First of all, I'd like to say SORRY for SUPER LATE UPDATE!
Come to think of it, I think I haven't actually updated this for years... o.o
Well, nonetheless, for some reason Yu-gi-oh! Games have this magic that it suddenly inspires me to write again...
So, here I am!
Actually, aside from that I'm also inspired to write another fanfic... (its a YuseixOC fic...well not OC actually but I shall tell about it more on when it's out :p) but, seeing how I have a lot of other pending, I don't know .
Well, as much as everyone should know I am no longer a student but officially a young professional...although I have already freed myself from any kinds of academic responsibility, it's actually busier when you're already working.
Aside from that, being part of a game developing team (oh yes I am and currently participating on NaNoRenO and i'm hoping that you'd look out for CHILL Brigade!) eats also my time...so, yes, I barely have time to do tons of stuff...(especially with work requiring me to go six days a week...its honestly meh...)
Oh well, I'll try my best!

Love Written In The Stars

I did but I don't know how
It's gon' take some time
But I'll figure it out
Thought of You

-Chapter 9-
Rika found herself still perplexed as her eyes just stared right through the car window. She still can't believe it.
After all, she's here right now in a car driving off into the mountains (God-knows here in there), with Yusei Fudo!
'Just how the heck did things end up like this again?' She wondered. Not only is she WITH Yusei Fudo, but actually sitting beside him, RIGHT NOW!
She motioned herself slowly towards her manager, thanking God how spacious the van was as she whispered into his ears.
"Do you know anything about this?"
"Of course, not. I'm just as surprised as you are!" He exclaimed back making sure its inaudible to the devil himself. '...as much as I wanted to pair you up with Yusei in regards to love; I actually didn't expect that you'd pair up at work!' He thought, whilst trying to keep his expression intact.
If he can be honest, although he knows Yusei if a good guy, but Yusei acting and starring with Aqua in a music video? That he is somewhat unsure.
"Do you honestly think this is a good idea?" Rika asked once more. 'Although, honestly...even if I was surprised, I was very happy to see him. Wait...that sounded so wrong right now. It must not be like that! Wait! Perhaps, I'm just happy to see him as friends! Yes, as friends definitely.'
As much as troubled and unsure they are, little did they know that the raven haired lad beside them was actually feeling the same way.
'Should I really go for it? Rather was it okay to go for it?' He thought. If he will be totally honest, he actually doesn't know how and why he ended up being in this car ride.
'How did I ended up here again?' He asked himself. Actually, it was like the 100th time he asked himself that ever since he got into the car. Everything was just so...unexpected and something somewhat impossible.
I mean, sure he ended up being a Signer, fighting the evil and saving the world and all that. But, being on TV with a star wasn't actually part of the Signer description.
Actually, if given the chance normally he would have disagreed with a no-doubt, absolute no.
But, what happened you say?
Let's back track a bit...
*** However, the moment his fingers grazed on the cold, metal, knob...
Beep Beep Beep
Yusei looked at Crow, who only looked back at him with a dumbfounded expression. Then both stared at Yusei's desktop that's now blinking.
He immediately rushed back to the garage and touched the screen, only to see an incoming call from an anonymous source.
"Do you have any idea who's calling?" Yusei asked as he stared at his orange-haired friend, who just shook his head.
"Definitely not... I don't even find the number familiar."
Although, he was filled with doubt, Yusei just clicked one button on the screen, and a man's voice sounded through the speakers.
*Uhm, excuse me, is this Fudo? Mr. Yusei Fudo?*
Yusei and Crow just stared at each other again. But, Crow just nudged Yusei to answer it as he just shook his head towards the screen, as if saying: "Go on, answer it."
The raven had just nodded as he leaned on his desk, nearing his face on the computer.
"Yes, this is Yusei Fudo speaking; may I know who this is?"
*This is Martin Tatum, from Seika Dreams Studios, thank you for answering our call. Although, this is all too sudden, but I as one of the production managers would like to directly ask you if you could take on a job for us?*
The moment Crow heard the studio name, he can't help but gasp as he grasped the shoulders Yusei and shook him.
"Oh my gosh, that's like Aqua's agency!" He exclaimed in Yusei's ear, making sure his voice was unheard on the other end.
"Aqua's what?!" Now, even Yusei was surprised after realizing it. After all, what would they want from him? Even though he was asked to make appearances in TV a few times before due to his title of being the new Duel King, still it wasn't actually phrased as a job.
Rather it would be like this:
"Mr. Fudo, this is blah-blah from so-and-so productions, you mind gracing us with your appearance as a guest star in this whatever show?"
*Ahem, are you there? I hope you can hear me clear enough.*
Yusei still found himself slightly awestruck but shook his head a bit as if trying to get back into his senses.
'Maybe it's just a repair job, after all isn't that what they call me for? Yes, maybe it's just that... I must be over thinking...'
"Sure, I wouldn't mind Sir Tatum, what is it all about? What would be the repairs needed to be done?" He asked casually, but the guy on the other line ended up barking with a couple of laughs.
*Hahahaha! I almost forgot about that, you're actually well-known to be one of Neo Domino's all-around repairman, right? Sorry, but no that's not what I'm hiring you for. Actually, as proposed by one of our Directors and Producers, we would like to ask you to star on Aqua's music video.*
"AQUA'S WHAT?!" Crow could no longer contain himself as he shoved Yusei slightly away from the computer whilst banging his hands on the desk.
*Uhhh, Mr. Fudo is that you?* Martin asked, realizing the sudden change of voice, not to mention tone.
"Uhm, sorry I think that was caused by some uhm signal interference." Yusei answered calmly while he stared at Crow with a scowl, who in return just smiled awkwardly back at him, mouthing a sorry. "You mind repeating what you said, sir?"
*Like I said, as proposed by one of our Directors and Producers, we would like to ask you to star on Aqua's upcoming music video.* Then it finally hit him.
'Aqua?! Music video?! Me?!'
If he was Crow, he would probably have screamed those words out, but he wasn't. As his body did the talking for him as his eyes now stared wide at the screen.
"Oh my gosh, you heard him, Yusei! You'll be starring with Aqua! On her Music Video!"
*Of course, if you're worried about compensation, we will definitely give you one handsomely. Not to mention that if this goes great, perhaps we could ask you to do more, how about it?*
He still found himself frozen on the spot. Not knowing what to do.
Then his mind just stopped when the Mr. Martin said, Aqua.
'Aqua... does that mean I'll get to see her again?' He thought. As if reading his mind...
"Oh my gosh, that means you'll get to meet Aqua again! Oh my gosh, you're one lucky guy!" If only Crow was a girl, he would have made a fangirl squeal. But, of course, he wasn't and all he can do is squeak a little in glee like the true man that he is.
*So...will you take on the job?*
In a heartbeat, without even contemplating a bit...
"Yes, I'll take it."
Crow just stood there beside him as if struck by lightning, his jaw dropped, mouth agape...***
Thinking back, Yusei really didn't know what got into his mind as to why he took it. It's like, the moment he heard her name, his mind stopped thinking about anything else.
Now that he got into his senses, he has done nothing but beat himself about it mentally.
The ride was certainly silent to the point that it was deafening.
Although, they got a long a good start, but both being awkwardly surprised and out of place, none dared to break off the ice.
But little did the pair knew that there's one hell of a shoot that's waiting for them in Mt. Aussa.
Okay, it wasn't really much... I'll admit. But, that was the best after I left it for two years? ._.
But, I guess, I'll just make it up on the next update?
Anyway, look forward for my future releases!
