A Tangled Web We Weave

"Mazaki Anzu. You are being questioned on suspicion of murder. Do you understand these terms for this arrest?"

A detective finished the start of his questioning with a stern look towards the lead suspect of a crime that would have him promoted once she was put away. The woman, Anzu Mazaki, sat emotionless to his opening statement as she looked at him in the eye, twirling a silk handkerchief between her fingers. A single tear trickled down her face as she looked down at her dirty hands, she was a shadow of her former self and she knew it all to well.

"Miss Mazaki? Did you hear me?" the detective questioned, his patience stretched at this woman's constant wondering mind. Anzu looked up from her thoughts and showed the detective her tear stained face; she never showed her emotion, why now?

"Miss Mazaki. Can you tell me what happened five years ago, in reference to a one…" he then looked at his file "Motou Yugi?"

Anzu swallowed hard and sank her head yet drew a slight nod.

"And…." The detective pressed

"Yugi" Anzu smiled as she closed her eyes

"Mazaki-san" a bright small voice stopped a young woman in her tracks and she swung round to meet the small youth who reached her shoulders.

"Motou-kun?" the girl questioned as she looked at the guy who even though was her age at 18 didn't really look it.

"What could I do for you?"

"Well I know that I should do this formally but…" Yugi stammered as he looked up to the girl " …but I would like to offer the position to you, if you will take it?"

Anzu couldn't believe her ears. She needed a job so badly and purely by chance she found herself applying for a job at a game store, which was partially owned by a school colleague.

"Motou-kun. Ah! I mean Motou-sama, thank you so much!" Anzu bowed respectfully with a joyful smile.

"There's no need to be polite Mazaki san. Please just call my by my first name" Yugi smiled yet a crimson blush tainted his cheeks when Anzu hugged him out of joy.

"Ok Yugi-kun then you must do the same"

"Hai. I shall see you on Monday then?" Yugi stammered once Anzu let go.

"First thing" Anzu smiled

"Why did you apply for a job at Motou-kun's game shop, the Kame Game shop?" The detective asked, breaking Anzu from her thoughts.

"I needed the money" Anzu plainly spoke not looking up

"But why? Your parents were well off. You didn't need the money that badly?"

"I did. My parents didn't give a damn about me; because I was 18 I was chucked out of my home and made to fend for myself. Otou-san called it 'Moral Cleansing' where if I could make it out in the world I would be a good member of society" Anzu sneered "And I believed him"

The detective looked at her. He knew she was telling the truth.

"How did you begin your relationship with Motou Yugi?" The detective asked pushing her to the confession he so desperately needed.

"Friendship and wires crossed" Anzu replied monotonously.

A.N

Ok I know that was short but it's just a taster of what's going to happen. Anzu is going to be involved with a few characters from the anime and the plot will thicken immensely, so keep you eyes peeled

Please email or review telling me if you like it or not (?) and if a should carry on
