Okay, my first Yugioh 5D's story!

I personally believe that Yusei and Akiza belong together, so I decided to make a story where it happens!

This story is a little different from the show, but still goes by the same guidelines and such.

I'm horrible at writing duels, so don't expect to see any in my story! Sorry!

But anyways, here's the beggining to Living My Freedom!

Chapter 1

Akiza wrapped her arms tighter around her knees as the temperature dropped. After she had stolen some food from a small house, she had run to the small alley so she could eat in private. Now she was behind an old trashcan, sitting with her back pressed against the cold brick wall behind her with her arms wrapped tightly around her knees.

She had been on her own for months now, ever since she was kicked out of that stupid school. She didn't care, she didn't want to be there anyways. The kids would just separate themselves from her and call her names anyways. Nobody wanted her there either. Nobody had ever wanted her. Her parents wanted to just get rid of the monster that their daughter had turned into, the teachers cringed every time she entered their classroom, kids her age called her names and shunned her, and strangers would never give her a chance once they figured out who and what she was.

After she left the school, she was no longer Akiza Izinski.

That was the name of an innocent girl that should be cherished and spoiled by parents, adored by teachers, befriended by others her age.

No, she wasn't Akiza no more.

She was the Black Rose Witch.

She picked that name in honor of her favorite card, Black Rose Dragon. Everyone had called her a witch before. Well, now she was accepting it. That's what everyone wanted, wasn't it?

Before she had known of her powers, her father had called her his little rose.

Akiza closed her eyes tighter. Well, she wasn't a little rose anymore. She was a black rose, a witch. That was another reason why she now went by Black Rose Witch.

Willing the unpleasant thoughts away, Akiza pulled her dark purple cloak tighter around her chest, hoping to keep more warmth in. She felt her warm breath reflecting off the mask she wore on her face, glad that her face was receiving some warmth. Ever since she had started calling herself the Black Rose Witch, she had worn a long, dark purple cloak and a plastic mask. She didn't want people to see her, and she didn't want to see herself. The only thing someone could see was her hair. That was fine with her.

Akiza tried to pull her legs in closer, but her arms were starting to go numb. She felt her duel disk brush her leg and turned and looked down at it. She never took off her duel disk, and she always had her deck ready. Because of her ability to bring alive duel monsters, she could always make an easy escape when needed or face a challenging opponent with ease.

Not many people challenged her though. Rumors were spreading about her, making people scared to even be in the same town as her, even though she rarely went into a town. She always stayed in the abandoned alleys, going to town only when she needed to steal something. The only people who challenged her were those who wanted to prove that they could defeat the witch, or those who didn't believe the extent of her powers. All challengers ended up lying at her feet, begging for mercy.

She didn't like hurting people, but every time she started to feel pity, she would remember her parents, or the teachers, or the other kids who laughed and made fun of her. Who had hurt her. Then she would get angrier and her powers would go out of control and she would end up severely hurting her opponent.

She hated New Domino City. Everything here was a lie to her. Everyone always said that this was the place for new beginnings and high living.

Not for her. New Domino City was just full of painful memories and anger.

Akiza was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a siren sounding in the distance. She quickly jolted to her feet and started running down the alley. She didn't think the police were after her, but she couldn't take the chance. She ran as fast as her legs would take her as she slid her deck into her duel disk, just in case she would need it. She stopped for a minute to catch her breath and pressed her body tightly against the wall, hoping to blend in.

Her heart started to calm its beat when the siren passed the alley and continued going. She took a deep breath and leaned her head back against the wall.

As she laid a hand on her heart, she murmured, "That was close."

Suddenly she felt someone grab her wrist. She gasped as she quickly turned to face the person who had grabbed her.

As she yanked on her wrist she said in an angry voice, "Release me! You fool, do you not know who I am?"

She was surprised to hear his quiet chuckle as he tightened his grip on her wrist. "I know exactly who you are Akiza Izinski. Or should I call you Black Rose Witch? Please, don't be scared, I'm a friend."

For the first time in her life, Akiza felt panic bubbling up in her chest. "Who are you? I have no friends!"

She felt a tug on her arm as he said, "Come into the light and I'll explain everything."

Akiza thought for a moment, then said, "First let go of my arm."

He chuckled as he gave a firmer tug and said, "Believe me when I say that I want to, but as soon as I let you go you'd either run from me or summon a monster to destroy me. Come now, you have nothing to be afraid of."

Akiza hesitated for just a moment, even thought about fighting him, but then grudgingly allowed him to lead her over to a street light. She didn't want to follow him, but she didn't really have a choice. She could either walk with him or be dragged, and she would die before she was dragged by anyone. She would summon a monster as soon as he let go of her arm anyways.

Akiza blinked her eyes rapidly as they stepped under the light. After her vision had adjusted to the sudden change, she looked up at the man who continued to still hold her wrist. He was a tall, slim man. He had brown hair, but she couldn't see his eyes well enough to know what color they were. He was older than her, maybe in his mid twenties. His grip loosened on her wrist as he gave her an encouraging smile.

Akiza had no idea who this man was. She was sure she had never seen him before. "Who are you?"

The man leaned against the street lamp as he said, "My name is Sayer, and I am in charge of something called the Arcadium Movement, which is a place where people like you and me live."

Akiza felt shock and confusion course through her body as she asked, "What do you mean 'people like you and me'?"

Sayer shifted his weight to his other foot as he answered, "Psychic duelists, that's what we are."

Akiza took a step backwards as the shocking news hit her. "Psychic duelists?"

Sayer nodded and said, "Yes. We have the power to bring duel monsters to life, inflicting real damage to opponents. Akiza, I wish to help you control that power. Come with me, live with people who share the same powers as you. I understand you like no one else ever has. Together, we shall be invincible."

Thoughts tumbled in Akiza's mind. She was shocked that there were others like her, and that there was someone out there that wasn't afraid of her and wanted to help her. But then she remembered that she didn't know this man, that he couldn't be trusted. Others had said that they could help her in the past, but they were all lies.

Akiza gave a quick jerk to her arm and was surprised that he had let it go this time. She thought about summoning Rose Tentacles, but decided that she would only do that if he tried to touch her again.

Akiza took a deep breath and said, "Thanks, but I'll decline."

Akiza turned and started to walk away when she felt his arm grab her shoulder. Before he had her completely turned around, she yanked out Rose Tentacles and slapped it on her duel disk. The rose-like monster soon appeared and had Sayer slowly backing away.

Akiza stood her ground as she said, "Don't ever touch me again or you'll regret it."

Sayer held up his hands in surrender and said, "I mean you no harm Akiza. If I did, I would have used my own powers to capture you. I wish to be your friend. Here."

She watched as he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small metal object. He slowly crouched down and rolled the object over to her. She watched it glint in the light as it came to a stop at her feet.

As she stared at the metal object, she heard him say, "It's a device that will help you control your powers better. Just put it in your hair."

She watched as he turned around and started walking away. After he had taken a few steps, he paused and glanced back over his shoulder. "I'll be back Akiza. I'll give you some time to think about what I've said."

And with that he walked away.

She watched him walk until he was no longer in her sight. She lifted Rose Tentacles from her duel disk, making the monster fade. As she slipped the card back into her deck, she gazed at the metal object that Sayer had given her. He said that it would help her control her powers, but could she believe that?

She cautiously bent over and picked up the item. She gently caressed the item with her fingers as she stood back up. She somehow felt calmer now that it was in her hand. She shrugged as she reached up and rolled a small portion of her hair on the metal object and secured it.

She sighed as she took her deck out of her duel disk and slipped it back into the pouch on her belt.

Something about Sayer didn't feel right.

She rolled her shoulders, hoping all the stress and tension would leave.

She needed to think of a plan. He said he would be back for her. She felt her anger bubbling up as she remembered that.

Was he tracking her or something? How did he know how to find her in the first place?

Akiza started walking down the street as she thought.

He knew where to find her. She had to change that.

An idea suddenly hit Akiza as she walked past the alley she had vacated earlier.

She had to leave New Domino City.

And what place was better to go to than Satellite?

Kalin laid out the map on the small, scarred table as the rest of the team munched on chips.

Kalin swiped his silver-blue hair out of his eyes as he pointed at a circled spot on the map. "Here, this is the spot."

Crow leaned over where his nose was only a few centimeters from the map and studied the location as he said, "Here? You sure? That place is a dump!"

Kalin snatched the map from under Crow's nose and scowled at him. "Dump or not, this section belongs to the fairy gang."

Jack almost chocked on his chips as the laughter spilled out of his mouth. "Fairy gang? That's their name? That's pathetic!"

Kalin tossed Jack an annoyed look as the blond doubled over in laughter. "Okay guys, even though they're called the fairy gang, they own the zone that was on the map."

By then Crow had joined Jack's laughing while Yusei sat on the old wooden chair.

The Enforcers was the top dueling gang in the Satellite. They dueled against other gangs so they could be the best in Satellite and so they could own all the zones that the gangs they beat had owned. Team Satisfaction's goal was make Satellite a safe place for everyone and to be the best dueling gang known.

Kalin Kessler was the leader of the group. He was the one who brought the team together, so it was only right that he was leader. Yusei Fudo was one of the members. He was one of the better duelers and always kept his cool in tight situations. Then there was Jack and Crow. Jack Atlas always wanted to be the best and didn't like to be bossed around. Crow Hogan was the jokester of the group. He was always the one who made the team laugh, but was fast and serious when he had a job to do.

The team hid out in a little shack that was hidden from view. That way, none of the other gangs could see them, and the team had a place to rest and make plans. There wasn't much in the shack. There was a small table, two wooden chairs, a wooden chest where they stored blankets and food, and a small bathroom that miraculously still worked.

Kalin folded up the map and shoved it into his pocket. "Alright guys, calm down and listen to the plan. Tomorrow, me and Yusei are going to beat the fairy gang while you two get more food."

Jack's jaw dropped as he listened to Kalin's plan. "What? How come just you and Yusei are going? And why am I stuck with Crow?"

Kalin smirked as he shifted his gaze over to Jack and Crow's. "One, because I am the leader and I said so. Two, since you and Crow found the fairy gang so funny, I guess you didn't want to go anyways. And three, we're running out of food. Now that everything's settled, let's get some sleep. We're heading out early tomorrow."

So, how did you like it?

I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did! But anyways, leave a review and I'll try and get the next chapter out as soon as I can!
