Chapter 11: What's in a Name?

Ruby: Yay, I've come up with a name for Carly's Dragon!

Jack: Heh, this should be fun...

Carly: Will it strengthen our relationship if I gave him a cool name?

Jack: Uh... *blushes*

Everyon Else: o.O

Jack: Yeah, Carly... Just give it an interesting name.

Carly: Well, after much debate and talking with Ruby...*drumroll* I've decided that my dragon should be called Lancelot!

Jack: o.o Wow... that is a good name, actually...

Ruby: We knew you would like it Jack. ;D Now, on to the next chapter! Carly gets to do the disclaimer this time, since she'll be a part of this interesting chapter...

Carly: Yay, I'm loved ^^ Ruby doesn't own 5ds, she only owns her story and her OC. Lancelot is an idea that came from Turbo K1000, one of her loyal reviewers.

Yusei's POV

Yusei felt a bright light hit him as he woke up. He yawned, and stretched a little. Then he noticed Aki, peacefully sleeping on him. He smiled.

'Last night felt like a dream...' Yusei thought to himself. 'But I guess this is enough proof that it wasn't...and I'm glad.' Yusei couldn't help but put his hand through her burgandy hair again; it felt so smooth and silky. He saw Aki shift a bit in her sleep, mumbling something.

'Must be having a dream.' Yusei thought. 'I wonder what she's dreaming about.'

Suddenly, Aki's eyes opened, looking into his own. Those beautiful chocolate brown eyes hypnotized him.

She smiled. "Good morning Yusei."

Yusei couldn't help but smile back. "Good morning, Aki."

"Well, good morning to you!"

The two of them turned to see a grinning Ruby.

"Ruby!" Aki cried. "How long have you been there?"

"Oh, just a few minutes before you two lovebirds woke up..." She said, sounding a bit cheerful. "Its nice to see you two hitting it off so well!"

"Jeez, Ruby, you really know how to ruin the moment..." Yusei groaned. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at the fact of being interrupted.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Ruby said apologetically. "I just didn't want to have the other guys walk in on you."

"Oh, if that's the case..." Yusei said, realizing how bad the situation could have been. "Thanks, that would have been brutal."

"No problem. You should probably get going, Yusei." Ruby said, putting her hands together. "You know, to keep the other guys from getting any 'ideas'."

"Right..." He said, getting up as Aki got off of him. "If anyone asks, I got up early to take a shower." He ran off, grabbing his shirt as he headed out.

'Lets hope Ruby can keep a secret...' Yusei thought to himself, feeling a bit worried.

Aki's POV

After Yusei left, Ruby began to ask Aki questions.

"So, did you guys go all the way?" Ruby asked.

"No." Aki said almost immediately.

"Thats good! That means you two aren't going too fast!" Ruby said happily. "Did he kiss you?"

"No..."

"Aww! That sucks!" Ruby said, sounding disappointed. "But you two seem to be hitting it off pretty well, so thats a good thing!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aki pouted.

"Oh, you'll find out sooner or later." She said, grinning. Ruby got up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go wake up the other girls, they'll flip when they hear this!"

"Ah! Don't tell them!"Aki cried in embarassment.

"Don't worry. The girls can keep secrets!" She said, running off. Aki could feel her face grow hot.

"Great." Aki groaned. She got up and walked out, only to bump into Carly.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Carly said, sounding panicked. "I was in a hurry to get Jack his coffee before..."

"I know, Carly; its okay." Aki said, helping her up. She was a bit surprise that Carly hadn't spilled a single drop of coffee.

"Thanks, I really need to get this coffee to Jack. He should be waking up soon..." Carly ran past her, heading toward the main room just as she heard:

"Is my coffee here yet?" Jack growled.

"Right here, Jack!" She heard Carly cry.

"Thank God, I was afraid we'd get a repeat of yesterday..." Said Crow, sighing in relief.

Aki laughed to herself. The way things worked around here was just plain insane. As she walked into the girls room, she was greeted by a flurry of excited girls.

"Wow, Aki! I didn't think you'd end up with Yusei!" Ruka said, blushing a bit. "He's always been so quiet and to himself."

"That's very impressive, getting a man to love you in just two and a half days..." Sherry smirked. "It took me about a month to end up with Bruno..."

"And he's still shy around you." Ruby added. "For a guy with strength like he has, he's pretty modest about it!"

"Crow still makes passes at other girls you know." Sherry mocked.

"Yeah, I guess he does... but we do what we can to keep our boys in line, don't we?" Ruby giggled.

"No kidding."

Carly suddenly came in, panting heavily.

"Ruby, you said you wanted to tell me something?" She muttered, fixing her glasses.

"Oh, yeah... Aki and Yusei are a couple now!"

Carly smiled. "Congrats!"

Aki coughed."Well, its not offical, but..."

"Who cares? He clearly likes you!" Ruby cried, giving her a tight hug.

"Sure, whatever you say..." Aki rolled her eyes.

Ruby let her go, pouting. "You're so mean!" She turned to carly. "Hey Carly, what happened to Lancelot? I didn't see him yesterday."

Aki raised an eyebrow. "Lancelot?"

"Oh, that's my dragon." Carly said, smiling. "He doesn't... well... get along with a lot of people or other dragons, so he's always hiding somewhere."

"So, where'd he hide this time?" Ruby snickered.

"Oh, just in the forest area. Took me about two hours to find him." Carly muttered, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Jeez, for a dragon, he really knows how to stay out of sight." Sherry said.

Aki remembered something. "Hey Ruby..."

"Yeah?" she looked up at her.

"I remember you told me the girls had 'special' names, but you never told me about the boys."

Ruby smiled. "Oh, I guess I forgot."

Aki sat down on her bed, while the other girls got dressed. Ruby sat next to her.

"Now, the boys have some interesting names...especially Yusei."Ruby winked." Obivously, Jack is 'Flame King', and you probably already know why."

Aki remembered what had happened yesterday. "Yeah, of course."

"Crow is called 'Black Bullet' because he has deadly accuracy; He almost never misses." Ruby said, smirking. "Kiryu is 'All seeing eye' because of his ability to see through an enemy's weakness, and he basically has an eye on the back of his head."

Aki cringed. "He does?"

Ruby laughed. "Not literally though, that would be way too weird."

"Oh..." Aki said, embarassed.

"That's alright, I should have been more specific." She yawned a little. "Rua... well... " Ruby snickered a little. "His name is 'Monkey boy'."

All the girls burst into laughter. Aki raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry its just..." Ruby said, still laughing. "The way he got that name is because of his speed, and he tends to jump all over the place like a monkey. Its just too funny!"

"Oh, that makes sense." Aki muttered, still not getting the joke.

"Oh, well...you'll have to see for yourself." Ruby said, wiping some tears from her eyes."And finally, we come to Yusei..."

This was the name Aki was truly interested in. "So, what is it?"

Ruby smiled, then said very quietly; "'Shooting Star'"

Aki's eyes grew wide. "Shooting Star?"

"Yeah, its basically because of a certain ability he has... its very hard to describe."

"Tell me!" Aki pleaded.

"Um... Sorry Aki..." Ruby said, shaking her head. "I can't tell you, or it'd ruin the surprise."

"What surprise?"

"Well, when we go on our first mission together, you'll get a chance to see it yourself." Ruby smiled. "Yusei may not seem like it at first, but he's the most powerful of this division. mayb even stronger than anyone else in the Guild..."

"Except his father." Ruka said loudly.

"Yeh, except him. Now make sure not to rub that in his face too much alright?" Ruby said, shaking her head again. "We should probably get dressed, Aki. Today is your first day of training."

Aki nodded, and went to get her clothes.

'This should be an interesting day...' She thought.

Ruby: Sorry this came out so late, I kept getting distracted. I only finished two chapters...

Aki: Two out of three isn't so bad...

Ruby: I guess you're right... *sighs*

Yusei: Don't beat yourself up about it.

Ruby: I won't... I'm really tired, I'm going to bed... I'll see if I can go see the Yugioh movie tomorrow... If my dad will take me... Ruka, could you do the review request while I go to sleep?

Ruka: Sure! Give Ruby nice reviews and ideas. Flame her and you'll get Atlas Punched to oblivion.
