YM: What am I kidding, Yuugiou will never belong to me… - cries -

KT: Yami Malika, I would like to give you the rights to Yuugiou.

YM: REALLY?

KT: No.

YM: :crawls into a corner: …my pride…

The song, S.O.S., belongs to ABBA.

Summary: Anzu finally confesses her love to Atemu, but later regrets admitting those feelings. Does Atemu feel the same way about Anzu? Slight OOC. Yuugi x Anzu, Yami x Anzu, slight Jonouchi x Mai. R&R!

Here I am again! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter of Penalty Game! Of course she was going to choose Yami. In case you haven't noticed, I have an interest in the Mou Hitori no Yuugi x Yuugi x Anzu love triangle.

Let's get down to business. First of all, the title S.O.S. is merely based off of a song by ABBA; it has nothing to with "saving our ship". I was listening to it one day, and when I heard the lyrics, my mind was like, 'OMG! THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT FIC!'

I have another thing I would like to add. I just want to say I was touched by all of the reviews I received for my two fics. You guys are the best!

Without further adieu, I present the first chapter of S.O.S.!

"Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find?

I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind

Whatever happened to our love?

I wish I understood

It used to be so nice; it used to be so good"

Ch. 1: The Confession

-

The skies grew dark over the city of Domino, Japan, as a young brunette, in her late teens, burst out of the Kame game shop. The girl was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Anzu!" a small boy with multicolored hair yelled, but the girl had already turned the corner.

'I ruined it. I totally ruined it! He would never feel the same way toward me! I'm such an idiot!' Anzu cried in her mind, running into the streets.

Just then, there was a crack of lightning, and a huge rumble of thunder, causing the clouds to open up, and drench poor Anzu Mazaki.

"What am I going to do now?" she choked, looking at the sky with her tear filled eyes.

'Why did I have to say that to him? I could have just kept my mouth shut, and everything would have been the same. I'm so selfish!' she thought, as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Anzu didn't know where she was going, but before she realized it, she was at her house. She fumbled through her soaked purse and entered the house, expecting her parents to be there. To her surprise, well, not really, she was greeted with a yellow sticky-note with her mother's handwriting:

Anzu,

Your father and I are leaving for

another business trip to America.

You know the routine.

- Mom

Anzu sighed, and crumpled up the note. She threw it to the ground, and tried to recollect what just happened. When she did, she wound up crying once again.

Flashback

"I had a great time today, Atemu. Thank you so much!" Anzu cheerfully said to the ex-Pharaoh, and King of Games, Atemu.

"No, thank you. Today was the most fun I had in a long time," Atemu replied, flashing Anzu one of his rare smiles that would make anyone melt.

When they both entered the game shop, Anzu started to think.

'It's now or never, I have to tell him how I feel.'

"It looks like we're going to get a storm today...Anzu?" Atemu asked, looking at the flustered girl.

"Umm..."

"Are you feeling all right?" Atemu asked kindly, placing his hand (uh...Yuugi's hand) on Anzu's forehead, checking for a fever

"A-Atemu?" Anzu stuttered, looking if possible, more flushed.

"Yes?"

"I-I..." Anzu took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

"I love you! Okay, I said it!" she blurted out. Realizing how she said it, Anzu immediately covered her mouth with her hands, and lowered her head.

After an awkward silence, Anzu looked up at Atemu. His eyes were covered by golden bangs, resulting in no show of emotion whatsoever. Anzu's eyes widened in fear, when there was a flash of light, and Yuugi was standing where Atemu was, looking confused.

"Anzu, what just happened?" Yuugi asked with a worried tone. He held the Millennium Puzzle, and looked up at the mortified girl, looking just as scared. "He...won't say anything to me."

Anzu started to sob. She then burst through the door, running into the streets.

"Anzu!" Yuugi yelled, but she had already turned the corner . . .

X, X, X,

Yuugi stepped back into the game shop that his grandfather, Sugoroku Mutou owns, and where him and Yuugi reside, along with Yuugi's mother. Yuugi's mother is hardly ever home, because she likes to accompany Yuugi's father when he goes on his 'important business trips', though Yuugi has a feeling where they really are. But now, he has more important things to figure out. He has to know what's wrong with Atemu, and Anzu as well. He raced upstairs into his room.

For hours, Yuugi tried to contact Atemu through their mind link, but there was no luck. This meant that Atemu was deep within his Soul Room...or was being stubborn, heard everything that Yuugi said, and refused to talk back. He even tried to call Anzu, but no one picked up the phone.

"What should I do?" Yuugi asked himself, sulking. This resulted usually with Atemu taking his spirit form, and consoling Yuugi. Nothing happened.

"I got it! Maybe Jonouchi can help me." Yuugi said out loud, picking up the phone.

"Hello?" a polite female voice said into the receiver.

"Hi Shizuka! It's Yuugi. Is Jonouchi there?" Yuugi cheerfully replied, trying to hide the concern in his voice.

"I'm sorry Yuugi. You just missed him. Mai asked Jonouchi out, and since I was vis-uh...

"Swear to me that you won't tell anyone, especially to Yuugi. Please!"

"Shizuka?"

"Sorry, I just spaced out for a moment," Shizuka nervously laughed.

"By the way, have you heard anything from Anzu? She left so suddenly today, and she won't answer her phone." Yuugi stated with worry.

"Uh, I think I hear lightning in the phone. I have to go, bye!"

X, X, X,

Shizuka hung up the phone quickly, and sighed. She sat down on her couch, and recalled her visit...with Anzu.

Flashback

Anzu heard faint knocking sounds at her door. She then awoke with a startle, realizing that she had fallen asleep on the floor. She rubbed the back of her neck, and stood up. The knocking continued.

"Who is it?" Anzu said opening the door, greeted by the smiling face of her friend Shizuka, who let herself in.

"Hey Anz- Oh my gosh! What happened to you?" Shizuka shrieked, at the site of Anzu.

Anzu looked down at her disheveled figure, and was just as shocked as Shizuka, until she remembered what happened between her and Atemu.

"Oh Shizuka! He hates me now, I know it!" Anzu started to wail, hugging her friend.

"Who?" Shizuka asked in confusion.

"A-Atemu!"

Anzu tightened her grip, nearly crushing Shizuka.

"Tell me what happened, maybe I can help." Shizuka offered, handing Anzu a handkerchief.

"Thanks..." Anzu mumbled, blowing her nose, releasing Shizuka.

Anzu and Shizuka, who were now sitting on the couch, discussed every detail, about her day with Atemu, the confession, and Atemu's reaction.

'Wow, so she really does love him.' Shizuka thought, with a smile spreading across her face.

Anzu, who was nearly buried in the handkerchief looked at Shizuka staring off into space with a huge smile.

"You're...smiling?" Anzu asked, giving Shizuka a nasty look.

Shizuka gasped, and returned from her fantasies, causing Anzu to chuckle a bit.

"Please, tell me if there is anything I can do." Shizuka demanded, very seriously.

"No, but thank you again Shizuka." Anzu said with a smile, shaking her head. "I feel better just talking about it with someone."

"No Problem. That's what I'm here for." Shizuka beamed.

"Butswear to me that you wont tell anyone, especially Yuugi. Please!" Anzu begged. "When he switched places with Atemu, he had no idea what had happened, so it's best he doesn't know I... I love Atemu.

"I swear, I won't tell a soul!"

"Thank you so much. I rea-"

Shizuka, who had grabbed Anzu's hands, cut her off.

"Don't give up Anzu."

Anzu nodded, and opened the door for Shizuka.

"See you later!" Shizuka yelled over the thunder, opening up her umbrella to head back to her apartment . . .

X, X, X,

Shizuka giggled at the thought of Anzu and Atemu together.

'...I hope things will turn out well.'

She turned on the television to check on the weather. Suddenly, Jonouchi and Mai burst through the door, soaking wet, and laughing like maniacs.

"Hey Shizuka, we're back!" Jonouchi laughed.

Shizuka ran to her brother, and hugged him tightly.

"Jonouchi! I was so worried! You didn't come home when you said!" Shizuka cried.

"Well, the storm was really bad, so that slowed us down a bit," Mai said, running her fingers through her wet, tangled hair.

"Don't forget, we also got pulled over three times," Jonouchi added pulling away from Shizuka.

Shizuka and Jonouchi both stared at Mai, who sweat dropped.

"Err... I think I should get going." Mai quickly stammered, heading towards the door. "Uh, see you later guys. Bye Jou!"

Mai gave Jonouchi a wink, and shut the door.

Jonouchi plopped on the couch and stretched.

"How was your date?" Shizuka asked smiling, sitting next to him.

"Yeah! We had a great time! First, we went to the movies, and then it got boring, so we snuck out. Next we went to dinner an-." Jonouchi stopped, and started to blush. "Wait! We never went on a date exactly! It was uh…It was..." He looked over at his sister who was doubled over laughing.

"I- I'm sorry." Shizuka gasped wiping a tear from her eye. "Oh! I almost forgot! Yuugi called. He wanted to talk to you. He sounded really upset," she added with concern.

Jonouchi stood up, with a worried look in his eyes.

'Yuugi called? I wonder what happened?' he thought to himself, walking to the phone.

"I'm gonna call him now," Jonouchi told Shizuka, who nodded in response.

With that, he dialed Yuugi's number.

THE END OF CHAPTER 1! TO BE CONTINUED!

Well, what did you think? I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! I have to admit, it was quite emotional, and Anzu might seem a bit OOC. But, if you think about it logically, her true love just rejected her. Or did he? - snickers -

-

Oh, I would also like to add that school is terribly close now. I've been saying this in all of my fics… but you know this is my first multi chapter fic with a steady plot.

Like always, depending on the number of reviews I get, I'll put up the next chapter. Now, for your job! points at "submit reviews" button. Cookies for those who review! XD
