Me: Oh god...it's the last chapter...

Logan: Oh stop with the sappy attitude. Everything must come to an end sooner or later.

Aki: More truthful words have never been spoken.

Me: T_T *Sniff* IT'S STILL HARD!

Aki: *Sigh* Bebe doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Logan: She probably never will. Which is a good thing.

*~Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: A Momental Goodbye~*

Final Chapter:

A Momental Future.

It was time.

Nervously preparing in the dressing room, Aki anxiously awaited for her dress to arrive. The symbol that she still with-held her purity of womanhood, even after all of these hard years. It was most certainly an achievement to celebrate.

It couldn't compare to what was about to happen today though. For Aki Izayoi, was about to be betrothed and seal her fate with her first friend, and eventually her lover, Yusei Fudo. However today, he would be her entwined, and eternal soulmate- her husband.

Hearing those words made her heart leap right out of her skin.

Her dress was a modern strapless wedding gown. This dress had a gorgeous bodice with ruched bust and red bodice covered in a lovely sheer floral lace overlay. The fitted bodice also has a red sash and has an elegant ribbon tie closure on back, and was made of taffeta material, and it came down with a trailing style around the back. Her hair was done up in a simple bun, with a small tiara with a simple ruby encrusted at the top, and she wore her medalion and red neck choker.

"Aki-san, I really am proud of you!" With an eager voice, Ruka congradualted her elder-sister figure once again. Ruka, had always secretly thought that Aki would never get married due to her insecurities. And that was a theory, that not only was proven wrong (and Ruka was glad- it always made her feel increasingly guilty), but would be left trailing in the dust as of today.

Aki and Yusei were definitley, soul mates for life. No vows were needed to prove the way that those two looked at eachother.

"Thank-you Ruka. But you've congratulated me so many times, I think I'll be dead if I got one gold bar for each one." Aki opened one eye, to see her maid of honour- well, one of them, they had decided to have two, the other being Carly. Mikage and Sherry had opted for flower girls instead, and Patty would be sitting in the audience- getting highly flustered and apologizing over and over.

"Sorry! I didn't realize!" The other occupants of the room mearly chuckled at her behaviour, looking at their outfits.

"Calm down Ru-chan." Patty smiled.

"I'm sor-"

"Don't apologize again. Please. You do that all the time." Ruka scratched the back of her head, her arm now cast free. She still had a light dressing around the wound, and still had to be careful, but all and all, it was almost back to normal.

It would still scar, though.

"Well, what are the arrangements again?" The whole room sighed, whilst Carly looked confused. What had she said wrong?

"Eh? Oh man, what did I do wrong this time?" She asked innocently, still perplexed at the sudden change in atmosphere. Aki smiled as she walked over to her raven haired friend, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Alright. We have two maids of honour- you and Ruka. We also have two best men- although one is questionable," it was obvious to the room that she was talking about Jack, "Which are Jack and Crow. Sherry and Mikage are flower girls, and Ushio is the ring bearer. Rua and Patty are in the audience with Skyla and oka-san, and otou-san is going to walk me down the aisle. Got all that, Carly?" She nodded, as Aki breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

'Well, that's all done and dusted...finally.'

"So...umm...where do I stand again?" The whole room then collapsed on the floor- par Patty who was still cradling Skyla- in an anime type fashion. However, they were all inturupted by the door slightly widening, revealing a tall, familiar face.

"Misty!" Carly exclaimed, but her smile then melted into a face of pure shock.

In her arms, she was cradling...what looked to be a baby, coming up into toddler years.

"Bonjour everyone. Have you all been keeping well?"

Her son, had short silver hair, which looked to be exactly like his Father's in his times of Team Satisfaction. However, he had dark, alluring onyx eyes, of which was passed down from his Mother. Aside his eyes, he was almost a spitting image of his Father.

"Keeping well? Keeping well? Misty, we haven't seen you in over two years, and the time we do, we find out that your a MOM? And all you can ask is our well-being? What the heck? Are you mad or something? What ever happened to common sense? Or intelligence?" Aki shouted. The black haired woman just chuckled at her friends reaction.

"Ah, désolé for keeping you all in the dark. However, I couldn't miss the dress, could I?" The small child gurgled slightly.

Pouting, Aki nodded and agreed with, "I guess so..."

Ruka, then noticing the thick atmosphere in the air, cleared her throat.

"So...is...Kiryu-san the father, Misty-san?" Ruka asked, as she got a nodd in response.

"Hai, me and Kiryu met a few years back, when he finished Satisfaction Town and went travelling with Nico and West. And then we met up from there, see? I was on a photo shoot in Austria, and we met there." The others seemed to achknowledge it, but Carly seemed to hold a perplexed position on her face. In other words, she seemed to be reminising.

"You and Kiryu...hmm...? Why do I sense that you two have met before...have you two met before that I know of, I wonder. Well, concerning what happened during It's a possibility, quite weird infact. Maybe I could get a scoop on it." Carly pondered, causing Aki to wince. Carly still couldn't remember her times as a Dark Signer, even after all of this time?

This would be awkward.

"Maybe, or maybe not. The world is full of mysteries, my dear. Oh? What's this?" Misty was inturupted when her son began to point to the other child in the room. "Cade-san, do you want to go over to see..." Misty paused, bearing a glance to Patty.

"Skyla."

"Do you want to go and see Skyla?" Cade nodded slightly, as Patty put Skyla into the small play-pen in the corner, Patty doing the same. Both children gurgled with happiness, causing Misty to smile.

"Well, they sure seem to be getting along well." Ruka mused. Aki then smirked with an evil tone to it, which worried the rest of the surrounding occupants of the room.

"By the way Ruka...because Carly will be walking down the aisle with Jack...and since the only other best man is a certain ginger...well, try to guess who you'll be walking down the aisle with~" Ruka tensed up, her face going a graceful red.

"A-Aki-san, you're not actually serious...are you?" She asked, clearly embarrassed. Nodding, the teal haired girl then went pale (her cheeks on the other hand, stayed a graceful scarlet colour), whilst the rest of the room laughed at Ruka's flustered behaviour.

Tonight was going to be fun.

-At The Wedding Reception-

"A-Aki-san, are you sure about Crow walking me down the aisle? I mean, couldn't I walk with Ushio-kun, o-or perhaps maybe with Sherry? I mean, i-it would be...well..." Aki then smirked deviously as a response, as Ruka rapidly dead-panned. She then shook her head, much to the younger girl's utter horror.

"I'm sorry, Ruka but I'm afraid I have to go by the original plans- you know what Yusei is like when it comes to planning. Geez, sometimes I feel like I'm marrying a robot." Nodding, Ruka agreed with her statement.

"But that just comes as part of the package, right?" Patty interjected their conversation, as Carly dragged her ear away from the two of them. Carly knew what it was like to have thoughts of love inturupted, and did not want Ruka to suffer the horrid, cruel fate that Carly had caught-

Romantic writers block.

Aki sweat-dropped, before clearing her throat and continuing her speech."Besides, you may be next at the front of the alter, better prepare for it now, no?" Ruka went scarlett red, as Aki got into the carriage, with Ruka sitting down beside her.

"Well...how are you feeling about it right now?" Ruka asked.

"I guess I'm feeling okay. A bit nervous, but I'm okay. Kind of. Okay, I'm scared shitless. What if I make an ass of myself or something? Then Jack will be teasing me for the rest of my life. God that makes me want to puke. But what if I forget what to do? I mean..." Her confession caused the younger of the girls expression to soften slightly.

"Don't worry about it, Aki-san. I promise it will all come naturally to you, and it will be the best time of your life. I promise you that much. You'll be fine." She gave a brave smile, as Ruka gave her a pat on the shoulder.

"So, give it all you've got, okay?" She held out the promise finger, as Aki did the same.

"I will do. Thank-you."

As the two of them made their promise to each-other, the carriage then came to a stand-still. Aki breathed heavily, emphasizing the current nerves that she held within her heart. She was, however, reassured by her many friends, who gave her a simple smile to show that everything was going to be okay for her today.

So, with a final breath of encouragement, she opened the door, and gripped the flowers in her hand. The stars of the night reflected off of the small diamond earings that she was wearing, giving her a sparkling essence toward her that night. Carly gave her a small pat on the back, before she got out of the carriage, and left with Jack.

"You look nice tonight." Carly just looked up and smiled, leaning her head against his shoulder as they procceeded down the aisle. Someday, it would be her turn to wear the white dress. Soon, anyway.

"Thank-you."

One-by-one, Sherry and Mikage left with Ushio and Bruno as well. It was soon to be Ruka walking down the aisle (with Crow) soon after Ushio went through the church door...which was just now.

Showtime.

She braced herself for a few seconds (felt more like hours) before jumping out of the carriage, and seeing Crow there, ready and waiting for her to arrive. Her breathing hitched for a second as she saw him in a tux, but she quickly managed to regain her composture and linked his arm, as they walked slowly down the aisle.

It was nerve-wracking.

"You okay?" Crow whispered quietly.

"Kind of. I'm really nervous, though." She revealed. He smiled lightly.

"Me too." Ruka tightened the grip on his arm, as many people began to stare at them.

"You never did like alot of people staring at you at once, did you?" The teal haired-maiden went a little pink at his correct statement, and nodded. (With her distinct body language holding clear hesitance)

"Don't worry. If you get anymore nervous than you already are, just do what I do. Just imagine them all in their underwear." Ruka raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a funny look. But she did not get a chance to ask him, because it was time for them to stand at the side of the alter, so that Aki could take the stage.

And as Aki linked her arm with her Father and proceeded to walk down the aisle, everyone could see the look in Yusei's eyes. It was clear, he was in love with her, and nobody could take that look of love like a joke. This was for-real. And as she reached the alter, he took her hand.

But then a problem arose.

Uh-oh.

"Yusei...where is the minister?" She asked. Yusei looked around, to see the minister gone.

"H-he was these a second ago..." But he was not there now.

"What do we do?" Yusei asked. Aki shrugged, as she looked around the room.

Aki then decided to resort to desperate measures.

"Does anyone here have the qualification of a Minister?" A shakey hand was raised, and Ruka was positively outstanded who it was-

Rua?

"Rua, your a qualified Minister? How did...when did you?" She asked. Rua smiled sheepishly.

"I-I took an online course once when I completed college for the Pro-Leagues in America...I am authorized." He partially stuttered, but was then suddenly grabbed by the collar by the bride, and taken to the front of the alter, after Aki gave her bouquet for Ruka to temporarily hold for her.

"O-okay...dearly beloved. We are gathered here today, to witness the joining of this man, and this woman in holy matrimony. Rings, please, and please b-begin your vows to one another." Ushio then realized that was him, and walked over to the two of them, giving the rings. Yusei held the ring infront of Aki, and it almost looked like he had tears in his eyes.

But Aki knew he wouldn't cry at a time like this. That was the bride's job.

"Aki, you are my soul mate, my lover, my best friend. When I first met you, I'll admit- I was scared shitless. But then, when I got to know you better, I saw the vunerable side of you that just wanted a true friend. And I wanted to be that friend. I could see in your eyes, you wanted to be fixed. And hopefully, I helped you to stick back together. You are the one who stole my heart, Izayoi Aki. Please never give it back." Aki was almost on the brink of tears, as Yusei slipped the ring onto her finger. She then held his hand, as she took his ring.

"Yusei, you are so damned cheesy. You always will be." Everybody had to stifle their laughter at her speech, "however Yusei, you were my first friend. Then my lover. Now my soul mate. Sometimes, I feel like I'm about to marry a bloody computer. Your kind, understanding and loyal. But please, don't be afraid to show flaws. Because no matter what, I will always love you. So please, stay by my side, and I'll stay by yours." He looked touched and insulted at the same time, but not offended. She then placed the ring on his finger, and the grip on each others hands tightened.

Rua looked like he was about to cry, but then cleared his throat. "So, with the power invested within me...and the internet, I now pronounce you man and wife. I don't think I have to announce this now, but you may now kiss the bride."

It was cliche, as the two of them took no questioning and leaped into each-others arms, sealing the promise. Sweet. Passion. Trust. Frienship. Bonds.

That was the five things their relationship was to be built upon.

And as they walked out of the church and greeted by a shower of flowers and seeds, Aki faced the other way and threw the bunch of flowers to the hopeful girls. And the girl who caught it...

Was none other than Patty, whom then almost fainted, Rua catching her and Skyla in her arms.

-At The Wedding After-Party-

Everybody was now just relaxing and enjoying the fresh young night, taking advantage of it at the after beach party Aki and Yusei had organized for their wedding. Yusei and Aki had already had their first dance as a married couple, it was under the stars like Aki had dreamed it would be. And Yusei was just happy to have the girl he loved right there in his arms.

Ruka and Crow had also had their dance, as well as various other couples. Suddenly, it was halted by Jack tapping his glass to get attention from the surrounding area.

"Excuse me everyone but I, Jack Atlas, would like to share a few words. Yusei, what ever you do when you get home, do not work on your D-Wheel. Or Aki will kill you. Do not go on the computer, or Aki will kill you. And NEVER refuse Aki her wedding night...pleasure, or she will kill you. But seriously, take out life insurance. Just in case. Also, have a happy marriage." The audience laughed at his speech, as Ruka also decided to say a few words to the newly wedded couple as well.

"Umm...I would also like to say a few words. Umm..." She looked to Crow, who gave her a thumbs up. Ruka never really was one for public speaking, after all.

"I just wish Aki-san and Yusei-kun a happy life together. There may be hard and sad times ahead, but I can tell that they will pull through in the end, and they will be together for the rest of their lives. Providing Aki doesn't kill Yusei first, but I highly doubt that she will. Also, we have something for you-" She was cut off when Crow snatched the microphone from her.

"Actually, Ruka is the one that's been working on this for three months straight. And if you guys don't like it, you will personally have me and Rua to deal with." Ruka blushed a little, but Jack and Bruno then unveiled the painting that Ruka had been working on. Aki was almost on the brink of tears again.

"Ruka...you did this...for us?" As she nodded, Aki embraced her younger sister figure tightly.

"Thank-you..." Ruka returned the hug and smiled.

"Your welcome, Aki-neechan." Aki gasped a little at the new suffix on the end of her name, and one tear spilled from her eye. The hug was then broken, as Ruka asked to be excused.

"Aki-neechan...I'm going to the beach for a little bit. I'll see you in a little while, okay?" Before Aki could even answer, Ruka took off whilst leaving the woman utterly confused.

Then she had a brainwave. And laughed evilly to herself.

"Hey guys...have you seen Ruka anywhere?" Crow asked. Jack shot Yusei a knowing look, whilst Crow looked around a little more.

"No...why are you looking for her anyway?" Red-faced, he looked away quickly, causing Jack to smirk a little.

"Gonna confess your love or something?" Crow turned around, angry as ever.

"Will you shut up! I don't know what your even talking about!" Yusei sighed, and placed a hand on his rage-blinded friend, in an effort to calm him down from the insult Jack just threw at him.

"Crow, don't you think it's time you told us at least?" Crow huffed and turned away. He hated it when Yusei was right.

Which was all the freaking time.

"...I love her."

There, he had said it. An upmost sincere confession, which held more meaning than any house-hold object, diamond or golden alike. This was the real thing, and even Jack stayed silent after his confession.

"But...what can I do? I'm seven years older than her, and she's got her whole life ahead of her. I can't drag her down...and I'm way to chicken to tell her anyway. I can't do it...I'm scared, guys." Jack had heard enough, and punched Crow in the face.

"HEY! JACK, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?" Crow yelled as he held his cheek in utter pain. Jack looked at Crow with a condemed seriousness present on his face.

"Don't pass this up to a stupid fear of rejection Crow. She's waiting for you. Don't let her slip away, or you'll have me to deal with for her heartbreak. You got that birdbrain? Aki said she was somewhere down at the beach. Now is your chance. Get going and get out of my bloody sight." Crow went a little red, but nodded.

Could he do this? He didn't know.

But he could sure as hell try.

-At The Beach-

Thinking to herself, Ruka sat on the dry, grainy sand. The night was going into it's adcolent age, but was still frsh enough to count as beautiful. The stars glimmered in the moonlight, as they all bathed in the midnight oil of the velvet curtain. Ruka lightly chuckled to herself- since when did she become such a descriptive person?

Memories of the years previous events continuously flashed in and out of her mind, including the bad times. The pain of the truth of what Carrie, Rua and Skyla went through still made her heart ache, but she was always able to get through it. Somehow, someway, she was always able to survive the pain of it all.

And one person stood out amongst the rest. Crow.

He had supported her through it all. He made her feel stronger when she felt weak. When she fell down, he helped her to stand up. When her tears fell, he embraced all of her sadness, and took on all of her sorrows. And that was why she still felt weak, because she couldn't compare to him or the others.

But when Rina came...

When she came, Ruka felt her happiness being torn away from her. And when Rina kissed him, her heart tore in two, and it was painful. Really, it was painful. It was nothing she had ever felt in her life before.

But when they said goodbye to eachother, she felt...relieved. And she knew why.

She loved Crow. But she was seven years younger than him. And he was (in a sense) more mature than she would ever be. He held it together, she collapsed easily.

It was-

"Ruka!" And speak of the devil, Ruka turned around to see a bob of orange hair walking toward her. She tensed up at him gazing intensley into her eyes, and looked away rapidly, averting his gaze.

"Hey, Crow." He stood beside her.

"Mind if I sit down as well?" She shrugged, and Crow took that to be a yes. With any warning, he placed himself on the sand next to her, feeling quite flustered because of that earlier conversation.

"So...Aki and Yusei finally tied the knot. Feels weird, doesn't it?" Crow tried to start up a conversation. Ruka just shrugged again, still looking away from his eyes. No, she couldn't look.

If she looked into his eyes, he would be able to read her thoughts. He would laugh and tell everybody. Sure, Aki would defend her, but many people would laugh along with Crow. And he would be breaking her heart.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern dripping from his voice. She looked at him and smiled.

"I'm fine." That smile made Crow's heart skip a beat. He was, however, highly sceptical of her actual state. Ruka did not seem at all 'fine' to him in any case.

"Really, what's wrong?" Ruka was now getting a little angry.

"I said I was fine, okay?" Crow flinched at her tone, but his expression softened when he saw the pain in her eyes. He then placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, in order to ease whatever pain she was bestowing on herself.

"Okay...I'll leave you alone." He stood up, and began to walk away.

He was however called to a halt, when Ruka grabbed his arm. He turned around with widened eyes, and saw Ruka begining to cry. Concerned and puzzled, he did not dare to move.

"Don't go...please."

"I'm not going anywhere. Now, please tell me what is wrong."

Silence bestowed them. Ruka's breathing hitched, and it seemed like only the wind could hear her words. But, with a little help from a good friend called inner-courage, she managed to choke one word out.

"You." Crow blinked...did he do something wrong?

Was he the cause of her tears?

"W-what did I-" He was then met with a blubbering Ruka.

"I...always drag you down! You've done so many things for me, and I always depended on you, or Rua, or Yusei-kun...I can't do anything for myself! Even though I've always tried to be more independant, even though I want to be able to help and protect others with my own power, I cannot! I am too weak! And I always got you hurt, and I can't even repay you! You gave me somewhere to go, you gave me words of encouragement, but I haven't given you anything-"

She was cut off, by Crow pulling her into a warm embrace. Her eyes widened.

"Shut your mouth now! You helped me in more ways than you know! Geez Ruka, don't you get it? You make me stronger, even if you don't know it. You make everyone stronger around you, because you never give up. We've all almost given up, except you. You always encourage us to win and keep going forward. You calm my anger as well, and not many people can do that. Your last name means ocean, right? And my hair is the colour of fire, your hair is the colour of water. You calm my flames, Ruka. You always will do."

They looked at each other. Their eyes were reading each other's souls at that moment. And their orbs widened.

They knew their feelings for eachother.

And leaned in.

And were nearly there-

"CROW! Did you kiss her yet?" Crow got angry, but was met with Ruka grabbing his collar.

"Oh no, not again." And leaned up, taking the first move. Lips met, and that was the end of that story. And as they broke apart, Crow only had one thing to ask Ruka.

"By the way, what was Aki's painting called?" Ruka smiled.

"A Momental Future."

-Meanwhile At The Party-

"Ha! Told you they would kiss! That will be 128, 196¥ please." Jack groaned as he gave the girl the money from the bet.

"And you Rua. And Patty. And Rina-chan. And you, Yusei." They all sighed, as they gave their money to the new bride, whom smirked evilly at the rest of the people.

"What's going on?" Setsuko asked, as she looked worried at her daughter hogging money that was given to her through betting.

"We all placed a bet on when Ruka and Crow would get involved with eachother-"

"Oh, how I love betting on romance."

"Wait...Aki, what did you bet?"

"I bet that they confessed at a beach. Why?"

"Because I remember saying that you would give me all the money you achieved if Ruka and Crow kissed at your wedding. And since this is technically a wedding party..."

"Whah? I...LOST TO MY MOM? WHAT KIND OF *** UP LOGIC IS THIS?"

Me: Well, that's it. No more. And Aki kind of blows up at the end. Haha.

Aki: Feels weird.
