Chapter 1
Aki's POV
I sat down, ignoring my sadness. It has been two days since I shouted at Mikage and two weeks since Yusei didn't wake up. Suddenly, the door rang. I didn't stand up. Now it rang twice. I still didn't get up. I was too sad to see anyone right now. It rang again. Again and again it rang, annoying me.
Fine then. I slowly got up but walked to the door. And then, was it just me or did I heard Yusei's footstep right behind me. I stopped walking half-way through and listened to the footstep, it was still there, closer to me than ever can be. No, I wasn't scared. But it made me felt weird. Somehow, I knew it was Yusei. Yusei Fudo.
I turned around before I can stop myself. And then, the footstep stopped. But when I looked up in the air, no one was there. The door rang one last time and I was interupped in my thoughts by it. I ran to the door but then again, I heard the footsteps. Is something wrong with me? Am I having problems with my mind?
When I opened the door, I saw Mikage. I saw her, no doubt. Her face was all smiley, something is up. "Hey, Aki, I knew you were home!" she chirped happily. "Yeah," I said, not nice but not in a mean voice. "But where were you? It took you a long time to come to the door," she said, with a huge smile stuck to her face.
"I-I was upstairs and couldn't really hear the bell," I lied. I didn't want her knowing that I was hearing Yusei footsteps and I'm really sure she doesn't need to worry about that I have some kind of problems with my mind.
"Oh," she said knowingly. She smiled once again. "I got good news!" she gushed. "What?" I said. "You got new shoes?" she paused. "No," she said, ignoring my I-not-interested- voice. I glanced down at her shoes, all shiny and black.
"Something happened between you and Jack?" I guessed. She turned pink but said no. "Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded seriously so I trusted her.
"I give up," I said, walking back to my chair and sitting on it. Mikage closed the door and walked to me. Then it came again. The footstep of walking boots. Yusei.
"Do you hear some boots walking?" I asked her. She looked confused. "Boots?" she said. So she didn't hear. "Yeah." I said. "No, why?" she said, admitting that she didn't hear.
"Oh, ramndon question," I said, laughing it off. "Oh yeah, the good news is that...." she trailed off, smiling really hard. "Yusei woke up!!!!" she exclaimed. I nearly leaped off my chair. I didn't know what Mikage was going to say.
"Are you serious?" I asked her. "Yeah," she said. "I'm going to go see him." I said, walking out my house with Mikage. I closed the door, and told Mikage that I can go alone. She nodded and left.
I started running, hearing the sounds of boots after me. I didn't turn around this time, I ignored it. I continued running, but I kept hearing it.
Finally I got there. I paced slowly to his room and opened the door, catching my breath.
A/N: Haha, I had fun writing this chapter. The boot idea came from my head while I was writing it. Next chapter is about Aki inside Yusei's room. Anyway, thank you for reading.
Please review!!!
