So here's chapter nine, sorry if it's kind of bad, I wrote most of this on a plane ride up to Illinois for a science competition during May.

Aki: Then why did it take you so long to upload it?

Ok two things, one, Why do you care, and two, I was busy working the sequel to I'll Stand by You, Family Troubles and my new Rosario + Vampire fanfiction, Sisterly Struggles (check either out if you haven't already)

Aki: I don't.

Ok then, now please do the disclaimer

Aki: AkixYusei doesn't own Yugioh 5ds, but she owns the plot, Daisy, and Zach

Aki POV

In nightmare

Yusei and I were sitting on the beach at sunset, relaxing; all of the murder business was forgotten. Until I heard the crack of a gun and saw him fall to the ground, bleeding to death.

I saw a shadow of a man walking towards us, but that didn't matter as I kneeled down at his side.

"Yusei," I screamed, shaking the now dead figure of my boyfriend. I began to sob as I heard another crack and felt something penetrate my chest, and I fell into the darkness.

End nightmare

I sat up in the hospital bed, panting and sweating up a storm. I looked at the clock on the wall above me and sighed, 4 am, great, I still have four hours until Yusei can pick me up.

I shivered as the memory of my nightmare came flooding back into my mind, Yusei being murdered, me after him.

I stood up, being careful of the IV's that were still attached to me and walked to the bathroom. The memory of my nightmare was haunting. I heard footsteps behind me, and I swiftly yet fearfully turned around…nothing.

"I must be going insane" I muttered, splashing my face with the ice cold water, gasping at the feel of it. I walked out of the bathroom and looked at the clock, it now read 5 am. I ended up walking up to the window, and saw the faint glow of the rising sun.

I smiled and stared out into the distance. I don't know how long I was standing there, but I turned when I heard a timid knock on the door and it creak open.

"Ms. Izayoi," The nurse said, fearfully "Your ride is here" My ride…Yusei! I quickly got dressed and ran out of the hospital and saw him, my savoir; my knight in shining armor, Yusei Fudo.

I stumbled forward into his arms, and he kissed my head gently. It was like heaven, feeling his warm breath and his hands rubbing my back.

"Come on Aki," He said "Let's go home"

"Home…" I breathed happily as he climbed on his D-Wheel and I went after him. He took off faster than a speeding bullet and I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and leaned my head on his back. I looked around and immediately recognized the scenery. He was taking me to my house, where I would be alone until my parents got back from their vacation in America for a meeting.

"No…" I said "No, don't take me there"

"Why Aki," He asked "Why not?"

"I don't want to be alone, not after…" I shivered at the memory and grabbed my wounded side with one hand, the other one still holding onto him.

"Alone," Yusei questioned "Why would you be alone?"

"My parents are in America for a meeting" I explained "And they left me alone until they got back"

"Oh," He said "Where could I take you then?"

"Um, maybe, your house," I said, uncertainly. I was nervous that he didn't want me with him, but all that melted away when he turned the runner around and drove off to his house.

"Of course Aki," He said, driving his runner over the Daedalus Bridge.

I looked out at the horizon, viewing the beautiful ocean that separated what was once satellite and city. It was breathtaking, both the view and the thought that the only reason the bridge was built was due to the battle with the dark signers, and Yusei's determination.

We had soon reached his house, the rose garden next to it where I had found the body was enclosed by police tape.

I spotted Daisy and Zach talking to a local police officer when she spotted me. Her heels clicked at the ground as she ran to me and enveloped me in a tight hug.

"Aki," She said after she had released me "I'm so glad your okay"

"Hi Daisy," I said simply, glancing nervously at Zach as he cleared his throat and began talking.

"Listen, I'm sorry about everything I said about you, and that I had shot you, it was irrational. I was so focused on what the file said that I didn't seek the truth. I'm terribly sorry," He said and she elbowed him. He gave her a glare and continued talking "And as for me shooting you, it was an accident, ok maybe it wasn't an accident, but I sure didn't know what the hell I was doing. It was as if someone was controlling me to kill you."

I couldn't help but to smile at his words. "Does this mean that we are friends?" I asked, and he shook his head.

"No, at least not until this case is over, ok?" He said and I nodded. He smiled and walked away with Daisy as Yusei and I walked into the house.

"Do you want something to eat?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yes, please" I said and we walked into the kitchen together.

"What do you want?" He asked, opening the fridge.

"I'm capable of making my own food" I said, walking over to a cabinet and taking out a box of pancake mix when I heard the door open.

"Yusei," Rua yelled "Will you duel me?" I laughed at the young boy's enthusiasm as he and Ruka walked into the kitchen.

"Aki nii-chan" She said, running to me "Your ok"

"Maybe later Rua," Yusei said, placing his hand on his shoulder "Aki and I have to eat."

"Aw, really," He complained.

"Oh Rua, stop your complaining, he did say he will duel you." She said as I began to mix the pancakes. The young boy looked up at me and shook his head.

"Fine" He muttered heading to sit on the couch.

I quickly finished making the pancakes and sat down at the table with Yusei, and the twins. I watched happily as they grabbed some pancakes and began to eat. I did the same, taking only one.

We soon finished and I watched as Rua and Yusei went outside to duel while Ruka and I stayed inside to talk.

"Aki," She said "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Ruka," I lied "Don't worry about me." In truth, I wasn't fine. My nightmare was still haunting me, making me think that Yusei was going to be dead every time I looked away.

I watched as Yusei came back in with Rua, him explaining something about his deck. Sometimes, I wish I could be as calm as Yusei was, but currently I was a nervous wreck. I felt someone was staring at me, it was uncomfortable. I sat up and closed my eyes. Everything felt a little peaceful after that, until I heard the crack of a gun.

Wow… Major cliffhanger

Aki: I hate you

Ok then…. Please Review, but no flames!
