'It was only an expression you idiot!'
"Yeah. So you coming or what?" Ashleigh asked.

'I know that! And she's still your problem, not mine.' Yusei replied.

---

"I'm coming! Jack's already made it obvious he isn't coming." Crow replied, following Melhana and Ashleigh.

"I already told you; I'm exhausted from breaking Aki out of that crystal and earlier today." Jack replied, heading back to the parking area. Crow stuck his tongue out at Jack's retreating back.

Aka peered out of the stage from the wings. People began to fill up the seats.
"This is the second half of the concert. I knew we should've done it before the kidnapping" she whispered to herself.

I know Ashleigh is a pro about this....but I'm scared. If my Ashleigh was here, she'll know what to do Aka thought. Then a hand landed on the yami's shoulder.

"I know....but Ashleigh.....my Ashleigh isn't here. I don't think I can go through this without her" Aka replied, a tear slid down her cheek.

"You mean, you know what I mean by my Ashleigh?" Aka asked, dabbing her eyes carefully with a tissue, being careful not smudging the mascara and eyeliner.

As I thought, everyone who knows Ashleigh is casted with the enchantment. I MUST find a way to break it Aka thought as nodded and put lip gloss on her lips.

Then in a flash of light, Aka stood in the middle of the stage, eyeing Yusei and Dark Ashleigh who was watching in the corner.
"This is a bit dark for a Yami right?" Dark Ashleigh asked, "Right?" Yusei didn't responed.
"Yusei?" She had a look at him. His eyes lost their colour as it seems like he was controlled.

The whole room came into applause as the next song became to play: Black Diamond.

After Black Diamond (and Dark Ashleigh dragging Yusei out of there), Aka had a clothes change to one of her battle outfits, still keeping with the hairstyle. She was wearing a mini (but not too short) skirt with a boobtube top. instead of the shoe she usually wears, she wore high healed shoes and this time, was wearing a headset instead of a mic. Back up dancers was behind her. Instead of rehearsals, this number was a dance routine.

The whole room applauded from that preformance....and still caused a nosebleed from Edo.

The next song was Last Train- New Morning. And eveyone in the audience (except for Edo) sang along. Then the next song started to play.
Concert song, not powersong, Concert song, Not powersong she thought.
"Aka's doing really well" Yana whispered to her dad while the instrmental was going on....but unexpectly, the tune changed into a sweet melody.

Then something hit Yugi preventing him from following. A Dark Barrier was there to stop anyone from following the pair. Dark Ashleigh casted this (without the book) so nothing like that would happened. Then another tune came up, which shocked Kasanagi.

"Thank you and good night!" Aka yelled to the audience who was standing up, applauding. Then when she walked off, the announcer walked on (he was scolded off by Kaiba because of what happened last time) with some last minute announcements. Aka lunged into Kasanagi's arms, and cried.

"What's wrong?" Kasanagi asked, patting the woman's back. "Why're you crying?"

---

Yugi ran headlong into the barrier. "What on Earth...?" He asked, reaching out a hand to touch it. He cried out when it shocked him, though not before Yugi got an idea of what it was.

"A Dark Barrier...why would Ashleigh be using one of those, unles...." He thought aloud, then the thought struck him. "It's not Ashleigh. Not my Ashleigh at least." He raised his hand and placed it to the barrier again, this time ignoring the shock and chanted a spell. It was in ancient Egyptian, so anyone listening wouldn't have had any clue what he was saying. HIs aura briefly flared dark green, until a section in the barrier broke just large enough for Yugi to pass through. He did so, and followed Ashleigh as close as he dared without alerting any more attention. Though, my breaking the barrier is bound to have let her know someone's on her tail.

Dark Ashleigh automaticly decected it.
"Whoever is trying to follow me will fall into a deep slumber. Let his thoughts about who I really am be erased and pulled back into the enchantment" she chanted. It was a spell that Kaimiri let her use from the tome book.

---

"You won't understand Kasanagi, you won't unerstand" Aka replied sobbing.

"Try me." Kasanagi replied. "You'd be surprised what I'd believe."

---

As Yugi followed Ashleigh he began to feel drowzy. Gah...no, a sleeping spell. He thought. He got more and more tired as he followed the girl. Finally, he leaned up against a wall and slid down it. I've got...to let the others know...that something's up with Ashleigh. He thought, taking out his phone. He jotted down a text and sent it off to Jonouchi before sleep claimed him.

The text however, was successfully sent.

Then the phone vibrated and Dark Ashleigh took it out.
"Intercepting complete. This phone is really handy. Now, the receptant is getting the fake text intead" she said as she opened the message.

Something is wrong with Ashleigh. It's not my real wife. Please let everyone else know about this.

---

"The real Ashleigh is gone and is replaced by a decoy" Aka replied, "And I can't locate her aura anywhere."

"You're kidding?" Kasanagi asked, not fully believing what Aka had said but taking it with a grain of salt as well. "If that's the case, then we'd better let the others know."

---

Jonouchi's phone buzzed in his pocket. Wondering what it was, he took it out and read the message: Hey, just wanted to wish you good luck in our duel tomorrow. It read. It was from Yugi.

"Please don't! If they find out that I know, they're going to be mad" Aka pleased, they meaning Kaimiri, Dark Ashleigh and Yusei.

---

"That's weird. Something must've happened to dad to text that message. I wonder why?" Yana said.
