I said the second part wouldn't be too far behind. It looks as though that would be right now. Akiza's teeth are now out and she must endure seven days of pain. Let's hope her friends don't interfere.
It was just past nine in the morning, as Yusei was guiding Akiza back home. She kept wobbling left and right, as the anesthesia was still wearing off. "OK Akiza, just stay upright," Yusei instructed her. They slowly made it back home, and as they got through the front door, Jack shouted, "Where have you been Yusei?!" The Satellite duelist rolled his eyes at Jack's arrogant question. "If you're so inclined to know," he told the former the champ, "Akiza needed me to help her with her wisdom teeth recovery." Jack narrowed his vision to focus on the wobbling Akiza. He scoffed at her and went back to reading the newspaper.
"OK then, just lay right here, and you'll be comfortable," Yusei told his ailing friend as he turned the couch into a makeshift bed. He also remembered that should Akiza fell asleep, she would be lying upright, so the blood in her mouth wouldn't choke her. "Is this good enough for you?" Yusei asked her. "It….it's perfect," Akiza answered in a gentle tone. She moved her palm across the left side of Yusei's face to show her gratitude.
Two hours had passed since Yusei brought Akiza back. She had fallen asleep from any anesthesia left in her system. Of course, there were three people left to see Akiza in her current condition. One of them had just gotten up from a long slumber and sauntered down to see Yusei and Jack. It was a well rested Crow who yawned, "Morning guys. What do we have for—when did Akiza get here?" The once-a-thief got shushed from Jack and Yusei. "Akiza is fresh off of her wisdom teeth removal, and she would appreciate it if everything was quiet," Yusei whispered. A small beeping came from Yusei's pocket. The cotton rolls in Akiza's mouth had to be swapped. Seeing as how Yusei didn't want to wake Akiza up, he would have to retrieve the bloody rolls out of her mouth and insert new ones without waking her. It would actually be easier as Akiza's mouth hung open. The Satellite duelist tip-toed next to the sleeping beauty, pulled out the first rolls with some tweezers, and put some new ones in the same spots, all without disturbing Akiza. As Yusei discarded the rolls, Crow gave him a mischievous smirk and a thumbs-up.
The day had progressed to three in the afternoon, which meant the twins would be making their requisite appearance. Akiza was just watching the guys work on their rides when she heard a knock on the door. "Can someone get the door?" she requested. Yusei, in his complying nature, went up to open the door, only to have a raucous green blur tackle him. "Got to think fast Yusei," the blur told him. "I'll keep that in mind Leo," he groaned. Luna walked up to see if Yusei was OK. "I apologize for Leo's behavior," she told him as Yusei got to his feet, "but he was involved in a game of touch football." Yusei looked down to see the male twin zipping off the walls. Luna's eyes trailed down to see a curious sight. "What happened to Akiza? Is she sick or something?" the female twin inquired. "She had her wisdom teeth taken out this morning, and she's staying here until the bleeding and swelling go down," Yusei told Luna as they walked down the staircase. The green haired girl felt she should say "hi" to Akiza, so she got behind the couch and tapped her shoulder to get her attention. "How are you feeling?" Luna asked. Akiza gave the small girl a reassuring smile. "A lot better than this morning," she told Luna, "and it's actually amusing seeing your brother bouncing around like some kind of jumping bean." The female twin wheeled around next to Akiza to watch the guys go after Leo. The two sat together to see one little boy outwit three guys who are taller and older than him.
The three-on-one chase continued for almost an hour until Akiza rang a small bell Yusei gave her to be alerted of a request. Yusei broke away from the chase to see what Akiza wanted. "You rang?" he asked in between breaths of air. "Yes I did," Akiza answered with a trace of laughter in her voice, "could you bring Luna and me some milkshakes?" Yusei help up one hand to stall his answer in order to catch his breath. "Hang tight," he told the waiting duo. Yusei dashed to the kitchen, and came back five minutes later with cold and thick vanilla milkshakes on a silver platter. "Thanks Yusei," Luna and Akiza told him at the same time. Before Yusei could rejoin the chase to capture Leo, Akiza motioned for him to come closer to her wrapped head. She quickly pecked him on the cheek. "You're welcome," Yusei told her. As he got back into the chase, Luna remarked, "You are so lucky. You have Yusei tending to every need you have." Once Akiza rinsed out her mouth with salt water and removed the cotton rolls, she responded, "Yeah, you could say that." The two of them slurped on their shakes while continuing to get a laugh out of watching Leo run around everywhere.
The sun had just about set for the day when Leo was finally captured by Jack. "Please don't hurt me," the male twin pleaded. In between breaths of air, Jack answered, "I'll get back at some other way. You wore me out." Crow and Yusei caught up to Jack and Leo, short on breath as well. It was difficult for Leo to escape, as Jack held the collar of the boy's shirt tight in his fist. "OK, Jack, let him go. He and Luna have school in the morning, and we don't want school officials searching for him," Yusei mediated. Still breathing heavily, Jack reluctantly let go of Leo, who scurried up to the front door. "Fun's over," Luna told Akiza as she got up, "I'll be back tomorrow." Luna waved goodbye to her friends as she walked out, while Leo ran away for his life. Yusei treaded next to Akiza and flopped next to her, completely out of steam. "Rough day?" she asked him. Yusei exhaled, "What's up with that kid? He ran me into the ground, metaphorically, so to speak." Seeing that Yusei was in need of rest and energy, Akiza linked her left hand into his right hand. "Stay here for a bit, and I promise you'll be back to normal." The pair each laid their heads against each other and held that pose for a while.
Day 1 is in the books. What's next for Akiza in Day 2? I'll need input from those who've read this part and the first one. Any suggestions I'll try to incorporate into the third part.
