Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, and elements from Bleach and Naruto are used in the story. Enjoy =)
It was another sunny morning in New York City, and a busy one at that. A young 20 year old, long waist length brown hair, azure-eye,small waist girl, wearing a black plaid skirt, a white v-neck long sleeved shirt, navy blue easy going sandals, a white and red strap soulder bag with a woodend sword walking those streets.
"I can't believe that it's been a year", sighed Anzu Mazaki. She was on e her way to school, but stopped at the partfait vender cart she usually stops at. She was going to buy an apricot parfait,but her blue eye caught a hand going toward the venders money. She quickly took out her wooden sword to strike it away.
"You brat!",exclaimed the thief.
"My hand just slipped",replied Anzu sarcastically.
"Cocky brat! Im gonna break that stick of yours!", exclaimed the thief launching himself at her.
Anzu quickly side stepped out of the way and stroke the right side of his body dropping him to the floor in pain.
"It's not a stick, it's a wooden sword used for Kendo. Anywho you droped my parfait so maybe my hand should slip again ... on purpose this time", said an annoyed Anzu.
"No, no i'm sorry, i'm sorry!", exclaimed a wide eyed theif at a menacing Anzu who made him run for his life.
A loud stomach rumble was suddenly heard reavealing that Anzu was still hungry. A cup of parfait was then handed out to her by the vender.
"I ...uhhh", stammerd Anzu blushingly.
"Thank you for what you did young lady, it's on me today", said the old vender lady smiling at her.
"Your welcome, it was nothing and thank you", replied Anzu humblely taking the parfait. Anzu then starded walking again to school. She only had one class to attend today which was dance and is only 45 minutes long.
Later that day in downtown New York a dark blue eyed, brown hair slightly longer, 21 year old young man was walking out of the american branch of Kaiba Corp. He was wearing a black vest, with a white button down shirt, red tie which he was losening with his right hand. He was wearing black slacks with a black belt, metal buckle with the KC initals, and black business shoes. He was starting to losen the buttons from his vest along with some of his white shirt as he tucked it out of his pants. He was irritated from his last meeting which is a sign that it was taking it's toll. Even he didn't admit that he needed the fresh air.
"Even if I get there in time Okuda sensei is always late",sighed Anzu to her self as she closed her eyes and bumbed something or someone hard and fell on the ground.
"Mazaki?", questioned a cold voice.
" I know that voice...but...it can't be", thought Anzu to herself as she was getting up to finally see who she bumbed. "Kaiba", she finally said getting up.
"Pay attention to where your going", said Kaiba in a irritated tone walking past her.
"Hey! I was going to apologize but it seems that your still a cocky arrogant jerk", Anzu yelled at his back since he wasn't facing her.
"Don't care or have intrest on what you have to say ...brat", counterd Kaiba annoyed without giving her a glance.
"So, i'm a brat am I?", muttered Anzu under her breath. Anzu had patientce, but that did it. She quickly took off her sandle and threw it at her target which was locked on. He instantly stopped and turned around extremely angry to face her but she wasn't there. She was already gone.
"Hmp, that's real mature Mazaki", said a sarcastic Kaiba as he picked up what she threw and continued walking away.
Anzu was hiding behind a side of a building while her heart was beating fast.
"What did I just do? These were my only pair! I should've thought that through before throwing my sandle at him. That was close. I have to get going anyways. It's only 10 minutes away from here so walking shouldn't be so bad", said Anzu hopeful about the situation.
It was only a 10 minute walk to make it to her destination; Okuda Flower Shop. The shops floors and walls were all white with shelves and a few tables. A couple of coolers with fresh water were in the middle of the shop making a walk way with fresh shippment of flowers. She entered the shop and placed her shoulder bag on the table beside the counter. Something quickly caught her eye which she managed to deflect with her sword.
"What in the world? Are you insane Okuda?", exclaimed Anzu at her sensei.
"Always be prepared to enter a room when your late for work or a lesson again. So what's your excuse", asked Okuda sensei.
"I bumbed into something on my way here", answered Anzu annoyed.
"What happend to your sandle?", asked Okuda looking at her feet.
"Lost it somewhere", replied Anzu remembering what happend earlier.
Kaiba was walking back to his office with Anzus sandle in hand.
Chapter 2
Everyday after class she would go to her job to train sometimes. It all starded when they met one morning when she was practicing dance in the park. She was wearing black sweat pants, a light pink v- neck latex mid-elbow shirt, and light pink balley shoes. Her hair was down and flowing all around her beautifully as she was practicing. She couldn't swirl longer than a minute and needed to last longer. She tried it again but this time she tripped and fell on the ground.
"You should try standing longer before you make your move", said the hand reaching out to her.
"Thanks", said Anzu taking the hand looking up. He was wearing a loosely buttoned dark green shirt, black slack type pants, and traditional japanese sandles. He had layerd black shoulder lenght hair with long bangs on his eyes and the side of his face. His eyes were easy going grey with a carefree smile and tall figure. He looked like he was in his 30's.
"My name is Okuda Shion, nice to meet you kid", greeted Okuda helping her up.
"I see", answered Anzu a little tired.
"What did you just say?", questioned Okuda annoyed at her response as he grabbed her head so they were face to face now. "Whay kind of greeting is that! Your suppose to tell me your name and say "Nice to meet you sir" what's your name dammit?", asked Okuda sternly.
"It's ...Anzu Mazaki sir..." Stammerd Anzu.
"And...", answered Okuda annoyed.
"And... it's nice to meet you sir", answered Anzu quickly with a few sweat drops.
"Your okay Anzu", replied Okuda with a smile as he padded her head and messed up her hair a little.
Anzu was still surprised by the scolding that she just recieved. Yet it brought some familiar comfort...reminisence of her friends at home. That day he afford her a job at his flower shop. He had also decided to train her to built strenght and for protection. Beacause of the strenght that she had already build up by dancing she managed to learn charkra control, substitution jutsu, and shadow clone jutsu the past year. Now at present day he was now traning her swordsmanship through kendo.
"Anzu", called out Okuda sensei.
No response.
"Anzu", called Okuda sensei out again.
No response.
"Mazaki!",yelled Okuda slaping her lightly on the top of her head.
"Ow! What's going on? Why are you slapping me around?", questioned an alarmed Anzu.
"Well, calling your name wasn't working", answered Okuda sensei annoyed at his student.
"Are you crazy? You could've broken my neck!", exclaimed Anzu as she massaged her head.
"What do you mean broken neck? It's not like I hit you all that hard stupid. Now quit daydreaming trainning has starded", said an annoyed sensei.
It was now Tuesday morning and Anzu was already awake drinking a bottled water while she was looking through the window.
"I wonder, why was he here? Why did I have to bumb into that jerk? Why did I throw my sandle at him? I'm an idiot", thought Anzu to herself. Anzu didn't have a class today but she did have work and a trainning lesson with Okuda sensei. After finishing her water she went to her closet and picked out some clothes to change into. She was going to wear black robe type pants, a white sleeveless kimono top, a red waist bow tied in the back, and black flats. She wore her hair down with a red ribbon tied as a head band with some long bangs in the front and side of her face. She grabbed her phone, big black purse, her wooden sword, and was walking to the door now. She took one last look before she locked it to leave.
Kaiba was on his way to the american branch of Kaiba Corp. He was wearing a navy blue button shirt with a black buttoned vest, black slacks with a black belt, and black dress shoes. His black suit jacket was on the passanger seat of the car with his metal suit case. He spotted a coffee shop and decided to get some coffee before going to work. He paralled parked his Mercedes Guard S-600 infront of the coffee shop and got out to start walking towards the door. His hand reached out to open the door the shop, but also hit something or someone at the same time.
"Ow!", exclaimed Anzu.
Kaiba was about to apologize but quickly stopped once he saw who it was.
"Serves you right, Mazaki", stated a cold Seto Kaiba as he was still at the open door. "How's your foot doing by the way?", questioned Kaiba sarcasticaly as he walked inside the coffee shop.
"You could apologize", stated Anzu annoyed as she followed him inside massaging the red print on her forehead.
"I could, but your being hypacritical", stated Kaiba simply glancing at her as he took his black coffee.
"What? What did you say?", exclaimed Anzu.
"You heard me Mazaki", stated Kaiba simply walking away.
Anzu quickly rememberd her sandle; he was right. She hadn't apologized either. This is ridiculous, he still a jerk but she didn't have to put up with this. Kaiba had already left the coffee shop and was now in his car. Anzu ran out of the coffee shop and caught up to him. She knocked on the cars passenger side window which Kaiba relunctantly opened.
"What is it now hypacrite", answered Kaiba relunctant.
"I'm sorry ...for throwing my sandle at you", said Anzu as she looked at him. He didn't lose his compossure much he was a little surprised.
"Are you expecting something?", questioned Kaiba as he was looking ahead of the steering wheel.
"No, it's just the right thing to do...hypacrite", answered Anzu as she was now walking away with a content with a smile.
What was that? Did she just use his statement against him?
"Mazaki", called out Kaiba.
"Yes", answered Anzu simply as her back was to him.
"I am sorry about the door hitting your face and take this with you", stated Kaiba simply as he tossed the item to her. She turned and swiftly caught her sandle from the other day.
"This is my ...sandle",said a dumbfounded Anzu.
Kaiba was driving away with a smirk on his face.
Chapter 3
Anzu and Okuda sensei were sparing in a underground training area under the Okuda Flower Shop. It was an area that you could not believe was under the shop because of the cherry blossom trees, the short green grass, a small water way with a small wooden bridge, and the walls not being really visible because of the reality of the sky. Okuda pushed Anzu back with his sword causing his sleeveless haori to get picked up by the air a little. Anzu was about to strike again with her sword but Okuda deflected it from below causing him to catch it. He sighed at the fact that Anzu was caught off guard. A stomach rumble was heard causing Anzu to start blushing and glancing up at her sensei.
"So your hungry are you? Well you don't have to be so insistant about it Anzu", taunted Okuda sensei.
"Excuse me sensei but i am not ...hungry", replied Anzu emberrasingly as her right arm went over her stomach.
"So your hungry? Not a big deal Anzu",replied carefreely Okuda sensei throwing her back to her.
"Hey! Are you crazy? You're not suppose to throw a sword at someone when it's unshead thats dangerous Okuda", exclaimed Anzu.
"Are you upset because your hungry?", questioned Okuda jockingly.
"That's not it at all ...Okuda sensei", answered Anzu. She was upset but not about being hungry. It was about bumbing into that CEO and him returning her sandle out of the he's changed ...a little? "I should stop thinking about him, he's not my concern", sighed Anzu to herself.
"Here", said Okuda handing her a cup of hot tea as they sat down under a cherry blossom tree.
"Thanks sensei", replied Anzu greatfully taking it into her hands.
"I don't know what's on your mind but im behind you all the way Anzu", simply said Okuda sensei taking a sip of his tea.
"Thank you sensei", answered Anzu greatful that he didn't ask more and his support.
Seto Kaiba was at his corporate office working or at least trying to but something or someone kept crossing his mind; her. Why was she here? He rememberd that at graduation she was mentioned for a scholarship to study abroad. Whatever the case he shouldn't really care. Just then his phone vibrated on his desk and already knew who it was.
"Hey kid", answerd Seto laying back on his chair.
"How's work?",asked Mokuba.
"Busy as always. How's school?", asked Seto.
"All A's as always. I'm coming over this weekend", said Mokuba.
"What time will you be arriving?", asked Seto.
"Saturday at noon", answerd Mokuba.
"I have a meeting so i'll send for you and have you dropped off at the company ", answered Seto now looking at his computer monitor.
"As long as I get to see you and you're not working so hard", replied Mokuba.
"Mokuba don't start", stated Kaiba annoyed closing his eyes.
"Don't overwork yourself and I won't", answered Mokuba cockly.
"Heh, I forgot your a smart ass now", sighed Seto.
"I wonder where I got it from", counterd Mokuba with his brothers smirk.
"See you soon Mokuba", said Kaiba with a smile as he ended the call on his touch phone. That smile. The only person who got to see that smile and his kind side was Mokuba; no one else. It was amazing to him that Mokuba had grown so much not just phsically but matured as well over these past 4 years. He was 17 now, almost as tall as he was at that age, shoulder length layerd hair, more confident, definately smart just like him, ladies man, but unfortunately a smartass. "He's ...growing up", sighed Kaiba to himself as he touched his duel card locket.
Anzu finished her tea and trainning for the day and was now tendding to the flower shop upstairs. Like usual Okuda placed a couple of cherry blossoms in a small vase on the register counter.
"I have a dance recitle exam on Saturday sensei", said Anzu as Okuda was arranging some white orchids and lillies together.
"You better pass", taunted Okuda sensei.
"Ofcourse I'll pass", replied Anzu with a smile.
"We have a dance recitle exam on Saturday", stated a cheerful voice that caused Anzu and Okuda to look at the doorway. A girl wearing a light yellow hoody zip up jacket, black skinny jeans, a white v-neck shirt, black flats, pitch black hair cut in a layerd bob, long eye lashed green eyes, and also carrying a black shoulder bag.
"Marie", said a happy Anzu.
"How are you Marie chan", asked Okuda.
"I'm doing great Okuda", answered Marie.
"How's your routine going Anzu?", asked Marie as she walked to the white table and sat on one of it's chairs.
"It's going so far but still need some practice", sighed Anzu as she was bringing Marie a cup of tea.
"Thank you", said Marie grateful as she picked up the tea and sipped some. Anzu and Marie Evans met on their freshman year of Julliard. They had a class together becoming study partners and then good friends. Marie was also the current CEO of EvansIndustries; a top company in America. Anzu was amazed seeing that even though she was a CEO and going to school for a dance career she was still a carefree person. She's only seen her stressed a couple of times and relieved it when Marie was hanging out the flower shop drinking tea. It was so diffrent from the CEO that she knew back at home. Marie's parents died when she was 13 and had to learn how to manage the buisness as such. In the past year Marie has taught her to how to do little things to help her out in the buisness to making spread sheets to helping her file documents sometimes. Even Marie's secretary noted it as helpful.
Chapter 4
It was now Friday afternoon as Anzu was now done with her government class. She was wearing a white button up shirt with a grey loosely open vest, black ruffle skirt with lace on the edges black bow on the right side, black 2in booties, light pink loosely ribbon on neck, and her one red shoulder bag. Her hair was in a loose bun with some loose bangs and locks that were flowing in the wind as she was now walking towards the coffee shop that she and Marie would always study or hangout at. She turned at the corner of the busy street and saw the coffee shop. She looked up to see a man with a buisness suit with an ID tag on the front of his grey suit. However she was a little startled to see that the company he was working for was KaibaCorp. She shook it off as she passed him by to get to the coffee shop.
"I haven't seen him. I guess that's a good thing", thought Anzu to herself as she enterd the coffee shop. She spotted Marie and walked to their usual table to sit down. Marie was wearing a short sleeve light green ruffle dress, light pink flats, and a light pink head band with a bow to left side. Her dark brown shoulder bag was on the floor under the table below her feet.
"Okay so I orderd us 2 vanilla frappachinos", said a Marie with a cheerful smile as they were taking out what they needed to work on.
"That actually sounds good right now", said Anzu as she now sipped the cold drink.
"The recitle exams seem to be alot easier than these documents that I have to look over", sighed Marie.
"Good thing im not you, but would like some help? I don't have a my government exam til next Friday?", asked Anzu with a joking laugh.
"If you wouldn't mind being me for the next hour that would be great", chimed in Marie.
"Okay, so what am I looking for on these documents?", asked Anzu as she took another sip of her frappechino.
"Just make sure that everythings in order. I'll look over this one since im meeting with this client tomorrow", answerd Marie as she picked up a thin dark green folder that was in the middle of the table.
"What about the exam?", asked Anzu with a confused look on her face.
"I'm still taking the recitle exam. It's just a walk in walk out meeting. It's not a big deal Mazaki chan", chimed in Marie.
"I can't believe that stuck", sighed Anzu as she was looking over some documents.
"Well I think it's cute", said Marie with a smile on her face as she was looking through her clients documents.
After an hour of looking over and organizing documents they were finished. As they were both having recitle exams tomorrow they decided to leave their seperate ways.
"We'll meet up at your apartment building and I think walking to school would be a good warm up", said Marie as she stood up grabbing her bag from the floor placing the documents inside.
"I'll see you tomorrow then Marie", said Anzu as Marie turned to leave.
"Later Mazaki chan", chimed in Marie as she left the coffee shop. Anzu decided to stay a little while longer to get ahead start on studying for her government exam.
Kaiba was now leaving his office after another irritating day at work. It didn't help any that he had a meeting with EvansIndustries tomorrow. He was looking to buy a share of the company so he could expan his own in the American territories. However it wasn't the only one he could go with but could be a good start. He was now driving towards the coffee shop that he stopped at the other day. He saw it in view and parked his car in the same spot. He got out and was about to walk in.
Anzu finished her drink and dumped it in a nearby recycle bin. She grabbed her shoulder bag, got up and pushed her chair in to leave. As soon as she turned and walked to the door she ended up facing a surprised blue eyed, dark brown haird CEO, wearing a white loosely button up shirt, a navy blue vest, navy blue dress pants,black dress shoes and a now surprised expression to find her there.
"So you are a fangirl", said a sarcastic Kaiba as he was the first to talk as he closed the door behind him.
"First, Technacly I would have to be a fan to be a fangirl which im not. Second, I come here to study sometimes afterclass. Fortunetly for you im done for the night, good evening ", retorded Anzu as she was about to leave.
"You're walking away Mazaki?", questioned Kaiba stoping her tracks before opening the door.
"I ...have a dance recitle exam tomorrow and im really tired. I wonder if ...you will ever have a civilized conversation with anyone that is not Mokuba ...I really do",Simply stated Anzu as she walked out the door without looking back. She was tired. She did not want to deal with him right now. She took a pause to let her chocolate brown apricot smelling hair fall down to her waist.
"Your annoying Mazaki", stated Kaiba now outside the coffee shop behind her. A little night breeze blew by leaving him with her intoxicating scent as she was about to walk away. "Get in the car Mazaki", sighed Kaiba as he was walking to the drivers side.
"I'm sorry what was that? Did I hear right?, though Anzu to herself.
"Mazaki", called out Kaiba sternly as she broke off from her dumbfounded expression.
"Fine", sighed Anzu as she got in the passenger side of the car. "You take a right on this corner and just go straight as my apartment is only 10 min from here", directed Anzu.
Kaiba placed his black coffee on the cup holder of his side as he also payed attention to the directions she gave him. She was really tired and took the advantage to nap for at least five minutes in the car. She placed her right earphone on her ear which was connected to her touch phone and played Tsuji Shions' SKY CHORD. Kaiba stoped at a light and took a quick glance at Anzu who was sitting up but her head was tilted down, eyes closed, with a couple of her bangs and locks on her face. The light turned green for him to go and she opened her eyes as they were getting closer to her apartment.
"You should slow down now, this is my apartment building", said Anzu as he slowed the car to a stop. They were both looking ahead and not at eachother but even so she was greatful; even if it was him. "Thank you...Kaiba", said a greatful Anzu as she was the first to speak. She took a quick glance at him and then opened her door to get out.
"Evening Mazaki", sighed Kaiba.
She stopped for a second but got out and was relieved to be home. However she was surprised that his words were in her head, "Evening Mazaki".
Kaiba was now driving to the estate that he owned that was about 15 minutes outside the city. Her locks were covering her eyes and sleeping face were now on his mind just like her words, "Thank you...Kaiba".
Chapter 5
An alarm went off making a hand move to turn it off. Her eyes slowly opened to see that it 9am in the morning meaning that she had to get up now.
"Maybe a few more minutes ", said Anzu still kind of sleepy.
"Not a chance! Time to get up sleepy head or we'll miss the exams", said Marie throwing a pillow at her. Marie was dressed in a light yellow v-neck t-shirt, dark green high thigh booty shorts and dark brown flats with a bow on the front.
"Okay! Okay! I'm up", said Anzu reluctantly getting up. She went to her closet and picked out a white v- neck long sleeved shirt, black robe loose type pants, and black flats. "I'll kill h'er", mutterd Anzu as she opened and closed her bathroom door. After 3 minutes she came out dressed and walked to her main drawer with the mirror to atleast brush her bed hair and to put on a simple, thin, chain, cresent moon necklace. She didn't feel like doing much with her hair so she left it down."How did you get in?", asked Anzu as she was packing a navy blue v-neck spandex mid elbow spandex shirt and black leggings into her red shoulder bag.
"Had a key made", simply stated Marie as she walked out of the room.
"You what?", asked Anzu giving her dumbfounded look.
"it's only for emergencies. Parfait?",answered Marie as they were now in Anzus' kitchen.
"I don't think this counts as one. Yes.", said Anzu taking the parfait.
"To be fair, I called ahead of time but you didn't answer", said Marie as they were now eating there strawberry parfait. Anzu put her parfait on the counter, walked to her room and brought back her phone along with her balley shoes which she placed beside her shoulder bag.
"You did call me. I'm sorry Marie my phone was accidently on silent", apologized Anzu as she was walking back to the counter to finish her parfait.
"We should get going though. I still have that walk in walk out meeting to go to before we head to the school", said Marie as she finished her parfait and picked up her dark brown bag.
"Right ", said Anzu as she finished her breakfast and grabbed her bag and balley shoes from the living room couch. She tied the ribbon type lace of the two shoes and placed them on the inside of the strap. She placed her phone in the front pocket of her bag and grabbed her key to lock the door.
Kaiba had just enterd the KaibaCorp building making his way to his office. He was wearing a black button up shirt, white buttoned vest, a white suit jacket, white slacks, and black dress shoes. Once he was in his office he looked at his phone for the time; Mokuba would be here soon. He made his way to his desk and sat down on his chair. He was now looking over some of the document folders that involved EvansIndustries. He then grabbed his office phone to call his secretary. Brook's phone rang and that only meant her boss was calling. The only reason she liked working as his secretary was because he wasn't around that much. He scared her, really scared her. She liked his brother though because he was really nice. She didn't take it to hard when he would be hard on her. If he was mad, she just saw it as him being grumpy which was pretty much all the time. She sighed and answered her phone.
"Sawyer let me know when Marie Evans is here, understood?", questioned Kaiba sternly.
"Yes sir", answered Brook as he was now off the phone line.
Anzu and Marie were now walking in to busy buisness streets of New York.
"So who is it this time?", Anzu as she was walking on Maries right side.
"Actually you might now him", simply stated Marie.
"What makes you say that?",asked Anzu even though she already knew the answer too well.
"I looked him up. He's from Domino City, Japan and just happend to graduate from Domino High just like you", simply answered Marie.
"Oh thats ... Intresting", said Anzu as sweat drop was forming on the side of her forehead.
"I want to know what you think about Seto Kaiba?", asked Marie serious now.
"I ...why ask me?", asked Anzu now looking ahead.
"Because I value what you have to say", answered Marie honestlly now as was looking ahead. "I know he was the adopted son of Gozaburo Kaiba, that he's ruthless when it comes to buisness, and that he obviously has a grudge against Yugi Motuo, current King of Games who also happends to be your friend. How am I doing so far?", asked Marie.
"Good. Too good. Hey! Does this mean you looked me up too?", asked a some what freaked out Anzu.
"I was curious", said a similing Marie.
"I feel violated", said Anzu hugging her stomach as she lowered her head down. Their walking came to a stop as they were now infront of the American Branch of Kaiba Corp.
"Anzu chan seriously is there anything I should know about before I meet this client? Like maybe... I dont't know like maybe he likes guys or something",said Marie as she and Anzu were trying to keep a straight face but only ended up laughing out loud. After a minute they calmed down and Anzu finally decided to tell her what she thought.
"Well...he can be ruthless when he comes to buisness, but he really is a nice guy. I've never had a civilized conversation with him but I am friends with his little brother Mokuba so he tells me. Just don't ever bring up his chilhood, Mokuba, or Yugi up and everything should be fine", said Anzu as she finally looked up at her friend.
"Alright got it. Aren't you coming in with me?", asked Marie.
"That wouldn't be a good idea. I'll just wait here, besides you shouldn't take long anyway we have the recitle exams", answered Anzu reminding her as well.
"Kay", said Marie as she starded to walk towards the front doors of the building leaving Anzu at the sidewalk.
Mokuba's plane just landed at the New York City Airport. He was wearing a tight orange v-neck hoody shirt, skinny blue jeans, and black sneakers. He was looking around until he spotted who he was looking for. His long time bodyguard; Roland.
"Hey Roland", greeted Mokuba with his goofy smile.
" Nice to see you here sir", answered Roland.
"Let's get my luagage so we can go see Seto", said Mokuba.
"Yes sir", replied Roland.
Marie made it to Kaiba Corps top floor. People were giving her weird looks because of her clothes but she didn't care. She saw the secrertary a who was wearing a simple light purple button up shirt, beige pencil skirt, and had mid waist straight aburn layerd hair. She looked a little uneasy.
"Hi ", greeted Marie.
"Hello, how may help you?", greeted Brook.
"I'm Marie Evans I'm here to see Seto Kaiba", answered Marie politely.
"Just one second", said Brook as she picked up her office phone to inform the CEO. "She's here sir. Yes sir", spoke Brook on the phone. She hung up the phone and stood up to open the door for her.
"Thank you", said Marie in a whisper as she walked in. she looked up and saw the CEO sitting at his desk as he looked up to see his client in all casual and was surprised. However she didn't have time for this and quickly walked to a chair. "I have other things going on today so lets get to the point. I know who you are already and what your companies about. You would like to make a partnership with my company to expand yours. How am I doing?", asked Marie firmly.
"Your up to date.", replied Kaiba now laying back on his chair.
"I like to do research on the companies that im dealing with. As for a partnership between our compainies I don't see why not but I have dance recitle exam in the next hour we will have to reschedule for another time", said Marie as she was getting ready to leave.
Just then her words came to his mind,"I ...have a dance recitle and I'm really tired". "Dance recitle exam?", questioned a curious Kaiba.
"Well owning my own company was not my first career choice. I'm attending Julliard to persue dancing which was my first. We will be hearing from eachother, thank you for your time Mr. Kaiba", said Marie curtiously as she got up from her chair.
"Miss Evans", said a stern Kaiba as he also got up from his chair and walked to the door opening it for Marie and himself.
Anzu was waiting outside of KaibaCorp standing on the buildings wall listening to PAPERMOON by Tommy Heavenly6 on her phone. She then looked up from her phone to see a black hybrid car with tinted windows pull up. The back door opened to reveal a black layerd hair teenager wearing a V-neck orange shirt, blue skinny jeans, and black sneakers. Her eyes widened as she quickly recognized who it was.
"Mokuba?", gasped Anzu as she was surprised to see him.
Mokuba heard his name and looked up to see who had called him.
"Anzu? Anzu!", shouted Mokuba happy to see her. He walked up to her and gave her a big hug.
"How...how are you? You're so tall. You're taller than me. No wait! Are you taller than your brother?", asked a surprised Anzu as he let go.
"I'm great and no I'm not taller than Seto. Anzu you look so pretty", complimented Mokuba.
"Thanks. You look really good yourself ladies man", complimented Anzu.
"I get that a lot. We should get together later if your not busy", said Mokuba.
"Uhm sure", answered Anzu.
"Here let me see your phone for sec", said Mokuba as Anzu handed her phone over to him. He then dialed his number in calling himself and hung up on the second ring. "Now you have mine and I have your number", said Mokuba with his goofy smile handing her phone back to her.
"Anzu!", called out Marie as she was now walking towards them.
"How did it go?", asked Anzu.
"It went well. Who's this?" asked Marie now looking at Mokuba.
"This is Mokuba Kaiba", said Anzu.
"Nice to meet you ...", greeted Mokuba as he was also trying to get her name.
"...Marie Evans", finished Marie as she extended her hand to shake his with her sweet smile.
As Mokuba and Marie were still greeting eachother a gun a shot was heard. Anzus' eye caught a fast moving object heading for her friends causing her to quickly push them aside to the ground taking the hit on right shoulder. She was now closely bending her knees to the ground but was using all her strenght to stand up.
"Anzu", screamed Marie and Mokuba together.
Kaiba was walking towards the entrance of the building when he saw it happen causing him to run to his brothers aid.
"Stay down!", commanded Anzu.
"What? Are you crazy Anzu?", exclaimed Mokuba.
"Anzu your...bleeding", said Marie in shock as she was looking at her friends arm.
"Just do it!", exclaimed Anzu in pain as she was now using her left hand to cover up her wound. Blood drops were falling to the ground as she was trying futilely to stop them by applying pressure to her arm.
"We gotta call an ambulance", exclaimed Marie as she was still on the ground.
"I'm on that", responded Mokuba as he was now calling 911.
"Mokuba!", screamed Seto as he was bursting out the glass doors entrance to his brothers aid.
"Seto! Anzus hurt!", exclaimed Mokuba as his brother came to his side.
"Mazaki is what?", asked a shocked Kaiba is was now looking at Anzu and the blood that was on the ground and was still losing.
Anzu was looking straight ahead at the person that shot her; from the look of his clothes he looked like a thief. The streets were some what clearing because of the comotion. However the thief was now aiming the gun to Marie. Mokuba noticing this quickly moved infront of her causing Kaiba to widened his eyes to him and too quickly move infront of his brother.
"Huu...huu...huu...okay I only have enough strenght for one shadow clone...huu...huu...i better make it count ...huu...huu...Shadow clone jutsu!", exclaimed Anzu taking her left hand off her injured shoulder moving quickly to make the hand signs. Suddenly a cloud of smoke covered the area, but once it cleared it revealed Anzu infront of Kaiba, Mokuba and Marie. The thief pulled the trigger and shot Anzu again in the adomen.
"Anzu!", screamed Mokuba and Marie. Suddenly a cloud of smoke covered the area and once it cleared she was gone.
"Where did she ...go?", asked the thief confused. However he felt something kick his side full force throwing him off his feet to the ground causing him to drop the gun.
"You...you...what did you do?", groaned the thief in pain.
"I ...stoped you ...huu...huu...from hurting anyone else", answered Anzu as she placed her left hand back to her wound applying pressure trying to stop the bleeding. Anzu felt that she was getting weaker now as she could bearly manage to stand.
"Anzu", called out Marie as she ran to her side to help her stand. Seeing them distracted, the thief was reaching for the gun but was stoped by a black dress shoe that kicked his hand with brute force away from the gun. The thief then looked up to only get punched in the face by Seto Kaiba.
"That's for pointing a gun at my brother ;bastard", said Kaiba coldly.
"Marie...huu...huu...get Okuda", as she then coughed up blood and couldn't keep her eyes open anymore collapsing to the ground.
It was faint but she hear the ambulance, the police, the crowed, Mokuba, Marie, and finally ...Kaiba.
Chapter 6
Anzu opened her eyes to see that she was standing and surrounded by water. She looked at her reflection in the water to find her shoulder had no wound; her v-neck long sleeved shirt had no blood. She looked up to the blue skies as they were infinite in their color. Her body then suddenly lost balance causing her to fall into the water. She was numb; she couldn't move. She was trying to fight against the weight of the water to breath but no use. She was losing hope until she felt something or someone pushing her upward. She glanced behind her trying to see what was pushing her upward to the surface. Her eyes widened in surprise to see it was Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Marie, Okuda, and Mokuba that were pushing her to the surface. She was pushed out of the water and was now in the air 30ft away from the water. She opened her eyes to look down at the water and saw someone else submerging into the water. He was wearing a white loosely buttoned up shirt, black slacks, and no shoes. As he was slowly submerging into the water as he slowly opened his blue eyes and looked at her. She was getting ready to dive back in, extending her hands to him. That's when she finally opened her eyes slowly, back into reality. She looked at the ceiling and then the white walls of the room. To her left there was a big window with white curtians on each side showing the brightness of the sun into the room. She then saw the Ivy on the side of her with the monitor displaying her heart rate. She tried to sit up, but stopped as soon as she felt pain on her right shoulder. She fell back on to the bed and saw the bandages on her right shoulder as well as the hospital gown she was wearing.
"Your awake", said a carefree voice making Anzu look up.
"Where's...Marie", asked Anzu a little hesitant as she looked at Okuda wearing his darkgreen button up shirt loosely, black slacks, and traditional japanese sandals.
"She's okay, she went to get some air. She'll be back in a bit. However a kid came to see you, but said he couldn't stay anylonger; he said he had school today so Marie said she would keep him updated", informed Okuda as he was now sitting down next to her in a chair close to the bed on the right side of the room.
"Kid?", asked Anzu confused.
"He said his name was Mokuba Kaiba", answered Okuda.
"For how long ...was I out?", asked Anzu hesitant again.
"Two days. Today is Monday morning to be more exact", answered Okuda looking at Anzu as she was tyring to sit up again and finally suceeding.
"Two days...i...missed the recitle exams", said Anzu grimly now looking at her hands.
"You should't be worring about that, count your blessings that your still alive", said Okuda.
The door opened causing them to look at who was coming in.
"Anzu...Anzu! You're awake! Are you okay?Anzu speak to me?", shouted Marie as she ran to Anzus' left side shaking her a bit.
"Marie I don't think it's a good idea to shake her like that", said Okuda as he had a worried look on his face.
"I'm sorry...i just i'm glad that your okay", said Marie as she hugged her and let her go.
"What happend...after?", asked Anzu hesitant.
"You were loosing blood badly so...i was trying to keep pressure on your wound. Seto Kaiba took off his tie and wrapped it around your wound since my hand wasn't really working. The ambulance finally came and brought you here", answered Marie now sitting on the left side of the bed leaving Anzu wide eyed about Kaiba
"What about the thief?", asked Anzu.
"He was taken in by the police so everythings okay. You should rest as much as you can; our incident was well...broadcasted", said Marie looking away.
"My friends saw this?", exclaimed Anzu.
"I should tell them your okay now", said Marie as she was leaving the room to make a few calls but before she left she paused for a second. " said it was okay for us to take the exams when we're ready", said Marie as she now left leaving Anzu with a small smile.
It was noon as a Kaiba was now in his office working looking over some documents. He was wearing a light sky blue loosely buttoned up shirt, white vest, white slacks, white dress shoes, and grey tie. He was looking at the computer screen with a blank stare as he was thinking about the incident that happened 2 days ago. The Media went absolutely insane after the incident. She protected him. Not just him but Mokuba and Marie as well. He was wondering obout her condition and debating if he should go see her as he was in debt again. He had his pride but he also knew not to be ungrateful. Just then his phone vibrated breaking his thoughts causing him to look at the ID. It was a buisness call which he was not in the mood to take.
Anzu was sitting up on her hospital bed looking out at the open window feeling the breez on her skin. She was thinking about what Marie had mentioned earlier. She was happy to know that she was gonna be able to take the exam, but on the other hand was a bit surprised to hear that Kaiba gave her first aid. It's not like he was so cold to let someone die, it was just surprising to know that he gave her first aid. Whatever the case she decided not to think to much of it. Her attention was then to the door to see who was coming in.
"Hi Anzu chan, I brought you some white lillies and cherry blossoms", said Marie cheerfully as she placed them to the small white table that was on the left side of the hospital bed.
"They look so beautiful thanks Marie",said Anzu greatful.
"The doctor says that you can leave the hospital tomorrow. I'll stop by your apartment to get you something to change in and take you home. I also told Mokuba that you were okay and he's gonna do the nice thing of letting your friends know that your okay. Isn't that nice of him?", said Marie cheerfully.
"Sounds like him; sweet kid. We should stop by the shop though so Okuda can heal my injury enough for me to be able to go back to school", said Anzu.
"Sure, but don't stress it okay", pleaded Marie.
"I don't stress", said Anzu pouting at her.
"Stubborn too", said Marie as she flicked Anzus' forehead lightly."That's from Okuda", said Marie with a smile.
It was now Tuesday morning as Marie went to Anzus' apartment to pick up a change of clothes for her. She picked out a simple white casual sleeveless hoody as she didn't want to put pressure on her shoulder. She also picked out black jean shorts, and black flats with a white lace ribbon bow on the front. She then went to the hospital to pick Anzu up.
"Morning Anzu chan! I brought you some clothes to change in to!", cheered Marie coming in to Anzus' room.
"Morning Marie, so what did you bring me?", asked Anzu as she was sitting up on her hospital bed now looking at her.
"White sleeveless hoody, black jean shorts, black flats, and finally some undergarments", answered Marie giving Anzu her red messenger bag with a smile.
"What would I do without you", sighed Anzu as she then smiled at her friend taking the bag.
"Lot's of things, mistakes for one", joked Marie.
"Full of yourself lately?", joked Anzu as pushed the covers aside and stood up from the bed.
"I'll go sign the release forms while your getting dressed", Marie as then left the room.
It did not take long for Anzu to get dressed and for Marie to sign the release forms. They were now on there way to the Okuda Flower Shop so that Okuda could heal Anzu enough to go to school the following day.
Kaiba was on his way to KaibaCorp until his cold blue eye got a climpse of certian white building. His been passing it by before and after heading to work. He decided to go into the building this time walking up to ths hospitals receptionist.
"Hello, how may I help you sir?", asked the receptionist.
"Is there someone by the name of Anzu Mazaki hospitalized here?", asked Kaiba coldly.
"Just one second...Mazaki,Anzu. There was", answered the receptionist.
"Was?", asked Kaiba.
"She was released just this morning. Who may I ask is asking?", asked the receptionist as she finally looked up from the computer but he was already gone.
Anzu and Marie walked into the flower shop and greeted Okuda.
"Hi Mr. Shion", greeted Marie.
"Hi Okuda sensei", greeted Anzu.
"Welcome back", greeted Okuda.
"I would like to come to work and be able to go to school tomorrow", said Anzu.
"You want me to heal you?", Okuda asked as he looked at her determined face. "Okay then, take off the bandages" said Okuda as Anzu was now taking off her bandages so her sensei could examen the injury. "It's not bad but an expert on medical jutsu could do it better don't you think Miwa Kawase "said Okuda as his glance moved to the white table revealing a light brown haired woman with an up do, kimino type top as it stopped upbove her navel, the top being white and the sash being light green under her breasts, black legging type jeans, and black strapped 2inch heels. Once she turned to look at there direction she had long lashes with serin hazel eyes; she was beatiful.
"I came here to talk not to work Shion", said Kawase getting up walking towards them. She looked at Anzu and then took her arm in her hands to examine her injury. "So your the girl that was all over the news", said Miwa as she then let go of her arm.
"Yeah, I guess so. How does it look?", asked Anzu.
"It i'll be an hour or so", answered Miwa.
"How do you and Mr. Okuda know each other?", asked Marie.
"She's a childhood friend from home", answered Okuda.
It was the next morning as Anzu was getting up from her bed. She looked at her shoulder to examine her healed wound. It's as if she was never injured, however Miwa had asked her to wear the bandages as to not make people suspicious. So she picked out a spring floral easy going strapless dress that stopped at her knees, and white lace flats. She kept her red messenger bag as she only had english class today. A door knock was heard at her front door causing her to open it.
"Morning Marie", greeted Anzu.
"Ready to go to school", asked Marie.
"Yeah, let me get my stuff and lock my door", said Anzu as she grabbed her things and keys locking her apartment.
"I brought the car today", cheered Marie.
"We could've walked you know", sighed Anzu getting in the passenger side of the 2005 Honda civic.
"I'm not taking any chances today", answered Marie as she turned on the car.
"Chances?", asked Anzu confused.
"Media, accidents, psychos, crazy fanboys, did I mention crazy fanboys", said Marie as she stopped at her first light.
Anzu starded laughing out loud as she couldn't contain herself. Marie was so nice and had an awsome humor from time to time.
"You can't be serious Marie", asked Anzu as she finally calmed down.
"No. Not really with the exception of the fanboys and the media", answered Marie as they were now 10 minutes away from the school.
"Fanboys?", asked Anzu.
"You know those love letters don't write them selfs", pointed out Marie.
"Did something happen while I was gone", asked Anzu.
"Yeah...a lot more of them", sighed Marie as she got to the school and parralled parked the car from it. They got out and were about to start walking to the school until Anzu looked up and regcognized the car that was parked in front of the school. It was a Mercedes Guard; his Guard.
Chapter 7
He was standing by his car wearing a white loosely buttoned up shirt, black vest, grey tie, black slacks, and black dress shoes to finish it off. He looked up from his phone as he and her were now looking eye to eye. His attention was then turned to her bandaged shoulder. He did not want to admit it but inspite of that injury she managed to look nice. Her long waisted hair was down as a couple of strands were flowing with the breeze.
"I think he came to see you", said Marie as she was now beside her.
"Not possible", said Anzu simply.
"You think so?", asked Marie as they both starded walking to the school.
"I know so. We're not friends. You have official company buisness with him though", said Anzu shrugging it off.
"I don't do buisness during school hours", chimed Marie quickly as they both looked at his direction. They crossed eachother but Kaiba came to a stop first.
"Mazaki, a word", said Kaiba sternly as he only glanced at her direction.
"Ackward", sung Marie jokingly as she took Anzus' messenger bag. "I'll be up the steps kay", said Marie with a smile as Anzu was giving her a murderous look.
Anzu and Kaiba turned to look at eachother and then walked to the sidewalk close to the school.
"You have the floor, how may I help you Kaiba?", simply asked Anzu as she looked away from him. She did not want to admit it but she was a little intimidated.
"I'm not so callous as to be ungreatful for what you did; I offer you some grattitude", said Kaiba coldly looking at her surprised face.
"It's fine ...I have a class if you will excuse me", said Anzu as she starded to walk away.
"How's your shoulder?", suddenly asked Kaiba stopping her from taking another step.
"My shoulder's okay", answered Anzu as she only turned enough of her face to glance at him and for him to see that she was blushing.
"We're gonna be late Anzu, and does this mean that you guys are dating now?" asked Marie loud enough for them to hear as she was in tha gap between them.
"No", said Kaiba and Anzu simply at the sametime.
She starded walking again as the breeze was flowing with her hair and floral dress. He walked away to his car while keeping his eyes on her 'til he turned on his car and left.
"Told you so", coughed out Marie jokingly.
"He just thanked me", simply said Anzu.
"I'm just a little worried though", said Marie as she and Anzu were walking into the school now.
"It's Seto Kaiba, he will be okay", said Anzu as they were walking into a hall now.
"I'm not worried about Kaiba, I'm worried about you", answered Marie as she simply looked at the dirty jelous looking fangirls causing Anzu to realize why she was worried.
"Uhmm we...should walk faster", said Anzu a little worried now as she and Marie were walking a little faster.
"Just keep walking, keep walking", said Marie as they both evetually made it to the safety of their english class.
Kaiba finally made it to his company office but that did not stop him from thinking about her. She seemed intresting, which surprised him. She wasn't like the others that just flung themselves at him; she never was. She always stuck strong with her friends, her beliefes, and studies. She was never really involved in any drama or partied as much. She was more of an average girl who happend to graduate in the top 15 in his class along with him and Yugi. From Duelist Kingdom,Battle City, KaibaGrand Prix, Egypt, and finally graduation he never really had a conversation with her. Why should he start now? He then sighed in irritation as to why he was thinking about that now when he should be working.
"Get out of my head Mazaki", sighed Kaiba annoyed laying back on his office chair.
English was a 45 minute class as Anzu and Marie were now walking to julliards lounging area.
"These girls are crazy", said Anzu as they were walking.
"Oh you mean because of the glares, I hardly took notice", said Marie as they got to the front doors.
"That's not funny", said Anzu as she glared at Marie as they took a seat at a near by table.
"I think it's funny", smiled Marie.
A girl that was passing by coughed out slut to their annoyance.
"It will pass", said Marie.
"Depends how crazy they are", sighed Anzu.
Another girl came passing by that droped a small note ar the table. Marie picked up the note to see what it was about.
"Yeah, they really hate you", said Marie as she folded the note and threw it in a near by trash bin.
"We should go to the shop now", said Anzu as she was getting annoyed at situation.
Miwa and Okuda were working at the shop organizing and stocking the new shipment of flowers that came in.
"What are these yellow roses and white lillies for?", asked Miwa.
"Birthday party", answered Okuda as he placed the lillies at the white table that they usually sit at.
"Who's party?", asked Miwa.
"Maries", answered Okuda.
"Hi Okuda", greeted a cheerie voice.
"Marie chan and Anzu chan", greeted Okuda.
"How's your shoulder?",asked Okuda as he had a box in his hands.
"It's healed completely you know that already", said Anzu as she placed her messenger bag on the white table.
"Good, then you can help organize the shop", said Okuda as he grined at her as he placed two of the shipment boxes in her hands.
"Okay i'll do that", said Anzu now helping to organize. "Hey! You should help too you know", said Anzu as she was looking at Marie who was now sitting at the table relaxing with a cup of tea.
"I'm helping", said Marie taking a sip of her tea.
"How so", asked Anzu with a glare.
"I'm drinking the tea", said Marie taking another sip of her tea.
"Take a box ", said Miwa as she dropped the box infront of her with an twiching left eye that left Marie nervous with a sweat drop forming on the side of her face.
After an hour of stocking and organizing they finally finished. Anzu, Okuda, and Miwa were sitting at the white table drinking a warm cup of tea while Marie was laying back exhausted in her chair.
"The store looks awsome", said Anzu acomplished while taking a sip of her tea.
"Sure does", said Miwa relaxed as she took a sip of her tea.
"So...tired...stop the world, I wanna get off", said Marie exhausted.
"We could've finished sooner if it weren't for you carrying multiple boxes at one time", stated Anzu relaxing with a sip of tea.
"Your just as guilty as I am", said Marie exhausted.
"How so?", asked Anzu with a glare.
"By association", answered Marie.
"Well it looks great", said Okuda simply.
Maries phone vibrated to her annoyance but answered it anyways.
"Yes, no that's fine. Thank you", said Marie putting her phone on the table.
"Corprate meeting?", asked Anzu.
"KaibaCorprate meeting actually", answered Marie.
"When is this meeting?", asked Anzu as everyone took a sip of there tea.
"Friday at noon after the recitle exams", answered Marie causing everyone to spit out their tea.
"On your birthday?", asked Anzu.
"It's better than a buisness event announcing our partnership", answered Marie cheerie about the situation.
"Well it can't be helped", said Okuda relaxed.
Chapter 8
It was Thursday afternoon as Anzu was walking to the coffee shop she usually went to study at. She wanted to relaxe for a bit as she felt like hell and was irritated from the past few days. She had never seen such a concentrated number of idiotic fangirls in her life and it was all because of that incident that happend a week ago. No she took that back; it wasn't the incident's fault...it was his. Him and his stupidity for showing up at the school.
"I can't even enjoy walking here anymore", muttered Anzu as she was walking in to the shop. As soon she was making her way to the counter she was bumbed by a girl who was wearing a mid thigh floral spring dress with hot pink leggings and flats. She had mid back wavy blonde hair in layers as her bangs framed the sides of her face.
"I'm sorry", she apologized but before Anzu could reply she was triped by the woman. "Not ", she finished.
"I'm sorry do I know you?", exclaimed Anzu as she was getting up.
"No you don't, but I know your type very well ...slut", said the blonde woman with malice.
"You've got to be kidding? Another Idiotic fangirl; I don't have time for this, excuse me", sighed Anzu as she was about to walk past her but was stoped as soon as a hand slaped her hard in the face. Anzus' left cheek was marked red as her face was turned to the left with her long hair and bangs covering her eyes and expression. The two employes in the front counter and could only look in shock at what just happend. Three other costumers that were also the only ones in the shop at the time also looked on in shock. "You must be deaf if you didn't hear what I just said so I will say it one more time... Excuse me", said Anzu as she was looking straight at the blonde with a look of warning in her eyes.
The blonde was about to go for a second slap and Anzu seeing this was about to stop her left hand from doing so but the blondes rist was stoped by someone elses. A tall figure was standing behind Anzu causing everyone and her to widen her eyes in surprise to who it was; him.
"Take your stupitiy outside", glared Kaiba coldly as he droped her rist. The blonde soothing her rist only looked at him in amazement.
"Miss are you alright?", asked one of the young female employe as she ran towards Anzu. She had her black hair in a pony tail and was wearing a v-neck white graphic tee, blue jeans, green apron, and pitch black smokey eye shadow.
"I'm fine", answered Anzu .
"We saw what happend, you can get out now. We don't serve rude customers here", said the emploey as she was now looking at the blonde firmly as she was also pointing to the door. The blonde only scoffed taking her leave. "I'm so sorry about that, let me get you some ice. Mandi can you help the next costumer please?", asked Evie as she and Anzu walked up to the counter. The next costumer was Kaiba as Mandi already knew what he come to order; Black coffee, no sugar. As she made his order Anzu was placing a littel bit of ice on her face. As he was discreetly glancing at her she did not glance at him, not once. She said something to Evie and then walked to the door. He paid for his coffee and walked to the door walking up behind her as they were now outside.
"Mazaki", called out Kaiba as he was a few feet away from stopping her from walking another step. "The hell happend there?",asked Kaiba firmly as her back was facing him.
"Stay away from me", said Anzu firmly as she was still not facing him and a cold breeze blew between them causing some movement in her hair.
"I never wanted to be near you", answered Kaiba coldly.
"I never wanted to be harrased because of you", answered Anzu as she was now walking away leaving him with a confused look on his face.
Anzu finally made it to the flower shop walking in and placing her messenger bag on the white table. She looked up to the window that is at the left side of the table. She saw her reflection and the mark that was some what still there. She raised her hand up to the left side of her face. Even the mark was bearly visible, it stung quite a bit.
"Your early", said Miwa as she was standing behind the counter at the register.
"Ahhh! Don't sneak up on people like that!", exclaimed Anzu as she was now facing Miwa now.
"What's wrong with your face?", asked Miwa looking at her left cheek now.
"I walked into a pole", said Anzu as she looked away from her.
"You must have walked into that pole really hard, but then again poles don't have hands stupid", said Miwa simply as she smirked.
"She's right, it looks like you got slapped", said Marie as she and Miwa were now drinking a cup off hot tea at the counter.
"Ahhh! What did I just say!", exclaimed Anzu at them as they were just staring at her.
"Yup, you got slapped", said Marie as she sipped some tea.
"Pretty hard", said Miwa adding on to Maries comment as she also sipped some tea.
"Thanks captian obvious, now what?", asked Anzu sarcastically.
"Now you fix it", answered Okuda he was now at the counter with a cup off tea with two bags of groceries on the counter top.
"Ahhh! Will you people stop popping out at random", exclaimed Anzu as she was now glaring at them now.
"Here", said Miwa handing her a sword.
"What's this?", asked Anzu confused.
"Looks like that slap scrambeld what little brain you had left", said Miwa sarcastically.
"I know what it is. Why are you handing it to me?", asked Anzu.
"Your going to take a test right now", answered Miwa with a smirk on her face.
Kaiba was at his corprate office looking over some documents for his meeting with Marie Evans tomorrow. However her words kept crossing his mind "I never wanted to be harrased because of you". What did she mean by that? Why did that woman slap her? What was the reason for the confrontation?
"Stupid girl", sighed Kaiba.
Anzu,Marie,Miwa and Okuda were now under the stores trainning area. Marie and Okuda were sitting under a cherry blossom tree drinking tea while Anzu and Miwa were a few feet away from eachother.
"There's only one simple rule you have to follow; You have to dogde me", simply said Miwa.
"That's it? Sounds easy enough", smirked Anzu. However as soon as those words came out of her mouth something hit her stomach full force causing her to fly back hitting a cherry blossom tree. Anzu looked up to see what it was and saw Miwa smirking.
"I won't be going easy on you either", said Miwa standing a few feet away from her.
"That's fine with me", said Anzu as she stood up as Miwa was going for a second hit. Anzu quickly dogded her sword by side stepping away leaving the cherry blossom tree as the target. Miwas' sword cut down the tree leaving some petals to scatter along with the branches.
"The hell! You could've killed me!", exclaimed Anzu seeing the tree's damage.
"If I teach you medical jutsu it's important for you not to get injured at all. If something happens to you then you won't be able to help anyone let alone yourself", said Miwa as she was preparing to attack again. Anzu starded running causing Miwa to do the same. As they ran Miwa got close to stabbed Anzu on her adomen causing smoke to be released.
"A shadow clone!", exclaimed Miwa in surprise. She quickly stood her ground and starded listening, smelling, and sensing until she locked on to Anzu. Miwa took out a small shuriken and threw it at her target causing Anzu to quickly move away from the tree that she was hiding behind from. Anzu starded running causing Miwa to follow again."Why are you running Mazaki?", questioned Miwa harshly.
"I'm not running. You said to dogde your attacks", counterd Anzu as she glanced at Miwa.
"Your right, I said dogde them. Not to runaway from them", counterd Miwa causing Anzu to suddenly stop and her as well.
"Then what am I suppose to do? Wait I got it!" Thought Anzu to herself.
Miwa was then coming in for an attack but Anzu dogded it as she moved her right leg to a 45 degree angle and quickly turned her body to the left failing to notice a tag at the end of Miwas' sword.
"Got the first aid kit?", asked Okuda as he sipped his tea.
"On stand by", answered Marie as she took a sip of her tea.
"Tag, you explode", said Miwa as she activated the tag surprising Anzu as she also moved her hands quickly for a substitution jutsu. An explotion suddenly covered their area making smoke appear. Once the smoke cleared, it revealed Anzu and Miwa to be still standing.
"What was that?", asked Marie surprised.
"She used an exploding tag at the end of that attack causing an explosion to happen", answered Okuda as he sipped his tea.
"Your not the only one who knows how to use a shadow clone", said Miwa with a smirk.
"I used a substitution that time", counterd Anzu.
"Lucky break for you this test is done, you pass", said Miwa as she smiled at Anzu now.
"I passed...really?", asked Anzu surprised.
"You dogded the exploting tag", said Miwa as she walked up to anzu messing up her hair.
