Chapter 12: Domino City Greetings

Ayato stared out the window of the jet. "Hey Ayato, a penny for your thoughts?" Jaden asked. Ayato turned to face him. "I was just thinking about how maybe you guys shouldn't have come along."

"Friends stick together, besides the whole world is depending on us, not to mention I get to meet my idol."

Ayato looked confused. "You mean my dad?" Jaden nodded with a goofy looking grin on his face.

Syrus was sitting in a seat behind Ayato and Jaden. "I can't wait to get there." Alexis, Akari, and Anna nodded their heads in agreement.

Jaden strecthed as he got off the jet. "Were finally here, alright were off to Ayato's." Jaden sprinted off.

Everyone's sweat dropped. "Jaden has no idea where your house is Ayato." The bluenette said. "Let's catch up."

The gang caught up with Jaden and they eventually made it to Yugi's house. Ayato opened the door and walked in, the others following him. Once inside the gang spotted a little girl on the floor coloring. She had short brown hair and blue eyes. Ayato smiled. "Big Bro is back Kairi."

The little girl looked up and smiled, she got up and ran towards her brother and hugged him. "I'm so glad your back big brother!"

Just then a voice could be heard, "Hey who's there?" A boy came from the bathroom. He had blonde hair similiar to Joey Wheeler's and brown eyes, he looked to be in his early teens.

"What are you doing here Junior, did my mom and dad have you babysit again?" Ayato asked.

The blonde looked confused. "What are you doing back here Ayato?"

"I'm here to take care of something." Ayato replied.

"Yeah your mom and dad had to go do something, they won't be back for a while, who are your new friends?" He asked.

"This is Jaden, Syrus, Anna, Alexis, and Akari." Ayato introduced his friends.

Akari raised a fist towards Ayato. "Why did you say my name last?"

Ayato's sweat dropped, "I..uh...saved the best for last."

The group was suddenly startled by a loud voice. "JADEN!"

Jaden had a look of utter shock on his face. Standing right before him was none other than Blair.

"Oh Jaden you came looking for me sweetie." The girl hugged Jaden tightly. Alexis stared daggers at the lovestruck girl.

"Why is she here Ayato." Syrus asked Ayato.

"She visits my little sister almost everyday, it seems to me you've met her before." Ayato said.

"Yeah, she almost beat Jaden in a duel." Syrus responded. Ayato does the anime fall.

Jaden was trying his best to get free from Blair's death hold but she didn't even budge. "Don't try to play hard to get Jaden, I already know you love me so it's no use."

Eveyone stared at the two. Jaden eventually got free and ran down the hallway, Blair in quick pursuit. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"DON'T WORRY JADEN SWEETIE, I'LL HELP YOU!"

Jaden turned the corner and ran right into a wall. Jaden fell to the floor, his face throbbing, "WHO PUTS A WALL A FEW FEET FROM A CORNER!"

"Don't worry Jaden, I bet kisses will make you feel better!"

Jaden quickly jumped to his feet, "Well what do you know, I feel better all ready.

Alexis was still glaring at Blair. Ayato noticed. "Are you alright Alexis?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be." She replied glaring.

Just then the door opened to reveal Yugi and Tea. There was silence. Yugi cleared his thoart after some time. "Ayato what are you doing back, and more importantly who are all these people." Ayato explains to Yugi and Tea everything that has happened.

Tea hugs him tightly, "I'm so glad my boy is alright."

Ayato blushes. "Mom your embarrasing me."

Jaden pulled out his Winged Kuriboh card, "Thanks for the card."

Yugi smiled, "I see it has served you well."

Akari frowned, "Not to sound rude or anything but where are we gonna sleep Mr. and Mrs. Mutou?"

"We have one guess room, so Alexis, Anna, and you could sleep there." Yugi replied.

"What about us?" Jaden and Syrus asked in unison.

"Don't worry, you two can sleep in my room." Ayato said.

"Can I sleep with Jaden?" Blair asked.

Tea shook her head. "Sweetie I think it would be best if you went home now before it gets dark."

Blair nodded. "Okay, but Jaden has to walk me home."

Blair grabs a suprised Jaden by the arm and drags him out the door.

Yugi and Tea heads towards their room, "You guys gets some rest, if the Rare Hunters are truly back you'll need all the sleep you can get."

Ayato heads towards his room and Syrus following him.

Kairi tugs on Junior's shirt. "Are you leaving too?"

Junior nods and heads out the door.

Later at the night, Ayato gets out of bed and makes his way towards the bathroom. Anna is also making her way towards the bathroom.

"Anna?"

"Ayato?"

There is a moment of silence until Anna decides to break it.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"I'm not avoiding you."

"Then why is this the first time we've talked since our kiss?"

"Listen Anna, you have to take it slow, I wasn't ready for that, let's just forget it ever happened."

"But it did happen, and you can't deny it." Anna says fiercely.

"Why are you being so difficult?"

"Why are you denying your feelings, or maybe you do like Akari." She retorted.

"I don't like her."

"LIAR, tell me the truth." Anna shouted.

"Were not together Anna so stop acting like it." Ayato said.

"You didn't answer my question."

Ayato sighed. "Fine, I do like her, but not the way I like you." Ayato admitted.

"Then prove it." Anna pressured.

Ayato reaches his hand out towards Anna's face and caresses her cheek lightly, "If were meant to be, than that day will come."
