So the good news is now that school is over with (it's been that way for a couple weeks......) I can finally get back to writing and sorting out my ideas for my 5D's stories.......as far as writing, I'm considering having the chapter with the wedding be the last chapter of this story, but I might do a sequel. I thought about it a little bit, but I'm not sure how many stories I have to update first.

Thanks for reviewing!
Again, don't own.....
Chapter 11
It was now about mid July, but things around the beach house were still busy for Luna and Suzuki. Luna was still working on planning the wedding and Suzuki was still putting the finishing touches on the bachelorette party. Neither one of them had the time to spend with their boyfriends. Though they understood their commitment to helping Yusei and Akiza, the fact made the two fifteen year old girls feel bad.
"How's the wedding plans coming?" Suzuki asked, groaning at how tired she was.
"Well, so far, I've made arrangements with the caterer, the tailor, Mitch and Tabias for entertainment set up, and the florist. The only people who haven't called is the actual wedding set up. I've ordered the all the tables, silverware, dining ware, and the centerpieces but they haven't called me back." Luna explained, sighing.
"Aww, is my little Luna tired?" Dexter asked, rubbing her shoulders.
"Yeah." Luna mumbled, as Dexter sat next to her on the couch.
"How's everything coming?" Leo asked, pulling Suzuki into a gentle hold.
"I'm almost done with the arrangements for the bachelorette party. I just have to go to the party store and pick everything up when they call. I have to pick up the food the day before." Suzuki told him, almost falling asleep in his arms.
"You guys are really doing a nice thing for Akiza and Yusei." Dexter said, not hearing a response from them. Apparently the had fallen asleep from being too tired.
"Don't worry, we got this." Yusei said, as him and Jack picked up both the teenage girls and carried them to bed.
"Jack, can you tuck me in and give me Monkey?" Suzuki asked, drowsily.
"Sure thing, kiddo." Jack told her, smiling. He knew that when she was a toddler, Suzuki's favorite stuffed animal was her stuffed animal cow, who she happened to name Monkey. He found it weird, but he knew that when she was little she never went to bed without him.
Both men put the teenage girls in their beds and tucked them in for the night.
"They worked themselves too hard." Yusei commented, shutting the door.
"Yeah, when we were young, we were flirting with girls and such." Jack said, as him and his best friend started walking down the hall.
"Hey, guys, we're home." Carly said, shutting the patio door after Akiza walked in.
"Ooh, they brought back groceries." Jack muttered, getting excited.
"I never knew you loved food so much." Yusei replied, sighing.
"Hey, there's no junk food in here." Jack pointed out, taking groceries out the bags.
"Oh we got junk food, I just hid it." Carly told him, causing him to gasp.
"Why did you do that?" Jack asked, still gapping at her.
"You need to stop eating junk food, it's not good for you. Have a carrot." Carly said, handing him a small baby carrot.
"Gross. I don't want vegetables." Jack grimaced, throwing the baby carrot in the trash.
"Looks like Jacky is throwing a tantrum." Yusei mocked, trying not to laugh at Jack.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum!" Jack shouted, making Yusei laugh.
"Well, Jack, I care a lot about your health and I don't want you to have high blood pressure when you're thirty." Carly told him, sadly.
"Okay, fine, I'll try." Jack sighed, giving into his girlfriend's sadness.
"Anyway, we tucked Luna and Suzuki in bed a couple minutes ago." Yusei said, resting his chin on Akiza's shoulder.
"They really need that sleep, they were up all night for the past two days." Akiza muttered, kissing his cheek.
"We need to find them something to do, so they can get a break. The wedding isn't even until October and it's still July." Carly added, as Jack angrily chomped on a carrot.
"We need to send them somewhere with no boys." Yusei suggested, getting Akiza's 'just shut up' look.
"Yusei, honey, there's gonna be boys around whether you like it or not." Akiza told him, patting his back.
"Maybe we can all spend a day at the beach together. We've been couped up in the house all the time, despite the fact that just us four have been clubbing non-stop." Carly mentioned.
"But there's boys at the beach," Yusei whined, as Akiza punched him in the arm, "Ow."
"Anyway, I think it's a great idea, Carly." Akiza smiled, cheerfully, "We can all go tomorrow."
"You just love torturing me, don't you?" Yusei asked, sighing.
"Oh, relax. Luna will be spending the day with Dexter, and Leo will be spending the day with Suzuki. Aren't you being a little too overprotective?" Akiza questioned, sitting on his lap.
"No, I'm just making sure they don't get into mischief." Yusei said, letting his eyes twitch.
"You're lying." Akiza replied, stroking his hair.
"No I'm not....what makes you say that?" Yusei asked, letting his eyes twitch even more.
"Yusei, when you lie your eyes start twitching." Akiza told him, giggling at his attempt to cover himself up.
"Whatever. I'm gonna take a nap." Yusei muttered, heading upstairs.
That afternoon, Akiza spent her time in the kitchen making a huge picnic basket full of food for tomorrow's day at the beach. This was really her first time making a huge mass of food for people. Yeah, Yusei, the Twins, and Suzuki had tasted her cooking already, which they agreed was great, she was worried that she might lose her temper if Jack commented her cooking with his already stuck up attitude.
Whatever. If it's not fancy shmansy like he's used to then he can suck it, She thought, making subs for everyone.
"Man, I don't like you right now. All that food smells good from over here." Yusei told her, spending his time sorting out wedding invites on the kitchen table.
"I'm sorry, but anyway, we need to sort out who we're gonna invite." Akiza replied, wrapping another sub in plastic wrap.
"You already did yours, didn't you?" Yusei asked, looking up at her.
"Well, kinda. I was a little hesistant because well.....you know." Akiza muttered, not wanting to get into the situation. She was really worried about inviting so many people from her family because she didn't want Yusei to feel bad. She already knew the scenario about how Yusei's parents had passed away when he was a baby, and she didn't want to make him look bad at the wedding by inviting billions of people from her family while he had hardly anyone.
"See, that's why I love you, because you always think of everyone else before yourself. Trust me, I'll be fine with the people I invite." Yusei commented, pulling his fiance into a hug.
"It's just it makes me feel so sad because of what happened with you. I really don't know how you deal with all this." Akiza responded, resting her head on his chest.
"I've had to deal with it my whole life. I'm already used to growing up without my biological parents. I know if they were here, they would really be happy to meet you and for you to be their daughter-in-law." Yusei explained, pecking her lips.
"If you're sure, then okay, but you can always talk to me about what's bugging you." Akiza said, smiling, "So, you really want to hear my invite list?"
"Sure. It'll help the time pass when I'm sorting through these invitations. I have to give the extras to Luna so she can send them back and get some money." Yusei replied, happily.
"Well, I'm inviting Mama and Papa, of course," Akiza started, still fixing the food while she went through her mental list.
"Okay, obviously." Yusei murmurred.
"Then I'm inviting my cousins, Sam, Katrina.....ummmm, my cousin Demi, Kylie, Kayseigh, Michael, Jake, and Garrett, my best friends Cedric and Marx......my grandparents might come, and my other good friends Tori and Stella, and pretty much my whole family which is huge." Akiza listed, biting her lip.
"Yeah, that's a lot of effin people." Yusei said, as if what she said were an understatement.
"I'd like to hear your list......," Akiza mumbled, shyly.
"Well, obvious Ass-less is gonna be there. Martha might come because she's the only person I know who acts civil and she's basically like my mother. Pretty much that's it." Yusei told her, plainly. After a few seconds, a sleepy Luna walks in the kitchen.
"Hey, Lulu, you okay?" Akiza asked, as Luna opened the refridgerator and grabbed a soda.
"No, I feel like someone ran me over with a Duel Runner eight hundred times and threw me down a steep cliff." Luna muttered, putting her phone on the counter, "Do me a favor and crush it with a hammer."
As she headed back upstairs, Akiza and Yusei shared the same look. They were both thinking that Luna and Suzuki really needed this day at the beach super bad. Luna's description of how she felt wasn't really to that extent, but it was along the lines of it to the both of them.
"The poor thing, she's done so much for us and doesn't ask for anything in return." Akiza mentioned, putting Luna's phone in the drawers with the knives.
"Yeah, we need to think of something we can do for her after the wedding as a thank you gift." Yusei agreed, setting aside the extra invitations, "Maybe we can get her a dog."
"Eh, I don't know, we already have Sophie in the house and getting another dog wouldn't probably be a good idea. I was thinking since she's turning sixteen next May, we'd throw her a sweet sixteen party." Akiza suggested, shrugging.
"Oh, hell no! A house full of horny teenagers, doing anything from making out to having sex upstairs. I'll get arrested just from killing one of them." Yusei replied, shaking his head no.
"Come on, Yusei, how bad could it be?" Akiza asked, causing Yusei to imagine the worst.
"Don't say things like that, it makes me think the worst. I can't imagine Luna doing the do with Dexter. I'd rip his head off." Yusei said, shuddering at the thoughts going through his head.
"Okay, back to the subject of our wedding, I decided that after due consideration Carly's going to be my maid of honor." Akiza said, steering the conversation back in the other direction.
"I guess since no other dude is my best friend, I'll let Jack be the best man. He's been rubbing it in Leo's face all day." Yusei replied, watching Leo and Jack come downstairs.
"Haha! I'm the best man! HA!" Jack taunted, as Leo tried to keep speed walking away from him.
"Will you leave me alone?" Leo asked, shoving Jack away from him.
"Dude, I wouldn't have let you be the best man if you were going to gloat about it." Yusei told Jack, rolling his eyes.
"I can't help it. It's just making me feel really great right now." Jack admitted, grinning with satisfaction.
"Just because it makes you feel better, doesn't mean you have to hurt Leo's feelings." Carly told him, flipping through a issue of Cosmo.
"Oh, yeah, Carly did you want to be my maid of honor?" Akiza asked, happily.
"I'd love to, Akiza, thank you. Now I can be with the best man." Carly replied, as Jack pulled her into a embrace.
"Ewww, don't make me barf now." Yusei said, as Jack glared at him.
"You know, if I were totally immature, I would do it. Right here, in front of you, just to make you mad." Jack muttered, as him and Carly sat down on the couch.
"But you're not, and that makes me happy." Carly whispered, pecking his cheek.
"I'm going upstairs." Yusei sighed, rushing upstairs before Carly and Jack started making out.
"You gonna go after him?" Jack questioned, looking at Akiza.
"No, I find other people making out entertaining......of course I'm going upstairs, a-hole," Akiza told him, rolling her eyes, "Later, Carly."
"Why is she so nice to you and not me?" Jack asked, turning his gaze to his girlfriend.
"She's nice to me because I'm nice to everyone else." Carly said, lying on him.
"I can be nice. I'm nice to you." Jack pointed out, shrugging.
"Well, that's because we love each other. I'm talking about being nice as in friendly, which is something you're not good at." Carly told him, rubbing his back.
"I can work on it. I'm just not used to it." Jack admitted, sincerely.
"It's okay, babe, it just takes time. I still love you." Carly replied, as their lips met momentarily.
"Love you too." Jack whispered, stroking her hair.
The next day, everyone spent part of the morning getting ready for their day at the beach. The intention was for everyone to get out of the house and for Luna and Suzuki to get a break from planning anything.
"I'm releaved to have nothing to do today. I can lie on the beach in my bikini and get a tan." Luna said, putting on her black strapless dress over her lime green bikini.
"Dude, I'm so used to adding flirting with cute guys to your list, and now we can't anymore, because we're both in love with our bf's." Suzuki said, putting on her orange halter dress over her yellow halter bikini.
"Hey, how are you two doing?" Akiza asked, popping her head in.
"Wait, come back. You're looking cute. I love how you put the navy blue and white strapless over the white bikini. Yusei must be getting lucky tonight." Suzuki commented, smirking at Akiza.
"Just because Akiza's outfit looks cute and adorable on her, does not imply that she and Yusei are getting it on after we come home." Luna told her best friend, waggling her eyebrows.
"Come on, so we can go." Akiza giggled, as the girls headed downstairs.
"I love your black and white polka dot bikini, Carly." Luna complimented, as they all walked downstairs together.
"Thanks, I like your hobo bag." Carly said, feeling the soft material of Luna's blue bandana patterned bag.
"Whoa, hold on a minute!" Yusei exclaimed, stopping Luna and Suzuki at the front door, "What's.....what's this action going on right here?"
"It's called a bikini." Luna told him, sliding her sunglasses on.
"'It's called a bikini', I don't give a damn what's it called." Yusei mocked, ignoring what Luna said.
"Don't think you're off the hook either." Jack said, glaring at Suzuki.
"Do we really have to start this today? Remember, this our day of rest compliments of Carly." Suzuki told him, raising a brow.
"I'm not in this. I was just trying to be nice, and I did my part." Carly mumbled, walking out the front door with Akiza.
"We'll be outside with Dexter and Leo when you guys are done fighting, again." Akiza said, as she and Carly went to put their stuff in the trunk of the SUV.
"Now, please, can you put your parenting aside for today and let us have some peace?" Luna asked, sweetly.
Before they answered, Yusei and Jack gave each other the same look. They were both hesistant, but knowing their girlfriend and fiance there's only one answer.
"Fine, we'll be leniant for today." Yusei said, regretting his answer.
"Thank you." Luna replied, as the two girls headed outside with everyone else.
"I hope I don't have a girl when I'm married." Jack muttered, while they helped the girls pack up the truck.
Once everything was packed and secured in the back, Yusei started the car and pulled out the driveway.
"I can't wait to get to the beach, I really need a tan." Luna said, looking out the window.
"Can't you get skin cancer from that?" Carly asked, resting her legs on Jack's lap.
"Not if you put on sunscreen." Suzuki replied, messing with her hair.
"Why is it that chicks always have to be obsessed with getting a tan. It already happens when you're out there too long." Leo pointed out, not understanding the female concept.
"You can't just get a tan just by being out in the sun because your tan will be uneven. For us girls, we make sure we have a tan everywhere." Luna said, realizing she might have implied something else.
"What do you mean by tan everywhere?" Yusei asked, looking at her in the rear view mirror.
"It's not like that, Yusei. I meant that for girls we don't want to have tan lines everywhere. It just doesn't look right." Luna told him, making him roll his eyes.
"That's my point. Chicks focus too much on the perfect tan." Leo said, sighing.
"Yay! We're here," Carly chirped, excitedly, "I brought my surf board."
"That's nice, but too bad you're gonna get your butt kicked." Jack gloated, making Carly glare at him.
"Oh, really? You may be good at dueling, but I'm positive this is one thing you don't know squat about." Carly responded, grabbing her surfboard from the top of the SUV.
"This will be fun to see. Jack getting his ass kicked at something." Suzuki said, grabbing her bag.
"I have to agree on that." Yusei added, laughing at the thought of Jack getting pissed about getting beat at surfing, "Ooh, honey to the left."
"What?" Akiza asked, making Yusei shut up.
"Oh, I was just commenting on this honey bun this dude had.....," Yusei lied, trying to be casual.
"Mmmmhhmmm," Akiza mumbled, walking away.
"Okay, we have to find the perfect spot." Luna said, as she and Suzuki put their beach umbrella up.
"We can check out our hot bf's trying to surf too." Suzuki replied, setting up her beach chair.
While the two girls were relaxing and chatting, Carly was sitting on the edge of the ocean waxing her board. For Jack, it was the first time he noticed how appealing her figure was too him since she was wearing a bikini.
"Ready to get crushed?" Jack asked, sticking his surfboard in the sand.
"I'd like to see you try and crush me at my own game." Carly laughed, running out to the ocean with her board.
"Finally, we get to see the King get crushed by his girlfriend at surfing." Dexter shouted, as him and Leo started watching.
After a few minutes, the couple managed to maintain their balance, but Jack's taunting of course, came back to bite him in the ass. He lost his balance from a huge tide, and Carly managed to get on top of the wave.
"Dude, that's what I call a surfer chick." Leo said, clapping for Carly.
"I told you, I don't play around." Carly replied, as Jack started walking out of the water.
"Eh, you just got lucky." Jack muttered, causing Carly to smile.
"Is my little Jacky jealous because there's something his girlfriend is better at than him?" Carly questioned, batting her eyelashes at him.
"No." Jack mumbled, poking his lip out from irritation.
As the drama about surfing was going on between Carly and Jack, Luna and Suzuki continued to tan and talk amongst themselves.
"Uggghhh, I'm getting tan lines." Luna complained, sighing.
"I dare you to take your bikini top off." Suzuki said, watching Luna's eyes widen.
"Are you crazy!? Yusei will kill me if he catches me!" Luna exclaimed, looking over at Akiza and Yusei enjoying the scenery.
"Well, don't get caught or put a towel over you." Suzuki suggested, thinking about what she said, "Oh never mind, using the towel won't get rid of your tan lines."
"Whatever, Yusei can suck it." Luna said, untying her bikini top and quickly lying on her beach chair, "This hurts my boobs."
"You're the one who wants a tan. Good thing I took my top off when Jack was surfing." Suzuki told her, lying back on her chair.
On the other side of where the two girls were, Akiza and Yusei were walking along the edge of the coast, just talking with each other.
"It's really beautiful out here, even though it's killer hot out." Akiza said, as Yusei laughed.
"Yeah, that's why I'm happy I don't live here." Yusei replied, looking over in Luna and Suzuki's direction, "Oh, I think I'm going to kill her."
"What? What's wrong?" Akiza asked, not understanding his comment.
"Look over there." Yusei told her, watching Akiza's mouth drop.
"Oh my God! Luna!" Akiza exclaimed, as Yusei walked over there.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Yusei asked, covering Luna up, "Why the hell would you take your fucking top off? Really, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Yusei, it wasn't her fault, I dared her to. Don't blame her, it's in Luna's nature to give into a little bit of peer pressure." Suzuki said, taking the blame for her friend.
Just before Yusei said anything, he just glared at the two of them, "I'll be watching you two."
"I think we should all eat now." Akiza suggested, just as everyone was coming back.
"Yes, food." Jack said, purposely sitting on Suzuki.
"Ow, get off of me fatness." Suzuki squealed, pushing him off her.
"I'm not fat, it's pure muscle baby." Jack told her, matter-of-factly, "Get it right."
"So, Akiza, I saw this blonde chick checking out Yusei." Suzuki said, making Akiza's cheerful expression turn evil.
"Where is that bitch!? I'll kill her!" Akiza growled, as Yusei grabbed her arm.
"No one was checking me out." Yusei muttered, glaring at Suzuki.
"How would you know? You're just busy trying to look cute." Luna mentioned, chewing on a cheese cube.
"No, sorry, I wouldn't want to take your job." Yusei responded, making Luna roll her eyes.
"These subs are really good, Akiza. I didn't know you could cook." Carly commented, chewing her sandwich.
"Oh my God, you should come over when she makes Thai food. It's pure heaven. I don't even go to the Thai restaurant anymore." Suzuki told her, smiling.
"You mean that one on seventeenth street?" Jack asked, raising a brow.
"Yeah, the one where the guy who works the register smells like clams." Suzuki added, sipping her lemonade juice box.
"I actually think that her chocolate chip pancakes are really good." Yusei said, making Luna sigh.
"You love everyone's chocolate chip pancakes." Luna told him, making Akiza laugh.
"That's not true, I just love everyone's fried chicken." Yusei replied, plainly.
"Anyway, off the subject of food, I can't believe summer is almost over," Leo mentioned, sighing.
"He's never really the school type, even though he has decent grades." Luna told Yusei, quietly, "But yeah, I'm kind of bummed too that summer's coming to an end."
"Well, with every ending is a new beginning, so it's not all gonna be sad and gloomy." Carly responded, looking out at the sunset, "So since it's getting late, I want to get another Jack butt kicking in before we all leave."
"Is that a challenge?" Jack questioned, getting up from his spot.
"Jack honey, what's the point of challenging you when I already beat you twice?" Carly asked, grabbing her surf board.
"Ouch, burn." Leo commented, making Jack glare at him.
*****************************************
As the sun began to set, everyone else besides Akiza and Yusei spent a little more time together while the others were packing the car up.
"Come on, just walk in the ocean." Yusei said, waiting while the oceans currents rocked against his back.
"I'm scared! There's sharks in there." Akiza whined, feeling scared out of her mind.
"If there's a shark, I'll protect you from it." Yusei told her, grabbing her hands gently.
"Okay." Akiza mumbled, stepping a few feet in the water, OMG! There's gonna be freaking sharks trying to eat us! Waah!
"See, that wasn't so bad." Yusei muttered, as he splashed water in her face, "I'm sorry I couldn't help it."
"Oh, well, I can't help but do this." Akiza replied, pushing him in the water.
"Hey! That was a cheap shot!" Yusei yelled, as she tried to run away from him. He gently tackled her onto the soft sand.
"Stop it! You're tickling me!" Akiza laughed, rolling him over on the sand.
For a moment, the two didn't say anything. They just took in each other's prescence. She stared into his gorgeous blue eyes that matched the ocean behind them. He stared into her light brown eyes. At that very moment, they kissed each other. All he did was just hold her by her bare waist and kissed her.
"Okay, really, do they absolutely have to make out on the beach? Really?" Luna questioned, shaking her head.
"Oh, come on, Luna, it's so cute. Plus, the sunset makes it even better." Carly told her, rubbing Luna's head.
"But like I said before, it's a crime against nature if I do it, but if they do it then there's no problem." Luna said, getting into the SUV, "Hey, spit-sharers, it's time to go!"
"Luna!" Suzuki exclaimed, as they started laughing.
A few seconds later, Yusei responded to Luna's comment and carried Akiza back to the truck.
"We're not spit-sharers! We don't tongue kiss......well, we do, just not when you're around." Yusei pointed out.
"Okay, don't need to know that." Luna mumurred, shivering.
"Yeah, we don't really want to hear that." Jack added, closing the trunk.
"No, Jack, I said that specifically to bother you." Yusei told him, putting Akiza down.
"Shot gun." Akiza mumbled, running to the passenger seat.
"Let's just go home." Leo said, just as Yusei turned the ignition.
The following day, Akiza went to mail off the invites to the wedding and Suzuki went along to mail off the invites for the bachelorette party. Luna woke up about a half hour after the other two girls came back to check to see if she got any feedback in her e-mail.
"Well, the photographer got back to me early this morning on my phone, when I wasn't awake and I finalized set up." Luna told Akiza, while she flipped through T.V. channels.
"Okay. What are you two making?" Akiza asked, looking in the kitchen at Carly and Jack cooking.
"Egg rolls, sushi, and greek salad." Carly replied, wrapping a raw egg roll.
"Wow, that's an assortment of international food." Akiza giggled, going back to the T.V.
"Who knew that Jack could cook?" Suzuki asked, as she and Luna watched him.
"I can cook. So what if I burn the turkey at one Thanksgiving?" Jack inquired, blushing a little bit.
"Trust me, you wouldn't have want to have been there. The turkey nearly crumbled to pieces." Suzuki told Luna, as the two girls giggled.
"Well, he's actually doing a pretty decent job right now making the egg rolls." Carly mentioned, making the two girls look at her as if she weren't serious.
"Huh?" Luna and Suzuki mumbled, raising their eyebrows.
"Yeah. I mean, I know I had my doubts too but he proved me wrong." Carly admitted, going back to rolling egg rolls.
"Wow, that must be a miracle." Suzuki mumbled, taking one of the done egg rolls, "Mmm, tasty."
"That sounds so wrong." Luna laughed, almost making Suzuki spit pieces of her egg roll out.
"How does that sound wrong?" Jack asked, as Carly got up from her chair.
"It has to do with giving ehemmm." Carly whispered, making Jack start freaking out.
"Awww, you sick little perverts....awww that's disgusting!" Jack shouted, feeling like he was going to throw up, "I can't even look at these egg rolls anymore. You two just ruined lunch for me!"
"Jack, baby, it's not that serious." Carly said, trying to calm him down, "You can still eat the salad."
"Yeah, Jack, you can have some tossed salad!" Yusei laughed, joining in on the joke fest with Luna and Suzuki.
"I hate you all!" Jack shouted, dramatically, kissing Carly on the cheek, "Except you, I love you."
"Love you too." Carly replied, as he ran up the stairs, "You guys should be a little more nicer to him."
"Oh, he'll be fine. We cracked dirty jokes about him back in the Satellite." Yusei told him, sitting next to his fiance on the couch, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, just thinking about us. It's amazing to me to remember how far we've come and what we've been through together." Akiza smiled, fidgeting with her fingernails.
"I know, it feels like just yesterday we met at the Fortune Cup." Yusei agreed, as she lied her head on his chest.
"I remember I used to be so mean back then. I mean, yeah I'm still have a little bit of mean left in me, but then it was so extreme." Akiza said, trying to avoid further into her past.
"Right now, we need to focus on the future, like getting a degree, getting a job, buying a house. All the other essentials will come in time." Yusei explained, holding her.
"About the future, I really want to have a baby." Akiza responded, causing Yusei and everyone else to become silent. After a couple moments of silence, Akiza responded to his silence, "It's okay, if you don't want children, it was just a thought."
"Oh no, it's not that, I just thought that you didn't want children. That's why I never brought it up." Yusei muttered, reassuring her.
"Well, I do, really bad. I want to be a mom." Akiza told him, cupping his cheek.
"Awww, that's so cute." Suzuki commented, smiling, "Guys, lunch is ready."
"YAY! LUNCH!" Leo shouted, running in from the pool.
"Is there ever a time where your bro doesn't get excited over food?" Dexter asked, hugging Luna.
"No, he loves food just as much as I love you." Luna told him, kissing him.
"Hey! Hey! No kissing before a meal!" Yusei yelled, narrowing his eyes at Dexter.
"Okay, really, why do you have to ruin my moment?" Luna asked, still holding Dexter.
"Yeah, why do you ruin her moments? We have ours all the time." Akiza added, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Because we're grown and she's fifteen." Yusei answered, stubbornly.
"Okay, but we're still young and we kiss all the time." Akiza said, as she got up from the couch.
"Well, when she turns.....thirty she can start kissing." Yusei replied, nodding his head.
"Thirty!? Ummm, how about we leave it at now since I'm already doing it." Luna added, sitting down next to Dexter.
"We'll have this discussion later, right now, I'm hungry." Yusei responded, ending the conversation.
Later on that evening, Akiza and Yusei were relaxing in the living room watching Wedding Crashers, until Akiza heard the doorbell.
"I got it." Akiza said, fluttering to the door. At first when she looked through the peep hole, it was someone blonde girl, but she didn't see her face. Once she opened the door, all Yusei heard was screaming.
"Akiza what's....wrong?" Yusei asked, watching Akiza hug the woman at the door.
"Oh my God, Sammie, I missed you." Akiza chirped, letting go of the blonde. She stood the same height as Akiza, curly blonde hair, ice blue eyes, and the same exact figure.
"I missed you too." The blonde replied, smiling.
"Oh, Yusei, this is my cousin, Sam. Sam, this is my fiance, Yusei Fudo." Akiza introduced, closing the door behind her.
"Wow, 'Kiza, I can see why you married him, he's hot." Sam said, shaking Yusei's hand.
"Thanks, I think." Yusei replied, shaking in return.
"Hey, Akiza....oh, who's your friend?" Luna asked, as she and Dexter came downstairs.
"This is my cousin Sam. Sam, this is Luna and her boyfriend, Dexter." Akiza added, as Sam waved.
"Nice to meet you." Luna said, politely.
"Same here." Dexter added, lacing his fingers with Luna's.
"Whoa, who's the hot honey?" Leo asked, as Suzuki hit him in the arm, "Sorry."
"Yeah, who is she?" Carly questioned, as she and Jack came from upstairs.
"Again, Sam, this is Luna's twin brother, Leo and his girlfriend, Suzuki. This is Suzuki's cousin, Jack Atlas, and his girlfriend, Carly." Akiza introduced, happily, "Guys, this is my cousin, Sam."
"Nice to meet you all. " Sam repeated, waving again, "My baby sister is a huge Jack Atlas fan. She has the shirts, the posters, and recently she decorated her room with a Jack Atlas theme."
"Nice to know I still have fans left." Jack said, glaring at Yusei.
"It's not my fault. I'm just better than you." Yusei told him, shrugging.
"Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you." Carly said, still holding her boyfriend's hand.
"Well, we're going to get back to what we were doing. I was just about to ask, Yusei, could you drop Dexter and I off at the movies?" Luna asked, sweetly.
"When hell freezes over, yeah." Yusei grinned, making Akiza glare at him, "Fine. Come on."
"Have fun." Suzuki told Luna, waving good-bye.
****************************************************
Thirty minutes later, Akiza and Sam spent their time hanging out and talking with each other, and just doing things that normal girls would.
"So how did you and Yusei meet?" Sam asked, while the two of them painted their toes.
"Well, it started two years ago, you know when I was in the Fortune Cup, that's when I first saw him. After that, I eventually learned that this dude I used to be with only wanted to use me for my powers, so I eventually left him. That's when we started dating. He lived with Luna and the others after the Fortune Cup, so they took me in. To make a long story short, we got to know each other and then we confessed our feelings and ever since we've been dating." Akiza explained, not wanting to get into a long story.
"Well, even from that little blurb, it sounds romantic." Sam told her, putting the cap back on her lime green nail polish, "I've never seen you so happy before."
"It's Yusei. He just makes me feel so special. He never thought of me as a freak like everyone else did. He made me feel like a normal human being and he loves me for who I am." Akiza replied, smiling, "I just love him so much."
"I know you do, I can tell by the way you look at him." Sam said, chewing on a piece of pizza.
"It's getting late, you should stay the night. I'm sure Luna wouldn't mind." Akiza mentioned, noticing the time on the clock.
Not that they noticed, but Yusei was in the foyer of the beach house listening to the two girls' conversation.
I'll always love you, Akiza, Yusei thought, sneaking upstairs quietly.
After Sam had departed from the house, Akiza decided to take a trip out to the mall. Once she got out to the black SUV, she found a rose underneath the left windshiled wiper. There was also a little note wrapped around the stem.
Let's have dinner tonight. Just the two of us.
Yusei
Okay, now I have a real reason to go to the mall! Akiza thought, hurriedly pulling out of the driveway. While she was driving, she thought more about the wedding that was in less than 3 months. She knew there was a lot to do in the next two months. The first thing on the agenda, come August was getting her dress, which is the most important piece of the wedding, and to decide on food, which she feared because Jack was a food addict and might have a field day.
I just can't wait until we're married, Akiza thought, pulling into the parking lot of the mall.
"H....how did we get to the mall?" A feminine voice asked, shocking Akiza.
"OH MY GOD! Luna, what are you doing in here!?" Akiza questioned, nearly having a heart attack.
"Well, on the ride back from the movies, Dexter and I were so tired that we might have fallen asleep in here." Luna grumbled, yawning.
"It looks like Yusei locked us in here." Dexter mumbled, sitting up.
"We'll talk about this later, but for right now, I'm going shopping." Akiza told them, turning the car off.
"Can we come with you?" Luna asked, excitedly.
"Sure, since I can't leave you two alone." Akiza replied, as they all walked into the mall together.
"Ooh, I have my credit card, yay!" Luna chirped, zipping her purse up, "Wait, what are you going shopping for?"
"That's none of your business." Akiza responded, winking at Luna. Luna knew that she did that whenever a guy was around. In this case, it was Dexter.
"Oh, Dexter, honey, could you leave Akiza and I alone for a bit? She wants to talk to me." Luna told him, sweetly.
"Sure. I'll be in American Eagle." Dexter said, as they pecked each others lips before separating.
"You know if Yusei were here, he'd kill Dexter by now." Akiza added, smiling.
"Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Anyhow, what are you shopping for?" Luna questioned, grinning at Akiza.
"Yusei's taking me out later." Akiza muttered, trying not to act super girly and excited.
"Aww, how super cute. Now he doesn't have to bother Dexter and I tonight. He's making me dinner." Luna told her, smiling.
"Well, I'm going to Forever 21 to find some dresses." Akiza said, walking in the small boutique.
"You know you want more than one dress. Everyone has that temptation when they walk in this store." Luna responded, spotting the accessories.
While Akiza was looking through the rack with the dresses, she thought more about where exactly Yusei was taking her. There was no place particular that he mentioned on the little note, it just said that they were having dinner. Not realizing what she was doing, Akiza realized that she picked up about ten dresses.
"I thought I hit the motherload. How many did you find?" Luna asked, looking at Akiza's hands full of dresses.
"Ten. You?" Akiza questioned, looking down.
"Oh, I found fifteen, but who's counting? Ooh, more jewelry." Luna chirped, rushing to the other side of the store.
She sure knows how to shop, Akiza thought looking at the other clothes on the racks and tables. She came across these tank tops that said 'I love my boyfriend'. Thinking that she might as well get them while she was staring at them, she picked up every color they were in.
"Oh, you're done?" Luna asked, seeming to have already payed at the register.
"Yup. Where's Dexter?" Akiza questioned, handing the woman her credit card.
"Oh, he's coming. He just texted me." Luna said, as Akiza grabbed her bags.
"Let's go." Akiza mumbled, as they walked out the store.
***************************************
After the short shopping trip, Luna and Dexter spent the afternoon cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. As Yusei came out the kitchen, he smacked Dexter upside his head.
"Separate." Yusei muttered, going upstairs. Ignoring his comment, Luna cuddled closer to Dexter once he was long gone.
"Hey, umm, I wanted to talk to you." Luna said, turning the T.V. off, "I just wanted to talk to you about the last year and a half. You know, I'm really shocked at how it's been almost two years since we've been together and I really want you to know that I love you so much. You're like all I could ever ask for."
Dexter looked touch at Luna's confession, before he took her hands and said, "I love you too, Luna. You mean the world to me and I don't think there's any other girl in the world who's as good as you are."
For a few moments, they started making out peacefully, enjoying each others love. A few seconds later, Yusei came downstairs.
"Why is it that I always walk in on you two making out?" Yusei questioned, passing by.
"Why is you're always interrupting?" Luna asked, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, I don't know, to make sure he's not always chomping on your face." Yusei replied, glaring at Dexter, "I'm still watching you, boy."
"Don't worry about him." Luna told Dexter, continuing to make out with him once her overprotective friend was long gone.
Later on that evening, Akiza spent the last two hours getting ready to go out with Yusei. She decided to wear this black and grey dandelion splattered dress that she recently bought. Her was in neat spiral curls and she decided not to wear much makeup.
"Wow, you look spicy." Carly commented, smiling.
"Yusei's taking me out. Are you sure I look okay?" Akiza asked, feeling nervous.
"You look great." Carly told her, shutting the door to her and Jack's room.
I hope you are right, Akiza thought, trying to calm herself down.
"Hey.....whoa! I mean, wow.....," Yusei stammered, appearing in the doorway of their room. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and ripped up jeans.
OH MY GOD, I HAVE THE HOTTEST FIANCE EVER! Akiza thought, blushing.
"Sorry, I'm just shocked." Yusei told her, sighing, "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." Akiza muttered, as they walked downstairs together.
"Have fun!" Suzuki yelled, as the couple headed into the foyer.
"We love you, Akiza." Luna added, waving.
"Go for the gold." Jack said, right before him and Leo burst into laughter, "I'm sorry, he paid me to say that, I couldn't resist."
"And you wonder why no one likes you." Akiza muttered, as she and Yusei left. After he shut the door, Akiza realized they were walking away from the two SUV's parked in front of the double garage.
"Where are we going?" Akiza asked, curiously.
"It's a surpise." Yusei replied, as they continued to walk.
"Come on, I really wanna know...please?" Akiza questioned, sounding like a little kid.
"No, it's a surprise, now close your eyes." Yusei told her, guiding her to their destination.
I'm so nervous, Akiza thought, anxiously biting her lip.
"Okay, you can open them." Yusei whispered, as Akiza slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was a rose garden filled with red, white, and pink roses. Right in the center was a cream colored fleece blanket with a picnic basket and bottle of wine sitting on it. On the other side were folded blankets.
"Holy....crap....," Akiza muttered, sitting on the blanket.
"Cheers." Yusei said, pouring her a glass of red wine. As they gently clicked their glasses together, Akiza took a sip of her wine.
"To this day, all the memories we've had together amazes me. It's been only four years since we first met." Akiza said, smiling.
"I think it was the best time of my life. I mean, I got out the Satellite and the Daedalus Bridge was finally connected." Yusei replied, thinking back to his best memories.
"Do you remember when we met? How mean I was?" Akiza asked, opening the small package of cubed cheese.
"Yeah, but I knew it wasn't your fault. It was that.....sorry excuse for a man....that bastard." Yusei responded, as Akiza took his wine glass from him.
"Calm down, I don't want to have to take you to the emergency room." Akiza murmurred, setting his glass aside, "Anyway, I wanted to say I was sorry. I never meant to hurt you because of my own issues."
"It's fine, really. Like I said, I knew that deep down you weren't really like that." Yusei insisted, not really wanting her to apologize.
"Well, there is something I've always wanted to know.....what was it about me that you found attractive?" Akiza asked, trying not to laugh.
"I don't want you to take offense to this but, it was your vulnerability. It made me see you for who you really are, and not what Divine was trying to make you become," Yusei explained, noticing that they were lying down, "What was it about me that you found attractive?"
"Well, it was really how you accepted me and liked me the way I am, and that you weren't afraid of my powers. It meant a lot to me.....plus, under all my rage, I thought you were hot." Akiza admitted, blushing about the last part.
"You that back then I was hot?" Yusei laughed, not believing the last part.
"No, really, it's true." Akiza giggled, still blushing. After staring into each others eyes for what seemed like forever, they started kissing each other. To Akiza, this felt different from all the other kisses they've had.
"Akiza . . . ." whispered Yusei, breathing heavily as he kissed her neck. She started tearing off Yusei's shirt, looking yet again at his well toned, muscular abs.
"Yusei.......," Akiza breathed, letting him kiss her around her neck and shoulders. Sliding his hands underneath her dress, he caressed her thighs and waist and eventually slid her out of her dress. She undid his belt, using her foot to push the down until he had nothing on. He slowly undid her bra, tossing it aside along with her underwear. After spreading her legs, he pushed into her, causing her to gasp loudly. She could feel her walls closing in on him just before he started thrusting back and forth
"Ah....God . . . . Yusei . . . . Yusei . . . .please....," Akiza groaned, gripping the grass that surrounded, while he gently held her arms down. She could hear him grunting and moaning as he quickened the pace and pushed deeper into her.
"Akiza.........oh my God......," Yusei muttered, huskily.
"God....Yusei....please....don't.....stop...........please..," Akiza moaned, feeling him approaching quickly. After a few moments of thrusting faster, Yusei came as did she.
"That was.....," Yusei drifted, covering themselves with one of the blankets.
"Exciting?" Akiza questioned, trying to catch her breath.
"I guess you could say that." Yusei muttered, smiling down at his fiance.
"Love you babe." Akiza said, kissing his cheek.
"Love you too." Yusei replied, as he gave her an eskimo kiss.
Yeah, this chapter was pretty effing long! Well, only two more chapters to go until the end. Next time: It's the end of August and the gang is heading back home to Neo Domino City. Unfortunately, Akiza and Yusei have to start slowly planning the wedding which is two months away. Will everything go well? R&R plz!!!
