I was woken up by something warm on my arm, and pain. I opened my eyes, and he was there. He was cutting my arm with a knife."

"What does it say?"

"I couldn't read it. No one could. It's in some weird language. I think he was trying to kill me, I'm not sure. The cuts came close to piercing the cephalic, median, radial, basilic, median cubital, or ulnar veins, though it looks like he may have been aiming for them... You've got no clue what the cephalic, median, racial, basilic, median cubital, and ulnar veins are, do you?" Amalia and Adami shook their heads no "Vital veins, basically if they're cut, they'll bleed the most. You're more likely to die if they're cut."

"Okay... Why do you know this?" Adami asked

"Because I already knew there were veins that would be more likely to kill me. And because I'm not supposed to leave the castle. What am I gonna do other then read and work?"

"Fair enough." Adami said

"How'd Qilby get in the castle?" Amalia asked

"I don't know. But I've had to get a new room four times." Yugo said

"Four? Why?"

"The note the first time, the knife in my pillow the second, my arm the third, and.... I don't want to talk about it."

"I'll tell you later." Adami said

"Or he could tell me now." Amalia frowned she looked Yugo over. No scars on his legs, or his hands, but when she took a good look at his face, she saw the scar. Mostly hidden by his hair, a long scarring wound trailed down from the top left side of his forehead to the bottom of his chin. She gasped. "Yugo." She said softly, holding his cheek with her hand "I'm so sorry. I-I had no clue."

"It's fine Amalia." Yugo replied

"I'm guessing she saw it." Adami said

Amalia moved Yugo's hair away from the wound. Qilby was toying with him.
















To Qilby, this was all just a game of Cat and Mouse. And Yugo was the mouse.
