A/N: OK, I was about to update this thing not with this chapter, but as Shardwing52 remembered me that they are just 12; I could throw the chapter that I already wrote in the dump. So enjoy…
Rua and Ruka eventually made it home. They were eating as Rua remembered how Ruka said goodbye, "Yeah, you're right, let's go, bye Yusei, bye Aki, thanks for talking with me," 'I wonder what did they talk about, maybe about someone they love or something like that?'.
"Hey Ruka, what did you talk with Aki?" trying not to sound noisy.
"Eh… Well, you know girly stuff, about our future and so," explained Ruka.
"Oh… she wants to pro league right?" asked Rua.
Ruka remembered that she didn't let her tell what she was planning for the future. She remembered that Aki told her she didn't yet decide. "I think she didn't yet decide, but I think you are right, she is probably going to pro league,"
"Didn't decide between what?" asked Rua confused.
"We probably have to wait to know it." said Ruka. "What about you?" Ruka asked him.
"Well isn't it obvious?" Rua continued, "I want to be a Duel Riding Champion, that way I can protect you better."
"Rua…" said Ruka touched emotionally because of Rua who wants to get a champion so he can protect her more, she then kissed him on his cheek as a thank you while both blushed a little.
It eventually got late and they went to sleep. In the following morning was Saturday so they didn't have to go to academy, so they could sleep a little longer.
As Rua got up, he saw her laying there and decided to wake her up.
"Ruka, wake up, Ruka…" whispered Rua while shaking Ruka slightly.
"Good morning, sleepyhead." said Rua as she woke up.
"Good morning." said Ruka as she got up.
"Let's head to the kitchen and eat something." said Rua.
"Where you at the shop?" asked Ruka.
"Why should I go there?" countered Rua surprised.
"We are out of cereals," answered Ruka a bit annoyed.
"What? Well that's not such a big deal, I can go there for five minutes," said Rua as he got his Duel Board.
He then left to go to the shop; there was a Super Market near Tops, so he went there. He bought the cereals; he also bought some milk just in case they had none.
"How much is that?" asked Rua.
"That's 4 dollar and 50 cent." answered the cashier.
"I can pay with credit card right?" asked Rua concerned as he didn't take cash from home.
"Yeah, sure." answered the cashier.
"Then here," said Rua, as he gave him the credit card. Ruka had a similar one; their parents did send them as the house keeper stopped coming to watch over them. The cashier packed them and gave them to him.
As Rua was about to leave he saw some beautiful roses that were near the exit. He remembered Yusei telling him "show her your feelings by buying her some flowers, which will make it easier for you." He then took a flower, went back to the cashier and bought it. He then got on his Duel Board and went home.
As he went inside the house, Ruka was already waiting in the kitchen with two bowls for the cereals. He unpacked them and held the rose in his hand while not facing Ruka.
"I thought while I was there I could buy something beautiful for a be-beautiful girl," said Rua as he gave her the flower, he was doing his best not to blush.
"Rua…" said Ruka emotionally touched as she was blushing. "Thanks, it's beautiful," as she kissed him on his cheek. 'That is very nice of him… maybe he does like me the same way I do… no, I don't think so' Ruka thought.
"So we should eat now," said Rua to which Ruka nodded.
After they ate they decided to visit the team at the shack.
While they were walking, an awkward silence followed.
"So Aki is about to graduate, right?" asked Rua hoping to break the silence.
"Uh, yeah, she will graduate next week." answered Ruka.
"She finished fast," replied Rua.
"Well, she learns a lot after all," countered Ruka.
"Like you… I just hope you don't graduate before me or I'll be there all alone, even if I have friends there, they can't be compared to you." said Rua which made Ruka blush.
'Maybe Aki was right; maybe he likes me too,' thought Ruka as she wrapped an arm around his waist. "I would never leave you alone." said Ruka.
"Thanks Ruka," said Rua while blushing, eventually Ruka did let go of him since people started watching.
They eventually arrived at the shack but found there only Yusei.
"Hey Yusei," said both of them as they entered the shack.
"Hey Rua, Ruka, how have you been doing?" greeted Yusei.
"Good," both replied, "So is that device of yours working?" continued Rua.
"Yeah, it's working better than I thought it would." answered Yusei.
"What device?" Ruka asked confused.
"Yusei thinks that there will be another threat to mankind," answered Rua.
"What?" asked Ruka a bit scared.
"I am afraid the monument will still get out of control, after all Z-ONE knew the ruined future and in that future it is said that I led the people hearts, which I am doing now. So to stop that disaster from happening, I am working on a project called Fortune, of course with the allowance of Yeager who did support me with a team of scientists and the needed materials, with that project if it works it won't be possible for the monument to get out of control that easy," explained Yusei.
"I understand," said Ruka.
"So, any way where are the others?" asked Rua.
"Well, Crow wanted to ask Ushio and Mikage if he could get a job as a public security officer. Aki has to study more than ever since she has a last exam to pass before she can graduate. And Jack vanished from yesterday." explained Yusei.
"Wow, we have missed a lot for 1 day." said Rua surprised about what happened in one day.
"Wait one second, did you just say Crow went to become a police officer?" said Ruka surprised.
"Yeah, I was surprised too after all I know how many times he did duel with the Public Security," explained Yusei, "He said he wanted to protect this city and the children more."
"Well I don't know what to think of him being a police officer but he surely will try his best," said Rua.
"That is for sure, anyway why are you guys here anyway?" asked Yusei.
"Well we were just bored and didn't know what to do." explained Ruka.
"I understand, but in about an hour I have to go to Project Fortune, today is the first official meeting with the other scientists." said Yusei.
"Well then we will go after a while." said Rua understanding.
"Hey, can I go in the bathroom please?" asked Ruka.
"Of course," answered Yusei as she left. "So Rua did you follow any of the advices I gave you?"
"Y-Yeah, I bought her some flowers and you seem to be right. Thanks." said Rua.
"Well, I am happy I could help, just remember don't go to fast or you will probably ruin everything except if you are sure that she likes you back." said Yusei as Ruka came back.
"Well, you sure got to be ready so we will leave now," said Rua and they both headed home while waving to Yusei.
A/N: So what do you all think, if they have to go slowly they will need some time… anyway review.
