A/N: Chapter 43!
Sorry for the awkward episodes before. I was trying to not make it quite so bad, but it didn't help.
Again I apologize.
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything related!
Now that January was nearing an end, Valentine's Day was on the near horizon.
Unfortunately for Akiza and Yusei, they nearly forgot.
Yusei was sitting around with Jack and Crow, inside his room.
Valentines day was 3 weeks away.
"So, Yusei, what are you getting Akiza for Valentines Day?" Crow asked.
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about," Yusei said, "Why does there have to be so many holidays that you have to buy a gift for someone?"
"Well, it's a tradition that slowly dies as you get older," Jack said.
"What do you mean?" Crow asked.
"Well, first you start out like Yusei and Akiza do. Every holiday's important and you have to buy something," Jack said, "But as you get older, you don't start to care as much. I for one don't care at all."
"Well, no gifts for Carly," Crow said, "So what do you think Yusei? Big and expensive?"
"Well, since Christmas was a blow out, I doubt we'll buy anything nearly that expensive," Yusei said.
"So what will you get her?" Crow asked.
"Flowers, card, and chocolate," Yusei said.
Jack and Crow laugh.
"That's it?" they scream.
Yusei growls.
"Yeah, well, you guys told me that Akiza wouldn't find me attractive and she said that she did. So, neither one of you know enough about love," Yusei said.
He stormed out.
Jack and Crow continued to laugh.
The next night, Akiza was looking at the scrap book of pictures. Martha was sitting and looking at the mail at the dinner table.
Yusei and the twins were doing their homework in their rooms.
Akiza smiled as she looked at little Yusei in many of the pictures.
"Yusei sure loved stuffed animals as a kid, didn't he?" Akiza said.
Luna came out of her room, to go to the bathroom, but stopped to listen to what they were saying.
"Well, when he was younger, I had more orphans to take care of," Martha said.
She got up and went over to the sofa, where Akiza was sitting.
"So, I would find one of the cheapest gifts to give them. Stuffed animals were the thing. I even made clothes for them. It's in the closet near the bathroom. It's a huge box."
Akiza smiled as she saw one with Yusei sleeping in bed.
He had many of them near him and his arm was wrapped around some of them.
"Does he still have them?" Akiza asked.
"Of course he does."
Inside Yusei's room, on a shelf, were all the stuffed animals that he'd ever gotten.
Yusei smiles as he does his homework.
"Yusei always took care of every gift that he got. Unlike Jack and Crow."
_Flashback_
Martha walks out and stands on the steps.
One of the orphans runs by and says hello to her.
Some of the boys are playing football, including Jack and Crow.
They looked to be about 6 years old.
She looks over as one of the orphan girls is holding a stuffed monkey.
Martha walks up to the little girl.
The little girl points over to the kids playing football.
Martha then looks at the game and noticed a stuffed dog sitting near the sidelines.
Crow runs up to it and wipes his forehead on it.
Martha marches over to him.
As Crow walks away, Martha pulls his ear.
"What are you doing Martha?" Crow asked.
"Jack," Martha yells.
Jack turns around and quickly runs over.
"Why did you give your Easter gift to someone else?" Martha asked.
"I don't know," Jack responded.
"You told me you wanted it," Martha said.
Jack shrugged.
"I guess I just "left" it there," he said, "And someone else took it."
Martha sighed
"And you Crow, why are you using that one as a towel?"
"All the towels are in the wash," Crow said.
"No they're not," Martha said firmly, "I made sure I washed them for after the game."
Martha let go of his ear.
Crow and Jack look up to her.
"Now why can't you take care of your stuffed animals, like Yusei."
She points to Yusei.
They look over at him.
He's sitting next to a tree and holding a stuffed bear.
He smiles as he moves it to the left and right.
He then puts it in his chest and hugs it.
He smiles happily.
Jack and Crow roll their eyes.
She takes the one Crow had.
"If you boys can't treat your gifts well or be thankful for them, then you don't deserve to have them."
She walks away.
_End Flashback_
"So Akiza, have you thought of what you wanted to get Yusei for Valentine's day?"
"I haven't thought about it," she said.
She smiles as she looks at another picture of Yusei in the scrapbook.
"But I have a good idea now."
A/N: Fast forward
It was the night before Valentines Day. Yusei and Akiza were out shopping for each other.
Leo and Luna were home and Martha was knitting in her room.
Yusei had just bought the flowers for Akiza and was coming in the door.
"Luna," he said.
Luna was sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Can I put my Valentine's gift for Akiza in your room? Is she here?"
"No. Go do it," Luna said.
She wasn't paying attention.
"Okay."
Yusei ran in and put the card, flowers, and candy on Leo's dresser.
He went back in his room.
Akiza came in and had a bag with her bear and candy inside.
She spots Leo sitting at the kitchen table, looking through his deck.
"Leo, can I put Yusei's Valentine's gifts in your room?"
"Sure, go for it," he said.
He too wasn't really listening.
She sets it down in front of Luna's dresser.
She heads back to her room.
"Leo, where did you put my colored pencils?" Luna asked.
She approaches him sitting at the table.
"I don't remember," Leo said, "It's probably in our room."
"Let's go look in our room," Luna said.
They get in and look around.
"Found it," Luna said.
It was on the floor, near her dresser.
Leo wasn't paying attention.
"Hey, what's this?" Leo asked as he saw the box of chocolate.
He saw that the plastic wrapping was taken off.
He starts to eat the chocolate.
"What's in here?" Luna asked.
She picked up the teddy bear.
"Wow! Wait a minute!"
She ran back to the closet, near the bathroom, and went into Martha's stuffed animal clothes box.
She took a little suit and top hat back to her room.
She put it on the bear and it fix it perfectly.
She started playing with the bear as Leo kept eating the chocolate.
"Leo! Luna! Time for bed," Martha called.
Leo set the chocolate back and Luna put the bear back in the bag.
The got in their pajamas, brushed their teeth and went into bed for a night's rest.
