Ok so I'm here with my first one shot, and today I would like to introduce my co-host… Aki Izayoi!
Aki: Why me?
Because… Now do the disclaimer
Aki: No!
Don't make me get Yusei in here
Aki: *rolls eyes*Fine… AkixYusei doesn't own Yugioh 5ds or My Immortal by Evanescence or Stand by You by Carrie Underwood.
Good, now on with the story!!
(P.S. If there are any errors, besides the character being ooc, tell me in a PM and I will fix it)
Aki's POV
"Yusei-kun seems really depressed," Ruka pointed out, noting that my husband was still locked up in our room since the twins and Jack came to visit. He's been like that since he found out about my miscarriage.
Yusei and I have been married for a couple years now. It was a beautiful wedding, full of roses, and stuff like that. Martha mentioned to me how badly he had wanted a child. I said in a year or so we'd start trying. We did so, I wasn't completely sure I wanted kids, but if it made him happy, I would bear him a child.
About five months ago, we had succeeded in conceiving a child, and we soon discovered that it was a girl. When I went for my second ultrasound, I found out that our daughter had died in the womb. I was, and am, devastated. Yusei, though, is much worse. He blames himself that he wasn't there enough for me. He won't eat, he won't sleep, and all he does is hang out in our room, shrouded in darkness. Every time I try to talk to him about it, he says "I don't want to talk about it" or "Leave me alone Aki, please" I have the worst feeling that we're getting close to a divorce.
"Aki, earth to Aki," Jack said, waving his hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"What is it Jack?" I asked, trying to sound calm.
"Rua, Ruka and I, Jack Atlus, have decided that you should go and cheer up you depressed husband!" He said, and I rolled my eyes.
"I've already tried that, but he refuses to talk to anyone," I said, obviously exasperated.
"Just give him some of your Aki charm that he can't ignore," He argued, and I closed my eyes, an immediate sign that I didn't want to argue today.
"Fine," I said, heading into my room and sighing at the sight of Yusei. He was curled up against the headboard, sobs escaping out of his chest, and tremors shook his entire body.
I began to sing, something only he and I knew I did.
"I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my Childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time will not erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me…"
I saw Yusei look up. He knew this song, and loved when I sang it, so I continued to sing…
"You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
You face, it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice, it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me…"
I walked over and sat next to him and he sat up and leaned his head on my shoulder. I could feel that he was still crying as I continued.
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me…"
"Aki," He finally said once I had finished "I'm sorry, it's just… I really wanted to have a child, but when I found out about the miscarriage, I just felt like I was never meant to have a family, like the world was punishing me for my life because I was a criminal."
"Yusei… Don't ever think that the world is turning against you, because it's not. I love you, and just because I had a miscarriage doesn't make me love you any less." I said, kissing him quickly as I began to sing again.
"Oh… why you look so sad…
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
And you don't know what to do
And nothing you confess could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
And hey, what you've got to hide
I get angry too
But I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along, cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I will never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I will never desert you
I'll stand by you
Ohh, I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you."
"Aki," Yusei said and I looked over at him "I promise I will be with you, will you promise to work with me to try again, so we can have a child?"
"Yusei," I sighed, not meeting his eyes "I don't know for sure… I mean, I never wanted to have a family. I'm scared that one day, if I have a child, they will have the same powers as me and I will react the same way that my parents did. I'm sorry, I don't think it was your fault that I had a miscarriage, it was my own. If I had been a bit more careful, a bit more certain that I wanted a family, we would have a daughter in our arms right now." By now I had started crying softly and he had wrapped his arms around me.
"Aki," He said "If you had told me, I wouldn't have forced my want to have a family on you." He kissed my forehead, but I obviously wanted more. I kissed him, forcing him back onto the bed.
I ripped off his shirt and we got into a heated session, we almost had done it when I heard the door open up slightly.
"Hello, you have guests here!" Jack said, interrupting our heated session.
I took off my shoe and threw it at him, my powers beginning to get out of my control. Yusei began to whisper soothingly to me, trying to calm me down. I took a deep breath and then turned to Jack.
"Last time I checked, Rua and Ruka had headed home after I went to speak with Yusei, so your intruding in my house, so I, theoretically have the right to call the police." I said, and Jack glared at me. I smirked, letting my hate for that man show. He was so annoying… he thought he was so perfect, but he's far from it. I hated that man with my entire life.
"Anyway, I have to go, see you tomorrow Yusei," He said, walking out, and leaving our house. I smiled and kissed Yusei again.
"Yusei, I love you so much. I promise I will care for our child, once we succeed in conceiving again." I said as we lay down in bed together. My heart began to beat faster as he began to talk.
"I love you too, Aki and I promise I will be here for you no matter what," He said, kissing me gently as I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
A few months later
I looked at the results on the pregnancy test and sighed. Positive, it was just what Yusei wanted; a family. I looked at the clock and knew that Yusei was going to be home in a couple minutes. I put the pregnancy test on the counter and walked out to greet my husband.
"Hey," He said, kissing me deeply.
I pushed him away and walked into the kitchen and sat on the table, covering the test with my hands.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his voice sounding concerned. I took a deep breath and showed him the test and the result.
"You're pregnant…" He said, his voice sounding slightly odd.
"Are… are you mad? I mean, I thought…" I was cut off by the giant hug he gave me.
A smile graced his face as he said "I'm going to be a father!" He seemed so happy, so excited, it made me happy.
"So you're not mad?" I said, happy because of the shimmer in his eyes.
"Of course not, this is what I… what we wanted. I promise to be with you, the whole way." Yusei said, kissing me gently.
As I melted into the kiss the lyrics of the song I sang to Yusei came into my head and I smiled. He really will be there for me, and I will do the same.
I'll stand by you...
Wow…this was pretty long for me. Yay!
Aki: You really think I'm that cheesy?
No, but I'm not very good at writing in character
Aki: Then… hold on a second… I'm pregnant?
Yep!
Aki: I will get you
Whatever, ok so if you want me to write a sequel, then please review.
