Yusei Fudo x Reader

Chapter 12

Akiza was calling out to you, "Y/N please!" You then heard a familiar voice add, "Y/N please don't do this to us! We've been so worried!" Yusei. You froze with uncertainty and felt your heart sink. You heard Yusei tell Akiza, "Akiza, go back to the warehouse. I think that will be one place Y/N will pass by. I'm going to keep searching here." Akiza nods, "Alright, but be careful." Yusei said, "I will."

You knew that he would try to find you. You saw a wall and silently sprinted towards it. You hid yourself behind it, hoping that it would hide you for a bit longer. You could hear him speak again, "Y/N please! If you're here then say something!" You went silent at his sudden plea.

Yusei felt frustrated. He wasn't able to find you inside the cave. He then saw a slight opening from one side of the cave. 'She's probably there!', he thought to himself. He went towards the space, he then saw the space grow wider as he walked. Yusei's glimmer of hope grew, maybe he would find you after all.

You heard footsteps, making you freeze as they came closer to you. You slid yourself further along the wall, silent as you did so. Thank god that he couldn't see you duel runner or Yusei would know right away that you were there. You heard Yusei's voice once more, "I don't know why you're hiding, Y/N. I just want to talk with you. I thought that you disappeared for good! Please I'm begging you! I just want to know if you're okay. I can't stop thinking about what happened before." Was he talking about your first fight? He slowly continued, "If something ever happened to you I would never forgive myself. When I first found out that you had disappeared, I thought that you had gone to the warehouse to visit the others. When I heard that you weren't there, my heart sank with worry." You could slowly feel your heart sink lower and lower as you heard Yusei speak. You never wanted to hurt him, you just wanted what's best for the both of you. You didn't know what, but you knew it meant distancing yourself from him.

Yusei kept walking along the pathway within the cave. He had a couple of scratches on his cheek from bumping into several rocks on the sides of the walls. The path was long but he thought that if it was just to find you, then it was worth the long trek. All he had to do now, was find you. Easier said than done. The path winded around a small waterfall, making it harder for Yusei to navigate. He was determined to find you, no matter what happened.

You leaned against the wall, hearing Yusei's footsteps grow closer and feeling your hiding spot grow smaller. You would eventually be found by Yusei. You felt your eyes wander around the place you were currently in. You wished that you didn't have to hide your true feelings towards Yusei. You just hoped that no one would become angry with you over this.

Yusei saw the pathway end, he then saw another wall. He walked towards it and then saw a duel runner. 'Y/N has to be here!', he thought. Why would you hide from everyone? That puzzled him a bit. As Yusei walked towards the runner, he saw a figure leaning against the wall.

You turned your head when you heard someone calling out to you. Yusei. You froze with shock. How did he find you? Before you could apologize profusely, Yusei pulled you into his arms. Yusei said, "Don't ever scare us like that, Y/N! We thought that something bad had happened to you!" You lifted your head to be met with Yusei's sad blue eyes. You dropped your head only to have Yusei respond, "Hey. Look at me." You kept your head down, not wanting to see Yusei's eyes. You looked up and saw the look in his eyes. Pure sadness and worry. You didn't say anything.

You rode on the back of Yusei's runner, yours being attached to the end of Yusei's. You finally spoke, "I-I....I thought that if I left that I would be protecting all of you. I didn't want you all to get hurt because of me. I would never forgive myself." Yusei responds, "Why would you be hurting us? You've been helping us a lot, Y/N. You've even saved us from turning into shadow soldiers." You went quiet once more as Yusei drove you both back to the bakery where everyone waited.
