A/N: Chapter 28!

I'm trying to bring back the situation I had before the duel, involving Akiza and her powers. Sorry that the beginning involves the end of the last Chapter, in case no one read it.

Akiza watched as Leo and Luna ran home from their day from school.

"Akiza! Akiza! You'll never guess what happened," Leo shouted.

Akiza smiled as they stopped in front of her.

"What Leo?"

"We got an A on the family project we did!"

Luna hands her the grade sheet.

"Colorful, well present," she read.

"Great acting by Leo?"

"Hey, what's that smell?" Leo asked as he pulled Luna's arm, "Lets go see what Martha's cooking!"

They ran inside.

"Martha's not cooking anything yet," Akiza thought, "She went to the store."

Akiza walked in and Leo was telling Yusei all about the report. Akiza walked up and showed Yusei the report.

"Great acting by Leo?" Yusei asked as he read the printout.

"Whoops! Gotta tinkle," Leo said.

He went in the bathroom, stared at the toilet for a few moments, and then flushed it to imitate a real bathroom break. When he got out, Yusei and Akiza were looking at the poster again.

"Should we hang this up you guys?" Yusei asked.

"Yeah," Leo shouted.

"If you want, that'd be great," Luna shouted from her bedroom. She was changing into her normal clothes.

"All right, I'll get some tape," Yusei said.

He got some tape and hung it on the wall near the TV. Just as he got done, Martha came in the door.

"Can someone help me with the groceries?" she asked.

"Oh! I'll help you," Yusei said as he went to help her.

Akiza smiled as his generosity. She continued to look at the poster. Yusei and Martha were done putting the groceries away and Akiza was still looking at it.

"Akiza, you really seem interested in that poster," Yusei said, "Is something wrong?"

"Well," Akiza started, "It's just weird how my family still has "legal custody" of me, but I'm living here."

Martha got an idea.

"You know, I could get official custody of you, if you want. I know a judge that does it."

"You could do that?" Yusei asked.

"Yes, in fact, that's why your living with me Yusei. I have custody of you."

"What do you all do?" Akiza asked. She walked over to them.

"Just file some paperwork," Martha said.

Akiza smiled.

"But since you and the twins both had a parental experience, you'll probably have to talk about that," Martha added.

Akiza turned with a stunned look on her face.

"It's no big deal," Martha said, "Yusei, will you help me with dinner?"

"Of course," he said.

"Oh! I'll need to take a night to talk to judge for a court date..." Martha continued as Yusei and Martha headed for the dining room.

Akiza walked up to the poster again. She looked at it, with a saddened look on her face, as she ran her fingers around the pictures and words.

"Could I lose all of this?" she thought, "The family that I loved so much?"

She sighed.

"I'm going to have to be forced to tell them. I don't know how they'll react, especially Yusei. I guess it's better to have it come out into the open, but..."

She closed her eyes. She could feel tears were about to form on her face. She quickly ran into her room and shut the door. She leaped onto her bed and shoved her face into her pillow.

"What will Yusei think? What will the twins and Martha think? Will they kick me out like last time?"

Akiza continued to cry and she slowly fell asleep.

_Akiza's Dream_

Akiza looks around and all she sees is black.

"Hello? Is someone there?" she calls.

Suddenly, she sees Yusei, almost with a white spotlight on him. He's looking away from her. He has no shirt on and is wearing his tight, black jeans. Akiza runs towards him.

"Yusei! Yusei," she calls.

She gets to up to him and he's still facing the opposite direction. She wraps her arms around his flat waist and rests her head on his broad shoulders. She then looks up to his head and continues to wrap her arms around him.

"Yusei! Hello? Yusei?" she asks.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asks.

Akiza lightens her grip.

"Tell you what Yusei?"

"About your powers?" he asks.

Yusei turns around, with a hard, firm look on his face. His eyes were a firm stare and lips made a straight line.

"I...I..." Akiza started. Her voice was starting to break.

"I didn't want you to leave me," Akiza said, "You were the perfect person for me. You're kind, gentle, great with the twins."

She paused as she looked at him shirtless.

"You have a great body! I love your strong upper body. You have a beautiful, flat stomach, and I don't care that you don't have abs of steel."

Akiza paused as Yusei continued to stare at her.

"I never thought I'd have a boyfriend. Let alone one that's so caring and..."

Akiza struggled to say it.

"Sexy to look it. I think about you when I masturbate at night."

Yusei leaned forward at Akiza. He was still holding the same expression on his face as he was before.

"I told you that you could talk to me about it. Why didn't you? I told you I'd understand."

Akiza started to cry.

"But...but we had so much going. We did so much together. The clothes, our first kiss, the secret first date, you dueled for my safety, and so much more. I didn't want to ruin that."

Yusei continued to stare at her.

"Yeah, well, this is worse. Far worse."

Akiza looked up as him, with tears in her eyes and a shocked face.

"What do you mean?"

"I told you that you could always come to me and you didn't. You had to have it be forced out. Why? Why?"

His voice started to rise.

"I thought that if I showed you love and care, then you'd open up, and explain to me what was the matter."

Akiza fell to her knees and continued to cry. She leaned down, stuck out her arms, and buried her face in her arms.

"But I wasn't good enough. No! Even with all the love and care I showed you, you still couldn't tell me. If I can't make you open up to me, then who can? Your parents? Maybe they were right. Maybe you are a witch."

Yusei started to walk away. Akiza looked up.

"No! Yusei! Don't leave me!" Akiza yelled as she reached out her right hand.

Yusei continued to get farther and farther from her. Soon, he was gone.

Akiza looked up and closed her eyes.

"Somebody help me!" Akiza yelled.

_End Akiza's Dream_-

"Yusei, could you get Akiza for us?" Martha asked as she put the last plate of food on the table.

"Oh sure," he said. The twins were already sitting at the dining room table.

He walked up to her door and could hear he talking. He opened her door and could hear her more clearly.

"No! Yusei! Don't leave me," Akiza said.

Yusei rushed over to her and heard more.

"Somebody help me," Akiza said.

"Akiza! Akiza," Yusei said. He started, gently, shaking her.

"What does she mean by, "Yusei! Don't leave me!" and "Somebody help me?" he thought as he shook her.

Akiza opened her eyes.

"Yusei?" she asked in confusion.

Yusei smiled at her.

"Yusei," she said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I thought you had left me forever," she exclaimed.

"Why would I do that?" Yusei asked as he wrapped his arms around her.

Akiza gasped and remembered the dream.

"Uh...uh..." she said.

Yusei then realized how wet Akiza's clothes were.

"Akiza! Your neck's all wet and you feel sweaty all over! You must have had a really bad dream."

Yusei and Akiza leaned back from one another.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No," Akiza answered quickly. She then smelled something.

"Oooh! What's that smell?" she asked.

"Oh! Right! It's time for dinner," Yusei said, "C'mon!"

They got up and headed to the kitchen.

"What's taking them so long?" Leo asked, "They're probably smooching off of one another."

Akiza and Yusei sat down at the table.

"Well, I'll call the judge tonight," Martha said.

"Judge?" Leo asked.

"About what?" Luna asked.

"I want to get full custody of the three of you. That way, you'll all be officially part of this family."

"All right," Leo and Luna said. Although, Leo said it with more enthusiasm.

"All you'll have to do, is answer a few questions, and that'll be it. It'll be easy as pie."

"No, that won't be easy," Akiza thought.

A/N: Please Review!

I had a hard time writing Akiza's dream. Yusei yelling, walking away, and then disappearing almost made me cry.
