I decided to put a lemon in after all. I am thankful for all those who have been reviewing my story and I shall tell you there shall be a little love between Jack and Carly in the future. To all those who have asked, I plan on changing the battle without the dark signers. I have done something different for the marks and the battle.

Chapter 24 understanding and feeling love.

In the ladies bedroom Carly had woken up by a sudden urge for water. Half asleep she slipped out of her bed and walked right by Akiza's empty one and headed for the sink in the bathroom. After gulping down a paper cup of water she returned this time noticing her friend's absence. 'Where did she go at this time of night? Oh well I'm sure she's fine. I wouldn't be surprised if she and Yusei were screwing around right now. Oh great, I'm starting to think like Jack now. He would certainly love this.' She giggled in her mind. She brushed it off and laid back down for a good night's sleep. Back at the beach Yusei and Akiza were sitting in the sand with Akiza resting on Yusei as he was slowing and playfully raining sand on her skin.

"That tickles love. But it feels sooo refreshing." She sighed happily kissing his right cheek.

"I thought you would be tired of kissing since we just finished going at it for 20 minutes." Yusei teased licking his lips still feeling Akiza's taste on them.

"You saying that you can get bored of your lover's tender lips Yusei?" She asked him slightly lifting herself up in a annoyed fashion.

"I didn't it mean it like that at all. I meant if you want me to rephrase it, don't you think that if we spend all our time kissing we won't have time for anything else?" He smirked slowing moving his hand over her exposed stomach area with his finger moving around in her belly button.

"Ahhh! Hey, that tickles!" She squealed turning over on her stomach to hide her button from him. Yusei lightly chuckled now noticing her bare back was staring him in the face with only the thin laces of her bikini top between them. He proceeded his hand down her back slowly causing shivers to form on her bare spine. Akiza lightly moaned at the cool yet warm feel of his hand which made it's way under her bikini bottom and onto her ass. 'Ohhh. That's nice Yusei. It feels so different.' She cooed in her mind as she felt him massage her ass slowly. He continued to massage it while is lips made their way from her lower back up to her neck and back again over and over causing Akiza's moans to grow more rapidly and loudly. "Yusei, it feels great like this! This setup and this place makes it feel so much better!" She called out gripping the sand gently as Yusei's tongue continued to toy with her back and spine. Yusei had learned through their past experiences where most of Akiza's sensitive spots were and knew just how to tease her. After playing around with her back he trailed his tongue up to her neck and began lightly sucking all around her collarbone. Akiza's body began to stiff up as well as began to grow slightly wet between her legs as she felt Yusei's body treat hers like a toy.

"Suck my neck Yusei. Suck it… so you leave a mark…please." She started to pant as her breathing was already leaving her. Yusei smiled at her words and wrapped his lips around a spot and sucked hard like a leech. 'Ahhhh. Oh yeah! My lord! Your so strong Yusei!' Her words rang in her mind with him moving his hands moving to undo her straps which held her small top to her chest. He then lifted her off the sand leaving the piece of cloth in the sand where she had laid and placed her in a sitting position with his hand s now grabbing her firm breasts from behind and squeezing them hard.

"Yusei! Your going…so ro-rough! You are be-being so fo-forward today!" She called to him but heard no reply. Akiza was beginning to wonder why Yusei wasn't saying anything and being so forceful. It was no mistake that he was being more aggressive and forceful than normal which was sort of scaring her and at the same time making her react much more lustfully. His strong lips continued to press on her neck all around with his left hand still on her ass while his free hand moved to her right breast. As he moved his hand all around her breast which made her nipple hard and stick out he pinched at her ass cheeks and her erect nipple which cause her to scream out at the feeling of the pressure of his fingers playing with her he laid her down gently on her back on the sand letting her slowly catch her breath after being played with like a doll. She then looked at his face as she saw a look that was full of regret and sadness.

"What's wrong Yusei?" She asked lifting herself off the sand while still underneath him.

"I'm sorry Akiza. I guess I got a little carried away this time. I don't know why but I felt like I was filled with desire and it was only getting stronger while I was holding and kissing you and I couldn't think of anything else. This is the first time it has happened to me and I'm sorry if I scared you at all." He sulked. Akiza then looked at him and saw the truth in his eyes. She could quickly tell that he was truly sorry and truth be told she was also feeling more aroused than ever before with what they were doing. Akiza smiled and took Yusei's hand and placed them on her exposed breasts and began to move them vigorously. Yusei was taken back by her sudden bold move and showed a surprised look on his face which made Akiza smile a somewhat evil smile. She let out a light purr as she moved his hands faster over her firm hills and squeezed them strongly making herself gasp out in ecstasy. Yusei then noticed something different about Akiza and decided to ask.

"Honey, have your breasts gotten bigger? They seem to fill my hands more than before." He asked her slyly as he now took some action and pressed and lifted her breasts all around.

"Ye-yes! They grew t-two inches since last time you had you w-way with them." She panted underneath his well toned body which was beginning to sweat up while she was already leaking sweat out of many pores all around her body. Desire oozed from Akiza's lower region as it was begging for the same touch her breasts were currently enjoying at the hands of Yusei. Wetness dripped from her bikini bottom which Yusei noticed and he decided to clean up the mess his own way. He then moved his head below her waistline and pulled down her last piece of clothing slowly to reveal a fully wet and hot valley begging to be pleasured.

"Wow Akiza, your dripping like a loose faucet. You must be enjoying this more than you show." He snickered inserting two fingers in her empty hole and moving them around.

"OH KAMI! IT'S SO GOOD! I'M ON FIRE YUSEI!" Akiza screamed at the top of her lungs which surprised Yusei. 'She really is getting into this. Maybe the beach is the place to do this? If that's the case…' He then grinned and placed a finger on top of Akiza's clotiris and pushed lightly and rubbed his finger all over it. Akiza began smacking the sand hard with her hands while her upper body shook wildly from the sheer pleasure rushing from inside her vagina. She had never had an orgasm before but was sure this was it. Yusei decided that now was the time to bring it up a level and shoved his face fast into her hole causing Akiza to jump her lower half high into the air while screaming out.

"YUSEI! THAT'S GREAT! MORE! DO IT MORE! TAKE IT ALL IN! TAKE ALL OF ME YUSEI!" She screamed out as sweat started pouring out her whole body as she lifted her hips and legs with Yusei's mouth still between them. He then stood up on his feet holding Akiza's legs high in the air while she hung in his hands upside down while he licked and continued to play with her clitoris and the inside of her thighs. Akiza panted and looked up at and saw Yusei's face buried in her thighs and couldn't hold it in anymore. She wanted him right now and here on the beach where it felt the best it ever had before. But even with her mind drowned in ecstasy and love she knew that doing it bareback could be hazardous. She knew the risks but since she knew her time of the month was soon she thought that it would be ok.

"Yusei… I want…"She panted.

"Ì know. He said softly putting her back down. But I didn't bring one with me." He told her depressed since he thought they would have to stop.

"I know. But I don't care. My period is coming soon so I'll be ok this time. Please Yusei…take me now… from behind." She begged getting on her hands and knees and turning her wet ass to Yusei.

"Akiza… your now the one who's acting weird. But if my rose wishes it." He succumbed to her wishes and dropped his trunks and placed his erect shaft on her ass and teased her by moving it around her cheeks and rubbing it against her without inserting it.

"Stop teasing me Yusei! She turned to him angry. I want it NOW!" She ordered him with authority. Yusei smiled at her demanding voice while in this position. He then obeyed her words and planted himself inside her hard and fast. Akiza eyes flew open as the orgasm she felt grew to a higher level of feeling while Yusei was moving faster inside of her. Akiza could feel her insides tighten around Yusei which he noticed as well.

"Akiza… your squeezing… so tight. Your… loving this… aren't you? He asked between his thrusts.

"Yes! Yes! I Fucking love it Yusei! More! Fuck me more and harder! Go faster love!" She commanded him. Yusei smiled at her order and pushed himself as far as he could go inside her. Akiza could feel the length and hardness of Yusei grow inside which only made her sink further into her orgasm. She had never felt Yusei as much as she was now from all the previous times and she didn't want it to end.

"Your… sooo big… Yusei! Your giving me… more… than usual! Ahhhh! More! Keep fucking going!" After a few more thrusts Yusei decided to alter the position by turning Akiza on her back and lifting her legs onto his shoulders. Yusei always thought this position was the best since he could see Akiza's pleasure filled face while doing this with her. He smiled down at her as his thrusts continued to render her powerless to his movements. His thrusts became faster and stronger as he himself was also now losing himself in the feel of being one with Akiza's pussy. The tightness and wetness she was giving him made his heart go crazy with emotion and he knew that he was going to cum soon. He then in one move laid his back on the cold sand which he didn't notice since he was hotter than the sun right now and pulled Akiza on top of him into a cowgirl position and then trusted his hips hard upward into Akiza who was now rocking like crazy against Yusei's lower regions with her hands on the sand for leverage.

"YUSEI! IT'S SO GREAT! YOUR SO BIG AND HARD! KEEP GOING! FUCK ME AS LONG AS YOU CAN! AHHH! YES! YES!"

"Akiza… I can't… I'm going to…" Yusei tried to tell her through his panting.

"Yes my love! CUM INSIDE ME! FILL ME WITH YOUR LOVE AND HEAT!" After a few more thrusts they climaxed together with Akiza falling onto Yusei's chest exhausted and panting wildly. The orgasm she felt was stronger than anything her powers ever produced. They looked at each other and smiled and knew that now they needed real sleep to make sure they were ready for tomorrow. After laying for a few minutes on the beach Yusei sat up and looked at Akiza.

"Shall we go to sleep, love?" He asked playfully.

"I think that would be wise. Though I wish you were with me my shooting star." She cooed to him with a sly look.

"Well I wish the same thing my lovely rose. But we should get back before we do catch cold."

"Alright." They then got up and headed back to their respected rooms quietly so as not to wake anyone up and went to sleep after a fulfilling night of love. The night quickly passed by with Luna waking up and sighing as she looked out the window to see the sun slowly rising over the beach.. She looked at her brother as he snored asleep. She smiled as she got dressed and headed downstairs. 'Yusei and Akiza seem so happy whenever they are together. Even Jack and Carly seem happier when they are closer to each other. I wonder…if I ever fall in love, would I be that happy with the one I am in love with?' She thought to herself. She was about to grab some bread for toast when she saw Akiza out of the corner of her eye coming downstairs.

"Good morning Akiza." Luna said smiling.

"Good morning to you too. Your up early Luna." Akiza said smiling back as she sat beside her friend.

"Yeah I just woke up suddenly and didn't want to go back to sleep so I decided to just relax down here. I didn't want to wake anyone else up." She said sitting on one of the sofas.

"I understand. I have had nights like that as well. You just don't want to go back to sleep. But there are days where all you ever WANT to do is sleep." She giggled.

"Yeah that's true. I have plenty of days like that when it comes to Leo." Luna laughed softly.

"But he is just being him. I wish I had a brother or sister growing up. I might have not become what I did if I had one." Akiza said sitting beside Luna with her head down. Luna looked over at Akiza and decided that now would be a good time to get something off her chest.

"Hey Akiza, Can I ask you a personal question?" The female twin asked shyly

"Sure. What's up Luna?" Luna had a slight blush come across her face. She knew that she was curious about love and she knew she trusted Akiza but something inside her was still worried about what she was going to hear.

"What does it feel like to be in love? How does it feel to be with someone you truly care about? You know, like you and Yusei?" Akiza was somewhat surprised at Luna's sudden question. She knew that Luna was at that age where she would start being interested in men. Akiza pondered for a few seconds on how to answer and came up with a good explanation.

"You know Luna, A while ago I was asking the same question. Before I met Yusei and when I was alone at the Movement I too wondered what true love was. I asked myself everyday what it meant to be truly wanted by another and what it meant to be in love with someone. I never thought I would ever find someone like Yusei in my life, or you and the others too for that matter." Akiza told the young girl truthfully.

"Really?" Luna asked somewhat surprised.

"Yep. So I will answer you honestly. It is not wrong to want to love someone or find someone to be with. Just make sure you don't jump into anything you will regret or rush a relationship just to say you could. Love takes time to grow and understand properly. I know that if you had asked me all this a year ago I would have had no answer at all for you but now that I have Yusei and all of you as friends I know what true love means to me. I hope that one day you find someone to love as much as I love Yusei." Akiza smiled at the younger signer. Luna looked into Akiza's smiling eyes and saw a light in them that she never noticed before. She could tell that Akiza meant every word she just said and was happy that she could rely on Akiza like a big sister.

"Thanks You Akiza." Luna smiled hugging Akiza. Akiza smiled back and returned the hug. 'I hope you find the right man for you in your future Luna. But just be happy being the child you are for now. There is no need to rush anything. When the time is right he will appear before you.' Akiza thought with Luna in her arms. Luna broke out of the hug and smiled at Akiza.

"I'm glad we could have this girl time to talk. I really do wish you were my big sister like Leo has brought up before." Luna smiled at Akiza.

"I'm glad we could talk like this too Luna. I also wish I had a sister like you growing up and know that I will be around as much as I can if you need a girl to talk too." Akiza winked.

"Then can I ask you another personal question?" Luna said blushing again.

"No problem. But why are you blushing?" Akiza asked tilting her head.

"Well-" She muttered.

"Hmm?"

"Have you and Yusei slept together? Like SLEPT together?" Hearing this made Akiza's heart jump a beat. She knew that she and Yusei had done MUCH more than just sleeping together but knew that it wouldn't be appropriate to explain stuff like this to Luna bluntly. She decided to try and let it out slowly without to much detail.

"Well, the thing is Luna is that I don't really know if I should be talking to you about stuff like THAT yet. I understand that you are growing up and becoming more interested in mature information and I can respect that. But the thing you have to see is Yusei and I are adults and we can do things together that we truly love doing. I know you are curious but I just don't really know what to say or how to explain it."

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I am asking you all this. I just feel weird seeing you two and Jack and Carly together that I feel like I want to be the same as you guys." Akiza stood up and smiled while putting her and on Luna's shoulder.

"Luna. I know that you yourself will grow into a great ad strong young woman that any man should be proud to have beside him someday. You are a better person than I ever was at your age and I wish I was more like you when I had the chance." She smiled.

"Really?" Luna smiled.

"Yes. Your growing up and at that age where you are curious and starting to see things differently as well as getting interested in more mature things in life. But I want you to remember something."

"What is it?" She asked now curious again.

"Never rush a relationship just because someone else says you should our because you want to experience something. That will only lead to trouble. I will confess that yes Yusei and I have slept together and have done other things together. Because we both love each other and knew that we were ready for it." She slightly blushed saying the last comment.

"I will remember that. Thanks Akiza. I won't ask anything more. At least not right now." She sang sticking her tongue out.

"You HAVE grown up little lady." Akiza smiled and chuckled like a siren.

"You two seem to be having fun." A male voice called from the stairs. The girls turned to see Yusei smiling at them both as he came downstairs.

"Good morning Hun." Akiza said sweetly.

"Good Morning to you too." He smiled back.

"Hey Yusei, can I ask you a question?" Luna asked walking up to him at the foot of the steps. Akiza smiled knowing what the question was most likely going to be and wondered how Yusei would react

"Sure. What do u need to know?"

"What does it feel like to be in love? How are you and Akiza so happy together?" Yusei became stunned like Akiza was. He looked over and saw Akiza smiling while she moved her hands signalling him to say something. He could tell that Luna had already gotten to Akiza so he knew he couldn't get out of this.

"It is a great feeling to be in love with someone Luna. Being in love makes you feel and see things in way you would never know existed. I know that I couldn't be happier with my life if I hadn't met Akiza. The feeling of being with someone you love cannot be described with words because everyone feels and experiences it differently. I know that when you find a special person for yourself Luna, you will understand." He smiled with his hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you Yusei." Luna said smiling.

"Your welcome. Now go and wake up your brother so we don't waste the morning. We are going to the park today for a day of fun with everyone." He smiled.

"Really?! Thank you Yusei!"

"Hey, you brought us here. This is our payback to you two." He smiled at her like a father figure.

"Thanks. I will go wake him up now." She said running upstairs. When Luna was out of sight Akiza walked up behind Yusei and hugged him. Yusei turned to see her face to face and smiled.

"Can I help you ma'am?" He smiled.

"No. I'm just happy after hearing your sweet words to Luna." She smiled at him like a little girl.

"I was just telling her exactly what I believe and feel. I'm sure you did the same thing when she asked you."

"Yep I did. I had no reason to lie to her. They grow up so fast though." She said while faking a tear making Yusei laugh.

"You got that right. They are talking now about sex and relationships as well as feeling their bodies starting to change. Soon they won't be children anymore and we will be the ones to watch over them like real parents would.

"That's true. But I truly don't know if I could see myself as a mother since I don't have any real good memories from mine." She sighed sadly. Yusei looked at Akiza and saw that she was remembering her past and knew that she was still getting over her past and put his arm around her to comfort her.

"You will make a good mother someday Akiza. I know that you didn't have the best childhood and that is exactly why you will be a good mother."

"What makes you say that?" She asked confused.

"Because you had a not so great upbringing you know what you don't want your children to go through or experience as you yourself have. You know what it means to have a family but not a real family. You have shown through the twins and me that you will truly be a great mother to any child you have. Akiza blushed at the thought of having kids. She knew that she might want them someday with Yusei but she wasn't sure when she would be ready for them if it was to happen. After all she wasn't the most experienced with kids even though Yusei had a point with the twins. But watching over young teen twins and raising children from birth were two TOTALLY different things. She decided though to put the thought aside and be happy with Yusei's words.

"The same is true for you, Yusei. You will be a great father someday. I know that you have the right heart for it." She smiled causing the blush to transfer from her to him.

"I'm not so sure about that." He said sighing.

"Why not?" Akiza asked tilting her head.

"I don't know anything about being a father since I never had one. I don't know anything about how to handle or raise a family." This time Yusei had a point. He NEVER had any parents expect for Martha who raised him but she was a mother figure to him and he had no one to sow him the ways of fatherhood. She know knew that in some ways truly Yusei had it harder than she did but she knew that pain comes in many different types and forms. What someone has another wants and vice versa.

"But you can handle the twins so well You act like a father to them." She told him trying to cheer him up.

"That's more like being a big brother or good friend to them. Being a father would be a TOTALLY different and new experience for me." Now Akiza had to agree with him. She had just thought the same thing about raising children and could see once again that she and Yusei had even more in common now.

"I didn't realize you felt that way about children." Akiza said hugging her boyfriend.

"I guess it's just nerves. Hearing all this family talk is somewhat weird to me." He said resting his head on her shoulder.

"It's ok. I'm glad we could talk about this subject though." She smiled.

"Yeah. I agree." He admitted raising his head up.

"So are we going to the park today?"

"Yep as soon as Jack and Carly wake up. Jack is feeling much better it seems so he will be coming with us this time."

"That's great to hear. I'm sure Carly will be happy to know that. So what can we do to pass the time right now?" She asked looking around.

"I can think of a few things." He said slyly hugging her from behind.

"I'm being serious Yusei!" She said breaking his hug with a laugh.

"Well ok what do you suggest?" He said looking right at her.

"How about we just sit here and talk. It's been a while since we could just have some time to ourselves." She smiled.

"Alright. What do you want to talk about?" He said sitting down.

"Well I actually have a very serious question to ask you Yusei." She said seriously and directly.

"Oookkk." He said quite nervous now since she wasn't usually like this on a good day.

"What is it that you love the most about me Yusei? I want your honest answer as well." Yusei was completely stunned by her question. He knew there were many things he loved about her but didn't know how to word it.

"It's hard to put into words but it was your pure heart that really got me to notice you."

"My heart?" She asked confused.

"I know it sounds weird to you but I assure you it's true. I will admit that at first I wasn't sure what to think of you since you were making it so hard to approach you. But after you settled down and opened up a bit you showed how pure and gentle you truly are."

"Really?" She said blushing.

"Yes. After I hanged around you for a while I began to see the real you. You truly are a kind and caring person deep down inside. You also worry more about others than you do yourself sometimes as you have shown with the twins. Martha has told me a few times how much you help her even when she says not too." He smiled.

"Well that's because I owe her and you guys for giving me a new home and a new life. I just don't want to make it seem I'm using you guys."

"Akiza, we both know for a fact that you wouldn't do that." He assured her.

"Thanks Yusei." She smiled.

"Now the same question to you. Why did you fall for someone like me?"

"There are so many reasons love. You saved me from my pain and gave me a fresh start. You were the first man who saw me as a person and not a monster or someone to use. You have gone out of your way many times just to make me happy and you have always thought of me no matter where you are or what your doing." She smiled.

"And it is all because I love you Akiza." He got up and hugged her.

"Thanks Yusei. I don't ever want to be apart from you."

"You won't I promise."

"But I do have something else I want to talk about."

"What is it?" He said breaking the hug.

"Well it's-"

"We are ready!" Leo called coming downstairs with Luna, Jack and Carly.

"Oh ok. Well then shall we head to the park?"

"Yes!" The twins and Carly shouted. Everyone then got dressed up and headed out to the car. Yusei was in a black t-shirt and matching dress pants. Akiza was in a red short tube top with blue shorts. Carly was wearing a light blue t-shirt and brown slacks. Leo and Luna were dressed in boy and girl matching striped t-shirt and shorts.

"Well I'm going to be driving everyone so let's get in and head on out." Jack said getting in the front seat. As the twins got in the middle seat and Carly got in beside Jack Akiza grabbed Yusei before he climbed in and got close to his ear.

"I want to tell you something later. It's important." She whispered.

"Ok." He said climbing in. They all buckled up and headed off on what they were sure was going to be a day to remember.

A/n: I know that this chapter was shorter than the last few and I hope no one minds the extra maturity I added to the lemon. I also won't be updating as fast as I have work to deal with and other things. If anyone has any ideas how they want the rest of the trip to go or if you want me to send everyone home… R&R
