Chapter 28: Revelations
Ayato didn't know exactly why he was here, or why he was doing what he was doing for that matter, he just acted on instinct, he wanted to comfort her. He felt like he needed to.
"Ayato?" Akari said weakly.
"Hmmmm?" Ayato answered.
"Please," Akari hesitated "stay with me. I don't want to be alone, not right now."
"I...won't leave." Ayato couldn't help but feel akward. After all, he had spent last night with Anna, and now he was alone with Akari, in her room, in her bed, in an awkard position.
Akari felt unusually comfortable in the position they were in. She shifted slightly so that she could rest her head on Ayato's chest.
Ayato stiffened, "Akari?" He questioned.
There was no answer. "Um Akari?"
'She must have fallen asleep.' Ayato thought to himself.
Ayato gently laid her on her bed, being careful not to disturb her peaceful slumber.
Ayato watched her as she slept. 'She looks so peaceful, it would be great if she was like this when she was awake.'
Ayato let his mind wander to Anna. 'It's a good thing Anna isn't here to see this, she might have taken this the wrong way.'
"Well, what do we have here."
Ayato was so startled he almost fell out of the bed.
"Your quite the womanizer Ayato. Anna, Akari, and even my leader are all very interested in you."
Ayato looked at the cloaked man suspicously. "Who are you?"
The man pulled down his hood to reveal the face of a man in his late teens, he had fire red hair that was spiked and emerald green eyes.
"I am Ryuji, Number VIII of the XIII Order."
(AN: VIII8 and XIII13)
"What do you want with me?"
"Personally, I would like to see you destroyed."
Ayato was taken aback by that statement.
Ryuji continued, "I hate you with a passion."
"I haven't done anything to you, I don't even know you!"
"I don't see why Lina is so interested in you, you seem to be just an ordianry kid, maybe I should get rid of you myself."
"I'd like to see you try!"
Ryuji smirked, "I wonder if you could. Someone like you."
Ayato looked confused, but quickly snapped out of it. "I guess you think you can confuse me by saying some really random stuff, huh."
Akari woke up, "What's going on here?"
Just then a dark portal appeared next to Ryuji and from it came Hitaki.
"Ryuji what are you doing, your acting on your own again, how many times do I have to tell you not to."
"Relax, I was just having a little chat with Ayato."
Hitaki looked over in the direction of Ayato and Akari. Hitaki began to laugh, "So you two losers ended up with eachother after all."
Akari was about to attack Hitaki but Ayato stopped her.
"What the hell is going on here?" Ayato demands.
Hitaki smirked, "The beginning of the end!" And with that the two vanished.
The Next Day
Akari yawned as she sat up, she looked over expecting to see Ayato there but he was not.
She sighed. 'It was foolish of me to expect him to still be here, it's not like were together or anything, he only came to comfort me and nothing else.' Akari reminded herself.
Just then Akari realized something, "Wait a minute. How did he know!"
Later
Kazama sighed heavily as a group of girls followed closely behind him.
'These girls are really starting to annoy me, maybe I should have never come here. I've haven't had the chance to duel Ayato or Jaden since I've been here.'
Kazama stopped walking and shivered slightly as he remembered Hell Kaiser aka Zane Truesdale. 'Maybe it was for the best.' He thinks as he continues to walk again.
Ayato looks around nervously. "Why are you so nervous Ayato?" Anna asked.
"Um, no reason."
"There is a reason, come on, you can tell me, after all I am your girlfriend."
"Well last night, Ayato hesitated, "there was this guy and Akari's sister." 'Well at least I told her half of the truth.' He thought to himself.
"What happened! Did they hurt you, what did they say?"
"Well you know, I was pretty confused about the whole thing, they weren't making much sense."
Anna sighed, "And I thought everything would go back to normal after that whole revival of the Rare Hunters thing."
At An Unknown Location
"I don't want you going near Ayato again."
"But, why him, I-"
"I know that, but you can't let your feelings get in the way, we need that boy, otherwise everything we've done up to now will be for nothing."
Hitaki entered the room dragging Nico with her. "Now say your sorry"
Hitaki orders.
"I'm sorry Lin-Number I." she replies sadly.
"What did she do this time."
"She went to go visit that Syrus kid again, at first it was alright,
but now it's getting out of control."
Lina sighed inwardly, "Nico! Don't let your feelings get in the way either."
Ryuji snickered, "Hey Hitaki it looks like your trying to find a replacement for your sister. You must really miss her."
Hitaki just glared at him, a glare that would have killed a lesser being.
Another cloaked member walked into the room, you could tell from his voice that he was old.
"What will we do about Takuma and his followers?" The man asked.
"Do not worry Number III, their fates are in the hands of the one named Jaden Yuki."
"You can't be serious. Your placing our fate in another boy." Ryuji says.
Lina glared at him, "If I recall you are not much older than they are.
Do you think I am wrong in my descision?"
Ryuji sighed, "I am sorry."
"Good, you all may leave now."
Everyone bowed and left, except Hitaki.
"Hitaki, is our future still unclear, or can you finally see it with your Millenuim item."
Hitaki frowned, "It's still unclear. But i know for certain that those two are the key."
Lina nodded, 'Ayato and Jaden. What connection do you two have to the darkness?'
Back At Duel Academy
Akari grimaced, 'I guess I have to accept it.' She thought to herself.
'Ayato and Anna are official, but it's not fair, I...love him, that should be me by his side.'
Akari sighed, 'It would have been me. But i was just so afraid of being rejected. Now I've lost that chance.'
Just then Anna walked passed Akari. "Anna, Wait!"
Anna stopped and turned around. "What is it?" She asked in her usually cheery voice.
"Do you love him."
"What?" Anna asks.
"I said do you love Ayato."
Anna looked down at the ground and shifted uncomfortably.
"Well?"
"I...
Well how was it, was it bad, good, needs work? Let me know what you think, reviews are very important to the continuation of this story.
P.S.- I almost forgot, it'll be a week before the next chapter, but don't worry, it's gonna have a big suprise that I think you all will just love. Until then peace out!
