Chapter 29

A/N: A lot more faithshipping in this Chapter and a tender moment for Yusei and Akiza.

KaiFudo16: Thanks for the review! I'm sure Yusei's caught Akiza looking a few times at him.

drytacos: I would love to, but since you don't have a profile, I can't PM you. Plus, if you did have one, you could get alerts/e-mails every time I posted a new Chapter. Until you have a physical profile, there's nothing I can do. Sorry.

As Akiza got packed up to head back to school, she remembered that Yusei wanted her to visit before she left. Akiza instantly knew that he was going to smother her with goodbye kisses and hugs and say the usual "check in whenever you want" speech. It may be routine for the couple to do, especially now that they had done it a few times, but both enjoyed it none the less. Once Akiza was sure she had everything, she headed off to the Tops, thinking about the past summer.

Yusei had come over often just to say hello, but he would usually stick around for him to be offered to stay for supper. Yusei always ate whatever Akiza's mother prepared, even if Akiza knew he wasn't a fan of BBQ ribs. To be honest, Akiza heard his stomach rumble about an hour later and Akiza offered to go out for ice cream, to help him have something in his stomach. Yusei and Akiza both had a banana split and Akiza enjoyed watching him gobble down the split like it wasn't even there. Yusei came over to he place, but Akiza also came over to his apartment just as often. They had gone out with the twins a few times, who lived just across the hall, but most of the time Akiza and Yusei were left alone. Akiza preferred having time alone with Yusei, as it let them be much more intimate. Yusei would give her a hug, kiss, or some kind of affection constantly. At first, Akiza hadn't been used to so much affection, due to her past and what she had known about Yusei's personality.

But now, Akiza and Yusei couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Yusei loved to give her a kiss on the cheek and then whisper a sweet phrase like, "I love you" into her ear. Akiza loved returning the gesture and it was fun to just stare into each other's eyes or just cuddle together, without a word being said. Those moments were the best, as Akiza knew that she would probably get a few more, before she had to head back for Germany. As Akiza walked, she remembered that Yusei said that he had a surprise for her. Akiza thought that meant that he was going to kiss her or something, but maybe it meant something else. She quickened her pace and quickly arrived at the Tops.

When Yusei opened the door, Akiza was met with a smile on Yusei's face. "Hey Akiza! Come on in!" Akiza took a step inside and Yusei shut the door. Before Akiza could go any further, Yusei wrapped in a hug and sighed happily. Akiza quickly returned the hug as Yusei told her that he loved her. "I love you too," Akiza replied and gave Yusei a kiss on the cheek. Yusei and Akiza smiled at one another for a moment, before Yusei took his right arm off of her and they walked towards the couch. Akiza took a seat and Yusei gave her another kiss. Akiza smiled and turned to him. "So what's this big surprise?" Akiza asked. "Oh! You want to do that now?" Akiza quickly felt guilty. "No! It's not that! We can do it whenever you want Yusei." Yusei got up. "It's okay. Lets do it right now." Yusei got up and picked up a small white box. "I didn't think it was a physical gift," Akiza replied as Yusei sat down, "I thought that it'd be more...um..." Yusei laughed. "Don't worry Akiza. We'll do everything we normally do, but I'm actually kind of glad that you mentioned this. It would be better to do it, before we...well, you know." Akiza reached for the box, but Yusei pulled it back.

"Before we start, I just want to explain why I got this for you." Akiza smiled and retracted her hands. "I remembered you saying that you'll start working on your degree this semester and one of those things is working in a hospital as a student teacher type thing." Akiza nodded and remembered telling him about her upcoming classes. "You also mentioned that you'll have a small office space, so I thought I'd give you something to put in it." Akiza smiled as Yusei held the gift out for her to take. Akiza accepted it. "Well thank you Yusei. That's very considerate of you." Akiza then opened the unwrapped white box. When she took the lid off and sloppily folded tissue paper, she was stunned to see a photo.

The photo was a picture of all of their friends winning the WRGP and celebrating together in Victory Lane. Akiza smiled and turned to Yusei. "Wow! I never expected this! Thank you Yusei!" She gave him a kiss as she wrapped him in a brief hug. Yusei chuckled. "Yeah. I ask your mom if you had a picture of that and she said no. So I thought I'd give you one. It lets you know that all of your friends are supporting you Akiza." Akiza nodded. "Right. Thank you again Yusei. That was really sweet of you." As Akiza looked back at the photo, she then asked Yusei a question.

"Don't you have this picture too?" Akiza asked. Yusei nodded. "Yeah. It's with my friendship shrine. Come on. I'll show it to you." Akiza had never seen Yusei's "friendship shrine" before, despite being at his house numerous times. She set the picture back in the box as Yusei led Akiza to a small room by a large window. There sat Bruno's vizor's, the WRGP trophy, and the exact same photo that Akiza now had in her possession. After closer examination, Akiza noticed that the picture frame for Yusei was exactly the same as the one she had. "Yusei. You have the same picture frame as me." Yusei nodded. "I know. I did that on purpose. That way, we both have something that's the same, even when you're overseas learning how to become a doctor." Akiza leaned in and gave Yusei another kiss on the cheek. "Plus," Yusei added, "I didn't want to have a better frame than you and look like a jerk saying that I deserved a better picture frame than you." Akiza rolled her eyes, as it was no big deal to her.

Still, this was the first time, in a long time, that she had seen the WRGP championship trophy. Akiza picked it up and Yusei stood by her side. "Remember when we won that?" Yusei asked and Akiza nodded. The two of them then recalled the victory celebration.

_They Recall_

Before Yusei and his friends went up to face ZONE they decided to have something good to celebrate, before having to go do something so serious. That meant celebrating their WRGP victory, which they all worked very hard on. They were all given a small bottle of champagne, but since they were all underage, they had to promise not to drink it. Of course, the exception went to Jack, since he wasn't going to be denied a shot at alcohol, and Bruno since they didn't know his age, but he looked old enough. Plus, the organizers didn't think that people who were so young would win, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Sure enough, Leo, Luna, and Akiza all kept the bottles from touching their lips, as they sprayed each other wildly with the bubbly liquid. Crow was a little more reserved with Bruno and they snuck a few sips in here and there. Jack, meanwhile, tried to save as much as he could, as he wanted to get his first real taste of liquor. When the photo was taken, Leo had wrestled the bottle from his sister, douching her with a spray. Jack opened his bottle, but kept his thumb on it, to keep from losing the valuable drink. Yusei held the trophy in his hands, as Crow and Bruno celebrated in a much calmer demeanor. We pick it up, just as the photo was being taken.

A snapshot of a camera showed the team celebrating. As Akiza's spray went high into the air, the twins and Yusei were showered in a misty spray. Yusei had been keeping a eye on Akiza, as she was laughing and celebrating. She went up to Yusei with her bottle in hand. "Come on Yusei! You're barely wet! Lets get you soaked!" Yusei set the trophy down as Akiza chased after him. Everyone stopped to watch as Akiza got Yusei cornered, before unleashing the rest of her container on him. Yusei could hear Akiza laughing and he would been sprayed for a million years, if it meant he kept getting to hear her laugh.

Everyone else looked at one another and Crow rolled his eyes. Bruno even knew that something was up. Despite "love" not being in the cyborg's files, Jack and Crow explained it to him, when Yusei was not around. After observing with both their information and what he knew about Yusei, it was clear that Akiza and Yusei were much bigger than just friends. Leo and Luna turned to one another and knew what was going on too. Even Leo, who hated love, wanted to see Yusei and Akiza get together. It would be really cool to see their big brother/big sister or possibly mother/father role models end up together. Yusei and Akiza kept laughing, even after they were both dripping wet in the sticky liquid. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Could they get any more bloody obvious?" he asked as he took a sip from his bottle.

Later, they were all ready to go home. Even though they had a big task in front of them, they wanted a chance to celebrate the moment a little while longer. When Jack asked if Yusei wanted his bottle of champagne, Yusei decline. Jack got a knowing smile and put his hands on his hips. "Don't you want to drench Akiza as payback for earlier?" Yusei turned to Akiza, who still had a few drops dripping from her hair, as Leo and Luna had also drenched the two of them. "That's okay," Yusei replied, "We're both pretty wet." Jack pushed the bottle in his face. "Then why don't you drink some of it?" Yusei's face firmed up. "No thanks," Yusei replied, "Besides, I'm under-aged." Yusei had tasted a few drops of the liquid after being sprayed and admitted that it tasted pretty decent. Still, even at that point and in the future, Yusei had no desires to drink alcohol. Still, Jack was the complete opposite. "You can never let go and have fun," Jack replied and took the screwable cap off, "Suit yourself." He then took a huge gulp of the bottle.

Later, they all were going to walk home together. With the extra bottle of champagne, Jack had too much to drink, so they wanted to make sure he didn't drive home. Akiza's parents and the twins called for people to take their runners home, as they wanted to leave together as a group. For Jack, it was especially tough and Crow tried to have Jack lean on him. "Come on big boy! We're going home," Crow said as he tried to get Jack to lean on his shoulder. Jack was so intoxicated, that he slouched over, as if he had no energy. Crow struggled and finally looked to the group for help. "Come on Yusei! Help me out here!" Yusei turned to him and then looked away. "I can't," Yusei replied, "I have to hold the trophy. Besides, I'm not very strong. Have Bruno do it. He's bigger and stronger than me." Bruno shook his head. "I can't," he replied, "I don't feel so good." In truth, the robot had consumed some of the champagne and it wasn't doing too well with his circuits. Crow looked at Yusei and shouted.

"Come on Yusei! Stop being such a trophy hog! You've been the one to spend the most time with it! Let someone else carry it home and help me out over here!" Leo got excited. "Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me!" Leo cried with a hand raised. Yusei didn't hear him, as he turned towards Akiza, who was standing to his left. "Here," Yusei offered as he held the trophy out for her, "Why don't you take it?" Akiza was stunned. "Really?" Yusei nodded and smiled at her.

"Aww!" Leo cried and Crow rolled his eyes again. Akiza still wasn't sure if she was worthy of carrying it. "Are you sure Yusei?" He nodded. "You've earned this trophy just as much as I have. You were part of our team Akiza and I know that I can trust you with it." Akiza smiled as she gently took the silver and gold cupped trophy. "Thank you Yusei." The two of them smiled at one another for a moment, before a drunken Jack ruined the moment.

"I want to go home now my orange haired mommy!" Jack cried. Crow looked upset a him. "I am not your mommy!" Crow hollered, "Yusei come help me out." Yusei gave one more smile at Akiza, before going over, and resting Jack's left side on his shoulders. They soon made their way down the street, as Jack continued to mutter and scream. "I'm the best in this entire world and you are my servants!" Jack cried. Yusei looked over and watched as Akiza held onto the trophy. She was examining it closely and Yusei was able to mostly drown out Jack's crying and screaming.

She looked beautiful walking with it in her hands and it caused Yusei to, at the time, show a rare smile. Yusei knew that all the victories, trophies, and prize money in the world couldn't give him a fraction of the happiness he would have if he was able to win Akiza's heart. He smiled and knew that one day, he was going to be with her.

_End Flashback_

Yusei and Akiza had remembered the moment as Akiza set the trophy back down. "It sure is a nice shrine," Akiza commented, "Thank you for showing it to me." She gave Yusei a kiss. "Your welcome," he replied. Yet, Yusei knew that this wasn't the only shrine he was going to have. Another one was going to be made and would make this one look like it wasn't worthy of being a here at all. He led her back to the living room and the two of them talked some more. "Never give up and continue to smile Akiza," Yusei said sweetly to her, "You have the most beautiful smile in the entire world."

Across the hall, Luna and Dexter were talking as well. Luna held out the photos of herself and the two of them together. "Here Dexter. I hope you'll keep these in a special place." Dexter nodded. "I will. Thank you so much Luna." Luna smiled back. "You're very welcome Dexter." He soon headed out and had a tough time not looking back at how beautiful Luna looked in her swimsuit.

Still, Luna was much more than a pretty girl to look at and Dexter knew this over the next few months. High school was better than junior high was and, while he got called "Choc Craz" every once in a while, it wasn't nearly as bad as the years before. Luna told him that it was probably due to almost everyone having gone through puberty. Still, even with the less bullying, Luna and Leo stayed in touch and supported Dexter along the way.

For Akiza, she was using all the support she could get. This semester was harder than any other and Yusei made sure to support her in any way possible. Akiza sighed as she sat at her tiny little office space after her first day of classes. She looked at the picture Yusei gave her and remembered Yusei's words. "Never give up and continue to smile Akiza. You have the most beautiful smile in the world." Akiza then remembered that Yusei kissed her lovingly after those words and she could feel Yusei's lips on her own. Akiza managed a smile. 'Okay. I won't give up!' Akiza thought to herself.

Akiza worked as hard as she could and met with teachers after class. It was nice that one of her teachers spoke very fluent English, so talking with her was very easy. "You seem like such a good student," Ms. Irshlat replied, "So is there someone really supporting you? Especially since you live across the Atlantic?" Akiza nodded. "My parents of course," Akiza replied, "But I have a boyfriend that is always in touch and wants to know how I'm doing. He's been the most influential person in my life and I love him so much."

Still, even with Yusei's support, Akiza became worried about how she was going to do. Going into each test, she worried about how difficult it was going to be, despite a couple hours of studying. For Akiza, she had to go to a local hospital to just watch and learn about giving some of the more basic things in being a doctor. Still, this was the part that Akiza was focused on the most, as this is what she really wanted to do. The doctor was female, with thick, round glasses. Akiza was only with her, when she dealt with female patients, as the doctor didn't want the male ones being distracted by Akiza's extremely large bust. Still, Akiza wore a lose fitting coat, to try to hide her chest, which even then was difficult. Akiza enjoyed the time out of the classroom and the doctor ended up giving her an easy A for working with her.

Akiza didn't do nearly as good in her other classes and Yusei kept feeling a though he was being a bad boyfriend. Crow and Jack both were well on their way to winning titles, with Sherry winning a event after her first few attempts. Leo was going to try for his license and Akiza felt as though everyone else was having a good time, while she was struggling. Yusei tried to keep encouraging her, but it seemed to have less of a effect than before. When Akiza came home, Yusei wanted to give her a night out, just for themselves. As soon as Akiza arrived, Yusei and her family were there to meet her. After Yusei handed her a bouquet of red roses, Yusei guided her to the exit. Akiza looked on, as Martha and her parents looked on. They took her luggage, saying that Akiza wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Yusei, where are we going?" Yusei smiled. "We're going to go on a date," he replied, "We'll go home together and you'll get dressed. Afterwards, we'll be going out to eat." Akiza smiled. "I liked that idea," she replied and the two of them shared a brief kiss. Yusei brought her to a limo outside, on a cold, sunny day. Akiza climbed in, with only Yusei behind her. The driver then headed off, once they both put on their seat belts. "So how was Finals?" Yusei asked. Akiza's bright, cheerful face turned sour. "Okay," Akiza replied, "I passed all my classes, but I didn't do as well as I thought I could."

"Did you try your hardest?" Yusei asked and Akiza nodded. Yusei leaned over and kissed the right side of her head. Akiza looked somberly up at him. "That's all I ask Akiza is that you do your best. Don't worry about being perfect. Besides, many people graduate college without perfect or even great GPA's and still could end up with the same job as you." Akiza nodded as Yusei wrapped his left arm around. "If you ever need someone to comfort you. I'm always here for you Akiza." Akiza blushed briefly as the limo continued on home. When they got there, Yusei held her hand to the door. "I'll pick you up at 7," Yusei replied, "Try to wear something formal." Akiza nodded and Yusei got back into the limo, which would help him not have to walk in the bitterly cold weather.

Later, Akiza had gotten ready in a dark red dress. Yusei had arrived in a button up red shirt and black pants. Yusei admired Akiza, as she slowly walked down the steps. Akiza eyed Yusei watching her, just like she had told Luna a few months back. Still, Akiza liked showing off for Yusei, because with his gaze on her, she got to look at him as well. Once Akiza made it down the steps, Yusei and Akiza both had to, unfortunately, hide their outfits under heavy coats, as it was going to get well below freezing. Yusei again took her hand and a limo was waiting for them. In truth, Yusei enjoyed getting to be such vehicles, as he was getting used to being driven around by somebody else. Akiza watched out the window, with occasional breaks for kisses and one arm hugs with Yusei. Akiza smiled once she saw the place they were going to.

"The Spaghetti Maker?" Akiza asked and Yusei nodded. "I was hoping that taking you back to our first date could help cheer you up. Plus, we mentioned our first date a little while back, and we haven't been able to come back here in quite a while." Akiza smiled as she got out and Yusei was there to guide her inside. The dinner was delicious, just like their first date. Yusei and Akiza sweet talked through out, giving each other compliments along the way. Yusei then took her hand and the driver took them home. Instead of just going inside and leaving, Akiza wanted Yusei to stay.

"Why don't you come inside?" Akiza offered, "Besides, we didn't get a chance to kiss yet." Yusei thought he knew what that meant, but his lack of romance caused him to think out loud. "Does that mean we're going to make out?" Yusei asked. Akiza couldn't help, but laugh.

"Yes Yusei." Yusei thought about it for a moment. "Yes!" he cried as he raised his hands in the air. Akiza couldn't stop herself and laughed again. When they made it inside, Akiza's parents and Martha were still home. They were sitting downstairs and talking. "Crap," Akiza and Yusei both muttered as they were inside. Akiza grabbed Yusei's hand and took him up the stairs. "You're not going to do anything inappropriate are you?" Mr. Izinski asked as his wife and Martha watched them get to the top of the stairs. "No Dad!" Akiza replied. "We'll keep our clothes on," Yusei added. Martha had some less formal clothing for Yusei. "If you'd like, you could change into this," Martha suggested. Yusei went back downstairs and took the clothes from her. "I'll go get dressed," Yusei noted. Akiza replied that she would too and their parents nodded. Once he was changed, Yusei waited outside the bathroom, until Akiza's bedroom door opened, and they made their way inside Akiza's room. Yusei felt very awkward and felt his desire to make out with Akiza decrease. Akiza sat down on her bed and Yusei sat down next to her.

"Um...Yusei," Akiza said nervously. Yusei quickly pulled her close. "Yes Akiza?" Akiza looked downward. "I...don't want to make out. It'd feel so wrong to do it here and with our parents thinking we might take advantage of the situation." Yusei breathed a sigh of relief. "I totally agree," Yusei replied, "I'm happy you feel the same way." Yusei and Akiza smiled as they hugged and had a very brief kiss.

"So...what do you want to do?" Yusei asked. Akiza shrugged. "We can watch TV." Yusei thought that sounded good. There was a re-run of a TV show that Yusei and Akiza both enjoyed, that would air at the top of the hour. Airing before it was a crime show. Akiza and Yusei watched as the police were trying to arrest a guy. Akiza felt uneasy as they tried to tackle the guy, to stop him from getting away. Akiza looked over at Yusei, who didn't seem bothered by what was on screen. 'Maybe it's due to his upraising,' Akiza thought. She continued to watch as they finally got the criminal and he screamed in pain. Akiza looked at Yusei and saw the yellow mark on his cheek. Akiza couldn't take it anymore. She felt like the man on screen could have been like Yusei at one point. She knew Yusei's crime wasn't on the books anymore and wasn't as severe as what the man on screen did, but she still feared what Yusei had gone through. He had only told her the basics of what had happened. Akiza leaned forward and hugged Yusei.

"I'm sorry Yusei!" Akiza cried as she buried her face into his side."Akiza! What are you..." He looked down and saw Akiza in tears. She looked frightened and Yusei could tell that something was wrong. He turned off the TV, to give his full attention to his girlfriend. "Akiza! What's wrong?" Yusei asked. Akiza managed to look at him. "I'm...so sorry Yusei." Yusei was stunned. "Sorry? For what? If it's because we didn't make out, it's okay. I got to go on a great date with you tonight and that made me so happy." Akiza shook her head. "No! It's not that! It's just..." Akiza thought for a moment as she was still crying tears.

"I'm sorry you had to go the facility Yusei! You must have been in a ton of pain and it must have been scary being with all those other criminals." She put her fingers on Yusei's yellow mark. "You got this mark and people have looked at you as a criminal who did terrible things! I'm sure, even now, some people still don't trust you! I just wish I could take away all of the pain and suffering you had to live through. I'm so sorry!" Yusei hugged girlfriend as she leaned onto his lean chest, before finally leaning over a shoulder. Yusei remained silent like always, letting Akiza cry every last drop out of her eyes. She kept muttering that she was sorry and Yusei gently rubbed her back. Once Akiza had calmed down, Yusei waited until Akiza leaned back to look at him. Her beautiful brown eyes were red and she looked so sad. It made Yusei even more determined to make her smile again.

"Akiza. First of all, my time in the Facility was not as bad as on TV or in the movies. I was only in there a few days. A few days! I've had colds last longer than that. Second, I wasn't all alone. I made friends in the Facility, Bolt Tanner and Tenzen, plus Blister as well. Third of all, while there was some pain..." Akiza gasped. "When did that happen?" Yusei tried to remember. "There was a tiny bit when I got my mark, when I dueled this bad security guard that was fired afterwards..."

"I thought dueling wasn't allowed in the Facility," Akiza noted. Yusei nodded. "Yeah, it was. Although, everyone gave me a card and we built a deck. Tells you just how good of friends I made. Plus, Trudge said that inmates can now use decks and duel disks that are donated. They can buy them with the money that the good ones make doing jobs. Fights in the Facility are at a all-time low, now that people can take any arguments out with a deck and not a person. Trudge was the one who came up with the idea." Akiza managed a smile. "And that's one of the things you really emphasize. Don't ya Yusei?" He nodded. "Yes. Using your words or a deck is always a better idea than using your fist." Akiza's smile suddenly went away. "What other pain did you have to go through Yusei?" Yusei was hesitant, but knew he had to tell her the truth.

"Trudge didn't let me have my runner back, so I had to sneak into the compound area. When I did, the officers managed to attack me. After that, I had some brief amnesia, which the twins helped me get back. You know the rest of the story." Akiza gasped and held onto Yusei even tighter. "Is there anything else?" Yusei thought for a moment. "No. That's just about it." Akiza's arms didn't let go of Yusei as she spoke. "Oh Yusei. You had to endure not only all that, but..." She gently rubbed where his marker was. "This mark. A sign that you committed a crime. Maybe you should get that marker removal service that they offer to former inmates. You must look at it everyday and wish that it was gone, just like I did with my Signer mark." Yusei put his arms firmly around Akiza and looked her in the eyes.

"No Akiza. I thank you for the suggestion, but I don't want my mark removed." Akiza was stunned. "Why not?" Yusei smiled.

"Well, if it wasn't for me getting my mark and going to the Facility, I might have never met Blister, Bolt, or Tenzen. Granted, I barely see them anymore, I still made friends. Second, if it wasn't for going to Facility, I might have never met the twins Leo and Luna. They're two of my best friends in the entire world. They carried my up to their apartment and helped me get my memory back. They turned out to be Signers as well and they both helped out when it came to fighting ZONE and the Dark Signers. But all that combined can't make up for the the number one and most important reason why I've kept my mark." Akiza tried to figure it out, but couldn't. "Why is that?" she asked aloud.

"Because, without my mark and going to the Facility, I might have never met you." Yusei pulled Akiza into a tight hug. "You. The most beautiful woman in the world." Yusei then sighed happily as he gently shock Akiza back and forth. "Mmmm-mphhh!" He then leaned back and Akiza looked at him. She had a surprised look on her face, but Yusei had an open mouth smile on his. "Whenever I look at my mark, I always think of you Akiza. Without it, I might have never gotten the chance to become friends with you and helped you out. I might have never had the chance to fall in love with you and become your boyfriend." Akiza blushed. "But what about all the pain you endured?" Yusei had an answer. "It has all been taken away, just by seeing a single smile on your face." Akiza couldn't help, but reflect that smile right back at Yusei.

"See? Now all that pain was worth it." Akiza giggled. "Are you sure Yusei?" He nodded. "I'm 100% sure Akiza. Plus, don't forget, the crime I committed is no longer a law and my marker hasn't tracked me for years. So, it's now just a sign. A good sign Akiza and that is why I don't have my marker removed. It's what one thing lead to another that brought us together and it's a sign that I'll always have with me. My marker always reminds me of you Akiza. A person that I hold very close to my heart." Akiza's sadness had finally passed. Knowing now that Yusei's mark was a good thing in his eyes and it was a sign of herself made Akiza now look at it in a different light. The two of them shared a kiss on the lips, but refrained from taking it any further.

"Well, now that you know the whole story and that it's not as bad you thought," Yusei replied. "But, doesn't watching those TV shows or movies bother you at all?" Akiza asked, "I mean, you didn't seem phased when we were watching that show before?" Yusei shook his head. "No, because I know I'm not even half the criminal they are. The crimes they committed are far worse. My record has been wiped clean of any crimes, since the new law took effect, and I only broke the law that one time. Besides, I've never had an interest in those types of shows or movies anyways. I never watch them, not because it brings back bad memories, but I just don't care for them." Akiza gave Yusei a kiss on the cheek, happy to know that her boyfriend wasn't even close to the criminal some people thought he was.

"Hey! Our show is on right now!" Yusei said aloud as he pointed to Akiza's alarm clock. "Turn it on!" Akiza encouraged him, as their attention turned to the screen.

A/N: I had some trouble with the ending, but I managed to figure one out.

The second and final Chapter of "Not What I Expected" will be up within the next few days. Be on the lookout for it!

I hope you enjoyed the YuseixAkiza fluff and I hope you enjoyed this Chapter.
