Possible(?) OOC in this chapter.

It has been two weeks since the battle with Yuto and much of life has returned to normal. Only difference is that now Yuzu and Yuya are officially together, imagine the press when they heard that two celebrities are dating. Luckily for most of the time, Yuya and Yuzu are able to escape the mob because Yugi, Judai, Yusei, and Yuma cut them off or gave them a lift when they needed it the most. There were times that Yuya and Yuzu was able to get away on their own, usually involving their Duel Monsters in a variety of new ways they never thought possible. But today is one of the more lax days, allowing the group to be a little more relaxed while still keeping an eye out for the unexpected.

"You know... I think I'm getting sick of eating burritos everyday..." Yuma commented as he looked at his food with disgust. "Hey, they're free! And anything free tastes delicious!" Judai said, taking a bite of a burrito before his face began expressing nausea. "Okay... Free doesn't taste so good anymore..." Judai grumbled before drinking some water. "Are you two sure we aren't a third wheel or anything?" Yugi asked, directing his question to the couple across from him. "No, it's fine. After all, misery loves... Wait, wrong metaphor..." Yuya began before stopping. "Yuya, just eat your food..." Yuzu commented. "Even so, if we are making both of you uncomfortable, just say the word and we'll leave." Yusei replied. "As much as Judai is probably going to make things awkward, I enjoy you guys being with us from time to time. Makes everything much more... Welcoming?" Yuya said, confused to what word he should use. "Anything for you buddy. So are you guys getting married anytime soon?" Yuma asked.

Yuya and Yuzu looked at each other before answering, a light blush forming on the two's faces. "Well... We aren't exactly jumping the shark just yet. We're going to take things slow and experience the things we missed before." Yuzu replied, slightly embarrased by the question. "Yeah, there is a lot of things we still have to catch up on too. So I wouldn't rush into marriage just yet." Yuya added. "Take your time you two. You earned your right to live a happy life, so enjoy every minute of it." Yusei replied. "We will. Thank you Yusei." Yuya thanked. "Quick question you two..." Judai said as Yuya and Yuzu looked at him. "Did you two have sex yet?" Judai asked casually.

Yuma began choking and coughing up food bits the moment those words were spoken out. Yusei, face in the palm of his hand, began shaking his head in shame at such a question. "Judai!" Yugi yelled. "What!? It's an honest question!" Judai replied. "Care to explain why?" Yusei asked. "Look, there is nothing wrong with having a healthy sex drive. In fact, I know a few relationships that failed because of a poor drive. I'm just getting an idea where their relationship is right now so we, as friends, can help them when something goes wrong." Judai explained. " That makes sense... I think..." Yuma mumbled before drinking some water. "Well there you go. So have you two..." Judai began, only to stop upon seeing Yuya and Yuzu's reactions.

The two weren't looking at each other or anyone else. Yuzu was looking at an arbitrary spot on the ground while Yuya was looking out the window, whistling an awkward tune. Both of their faces were redder than the red half of Yuya's hair, and that is all Judai needs to determine what happened. "Oh, I see what happened… Now I'm wondering just how you managed to get into her pants..." Judai said before he began thinking with a sly grin on his face. "Ummm... Yusei... I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable right now..." Yuya said, face still red from the question. "I can understand why..." Yusei replied, eyes looking at the still pondering Judai. "I think we out stayed our welcome..." Yuma said as he got up. "I agree... Let's go before Judai-kun does something else." Yugi agreed as he got up. "Wait! Hold on I haven't finished eating!" Judai yelled before being grabbed and dragged away by Yusei and Yuma. "That's what you get for asking the wrong questions." Yusei replied. "Don't worry, there will be plenty of beans for you to eat back at HQ." Yuma added. "Not the beans! You'll never take me alive! Never! Never!" Judai yelled as the four left the building.

After a few minutes of settling the awkward tension down, Yuya began talking again. "Hey listen... Do you want to go for a walk?" Yuya asked, still embarrassed by the whole ordeal. "Sure..." Yuzu said as the two got up. "Are you going to do what I think you are going to do?" Yuzu asked as the two left the building. "Depends, if no one bothers us, we can finally have an enjoyable walk together. Just you, me, and that rapidly... Approaching... Mob..." Yuya replied before seeing a whole horde of people sprinting their way. "Yuya..." Yuzu said, getting ready to jump. "I know..." Yuya grumbled as he pulled out his duel disk. And so, the Capital gets to see once more a dragon play in traffic as it tries to lose a horde of fanatic individuals.

Yuya and Yuzu finally lost the crowd, but only after two hours of pursuit that they managed to accomplish that. "I can't believe we got away..." Yuzu said before throwing herself on a bench. "I told you Odd-Eyes could jump across rush hour traffic..." Yuya replied, sitting next to her in the process. "I know, but I'm still trying come down from the adrenaline high..." Yuzu said, still trying to calm down. "Just like old times huh?" Yuya asked. "Just like old times... I'm glad you found me Yuya." Yuzu replied. "And I'm glad you found me. Things are really more enjoyable with you around." Yuya said in response before the two clasped hands. "I always wished things would be like this back then... It's nice..." Yuzu commented, moving her body closer to Yuya before resting her head on his shoulder. "Sometimes I wish that too, but I wouldn't change anything for the world. I got to grow up in so many ways I never thought imaginable. Though it's a shame we're not going to have any kids..." Yuya replied. "It's okay, we don't need kids to prove we love each other. In fact, it could be more fun..." Yuzu said as she gave Yuya a seductive look. "Wow... Umm... Feeling slightly turned on and awkward right now Yuzu..." Yuya commented, eyes looking around to see if anyone is watching.

Yuzu gave her lover a kiss on the check before resting her head again, content with just being with Yuya. "You've really loosened up since when we were kids. I remember you hit me every time I did something outrageous or something you didn't like. " Yuya commented. "I'm sorry if it hurt. I just didn't know how to deal with my emotions back then. But everything is better now, you're here and that's all that matters." Yuzu apologized. "Apology accepted. I love you Yuzu..." Yuya said. "I love you too Yuya..." Yuzu replied, raising her head. The two looked at each other, eyes filled with warmth as their faces moved closer to the other. Eyes of crimson and pale cerulean closed as their lips meet together in a passionate kiss. The long search for the other was over... After many trials... After many internal conflicts... Here these two are... Holding each other as the world finally gave them what many searches for...

A happy end...

And that, is the end to Longing Reunion. We came a long way since the first post in January. From the highs to the lows, we have made it through this fan work. This may not be the best Arc-V fiction, but I hope that you, dear readers, consider it good enough to return to one day. As for me, this has been a great learning experience. Anyway, please leave a review about the whole story, it's worth ALL the gold, all of it. Also, if you leave a review, include your reactions to the events occurring in Arc-V, I am interested in reading just what you guys think of the show.

In other news, I have posted two new Fan Fictions titled "Fan Fictioner's Guide to Sanctuary" and "Skaia HS: Senior Year". The first is the official guide to Sanctuary, the world that existed in me and my bro's head. And hopefully with the release of this work, others could enjoy that world as well. This guide will expand upon all those little facts that I included in the earlier chapters of Longing Reunion, and add new ones that I could not condense into small paragraphs. The other is a fan fiction about the webcomic Homestuck, and whether or not you are familiar with it, please give it a chance.

That is everything I have to say. So...

Until next time... T1
