Chapter 11 The Truth of Akiza.

Yusei was sitting beside Akiza as she was trying to work up the courage to tell Yusei the truth about her past and her parents. She soon realized that it was much harder to explain or work up the courage to than she originally thought it would be. 'Damn it! I thought I was really for this but now I feel like such a coward!' she screamed in her head as se dropped her head to her knees. Yusei could tell she was in pain and tried to hug her until she put her arms up.

"Please Yusei, don't do anything. You promised you wouldn't remember?" Yusei sighed and nodded reluctantly in agreement and sat back down. Akiza then took in a deep breath and sighed.

"Alright. It all started when I was five years old…"

Flashback:"Daddy! Can we duel again today? I really would like too since we couldn't yesterday!" A young five year old Akiza said jumping at her dad's feet.

"I'm so sorry Akiza. There is a emergency at work so I'm going to be working late tonight and I don't know if I will make it home on time. But I promise I will duel with you tomorrow ok?" He said smiling trying to hide his disappointment.

"Daddy! You always say that! You never make any time for me!" Akiza cried running upstairs to her room and slamming the door. Her father looked on and dropped his head in shame at the fact that his job was taking himself away from his only daughter.

'Akiza. I'm sorry my precious. I wish things were different. I really do.' He thought to himself. The next day they were having their promised duel. Akiza was truly happy at this moment to be able to have her dad to herself.

"Are you having fun my little rose?" He asked with a kind smile noticing that she was really into the duel. He had Robotic Knight on the field in attack mode while Akiza had just summoned her Rose Tentacles.

"Yes I am! I love that we can do this daddy." Akiza smiled as her mother walked in with some drinks and cookie on a platter.

"I'll just leave these for you to enjoy after your duel." She smile watching her family having fun together. She then heard the phone ring and went to answer it.

"Thanks Mommy!" Akiza called with her father smiling.

"So shall we continue?"

"Yes daddy! Now I will attack with my-" Her voice was interrupted by her mother returning with the phone and handing it to her dad. He listened and his face suddenly went sour

"I'm sorry dear. It seems I have an urgent meeting to go to. I will finish with you later ok?"

"No.. NO! I don't want you to GO!" She screamed in anger.

"I know and I'm truly sorry. But if I-" He was cut off by Akiza screaming.

"I attack with my Rose Tentacles!" Akiza screamed. The monster attacked with it's vines which broke through her fathers monster and smashed him into the wall behind him causing a crater inside it. As he fell to the ground Akiza became scared and frightened at what happened while her mother ran to check on her husband.

"Honey! Honey are you ok?!" Her mother called to him hoping he wasn't badly hurt. He then sat up very sore from the impact with his wife right beside him and saw Akiza standing like a statue with her monster looming over them both.

"A-Akiza?! Wh-What did u do?!" He screamed at her holding his arm which was badly hurt. Akiza still frozen couldn't answer as she didn't know herself. At that moment a mark of a dragon's claw burned into her right arm causing her to scream.

"Daddy?! What-What is happening to me?!" Akiza cried as the mark of the dragon suddenly appeared on her arm. Her father and mother looked at her in shock as they had no clue what had happened to their daughter.

"Akiza, what ARE u?!" Her father cried trying to stand up. As she tried to run up to him he jumped back away as did his wife.

"Stay back! Don't move you monster!" He screamed. Those words rang over and over in her head. This power, the mark, she really was a monster! She ran upstairs and locked herself in her room. Her father had then realized what he had said and ran after her wit his wife on her knees crying at what had just transpired.

"Akiza! I'm sorry I said that! Please let us in!" He called knocking on her door repeatedly.

"Go away! Just go away! I'm a monster aren't I?! Now just go away!" She screamed back at the top of her lungs. She then in a fit of rage grabbed her disk an summoned her Botanical Lion and made it jump through her door and had it pounce on her father. Her father was now frozen in fear as he had this real monster on top of him. His wife looked on in horror at the sight of it all that was happening around her and called to Akiza.

"Please stop this Akiza!" She begged. Hearing her mother's voice Akiza snapped out of her rage and the monster vanished as she dropped her disk to the floor and collapsed from exhaustion. Her father then went up and slowly picked her up and put her in her bed. The next day they searched for answers to why Akiza was able to do what she did and found someone who knew about others with the same power. They put Akiza into a car and drove her to a doctor wo was known for dealing with special patients wit unusual abilities.

"Daddy, where are we going?" Akiza asked still shaky from what happened last night.

"We are going to try and find out what's wrong with you. We are now heading for someone who should be able to help you get rid of what you have Akiza." He said without looking at her even once. Akiza was still quite scared and constantly rubbed her arm where the mark had appeared which was gone now.

"Daddy? I'm going to get better right?" She sobbed trying to get her father's attention. He stayed quiet with her mother sitting beside her giving her a look that said keep quiet. They arrived at a large office building with glass surrounding the whole building and quickly headed inside. They then sat down and waited for a few minutes until a man came out in a brown business suit.

"Hello there. I'm doctor Hanabishi and I will be conducting the exam today. Will you please come wit me young lady?" He asked kindly as he kneeled to her lever to ask her eye to eye.

"Um, ok." She replied shyly and still scared. Her parents watched as their daughter was taken into an exam room with confused looks on their faces.

"You think it will be alright?" His wife asked him.

"I don't know. But I do know that if whatever happens won't go away or if she can't control it then there will be no way of dealing with her." He stated bluntly. His wife then turned to him with a horrified look.

"Are you suggesting we give up our only daughter?!"

"I honestly don't know. He shook his head in anguish. I really do want to be with my little girl. But I also know that I don't want to go through that feeling ever again. If she is going to break down like that every time she gets angry then we might have no choice." He admitted bluntly. A few minutes later Akiza came out with the doctor and she sat down beside her mother.

"So what's wrong with her doctor?" Her father asked outright.

"Well it would seem that your daughter is what we call a psychic." Her parents froze after hearing the word PSYCHIC.

"What do you mean by psychic?!" Her father shot at the doctor.

"Well, it's a unique power that certain people are born with at birth. Through strong emotional shock or trauma psychic powers usually appear from those events. It would seem that your daughter is also one of the strongest I have ever seen. She has an incredible scale of psychic energy and it seems that the anger from what happened between you too is what triggered it." He explained.

"So this isn't something that can be treated?! Can't we get rid of these powers somehow?!" He almost begged the doctor.

"Well unfortunately for you, that's the bad news. There is no way to GET RID OF THEM." The parents gasped at what they had heard.

"There is no way at all?" Her mother asked calmly trying to keep everyone calm.

"Yes. Psychic powers are born from within the heart and soul. There is no real way to control or get rid of them. You just have to grow with it and hope that you will be able to either control them over time or just keep them under wraps." The parents went silent for a bit which worried Akiza.

"Mommy? Daddy? Is everything alright?"

"Let's go home Akiza." Her father said emotionlessly grabbing her arm hard.

"Ow! Daddy, your hurting me!" She cried out trying to break free.

"Thank you doctor for everything you have done." He stated before leaving the room with his wife beside him.

"After that, they kept very close watch over me and never let me duel again at home. I could tell they were still afraid of me and still thought of me as a monster. A few years later they learned about Duel academy which teaches kids how to duel and harness their skills. My father believed that this might be the key to making me normal again. I then went to Duel Academy and hoped I could learn to control my powers there. It didn't help me at all though and I even ended up hurt a few students because of an accident that occurred during a practice duel. I attacked with my Violet Witch and it brought half the wall down behind it. I was so upset that day because my mother and father were arguing about something that I couldn't make out and they told me to stay out of it. I couldn't help but feel angry and hurt and again the mark appeared and my powers went berserk. Everyone at the school then looked at me and screamed monster or witch and told me to leave. They didn't want me around anymore than my parents did and I couldn't take it any longer. I then ran home after that hoping that my parents would take me back."

"And what happened with that?"

"I got to the window and saw them inside drinking wine and laughing. I then heard them talking inside about me."

Flashback: "You know, maybe your right honey. Maybe Akiza would be better off without us around." Akiza flinched as she heard that.

"It seems like that would be the best way to deal with this. Those monster powers aren't going away and I can't handle that scared feeling every time she gets angry or sad. I have tried but I think that it's time we found something better for her. Perhaps she could stay at the dorms at the Academy?" Her father told his wife.

"That might be best. It's become too hard to have her around when she gets into a emotional state. If she can't help herself then there is no way we can keep watching over her. She is a teenager now and she now has to learn to take care of herself and take responsibility for her actions." Her mother stated sipping some wine.

"Well then I think that's that. I'll tell the Academy tomorrow and see what they can do."

"But what will Akiza do when she finds out? She might go berserk again." His wife told him bluntly.

"If that happens then it will only prove that she is too dangerous as she is to be around people unless she smartens up and learns to control herself." He stated clearly as he finished his drink.

End flashback

"I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They were having fun without me. They were HAPPY that I was gone. I was nothing to them anymore! They truly did see me as nothing but a monster all this time! They didn't care where I was or what I was doing just so long as they didn't have to worry about my powers hurting them. They thought they could just leave me at a place that wanted me no more than they did. I lost myself to my rage and summoned a monster which destroyed all the windows on the house which scared them shitless and I ran away again, but this time I ran into the city and I never looked back."

"Akiza." Yusei said looking at Akiza with sad eyes. He could see full well how hard this was on her and he could only listen to her pain. He felt very weak for not being able to see how much see really was suffering.

"After that I went to a shelter and thought about what happened to me. I thought that if I was going to be seen as a monster I would fight like one. So I put on a mask and cloak and became the Black Rose Witch. After that I duelled everyone I could find and made my name known. Then Sayer found me and showed me that I was needed and that their were others who understood and felt my pain. He told me to just let myself go and be free and just be for the Movement and in return it will always be there and take care of me. I was happy being with other that were similar to me but something was still missing from my life while I was there."

"What was it?' Yusei asked.

"I was missing the feeling of being truly loved by family. I missed the smiles of everyone looking at me with happiness and not fear. Even though I got attention at the Movement it never felt the same. But you and the twins have given that back to me. I'm so happy I met all of you, and I have you to thank for it all Yusei." She smiled at him.

"I'm just happy that you are happy. I had a tough time growing up in Satellite with all the trouble and gangs and security. It was a challenge just to stay out of trouble and live peacefully. We had it rough enough I thought, but I can tell I was spoiled compared to the life you had. I feel bad for thinking I had the bad life just cause I lived in Satellite." He said with his head down.

"Yusei. I'm not mad at you for that. You had a rough life too, that was just different from mine. You don't have to feel bad for me anymore. I will try and be the happiest I can be for u. It's time to put the past behind me and be happy with what I have in front of me. You as well as Martha and the twin all know of my powers and yet still treat me like a true family. Believe me when I say that I am truly happy right now." Yusei raised his head and smiled back at her seeing the happiness in her face made him realize that she was right.

"Ok then. If you say it like that then I believe you Akiza. If you say your happy then that's all I need know for me to be happy as well."

"Thanks Yusei." She leaned in and kissed him again. He returned her kiss and softly hugged her as he let her fall on top of him. She quickly realized what position she was in and jumped off him in a panic. Yusei was stunned by her sudden reaction and wasn't sure as to why she jumped like that.

"What's wrong?" Yusei asked sitting up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take the initiative. I just went with the mood and I didn't realize what I had done." She said all frantic while blushing. He soon realized what she meant and chuckled slightly and then looked at her directly

"Actually Akiza…to be honest…I was enjoying that." He blushed knowing what he just told her.

"Re-really?" Akiza asked shocked.

"Yes. I don't care if your on top of me like that Akiza. I admit that I suck at reading emotions as well as understanding women and relationships. But being together with you has already taught me more than I ever could have learned on my own. I truly am happy to be alone with you and also happy that you trust me enough to tell me something that I can tell really hurt you to remember. I promise you that I will tell you all about my life in the Satellite. I-" His words were cut off by Akiza's finger pressing his lips and then covering his with hers. Her worries and cares flushed away and all she cared about was being with Yusei at this moment. Nothing else mattered as Yusei then grabbed Akiza arm and pulled her back on top of him with a smile that showed he wasn't angry that she cut him off. Akiza smiled and looked right at him slyly.

"Don't you think that your having a little TOO much fun?" Akiza joked touching his nose with her finger.

"Nope. I just want to make sure you know that I am happy just being here with u. It doesn't matter who is on top so long as we don't get ahead of ourselves." He winked.

"Oh my. Yusei is dirty." She sang jokingly.

"Look who's talking, little lady You're the one on top of me." He joked back with a smirk.

"And just who are you calling little?" She pouted.

"You. You got a problem with that?"

"Maybe. I know for a fact though that you aren't referring to these?" She said pointing to her breasts. Yusei blushed and tried to keep his eyes away from her chest. Akiza noticed Yusei turn away and decided to have a little fun. She then put her hand under her breast and began to bounce them up and down gently and just enough to get Yusei's attention. His face flushed which Akiza noticed again and laughed in her head. 'I can't believe I'm doing this to Yusei. But something inside of my heart is telling me not to stop and just go with it.' Akiza thought as she pretended to yawn and stretch which made her breasts bounce slightly again and gave Yusei a full show. Yusei was at a loss for words at Akiza's new found courage and seductiveness and wanted to make sure that she knew he wasn't in for the intimacy.

"Akiza, you know I like u for who you are, not for what you look like or what you have." He pointed out. She smiled and put her hand on his cheek. She gave it a small kiss and moved closer to his ear.

"I know Yusei. That's one of many reasons I care so much about u. I guess being with you just gives me the courage to be more spontaneous with myself and I know that I won't be doing this for just anyone." She stated as she bent down and started kissing him again. They kissed each other much more passionately than last time as they moved their hands up and down each other's bodies while they started fighting for dominance over each other's mouths. Yusei decided to let Akiza gain entry first as she circled her tongue around his mouth which made Yusei shudder at the feeling as he felt it through his entire body. They continued the process for a few minutes until Akiza broke it off and got close to his ear.

"Can I stay the night?" She whispered sexually. Yusei froze at her words as they entered his head. Did she know what she was asking. The last he wanted was for them to get ahead of themselves an do something stupid..

"Umm." Yusei tried to figure out what to say.

"Just kidding. I know you aren't that type of guy Yusei. And eve if I did, Martha wouldn't be too happy with us." She smiled to him.

"Yeah that's true. The other thing is you wouldn't really have a place to sleep cause I have no spare bed or mattress. I just have my pull out couch bed that I use."

"Oh well. Guess you will just have to get one if you want me over here more often." She teased him.

"I might just take u up on that. But maybe I should get you home now." Yusei said seeing that it was already getting dark outside as the duels they had and Akiza's story made the day pas by quickly.

"Wow how time flies when your having fun. I almost don't want it to end." Akiza said not realizing how late it was.

"Indeed. I agree with you fully. Between the duels with the twins and the story you told me and everything else, it just flew right by is seems." Yusei explained.

"To be honest, I really don't want to go. I really do want to stay here close to u. But I know I would just be a bother to u." Akiza sighed looking down at her feet. Yusei then gave a serious look and raised her head

"You could never be a bother to me Akiza. I am always happy to have you around. I'm glad I got to know more about you today and I thank u for telling me about your past even though it must have been tough on u." Akiza's heart started to beat rapidly as she couldn't hide her emotions anymore se had to tell Yusei the truth that she had been feeling since their date. It was now or never for her as she confessed to him.

"Yusei, I will always be truthful with u and I don't want to hide anything from u. I know that this is going to sound stupid but I want you to know that… I love u Yusei." She blushed. Yusei turned crimson at those words, but quickly broke from the trance to give Akiza a true answer.

"Akiza. I have never known love outside of Martha before in my life. But after hanging and being wit you like this, I think I can understand it much better. The truth for me is that… I love u too Akiza." Akiza smiled more brightly than ever before at hearing that Yusei felt the same way about her. She now knew that she too was truly for who she was and not just for her powers. They leaned in and kissed each other and once again Akiza fell onto Yusei on the couch. This time though there was no pause in what they as she quickly entered his mouth with her tongue and moved in all over the inside of Yusei's mouth. Akiza moaned at the feeling of playing with Yusei. She couldn't be happier doing this with anyone else she thought.. Yusei quickly then moved his mouth over to Akiza's ear and started to kiss and bite at it making Akiza moan out loud.

"Yu-Yusei… I thought … you were taking me home." She managed to speak out over her moaning.

"Did you want me to stop and take you home?" He looked at her.

"I just don't want to do anything we would both regret." Yusei was disappointed and relieved at the same time. Relieved that Akiza thought along the same lines as he did, but disappointed that he couldn't continue wit his new girlfriend.

"Ok then. Let's get you back to Martha's." He told her pushing her off him and heading to the door. As they got outside and on the duel runner Akiza couldn't help but blush over what just happened a few seconds ago. She couldn't believe how bold she was whenever she and Yusei were alone. As if she couldn't control herself in a different way then her powers. They drove off and ended up in front of Martha's house a few minutes later.

"Thanks for tonight Yusei. I am truly happy that I could tell you everything." Akiza smiled at him.

"Your welcome. I'm also happy that you felt comfortable doing that for me as well. Good night Aki. He teased her with a new name. Akiza blushed at her pet name and decided to play along.

"Good night my prince." She walked up and kissed him and he replied with another one to her. Little did they know that Martha saw everything through the window. 'Oh my. It seems they did have fun after all. I wonder just how much FUN they had.' She wondered as she aw Yusei drive away. As Yusei drove off he thought about what they had done and couldn't help but wonder how his friends would react to his new relationship with Akiza.' I wonder how I'm going to tell the guys about this without turning it into front page news. Jack may or may not care at all. I'm not sure about him but I know Crow will NEVER leave me alone about it especially if he learned what transpired today.' He then made it back to his house and was about to plop on he couch when his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Yusei. It's been awhile."

"Hey Blister. How was your trip?" He asked sitting down.

"It was eventful. I will tell you about it later but I actually called because I have a job for you."

"Oh really? Where is it?"

"It's for a friend for mine who works at a bar called Bootleg. It seem one of the pipes downstairs is acting up as well as the heating duct need checking out as well."

"Sure thing. I know where it is and I can check it out. I'll be happy to do so."

"Great. Thanks a million Yusei. Sorry about this."

"Sorry about what?" Yusei asked confused.

"I just get back into town and already giving you work without even checking on you first."

"Oh no worries there. I'm used to it." He laughed.

"Well that's good to know." Blister snickered over the line making Yusei realize what he had just said.

"Anyway. Just tell them that I will be there in a bit."

"Ok. Later Yusei." Blister said as he hanged up. 'So much for getting some rest in.' Yusei sighed before grabbing his tools and heading out. Across town Jack Atlas was duelling in another competition. He was duelling a up and coming super duelist who had never lost in an official match and decided to test his skills. Jack had five speed counters and Dark resonator on his field plus one face down and 400 life points while his opponent had Shadow Ghoul out and two face downs out with 2000 life points.

"You better give up KING! You will never beat me!" The young duelist bragged.

"So naïve to think a duel is over until one reaches zero! I draw! Jack/5 Andrew/2. I activate my face down trap: Xien Zen HU! Now both of your face downs are sealed!"

"Damn it! You will pay for that Jack ASS!" Andrew cussed which made Jack furious.

"No one calls me that! I play the Speed Spell: Over Boost! Now my speed counter rise by six! Jack:6-12. Now I play Speed World 2's effect by removing four speed counters you take 800 points of damage for every speed spell in my hand. I reveal my Fissure speed spell which means you take 800 damage. A flash hits Andrew's duel runner causing it to shake violently.

"Blast it!"

"And guess what little man…I do it again twice over! Jack 12-0

"What?! That's not FAAIIRRR!" Andrew screamed as two more beams of light hit his runner causing him to lose control and crash into a guard railing.

Andrew: 2000-0

"See little man. Let me give you some royal advice. It's not the monsters or cards alone that win the duel. It's the ability to read and see everything that you both have and take every option into consideration. You focused so much on me you forgot about speed world 2."

"I was careless." Andrew grunted trying to get up from the wreckage.

"And now you can little with that shame." Jack stated before driving off. As he drove off out of the arena to avoid the fan girls and paparazzi he thought about the one duelist who truly understood him and the way of duelling. 'Yusei Fudo. You and I will soon finish what we started. Trust me on that one my good friend.' He thought to himself driving home.

A/n: Seems Yusei and Akiza have finally broken the barriers around them and it seems Jack is gunning for a duel with Yusei. What's Martha going to say about what she saw between The two new lovers outside. I also hope that no one is offended that I made Akiza so forward so quickly. To find out what happens… R&R :P
