Yoku: WAHH!!! Another story!! I'm planning on keeping this story at a minimum… At least 5 chapters long but who knows; basically it's going to be an Anzu centered fic with a couple of OC's confronting her or her confronting them.

As you may know… or will know, this is a Seto and Anzu fic. It only covers what Anzu has to say with her time with Seto, or something like that. You would just have to wait and see.

Um… oh yeah! The summary sounds very odd but I couldn't really describe what she will be doing, but I will say this. Anzu will have a romantic 'fling' with the man she really hates.

Anyways… I hope you enjoy this new story of mine, since this year is going to be a bit difficult for me. My other stories are going to take awhile for me to continue so I'm very sorry for all the wait. Mainly: Running In The Rain, Instant Noodles, and King Me… I'm still trying to get all the 'bugs' out :P

Rated just in case…

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh but I do own the OC's that will appear in this fic.

Playing Pretend

Summary: All she had to do was pretend… but the poor girl seemed to take it very far…

Chapter 1

Kaiba Seto...

Tall, lean, and… muscular…?

Every woman's dreams to have a bit of… that… But, get to close to that blue eyed dragon could mean a serious death…

That is why Masaki Anzu always keeps her distance… Of course it's different when their fates seem to always collide…

A girl sighed after leaning back in bed. The tick of the clock followed as she placed an arm on top of her forehead.

"I wouldn't call it fate," the blue in her eyes fell.

Amethyst eyes perked away from her book. "Why not…?" she replied in a monotone like voice, "it's true…"

Anzu growled, "Me and that jerk?! Yeah, right!" she turned in bed her cheek rested against her flat palm.

Her friend stared at her 'sleeping' form of her behind and sighed. "So, you don't like him…?"

A brief pause.

"I wouldn't call it that…" she heard a mumble. The corners of her friend's mouth lifted in almost understanding, until the girl in bed words continued her previous statement.

"More like HATE…"

The black of her braids rested on her shoulders as the girl beside her continued to frown. Her hands still supported her novel. "Hate is such a strong word, Anzu…" she tried to reason.

An audible sigh collected. "Fine…" there was a short shuffle coming from the bed she laid. "I strongly dislike him," the brunette stressed her words in order to make a point.

Another sigh and a shake of a head; the monotone girl laid her book down on top of her lap, her hands rested on the cover. "Anzu, answer me this," her friend turned in order to stare at her. "Why do you…" she stopped in order to collect her friend's precise words, "strongly dislike him…?"

Anzu laid flat on her back like an angel spreading his or her wings. The school uniform she wore stretched from her sudden action.

"Well, he's arrogant, cocky, a billionaire bastard!" she nearly screamed loosing her nerves at the thought of him.

The occupant in the single room raised a thin brow. 'That's a new one…'

"But besides all that…" her voice became calm.

"Hmm…" her listener waited patiently, the tone of the confessor slightly changed. Her amethyst orbs rested as she seemed to wait as though her friend was thinking wrongly of the man.

Alas she was wrong…

"He treats my friends and I like trash! Dirt! Bums on the streets!" she ranted, turning her head away, and got back in to her previous position.

The other girl sighed once more, her eyes half lidded. "He's not that bad…" she turned opening her book back, forgetting the conversation all together.

"Yui!" Anzu jumped facing her. "You can't possibly like that jerk-wad!" her blue eyes held tremors.

Yui, her name then said, glanced from the top of her novel before going back to the words inside. "Like I said… He's not that bad…" she repeated ignoring the girl's comment.

Anzu pouted but lay back with a 'flop'. The springs in the nurses' office gave a squeak. Silence was all that was left minus the cheers coming from outside where the window sat. With the clock ticking, Anzu closed her eyes for just a tad till Yui decided to question her.

"Are you going to apologize?" a silent flip of a page, her orbs never left her book.

"…No…" a depressed tone made its way.

"Why not…?"

Anzu turned in her 'sleep'. "Maybe I don't feel like…" she replied rather childishly, her short brown hair fanned to one side.

A sigh, "Anzu… you just kicked the poor man in his restricted area… You don't want to kick him again…" she replied methodically.

All she heard was a stiffened laugh as Anzu covered her mouth from her side, the tears threatened to fall.

"Anzu…" a stern voice battled.

"S-sorry…" the girl decided to turn, "but you know… he deserved it," she pointed with a finger.

"I'm sure he did…" Yui glanced back at her book after giving the girl a firm talking to. "Just apologize…" she voiced with a motherly tone.

"But—"

Yui held up a hand, "No, buts, ifs, or whines, Anzu… You know how much that irritates me…" she turned a page.

"Sorry…" she bowed her head, "but I'm still not going to do it!"

"Suck it up…"

Anzu flinted but then turned away. Silence engulfed then a sigh soon followed.

"You've been hanging out with Kin and Lona too much…" Yui rolled her eyes as she mumbled mentioning her other gal pals. "Anzu just do me this small favor and apologize… He's not that bad…"

The girl continued to pout but gave in anyways. "Fine…" she rolled to the side and slid off the bed, "but I'm not going to like it…" she made her way out the door.

"… I know…" Yui turned the page. "Oh and another thing…" she turned her head in the other girl's direction, "pretend to like him…"

Anzu paused at the door and shuddered. "Right…" she walked out the tail of her skirt fluttered.

TO BE CONTINUED…?

Yoku: Yeah… The ending wasn't really terrific to say the least, but hey if you wanna know more about why she did what she did, you would just have to tune in next time for Chapter 2. Sorry IF it was a bit confusing...

Also sorry for the use of grammar, spelling, and OOC-ness; it may be fixed in the near future. As for further updates on my other stories; sorry I can't really say… since I don't know myself.

On a side note, if anyone has a story/plot idea that you may want to read and yet, feels too lazy to write. I may take the time and write one for you. Say it'll be an act of thanks for being a fan of my writing… or something like that.

(rubs head sheepishly)

But don't get your hopes up… I did say 'may'.

Please read and review. Oh and please no flames!
