A/N: Chapter 72!
A/N: I'll try to end this story at Chapter 75, but no guarantees.
However, it will require some longer Chapters, since I want to use a few fan ideas too.
The fan ideas used in this Chapter are from LCD and BloodyImmortalOfDarkness.
Thanks!
Akiza and Yusei got up bright and early for their interview.
They were helping the other get ready, with their suit and dress, when Martha got up.
"Wow! You two are up early."
"Well, the interviews are at 10," Yusei noted.
"Well, good luck to you two," Martha replied.
They smiled.
When they left about 20 minutes early, it took them about 10 minutes to get tho the store.
It was a big retailer, that had almost everything you needed.
Akiza and Yusei went to the bench that Akiza was told to go to, when she was called.
They sat there, until a tall, husky man, with shaven (but noticeable) facial hair approached them.
"Hi I'm Jake," he said, "I'll be interviewing the young lady today."
Akiza smiled and got up.
Yusei watched her follow him, until a young girl showed up.
She had long brown hair and glasses.
"I'm Laura and I'll be interviewing you today."
Yusei got up and followed her.
He went into a large, white room, with a desk and computer.
Laura asked him some basic questions, including his mark.
She double checked and found Yusei to be telling the truth.
She then asked him some different questions like:
"How well do you work in groups?"
"What are some of your flaws?"
etc.
Yusei answered them and she left.
Another girl, named Barb, came in, and asked him some more questions.
When he was done, she then handed him a job form.
Yusei was stunned that he had gotten it so fast.
He was then instructed to take a urine sample at a nearby location, within the next few days.
Yusei was also informed on orientation and when it would be.
When they were done, he headed for that same bench as before.
Akiza still wasn't there.
After 10 more minutes, she finally came out.
She was carrying a paper similar to Yusei's.
"You got one too?" she asked.
He nodded.
"What took you so long?" he asked.
"Oh that Jake seems so nice," Akiza said.
Yusei smiled.
"Well, should we head to mall to celebrate?" he asked, "It would help us get some food for the urine sample."
Akiza nodded and they headed for the car.
Yusei drove them to the mall and they headed for the food court.
Akiza and Yusei decided on a fast-food restaurant.
They both ordered.
"I'll go find us a table," Akiza said.
"Great. I'll wait here for the food," Yusei said.
Akiza departed and found a table.
A man approached her.
"Akiza?" he asked.
Akiza turned.
It was a man from high school, but she didn't remember his name.
"You," she said awkwardly.
"Yeah. So, what have you been up to?" he asked.
Yusei continued to wait and finally got the food.
When he turned around, he saw the kid was talking to Akiza.
He had brown hair and was of medium build.
Yusei saw there were some plants near where Akiza was sitting.
He went over and sat down near them.
He then listened to their conversation.
"I just got a job," Akiza said.
"Well, that's great."
They pause.
"So...you wanna head on a date?"
Yusei quickly gets up.
"I'm back," he said.
"Oh hey Yusei," the kid said.
Yusei forcefully smiled at him.
"Well...we're ready to eat," Yusei said in sort of a forceful tone.
"Okay. See you later."
The kid walked away.
Akiza smiled.
"So who was that?" Yusei asked as he set the tray down.
"Oh, some kid from high school."
"Do you know his name?" Yusei asked.
"No," Akiza said, "I honestly don't know."
Yusei breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is it Yusei?" Akiza asked.
Yusei almost jumped.
"Uh...I'm just so happy that...it's been a long time since I had a hamburger?"
Yusei quickly opened the wrapper and bit into his hamburger.
Akiza giggled.
When they finished, they headed for the doctor's office for the urine sample.
It was a standard for all of the employees.
Akiza kept wiggling in the car.
"You know, you're kind of cute when you wiggle like that," Yusei noted.
Akiza glared at him.
"Be quiet Yusei! I have to do a #2."
"Well, then you can be first," Yusei said.
They got to the location and went to the office.
Akiza went into the bathroom for her drug test and then Yusei.
When Yusei came out, Akiza was talking to the man at the desk.
Akiza and him laughed at something.
"Okay, lets go," Yusei said, again, forcefully.
"All right," Akiza said.
They left and got in the car.
As they headed home, Akiza looked at Yusei.
He had a firm look on his face.
"Yusei, you seem upset. What's wrong?"
Yusei grumbled.
"Tell me," Akiza said, "I want to help you."
Yusei sighed.
"I just...don't like other guys hitting on you. It makes me nervous."
"Why would it..."
Akiza paused.
"Are you jealous?"
Yusei stayed silent and bit his lip.
"You're jealous! You don't like that I'm such a hot commodity. I'm a man magnet."
Yusei sighed.
"Yes. You do attract a lot of attention. However, you are really attractive."
Akiza blushed as Yusei pulled up to the driveway.
"So, I worry that some other guy might be better than me. He'll take you away from me."
Akiza gasped.
"That's not true."
Yusei got of the car and Akiza ran over to him.
She wrapped her arms tightly around his upper chest.
"I don't want to leave you Yusei. I love you."
Yusei stayed silent.
"No matter who talks to me or approaches me, no one can ever replace you."
Yusei smiled and turned around.
Akiza leaned into his chest.
"Don't leave me."
Yusei put his arms around her as she started to cry.
He let her cry, until she was finished.
"Don't worry Akiza. I won't leave you," he said gently.
Akiza smiled and looked up.
"Thank you Yusei."
They smiled.
A few days later, Akiza and Yusei had their orientation.
It was a few hours until they got to go home.
The following day, Akiza and Yusei got ready for work.
"Wow. You guys look really cool," Leo said.
"If we shop there, we'll be sure to stop in one of your lanes," Luna said.
"Thanks," Akiza said.
Yusei came over to her.
"Should we go?" he asked.
Akiza nodded.
"Have a good day," Martha said.
The twins waved to them and Akiza and Yusei waved back.
They got in the car and headed to the store.
When they got there, one of the cashiers came over and helped them learn the ropes.
After they tried it a few times, at a empty lane, the cashier went back to work.
They were then handed a book and told to study it.
Akiza tried to do it once on her own.
"I can't get the items through fast enough," Akiza said.
"Don't worry. You'll get the hang of it," Yusei said.
He stepped up and few of the items ran twice.
"I keep forgetting to void the items that scan twice," he said.
"You'll get the hang of it," Akiza reminded him.
He smiled.
Akiza and Yusei would've given each other a kiss.
However, they weren't allowed to show affection to other employees, while they were on the clock.
So, instead, they blew one another a kiss.
"How is it going?" Jake asked as he approached them.
"Good," they lied.
"Well, lets try it out for real," he said.
Akiza and Yusei looked at one another.
They both were nervous.
Jake made sure to put them with some of the more experienced workers.
They stayed with them and they slowly got the hang of it.
In another area of the store...
Akiza's father was walking around.
He carried a list in his hands.
"I think I got everything," he thought.
He looked at his watch.
"I guess I 'd better check out."
As he walked down the lanes, he saw someone that spotted his eyes.
"Wait...that can't be."
He got in line.
By now, the experienced cashiers had moved to other lanes, to help with the rush.
Akiza and Yusei were next to one another's lane and were on their own.
"I'm finally getting the hang of this," Akiza thought.
"Thanks and have a good day," Akiza said to a customer.
She looked at the clock on the computer.
"All right! Almost time to go!"
She turned off her lane light.
She rang the next person up, without looking down the lane at who was left.
She rang them up and thanked them
"Do you want paper or plastic," she asked while checking that she had enough for her last order.
"Whatever you want," a voice said.
Akiza looked up.
"Dad?" she asked in surprise tone.
A/N: Thanks again to LCD and BloodyImmortalOfDarkness!
I'll try to make this finish at 75, but no guarantees.
