Her Guardian Angel

A soft sigh left her lips that were colored a cherry red. Leaning over a bit toward the mirror she drew a dark and thick line around each of her eyes with the black eyeliner. Once finished she stood up and straighted out her stage clothes. A sapphire blue, single-sleeved top that ended just an inch below her supple breasts to show her toned abdominal. A black mini skirt with pink lace clung low on her slender hips, her long worked legs exposed at well, slim and sexy from the hours of dance.

Black boots ran up her lower legs, ending just below her knees. She hadn't exactly chosen her outfit for the performance but she did have to admit that she looked gorgeous in it. Turning around she left the room, chocolate brown tresses swishing around her beautiful face.

Now twenty-two she smiled to a few of the backstage workers and knew the men to be watching her as she passed them but the diamond and gold engagement band on her left ring finger kept them away. Yes, she was engaged now... Finally having returned to Japan after three years she found the perfect man to suit her. Of course, she could have probably guessed it from the start.

Anzu heard the voices of the people in the audience stop as the soft music started and the curtains parted. Moving ever so slowly in tune with the music she rose up, raising her long fit and slender arms above her, fingers stretched out to the ceiling as if trying to grasp a hold of something. Soft, sweet melodic words flowed from her mouth as she sang the words. The song had been edited so it was only music and she sang the lyrics. She was just as good as that as she was at her dancing. She moved and swayed her body to the melody, no longer aware of the hundreds pairs of eyes that were watching her.

Pretending not to notice

I gazed far outside a small window

The voice of an angel fills the sky

Embraced by the wind

She sped up just a bit, keeping in time with the notes.

The noise reflected in your eyes can't hear a thing

Now it's just "a trick of sweet time"

I whispered to the sky

It was a song that she had picked out herself. Mizerable... the mere name of it described the way she felt sometimes. She sung it in English even though nearly everyone here was Japanese and would not understand it. That was exactly her aim. Back in American she often sung in Japanese.

Around and round... In the time left behind, I am now

Les miserables

I loved you too much and you are now on the other side of the wall

Laughing softly

My feelings will never reach you... I'll put them in a sigh

It had taken quiet some time for her to get the song translated and rearranged to fit to the music.

Bathed in the cold wind

Imagining these feelings night after night

The melody I hum softly

Is etched in time and disappears

I can't forget the sadness that will I can never go back

Even now I can't dye myself with these swaying emotions and my body

Is about to break...

She continued to dance and sing, her eyes only occasionally dashing out to see the audience, all of whom looked like they absolutely could not look away no matter what.

Where can I go so that the sadness of being alone will disappear?

'I have tomorrow...'

Performing was not her only reason for agreeing to come back to Japan.

Around and round... In the time left behind, I am now

Les miserables

I loved you too much and you are now on the other side of the wall

Laughing softly

Les miserables

She wanted to see him again...

Falling deeply into an almost forgotten dream, I am now

Les miserables

I loved you too much and you are now on the other side of the wall

Laughing softly

She stopped moving as the music slowed and faded, the final words leaving her soft, full lips.

Todokanai kono omoi dake... toiki ni nosete

It was a full minute before the audience broke from their trance and gave her a rousing chorus in applause. She relaxed, relieved that they had been pleased. She could see Yugi in the front, clapping louder than anyone else. He was no longer the short and cute thing. He'd grown to become a man, that was for sure. His features now were rugged and handsome. And the spiked haircut he wore before was trimmed now, shorter and though the old dyed colors still remained in it now it just looked dead gorgeous. His personality was still as sweet as ever and he was gentle in nature as always though the spirit of the pharaoh had rubbed off on him and showed every once in a while.

It wasn't him however that she was looking for. Disappointment flooded through her when she did not see him. But was she really expecting him to be there? Like she had said to herself many times... he would no longer remember her.

Anzu had several more dances to follow, her performances lasting over an hour. There were other acts but she left when her part was finished. Going back to the room she quickly washed off the heavy stage makeup and did herself up lightly this time. A single quick brush of blush across each cheek, a hint of eyeliner to bring out her dazzling blue eyes and just a bit more mascara to darken her long lashes. The bright red was gone from her lips, now a glossy pink coat of lip gloss covering them. Grabbing her jacket she slipped it on over her shoulders and grabbed up her purse, leaving.

She knew Yugi would have been expecting to take back to her grand hotel room but she did not wish to be with him that night. Stage boots left behind it was a pair of black high heeled shoes that laced up her lower legs now clicked as she walked along the pavement. Her hair fluttered back in the cool night breeze and she sighed. People had warned her about walking alone in the city during the middle of the night. With her beautiful looks and fine figure she was a sure target for any wandering perverts. But she was not worried; she knew how to take care of herself.

Besides it was so peaceful out... The only disturbance being the occasional car that passed by now and then, shining its lights across her before disappearing.

Up ahead, maybe a few miles from where she was currently walking was raised a tall building, lights shining from a few windows on every few floors. Her eyes were drawn to the very top. Kaiba Corporation. She wondered if he was up in that office of his right now... Several times he'd taken her there and she would sit in his lap while he worked. He never seemed to be paying attention to her those times so she would take advantage of it, press soft delicate kisses up his smooth neck, let her fingers roam over his lean and firm body. And sometimes he would surprise her, turning away from his work to look at her and return her kisses, whispering words that were sweeter than sugar.

Tears fogged up her eyes and spilled down her cheeks, messing up her vision. It had been over five years since she'd last seen him, last been with him, so why did he still affect her so much?

She could almost hear his voice in her ears, soft, honeyed words flowing from those tender lips.

'Don't cry, Anzu, my dearest... I'm right here... I'll make everything better..." Those had been the words he whispered to her their last night together, before he left and she stayed. They had made love that night and it had been better than anything she had ever experienced. She'd been crying against his chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.

'Don't leave... I don't want to be away from you. You're everything to me, Seto. Please stay!" She had pleaded with him even though she knew it was useless. He had an entire company he needed to take care of and she needed to focus on her dancing career. After more soothing words and loving caresses from him she'd fallen asleep. But if she known he would awake to him gone she would have stayed awake through the entire night, giving him every ounce of her love.

Now she had nothing of him left... Well, that wasn't completely true. The morning she woke up without him she'd found something on the nightstand. A single yellow rose and a card.

Love is forever, my darling. And you shall forever remain in my heart. I'm sorry that I could not remain with you. But I promise that I'm watching you and that I will always be right there at your side. No matter what I'll always love you. You're my first and only...

Your Guardian Angel

"That's right Seto dearest. You were my guardian angel..." She still had that note as well as the now long wilted rose. It kept him alive inside of her.

She had no idea where she would have been without him. But certainly her life would be nowhere near the heaven it was in now... well in every other way. The one thing that would have completed it was missing. Her angel to protect and watch over her...

Her thoughts were broken as a car pulled up next to her and for a moment she was blinded by the bright lights as a figure stepped out. Seto... That had been her first thought.

"Darling, why did you not wait for me? It isn't safe to be out like this, especially for you." No, it was Yugi. She could see his worry on his face and she quickly erased the tears from her face and smiled at her fiancé. "What were you up to anyways?"

Moving in to him she kissed his smooth cheek. "Just thinking about the man who holds my heart, my one true love..." She got into the car and slid the seatbelt over her, catching a glimpse of his bright smile. And she knew he had believed that she had been talking about him...

One last glance out the window and she looking back up at the Kaiba Corporation building she smiled, seeing a single dark figure moving inside at the very top, his body silhouetted against the light inside. And she knew exactly who it was. Her guardian angel was at work.
