A/n: Second chapter, people! Thanks for the comments, they really made me think. So to clarify, it will be a bit OOC, okay? Enjoy!
Chapter 2
As they stepped outside, Akiza noticed the two runners.
"And how exactly am I supposed to ride?" she demanded. Crow pointed to a red runner in the shadows.
"That's yours," he told her. Akiza stared at the runner.
"Yusei did teach you how to ride?" Jack said sarcastically. "Or was he scared that you were going to get hurt?" Akiza narrowed her eyes.
"I know how to ride," she snapped, "but isn't that Yusei's runner?" Crow nodded. "You guys can use it later," he added. Akiza wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion.
"Are the questions over? We need to leave," Jack told her. All three of them mounted the runners and revved the engines. They stepped on the gas pedals and sped off.
"Follow me," Jack directed. As they rose, Akiza stayed on Jack's tail, with Crow on her right.
"So what exactly are we doing?" Akiza asked over the engine. Jack glanced over to Crow. Crow shrugged. Akiza glared at them.
"Seriously, Jack, tell me," she threatened.
"Well, we might be going to see your boyfriend," Jack said without turning to her. He sounded like he was fighting a laugh. Crow grinned.
"We might go see your darling, Yusei," Crow snickered. Akiza fought the blood rushing to her face.
"Yusei doesn't like me," she said defensively. Jack and Crow exchanged a glance that looked like Oh, boy.
"Sure, he doesn't," Jack said, "All he does is save you every time you go mad. All he does is risk his soul or life for you." Akiza blushed.
"That doesn't mean anything." She said it to herself as much as she said it to Jack and Crow. Crow rolled his eyes.
"That's what lovebirds do all the time, eh, Jack?" Crow said knowingly. "Deny,deny,deny." Akiza's face was now burning. Jack smirked, but a little red doused his cheeks as well. He turned on the sign, New Domino Beach. The sun was setting and the water sparkled diamond and emerald. The lush waves gently pushed against each other and the smell of delicious food and ocean water mingled. Jack sniffed the air.
"Akiza." He pointed to to a beautiful little mahogany table in the middle of the beach. The polished wood table had two chairs, china plates, delicate silver cutlery and a huge platter in the middle. There was sushi, noodles, and different kinds of delicious Japanese food. The smell wafted around, but the beach was empty.
"The owner cleared the beach," Crow explained. "She really likes Yusei." Crow looked dreamily at the food, then slapped himself.
"Let's get out here," he said hurriedly. Jack nodded. "You're right, I need to pick up Carly," he agreed.
They ran off, leaving Akiza standing in the golden sand, waiting. Suddenly, She heard the roar of an engine and saw Yusei in a black, no-sleeve top and black jeans. His biceps stood out and his hair was slightly flecked with sweat. Wow, Akiza thought. Yusei had a certain charm, like a benign light was always shining out of him. It was comforting and warming to Akiza.
"Sorry for making you wait," he apologized. "Dig in," he added as he sat down. Akiza smiled tentatively.
"Thank you, Yusei," she said as she looked into his deep azure eyes. He stared back with the same intensity into her sparkling amber-brown jewels. A rosy flush ebbed its way into Akiza's cheeks as she looked down and began to eat. Yusei resisted the urge to brush his hands against the side of her face as he too, dug in.
And so they ate.
