Chapter 15!
Bentstua: Glad I could help you out, however I did it!
Hope you guys enjoy this Chapter!
As Yusei came out of the workout room, from a run on the treadmill, Akiza quickly came over, and hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his slender arms. "Did my Yusei have fun while he worked out?" Yusei chuckled. "Yeah I did," he replied, "I found a fun show to watch on TV." Akiza giggled. "You're always so positive Yusei. Even if there was nothing on TV, you'd manage to find something positive about one of the shows." Akiza leaned on Yusei's sweaty shirt and Yusei suddenly felt uncomfortable. "Akiza, why don't I go wash up?" he suggested, "Then we can hug and be affectionate?" Akiza nodded and got off of Yusei's slender frame.
Yusei went into the bathroom, started undressing, and soon got into the shower. It was amazing getting to live with Akiza. He could get things done and not have to worry about the next time he would get to see her. She was always one room away and they were always more than happy to give hugs and kisses. As Yusei checked on his groin, making sure everything was okay, he thought about all the things that made her special. Akiza was so incredibly nice to him, always trying to find ways to make him happy. At the same time though, she cared an incredible amount of him, asking if there was anything she could do for him. Most of the time, once Yusei got accustom to his new living space, he would reply that he did not her assistance. Instead, he would wrap his thin arms around her and give her a tight hug. He'd tell her, "Thanks, but I don't need anything at all. Because I got to see the woman I love." Akiza would thank him back in a blush and it always brought smiles to their faces.
As Yusei got out, all he could think about was how much he loved Akiza. Making her smile, getting to talk with her, eat with her, and so much more. To be honest, Yusei felt more comfortable around her than anyone else. Sure, he got nervous when asking her personal questions, and being romantic. However, when it came to just talking and being around her, Yusei felt like he had grown so much from where he first started. He could barely talk to her or admit her feelings. However, like Yuseika, Yusei slowly learned how to talk to her about his feelings for her. Now, Yusei could go up, and hug her without ever worrying she would reject him.
He could even go up to her and, even though he would slowly and shyly ask, manage to get Akiza to figure out that he wanted to make out with her. If he got her okay, Akiza would lead him to a couch, where she would climb on top, and lead Yusei in a fun making out session. That was confidence that Yusei didn't have before. Yusei found himself rubbing his towel against his groin just thinking about her. He continued doing the said action as he put on his shirt and then walked out. Almost as if she was waiting outside, Akiza rushed over to him. She suddenly stopped and stared. Yusei didn't understand.
"Akiza, is something wrong?" Akiza looked down and saw something that made he eyes bigger. Yusei looked down and gasped. He quickly put his hands over his groin. Despite putting on his shirt and jacket, Yusei had been so lost in thought, that he had forgotten to put on any pants. The worst part was that, all that fantasizing and rubbing his towel against his groin had caused him to get excited. He realized what had happened and quickly headed to his room. Akiza started laughing as she saw his bare bottom rush down the hallway. Yusei knew it wasn't just his bottom that she was laughing at, but also his tiny friend downstairs.
Once Yusei quickly put on his underwear and pants, he went back outside, and nervously walked around the house for Akiza. He was nervous as to what she was going to say or how he was going to talk to her about it. It was the first time she had seen him bare down below and he knew that he was less than impressive. Jack and Crow were okay, but he knew that he was way out of their league, not even in the same zip code. Yusei sighed as he finally found her in the living room. When Akiza spotted him, she looked at him, and then away from him. Yusei was unsure as to what she was doing, as he didn't want her feeling uncomfortable about it, so he went inside the room. He sat down and they were very quiet.
Each one of them looked down and then away. They both knew it was uncomfortable, but Yusei knew he should be the one to speak up, After all, it was his tiny tiny friend, and he should be the one to show he wasn't ashamed of it.
"Look Akiza...I know it's not what you probably would have liked, but..." Yusei was suddenly stopped by a kiss on the cheek. He looked over and saw Akiza smiling at him. "Don't worry Yusei . It's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is something you should be proud of." Yusei was stunned. "Why should I be proud?" Akiza giggled. "You might be tiny down there, and it may not be what guys want, but I am certainly not disappointed. You are who you are and that's nothing to be ashamed of. After all, it was an accident that I saw you, and I know I ended up laughing about it. However, it wasn't due to your size down there, it was because you were running down the hallway half naked. That, to me, is what was funny. Not your size down there." Yusei finally managed a smile.
"You're not upset or disappointed?" Yusei asked and Akiza shook her head. "No Yusei. You look wonderful just the way you are and that includes downstairs." Yusei chuckled and gave her a kiss.
The next day, Yusei yawned as he got up. When he did, he sat down at the table, next to Akiza. He gave her a kiss and hugged her with one arm. "Good morning Akiza," he said happily, "I love you!" Akiza chuckled. "I love you too Yusei," she replied and gave him a kiss on the cheek back. As the Izinski's smiled, Yusei and Akiza both knew that they had to keep their romantic moments on the low, because they didn't want to upset them. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and everyone looked at one another.
"Is someone coming over today?" Akiza asked as she looked at her father. Her father shook his head. "No. No one's scheduled to come over." He went to the door and answered it. "Ahh! Jack and Crow! Please come in!" Yusei and Akiza's jaws dropped. "What?" they said in unison. Sure enough, Jack and Crow walked inside and the two of them came to meet them.
"Hey you guys!" Yusei said as they exchanged fist bumps, "How's it going?" Yusei then put an arm around Akiza and his two other friends smiled. "Well, from the looks of things, you and Akiza are getting along quite well." The couple looked at one another and smiled. "Yeah. We're doing great, but what about you too?" Jack shrugged. "I've...uh...won three straight tournaments Yusei," Jack replied, "Jeesh, you must spend so much time with Akiza that you can't even watch the news." Yusei frowned.
"Hey I spend lots of time with Akiza, but that doesn't mean I don't know what's going on in the world." Crow folded his arms. "Oh yeah. How many tournaments have I won in a row?" Yusei quickly tried to find an answer. "Um...lets see...uh...two, no four, no...uh..." Crow frowned. "I'm waiting." Yusei sighed. "I guess...three." Crow leaned forward and shouted, "None! Jack and I are in the same league and I keep losing to him!" Jack chuckled.
"Yeah. Isn't it great?" Jack replied. Crow quickly turned his attention to him and Yusei breathed a sigh of relief. "At least they forgot about me," he whispered to Akiza, who nodded. When they finally got done listening to Crow and Jack shout over each other, Akiza invited them to sit at the kitchen table. Akiza's mother served them both coffee, as Yusei and Akiza kept to their usual juice, despite Jack insisting that Yusei give coffee another try. It was then that Jack and Crow revealed the reason they had flown from across the country to be there.
"Martha's reading the last Chapter to the story," Jack replied. Yusei and Akiza were stunned. "What last Chapter?" Yusei asked. Jack rolled his eyes. "Didn't you get the message? She sent it a while ago." Yusei and Akiza looked at one another. "They were probably too busy making out that they couldn't read it." Yusei and Akiza became both worried and flushing red, because they worried how Akiza's parents were going to react. However, they were very calm about it.
"Oh I'm sure they just missed it," Ms. Izinski replied. Mr. Izinski nodded too. "I'm sure it just just a missed understanding and now you guys know." Akiza nodded. "So what do you think the last Chapter's about?" Jack and Crow looked at each other and then at the two of them. "I dunno," Crow replied. "Me neither," Jack added. Yusei and Akiza shrugged, as they figured everything was still a-okay.
Later, Yusei and Akiza went over the twins to talk about it and the twins showed them the message they received. It said that there was the final Chapter and that Martha wanted all of them to come over for it. Yusei and Akiza wondered why they hadn't received one. "Maybe it has some secret stuff about us," Akiza suggested. "Or maybe your characters aren't there anymore," Leo offered. Yusei and Akiza gulped. "I hope not," Yusei replied.
Still, even as the day went along, they knew that tomorrow might not be so well. They had listened to it before and it so far worked out pretty well. They learned about Yusei's new interests and having Akiza help him move into her house. Despite all that, they worried that worst was going to happen and that worried them. The night before, Yusei comforted Akiza on the couch.
"Akiza, no matter what happens, we don't have to follow them step for step. Just whatever happens, we'll do the opposite." Akiza sighed. "Okay." Yusei smiled and gave her a hug. "Don't worry Akiza. I love you so much." He squeezed her gently and grinned. "I love you so much," he added and Akiza giggled. "Yusei. Stop it. You're tickling me." Yusei laughed. "Oh really? That's a tickle? Well then here's a tickle!"
Akiza feel down on the couch and Yusei tickled her tummy. They laughed as Akiza tried to call "Uncle." Once she did, she then got back at Yusei and tickled him on his lean stomach. The two of them laughed and laughed and tried to get their worry about the next Chapter behind them. After all, it was only a Chapter and they didn't have to listen to it.
Or did they?
The next day, Yusei and Akiza came over with everyone else. They were the most nervous out of everyone else. Jack and Crow were laughing, the twins were having fun pointing at Dexter's new bow tie. Everyone else seemed happy and they felt terrible. They wanted to be happy, but the worry about not hearing about the message. As Martha sat down, she was smiling widely and looked around at everyone. Still, she frowned, once she saw Yusei and Akiza nervously holding hands. She didn't ask them what was wrong as she started the Chapter.
As Yuseika lied in his bed, all he could think about was Akizaka and how lucky he was to have her. Her smile, her laugh, the fact that she could cook, clean, and do so much more. The best thing was that she could make him happy and vise versa. It made him so happy whenever he got to see her smiling face. He finally got up and saw two figures at the doorway, one towering tall and the other shorter than him. Yusei smiled when he saw who they were.
"Jackka! Crowka! What are you guys doing here?" he asked as he rushed over to them. They exchanged greetings and Akizaka came over. "Akizaka!" Yusei said excitedly and wrapped his arm around her, bringing her close. Jackka and Crowka smiled. "You two sure are getting alone well. We're doing fine on our tours. To be honest, I really need to take a bath." Yuseika nodded. "Why don't you two go bathe in the local lake?" he suggested, "I'll hold onto your clothes until your done and then I'll take one by myself." The men nodded.
"And when your done, I'll be making a very delicious treat for you," Akiza remarked. Yuseika smiled. "I can't wait," he replied and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Akizaka smiled as she then gave him one right back. "Come on Crowka. Lets go before these two end up on top of each other." Crowka then followed Jackka to the lake. Yuseika was not far behind and took their clothes for them. Yuseika found himself feeling uncomfortable around two of his friends without clothes, so he quickly left them alone for a while.
When Yuseika came back, he looked away as he handed them their clothes. Yuseika then waited for them to give him some space and came back over once he was in the water. When Yuseika looked back, Jackka and Crowka were running away with his clothes. "Hey! Where are you going?" Yuseika shouted. Jackka and Crowka laughed as they ran away. "Lets see what happens when you don't have your clothes for Akizaka!" Crowka shouted. Yuseika gasped. If he didn't have any clothes, Akizaka would come looking for him, and then she'd go bonkers seeing him without clothes.
Yuseika looked around and tried desperately to think about a way out of this. He couldn't go into the village and walk around with no clothes on. People with think he's going bananas. Yuseika just looked around and put his hand over his groin. He stayed there for what felt like forever, not knowing what or how to get out of the situation. Finally, he spotted Akizaka coming over the hill, which overlooks the lake. "Yuseika!" she shouted from about 20 feet away, "Come on! I've made my treat for you! Why are you still bathing?" Yuseika panicked.
"Um...I'm just...trying to make sure that I'm extra clean." Yuseika knew he couldn't tell Akizaka he had no clothes. Plus, it would be dark before she could find his clothes and come back. "Well come on. You're plenty clean and I don't want your food to get cold." Yuseika sighed. "But Akizaka..." She frowned. "Yuseika!" Yuseika sighed and finally started getting out of the water. He removed his hands from his groin and, as the water got lower, exposed it for Akizaka. She gasped when she saw it and looked around for his clothes, finding none in sight.
"Yuseika, where are your clothes?" Yuseika looked down. "Jackka and Crowka took them from me." Akizaka frowned. "Oh! Poor Yuseika!" Akizaka hugged his wet body and, even as she leaned back, she found it hard to not to stare at Yusei's private area. "Um...you sure are..." Akizaka didn't know what to say without making Yuseika feel bad. "Small?" Yuseika finished. "Um...I was think more of...unique," she replied.
In real life, Jack and Crow were rolling on the floor laughing. "Yusei's as tiny as he was then as he is now!" Jack shouted and they roared with laughter. Everyone else looked at Yusei, who was growing redder and redder. Martha frowned. "Now boys, there is nothing wrong with Yusei or how small he is down there. Besides, you're forgetting there is still more to this conversation." She then went back to the book.
"Unique?" Yuseika asked and Akizaka nodded. "Besides," she replied, "I love you just the same as I did before." Yuseika smiled. "Good. I was worried that you'd leave me for that." Akizaka looked up at him. "Leave you? For having a tiny groin? That's silly." Akizaka took his hand. "Come on. Lets get you some clothes and get you all covered again." Yuseika smiled as Akizaka dragged him along. When they got closer to the house, Yuseika and Akizaka used both of their hands to cover the important areas. However, Yuseika could have used just one of his hands and it would have covered everything.
Later, once Yusei got his clothes back on, Akizaka smiled. "Feeling better?" she asked. Yuseika nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Akizaka." He gave her a kiss. "You're the best." Akizaka blushed. "Well...here's your treat." She set it out for him. "Once we have dinner, we can eat this for desert." Yuseika smiled as Akizaka thenn brought out the main course. Yuseika dug in, once they said grace, and enjoyed every bite. "Akizaka, did you make this yourself?" She nodded and Yusei looked at the food.
"This is wonderful!" he replied and then leaned over and gave her a kiss. Akizaka smiled as Yuseika enjoyed the food. After supper, he gave her another kiss and a hug. Akizaka smiled as she then served him dessert. Yuseika sighed contently as the food hit his mouth. "Akizaka, could you cook for me like this everyday?" Akizaka looked at her parents, who had seemed to be enjoying the whole thing. Could they really spend everyday together? Or by themselves? Akizaka had never really given it much thought.
The next day, Akizaka found Yuseika looking outside at the village, smiling."Yuseika...um..." Akizaka sat down and seemed nervous. "What? What is it Akizaka?" Yuseika asked. Akizaka sighed. "It's just..." She looked at him, almost frightened. "Would you like to spend everyday with me?" Yuseika smiled. "Akizaka, of course I would. And we're not just going to spend everyday together, but forever. Forever and ever." He gave her a hug. "Thanks Yuseika. That really means a lot to me." Yuseika smiled. "You're welcome Akizka." As she got up and left, Yuseika pondered on what he had just said.
"That's it. I'm going to do it."
The next day, Yuseika took Akizaka by the hand and lead her out into an open spot, away from the village. It was in the middle of a grassy field, with a small lake off in the distance. The breeze blew through their hair as the sun shine on their tan and pale skin. Yuseika then wrapped Akizaka in a hug. "I love you so much Akizaka. Never forget that." Akizaka blushed. "Thanks Yuseika." She hugged him back. "I love you too." They both smiled and then kissed one another. They looked out into the open.
"Akizaka. There's a reason why I brought you out here and I hope you'll realize what I'm trying to say." Akizaka turned to him and they quickly faced one another. Yuseika took her hands and smiled. "Ever since I've met you, you have been all I can think about. Your smile, your laugh, even this mark down my cheek is a reminder of you." Yuseika felt the mark on his cheek from the duel with Akizaka, which looked like his current Facility mark. "Still, I love you so much and...I...really want to spend even more time with you." Akizaka was a bit baffled.
"But we live together already Yuseika. How can we spend even more time together?" Yuseika wiggled, but finally managed to speak. "Because...I want...to ask you...if...you..." He took a deep breath. "Will be my wife?" Akizaka gasped. That was such a big question, but Akizaka was ready to answer it. "Yes Yuseika. I will marry you." She let go of his hands and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Yuseika couldn't stop her as she kissed him fully on the lips and pushed his back onto the ground. Yuseika managed to put his arms around her and kiss her fully back. After a long kissing session, Akizaka got off of him, and helped him up.
"Come on! We've got to tell everybody!" Yuseika nodded and they ran to the village. The first people they told were Marthaka and Akizaka's parents. "Wonderful!" Akizaka's father replied, "We must start planning!" The first thing Yuseika and Akizaka had to do was go to the local metal maker. There, they would by a ring to go on each hand, in the traditional way. As they started watching the metal maker carve the rings, Yuseika asked Akizaka if she wanted anything special on it.
"No Yuseika. Just a regular ring is fine. The fact that I get to be married to you is special enough." Yuseika blushed and secretly was happy, since extra things on it costs more. When Yuseika and Akizaka came back to Akizaka's parents house, they walked with a ring in a small cloth. The parents instantly wanted to see it and the started gushing over it. When they finally finished, they put the rings in a safe spot.
"Now we have to plan a date, the food, who to invite..." Akizaka's mother noted and the parents instantly got excited for that. The couple helped out as well, but Akizaka and Yuseika knew they were more knowledgeable and could plan a party better than they could. So, they let them handle all the big work and they helped out with every last detail.
Sure enough, a few months later, everything was set. Jackka and Crowka wore outfits specifically picked out by Yuseika. "Now I want you guys to be extra good today," Yuseika said as he looked them over. Jackka and Crowka rolled their eyes. "Yusieka, we're not little kids. We're full grown adults. We can handle ourselves," Jackka noted. Yuseika wasn't smiling. "I know, but a lot of times you two fight like little kids." Yuseika leaned in close. "And don't you dare put a hand on Akizaka. She's my girl!" He then stormed off.
"Wow. Who knew Yuseika could get so defensive about his girl," Crowka noted. "Ehh...he's just nervous," Jackka replied.
Later, Yuseika walked with Marthaka, as drums of love played. "I'm so nervous," Yuseika whispered rather loudly. "Oh you'll be all right," Marthaka replied, "You're marrying the girl of your dreams. Just remember that." Yuseika nodded and they walked down the aisle like ceremony. A fire burned behind a tribal leader. Yuseika then turned around and waited, as he stood in the marriage clothing. It was a festive color with lots of beads. necklaces, and bracelets. Yuseika then saw Akizaka in an even more extravagant outfit. She had on her usual bare midriff outfit and short shorts. However, it has lots of colors and designs on it. Hearts and symbols of love were all over, including beads just like Yuseika. She walked up to him, next to her father, and the two held hands.
After preforming the usual marriage ritual, everyone cheered and it was time for a huge banquet. Lots of food had been prepared by people in the village and there was lots of singing and dancing. Yuseika and Akizaka danced together, kissing and hugging constantly. Everyone was all smiles as they watched the happy couple. They then joined in, with Jackka being with Carlyka, Crowka and Sherryka, and Dexterka with Lunaka. Leoka had some single girls dancing around him as well.
Still, the day and night was about Yuseika and Akizaka and everyone knew that they would always be together forever. They kissed, as their family and friends dance all around them.
Jack frowned as Martha closed the book. "What the heck was that?" Everyone looked at him. "It was a happy ending," Dexter replied. Jack frowned. "Where was I? All I got was a snooty groomsman like part? Where's the Chapter dedicated to Jackka and his wedding? Couldn't there at least be a make out scene with him?" Martha giggled. "You were the last of the minor characters," she noted. Jack frowned.
"That's it! I'm going to get started on my own book! It'll be called..."
"I'm full of myself?" Crow replied before Jack could bring out his name. Everyone laughed. "That's garbage Crow! I would call it a King's Tale! And it'll be how I'm king of you and better than you and..." Everyone rolled their eyes and Crow and Jack kept arguing. Still, for Yusei, he felt nervous. He told Akiza they'd do the opposite of what was in the Chapter. However, he wanted what happened in the Chapter to actually happen to him.
As Yusei dropped the twins off and then drove home with Akiza, he took a deep breath. "Hey Akiza, lets cancel our deal of doing the opposite of Yuseika and Akizaka. It was a good moment and not a bad moment." Akiza turned to him. "I agree Yusei. I wouldn't want to do the opposite as them. It was a really nice last Chapter." Yusei smiled and they kissed once they got home.
Finally, after a long night of planning and thinking, Yusei had an idea. He then got excited and decided to get his stuff ready. The worst part about it was that he couldn't sleep. He was nervous and excited at the same time, as he wanted to make everything perfect. The next day, he told Akiza he wanted to go out and get something. Akiza watched as he took a limo instead of his car and wondered what he was up to.
A few days later, as they ate dinner alone with Akiza's parents gone, Yusei asked a question. "Akiza, can we play golf and tennis tomorrow?" Akiza was baffled. "Both? On the same day?" Suddenly, Yusei got worried. "Um...well...if you don't want to, that's fine too." Akiza smiled. "No Yusei. That sounds like a lot of fun. We'll go golfing in the morning, come back and eat breakfast and lunch, and then play tennis in the afternoon before dinner." Yusei's face gleamed. "That sounds perfect Akiza." He leaned over and they kissed.
The next morning, Yusei got his clubs as Akiza came up to him with her hat and clubs. "Ready to go?" she asked. Yusei nodded. "Yep. " They picked up their clubs and then headed outside for the car. After putting the clubs in, Yusei and Akiza got in, and Yusei headed off. They stopped for some juices and then headed back to the course. They had gotten to play a few times since their first couple of times. So, they had gotten better and could have played even more if the weather had cooperated.
They got there and, after Akiza paid, they tee'd off. Yusei and Akiza smiled all the way through, even after having their share of good and bad shots. They kissed after each hole and kept encouraging each other. When they got finished, they stopped at the spot where they had confessed their love. Yusei smiled and remind her of the moment.
"Don't worry Yusei. How could I forget a moment like that?" Yusei agreed and they headed for the car. When they got back, Ms. Izinski had already made breakfast and was in a really good mood. "Here you go you too," she said as she slid a plate towards both of them. Akiza smiled and Yusei looked at her, as if she did something wrong.
"Yusei, is everything okay?" Yusei nodded. "Yeah. It's fine," he replied still looking nervous. They ate their food, but Mr. Izinski then asked Akiza an odd question. "So Akiza, how are you doing okay today?" Akiza looked up. "Yeah...why?" she asked. Her father shrugged. "Just curious." Akiza was baffled, but decided to let it slide.
Later, they all had lunch together, where Akiza's parents again asked her if everything was going all right. "Yes," she replied, "Why do you keep asking?" Mr. Izinski was nervous as he replied. "We just want to make sure you're all right." Akiza continued with the questions. "Why? Is there something secretly wrong with me?" Her parents shook their head. "No. Everything's fine," they replied.
Akiza breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, but you guys are acting really weird." She took her plate and went to the kitchen. Her parents and Yusei all looked at one another.
Later, Yusei and Akiza headed out to the tennis courts. Yusei noticed Akiza wearing a shirt that fitted and her chest did not bounce (even though he knew Akiza would never do that, because she always wore a bra). He took out the tennis balls and they started playing. They had fun hitting back and forth and quickly worked up a sweat. They took a break before going back at it and then finished their game. When they were done, they laughed as they walked off the court.
After heading home to the house. the two of them showered, and got redressed. They had a warm dinner and soon had the night to themselves, as Akiza's parents were going out. Akiza sat in the living room to watch TV and Yusei joined her, looking nervous.
"Yusei, is something wrong?" Yusei didn't move. 'She can read you like a book,' Yusei's mind told him, 'Next thing you know, she'll tell you that you're sweating like a pig.'
"You're sweating like a pig," she replied, "You're very nervous and you're shaking." Yusei closed his eyes. 'Crap!' he screamed in his head. He took a deep breath and took her hand. "Come with me," he said. Akiza turned off the TV and got up. She then followed him upstairs. "Yusei, if you're thinking we're doing that, because my parents are gone, you're seriously mistaken." Yusei managed an odd laugh.
"Hahaha," he said loudly, "No. This is going to be better." Akiza didn't get it. He then led her to his room and opened the door. When Akiza stepped inside, Yusei shut the door. "Yusei, why are we in your room?" Yusei swallowed and went up to her.
"Akiza...a few months ago...I would have been stuck alone. No one would be there to wake me up or greet me in the morning. Akiza, you offered me a house where I could live like a real family. A mom, a dad, and you. It was like I was living as part of your family. I almost felt like I was your brother." Akiza smiled.
"But...you're more than a sister to me Akiza...you're so much more. You're the person I want to spend time with, no matter who else wants my time, besides maybe Martha. But...I think she would understand if it was you." Akiza chuckled. "I...I want to be with you everyday of my life. Even still, that's not the end. I want to be together forever Akiza, with you." Akiza watched as Yusei got down to one knee.
"What I am trying to ask is...if you...Akiza...would..." He pulled out a box and showed her the ring. "Marry me?" Akiza gasped and felt her eyes water. She covered her mouth with her hands. "Yes Yusei. I will!" Yusei stood up and hugged her. Still, they knew a hug wasn't going to be enough. They shared a quick kiss and Yusei took the ring out. He put the box in pocket and then Akiza put out her hand.
After confirming what the right finger was, Yusei slipped it on, and Akiza brought it in close to look at it. She looked up at him and all Yusei could do was smile. Akiza quickly put her arms around him and gave him a kiss. Yusei was ready to respond and they kissed for a long time. They leaned back and continued kissing many more times. Finally, Akiza let go.
"I have to tell everyone," she said with joy and ran out of the room, pulling Yusei with. They found a phone and Akiza quickly got in contact with her parents, who already knew. "So that's why you guys were acting so strange," Akiza noted. Yusei got on the phone with Martha and told her.
"Oh! I always knew you two shared something special!" Martha commented and kept talking to Yusei, who was blushing all the way. After talking over the excitement, they instantly needed plans and ideas. That's when a second surprise came about, just as the Izinski parents came back.
"I'm...going to go to school with you," Yusei remark. Akiza was stunned. "How?" she asked and Yusei looked down. "The...the twins offered to pay for me...for everything." Akiza was shocked. Yusei didn't seem like he would accept such a gift. However, Akiza was curious as to what he wanted to do.
"I want to go into business. I'm not sure what to do yet as far as specifics, but definitely something business related." Akiza stood up next to him. "You want an office job?" she asked and Yusei nodded. "I hate all the pain and aches from doing Duel Runners. I want to do an office job, because then I could do something less physical." Akiza was still a surprised, but understood. "Are you going to school with me?" Yusei looked away.
"Um...yeah. I was trying to do that." Akiza's mouth opened wide with joy. She then hugged Yusei and kissed him on the cheek. "I can't wait to go to school with you." Yusei nodded and took her hand. He looked firmly into her eyes. "Yeah, but...I'll always be with you Akiza. No matter what." Akiza couldn't describe the happiness she felt and kissed him once more.
"But...will we still be living here?" she asked. Mr. Izinski came up to her. "Well...we're hopeful to find you guys a place soon," he replied, "I have something in mind, but will wait until then." Akiza and Yusei were both curious, but Akiza's father refused to say what it was.
As they got ready for the wedding, Akiza wasn't sure who her bridesmaids were going to be. Yusei had Jack and Crow, but she only had Carly that was about her age. Luna could be one as well, but she worried that she might be too young to really be a bridesmaid. Akiza didn't really know Mina that much, so she was worried about finding a second bridesmaid.
Since Jack and Crow wanted to help with the wedding, they tried to include advice whenever the could. Yusei informed Akiza that Jack and Crow told him to "bulk up" for it, but Akiza made sure to give them a "Martha like" scolding on such a terrible idea. However, Sherry wanted to give Akiza some ideas from a real French woman about fashion and style.
At first, Akiza was opposed to the idea, thinking that Sherry wanted to take over her wedding. The next part was that Akiza still felt uncomfortable, especially after she thought for so long that Sherry wanted her man. Finally, after telling Yusei about Sherry's ideas and bugging about the wedding style, Yusei asked both of them to sit down, and talk about it. Yusei was going to have to take Akiza's side, but he wanted all of Akiza's fears about Sherry out in the open. Sherry said that she thought Yusei wasn't the guy for her and respected them as a couple. Akiza admitted to being jealous and thinking that Sherry was going to take Yusei from her.
After that was over, the two made up and soon found that they worked well together on the planning. So well that Akiza made Sherry her second bridesmaid. Akiza had to occasional get Sherry to back off of her selections and choices, but it was all fine and dandy. Yusei helped out as well, but the unsung heroes were their parents. Martha and Akiza's parents really got the finer details done for them.
Their wedding was going to be just before school started for both Yusei and Akiza. They didn't want the wedding to distract them from their studies and they got most of the planning done very quickly after Yusei's proposal. The night before, the twins wanted to show them their wedding present. Yusei and Akiza didn't understand, but then showed them their surprise.
It was an apartment the floor below them and had tons of room. The twins bought the apartment, as thank you for all of the work and lessons they taught them. Yusei and Akiza both cried as they hugged both of them. The twins said they enjoyed seeing Yusei cry and they all were overjoyed.
The next day was the wedding and it was similar to the book. They had a small band playing and all of their friends and families were there. Crow and Sherry went up first and then Jack and Carly. Yusei admitted to Martha that he was nervous and Martha told him he was marrying the girl of his dreams. That made Yusei a little more comfortable, so the two walked up arm in arm.
Yusei then watched as Akiza came up, in her gorgeous wedding gown. Yusei could barely muster a comment about how beautiful she looked. "You...you look amazing," he remarked and Akiza said he did too. After getting over the usual stuff, it was time for the big "I do's." Yusei and Akiza faced one another and slowly repeated what the minister told them to say. When they finally said, "I do", not a word was said when they ask for anyone saying if they shouldn't be married. Finally, they both kissed and finished the ceremony.
After a delicious dinner and a toast from Jack, which included a sly remark about how the couple refused to drink alcohol, it was time for the first dance. Yusei and Akiza went up and cried into each other's shoulder. After the song was finished, the rest of the people came up. As they looked around, Yusei and Akiza remarked how the couples and people were just like in Martha's book.
"Maybe that book helped us discover each other," Yusei whispered in his new wife's ear. "And it helped us learn more about each other," Akiza replied. The two of them kissed, just like in the story, as everyone else danced around them.
A/N: I know there's one Chapter left and I know some people will be slightly upset with it, but I had it planned since the beginning.
I hope you enjoyed the Chapter and it was worth the wait!
