Chapter 13
After the most enjoyable shower of their lives, as well as their second time making love, Yusei and Akiza retired to the kitchen for some breakfast. They walked down the stairs to find the Dark Magician Girl waiting at the table, still only visible and audible to Akiza due to her magic. She was reading a different book, having finished her previous one.
The spellcaster looked up and gave Akiza a blank stare. The teen winked at her, trying to express her thanks, but the Dark Magician Girl made no acknowledgement of it and resumed reading her book. Akiza couldn't blame her. She had pretty much blown off a large portion of her advice by giving her virginity to Yusei so soon. Although, she did think the cold shoulder routine was a bit excessive.
After whipping up a quick breakfast of eggs and toast, which were just about the only things that Akiza felt confident in making without the Dark Magician Girl's help, the two lovers sat down at the table and enjoyed their first meal as a couple. Yusei was dressed in his pants and black sleeveless shirt, and Akiza wore soffe shorts and a white tank top. It was strange but pleasant to Akiza that after just one night of passion and love, they were comfortable showing off skin to each other. Although, the thought of parading around Yusei naked still made her blush violently.
They sat down at the table before Akiza realized the Dark Magician Girl was still present, and she showed no signs of moving to give her and Yusei any privacy. Akiza shot her a stern glance when Yusei wasn't looking, but the spellcaster ignored that, too. The teen inwardly sighed. This must have been the spellcaster's revenge for Akiza not listening to her. The teen decided to not let it bother her. This was a perfect morning with the man of her dreams, and nothing could ruin that.
The couple sat down and began eating, Yusei complimenting Akiza on her cooking once again. "Man, I could get used to this," he said. "Be careful, or you're going to spoil me into not ever eating TV dinners again."
Akiza blushed and giggled. "Works for me, then I could cook for you more often and have you all to myself.
"Yeah, no problem for fixing dinner last night," the Dark Magician Girl butted in. "You're welcome, Yusei."
Akiza's eyebrow twitched at this. Was her friend trying to sabotage her breakfast with Yusei? She brushed off the comment and decided not to let it get to her. Instead, she struck up more friendly conversation with Yusei over their meal. As much as Akiza liked getting physical with Yusei, talking with him, getting to know him on a deeper level and seeing the true person he was under his stoic and serious nature, was her greatest joy. She loved him for the person he was and the way he treated her. She loved him not just for his body, but for his heart and soul, too.
Yusei put his silverware down and stopped eating for a moment, the room falling into silence. "Akiza?" he asked. His voice was hesitant, almost like he was afraid to ask something.
"Yes, Yusei?" she replied.
"I..." He stopped, not wanting to offend her.
Akiza gave him a gentle smile. She rose from her chair and seated herself in Yusei's lap, wrapping her arms around him. His hands instinctively went to her waist, and she gave him a quick kiss before looking into his eyes. "Yusei, please don't be afraid of talking to me. I'm still your friend, but now I'm also your girlfriend. You can tell me anything, and I'll listen just like before."
He beamed at her and stroked her back in gratitude. "Thank you, Akiza. It... It's really nice to have someone who understands me completely." He took a deep breath. "I was just going to ask if... Well... Are you comfortable with this? With us having sex at such a young age? I mean, we're both still teenagers, and I don't want to force you into anything."
Akiza cupped his cheek, rubbing it lightly with her thumb. "Yusei, I trust you with everything, and that includes my body. I love being with you, and I love making love to you. I just... I love you. If you don't want to have sex, then that's okay with me, but don't make that decision because of what you think I want. All I want is to be with you, and if that means that I get to have your body as well, then that's even better."
"Quite a bit better judging by what I heard last night," the Dark Magician Girl muttered.
Yusei grinned. "If that's the way you feel, then I'd like nothing more than to share myself with you again," he said, kissing her on the lips.
"I'm sure he does want you back in bed now that he's had a little taste."
Akiza grinned back. "Anytime you want me, Yusei. I'm yours."
"And anytime you want me, Akiza," Yusei replied. "Just say the word and you have me. Although," he added with another frown. Always the cautious one, Yusei had to explore every consequence before making a decision. "I don't want to be negative, but what would your parents think of this?"
"Don't worry about my parents," Akiza replied. "I'm old enough to make my own decisions. Plus, I'm not sleeping around with men I barely know, I'm expressing my affection for the one man I truly love, and that man is you, Yusei. We're being safe about it by using birth control. If my parents disapprove, then that's their problem."
"Still," Yusei said. "I don't want to make your parents angry or disrespect their daughter."
Akiza laughed, not surprised that Yusei was trying to be a gentleman. It was one of the many reasons why she loved him, but she wanted him to let out a little of his bad boy persona every once in a while. "If you'll remember," she whispered huskily into his ear, "I was the one who seduced you into bed."
He raised his eyebrow. "Well, I wouldn't say you seduced me, but I'll admit your hot body was extremely alluring," he teased.
"You're not too hard on the eyes, either," Akiza jested back. She smirked and he drew her in for another kiss. Their tongues danced in each other's mouths.
"I'm starting to wonder where those shy, awkward teenagers I knew about a week ago went," the Dark Magician Girl said facetiously. "What ever happened to those cute and innocent kids I was trying to get together?"
Akiza couldn't take it any longer. She tolerated Yubel's rude commentary because she knew it was in the duel spirit's nature, but the Dark Magician Girl was hardly one for abrasive sarcasm. The teen hated to leave Yusei alone, but she knew that something had to give. She reluctantly stood up from her seat on Yusei's lap, keeping her forehead pressed to his.
"I just remembered I need to do something. I'll be right back, okay?" she said.
Yusei nodded. "I'll be here," he said. She parted and headed for the bathroom while he turned his attention back towards his breakfast. He couldn't help but feel giddy and completely content with his life. Akiza loved him. That fact suddenly made everything brighter. And what's more, the irresistibly attractive psychic also wanted to cook food for him and have sex with him? If that wasn't a guy's greatest dream, then Yusei didn't know what was.
As he examined himself, Yusei found that, for the first time since he could remember, he felt completely at peace. There were no duel gangs to be brought down, Securities to avoid, rivals to challenge or Dark Signers to defeat. There was only the special bond he and Akiza shared, the affection and passion they held for each other, and the wonderful memories they were creating. He had been searching all his life for the piece that completed him, only to discover that it was her all along.
He looked outside at the sky, sunny and without a cloud in it. Yes, Yusei decided. He could easily get used to mornings like these.
Akiza closed her bedroom door and let out a sigh. She made sure that it was locked before speaking quietly. "I know you can hear me, Dark."
The spellcaster materialized in front of her and stood with her hands on her hips. "Hmm, so my master finally decides to talk to me."
"Don't be so sensitive," Akiza shot back, crossing her arms. "I haven't really had a chance, unless you want me to tip off Yusei about you."
"You're going to have to tell him at some point," the Dark Magician Girl replied. "Now that you've sexed each other up, there aren't many more secrets left to share between you two."
The teen sighed, dropping her defensive reflex and trying to show some sympathy for the spellcaster. Even if having sex was Akiza's decision alone, it was still unfair that she had led the Dark Magician Girl to believe they were going to wait. "Dark... I'm sorry, okay?" Akiza apologized. "I know you said it was wrong for Yusei and me to sleep together this early, but I just couldn't help it! Last night was so perfect, and I had to know it was real."
The Dark Magician Girl dropped her caustic front as well and sighed. "I'm sorry, too, for being a bitch this morning," she said. "And from now on, I'll let you have your time alone with Yusei. But I... I just feel a little betrayed right now. I know that wasn't your intent, but it hurts knowing you didn't trust me."
"I know, and I feel terrible about that," Akiza said. "But I love him, Dark. I love him so much, and I needed to be close to him."
"There are other ways of being close to someone than sleeping with them," the Dark Magician Girl replied. "But I understand your actions, Akiza. And while I don't approve, it's not my right to decide whether or not you have sex with Yusei. Only he and you have that right now that you're both of age."
Akiza furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. They were obviously referring to two different things at the moment. "But if you're okay with Yusei and me making love, then why do you feel betrayed?"
The Dark Magician Girl averted her eyes for a second in thought. She sighed and said, "I'll tell you later, after Yusei leaves and we have time to talk. We need to discuss some things."
Akiza nodded. "Okay, but... Yusei and I were going to spend the day together after we told his friends about us."
"It won't take long," the spellcaster said. "Just let him go by Poppo Time, grab some clean clothes, and come back to pick you up. That'll be more than enough time."
"Alright," she said. The Dark Magician Girl gave a nod in agreement, and she was about to disappear when Akiza stopped her. "Dark, wait."
"What is it?" she asked.
Akiza hugged herself, still feeling guilty about mistreating her friend. "I... Thank you, Dark. For everything. These hours with Yusei have been the best of my life, and you made it possible. I'm sorry for taking you for granted, and I promise to never do it again."
The spellcaster's eyes softened, and she relaxed visibly. She stepped over to Akiza and placed her hands on the teen's shoulders. "If anyone deserves to be loved, it's you, Akiza. I only want you and Yusei to be happy."
"Well," Akiza chuckled. "I'd say you're doing an exceptional job."
The Dark Magician Girl rolled her eyes with a small smile, and she stepped back. "We'll talk later," she said and disappeared in a flashy exit.
The teen shook her head in amusement. Typical magicians, always ostentatious with their arrival and departure. She took the time to change into a set of presentable clothes - jeans and a sleeveless shirt - and made her way back down stairs. She arrived in the kitchen to find Yusei finishing up his breakfast, and he wore a satisfied grin on his face.
"Enjoy your food?" Akiza asked, walking behind him to rub his shoulders.
Yusei leaned back as she massaged him. "Beats stove-top ramen any day," he replied.
She raised an eyebrow. "Not exactly a five star review, but I'll take what I can get."
"Five stars, huh?" Yusei jested. "I'd give your dessert last night at least double that."
Akiza playfully slapped his arm. "For your information, that particular item is only on your menu."
Yusei chuckled and stood up, pulling Akiza into a hug. He kissed her forehead and held her close while she rested her head on his chest. "Wouldn't have it any other way," he replied.
"Me, either," she agreed. They embraced each other for a while longer before Akiza inhaled and pecked him on the lips. "You know, it's almost noon. You could grab some clothes at Poppo Time, then pick me up back here. It'll give me time to get ready."
"Sounds good," Yusei replied. "Hey, um... how much do you want to tell our friends?"
"What do you mean?" Akiza asked.
"I mean about us," Yusei replied. "I don't really feel like talking about my new sex life with Jack and Crow, to be honest."
Akiza giggled. "I can see why," she said. "Those two can really get under your skin from what I've seen. And I'm not too eager to let Carly know either. Nothing could change how I feel about you, but it might be easier if they only know we're a couple."
"Agreed," Yusei said. "We'll keep our business in the bedroom to ourselves."
They shared one more embrace and a few parting words of love on the front porch before Yusei started his runner and sped off, waving back to Akiza as he left. She leaned on one of the front pillars with a loving sigh, dreamily thinking about how her life would change now that Yusei knew of her feelings and returned them. Akiza knew he loved her, even if he wasn't ready to say it yet. But as a wise person once told her, love is patient, and she would wait until Yusei was ready to say he loved her for as long as he needed.
She closed the door with a smile, knowing that nothing could bring her down from her peak of joy. She walked up the stairs and into her bedroom, needing to touch up her makeup before Yusei got back. Not to mention that she and the Dark Magician Girl needed to talk. Akiza couldn't fathom what the spellcaster was upset about if it wasn't what happened the night before. She shrugged and decided to ask about it instead of just speculating.
"Dark? You there?" she called out.
The spellcaster materialized on her bed, sitting up with her legs crossed. "As always," she replied. "By the way, I took the liberty of changing your bed sheets. The ones you and Yusei used smell like hot sex, which isn't a good flavor for a room to have."
Akiza couldn't help but chuckle. Just a week ago, such a joke would have offended her. But now, the teen found her modesty and innocence slowly slipping away when it came to Yusei. "Yeah, thanks for that," she replied. "I'll remember to change them in the future." She immediately flinched when she realized she just blatantly stated that she and Yusei were going to have a lot more sex. But the Dark Magician Girl didn't seem fazed or disapproving, so she continued speaking. "Anyways, I'm ready to talk if you are."
The spellcaster nodded. "I am."
"Okay," Akiza started. "I'm trying to understand why you feel betrayed, Dark. I don't want to hurt you, and I'm sorry for whatever I did. Please just tell me what I did wrong."
The Dark Magician Girl looked away, seemingly annoyed by Akiza's apology. "I thought it would be obvious," she replied.
"I'm sorry, but I don't understand," Akiza admitted.
The spellcaster gave her a look that clearly said 'are you kidding me?' She exhaled thought her nostrils and spoke with a dangerously calm voice. "You bonded your soul with a dream demon, Akiza. Did you really expect to hide that from me?"
Akiza's eyes widened, and suddenly all of the Dark Magician Girl's sketchy behavior made sense. She knew about Yubel. Even the teen had partially forgotten about her bond with the duel spirit, and she didn't even consider that the spellcaster would feel betrayed when she found out, not after everything that happened with Yusei.
"And the cat's out of the bag," Yubel commented, unfazed by the Dark Magician Girl's words. She materialized on Akiza's dresser, sitting cross-legged and leaning back. She looked at her host. "Sorry, Akiza, but Dark over here is right. As much as I hate to admit it, it was only a matter of time before she noticed me."
The teen looked from one spirit to the other, each of them staring back. After the initial shock wore off, Akiza started to suspect that there had been some events between the Dark Magician Girl and Yubel she was unaware of. "How long have you known?" she asked the Dark Magician Girl.
"Since last night," she replied. "I sensed her while you and Yusei were going at it. When she stepped out of your body after you two fell asleep, I confronted her. We talked, and now here we are."
"You did a little more than talk," Yubel corrected, stretching her neck with a wince. "I don't even have a body and your magic still hurts."
"You two fought?" Akiza asked with worry. "Why?"
Yubel shrugged. "Old grudges die hard," she replied. "And it wasn't much of a fight, anyways. I'm in such a weak state right now that Dark could crush me whenever she wants. Fortunately, we reached an understanding before that happened."
The Dark Magician Girl huffed at this. "More like we blackmailed each other, I'm sad to say."
"Blackmailed?" Akiza repeated. "What's going on between you two?"
The Dark Magician Girl looked away. "It hurts knowing your friend is keeping secrets that affect you, doesn't it?"
The teen looked down, now knowing exactly how the spellcaster felt. "Yes, it does," she replied. "I'm sorry, Dark. You didn't deserve me treating you like that."
"I know. I'm just trying to understand why you didn't trust me," the Dark Magician Girl replied.
"Because she was worried if you knew about me, you'd freak the fuck out!" Yubel cried, waving her hands around ostentatiously. "And you did go batshit crazy there for a second. For Ra's sake, I saw my life flash before my eyes."
Even though it was peppered with foul language, Yubel's explanation was close to the truth. Akiza shook her head. They couldn't keep going on like this, avoiding each other and keeping secrets. While their cloak and dagger policy had successfully gotten her and Yusei together, it had caused some hurt feelings and betrayed trust between the three women. Akiza decided that this had to stop. If they were going to exist together, then they needed to be able to understand each other and coexist peacefully.
"Enough of this," she said. "We can't keep deceiving each other. The secrets have to stop, or one of us is going to get hurt. Agreed?"
The Dark Magician Girl nodded, and Yubel considered it for a moment before replying, "Sure, why not?"
Akiza could tell the two duel spirits were unhappy about tolerating each other, but at least they were willing to try. She said, "I think for starters that we all need to know exactly why each of us is here. That way, there won't be any misunderstandings between us. If we're going to exist together, then we have to be able to trust each other, or at least know that none of us pose any danger."
Yubel and the Dark Magician Girl considered it in silence. They both looked at each other at the same time. "You're going to have to tell her about your nature," the spellcaster said.
"Only if you spill it about Yugi," Yubel shot back. "And before you argue, it's relevant. Don't try to say it isn't."
The Dark Magician Girl slowly nodded, knowing that it was the right thing to do, even if it would be painful. Her friend deserved to know her true motivations after trusting her with almost everything. "You first," she said to Yubel. "Akiza's already trusted us with all her secrets, and I... I need a minute to compose myself."
"Alright," Yubel replied. Akiza felt worry for the Dark Magician Girl. She didn't want to cause her friend any more pain, even if it was necessary. She gave the spellcaster a reassuring smile, which the Dark Magician Girl returned with nostalgia in her eyes.
Yubel cleared her throat. "Well, well, where to start?" she mused. "First of all, do you know what a succubus is, Akiza?"
"Sort of," Akiza replied. "I don't know very much except that they were dangerous mythical demons that supposedly existed a long time ago."
"Oh, they are no myth, my dear," Yubel replied with a toothy smile. She flew up in the air and twirled around, posing with her hand on her hip."You're looking at one right now."
Akiza's eyes widened. "Y-You're a demon?" she breathed. "And you didn't tell me?"
"Yeah, she does that," the Dark Magician Girl commented.
Yubel's eye twitched, but she managed to ignore the spellcaster. "Is it really that big of a deal? This is like me getting mad because you didn't tell me you're a human. I didn't think my race would be important in this matter."
"But... a succubus," Akiza said. "I would've liked to know that before we bonded."
Yubel shrugged in acknowledgement. "I guess I wasn't completely fair to you, but can you blame me? I was going to die otherwise. Can I at least explain before you start accusing me of things?"
Akiza sighed and nodded. "Alright, I'll listen."
Yubel nodded. "First off, succubi are not as dangerous as people think. Legend says we are the spawn of Hell and that our purpose is to drain the souls of helpless men by having sex with them in their sleep. Societies have held us responsible for creating witches, demonic possession and deformed children. But none of that is true. All of the scary stories about us are the doing of pious moralists that wanted to exterminate our kind, and their propaganda worked. Admittedly, we are dangerous if provoked to violence, but so are you and Dark for that matter."
"But if the legends aren't accurate, what is the truth?" Akiza asked.
"To put it simply," Yubel explained. "Succubi are female demons that survive by absorbing the aura released during sexual intercourse. Of course, we can gain energy through many other ways, but sex is the most efficient method of getting it, and no other method completely satisfies us. Unfortunately, there were a few infamous succubi who preyed on the souls of men and left them as empty shells. They were responsible for the horror stories about us and effectively doomed our entire race because of their atrocities. I'm one of the very few surviving succubi left alive."
Something occurred to Akiza during Yubel's explanation. She thought back to her discussions with the demon, the advice given, and it all made sense now that Yubel's identity was revealed. "Yubel..." Akiza muttered with frightened eyes. "That's why you wanted Yusei and me to have sex... So you could get stronger." She shook her head, dismayed that she had been so easily deceived and used.
Yubel wore a stern expression for a moment. There was no easy way around this one. "I'll admit that was part of my motivation," she replied. "But let me ask you this; would you change what happened between you and Yusei last night?"
Akiza thought back to her time with Yusei. It had been such a transcendent experience, and she felt more loved and wanted in Yusei arms than ever before. Making love to him was the greatest experience of her life, and she realized she wouldn't trade it for the world. "No," Akiza said. "But... I just feel so dirty and used now that I know you... you..." She couldn't finish, unsure of what Yubel actually did.
Yubel sighed and shook her head. "Akiza, deep down, all succubi want is to be loved, just like you. Your first time with Yusei was beautiful. I know true love when I see it, and I definitely saw it last night. And it's not like I was partaking in your lovemaking, I was just mooching off the extra aura that was released through our bond. I'm not trying to use you, I'm just doing what my race needs to do in order to survive. If what happened made you and Yusei fall in love and grow closer, and if you don't regret it, then it shouldn't matter why I wanted it."
Akiza looked at the Dark Magician Girl, who gave her a reassuring look. It seemed that even the spellcaster could agree on that point. The teen nodded, deciding that she didn't care what Yubel's reasons were for encouraging her to make love with Yusei because it wasn't important. What mattered was the love she was able to share with Yusei, and that was good enough for her. "I understand," Akiza replied.
Yubel nodded back, making peace with her host. "Oh, and one more thing to put your mind at ease; sex based on true love produces the most potent kind of sexual aura, and I've never felt anything like the energy released last night. I was able to project my spirit out of your body after only one session between you and Yusei, which is incredible given that it was both your first times. He loves you, girl, more than you could ever dream."
Akiza smiled. "Thank you, Yubel."
The succubus simply shrugged casually. She turned her head to stare at the Dark Magician Girl. "Alright, your turn. And try not to turn this into a sob-fest."
The Dark Magician Girl shot Yubel a vicious glare that effectively silenced the demon. She turned back to Akiza with soft eyes and took a deep breath."Remember what I told you about the love I knew?"
"Yes," Akiza answered. "You said you lost it, but not much else."
The Dark Magician Girl nodded. Then, she told Akiza all about how she fell in love with Yugi Moto. She told about how she guided him and his friends against Dartz and their adventures with the Seal of Orichalcos. She recounted how kind and brave her master was in the face of such darkness and how he had hopelessly stolen her heart.
"He made me see the best in myself," she said. "I served the Pharaoh for centuries, and never before did I meet someone like Yugi. I couldn't help but fall in love with him, but I was always too afraid to tell him."
Akiza felt sympathy for her friend, knowing all too well the longing she held. "What happened?"
The spellcaster looked away, the painful memories resurfacing. "He fell in love with someone else," she said. "His friend Tea... Yugi held the same affection for her that I did for him. But she was really in love with the Pharaoh, even though she still held some measure of affection for Yugi. She tried to convince herself that they were one and the same for a time, and she never admitted to herself that she had to make a choice even when she learned they were two people. After the Pharaoh left, Tea finally acknowledged Yugi and returned his feelings. And I watched all of this in silence."
Akiza felt tears well up. "That's terrible!" she cried. "You mean that Tea girl only loved Yugi because she couldn't have the Pharaoh?"
The Dark Magician Girl sighed. "Not exactly. She was torn between the two, and she loved them both for different reasons. But I do think she would have chosen the Pharaoh if he had stayed. He was starting to fall in love with her from what I could tell." She shook her head and fought back tears. "It just made me so furious to see Yugi offering Tea his heart and his life while she kept him at arm's length so she wouldn't have to choose between him and the Pharaoh. I was jealous... I would've done anything for Yugi to treat me like he treated Tea, and she just didn't care if she was hurting him."
"I'm so sorry, Dark," Akiza said. "You must have been devastated."
The spellcaster nodded as silent tears crept down her cheeks. "Yes... but they were happy together in the end. And I'm glad Yugi got to receive Tea's love, even if I couldn't receive his. I haven't loved anyone else since then. Duel spirits don't fall in love easily, but when they do, that bond is almost unbreakable."
"Fucking bitch," Yubel muttered, referring to Tea. "I'd have torn her apart if I was you."
The Dark Magician Girl didn't respond. She knew it was Yubel's own way of sympathizing with her, so she accepted it without question. "Maybe it was for the best," she said, drying her tears. "After all, he was mortal and I'm not. I was bound to lose him eventually."
Akiza put a comforting hand on the Dark Magician Girl's shoulder. "I know it still hurts, though. And I'm so sorry you had your heart broken."
"Thank you, Akiza," the spellcaster said. She let Akiza hug her and, while they embraced, she said, "I'm telling you this because... I think you have a right to know. This whole thing with you and Yusei... I didn't realize it at first, but I was treating it as a way to redeem myself after missing my chance with Yugi. I'll admit, I had an agenda too. I guess I was using you and Yusei so I could have some sense of closure. I'm sorry."
Akiza looked her in the eyes. "There's nothing to forgive," she said. "You've done more for me than I could ever have dreamed. I'm in your debt, Dark. And I want you to know that I consider you one of my closest friends."
Yubel rolled her eyes. "Ugh, I thought we weren't going to get all touchy-feely," she groaned.
The two girls parted, and Akiza managed a small laugh. "So... are there any more secrets left?" she asked half-seriously.
"I think that covers it," Yubel commented. She cracked her neck and stretched. "I sense Yusei walking up to the door. Looks like it's time to go."
Akiza smiled. "Our first day together as a couple. Part of me still can't believe this is happening."
"You earned it, Akiza," the Dark Magician Girl said. "Now it's time for you to go and enjoy being in love."
"Thank you," Akiza said. "To both of you. You don't know how grateful I am for your help. Isn't there anything I can do to repay you?"
The Dark Magician Girl shook her head. "Just always keep Yusei close to your heart, and never stop loving him. That's how you can repay me." Akiza smiled at this. She loved how the spellcaster made her feel capable of being romantic.
Yubel shrugged. "As long as you keep having lots of hot sex with Yusei, we're square."
Both Akiza and the Dark Magician Girl facepalmed at this. One thing was for sure; the three women were in for a wild ride as long as they were stuck together.
