Me: The chapter itself is short because I'm responding to some reviews at the bottom.
*Star*
I tried to keep as still as possible as I heard Yusei speaking to someone. I opened my eyelids lightly to see a strange creature that was almost transparent in the room. Whatever it was contained a silver and light purple color all around it. It's eyes were like bolts and the cannon-like hands had hands with brass knuckles. A torn white scarf was wrapped around it's neck, giving it a warrior fell. No matter how strange the creature was, I knew that it meant us no harm. In fact, it was more like it was protecting us. I smiled a bit and then closed my eyes once more, hoping Yusei hadn't noticed that I woke up.
'You should get some rest Yusei. You need and deserve it. I am amazed at how much that girl can sleep.' I heard the creature say. Yusei chuckled in response, I could feel his chest move as he did. I felt a bit jittery as he laughed. A warm feeling started erupting from my chest but before I knew it, it was gone. I wanted to hear Yusei laugh again, I wanted to feel that warmth again.
I felt Yusei shift me so that I was lying in his arms more comfortably. It surprised me at how gentle he was with moving me. Why was he being so careful? We were on a bed so it wasn't like I would get hurt. As I was resting on his arm, he placed his hand on the back of my head, pulling me closer. I could hear his heartbeat . . . . Thump. Thump. Thump. It was steady, calm. It reminded me of how Yusei acted. Trying to be the mature one so that things didn't get out of hand.
His fingers made their way through my hair, as he brushed out any knots that had formed while I was asleep. I knew Aki-nee-chan had brushed it out earlier, but that was a different feeling than what I was feeling now. Before, it felt like a chore, like it had to be done. (Which it really did need to be done, according to Aki-nee-chan) Now, it felt soothing, strong yet gentle. I wanted Yusei to brush my hair from now on, but I knew I could never ask him. It was too selfish.
I felt his breath in my ear and I suppressed the urge to shiver. The next thing I felt were strong, caring, yet passionate lips on my forehead. My heart raced with every second that they were in contact. Yusei? I geez, I don't know what to do! I was about to panic, but then he released them. Disappointment filled me. I wanted him to kiss me again.
He pulled me even closer and brought his lips to my ear. Before I could even comprehend what he was going to do I heard him whisper to me. For a second I thought that he knew I was awake, but that way he said it didn't seem like it. "I love you, Star." I felt my heart leap. He loved me? What is love? I asked myself. I knew what it was, but my memory wouldn't give me any words to describe it. Then that familiar voice came to my head again. 'Love is where you wish to be with someone for eternity. You are happy as long as they are happy. But such a strong feeling can also cause pain, remember that.'
I felt that this was a time, if any, to open my eyes. I knew that Yusei couldn't see them because my head was now buried within his chest. "Yusei . . ." I whispered, hoping that he would hear me. I felt him shift as he pulled away a bit to look down at me. I looked up at his sapphire eyes, trying to interpret what they were trying to tell me. A simple smile, faint but existent, was playing on his lips.
"You Ok?" he asked, obviously assuming that I had just woken up. I searched his face, looking for the words. I nodded before I asked him, "Is it alright?" The smiled twisted until it reached a frown. It wasn't one of anger or sadness, just confusion. "Is what alright?" He was now stroking my hair again, I felt him twist a strand with his finger and let it go. "Can I love you too?" His eyes widened a bit as his hand stopped moving. A light was shining in his sapphire color, while his raven eyebrows loosened against his gold-streaked hair.
There was no movement coming from either of us. Yusei blinked once before finally letting go of the breath he was holding onto.
He started to sit up, but not to leave. Instead he shifted so that I was underneath him on the bed. His elbow was resting right next to me as he other hand was placed on my cheek. I felt my heart pounding in my ears as he came closer and placed his lips on mine.
They were rough but contained a sweet flavor. I was suddenly aware of how strong he actually was as he moves his hand from my cheek and into my hand. The kiss deepened and we entwined our fingers. His hands were warm, my own skin seemed to burn at the touch of his. He stretched his elbow out so that he was now balancing himself on the top of the bed. He was being so careful so that he wouldn't crush me underneath his weight.
I broke the kiss so that I could wrap my free arm around his waist and pull him closer. He complied immediately as he went in to kiss my neck and the bottom of my chin. The sweetness of his lips made their way to mine, and pretty soon I felt his tongue trace them. I opened my mouth in surprise at the sudden gesture and he took the opportunity to slip inside my mouth. The contact was unbelievable as he took complete dominance.
When the kiss was broken, I noticed how Yusei was panting. Our fingers broke apart and he suddenly stopped as I looked at him in confusion. "I don't know . . .if I can control myself. I might hurt you." his voice sounded broken, almost as if he was scared of himself. I placed my hand on his cheek and nudged it up a bit so that his eyes were fully on me. I reached in for my own kiss, which seemed to surprise him to no end. "Alright." I said after I broke free and smiled at him. "Let's go get breakfast then." was all I said as I saw the grateful look in his eyes.
I turned over so that he may get up and help me out. When I say, 'help me out', I mean he, 'carried me off the bed'. He set me down, but his arm was still snaked possessively around my waist. I kissed his cheek as a thank you before whispering, "I love you, Yusei." He turned around and gave me a full-on kiss before answering. "I love you too."
"Way to go, girl! I love this chapter! :DKeep it up with your story! ^_^" --- Hitsuji87
Me: I love it when people give me emotional support! *Sniffle* My friends are no help with that . . . .
Friend: HEY!
"Yay! You updated! Lol, you make Yusei have so much sexual frustation! XD you must like having to do that. Anywayz update soon." --- GaarazMyBoyzz
Me: Feh, I'll try but I really prefer responding to reviews. It's fun.
Friend: Get on with it.
Me: As for Yusei's sexual needs . . . Yes I thoroughly enjoy torturing him whenever he's with Star. It's just that much more enjoyable to see him squirm. *Evil Laugh*
Friend: Um, I think they want a real reason . . .
Me: OH! Um, right. Well, I think any guy with a healthy libido wouldn't be frustrated by the thought of not being able to touch a hot chick that is sleeping in their arms. With nothing but a shirt on. (Remember, no underwear.)
Yusei: Well, this explains my attraction to her . . .
Me: Actually, no. There is a COMPLETELY different reason as to why you love her at practically first sight.
Yusei: . . . .I hate you
"Realky good story! and 4kids is evil deleting the best scenes." --- Grey Vs Ale
Me: THANK YOU! Let us make an army together where 4kids will be destroyed!
Friend: But if there wasn't any 4kids, you wouldn't have any sources to have easier spelling names.
Me: Don't just reveal my secret as to why I don't use the Japanese names.
Friend: Too late now . . . .
"Poor Yusei no Stardust dragon and no duel runner. I hope he can survive well he didn't always have Stardust so he'll be ok. Maybe get a new pair of cards for him and Star." --- Grey Vs Ale
Me: Yeah, I know I kinda took away Yusei's ace card, but I intend to give him something even better. OK, maybe it won't be as good as the love life he was in desperate need of but something.
Friend: *Humming*
"YAY! You updated! Here's a cupcake of cupcakey goodness! Lol, and you made it longer! That earns you a cookie and all it's deliciousness! Hope you update soon! It's kool, my parents call me vampire cuz my sleeping habits. At least they don't call your room The BatCave. Cuz they do to me. Lol! =D" --- GaarazMyBoyzz
Friend: Aren't you going to respond?
Me: Can't *Om nom nom* Eating *nom nom*
Friend: Ug, let's just say that she's nocturnal and that her parents ignore her enough to even care about what she normally does.
Me: HEY!
"She's so cute...Lol. =D Update soon!" --- GaarazMyBoyzz
Me: Oh, yes. I intended her to be that way. I know Stardust Dragon is supposed to be all elegant and strong and stuff, but I needed a GIRL!
Friend: Dude . . .calm down.!
Me: *breaths in* Ok, I'm cool. Anyway, Star's a really complex character, different from my usual OC's. (normally they are headstrong, simple idiots who have amazing strokes of genius whenever they're in difficult situations)
Friends: You know, your OC's kind of remind me of you, besides Star.
Me: *twitch* One more review.
"Wow, two more chapters! *___* God, I'm in love with your story! I think your story is the first and only now uptil now, that has the pairing YuseixOC and is rated as M... I'm sure of it, because I looked over the pages and saw nothing compared to YuseixOC which was rated as M...Anyway... try to wite your chapters longer than usual and keep your good work! Can't wait for the next chapter(s)! :D" --- Hitsuji87
Me: Actually, I never really thought that I would get this far into this FanFic.
Friend: Explain.
Me: Well, my friend here, *Points to shadow-faced friend* actually told me how good Yu-Gi-Oh was when the scenes weren't cut. By that point I had just been watching the abridged version, and was not currently watching any other animes, so I decided to give it a try.
Friend: Aren't I the best?
Me: I soon finished the original Yu-Gi-Oh and then GX, but when I came to 5d's I was confused as to how they were displaying the Signers. I thought it was little unbalanced for there to be three Signer males and only two Signer females. So I evened it out. Since Yusei's dragon doesn't really have a definite gender like the other four, (I mean c'mon) I decided to make a female Stardust Dragon. Now it's more like this.
Jack- male dragon
Crow- male dragon
Akiza- female dragon
Luna- female dragon
Yusei- female dragon
I thought this made it a little more fair.
Friend: I'm amazed that you came up with that.
Me: I know right? But what started out as an idea, came out as a romance, and eventually an actual plot to Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds. As for the maturity . . . .
Friend: She's a pervert . . .
Me: Yes I'm a per- WAIT WHAT? No I'm not!
Friend: Could've fooled me . . .
Me: ANYWAY! I found it very hard to believe that an eighteen-year-old boy would have NO sexual desires what-so-ever, and I didn't want to make Yusei OOC by making him gay. No offense, it's not like I don't like Yaoi or anything.
Friend: Wow that was a long speech.
Me: Feh, could've been worse.
