Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh!

Author's Note: Yay! My side-fic to TttR has finally arrived! -confetti- To those who haven't read Tykes to the Rescue, don't worry! You don't have to read it, these are all AU and don't have a connection to each other.

To those of my readers who HAVE read my other fic, yes, I will take requests and I have something new to this fic. . . PAIRINGS! Yay! I'm not particularly fond of yaoi, but if you want it THAT bad I'll do my best to meet your standards. I will except any and all pairings so if you want a YamixYugi chapter and then a YamixAnzu chapter, tell me. I'm open for anything..just no lemons, lol. Oh, and before anyone asks, since this is an AU, Yami and Yugi can/cannot be related depending on the request. This also applies with my other fic. Though, I'm not really doing pairings in my other one, so I guess they will be related..-sweatdrop-

Okay! I'm done blabbing! Enjoy!

Chapter One: You Win Again

"You go."

"Nu-uh, you go!"

"Oh. My. God! You two are pathetic! Here, I'll go first! And to think I thought you two were brave."

Anzu Mazaki rolled her eyes and walked ahead of the two boys. Jounouchi Katsuya and Honda Hiroto stared at the building in front of them. The three were just outside the gates that led to the next step in their path to Adulthood: Highschool.

Anzu secretly laughed at her two friends' antics. They could be such children sometimes. It was the first day of school and they could officially call themselves Freshmen. It was a wonderful feeling, but still a little scary.

"Anzu! Jou, Honda!"

Jounouchi, who had been trying to put Honda in a headlock, looked up and grinned.

"Yugi, Yams! Wha's up?"

Yugi and Yami Motou walked up to their friends. Yugi, smiling as always, gave each his friends a bear hug. Yugi had been away most of the summer at a swim camp, and hadn't seen much of them.

"Don't call me that!" Yami growled. He stomped moodily through the gates and into the courtyard.

"What's with him?" Honda jutted a thumb toward the sulking teen.

Yugi scratched his head nervously, knowing what was coming next. "He. . he, uh, kinda asked Miho out–"

"WHAT?"

"BUTHEGOTTURNEDDOWN!" Yugi added at light speed, trying to calm a fuming Anzu down.

"What could he possibly see in her!" Anzu crossed her arms and glared daggers at the ground.

The gang knew Anzu had always had sort of a crush on Yami Motou, but only recently had it become a full-fledged, slightly insane, crush.

"Calm down. He's not dating her." Jounouchi tried to calm his female friend down, but still kept his distance, wanting to keep his head.

"Oh, no he isn't!"

"Oh, no who isn't?"

Yami had snuck up behind Anzu and smirked lightly when he had effectively made her jump. Anzu spun around quickly, face slightly flushed.

"N-nothing! Really!"Yami quirked an eyebrow in amusement.

BRRRIIIINNNGGG!

"Oh, the bell!" With that said, Anzu Mazaki was gone.

Chemistry-3rd Period

'Why do I have to act like such an idiot around him? He probably thinks I'm such a freak!'

Anzu sighed dejectedly at her own thoughts. Yugi, who was in her class, looked over at her worriedly.

No one knew, not even Yami, that he had a crush on his childhood friend. Yugi knew Anzu had always liked Yami, but he couldn't help feeling a little jealous. Of course, he could see why everyone liked his brother. He was confident and smart, and an expert at any kind of game, no matter what it was. He was completely opposite of Yugi. Yugi was shy, quiet and a bit of a people-pleaser. He couldn't stand it if his friends were fighting. Whereas, Yami had confidence enough to pick one side and prove the other wrong.They may have been twins, but they were completely different.

Lunch

"Aw, man! The food here is, like, ten times better than what they had in Middle School!" Jounouchi said before taking a huge bite out of his burger.

While Jounouchi stuffed his face, Honda reached over to try and steal a fry.

"HAN'S OFFMA FYES!" Jounouchi glared at Honda who only laughed.

"Aw, dude! Look at your face! You look like a cannibal!"

Jounouchi blinked stupidly. Anzu rolled her eyes and shoved her compact mirror in his face. Jounouchi stared at his ketchup covered reflection.

"Oh. Oops." Jounouchi grinned before wiping his face. His grin widened as an idea formed in his head.

"So. . .Anzu."

Anzu looked up from eating her sandwich she had made and gave him a questioning look. She grabbed her cup of water and took a sip.

"Are you gonna ask anyone to the Freshman Social this Friday?"

Anzu choked.

"Are you okay?" Yugi asked a large sweatdrop forming.

"I-I'm fine! Wh-why do you a-ask?" Anzu pushed her hair out of her face. A blush was prominent on her cheeks. "And no, I-I'm not asking anyone." She addressed Jounouchi.

"Aw, why not?" Yami asked, completely oblivious to what was going on.

"B-because, I'm n-not very g-good at asking."

"Then," Yami turned away, a slight blush forming. "Why not go with me?"

Yami would never admit it, but for some reason he just couldn't stop thinking of Anzu, the way she had reacted that morning when she found out he had asked out that Miho girl.

Truth be told, he wasn't really that interested in Miho. He really only wanted to get Anzu's attention. He guessed it worked.

Anzu and the other's stared at Yami's announcement. Yugi's eyes dropped solemnly. He could vaguely hear Anzu accept the proposal, but he was lost in his own thoughts.

'You win again, Yami. You always do.'

Fin

So? How was that? Slightly more depressing than my other fic, hm? Leave me a nice review pleaassee?
