Konichiwa!
In case you didn't already know: I'm Angel the Neko! I've written OC stories for Yu-Gi-Oh... Shugo Chara... Sonic the Hedgehog...
But a couple of weeks ago, I decided: No! I can't just write OC stories! People will become bored with stories that circle around me. So I've decided to break away from the usual pattern of OC stories and write a ordinary Fanfic.
Now normally I don't like Anzu. I'm sure a lot of people will agree. However I have grown to like her with the help of Punk Rock Kitsune. But she's still not a character I'm fond of.
So eventually (I don't know how) I came up with this Fanfiction: Diary of a Hopeless Romantic (you can shorten it to DoHR). So without further ado let's get this show on the road!
Summary: Anzu is in love with Atem but he doesn't return her feelings. She runs away from her home with Yugi, Atem and Grandpa to live with Ryou and Yami Bakura. How will she find a way to make the Pharaoh fall in love with her?
This is a Hostshipping. You may have come looking for a Revolutionshipping but I'm afraid it will only be one-sided. There will be slight Puzzleshipping, joke Puppyshipping and some strong one sided Tendershipping. There will also be another shipping that I cannot mention or else it will give away the story. Also some possible Vexshipping but just let me know what you think.
This is also a Tragedy. If you don't like tragedies then I'll just let you read and then warn you when the Tragedy part comes in but if you do decide to do that then I only ask that you review the parts you do read. It means a lot, thanks.
So let's get started!
"I'm sorry, but I don't love you."
Those words cut through me like a knife against one's skin. The words echo through my mind, his face emotionless and yet so honest. I storm out of there quicker than lightning before a storm. Filled with rage and... Well more rage. I'm not the type to get depressed, I'm not some hopeless romantic, some weakling hung up on one guy for the rest of my life.
I'm Anzu Masaki and this is the story of my first true love.
Now up until that point I'd been confused about where my loyalty lay. Did I love Yugi? Or did I love the Pharaoh? Of course now I know that it wasn't really love, it was just some stupid crush that led me astray from ever finding true love.
But I was pretty sure that I'd made up my mind, so I decided to confess my feelings to Yami. Oops did I just say Yami? I mean Atem. Years ago we called him Yami up until the point we found out that his name was Atem. Four years later I still haven't got that in my head, so I just call him Pharaoh and occasionally I call him Yami. It's on a very rare occasion that I call him Atem.
This was one of those occasions. So he was sitting at the counter, reading some magazine about Duel monsters. He was meant to be watching the store for Grandpa but he is the King of Games so it's only natural that he'd be lead astray.
"Atem?" I asked, my feelings were all charged up and I was ready to go like a balloon almost ready to explode.
Realising that it was me he put down the magazine, leaned onto the counter and looked up at me with those dreamy purple eyes of his.
"Hello Anzu. Is there any reason for you to be using my real name?"
Pop. As soon as I heard his deep sexy voice my balloon of confidence was burst. I became shy and I began to shift uncomfortably. I'm not usually like that, usually I'm quite a strong and able woman, at least that's the way I've matured. I wasn't going to let this go so I just came out with it.
"Atem I... I love you. I've been confused for a while for who I really love but now I know that I love you. How do you feel about me?"
Now at that point in my head I was in some kind of dreamy love bubble. I could picture him saying yes and then me being really happy but at this point I must have looked like I wasn't on this Earth anymore because the Pharaoh had to say my name a couple of times to get me to respond.
"Anzu... Anzu! I'm very flattered that you feel this way but... I'm in love with Yugi."
At this point, my emotions were mixed. I felt devastated that the Pharaoh had just rejected me, shocked that he was in love with Yugi, jealous of Yugi because the Pharaoh loved him but also lonely because I had no-one.
"I'm sorry, but I don't love you."
So this is the part where it all went downwards, I stormed out into the rain, I ran away crying, I saw Yugi walking home with his Grandpa under an umbrella that was designed like the back of a duel monsters card. He waved at me but his hand slowly receded when he realised that I was upset. At the time I was angry because he didn't stop to ask me what was wrong but of course I know now that I was running too fast for him to speak to me.
I stopped as soon as I reached a dry patch. It was underneath a cover for the front of a building so I rested against the wall of that building to dry my tears. I must have looked very sorry for myself, head hung low, leaning against the wall, sopping wet. Now I know that things could have been worse.
I'd actually been living with the Pharaoh, Yugi and Mr. Moto up until that point. But obviously I couldn't then because it would have been awkward. So I was just standing there, wallowing in self pity, wondering where I'd spend the night.
Then It was as if my Guardian Angel had sent for help because out of the building came none other than-
"Anzu?"
Ryou Bakura, holding a trash bag and wearing a blue apron over his white and blue Batlle City top and blue jeans.
"Anzu are you okay? Why aren't you at home with Yami and Yugi?" He asked as he put a friendly hand on my shoulder
"There's no home for me there anymore." I responded to him in a mumble.
"Well then you can come and live with us! I don't want you to catch a cold out here."
So he led me into the large apartment building, up to his and Bakura's apartment: number 55. When I saw it for the first time, I was shocked. I didn't even realise Bakura and Ryou could afford a place like that!
As we came in the front door, the first thing I saw was the open door to the bathroom. Next to that was the fridge, symbolising the start of the kitchen. Further along on the row was everything you'd expect to find in a kitchen, sides for preparing food, cooker, dishwasher. Then at the very end was the window, shut since it was quite a cold night. There was a counter to separate the kitchen from the living room.
In the living room it was quite simple. There was a sofa (big enough to seat about 4 people I'd say) and in front was a television. To the right of the television was a door to yet another room and in front of that door was the stairs to the second floor. I could see a glass sort of fence to make sure no-one could fall and out on the landing was the desk. Then if you carried on then there'd probably be a door to another bedroom.
I gasped at the sight of this spacious apartment and Ryou told me that the laptop was upstairs if I wanted to use it. He hurried away to carry on in the kitchen and I did as suggested and headed upstairs to go on the laptop.
The first thing I did was go on the Internet: I just had to tell Serenity about what had happened. After I finished explaining, she pondered it over for a while.
-Anzu and Serenity's conversation-
Serenity says:
So are you just gonna be livin with Ry and Bakura for a while?
Anzu says:
Pretty much. What shud I do about th Pharaoh?
Serenity says:
Hmmm...
Maybe try and make him love you?
When Ryu first wanted me 2 go out with him he surrounded himself wiv fangirls and I got pretty jealous so Joey beat him up and I asked him out when he was in hospital.
Anzu says:
...Not the ending I was expecting
Serenity says:
^^
Anzu says:
But yh you're right. Maybe I should do that!
Serenity says:
Good luck!
-Anzu became offline-
I headed downstairs, thinking of how I could get the Pharaoh to love me. I didn't have fangirls like Otogi so what could I do?
"Sorry Mariku but Anzu-chan is going to be staying with us for a while and we won't be able to have you round for a bit."
It was then as I heard the white-haired male talking on the phone that I realised what I was gonna do. Ryou was my answer. I'd go out with him and make the Pharaoh jealous. The plan seemed perfect at the time and I was raring to go. So I approached Ryou with intent to seduce. Then when I was right behind Ryou, so close that I could almost feel his skin against mine, I whispered into his ear making him drop the plate that he was washing.
"Hey Ryou..." I whispered seductively.
"A-Anzu?" He stuttered, I remember feeling how warm he was getting and how stiff he was.
"You know I've always wanted to say how I absolutely love your hair."
I ran my fingers through his hair, it was silky and smooth and a beautiful white yet silvery colour. He loosened up slightly and our bodies became warmer and even closer. I picture Atem as I turn Ryou around and lean in to kiss him.
Then the door slammed open, we both jumped and turned to look at the front door where Ryou's dark half stood looking slightly angry but trying to keep it together. He walked over to the counter and sat. Ryou quickly took the food out of the oven and put it in front of Bakura and two other empty spaces.
Dinner was quiet. A couple of times I swore Bakura was glaring at me. But... He didn't matter to me, only the Pharaoh mattered and Ryou, the man that would get me closer to him.
Okay so that was the first chapter! I won't update until I know that people are interested so please, reviews are appreciated and essential if you want to find out what happens. Also don't worry: the starting Author's note won't always be that long.
Coming up in the next chapter...
"Who's up for a walk?" I say cheerfully.
Bakura got up to leave the room but Ryou stayed with a happy grin upon his face.
"A-a walk? Sounds great!" He smiled.
But I took note of this and I brushed my hand lightly against his, it must have sent chlls or something down his spine because he suddenly froze p and started walking really stiffly- rather like a penguin.
I couldn't help it: I burst out laughing.
