Heyy! um it's the author. If i don't get some reviews..I'm gonna stop this story. So tell me what you're thinking! :)
Akiza sat in her room on her chair, while her friends Mina, Carly, and Kinuko were doing her hair, makeup, and picking out her clothes.
She sighed as Kinuko brought out eyeliner.
"You know i dont like that Kinu," Akiza reached for the eyeliner. Kinuko pulled away and hopped up and down.
"Noo way! We are making you look beautiful for this weather you like it or not!" Kinu had layered bright blonde hair with black peak-a-boos. It had a blue streak in the layered bangs. She stood tall, almost as tall as Jack. She wore boots and skinny jeans a lot. Usually with a tank top, or some kind of tee-shirt with a snarky saying on it.
Mina held up a pair of true religion jeans that had pink stitching. Carly was holding three different shirts and waiting for Akiza's reaction.
"I can get ready myse-"
"PICK!" Carly screamed
"Okay! Okay! umm..the white one!"
Carly threw down the other two shirts and tossed a white shirt with swirls and curved lines on the right corner that had a small studded peace sign in the middle. The shirt had flared sleeves that ended at the elbow, and on the back was a giant studded peace sign with wings.
"Go!" Mina pushed Akiza into her walk in closet and closed the door.
"I don't know why you're doing this..." Akiza's muffled voice came through the door.
Kinu sat at the vanity applying makeup on her wrist, deciding which will be best for Akiza.
"Hon, we're doing this for you. We want you to look so awesome that even YUSEI will say something!"
Akiza walked out the door, "That's a little farfetched," Akiza sat down at the vanity, and closed her eyes.
She felt Kinu applying eyeliner, and Mina curling her hair.
"Do you want the clip in?" Mina asked quietly.
"I don't need it anymore. I just keep it there 'cause I'm used to it," Akiza winced as Kinu applied eye shadow.
"Alright.." Mina said. Akiza felt the clip leaving and her long bangs fell forward.
"Daaang girrl!" Kinu laughed, "You need a haircut!" Kinu pulled Akiza's bangs back, and handed them to Carly, who was helping Mina.
"Wah la!" Carly said.
"You can open your eyes now!" Mina said, spinning her towards the mirror.
"Wow..." Akiza said. She had light pink makeup on , and a little bit of blush keeping her from looking pale. She had shimmery lip-gloss on and her hair was curled perfectly.
"All ready!" Carly smiled. "Picture time! Say cheese!" Carly took a picture of the four of them.
"Send me that!" Kinu ordered.
They walked down the stairs to see the four boys. Two were watching Tv, and the other two were talking over the counter about runner plans.
"ACHEM!" Kinu coughed. The boys looked up and went. "O.O"
"You look..." Crow started
"Awesome," Yusei said smiling.
"Well, i better get going! Im going to meet him at the little Mexican Resturant down the street. Thanks for all the help !" Akiza waved as she headed to the door.
"Do you need a ride?" Yusei asked.
"I can walk!" She laughed,
"Be back by 10." Jack started
"9," crow corrected.
"8:30 would really be best..." Bruno argued.
"I'll be back by 8. Promise!" She smiled.
"Be safe baby!" Kinu gave her a hug.
"Have fun!" Carly called.
"Call me if you run into trouble!" Mina closed the door and watched Akiza walk away.
*at the Mexican restaurant*
He's 30 minutes late... Akiza thought as she looked at her watch. I thought we decided on 6?
She drummed her fingers on the table lightly.
"Would you like to order seniorita ?" The waiter asked.
"No thanks ," He'll be here... she told herself He promised..
Soon another 30 minutes passed. She finally subsided to ordering chips to pass her hunger.
I was so stupid. To sink this low to go on a date with someone I don't know. ..
Well, i thought i knew him. We hung out at lunch all the time, and we have most of our classes together...
Akiza watched as an elderly couple left the restaurant. She sighed and looked at her watch.
7:30? He's not coming... She sighed and slumped down About 10 minutes later She left a 10 dollar bill at the table to pay for her water and chips. She got up from the table and looked back at the staff. They gave her a solemn look as if to say sorry kid. She sighed and opened the door. The bells gave a slight chime as she walked out. It was below freezing outside. She only had a sweatshirt on. The second she walked out the door, she was met with the freezing rain.
She jumped from the shock. She turned her head to see the Mexican restaurant lights go off; and the lights switched from OPEN to sorry we're CLOSED.
She sighed once more. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She searched in place of somewhere to avoid the rain.
She spotted a small cover on the mouth of an alleyway. She sat down and hugged herself. She blew into her hands in hope of warming them. Her pale; shaking hands reached for her cell phone; to find it not there. Panicking, she looked for money for a pay phone...only to have none. She counted on her date paying for dinner, and for a ride home...
She felt tears pricking at her eyes. She felt a cold tear run down her cheek and down her chin. She would just have to wait until the storm passed...
*At the house*
"Where is she!" Yusei paced back and forth in the living room.
Kinu, Carly, and Mina went home an hour ago. An hour ago was when Akiza should have been home.
"Calm down, she's probably just having fun," Bruno typed into a computer.
"An hour late is ridiculous.." Jack sat, flipping through T.V. channels.
"Would if something happened?" Crow grabbed yusei by the shirt " Would if she's been robed! Hurt! RAPED?" Crow shook Yusei back and forth.
"Calm down! I'll go find her." Yusei said, grabbing a coat.
"BUT WOULD IF-" Suddenly crow fell to the floor. Behind him stood jack with a frying pan.
"Hurry yusei. He's not going to stay out for long.." Jack said, poking crows uncurious body with his foot.
Shaking his head, yusei walked out the door.
Yusei rode his duel runner up and down streets looking left and right. Where did she say she would be... He pondered, The Mexican restaurant! He said, turning his runner around. The wheels slid on the slick ground.
Yusei pulled up to see Akiza sitting in the dark alleyway, the only light shining on her was from the moon. Yusei hopped off his runner, grabbed an umbrella, and ran over to her.
"Akiza! Akiza are you okay!" He said, taking off his coat. He wrapped it around her shoulders and helped her stand up. Akiza shook her head yes, and walked over to Yusei's runner.
Yusei took a look at her abnormally pale hands that were shaking. He closed the umbrella, and sat her on his lap. She could barely hold on to her arms, let alone a speeding runner. He reached around her and grabbed the controls, speeding off to the house.
Yusei kicked open the door, and practically cared Akiza into the house. She was shivering uncontrollably and looked paler than white. The three boys turned their attention to the now kicked open door, and then to the extremely pissed off Yusei. Jack went over and closed the door. Bruno ran upstairs to get some blankets. Yusei sat her down on the couch. Crow sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her hoping to warm her up.
The only noise heard was Akiza's chattering teeth.
Bruno ran downstairs with a handful of blankets asking, "What happened?"
"She got stood up," Yusei said through clenched teeth.
Bruno only nodded and tossed Yusei a blanket. He then wrapped the remaining around Akiza after crow let go.
"So he didn't show up! The little coward..." Jack slammed his fist against the wall, " He won't know what's coming!" He laughed menacingly.
"Just calm down, yelling isn't going to solve anything," Bruno said, looking down at Akiza, who seriously looked like she was going to pass out from the cold.
"Call the girls," Crow told Yusei.
Nodding, Yusei reached for his phone. He dialed Kinu's number
"No!" The signers heard Akiza talk for the first time since she got there. "No..they don't need to know tonight..Its late.." She sneezed.
Yusei closed his phone and went for the medicine cabinet. "Great! Now you caught a cold," He said shaking his head.
Crow got up and went to the kitchen. He started making what looked like hot chocolate.
"You need to get out of those wet clothes.." Jack said to Akiza. "Go take shower or something,"
"You too Yusei," Bruno called.
Akiza nodded and stood up. She headed to the nearest bathroom and turned the shower on high. Akiza was too cold to walk upstairs to her bathroom. She stripped from her wet clothes and let the water run on her.
Yusei came down stairs in dry sweats and a tee-shirt. He turned his attention to the bathroom that had steam seeping around the door.
"She's STILL in there?" He asked.
"Yeah, shes gonna look like a prune when shes done..." Jack flipped through the T.V. channels.
They all heard the water turn off. A few minnutes later, Akiza emerged from the bathroom in a pink fluffy robe and was running a towel through her hair.
"Hey," Crow called, "You just about used up as much hot water to fill about five hundred bathtubs,"
"Hahaha so funny.." Akiza said sarcastically heading up the stairs.
About ten minutes later a frustrated Akiza came down the stairs. She was in a baggy, large tee-shirt and had black pj pants on. They had elastic at the knee and were all bunched up there. Her left hip had hello kitty on it, and the stitching matched the shirt. You could only see the cat when she lifted her arms, because the shirt was so long.
The four boys began laughing. Normally they wouldn't laugh when the tension was so thick a few minutes ago, and it would still be that way, if it wasn't for the giant green brush stuck in her wet tangled hair.
"not. funny. " she demanded.
"Did you rinse off with cold water?" Bruno asked.
"..noo" she said "why?"
" cuz its unhealthy for your hair, as seen in exhibit A." He said pointing to her hair.
Yusei laughed and patted his leg. He was sitting on the couch. Akiza stumbled over the couch and sat criss cross on the floor by his legs. Yusei began massaging the brush out of her hair. Akiza reached for the remote and changed the channel to Wipeout. Crow laughed, "hahah i LOVE this show,"
"It's pathetic, i could totally beat all these people," Jack bragged.
"You kidding. Those obstacles are bizarre!" Akiza pointed to the man failing to hop over a moving obstacle, and laughed.
"Nahh man. Jack would just use his freekishly long legs to hop over everything," Bruno hopped down in the chair next to Crow.
"Haaha or call out Red Dragon Archfeind!" Crow laughed.
"I would kick ALL of your butts! Im way stronger than you wusses," Jack threw his arms up in frustration.
By some miracle, Yusei had gotten the brush out of her mane, and was brushing out her long hair, obviously caught up in his own thoughts. Akiza smiled, noticing this, and turned to watch the T.V.
"Wouldn't it be fun if we all went on that show?" Akiza asked.
"Yeah! And i would have a chance to kick Jacks BUTT!" Crow said, hopping up into a fighting stance.
"You wish!" Jack stood up.
"Sit down guys," Bruno said sighing, "we all know that i would kick both your butts."
Thus the 3 began arguing, drowning out the sound of the T.V.
Yusei was still combing through her hair, even though it was knot- free now. Akiza stood up; shaking Yusei from his thoughts.
"s-sorry!" he said stuttering.
Akiza laughed and sat down on the couch dangerously close to him.
"Thanks for coming for me.." she said resting her head on his shoulder.
Shocked, he answered, "..your welcome..." he wrapped an arm around her. A few minutes later, the fight subsided, and they were all watching the T.V. again. "Can i ask you a question.." Yusei whispered over the signer's laughing.
"Shoot," She mumbled, resting her eyes.
"Why did you go on that date tonight,"
Akiza's eyes shot open. She felt his uneasy gaze on him.
"Well...I thought that..maybe i was too tight. Maybe i didnt let people in...so when i got asked out by him..i just jumped at the idea, because i dont..ya'know..get asked out alot.." she trailed off. "I guess it was just a mean joke.." she closed her eyes.
"You'll always have us though..." He said looking at Bruno, Jack, and Crow who were yelling at the T.V. like it as a football game.
"I know." she said smiling and looked up at him. He gave her a rare grin. Akiza laughed and looked down at her feet.
"Whats so funny?" Yusei asked.
"It's just that... him standing me up..is going to piss off alot of people. Alot of very very strong people."
"Like Kinu and Carly?"
"And Jack!" Akiza laughed looking at the tall giant.
"Maybe we should give him...a taste of his own medicine?" Yusei said stroking his chin with is free hand.
"Like what?"
Yusei smiled.
Bob was hanging upside down by his feet screaming that he was sorry. Holding him, was Jack and Kinu. Carly was taking pictures. Crow was throwing feathers at him and spraying him with cream. Yusei was cutting his long, favored hair with scissors, and Mina was picking up any change that fell out of his pockets. Bruno was standing under him; tickling him to death.
Lastly Akiza stood hands on her hips, demanding him to call himself names.
"Call yourself a weenie."
A scream/laugh came out of him, "IM A WEENIE! A BIG FAT STUPID WEENIE! Oh gosh make it stop! HHAhahaha ! My hairrr!" he screamed and spit out a feather that crow hat put it his mouth.
"Say your sorry,"
"I am sooo sosoosoososo SO SORRY!" he screamed.
"Alright guys, let him go," Akiza ordered.
Kinu and Jack let him go. The wimp; covered in his own hair, feathers, cream, and blue faced, ran for his life squeeling like a pig.
Everyone high-five'd each other laughing.
"Nice plan yusei!" Crow high fived him.
"Thanks," He replied, twirling a pair of scissors around his finger.
Akiza gave him a hug, "Thanks," she mumbled into his shoulder.
Reveiw! Tell me if you liked it and if i should continue! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
