Chapter 17: Family Ties Part 2
"So lover boy, I guess you came to save Akari?" Hitaki smirked.
"What the hell is wrong with you, she's your sister, how could you treat her like this?"
"That bitch doesn't deserve to be called my sister."
Ayato looked back at Akari, who was still on her knees staring at the ground. 'I've never seen her like this before.' He thought.
"So are you gonna do something or not, I'm getting rather tired of waiting." Hitaki said annoyed.
Ayato looked at Hitaki and then back at Akari. "Akari get up now, this is not the time to get all weak on me!"
Alexis gasped, even Hitaki was suprised.
Ayato continued, "What happened to all that confidence you had, how can you say that your gonna be the best when you let Hitaki get to you so easily!"
Akari finally spoke, "You don't understand, this is diferent."
"No excuses, get up Akari, your the one who's gonna beat her, not me."
"But I can't, I never could."
"Would you stop doubting yourself, you won't know until you try!"
"But I did, and I failed."
"Then try again, listen Akari, I know we aren't always on the best of terms, but I respect you, don't lose my respect now, fight, show me what you got." Ayato said, trying to encourage her.
Akari begins to stand up slowly.
Hitaki frowns. "You were better off staying down little girl."
"Ayato's right, I can do this, and I'm gonna prove it!"
Akari and Hitaki activate their duel disks.
Later
Ayto plops unto the couch and sighs.
"What's up?" Jaden and Syrus ask in unison.
"Could you guys ask me later, I don't feel like talking right now."
Jaden sits on the couch next to Ayato. "That bad huh?"
Ayato nods.
FLASHBACK
Akari is on one knee, her life points depleted. Hitaki frowns, her life points depleted as well.
"I told you...there was no way...you would beat me again." Akari says out of breath.
Hitaki's frown turns into a wicked grin. Akari looks confused. "What are you...grinning about you stupid...whore."
"This." Hitaki shows Akari a duel monster card. Akari gasps, "But that means...you would have-"
"I would have won."
Akari curses and hits the ground with her fist, leaving a fist imprint in the grass. Ayato could feel his anger building. Hitaki averted her gaze from Akari to Ayato. "Don't worry, I didn't really come here to hurt anyone, well except for my sister."
"Your such a bitch." Akari said.
Hitaki ignored her. "If you promise to be a good boy I'll let you all in on a secret."
"What secret?" Ayato asked.
"I don't really serve Exion, he's nothing than an old spirit seeking revenge, your father knows him well, or rather Atem did."
"How do you know about him?" Ayato asked seeking more information.
"We all know about him." Hitaki simply stated.
"And who is we?"
"That's all the information you get for now, but don't worry I'll be back, good luck with taking out Exion and his Rare Hunters."
Akari stood up, "Your not going anywhere, I want to duel you again."
"In due time, you will." Darkness began to engulf Hitaki.
"Untill next time, see you all later."
END OF FLASHBACK
Akari sat on her bed. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. 'I promised I wouldn't cry anymore, but its so hard now. I can still see the lifeless look my father had, and my mother, so much pain, but why, why did she do it, the Hitaki I knew would never have done that.'
Tears start to stream down Akari's face. 'That's why I have to be the best, and I won't let anyone stand in my way, it took me up to this point to figure that out.'
Just then the door opened up to reveal Ayato. Ayato walked over to the bed and sat down next to Akari. "You know, its not good to keep things bottled up inside."
Akari wiped the tears away. "Oh yeah, well nobody asked you, what are you doing in here anyway?"
Ayato smiled nervously. "I was uh, just wondering if you needed...someone to talk to."
"I'm fine." Akari simply stated. There was a moment of silence between the two. Akari finally broke it, "Thanks."
Ayato looked suprised and confused at the same time, which Akari found amusing.
"For helping me back there." She said with a big smile.
Ayato smiled and stood up. "No problem, but I'd like it if you would be less violent towards me."
Akari smirked. 'I wouldn't be so violent if you would stop messing around with other girls.' Akari thought about saying that but changed her mind. "I'll think about it."
Ayato began to walk out of the room. Akari stood up and picked up her duel disk and deck. When she turned around she saw Ayato still standing there.
A thought suddenly occured to Akari. "You were looking at my ass weren't you pervert!"
'Oh shit.' Ayato thought as an angry Akari approached him.
