Chapter 9
Rebecca sighed, tiredly. She had been with Alexis on her limited amount of sleep and, after Alexis fell back to sleep, her friends came in. Rebecca, doing her best to avoid a conversation, managed to get out and head in the direction of room 63, Aki's room.
She hid by the door frame, listening to the sound of voices.
"Don't say that!" An angry feminine voice growled, "It's no prank, or whatever you think it is! It's actually happening! Yusei is back, along with-"
"Aki, you're just going to find out it was fake and get hurt. Then, where will you be? Right back to the first day that you believed he would never come back." This was a male voice, one she sensed was just as hurt, but unwilling to take a chance and get hurt again.
"But Jack," Aki began again, sounding a bit desperate, "I know you don't want-"
"I don't want!" Jack's voice boomed angrily, "I want to find him just as much as you do! But I'm not going to let myself get even more hurt, because some stupid girl with a resemblance to Yusei turned up in your room, claiming that they were back and that we shouldn't look for them!" He sounded extremely hurt.
There was a moment of silence in which she knew that Aki probably was fighting tears. She knew, because she had been over this before.
Then, she could hear it. Jack realizing what he had said and leaving. "I'm going to go get more tea."
As he slipped out the door, Rebecca jumped back. She didn't want to be noticed. Thankfully, she wasn't. She walked in and took a seat where she was almost certain that Jack had been sitting.
Aki took a moment to lay there. Her eyes were puffy and her hands shook. But she still had the strength to boldly growl, "Who are you and what do you want?"
Looking Aki in the eyes, she replied, "My name is Rebecca Hopkins. I was a close friend of Yugi Motou's. I heard-I heard that they-he was back. I needed to be sure."
Aki melted almost instantly. She sighed, blinking away new found tears from the relief of finding someone who believed her. She turned her head tiredly to look at Rebecca. "You believe me?"
"Yes," She replied, wishing that she didn't. "And I-I'm going to find them. They left behind clues somewhere, and I'm determined to find them. Can-Can you tell me your story?"
Aki sighed. Rebecca could see in her eyes that she had told the story many times with deaf ears the only ones listening. She must have been tired of telling the same story to so many people who didn't think that it was really happening. Rebecca could only imagine the stress that that would put her through. Aki nodded.
"It was a normal day, and I was walking to my office. I council physics, and a girl that I only knew as Caitlynn was waiting for me. I was late." She sighed. "When I walked in, imagine how surprised I was when I saw a female version of Yusei Fudo waiting for me."
Rebecca paused, "Was she wearing lipstick?"
Aki blinked. "Uh, yeah. It was kind of dark, but somewhat bright as well."
Rebecca nodded, "Okay. Keep going."
"She told me that Yusei Fudo, Jaden Yuki, and Yugi Motou were back and that I shouldn't go after them." She blinked away tears. "She also told me to tell you and-and Alexis Rhodes."
Rebecca smiled at her, finishing up her typing. "Thank you. I was just in the other room with Alexis Rhodes, and she saw them. All of them. They really are-"
"WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU?" Boomed a familiar voice. Jack was back.
Behind him came two males and a girl.
Crap, Rebecca thought, we're screwed.
FudoTwin17: Yay!
Cat: She's probably getting tired, so she's going to leave now.
FudoTwin17: Yeah. *frowns* Oh, and sorry it's so short, but it just felt right to end it there. Sorry. You'll get the rest latter.
Cat: Bye! Review!
