Chapter 55!
A/N: This should be the last part of the, um, "arc" so to speak.
Akiza turned to her father.
"Dad! Why do you have to keep questioning Yusei?" she screamed.
"Akiza," he said, "Your mother and I are just looking out for you."
Akiza took a deep breath.
"It's okay," Yusei said.
Akiza turned to look up at him.
"I know Martha would do the same thing."
"She would?" Akiza asked.
He nods.
"To answer your question senator, I do think she's pretty. Everything about her is beautiful, including her heart."
Akiza was embarrassed.
"Akiza. I have always cared about you. Even when I first met you, you were a girl with no place else to go. I was so happy that Martha had found you. You cared so much about helping the twins find a home, so that they could be safe."
"Twins?" Akiza's mother asked.
"They're our friends," Yusei informed them, "You seem to always care about me too. You give me a hug everyday. I never had someone do that before."
Yusei leaned over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"You are beautiful. You have a great personality. I love both about you. No matter what though, I care about you. I want you to be happy. I don't want you to be in pain."
Akiza smiled.
"Your smile is so beautiful. It shows your beauty and personality."
Akiza buried her face into his muscular chest.
"Thank you Yusei," she said.
She started to cry.
Akiza's mother and father smiled at one another.
"Although, there is one thing I must ask," Akiza asked as she turned to them.
Her parents suddenly got a nervous face.
"Why did you kick me out?"
Seiko sighed.
"Well, it was a long day," he said.
_Flashback_
Akiza's father came home from a long day at the senate.
"How was your day?" his wife asked.
"Terrible," he said, "We had to ask question to this guy who's clearly been ripping big companies and people off. However, he wouldn't ever admit to doing it. It's so frustrating."
"I know sweetheart," Setuko said, "But you were elected to do this job."
"I know," he replied, "But I just wish that the people we question would admit that what they did was wrong."
They paused and heard Akiza laughing upstairs.
"So, is dinner all set?" Hideo asked.
"Yes," she replied, "Akiza and I already ate."
They headed for the dinner table.
As Hideo ate, Setuko and him talked.
"What's Akiza been up too?" he asked.
"Oh, just doing her homework, on the computer, and I'm not sure what she's all laughing about."
Upstairs, Akiza sat in one of the living rooms.
It was big and had nice lamps, pictures, and a TV.
Akiza was playing with her deck.
She usually did this when she got bored.
She would summon out some of her weaker monsters and watch them fly around.
It would always scare her parents and, if they ever noticed her doing it, she was ordered to stop immediately.
She laughed as the monster she just played flew around the room.
It was Witch of the Black Rose.
Downstairs, Akiza's father and mother were curious what was going on.
"Lets go upstairs and see what's going on," Hedio said.
As Akiza was about to call Witch of the Black Rose back, it accidentally bumped a lamp.
It feel over and broke.
"Oh no," Akiza said.
She summoned the monster back to it's card form.
As her Mom and Dad reached the room, Akiza was scrambling, trying to find out what to do.
By the time she had found a broom and scooper, her parents had opened the door.
"What happened here?" her father asked.
"I was just playing with my duel monsters and one of them..."
"You playing with a duel monster?" the senator replied.
"How do we know you might not being using them to hurt us?" her mother asked.
"Listen. I can explain," Akiza pleaded.
"Oh you can explain all right. Explain how you planning to hurt us," her father said.
The stress at work and the distance from his daughter finally made him boil over.
"Get out! Get your things and leave," her father yelled shouted.
"You're scaring us, so leave us alone," her mother screamed added.
Akiza quickly grabbed as many things as she could.
"Get out of here you witch," he father yelled once more.
_End Flashback_
"So, I didn't do it, because I hated you. I did it, because of all the stress I was in," Akiza's father finished.
"So that's it? I'm just suppose to forgive and forget that this never happened?" Akiza asked.
Her father and mother didn't know what else to say.
Akiza took her crutches and went over to them.
She took the diary and went out.
Yusei followed her.
As they walked out, Yusei and Akiza were quiet.
When they got to Yusei's duel runner, they realized that Akiza couldn't ride on the back.
"Should I call Martha?" Yusei asked.
Akiza nodded.
Yusei went inside and Akiza sat on a nearby bench.
When Yusei was done calling, he went back, and sat on the bench next to her.
They were silent for a few minutes.
Finally, Akiza spoke up.
"Yusei, why are you so modest about how strong you are?" she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, like today for instance. You tried to make it sound as if you didn't have any muscular strength, when my father noted that you were stronger than me."
"Well, Jack and Crow are stronger," he mumbled.
"See! Right there! Take your jacket off!"
He did as he was told.
Akiza gripped onto his left arm.
Yusei noticed Martha's car coming up the street, but still had most of his attention on Akiza.
"Look at these muscles. You're my strong, muscular hero!"
Yusei blushed as the car pulled.
"Well, I guess I do have some strength," he admitted.
Akiza and him smiled as the car door opened.
Akiza was still hanging on Yusei's arm.
"Akiza! Will you stop hanging on Yusei's arm all the time?" Leo asked, "Jeesh! He's not a life preserver."
"Leo," Luna scolded him as they walked up to them.
"What? We all know that Yusei's strong and has big muscles," he replied.
Yusei blushed and Akiza giggled.
"What happened Akiza?" Luna asked.
"Cool! A cast! Can I draw on it?" Leo asked as he got up close and looked at it.
"I feel on the sidewalk," Akiza said, "And not right now Leo."
"Aww," he replied.
"How long on recovery?" Martha asked.
"About 8 weeks," she said.
"Well, I'll make sure that you get plenty of rest," Martha said.
"What's with the pink book?" Leo asked.
Her diary was sitting in her lap.
"Oh nothing," she said.
"Can I read it?" Leo asked excitedly.
"No," Akiza said firmly, "It's private."
"Well, now that we know what happened," Martha interrupted them, "Lets get you in the car. Yusei can ride home on his runner."
They all helped Akiza get into the back seat.
Leo sat in the front and Akiza and Luna sat in the back.
They drove away as Yusei waved good-bye.
As Yusei got his helmet on, he saw Akiza's parents come out of the hospital.
He started his runner, and took off.
"So, what did you you think of Yusei?" Akiza's mother asked.
"I think he's perfect for her," Akiza's father replied.
His wife smiled.
"Me too."
They paused for a moment and looked down the street.
"Now, the only thing we have to do, is convince Akiza to forgive us for what we did," the senator said.
A/N: Thanks for reading!
Akiza's parents won't come back for a couple chapters or so. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up.
I apologize if anyone's upset!
