Part 2. Chapter 2. Too bad this isn't my second story. That would make for a cool combination. Anyway, time for Yusei to meet up with that guy from the airport. You know the one with the orange hair... and the name derived from a bird variety... if you need more hints than that then I don't know what the hell to tell you.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or any of it's characters. I own the plot and... really not much other than that...
As he arrived in the airport, he looked around for his friend, hoping to find the carrot-top somewhere. He did, as he found him, bag slung over his shoulder, waving at him.
"Hey, Yusei! Took you long enough!" He got off of his runner and took of his helmet, smiling at his long-gone friend.
"Crow. How've you been man?" He went to him, doing their signature hand-shake as he reached him.
"I'd be better if I didn't have to wait for your crab-head to remember you had to come pick me up." Yusei got a bit embarassed. Not because of Crow making fun of his hair, but because he was late to get to the airport. He hated being late, but he couldn't help it.
"Sorry man. Work's been crazy." Crow smirked.
"Still keeping the city in check uh?"
"Something like that." He helped his friend get his things on the runner.
"From what I heard from Jack, nowadays you've got more than the job on your mind." He stopped a bit, but soon recovered, knowing where the conversation was going.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Something about you dating a friendly redhead whose name starts with A."
"Alright, cut it out Crow. I get it." Crow laughed at his friend's increasingly red face.
"Sure. What I don't get is why I had to hear this from Jack of all people."
"Sorry man, but it's like I told you. Work's been crazy. Besides..."
"What?"
"... Akiza takes the rest of my time. And she's worth it."
"Oh buddy... you've got it hard bro."
"No kidding. C'mon man, she's waiting for me at home. I'm telling you she makes a killer meatloaf. You're gonna love it."
"Killer in a good sense... right?" Yusei glared a bit, but smirked right after, realising he'd pretty much handed that joke to him in a silver platter. Crow smirked as well.
"C'mon man. Let's go." They got on the runner and went of to Akiza's place.
-MEANWHILE-IN AKIZA'S PLACE-
She was just finishing setting the table for three. She couldn't believe Crow was coming back too. Jack and Carly were already in New Domino. Now Crow. Pretty soon the whole gang would be back together. That would make for an interesting day. The old team all gathered up. 5D's back in force. She checked the room, making sure it was ready.
"Perfect." She heard the buzzer and went to the intercomm.
"Who is it."
"It's Yusei." She smiled and pressed the button to open the door.
"Come on up." She shut off the intercomm and went to take the meatloaf out of the oven, setting it in the table. The bell rang. She wiped her hands to the apron she had on, taking it off afterwards and moving to the door. She opened it, finding Crow first and Yusei behind him. She smiled and hugged him.
"Hey Crow!" He hugged back lightly.
"Hey Akiza. How've you been?"
"Great. You?"
"Awesome. You should talk with your boy here about getting to places in time though." Yusei talked from behind him.
"Hey. I said I was sorry man. Don't put me in the dog-house." He got through the door, kissing his girlfriend and closing it with his foot afterwards.
"Yusei. Don't tell me you forgot to get Crow form the airport." He put on an embarassed face.
"I didn't forget about him. I just... lost track of time." She smacked him lightly in the arm.
"Hey! C'mon Akiza, you know me."
"Yes I do." She huffed out and moved to the living room/dining room, finding Crow with a smile on his face, checking out the place.
"This is nice. How did you find this place?"
"Actually it was one of the nurses from the hospital that pointed this place out for me."
"I need to meet that nurse. Maybe she can fix me up with an apartment too." Yusei laughed.
"Knowing you Crow, you'll just end up in her place." Crow faked innocence.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Yusei. I am an honorable man. So Akiza tell me... is she pretty?" Yusei laughed and Akiza followed, Crow smirking.
"She is. I'm sure I can set you up with her one of these days."
"Awesome." Crow's stomach growled. The room erupted into laughter.
"C'mon boys. Dinner time."
They sat down, ate and talked amongst themselves for hours. At the end, Crow thanked Akiza for the great dinner and reception and him and Yusei went to the latter's home. Crow Hogan was back.
Yey! Crow's back in town ladies. I'm thinking of setting him up with someone, not necessarily the nurse. We'll see what happens from here. As always, reviews are a welcome bonus. You reading and enjoying this fic is my top priority and objective. That being said...
