Akiza sat on a plane staring out the window. She lightly tapped her fingers to the song she was listening to, and impatiently crossed and uncrossed her legs. She was so unbelievably nervous.

*Flashback*

"Akiza! I would like to speak with you." Mr. Oni called over the speaker of the hospital.

"That's you Akiza!" Lila, a friend and nurse of Akiza patted her on the back. "Good luck talking to the boss!"

"Haha thanks. I'll take what luck I can get…"

"Do you think it's about transferring?" Lila asked with a smile.

"I really don't know…I love this hospital a lot. I would hate to leave."

"We would miss you too Akiza. But please be open to change. I'm sure whatever it is, it's for the best," Lila smiled warmly. Akiza nodded and quickly shuffled down to Mr. Oni's office.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Mr. Oni's deep voice and glare made Akiza extremely nervous.

"N-no sir. I don't," Akiza bowed her head.

"Well, as you know, it has been 4 years since you graduated med school and started working for my hospital…" Mr. Oni stood with his back to Akiza, looking out the giant windows in his office. "I think it's time that we transfer you to a different hospital."

Akiza's eyes widened, but she remained silent.

"I am transferring you to the New Domino Hospital."

*Later that day*

"-ear curdling scream-" Akiza held the phone away from her ears and winced.

"Carly, calm down!"

"OMG I can't believe you're coming back to New Domino! EEEK! I can't wait to tell Mina and Yusei and-"

"Wait! Carly. I don't um…exactly want Yusei to know."

"What? Why! He'll be so excited!"

Akiza sighed," Yeah I know, but you know that I have always regretted not telling him I love him…I don't know what he'll think if he sees me again, what if he has a girlfriend-"

"He doesn't! Well, he did, but they broke up a while ago."

She frowned, "I still don't want him to know I'm coming." Akiza was running around, packing all her stuff in panic mode.

"Alright, alright. I won't tell him hehe. But I really am so excited! It will be like a giant reunion!"

"…Reunion?"

"Don't you know? Jack is flying in 2 days after you! Oh and crow and the twins. OMG it's like fate isn't it!"

Akiza sat down and covered her mouth. Everyone was coming back? She was going to see all her friends again.

"Akiza? Akiza are you there?"

"Y-yeah I'm here."

"Hehe don't worry Akiza. I won't tell anyone you're coming. But, we're having a big reunion party two weeks from today. You have to come!"

"I'll be there Carly haha. I'm just so nervous…"

"Don't worry Akiza! Yusei will be super excited to see you. And so will I!"

"Thanks. Oh and thanks again for volunteering to pick me up from the airport,"

"No problem gurl. Now I'll see you in a week!"

"Bye!"

*End of flashback*

Akiza fiddled her thumbs nervously and glanced out the window one more time. She still had the same feelings for Yusei she had 3 years ago. "The plane will be landing in 30 minutes,"

Akiza looked out the window once again, to see the beautiful New Domino city. She held back tears as she closed her eyes and felt the plane land.

"AKIZA!"

"Carly!"

Akiza dropped her bags and hugged her best friend.

"It's been too long!" Carly grabbed one of Akiza's bags and the two began chatting.

"Is this all your stuff?" Carly asked, "Man you travel light."

"Haha no! The rest of my stuff is being shipped to me tomorrow."

"Ahh okay. So are you sure you don't need a place to stay?" Carly asked.

"Yeah, I got a little apartment online."

"Cool! So are you planning on seeing Yusei," Carly shoved her bags in the back of her trunk.

"I-ive thought about it…" Akiza got in the car, "It's just, I kinda want to see how my duel runner is, considering I left it at his place-,"
"That's the biggest lie I've ever heard, you wanna go so you can see him!" Carly laughed along with Akiza.

"Fine, fine. Ill see him tomorrow haha. Thanks for the ride,"

"No problem! See you at the party!" They waved goodbye and Akiza moved into her new apartment. Carly had said that Yusei still lives in the same house. Weird, but then again, that is Yusei's style.

She began unpacking. Her apartment was small, but hey, less stuff to clean! Akiza unzipped one of her bags when a picture of her and Yusei fell out. He had his arm around her shoulder, and she was doing a peace sign. They both had the biggest, dorkiest smiles on their faces.

…I can't wait for tomorrow. She glanced at the clock, 5:30. Akiza quickly grabbed her coat and ran out the door.

She knew the way there, the directions never left her mind. For some reason she just had to see him. I can't stand being in this city and knowing he's here.

After about a 30 minute walk through New Domino , she stood in front of his house. The garage was open, and noises were coming out of it.

This is a badddd idea Akiza. What if he forgot about you! What if he doesn't care! OMG maybe he threw away your bike! Akiza shook her head, get a grip! You made it all the way here. Akiza slowly made her way to the garage.

She leaned around the corner to see Yusei working on a duel runner. He looked just as amazing as he did 4 years ago. Same hair, same marks. He was a bit bulkier though, and it seemed like he was taller than she last remembered. She didn't recognize the runner he was working on as his.

Akiza took a deep breath and tapped the side of the wall with her knuckle.

"Knock knock?"

Yusei looked up and his eyes widened in complete shock. He stood up and dropped his wrench, making a noise that cut through their silence.

"A-Akiza?" Yusei's voice came out softly. It was slightly deeper than what she remembered.

Akiza hugged herself insecurely, "S-s-sorry for dropping by so suddenly! I-I just thought I'd stop by and say h-"

Akiza was cut off by Yusei wrapping her in a giant bear hug. "Akiza! What are you doing here! What, I- I can't believe you're here!"

Akiza's eyes widened in shock, but she then wrapped her arms around Yusei.

"I got transferred to New Domino Hospital…"

Yusei pulled back from their hug, "No way! So that means-"

"I'm staying. Well, temporarily that is. I don't know if they will move me again or not."

"Oh this is so great. Did you know Jack, Crow, Luna, and Leo are all coming back too?"

"Yes, Carly informed me," Akiza chuckled. Yusei's smile suddenly dropped.

"Wait, you told Carly you were coming but not me?"

"W-well, I kinda just wanted to s-surprise you." Akiza turned a light pink. Nobody else would have been able to notice, but Yusei did.

They booth stood there awkwardly for a few seconds. "S-so, would you like to come in?" Yusei offered.

"U-um sure but it's getting dark…"

"Did you walk here?" Yusei held the door for Akiza.

"Yeah…" Akiza smiled sheepishly.

"Haha ill drive you home,"

"Really? You don't have to…"

"It would be my pleasure. Please, sit down."

Akiza looked around the room. It officially had furniture now, and it actually looked pretty good. The walls were dark red, with white couches. There was a fireplace and a beautiful dining room connected to the living room.

"W-wow. You have really spiced up the place," Akiza looked around at all the furnishings.

"Haha, yeah. I figured that I couldn't eat on cardboard boxes forever. So once I started making money I bought some stuff," Yusei started brewing tea in the kitchen.

"Speaking of that, how's being a scientist?" Akiza glanced at the mantle on the fireplace. There were pictures of all his friends, including one of her. She blushed and turned to sit down.

"It's okay. I'm glad to be following in my parent's footsteps. But, It gets pretty frustrating at times," Yusei set a cup of tea in front of Akiza.

She picked it up and took a sip. She then blushed; he remembered what type of tea I like?

"You liked that flavor right?" Yusei sat down in the chair across from her.

"Y-yeah, thanks. Anyways, you are a genius. I'm sure you figure out everything eventually." She smiled.

"Heh, I wouldn't say a genius…" Yusei rubbed the back of his neck.

Akiza smiled warmly at the same old Yusei.

She then blurted out, "Do you miss dueling?"

Yusei took a second to think the question over. "Well, it will always be a part of me, that's for sure. I like the adrenaline rush. I haven't had a duel in a long time though…"

"Well, don't worry. I'm sure Jack will challenge you to a duel as soon as he steps off his plane." They both laughed, and took a sip of tea.

"So, whose runner were you working on?"

"Oh that? It's for one of my associates at work. It broke down and he asked if I could fix it,"

"Ahh I see. Speaking of…do…do you still have my runner?" Akiza asked shyly. Yusei smiled, "Of course I do. It's in my garage. But I would like to check it before I give it to you. Make sure it runs good."

"Thank you Yusei. You are simply amazing." Akiza smiled. Yusei looked away, Argh her smile is so beautiful. "No problem."

After a short but seemingly long silence Akiza cleared her throat, "Well I guess I should get going."

"Yes of course, Ill drive you home,"

"T-thank you for the tea,"

"Thank you for stopping by," Yusei tossed her a helmet and she straddled the bike behind him. She wrapped her arms around him and they sped off. She closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. Smiling, she held on tighter. Yusei blushed slightly at sped up the bike faster.

Soon enough, they reached her apartment.

"Thanks for the ride Yusei."

"No problem. Come see me again sometime soon okay? When do you start working?"

"Um, next week I start."

"Well, tomorrow I have the day off…" Yusei took a deep breath and tried to calm down his heartbeat, "Would you like to go to lunch with me tomorrow?"

Akiza resisted the urge to scream. "O-of course Yusei,"

He smiled, "Great I'll see you tomorrow." He quickly kissed her on the cheek, and hopped back on his bike.

He waved goodbye and drove off.

Akiza stood there flabbergasted, with a hand to her cheek. She ran inside her apartment and locked the door. After a few seconds…" EEEEE EEEE EEEE EEE EEE EEEE EEEEE EEEEKK!" Akiza screamed like a 12 year old girl. She did a little happy dance around her living room and collapsed on the floor.

Ahh, a 24 year old woman getting excited over lunch and a small kiss. What a child I am… She stayed on the floor staring at the ceiling.

*With Yusei*

Oh my goodness oh my goodness what have I done. I can't believe I kissed her oh my gosh she probably hates me. What if she calls tomorrow and cancels agh! I'm an idiot. Yusei shook his head and continued driving.

She just looked so cute today…maybe it's because I hadn't seen her in 4 years. I still regret not telling her how I felt then. Maybe I will get my chance now that she's back. Ugh I'm such an idiot.

I gotta try being less of a dork tomorrow at lunch… Yusei chuckled and drove through the city, the wind whipping past him.
