Chapter 7 - Manners

"Why did you do that?!" came the startled yell of a raven haired teen. "Don't ignore me, damnit! Why the hell did you go after her like that?!" the young signer continued, trying to get an answer, but still getting nothing.  He literally forced his body to a halt, and he heard a deep growling as he did so. "Damnit Answer me -" his words were brought to a close as he was interrupted quickly.

"Will you shut up, Yusei?! We don't have time for your whining! We have ground to cover before that blond haired buffoon catches up to us." A voice similar the Yusei's own growled back at him. Yusei said nothing in response. "Now will you just be a good boy and shut up?!" with another snapping reply, Yusei felt his body being tugged into a run again, and the young signer only growled.

~~~~~ 3 Hours Ago ~~~~~

It had been about an hour or two since Crow had left for work, and all that could be heard in the garage of Team 5D's was the sounds of Yusei Fudo working on their D-wheels. After fixing a few parts on his own D-wheel he had noticed that a couple panels of the Wheel of Fortune were dented, so he rolled his eyes and went to fixing the problem. However, of course once he fixed one problem he found another. So Yusei was completely absorbed into his work when the front door opened. He didn't hear the clanking of steps down their metal stairs, and he certainly didn't hear the intense stare he was getting as the 'trespasser' stood in wait for his attention.

"What do you want, witch?" Yusei heard Jack's voice snarling from the upper corner of the room.  He was right too, Jack standing at the top of the stairs, his newspaper rolled up in one hand. The blond only received a glare from large brown eyes as the woman folded her arms over her chest.

"I'm not here to talk to you, Jack. I'm here to talk to Yusei." she snapped, turning her attention back to the oblivious mechanic. She still got no response from the boy. Tapping her foot faster, as she was growing impatient, she spoke up again. "Yusei! Yusei Fudo I am not going to stand here all day!" her voice was soon followed by a clanking sound and Yusei pulling himself out from under his current project.  Rubbing the top if his head, one eye clenched shut for a moment he looked at the woman standing before him.

"Oh! Aki!…." he droned off for a moment, feeling bad that he was ignoring his friend. "…When did you get here?" he asked still rubbing the sore spot on his head.  "That really hurt he mumbled under his breath."

"I've been standing here for at least 10 minutes, Yusei! You really need to learn to play more attention. You shouldn't let people sneak up on you like that." she snapped, still tapping  her foot. Her posture told Yusei she was in an obvious mood.  While the woman continued to give the other signer a glare down, Jack simply rolled his eyes at the two and left the room.

"Oh. Sorry Aki." Yusei dropped his head a little bit at her tone. "Well did you need something? If it's homework help, can I help you out in a few hours?" She only narrowed her eyes at him.

"Damnit, Yusei! Why do you keep pushing everyone away? I didn't come over here to get your help! I want to know why you told Rua and Ruka they couldn't come over here anymore!" she spat at him, leaning forward as if to get into his face, trying to emphasize her point.  She saw him pull back a little, his eyes widened ever so slightly. She could obviously tell he was going to try to avoid the question, so she only narrowed her eyes at him.

"It's not a big deal, Aki. I just need time to focus for the Grand Prix…"  he started, trying to avoid the topic in general. He heard snickering in the back of his mind and his face reflected it - little to his knowledge.

"You're going to tell her the truth are you Yusei?" the voice in his head taunted him with a smug tone. "You're not going to tell her that you're afraid of me. Yusei's face was reflecting his hidden fear as the spirit spoke. He took a step backwards, zoning into the spirit's continuous taunting, he hit his work bench and placed a hand down.

Aki took a step towards him, holding out a hand. He was acting strange. He spaced out. She was on her guard, but at the same time was concerned for her friend. Aki hadn't seen Yusei act like this before. Ever since that day… that time a few weeks ago he just kept growing more and more distant from everyone.

"Yusei?" her voice echoed as she took another step towards him. She froze however as there was a small laugh admitted from him. He was holding himself up with one hard, neck bent over holding his head with his other hand. He kept chuckling, as his hair changed… spiked wildly. "Yusei?"  she chimed again, reaching out for his shoulder.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME, WITCH!" he growled at her suddenly jerking himself up right - both eyes open. His left was a wild red, piercing and angry; while the right was wide and afraid, the dark friendly blue she could always find comfort in. His hand flew back quickly, sending a near by glass flying in her direction. She jerked herself upright, and the glass shattered in mid-air before her, the glass clattering to the ground.  Her eyes narrowed at him, now she knew she had to be ready to fight. She took a step back as he began to prowl forward, glaring her down with a wicked smile. "So, little Miss Witch… I'm so glad to see you again." The Signer's voice made her body shake. She felt a shuttered snake up her spine as an all to familiar pain flared into her right arm. Her eyes went wide, the mark on his arm too - lit up - except it was shining a bright purple instead of the familiar red their marks normally admitted.

"Yu-Yusei?" She stuttered, as she continued to back away from him. She could hear him growl as she spoke.

"Do NOT call me by his name!!" he growled, and he only grinned as her eyes went wide. He moved his right hand, to fingers extended forward towards his open right eye - the shining blue eye. "So let's not let him interfe--" he began before he felt his arm freeze, his red eye going wide.

"Aki Get Away from me! I'm not myself! Run Away!" the boy sounded suddenly and Aki's eyes went wide. His voice sounded different again… it sounded like… Yusei…like normal Yusei…just what in the world…

"Did you NOT Hear him!? MOVE YOUR ASS, Witch!" a strong voice shook the room, freezing the two in place temporarily. Both gazes shot up to see Jack tossing himself over the railing of the stairs and sprinting towards the raven haired boy.

Yusei felt his mind snap, and his body's control being torn away from him. "Back for a second round, Eh Former King?!" He heard his voice snarl at the blonde smugly and he didn't know what to do. Jack came at him, tackling him to the ground. He felt his back crack as he hit the pavement and the blonde's weight pinning him down.

"Why are you STILL Standing there?! GO!" The blonde growled at the magenta haired woman. "This is not something you can handle! Get OUT of here!" He growled, while his fellow signer, thrashed for his freedom. Aki only shook her head at the scene, unsure of what to do. "GO DAMNIT!" He growled a final time, the girl giving a nod and running out the front door. Purple eyes re-shifted their gaze to the raven haired teen on the floor. He growled upon seeing a smug gaze on the boy's face.

"Awwww, you scared her off, Jack-kun." he spoke in a pouty voice that was obviously mocking the blonde. "I wasn't going to do anything…" he paused pushing his elbows against the floor, digging his knees into the larger male's stomach. "…too BAD!" he smirked, forcing himself upwards, shoving Jack's weight off his frame, and he sprung to his feet.  The blond was soon on his feet as well and tossing a punch towards to smaller male.

"I find that hard to believe, you bastard. You're lucky Crow is still looking out for Yusei." he growled back at him, clenched both his fists. Yukei smirked at the taller man, narrowing an eye at him.
"Ooh? And why is that?" he spoked, mocked again.

"Simple. Because I don't have a problem…" Jack threw a punch forward landing it into Yusei's left cheek, causing him to stumble backwards. "….Breaking your face."

Yukei turned his head to the side and spat blood to the floor. He rubbed his jaw for a moment, glaring fire at the blonde. He didn't say a word. He simply clenched his own fist and drilled on into Jack's cheek in return. Soon both boys were in an all out war. They were trading punches back and forth, knocking each other into counters, knocking things over, and using anything they could as a weapon. Yukei laid a  hand on a close counter, swatting the miscellaneous screws and blots at Jack. The blond moved out the way, only to counter with a punch to his opponent's stomach. Yukei growled as he doubled over, his hands wrapping around his middle. Taking this pause to his advantage, he quickly caught the king off guard swinging a low kick to the back Jack's knee. The Spirit smirked seeing the blond, tumble to the ground upon the impact of the blow.

"I see that leg is still bothering you Jack. Good to know, I hit you that hard last time." he taunted. "Now, if you'll excuse me…I have a certain witch to chat with." he turned with a grin and began to walk towards the door. Back turned, and guard dropped he didn't expect it when Jack brought himself back to his feet and grabbed the boy forcing him to the ground again. Eyes wide he struggled to force the larger male off of him again. He hissed feeling glass dig into his bear shoulder. After a few minutes, and a few more cuts he managed to finally free himself, and darted towards the door, gripping his arm tightly. "Damn that Jack." he growled aloud as he darted down the sidewalk. He could feel everyone - all of the signers through his mark. It was such a useful little tool. That bird brain was racing back to their home. That Blonde haired bastard was struggling to find his balance, but he would be hot on their trail soon, the small child was alert but no where around, and finally that woman… that witch… she was still running, still furious…still with so much on her mind.. And he would catch her soon.

~ Current Time ~

Yusei was still growling as he felt his body moving closer and closer to Aki. Yukei was equally annoyed with him, he could tell by the spirits dead silence. Yusei was still so confused as to what was going on. He didn't understand how he could feel like a passenger in his own body. Yukei was still clutching their shoulder as they ran, every step bring them closer and closer to her.  His eye went wide when he saw her. He saw the familiar tails of her dress flowing behind her as she ran. Before he knew it, he was standing before her, blocking her way.  "Going somewhere?" he spoke, grinning at her with a coy look.  She froze growling at him, narrowing her eyes. His lips just curved into a smug victorious grin. Yukei only grinned wider as he felt Yusei starting to fight him, however the purple light on his arm only shone brighter as he held the first two fingers of his right hand over the top of his right eye. "Now it's about time we talked alone, Ms. Witch." he Cooed at her as he drug his fingers down, the eye closing leaving the looks of a purple scar over the now closed blue eye.  He began to prowl towards her again, and Aki soon found her back to the wall. He leaned over her, placed one hand to the side of her head. "Now then… I do believe you owe me for the last time we met!" he shouted, moving in quickly to grab her around the throat with his free hand. His eye shot wide however when he felt a tight grip wrap around his wrist and tug his arm backwards. He looked over his shoulder to see long blue locks framing the golden piercing as they glared at him.

"The Yusei Fudo I know has more manners than to ever strike a lady."
