A/N: Chapter 29!
Sorry that I didn't put this in sooner!
Akiza lied awake in her bed. She couldn't sleep. She was trying to think of a way to soften the blow on Yusei. She didn't want to crush his kind, gentle, heart.
She turned her alarm clock around. It was always too bright for her to sleep with. So, she always turned it around, when she went to sleep.
"1:00," it read.
She turned it back around and then rolled over to her other side.
"If only I can find a way to soften the blow on Yusei," she said quietly.
She thought for a moment.
"Wait! Wasn't there some doctor I saw growing up? Yes, now I remember some of it."
_Akiza's Flashback_
"Mommy? Daddy? Where are we going?" a young Akiza asked.
"We're going to see how much power you have," Akiza's mother answered.
"And to see how much you can control it," her father added firmly.
They walked into a big, tall building. After sitting in a waiting room, for what felt like an hour, they went into a room. A man with dark brown hair opened the door and approached them.
"Hello. My name's Dr. Kinderson. I will be doing the tests on your daughter."
"Thank you sir, you don't know how much this means to us," her father said as he shook the doctor's hand.
"Oh?"
"You see, I need to do this, so that I know how much power my daughter possesses. If it's too much or if she can't control it, it could ruin my chances at getting reelection. You know how much the press tries to find out about people up for election and I don't want this girl to ruin it with her powers."
The doctor felt like he should say something, but didn't.
"Will you come with me?" the doctor asked as he looked at Akiza, "You two can stay here, just to keep the results private."
Akiza took his hand and walked down a long hallway.
"So what's your name?" the doctor asked.
"Akiza, but my dad has another name for me," she said.
"What's that?"
"The Black Rose Witch."
"That doesn't sound very nice," the doctor said sadly.
"It's not. He's always getting upset at me, since he found out that I had these powers."
They got to a room and doctor opened the door.
"Here we are," he said.
The doctor then went to a desk and grabbed some cords.
"What are those?" Akiza asked.
"They will measure your power level and control. Don't worry, it won't hurt. It should just be a pinch."
He put one on her left arm.
"Does that feel okay?"
"Yes, it's just a little pinch."
The doctor then put more cords all over her. They walked over to a box entitled, "Duelist's Area." There were multiple targets about 10 feet from her.
"Okay, you brought your deck right?"
"Yep."
She showed him the deck. He gave her a duel disk and she put it on.
"Okay, now what I want you to do is summon a monster and have them aim for the targets. I'll monitor your progress on this computer."
Akiza did as she was told. When she attacked all the targets, the doctor then printed a bunch of papers.
"You did a great job," he said.
Akiza smiled as he took off the cords and duel disk. They then walked back down the hall.
When they got to the room that her parents were in, Akiza ran up to them.
"Mommy! Daddy! I'm back," Akiza said as she hugged her mother.
"What are the results?" her father asked.
"Well, she has amazing power."
"What about her control of that power?"
"She has good control," the doctor said.
"Only good? How could you only have good control?" her father yelled as he turned to Akiza.
"Sir," the doctor said as he put a hand on his shoulder, "She has good control for someone her age. Besides, she'll get better with age."
"Why? What do you think she'll do when she gets older?"
"Well, I think she'll have incredible power. I think she'll have very good control. In fact..."
He showed him a paper.
"According to these estimates, she could be the most powerful duelist that we've ever seen."
"What about her control?"
"She'll have very good control..."
Her Dad grabbed the paper. The estimates were based on rankings against the other people that were tested.
Power Ranking Estimate: 1/ Estimated 20,000 worldwide
Control Ranking Estimate: 200/ Estimated 20,000 worldwide
"200th? 200th?" her father asked.
"Sir, that's in the top 1%. You normally don't see people like this. Most people, that I've seen, are very powerful, but don't have good control. It's also the opposite with good control and bad power. Besides, these are only estimates."
"Still, she could hurt someone! I knew it! You are a witch! This is all your fault!"
He pointed to Akiza
Akiza looked on as her mother and father gave her an evil glare.
The doctor looked on with a sad face.
_End Akiza's Flashback_
"I remember visiting that place a few more times. I kept improving with the tests and the doctor was very nice to me," Akiza said.
"Unlike my parents," she thought, "I wonder what happened to him. Is he still in the business? If he is, I could be tested again and maybe Yusei won't be so upset at me. Plus, he might still feel some sympathy for me."
Akiza closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The next day, when Akiza got to school, she told Yusei that she'll be going in the library before their first class.
"Uh, okay," Yusei said in a confused tone.
Akiza and Yusei went in and both logged in. Yusei started looking up duel runner information and Akiza went to a search engine.
She typed in "Dr. Kinderson." The first link went to a profile on him.
"Wow! Is that what he looks like now?" Akiza thought.
His dark brown hair was now starting to gray and he looked older. Of course, it had been many years.
Akiza, as quickly as she could, wrote down the address and phone number on scratch piece of paper. She slipped it into her uniform pocket.
Later that day...
Akiza, after school, took the phone while Yusei was in the shower. She scheduled a appointment with the doctor the next day after school.
The next day...
Akiza told Yusei, as they walked to their first class, that she was going to stay after. She didn't say where though.
"Do you want me to pick you up?" Yusei asked.
"No, it's okay. I'll be fine," she told him.
Yusei was concerned, but shrugged it off.
When school had ended, Akiza waited to make sure Yusei left on the bus. When the buses left, Akiza walked a few blocks to the building she had written down. She then sat in the not-so-familiar waiting room.
"This looks different than what I remember," she thought. The room was still white, but the seats were in a different direction. Plus, there were more plants in the room.
Akiza was directed to a waiting room and the doctor came in. He looked much different than what Akiza had remembered. He looked older and now had glasses.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Akiza! Remember me?"
"Oh Akiza," he said as they shook hands, "It's been so long and look how much you've grown. Where are your parents?"
"They are too busy," Akiza lied, "I just walked here."
"Okay, well, it seems we'll be doing a power and control test," the doctor said, "Follow me."
Akiza walked down a hallway to a much different room.
"I don't remember this room," Akiza said.
"Yeah, we made it quite a few years ago. I see that you already have a duel disk, so you can just walk up to the dueling area."
"Where are all the cords that you use to put on me?" Akiza asked as she stepped into a "Duelist's Area."
"Oh, those are long gone. We now have cameras and much higher technology that can measure your powers. Plus, it's much more accurate."
Akiza stepped up and did the tasks that were required.
"We don't need to go back to the waiting room," the doctor said when they were done, "Since it's just you."
He printed and handed her the results.
"Well, it seems as expected, you have turned out to be the most powerful psychic duelist in the world."
"The world?" Akiza asked.
"Yes, now we can compare your power levels to everyone in the world instantly. Plus, your ranked 20th in control. I know your father will still be upset you're not #1 in both. However, it's better than what we were estimating for you back in the day."
Akiza smiled.
"Thank you so much doctor! I'll take the papers."
The shook hands again and the doctor lead her out. She waved goodbye to him and then started walking home. She slipped the papers in her schoolbag.
When she got home, Yusei was helping the twins with their homework.
"There you are Akiza. I was getting worried," Yusei said.
"Oh, don't worry Yusei. I'm fine."
"Did you get everything that you needed to get done?" he asked.
"Oh yes," she replied happily.
"Great job!"
He game her a thumbs up.
"Thanks Yusei. I'll help you when I put this away."
She went to her room and looked at the papers.
"I just hope that this can help me not break that wonderful man's heart," she thought.
She then put the papers in a extra folder she had lying around and put the folder under her bed.
A/N: I'm sorry this Chapter's slow, but it's very important to the storyline. I hope no one's upset.
