Another major YuseiXakiza chapter but the next chapter I already have started and it will feature a duel with Yusei and Jack so no worries. J

Chapter 15 The Return Date

I have noticed that there was no winter in the series so I won't be putting any in as well. It will just make it easier that way.

Two months later

The spring had gone quickly since the night Martha was sick. Yusei and Akiza hadn't seen much of each other since Yusei had been busy with helping Blister with a lot more jobs around the city lately since the weather was getting warmer out. They tried to see each other as often as they could with the little time they had which only allowed them quick dinner dates and stop bys at each others homes. This week they were apart the whole time since Yusei went with Crow to visit a friend in another city which was a good distance away from New Domino.

A week earlier: Akiza and Yusei were currently at Yusei's place having dinner together for the first real time since the night Yusei made Akiza dance for him. With everything Yusei had been doing for Blister he had made sure to make this night happen with Akiza since he knew that he was going to have to bring up the real big news.

"Is something wrong Yusei? Akiza looked at him. You seem to be zoning out a lot today. Are you ok?" She asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just disappointed that we haven't been able to do this together as much as we have both wanted." He sighed sadly as he was enjoying the stew that Akiza had prepared for them both.

"It's not something that you could help though Yusei. You can't just abandon your friend Blister when he needs you so I understand that you have to take some time for him." Akiza consoled him trying not to let it ruin the night.

"Yeah, your right Akiza. I should be happy with what I can do with you right now. He smiled back which made her feel relaxed inside at seeing him happy. So have you made any new friends lately at all?"

"That's a rather random question to bring up." Akiza inquired.

"I don't mean anything bad, I'm just curious since you haven't really talked to me about anything you have done recently. It's always about Martha, me or the twins. So I was curious and thought I would ask." He explained sincerely finishing his stew.

"I just don't know about others Yusei. Many people still remember me as a dangerous witch and duelist so it's hard for me to really go out and find anyone. When ever I go out with Martha or by myself I still to this day hear the people whispering and talking about me behind my back. I just wouldn't know who to trust if I went up to them and asked them to be friends." Akiza sadly explained making Yusei feel bad for ruining the mood again. 'Damn it! I should have just left that where it had ended in the first place!' He cursed himself.

"Sorry about being so nosey about it. I guess my curiosity got the better of me." He apologized sadly.

"It's no problem Yusei. I am sure that in time I will find myself a real life with family and friends outside you and Martha and Leo and Luna." She smiled a honest smile telling Yusei that she was being strong.

"That's great to hear Akiza. I still though can't get over how well you made that stew. It was almost just as good as Martha's. He sighed rubbing his stomach.

"ALMOST?" She spat playfully at him

"Yes. Almost." He playfully shot back.

"Well fine then. Akiza turned away from Yusei smiling. Then I won't make dinner for you again. Get your beloved MARTHA to do it." She teased.

"Hey now, don't be jealous my little rose. I did say after all that is was good didn't I?" He asked holding her from behind.

"Mm-hmm. Well if you REALLY want to make me happy then I have a request." She turned to him with a puppy dog look which made Yusei's heart beat nervously.

"Ok. He said all shaky. What is this request?"

"Can we go out somewhere? Not to a place in the city though. There is a place I want you to see with me outside the city limits if that's ok?" Yusei smiled at hearing her asking him out like this and was also quite curious as to where she wanted to take him. 'I wonder how Akiza would know about places outside the city when she herself has told me that she never went outside the city after she joined that Movement. Oh well, let's check it out.' He thought happily knowing that it would keep Akiza smiling.

"Sure thing. Let me get ready and we can leave as soon as possible alright?" Akiza was really happy at the fact that Yusei was so understanding when she would ask him for favours especially when he had no idea what she was going to ask him. 'I really hope you like where I'm going to be showing you Yusei. It is a great place and one of my very few happy memorable places.' They soon left on his runner as he reached the outskirts and drove for a few minutes until Akiza pointed him to a huge park by a huge hill that had a bench and a huge tree on top of it. He then parked the runner in the park area and looked around.

"Is this the place Akiza?" He asked her as he continued to look around as if he was expecting something to happen.

"Yes, I came here with my mother and father when I was very little. They would play with me here because it was quiet and away from the city. This is one place I have never forgotten since it is one of the only places I was truly with my family." She explained happily which somewhat surprised Yusei. He had no idea this place was that important to her and was now even happier that Akiza was wanting to share such a strong memory with him.

"Thank you for showing me this Akiza. I really do think this place is beautiful and your right that it's quiet out here." He noticed as he couldn't hear anything from the city.

"Yep, so can we go and sit on the bench on that hill up there? She asked slyly. I would like to make this a truly memorable moment. She slowly spoke with desire in her eyes." Yusei scoffed at her gesture and walked with her hand in hand up the hill and sat down together on the bench. They soon looked up at the sky which was already dark and noticed all the stars starting to come out. They both sighed happily leaning against each other's shoulders knowing that they were truly happy that thy could do this without any interruptions. ' I guess I should tell her now while I got a good mood going. I know she won't be happy but it's something I better bring up now.' Yusei thought to himself trying to prepare for what might happen.

"Hey Akiza, Can I ask you something?" Yusei said turning to her.

"Sure Yusei. Anything honey." She answered sweetly.

"Well the truth is the reason I was being so absentminded today is because I was planning on going with Crow to visit an old friend of mine from the Satellite area and I was trying to figure out a good time to tell you about it. He moved to another city which is a bit far away from here and it would take a half a day to get there and back. Would you be mad if I went away for a week or so since Crow wants to make it just the two of us?"

"What about Jack?" She asked bluntly noticing he was not mentioned.

"He wanted to come but he had too many appointments to cancel so he told us to make sure we gave him more notice next time so he can come as well." Yusei explained scratching his head remembering how annoyed Jack was when they told him. Akiza didn't know what to say. She knew that she wanted Yusei to see and be with his friends but she also didn't want to be away from him for that long seeing how they haven't seen each other all that much as it was. Akiza sighed and decided to give him an honest answer.

"I can't be mad at you for wanting to see your friends Yusei. But if you do go without me then you have to promise me two things right now." She said seriously looking him dead in the eyes.

"Yes?"

"First, when you get back, you have to spend the whole day with me and make sure that we will have NO interruptions . And the second thing is that I want you to kiss me passionately right now." She let out seductively crawling up to him slowly. Yusei grinned at her gesture and was ore than happy to oblige her since she agreed to let him go.

"Your wish is my command." He leaned forward and kissed her while wrapping his arms around her. She leaned back while Yusei slowly lifted the back of her shirt and let Akiza fall onto the cold wood of the bench which gave her a quick shiver. 'Ahhh! Yusei, you Meanie!' She thought feeling the shivers down her spine He then proceeded down her neck with his lips and tongue to give her a greater chill.

"Yusei… I never said… to go overboard." She moaned softly.

"I couldn't help myself. Besides you asked for it." He said seductively in her ear as he kissed and licked it slowly.

"N-no. Not there!" She moaned loudly. She grabbed the grass hard as the pleasure from Yusei's mouth and tongue made it's way through her whole neck. Yusei then got up and smiled down at her.

"Akiza. Thanks for letting me go." He smiled.

"Would u not have gone if I said no?" She said sitting up.

"Mmmm, nope." He smiled innocently.

"I should have known." She sighed shaking her head.

"But I wish keep my promise to spend the whole day with you when I get back." He smiled.

"Alright. I love u Yusei."

"And I love you, Akiza."

End flashback:

They were gone for a whole week and Yusei hadn't called much while he was there. Akiza was downstairs washing dishes when her phone suddenly went off. She quickly dried her hands off and grabbed her phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Aki, It's me." Akiza's eyes went wide and her heart jumped at the sound of the voice.

"Yusei! It's been a while since you've called! How are you honey?" She asked ecstatic.

"I'm great. I'm sorry I didn't call much, but I have had a lot of fun and stuff to do with Crow and Kalin that I was so occupied I forgot to call you. I know that is no excuse so I made sure to buy you some gifts that I hope will compensate for it and I am calling to tell you I'm going to be back this afternoon!" He suddenly raised his voice at his last line.

"That's great to hear! I have missed you so much. Though u do owe me something don't forget."

"What's that?" He asked confused.

"A day alone with me. Remember our agreement?" She said seductively over the phone.

"I didn't forget. I'll make sure we get the whole day alone together so we can pick up where we left off at the park. He stated softly. Though I now have a question to ask U."

"And just what would that be, love?" She sang back.

"My place or yours?" He said sneakily back.

"Since you live alone, yours." She said sounding sexy.

"Ok then, I'll be home around five. So I'll see you later my beautiful rose."

"Bye Yusei, I love you."

"Love you too." He hung up. Akiza started jumping for joy that Yusei was coming back. She knew she would have to dress nice for the occasion. So she ran upstairs and started ripping her closet apart. Martha who was resting woke up from the noise and went to check on Akiza.

"Akiza? Are u ok?" She asked peeking into Akiza's room.

"NO! Yusei is coming back today and I have NOTHING to wear!" She panicked still going through everything she owned.

"Well then, how about we get you something new for today then. If we hurry we can buy something nice before the shops run out." Martha smiled.

"Alright. "Akiza then put on a red T-shirt and blue jeans and went out with Martha to the mall to find some nice outdoor clothes. They got to the mall and went straight to the women's section to find some new clothes. Martha and Akiza searched and found a few items that would attract attention.

"How about something more revealing? You and Yusei seem to be feeling more comfortable around each other that maybe it's time to show him that little extra?" Martha asked in a sneaky manner holding up a blue short tank top and matching short skirt. Akiza couldn't help but laugh in her head knowing tat she had already been quite revealing to Yusei even though they kept it quiet from everyone else. 'I have to make sure I don't let it slip tat we did that or Martha might flip out. So I'll play the shy act for now and get something by myself for now.'

"I'm not so comfortable with showing so much skin" Akiza said with a iffy tone shaking her hand sideways.

"But it's for Yusei. Wouldn't you want to show him more of yourself?" Martha said with a wink. Akiza blushed at Martha's wink more than the remark.

"I could I guess. But I also want to make it something we could go out together in without people staring at my chest." She brought up looking at it as it seemed to have gotten a bit bigger since the last time they shopped.

"That makes sense. Then how about this crimson flowery top?| Martha said showing a red top with flower patterns on the shoulders.

"That is too girly for my liking. I think I will go with this one." Akiza said grabbing a pure white lacy t-shirt with a red flower in the center."

"That's cute. You should get it." Martha agreed happily nodding at the clothing.

"I think I will." Akiza said putting the shirt over her arm.

"Well I need to use the washroom so I will be right back." Said Martha leaving Akiza alone. 'Perfect! Now I can shop for what I REALLY want!' Akiza giggled and then proceeded to look around and saw a red short top with thin arm straps and below it was a black short skirt with crimson streaks along the top waist line. She thought about how she would look in it and decided to get it as well. As she looked around a few more sections she stumbled upon something that she knew she wanted to have and quickly put it the bag as well. She then went and paid for everything just as Martha returned.

"Sorry, I'm late. There was a line up at the washroom. So you get some good clothes?" She asked pointing at Akiza's bags

"Yep. I got JUST what I wanted." Akiza smiled happily. Martha smiled seeing Akiza so happy and knew that she must have found something interesting while she was gone.

"Alright then. Shall we head back home then?"

"Yep." They left the mall and headed back to the house with Akiza smiling the whole walk back. 'I hope Yusei likes what I bought. I just hope that it won't be too much for him to handle.' She thought snickering as she looked at her bag. After making it home and gathering some supplies for dinner, Akiza got on the bus wit all her bags and headed for Yusei's place. She was let off and noticed tat his runner wasn't around and his door was still locked. 'I guess he hasn't made it back yet. She thought sadly with a quiet sigh. Oh well, I'll just wait and hope he shows up soon.' She then sat on his step for about 15 minutes until she heard her name being called in the background.

"Akiza! Hey There!" She turned around and saw the female reporter running up to her.

"Hello there. Um, what was your name again sorry?" Akiza asked confused.

"It's Carly! I was hoping to talk to you about Yusei. It seems he's not here right now so I hope you wouldn't mind answering some questions?" Akiza wasn't sure about how to go with this situation. She knew that Carly liked Jack and knew that Yusei had already talked to her. 'What more could she want to know that I would be able to tell her?' Akiza thought trying to figure this out.

"What do you want to know?"

"Is it true that you both are dating each other?" Akiza eyes went wide. She knew that it was true, but she didn't want it on every paper in the city.

"Why do you need to know this? Are you trying to make an article or something? She said in a somewhat angry tone.

"No, not at all! I was just told by Jack that you two were going out and I wanted to confirm that's all!" Carly said panicking trying to keep Akiza calm. Akiza was baffled at what she had just heard. Why was Jack of all people telling the press about her and Yusei? It was none of his business or anyone else's for that matter.

"I can't believe that Jack! He has no business taking about other behind their backs!" Akiza said in a rage standing up.

"Wait! It's not like that! I was with him at his place and I told him I saw you two together and he admitted that you two said you were!" Now Akiza was stunned.

"What were you doing at Jack's place?" This time it was Carly who was blushing red.

"Well… because we are dating right now." She fidgeted with her hands. Akiza froze in place like a statue.

"Dating? Your dating Jack?" She could hardly say the line.

"Mhm, I really like him. So I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot though."

"No, its ok. I'm just glad we got that cleared up." Said Akiza calming down.

"Thanks. So, are you two going out?" Carly asked again.

"Yes. We have been for the last 6 months and we are both happy with each other." Akiza smiled.

"That's good to hear. Jack and I have been going out for a month and a half now." Carly smiled back feeling comfortable talking to Akiza as a friend and not a reporter.

"That's nice. What have you both done together?' Akiza asked as they sat together on Yusei's step.

"We just talk at his place or hang together at a coffee shop. We don't do much else since I'm busy with work and he is busy with his life." Akiza knew full well what that was like since Yusei and her were in the same boat. She was only hoping that tonight would change that.

"Yeah. Yusei left out of town this week and is coming back today so I'm getting ready for a nice day out with him." Akiza smiled looking at the sky.

"That's sweet. What are you two going to do together?" Carly asked looking Akiza in the face.

"Don't know. We haven't decided that yet. We can figure that out when he gets back." Said Akiza trying to hide her smile since she already knew the answer

"Well I hope it continues to go well. Later Akiza, and thanks!" Carly yelled getting up running down the street. 'If what I have planned goes well, it will.' Akiza smiled to herself and continued to wait outside Yusei's. He arrived just shortly before 5pm and saw Akiza waiting outside for him. He then stopped a little bit further back as so she wouldn't notice.

"Hey my red rose!" He called out. She quickly jumped up and turned to see the red duel runner parked a few blocks down from her.

"I'm back Akiza." A familiar face smiled as he removed his helmet.

"Yusei! I missed u so much!" Akiza ran up and hugged him tightly.

"I missed u too Akiza. I wished I had you with me while I was there." He smiled.

"Yeah right. I'm sure you guys had PLENTY of fun didn't u?" She teased him.

"Well we did have fun, but it still wasn't the same without you." He kissed her on the cheek. He turned and saw her bags on his step.

"What are those?" He asked pointing to the bags.

"You will see later." She smirked.

"Alright." He then parked his duel runner and lead Akiza inside to the living room. As she sat down around the familiar sight, she thought about when would be a good time to reveal her gift.

"So Yusei, What did you do on your trip with Crow?" Akiza asked looking at him as he got some water.

"Well, the first thing we did was find our friend Kalin and stayed at his place. Then he gave us a tour of his city which wasn't as big as this one but it was like something out of the old west. Wooden homes and old style saloon's and such. So after looking around we just talked and did some turbo duelling with each other like the old days. Pretty much we just talked, hung out, and went around the historic sites. That was pretty much the whole trip." He explained in detail as he sat beside her on his couch.

"Wow, but u did enjoy it right? It was truly nice to see someone from your past wasn't it?" Akiza asked curiously since she had no one really like that

"Yep. I will go back again and visit him again when we all can. However next time you and Jack are definitely coming with." He smiled at her.

"You had better bring me along next time. I might have given you your time with the guys but now you have made me curious." She laughed.

"I will make sure you come with us. Kalin said he wanted to meet you next time anyway so you would HAVE to come with." Yusei told her finishing his water.

"Did you tell him about us dating?" She asked with a somewhat curious tone.

"Yeah I told him that I was dating u. He asked if me and Crow had anyone we were seeing and I told him the truth. He was happy to hear that I finally found someone as he put it" Yusei smiled and laughed at Akiza. She then stood up and hugged him gently.

"I doubt you could ever lie to a friend Yusei." Akiza whispered sweetly rubbing her face in his chest.

"And I will never lie to you either." He smiled raising her head off his chest to see her eye to eye. He moved in to kiss her but she pulled back with her finger to his lips.

"Not yet dear. Save it for later." she winked turning around slowly to tease him. 'You are such a siren.' He smiled to himself. They then made a dinner consisting of lasagne, Caesar salad, and ice cream which Yusei had stocked up before he left. Though the dinner this time turned out really well as Akiza was definitely getting better with her cooking skills.

"Your getting better at this Akiza. You could probably run a restaurant someday." Yusei smiled after swallowing some salad.

"Thanks sweetie. Martha has been showing me some tips while you were gone. But I don't think that's something I would want to do." She said cutting her lasagne.

"Well, I think you would be great at it. If she's teaching u then I know you will be since Martha was always good at cooking and would be a great teacher as she is already proving to be." He smirked getting his ice cream bowled up.

"I know. I wonder sometimes if there is anything she can't do." Akiza said finishing her plate.

"Turbo duel." Yusei joked.

"Very funny. I can't do that either you know." Akiza smiled while making her own bowl of ice cream and sitting down again.

"Well, my friends and I would be more than happy to show you how if you ever decide to Akiza. It will take a lot of time and practice, but once you get it down it's really easy." He mentioned as he was almost finished eating.

"I would have to think about it." She stated bluntly as the thought of it alone wasn't a feeling that she wanted to have going through her mind.

"That's fine take your time." Yusei smiled while happily eating his ice cream. After they finished eating. They went back into the living room and started watching a movie on Yusei's small TV. As they watched the Movie a commercial came on with a swimsuit model which a bigger chest than normal. Akiza never really cared about stuff like that or showing off before. But she wondered if Yusei liked that kind of stuff. He never really showed interest in it even when Akiza was wearing clothes or during their alone times together. Akiza decided that maybe it was time for some clarification.

"Yusei?" She asked quietly.

"Yes?"

"How do your feel about people like that model?" She asked softly pointing to the TV.

"Can you be more specific than that?" He asked bluntly.

"I meant, do you like big chests and people who show themselves off like that?" Yusei looked back at the model and had a funny feeling e knew where she was going with this. Truth was that before Akiza, he hardly had interest in women period let alone how big they were. To him women are women no matter what they look like and knew that he had no problem answering that question.

"Not really. It doesn't really do anything but cause a million eyes to lock onto u from other people. Some people though are born small or big on their own, but I don't understand why u women make such a big deal about size." He explained with Akiza giving him a not so satisfied look.

"I see. So that's how you REALLY feel?" Akiza asked getting in his face.

"Yes! Wait, don't tell me your thinking I would look at another woman just cause she would be bigger than u?" Yusei said pointing his finger.

"Maybe. She let slide out. U men usually are weak for revealing women with lots to give." Akiza tsked shaking her head.

"And what's the give? Something like that can't be easy to deal with when it comes to clothes shopping. Plus all the care and work women put in to being like that, it just doesn't make sense to me. No offence."

"None taken. I have a pretty big chest but I have seen bigger from others, but I have never really cared either. And you are definitely right about the clothes thing." She laughed at her last remark.

"There u go. So no, I don't care about those kind of things. I like you regardless of how you look or how big you are. You don't have to dress up crazy or do too much for me to try and impress me since you do it every time we are together. Even though I will admit that those clothes do sometimes make you look pretty or sexy even." He winked.

"Oh teaser!" She said giving him a slight slap across the forehead.

"Yeah so? You got a problem with that?" He said sticking his tongue out.

"Yeah I do." She said sitting up and walking away from him and going for her bag.

"What's in that bag?" He said sounding a bit worried that he might have gone to far with the joke. Akiza then turned and smiled sweetly and walked towards the bathroom with her bag.

"You will see in just a minute." She said in a sexy manor while walking in and closing the door. Yusei realized that she wasn't mad but was still confused and curious as to what was in that bag. After two minutes Akiza called out to Yusei from the washroom.

"Honey! Can you please turn so your face is away from the door?!"

"Sure thing. He said turning around. 'What is that woman trying to do?' e asked himself as he turned around. Ok I'm turned around!" He called to her and heard the door open behind him.

"Ok you can turn around now." When Yusei turned to see Akiza his heart almost jumped out of his chest. She was in nothing but a black and red thin lace see-through bra and matching panties that had straps like spaghetti . Yusei blushed redder than ever before seeing his girlfriend like that, and after what he just said to her. He felt like the biggest liar in the world for saying he didn't care.

A/n: Wow talk about turning up the heat. Next chapter shows a lemon and the promised turbo duel. Who will win? R&R
