Chapter 33!

A/N: Sorry for another cliffhanger last chapter!

Thanks for all the reviews and views! It really makes me so happy that so many people want to read this story!

Akiza took a deep breath. She thought for a moment and then looked up.

"I guess...I guess I didn't want to lose all the friends I had made," Akiza started.

"If felt like this was a new beginning to my life, almost like a do-over. I had friends. Their first thought about me wasn't fear or to run away. They seemed to think that I was someone who's their friend or part of their family."

Leo and Luna looked at one another.

Akiza then turned towards Martha.

"Martha: You were like the mother I had always dreamed about. You were kind, caring, and welcomed me with open arms. You didn't care how or why I got to the Satellite, you just wanted to give me a home."

Martha smiled at her words.

"You're a great cook, you give great advice, and you're smart too. You have so many connections in the Satellite. You have friends, know doctors, and even know the judge that we have here today. You were the perfect mother, not just for me, but for the twins and Yusei too."

"I don't know how many orphans have lived at your orphanage, but it would be hard for even one of them not to like you."

Akiza then paused for a moment as she looked at Leo.

Leo gave a big grin at her. He couldn't wait to hear what compliments she gave him.

"Leo: You always know how to light up a room. If someone's down or upset, you know how to make them laugh and smile. You're the little brother I never had."

Leo blushed.

"You're very protective of your sister. If she's in trouble or needs help, you're the first one to come to her aid. You enjoy being with her at school and you know how to help her through the day."

Leo squirmed in his seat from embarrassment.

Akiza then turned her attention to Luna.

"Luna: Your like the little sister I never had. You aren't afraid to ask questions. When someone does something wrong, you tell them. You care about your brother very much. I guess that's a twin's thing."

Luna smiled.

"You work hard at school and we get to talk about "girl-stuff", that I'm sure Yusei and Leo wouldn't want to."

Yusei and Leo look annoyed.

"I also see you and Leo as the kids that Yusei and I help take care of. Yes, Martha is there, but we talk to you, help you with your schoolwork, and go out together. As dumb as this sounds, I feel like you two are our daughter and son."

Akiza blushed, along with Leo, Luna, and Yusei.

"And Yusei..."

Akiza smiled as Yusei's eyes got big. Yusei bit his lip. He was nervous of what Akiza was about to say about him.

"Yusei...I don't know what to say. You're every girl's dream boyfriend. You're kind, caring, and attractive."

"You were so kind to the three of us when we first met. You encouraged me to open up on what clothes I wear, especially since my parents would never let me wear anything that showed skin. They even had me wear stockings, year round to school, to cover my legs. But you gave me the courage to finally open up and wear clothes that I wanted to wear."

"You take care of the twins and you're very nice to them, myself, and Martha."

"You're the most attractive guy I've ever known. I'd never thought I'd be dating such an attractive guy. You're muscular chest, to your flat waist, to your long legs, and so on."

Akiza and Yusei blushed at one another. They smiled bashfully.

Akiza wanted to end by talking to whole group.

"You all took me in as a girl without a home. You cared for me and all loved me, without knowledge of my powers. So, I hope that you can still love and care for me with my powers."

Akiza looked down. She could feel her eyes start to water.

"Well, normally I'd ask right away if you were sure that you wanted custody of her. However, I think I'll give you 10 minutes to think it over. I'll come back for your decision," the judge said.

Everyone stood up as the judge left. They sat down once he left.

Akiza, meanwhile, started to cry on her short skirt and bare legs.

Yusei then stood up. The twins did too, but Martha stretched out her arm and shook her head.

Leo and Luna sat down, with concerned faces.

Yusei, walked up to the witness stand.

"Akiza," he said a concerned voice.

"Yusei...I...I'm sorry that I lied to you," Akiza said as tears continued to fall from her face.

Yusei sat down next to her and put his arm around her.

"Akiza, that wasn't a big lie and I don't blame you. In fact, I would've done the same thing if I was in your situation."

"But still Yusei," Akiza said as she looked up at him, "What about my powers? Aren't you afraid of me? That I could hurt Leo, Luna, Martha, or other innocent people?"

Yusei sighed.

"Akiza, there's always that risk, but tell me, have you hurt anyone since you dueled when you were younger?"

Akiza shook her head.

"See, there's nothing to worry abo..."

"But Yusei, the only reason that happened was that I never dueled using a duel disk. I can't hurt someone if I don't try."

"Akiza, you showed you can control your powers. Wasn't that the point of getting those tests and stuff?"

Akiza stopped crying and just stared to sniffle.

"Yes."

"So, why should you be afraid to duel, if you've proven that you can duel and not hurt someone?"

Akiza smiled a little bit.

"I guess I shouldn't."

Yusei smiled and Akiza looked up to him. They wrapped one another in a hug. Leo and Luna ran over.

"See Akiza, you don't have to be afraid of your powers," Leo said.

"But, weren't you guys all afraid a few minutes ago?" Akiza asked.

"Yes," Leo said.

"But," Luna interrupted him, "Like Yusei said, you showed that you have the control to not hurt us. So, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Akiza smiled as Martha came over.

"So, do you think we should keep Akiza?" Martha asked.

"Yeah! Let's keep her," Leo, Luna, and Yusei replied.

The twins hugged her and Yusei gave her a kiss on the cheek.

The judge came in a few minutes later and everyone was seated together.

"So have you made a decision?" he asked.

"Yes, we would like to have custody of Akiza," Martha said.

The judge smiled. He took out his familiar stamp and pen and completed the documents.

The four of them met outside.

"Akiza and I are going to go for a ride," Yusei said. He gave a wink to Martha.

Martha winked back and Akiza looked confused, along with the twins.

They all said goodbye and Akiza and Yusei went to the duel runner.

"I feel scared Yusei. This is my first time riding one," Akiza said.

"Don't worry," Yusei said as Akiza put her helmet on, "I will make sure that nothing happens to you. Besides, I didn't show you my secret place yet."

Akiza was nervous as she got on. Yusei sat in front of her and she quickly grabbed tightly on his flat stomach. Yusei then took off.

It was about an hour before sunset and Akiza leaned her head on his back. She looked out over a bridge that overlooked the city. She then closed her eyes and listened.

Yusei and her heartbeats ticked in the same rhythm. She was at peace.

Yusei could feel Akiza lean on his back and could feel her heartbeat too. He kept driving and felt the same peace that Akiza felt.

It was a drive that seemed to last forever.

Yusei then pulled up to a small diner on the far edge of town. Akiza and Yusei took off their helmets. Yusei then took her hand and they walked in.

They sat a table and there weren't many people in the diner. It wasn't the dumpiest place, but wasn't the nicest either. It seemed like a local, family owned restaurant.

A waitress gave them menus and they looked for what they wanted to eat.

"This doesn't seem like the type of food that you'd normally eat Yusei," Akiza said.

It was mostly greasy unhealthy foods.

"Well, I visited this place when I was growing up. We didn't get to go here very much and I go even less now. However, I remember having fun every time that I went."

The waitress came back and then they ordered. They then talked about the trial a little more.

"I can't believe what a relief this is," Akiza said, "I thought you'd leave me for sure."

Akiza set her hands in front of her on the table. She still looked concerned and looked at the table.

Yusei then held her hands and smiled at her.

"Don't worry Akiza. Like I said before, "I'd never leave you, no matter what."

Akiza looked up and smiled at him.

"Yusei."

"Akiza."

They smiled at one another.

"Thanks for being such a good friend," Akiza said, "I'm a little embarrassed of all the things I said about you."

"Don't worry," Yusei said, "That came from your heart and I can't tell you how happy I was to hear that."

Akiza and Yusei blushed.

They then spotted their food coming. The waitress set the food down and thanked her.

They ate, paid, and started walking to the runner, hand-in-hand.

Akiza got on and wasn't as afraid as before. However, she still put her arms tightly around Yusei's waist and he drove off.

They then drove over the same bridge as before. The sun was now setting in the sky.

Yusei then pulled over to a parking lot near the bridge. He stopped and helped Akiza get off.

They then took off their helmets.

"Oh Yusei, this beautiful," Akiza said.

"It sure is," he said.

Akiza and Yusei wrapped their arms around one another. They leaned into one another.

Akiza and Yusei then shared a deep, passionate kiss, as the sun set behind them.

A/N: Don't worry! There will be more to the story! I wanted to make this the original ending, but this story's so popular. So, I thought I'd continue chapters ago. I hope no one's upset that it'll keep going.
