"Bonds Beyond Time"

This is dragonshipping, which is a pairing I made up, but if there is a pairing with this name, then I didn't know that. Anyway, this is based on my 'Miracles and Shadow Games' story, only Dai isn't with Jesse in this. It's more of a who Dai would be with if she fall for Jesse and he didn't make a move on her. Please enjoy and review!

A black haired male with gold streaks mixed into it was thrashing around in his bed.

He had been having a hard time sleeping at night lately since his mind was filled with thoughts of someone he had met.

She was stubborn, but was also full of energy and was protective of those she cared for.

Her eyes were such a pretty chocolate brown color that burned with many emotions and showed how much fear and pain she endured, but she was stronger now because of it.

"Who are you?" she asked with curiosity and wariness in her eyes.

"My name is Yusei Fudo." He answered.

(Time skip…)

"Why don't you smile? I mean, we just had the most epic duel ever. You should be smiling." She said.

"I don't have to smile." He said.

"Oh, come on!" she whined playfully as she then tackled him and started playing with his lips to make them turn up in a smile.

"Hey, knock it off!" he said as he tried to grab her, but she was too fast.

Yusei's sapphire eyes opened and he sat up in bed.

It was official.

He just couldn't get his mind off of Dai Muto (Daisuke Motomiya to the people she didn't want to know about her parentage).

A year had gone by since he last saw her and her cousin Jaden Kaiba (Jaden Yuki to the public until he took over his family business) and he just couldn't forget about her.

Dai was one of those people you may not like at first, but after time she finds her way into your heart and can never escape.

Groaning, Yusei got out of bed and walked over to his bike and touched it as he remembered the first time she had been on it with him…and Jaden.

Crimson Dragon had just let them through the portal to go back about 30 years in time to stop Paradox from killing Maxmillion Pegasus and Yugi Muto, Dai's own father.

The duel runner landed on the roof of a building and skidded on it making Jaden yell out in shock as Dai buried her face in Yusei's back and held on tightly.

"Did we die?" she asked.

"No, we're still alive." Jaden sighed.

The mahogany haired girl pulled her face away from the raven's back and pouted at him.

"I thought you said you could drive this thing." She said.

"I can. I've been driving it my entire life." He said.

"Then what was up with that horrible landing?" she asked.

"Crimson Dragon was leading me and I wasn't expecting us to land on the roof, therefore I had to hurry up to make the turn so we didn't crash." Yusei said.

His temper was rising from how difficult this girl was.

He had never met someone that was this stubborn before and could easily get under his skin and she didn't even seem to be trying.

She had this innocent look on her face that was sincere as if she didn't mean to make him mad or was aware of it.

"Oh, don't go and blame the dragon for this." Dai scolded.

"Guys, as much fun as this is, Yugi is looking at us like we're insane." Jaden said as he pointed over to the tri-colored male.

Yusei smiled as he sat down on his bike as he thought back to how Dai never pretended to be something she wasn't or apologized for who she was.

He started having dreams about her that he was sure she would beat him up for having if she ever found out about them.

Paradox had just used his new dragon to blast Yusei, Jaden and Yami back, the raven haired male landing at the feet of Dai since she wasn't asked to join in the duel.

She bent down in front of him and looked down into his eyes with her own, worry in them but she kept her face blank.

"Yeah, I don't mean to make you guys worry, but if you don't step up your game, we're all gonna die." Dai said.

"You think we don't know that?" Yusei grunted as he forced himself up onto his elbows.

"Can't we let Dai duel with us? I mean, I know Paradox only wanted the three of us, but she's here to help us save the universe too." Jaden said.

"You think one person can change your fates?" Paradox mocked.

"When she's the child of Miracles? Duh." Jaden said making his cousin smile at him.

"If she's fighting with us, then she should be allowed to duel." Yami said.

The three Kings of their own times stood up as they stared down Paradox, willing him to allow the Queen to join in on the duel.

"Very well, the girl can duel." The man said.

"Aw, thanks." Dai smirked.

She readied her duel disk and deck, pulling out five cards for her hand and smiled at what she had drawn.

"You move, dear. Show me if you're truly worth it." Paradox sneered.

"He signed his own death warrant hasn't he?" Yami asked when he saw Jaden smirking.

"How about I show you what I can do? First off, I'll play Dark Magician Girl in ATK mode." Dai said.

Yami looked a bit stunned at this as the female magician appeared with a happy smile.

That…was Yugi's Dark Magician Girl!

How could this girl have gotten hold of that card?

Was it possible that she was…his daughter?

"Next up, I'll play Polymerization to fuse her together with my Cyber Dragon." Dai said.

"What? You can't do that!" Paradox yelled in shock.

"Can't I?" Dai taunted as her eyes turned red and blue.

The truth in the matter was Pegasus had made some new cards for Dai to use since she had set the spirits of her Warriors free.

Cyber Dragon appeared as he flew up into an orb of light, Dark Magician Girl following him.

"Say hello to…the Cyber Dragon Rider!" Dai called.

The blonde haired girl was now dressed in white armour and looked like a knight as she had a sword and shield that had the mark of Miracles on it while the girl rode the dragon (4000 ATK/1200 DEF).

"How cute, but your little rider and her pet snake aren't strong enough to take out my monster." Paradox mocked.

"Did I say I was done, you bad cliché? Then shut up. Finally, I equip Power Bond to double the ATK points." Dai said making everyone gasp.

"Can she do that?" Yusei asked.

"Well, technically the Cyber Dragon Knight is a machine type, so…yeah." Jaden said.

Cyber Dragon Knight's power then went up to 8000, which made Paradox cringe back in fear at what this meant for him.

"Take him out, my dragon and knight!" Dai called.

She had won the duel in only one turn.

Jaden was right about that girl being a miracle child.

Then again, it made sense for the daughter of the King of Games to be an amazing duellists and to have a powerful deck that had some surprises in it.

"That's it. I'm going to see her." Yusei decided.

(The next day…)

Yusei got on his bike as his tattoo glowed and he then reeved the engine and he shot off, crimson lights going around him as he went back in time.

He had already told his friends where he was going and they wished him a safe trip as he went back to visit his other friends.

Crow and Leo had asked if he could get them an autograph from Yugi Muto and the raven haired male said that he would try.

"Take me to Dai, please." Yusei whispered to the Crimson Dragon.

In a few minutes, he exited outside of a club that had loud music pounding from it.

He looked up at it in confusion before he backed his bike over into an alley and took his keys and deck with him.

At the door was a friendly looking man in his thirties with brown hair, pale skin and black eyes dressed in a white t-shirt, jeans and boots.

"Hey, can I help you?" the man asked.

"Yeah, I'm looking for Dai Motomiya. Do you know where she is?" Yusei asked the man.

"Oh, her? She's inside. You a friend of hers?" the man asked with a fond look when the girl was mentioned.

The man was able to tell that this twenty year old raven was the young woman's friend since he had called her Dai and not Daisuke.

"Yes I am. I'm sorry, but I don't have any money on me right now-"

"Nonsense. Go on inside. After all, Miss Motomiya's mother owns this place. Go inside and have fun." The man said.

Yusei blinked at the man's kindness, but nodded with a tiny grin before he went right inside.

The song he heard playing was 'Take your shirt off' by T Pain and there were many people and digimon inside dancing and sitting at the bar (that didn't serve any alcohol) talking.

Looking around, Yusei spotted Jaden in the upper part of the club dancing with a pretty blonde haired girl, a yellow fox talking to a pink creature nearby them.

Finally, Yusei found Dai in the centre of the dance floor dancing with a male with long brown hair, tanned skin and brown eyes.

She really wasn't just dancing with him; she kept changing partners, both male and female.

It was all just good nature fun for her as she even danced with some of the digimon.

Dai had grown up into a beautiful woman of 19, her mahogany hair flowing down her back and her body dressed in a blue tube top that showed off her nice stomach, black jeans and gold flats.

Yusei smiled as he watched her have fun, then he found a coat closet that was being guarded by one of the men that worked there and took a number for his jacket and placed it on a hanger in the closet with his gloves.

He placed his deck, keys and ticket in his pants pocket and then he walked out onto the floor as the song ended and 'Pound the Alarm' by Nicki Minaj came on.

The raven danced through the crowd until he wound up behind Dai and took her hand that was raised in the air and turned her around to face him.

She looked like she was about to yell at someone, but as soon as she saw who it was, her eyes widened in shock and happiness at who it was.

"Yusei?" she asked in surprise.

"It's been a while." He commented.

Her pink lips pulled up into a smile, a bit of sweat coating her arms and chest indicating that she had been dancing for a while now.

"No, really? I had no idea." She drawled playfully.

He gave a smirk as she then started to dance around him, a challenge in her chocolate brown eyes.

"I hope you can dance better than you can drive." She teased.

To her surprise, he actually joined in on the dance, matching her step for step.

This gained attention of half of the club, Jaden and Alexis watching them with smiles as V-Mon and Impmon drank some tropical juice at the bar while they watched them.

"Aw, aren't they cute." Atticus cooed as he walked over to Zane, Syrus and Lucemon.

"Who is that guy?" Tai asked as he sat at the couch in the corner with Matt and Sora with Agumon, Biyomon and Gabumon watching the small dance battle in awe.

"That must be Yusei." Kari said as she was standing in the upper part of the club with Mimi and Yolei.

Dai smirked as she saw how Yusei followed every one of her moves and tried to outdo her, so she gave him as much of a challenge she could as she let her body become a slave to the music.

'Toxic' by A Static Lullaby was now playing and it made things more fun as they got closer as they danced, but then would move away and Dai would have Yusei chase her.

When the song finally ended, Yusei managed to pull her into his arms, her back against his chest while her arms were around his neck and his hands were on her hips.

The club all cheered for them as the two separated and went off to the bar to get something to drink while everyone continued to enjoy their time.

"I'm surprised you know how to dance." Dai said as she sat down and the woman working at the bar brought over two water bottles for them.

"Thanks. Anyway, I came here to talk to you." Yusei said as he took a glug of the water.

She had really given him a work out.

"Really? You traveled through time just to talk to me? That's so sweet." Dai said, but her cheeks were also flushed.

If it was from the fact that he had went through all of that trouble to come see her or all of the dancing she had done, he wasn't sure.

"Dai, the reason I came here was-"Yusei was cut off by her holding up her hand.

"I don't want to be rude, but we have some people spying on us." Dai said as she looked over at her friends, brother figures and cousin who were watching them.

The group then quickly turned away and whistled innocently as they did so which made Dai and Yusei roll their eyes.

"We can go to my place to talk. Besides, if you're staying the night, you can also come with me. V-Mon, let's go!" Dai called.

The blue dragon jumped over to her as Chazz walked over with Impmon.

"Leaving with your boyfriend?" the snowy skinned male smirked.

"At least I have some sex appeal, Chazzy." Dai said with a grin as she grabbed Yusei by the collar of his shirt and pull him along with her.

"Ya had that comin'." Impmon teased making Chazz growl and whack him over the head.

"Shut up." He said.

"Oh no you didn't!" the purple imp said as he whacked Chazz back.

"They never learn." V-Mon sighed.

The trio were then outside after Yusei got his jacket and gloves back, then went out to the alley where his bike was hidden and pulled it out.

"You want a ride?" he asked.

"After last time? No way. Besides, I have a more dependable ride." Dai said as she pulled out her D-3.

"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!"

"V-Mon armour digivolve to…Raidramon: the Thunder of Friendship!"

Yusei stared in awe at the transformation as Dai mounted the dragon.

"Hope you can keep up." She winked at him.

"We'll see." He nodded.

He reeved up his bike as Raidramon took off towards Dai's home, Yusei following after them as the duo of Miracles were going at a great speed.

(Later…)

They finally came to a stop at a house that was blue with oak doors and a few windows on the front of the house where the rooms were.

"You live here alone?" Yusei asked as he got off his bike.

"No, I have V-Mon." Dai said as her partner returned to his Rookie form.

"Come on in. I'll open up the garage so you can put your duel runner in. it's supposed to rain tonight." She said.

Yusei nodded as he followed her inside and they did as was said.

After the bike was safely inside and the doors were all locked, V-Mon went off to his room to sleep while the two duellists spoke.

"You really did good for yourself." The raven said as he sat down on the black couch that was in the livingroom.

Every room in the house was either a different shade of blue or a different shade of red, those colors being used since they were Dai and V-Mon's signature colors.

"What do you do for a living?" Yusei asked.

"Oh, I work at a school teaching humans and new Digidestinds about the Digital World and digimon. It's funded by Kaiba Corp, so I get paid well. What about you?" she asked.

"I work as a mechanic and live in a house with my friends Jack and Crow. It's not very glamorous, but we get by well." He said.

"Hmm. So what did you want to talk to me about? It couldn't be to just check up on me." Dai said.

"I think it sounds like a good enough reason." He said.

"Yusei, I know you. You would only come back here if it was for something important." She said.

The Signer blushed at being caught by the child of Miracles.

She was good at reading her friends when she could sense something was off with them.

"Well…the truth is I came here because…" he trailed off.

Dai gave him an expectant and comforting look to go on when he was ready.

He had never really confessed to a girl before, so this would be very hard on him.

"How do you feel about me?" he asked suddenly.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" she asked.

"I mean, do you care for me only as a friend…or more?" Yusei asked.

The mahogany haired girl looked deep into his eyes and saw that he was being serious; in fact, he looked desperate to know as his sapphire eyes pleaded with her.

"Well, I did kinda have a small crush on you when we first met." She said bashfully.

He smiled a true smile at the confession as he moved closer to the girl as she watched him, her cheeks tinted pink.

"I care for you that way too." He said cupping her face gently between his hands.

She looked surprised at that, but smiled at him.

Yusei leaned forward which made her blush harder, but Dai leaned up and met his lips half way.

The Signer never believed in that whole 'when you kiss someone you love you see fireworks' concept, but at this moment he had to say he was beginning to believe in it as their lips moved together.

He gently pushed the child of Miracles back on the couch and crawled on top of her as they continued their make-out session for a little longer.

After a few minutes, they pulled away breathless.

"Yusei, how do we make this work?" Dai panted softly.

"What do you mean?" he asked as he brushed her bangs out of her face.

"You live 30 years into the future. How can we be together with that whole time gap thing?" she clarified.

She had a good point there.

"I don't know, but we'll find some way to make it work." Yusei said.

That night they fell asleep in the same bed as each other, plans on how to keep their new found relationship alive rushing through their minds as they dreamed.

Both were very confident individuals and wouldn't give up so easily.

They would find a way to stay together.
