Hey all! Note that this is my first time posting a 5D's story (as you can see). It took me a good chunk of time trying to think of an appropriate title for this fic (yea, I was actually picky with choosing this story's title). A warning prior to the future chapters: this story might get a little OOC-ish. I'm trying my best to stay OC, but if the characters seem a little or too OOC, forgive me. Another warning before you read: Yusei is a girl throughout this entire story, so if you don't like it, I suggest you stop reading right now. I just thought that it might be fun giving female Yusei a spin in a fic. I'd like to hear what you guys think of her. Oh and, if you plan on giving a review with strong criticism, that's fine, I'm human and I will try to learn. If you plan on flaming, I'll just take it that it was the best fic you've ever read and you just can't wait for more.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the following 5D's characters in this fic. Credit goes to Kazuki Takahashi for creating a great new series (even though it's a spin off of a spin off of a good show (no offense)). What I do own is the plot to this story, the title, a new featured character in this fic, and that's pretty much it...

Featured pairing: Mild JackxYusei

Enjoy!

Chapter 1- A Favor of You

It was the middle of the summer. Jack just happened to be in my favorite bar having a cold drink. He recognized some faces, most of which he has seen at the turbo duels. He recognized those of Yusei's friends Akiza and Luna. (It was a bar that you could drink if you were with an adult, but Akiza was the one who was having a beverage with alcohol.) He knew that if those two were at this bar, which means that Yusei would have to be in town.

"Did you hear?" Akiza said to her young friend.

"What?" Luna said sounding eager to know. "Did you see Yusei?" She was very quick with her question, since she was dieing to know where Yusei has been. She and her brother looked up to the duelist; Yusei was an idol to them.

Akiza giggled and smiled at the young, impatient, girl. "Just relax," She said as she patted the girl's shoulder. "Yes, I did see Yusei and we sat down at the ice cream parlor and talked,"

"Really? What did she say?" Luna asked eagerly with a grin on her face. There was one piece of news that she was just dyeing to know about.

Akiza smiled knowing what the girl was trying to get at. She answered happily:

"Yusei had her baby back at the satellite!"

"YES!" Luna exclaimed with a smile as she pumped a fist in the air.

"Yusei was… pregnant all this time?" Jack thought in shock of this sudden news. He starred down in to my half empty cup. A shadow of guilt and regret overshadowed him… "It's only been… four months since then… I still remember it like it was yesterday…"

"Four months ago, Yusei had won the Fortune Cup again, reigning champion for five years straight. After all the celebrations, I happened to stumble across her when she was attending to a lose panel on her D-Wheel, which I helped knock loose during the turbo duel. I simply congratulated her on her win for five years straight. Shortly after that, being the stuck up, jealous, jerk I was, I aggravated and harassed her. Yusei was so angry and annoyed by me, even though she didn't show it, she took off on her D-Wheel… I've never heard from her since…"

"After four long months to think of why Yusei wasn't around, guilt started to set in. And now, just hearing that she was pregnant at that time made me regret my actions and pushed the guilt further on me… I may not seem like it, but deep down inside… I really do have a heart…"

"Is Yusei ok?" Luna inquired.

"Yusei is fine, the way she put it…" Akiza said as she took a sip from her drink.

"Why do you say it that way Aki?" Luna asked with a little worry to her voice.

"You would say that too if you saw the way Yusei looked," Akiza replied as she looked down at her drink. "She was worn out… To say the least…"

"Aw, poor Yusei…" Luna said her big eyes full of sadness as she looked up at her friend. "If you see her again, tell her that if she needs some extra help, or a break from taking care of her baby, she can always visit me and Leo,"

"I'll make sure to relay that message to her, next time I see her," Akiza said with a smile.

"So, is it a boy or a girl?" Luna asked with her big bright smile as she jumped up and down in her seat.

Akiza smiled and giggled again. "Relax kid… I wasn't going to leave the best part out…"

Luna settled down in her seat and giggled softly.

"Yusei told me, and even let me hold, her two week old…baby girl!" Akiza whispered excitedly to the girl with a smile.

"What does she look like?" Luna asked with her big smile.

"Well, the baby is awfully cute; I'll give her that… But, she has blonde hair, a cute button nose, and big blue-eyes, like her mother's," Akiza said smiling as she described the child.

"A baby girl…" I thought as I took a drink from my glass.

"Yusei told me that, yes, traveling has been taking a toll on her, now that she has a child to take care of…" Akiza said and sipped her drink.

"I would imagine…" Luna said as she looked down at the marble counter top.

"Get this," Akiza started to tell her young friend. "She told me, that after childbirth, she rested for only 24 hours and then she was back on her feet and gone with her child and D-Wheel. Yusei says that it's not easy for her to find food for her baby, and herself. And with the temperature dropping at night, it's hard to keep warm…"

Jack looked back down at what was left of his drink. He once knew the feeling of living the way Yusei did, only without a child. Keeping warm and finding food was a challenge in itself. He closed his eyes and finished up what was left of his drink before he would leave to head back home. As he did so, he tried to ignore the conversation, but he couldn't help but to overhear the next thing that was said…

"Yusei told me, when I was holding her young one, that the baby was sick with something she can't identify. It could possibly kill the baby if not treated in time…"

Jack almost choked on the liquid that was about to slide down his throat, but managed to swallow it, and coughed shortly after and cleared his throat. He was definitely shocked by what he had just heard and he was sure he didn't just dream it.

"Has she asked anyone for help?" Luna asked as she looked up at her older friend. She was clearly worried for the health of the mother and baby.

"No…" Akiza sighed. "I'm afraid not…"

"Poor Yusei…" Luna said expressing her deep empathy for her good friend.

"Yusei…" Jack whispered under his breath as he looked in to his now empty cup.

That conversation that he had over heard had stayed in the back of his mind and it never seemed to stop…

----

It was 4 pm the next day on the island of New Domino City. It was a calm and cool day with a high of 60 degrees and the low of 51 degrees.

Jack sat in his study, at his desk, reading a book he had started two days ago. The conversation at the bar that night had stayed in the back of his mind all through the night.

Coincidentally, the book that Jack was reading related to what he learned and heard about Yusei. It was also reflecting his previous actions right back at him.

He sighed an empty sigh as he set the book down and took off his thin rimmed glasses and placed his hands over his eyes. How was he supposed to know if Yusei was pregnant or not? He had noticed before hand that she had gotten a little fatter, but was he supposed to ask her point blank if she was pregnant, before he harassed her?

"All I need is for Yusei to give me a second chance… to make up for my poor behavior…" Jack said to himself. He sat back in his chair and looked up at the crystal chandelier that hung from the ceiling in the middle of the room. "After all, we used to be really great friends in the past…"

Just as he sighed once more, there was a knock on the door. The door opened and in walked his butler Kemi.

"Master Atlas, there is someone here to see you." He informed.

"Who is it?" Jack asked as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and interlaced his fingers in front of his mouth, like he would always do when he was thinking about something.

"A nice young lady by the name of Yusei Fudo, sir." Kemi said as he stood with his hands behind his back. "I do believe she is your dueling rival."

Jack immediately rose from his seat. "Did you let her in?" He asked.

"No sir,"

No less than a second later, Jack was already out of the room and down the hall. He quickly made his way down the marble staircase, across the granite floor and up to the door. He didn't waste a second to open it for the young lady. He said nothing, but invited her in.

"Atlas," Yusei said as she stepped in through the door, holding a bundle of torn up and holey cloths to her chest. "This may sound strange, don't ask why just yet, but I need to ask you for a favor…" She said as Jack shut the front door.

"Listen," The dark haired girl began as he took a few steps toward her. "I know that we've been enemies and rivals ever since that day when you took my Star Dust Dragon card. But, that's not the point I'm trying to get at…" She said as she took a step forward, still holding that bundle of cloths to her chest. "What I'm saying is that I need your help…"

"To do what?" Jack asked, even though he already had a pretty good idea.

"I need you to help my daughter…" Yusei said softly as she cradled the bundle and pulled some of the cloth aside to reveal her two week old baby. "I'm pretty sure by now that you know about her…"

She felt as though Jack had hardly paid attention to what she had said. He seemed to be admiring the floor's shine.

"Listen Jack," Yusei said and shifted her weight to her left leg as Jack paid attention to her now. "I need you to understand that my daughter is very sick and needs some medical attention, or she could die…" She looked down at the sleeping child in her arms and adjusted a little. You couldn't tell if the child is sick at first glance, but if you watched her long enough, she would show signs of discomfort.

She sighed sadly and looked up at the blonde haired young man. "Out of all the people I could have went to… I came to you Jack… If you don't approve of me staying here, I could just walk out right now."

"I'll comply…" Jack spoke up. Truly he could have said something better in a little friendlier tone.

He beckoned for the mother to follow him. He led her to his room; he went in search of something he was given recently.

The baby girl stirred in her mother's arms as Yusei gently patted the baby's back.

After a minute, or two, Jack found what he was looking for, it was a plastic, foldout, crib that his mother was planning to throw out but decided to give it to her only son and in return he would give her grandchildren. He unfolded it and then put the bottom of the crib in place. Once he was done, he stepped aside and allowed Yusei to place the baby in there.

As Yusei placed her child in the crib, she felt a little more intimidated by Jack, more than usual… Something about him was completely off. Or, maybe, it was just her. After all, she wasn't used to him or being around him for very long, but she might as well start to, somewhat, "warm up" to him. If she didn't warm up to him soon, her daughter's recovery could be her misery…

So how do you like the idea of female Yusei? I would love to hear feed back on it in your reviews.
