Part I

          Yet another day came to shine upon Neo Domino city, making every single person to open their eyes under the bright rays of sunlight and Hanako was not excluded from that! She felt sun rising up into the sky, as she felt warm rays of it caressing her face early in the morning, so she started waking up slowly. As she opened her eyes, she felt warmth all over her waist, realising something was wrong, as she was lying in bed, trying to come to her senses after waking up. Her hands slowly travelled to her waist and before she could realise what was going on and where she was, she turned her head over her shoulder just to see Yusei sleeping behind her with his hands wrapped around her waist, like he was protecting her; their bodies were like glued to one another, making her even more uncomfortable and confused.

"Aaargh!" Hanako screamed louder than she knew she could, moving away from Yusei's sleeping body, as she fell on the floor, while her heart was beating fast.

          Her screams echoed through the house, making Crow and Jack worried, as they both ran upstairs to Yusei's room to see what happened, while Hanako got on her knees and peaked over the edge of the bed, just to see Yusei waking up due to her screaming.

"Yusei?!?" She murmured slowly, still confused for what happened, while her eyes were blinking rapidly for a few seconds, "What are you doing here?"

          "This is my room", Yusei murmured, as his body was trying to fully wake up now. He opened his eyes, seeing Hanako looking around, like she was exploring her surroundings.

"Oh, hammers, it really is!" She muttered, "Then, what am I doing here?"

          "Yusei carried you all the way up here, because you fell asleep on the floor in the garage!" Hanako and Yusei heard another voice in the room, so they both turned to the front door, seeing Crow and Jack standing there and looking inside.

"Yeah", Yusei nodded, "I must have fallen asleep afterwards..."

          "Go figure!" Crow laughed, "I sure didn't carry you all the way up here!"

"What time is it anyway?" Hanako suddenly spoke, getting an answer straight away from Jack.

          "Almost 10 o'clock!"

"What?!? Why didn't you wake me up?"

          "You needed some rest, Baby!" Jack said calmly.

"I know I've never said this before, but", Crow had to agree, "Jack's right!"

          "And what about breakfast?" Hanako insisted, but the guys were already prepared.

"Already done!" Crow smiled brightly, "You know, you really have to deal with the fact that we can live here without your constant help, mum!"

          "Very funny, Crow!" Hanako rolled her eyes, as she stood up on her feet and started leaving Yusei's room, while Crow followed her steps with his eyes and just when she left from their sight, Jack sighed, not knowing what to do.

"I think you hit her nerve!"

          "Yeah", Crow agreed, "Bulls eye for me!" He was looking at the stairs that were leading down into the kitchen, when suddenly Yusei took his attention, so both Jack and Crow moved their eyes to Yusei.

"Sorry, guys! Looks like I wasn't aware of how tired and exhausted I was last night".

          "Nah, it's OK", Crow waved, "You need some rest, too!" He winked at Yusei before going away, so Jack followed him, leaving Yusei alone in his room.
