"I don't know," Melhana said. She then saw that Yugi was staring at the floor. "Something wrong, Yugi?"

"Yugi, you might be the future king but it won't happen till the Queen has passed her crown to Ashleigh which could be from when she actually passes on till Kaimiri's Dad is really killed" Ruby said.
"Which reminds me. Why is our sweet, kind, powerful crybaby of a girl is really a princess? I mean, sure she's good with leading and stuff but why her?" Atem asked.
"That is what the Queen knows" Ruby replied, "She knew that her daugher will be reborn to a world with people who cares about her and will do anything to protect her till the truth has been revealed. And it happened. You're those people who would do anything to keep Ashleigh out of harm's way by risking your own lives, including you Yugi. You loved her that you were willing to put your life in danger to protect her, including death. That's why the Queen took notice and wants you to be the future king. You're the only one to keep Ashleigh safe from harm, suicide or not."

"I...didn't even know." Yugi said. "I guess that's how these things just play out sometimes." He shook his head. "When did the Queen predict this, anyway?"

"She doesn't predicts, she knows" Ruby said, "girl intuition. That's what it is."

"Just like Selena and her creepy ability to read minds," Yugi said.

"Girl intution?" Astral asked. "Is that how women can read minds so well?"

Ruby laughed.
"No. It's like a girl following her feelings or her gut" she replied, "no reading minds whatsoever."

"Though when it comes to Selena, I swear it's more than just her gut..." Yugi replied.

Three angel years past. Training went really well for Ashleigh till one day, she felt lightheaded and collapsed during advance spells. Luckly, Gabriel caught her and took her straight to hospital.

Morgan came straight to the hospital when she heard what had happend. "Is she all right?!" She asked.

Lanchia shook her head.
"She must have contracted something 3 years ago while she was trying to make the shard to go self destruct! And now it's spread through out her body" she said, "she's in surgery right now."

Morgan sunk into a chair. "Oh no...." She said, her hand coming to her mouth.

"I'm worried about her. If she die here, she will never return to the world of the living nor take her place as princess" Lanchia said, "no, everyone is worried. Ashleigh's our future hope!"

"More importantly, she's my baby girl." Morgan said. "I don't know what I'll do if she dies...."

"I know" Lanchia agreed, "but what did she think when she lost you?"

"She was devistated," Morgan replied. "And it was right before her wedding too, I wish I could've been there."

"I hope she survives" Lanchia said as Uriel approached the two.

"Same here," Morgan said, looking up. "Master Uriel!"

"Don't bow," Uriel said, holding up his hand. "I heard what happened."

"Has the doctor told you what's wrong with her?" Lanchia asked.

Uriel shook his head. "He isn't sure what it is yet. I came down here to attempt a diagnoses as well."

"This is really bad" Lanchia said, "We need her to be better asap!"

"I know," Uriel replied.

"So, what are we suppose to do?" Lanchia asked.

"We wait, for now." Uriel said, leaning against the wall. I hate not being able to do anything....

"We have to do something" Lanchia said. She was fond of the girl.

"I agree with Lanchia!" Morgan said. "Please, isn't there anything we can do?"

Melhana slammed her hand down on the table. "Damn!" She snarled.

"Is something the matter?" Astral asked, looking over from where he was floating, behind a sleeping Yuma.
