Based on the viscous decretion disk model for Be Stars, we study the effect of the torque from the star on the Be star disk, using a 3-D smoothed particle hydrodynamics code and turning on and off the mass ejection from the star. We find that, after the mass ejection is shut off, the innermost part of the disk begins to accrete and the accreting part gradually propagates outward. We also find that the Be disk in misaligned binaries precesses in a retrograde sense when no mass is supplied from the star. If the mass supply is resumed for such a disk, an inner disk is formed with its rotation axis misaligned with that of the outer disk. By the interaction between the inner and outer disks, the outer disk rapidly changes its direction to that of the inner disk.
