I'm sorry to everyone who wanted to see the earthbound immortals but I wanted to have something different so again I apologize. I hope that everyone sticks by me until the end. This is going to be a very emotional and life changing chapter so hopefully everyone enjoys it. Also to all those who liked the emotion that Jack and Yusei showed I agree that tv is to edited for my liking as well.

Chapter 34 The Evening of Beginnings and Endings.

Yusei and Jack with Akiza and Luna had just finished their business with Goodwin and the Crimson Dragon and were headed back to Martha's to show Leo and her that everyone was alright. They drove until they made it to the front of Martha's house and all got off the runners and knocked on the front door. Martha came to the door and opened to see everyone standing in front of her with smiles on their faces to show they took care of what they needed to do.

"You guys are all back! She screamed in extreme happiness. Are you all ok?! No one is hurt at all are they?!" She asked them all as she then gave each of them a hug.

"No, we are all just fine Martha. Akiza assured her. How is Leo doing? Jack said he left him here with you after he found him."

"Oh he is resting upstairs still and he only woke up once but he was pretty weak so I told him where he was and also said to him that he should rest some more since Jack and Yusei were on it. But you all can go upstairs to visit him now if you want to show him that you are all ok." She offered as she let everyone come inside the house.

"Thank you so much Martha for helping him. I need to see my brother and know that he's ok though." Luna thanked her wholeheartedly.

"No problem at all Luna. I will always be here for any of you if you need me. They all then headed upstairs and entered the bedroom to see laying down fast asleep with a soft expression on his face. Luna sighed in relief that he was alright and was resting himself. She then grabbed a chair from the room and put it beside him and sat down at his side. Akiza could see that she wanted to be with her brother and then tapped both Jack and Yusei on their shoulder to signal them to leave the twins alone and give them some time together. The men along with Akiza left the room and headed back downstairs where Martha was waiting for them with water at the table. Everyone then sat down around the table and allowed Martha to speak first.

"So what all exactly happened with all of you? Did you teach that jerk a lesson for hurting a innocent child?"

"You bet we did Martha. He was trying to take all our marks for himself to grant him the full power of the Crimson Dragon."

"Your not serious! He would hurt all of you for something like that?!" She asked loudly in disbelief.

"Exactly. He duelled all of us and won thanks to some stupid new monster that could absorb our synchro so he had a complete advantage over us and ending up beating all of us except for Yusei. He was the one I'll admit that put that punk in his place." Jack sighed knowing that this time it was Yusei who was the center of what happened.

"That's my boys! Never backing down and fighting to the end for what they care about! I truly did raise you both well!" Martha smiled drinking some water.

"You certainly did Martha. They are the best guys I have ever met in my life and I will always be grateful to both of them for saving me and Luna." Akiza commented as she looked at the two men who nodded at her as to say: no problem.

"Trust me Akiza when is say I will always come when you need me too help or save you. I promise you that with everything I have." Yusei assured her which made her smile happily.

"Thank you Yusei. That means so much to me to hear you say those words." Akiza thanked him happily with a loving smile covering her face.

"Look you two, I hate to break up your little moment right now but I think that now that everyone is over I am going to take off and go find Carly now." Jack stated standing up from his seat.

"Your going already Jack? You just got here though." Martha complained wanting her boys to stay longer since she had no one around anymore since Akiza moved out.

"I have to go and find Carly and keep my promise to her. I told her that I would tell her everything that happened when I came back once you all were safe. I have never broken a promise yet and I don't intend to start now."

"That's the right thing to do then Jack. Just try and keep it simple ok?" Yusei suggested since he didn't want people learning about the Crimson Dragon.

"I'll make sure that we are all satisfied Yusei. Now I must be off. Take care Martha, Akiza. I'll see you both later." He said heading for the door.

"Wait a second Jack!" Akiza called to him making him stop and turn around to see her looking right at him. Yusei and Martha were also confused as to why Akiza stopped Jack from leaving since he had just told them why he was going.

"What is it Akiza? You need something from me?" He asked confused.

"I want you to confirm something before you go. Are you really planning on leaving Neo Domino City to go into a world turbo duelling league?" She asked him since she heard what he had asked Goodwin to do for him before they left the mansion. He looked at her and sighed and had an idea as to why she was asking him.

"Don't worry about Carly, Akiza. I plan on telling her myself when I get there. I was going to do that from the start once I got back from Goodwin's I don't know how she will take the news or what she plans to do. But this is something I feel that I must do in life to truly be myself. I must expand my horizons and see for myself if I can become a true king of duel monsters. Whatever happens on that road I will face when I get to that point." Akiza sighed and hoped that this would work out since she honestly wasn't sure how Carly would take the news but she knew that it wasn't place or right to interfere in Jack's or Carly's life.

"I understand Jack. I hope it all works out for you in the end. I will miss you though since you are a true friend to me and someone who has helped me walk this path I walk now." Akiza admitted to him honestly since it was him who helped her with her duelling and finding her path in life.

"I also shall miss you my young Jack. I am happy to see my young boys growing up well and leaving the nest with strong hearts and beliefs. I hope that the next time I see you Jack, you will be the true king that you wish to be." Martha smiled with a slight tear in her eye.

"I promise I will come back. If all works out I will leave in three days. But know I have other people to meet so farewell everyone! We will have a proper goodbye when the time comes!" He shouted as he waved goodbye before leaving the house. As they all watched Jack leave Akiza and Yusei were also thinking now about their own futures. They both looked at each other wondering what the other was planning to do now that they were now free of their marks and could live without any trouble and in peace like normal people. Akiza knew that now was a good time to reveal her pregnancy to Yusei but wanted to wait until they were alone since she didn't want Martha too go crazy about it as she knew she would. She quickly felt the fluids in her body build up and knew what was coming.

"I need to use the washroom!" She called out before shooting away like a bullet to the bathroom with Yusei sweat dropping at how quickly she ran.

"Wow. She can really move when she wants too." Yusei noted sipping some water. Martha looked towards the bathroom and could faintly hear the sounds of Akiza vomiting in the bathroom and had an idea of what was wrong with her but like Akiza didn't want to say anything in case Akiza hadn't already.

"I hope she isn't sick or anything. She has just gotten over enough without needing anything else happen to her." Martha looked on worried with Yusei nodding slightly in agreement.

"I know what you mean Martha. I know that Akiza deserves so much more than what she has gotten in life and I hope I can give her everything she deserves and much more." He told her sincerely.

"You got that right Yusei. I have watched over many children in my life including you, Jack, and Crow. But I truly feel that Akiza is like my own daughter sometimes. I don't want to see anymore bad things come to her or you so you both had better live happily!" She warned pointing to him. He was in agreement about living happily but was confused about the way she phrased it.

"Martha, you know we aren't living together remember? She just got her own place a little while ago remember?" Yusei asked her. Akiza was now finished washing herself up in the washroom and was about to exit when she heard Martha speaking to Yusei.

"I know that Yusei dear. But that doesn't mean you won't someday right Yusei? You both will be living together pretty soon if I am right about you two." She winked at him making him blush slightly.

"Martha, I know that I would love to be with her all day and night everyday if I could. But she needs her space to try and get the life that she wants and I want to let her have that space. She is finally having a normal life with family, friends, and a job with a independent place to live. I want to her to be able to keep it that way for a bit longer before I ask her to live with me." He admitted.

"So when are you planning to propose to her then? Sometime next year by the sounds of it." Martha sighed hoping that he wouldn't wait that long. Akiza was now pressed against the bathroom door blushing furiously eagerly waiting for Yusei to answer. She had no idea that Yusei was thinking about marriage and living together already. She was soon rubbing her stomach realizing that it truly was meant to be that she was carrying his child. She then turned on the water in the bathroom to make it sound like she was washing herself so Yusei wouldn't think she would walk in on them talking.

"I was honestly planning to do that in a couple of weeks after I get a few more jobs done so I can afford a nice ring for her to have. I want to propose to her knowing with 100% certainty that I am ready to truly share a life together with her." He admitted with a heart filled smile across his face. Akiza now had her hands over her mouth as tears were slowly rolling down her cheeks from hearing Yusei confession. She was in a greater state of happiness now than she had ever been before in her life and all she wanted to jump out and say yes while hugging him. But she knew that she wanted to honour his wished and decided to wait until he was ready. Martha was also smiling hearing Yusei sweet words. The little boy she once raised was now not only a full grown man but a happy and respectable one that had found true love in his life.

"That's something I have hoped to hear you say for a while now Yusei. I am glad I could hear you say that with a honest and true smile." She said before hugging him. Akiza then wiped her eyes and came out trying to keep her cool as to not give herself away. She then walked over to Yusei and planned a small peck on his cheek.

"What was that for Akiza?" He asked her rubbing his cheek.

"Do I need a reason to kiss you?" She asked back jokingly.

"I guess not. Just was a bit of a surprise to have it happen so suddenly." He said before chuckling. Martha was again smiling at the two and was hoping in her mind and heart that nothing would ever break the two of them apart. 'I pray for you both to have a strong love and even stronger marriage.' Martha thought to herself before she heard footsteps from upstairs moving quickly. She as well as Akiza and Yusei looked up and saw Luna smiling and looking right at them.

"Everyone! Leo has woken up! Please, everyone upstairs!" She panted before running back upstairs. Everyone then sat up and made their way upstairs to see Leo sitting up in his bed with a disappointed look across his face. His eyes showed that he was still upset about the loss to Goodwin and at the fact that he was beaten so easily.

"Hey there Leo! It's great to see you awake! How are you feeling?!" Yusei asked him only to get no reply.

"Are you alright Leo? You don't seem happy about something, everything ok?" Akiza asked him worried that he was upset.

"I'm not happy. I'm not happy about being the weak one all the time. I can't stand it anymore! All the time I try and try and yet when it counts I am always knocked on my rear end with no effort at all! I can never protect Luna like I am supposed to because I am just not worthy of being the OLDER brother! Every time I try and be strong or be the hero I end up being helped by everyone else like Jack and Yusei!" He complained remembering his matches with Goodwin and Sayer. He never won the important matches in his book and could only win against children in a classroom. He didn't know what to do anymore now that he had lost in his mind his reason for being strong in the first place. He couldn't be strong when it truly counted nor could he in his mind be a true duellist when it counted as well. Luna was pained to see her brother in this state of mind. She wasn't sure what to say since she didn't want him to feel worse by accident in case she said the wrong thing. She knew that the mere fact that he tried to protect her was enough for her but it obviously wasn't for him.

"Come on Leo. Don't beat yourself up over that. The fact remains that you did try your best. You stood up to all your opponents with no fear whatsoever and faced them all head on. How many people your age could say they have your courage or would say that they would have been able to do the same thing?" Akiza asked trying to cheer him up.

"It doesn't change the fact that I keep losing no matter what I do! What good is courage and trying if you always fail in the end?! What's the point?!" He snapped on her slamming his fists into his bed with tears building in his eyes.

"You want to know the point? I'll TELL you the point!" Yusei snapped back getting right in Leo's face which caused him to move back.

"Yusei?" Akiza and Luna asked together stunned.

"The point is the fact that you tried to be the big brother by standing up to those that you knew were bigger and stronger than you all for the sake of your sister! It doesn't matter if you had won or lost any of those matches cause even if you did, do you honestly think any of those guys would have just accepted that and left you both alone?! If you weren't there when Sayer was pressuring Luna to go and join the Arcadia Movement she wouldn't have seen how dangerous it truly was and she would have joined them! If you weren't the way you are now then you and Luna would never have become such great friends to me! Remember the day we all first met?! You both saved me and we became friends because of your strong spirit and true love for duelling!"

"That's right Leo! You couldn't have forgotten that day could you?!" Luna agreed.

"That's new to me. I actually have never heard about how you met the twins since I was just happy we were friends. Akiza admitted. So how did you all meet?"

"I remember that day because it was truly a day that Leo and I could never forget. Luna explained.

Flashback: The rain was coming down hard out of the blue with Yusei trying to keep his balance on his duel runner on his way back home. 'Damn it all! This storm just popped out of nowhere! I can't see two feet in front of me and yet I can't stop! I better just concentrate on getting out of this storm quickly!' He thought to himself while he continued to fight the rain. As he made a sharp turn his back tire slipped off the road taking him and his runner to the skies.

"OH SHIIITTTT!" He screamed as he landed hard on a pack of concrete outside a big building with his runner crashing beside him. His body was now scratched and bruised badly from the fall as well as his lower body was in severe pain. 'Dammit! I can't get up. My body…is…' He cursed before losing consciousness. He soon woke up groggy and noticed that he was in an unfamiliar house. The inside was like a mansion with many cased antiques and valuables. There was also plenty of high-end furniture along every wall. He slowly sat up on the couch that he found himself on with a blue blanket covering him which showed that someone found him and brought him somewhere. He then put his hand to his head to feel for any bumps or scratches and found a small lump. 'Oh man. I hit pretty hard didn't I? That's why rain doesn't work well for the roads. He thought to himself still surveying the room. So I wonder where I am and who brought me here? I want to call for someone but I think I should just wait for someone instead of making a scene.' he thought as he stayed sitting down. After a few minutes he heard two younger voices coming from upstairs.

"I still think that we should tell someone about him Leo. We don't know anything about him and he could be dangerous for all we know." A young female voice said with a warning tone.

"Oh, stop worrying Luna! He needed help and he had a duel runner which means he must be a turbo duellist! This could be a great chance for u to learn some great duelling tips!" A young hyper male voice said back. Yusei watched the steps and saw two young children with bluish green hair with one in a single ponytail pulled up and the other with two. They came down and saw him looking at them both with a serious look in his eyes.

"Hey! Your awake! You sure are lucky that we found you when we did since you were in BAD shape." The young man told him as he ran right up beside him and sat down on the same couch.

"Leo! You shouldn't just go up to him like you know him! You don't know what he might do to you!" She warned him as she stayed at the foot of the stairs.

"So you both are the ones who saved me and brought me here?" He asked them trying to figure things out.

"Yep! We were on our way home on the bus from shopping when the storm hit and we wanted to get home fast." Leo started to say.

"When we got off the bus we noticed you and your runner in the middle of the sidewalk and we weren't sure what to do at first. The woman continued to explain. When Leo saw your runner beside you he just decided out of nowhere that we should bring you in regardless."

"I see. Well I do thank you both for getting me out that storm. I really should be checking my runner out to see if it can get me home once this storm blows over."

"Awww. Do you have to leave so soon? Luna and I were hoping we could learn some duelling tips from you since we don't seem to be doing well at school." Leo whined since that was one of the reasons he wanted to help him.

"YOUR the one who hasn't been doing well Leo. I am doing just fine with my grades and tests." Luna reminded him which made him pout.

"Well it would help me if I had a different partner than you all the time to practice with. I need a real challenge or I can't get any better!" He whined which made Yusei slightly chuckle.

"Well I must say, you have a lot of spirit. You seem to really enjoy duelling."

"You bet I do! It's my life! I want to be the best in the world someday and show everyone my true skills!" Leo declared like a king.

"Well I know a few other people who are much like you and they would definitely be happy to hear this." Yusei chuckled lightly.

"So what's your name anyway sir?" Luna asked him sitting on the steps.

"It's Yusei Fudo. And yes I am a turbo duellist who knows his way in duelling. If you both wish to have a duel with me then I am fine with that since I can't do anything till this storm blows over." He told them both truthfully since he would need to check his runner as well.

"Awesome! This is going to be sweet! I can't wait to finally have a real duel with a true turbo duellist!" Leo screamed jumping up and down.

"Well I honestly don't feel like duelling right now since I'm feeling slightly light headed. I will just watch you both from here." Luna told them from the sidelines.

"Alright then, let's do this!" Leo then went upstairs and got his deck and duel disk and came back and stood in front of Yusei.

"I'm ready anytime you are Leo." Yusei confirmed.

"Let's duel!" The two of them then had their duel with Yusei winning after a few turns. Leo wasn't upset at all about the outcome since it was with a true duellist. He knew that if he had won it would have either been luck or Yusei would have let him win.

"That was awesome! You truly are a real duellist! I will keep on getting better until I can beat you fair and square someday!" He declared with a smile.

"Good to hear Leo. I look forward to that day." Yusei smiled back.

"That was indeed fun to watch. You both were really into the whole duel even if it wasn't a very long one." Luna mentioned before lightly giggling. Yusei smiled while Leo was again pouting at his sister's remark. Yusei then looked outside to see the storm had gone by.

"Well it seems the storm has blown over so I better get my runner checked out and get back home."

"Thanks for duelling Leo, Yusei. He really did enjoy that as did I watching you both." She smiled seeing that she now knew that Yusei was a good person.

"Well it was fun for me too to duel someone new and meet you both. I don't think this will be the last time we see each other since you both saved me." Yusei told them letting them know that he would come back.

"Thanks Yusei!" They said together before waving goodbye. He then headed downstairs to where the garage was and found his duel runner and noticed it was still able to run. He then drove off and headed home.

End flashback

"That was all because YOU saved me Leo. YOU are the one who decided to help me and because of that we became real friends and became like a family. If not for that day, we would probably have never met and you would have had to deal with everything yourself. You are strong because you have a true heart that never lost it's light or it's reason, and I assure you that no matter how weak you may think you are, you will always be that young strong growing child who saved my life on that day." Yusei told him strongly while keeping his eyes on Leo's the whole time.

"That's right Leo. You are my one and only brother and I don't care if you make mistakes or if you fail a couple of times because I know that you always could find the strength to keep moving forward." Luna continued.

"You will become a very proud and strong duellist someday Leo. Everything takes time to become strong and firm. You will be just like Jack and Yusei someday. I can truly see that happening in the future." Akiza assured him which finally made him smile.

"I guess it really does take more time to grow up than I thought. Then I better make sure I don't make the same mistakes again." He smiled which gave him a hug from Luna. Yusei and Akiza smiled watching the twins embrace each other happily and both figured that it was time for everyone to say their goodbyes and get some well needed rest.

"I think it's time we all went home now to get some rest. We all have had a pretty hectic last few hours and I personally wouldn't mind getting some relaxation." Yusei mentioned.

"I agree with you there. I think it would be best for everyone now that we have this chance to finally feel some real freedom without the weight of those marks that we once had." Akiza agreed with him as she had enough excitement for one day.

"Yeah, I guess your both right. We should just get back to the comfort of our home now where we belong." Luna said getting her brother up out of bed.

"Well if you all are leaving then you had best make sure that you all visit me again sometime soon." Martha told them in the back as she enjoyed having the company.

"Of course we will Martha. We would never forget to visit you. We are all family, every single one of us." Luna smiled at the older woman. Now that Leo was feeling better and everyone had said what they wanted too they all got their stuff. Everyone then waved goodbye to Martha and left with Akiza and Yusei going to his runner while Leo and Luna were going to find a close bus stop.

"Thanks again for everything Yusei. You are truly a brother to the both of us." Luna smiled as she hugged him.

"No problem, Luna. I can't be everywhere or watch over everything at once, but I try and do what I can whenever possible." He assured her. The two then shared a quick hug with Leo watching hoping that he too would truly be just like Yusei once he got a bit older. 'I swear Luna, I will become someone that you can truly rely on someday! I will be a true champion duellist!' He thought as Luna came running back to him with him smiling at her.

"Ready to go home?" He asked happily.

"Yes indeed. There's no place like home after all." She joked as they then left with Yusei and Akiza watching go off laughing together.

"I truly wish I had that life. The life with a sibling always by my side instead of always growing up alone. Akiza admitted with a somewhat jealous tone.

"Akiza."

"I know it's wrong for me to think that way since I shouldn't be jealous of what those two have but I guess it's just emotions and other things acting up inside me." She sniffled.

"Don't worry about that now Akiza. It's all over anyway. Our marks are gone and now we can finally live happily without ever looking over our shoulders or worrying about securities." She smiled and lightly kissed him on his lips which he happily returned. She looked at him happily and wanted to happiness they felt right now to continue.

"Yusei, come with me to my apartment. I need to tell you something very important when we get home. I want to get back now, so please drive me home." She practically begged him. He acknowledged her desire and put her on his runner and took off to her apartment. Akiza kept quiet the entire way back to the apartment which worried Yusei. He was hoping that whatever she had to say would not make the happy day they had so far together turn sour. They soon after driving for a good while arrived at the front of Akiza's apartment. They then disembarked from the runner and entered the complex. Akiza was smiling again at the thought of being back home and went to the elevator. They made it to her floor and went to her room which they then entered together.

"So good to be back home. It feels like forever since I was here after everything that happened today." Akiza sighed happily.

"That's pretty bad considering that it was just yesterday that you were here." Yusei joked while letting out a small laugh which Akiza shared with him.

"Indeed, which is why I intend to spend my next few days off work just relaxing. After all, I better relax while I still can."

"What do you mean by that? Yusei scoffed at her choice of words. You talk as if your going to be busy the rest of your life."

"Well actually Yusei, that's what I want to tell you. Can we sit down for a minute?" She asked him leading him to the couch in the living room. He then sat down beside her while holding her right hand and waited for her to explain herself. She then took in a deep breath and let it out and decided now was the time.

"Yusei…I hope that what I'm about to say doesn't upset you or make you leave me but I have to tell you since it concerns you."

"What is it, Akiza?"

"Yusei… I'm pregnant." Her voice left out softly let strong enough for him to hear. His eyes were now saucers and his heart was beating like a drum with five drummers going all at once. He truly wasn't expecting that even though he knew full well that it was possible that it could happen to her.

"Your positive about that? He asked her calmly. You got it checked out and everything just to make sure?"

"Yes. I thought myself that I might have just been sick so I went last week to the doctor's just to see for myself. But yes, I am pregnant and I became pregnant from that night on the beach. She blushed. At least, that is what the doctor told me from how far along I am. I know that I was the one who said that my period was coming so I was the one who said it was ok, but now I realize that I have completely screwed us both up." She explained with sadness in her voice.

"What are you talking about Akiza? This is not a bad thing and besides, don't blame yourself for something that I am equally as guilty of. He told her while moving her head up to look her in the eyes. I could have stopped us that night as well but I didn't. You asked me on that trip what I would do if you did get pregnant and became a father. Back then, I wasn't sure about my answer as I told you but now I am completely sure about it."

"What do you mean Yusei?"

"When I found out that you were kidnapped by Goodwin, I felt like I lost half my soul. I was so worried about you that I realized at that moment that having you in my life is what truly makes me happy and complete. I can't see myself without you in my life Akiza and I don't ever want to be separated from you again." Akiza was now blushing hearing Yusei's confession. He now knew the truth and still was planning to stick by her all the way through this. She then jumped into his arms happily crying into his chest.

"Yusei! I love you so much!" She cried happily while he held her tightly in his arms.

"Akiza. I know that it might sound weird hearing this from me now of all times but I don't think I can wait any longer to ask you." He told her lifting her off his chest and standing up off the couch.

"Yusei?" She wondered aloud to herself as she saw him go for his jean jacket that he had hung up when they got back. He then turned around and went back into the living room and stood in front of her with a smile.

"Akiza Izinski, I have always loved and cherished you for as long as we have known each other and I know now that I truly want you not only in my life, but I want you to be the other half of it." He told her getting onto one knee and showing her a small black box.

"Oh Yusei…" She let out covering her face with her hands as tears swelled up again in her eyes.

"I have planned on doing this for awhile and even if you weren't pregnant, I was still going to ask you this Akiza so here I go. Akiza Izinski: Will you please marry me and become my wife?" He asked opening the box revealing a ring with a small rectangular shaped stone in the middle of a crusted gold band. Akiza's heart was now doing cartwheels inside her as her happiness had never been higher inside her. She was now trying to hold back her tears as she wiped her eyes and smiled wholeheartedly at Yusei.

"Yes. Yes, of course I will marry you Yusei Fudo! I would love to be your happily married wife!" She sniffled before hugging him again which he returned.

"You don't know how happy you have just made me Akiza. I can't even begin to tell you how happy you have just made me by agreeing to be my wife." Yusei told her honestly with a smile.

"And you have no idea how happy you have made me by asking me that one question." She smiled back before kissing him sweetly on his lips.

"I guess that now that we got that settled, we should tell everyone about this as soon as possible." Yusei noted as he went to get himself some water from the fridge.

"We are also going to have to make sure we make it possible for everyone to attend the wedding without any hassle or troubles." Akiza added as she followed him into the kitchen.

"Indeed. But I have a funny feeling that once we tell Martha, she'll give us both such big hugs that she'll pop our heads off like corks off of a champagne bottle." Yusei joked which got Akiza laughing hard while he poured his water and took a gulp of it.

"Well, I know one thing that is definitely going to be fun for you Yusei honey." Akiza smirked at him which caught his concern.

"And that would be…?"

"You trying to decide who your best man is going to be. I'm sure both Jack and Crow are going to be after that position like two dogs after a steak." She joked herself which had Yusei with a confident smile on his face as he quickly finished his water and put the glass down.

"I'm not worried about that at all to be honest. Crow wouldn't want that much attention especially if it has to do anything that involves him having to put on a suit or tux and get in front of a bunch of people. Jack is better suited for the job so I will just ask him. If he says no or can't then I will see if Crow can." He explained heading back to the living room until Akiza grabbed his arm.

"That makes sense to me. But now I just want to do one thing."

"What would that be baby?" She then pulled him in close and into a strong kiss which he gladly accepted.

"I just want to have some quality time alone together… with you… in my bedroom." She whispered the last bit. He smiled and knew that normally he wouldn't argue or have a problem with that request, but this time he wasn't sure it was a good idea since he wasn't sure how it would affect her pregnancy.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to get intimate since I'm honestly not sure how if will affect you." He told her concerned. Akiza smiled knowing full well that it made sense that Yusei didn't have much knowledge on the subject.

"It won't be a problem if we just fool around like we used to when we first started dating each other." She explained to him sexually while rubbing her finger around his chest. Yusei quickly got the message and picked her up gently and carried her into the bedroom. At the same time Akiza and Yusei were alone together at Akiza's apartment Jack himself was just down a ways in Carly's suite explaining as much as he could about the incident with Goodwin and the signer marks. She was typing up on her computer quickly while Jack watched her.

"This is absolutely incredible! I can't believe that Goodwin would go so far behind everyone's back and do this to you and your friends! This story will show the people that he truly is a greedy man who only cared about power like I have said all along." She explained typing away.

"That may be true, but it doesn't matter anymore because now that he owes me I plan on using his power against him." Jack stated strongly.

"How are you going to do that?"

"I'm leaving this city and going into a pro duelling league that is going to take me all around the world. I plan to become the true king of duelling that can be understood and seen by the whole world." He told her directly. Carly then stopped typing and turned him with a serious look which quickly turned into a smile.

"I knew that you were going to eventually go for that at some point since you have brought it up before. I know that you are too good to keep yourself bound to this city forever. Your desire to be out there with all those other great duelists is something that even I can understand since I know what it's like to want to try and be the best you can at something you do." She explained to him since it was the same for her job.

"This is something I have to do for myself so I can truly be happy with myself. If I don't do this now I will never forgive myself. I know it isn't fair to you that I plan on leaving you, but as I have said before, if you truly want to come with me then I will be more than happy to have you along." Carly then stared him right in the eyes knowing that he wasn't lying about bringing her with. She then turned around back in her chair and stared at her computer screen.

"Jack, I know that I would be lying if I said I didn't want to go with you so that I could be by your side all the time. But I also know that like you I want to be true to myself and stay with the job that makes me the happiest. I know that that job is being the best reporter of this city and telling the people want they want to know. I will stay here and I will wait for you to return for when you come back a true king of duel monsters." She turned back again and smiled.

"Carly…"He was about to say before she stopped him.

"Don't say anything Jack. I have already made up my mind about all this. I want to truly become as strong as you someday and the first thing I must do to become that strong is to do what I want to of my own free will and try and live my life while waiting for you to come back to me." Jack was quite shocked at how strong she already had become. She was already making her stand and doing what she truly wanted to do even if it meant being apart from someone she cared for a long time. He then put his hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"You are off to a great start to becoming strong Carly. I have no doubt that if you keep this up you will become the greatest reporter this city has ever seen." Carly smiled then stood up out of her chair and hugged Jack tightly to show her thanks for the strong yet kind words.

"I will Jack. I will truly become the best this city has ever seen and that's a fact!" She told him proudly. With that said Jack then kissed Carly deeply which she happily returned and then left her apartment smiling knowing that she truly was a woman he could himself with for the rest of his life once he returned.

A/n: Well that's another chapter done. So it seems that everybody is getting their lives settled and thought out. It's great to see Akiza and Yusei truly getting together and Jack and Carly making a commitment for after they have achieved their dreams. The end is near for this story since I only have 2 maybe 3 chapters left. Thanks to everyone who has stuck by me through this. J
