"Ruka! Ruka," Rua called out, causing me to look up from my breakfast as my twin ran into the room, clutching a piece of paper in his hands.

"Please don't tell me this is another tournament," I muttered. Of course, I guess we did have some fun... But most of all that happened was... horrible. Pretty much fainting after the last duel too... I would think we could take a little break.

"No! It's a letter! A letter from Mom and Dad," Rua said. I quickly jumped out of my seat and ran over to my brother, who gave me the letter to read. "Well? Isn't it great," Rua smiled, excitement dripping out his ears at the chance to see our parents once more. They had finally finished their over sea jobs, but they weren't able to return to Neo Domino, as their jobs required them to live about a hour drive away. They also told us how they had heard about what happened in Neo Domino and about the tournament and praised both of us accordingly. Of course, they probably had no idea about my interests in Kaze, as I had never told that.

I had hardly managed to get it out to him. Getting it out to my parents would probably be even worse.

"Aren't you excited, Ruka? I get that we're leaving everyone and they're like our new family, but I'm sure they'll still be here! They won't forget us! Friends don't do that to each other," Rua said.

"But," I trailed off. I don't think Rua quite understood the situation I was in. If I leave to go be with my mother and father... That would leave Kaze alone with Rei and Sherry... There's no doubt that he won't be able to stay single and wait for me, or some fantasy idea like that.

"It sounds like we're supposed to leave tonight in order to be there as soon as we can," Rua muttered.

"So we're supposed to say our goodbyes now then," I asked. I haven't seen my parents in years, and they were waiting a little ways away for Rua and I... Maybe if I tell Rei and Sherry the situation, then they'll at least back off for the several months or so that I'll be gone... Or maybe... I can convince him to chose now, before I go.

"I guess so... There's too many people to say goodbye to though," Rua sighed. "Here! I have an idea! I'll go to Yusei's and tell everyone there goodbye for us, and you can go to Kaze's and tell everyone there goodbye," Rua shouted.

"Sure... I guess," I said. Who said that they'd all even be there...? Well, obviously Kaze would at home, probably sleeping off what happened. Sherry would probably sneak her way in as usually and Rei probably went with her or something, but Yusei and the others might not be at Yusei's. They all had their own paths to pick as well. After all, it seemed that the world was done being in a crisis with the end of the tournament and all of our Signer marks disappeared. Rua was the one who was most upset about this, as he hardly had the mark for more than a few months and the rest of us had it for much longer.

"Don't worry, it'll all be fine," Rua smiled before running off, making sure to grab his duel board on the way. After setting our parents' letter on the table, I made my way to my duel board as well, hoping that I was bringing my best persuasion skills as well.

"Please," Rei begged, her forehead pressed against the floor so hard that you'd think she thought it would convince Kaze to side with her the harder she pushed. On what the problem was, I wasn't quite sure, as I just opened the door and was confronted by Rei groveling before Kaze's feet and Sherry standing as an intimidating figure behind her.

"B-but Ruka-," Kaze started.

"We can tell her later, I promise! But tell us now," Rei said as she clasped her hands over her head to enforce the beg even more.

"Uh... Guys," I asked. Kaze only had a few seconds to look at me before Rei jumped to her feet.

"Is it better now? Ruka's here! You can tell us now, right," Rei asked eagerly.

"Tell us what," I asked.

"We've been trying to convince Kaze to tell us who he likes the most, and he wouldn't because you weren't here! But now you are, so he can finally chose," Rei smiled.

"Okay then... If you want me to get it done with, then I-," Kaze started. He stopped when Rei got back into her begging position.

"Wait, wait! No! Don't chose now! I just got back! You've know these guys for years! You gotta give me a chance to redeem myself here," Rei shouted.

"Make up your mind, will you," Sherry muttered.

"Actually... Kaze, can you really pick now? I think things would end up better if you did," I said.

"Ruka, stay on my side for this! Us girls have to stick in this together," Rei insisted, refusing to give up on her begging still.

"Why are you so eager for his choosing all of a sudden," Sherry asked.

"I... I'm going to be moving. I'm moving to go back with my parents, and we're leaving tonight."

"You can't leave," Rei shouted, quickly getting to her feet and grabbing my shoulders. "Not now! You definitely can't leave now," Rei continued.

"Why not? Any other day and you'd be all over her getting gone," Sherry said.

"Ruka's a woman now! As another woman in the running, taking Kaze without getting through her too would be like some kind of sneak attack," Rei said, briefly letting go of my shoulders as she turned to Sherry. After she got a new idea, she quickly clasped them once more though. "I got it! You can go and live with your parents for a while! While you're gone, I'll keep Sherry back so that I can get my time with Kaze in and you can be with your parents! It's a win-win! Kaze can chose after you get back," Rei grinned, letting me know that if I protested, she would start her begging towards me instead.

"What makes you think you can stop me from doing anything," Sherry asked.

"You know what I can do! I can do the one-two upper cut! You won't know what hit you," Rei said, playfully punching towards Sherry, who was clearly unimpressed.

"Guys, we can argue later! Let's give Ruka a nice time before she has to go," Kaze said.

"Or even better yet, you can give her a nice time," Rei said.

"Y-you mean-," Kaze started.

"Of course! A one time fling! Ruka, meet us back here in an hour," Rei said before grabbing Kaze by his wrists and dragging him off.

"W-wait! R-Rei!"

"Now who does she think she is? Deciding this all on her own," Sherry sighed.

"Does... Did she really just," I trailed off.

"Yes. She set you up for a one time date with Kaze." A few seconds passed and then I promptly fainted onto the floor.

"So, uh... I guess we," Kaze trailed off, probably feeling awkward with the new look that Rei had given him. His hair was now spiked slightly and he was only wearing a pair of jeans, a short sleeved pale blue jacket and a long sleeved gray undershirt. Me? I had just recovered from my fainting several minutes ago and had no idea I was supposed to change into something fancy. I had feverishly removed my ponytails though in a hope that he wouldn't figure out that I fainted the moment he left.

"We... We can just go back if you want. I know that you probably don't want to do this and-," I started.

"Well, we won't see each other for a while, so we might as well do something fun while we have the time alone," Kaze said.

"I... I know it's selfish, but... Couldn't you... Would you be able to visit me when I move or something," I asked.

"Yusei and the others might need some help though. The future isn't golden and everything... I'll definitely visit when I have time though, don't you worry," Kaze smiled. "But enough with the morbid thinking! Let's have some fun," Kaze continued.

"Right..."

"Are you alright, Ruka," Kaze asked.

"Hm? Y-yeah," I muttered, slowly turning back to him. It had been the fifth time that I swore I heard Sherry and Rei, but this time, I actually saw them for a brief few second. That meant they were probably following us... There was nothing to really hide though. It was just like your average date. We walked around, we talked, did a little shopping, and that's really it.

"Guys. Your times up," Rei said as she popped out of the middle of the crowd of people we were in, causing Kaze to jump, as he hadn't noticed her following us.

"H-how long have you been here," Kaze asked.

"I said I'd give you a date. I didn't say a private one," Rei sighed. "But one hour is the limit! Besides, Ruka probably needs to get going," Rei said.

"That's right... Thanks for everything, truly. See you later," I smiled, as it was all I could do to push the rest of my emotions back. I pulled my duel board out and hopped on it before riding it towards my soon to be old home. There was no point in crying over it. It wasn't like we'd never see each other again. He'd visit, I'd eventually be allowed to come back, and if worse came to worse, there were always letters. I simply accelerated to push my thoughts at ease. Tonight, I'd finally see my parents... And everything would end out good, because when I came back, Kaze would pick and the worrying would be done. So for the time being, I should just enjoy the ride that life is giving me...

GodzillaG: It'll be good depending on what pairing(s?) you support xD

The Wild Fang: But she already confessed how long ago. (It's actually like a week or two, but why not...) Rei just stalks Kaze now as a personal stalker, obviously. Ex-cheerleaders can't do much D: And this story is going to end in a few few chapters with Kaze choosing one of the girls, as obviously, Ruka will finally return.
