- Bad at love Halsey

PS:There's some raunchiness in this, but I don't feel like it is enough to rate as an M story

Yusei sighed as he sat through another disastrous date. He was half listening to another girl and how her lifestyle was so difficult compared to another's.

He would rather put up with Jack and Crow arguing than go on another date set up by his mom. Yusei was the only son and heir to the Fudo family. The Fudos were the reason for alternative energy and quickly became a promienent family.

Yusei sat through the remainder of his date in silence and the girl took absolutely no notice. He escorted the girl to her car and noticed a familar runner at the end of the lot. He saw the blonde rider smirking from afar and shook his head in disbelief.

"I had so much fun we should do this again!"

Yusei looked back at the girl as she leaned in to plant a kiss on his cheek. Yusei rubbed his neck as the girl climbed into her car and drive off. Yusei turned his attention back to the runner, but it was gone.

"So it was that bad huh?"

Yusei jumped not expecting someone to be so close. The tall blonde woman stood beside him laughing at his expense.

"Sherry Leblanc I thought I saw you stalking me. What checking out the competition?"

"Mhmm something like that mon ami pointless though, they got nothing on me." She winked.

"What are you up to Sherry?" Yusei asked suspicious.

"What can't I visit an old friend?"

"I highly doubt this is a social call."

"Mhmm you caught me." Sherry shrugged.

"What is it?"

"Yusei aren't you tired of going through this circus show? "

"What are you talking about?"

"Dating loser girls."

"They aren't losers, but yeah."

"Well I have a proposition for you."

Yusei zoned out as his mother paced back and forth in silence studying the odd couple. She suddenly stopped getting an idea and addressed the both of them.

"So Sherry and Yusei, Yusei and Sherry, you two have always gotten into trouble together since you met. Yusei believe it or not I want the best for you, but I also don'y want you to end up in a loveless marriage. I won't pressure you into dating anymore, but if this is what you really want then I won't get in the way."

"It is mother." Yusei nodded as he took Sherry's hand in his.

"You miss Leblanc really want this? I could talk to your parents to stop pressuring you I'm sure they would understand."

"It is." Sherry nodded determined.

" I just don't want you kids to make a mistake... I will approve only on two conditions."

Yusei and Sherry looked at each other before nodding.

"First hold off on telling anyone else until you've fufilled condition 2. That being said, my final condition is that you two go visit a wedding planner of my choosing and if she were to refuse you then I will warrant my approval."

"But mom I-"

"No Yusei you are my only son and this wedding planner is the best there is some say she's some kind of witch. She specializes on making miracle weddings, but only works with couples she believes are reallg in love and meant to be together. If she approves, she can make your wedding happen within days maybe even hours depends. That is what you wish no, to be married as soon as possible?"

Yusei grimaced knowing full well this plan was already beginning to fire back at them. He nodded slowly. Sherry looked like she was a baby deer stuck in front of a moving vehicle unable to move.

"Very well then I will give her a call to let her know you are on your way."

"Right now?"

"Yes now. Here is the address."

Yusei grabbed the small piece of paper with his mother's writing before heading out with Sherry.

And that's all Yusei remembered happening that caused him to end up in an office filled with beads, white glittery things, and roses with Sherry right beside him.

A brunette woman he recognized as Jack's secret girlfriend, led them into said office.

"Carly I didn't know you worked here."

"Only part time being a journalist doesn't always cover the necessities, but Aki is super understanding. She's is so nice and has a heart of gold, don't let her attitude mislead you. Oh and don't tell her I said that either. She'll be in soon, so just take a seat. Can I get you anything while you wait?"

"No thanks."

Carly bowed before leaving. As soon as the door closed behind her it opened to reveal a woman dressed in a red bodiced cami and shorts that reached midthigh with white sneakers covered in glitter. Her burgundy hair in a tight ponytail with only her bangs framing her face. She had random streaks of paint up and down her body.

She was speaking through a black microphone ear piece while she shuffled through the room. She grabbed a small ladder and place it near a book case. She climbed to reach for two white boards. Yusei got up to offer to help her. When she realized there were people in her office, startled she lost her balance. Yusei managed to catch her small frame in his arms.

"Thanks. No not you! Look I'll have to call you back. We still have a conversation pending." She spoke into her microphone before she quickly climbed off Yusei.

"I um-" Yusei began.

"I know who you are Yusei Fudo and Sherry Leblanc right? Your mother called."

"Yeah that's us."

"Right, so I'm Aki Izayoi wedding planner at your service...well unless I deem you unworthy."

Aki gave him and Sherry each one of the boards she was holding. She grabbed some markers off her desk and handed them each one. She moved the seats so that were facing away from each other.

"Ok Miss Leblanc and Mr. Fudo take a seat facing away from each other. I would like to do an activity before anything else. "

Sherry and Yusei did as they were told. Akiza watched them closely and silently before speaking up. Yusei was half listening to Akiza as he kept stealing glances at her. He never really felt a need to look at girls before even as a teenager, but he couldn't tear his eyes off her delicate frame and her long legs.

"Understood?"

"Simple enough." Sherry nodded.

Yusei simply nodded having no idea what it was he supposedly understood.

"Alright let's start. When is Miss Leblanc's birthday?"

Yusei easily figured out the game and wrote on the board.

"Alright let's see the answer."

Aki grabbed a notepad and she sat on her desk. Yusei followed her movements from the corner of his eye watching as she crossed her legs. She scribbled on her notepad before nodding.

"Ok without looking at each other, write on your boards, what the other is wearing."

They spent 10 minutes playing her game before she sighed and hopped off her desk. Yusei and Sherry gave back the boards and sat in front of her. She read through her notes and closed her eyes briefly.

"Before I make a decision tell me, why do you love Miss Leblanc?"

Aki looked at Yusei studying his face. Yusei cleared his throat unsure how to answer. He looked at Sherry.

"I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours." Yusei said looking deep into Sherry's eyes.

The room was silent for a few seconds before Aki sighed, and then clapped chuckling. She got up and opened her office door.

"Get the hell out."

"Excuse me what?" Sherry asked genuinely asked.

"No, Sherry she's right lets go." Yusei sighed.

"No, I'm not leaving. Yusei you just poured your heart out to me and-"

Aki laughed silencing Sherry.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh god she doesn't know..." Aki stopped laughing her eyes widening.

"Know what?" Sherry demanded as she started to slowly lose her patience.

"I got it from a movie." Yusei mumbled.

"Got what, from a movie?"

"He qouted the notebook and let me condemn you on your delievery it was almost believable. Do you know how many people come in here and do the same exact show? Like I haven't watched or read anything romantic in my life." Akiza was angry.

"Besides all that. He spent every second he could watching me like some perv. And i could totally tell you're in love with someone else. " Aki gave Sherry a pointed look.

"Now wait a minute what about the results of your stupid game?" Sherry demanded.

Akiza crossed her arms in front of her angry. She took a deep breath before going back to her desk and grabbing her notepad. She tore out a page and went over to the door opening it once again.

"I'll give it to you as soon as you leave and stay the hell away from me. You've wasted enough of my time."

Sherry went through the door first and as Yusei was walking out the door he brushed against Aki feeling her softness near him. Until she slammed the paper into his chest for him to grab. He placed his gloved hand over her small elegant one.

"Don't come back." Aki warned before snatching her hand away.

"Miss Leblanc may I suggest you grow a pair and fight for your true love. Good day."

Aki slammed her office door closed and Yusei winced. He saw Carly cowering behind her computer.

"Yeah your boss is super nice and understanding." Sherry said to her sarcasticly.

"I forgot to mention, she hates liars. I didn't think you were lying." She shrugged her shoulders.

Sherry and Yusei walked out of the cute house building. Yusei read through the notepad paper. To Yusei even her handwriting was feminine and delicate.

"Now what are we going to do? Queen bitchy must already be on the phone with your mother. she'll never allow us to get married now." Sherry said.

Yusei chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"This." Yusei handed over the piece of paper for Sherry to read.

Sherry read it over and sighed.

"She played us."

"No, she caught us Sherry that's the difference."

"I'm not the one busy staring at her boobs. According to this paper we're the perfect match, but I guess that's why it wouldn't work." Sherry sighed.

"So what are you going to do Sherry?"

"Me? You mean we, what are we going to do?"

"Nope Sherry. She's right we are too alike. Pfft." Yusei started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Sherry raised an eyebrow.

"She told you to grow a pair...and for you to fight for your true love...Sherry is she right?"

Sherry looked away as she walked towards her runner.

"Your mother was right mon ami thay woman might as well be psychic."

Sherry put her helmet on before driving off.

Yusei made his way towards his own runner when he heard an engine stalling and a familar feminine voice cursing. He walked over to the other side of the building and noticed Aki struggling to get her car to turn on. He watched as she opened the hood of her car and got on her tip toes. He wanted to go over to help, but her temper kept him back. He stared at her creamy long legs as she stretched to reach.

After a few minutes of Yusei checking her out and Aki hitting stuff, she closed the hood and went back into her car. She turned the key and it sputtered before turning on. He watched as her face relaxed and she pulled out of her parking spot. He stood in place getting an idea of how he could woe her.

Aki slammed the door to her car annoyed as she talked on her phone. Her usual mechanic had finally retired and the new guy she had seen was no help. She loved her car it had been the first real thing she had paid for herself and it reminded her of how hard she worked to get out of her father's shadow and make a name for herself. She was career driven and a hardass, but she was good at her job. Her work took up all her time, so her own love life was nonexistent.

Aki wasn't always all work and no play, but ever since she found out what people really thought of her even her parents... she sought out to prove them wrong. Starting with an impossible bride.

"Look hon all you have to worry about is walking down that aisle and saying I do, okay? I know the original venue has been seized by the bank since the owner skipped town, but I already have another venue and it's a lot more exclusive."

Aki was stressed out, but she couldn't waiver from her confidence. If she did the bride would freak. Aki went into her office and ignored Carly as she kept talking and writing at the same time.

"Since the inconvience is out of our hands I will be upgrading to the Rose garden package for no charge. Is that ok? The reception will be at the same place you chose. I already contacted all the RSVPs and the ordained minister and the legalities have been-"

Aki stopped as she noticed she wasn't alone in her office.

"I promise everything will work out. Call me if you need anything else. Mhmm ok bye."

Aki clicked off her ear piece and slammed her papers down on her desk.

"I told you and your little friend to never show your faces here again. Let me guess, get the hell out, wasn't clear enough for you."

Aki crossed her arms in front of her chest as she stared down the tall, blonde french woman. Aki noticed a blue haired man cowering behind her menacing glare.

"Who is this? Someone else you've bribed to play your loving fiancee?"

"Non cher, not this time. This is Bruno. Bruno works for my father and he would never approve, but for reasons I cannot fathom, I love him."

Sherry intertwined her fingers with his as she looked at her expectantly.

"Excuse me for having a hard time believing a single word coming out of your mouth. " Aki responded.

"Look Cher, your reputation proceeds you. You're the only capable planner that can throw a respectable wedding from one day to the next-"

"Then you must also know, I'm very picky about who I help and that I absolutely despise liars, so no I won't do it. I do condemn you for your courage to come back and face me, but you have to set things straight at home first. I won't have my reputation tarnished for a liar."

Aki interrupted.

Sherry let Bruno's hand go and she balled her fists to her side.

"Have you've ever been in love Cher? You wear a wedding band on your finger, so you must understand what it is like to find the man of your dreams. You can't tell me it was all rainbows and sunshine to get to where you are. Didn't you have to fight for what you wanted?"

Aki took a step back as Bruno held Sherry back.

"I think we'll be going now. Thank you for your time." Bruno finally spoke as he gently guided Sherry out her door.

Aki was silent as she stared at the wedding band she wore.

"I say I hate liars, I'm such a hypocrite. " Aki took off her ring and threw across the room.

Sherry was livid as Bruno dragged her out of the building.

"That cold hearted bitch. You should've let me at her! Someone's got to knock her down a notch."

"Don't be reckless Sherry, we still need her to help us. We have a week before your parents arrive to take you back and I can't lose you."

"How do we get her to help us?"

"Well who is the most convincing and stubborn person we know?"

"Yusei."

Yusei was working on his runner when Sherry called him. She was angry. She practically demanded that he go and kidnap Aki until she agrees to help them get married. He was already on thin ice with his mother after Aki called her and told her all about her meeting with them. He felt like kidnapping her would only make it so much worse, but Sherry wasn't taking no for an answer.

Yusei finally gave in, all he could hope for, was that he wouldn't have to ruin his shot with her. He gathered his toolbox and took off in his runner. A plan already forming in his head.

Aki was busy in her office when she heard her door open. Without looking up she spoke up.

"Hey Carly, I'm swamped do you mind getting me some tea?" Aki didn't wait for an answer as she answered her ringing phone.

"Miss Izayoi I have some bad news..."

Aki paled as she took the phone call. At the end of the conversation, Aki sighed in frustration. She gasped as she realized she wasn't alone.

"Your tea?" Yusei stood before her with a mug of steaming tea.

"Oh um thank you." Aki took the cup, her fingers grazing his gloved hand.

"Carly kind of left since it's already late. Anyways, do you have a moment?"

"Mr. Fudo, I'm sorry, but my decision is final."

"I'm not here for that. You made a good call. Sherry actually asked me to come convince you to plan her wedding with someone else."

Akiza scoffed ash she took a sip of her tea.

"I only said no to the two of you 2 days ago and she already found another candidate? D you take me for a fool? I don't think so, I don't have a clue at what you and your friends are playing at, but leave me out of it."

"N-no look you were right when you said that Sherry and i were getting married out of convenience, but Sherry needed that push so she could face her family and marry the man she truly loves."

"And what do you get out of this?" Aki asked incredulously.

"Just helping a friend out." Yusei shrugged. Aki rolled her eyes.

"You're some friend."

"I could be yours."

Aki gathered some boxes and began to walk out of her office.

"Mr. Fudo stop wasting your time and breath on a mute point." Aki turned towards him only for a box to slide right off. Yusei caught it before it hit the ground.

"Hey let me help you." Yusei offered.

"No." Aki stopped to face him.

"No?"

"You can't help everyone all the time, besides I don't even know you."

"That's what I'm trying to make you see that we can get to know each other..."

"Oh lord are you really hitting on me right now?"

"What? No!" Yusei coughed turning away from her to hide his reddened face.

"Whatever, just get out...I need to lock up." Aki managed to turn off the lights, but she struggled to get her keys out of her pocket.

"Here let me help." Yusei reached out towards her.

"No I got it...I just need to-" Another box threatened to slide off, but Aki was able to straighten up before it fell off.

"How about now?" Yusei asked.

Aki sighed.

"Fine I already wasted enough time. My keys are in my right front pocket in my shorts just be quick about it."

Suddenly, Yusei's attention was drawn to what Aki was currently wearing. He blushed as he paid attention to the short shorts she wore that hugged her curves tightly and the burgundy crop top that currently showed off the creamy white skin of her lower back and abdomen. If Yusei really tried he could make out the lacy black panties the peeked out from her shorts.

"Wouldn't it be easier for me to just hold the boxes?" Yusei asked flustered.

Aki glared at him.

"Okay umm excuse me then."

Yusei held the small box in one hand before standing behind her and wrapping his free arm around her waist. Instinctively, Aki stepped back surprised at how close he was, causing her to bump into Yusei's chest. She could feel the leather of his gloves playing with the waistband of her shorts trying to find her pocket. Aki now realized why Yusei had been so hesitant and wished she had listened to his suggestion. Aki suddenly threw her head back shocked as she felt Yusei dip his gloved covered fingers into her pocket, which wasn't the pocket she was referring to.

"..so rough..." Aki moaned.

Yusei quickly realized he made a mistake and snatched his hand back embarrassed.

"Why'd you stop? Don't you want me? You practically have me at your mercy." Aki sighed.

"Not like this...not yet." Yusei groaned before taking his glove off and successfully retrieving her keys .

"Why? You want me I can feel it...ever since you laid eyes on me I could tell." Aki stepped into him feeling him hard against her.

"I'm in this for the long run sweetheart, if I given into you now then you'll get the wrong idea."

With that said, Yusei locked her office door and pocketed the keys.

"Now where to?"

Stunned at Yusei's confession she simply shook her head and without answering headed towards her car. Aki and Yusei walked in silence until the arrived at her car. She turned towards him expectantly.

"Yes?"

"Keys, you have them I need them."

"Right." Yusei pulled out the pair of keys and used the car remote to open the car. He opened the trunk for her to put her boxes in. He couldn't help but stare as she bent over to shuffle some boxes around. Her shorts rode up showing off even more creamy, flawless skin.

"Stop staring and do something about it." Aki turned her body around to face him taunting him.

Yusei stood still a cool facade in place.

"I meant what I said earlier." Yusei stepped up to her and placed his warm hand on her cool cheek. He bent down pressing his lips on her forehead before stepping away from her.

"Goodnight Miss Izayoi." Yusei walked away leaving her alone.

"Night...Yusei." Aki touched her forehead before turning around and slamming her trunk shut.

She climbed into her car that sputtered to life before heading out.

The next morning...

Aki was busy in her office coordinating everything and everyone to a new venue when she looked out her window. She noticed someone under her car. She ran out grabbing her bag and heading out angry and annoyed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Aki yelled at her car, more specifically, the man under her car.

Aki wasn't surprised to see Yusei roll out from under her car. Yusei got up wiping his hands in his rag. His sleeveless undershirt showcasing his tanned muscular arms beaded with sweat.

"Seriously? What part of, I never want to see you or your associates ever again, don't you understand?"

"Look I apologized, besides I saw you struggling before, so I thought I could take a look. I'm going to need some time, but I can fix it no charge, just take it as a peace offering from a friend." Yusei shrugged.

"We aren't friends Mr. Fudo."

"Really?" Yusei stepped in closing the distance between them.

"...What are you doing?"

"You weren't complaining last night." Yusei grabbed her hips pulling her closer to him.

Aki put her hands on his chest pushing off him.

"You don't understand that won't do, I have to go right now. I have a wedding in a couple of hours at most and I''m on my way to decorate the new venue, because my decorator fell through yesterday. The worst of it is that my venue was seized this morning by the government and now I have to go change my location ugh. How am I supposed to get to the wedding afterwards? Oh god I have to go reassure the bride and make sure she doesn't get cold feet and then get to the new venue before the guests arrive. I had my schedule planned out perfectly, I've never failed before!"

"Hey breathe." Yusei grabbed her face in his hands in attempt to sooth her.

Aki froze, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment.

"You know what I'll just walk."

Aki groaned in frustration before turning on her heel and walking off.

"Hey wait up I'll take you!" Yusei offered as he ran to catch up to her.

Akiza sighed.

"Do you know what would really help? If you could somehow go set up the venue where the ceremony will be held and be there to greet the guests while I go convince a very scared and high maintenance bride." Aki grumbled sarcastically.

"Yeah I can do that. I'll just drop you off first." Yusei nodded.

"Seriously? I was kidding." Aki's eyes gleamed.

"Well I wasn't."

Aki bit her lower lip thinking it over.

"Ok I don't have much of a sure are trying hard to get me to change my mind on Sherry's situation."

Aki dug through her bag and pulled out a notepad and pen. She scribbled furiously and then took off a very thin chain from around her neck.

"Here, the address and the key to a garden and shed. There are chairs in the shed along with garden tools if you need them. Just in case you need to tidy up I haven't exactly been free lately. The garden belongs to me, but no one I repeat no one knows and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm going to trust you on this."

She handed the necklace over without bothering to explain the wedding band hanging alongside the key. Yusei narrowed his eyes noticing for the first time the band around her own ring finger. Instead of questioning her he decided to let it go for the time being.

"Don't lose it."

"I won't let you down." Yusei took the chain from her reluctant hold.

"Okay now let's go. The bride lives in the Tops a few minutes away from the garden."

"I know the way, come on." Aki followed Yusei closely.

Aki stilled as she stared at the shiny red runner Yusei had led her to. Yusei climbed up in one fluid movement and held out his hand for her to take.

"No, no, no way nope." She turned and began to walk away from him and his runner.

Yusei sighed, got off his runner, and caught up with Aki before picking her small frame up.

"Hey! Let me down!"

He ignored her as he carried her and promptly seated her in front of him. He gave her a helmet and took off.

"Don't squirm too much and keep your eyes open maybe you'll like the view."

Aki nodded as she tried not to think about his body pressed against her back. He was uncomfortably close and Aki's heart was racing. They reached the Tops in record time, but Aki felt she was stuck in time on that runner.

"See not too bad." Yusei whispered in her ear.

Aki squirmed out from under him and got off. She threw the helmet at him without saying anything. Yusei caught it easily and watched as the red head. walked away. He took off only when he saw her walk through the gate and out of his sights. He had some friends to call.

Aki knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before the maid of honor opened the door. Relief washed over her features as she recognized her.

"Thank goodness your here! She's barricaded herself in her room." The maid of honor moved away letting her through.

Aki found the room and lightly knocked on the door.

"Who is it? You know never mind I don't care just go away."

Aki had picked up a few tricks in her adolescence, so using a small hairpin she managed to unlock the door to her room. Aki found the bride in sweats, a t-shirt, and elbow deep in a tub of ice cream. Aki sighed took the ice cream away and cleaned her up ignoring her protests.

"How did you manage to get in?"

"Magic... Jess look at me ok? Do you want to get married or not?" Aki asked her looking deep into her eyes.

"I dunno..." She looked away.

"Look when I spoke to you both. There were stars in your eyes and I could clearly see how much he loves you and how much you love him." Aki sighed.

"Really?" Jess looked up encouraged.

"Of course, you know I would never have agreed to b your planner if I didn't believe that." Aki reassured her.

The bride sniffled and smiled.

"You're right, but the venue-"

"It's all been taken care of all you have to worry about is getting you into your dress and fixing your face a little."

"B-but the makeup lady left already."

"It's okay I've been in this business long enough to know how to do simple yet elegant hairstyles and makeup looks."

"You're husband is so lucky."

For a split second Aki paused before continuing with getting Jess ready.

"I wish you would have invited him. I would love to meet him."

"I'm sorry Jess, but I try not to mix my professional life with my personal, you should know that."

"I know, but still I wouldn't have minded."

Aki stayed silent as she managed to get her dress on and corset tied up. Jess stared at herself in the mirror across from her.

"You're intimidating you know that?"

Aki met Jess's eyes through the mirror.

"What?"

"You're beautiful and successful with I'm assuming a blissful marriage. On top of all that, you did it all on your own without using your father's connections or money. I was nervous to meet you, because your reputation proceeds you."

"I'm not perfect." Aki resumed her work on her dress satisfied only when she was perfect. Aki continued to retouch the bride's makeup. She moved away satisfied letting the bride look at her reflection.

"You say you aren't perfect, but this-" Jess pointed at her reflection."This is perfection. Thank you." Jess hugged Aki tightly. Aki stiffened before returning the hug.

"Wait a second..." Jess stepped away from her, a frown forming on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"You aren't going dressed like that, are you?"

Aki looked at herself and realized she wasn't dressed very professional.

"I-I've been busy I know it's no excuse-"

"Hey it's okay! Everything you've done for me...Hold on."

Jess left only to come back with a red sleeveless floor-length dress with slits on both sides of said gown.

"I've been meaning to donate this dress, but I think this dress would be perfect for you."

"Oh I can't-"

"Aki I'm not taking no as an answer. Come on put it on already."

"Fine." Aki took the dress and quickly changed into it.

"Woah you really are a menace." Jess gasped.

"Stop already let's get you to your wedding."

Yusei had called upon his good friends and after all of them saying no thanks. He called again blackmailing each one of them into helping him. Not proud of it, but soon enough they were all there and between them all they managed to set the place up. Soon enough they were done and Yusei locked the shed and placed the chain around his neck as not to lose it. On Aki, the necklace was long enough to hide under her top, but on Yusei the chain was shorter and visible.

"How is this going to help us get married?" Sherry came up to him asking.

"Really Sherry? Aki owes us a favor now."

"You should've started with that."

"You guys should get going now."

"Hmm typical you get to have all the fun cher."

Sherry gathered the rest of the guys and headed out while Yusei stayed to greet the minister and the guests that were slowly arriving. Soon enough the place was filled and the groom arrived. Yusei greeted each guest kindly and noticed that many of the guests gave him linger looks. Yusei brushed it off to looking messy and sweaty. He noticed the women giving him the usual looks, but quickly averting their gazes to whisper to each other. A few minutes later and in comes Aki dressed in a long red dress that only accents her perfect, curvy body.

Aki gives the pianist a signal and he starts playing the bridal march. Everyone stands as Aki rushes back to coordinate the bride's entrance with her father. Yusei stands aside watching from afar as the ceremony proceeds. Aki stands out of sight, but rarely stops as she walks back and forth making sure everything runs smoothly even as the ceremony ends and the newlyweds depart to another venue for the reception.,

Aki stayed back unable to leave, Yusei being her ride. Aki quickly found Yusei and as she headed towards him a group of socialites intercepted him. Aki quickly made her way towards them, but by the time she arrived she heard the words she most dreaded.

"So you must be the famous and elusive husband."

Yusei's cobalt blues met with her almond brown before he smiled.

"Husband?"

"You are Aki Izayoi's husband, aren't you? No one's actually ever seen you before, but I do believe that's a wedding band around your neck and it looks like the matching one that Aki wears." A blonde woman giggled pointing out the chain around his neck.

"Yeah rumors were that you were just an intricate lie made up by Miss Izayoi. Since no one has ever actually seen her husband." Another blonde agreed.

Aki panicked as she watched Yusei's smile widen. The next thing she knew she was beside him pulling on his arm gently without raising suspicion.

"Oh Yusei here you are I-"

Next thing Aki knew, his arm was wrapped around her waist while the other held her chin tightly kissing her. There was an audible and collective gasp from the socialite women. The kiss was fierce and short lived as Yusei smiled at her.

"Yeah I usually leave this to her since I'm not one to dress up all fancy very often." He mentioned looking at his messy self.

The women giggled.

"If I had a husband as handsome as you I would parade you around."

"No Aki it's a good thing you hide him I would too." Another girl giggled.

Aki forced a smile before facing them.

"Ladies if you don't mind I need to speak to my husband privately and get him out of these messy clothes."

The women giggled as they excused themselves clearly getting the wrong idea. Aki pulled Yusei aside to a secluded part of the garden only she knew about. Once she was sure they were alone she turned to face him anger clearly written all over her face.

"What the hell Yusei?"

"Is it true?" Yusei ignored her outburst.

"Is what true?"

"Are you married?"

"Of course not, but it's a long and complicated story. Dammit I should have taken that off." Aki motioned to the band hanging on the chain around his neck.

"Gimme it back." Aki held out her open palm.

"No."

"Pardon?"

"I said no."

"Fine, I'll marry your friends, just give it back and leave me alone. God I was fine before you showed up into my life."

"Hmm that helps me, but what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Those lovely ladies are social ladies and are expecting to see me by your side tonight. Let's not forget the rumors that have already spread."

"I could care less about rumors."

"Yeah, but when they realize they've spoken to Yusei Fudo, who neither admitted or denied the allegation to being your husband. They all assume I'm your secret husband, so why not keep up the charade?"

"Damn you and your family name. Fine I accept, but only for a little while. We can figure out the rest when the time comes." Aki relented.

"Don't worry I'll return this once our deal has come to an end." Yusei said motioning to the chain.

"I'm going to regret this." Aki mumbled.

So this story will be a short one maybe about 5 chapters or less... I hope you guys like it. I know it won't replace Angel Eyes, but I hope it's just as good let me know what ya'll think!
