Aki laid in her bed, she had snuggled up against Yusei the night before after her tattoo had stopped glowing. Yusei had wrapped his arms around her waist as he was still fast asleep. Aki felt the warmth of their naked bodies pressed against each other before falling back asleep. She didn't want to imagine this kind of comfortable because they weren't in an actual relationship. They only had sex because it's what both of them desired to fulfill their lustful desires. Aki could feel heat coming from her face as her imagination pondered to the passionate night the two shared. She simply just told herself he was incredible in bed was all. And it was part of the reason she wanted to continue having sex with her friend.
Even though Aki couldn't help it as she looked at her sexual partner as he slept peacefully. It was really the first time that she began to see him a bit different. That he had this certainly aglow that made her drawn to him. And she knew it wasn't because of love, it was the last thing on her mind. He couldn't possibly love a woman like her; it would be far beneath his standers. Especially being the leader of a powerful and feared gang. He had even mentioned to her in the past that he had been with millions of other women. So she would be no different from any of them. Aki knew given herself to him would be a mistaken when she had first agreed. She was basically selling herself to him like a prostitute for protection. It was something she had hated herself for. After all Yusei was beyond attractive that girls would compete for his affections.
Aki knew it was different between them as she got to know him in the last few months. The closer they had become the more she wanted to be around Yusei. She had grown to care about even though she refused to use terms such as lover, sweetheart or even his girlfriend. Certainly that would be improper to their type of relationship. In her mind, this wasn't a professional to address each other in such a matter. Aki believed this was nothing more than a fling between the two of them. Yusei was after all a "bad boy" so he wasn't the type to be in love with one ordinary girl. Though she wondered if this was something she just kept telling herself. She was just making one excuse after another to really avoid her feelings on the matter.
She could feel his arm on his waist as her fingertips pressed against Yusei's bare chest. The warmth of their bodies pressed together as it was the positions they fell asleep in after their night of lovemaking. Aki just never really bothered because the pain of was too much for her. That she was in a relationship that consisted nothing more than just fooling around. Part of her heart ached as she with held her tears, Aki closed her eyes- was this relationship solely based on sex? Even though they had spent the night talking, this did bring them closer. And now Aki had gained more trust in her partner. Something she never thought would be possible. Perhaps it was because of her life as a Politician's daughter.
Ever since she was a child, Aki always had to remain a proper young lady. That didn't mean that she wasn't so innocent to see that people were using her. It's all people ever wanted from her family because of their wealth and fame. It was even worse when she discovered her psychic powers during attempted attack on the family when she was eight years. It scared her, to the point Aki didn't want to acknowledge them. And she thought that people would manipulate her because of it as well. These were abilities she didn't even want to begin with. So the best situation was for her to hide them, even from her own parents. They had viewed her being alive as a 'miracle'. After all how she could possibly explain something out of the ordinary to the people who raised you?
Aki only had a few friends during her childhood that cared for her. And there were people that had kept her companion such as Divine. That he said he would be there for her when she needed it. But now that she looked back on it, even back then he was just trying to get on his good side. After all she was only twelve year old when he was saying these things. You could see it as an older brother figure assuring his younger sister at least that was his intention at the time. But he was preparing for the future by talking to his father about making him his wife for all she knew. It made her cringe at the thought of even kissing him. Even if arranged marriage had been set up between them, she had never showed any interest in Divine. And she would have run away from home and even was destined to have met Team Satisfaction. That Yusei was really always meant to be a positive part of her life.
Aki had looked over at Yusei all she knew was that despite his perverted nature. He had always had her best interest at heart from the moment they met. Yusei had cared for her more than anyone, well only second to her father. Yes, she originally thought it was just so he could have sex with her. But the night they spent talking to each other had changed things. They had become more honest with each other, he even admitted that the reason he first agreed is because she was beautiful woman. It was easier to assume she didn't have much 'fun' due to her wealthy lifestyle, especially when he thought rich people did that sort of thing as a practice even if they were already in a relationship, even those that were married. They were even paid off to keep their silence on their sexual activities by giving them money. This was something that Aki disagreed with since she wasn't that type of girl.
Yusei did believe her words, it brought a smile to her face due to the trust they shared. And as a result the lovemaking had only increased their arousal and passion for each other. She had to confess her reason for wanting to have sex with him even though she didn't like him. It was because when she first met him, Aki had found him attractive and wanted to experience sex with someone that was good looking. She had hated herself for being so selfish and not even considering waiting for her first time. But her relationship with Yusei has changed so much and Aki had admitted she had been glad to start a sexual relationship with him. That their friendship had become very valuable and to cement it by telling him nearly all her secrets. It was something that was very important to her.
The time was already 6:05am and Aki knew that both of them had to sneak out before anyone saw them. Even though Yusei had told her that a lot of people had sex in the places that were the gang's hangouts. So no one would even notice as long as they kept it quiet. Their relationship was a sworn secret that no one could find out. So they won't have that embarrassment like last time, but Aki still knew that Crow and his friends would talk about them. As they apparently get very loud when their passionate in their lovemaking. Why was it so hard for them to say quiet? I mean she was not use to have all this attention from a guy that was so indifferent towards her. Aki had originally just thought he was the same as any other guy she met, who just wanted her body. Yusei wanted to be her friend and he was her first real one. She could feel an overwhelming of emotions that she didn't seem to understand as Aki watched him sleep.
She believed there was no future between the two of them. Aki still wanted to cherish every moment with him. As she just wanted to enjoy the time both of them shared. After all it was going to end when her father was found. Especially since they were of two social classes, so the possibility of having sex wouldn't work. All she knew was they had to talk again even if it was early in the morning. Telling him about the secrets she kept hiding was very important, especially when she has told no one about her tattoo. She reached out her hand to touch Yusei's face as she leaned in and places a kiss on his lips. Aki had quickly backed away as tried to cope on what she just did. But she didn't understand why she had this sudden need to kiss him?
Yusei opened his eyes as she looked at the beautiful woman that was wrapped in his arms. Both of their naked bodies were pressed together with sense of comfort and delight. The smell of her perfume still lingered on the bed sheets. He had markings of lip stick on his neck and chest with the clear indications on where she had kissed him the previous night. Both of them remembered that they had quickly started to undress each other as they only really seem to have sex on their minds. Maybe for her, it was to keep her promise and because he had come to her rescue with Divine. It only had made her more aroused by his embrace. At the time she wanted him more than anything as she wanted comfort in kissing her friend her hatred for Divine.
"Good morning, Beautiful." Yusei complimented Aki, she could feel heat rush to her face as her eyes met his cobalt blue ones. He had given her a smile that prevented her from moving as Aki could feel weak at the knees. It was strange, he had called her that nickname in the past but she never had this reaction before. Why did it make her heart race when he said it this time? Aki had kept telling herself that she had no romantic feelings for him. It was from the lingering feelings of sex from the night before.
"Morning Yusei." Aki replied as she had remained snuggled up against Yusei. Her head had rested on his bare chest as she could feel his warm hands stroke her back then to her exposed breasts. She had let out a moan in delight at the feeling that had made her want more. It was more like he was taunting with her as their naked bodies were pressed together, half under the bed sheets. "I hope you had a good night sleep." She had given off a sheepish smile due to being down on herself. Thoughts began to enter her mind on what would Yusei think of her if she told him about her tattoo. Aki had backed away a bit so she wouldn't be distracted when he touched her. Her long hair was drooped over her shoulder as she began to stroke it with her hands.
"Is there anything wrong?" Yusei questioned as he looks over at Aki in confusion. Why did she suddenly back away from him? Was she not enjoying their interactions as he was touching her? No, he shook his head because Yusei could see the pleasure in his girlfriend's face when he stroked her body with his hands. There had to be something else that was bothering her. Maybe it had to do with the previous night as she woke up in the middle of the night. "Is this about the nightmare you had last night? Because I am here for you Aki. You don't have to hide anything from me." He softly told her as he attempted to reach out and touch her shoulder, just reach out and hold her in his arms. Yusei wanted nothing more to make her problems go away but he didn't know how too. "I can't help you with your problem if you can't confide in me. I promise this would be only between the two of us."
Aki hadn't replied back to Yusei right away, she didn't know how to respond. She could tell he was being nothing but sincere in his words. Maybe it was because she had no one that really cared for her like the way he did. After all it just wasn't something she was use too. Tears had streamed down her cheeks but Aki didn't understand why she was crying? Not even aware that Yusei had wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close. Just gently stroking her back telling her 'everything will be okay' as he whispered those words into her ear. It was very soothing as her tears had started to dry up. The feeling of being in the darkness was shattered by a light that she could follow. It only had assured her more that Yusei could be trusted with her secret. This was a very big decision on her part to tell him about her tattoo.
"Y-yusei, there's something I need to tell you." Aki told him as she released her arms from Yusei's bare chest. This time she had looked up at him as Aki had gently laced her fingers onto yellow marking on his cheek. She had wondered how it happened, what had caused him to be branded as a criminal. Part of her still tried to hide her tattooed arm under the sheets because it was a very sensitive subject for her. "It's very important. It can only be between us."
"What is it Aki?" Yusei asked as he looked at his lover, his words expressed curiosity. He didn't know what she was going to say to him but regardless he had to be there for her. If Aki was crying because of something that has been haunting the woman he loved and caused her this endless amount of pain. Yusei wanted nothing more than thrash those nightmares away while his arms were still wrapped her bare body. He had to try to restrain himself from wanting to touch her breasts and kiss her all over. Yusei wanted to hear her moans of pleasure which was like music to him from their lovemaking from the night before. It's hard when your girlfriend was the most beautiful girl in the world.
"Well, I always had trouble trusting people. It's hard when your father is the senator so there are lots of people trying to use or manipulate our family. The only person I ever really had ever did trust was my father. But there's one thing I have never told anyone, not even him. But for some reason I believe . . . no . . . I know I can trust you, Yusei." Aki addressed as she had removed her arm that held Yusei's cheek to remove the sheets to exposed her tattoo markings on her other arm. She didn't bother to look at his reaction as she had placed her arm on her lap that was sill cover the lower half of her naked body. It was something that was embarrassing to her as she believed that Yusei would think she has probably more of a bad girl than she was letting on. Now that he seen the tattoo, how would Aki explain why she had it to him?
"Is that what I saw from last night?" Yusei questioned as Aki had finally managed to finally look up at him. Her fingers had slowly gripped the sheets as her eyes widened. Despite her attempt to hide it, Yusei had did manage to see something. Aki was hoping to be confused or too much of a daze and think that everything was all a dream. And part of her knew she should have expected it, when they were snuggling under the sheets. How could she hide something like that? Why did it have to happen after they had sex? "I understand if that's something you wanted to hide from me. After all, it's your body Aki. And you don't even have to tell me how you got it. I promise I won't tell anyone." He begins to laugh as the stress evaporated from Aki's body. "I mean if I can keep having all this sex we have a secret, I can sure keep this."
"That's very reassuring Yusei, especially when I don't know much about why I even have the tattoo to begin with. I don't even understand what the person is. But Divine is aware that I have it. And it made me think that it has more of importance than even I know. That he was luring me there to find if I did have it." She had told Yusei, intentionally leaving out the part that he was trying to have sex with her. But then again, why shouldn't she? After all they weren't in a relationship so there was no need too. It was not like he would get jealous since Yusei didn't have feelings for her. It was more that she felt safer with him than with anyone else. "I am scared Yusei." Aki confessed as she embraced him without really thinking. "I don't know what to do." She had muffled the rest against his bare, muscular chest. "Divine will be coming after me."
"No one would hurt you Aki. Divine or anyone else for that matter won't touch you as long as I am around." Yusei had assured her with gentle words of encouragement to Aki. He could feel he come from his cheeks as he attempted on what was more of a confession. Not that she even believed him as he has already tried before. Yusei wondered if Aki could ever feel the same way for him as he feels for her. "Team Satisfaction will protect you from anything. I don't care that we have broken off our original agreement. After all the two of us our now friends and I think we may even be more-" But before he could even finish, he could feel warmth of Aki's lips press against his own. Yusei eyes widened his eyes in surprise but eagerly had returned her kiss.
It had lasted a few minutes before she had pulled away from him. Yusei still had lingering feelings that made him whimper because he didn't want it to stop. "You really mean that Yusei?" Aki questioned in excitement in her voice. She knew they had broken off their agreement, so Yusei really had no need to give her protection. Yet he was willing to on his own accord was something she didn't think he would do. And Aki had all these overwhelming feelings as she leaned in to kiss his cheek as her hands stroked his chest before pressing her lips to his neck. She had lost the remains from her lipstick from the previous otherwise he was sure that more lip markings would be made at this point. "Thank . . . you . . . so . . . much." Aki weakly let out as she addressed in heavy breaths as she had finally caught a moment get some air.
"Yes, of course I mean it. Why wouldn't I? I-I mean I don't understand it either, or why you're uncomfortable with your encounter with Divine? But I am happy you're able to tell me you're secret. It means a lot that you're able to trust me Aki." Yusei smiled as he put a hand to her face. He could feel heat rush to his face as his cheeks reddened on the fact he said this out loud. Yusei had to find a way to assure the woman he loved that he meant every word. He was always one to keep his promises especially to his loved ones. Especially to Aki as his greatest fear was losing her. That she would come to see him as nothing. And he couldn't bear the thought the woman he loved going back to hating him. So the best thing to do was to help her anyway he can. "And I will help you figure this out."
"I am glad. You're such a good friend." Aki expressed. he wasn't sure what to make of her comment. It puzzled him as he believed they were in a relationship. Did she really think of him only as a friend? Yusei just shook it out of him mind because he didn't want to think that they only pleasure both were having was the sex. "I just feel so safe with you." She expresses as her cheeks flustered a bit before Aki had wrapped her arms around him. Aki had pulled him in closer, quickly fisted his hair with one of her hands as they kissed. A growl had slipped past his lips as his hands strokes Aki's breasts with eagerness as a moan her escaped her lips. Their mix of noises was like music between the two of them as it only aroused the two of them. He couldn't control his body as they continued to kiss as they ended up falling back onto the mattress.
"We really should stop" Aki expressed in heavy breaths as Yusei had begun to kiss her neck, collarbone as his lips had moved down to her breasts. He had press his kisses, licked every inch of them before she moaned even harder as he gripped her naked. Aki was enjoying the pleasure that he was given her but she knew they had to get up before everyone else. Otherwise they most likely end up getting caught or fight out there the two that are having sex. And if they started going at it again it would only cause more problems. Both of them were getting more aroused by the others touch that it got increasingly hard to resist. Her greatest worry was everyone assuming they were in a relationship. Did she find it embarrassing if everyone assumed they were a couple...
"The rest of your gang and other people could end up catching us. And the way this is going it's not going to stop anytime soon."
"Don't worry Aki. We still have time." Yusei insisted as tried to convince her because he didn't want to stop their lovemaking. He didn't even care if everyone had heard them as Yusei knew she was embarrassed that everyone could hear them like last time. And he knew how excellent he was in bed with her constant compliments. It only made him want to satisfied her every chance he could so he could hear her say it again. "I am sure that other people are having sex too. So they couldn't even assume it's us."
"Yes, but I am still tired from the sex we had last night. And I think the guys are sleeping this early in the morning. Not attempting to make love for a second time. No much how one or both of them want it." Aki addresses as she gently pushes Yusei off her with a giggle as she sat up.
"This is no fun." Yusei remarked as Aki had got up from bed as she started to put on some clothes she had in her backpack. He already had begun to miss her presence beside him on the bed sheets. Yusei just sat up as he sighed in disappointment as Aki had found her bra and pantie somewhere on the floor. Slowly placing them on back on as he begrudgingly got out of bed and grabbed his boxers and placed them on himself.
"I know you feel the same as I do Yusei." Aki comments as she finished putting on blue jeans, a red shirt that was high up it exposed her midriff. She had walked over to Yusei who had quickly placed buttoned up his pants. Yusei could feel her hands press against his bare chest; it was almost as she was willing to taunt him farther. "Don't worry. We'll have sex another time. We always have plenty of other chances." She softly lets out before going to her tip toes as she leaned in to kiss Yusei on the cheek. Aki then turned to grab her backpack as she zippered it before she slowly opened the door. She had looked around the hallway to her relief no one was around before turning back to look at Yusei. "I will see you downstairs."
The door closed behind her as it left Yusei to ponder in his thoughts. While Aki definitely enjoyed the sex both of them shared together. And he did enjoy every minute they had spent with each other. Yusei knew he would do anything for her, even if she didn't love him. Yusei had told himself that he didn't care as long as he got to be with her. But he didn't want it be something beyond just sex. The problem was all it really seemed to be with Aki. Part of his anguish was what if Aki had simply seen their relationship as nothing more than a friendship. That he was just some toy to fulfill her sexual pleasures. Yusei knew that Aki Izayoi had to love him, otherwise the sex the two had wouldn't be so passionate. As he had taken a cloth to wipe the lipstick marking that Aki had made in annoyance. Due to the fact Team Satisfaction knew that he wasn't good at getting to far with women in the past. It was wrong for him to think that way, she trusted him with her secret. Something she didn't even tell her own father. And he just concluded she was in denial over her feelings. That had to be the answer.
Crow and Kiryu were already downstairs as Aki quickly hid for a minute, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had wondered why they had gotten up so early. Aki could only hope that they didn't heard the sex they had last night again. It would just be so embarrassing that they could get that loud especially on her part. And it worried Aki that they had been with her enough they could recognize their voices. She just couldn't handle the thought of everyone finding out about her complex relationship. And it wasn't that Aki simply wanted to keep it going because of the astonishing sex. It had more to do with the fact she had never had a bond to someone like Yusei before so her friendship was valuable to her.
"Miss Izayoi, you're up early?" Kiryu remarked as Aki had made her way over to two of them as she had put her backpack on a nearby chair. As she quickly put her arms into her jacket that she was carrying.
"And might how add how gorgeous you look in that outfit. It really shows off your body." Crow adds as his eyes widened as he stared at her. She had flipped her hair as she put on her blue jacket that had white, red and black in it. His eyes were more focused on large breasts that were exposed from her shirt. He wondered how she could just wake up looking so beautiful every second of the day. And his mind had drifted to Aki stripping off his clothes in front of him before coming in bed as they started kissing. But his thoughts were interrupted to the sound of the angel's voice that echoed.
"My eyes are right here Crow." Aki irritably told him as she was all too eager to slap him. She was really getting tired of his perverted nature. The breaking point for her was watching her take a shower like it was some kind of show for him. Even that guy Yanagi was joining in on it. She would have broken the camera herself if Yusei didn't beat him to it. It disgusted her that he would always be thinking about her n*** body because of that as it was easy to picture. "I know what you're thinking and I would really appreciate more if you would stop. It makes me so uncomfortable. You're just an absolute pervert!"
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Crow protests to Aki as Kiryu just looked at his before slapping his forehead and shook his head. He knew that was certainly the wrong answer. Was he seriously was that dense that he didn't do anything wrong? "I went to sleep, woke up and had breakfast before I came down here."
"Wrong answer." Kiryu had muttered to him under his breath.
"Oh don't act like you don't know. You and Yanagi were watching me take a shower the other day at the orphanage. And who knows what else? And I can clearly see your mind was picturing me naked because you still have that image of me in your mind. You really have no respect for me at all." Aki told him as her voiced began to get in louder the more she had continued to speak. Crow had put a hand to forehead as he looked around as he hoped no one was listening to their conversation. It was then he had begun to wonder if to wonder if this was how Aki was feeling all the time. That doing all these perverted was only making this woman hate him farther, "So don't pretend to act all innocent with me. That you have no idea what I am talking about because I certainly had enough of it."
"I-It's not that I-"Crow panicked as he couldn't think of the right words, he tried to defend his actions. It didn't matter as Aki Izayoi believes what he was telling her anyway. "Kiryu help me out here." He pleaded as he turned his head to his friend as he hoped to come into his defense.
"I see that you're finally getting what you deserve." Kiryu addressed as he crossed his arms as he enjoyed watching him attempt to get out of the situation.
"You're just so mean." Crow irritably addressed in frustration.
"Well, I am not being mean. Frankly, it's about time you get a good scolding for all the perverted things you were doing. You really didn't think you would get caught. Watching a girl bath because you wanted to see her naked. That was lower than low." He taunted his friend as he walked away but he was only being pleasant. "You might as well tell her the other things you want to do with her as well. Not that you have a chance." The last sentence he had muttered to Crow as he smirked before he walked away.
"I'm glad you're getting a mouthful from Miss Izayoi." Yusei added from the bottom of stairs as he fixed up the collar of his jacket. He had already wiped his neck with his glove to smear off any remaining lipstick. Even though he knew that he wiped it off. He had a visible smirk across his face as Crow was getting what he deserved. After all he was growing tired of his best friend trying win over his girlfriend just so he can have sex with her. There were times he had to control his jealous as he couldn't take him gloating that he was kiss her naked body all over once he gets her into bed. And the fact Aki clearly didn't return her feelings was a major relief for him. "And I do agree with Kiryu that you're getting what you deserve."
"Why is everyone against me?!" Crow protested as if he didn't believe that he was doing anything wrong. After all he had just had sex with a gorgeous woman that was staying there last night. He didn't really think much of it as she was just charmed by him, while he just wanted to get naked with a girl because he was aroused. Kiryu just shook his head the following morning when she had walked out of his room. "You're acting like I did a bad thing. I am just a man. We have needs. You're a beautiful woman and besides it's hard when you hear passionate noises of that same couple that's been having sex. " This had caused her and Yusei to blush in embarrassment. But both of them knew that they couldn't let this bother them. As they could give away that they were the ones having sex. Aki had only wished they weren't so loud when she and Yusei end up making love.
"Q-quit making excuses. You're just a pervert!" Aki furiously tells Crow as she crossed her arms. She shook her head in disapproval of those supposed member of Team Satisfaction. That he was apparently a man that was deprived of sex. "I want to make one thing clear. You're not my type and I will never be interested in you. There's also the matter I already with someone that's back in Neo Domino City." It was more something she was saying was from a certain point of view. It had to do with the attempt to get Crow off her back and not really a lie since Yusei did live in their hometown. Despite the fact she didn't see as any more than a friend that she had sex with. Aki just tried to say it a way that indicated she was with someone but not with Yusei.
"Yeah, I bet he must be one lucky guy, Miss Izayoi. And I assume you hold a special place in your heart for him." Yusei offhandedly remarks with seriousness as he dreamily began to think of the fact he was the special someone. He only wondered how he got so lucky to able to even have sex with a gorgeous woman like her. "Considering you have ever guy in the city wanting to win your affections. I am sure you would be engaged to one of them already. After all they would certainly even pretend to be interested just to get to your bedroom."
"That's really none of your business." Aki yells at him as she tried to cover up their relationship by pretending to get into an argument. As she turned to his direction and since Kiryu had his back turned, she gave Yusei a wink. He seemed to understand the gesture and he nodded his head. "It's my life you have no right to tell me who I can or can't go out with."
"I am just saying. You may even be a lioness in the bedroom. Given a chance they would to touch that naked body of yours. It's certainly the reason why Crow wants too." Yusei remarks as combed his hair with fingers. "Unless you pay them to be an escort just so you can have some one night stand or meaningful romantic relationship." He was more referring to the fact that he got paid to be his bodyguard but it ending with an exchange as they ended up having sex. If he thought about it back then, the way he treated her was basically rape. And he was ashamed of the way he treated the woman he loved. Things have certainly changed back then as their friendship grew.
"How would you even know? As you'll never get into my room you pervert." Aki had crossed her arms as she turns her head away as she pretended to be disgust but part of her was getting irritated by his comments in their false argument. Aki was sure to have a talk to Yusei when they were alone about them. Especially when he is hinting to the rest of his gang on the start of what happened between them. At least none of them were even aware. "You should be continuing you job in protecting me like I hired you for. And with the information we learned about from Divine. We need to head back to Satellite."
"Relax you two. You both certainly argue more like an old married couple." Kiryu remarked as he looked at both of them in confusion. "There's no need to even argue about any of this."
"What are you talking about Kiryu? We're far from being a couple. I mean we hate each other." Yusei protested as he began to fluster as he turned his head away. Was the sexual tension between them becoming more obvious? Yusei could feel something caught in his own throat as he knew his friend couldn't know he was in a relationship with the person they were protecting. Even they knew not to mix business with pleasure at least until the job was done. Even didn't have sex with any of the other girls that managed to hire them until the work was finished. "I mean Miss Izayoi is way above anyone's station and not my type."
"Calm down. I was just kidding." Kiryu adds as he quickly laughed. Yusei and Aki had joined in but their laughing was more nervous that it was hard to fake it being real. Not that either of the other two was really paying attention anyway to their relief. "Come on we better head to Satellite. We can find one of our own abandoned hideouts that we use as a safe zone. I was just talking about it with Crow. We just got through talking with Jack. He thinks it's for the best if we don't go back to Martha's. If Divine is going to go after us, it would be too risky and put everyone in danger. He's going to meet us there."
"That's really not funny Kiryu." Yusei irritably addressed as a blush came across his face. Was it because he fell for one of his friends tricks or was it because of the fact he assumed they were in a relationship? And the sexual tension couldn't be more obvious, they couldn't even falsely make people around believe that they hate each other. He didn't find the idea of it embarrassing, it had more to do with them being considered a married couple. "I-I mean it's wrong to make jokes like that around two people who hate each other." He had tried to continue with their excuse as it was really the only way to seem convincing.
"Well you certainly have the air with your arguing." Kiryu smirked as he continued with taunting as he crossed his arms.
"I really just want to be able to get back Satellite. The more time we waste here talking my father can be in serious trouble." Aki impatiently tells the three members of Team Satisfaction. All that was on her mind was getting to her father. She had nothing but worry about his well-being on her mind. That he could be helpless somewhere because Aki didn't even know what his kidnapper was even planning. "He can be lying helpless somewhere, probably in some prison. He's kidnapper may have even beaten him and leaving him with little food." She had tried to get a hold of herself as tears get to stream down her face.
"Don't worry, Miss Izayoi we'll get to your father. After all I gave you my word." Yusei reminded, he gently touched her shoulder as he said this before Aki had turned to look up at him. He gave a soft smile to assure her, it was hard to resist pulling her into an embrace since he couldn't give away their relationship. "You're in very trusted hands." He had quickly taken his hand off her shoulder before turning his head away from her. He reached out from his pocket as he reached to give her a blue handkerchief. "Here take this to wipe away your tears. I-I mean crying doesn't suit you." Yusei added as his cheeks reddened. After all he wasn't one to really show his vulnerability around people outside Team Satisfaction. It was made even worse that his friends were seeing it in front of a woman that he had to hide the fact he was in love with.
"Thanks Yusei." Aki softly let out as she took it with graduate before using it to wipe her eyes.
"Aren't you Mr. Hero." Crow sarcastically addresses in a mix of jealousy and frustration. He didn't understand why Aki Izayoi disliked him, yet she also wasn't fond of Yusei either. He just didn't understand on how she treated Yusei so much more differently than himself. Crow had clutched his hands to fists. He certainly felt jealousy at his friend possibly trying to win her affections behind her back. I mean he knew Yusei could be a flirt with a girl he liked, even if he hasn't gotten anywhere with them. He wondered if Aki was easily to fall in love with someone. "Letting her take the anger out on me, while you come in sweep the girl off the feet under my nose. Making yourself more appealing to her." Crow had crossed his arms as he tried to control his anger because he didn't want to be envious but he just couldn't help it. After all he couldn't be rejected because no girl has turned down his feelings. He had told himself Aki had continued to play hard to get with him. If he had too, he would see Yusei as a rival for the girl's affections.
"She's crying Crow. Can't you be more sensitive. Besides I don't like her that way. It's our job to look after her." Yusei defended his actions as he shook his head. After all he had to make an excuse about caring for his girlfriend. "You can be really insensitive to a woman's feelings. It's amazing how someone like you can have sex with some random girl in the middle of the night."
"How did you know that?" Crow questioned as he looked more in surprise than in confusion. He glared over at Aki, who had a disappointed look on her face. Crow wished that Yusei didn't even bring up his sexual relationships in front of her. In her mind he was just a lecherous pervert, who had one thing on his mind. He wanted to have lots of sex with beautiful women and she was included. "And did you have to mention it in front of her." He began to fluster from the embarrassment of the situation.
"Well, it's certainly in your nature Crow." Yusei remarks as he put a hand in his jacket pocket. "And I think Aki should know the truth."
"You're simply enjoying this aren't you?" Crow addressed rather irritably as he put a hand his forehead. He tried to think of how to get out of this situation but fortunately for him Yusei had beat him to it.
"It doesn't matter right now. We have to find Miss Izayoi's father." Yusei answers as he started to walk off. "If I had more time I would be have a cigarette. Where is that pack anyway?" He questioned as he searched around with as he put his other hand in his pocket. He felt it in his other jacket pocket as he smiled. "There it is."
"You're not having one." Aki called out as she followed after Yusei, not even bothering to even look at Crow. "I already told you how it's a disgusting habit. And you have said you would stop-"
"God Miss Izayoi you really think it's the best time to give me a lecture. Do not act start nagging me right now. I don't need to hear it." Yusei protested as he placed a cigarette in his mouth as he ignited the end with a lighter. He did admit he loved the way Aki cared about him but that doesn't mean he would listen. And even more that he acted like a caring girlfriend or even more like a wife. Yusei had begun smoking a few years ago, perhaps with coping with all these responsibilities and being leader of a gang. There was also reliving all those nightmares when he saw his father get killed. He quickly started to open the door before taking out his mouth as a ring of smoked followed. "I need it with all this added stress. We had this argument before. And you know it relaxes me."
"Stop making excuses Yusei Fudo! I hate that you're going back on your word." Aki had called out to him as she followed him to the door in frustration. It was always one habit she had hated, and Aki was furious that he was going back on his word. Especially hated the smell that lingered on him when they were having sex despite the fact Yusei had addressed that it was a smell she would get use too. And it was just something that made her nauseous and uncomfortable. If he was going to keep this up, she knew a way to punish him was withdrawing his sexual pleasures. Yusei would be sure to give in because he would rather make love to her.
"Just get on the back of the D-Wheeler and stop making a fuss woman." Yusei called back as the door closed behind Aki.
"What was that about?" Crow asked as he raised his eyebrow. Aki Izayoi care for their leader and friend had come to increasingly annoy him. He wanted her to overly caring and closer to her. This only firmed his belief at seeing Yusei as a rival. Even if it's not in the romantic sense as Yusei claims not to have feelings for her like he does. It's also the reason Crow had felt that Aki should be with him.
"That was another of their genuine arguments. I don't think they can go through." Kiryu addressed as he explains what he feels is going on between Yusei and Aki. And he appeared to not have a clue that they were actually involved in a complex sexual relationship. "Come on we better head off. It could be Miss Izayoi being worried about her father. That she's becoming tenser and seeing something that upsets her. Miss Izayoi thinks the better option is to take it out on him."
"I guess you're right. Let's head out." Crow reluctantly agreed as they headed outside as well.
So you know I redid the last sentence. So I am resending it. That's why I did it twice. I added more. So send me the second one.
"I guess you're right. Let's head out." Crow reluctantly agreed as they headed outside as well. He had kept his head down and followed along behind Kiryu as both of them walked out the door.
It had taken maybe around two hours for them to make it back to Satellite from the when they left. Aki had her arms wrapped around Yusei's as she enjoyed the view. Crow couldn't help but be distracted in jealousy because he wanted to be him. It was only small glances as he tried to focus on the road to distract himself which was coming up in failure. They knew they were in Satellite from all the debris and the old buildings. As these were the ruins near an abandoned area compared to the other parts that were better constructed. So naturally it would a perfect place for a hideout.
"There's Jack." Kiryu had pointed out but they noticed that Jack appeared be in distress but he was attempting to hide it. He just assumed is because he had to leave Carly behind because he knew that this location could be dangerous. Despite the fact she was a reporter, he just made a claim there was nothing to report.
"HEY JACK!" They all called out as all of them stopped as he turned his head to look at them.
"Be careful. There's trouble brewing." Jack warned as he took off his helmet as the rest of Team Satisfaction and Aki had followed after. All of them were confused on what Jack had meant with that comment.
Well, look what we have here. The whole gang's back together." From the distance another group of D-Wheelers but it was clear that they were a rival gang. But Yusei immediately knew the voice as he they had to fight all these gangs in the past, even now. And he knew they were on the border of their territory. And since they have been gone, they would claim it more as theirs.
"That voice-" Yusei angrily said as he held on tightly to his helmet. Aki looked at him in worry as she matched to where his cobalt blue eyes were glaring at the leader. And she assumed that this was someone that was part of his past. She assumed it was someone that had deeply hurt him and even the rest of Team Satisfaction. Just like the time when he talked about his father's murder, perhaps something happened between the two gangs? And it scared her because it another part that he had kept hidden from her but she wasn't angry as there were things she hadn't kept a secret too. But now she was getting more involved with the crossfires between gangs. It worried her more that something could happen to her before she reached for father. Aki knew this meant she had to put all her trust in Yusei to keep her safe.
"It can't be-" Crow added as his rage took over. It certainly got rid of all the jealousy he was having towards Yusei and Aki a few minutes ago. He had flashbacks enter his mind, memories from years ago with every ounce of guilt that followed.
It was that fateful day all those years ago that Team Satisfaction's lives had changed forever.
Kiryu's hands clenched into fists as the memories returned. "After what happened that day,... That Bastard will pay!"
Author's Note: This is the end of chapter 12. Please read/review and let me know what your favorite part is. What do you think about Yusei and Aki trying to cover their relationship? And the fact that Crow's finally told off by Aki and he's growing envious of their close relationship. Could that lead to a conflict in the future?
I personally loved how Yusei and Aki ended up bickering like an old married couple in this chapter. It's so amusing.
I promise to get working on the next chapter soon. Until then enjoy!
