Chapter 07 - Destined reuniting at the Beginning
On the way to Izinski Manor Akiza asked the driver to take a detour, she wanted to check and confirm the location that was on the poster Yusei dropped. "Miss Akiza we have arrive at the place you requested, but may I ask why you don't want to be dropped off at the front?" the limo driver asked. "I don't want anyone in the place to know it's me and tell the person I want to surprise. The best way is to enter and ask like I am new to the area and ask someone." Akiza explained. The drive understood and Akiza got out of the limo and walked to the day-care.
As she entered the centre she could tell everything looked just like how she remembered, except for the decorations being put up ready for the party. "Wow it just like I remember." She said as a staff member walked over to her. "Hello can I help you?" the staff member named Jenny asked. "Oh no it ok, what is happening at the moment?" Akiza asked. "Were setting up an all age community party, to raise some funds and give the kids something to enjoy." Jenny explained. "Really! Can anyone come to it?" Akiza asked even though she knew the answer. "Yes anyone can attend, but we are using a spy theme this year so except for the kids we want people to come looking like spys. How you come is up to you though." Jenny answered. 'Ok so that's it, Yusei I will show you a good time and give you an eyeful!' Akiza thought confidently. "Thanks Miss I may just do that and join in. Thanks for your time." Akiza said before turning around and walked out and back to the limo. The limo driver was standing outside waiting for her. "Can you please take me home now please." The driver nodded and opened the door and waited for Akiza to get in before closing the door and getting in to the limo himself, and drove off for Akiza's home. 'I now need to find the perfect outfit to lure Yusei into my arms.' she thought as the limo continued on.
As Yusei was travelling back to the tops an odd feeling keep coming over him and thought someone was ether saying his name of following him, he had to keep stopping to look around just to calm down. "Man why do I keep feeling like someone is calling me?" he said before pulling up his sleeve to look at the dragon mark. 'Every time that feeling happens this mark seemed to glow. Could it be that Akiza is near? No I can't keep thinking that or I'm going to go crazy.' Yusei thought to himself, ever since he left the airport he kept thinking he saw the mark on his arm flashing, but in reality it wasn't, his mind was over thinking the dream from nearly a week ago, this was making him see things that was not happening.
As he was about to set off the video-radio on his runner went off indicating one of two things, a duel request or a phone call. Yusei clicked a button on his runner and Martha appeared, it was a phone call so Yusei was relived as he was not up to duelling at the moment. "Hi Martha, is something wrong? You don't normally ring me on my runner line." He said to Martha. "I know Yusei but I was calling to tell you I have finished your costume for the party but I will need you to try it on so I can make fine adjustments to it. Will you be able to come over either this afternoon or tomorrow?" Martha asked knowing which answer he would give. Yusei thought about it then answered "I pop back to the top then come over after lunch Martha. That way I can relax tomorrow." Yusei said to Martha'sagreement. "That's a good idea Yusei and exactly what I thought you would say. I will see you soon then, oh bring that package with you then we can sort that out as well. Ok bye." Martha replied before cutting him off leaving Yusei puzzeled. "How does she manage to do that?" He questioned himself before putting his helmet back on and setting off back to the tops.
When Akiza arrived at her house she was shocked to see it at first, it had been so long that she could not remember what it looked like, if anything it was bigger than what her parents had told her. "Wow this I really my old house? I can't even work out which window is for my room!" she said shocked as she got out of the limo. The driver got out as well and unloaded Akiza's stuff and led Akiza to the house. "If you may miss Akiza, if you unlock the door I will lead you to your room. The house keeping did a good job redecorating the room to suit a young lady than a little child you left as. No disrespect intended." The driver said hoping his last comment did not offend his client. "Don't worry; I did leave here at 4 years old anyway so they was nothing wrong with what you said." Akiza said as she unlocked the door for the first time, but before she opened it she stopped to take in this moment. 'Well here we go!' she thought as she opened the door. When she saw the entrance she thought for a moment it was a palace and ran in to look around but that thought died after she realised it was just a larger version of her German home. Even thought the place was similar she wished she never left this place since it look better then in Germany. "Man I am going to enjoy my time here!" she shouted at the top her voice. "Miss Akiza if you follow me?" the driver said as he led her up the stairs and down the east wing of the manor to her room. "This is your redecorated room miss Akiza, if you may." He said and allowed Akiza to enter her room and what she saw made her eyes tear-up in joy. What she saw was a large room with a king size bed, the walls painted in her favourite colour red with green flowers around the room, enough storage to hold more than 5 times the amount of stuff she brought with her, but better than all that was the view, she could see across the channel that spit Domino from New Domino city, and even the bridge that linked them together.
"Miss Akiza, it's good to see you again. I guess you like the redone room?" said a young lady Akiza had not noticed in the room. Akiza snapped out of her daze and turned around and saw a face she had not seen for years but remembered. "Oh my god, hello miss Jenny. I love the room, its prefect. How are you anyway?" she said surprised. "I'm good Miss Akiza, I'm just finished here now since I lead the group that redecorated the room for you. Although you're mum gave us some tips for it. She wanted you to have a nice room to live in while you're here." Jenny answer happy that Akiza loved the room. Akiza hugged Jenny since it meant the room had a personal touch. "Thank you Jenny for everything. So what are you doing now?" Akiza asked. "Actually I current am having some problems and have been out of work lately. I came back here since I owed your parents a favour still." Jenny explained sadly. Akiza could not believe what she heard, the one person that used to look after her while her parents were at work was in trouble and out of work completely.
Akiza decided she had to do something to help her. "Jenny how about this, I don't know how long I am staying in domino right now, so for now how about you start working at the manor again for now. Besides..." Akiza stopped as she started blushing, she tuck a deep breath as she continued, "I want to meet up with the boy I saw at the day-care group 14 years ago and could use some help to get ready to .. you know" she stopped again but this she could not finish the sentence, but Jenny knew what she was up to. "Of course Akiza I would love to work for you again, I would even take the minimum rate for the job right now." She answer only for Akiza to stop her. "Jenny you will work here at the rate you were at 14 years ago, and if you do well every month I will give you a work bonus ok. Now there's no talk now, go home and get any stuff you will need and bring it here. We have work to do." Akiza ordered in a boss like tone. Jenny nodded and ran out of the room happy to have a job again, the limo drive brought Akiza stuff in to the room and left without any question since he knew he was not needed for the rest of the day. "I just hope Jenny can help me capture Yusei's heart thought the party."
Yusei collected the deposit box from the tops and arrived at Martha's during the mid afternoon to try on his tuxedo style costume for the party. "Martha I thought you were making me a costume that could get wet and be reused?" Yusei questioned thinking Martha had forgot that small point. "Yusei it's made from washable material and will be reusable as a normal suit or tuxedo if you wanted to. Now go to the other room and try it on." Martha snapped back playfully, Yusei thinking he would lose the battle just nodded and got to the task in hand. After about 10 minutes Yusei did get most of it on but was having problems with a few items: 1, the belt that was with the pants was too long, 2, he could not get the bow tie on and 3, the gun holster for the water pistol would not resize for him. "Man how did 007 manage this in those films 80 years ago? This is madness." He said to himself. After another 5 minutes he gave up and walked out to show Martha. "Well what do you think?" he asked nervously. "Oh Yusei, Yusei you look so hansom in that, too bad for the few problems you seem to have though." Martha said happily. Yusei explained what the problems were and Martha found that the last two were an easy fix. The bow tie was fixed up for him then she converted it into a clip on to make it easier for Yusei, as for the holster it was an easy fix for Martha. "As for the belt Yusei I don't think you will need it, I only put it on their in case it was needed." Martha explained to him. "That good Martha, so am a ready now for the party?" Yusei asked. "I would say you have a licence to thrill double 0 Fudo." Martha answered using a bad spy joke. "Ok very funny Martha, I going to get changed then." He said before leaving. 'Man I wish I was his age now, I would die to have a boyfriend that look that good in a tuxedo.' Martha thought to herself. After 10 minutes Yusei returned with his normal things on and his costume packed in a case. "Thank for everything again Martha. I better get home." He said looking tired. "Ok Yusei, have a good time and let me know if you catch a bond girl." Martha said before laughing at what she said. Yusei let the last comment slide since he was doing it for the kids not to find a girl, even though deep down he hoped Martha was right. He gave Martha a hug and kiss before leaving to return to the tops.
The next day Akiza was up early in a panic, she knew the party was the next day but had no idea what to get to wear for it since she had no time to have anything custom fitted for her, she decided to look online for some ideas. "Great there are so many examples online of spy outfits for girls but I can't work out what to wear to that party, now I wish I had more time to get it sorted." she said worrying that her plan would not work now, before Jenny came in to her room with Akiza's breakfast. "Good morning miss Akiza, I have your breakfast here for you. Oh still having problems with you costume ideas?" Jenny asked. "Oh morning Jenny, your right I can't decide on anything. It's just two last minute now." Akiza explained. "Akiza you know there is a simpler idea that you may not have thought of and it follows the spy theme." Jenny said, this surprised Akiza and she let Jenny find it online. "It's not in many films or shows but some female spy's use this. I think it looks like a real spy and a killer one at the same time." Akiza looked at what came up, it show images of girls in tight cat suit, although seeing an image of the x-man 'Storm' from the old movies had crept in somehow. Akiza looked and could see herself in one, but she could see a problem with it. "I like this Jenny but I worried that we can't get one last minute that will accommodate my chest." Akiza said concerned. "Akiza do we really have time to talk about it. Let's go and see what we can find and if we find one even a little too small for your chest we can modify it here for you." Akiza had to agree with Jenny's idea and point. With that the shout down the computer and together they went shopping even though Akiza was not a fan of it, but this time to get her man she had no choose.
By the time the two of them got back from their 4 hour shopping trip, Akiza had a cat suit to use as well and some extra things to make it pop a little more, but she needed to put it on again to work out the adjustment needed to be made to make it perfect for her. While Akiza put on the tight cat-suit she found it easy to get the legs, hips and waist in to it. Her first problem come up when she was trying to get her arms in to it, she could get the first arm in easy but when she attempted to get the second arm in it kept pulling on her other arm so Jenny had to help her. Her second was the front of the suit, while it could be zipped up Akiza large chest made it difficult to complete the job, but her custom bra was also making it harder. "I hate to say it Miss Akiza but if you want to wear this you will not be able to wear the bra." Jenny said which did not please Akiza at all. "That maybe so but I can't with my chest insecure since they would both be larger than it is now and they would bounce too much and that not a good idea at a party kids will be at." Akiza said and Jenny could only agree with the point. "Hold on! Akiza do you a spare bra that could be cut up?" Jenny suddenly questioned, confused Akiza had a look at all her bras and did find a black one that she did not use very often. "There's this one I don't use much, why what are you thinking?" Akiza questioned. "Well looking at this one look, is has a clip that connects the cups together at the front. What I am thinking is we cut off the straps and fuse the cups to the inside of the suit. When it's clipped together and you wear it that should make it secure enough to hold your chest in place but we can then use some stretchy material like the back strap and you would have a built in bra in the suit." Jenny explained and Akiza thought about it and decided to try it. They place the bra cups in the suit where Akiza would want them, then Jenny placed some safety pins in to keep them in place before Akiza took it all off.
About 2 hours later Jenny finished the modifications and it looked flawless, Akiza tried it on again but even with help the suit still did not look right yet. "There something missing still Akiza but I can't think what it is." Jenny said confused, after a few minutes Akiza picked up on one thing they did missed and looked at the package for the suit. "Jenny it's the neck area! The suit is supposed to zip up to the top and that's not possible for me. We need a way to close the neck area." Akiza said making Jenny jump. "Your right Akiza and that could be simple. We take some spare black fabric and stick it to one side then Velcro the other side to make it in to a choker style, and as a bonus if you get too hot you can undo that and replace it after." Akiza nodded to the idea since it was simple and effective but then noticed something with the way the cat suit was open at the top. She looked in the mirror again and had a thought. "Jenny get the neck strip and hold it around the front please." Jenny did as she was asked but wondered what he spoted. "I knew it! Jenny look at the way the gap comes up to the neck. If you included a trangle piece in the centre of the neck it forms a Heart shape." Jenny thought about it and spoted that as well. "Akiza that the final piece of the puzzle for the main suit. That guy will not be able to not miss that, well not without getting a eyeful and a nose bleed that is. Then all you need to put on is the holster, the gloves and the leather boots and you will be a killer spy." Akiza agreed again then took the suit off knowing the big party was at 4pm tomorrow and her costume would get her man.
Yusei was in the tops trying on his costume again to make shore he could get it on without any trouble, and surprisingly he got it right first time and he still could not believe how good it made him. But even though he was happy in the tuxedo costume he wished had a girl around his arm to complete the effect. "Man with a girl holding my arm I would feel like a real spy like in the film. That would be a real dream come true." He said before deciding to get the suit off before he made a mess of it. "Let's see the party starts at 4pm and finishes at 10pm, and it will be dark at 7pm so that means I could still talk with some of the local girls before going home. Not that any of them will want to know me with my criminal mark even with the turbo duel title." He said sadly before deciding to go to bed early.
Akiza slepted in until 11am to make shore she was well rested from the flight a few days earlier. She knew she had 5 hours before the event but even though she wanted to wait till dark before appearing she decided to go for the full thing then make her move when it got dark. Jenny waited until midday to bother her, thinking of her getting ready since it would take her at least 4 hours to get showered, have her hair set for the wig she was going to use until the surprise, and have her make-up done to make her look perfect. As for Yusei he had to get ready early to help the event from the start.
Yusei arrived at the party at 3:30pm in his costume and the staff where happy to see him and within minutes of him arriving they got started, but one wish kept playing in his head 'I wish for Akiza to come home, no come back here today!'. That wish was special to him since it was this party 14 years ago when Akiza left to start with, so every year he would make that wish on the party, but this time Yusei was unaware that this year his wish would come true.
By 6:30 the party was running wild with all the kids running around with Yusei's water guns, everytime he would aim the water pistol at one of the kids, another one would get it off him, this ment he was always get wet early in each game, but he still enjoyed it anyway since all the kids were having fun. At the edge of the garden area Akiza was watching Yusei, for the whole party she could not stop watching him enjoy playing with the kids and wished she could have joined in but she didn't in case she had a costume malfunction. Unknown to the both of them something was about to happen which would bring them together earlier that Akiza planned. "Yusei would you hand these drinks out please?" Yusei nodded and took the tray from the worker and handed them out to the guests. As he approached Akiza, she started to get nervous and was about to walk inside to calm down, but instead she tripped and fell towards Yusei. Yusei noticed and even though he had a few drink he dropped the tray to help the mystery girl. "Hold on!" Akiza landed in Yusei's arms and as if on cue both of them felt a jolt of electricity and they touched. 'What was that?' they both thought at the same time.
Akiza after a few seconds looked up intending to hold on till the time was right and thank him but when their eyes locked time seamed to stop for the two of them. 'Yusei eyes there, no stop I can't look yet but..' Akiza thought trying to resist being pulled in to his deep blue eyes but was failing. 'Her eyes are so beautiful, no I want to find Akiza but, why am I..' Yusei thought having the same problem. After a few minutes Martha arrived at the party to help with the night events. When she noticed what had happened and how Yusei and a girl she didn't know were locked in place like something was holding them in that position. "Oh my Yusei found her, a girl he likes and she looks like she my like him to." Martha said happy to have seen this happen at last. After few more minutes Akiza snapped out her daze and realized this was not the right time yet. "Thanks sir but I have to go." Akiza said in a panic and ran in to the day-care. Yusei did not know what to do as he snapped out of it himself. "What happened? What do I do?" Yusei questioned until he heard Martha call over. "Yusei go after her!" she shouted and without even replying he did just that and followed her.
Akiza ran in to the play group room and stood right in the middle of the room with tears running down her face, she was angry with herself for not taking a chance when she could have. "He was right there and I could not even say anything, why did I look at him like in that dream? What's wrong with me" she said as he pulled the wig off and threw it at the wall in anger. In Akiza's haste she never closed the door on the room and Yusei stopped outside it. 'Why am I getting a sense of davjavu all of a sudden.' He thought before hearing the girl inside crying. He walked in and the first thing he saw was the wig that had landed near the door. But there in the centre of the room was the girl but with her short red hair not the long hair the wig gave her.
He walked up to that person but what was strange she seemed to look like the girl he saw in his dream a over a week ago. 'Why dose see seem familiar to me?' he thought as he walked over to her. Akiza heard someone enter and turned around to see who was there and gasped from the sight she saw and Yusei did the same. Without even thinking Yusei seemed to know who she was only based on the dream he had. Their eyes lock on to each other's again and they lost all sense of time, but this time they could not break off from that. Yusei was the first to speak "A A Aki-za" he stutted out in hope it was who he thought it was. "Y Y Yu-sei" the girl stated confirming Yusei's thought the Girl in his dream's and here right now was in fact was his long lost and grown up friend Akiza Izinski..
The two former friends could not top looking at each other's eyes as they slowly walked closer, this time Yusei's started with tears in his eyes from seeing his best friend again after 14 year. 'Its happened, it really happened my wish came true! And she looks so beautiful. My red Rose is beautiful!' Yusei thought to himself not realising that he referred to Akiza as his like in the dream. 'He followed me, how did he, why did he? But he does look so hansom. Oh my gosh my shining star's hansom.' Akiza thought to herself not realising she just reran the dream again.
Finally the two of them snapped and ran to each other to tuck the other in a one of the biggest hugs they had ever done that they could remember, but then they stopped before they made contact, something was holding them back. All they could say to each other was their each other's name since they did not know what to say or do. Yusei wanted to hug Akiza but he did not know if she wanted it. Akiza suddenly looked at his arms and saw that he did want to hug he like back then. 'Yusei this is not you, when you saw me 14 years ago you would hug me every time me met and before we left. I I need to know it is real, I need I need his hug.' She thought and opened he arms to him. "Its ok Yusei I'm here, I'm home." She said. Yusei started crying when he heard that and dived into the hug. "Akiza your back, you're really back. I wished you would come and you did thank you." He said thought his tears and Akiza just let him embrace her. "Yusei I not going anywhere, I'm here, I am back and I am never leaving you again." Akiza said back thought her tears of joy. They were both happy now, they were together in the other's arms, and felt something inside them swelling up, LOVE!
