Satellite Shooting Star

Chapter 8: Unite to Duel

The next day, I saw Akiza feeling down as she went to a nearby garden. I followed her as she was staring at a thorny red rose. Cautiously, I approached her. "Akiza?"

No answer.

"Akiza?" I asked again.

She slowly turned to me, giving me a sad smile. "Sorry, must've zoned out." She was lying, I could see it in her eyes.

I took a couple steps closer towards her as she turned to face me fully. "Akiza, I know you're hurting because Sayer was the only person who treated you like family and I know I can't fully understand the pain you went through and what you're in but, to be honest, you deserve to be treated better than me."

"Why do you say that?" She questioned.

"You're originally from the city, but I was born in the Satellite, and people here don't take too kindly to street rats like me and Yusei. Sayer kidnapped me and tried to use me back in the Satellite; I also lost a friend and just got reunited with two of them... You deserve to be treated like a person while I'm just a girl from the streets who's lived alone almost all her life..."

"Don't say that... I think you're very kind and always try to help anyone you can, even a bitter soul like me..."
I reached out to grab Akiza's Hanson my own as her golden brown eyes met my Royal blue ones. "Come on, I think I know the one thing that can cheer any "bitter soul" up." She looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Let's go shopping."

"Shopping?"

"We'll go in different stores, look around, try stuff on, whatever you wanna do. It'll be fun, I promise."

She nodded wit a smile. "Okay."

Akiza and I spent at least half the day shopping around all the stores. We finally came back a little after 1 in the afternoon with all the things we bought as Akiza was wearing a pretty new red sundress while I was wearing a cute pair of ripped shorts with some black tights underneath and a new blue top and blazer that actually covered my stomach this time. My blazer was blue while my shirt was blue and spaghetti strap. I then noticed both Jack and Yusei arguing on the other side of the room, no one paying any attention them, except maybe Leo at times.

(A\N: Sam wears this outfit for the remainder of the story.)

"It's not my fault you lost the Fortune Cup!" Yusei shouted.

"I was supposed to win! I'm the king!" Jack retorted. The two then went into an all out fist fight, rolling around on the floor.

I huffed, dropping my bags on the floor as I went over to the two bozos. "That's enough!!" I shouted.

The two obviously didn't hear me as they just kept on fighting. I growled this time, getting impatient. I reached over and grabbed both of their ears, tearing them apart from each other.

"That's enough you two! You're acting just the same as you did back in the Satellite: children!"

Both Yusei and Jack growled at each other. My eye twitched as I grabbed their ears again, yanking them towards me. "Are you listening, Jackie? What about you Yusi-boy?"

I threw them back as they both rubbed their ears, now looking me straight in the eye as they could see the anger burning in them. "You two grew up together as children! You might as well be brothers and brothers look out for each other. I grew up all by myself, so be lucky you have each other. Just because you two are men doesn't mean I can't still kick your asses into next week. Play nice or else."

"Or else what?" Jack taunted.

I sent him a glare. "Don't push me, Jackie."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door as Jack went to answer it, both him and Yusei making themselves look decent. Jack was then attacked wit a hug by a woman with short, blue hair.
