Forgotten

AU (I bolded this for a reason because I already know what happens in the show. That's kind of what AU means, that the plot has no relation to the show). The Fudo family is very high in the Neo Domino City community. Yusei Fudo is heir to the Fudo family fortune and is caught up in an arranged marriage with Hoshiko Hamasaki, the heiress of the Hamasaki fortune who's in truth, only interested in the money Yusei could possibly inherit. What happens when Yusei falls in love with their family's new maid, Aki? Will she be able to help him discover that Hoshiko isn't really in love with him?

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Jungle

It was a very sunny day in the city. The streets were mild as people took walks around the city, spending their weekend in peace. That was the life for regular people. However, Yusei Fudo was not one of those regular people in the city. He was dressed up in a suit for an interview with the headmistress at the most prodigous college in the city, the University of Kobayashi. His family was the most known in the city community. They weren't stuck up about it like other high class families, but they didn't hide it that much either.

I'd rather be doing something else than to be here at an interview. This suit is really freaking stuffy! Yusei thought, moving his tie around. He felt it was always his father's dream to have him go to this particular university because this is where he went to college and where he graduated and blah blah blah.

"Hello, Mr. Fudo." The woman greeted, shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you." Yusei responded, smiling, God I wish I could get out of here!

As the headmistress started explaining the cirriculum to Yusei, he sat there pretending to be attentive. In reality he was bored out of his mind. Ever since he could remember, he never got to do things that normal kids got to do. When he was little, he used to hang with kids his parents set up play dates for whether he knew them or not. While other children played on the playground, he stayed inside with a private tutor to do extra work over the summer to prepare for the next school year. Now that he was older, he had more freedom. Yet, he still felt trapped under his parents.

"It was nice meeting you, Mr. Fudo. We look forward to seeing you in the fall." The woman said, shaking his hand.

"Thank you." Yusei replied, leaving the headmistress' office. While Yusei casually walked out of the school, he felt his phone vibrating. He got a text message from his only best friend, Jack Atlas.

Wuts the deal w/ the interview? U in?

As Yusei climbed into the back of the family limo, he text his best friend back.

Idk yet. It was fucking boring!

The only thing Yusei thought about was getting home. He had nothing planned for the rest of the afternoon since his parents informed him two days earlier that they were getting a new maid. His mother was constantly firing the maids that they've had lately. One maid smelled bad, another was an inefficient worker. Any excuse you could name was one Yusei's mother used. As his phone vibrated again, Yusei rolled his eyes and hesitantly looked at the message.

Hey! My family is coming over for dinner tonight.

~Hoshiko :)

Ugghhh! Why won't she leave me alone? Yusei thought, growling out of frustration.

Unfortunately, Hoshiko was a very snobby and spoiled brat who was arranged to marry Yusei when she turns eighteen. As far back as he could remember, Hoshiko acted very superficial and very pessimistic, which was one of the reasons Yusei didn't really like her. The thing that infuriated Yusei the most was that he had to marry her and had no say in the situation.

"We're home, Mr. Fudo." The limo driver said, as Yusei opened the door.

"Home sweet home, I think." Yusei murmurred, walking up the little walkway to his home. He noticed that in the driveway there was a pink convertible parked right near Yusei's Avenger.

"Yusei! I missed you!" A perky, feminine voice chirped, nearly tackling Yusei when he got in the door.

"Heya, Hoshiko." Yusei replied, rolling his eyes behind her back.

"How was your interview?" She asked, walking into the family living room.

"It was fine. Why are you here so early? I thought you were coming later on." Yusei said, plopping himself on the couch.

"I'm sorry. I was in the neighborhood and I really didn't feel like going back home so I stopped by." Hoshiko explained, sitting in his lap, "You look really tired. Let me make you feel better."

"Actually, I'm kind of sleepy, so I'm going to go to bed, alone." Yusei muttered, lightly pushing her off his lap, "I'll see you later."

Once he was long gone upstairs, she received a call on her phone.

"Speak." Hoshiko said, smirking.

"How's the plan?" a voice asked, menacingly.

"Uggghhh, it's taking off really slow. He hasn't given in yet." Hoshiko replied, sighing, "It's okay. I've got everything else all sorted out."

"I want to make sure the Fudo's are penniless by the time you marry Yusei." the voice added, before hanging up.

"Trust me. I'll make sure of it." Hoshiko concluded, shutting her phone.

On the other side of the city, in a small town called Haruba, lived a eighteen year old Aki Izayoi. She had beautiful, huge brown eyes, straight red hair with a side bang, and was at least five foot five. She was setting off for a job as a maid. It wasn't the best job in the world, but it would be enough money to help her live on her own.

I hope this job isn't as bad as the last one I had. That guy had no right to freaking touch my butt, Aki thought, zipping up her suitcase. It would be weird for her to move in with the family she was working for since leaving her home and roommate would be difficult. At the moment, her roommate wasn't home, but Aki knew that she would terribly miss her.

Putting the last of her suitcases on her porch, she noticed there was limo waiting in front of her house.

"Are you Miss Izayoi?" The security guard asked, approaching Aki.

"Yes." Aki replied, shyly. The guard was like super tall and looked like he could snap Aki in half.

"I'll escort you to your destination." He said, as the other guards put her suitcases in the trunk of the limo.

"Oh, thank you, sir." Aki mumbled, making her way to the limo, I got a feeling this family I'm staying with must have some serious class.

After the guard shut the door, the limo pulled away from Aki's house. It would be a while before Aki would be back home. She found it odd that this family wanted her to move into their house. Then again, she was never a maid in her life. After about ten minutes, she found herself looking out the window of the limo at a very rich community. There were women and men alike walking and talking on their phones, catching cabs, walking into tall buildings for their jobs. Even though she was in the limo alone, Aki already felt out of place.

I'm so nervous. What if this family doesn't like me? Will I get fired the same day I get there? I hope I make a good impression, Aki thought, fidgeting with her fingers.

"There's nothing to worry about, Miss Izayoi. I've known the Fudo family for a very long time, and I can assure you that they're excited to meet you." The security guard spoke, tapping his fingers away at his Blackberry Storm.

"Oh, thank you, sir." Aki replied, blushing. She didn't know that her nervousness was apparent.

"Please, call me Hiro." He said, sticking his Blackberry in his suit pocket, "We've arrived."

Once Aki turned her face towards the window, she could see outside a huge mansion. In the front of the mansion, there was a garden of flowers and plants decorated into a circle. On the left side of the mansion was a garage with like four or five cars parked. Everything was beautiful.

"I'll escort you inside, Miss Izayoi." Hiro said, as another guard opened the door for her.

As Aki stepped her foot out of the car, she stared at the front door to the mansion. She felt sick to her stomach, but she had to face them sooner or later. As Hiro rang the door bell, the door opened to reveal a dark haired woman. Her hair came down past her shoulders and she had an excellent figure, similar to a prima ballerina

"Hi. You must be Aki, I'm Amaya Fudo. It's so nice to meet you." She said, pulling Aki into a hug, "Thank you, Hiro."

"You're most welcome, Mrs. Fudo." Hiro replied, bowing in respect.

"I'm sorry that my husband isn't here, he had some extra work to do." Mrs. Fudo told Aki, shutting the door, "Our other security guard, Haru, took your luggage up to your room."

"Thank you, Mrs. Fudo." Aki smiled, watching a young man walk in. She could have sworn everything stopped at that point in time. The man was about her age if not older, he had spiky hair with yellow streaks. He was tall, only wearing a black wife beater and grey sweatpants. His eyes were a deep cerulean blue. His muscles were visible, even through his shirt.

OH MY GOD! He's the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen! Aki thought, blinking a few times before Mrs. Fudo broke the silence.

"Oh, there you are, Yusei. Honey this is Aki Izayoi, she's going to be our maid. Aki, this is my son, Yusei." Mrs. Fudo said, snapping Aki out of her trance.

"Hi." Aki mumbled, shyly blushing.

"Hey." Yusei responded, smiling.

After their introductions, another man walked in who looked exactly like Yusei, except he was obviously a lot older and had not yellow streaks in his hair.

"Hello dear." The man said, kissing his wife, "You must be Aki. I'm Hiroshi Fudo, welcome to the family."

"Thank you. It's nice to meet you too." Aki replied.

"Well, Aki, why don't you get aquainted in your room. If you want, you can explore the house." Mrs. Fudo explained, patting Aki's shoulder.

"Okay." Aki muttered, walking upstairs.

As she walked down the hallway, she looked at all the nice paintings and expensive vases placed on tables and the big ones were on the ground. At the end of the hallway, there were two other hallways that went left and right. In the dead center of the wall, was a family portrait in black and white. They looked like the perfect family.

"Now I just have to find my room." Aki sighed, not before she found her luggage outside of her room.

Once she approached her room, she opened the door to a peach colored room. All the dressers and bed side tables were white with gold knobs. There was huge empty closet right next to the two tall dressers. There was a vanity on the left side of the bed with six drawers, in the bathroom was a huge bath tub built in ground and was surrounded by smooth cream colored tiling. The toilet had a white fuzzy toilet seat cover on it.

This is super nice for a guest room, Aki thought, putting her two suitcases on her bed. As she started to take her clothing and shoes out of her suitcases, she thought about Yusei. He was the hottest guy she'd ever seen in her life. She thought of his abs and muscles that were visible even with his wife beater on.

Eh, he probably already has a girlfriend anyway. Plus, isn't dating your maid against the rules or something? Aki thought, sadly, as she placed her clothes in the drawers of the two taller dressers. Right now, Aki just wanted to focus on what she was there to do.

Meanwhile, downstairs Yusei was watching T.V. until someone opened the door. None other than Jack Atlas himself.

"So is the new girl here?" Jack asked, shutting the front door.

"Yeah, she's upstairs unpacking." Yusei replied, plainly.

"Is she hot or what?" Jack questioned, smirking.

For a while, Yusei thought about his response. From what he could see when they met, Aki was pretty hot for someone who was going to be their maid.

"Yeah, I guess you could say she's hot." Yusei told him, changing the channel.

"You know Hoshiko's not gonna be happy." Jack muttered, flipping through a magazine.

"Since when did I care about how Hoshiko feels?" Yusei asked him, rolling his eyes, "I still can't believed I'm being forced to marry her."

"Yeah, in less than two months to be exact." Jack said, putting the magazine down.

"She's honestly not my type. We have nothing in common. I'm looking for someone who's intelligent, kind, you know all the goods. Hoshiko doesn't have any. She's ditzy and a complete bitch." Yusei told him, cutting the T.V. off.

"Then why are you still with her? Why don't you tell your parents that you don't want to marry her?" Jack asked, thinking logically.

"It's really hard to tell my parents no. Plus, my father and Hoshiko's father are best friends." Yusei told him, plainly, "Being in an arranged marriage sucks balls."

"I'd say I know the feeling, but I really don't." Jack muttered, "Well, I just stopped by to get news on the party your rents are throwing this weekend."

"It's just the usual formal attire." Yusei said, as Jack showed himself out, "Peace."

After Jack was long gone, Yusei decided to go upstairs and check on Aki. It was usually in his nature to be friendly to others. As he approached her door, he opened it to something that shocked him.

"OH MY GOD! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" Aki screamed, throwing a pillow at his face while she tried to cover herself up with a towel.

"I'M SORRY! I.......," Yusei shouted, closing the door while, remaining wide-eyed and blushing, Gee that's a shock. Seeing the new maid naked the first day she gets here.

"Yusei is everything okay, sweetheart? I thought I heard screaming." Mrs. Fudo said, looking around.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Yusei lied, going to his room across the hall. After Yusei shut the door, Mrs. Fudo knocked on Aki's door.

"Go away." Aki said, still sounding embarrassed.

"It's me, Mrs. Fudo." She said, patiently.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You can come in." Aki muttered, as Mrs. Fudo opened the door.

"I see you've gotten situated into your room, I take." Mrs. Fudo pointed out, looking around. She stopped and looked at the vanity. There were pictures of all of Aki's friends from school and her family already decorated on the outer edges of the mirror.

"Yeah, sorry about before." Aki apologized, blushing.

"Oh no, it's fine. No trouble at all. I just came to tell you that Mr. Fudo and I are hosting a party Saturday evening and if you weren't too tired, we'd like you to meet our family and friends." She proposed, sitting on the edge of Aki's bed.

"Absolutely. I'd love to." Aki replied, smiling.

"Good. Well, I don't need to tell you that you start tomorrow, so I'll leave you alone." Mrs. Fudo responded, closing the door behind her.

I still can't believe that he saw me naked. That was so embarrassing! Aki thought, blushing from being all frantic. What was worse is that until she was no longer needed, she'd see Yusei a lot more once she started working.

She ran her fingers through his dark hair, messing with every little strand of it. He started to caress her inner thighs underneath her nightgown.

"Aki.....," Yusei moaned, lip-locking to match her fiery passion.

"Yusei," Aki groaned, rubbing his chest. In the next few moments, there was a shroud of darknesss coming over them. There was an evil within that shroud and the darkness was pulling them apart from each other.

"Aki!" Yusei yelled, being pulled apart from her.

"Yusei!" Aki shouted, getting sucked into the darkness.

The following day came sooner than Aki expected. Her annoying alarm clock went off at 8:30 a.m., in response she hesistantly got up from her bed and got ready for her first day of work.

Ugggh, I want to go back to sleep, Aki thought, turning one of the knobs on her in ground bath tub. She reminded herself that there were a lot of things in this mansion that she had to get used to like the butler's, the guards, the fancy cars, luxurious food, all the good stuff that came from being rich.

While she was sitting her bubble bath, she thought about her old life. She really missed her roommate/best friend, Yumi, who promised to hold up the house they lived in until she returned from being dismissed or if she quit for whatever reason. She missed spending her summer's drinking pina colada's and margaritas with her other friends and Yumi when they had parties.

Those were good times, Aki thought, smiling.

After she was finished with her bath, she took a pair of her old, ripped up skinny jeans and a white tank with a peace sign on it. Since she didn't have any uniforms, so she just wore something old to clean in.

Once she was about to open the door to her room, she found a fold piece of paper on her dresser. When she opened it, the list had a list of everything that needed to be done during the week.

Well, it doesn't seem like a lot day by day, Aki thought, sliding into her white flip flops. While she was on her way to the kitchen, she saw Yusei fixing breakfast.

"Morning." Aki greeted, politely.

"Oh, morning." Yusei replied, going back to what he was doing.

"Why aren't there any people cooking you breakfast?" Aki asked, quietly.

"Well, it's because I really don't like having other people do things that I can do myself when I'm not busy." Yusei told her, putting the pan he was using in the sink.

Man he's sooooooo hot! Aki thought, staring at his ocean blue eyes, "Oh....well, ummm, I was just curious. I didn't mean to bother you or anything."

"You're not bothering me. I'm actually glad you're here. I get kind of lonely being an only child and all." Yusei said, sitting next to her at the kitchen table.

"I understand how you feel. I'm an only child too." Aki muttered, picking up an apple from the fruit basket.

"Well, we've found one thing in common." Yusei smiled, playing with his food, She's got the most beautiful face I've ever seen.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Aki blurted, not meaning to ask that. Aki expected Yusei not to answer, but much to her surprise, he opened his mouth to reply. But as he did, Hoshiko came barging in through the door.

"Hi, Yusei! Gosh, I had such a............who is she?" Hoshiko asked, sounding like she was about to have a fit.

To Aki, she was really pretty. She had wavy brown hair, hazel eyes, and she was really tall. She was wearing shorts and a tube top.

What was she thinking with that outfit? It's too early in the morning to wear something like that, Aki thought, quietly.

Oh crap, Yusei thought, biting his bottom lip, "Oh, Hoshiko, this is our maid, Aki. Aki, this is my fiance, Hoshiko."

Fiance? Aki thought, sadly, "Nice to meet you."

"Oh no, the pleasure is mine." Hoshiko said, shaking her hand, "So, Yusei, ready to go?"

"Yeah, I just need to get my jacket. See you later, Aki." Yusei added, as Hoshiko pulled him by his arm.

Just when I meet a hot guy, he has to have a fiance, Aki thought, rolling her eyes.

Poor Aki. Just when her and Yusei get off on the right foot, Hoshiko has to step in. Next time, it's been a week since Aki started her job and everything's been going great, until preparations for Yusei and Hoshiko's wedding starts. At the same time, Yusei feels like he's becoming more closer to Aki rather than his bride to be, Hoshiko. Will Hoshiko start to get jealous of Aki? R&R plz.
