Destined to be Yours

Chapter 93: Unexpected Event

"Akia-san! Can I have your autograph?"

"Yugi-kun! Are you free after school?"

"Akia-chan, please go out with me!"

"Yugi-kun, you look so cute today!"

The twins sighed at all the attention they were getting. It hadn't let up at all since the end of Battle City. It even actually seemed like it was getting worse. The amount of confessions Akia was getting made her almost numb to them at this point. With Yugi, the girls would invite him for ice cream, spend lunchtime with him and talk to him more in general, to Anzu's dismay.

It had been almost a week since Marik and her stopped talking. She was getting more sleep, but she was feeling a lot more down than before, which made her quite cranky. She'd gone out with Mai the day before, but, just like at school, both of them couldn't have a moment of peace, considering how Mai had also gotten her fair share of fanboys.

"Let's look on the bright side, Akia-chan. At least our meals and drinks are always paid for when we go out now," Mai had told her after one of their fans offered to pay for them.

"I guess... But I don't know if it's worth all of this hassle," Akia had replied.

"I see you've been catching up on your sleep, at least."

"I have. Never thought it'd feel this horrible, though. I'd almost rather not sleep at all than to not talk to Marik for this long," the red-eyed girl had said in between sips of her coffee.

"Lighten up, honey, the week is almost over. You'll be talking to your boo again pretty soon," Mai had tried to reassure her.

Akia went to sit on her desk, ignoring the horde of fans gathering around her. She almost regretted arriving earlier at school because now she had to suffer through the constant stream of attention from the fanboys for another thirty minutes.

Suddenly, Akia decided to get up and run out the classroom, hoping to lose her pursuers. She ran outside, and was able to get away from everyone after running through most of the courtyard to confuse them as to where she was going. Just as she was able to catch her breath, her back leaning on the school building's wall, she heard footsteps approaching. She quickly looked to who it was and saw a boy that she did not recognize.

"Akia-chan... Is everything alright?" He asked.

She let out an annoyed sigh. "It was, until you found me, whoever you are. Why are you calling me Akia-chan, we're not even friends..."

"I'm a third year actually. The name's Issei Junta," he replied with a smile.

"Well, Issei-senpai, I'd like to be alone, please." Akia replied dryly, not even looking at him.

However, instead of leaving, he just walked closer. "Akia-chan, I was hoping to get to know you better. You're so cute, you're like my ideal type."

Akia was starting to get uneasy with how close he was getting. "Well, I'm not interested, so if you won't leave, I will-"

As she was going though, the boy held her wrist, keeping her from leaving. "Let go of me!" She exclaimed.

"Akia-chan, at least give me a chance. You don't have to be so rude," he reprimanded her.

"I told you I'm not interested, now let go!" Akia reiterated, but his grip only got stronger, causing her to wince in pain. "Ow...!"

"Just one kiss! I'll prove to you I'm worth it!"

"Let go of me, you creep!"

"Get your hands off of her!" A familiar voice ordered from behind them. Akia's eyes widened, wondering if she was dreaming of this was reality.
