AnimeKiwi369: I know it's been two weeks, but it's been hectic!

Anny: Sophomore year can do that to ya.

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah, especially when you have volleyball from 5:30-7 almost every night or a game, which I don't play in. It gets frustrating.

Anny: Yeah. So because you have been so busy I won't be angry. Though last chapter was a cliffhanger.

AnimeKiwi369: Thanks. Also my muse has been on vacation lately. Especially since the botched ending of 5D's-the dubbed one. Though it did leave more room for possibilities. However, I hated it. I'll get over it though. So I'm going to incorporate more of the original content.

Anny: All right. So what happens in this chapter?

AnimeKiwi369: If you're so anxious, read and find out. I'm gonna do the disclaimer. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters. I only own my OCs and the storyline.

Psychic Connections

Chapter 9

Anny stared at the number on the front of her screen. She was going to get it now. She looked at the two green-eyed men in front of her. Her other blonde-haired surrogate aunt and other blue-haired honorary uncle rarely called her personally when they were in France. Except when they wanted her to babysit when they visited. Usually it was through the phone at home, but this time was different. She gave a hasty bow, feeling the locket dangle a little.

"I kinda have to take this." she said apologetically, going a few aisles away from them. She walked to the other end of it as her phone continued vibrating. She finally stopped and took the call, looking again at the caller ID.

LeBlanc.

Anny tentatively put her phone to her ear, "Hello?"

"Annylynn Rosette Fudo!" her aunt Sherry scolded. The middle name card; she was in trouble now, "We fly into New Domino as soon as we're able, only to find that you've gone on a search for your mother?"

"Aunt Sherry, please listen." She tried.

"Oh, Anny, I'm just worried about you." The French duelist told her, "We all are."

"It's true, Anny girl." her uncle Bruno said sympathetically, "We know how close you are to your father. And we know how hard you were taking it when we talked to the others."

"It surprised us that you weren't there with your father when we arrived." The French duelist commented.

"I'm sorry, but I had an…an idea." She said slowly, "I thought by finding my mother, I could wake my dad. And…And that's all I want Aunt Sherry, Uncle Bruno." She could feel her voice begin to waver and tears almost well in her eyes. She still couldn't handle talking about it without tearing up.

"Anny, girl, it's okay." The mechanic tried comforting over the phone, "You don't have to talk about it."

"If it helps any, Ann, your father is recovering well physically. The doctors put his arm and leg in casts today." The blonde commented.

"I-I guess that's good." She replied, managing to suppress the tears, "Has there been anything about my papa's status besides that?"

"Sadly no." the blue-haired man told her, "But we're still praying."

"Did you guys bring Josie with you?" Anny asked curiously.

"Of course they did!" a younger voice exclaimed, "Anny, why are you trying to find your mommy?" the voice of Josephina Cherie LeBlanc asked. She was the young and only daughter of the LeBlancs. She was only about seven. For a while, like Crow and Dove, they had thought they would never be able to have a child. She looked mostly like Sherry with Bruno's eyes.

"Hey, Josie." She greeted with a slight smile, "I was, uh, hoping to find her and that she would be able to wake my dad."

"That's why you went." The older blonde commented, "We really hope you find her."

"Yeah. And that we get to see you again soon." The blue-haired man added.

"I really want to see you guys again, too." The dark-haired girl admitted, "I'm a little busy right now. Can I call you guys back later?"

"Of course." They all replied, "Bye."

"Bye, Aunt Sherry, Uncle Bruno, Josie." She told them, hanging up.

She began to feel homesick. She missed everything! She let the tears she had suppressed fall. She heard the hot droplets splash against the linoleum flooring of the shop. She felt a hand come down on her shoulder and looked back at Kyle. His eyes were filled with concerned. The psychic hastily wiped her tears away.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently. When she didn't respond because she was too afraid her voice was going to give, he pulled her close carefully, so as not to jostle her shoulder.

"I want my dad…" Anny whispered into his shoulder, "I just want my papa…"

"I know." He comforted, "And I'm going to help you find your mother so you can get him back." He pulled her back a little, "Why don't we find those parts now?"

The dark-haired girl nodded numbly as she let her companion guide her around the store.

New Domino General—Yusei's Hospital Room

Luna sat quietly next to her adopted older brother. It was her turn to stay with him. Everyone had been taking three hour at a time turns since the dark-haired Signer's daughter had left. It had been more than difficult for the cobalt-eyed man since his wife had left him all those years ago. She had helped him with coping over losing the only woman he had loved. But the young Signer had simply told him that he still had his and Akiza's child.

Something their love had created.

From the day she had told him that, he had more life than after the burgundy-haired woman left, but still never quite the same or as happy. At least when he was alone. He usually was happy around his daughter. Though money was a bit tight since he was a single father, he had always tried to spoil Anny just a little bit. She had always been a bit of a daddy's girl, as well, not having a true mother growing up.

When the older Claw Signer had left, it had left a void in all of them. It wasn't as good since she left. Especially for the former Black Rose's daughter. Luna often wondered if Akiza regretted the decision to leave her daughter. It must have been difficult for her to leave New Domino. She had loved Yusei and their daughter very much. She had usually been the one to hold the dark-haired girl. The burgundy-haired psychic had loved that little baby so much; had always been protective.

The teal-haired woman took the cobalt-eyed Signer's hand gently, "I know Anny's doing everything to help you, Yusei." She whispered to him, "She misses you very much."

There was no change in his vital signs or physical signs. But at the mention of his daughter's name, his eyes twitched ever so slightly. That was it, though. She hoped that whatever was going on inside of his head was something good or at least peaceful.

"Do you think I'm…?" Akiza trailed off slightly.

"I don't know." Yusei told her, "We won't know until we get the results."

"But we've been disappointed before." She pointed out, looking down at the coffee table, awaiting for the results from the test she had just taken.

"Even if you're not, I won't stop loving you." He reassured, taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

The dark-haired Signer smiled at his wife as she nervously played with the locket he had given her for their first anniversary. She hadn't been feeling all that well in the past few weeks in the morning, but it usually faded by early afternoon. But this had happened a couple times before and it had ended up being the flu. Before, though, the feelings had only been a couple days before the illness became full fledged. This, however, was lasting longer than a flu should. They had decided to chance it and take the test.

What the psychic said was true. They had been disappointed before. When they thought it was this, it ended up being a flu a few days later. That had happened three times already. Even once when they were engaged. They truly loved each other. But Akiza seemed to be a bit prone to the flu. She got it almost once a year. He would take care of her though; wait on her hand and foot until she was better. She always appreciated it and returned the favor when he was ill.

Yusei gently placed a kiss on her jaw line, wrapping his other arm around her. She looked at him nervously out of the corners of her eyes. She secretly wanted this, but was afraid of being disappointed again. He grabbed her chin with his thumb and index finger, gently turning her head towards him. He pulled her close and then placed a gentle, yet passionate, kiss on her lips. He lied back on the couch, taking her with him as she began to run her fingers through his thick hair, and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Still afraid of being disappointed?" he asked as she rested her head on his chest after they broke apart.

"Yes." She responded, looking at him again. Akiza smiled at him, "But I know you'll help me through it."

"If it helps," he started, "I want this as much as you do."

"It helps a little." She replied.

"Do you think we have the results?" he asked, softly pushing a lock of her burgundy hair behind her ear. Her expression fell slightly, growing nervous. She reached over and grabbed the test off the coffee table. She gasped slightly.

"We have the results." She told him.

"And…?" he asked, curious as a small smile formed. She showed him.

"I'm pregnant." She said, "Looks like we won't just be Yusei and Akiza Fudo."

"Soon, we'll be mommy and daddy Fudo." He smiled at her, kissing her passionately again, "This is great! You're pregnant!"

She laughed, "Yeah." She agreed, "Everything we wanted and soon we'll have a miracle of our own to add to it."

"Yes." He said, "Parents! I can't believe how wonderful this is."

"I know." She smiled, setting the test aside to wrap her arms around his neck, "I love you, Yusei."

He smiled back, "I love you, too, Akiza."

Luna watched as her older brother figure's eyes twitched again slightly. The corners of his mouth did, too. Those were the first real movements the dark-haired Signer had made in the three weeks he'd been in the coma. It was good development. The green-gold-eyed woman smiled and made a mental note to tell Anny when she next called.

She hoped that whatever was going on in Yusei's mind would keep up. And maybe he'd be out of his coma sooner.

AnimeKiwi369: Yeah, I put that with Yusei and Akiza in there on purpose. I'm just a sap for sweetness within sour.

Anny: It was sweet. I enjoyed that last part. If only I knew.

AnimeKiwi369: You'll learn soon enough.

Anny: What'll be in the next chapter?

AnimeKiwi369: Honestly, I don't rememb-OH! I like that chapter.

Anny: I'll take that as a good thing. Should I take that as a good thing?

AnimeKiwi369: Let's just call it another sweet'n'sour.

Anny: How many reviews?

AnimeKiwi369: Well, I would definitely, like, maybe ten. I got around twenty last time; I would like to get into the 200s though, since I have 180-something. I don't remember the exact; it's been awhile.

Anny: So...? Review request?

AnimeKiwi369: Right. Please be kind and please review! I really appreciate them! I'll try to update when I can, 'kay? So please review! ;D
