Chapter 10 - The First Date together.
It took less than a week for Yusei to recover from his illness, during that time Akiza stay by his side the first 2 days after being called in by Martha. After that Yusei was able to move around but while still weak, without the worries of him falling over all the time. Akiza would come over using Martha's keycard and would help with anything needed, except when it came to Yusei having a shower since the events from the past dreams still worried her.
This morning though Yusei felt completely better and was glad since, he hated being ill and having Akiza do all that for him, but he wanted to show his thanks to her for what she did. "I wonder what would be the right thing to do show her how thankful I am. There the amusement park that just opened but Akiza may not like that. I could take her for a ride on my runner but the speed could scare her. Wait what was the name of that place Martha told me about last week." He said to himself as he tried to remember what it was then it snapped in his head. "That's it the sunset restaurant Martha told me that it was not doing well for customers recently but it was still getting good reviews though. I'll look it up on the computer." He grabbed his laptop from the bedside table and went online to look at the menu for that restaurant and what he was seeing and reading was making him hungry. He grabbed a pad and wrote down the address so he could find it later. He then spotted the time and knew Akiza would be arriving in 5 minutes. "Dam better get these hidden for when she gets here." He said and hurried to shut his laptop down, and then lay down to catch Akiza out. 'I ask her out tomorrow for the day.' He thought to himself.
Akiza arrived in the apartment on time and the first thing she did was to get her new nurse coat on which arrived the day before. She felt a little better with the new one since she could act more professional compared to how she had been before with Yusei. She then went to make Yusei some breakfast, before placing everything on a tray and walked up the stairs with it to Yusei's room. She opened the door to see a still asleep Yusei which was not a suprise anymore since she expected it. She walked up to his bed placed the tray on the table and saw that the side she slept on before was empty. 'I guess Yusei slept well last night.' She thought before she sat down on the bed next to him but in her heart she wished she could have slept with him again. She wretched over to hold his hand which was on top of the covers, but the moment she did Yusei grabbed he arms and pulled her towards him. "What the he..." she started but was stopped as the lips made contact with a very passionate Yusei's lips. Akiza could not move since the sudden move from Yusei shocked her, as her body melted in to the kiss.
After a few minutes their lips separated due to the need for air, Akiza could still not believe what had happened but Yusei could not believe he did that but was happy that he had. "Morning Akiza, how are you this morning?" he asked as if nothing happened. "Good morning, GOOD MORNING! WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT YUSEI?" Akiza asked still in shock as she tried to calm down. "What's wrong Akiza, it a morning kiss to the girl who looked after me and captured my heart?" Yusei said not realising how he finished his sentence. "You what? I captured your heart? But I thought it was the other way around, you stole my heart Yusei." She said blushing from Yusei's statement. At that moment Yusei just lost it and pulled Akiza in to another fiery kiss which only make Akiza even more shocked than before, this time though Akiza put up very little resistance and gave in to it. Her heart was exploding with happiness and love for him, she wanted, no she needed this to feel complete inside. They just keep on deepening the kiss or moved the heads around and at one point gave the other access to the inside of their mouths. They both felt they should have asked for permission but they somehow knew they wanted it. What started as just a kiss of thanks turned in to a full on make out session, with Akiza leading most of it. They entered their own world of pure love unhindered by limits and the fact Yusei was under the covers so no risks involved as well.
Their make out session lasted over an hour with both of them not wanting the moment to stop. When they did separate eventually Yusei moved to give Akiza butterfly kisses down her neck as she tried to catch her breath, unable to calm herself down with how Yusei was making her feel. After a few minutes of butterfly kisses Yusei pulled away to look at his girl, as her head fell to his chest. "Yusei how did you do that to me? It feels so good and I felt so alive." Akiza said as she breathed deeply from what happened. "I don't know Akiza, it just felt right to me I guess. When I'm with you it felt more like a need. I needed you lips, no more than that wanted to feel them again. Its like after all those accidental ones that happened I became addicted to them like a drug." Yusei said not even shore if it sounded right. Akiza nodded in agreement, she felt the same. "I think the way you said that may be wrong Yusei, but I felt the same. You know it's funny, I just never thought that you would make the first move on me like this. I thought I would be the one doing it" Akiza replied.
"No Akiza you already did that when you were being my sexy sounding nurse, I got so frustrated from all your teasing that I wanted to jump out of bed and take you lips by force just to stop you. Wait did I just say that?" Yusei questioned realising what he said. Akiza was surprised to hear that but wanted to know if he meant that, so she decided to do what Yusei was talking about to find out. She moved off of Yusei's bed, moved a few paces away before turning to face him and put on her feminine charm again. "Well Yusei I heard you, and don't know what ... you ... mean." She said in her sexy voice. 'No no no not that voice again.' he thought as he felt little Yusei playing up again. "Akiza please don't talk like that again." He said with a blush of embarrassment from what was happening, and it was driving his senses insane. "Stop doing what?. All I am doing it talking ...to...you...yu..se..i." she said in a slow but seductive voice. Hearing Akiza say his name that was made his mind snap again. "Thats it! I can't take it anymore!" he shouted and jumped out of bed and captured Akiza's lips again by force, but it resulted in them falling to the ground slowly. 'He he did what he said! Did I really effect him that much, oh forget it I love this.' Akiza thought as she gave in again to his kisses.
After a few minutes Yusei separated from Akiza and was about to apologies but Akiza placed a finger on his lips to stop him. "Yusei don't say you're sorry since I said it that way to see if you meant what you sad. You told me the truth and ... isn't that what people in love should do? Yusei I wanted to be like that for you, I love you after all and I would only do that for you." Akiza finished saying with a deep red blush on her face. "Akiza I understand that, I can't believe you did it just to get me to react though. I didn't think you would be evil that way." He replied but Akiza reversed the situation. "Well Yusei if I'm evil then you must be too, forcing me to be all that, even getting me in bed with you. That was just low." Akiza teased. "Hold on when did that happen? I haven't been able to move much the last week." Yusei question not realising Akiza was teasing him. "Yusei I was joking, I choose to do that to get you warmed up, since you we shivering so much nothing else would work. Beside it felt nice to have a body pillow!" Akiza admitted with a blush. Yusei let the last part of what Akiza said slide but he had to admit that it did feel nice having her by his side.
Yusei decided that after the talk they just had and the events of the morning, he decided to move his plan forward. "Akiza I was just wondering, are you doing anything today?" he asked. "Not really Yusei, I was going to continue looking after you, but I can now see that it's not needed now. Why?" Akiza asked wondering what he asked for. Yusei took Akiza's hand between his and took a deep breath. "Akiza would you go out with me today?" he asked fearing rejection. "Yusei I ... I... I would love to. Will I be ok in what I am wearing today?" she answered. "Akiza you look perfect in that. You don't need to change anything, your perfect as you are." Yusei replied which made Akiza's smile grow. "Thanks Yusei but we can't do anything yet you know." Akiza pointed out since she noticed an oversight on Yusei's part, this confused Yusei since he hadn't realised. "Why?" he asked but all Akiza did was giggle and point down. Yusei look down and realised he was still in his PJ's "Oh right, I better get dressed first right." Yusei said as Akiza nodded in agreement.
Yusei Grabbed his normal clothes and went to the bathroom to get changed, while Akiza went to the living room to wait. 'Wow I can't believe what happened this morning. I thought I would be starting things like that to get him not the other way around. My hearts never beat so fast before. How can Yusei effect me like this, what wrong with me. Come on Akiza I need to calm down and ...' she thought as Yusei appeared before her braking her train of thought. "Are you ready Akiza?" Yusei asked and Akiza nodded with a blush. 'Oh forget it Akiza just enjoy your time with him' she thought as they left together.
They both agreed to walk since the weather was perfect; it was sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Yusei had the directions for the restaurant Yusei picked out and they were walking side by side but Akiza felt like something was missing. Akiza looked around and as many people walking together like her and Yusei were but they was some major differences between them, some were holding hand while some of the girls hand wrapped their arms around there man's arm. She still could not believe how close she and Yusei had become after only a week but she still felt that it was not enough for some reason. 'Yusei's been so nice to me since we met again at the party and I feel like there's more I can give him. But I still want to feel him, no hold him close.' she though. Yusei looked over and saw Akiza was lost in thought and worried something was wrong. "Akiza are you ok?" he asked but Akiza was not responding at all. He worried but then a evil thought popped in his head 'I know how to get her attention when she is like that!' and walked behind Akiza who had stopped.
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed Akiza's neck, this made her jump but she let out a moan in response first. "Yusei what are you doing?" she asked confused at what happened. "You just stopped and would not respond to me when I ask you something. So I woke you up! Is something wrong, do you need something?" Yusei answered, Akiza looked at the couples around them I knew what she wanted to do. "Yusei can we do what those couples of their are doing?" she asked pointing to the people she saw. Yusei looked at them and remembered how he felt when he was with the twins wishing the same thing himself but this time he had someone with him that could grant that with he had. "Yes Akiza, you can choose what we do if you like." Yusei answer making Akiza happy. He let Akiza go and she straight away wrapped her arms around his. The moment she did Yusei felt complete inside and Akiza felt the same but also felt safe with him as well. "Thank you Yusei!" she whispered to him. With that they both started walking again, next stop Yusei's chosen restaurant.
When they arrived Yusei wished they hadn't since he could not stay like that while inside the restaurant. Akiza was surprised to see how nice the sunset restaurant was from the outside, it looked like a 4 star place. "What a wonderful looking restaurant. Maybe we could eat here one day, what do you think?" Akiza asked. "You right Akiza, but that's why we are here right now. Where going to have lunch here today! Come on lets go." Yusei said and lead her to the door. Akiza could not believe Yusei brought her to such a nice place. This sunset restaurant was modern place but it had an old style look to the table and chairs, the combination was good on the eyes. Since the restaurant was not doing well for customers they allow them to pick their own table. "Akiza why don't you pick the table we will sit at." Yusei said. Akiza nodded and holding Yusei's hand pulled him to a window side table for 2.
As soon as they sat down at a table a waiter walked over to hand them the menus. "Good afternoon, would you like to order any drinks while you look at the menu?" he asked. "I'll have what the lady want's." Yusei answered before looking at Akiza. "I'll just have water please." Akiza replied, the waiter nodded and left them to look at the menus. Akiza and Yusei both could not believe the options that were available that they could choose, all high class meals but the price was more like they should be in a normal cafe. At first Yusei wanted to order something he liked but with Akiza being there we wanted to share something with her, so he looked at the thing to share but he did not know Akiza was thinking the same thing.
Back at Akiza's house Jenny was relaxing, she managed to finish all her jobs early and had nothing left to do. "Great all done, now I can have some me time. I never thought doing this job was going to be so hard yet so fun. Well it's better than what I was doing weeks ago anyway." She said with a giggle. She decided to watch some TV but before she did her dragon mark reacted. "What a sec, something is happening between those two! Thinking about it Akiza has been with him a lot this last week, I wonder what's been happening. Their love for each other must be blooming like a newly budded flower. Maybe I can sense what is happening?" she said before closing her eyes. What she felt thought her connection was building desires, whole hearted love and something else she did not recognise coming from Akiza which confused her. "That's funny their both felling the same but there's something coming from Akiza that dose not feel right, I better keep an eye on that, something tells me it's not good."
Yusei and Akiza continued to look as meals for two trying to work out what both of them would eat. "Oh I can't decide at all." Yusei admitted after 10 minutes. "Neither can I Yusei, I always would know what I want to eat but this time I can't." Akiza said in agreement. "Akiza what would you say if I asked you if wanted to share something?" Yusei asked. "Yusei I would think that was a good idea, it would cut the cost but it would be more special. To be honest I was thinking about the same thing." Akiza reply which surprised Yusei. "You were Akiza?" Yusei asked and she just nodded to him. "Why don't we close our eyes and just pick one of the meals for two at random and whatever we pick we talk about and then order?" Akiza asked which was a good idea with Yusei. They closed their eyes and did the suggestion Akiza said and pointed at an item at random; when they opened them again they were both surprised to see that they pointed to the same menu option. "Get the feeling that great minds think alike?" Yusei asked. "Or its was just a lucky coincidence." Akiza teased. "Maybe, anyway we have our choose now so why don't we order it now." Yusei said and Akiza nodded in agreement.
When the waiter finally took their orders they turned to face each other and Yusei wanted to start a conversation, however their eyes locked and they both just lost themselves in them all over again. After a few minutes they reached over to hold each other's hands with their fingers intertwining. They were just happy to stay like that and enjoy the moment. 'His eyes, why can't I stop looking in to them.' Akiza thought. Yusei however while thinking the same thing about Akiza, he also ahd something elce going though his mind. 'I can't believe how beautiful she is. She took care of me even though she did not have to. Her skin feels so soft. I can't imagine a life without her now.' Yusei thought.
When their food did finally arrive Akiza and Yusei were able to enjoy it without losing themselves for the 2nd time since they arrived. "So what's your plan while you're here then Akiza?" Yusei asked. "Yusei I'm hoping to find a job here in domino as a nurse, but if I can't find on within 6 months I have to return to my parents in Germany. Thing is with what has happened between us in the last week I don't even want to even think of doing that as all." Akiza said with a small tear coming out of her left eye. Yusei spotted the tear and with his right hand took the tear away, but the move sent a bolt of electricity through Akiza and made her blush pink. "I understand Akiza; I hope you manage to find a job here as well. To be really truthful I agree with you, I wouldn't want you to leave again. I've missed you so much while you were gone; if I could I would go with you if that happens." Yusei confessed. "But you can't the law here say's that anyone who is not adopted from an orphanage before their 13th birthday can't apply for passports. And my father was one of the people to set that stupid law." Akiza said in an angry tone, Yusei realised Akiza wasn't happy about that but knew it wasn't her fault. "True but the only way around it is for a wealthy benefactor to support the application, only thing is I haven't got anything that can be used to support it. What's worse I can't even go to Domino University to learn anything towards what I want to do for a job. The only thing I can do right now is fix duel runners and I'm not even enjoying that anymore." Yusei said sadly. Akiza felt sorry for Yusei, he had a dream job but fate had blocked every path to do it. 'I wish I could help him but the law does not allow senator family members act as benefactors. Even though her dad is in Germany he still acts as one for New Domino. There has to be a way to help him?' Akiza thought desperate to help him. Yusei could not belive what was happening, he brought Akiza here to enjoy a meal but now the mood had changed to something sad and he hated it. Akiza could see it in his eyes that he was upset with himself, 'does he think he has ruined the date with our talk just now?' she thought.
When they did finish their meal Yusei called the waited to pay for everything, he still felt guilty for the subject ruining the mood and wanted to leave quickly but Akiza could tell what Yusei was up to. 'There has to be something I can do to cheer Yusei up. Hold on what if took him to that place Martha told me about before Yusei arrived that day..'
FLASHBACK
Akiza was helping Martha with the lunch and was preparing the cheesecake for dessert. She had never made one before so Martha was watching her and advising when needed, Martha was impressed with Akiza. "You're doing a good job with that Akiza." Martha said. "Thanks Martha, I know you normally don't let guests prepare food but I really want to do this for Yusei. It means a lot to me." Akiza replied. "It's not a problem Akiza; I need to go out after lunch anyway so you and Yusei can enjoy it together. Although I would like to try some maybe later." Martha suggested. Akiza nodded with a big smile on her face. "That's fine Martha I can leave you some for when you're ready. Would you mind Martha if I ask you something personal about Yusei?" Akiza asked. "It would depend on the question to wither I can answer or not." Martha teased. "Did Yusei have any strange events in the last few weeks?" she asked confusing Martha. "What do you mean by events?" Martha replied. "Well..." Akiza explained about some of the strange things that happened to her before she decided to return to Domino city.
Martha suddenly noticed a connection between what Akiza told her and what Yusei told her a week ago. "Hold on. Yusei told me something similar. Over a week ago before the twins whos apartment hes looking after left to go on holiday, Yusei and them went out for a meal to a place none of them could even say. The sun was going down at the time and the sunset caused Yusei to have a breakdown." Martha explained, Akiza became concerned about that but didn't say anything and continued to lisson. "That night he had a dream of a meeting the girl of his dreams, and he thought it was you Akiza. The morning after he phoned me up complaining his arm hurt and a mark had appeared on his arm, but when she showed me his arm over the vid-phone there was nothing there. At the time I thought Yusei was having a joke with me at the time so I didn't pay too much attention to that really." Martha finished. Akiza could not believe that Yusei had a similar event to her but the fact Yusei had a breakdown caused by a sunset seemed even more strange to her. Akiza thought about it and wondered if there was something on that day that must had triggered it off. "Martha about that sunset you said was they anything different about it, or something around him that may have caused it." Akiza asked. Martha was impressed with Akiza for asking a question like that, it shows she cared and wanted to help if this was going to be a regular issue to keep in mind. "Well one of the twins Luna called me and told me they was a few couples around watching it while holding hands. When he saw it he raised on of his hand and just looked at it and started crying. She also said he seemed to look lonely inside and needed something. She thought maybe he needed a female companion he could talk to around his age." Martha explained.
Akiza could understand that since her parents would not allow her to interact with boys at all. "Akiza if you ever want to cheer Yusei up, you should take Yusei to Domino East Bridge at sunset. He always loved to go there as a child and even now it is one of his favourite places to go to. He stopped going there a year ago and told me 'the next time I go there I want to go with someone I care about' if you took him I think he would be really happy." Martha added before moving to set the table. "Yusei must really love to watch the sunset, maybe that's something we can do together sometime." She said to herself.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Yusei there's somewhere I would like to go before we go home. Would you go there with me please?" Akiza asked knowing what she needed to do, get Yusei to 'east Domino Bridge' before sunset. "I guess so Akiza." Yusei said sadly not even thinking to ask where they would be going. Yusei called the waiter over and paid the bill before they both left the restaurant, Yusei just followed Akiza in the direction of she choose. Akiza kept looking back at Yusei with worry in her eyes, she needed to get Yusei to the bridge quickly since the sun was beginning to set. "Yusei hurry up where going to be late!" Akiza said as she grabbed his arm and began to drag him along. "Akiza what's the hurry anyway?" Yusei asks. "Wait and see Yusei, all I am going to say is you will love it." Akiza replied with a smile on her face. 'Unless it is as good as you Akiza I don't think it will help.' He thought sadly.
After nearly 25 minutes of walking they made it to the bridge but Yusei did not notice, and as Akiza expected the sunset was beginning to drop behind the horizon. The sea and the sky began to turn red as the sun descended, Akiza looked at it and was amazed at the sight. 'I can see what Martha meant now. The sunset here is perfect.' She thought before letting go of Yusei and walked a few pases in front of Yusei. "Yusei what to you feel when you look at me?" Akiza asked. "I feel like I have a bright future as long as your there with me Akiza, I told you that before." Yusei replied not knowing why she asked. Akiza realised it wasn't working, so she looked at the sunset, as she looked at it she noticed the best location for what she planned. She walked back to Yusei and took his hand and walked him in to the right place, before turned him quickly and kissing him on the lips. 'What is she doing? Why are you ...' he thought before he lost in train of thought completely. 'Ok now to turn him around again to point him towards the sunset.' She thought before managing to do the said task without Yusei event noticing.
After a few minutes Akiza pulled away to for some much needed air. "What's going on Aki... is that?" Yusei started to questioned before he saw the outline of the sunset behind Akiza. Akiza moved to his side revealing the sunset that Yusei loved to see, only then did he look around and realised where he was. "Akiza this is East Domino Bridge; I used to love coming here with Martha a lot when I was younger." He started before he senced some foul play going on, how did she know about this place. "Akiza how did you know about this place?" Yusei questioned. "Yusei when I was at Martha's last week she told me about this place, and about what happened to you with Leo and Luna." She answered before continuing. "She told me that it was a sunset like this that caused you to have a breakdown with them, and how you wished you had someone in your life. You have been longing for something and someone you could hold hands with and love with all your heart." Yusei was shocked, Akiza knew what he had told Luna but he did not know why she brought him here still. "Akiza I that's true but I still don't get why you brought me here." He said.
Akiza reached over and held his hand; Yusei looked down and saw this before looking back at Akiza. "Yusei I brought you here because ... I want you to know I understand how you feel. I want you to know that I will be here for you, and will always have a hand you can hold while you watch the sunset you love. I love you Yusei and I always will, so please don't worry about upsetting me when we talk. And by the way you did not spoil the meal so stop kicking yourself." Akiza said surprising Yusei again. "Hold on how did you manage to read my mind just then anyway?" Yusei questioned again. "Well why don't you kiss me here and find out!" she challenged knowing Yusei would not back down from that challenge, she was only teasing him though with that. So Yusei did what Akiza told him to do, their marks began to glow red and they began to hear what the other was thinking and Yusei could not believe it. Even Akiza began to hear Yusei's thoughts and it caught her out as well but she decided to see if was real first. He moved back and said "What was that? How did I hear that?" Yusei said in shock, he never though he would here what he did during a kiss. "What did you hear Yusei then Yusei?" she asked. "You said ... you said 'cherish this moment Yusei like what I do. I am here and will be your light of hope' or something like that." He said to Akiza's amazement. Akiza's eyes widened, it was not exactly what she was thinking but it was close enough. 'Did we both just read each other's mind? This could be useful in the future if it was.' She thought to herself. "Was I right Akiza?" Yusei asked wondering if he was right. Akiza shuck her head then dived in to his chest with a tear in her eye. "Akiza?" he asked again. "No Yusei it wasn't right, but I liked it though, it's what I felt anyway. I'll be you light of hope and you can be my pillar of strength like when we were kids." She replied. Yusei blushed red at those words she used, he was Akiza's pillar of strength as a kid and even now Akiza needed that but he did not know why. He wanted to ask about that but then he saw the sunset at its fullest and lost the words.
'Akiza thank you, I wish today was my birthday now because you made my real wish come true right now.' He thought as he held Akiza close to his chest and they both just watched the sunset together. He may not have been holding her hand but right now he thought this was better, the perfect girl, the perfect place and the perfect moment. As the sun disappeared from the horizon they both knew it was time to go home but they were not ready to separate even thought they had to. "I guess we better be going home right?" Yusei asked. Akiza nodded before saying "Your place or mine Yusei?" not realising what she said. "How about I walk you home first then I walk home after." Akiza nodded and the both of them held hands and started to walk home. They both knew they would sleep and dream well tonight. Their date was a success even with Yusei near breakdown. 'I know now Akiza is the one I want to be with forever, no always.' Yusei though clearly. 'Yusei I will be with you always and one day maybe we will be a family. I would love that.' Akiza though clearly as well not realising she was thinking that far ahead after only a week together.
Watching above someone watched the moment that happed and was glad to see the two lovers connecting in that way. "THE TWO OF THEM ARE JUST LIKE THEM FROM THE PAST, MAYBE THEY ARE TRUE SOUL MATES LIKE WHAT SHE SAID. THEIR BONDS HAVE GROWN AND WILL GROW EVEN MORE, AND THE POWER OF THAT BOND WILL EVENTUALLY KEEP THE SEAL STRONG. I WILL LEAVE THEM IN YOUR HANDS MANA." Said the spirit and left to return to the sky. Jenny was looking out the window and saw the spirit and just giggles. "I guess you felt is to master Crimson, their bond is stronger than them from the past and they will fight for each other if they have to. Their dreams will come true and the immortal ones will never rise again, they just need a final push to the next level but it will happen if my name isn't Jenny. Which it's really isnt." Jenny said before returning to work still worried about what she sensed earlier.
