Life's Unexpecting Turns...
(Well, this is my first fanfic. Woo-hoo? o.o;;; I usually have a lot of work and it's stressful for me. Always writing things that don't interest me. So I decided to go into writing something that is of my interest. I like Yu-Gi-Oh! and I've always wanted to write a Jounouchi x Anzu fanfic. Dunno why, but that pairing seems to go well from my point of view. If it's to your interest go ahead R&R. I've never been too good in English class, so I'm not exactly one who is heavily on detail yet. And please, no flames. I like to treat people with respect just as much as I like to receive it.)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter I - An Unavoidable Turn of Events
Introduction... It was the first several weeks of senior year in high school. So many things have been going on. While he's not attending school anymore, Kaiba is still acting like the same rich snob he's always been, but there may be some competition since Otogi's business is rising as well. Mai has left quite a while ago to America and no one has heard from her since. Bakura has left the school not being heard of, since Akifa has taken over going on another hunt for the sennen items. As for the four friends, Honda is trying anything to make a quick buck, yet he always fails and seems to be losing money instead. Jounouchi tries to get a girl, but has no such luck. He gets shut down every single time and his reputation is getting stained. Anzu has gotten over her infatuation for the other Yuugi. She is simply trying to have fun and achieving her dreams, but for some reasons she occasionally feels alone and mildly depressed. Yuugi still remains quiet overall, especially his feelings for Anzu growing heavily by the minute. He's been a friend with her for so long now, and yet he has said nothing at all. They are all unaware of what is ahead for them . . .
At school during lunch... Right now during lunch Jounouchi is sitting down in a long, green table with some mess on the sides. Right across from him is a freshman that is a bit new to the school. They are playing a game of duel monsters, indicated by the mat on the table. Honda is looking at the duel with interest for some reason. Other students walk over look to the duel as well, as Honda tries to push some of them to see the duel well.
Jounouchi smiles with full confidence as he stares at a card. "Alright, now I play Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Prepare to lose this duel! One attack and it's over for you! You should have never challenged me, finalist in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City!" Honda looks on with surprise, but has sort of a malicious smile on his face. He doesn't know what is going on, but he assumes that Jounouchi will win. "Jounouchi, you go and win! I know you have the skill and talent." He turns around for a brief moment and talks to himself in a low voice. "And once you finish him I can get my money from this little bet." At that moment the freshman yawns from boredom, as if he's not interested or challenged by this duel. Then he moves his hand over to his cards and moves two cards around. "Go, Bell of Destruction and Defense Wheel. Red-Eyes is gone, plus you lose all your points and lose the game as well." The child extends his hand out to Honda. "My money, please?" Honda turns around and his eyes widen completely noticing that Jounouchi lost the game. He fumbles with taking out the wad of cash from his pocket as he's saying some incoherent stuff while frustrated. Honda hands the money to the freshman. The kid counts the money, then picks up his cards and walks off with a smile on his face as Jounouchi's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise. The girls laugh at Jounouchi and walk off ruining his luck with girls further by spreading rumors and gossip. Honda walks back up to Jounouchi with a look of anger and disappointment. "Jounouchi you ass, thanks a lot! You made me waste all that money for no good use! Next time I should bet against you!" Jounouchi's eyes widen and he clenches his fist tightly. "You did what!? You just cared about the money!?" Honda smiles and sweats nervously. "Uh, no. Y-you the best and all. Hey, I can't be late for class. See ya!" Honda runs off quickly to anywhere he can to escape. Jounouchi shakes his fist. "I'm gonna get you for this!" He sighs and walks back to the table to pick up his cards.
Nearby Yuugi and Anzu are walking together heading for their next class together. They are briefly talking about the homework. Anzu is talking on and on about ideas for the work they have to do. "Well, I'm not sure on ideas, but maybe I can make some sort of visualization as well! But I don't want to look like a showoff for just a small speech. How about if I . . ." Yuugi is simply nodding his head with a smile on his face. He looks down seeing Anzu's shoes and socks. He begins to elevate his eyes up bit by bit watching her move. This is something he wouldn't even think of doing, but he does so for some reason today. Distracted by the nodding and eyeing, Yuugi doesn't happen to notice a large rock right up ahead. As soon as his foot comes in contact with the rock, he starts to wobble and shake losing his balance instantly. He falls forward to the blacktop flat on his face. "Yuugi!" Anzu kneels down and helps him up right away wondering how come he didn't notice that rock on the ground. "Are you alright?" He nods his head smiling to cover up the embarrassment. "Yea, I'm just fine. Don't worry about me." Yuugi then turns around for a brief moment with a flushed expression on his face, thinking that he will never do that again. He turns to Jounouchi seeing he's all alone picking up his cards wondering how come. "Hey, look. How come Jounouchi is alone? Isn't Honda usually with him at this time?" Anzu nods wondering about what Yuugi said as she has a curious expression on her face. "Maybe we should find out?" They decide to walk over to him and perhaps help him if needed.
Jounouchi is picking up his cards while mumbling some things on how stupid a person he is. "Yea, my friends say I'm a great duelist. And they also say that I have luck and skill. Then why don't I have any luck with girls!?" He hears some footsteps approaching when he turns his head and sees his other two friends. Jounouchi takes a deep breath to calm himself and not look like an ass in front of his friends. "Yuugi, Anzu? What are you two doing here?" Jounouchi asks curiously as he picks up his cards. A small wind blows and some cards get knocked down on the ground. Yuugi rubs his face a bit from his fall. "Well, we noticed you were here all alone and perhaps you could have used some help. I'll get those cards for you." Yuugi crouches down and begins to pick up the cards that fell on the ground. Anzu then helps as well picking up the cards on the table. Soon when Yuugi finishes picking up the cards he turns to the side and sees Anzu's feet. He tilts his head upward gradually until he almost looks under her skirt. When his consciousness finally kicks in he turns away and stands up with an embarrassed and flushed expression on his face. Quickly he stands up and hands the cards to Jounouchi, then begins to run off. "Uh, I'm going to go to the library, okay? I'll see you guys!" He disappears in seconds running while rubbing his head trying his best to forget those impure thoughts.
Anzu and Jounouchi blink at Yuugi's sudden disappearance, and then work together in picking up the cards. "So, what happened? Tried to impress people and it didn't go well?" Jounouchi nods his head a bit disappointed. "Yea. As of this moment more gossip is spreading saying more shit about me. Well, I guess I fail at that as well as my classes." After she picks up the rest of the cards, she looks to him and hands him the set of cards, then places her hand under his to try to comfort him. "Don't worry, you'll find someone special. Who knows, maybe she could be the one you may least expect." He takes his cards and looks straight at Anzu, smiling for the words of confidence. All of a sudden, his eyes stop at the point that he sees hers, noticing her sparkling light-blue eyes. He drops the smile right away and goes into a trance. As his eyes don't turn away his mind goes completely blank, forgetting about all his worries and problems except for one single question on his mind ["Why is this happening?"] Anzu notices her friend's trance for a second, then looks at her watch seeing that she will be late to class. "Well, guess it's time to go. I'll see you soon okay?" All Jounouchi is able to do is nod while still in his trance. Anzu begins to walk away in the opposite direction that Jounouchi had to go, as she waves goodbye to his friend while smiling. He waves back slowly watching her leave until the point she wasn't visible anymore. Still thinking about what he was thinking, he shakes his head trying to forget all this. "I must be crazy. Maybe I got brain freeze from all that ice cream." He places his deck of cards in his pocket and decides to leave and hoping to forget about all this.
