Chapter 20 - Forever Together, Heart and Soul
It has now been 3 months since the miracle of the Dragons, and life for Yusei and Akiza has now changed for the better. They agreed to buy the holiday home as their home on a permanent basis, so they now own the place. The location was perfect for them; they were in a quite location outside the city. The air was fresher and much healthier as well. The two of them had everything they needed to live a life they were happy with together. Akiza was accepted at the hospital in domino on a permanent basis by the original owner, and even managed to get promoted within a month of starting because of her heard work, she now was in charge of her own team within the hospital as well. Akiza showed leadership qualities that even she didn't realise she had at all, and even had made a good relationship within the hospital. This benefited the two of them since Yusei was asked to come to the hospital every few days to help entertain kids that were stuck there while their parents were being seen. Yusei would teach kids how to play Duel Monsters and even gave cards out to some of the kids who needed them. In fact Yusei's presents had a positive effect on the hospital as the Managers decided to hire Yusei to work in the hospitals Child care area that was set up on a daily basis during the week. Akiza's would visit often to check in on him but never had to worry at all, Yusei showed he could look after the kids without any issues and parents were happy to leave them with the former turbo duel champion. In fact he became so popular at the hospital that they started holding duelling events outside the hospital once a month to let the kids meet new friends and have fun. Yusei would give the kids that won the mini tournaments a ride on his duel runner as long as their parents gave their consent first. Jack and Crow would take the Mickey out of them for being the "Turbo-Nurse" pairing of the hospital but they didn't mind, in fact they liked that name they were given but wouldn't tell jack that.
On the weekend Akiza got time off to spend with Yusei alone, but they used this to their advantage. Since they were still connected through their dragon bond they became an unstoppable tag team, Yusei built Akiza a Duel Runner so she would be able to get to work through the tunnel at their home on time without having to wake him up on a morning. So on a weekend they would ride together around Neo Domino city engaging in Turbo Tag Duels, which started to become popular because of Yusei. A new Speed world Card was introduced called "Speed World 3 – Tag Force" as well. This new card removed the speed spell ruling from the original rules for turbo duels when used for tag duels only, this benefited Akiza since she didn't use the speed spells in duels before and made it easier for new duellists to Turbo duel until they got used to it, and when they were ready to go out on their own they went to the normal rules using "Speed world 2". Jack and crow were unaware of their Tag duelling on a weekend since most often they would be sleeping most of the weekend. What helped this was the fact that Tag turbo duellists are registered under a team name not as individuals, although they decided to use the team name "Turbo-Nurse" hoping one day Jack and Crow would notice and so far they hadn't.
One day though Jack and Crow were up and about thinking about Yusei, they hadn't heard from him in ages and except for working at the hospital with Akiza they had no idea what he did now. "You know Crow ever since that pillar of light appeared Yusei has been MIA. We can't even Call him now, even those twins he used to look after don't she them that often as well." Jack said annoyed. "Jack you know full well Yusei has his own life to live, we can't expect him to visit us on a weekend when we are in town you know. Besides I bet he is dating that Akiza girl still." Crow said calmly. "That's not the point Crow we are the enforcers and should be meeting up regularly! He is breaking the club rules." Jack reminded. "Yes yes jack ….. hay look stardust and rose dragons comes." Crow said confusing jack. "What did you say Crow." Jack questioned. "Jack its Stardust and Black Rose Dragon! Up their!" Crow shouted looking up at the Duel lane nearby. Stardust and Black Rose Dragons went right past them at high Speed, Jacks face dropped and he jumped out of his chair. "Are they Dueling on the duel lane? I've heard nothing about this." Jack questioned before running to his runner to check the current duel records. "Find anything Jack?" crow asked. "I don't get it according to this there is not duels with Yusei in it currently active. But there is a Tag Team called Turbo-Nurse currently duelling team T. right now though." Jack said with a laugh. "Seriously who names their team Turbo-Nurce!" Jack finished.
Crow was about to laugh himself but then he thought of something. "Hay Jack didn't we call someone that before?" Crow wondered out loud. The Two duelists thought for a moment until they both realised at the same time "WE CALLED YUSEI AND AKIZA THAT DIDN'T WE?" they shouted together before noticing their dragons disappear in to the distance. Crow went onto the tracker and brought up there team records and I was in for a shock "Holly Crap they have been duelling every weekend for the last two month Jack and their on an unbeaten streak. And according to this their current team work level is …. PERFECT!" Crow shouted out in shock. "Hay Crow I have a feeling Yusei and Akiza may be after our team title, we will have to watch out if we face them if they really are that good now!" jack said before crow shot him down. "No chance of that Jack their playing under that new Speed world 3 card that came out. They can't compete at the same level as us. Guess there tag duelling for fun not to compete." He replied.
"Oh right we won Yusei!" Akiza shouted as they won their 15th tag duel. "Sure we did Akiza; we are the best combination out there. Oh we better turn off soon the Hospital is coming up." Yusei pointed out. "Right see you their then Yusei." She replied before racing off. "That Akiza I'll get her for that!" he said as he accelerated to catch up. Yusei and Akiza pulled in at Domino hospital, it felt strange showing up here on their weekend but they had a test booking for Akiza. They walked into the clinic and the secretary noticed them. "Oh Akiza and Yusei what brings you here today." The lady asked. "Hi Jane we have an appointment today with Doctor Benny." Akiza explained to Jane's surprise. "Wait are you saying?" she asked but Akiza stopped her. "We are not sure Jane I'm getting checked out just to put our minds at ease." She explained. Jane understood and registered them in for their appointment. "Ok you're booked in would you just sit down please." Jane said. "Yusei I'll go and put this on before we get called in ok." Akiza said pointing out here duelling gear (her anime turbo gear). "Ok Akiza." He said happily before Akiza popped into the toilets to undress her Duel gears top and put a t-shirt on.
Yusei was a little worried as he feared their actions from 3 months ago may have jeopardised Akiza's job. Akiza had tried to make Yusei not worry so much but he was still full of guilt about it. "If I hadn't suggested that when we were staying for our few day holiday we wouldn't be here now for this test." Yusei said quietly. "Yusei its ok, I'm not worried at all. Let's just get the test done then we will know for sure. Ok?" Akiza said as she returned. "I guess so Akiza but I'm still worried about it anyway. I don't even know if we are ready for this, it's a big thing you know." Yusei explained. Akiza just kissed him on the cheek to reassure him. "Yusei what happened has happened, what happens will happen. We will face this together ok. Beside the idea of this has me worried as well you know. Let's get the answer we want then we talk about it afterwards." Akiza repeated. "Remember we did that turbo duel first to get you to relax, now don't crumble on me now." Yusei nodded, he knew Akiza was right since most often she was about things like this. "Miss Akiza Izinski please" Doctor Benny called, and the two duellists stood up and walked into the room. After a while Akiza was laying on the hospital bed, she had to force part of the lower section of her duel gear down for the nurse to do the test. "Now Akiza you were the last one I expected to be coming for an ultra sound today when I got my appointment list. From what I knew you were not expecting and you haven't had a test before now." Benny asked, Yusei looked down slightly still worried, Akiza knew this so she explained.
"Well we didn't plan on it at all but we aren't even sure if I am right now. We wanted to get an ultra sound just to check to put our minds at ease." Akiza explained. "How long would you say you could be from your Point of view." Benny asked. "It could be up to 13 weeks I think, if I am." Akiza said calmly. The nurse that was checking Akiza's lower tummy was getting very confused as she looked around. "Doctor I've check the lady 3 times and I can't find any signs of a fetus. It looks like a false positive result." The nurse said to Benny and Akiza. Yusei was so worried still that he didn't hear anything but the positive word; he placed his head in his arms panicking. "Yusei did you hear that?" Akiza said worried for him. "Im so sorry Akiza it's all my entire fault!" Yusei said not realising he had got the wrong end of the stick. "Yusei look at me." She said and Yusei looked up with tears in his eyes. "Yusei I think you misheard her. It was a false positive. It means there is nothing there." She explained simply. Yusei's heart finally felt better he had all that guilt in him and it felt like he had been stupid. "Akiza is you friend ok?" Benny asked concerned. Akiza explained what had been going on lately since her periods seamed to just stop, they were worried she was pregnant but the tests they got kept coming up negative, but because of the it Yusei had been scared for her the last few weeks. "Ah now I get the picture Akiza. Mr Fudo there is nothing wrong at all. I'm sure Akiza may have told you this but it's not irregular for some girls to have skipped periods. They should start again on their own but for now I would suggest you take this young lady home and relax." Doctor Benny instructed. "Oh and Akiza I would recommend some green tea for your friend. It may help his nerves as well." Akiza nodded even though she was the one being checked out, Yusei showed how sensitive he was when Akiza was involved.
As Yusei and Akiza were walking towards the exit, Leo and Luna were about to arrive at the Hospital, they both were due for a check-up after returning from abroad. Leo was still chipper about being home even though they had been back for 3 months, but Luna was still worried about Yusei. He hadn't been coming to visit like he used to and that fact he wasn't had home when they came back had Luna worried something had happened to him. She had heard rumours from Jack and Crow about him a few days after they got back but couldn't contact him to confirm any of it. "Hay come on Luna I know we aren't fans of hospitals but you're more down than normal. Cheer up." Leo said with his cheeky smile, but it wasn't helping. "Leo I though you of all people would be questioning what happened to Yusei. We haven't seen him for 9 months, and all we hear is rumours from Jack and Crow that he abandoned the city for some girl he doesn't know. Don't you find that odd?" Luna said back still depressed. "Oh relax I'm sure …Yusei's Runner… will show… up?" Leo suddenly stopped in mid sentence. "Leo what now?" Luna said with venom as she was fed up now of his antics. "Luna isn't that Yusei's Runner?" Leo questioned. Luna looked up in the direction Leo was pointing, Leo was right by the hospital entrance was Yusei's duel runner parked next to a Fancy red runner as well. Suddenly Luna cheered up "Your right Leo it is his runner!" she said and ran over to it. The two twins couldn't believe that his runner was there at the hospital, but then Luna started worrying again. "If his runners here, then why is he at the hospital? Oh no he can't be!" Luna said as she started to panic, and ran toward the Entrance to the hospital. "Luna slowdown!" Leo shouted but it was too late.
The door opened and luna bumped into a gentleman, and fell down. "Oh ouch what hit me?" Luna questioned feeling a little shaken up. "Well I haven't seen you two in a while, how are you Luna?" the man questioned. Luna's eyes opened wide, she recognised that voice from somewhere and looked up to see none other than Yusei in front of her. "Yusei!" Luna shouted and jumped op off the ground and gave him a massive hug, Leo ran over and joined in as well. "Hay hay, calm down. When did you two get back? It's been a long time." Yusei said calmly Akiza just watched but wondered what was going on though. "Yusei who are these two children?" she asked not trying to sound rude to them, did didn't recognise them even though she was a picture of them before. "Oh right you three haven't met each other have you." Yusei realised and continued after kneeling down to their levels. "Luna and Leo I want you to meet someone. Leo and Luna meet Akiza Izinski, Akiza meet Leo and Luna, their the twins I was house sitting for…..." Yusei suddenly stopped and realised he hadn't forgot to check in on the tops for the last 3 month. "…Oh my God, I'm so sorry guy I completely forgot about the tops. I haven't been there in that few months." Yusei apologised. Luna could tell something was different with Yusei from how she remembered, then the name he introduced to her clicked. "Akiza Izinski? You're the girl Yusei had the breakdown about before we went away!" Luna said suddenly. Akiza nodded, she heard that story from Yusei so it didn't surprise her after what happened earlier in the surgery. Luna ran over to Akiza and gave her a hug to Leo's surprise. "Hay Luna you're not supposed to hug strangers remember." Leo teased. "You idiot this is no stranger. Its Yusei's crush from years ago. The girl he told us about that he missed all those years." Luna explained to Leo's shock. "Oh yuck no you will be telling me you're married or something gross like that." Leo said. Yusei didn't answer that but instead walked to Akiza and kissed her on the lips while holding her waist. The reaction made Luna blush and Leo turn around pretending to be sick. Luna, Yusei and Akiza laughed after that.
The two of them stayed with Leo and Luna while they got their checkups just to give them some support, Akiza helped them by explaining the result afterwards in a easier way for them you understand. "Wow Akiza you quite smart for a beautiful lady." Leo came out with randomly. Luna slapped him on the back of the head before reminding him "Leo think it, not say it remember. That's Yusei's girlfriend you're talking about." Leo just stopped talking after that, he didn't want to get in any more trouble there. Akiza went on to explain she was a nurse at the hospital so she knew what the result meant. Yusei then told them about how he had been working at the hospital as well and as childcare guy, looking after the kids while their parents were in there appointment, and Akiza confirmed how natural he was with them as well. "So you basically get paid to do what you used to do with us then?" Leo said getting a stern reaction from the others. "Leo this and that are not the same! We considered Yusei our guardian unofficially, but there he is watching the kids and entertaining them." Luna explained. Akiza was surprised at Luna, her answer as simple but detailed as well. "I'm amazed you explained that so well Luna. You're wise for your age." Akiza said to Luna, and she smiled at the complement. "Wow thanks Akiza." Luna replied proudly, she was starting to look at Akiza like a big sister now even though this was their first meeting; she was becoming inspired by her as well.
"So when are the two of you back at school?" Yusei asked. "We started back 2 months ago Yusei, we're now 2nd years at Duel Academy Red." Leo replied. "Wow you're at Duel Academy. That's brilliant, I'm sure the two of you will do fine this year." Akiza added. "Thanks Akiza I'm sure we will. Oh what have you two been up to the last few months Yusei? No one has heard anything from you lately." Akiza continued. Yusei looked at Akiza and she looked back at him. "Would you like to tell them or should I?" Yusei asked Akiza. "Why don't you Yusei, you have known them longer than me." She suggested to which Yusei nodded in agreement. "What's going on?" Leo asked wanting to know badly now. "Come on Leo just sit down and listen for goodness sake." Luna sternly told to Leo. "Well Luna and Leo. We want you to be the first to know something. Me and Akiza …. " Yusei started and Akiza nodded to Yusei for encouragement. "We are engaged to me married." he announced. Luna's smile grew large on hearing this but Leo's jaw dropped. "Oh no Yusei's going to get all kissy all the time now! No thank you." Leo replied. "Oh grow up Leo I think its wonderful news I'm happy for you two." Luna replied back. Akiza and Yusei just giggled at Leo, "I told you Leo would react like that when we told them didn't I Akiza?" Yusei commented. "You sure did Yusei." Akiza continued, even Luna had to laugh at that since they read Leo like a book and it was funny to see.
When Luna stopped laughing she remembered something that she heard when away. "So Akiza did Yusei get you a ring?" She asked which Akiza blushed at, she nodded and Luna walked over to Akiza, "Can I see it?" she finished. "Sure Luna." Akiza answered, she showed Luna her ring Yusei gave her and Luna gasped. Akiza's Ring was a 24 carat Gold ring with 3 stones, a ruby in the centre with a emerald and a sapphire on either side of it and surrounded by diamonds all around it. 'Oh wow that ring looks so beautiful.' She thought with wide eyes, Akiza noticed this. "You like it don't you Luna?" she asked. "No Akiza I love this ring. It's so beautiful." Luna replied but then a thought crossed her mind. 'How could Yusei afford so an expensive looking ring. The money we gave him to look after the tops couldn't have paid for that.' She thought to herself, but Yusei noticed and had a feeling he knew what Luna was thinking. "Luna I dint use that money for that if that's what you're worried about." Yusei said assuming his hunch was right. Luna gasped at that and looked in shock. "How did you work that out Yusei?" she questioned. "Luna that ring was given to me by my parents." He explained before Luna, Leo and Akiza all looked at him in surprise, Akiza didn't know anything about this. "Yusei this ring you gave me is you mums? Why did you give me something so special?" Akiza wondered, she was worried she couldn't accept the ring now. Yusei took Akiza's hand into hers before explaining about the note that was attached to the ring box. "It told me to give it to the girl that was my one true love. But also that if I ever had a son I was to pass it down to him like they did to me." he finished, Akiza's eyes filled with tears hearing such a beautiful tale.
"This ring means a lot to your family doesn't it Yusei. Thank you for giving me this, it means a lot to me now that I heard that story." Akiza said before hugging Yusei tight with her tears still falling, filled with happiness, even Luna was touched by that story as well. "That's so sweet Yusei, to think Akiza is the one for you makes that story and its meaning even more special doesn't it?" Luna asked to which Yusei only nodded yes. Leo didn't get the whole sentiment for a ring so he kept his mouth shut for a change, but when he looked at the clock he realised they were late. "Luna I hate to say this but we need to get home soon, our tutor is coming to check on us this evening remember." Leo said to Luna's realisation. "Ah your right I completely forgot about that. I'm sorry Yusei and Akiza but we need to get off. I hope you will come and visit us now you know we are back. See you soon." Luna quickly said before waving along with Leo and left to get home. "Yusei those two are so sweet. I think we should find time to see them sometime." Akiza suggested. "Whys that Akiza?" he wondered. "Well I think Luna would make a lovely Flower girl for our wedding I think and Leo could be our Ring boy!" Akiza explained. "I think that's a good idea Akiza. Let's tell them when we are ready though." Yusei suggested. "Deal." Akiza answered simply. "Well we better get home Akiza. We have a distance to travel after all." Yusei pointed out. "True Yusei, we can't use the tunnel to get home since we drove here from outside. Let's go home." Akiza finished before the two of them high fived and set off.
As the two of them left the city Akiza couldn't help looking at her ring again, she couldn't believe that it was a family Heirloom he had been passed down, and now it was on her finger. She felt more special now than ever before now she was told the story of this precious item. "Yusei must have, no had to be sure about it before he brought out this ring. After all proposing is something that must be right after all." She said to herself as she watched Yusei leading the way home. She wished her parents were her to share in her happiness but she knew they couldn't be there at the moment, she was happy that they accepted Yusei's proposal though. She was still surprised by the issues they had the last 2 months but she was glad they managed to get a clean slate after what happened that day. "To think this whole issue started that morning after our wild evening."
FLASHBACK (3 months ago)
It was the morning after the dragon miracle. Akiza woke up with the light of the sun shining through the open window, she was still really groggy and a little weak but she felt really good inside. She stayed laying on Yusei until she was awake. Yusei was still asleep and looked rested, she didn't want to disturb him so she tried to get off him without him waking up but then she had a problem. As she moved up into the cowgirl position she used the previous night she felt something move inside her. As she reached the upright position that feeling got intense, and she moaned quietly. 'Why did I moan just then?' she wondered before she looked down and felt with her hand the problem. 'Oh no Yusei's rod is still inside me and it still feels so huge!' Akiza said worried with a blush on her face. Her Legs began to shake because she was starting to get excited again and she couldn't right then.. She summoned all the strength she could in her legs and started to slowly lift her body off his rod, but she had to take longer than she wanted. It felt like the inside of her Cave and his rod was stuck together and the slow moving inside her was making her legs shiver even more and she got more and more aroused inside. 'Come on Akiza, Don't lose yourself. Just get it out!' she said as she made a sudden jerk of her hips she somehow loosened the sticky sensation inside her and it became easier to lift herself, although Yusei looked like he was disturbed from his sleep but luckily he wasn't. It took another few minutes to finally wiggle Yusei's rod out of her cave, and she rolled off the bed. Even though she managed to get Yusei out of her the lady cave was stuck open for some reason and her legs lost its strength completely. She stayed on her knees for nearly 10 minutes before her cave finally closed up but even then she could still Yusei inside her. "Dam that must be what happens if you have one inside you all night and try to get it out." She thought finally after she felt her cave finally closed.
Even thought her body now felt like it was ok, as she tried to stand up her hips began to hurt a lot and even her core felt stiff as well. 'Oh my god! How mush sex did we have last night. My body feels like it's been in a cars crash. I feel so stiff today.' She thought as she looked to Yusei, she was amazing that such an average looking man could fulfil her so much and make her body hurt so much after one night, but then she saw something that filled her with horror. 'Oh no the condom failed! Yusei's and me! I could be pregnant!' she thought to herself. She attempted to take the condom off Yusei's rod so she could cover him up before she got any dirty ideas in her head. She was surprised to find that the condom had failed right at the end but whatever mixing of juices happened inside her cave had made the protection go completely solid, but was also sticky as well. "That's why if felt so large this morning." She said quietly and continues to remove it without Yusei waking up. When it was off she found Yusei's rod had shrunk and wasn't even the side of the condom at all, the time she took helped her legs to build up some strength again so she was able to get up and walk, even if her hips felt like they would fail on her any second. As she got into the shower she held the solid condom and her head filled with thoughts of what happened that night. Her heart was happy that she did the activity but her head was scared that she could have made a big mistake. "Did Yusei's release in me when this failed? Did it happen before the fail? Have I become a parental mother already before I even got started to work? What should I do?" Akiza said to herself scared out of her wits.
A MONTH LATER
Akiza didn't have the heart to tell Yusei about the condom fail so she kept it to herself. They were now living full time at the holiday home which was now their home together. Akiza had just got home from work and Yusei had been working on a duel runner for Akiza. Since Akiza enjoyed the rides she had on his runner, she asked Yusei to teach her how to ride it on her own so she could use it to get to work for the time being. Since the tunnel they have access to was just a straight line from the holiday home to the hospital Akiza didn't need any more than the basics. She also decided she wanted to become a turbo dualist so the two of them could duel together at weekends, since Yusei wasn't working yet he used the time at the house during the day to build Akiza her very own runner. It was taking a while but Akiza didn't mind since she knew Yusei Would want to build it to be as safe as possible. When Akiza got home this time Yusei was taking a nap outside in the pool area so Akiza was able to sneak upstairs easily.
In the bathroom she got out of her bag a pregnancy test, the night before she dreamt about having a baby, upon waking up she remembered about the incident and the fact Yusei still didn't know what happened. She decided to buy a test just to check and if she was she would come clean with Yusei about the situation. After a few minutes waiting for the result she wasn't happy with the result at all.
"This can't be right at all!" she said to herself. The test was negative, but the failed condom was evidence of a positive chance. All of her training at medical school told her she has signs of being pregnant, she had missed a period which was due 2 weeks earlier, so she knew that there love making happened during her most fertile time as well. All the signs told her yes but the test told her no. Her heart was torn between believing her training with the evidence and the test result. She realised she didn't have a choice; she had to tell Yusei what had happened that day. It was better to do so now than later and risk everything.
END OF FLASHBACK
"I'm glad we know it was a false alarm now even though we left it a long time. Yusei was right we needed to be sure of everything first and it turned out I was fine. Now we can move forward. I can't wait to get married now and then we can think about starting our family. I wish we could skip time and see what would happen but we need to take our time and take it at our own pace." She said to herself as they arrived at the house. "Home sweet home Akiza!" Yusei said happily, as he looked to Akiza in her duelling gear. He had loved seeing her in it since she started turbo duelling. Her suit was almost skin-tight and it showed off her figure perfectly. It reminded her of their reunion at the spy party, so it made him fantasise about that day seeing her like that on her runner. Akiza knew that when she first got it but she didn't tell Yusei that this was the reason though. The Runner suit she uses was costumed this way to be both elegant in turbo duels but also sexy for Yusei to fantasize about. It also has the extra feature of a detachable skirt as well; this helped if they went out on their runners so even in her runner suit she could still do other things in it as well. Jenny was the one who suggested this feature but she hadn't been around they move in together. Akiza took off her helmet and her long read hair fell down her back, this always made Yusei's heart skip a beat every time. "Your right Yusei, living here always feels good after a hard day at work or tag duelling together." She commented in agreement. Yusei spent a moment watching Akiza as she as she dismounted her runner, before he ask "How's the Runner going on the road Akiza?" Since he had re-tuned it a few days ago and forgot to ask. "It runs and sounds like a dreams now Yusei. This thing feels as powerful as our dueling combination." She answered before walking over to him and finishing "Or our love making sessions, if you know what I mean." she finished with a wink. Yusei began to blush in response to that, before replying with the corniest line possible "Well with that chassie who could resist." Akiza could only laugh and added to that tease. "Well you installed the engine in it Yusei to really get it revving up." She knew their Yusei was talking about her but teased anyway. The two of them laughed as it felt like the right thing to do.
Akiza went to the bedroom to have take a short rest, While she may turbo duel once a week she was still getting used to the vibrations of the runner still, and it always made her a little tired at the end of the day. She had been stressed about the whole false pregnancy scare, so she took that chance to just rest and let it all go. Yusei sat by the pool just thinking about everything that happened the last 3 months. Akiza made the offer on the house to the owners and took over ownership for them; they both had a job at the hospital in different areas but still got to see each other regularly. Yusei proposing to Akiza, and now finding out Luna and Leo where home 3 months ago and didn't realise. He could still remember the first time Akiza came home on his runner wearing her Dueling suit. She came home from the highway to really catch out Yusei and it worked. It felt like a moment from a spy movie when the lead girl arrived on her bike, seeing her the first time in it felt like he went to heaven and Akiza had to reviving him with CPR, seeing her in it always took his breath away. Ever since that day Yusei would always look forward to the weekend, Saturday's now were dubbed Spy time, although Akiza didn't know about that. Yusei pulled out the ring box that once held the ring Akiza now wore proudly. He felt like the happiest man in the world knowing such a special ring was now on a special person like Akiza. Every day he would see that ring on her finger and felt proud that she would one day become his wife. "Wow I still can't believe all this started 9 months ago with that dream and now me and Akiza are living together. I was so worried when I called Akiza's parents without her knowing, I thought I would have had to beg for Akiza's hand." He said to himself as he remembered that day.
FLASH BACK (2 ½ months ago)
Yusei was at Akiza's house picking up some things Akiza wanted to be brought to their new home. Jenny was there to help with Akiza's Clothes since he didn't want to mess with Akiza's underwear, Jenny understood this so she didn't mind helping. Yusei was tidying up all of Akiza's photos she had in her old room but stopped when she was a picture of Akiza graduating with here parents, he pulled out a box from his jacket pocket and began to realise she couldn't do what he wanted to do. Jenny saw that Yusei was distracted by something, and walked over to see if he was ok. "Yusei is everything ok? You seem a little distracted." She asked. "Your right Jenny, I am. There is something I want to do but I just don't know how I can right now." He admitted sadly. "Do you want to tell me about it?" she asked back wanting to help, even though her mission was over Mana stayed at the manor in case something went wrong on earth between them two maintaining her hidden identity.
"Well I have something here I want to give Akiza but I don't know how I can right now." Yusei explained and showed her what was inside the box. Jenny saw the ring and thought it looked beautiful. "Oh Yusei you want to propose to Akiza don't you? I get it now you can't without the blessing of her parents? And you haven't met them." Jenny said after she worked it out. "That's right. I want to ask Akiza for her hand, and seal it with this ring from my mother. But I need permission from Akiza's parents first, so without that I'm stuck." Yusei explained sadly. "Have you talked to them over the video Phone Yusei?" Jenny wondered. "I haven't I don't even have a way to contact them." Yusei confirmed. "Well I could help their Yusei! I have Akiza's address book over here; it has the overseas number for Akiza's Parents current location. Why don't you take this and use the video phone downstairs to call them."Jenny suggested with a serious tone as she handed over the address book on the page he needed. "Go and get that girls hand as you put it." Yusei's eyes opened wide and after taking the address book she ran down stairs to do just that. "Looks like our Yusei has finally become a man now." She said to herself. "I hope he is ready for that Mana. Marriage is a big thing for even the strongest of men." Said a voice behind her. "Don't worry Yugi, Yusei has overcome a lot to get to this stage. I'm sure he will manage what he set out to go on his own without my help." Jenny replied to the voice. "After all my time here is over so I have to prepare to leave then we can be together at my place right Yugi?" she finished. The spirit of Yugi nodded and kissed Jenny on the lips before disappearing to wait for his love.
Yusei was on the phone with Setsuko and Hideo and things were a little tricky. Setsuko Akiza's mum was so happy for her daughter but Hideo was hesitant because of fact Yusei was an orphan, compared to Akiza who was well educated and had a better upbringing. "Yusei you really love my daughter don't you?" Setsuko asked to which Yusei nodded and told them about how she had looked after him that day he was ill and has treasured her ever since, more and more every day. "I couldn't think of a more kind hearted lady to spend my life with and that's why calling you today is so difficult. Mr and Mrs Izinski please would you give me your blessing." Yusei said as he bowed in respect to them. Setsuko gasped at the prospect of Akiza getting married. Hideo though wasn't completely happy about this. "Yusei we knew you when you and Akiza were at the play group as kids, even back then I always has an issue with orphans marrying into wealthy families. I must ask you hear what you can do to support Akiza. I don't want my daughter …" he said before Setsuko stopped him. "Hideo can't you see how nervous Yusei is right now. He asked us for our blessing not for a lecture about classes. Yusei it took you courage to call us to ask that didn't it. The fact you are doing this means you must have got something already to give our daughter right?" Yusei looked at Akiza's mother surprised before nodding. "Would you be able to show us it?" she finished. Yusei took out the ring box and opened it showing his mothers ring he wanted to give Akiza. "Oh Yusei that's a magnificent ring. I know Akiza would love that." Setsuko said before Hideo questioned it "Where did you get that ring from?" Yusei knew he needed to earn Hideo's trust to get the blessing so he told them the story of it to the amazement of Akiza's parents.
"Oh Yusei your mother would be so proud to know Akiza would be wearing that. And it's so thoughtful as well. You have my blessing to ask Akiza. What about you Hideo?" Setsuko finished putting Hideo on the spot. Yusei was half way their now but this was the toughest part. He need Akiza's father's blessing or else he was in real trouble, without Hideo's blessing they couldn't get married officially. Yusei's heart was beating at a mile a minute and he felt like he would pass out as her waited for the answer. "Yusei I only want the best for my daughter, I'm sure you understand that. Answer me one thing, if things came to the end and Akiza was in real trouble would you protect her and look after her? For richer and for poorer?" he asked Yusei and he replied with no hesitation as answered. "Mr Izinski for richer and for poorer I would protect Akiza with my life. I wouldn't let her be hurt, because I love her with all my heart." Yusei said. Those words hit Hideo like a storm, the words may have been simple but the heart behind those words was enough the hit him hard. "Yusei if you can love her as strong as those words were, then I'm sure the two of you will be happy together married." Hideo replied in approval, Yusei at first couldn't tell if that was a yes or a no. "You meen?" Yusei questioned. "Yes Yusei you have both of our permissions to ask Akiza to marry you" Hideo confirmed. Yusei could not believe that he received the blessing he hoped for. "Thank you Mr and Miss Izinski. I promise I will look after your daughter, and not let you down." He said as he once again bowed to them in respect. "Yusei we already knew you would look after our daughter, Akiza told use about what the two of you do together. She told us you look after her and always put her first. So we expect nothing more from you now, be the man we are already proud of that Akiza loves." Setsuko started before Hideo finished "Now go and make our daughter the happiest young lady in domino." "I will Thank you again." Yusei said proudly to his future parents in law. After Yusei had hung up on them the two proud parents couldn't stop talking about how proud they were, until Hideo remembered something "Oh no we forgot tell Yusei about the new law change that happened last month! He doesn't know that he can now marry legally now." He said worried until Setsuko stopped him. "Hideo I think he may already know that based on how we acted." Setsuko replied before walking away.
END OF FLASH BACK
"Man talking to Akiza's Parents that day was so nerve-racking, I only had one chance to be accepted by them and I was lucky they accepted me enough to let me ask the question." Yusei said with pride. Akiza walked out into the pool area wearing her Victorian style dress with her hair put up like when she would be at work. "It wasn't luck Yusei! You took a big risk in the hope to win over my parents without even knowing anything about them first, but they knew enough about you to be able to judge your character. They used how you responded to the questions with what I told them to decide on their own if you were right for me. They saw you were exactly as I described and could see your feelings were true enough to give you the blessing you wanted." Akiza explained proudly. "Your right Akiza, I never asked you about your parents the whole time we were together because I always focused on you and your safety first. So when I started thinking about asking you for your hand, I became so nervous I would be rejected by your parents." Yusei explained rethinking about that day. "Maybe so Yusei but you went the extra mile and wanted to earn their trust on your own, even if Jenny did give you the number for them that day." She teased.
Akiza bent over giving Yusei an eyeful as she kissed him on the lips. "You know Akiza that's day I built up the courage to ask you, what did you think was going on that night." Yusei wondered. "Well I thought it was strange that you wanted us to dress up like back at the spy party for one think. I didn't get the connection and I didn't have the wig anymore I had that day." Akiza said as she sat down remembering that day. "Although saying that Akiza, your hair had grown a bit since that day so you looked so close with your natural hair though." He pointed out. "That's true, but it still seamed odd at the time you wanted to do it though Agent Fudo." She teased. "Hay I just wanted to replay that day we met again originally. You can blame me for that trying to spice up an evening can you?" Yusei replied defended himself. "Yusei you just wanted to see me in skin tight cat suit again that's all." She snapped in a tease. "Akiza can you blame me for wanting to see the spy that was trying to capture my heart again." He suddenly came out with. "The spy that wanted…. Oh you mean when I ran off after that fall and got upset." she wondered. "Akiza you can't help me for the fact I wanted to relive a spy movie part where the male spy captured the female ones heart." Yusei teased. "Well you got your wish though and it was fun to play a spy again for an evening, and the night was fun as well. In a spy way at least." Akiza reminded thinking that spy movies always ended with the two in bed most often with nothing on. "Well we did have to show off all of our assets didn't we?" Yusei teased making Akiza blush. "Oh haha very funny agent Fudo." Akiza replied. The two of them laughed for ages after that because they both knew what it meant.
Later on Akiza was making dinner while Yusei working on Akiza's duel runner, she wanted her runner to be more useful than just for duelling so Yusei finishing the adaption's to the runner to allow it to hold emergency Medical equipment, he also made some adaption's to his runner to carry extra medical supplies if needed for Akiza. It wouldn't hold everything needed but a enough that Akiza could use until emergency services arrived. The hospital had heard about the idea and donated some funds to help with the adaption, although no one knew that the runner had originally been designed for that reason. Yusei had taken into account that accidents can happen on the duel lanes so the original design integrated compartments to hold supplies, however now he could finish them and set it up in a way Akiza could access easily. Akiza walked in to check on him "How it going Yusei?" she asked. "Very well actually, I've set up the compartments but I need you to help me lay out where the supplies go. It needs to be in a way you can work with easily." Yusei explained. "Ok Yusei I'll get the supply layouts from my folders later and we can work it out after dinner if you want." Akiza answered easily. Yusei nodded before Akiza walked back into the dining room. He began to think how far he had come this last year. He started as a former champion of turbo duelling, dreamed of one day finding a special person in his life, braking down in tears to a sunset feeling alone inside his heart to now being happy with a future wife living with him to share his highs and lows. He began to remember the day he popped the question, and how nervous he was that day.
FLASHBACK (4 days after talking to Akiza's parents)
Yusei was in the bedroom as he put on the tuxedo from the spy party, and was hoping Akiza got home soon, not because he was hungry but because this was the night he would propose to Akiza. Jenny was in the dining room preparing their meals and she has already prepared Akiza's cat suit form the party for her in advance. Jenny had decided that since Yusei and Akiza had officially moved in at the holiday home that she would suspend her duties with Akiza at her family home. There wasn't any point continuing now since Akiza had become completely independent and was starting her new life with Yusei. She was preparing a 3 course meal for them and wanted to make sure it was perfect for them, since this would be her last meal she made before returning to the spirit world with Yugi.
Yusei entered the room and Jenny was impressed with how he cleaned up, but she could tell he was nervous as well. His heart was beating at a mile a minute and he was starting to sweat. "Yusei here's a cup of green tea. Please sit down and relax, your only having a home cooked meal with you future wife." Jenny said simply. "I know that Jenny but I'm worried she won't say yes when I ask her. I don't have a plan B if that happens." Yusei admitted he had been shaking all day and for the last 2 days since talking to Akiza's parents and it was even making Jenny nervous. "Yusei Akiza loves you just as much as you love her. Just be the person you are and tell her how you feel. Open you heart when the time is right and ask. Don't hesitate and just be yourself. Come on would Akiza buy this house for the two of you to live together in if she would say no. Stop thinking and just feel, as Akiza would say." Jenny advised. Jenny's advise helped him calm down and relax a little as he drunk his green tea. Suddenly Yusei heard his runner arriving through the tunnel. "She is home!" Yusei called as his nerves started to play up again, Jenny realised the green tea came a little too late now but there was nothing she could do there now. "Yusei go out into the pool area for now until I tell you. If you see Akiza like this she will worry and you will become a train wreck. I'll sort Akiza out so just go and calm yourself down." She said sternly, Yusei nodded and walked out into the pool area and closed the door. Jenny closed the blinds behind Yusei before she went to Akiza and helped her in and make herself at home. "Good evening Miss Akiza. How was your day at work?" Jenny asked. "It went fine thanks Jenny, where's Yusei?" Akiza asked. "He is outside at the moment. I'm preparing dinner tonight for the two of you tonight. I've set out you spy suit in your bedroom for you to get changed into." Jenny informed. "Thanks Jenny, Oh do you have any idea what the spy thing is about?" Akiza wondered. "Honestly Akiza I haven't a clue at all. All I was asked was by Yusei to transport your cat suit over, and he asked me if I would make you two dinner tonight. So it's a complete mystery for me as well." Jenny explained. Akiza nodded before going upstairs to get ready, Jenny knew she would have to be on standby to help her if needed. 'I hope Yusei calms down enough you make it through this evening. At least he dosent have to worry about the food at least' Mana thought to herself before running up to help Akiza to get ready. When Akiza was getting the cat suit on she notised that she was getting it on a lot easier than last time. "Jenny have you done anything with this cat suit since last time?" she asked wondering if she knew. "Actually Miss Akiza I upgraded it for you since the last time you used it. It's a bigger size now I modified it just like the old one as well. After all if you use it again I won't be here to help you next time." Jenny informed. "Oh whys that Jenny?" Akiza wondered. "Well Miss Akiza since you and Yusei live here now and not at the your house. I've decided to stop working there, I don't think it's fair to keep being paid to look after a house that's not even being used anymore." Jenny explained. Akiza was a little surprised but understood her reasoning though. "I understand that Jenny. I really do think you have done a good job for me that last 6 months after I came home. Thank you." Akiza said happily as she gave Jenny a hug. "Thank you Akiza. Tonight is my last duty to you and Yusei, I will really miss being here but its time I went back out into the world and found my path like you have now." Jenny said happily. "You will be missed Jenny but I hope one day you would come and visit at least." Akiza insisted. "If I ever visit Domino ill be sure to do that Akiza. Anyway tonight is about you too so I better get back to work. Can't let you two down on my last day." Jenny said before leaving to room. "Wow no more Jenny after tonight, that's a tough one to swallow. I'll miss he but she is right there is no point keeping the mannor in top condition when it's empty. I'll have to let dad know so he can cancel it all I guess. That can wait till later though." Akiza said to herself before finishing putting the cat suit on for Yusei.
Yusei walked back inside after 10 minutes of calming down outside, he was still nervous about the question but at least he was more composed than earlier, the green tea had also helped now. Jenny walked downstairs after assisting Akiza with her suit, but she gave Yusei a wink of approval. Yusei closed his eyes and took 10 deep breaths knowing Akiza would be down soon and this was to prepare himself for the events that would happen. As he opened his eyes Akiza walked down the stairs wearing her spy cat suit, Yusei's face turned red as she walked down as he remembered how beautiful she looked in that outfit, and he felt like his heart would explode inside himself. "Wow Akiza…. You look beautiful." He said with a smile on his face. "Thanks Yusei, it not exactly as it was but it's the best I can do tonight." She replied as she walked over to kiss Yusei on the lips, Yusei didn't know it wasn't the exact same suit but it looked close enough to get away with. "So agent Fudo should we take our seats?" Akiza said acting like a spy, Yusei heard that and it gave him an idea, if he acted like a spy until it was time it might help his nerves. "Yes lady Aki. Let me help you." He replied. Jenny just nodded since Yusei found a way to keep calm. 'Ok Yusei told me he would pop the question before dessert. So I must give him the signal we talked about when I am going to take a break before I serve up the dessert.' Jenny reminded herself and she finished preparing the starter. She was glad Yusei and Akiza loved the upgraded cat suit and could use it easier now. She got herself focused on the job ahead for her final act with them.
FLASH BACK PAUSED
As Yusei was remembering the home cooked meal from that night, his thoughts were disrupted by Akiza as she called Yusei to come up for dinner, so he left the runner for now to join his future wife.
Yusei and Akiza enjoyed an enjoyable meal together in the dining room; Akiza lit-up some candles to make the meal more romantic. They both preferred to dine by candle light on an evening so they started having evening meals later than they used to. Yusei would see Akiza and still not believe said yes that day, and even Akiza still couldn't believe that he set up that night so perfectly. Without knowing as they ate they were reliving that memory in their own minds.
FLASH BACK CONTINUES
Jenny had just taken their plates away after they finished their main meal. Yusei and Akiza were still maintaining the spy roleplay and they were both having fun just being different for one night. Yusei knew that Jenny would leave the room soon to give him the opening he needed to ask the question. He was beginning to get nervous again and Akiza was noticing a different in his the way he was acting after the plates left. 'Whys Yusei getting worked up? He's been sweating a little all evening. Did something happen today?' she wondered but she didn't want to put a downer on the evening while Jenny was around. Jenny placed the Sponge pudding into the oven to cook so that gave them a 20 minute opening for Yusei to make his move. She walked over to them and said "The dessert is currently cooking so it will be another 20 minutes before its ready. I'll return in a while and give you some time alone." before giving a wink to Yusei letting him know it was time. "Thanks Jenny." Akiza replied. Jenny nodded to them before she left the room to give them time alone. Akiza then decided she had to know if Yusei was ok.
"So Yusei is everything ok? You've seemed a little distracted tonight." Akiza wondered. "Oh yes I'm fine Akiza I just have something on my mind that's all." Yusei said back but this made Akiza more determined to find out what was wrong. "Yusei you know you can talk to me about anything right, when you're like this I always worry about you." Akiza explained. Yusei looked at Akiza and he could tell from her eyes she was worried. Yusei realised he had to do it, he stood up and walked to Akiza and put his hand out. "Akiza would you come with me." He said, Akiza took his hand and they walked out into the pool area. As they walked outside Yusei was surprised that there was candles all around the pool. "Oh wow Yusei you did all this?" Akiza asked. Yusei was surprised himself as he didn't even set this up and didn't even plan this, but he went along with it. "Well Akiza your worth all of this after all." He replied. Jenny was watching from above in spirit form, Yusei didn't know she was the one who set it up with her magic. "Yusei come on the scene is set, the man brings the girl out to a romantic area and them asks the question. You can do it!" Jenny said to herself as she started a tape player with some romantic but calming music. "Yusei is this what you wanted me to see?" Akiza asked as the music started. "No Akiza there is a reason I wanted you out here." Yusei said as his nerves started to affect him again. Yusei looked around as the music around them played wondering wher it was coming from but was thankful as the music made the mood just right. "Yusei you can tell me! Please tell me what's wrong." she replies to reassure him.
Yusei took Akiza's hand into his and took a deep breath as he prepared himself for the biggest moment in his life. He knew once he started there was no turning back. "Akiza 6 months ago in these outfits we met again at the kid's party at the day care centre, the same place we originally me in years ago. You were in disguise so I didn't know you where there. On that night you tripped up accidently and in that moment I caught you in my arms, I tried to ask you if you were ok but in that moment I looked in your eyes and saw something special and I couldn't move. When you ran off I was confused but after encouragement from Martha I followed you to see if you were only to find out who you really were. My heart that day skipped a beat and I couldn't think of anything but you." He let go of Akiza's hand and walked in front of her before he continued. "From that day my life has never been the same, I fell in love and the more time I spent with you the more I couldn't get you out of my head. You became the air I breathe, the sun that shines and the rose of my heart." Yusei turned around and Akiza saw tears in his eyes, she was about to say something but her continued. "Akiza ever since you returned to my life after all those years, I haven't imagined a day without you in my life anymore." Akiza suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. "Akiza that day we made love together I felt no regret or hesitation of doing it with you, and I hope one day we would be able to do that but for a more memorable reason. And so on this day in this place you willingly bought for us to live together in, with the full moon above…" Yusei said before waking up to Akiza and dropping to one knee, Akiza suddenly moved her hands to her face and covered her mouth as she couldn't believe what she heard and saw. Yusei pulled out a box from his pocket and took a deep breath. "Akiza Izinski in this place filled with light, I would like to make you the happiest woman in the world and spend the rest of my life with you and so I have one question I would like to ask. Akiza Izinski would you marry me?" Yusei finally said as she opened the box to reveal his mothers ring. Akiza dropped to her knees an she heard that question but also saw the ring her tears began to rain faster and her heart felt like it was about to win a race.
"Oh Yusei. Yusei I don't know what to say. You really love me and went through all this trouble for this didn't you." She started, Yusei was starting to worry and he closed his eyes thinking she was about to reject him. "Yusei I really love you with all my heart as well. Yes." She finished Yusei's eyes opened and he looked at Akiza. "You mean?" he said thinking he miss heard her. Akiza knocked Yusei down and kissed him on the lips before answering again "Yes Yusei I'll marry you! I love you so much." She repeated. Yusei embraced Akiza and held her tight, he felt like a weight was lifted from him and he felt like the happiest man in the world. Akiza moved off him and helped Yusei to sit up. Yusei took the ring from the box and Akiza helped him place it on the right finger on her hand, to his surprise it was a perfect fit. She looked at the ring with magical wonder, she couldn't believe Yusei gave her such an expensive looking ring and he put so much effort into this night that she felt the happiest in the world. Suddenly the music from around them changed it was a tune of congratulations and romance. Akiza started to believe that Jenny must have been involved in this music starting; Yusei hadn't planned this bit but came up with an idea on the fly. He stood up and reached down to Akiza "Akiza would you accept this dance?" he asked. "Of course you may." Akiza replied and took his and stood up. The two of them embraced each other and began to dance together; the moment prefect and they wanted this moment to last forever. "Akiza thank you for everything you have given me, and whatever is to come in the future." He said and Akiza simply replied "With you every moment is special Yusei, I can't wait to see where this road takes us." Before they both kissed under the moon light. The night couldn't have gotten any better than it was right now. As Mana watched from above she knew the two of them would be fine now, it made the fact she would leave after tonight much easier to accept now. Jenny the secret identify of Mana had finally completed her mission, and soon it would be time for her to go home.
END OF FLASH BACK
As they both finished remembering that day they both in sync said "That was a great night." But then looked at each other wondering why they both said that. They both realised they both had been remembering that one night. "I guess we are more in sync than we think sometimes." Yusei suggested. "Your right we both found that night magical even if you were a total bag of nerves that day." Akiza reminded. Yusei could only laugh since Akiza had a point. "At least I was myself though." Yusei pointed out. Akiza could only giggle in agreement. "Yusei I know how difficult you found it that night but you managed to ask and I said yes either way. Anyway Fudo we should finish this meal before it gets cold. Then like that day we could bond over dessert." She said with a wink. Yusei suddenly realised what Akiza meant. "Well my lady I think you will have to get ready to be shaken and stirred." He said in his spy voice. "Well Mr Fudo I will be ready to take your licence to thrill." She replied before finishing her meal. When the two of them were done Akiza lured Yusei upstairs and the night of adventure began, both prepared for the earth to shake for the rest of the evening, in pure bliss of love and passion. Their future together was beginning now.
