I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long! I know this is short, but I've hit writers block. I'm working on… 4 or 5(?) fanfics at once, plus I have an essay to work on for school and a fundraising essay to write for my mission trip this summer, which is proving surprisingly hard. o.e Anyway, if you have any ideas, message them to me or put them in your review. Thanks for reading, please enjoy!

"Oomph!"

The couple bounced slightly as their fall was broken by something soft, huge, and squishy. Street fighting had taught Yusei how to avoid having the wind knocked out of him, but the fall had been unexpected and Aki's safety had been his first concern. As such, he lay still, attempting to get his breath back while Aki jumped off him.

"Daijoubu ka?!" she asked, leaning over the raven-and-gold-haired man worriedly,

Yusei nodded, only just regaining the ability to breath. "… Ah." Sitting up, he felt around. Aki did the same.

"What is this? Where are we?" Her voice was instinctively hushed in the darkness. There was no light, wherever they were.

"Is this… a bed?" Yusei's voice was the same.

"…"

Although most people would feel awkward at finding themselves on a bed, in the dark, all alone with the person they liked, Yusei Fudou and Aki Izayoi were not exactly normal and practicality overruled awkward emotions. So they began searching around again.

The bed was huge, king sized, but the couple eventually found the edge of it. After that they proceeded to search the rest of the room. And after half an hour of that, Aki was beginning to get mad. They had found nothing in the dark room aside from the bed, a nightstand, a winged armchair and a potted plan; there were no doors.

Pouting, Aki flopped herself onto the bed, inadvertently pulling Yusei to her. He sat next to her on the bed and leaned back. The King of Duels took in a big breath and exhaled, saying soothingly, "Calm down." You can't think clearly when you're angry, was clearly but silently added.

Aki shot a semi-glare at the man, but took in a deep breath, reigning in her emotions. She let it out, air and anger, as she fell back next to him. After a moment, Aki opened her eyes and glanced at the man beside her. All she could make out were his eyes; they seemed to be lost in thought, most likely about how to get out of there. Cobalt blue, like the depths of the ocean, perfect sapphires…

Suddenly Aki twisted her torso around, propping herself on her elbows, squinting over Yusei's head. He glanced at her questioningly, noticing the change. "What is it?"

"I think I see something," she said. The rose duelist moved forward, leaning over Yusei and brushing her fingers over the glowing spot; it was a hole. Aki stuck her finger in and tugged, removing a square of the head board. Inside, there were two circular holes with a sign over them reading: "For the lovely couple – Step 1: Each of you put one hand in."

Aki glanced at Yusei as he shifted to a sitting position. Trying to ignore the fact that she was still leaning over the blue-eyed man, she focused on the strange sign and circular openings. It was either a way out or a trap. Possibly both.

Yusei shrugged. What did they have to lose? After all, the twins led them here, and those two wouldn't lead them to anything dangerous. The duelists raised their hands, Yusei his left and Aki her right, and stuck them in the openings.

A click resounded and something slapped over their wrists. Aki jumped slightly and pulled her hand back. As she did, the material between the two holes broke apart as Yusei's hand was pulled out with Aki's. They were hand-cuffed together.

"What in the world?!" cried Aki.

She vainly tugged at the cuffs, but they didn't give.

"There must be a key here somewhere," Yusei stated.

Amber eyes glanced up at cobalt blue, both shaded by the darkness but glittering with the reflecting of the light coming from the square hole. "What makes you so sure?" the rose duelist asked, keeping her frown in place. She wanted to believe him; for some reason, being hand-cuffed to Yusei gave her a weird, fluttery feeling in her stomach. Shifting her weight to one leg, she waited for his answer.

All the same, Yusei simply shrugged in a sort of silent why not? Then he nodded at the sign. "This is "Step 1" which means there should be a step two; these might lead to a way out."
