The setting peaceful, tranquil, and calm.
The sea air breathing down upon the blonde. Her lavender eyes were closed in thought.
She stood at the entrance to Daedalus Bridge. Her duel Runner sat alone a short distance away from her, waiting to take its next ride.
The blonde's eyes opened sharply and glared into the distance. Her sharp tone bit into the surrounding air as she spoke.
"I know your there."
The spikey raven haired man with red highlights like his father's came out of the shadows.
"I should have known you would have figured me out." He said softly in his gentle baritone.
He came to stand beside her at the edge of the bridge where a railing stopped people, children, from falling into the water below.
Resting his left hand near her right he asked "Why where you running away?"
The blonde sighed and looked away from him. "It's none of your business." She snapped and turned to walk to her Duel Runner.
He grabbed her elbow and forced her around to face him. "It is my business, when it pertains me." He told her matter of factly.
"This doesn't pertain you." She glared at him, face red, trying fruitlessly to get away from his tight hold on her.
His left hand, the one not holding her to him, reached into his trench coat and pulled our something.
Something that both scared her and pissed her off.
"Give me that!" she snapped reaching for the object he was now holding above his head. "How dare you go into my room without permission!" Her face now redder then her father's infamous dragon.
"I didn't." he deadpanned looking down at her. "Your father did. He stopped by and talked to my father about it until I got home. Then they ganged up on me. And your father gave me this, telling me you were running away, or at least planning to at any rate. And told me to find you." He explained.
Her face then became redder due to embarrassment. "My father shouldn't have gone into my room. He especially shouldn't have gone to your father; they shouldn't have ganged up on you. And you shouldn't have followed me!"
She then placed both her hands on his chest and pushed him with all her might.
He stumbled away from her dropping the object, and letting her go.
She snatched the object, stuffed it into her jeans. Then started stomping towards her Duel Runner.
"Oh no you don't Jacklynn!" he said jumping up after her and grabbing her shoulder.
She attempted to shove him off, but he held fast.
"Let me go Yuki!" Jacklynn told him with a glare. Eyes alight in a flurry of emotions. Fury, shock, and sacredness showing deep in the windows of her soul.
"Why are you running away from me?" He asked. "Do you really hate me that much?"
Jacklynn shut her eyes, and tried to calm down. Thinking of that night she opened herself completely to him. And how the next day he had flirted with one of her workers. How betrayed she had felt, and how she resolved to never open her heart again.
For it always got her hurt.
She opened her mouth, and glared at him. Her eyes softening after seeing his pained expression.
"I don't hate you." She said honestly. 'I hate your lies.' She thought painfully.
"Then why have you ignored me?" He asked. "Every time I call you, on the phone or otherwise, you ignore me. When I follow you, you purposely lose me. You sit as far away from me as you physically can.
"And no one knows what's going on! Not even your aunt.
"We're all worried about you Jackie." He said losing his hold on her.
"And none of this can be good for the–"
"Shut up!" she screamed clamping her hands over her head. "Just shut up Fudo! I don't want to hear it!"
Yuki reached up and grabbed her hands pulling them down between the two of them, face reddening with anger.
"Why not, because it will make it real for you?" he asked "Well I'm sorry but your pregnant!"
Jacklynn struggled to get out of his reach, to get anywhere but there.
"Pregnant with our child Jacklynn. You can't run away just because you're scared!"
Yuki then placed his hands on her shoulders, leaning his face to hers, giving her a short shake. "Have you even thought of what I felt about all this?"
Jacklynn shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yuki, who gave a short laugh.
"Of course you haven't. You really are the Ice Queen aren't you?
"You don't give a damn about my feelings do you?" he asked giving her another shake.
"Do you?" he repeated.
She then shocked the both of them by replying "Of course I do." Softly.
Jacklynn looked up at him harshly. "You really know so little about me do you?
"You know about John, but that's about it, other than the fact he nearly killed me!
"Well you want to know what else? He was my first!"
Seeing that Yuki opened his mouth to speak she cut him off. "Yes there was someone before you! He then got me pregnant! Much in the same way you did!
"Our big duel, that one duel which nearly cost me my life! Cost me my child's!
"So excuse me if I want to keep this one, for running away from you, after you flirted with that hussy at my own bakery!" she screamed at him breathing heavily.
Yuki stared at her in shock. "I never flirted with anybody."
Jacklynn gave a short cruel laugh. "Please Sakura's Bakery? You flirted with my cashier Akimoto Kimiyo!"
Yuki's eyebrows furrowed in thought. Then his eyes widened as he came to a conclusion. "Oh her! She was flirting with me?"
Jacklynn narrowed her eyes at his stupidity.
Yuki seeing this moved to placate her temper. "I swear Jackie I didn't know. If I had, I would have told her I was yours. All yours." He told her, then grabbed her and pulled her to his chest.
"Please don't run anymore Jackie. You don't have to be alone anymore okay?" He pleaded with her, placing his cheek to the crown of her head.
"You flirt with anyone again, intentionally or not. And I'll kill you both." She muttered after a few moments of silence.
Yuki laughed. "Deal."
Fudo Residence
Two men in their mid-forties sat at the kitchen table. One by the name of Jack Atlas, the other Yusei Fudo.
"I might have to kill your son." Jack told his longtime friend-like-brother, as Yusei stood up and moved to the coffee machine.
"If Aki doesn't first." Yusei replied back moving towards the table and handing Jack a cup of the coffee he just poured.
Jack just sighed accepting the offered cup. "So." He said thoughtfully taking a sip, and hiding a grimace at the flavor.
"Yes?" Yusei asked sitting back down and placing his cup in front of him, preparing for a full on assault on why Jack hates his son.
Jack looked up at Yusei with a smirk.
"Do you want to tell Kathy she was right? Or should I?"
Yusei just hit his head on the table, while Jack laughed.
Kazami residence
Kathlynn looked up from chopping the iceberg lettuce. "Leo-koi?" She called to the living room where her husband laid on the couch with their one year old who was napping peacefully on his chest.
"Yes koi?" he answered back softly, not wanting to wake the baby up.
"Call my Ani-chama and ask him why he's thinking about me please." She told him.
"Okay!" Leo answered back.
Kathlynn returned to her chopping with a smile on her face.
At last the world was at peace.
A/N: Not as much Jack and Yusei as I would have liked... And a little to much Kathlynn and Leo... But yeah, anyway, I dont own 5D's if my non-existant paycheck is anything to look at... But yeah, next chapter is going to have a bit more of the signers... hopefully... And the bakery shows up!
