The Stardust and Rose

1. Our Past Memories

            Still having time left on their clocks before worked started, both Yusei and Akiza asked each other out for coffee. They chose to go to a café near each other's jobs places...

            They talked for so long, they had no other topics to talk about, but their past and previous memories they had...

"Hey Yusei, you remember how we first met? It was so romantic, and fun us Dueling and you fighting for me..." Contently said Akiza

Puzzled Yusei said "Romantic...? I wouldn't say that, but hey it's your preference?"

"What? It was totally romantic!" Exclaimed Akiza "I was lost, with pain and hurt controlling over me, all I did was cause sorrow to people, yet you still came to help me find my way back! I'm here because of you!"

"..."

"...That day..." quietly said Akiza

--Fortune Cup Tournament Semi Finals--

             As the semifinals, of the Fortune Cup commenced it presented the two strongest duelists clashing against each other! Yusei Fudo vs. Akiza Izinski!

             Both Akiza and Yusei played their signature cards: Black Rose Dragon and Stardust Dragon. Clashing against each other in a reckless battle, Yusei dove into the dangers of Black Rose Dragon, to bring back Akiza to her senses.

"Akiza stop this! You're hurting the people watching, and most of all yourself! Come back to me; Yusei Fudo!" Shouted Yusei

"Shut up! You don't know what it feels like to be hated by people, being bashed opon, and most of all being thrown aside by your parents!" Exclaimed Akiza

             Ordering Black Rose Dragon to attack Stardust Dragon dealing physical harm to Yusei, but to the crowd also; who were watching the duel.

"I may not have not known my parents for that long before they died, but I do know how you feel being out casted by your friends & society! I'm from the satellite so I know exactly how it feels to be dismissed by society!" Said Yusei

              Commanding a spell, Yusei destroys the Black Rose Dragon and deal piercing damage towards Akiza directly!

"You may have been hated by society, friends, and family, but there's a person here welcoming you and accepting you for you are! I am here, you can become my friend and I won't hate for that!" Shouted Yusei

             Kneeing on the ground destruct, with her whole body shivering, lips clenched, head tilting downwards Akiza lays in front of Yusei...

The Duel ends, with Yusei going to the Finals of the Fortune Cup...

--Back into the present--

"...Those were the days, exciting it was, but I would still rather live in our current situation, than the Dark Signer filled life we had to cope with." Said Yusei

"True..." Said Akiza "Hey Yusei, I just want to say thank you...for everything"

"Don't be talking like that Akiza, I knew what the consequences were from the start, and I accepted those conditions, and here we are!" Said Yusei

"Yeah, but I do mean it from the bottom of my heart, Thank you Yusei..." Said Akiza

             Blurred in the moment, this closely resembled the incident after the Dark Signers fight Akiza & Jack Atlas had.

             It happened during the end of a duel, the building started to collapse, and she became engulfed under debris. A friend of hers came to rescue, and escort the people out of the building.

Left with no major injuries, Akiza remained in an incurable coma...

             Arising from her coma after Yusei arrives to help her; he is accompanied by her parents. Grinding her teeth, with no emotion in her eyes towards her parents; she made distance as much as she could between her parents.

             Arose a senseless battle between Yusei & Akiza, all she had on her mind was to destroy everyone from existence. Each time she called one of her plant monsters to attack, it turned her heart darker.

             In no time Yusei brought up the challenge to save Akiza once again from the clutches of the darkness in her heart...

"Please stop this Akiza! I'm sorry, I recognize now that you carry special powers that I am afraid of, and I took granted of you which distanced us. I learned now, I made this happen so please...come back to Mother and me!" Exclaimed Akiza's Dad

"...No, after all what you did. I can't just go back to you..." Said Akiza

'I need to talk some sense into this girl...' Thought Yusei

"Akiza, come back to us, what your father meant was true." Said Yusei

"What do you think, I'll believe in you, and how do you know it won't be like before?" Exclaimed Akiza

"Akiza, of course they were scared of your powers, but they knew that you were scared of what's happening, but it was too late before they realized it." Said Yusei

"What, they didn't realize it, they just pushed me away!" Shouted Akiza

"Look at what happened with me, I found people who would love and accept me for whom I am, and now I have people who back me up, and love me!" Said Yusei

"..."

"...So please come back to us our Little Rose..." Said Akiza's Dad

              Suddenly numerous stone bricks came soaring towards Akiza's parents, lips biting, hands clenching with all of her might, Akiza used all she had inside her to stop the debris from hitting her parents.

              In an instant, the debris yielded from its original course, and settled down on the ground. "...I stopped it; I stopped the stones from hitting my parents! I controlled my powers!" Happily exclaiming Akiza

"..."

"Ahhh...Now that she's gone back her sense that does the deed for today..." Said Yusei

               Sighing after the situation ended, a hand suddenly came from behind me, and started to tug on my jacket; it was Akiza...

"...Yusei, I didn't tell you this before but thank you for what you've done, you saved before and even now. I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart, thank you Yusei..Fudo..." Said Akiza

Suddenly Akiza gave a peck on Yusei's lips.

              Both cheeks and ears were beaming, a bright red-ish pink. Soon after that, they greeted each other a "Good Night" and left in their separate ways 

"Akiza..."
