Chapter 2!
Bentstua: I do have a reason for it and it's explained right off the bat! Thanks for the review and compliment.
melan anime: Glad you enjoyed that part!
Also, since Yusei and Akiza have already met, that's why I've had these disagreements for the first couple of Chapters. At the same time, I've been trying to sort of have them match up with the book, but it will be better later on (at lease I hope).
I hope you enjoy this Chapter and, don't forget, I'm writing "semi-duels" with more emphasis on things outside of the actual dueling. I apologize for the delay and I hope it was worth the wait.
Akiza stormed off to her house and, when she got back, she laid on her bed. Akiza looked up at the ceiling and wondered to herself. 'How could I forget?' she wondered and her mind flashed back to the day she found some information on the "other side" of Yusei.
_Flashback_
Akiza was coming over, wanting something to do. At the very least, watching another Jack and Crow argument would provide some entertainment. Akiza politely knocked and heard Crow shout. "Come in." Akiza opened the door and saw Jack and Crow getting ready to leave on their Runners. "Oh," she replied, "Is Yusei here?" Jack and Crow looked at one another and then back at her. "Yusei went to get some groceries," Crow replied, "But he should be back pretty soon." Akiza sighed. "Would it be okay if I wait here for him?" Jack and Crow looked at one another again and then back at her. "All right," Crow replied and Akiza went down the ramp to the floor. Jack and Crow gently led their Runners up the ramp, but their engines were quiet enough that Akiza could still hear them talking.
"That movie we downloaded is going to be great!" Crow commented. Jack nodded. "I know. It's great that Yusei found that one for us. Who knew that his laptop would be the perfect spot to store all that stuff?" Akiza was intrigued. "What movie is that?" she asked, just before they made it out the door. Jack and Crow stared at her. "It's great," Crow replied. "With lots of juicy stuff." Jack added, "And boy do I mean juicy." Akiza raised her eyebrows. "Sounds interesting," she replied and Jack and Crow laughed as they left.
Akiza looked over at Yusei's laptop. "I wonder what movie it is?" Akiza asked to herself. She got up and went over to the laptop. She sat down and turned it on. After she got it to start, she got to Yusei's password screen. "Shoot," Akiza said. She had forgotten about this. Akiza wondered what Yusei's password might be. 'Maybe I should just put in a guess and see if a password hint comes up.' Akiza tired 'Stardust Dragon.' After the computer said it wasn't right, a hint came up. 'Me,' was all that is said. Akiza was baffled.
"When it says 'me,' does it mean Yusei?" Akiza asked and put his name into the screen. Akiza was a bit surprised when it worked. "Yusei's password is his own name?" Akiza asked as she rolled her eyes, "Wouldn't you think he would pick something else?" Akiza didn't care once she saw what the picture was on screen. It was a giant list of documents and Akiza saw a few of them at the top. They said, "Crow's Runner, Jack's Runner, and My Runner." Akiza then noticed that a lot of information was being used. So, she clicked on Runner files, and figured that might explain it. However, she saw that there was not that much information in the three documents. That made Akiza wonder what the rest of documents were, if there wasn't that much information about their Runners. Akiza closed out all three of the documents and went back.
She looked closely at the information and saw that it was a lot of things with the letters "XXX." There were also many other files that were similar in names. Akiza was stunned that Yusei had so much this much on his laptop. She scrolled down, wondering if there was anything else. But nope, it was all inappropriate videos. Akiza wanted to ask Yusei what this was about, when he came home. A few moments later, the front door opened. "Hey Akiza," Yusei said as he held a few reusable bags with groceries inside. Akiza quickly shut the laptop and got up. "Did you want any help putting those away?" Yusei watched her come up.
"Uh...sure," he replied, with a lot of awkwardness in his voice. Akiza happily took some bags, as they were obviously too heavy for him. "Why did you have so many bags to carry all the way home?" Akiza asked. Yusei shrugged. "I bagged them myself and made them all light," he replied, "Since Jack and Crow weren't with me, I couldn't buy as much stuff." Akiza nodded and they went to kitchen.
"What kinds of stuff do you normally buy when Jack and Crow shop with you?" Yusei then explained how it wasn't fun shopping with Jack and Crow. Jack would want name brand, fancy foods, while Crow insisted on a store's brand that costs less. Yusei would sigh, as he had to listen to them go on and on, with other people staring at them. Once Yusei was done telling her about all the troubles that came from shopping with Jack and Crow, they had put everything away. Akiza now wondered if Yusei would bring up his laptop.
"So what have you been up to around here?" Akiza asked, "Working on a new engine?" Yusei shook his head "no." He smiled once he went back in the garage. "I've actually been watching and looking up information about other sports," he replied. Akiza was interested. "Really? Why? " Yusei smiled as he turned it on. "I want to do something fun in my free time, instead of having to constantly focus on Duel Runners." Akiza watched as Yusei walked over to a bag that they had forgotten about. "Could you put these things away, while I go look them up?" Akiza nodded, but was very suspicious. She took the bag and started putting a couple of things away. However, she quickly ran back towards the living room, and saw Yusei quickly look around as he started his laptop. She then watched him click some things away and then pull something on the internet up. Akiza quickly ran back and put the last few things away. She then hurried over to Yusei, who had pulled up a sports page.
"See, I was hoping to play different sports," Yusei explained, "But Jack and Crow aren't interested. On top of that, they think I should be in better shape to play, but I think anyone can play. No matter your age or skill level." Akiza couldn't help, but start to wonder if Yusei was showing her this, just to dance around the fact that she had caught him with videos on his computer that were not family friendly. He continued to explain, but Akiza was starting to think he was lying, especially when he didn't know some of the most basic rules.
"I think I'd better get going," she finally admitted and got up to leave. Yusei looked disappointed as she headed for the door. "Wait Akiza! I was wondering if..." The door shut before Akiza could hear Yusei finish his sentence. She couldn't deal with the fact that Yusei wouldn't just admit that he was into inappropriate adult movies. She had caught him in the act, so he decided to lie about actually being into other sports.
_End Flashback_
Akiza sighed as she finished remembering. Today, she had caught Yusei staring at her chest, when they had gotten back to the garage. That meant those movies are now wired into his head. She would just have to accept the fact that the man she had a crush on enjoyed that kind of stuff. If she ever got together with him, which was looking less and less likely, he would probably want her to watch them with him. That is, of course, if he couldn't stop staring at her first. He only saw her as an object and Akiza was hoping Yusei could see more than that. When he helped her family, that now long time ago, Yusei saw deep into her heart and feelings. That was the Yusei she wanted, but Akiza had to remember what she had found out that day and today. That Yusei was a pervert.
As Yusei sat at home, he sighed as he buried his face into his hands. Akiza thought he was a pervert and, for a long time, he wondered why. Jack and Crow tried not to tell him, but the moment Yusei got on his laptop, he remembered seeing Akiza on it a while back. He also saw the inappropriate videos and it hit him like a ton of bricks. It all made sense. As Yusei sighed, he suddenly heard the door knock. Yusei gasped and quickly raced to the door.
"I got it," he shouted, hoping it was Akiza. When he got to the door, his smile faded. "Oh. Hi Carly. Why are you here?" Carly smiled. "I'm just here to see Jack," she replied. Yusei let her in and he watched as she raced over to the tallest of the three men. Even though Jack denied it, there were signs that Carly and Jack had a thing going on. Not to mention Crow and Yusei had noticed Jack coming home late at night or early in the morning. It was clearly a sign that Jack and Carly were getting physical with one another, as Jack would be messing with his clothes and hair when he walked inside the house.
As Yusei tried to sort his thoughts, Jack and Carly wouldn't stop talking. Mostly about Jack. Finally, Yusei couldn't stand it. "Would you two be quiet?" Yusei shouted as he turned around, "I can't even here myself think!" Jack frowned. "Yusei, the world doesn't revolve around you," Jack replied, "It revolves around me." Yusei sighed and went upstairs. He sat on a spare mattress and looked up at the ceiling. He didn't know what he could do to prove to Akiza that he wasn't a pervert. Yusei rolled on his side and back, before finally deciding to give it a few days. Maybe, when Martha decided to tell them the next Chapter in her story, he could talk to her.
A few days later, sure enough, everyone agreed to head over to Martha's house to pay her a visit. Akiza was very quiet when she came over, but the thing that was surprising everyone, was that she wasn't holding a grudge. Akiza got on the Runner, but when Yusei sat down, she put her hands on his stomach. Yusei worried that Akiza might not be on securely enough. When he looked over his shoulder, she had a determined look on her face. "Just drive," she said with authority and Yusei didn't question it.
When they got there, Martha greeted everyone with a hug. They all sat down, eager to find out what the Chapter was going to have in store. Martha sat down, with the book in her lap. When she was done getting settled, Martha opened up the book. "All right, here's the next Chapter, " she said with a smile on her face.
Once the pairings were decided, everyone was instructed to have dinner, at a cook out, a short distance away. The participants were first in line, while everyone else was in behind them. They all sat in certain areas, mostly with people they knew. Leoka and Lunaka sat with Yuseika and Akizaka sat with Sayerka. Yuseika was still intrigued by Akizaka and what the real her might be like. She seemed to enjoy being around Sayerka, almost like he was a guide for her. Yuseika also saw that she was a powerful duelist, one that he had to be afraid of.
A short distance away, Jackka kept his eyes on Yuseika, trying to get some fear into his eyes. But Yuseika seemed to be interested in something else, to which Jackka didn't like. They were rivals, but Yuseika seemed to have his mind elsewhere and Jackka was getting the feeling that Yuseika had a connection with someone else. Something that was a whole lot bigger than the bond of friendship that Yuseika and him shared.
Later, they were all informed that they would have to stay in the same hut. "I don't want to share a hut," Sayerka complained, "Akizaka and I must have our own!" The tribal leader shook his head. "We only have one for you to stay in. Plus, we are trying to make you as comfortable as possible. We've provided warm blankets and a soft bed to sleep on. Besides, it's either this or the hard ground. Take it or leave it! " Sayerka huffed and turned around. "Fine!" he shouted, "But Akizaka and I must start training for tomorrow."
As Yuseika and the twins sat inside the warm hut, Yuseika noticed that some people were missing. 'Where is Sayerka and Akizaka?' he thought. Yusei got up and smiled at the twins. He then headed outside, where he heard some noises. He followed his ears to where the sound was coming from. He spotted Akizaka and Sayerka in a field. He saw a big, dark red Dragon roaring to life. Yusei could swear that thing was 100% real and it was a bit intimidating. Yuseika watched as Sayerka yelled at Akizaka to attack.
"Again!" Sayerka shouted and the dragon roared. Akizaka called for a attack and the monster blew a giant ball. Up into the air it went, until it finally exploded. Yuseika watched as Sayerka kept demanding for the woman to attack. He could tell that, after a while, Akizaka was getting tired. "Come on!" Sayerka shouted as he ran up to her, "Do you want that stupid little girl to beat you? In order for you to win, you've got to beat her to a pulp!" Akizaka was on her knees, trying to catch her breath. "But...I don't want to do this anymore! Please! Can't we stop?" Sayerka sighed. "Show me one more strong attack and then we'll stop." Akizaka managed to stand up and called for one more attack. The dragon roared and gave one last attack, which seemed just as strong as many of the others. Akizaka collapsed onto the ground, tired from all the work.
"That's enough for today," Sayerka replied reject-fully. Akizaka stayed in the field, as Yuseika watched Sayerka leave. Once he was gone, Akizaka sat up and looked down at the ground. She hanged her head and looked upset. Yuseika walked over to her.
"Hey!" Yuseika tried to say calmly to her. Akizaka looked up and quickly got to her feet. She took a few steps back. "What are you doing here?" she questioned. Yuseika smiled. "I just want to talk to you. That's all." Akizaka turned around and folded her arms. "Yeah right. You're probably just here to make fun of my powers and call me names. Word has probably spread about me. You think their weird and that I'm a witch." Yuseika shook his head. "No. I've barely heard anything about your powers. I don't think they're weird or make you a witch." Akiza huffed.
"Yeah right," she replied, "Everyone makes fun of my powers."
The real life Akiza frowned. This sounded just like her. Everyone did make fun of her powers and it greatly upset her. Akiza could tell how they were related as Signers. Their back-stories were mirror images of each other. Still, Akiza wanted to hear more and wanted to know what Yuseika did.
"I would never make fun of you or call you names," Yuseika replied, "I want to be your friend." Akizaka looked over her shoulder. "If you want to be my friend then I know why." Akizaka fully faced him and pointed with her thumb at it. "It's because of my giant chest!" Akizaka looked angry. Yuseika shook his head. "I'm not trying to be with you, because of your chest. I mean...sure, it's very large and..." Akizaka turned around. "Please, just...just go away. A person like me doesn't want to be around people like you. Even if you weren't here for my powers or my chest, you'll see what happens when I duel tomorrow. Your happy tone about me will change." Yuseika sighed and frowned. He could hear a bit of sadness in Akizaka's voice.
"All right," he replied, "I'll be there." Yuseika started to walk away. "But I'm sure I'll still see you the same way I do now." Akizaka looked surprised as she turned around to watch the long, average looking man walk away.
The next day, the duels were about to begin. It was a little before noon when the first matches started. A large group of people surrounded the dueling field that was set up. After a speech by one of the tribal leaders, it began. The first duel was Jackka versus the other man from the North's tribe. Jackka easily won and, after every attack, Jackka would give a smirk in Yuseika's direction. Yuseika got annoyed with it and tried to turn his attention to something else. He looked over and saw Akizaka watching, with Sayerka standing next to her. Yuseika stared at her intently, trying to figure her out.
After Jackka's last attack, he looked over in Yuseika's direction, to give himself one last bit of pleasure. Jackka noticed that Yuseika was looking in another direction, towards Akizaka. Jackka was a bit irritated, but he wondered why Yuseika was so interested in her. Jackka just tried to brush it off as he walked off the field, his fancy necklaces swinging as he walked.
The next duel was Sayerka vs. the other person from the South. Everyone gasped as Sayerka's first attack went off. They could feel the wind blow as it headed for his opponent. They all screamed as the opponent was knocked on his back from the attack. Yuseika watched carefully, as the twins huddled close to him. Yusei put a arm around each one, trying to assure them it was okay. Still, Yuseika noticed that Sayerka enjoyed hurting his opponent. He laughed every time a attack went off.
Sayerka easily won and he laughed as he looked across the field, at his bruised opponent. Some of the tribal nurses came over and helped him off for attention. Still, Yuseika could only imagine what Akizaka could do.
Yuseika was up next for his duel with Leoka. To be honest, Yuseika didn't want to duel his new friend. The night before, to try and keep his mind off of Akizaka, Leoka told him lots of jokes. Yuseika gave a serious look at him during a few, scaring off the younger one. At the same time, there were a few that managed to make the older man smile. As Yuseika watched Leoka getting ready, he spotted another boy sitting close to his sister.
Yuseika didn't know it, but his name was Dexterka and he was the twins' best friend. Yuseika smiled and was happy that there was someone there to help cheer him on. Leoka got off to an early lead and everyone gasped when he played his Power Tool Dragon. One of the tribal leaders whispered to another about it and he nodded.
In real life, Leo was parading around the floor. "All right! Power Tool Dragon's here to kick some butt!" Leo cried. Martha laughed. "Ummm...you might not want to get too excited Leo." Leo looked confused as Martha continued.
On the next turn, Yuseika brought out his Stardust Dragon. Everyone oohed and ahhed at it's beauty. Even Akizaka was amazed. Still, Yuseika did what he did best and that was using his Stardust Dragon to it's fullest. Leoka managed a comeback and everyone cheered, including his sister and Dexterka. Still, as much as Yuseika enjoyed seeing some of the crowd get behind him, Yuseika had to finish it off. He managed one final blow and Leoka's life points dropped to zero. Still, Yuseika walked up to him and the two duelists shook hands. Everyone cheered at their good sportsmanship.
For the next duel, Lunaka was incredibly nervous. "I'm scared," she admitted to Leoka, Dexterka, and Yuseika. They all tried to encourage her. "Don't worry sis," Leoka replied, "You'll do great!" Lunaka didn't seem convinced. "I know it's scary," Dexterka replied, "But we all know that you're a great duelist." Lunaka blushed. "Thanks," she replied, "But Akizaka's powers are what is scaring me the most." Yuseika nodded.
"Don't worry Lunaka. I don't think Akizaka truly wants to hurt you." Everyone looked confused at him, as he looked over at Sayerka, giving some advice to Akizaka. "What makes you say that Yuseika?" Leoka asked. Yuseika was quiet. "I just know," he finally replied. Everyone else didn't understand.
When the duel was about to begin, one of the leaders stood up. "This will be the last match of the first round. Then, we will have all of the losers face one another. After all, this is also about finding out who the Signers are." The leader sat down with other tribal leaders. They were all concerned that none of the Signer marks had appeared yet. Still, they were going to have as many duels as possible, to help them in their quest.
Finally, the duel began. Lunaka went first and wasn't sure what to do, once she pulled her first card from her deck. She didn't know if she should play defensive or try to be aggressive. The less attacks Akizaka could set off the better. Luna decided to try and be both offensive as well as lay down some spell and trap cards. That way, she could try to protect herself.
As Yuseika watched Akizaka's first move, she was able to summon out two pretty powerful monsters. The moment her first attack came, like with Sayerka, everyone became scared. Akizaka looked just as powerful, but at the same time, Yuseika could sense something was up. Lunaka tried to defend herself with a trap and, although it stopped the attack, some rocks, from the dirt in front of her, hit her head. Lunaka put her hand to her forehead.
"That's it Akizaka! Show no mercy!" Sayerka shouted from behind her. Yuseika watched as there was a smile on her face. Yuseika instantly became worried. He watched as Lunaka managed a successful attack, although Akizaka's life points were not damaged too much, which was caused by a trap card. Akizaka was up next and Yuseika watched as she managed to summon the card she had out last night.
"Black Rose Dragon!" she called it, "Attack her!" The monster roared and Lunaka's hair flew back from the roar. Everyone watched as the monster attacked, knocking Lunaka down to ground. Lunaka managed to sit up. "Ow," Lunaka whimpered. Yuseika looked over and saw Akizaka's eyes widen. Yuseika instantly knew something was wrong. He watched as Sayerka tried to encourage her and said she was doing a good job.
But deep down inside, Yuseika could tell Akizaka was not proud of what had just happened. Yuseika was getting the sense that Akizaka didn't want to hurt Lunaka. Whether that was increased by the fact she was a little girl or for whatever reason, Yuseika was getting the sense that Akizaka had something Sayerka didn't have.
A heart.
Yuseika remembered last night and how Akizaka didn't like her powers. Yet, Yuseika got the feeling that Sayerka was liking her powers for something more. Yuseika seemed to be the only one's who's eyes were not on Lunaka, but Akizaka. Yuseika knew that Akizaka needed someone to talk to about this dilemma. Sayerka continued to tell her what she was doing was okay, but the rest of the crowd didn't feel that way. They watched as Lunaka managed to slowly get up. She then managed to summon a dragon of her own.
Everyone gasped when Ancient Fairy Dragon came out. Everyone was amazed by the fact that there were two dragons on the field at once. Lunaka continued fighting and everyone cheered, even when one of her attacks failed.
When it was Akizaka's turn again , she attacked, and Lunaka was knocked down again. Leoka and Dexterka were scared for her and tried to shout encouragement to her. The rest of them started a chant that was not for Lunaka. "Witch! Witch! Witch!" they chanted and Akizaka looked down. Her bangs covered her eyes. "That's it," Akizaka replied, "Just keep calling me that. You always have and always will. The more you say that the alone I feel." Yuseika gasped as no one else seemed to listen to her.
Sayerka shouted that this was okay and that, the more Akizaka attacked and won, the more quiet they would become. Yuseika was getting annoyed by him and wanted someone to talk to Akizaka alone. Someone who wasn't trying to have her hurt people. He could tell that, even with Sayerka behind her, she was alone. What she needed was a friend and Yuseika wanted to be that friend. One that she could turn to, without any fear or worry about her or her powers.
Finally, Akizaka managed to put out a trap card that got rid of all the monsters on Lunaka's field. Akizaka then had one final attack from Black Rose Dragon to finish her off. Everyone gasped as she was tossed backwards and her life points hit zero. Leoka and Dexterka raced over to help their friend. The rest of the crowd shouted mean comments at Akizaka, while others chanted that she was a witch. Sayerka lead her away, but Yuseika could see that Akizaka had two emotions.
One side of her that enjoyed hurting others and one that didn't. He was going to do everything in his power to make sure that the latter side came out.
Martha closed the book and smiled. "And that's the end of that Chapter," she replied. Jack looked upset. "Why is there so much dang focus on Yuseika and Akizaka?" he asked, "You'd think this story was all about them." Martha giggled. "Well, they were listed at the first two main characters," she noted, "So what did you think was going to happen." Jack stood up.
"I was thinking that Jackka was going to beat the living crap out of that puny Yuseika and then the rest of the story would be about how great JAckka was." Everyone rolled their eyes. "Not everything's about you Jack," Yusei noted. Jack quickly turned around. "Of course it is," he replied, "Besides, the whole world can't stop every time Akiza and you have a disagreement." Martha raised her eyebrows.
"Disagreement?" she asked, "What is that about?" Crow shrugged. "Akiza had caught Yusei with a bunch of dirty movies on his laptop and now she think's he's a pervert." Martha got a serious look on her face. "I see," she replied, "Well, I'll be sure to have a talk with you two later." Akiza and Yusei gulped. Even though Martha wasn't her parent, Akiza knew it was serious. Anytime one of the boys looked worried at Martha, to which Yusei had that expression on his face at that very moment, she knew it was bad.
Everyone stayed for dinner and were soon going to head off. Akiza and Yusei both thought to themselves that maybe Martha had forgotten. "Hold on you two," Martha said as everyone headed for the door, "I want to have a talk with both of you. Privately." Yusei and Akiza sighed. They were worried when Martha stressed the word "privately." They each watched as Martha gave a hug to everyone else.
Jack and Crow gave both of them a smirk, while Leo and Luna looked concerned. Martha bended down, although she didn't have to go nearly as far with the twins both having growth spurts. They each said something to her, but Martha replied something back with a smile on her face. The twins' faces both went from concern to joy and Martha gave them each a hug. The twins waved goodbye and Yusei and Akiza waved back, along with Martha.
Martha then closed the door and her face turned serious. "All right," Martha began, "Lets sit on the couch and talk about what happened." They all sat down and Yusei and Akiza sat a sofa cushion apart. They both looked nervous and worried. "So, Akiza saw some inappropriate things on Yusei's laptop. Since that's all I know, I want to hear Akiza's side first." Akiza nodded and explained her curiosity on the movie Jack and Crow wanted. She then told both of them, how she spotted barely any information about Runners on the Computer, but instead, dozens of times more adult movies.
"Is that true?" Martha asked as she turned to Yusei. Yusei nodded, as Akiza's story was done. "But I feel as though I should give my side of things," he replied. Martha nodded and Yusei went ahead.
"You see, I don't want any of those things on my laptop. However, since Jack and Crow are going to be horny all their lives, they need something to release those urges constantly. When they first moved in, I had my laptop. They didn't want Zora to find out and so I offered to put their stuff on my laptop. In exchange, they promised not to bug me about using Zora's treadmill and they would pay for food I wanted. Plus, they would pay me for any movies that costs money, which they are still behind on." Akiza and Martha rolled their eyes on that part.
"Anyways, I fully admit that I have watched them." Akiza gasped. "Ah ha! I knew it! You are a pervert!" Yusei shook his head. "Akiza, please! I know that I watch them, but..." Akiza quickly cut him off. "But you don't want to admit that enjoy them just as much as they do!" Yusei shook his head. "No! I don't!" Martha quickly jumped in.
"Quiet!" she shouted and the other two jumped in their seats. "Akiza," Martha replied calmly, "Don't you think it's perfectly normal for a man to have seen some dirty movies before?" Akiza sighed. "Well...yes." Martha nodded. "And I get the feeling you've seen some too. Correct?" Akiza looked away. "Well, yeah. I have." Martha smiled. "So then, is there really a problem with what Yusei's doing?" Akiza closed her eyes. "I guess not. I'm..."
Martha and Yusei watched as Akiza started getting chocked up. "I'm sorry Yusei. I'm...I'm always such a pain for you." Yusei was stunned. "A pain?" he asked and Akiza nodded. "I accused you of something perfectly normal. You're a man, who can make his own decisions, and can watch whatever he wants. I shouldn't have called you a pervert and I'm sorry I was so mean to you. It's just that...I didn't think you were that dirty. I knew you were different than what other people think, who try to make you as squeaky clean as possible. But I should know that everything is on the table when it comes to the real you and I should see you for everything that makes you Yusei."
Akiza's eyes started overflowing with water. Martha watched and gasped as Yusei reacted. Without her saying a word, Yusei took off his gloves, and tossed them to the side. He gently started wiping tears from her eyes and was smiling at her. Martha was a little stunned by his reaction, but it gave her a smile and a good feeling in her heart. Akiza, meanwhile, looked stunned into his blue eyes.
"Akiza, what's wrong? Why are you so upset?" Yusei asked in a soft, gentle voice. Akiza looked down. "I...I see you so different than everyone else Yusei, but I still was so judgmental of you. You must think I was stupid for not accepting what you watch." Yusei shook his head. "Akiza, I don't think you're stupid for your reaction. Those movies make many people uncomfortable. Plus, I don't hate being around you. I will never feel that way about you." Akiza still felt tears coming down her face, to which Yusei caught and tossed away. However, Yusei's face lite up, and he smiled even brighter at her.
"Like I said before Akiza, I'm happy that you don't see me as this perfect figure, and I'm glad that you can accept my faults. In fact, there's something I've wanted to do Akiza and I've wanted to do it for a very long time." Akiza was stunned. "What do you mean?" Yusei smiled as he continued wiping away tears.
"I need someone special to do it with. Jack and Crow don't want to do it with me, because they think I'm being weird. I've already told Martha, but she declined." Akiza looked over and Martha nodded, while also smiling. Akiza turned back to Yusei. "The twins are probably the only other ones who would could do it, but the truth is, I really want you Akiza. You're the special person I want to do it with. You're the only one I can really trust with it and I know you will follow through. I really hope you're willing to do it with me Akiza." Akiza's tears stopped flowing.
"What is is Yusei? Will we need anyone else's help at all?" Yusei shook his head. "This is only involving you and me Akiza. No one else would be going with us. Just the two of us." Akiza's mind started racing.
'Is Yusei asking me out?' she wondered.
A/N: Cliff hanger! I hope people aren't too upset with the surprise!
Again, I'm sorry for the delay and I hope you enjoyed the Chapter!
Next time: Yusei's surprise and the first Signer marks are revealed!
