Disclaimer- How the heck would I own a wonderful T.V. show like Yu-Gi-Oh and NOT make Anzu and Seto an item? And I don't own faith Hill's Breath either.
Let it Snow
It seems love works in mysterious ways. No one would think the owner of a famous company would come out to walk in the snow. No one would ever think a beautiful dancer would skip her dance lessons to look at tiny ice crystals. But they did.
Seto groaned, his cell phone kept ringing that stupid Nokia tune. (Don't own that) The urge to throw the cell phone into the snow and leave it there forever was over whelming. But then again he had agreed to Mokuba to live a little. 'Evil child.' He briefly wondered how the 10 year old managed to push his buttons so easily, but as a dead weight ran into his back, can you really concentrate easily?
Anzu on the other hand had been enjoying herself. Running around in the newly fallen snow felt new to her. 'I've done this so many times, but it's always refreshing.' Who cared if her parents had to leave right after Christmas, who cared that Yugi had left with a lot of her friends on vacation. Cursing herself for not accepting the offer only lasted for a while after she figured that where they were going rarely had snowfall. The fact that the walk was covered in ice which was covered in snow never occurred until she saw someone in front of her, and made her stop a little too quickly.
"Oof!" Anzu slipped and fell onto the rather warm back of someone. A short cry was made from the person, Seto Kaiba. 'Oh great, idiots and evil brothers today, my life is perfect.'
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry," seemed to keep coming when Seto finally gained enough energy to hear again. 'Scratch that, idiotic cheerleader, great…'
Seeming to freeze in the time-lapse deep blue orbs looked into icy eyes that put the snow to shame had it been blue. But the coldness of herself in the icy fluff and the puffs of breath that came out of her were forgotten, at least, for a second or two. 'When did that happen?' Meaning at least for the moment when Seto kaiba would leave work for a walk in the park.
'What is she staring at?' "Yes Mazaki?" Anzu winced at the icy tone, quickly reminding her that her legs and butt were freezing she got up quickly. "…" Stepping up she turned and left, momentarily forgetting of the cold yet again.
Coming back home the young dancer turned on the radio. Because one of her least favorite songs to dance to was on she changed the station. 'Breathe' by Faith hill was on, "ah well." Anzu sighed as the music flowed.
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across you face and I've never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying right up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart.
The soft instruments played with the air, making her usual quick movements settle as she went in to the upbeat chorus.
'Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just a beatCaught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush,
Baby isn't that the way love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Anzu's breathe felt caught in her throat as she fought the urge to scream as the beat slowed down to a small beat. Her movements were strange to her and she wanted to change them.
Just Breathe!
The dancer's movements picked up as the guitars change and the music sounded more like rock 'n Roll instead of country. Her parents weren't home so she allowed herself to scream at the feeling that had developed in her throat.
In a way I know my heart is waking up
She saw the walk in the park flash through her mind as once again the song became calm.
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now
Anzu felt that moment when she slid into Kaiba, falling into the unforgiving snow, and just wanting something. She remembered the almost hateful gaze he had when he looked upon her, when her chest felt like it was hurting. And unknowingly, a tear fell down, staining her face and clouding her vision and movements, as she felt herself become one with the music.
Seto, had gone back to work, the walk in the park seeming enough for the day. So what if he was dripping wet from the snow, and he was freezing, he was still going to work. His cell phone rang again putting his nerves on end, and letting a little feeling come through his voice and to the unlucky person on the other end.
'You better have the best excuse in the book to be using up my goddamn minutes, with me on a bad day!' Well he could've said that, instead he froze their blood by saying, "Hello?" "I Quit!" He hung up the cell phone quickly, 'Mokuba.' That had of course been Mokuba's babysitter and yes, Mokuba had driven her near insanity. 'Again? Well who cares? She was too nosy for her own good.'
Finally back into his chair he frowned at the music on almost full blast on his stereo. "Mokuba! Turn of this music NOW!" Barely paying attention to the lyrics being said he left towards his office and towards the oh so many phones ringing. Slightly irritated that the music hadn't stopped for at least 15 minutes he went down to turn it of himself. Wasn't like anyone could hear him anyways. However the song the station had flipped to was almost soothing.
'Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just a beat
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush,
Baby isn't that the way love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Just Breathe!
Anzu swung her head slightly because her neck was starting to kill her once again. It had been happening for a while.
Caught up in the touch
Slow and Steady Rush
Baby isn't that the way love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe!
Anzu's pace slowed to almost a stop, as Seto was about to turn the music off in his house.
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way…
The music Anzu was dancing to slowed to a stop and her body froze. Anzu could feel herself coming from the fantasy of her dancing to the reality that was partially cruel towards her. Seto on the other hand was coming towards the line between reality and past as he turned the music off.
He remembered the walk on the almost slippery concrete, the weight and warmth that had hit him on the way towards the fountain. The look in Anzu's eyes while she was apologizing to him and the coldness of the snow underneath them. How she looked like with the cold slightly nipping at her cheeks as she blushed from embarrassment and cold. How he dismissed her, and finally her walking away.
Stuff like this always seemed to happen to him for some reason after he had been mad. Things that he hadn't seen would come back to him in magnification. So the ending result being he didn't think much of it, like most things.
The next day there was still Winter Break going on. Anzu stepped up to her frosted window, drawing lazy patterns. The ice, it reminded her of things, like Seto. "Arrg! Why is he still in my mind?" She growled at the walls, yes it was somehow all their fault. 'Like heck, I'm going out.' Quickly the dancer stepped into her shoes and jacket, and into the cold harsh air.
Mokuba's ears perked as the doorbell rang. He rushed over to the door and opened it before the young maid could get even close. "Anzu?" The dancer looked down, almost surprised that he had opened the door, instead of the blond behind him.
But before all of that a young dancer was standing at the top of a rather large stairway that led to the mansion. 'What am I doing here?' It was true she had no idea. Her body had been in complete autopilot during the whole walk. 'What do I say, what do I say?' It was unknown that she had lifted her finger, that it had pushed on the doorbell, all until the door opened showing a small 10 year old and blasting her with a rush of warm air.
Now where were we? Oh yeah! "Mokuba! I haven't seen you in a while!" The childes eyes widened and her crushed into a hug. Anzu giggled slightly and returned it. "Hey, how about we go out for ice cream, my treat!" Anzu smiled brightly at the Kaiba brother. "Yeah!" Anzu held an arm out to keep the excited and energized body of the Kaiba from running out the door and past her.
"Don't you need to ask your brother first?" "Mazaki is right Mokuba." Anzu stiffened and her eyes widened. She knew the icy voice. And her thoughts were confirmed, as she looked into the glaring icy eyes of none other then, Seto Kaiba.
A.N.- Oh cliffy. R&R please! I would love you forever. Yes I believe only one more chapter after this. Remember, the more reviews, the quicker the updates!
