Thank you everyone. Thank for your reviews. Now on to the story.
Akiza: She owns nothing.
Once Yusei and Jack we're settled in the carriage the driver was instructed to go to the train station. Yusei had said that he needed to go pick up his brother and sister, and from there we would get a tour. Crow was quiet for the time being, Jack was making fun of him because I was beating him up. No big deal really, but hey it's a big deal to them. Yusei was looking out the window and sometimes I caught him glancing at me, or just smiling at Crow, I'm guessing for his idiocy, I don't know really. Jack kept glancing at Carly, then at me, and then he smiled at Yusei as if they were having a silent conversation.
The ride was silent actually, no one said a word, I glanced at Carly and she looked at me. She probably feels embarrassed for having to stop me from beating up Crow into a pulp. I really don't blame her either, after all I also feel that way. It's sort of hard trying to keep my temper in check. Yusei didn't seem surprised when he saw me beating up Crow; in fact he was amused, I'm thinking this isn't the first time Crow gets beaten by a woman. Jack was sort of surprised, probably thought I was a sweet and innocent girl who didn't know how to fight. Was he ever wrong, I don't take crap from no one, Carly and Crow know how I am.
Crow and his father also know that I'm not really Carly's sister but to them it doesn't matter. The first time I had met Crow and his father was a year after I was found by Carly's mother on the street, they had taken me to a family reunion. They didn't seem to care really, Uncle Robin liked me and Crow did to, he wasn't so annoying back then. They didn't treat me bad either, which I greatly appreciate. This was a secret between my new family other people saw me as Carly's twin, even though we look nothing alike. To them blood did't matter, what mattered was the heart.
The carriage had stopped and the driver yelled. "We're here." He got off from his place and came to the door to open it. The first one out was Crow, after was Yusei, Jack and then Carly, she was helped out by Jack, and the last one to get out was me. Yusei held out his hand for me to take and I gratefully took it.
"So Yuse, we're those runts?" asked Jack in an annoyed tone.
"The train should be here in about thirty minutes."
"Well why don't you and Crow go wait, while I'll take the girls to the little shop over there to get some coffee." He grinned.
"That's a good idea; well I'll see you three later." Yusei smiled, and handed something to Jack; it looked like money, and then whispered something to him that I couldn't make out.
"Alright Yuse, come on girls lets go get something to drink." Jack smiled.
Yusei and Crow went inside the train station, while Jack, Carly and I headed to a coffee shop across the street. Next to the small coffee shop were smaller shops, they had necklaces, earrings, and other jewelry, clothing, and shoes.
"Hey Carly, I'm going to go to one of those shops over there." I pointed to one of those stores and smiled at her. Muahahaha I'm so evil, I'm going to leave her with Jack.
"Y… you sure y…you don't w…want to come?" she stuttered and her face turned crimson.
"Yeah I'm sure." I winked at her and smirked.
"Do you want something?" Jack asked.
"No, but thank you anyway." I answered and looked at Carly.
"Be careful, don't go too far." She said concerned.
"I won't, so stop worrying about me; I'm not a kid anymore." I laughed to reassure her and went to one of the stores.
The stores were full of people; a lot of them were buying clothing and gifts. People like to shop, this I a big city after all. I saw this beautiful red dress, with teardrops daimond shapes on it, it made the dress shine even more, I started to trace the flower pattern on the side it was really elegant. They had matching shoes to it to; they were flat, silver with a bow in the front. A beautiful flower necklace and earrings, too bad I didn't have money to buy them; I forgot to get some before we left.
"Oh well." I sighed. I was now looking at some stands outside the store, they had make up, jewelry and tools, a whole bunch of random things.
"Help me, please someone." I woman yelled. "They stole my bag, someone help." No one paid attention to her. Wow these people are horrible. I came up to her, she was crying.
"Who stole it?" I asked her.
"He ran over there, he took my savings; please help me get it back." She pointed to the way the man went. I saw him turn the corner.
"Stay here I'll get it back," I told her. "Don't worry."
I started to run were the man had just turned, I saw him stop running. I ran a bit faster until I saw that I was a bit closer to him, he hasn't suspected me yet. I was just a few feet away from him, I kept getting closer and closer, until I saw the bag he was carrying. I turned around to see if anyone was watching me, then I notice the woman was following right behind me. Didn't I tell her to stay where she was? I looked at the man he notice me following him, he was suspicious, he picked up his pace a bit. And turned to the right to go inside an alley, guess he knows.
The woman was now next to me, she had stopped crying, I told her to stay a few feet from the alley, I reassured her that I was going to get her bag back, but she didn't listen to me so she headed inside the alley, and I went right behind her. I just know this won't end well.
*Carly's POV*
Jack and I were drinking coffee and enjoying a couple of pastries inside the coffee shop. We didn't talk much. I'm sure Aki did this on purpose, she was smirking evilly. I'm worried about her actually, I have this weird feeling, but I keep brushing it of saying that she's just a couple of feet from where we are. She does attract danger, and I can't help to worry about her, she is my sister, and my only friend.
"Hey are you alright?" he asked concerned.
"Huh? Y…yes I'm f…fine." I stuttered. I don't like to stutter but I can't help it, I'm nervous around him. I felt heat rush up on my cheeks.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes… I'm just worried about Aki." Oh so now I don't stutter.
"Well c'mon lets go look for her." He got up from his seat and headed towards me, pulled my chair out and held his hand out so I would take it. He's such a gentlemen. I smiled at him.
Once out of the coffee shop we headed for the little stores right next to it. I saw so many beautiful things here including a dress, it was red, I think Aki would have love to get it, red is her favorite color, right next to that one was a beautiful blue dress, I so want this. Jack came close to me with a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen.
"Yes I want that blue one and the red one. Can you please get them for me?" he asked the girl. She nodded and started to take them down.
"W…what are you doing Jack?" at least my stuttering went down to a minimum.
"I'm getting you those dresses, since you seem interested in them." He smiled.
"Nn… no you don't h…have to." I was blushing. The girl was done putting them in bags and he had already paid for them before I could do anything about it. I sighed. "Thank you Jack."
"C'mon lets go find Aki." He took the bags so I wouldn't carry them.
*Aki's POV*
I was successful at getting back that bag for her, that man had dropped the bag in the alley and left, or so I thought, once the woman was out of sight the man pulled me in the alley with him and punched me in the stomach. I couldn't breathe; I was on my knees, trying to get air back inside my lungs. But the man was laughing maliciously, it reminded me of His laughed when he kicked me out of my home. He then pulled me up from my hair, pinned me to the wall, he grinned.
*Carly's POV*
After twenty minutes of searching I couldn't find her anywhere, she's not where I had left her, and she said she wouldn't go far. My eyes were getting watery from all the worry. I just hope she's okay. Jack told me to calm down but I just couldn't. Yusei and Crow were already heading out of the station with two green haired teens. I know one of them is a girl because of the dress and the other one a boy, they must be twins. Tears were now coming out of my eyes; I couldn't help but to cry. Jack hugged me and reassured me that Aki was okay. once Yusei and Crow were near they notice my tears faling.
"What's wrong Carly?" Crow asked concerned.
"Aki's gone." I sobbed and buried my face in Jack's chest.
