True Feelings Chapter 9

(Kalin's House)

Akiza's POV

I still can't believe I'm doing this. But it's for Yusei.

I got off my runner and walked to the door of Kalin Kesler's house and knocked on the door.

"Kalin? It's me Akiza." I yelled.

Then he opened the door and pulled me in, closing the door behind me.

"Hey! What's the big ----"I paused looking at him.

For a guy trying to reunite with his friends, he was trying too hard.

"Do I look alright?" he asked.

I couldn't lie to him.

"Honestly? You look like you're trying way too hard." I replied.

"Well what should I do Akiza?"

I don't know. If it wasn't for me bumping into you on the street two days ago, you recognizing me as 1 of the 5 Signers, and telling me how you wish you could see the guys again. I wouldn't be here right now… But I thought it would be a nice surprise for Yusei and the others, if I brought you to the WRGP.

"Well for starters, lose the suit, it's too fancy. Get a pair of blue jeans and a T-Shirt, with some real shoes and let's go!"

He ran back upstairs to change.

Sighing, I sat down on the sofa and looked at the pictures on his coffee table.

Aww, How sweet.

I looked at a picture of Yusei normal dueling Kalin.

All these pictures are so cute!

"You like them?" Kalin said from behind me.

I jumped. "Kalin, you scared me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"It's okay... You ready?"

"Yeah, how do I look now?"

"Perfect! Now let's go!"

I walked out the door while he went to the garage.

I hopped on my runner at the same time he pulled his out the garage.

"Which way?" he asked.

"Don't worry about it, just follow me."

I pulled out the driveway with Kalin following, and headed towards the WRGP.

I radioed Yusei and the others.

"Yusei? You guys there?"

"Yeah, Akiza we're here." Jack responded.

"Jack? Where's Yusei?" I asked.

"Preparing, I hope. He's getting ready for the first duel."

"How much time is there before his duel starts?" I asked.

"Umm…… About 20 minutes."

"I'm on my way."

Ten minutes later, Kalin and I made it to the WRGP, and parked our runners in the Team parking lot. Then we headed upstairs to the team viewing pit. Before I went through the door, I turned to Kalin.

"Wait here, till I come get ya."

He nodded as I went in.

"Akiza!" Leo shouted. "You made it." He and his sister Luna ran up to hug me.

"Hmmm."

"Glad you made it." I looked up to see Yusei in front of me.

Then a man came through the other door. "Mr. Fudo? It's time."

"Okay, I'm coming." He said, as he grabbed his helmet, and followed the man out the door.

I sighed. "Well so much for my surprise."

Crow and Jack stared at me. "What surprise?" They said in unison.

"Wait a second." I said as I walked to the door, opened it, and told Kalin to come in.

He stepped through the door and smiled.

"H-H-Hey guys, it's been awhile." He said.

Crow walked up to him. Kalin? Is that really you?"

Kalin nodded.

Then answer this one question: What type of monster cards do I duel with and why?" Crow asked.

"You use winged beast type monster, preferably with "Blackwing" in its card name. And you duel with those type cards because when we were children, you wanted to be as free as a bird." Kalin replied.

Crow hugged him tight. "It really is you, only the real Kalin would know that."

"Shhh! Yusei's duel is starting." Leo said.

Everyone grew quiet and sat down to watch Yusei's duel.
