A/N: Chapter 20!

Sorry for the delay.

Akiza and Yusei looked over the large group. They didn't know how or why they were all looking up at them, but they couldn't get the courage to ask.

Sherry quickly ran beside them and proclaimed, "Look at these two! Isn't it sick?"

Everyone just stared at her and Sherry rolled her eyes. "Akiza's with Yusei, who is her servant."

Suddenly, the large group started to mumbled and whisper about them.

"Now should these two be together?" Sherry asked.

The crowd gave them a negative response. "Exactly," she said. She went over to Yusei. "Now, you two can clearly see that it is not proper for a servant to be dating their owner, so lets separate you two." Sherry took Yusei's hand and pulled them apart. Akiza and Yusei looked at one another, both pleading to not be separated. Yusei quickly turned to Sherry and pulled his hand away.

"Oh come on Yusei," Sherry said, "Since you can't be with her, why don't you come with someone else? Someone like...me?"

Yusei looked over the railing and knew he had to do something.

"Quiet! Quiet!" he yelled. Soon, the crowd was hushed.

"Yes," Yusei said, "Yes Akiza and I are a couple. But why should that matter?"

"It's not proper," Sherry responded.

"So? Just because you guys don't think it's proper doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same. Not to mention that who cares if I'm her servant? Besides..." Yusei went up to Akiza and grabbed both of her hands with his.

"As long as we love each other, it shouldn't matter what class we're in. Rich or poor." The crowd murmured at the comment.

Sherry rolled her eyes. "Please," she said, "You don't love her. You love me. What about our duels together?"

"Wait," Akiza spoke up and it gave Yusei a worried look, "What do you mean by duels?"

Sherry smiled. "The Turbo Duels we did together," she answered, "They were so romantic and we both had a wonderful time together. You could even call them 'dates.'"

Akiza gave Yusei a mean glare. "Okay. We Turbo Dueled each other," Yusei admitted, "However..."

Yusei knew that much of what Sherry had said, wasn't true. He quickly turned his attention to her.

"First of all, they weren't dates Sherry," Yusei replied, "If a Turbo Duel equals a date, then I had my first date years ago. Second of all, they weren't romantic. They were a Turbo Duel after all..."

"But Turbo Duels can be romantic," Sherry said, "Especially when it's with someone you love."

Yusei sighed and could tell Akiza wasn't convinced. He knew he had to come clean and make it easy for Akiza to realize that he didn't love Sherry. He walked over to Sherry and took her hands. "Sherry. Listen. You've got it all wrong. Those duels were never about dating you."

"Oh really? Then what were they about?"

Yusei sighed and let go of her hands. He closed his eyes and looked down at the floor. Sherry, Akiza, and the guests were all wondering what his answer was. "They...were so that...I could find out information about Akiza."

The crowd gasped and Sherry turned crossed, as Yusei re-opened his eyes to look at her.

"What do you mean, 'To find out information about Akiza?' You were smiling the whole time. You looked like you were enjoying your time with me."

"Look, Sherry, I did have fun. It was more fun dueling you for the first time than it was my friends for the 1,000th time. I really enjoyed it, but the real reason why I wanted to duel you was to find out information about Akiza. You two have known one another for a long time, so you had to know what she liked and disliked. That's how I knew her favorite restaurant, food, and it helped me and her bond really well. It even helped us have our first romantic moments together. I thank you Sherry and it was really nice that you..."

"You were using me to find out about her!" Sherry pointed a finger at Akiza.

"Yes, but you made the first move. You invited me to duel at a party, remember? So, I figured we could talk about Akiza while we were dueling. When we did, I got to duel and find out information about her. It was a two for one and it was a big help."

"Oh! So the blame's on me now?" Sherry asked.

"Why are we blaming each other?" Yusei asked, "Nothing bad came from this!"

"Yes it did!" Sherry said, "You lead me on!"

"How?" Yusei asked.

"You kept dueling me and...and..."

Sherry was stuck and didn't know how to respond.

"I never let you on Sherry. We didn't go out to eat. We didn't talk romantically. We didn't do anything of the sort. This was just a big misunderstanding."

Sherry was in disbelief. All of time and effort she had put into wowing Yusei and trying to convince him that she loved him was for nothing.

"I hope we can still be friends," Yusei noted.

"Friends?" Sherry said angerly, "Why in the world would I want to be friends with you? You made me feel that I was important and that I was the only person that was important to you!"

"I'm sorry Sherry," Yusei said softly, "But I have never felt that way about you and I'm sorry for whatever made you feel that way about me. I don't see or know what I did, but I hope someone can do it again for you. Maybe then, you'll find someone who returns your love, and can make you happy."

Yusei's kind words weren't helping Sherry at all. In fact, she was becoming more and more upset.

"Well, if I can't have you, then nobody can!"

Sherry then charged towards Yusei. He put his hands up, in a desperate attempt at a defense, but Sherry never made it there. Trudge and Mina had slowly made their way up the steps, in case something like this was to happen.

"You're under arrest Sherry," Trudge said.

He pushed her up against the wall.

"Arrest? For what?" Sherry demanded.

"The French government called and said you haven't been paying for some of your bills," Mina said, "So we were ordered to arrest you when they found out that you were in a nearby country."

"Don't struggle," Trudge said as he got his handcuffs on her. He then read Sherry her rights.

Everyone watched as Trudge finally got her in handcuffs and then, Mina and him escorted her out.

Akiza and Yusei stood up at the top of the steps. They weren't sure what to do now. Akiza's parents made their way through the crowd and got up to them.

"Everyone," the senator yelled, "I would like to announce the couple of Yusei and Akiza!"

At first, there was a moment of silence. Suddenly, the crowd cheered in approval. After a minute or so, Akiza's mother then announced, "Now lets get back to the party!" Everyone cheered and went back to their normal party mode.

As Akiza and Yusei went down the steps, they saw two young children. They both had teal hair and one was male, with other female. They held each other's hands, as they made their way up to the new couple.

"Mr. Yusei. Ms. Akiza," the boy said shyly. Akiza and Yusei bended down to their height.

"What is it?" Yusei asked.

"Well, my sister and I were really proud of what you said today. We thought that it was a very good and we were happy that you went against what everyone thinks."

"Yeah," the girl finally said, "We think you make a very cute couple."

Akiza and Yusei smiled. "What are your names?" Akiza asked.

"I'm Luna and this is Leo. We're twins and we live in the tops."

"Well, it's very nice to meet you," Yusei said, "Where are your parents?"

"They aren't around anymore," Leo said, "They said they went on business, but never came back."

"How come we didn't meet you at the beginning?" Akiza asked.

"We were too scared to approach you guys," Luna said, "Besides, you were talking to a bunch of other people anyways."

"Oh, well, we're sorry," Akiza said, "Could we get your number so we can call you whenever you need to talk to someone?"

Leo and Luna looked at one another. "That'd be great," Leo said after a moment.

They exchanged numbers on a pad, that Leo had in his pocket, along with a pen. They then waved to them, as Leo and Luna had to go home.

Once they were out of sight, Trudge and Mina came up to them.

"So, was that the reason you were here tonight?" Yusei asked.

"Um...well...sort of," Trudge said, "Plus I couldn't miss the chance of getting Ms. Izinski's famous meatballs."

Everyone laughed.

"So what were those 'bills' that Sherry didn't pay?" Akiza asked.

"Uh, that's top secret information," Trudge said, "You have to be a special person to get that information."

Akiza dug into a small pocket in her dress and pulled out a $100 bill. She then gave it to Trudge.

"Oh! $100 dollars?" he asked. He then pulled out a stack of folded papers from his back pocket and handed them to Akiza. As Yusei and her looked, Trudge stared at the money.

"Lets see," Akiza said as Yusei and her looked at the list.

"There's a lot of dresses," Yusei noted at some of the items farther down.

"That'd explain all the dresses that she wore once and then got a new one," Akiza noted.

They then stopped at the top one. Or should they say, "Ones."

"Breast implants?" Akiza and Yusei said.

"Oh yeah," Trudge said as he snapped out of what he'll do with the money, "Isn't that the one Sherry made a comment about."

"Yes," Mina said, "Didn't you write it down?"

Trudge nodded and got out his paper pocketbook.

"I was told, by many doctors, that no one could naturally have a chest that large," Trudge read, "So I figured we were having a breast implants race. However, after each and every surgery, Akiza's chest always seemed to be bigger than mine. If I could have gotten one more implant, no matter the cost or problems, then maybe I could have proclaimed that mine were bigger. Then, I'd have every advantage over her and win over any guy I wanted. Akiza would be all alone and have no one to love her."

As Akiza, Trudge, and Mina talked over the other charges, Yusei said he had to visit the men's room. As he walked, he thought to himself.

'Sherry wanted Akiza to be alone and have no one to love her,' he thought, "But I'll make sure that doesn't happen."

A/N: What happened to Sherry will be revealed in the next and final Chapter.

I think you know what's going to happen next, but I hope you'll stick around.

Again, sorry for the delay.
