Akiza sat and watched Yusei working on his duel runner. It was very quiet, and fairly dark too. Well, they were underground. It looked like a ruined old subway to Akiza. Probably because it was. She couldn't believe the conditions the people of the Satellite had to put up with. It was horrible, but everyone she'd seen seemed to be used to it.
"I don't understand how people can live like this..." Akiza's voice trailed off.
"I know what you mean," said Yusei, coming out from underneath his runner, "but where else can we go? What can we do?"
"It's just so...unfair." said Akiza, her lower lip jutting out a bit, "The people of New Domino have it so easy."
Yusei nodded. Akiza looked so cute when she pouted like that.
"Don't worry about it," he said, returning to work on his duel runner before he got too distracted, "everyone gets by somehow."
They both lapsed into silence again. The conversation had taken Akiza's mind of Sector Security for about two minutes, but soon enough she was starting to feel nervous again. Yusei noticed her agitation almost immediately.
"Calm down Akiza, why would they come looking for you here? They won't find you." he said.
Akiza nodded. She knew he was right. There was no need to worry, Yusei was here.
"Do you hear something?" Akiza asked suddenly.
Yusei listened. It sounded like something was approaching, fast. To him it sounded like...a duel runner. Akiza recognised the sound the same time he did, and they both jumped up.
Sector Security. Should they run?
But they didn't have time to react.
The duel runner turned the corner and sped toward Yusei and Akiza, it screeched to a stop a few feet from them. They both sighed in relief.
"Crow." Yusei greeted him.
Crow took of his helmet and grinned at Yusei. They both tapped knuckles.
"Heard you were back in town," said Crow, "Don't worry, I don't think anyone saw you smuggle in Akiza."
Crow smiled and nodded at Akiza. She returned the gesture.
"So what brings you here Crow?" asked Yusei.
"Uhh, well..." Crow wasn't quite sure what to say. He'd been watching the news, and knew all about Sector Security's announcement about psychics.
"You know Sector Security said that psychics are 'dangerous'..." started Crow. Akiza raised an eyebrow.
"Not that I'd believe them, but, well...you know." he said.
"No," said Akiza, frowning at him, "I don't know. Please, enlighten me."
Crow looked a little nervous. "Well its not like there isn't any truth to what they're saying is there?" he said bravely.
Yusei looked sideways at Akiza. She was glaring at Crow.
"So what are you implying?" she asked.
"Its just that...the kids I look after, I think it would be in their best interest if you didn't go near them. I mean, I know about the hassle at the fortune cup..."
"Crow." warned Yusei. He knew Crow as just looking out for the children, but he could be a bit more sensitive about it. He was beginning to cross the line.
Akiza took a deep breath to calm herself. It didn't work. So Crow thought that she was dangerous, that she shouldn't be around people...
"Come on Yusei, she's hurt lots of people in the past! Even her own father-"
"SHUT UP!" screamed Akiza. Suddenly a vicious wind whipped around her. Yusei was knocked to the ground. Almost everything that was within 10 feet of Akiza shattered. Even the concrete underneath her feet cracked. Crow was thrown of his duel runner, and was slammed into the wall behind him.
Akiza gritted her teeth, trying to stop. But her powers just wouldn't listen.
"Akiza!" shouted Yusei.
At the sound of his voice, Akiza's mind became still. The wind stopped.
Akiza stared with her eyes wide in shock at what she'd done, the destruction she'd caused. Crow stood up, clutching his side. Akiza covered her mouth in horror. She'd hurt Crow.
Even worse, she'd hurt Yusei.
He winced in pain when he stood up, he'd sprained his left ankle slightly. Akiza's eyes began to fill with tears when she saw him limp over to Crow.
"Crow, are you alright?" asked Yusei.
Crow looked pale, he didn't answer, just nodded.
Yusei looked over at Akiza.
"Akiza-"
"I-I'm so sorry!" she said. The tears threatened to spill over, and she turned and ran.
She had no clue where she was going, she just ran.
She ran as far away as she possibly could before her lungs started to burn and she was gasping for breath. She felt dizzy, and stumbled into the first building she came across.
There she sank to the ground. Her head was spinning and she felt faint. It was the mental exhaustion. She felt so tired, like she could sleep forever…
Akiza closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
