Book 4. Choices through time and space.

Memory thief part 1.

A,N: Hello dear readers. Zexal is back! Or at least the 4th book is up and running now. Not sure how regularly I will update though since I wasn't supposed to post this before Martz. Or that was at least my plan. Sadly, couldn't wait so lucky you readers.

Just so I won't get in trouble with copyright issues, I do not own the original Yugioh Zexal story nor any characters besides my Oc Zaira and Haku. Grace is borrowed from another person named Jinx on Q. Everything else belongs to Kazuki Takahashi and the creators of the anime show and do not take profit. Only writing for the fun of it. With that out of the way, have fun reading.

Normal p.o.v.

"Yuma! Hey Yuma!" Kairi's voice ran through the whole place rather loudly in a very angry tone "You better come down pronto or I'll call Bronk to munch on all your food! Yuma! I know you can hear me! the whole town can hear me!".

Right now, Kairi and Tori was standing inside Yuma's room underneath the ladder to the attic, where Yuma usually slept in his hammock. However, since that day Astral had left him Yuma had not left his home at all. He barely left his room, but when he finally did it was only for a quick run to the bathroom. He barely ate anything which of course made his family and friends worry. That was one of the reasons Kairi was shouting an ear off underneath the stairs. To get him out of his depressive flunk, but no matter what she did, Yuma didn't move or say anything.

"I guess Yuma still won't leave his room?" Tori questioned worriedly as she looked up at the stairs to the attic.

"Yes I tried to get him down all day, but he is not reacting. Even food treats aren't working" Kairi said and sighed "Maybe I really should have picked Zaira when Grandma and I were discussing which of them we would cheer up. She would at least react". At that Tori chuckled a little.

"Not to mention bite of your head if you as much as touch her" she then replied and sighed deeply "That said, we really do miss her at school too. Were you able to find her?". At that Kairi shook her head.

"Not a clue and I am a news reporter" she responded "That little thief girl is hard to find when she does not want to be found. That said, Grandma did mention that the refrigerator had been raid, but I have no clue if it is Zaira or Yuma's doing".

"What about Shark? He must know where she is at" Tori then said.

"I tried, but he is spending so much time at the hospital now, watching his sister that even if Zaira is at his place, he has not seen her or been there for that matter" Kairi said and sighed "But at least my guts are telling me she is still in the city".

"Yeah I guess those two are still upset" Tori mused as she recalled the events with number 96 and how Astral had sacrificed himself at the end.

"Yeah let's give them some time" Kairi mused as well and scratched her hair in sheepishly matter "Everyone deals with a loss and depression in their own way.

Vector's p.o.v.

In the meantime. Somewhere else.

Inside red crystallized palace whose location was unknown and not in the use of the emperors of the barian world, was Vector and Don Thousand now entering this esteemed royal home. Vector was looking stunned around. He had never seen this place before and that said something since Vector had been around every inch of their home world in his pursuit of finding his lost little sister. This palace was even more glorious than the emperor's palace and that said a lot.
