For those of you who didn't get the little thing at the end. Jaden ended up getting paddled by Alexis. Anyway there's another one of those at the end of the chapter. But if you really want a laugh I suggest you read the funniest fic ever created. It's rated T and it's called The Mating Frenzy, only read it if you like Naruto though. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: Arrrrrgh. Stop reminding me that I don't own it.

Chapter 32: The Past, Present, and Future

'I've got to be dreaming.' Ayato thought as he continued to stare at the stone with his name inscribed on it. He pinched himself. "Ow. That stung. So I'm not dreaming."

Ayato got up and left the graveyard, staring at the stone wasn't gonna get him anywhere. 'Where am I?'

XII Order HQ

"Number X!"

"Yes Number 1?" came the reply of a scrawny cloaked female.

"I want you to fetch Nico. She's no longer acting in our best interests."

"I understand." The girl replied. 'Boy did she ever pick the wrong person for this job.' The girl thought bitterly.

Back To Ayato

Aytao looked around the bustling city. He had a feeling that he had been here before. 'Is this Domino City?' Ayato thought to himself. A man walked passed Ayato.

"Um, excuse me is this Domino City?" Ayato questioned. The man had a look on his face that said 'Are you crazy?' "Of course this is kid, ya hit your head or something?' The man asked before he walked away, not caring to hear the answer.

'Well that was rude. But, if this is Domino City does that mean I'm in the future?' Just then four guys walked up to Ayato smirking. Ayato could tell these guys were rough characters.

"Hey kid, what ya got?"

"I don't have anything."

The four guys looked at eachother and smirked. One of them pulled out a pocket knife. "Well then, for wasting our time, your gonna have to pay."

'The future sucks.' Ayato thought to himself as the four guys closed in on him.

The Present

"Why can't you tell us where your stupid hideout is?" Akari asked for the upteenth time.

And Nico replied with the same answer "I just can't...I can't betray them."

"And why not?" Akari asked not able to hide her anger anymore. "They got Ayato! Who knows what their doing to him while we sit here and do nothing!"

"He'll be fine, I swear it."

Back To The Future(hehehehe that's the name of that one movie)

Ayato laid face first on the floor. He held his side where he was stabbed by the thugs. 'Damn it, why won't anyone help me.' Ayato continued to lay there as some people looked at him worriedly but didn't bother to help.

Ayato coughed up blood. "What the hell is wrong with you people!" Ayato said weakly as he began to lose conscious.

A woman in her mid twenties was driving in her sleek black convertible. Her long black hair stopped at her hips and she wore a black business suit(for females, you know the one with the skirt.)

Her eyes widened in suprise when she saw a boy laying on the floor in a puddle of blood. She parked her car and got out of it. She turned the boy over and gasped in suprise. She lifted him off the ground and put him in the passenger seat of her car before she drove off.

Ayato opened his eyes slowly, he felt slightly light headed. The first thing he noticed was a woman who had her back turned to him talking to someone on the phone. Ayato couldn't help but notice how she had an hourglass figure.

The woman turned around and gasped when she saw him awake. She ran over to his side. "Akari?" Ayato asked. The woman asked, "Are you Ayato Mutou?"

Ayato nodded slowly. The woman latched herself on to Ayato as she let her tears fall freely. "Ayato, I can't believe it's really you." She said as she continued to cry.

Akari wiped away the rest of her tears. "I'm sorry, I guess I got a little carried away."

'Did she just apoligize? Akari apoligizing?' Ayato thought to himself. Ayato sat up and winced slightly. "You should lay down, you've lost quite a lot of blood."

"But the those people and the machine, the future is, and I'm-"

"Dead." Akari finished bitterly.

"But, I." He sighed. "How."

Akari shiftd her gaze away from Ayato. "I'd rather not."

"But if you tell me I could go back and stop it."

Akari could fill her anger raising. "You can't, nothing you can do can stop it! It's for the best if you just stay here...with me." Akari mumbled the last part but Ayato heard it.

"What happened, I mean, how is everybody now?"

Akari smiled slightly. "Well before you...passed away Jaden became the next King of Games. It wasn't long after that you made the ultimate sacrifice."

Ayato just stared at her, waiting for her to continue. "Anna took it pretty hard, but Kazama was there to comfort her."

Ayato nearly fell out of the bed he was lying on. "KAZAMA AND ANNA ARE-"

Akari nodded. Ayato frowned slightly. 'So I die and he just takes over huh.'

"Well Exion and Rachel finally got together."

"What about Syrus' girl?"

"Well she...let just say that she is no longer with us."

"Poor Syrus. Well what about Jaden and Alexis did they hook up?"

"Yeah they did, they have two kids now."

"Good for them. But what about you?"

"Well I took your death the hardest." Akari said, tears threatning to fall. "You see, you and Anna eventually broke up. And you and I ended up together." Akari said as she put her hand on Ayato's, causing him to blush.

"But what about the black coats."

Akari's expression turned to one of cold malice. "We all decided that we would pursue them and take them all out, to avenge the deaths of you and Nico." Akari's expression softend. "And we did."

The Present Or The Past(I'm confused)

Syrus sighed. It was obvious that Nico hadn't made a good first impression. Even now everyone was still trying to pry some type of information out of her, except him.

It wasn't that he didn't care about Ayato, it's just that he trusted Nico, and if she said Ayato would be alright then he would be alright.

Akari stared out the window. 'Ayato I hope your alright. I want to tell you how I feel about you, even if you don't feel the same I have to tell you.'

"I don't understand. Your our friend now. Why not just tell us?" Anna asked.

"I told you their like the family I never had. I can't tell you, I just can't."

Anna frowned, "Fine. I give up."

Kazama sat close to the window. He smirked, 'Things are getting interesting.'

Exion decided that now was a perfect chance to talk to Rachel. "Hi, my name is Exion and yours?" To his suprise she actually said something. "Rachel."

"So would you like to play a game of twenty questions?" Rachel arched a brow in response to the question. "Why do you insist on talking to me? Can't you see I'm not interested."

Exion sighed, "I just thought you wanted someone to talk to."

"Well I don't, so could you please leave me alone."

"But I-"

Rachel glared at him. Exion sighed dejectedly. Rachel frowned. 'I'm sorry Exion. I do like you, it's just that I can't let anyone else get close to me. I wouldn't want you to get hurt.'

Back To The Future Two(hehehehehe)

"So Jaden and the others are coming over?" Ayato queried.

"Yes, they'll all be so happy to see you."

Ayato thought about what Akari had said earlier, about him and her being together. "Akari...if I was still alive. Do you think that you and I would have...you know."

Akari blushed despite herself. "I love you Ayato. No matter what happens I will always love you. If you would have lived that day, I would want nothing more."

"But I could give you that!" Ayato said in a sudden outburst.

Akari blushed, "What? No way!" Akari's mind began to fill with dirty images. She berated herself, 'I can't believe myself. But then again.' She shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts.

"I didn't mean it like that. I meant going back to change the past."

"I've already told you it's impossible!"

"Why?"

"You died to protect us, their was nothing that was going to change your mind. You died without regret. You died because it was your choice."Akari said, her tears coming full force.

Ayato sat up and got out of bed. He walked up to Akari and hugged her, he was still in slight pain from his wounds, but that didn't matter to him.

After a few minutes Akari stopped crying. "I'm sorry." She said as she looked into Ayato's eyes. Ayato smiled, "It's no problem."

In that moment Akari couldn't hold herself back anymore. She began to plant kisses at the base of Ayato's neck, working her way up to his lips.

"A-Aka-ri!" Ayato said suprised and confused. "Shhhhhh." Akari said as she captured Ayato's lips in a heated kiss pushing him on to the bed. She let her hands roam over his chest as she pushed her tongue into Ayato's mouth.

Ayato was in a daze, everything was happening so fast he didn't know what to do. Akari grasped Ayato's belt but stopped herself. She got off of Ayato. "I-I'm am so sorry, I don't know what came over me."

I can't believe I just wrote that. Well anyway please review. I'm getting pretty pissed off at the lack of reviews. Here's another one of those funnies.

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No one can stop me!

Jaden: Egotistical jerk!

Akari: ...Wow, that's a big word.

Ayato: When did you learn how to say such a big word?

Jaden(holds up a book): This books, it's called Big Words Made Easy For Idiots!

Me: You dare defy me again!

Jaden: Bring it on. All or nothing.

Me: You dare say the name of that stupid cheerleader movie! Fangirls attack!

Jaden: Is that all you got. Fangirls don't faze me anymore.

Ayato: That book works wonders.

Me: Very well, I will now use my forbidden move. (snaps fingers and hundreds of boys with pink hair appear) Gay Fanboys Attack!

Jaden: Oh Crap!

(Runs away but trips on a bannana peel)

Jaden: NOOOOOOOOO! There gonna do terrible things to me!

Alexis(has a mallet): Damn you pink haired bastards! Only I can make Jaden a man!

(Gay Fanboys scream like the little girls they are and run away)

Akari, Ayato, and My sweat drop.

Jaden(hugs Alexis): Oh thank you so much.

Alexis(grinning): I think you owe me something.

(Jaden's sweat drops.)

Me: Something tells me this is gonna be XXX rated. I think I'll see you kids later.

Well that's it. Don't know if it's as funny as the last one but, neh.
