A/N: Okay, as my way of apologizing for not updating as frequently as I should have been. I want to go ahead and use what lil free time I get this summer to completely finish this story before I have to go back to Alabama for school. This past school yr, I haven't had any free time to type any chapters whatsoever. It's always paper after paper, never what I want to write. But please accept this chapter and the chapters to follow as tokens for my forgiveness.

True Love's Wish Chapter 20

Akiza's POV 4 days later-Akiza's house

"So about this bachelorette party?" Raven said, checking her notes on the wedding details.

"It will be in two weeks at my house." I replied, sitting on the sofa next to Yusei.

Crow leaned over to whisper something in Raven's ear; she widened her eyes and shook her head no.

"Umm Hello? Wedding Planners? What's with the whisper?" I asked.

Raven glared at Crow.

"Well, go ahead Crow; tell her what you and the boys suggested for the bachelor party."

Crow glanced to all the boys before speaking. "We thought it would make the party so much better if we had a stripper."

I didn't even have to think about it.

"Absolutely not! Out of the question."

Kalin sat up. "C'mon Akiza, All she gonna do is dance for us while taking her clothes off….. Nothing more. It's not like we gonna let her ride on Yusei."

Jack spoke next. "Kalin's got a point. Trust us."

"Yea, Right. This coming from 4 guys who can't even be trusted to watch a house and keep it clean for 2 weeks!"

Dead silence.

"Yea, I thought so."

"How about we duel for it?" Yusei replied.

I looked at him shocked.

"This really means that much to you?" I asked.

"Akiza, it's about so much more than just a stripper and you know it. So, yes…. I wanna duel you for it."

"Very well then, the terms of this duel: Should you lose, you get no stripper. Should you win, you can have the stripper…. No complaints from me and….."

I whispered in his ear.

"Okay now I'm sure I'm gonna win." Yusei replied.

"You're so sure of yourself; you don't even know the rest of the details."

"What details?"

"We shall Turbo duel, both starting with 18000LP, and Yusei?"

He turned his head.

"Consider Majestic Star Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon, and Shooting Quasar Dragon Banned from this duel."

The guys and Yusei dropped their jaws.

"Damn Yusei, She just shut you down." Kalin said.

Yusei recovered. "No, it'll be fine Kalin. She's smart to weaken me that way, but I don't intend to lose."

"So, do we have an agreement?" I asked.

Yusei smirked. "You're on! Let's Rev it up!"

POV Shift

Akiza→Yusei

Yusei's POV

We got on our runners and headed for the closest dueling lane.

Raven and the guys following behind, and watching intensely.

"This is gonna be one Hell of a duel!" Crow said.

Akiza had the first turn.

She played her Wall of Ivy.

I hate her ivy wall technique.

Wait! Ivy wall? She hasn't used that against me since the fortune cup… what is she planning?

(A/N: Check the blog for the exact details of the duel)

(7 turns later)

I may be down by just a lil bit, but she will not win

Yusei: 12000 LP

Akiza: 15000 LP

"It's just Black Rose and Stardust now Yusei, Give me all you got!" Akiza said as she ended her turn.

I know what she's doing. She won't win. Stardust, It's just me and you.

Raven and the guys were riding their runners behind us and also adding their un-needed commentary.

"Yusei better have this, he can't be beaten by some flower lizard." Kalin said.

"I'd be careful if I were you Kalin," Raven replied.

"Akiza don't take too well to ANYBODY calling her precious dragon some Overgrown flower Lizard. Keep on playing and she is gonna have Black Rose eat you."

Ignoring them, I drew my card.

Scrap- Iron scarecrow, It'll help me for a little while.

I placed it face down and ended my turn.

(Another 10 turns later….)

Yusei: 5000 LP

Akiza: 4500 LP

Akiza had managed to special Summon Black Rose back to the field and had planned to destroy all the cards on the field, I used Stardust's effect to remove him and negated her effect and destroyed her.

"You keep that up, and we may never have a winner." Akiza taunted, seeing as that's the 5th time I've done that during this duel.

"You gotta run out of cards eventually Akiza, You never stated what you consider a loss in this duel….. Your Life Points or Your Cards."

Her eyes widened as she realized this, she was down to 12 cards while I only had 13.

Jack, Crow, and Kalin smiled as they too, realized the significance of the situation.

"It's like the Grand Prix all over again." Crow chided.

"Only time will tell then, the duel is up in the air now." Akiza replied.

"It's been up in the air since the beginning." Jack and Kalin stated.

"Yea, all this back and forth is starting to make my head ache…. Nobody has had a lead, and neither one of you is willing to budge….. I didn't think this was that serious." Raven added.

Akiza ended her turn.

Raven, you just don't know how serious this is….. this duel isn't just to see if I can get a stripper; It's to see just how much Akiza is willing to Trust me. If we're really ready to spend the rest of our lives together, She's gonna have to Trust me enough to know that There's nothing on this Earth (above or below) that I'd be willing to leave her for. She knows this that's why she's dueling with all her might.

I drew my card.

Yea, I lost a lot of points but I'm not out yet.

I'll admit, Akiza has gotten a lot stronger since we started dating. Now she ranks right up there with Jack and I. You'd think this duel would be over by now… Maybe Kalin was right.

Due to Stardust Special ability he back cam back to the field.

I activated my call of the haunted spell card to bring back Junk Warrior and Equipped Axe of Despair to him. Next I attacked Akiza directly for 3300 Life Points.

I could take her out now, Since Stardust is back but, I'm gonna wait.

I ended my turn.

Yusei: 5000 LP

Akiza: 1200 LP

Akiza frowned.

"We all know you could've taken me out. What are you waiting for?"

"I figured you had a few more tricks up your sleeve, I just wanted to see what they are."

Akiza drew her card.

Then she summoned out Blue Rose Dragon.

She placed three cards face down and ended her turn.

It was my turn to frown.

No attack? No return of Black Rose? Nothing?

She glanced at me as she rode.

She wants me to win.

I drew my card and attacked Blue Rose with my Stardust, and wiped out her remaining Life Points.

The duel is over.

We stopped our runners and I looked at the cards she had set…. She could've stopped me but chose not to… Why?

I looked to her for and explanation, she shook her head.

"I'll tell you later."

Raven and the guys stopped behind us…. The guys, boasting about the victory. Nobody but Akiza and I realizing the true significance of the duel.

A/N: I know! I know! You guys wanna know what happened next….. go to the blog shortly after this update( maybe a week or so) to find out the rest. Until Next time my lovelys.
