Important: Note that it is NOT necessary to read double is trouble before reading this story, even if this story is a sequel the whole plot is completely different and has nothing to do with the first story. The only thing you need to know is that Meyli is Kaiba's twin sister and she's going out with Joey, nothing more.
Chapter one: One big happy family.
Seto Kaiba, now 22 years old, was sitting at his desk, working as usual. Things had changed a lot over the past 5 years. Now out of high school, and with Meyli to help him, Kaiba had a lot less work to do and a lot more time to work, he was working from 9 to 4 during the week, plus the meetings and he always had the week ends off. It was unbelievable the good it did to him and how much he changed. Even if he still wasn't really a sociable person, his temper calmed down considerably. He was more relaxed, he was now patient and even rarely got into fight or insult anymore, though he still loved to pick a fight with his 'step-brother' occasionally...ok a lot. It was more on a friendly matter now, after all, Joey and Meyli had been going out for five years, so it was inevitable that Kaiba accept them and with time it turned into a friendship (a lot of time).
The door of his office opened and Meyli stepped and sat down on his desk.
"Come on Seto, it's lunch break, and in the word lunch break there is the word lunch," She said, giving him fast food.
Kaiba stopped typing on his laptop and removed his glasses, some unwanted gift from Gozaburo by making him work so much when he was young, at least he only needed them to work. He joined his hand and put his elbow on his desk, he looked like a businessman.
"Alright, what exactly do you want?"
"What makes you think I want something?" Meyli played innocent.
Kaiba smirked. "I know you, usually you are dragging me down the road to get food with you saying 'it's good for you to take some fresh air.'" Kaiba mimicked her, showing he knew it wasn't the real reason.
"Because it's true," Meyli said.
"Yea right," Kaiba said, he dropped the serious face and started eating some fries. "So, what do you want already?"
"Well, you see...we...want you to be Joey's best man for the marriageā¦"
Kaiba almost choked when he heard that. "You can't be serious about this? I thought it would be Yugi or Tristan."
"Well, you see since I don't have any girl relatives, Joey is the one who choose the bridesmaid so we decided that I had to pick the best man," Meyli let out really fast.
"Why not Mokuba then?"
"Because I decided it would be you," Meyli said.
"Do I really have to?" Kaiba whined, not that he didn't wanted to please his sister, he just had a good idea why she choose him.
"No, of course not, if you want to see the sweet little picture of you taking a bath when you were a baby on the first page of all the newspaper of the country," Meyli said in a sweet little evil voice.
"What!"
"You heard me."
"Fine, not like I have a choice anyway," Kaiba said.
"Of course you don't."
"I suppose this is all part of your plan to hook me with some girl isn't it, a certain bridesmaid I presume?" Kaiba said. His bachelorhood was one of the biggest joke among the guys, so far Kaiba never had any girlfriend, well never a serious one (it was always just fake for media or things like that), and for the last three years they had been doing everything they could to hook him with everything that had a pair of...well, you get the picture
"Now what in the world makes you think we are trying to hook you with someone?"
Kaiba rolled his eyes, thinking of all the time they pushed him on a girl passing next to him and the time they locked him in his office with the new secretary for three hours to only name two.
"You're so paranoid. But now that you brought up the subject, it's really time you try to look for a girlfriend, you need a woman in your life," Meyli said with a 'I-know-all' look.
"I endured you for the past five years, that's more than enough."
"Well I'm getting married in a month so you have to find someone to take care of you once I'll be gone," Meyli said.
"I was perfectly taking care of myself before you came," Kaiba replied.
"Oh yea, working day and night, not having a single friend, being a jerk. That's what you call taking care of yourself?"
"Ok, so maybe that's a bad example, but I don't need a girl to take care of me."
"Fine, but you still need some company, Mokuba won't stay at the mansion forever you know. Maybe for once you could take example on him and go out with girls."
At this very moment Mokuba entered the office with paper work for Seto and a cell phone glued to his ear. "Tamie please listen to me for a minute." Mokuba said as he gave the sheet to Seto. "No, I swear I wasn't with her- listen to me- no it wasn't- you saw wrong- I'm telling you- shouldn't that be enough?- No I wasn't with Judy yesterday.- I know I said I couldn't go out with you yesterday because I had somewhere else to go.- No I swear I wasn't with Azuki yesterday at 9 nor with Isa after school.- Hey wait, just let me explain."
Mokuba put his cell phone in his pocked and sighed. "Tamie just hung up on she after broke up with me. She thinks she saw me kiss Isa after school while taking her home and that I had a date with Azuki at 9. But I was with Ginny after school and my date was with Norika last night, I broke off with Judy two days ago and I'm not going out with Azuki before another 4 days. Oh well, now that Tamie is gone I can date Idsumi." Mokuba said the last part to himself before walking out of the office.
Kaiba looked at Meyli. "You were saying?"
"Bad example," Meyli said.
"I wonder what we did wrong in his educationā¦," Kaiba wondered.
"I'm blaming you, you raised him longer than me."
"Well I'm blaming you, he was fine before you came," Kaiba replied.
"Whatever, we're getting away from the subject here," Meyli said.
"Right, so, who's gonna be the bridesmaid?" Kaiba asked.
"That's my little secret," Meyli said with a grin meaning she was up to no good.
"And you expect me to believe it's not any plan to hook me up with someone?" Kaiba said, more to himself, anyway he had no choice in that matter. "With friends like this who needs enemies?"
"Come on stop being so over-dramatic. I swear we're not trying to hook you up, not this time anyway." Meyli said.
"Do I at least know her?" Kaiba asked.
"No, we're setting you up with Joey's 60 years old aunt, she's a nice lady you know, and at least with her you have zero chance of having any kid, it's a nice party don't you think she's a good match?."
"I think that you are completely stupid and extremely disgusting." Kaiba said.
"Well, you already said yes and beside you know what will happen if you change your mind. You'll just have to do it."
"Did I already mention just how much I hate you?"
"I love you too Seto." Meyli said with a smile.

As soon as she stepped inside the airport Anzu looked everywhere around her for a certain person she knew was waiting for her, she hoped to find him and leave
before anyone recognize her.
"Waiting for someone?"
For half a second Anzu was scared, after five years in New York she learned to be extremely careful around stranger. She turned around, but a big smile appeared on her face when she saw who had talk. "Yugi!" She said, a little louder then she should have, hugging him so tightly that he could barely breath anymore.
"Anzu...Can't...breath..."
"Sorry. It's just that he had been way too long since I last saw you and..." Anzu stopped talking to take a really good look at him. "Since when are you taller than me?"
Yugi laughed, that was really a blunt question and it had been a while since anyone talked about his height, he grew up really quickly about a year after Yami left, of course Joey and Tristan teased him about weeds growing fast but they stopped long ago. "I'd say about three years or so, a long of things happen in 5 years you know."
"Yea, but it still feels weird for me to look 'up' at you. How tall are you anyway?" She asked as they recovered her luggage.
"With our without the hair?" Yugi asked.
"Well-"
"Oh my god look over there, it's Anzu Mazaki!"
Anzu and Yugi both looked over their shoulder and saw a really large mob of fan, both girl and boy running toward her and yelling. "I hope you thought of an escape plan."
"Of course: Run for it!" Yugi took her hand and started to lead her toward the nearest exit with the mob close behind.
"What are we going to do once we are out of here?" Anzu asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine, you should have told me you were taking your fan club with you." Yugi said as they passed the door. As soon as they stepped outside Yugi did a quick survey of the surrounding for an escape route, his eyes landed on a familiar car with an even more familiar person stepping out of it not too far away, he grabbed her hand again. "This way."
Anzu let him lead her without any question until she saw exactly were they were heading. "Yugi, isn't that-" But Yugi didn't listen.
"Heads down." Yugi said, running straight into Kaiba in front of the bewildered body guard, causing both of them to fall back into the limo. "Come on, get in already."
"Hum..." Kaiba or Crazy fan mob?...Anzu looked behind her, all the fan had just spot her again and started to run toward her. Kaiba. She sat in the limo, wondering if Yugi had lost his mind and why the body guard hadn't even moved, the door closed behind her just has the mob reached the limo.
"Do you mind?" Anzu turned her head away from the window when she heard the 'oh so familiar' voice, yet there was something different about it.
Yugi, who was still lying on Kaiba, smiled and sat on the seat. "Sorry about that," He said, making himself comfortable.
"What the hell was that about?" Kaiba asked, sitting himself in front of Yugi.
"Sorry but we needed a way to escape all those fans," Yugi pointed toward the faces glued to the window, trying to get a view from the inside.
"I thought mindless fans stopped to run after you long ago since you stopped
dueling," Kaiba said.
"There're not mine, they're Anzu's fans," Yugi said pointing toward Anzu.
Kaiba blinked when he saw her, so far he hadn't even realized there was someone else in the limo. "Anzu?" If Yugi hadn't said her name he would have never recognized her, her hair had grown quite a bit and were now to her mid back, her features also changed from a teenager to the one of a young woman, to make it
simple she was probably the most beautiful girl Kaiba had ever see if the light shade of pink on his cheek was any indication.
"Um...Hi Kaiba." Of course the other had told her, in letters or emails, about their friendship with Kaiba, but seeing it with her own eyes was completely different from reading it in a letter, he seemed to be a completely different person then the one she knew during high school...and he was even hotter than back then too.
"So, why are you here? Meyli said you'd come back in three months."
Anzu wasn't sure how she should react, this was so weaird to her. "Well..." She really felt uneasy, the only thing the two of them ever did was insult each other.
"She came for the wedding." Yugi said, seeing Anzu's uneasiness.
"But it's only in two months."
"Yea, but it's costum that the bridesmaid help the bride to prepare the wedding and all those things." Yugi said.
"I see...Wait a second, so that mean that you are Joey's 60 years old aunt." Kaiba said to Anzu. "Sudenly, playing the best man doesn't seem so bad anymore."
"You're the best man? How in the world did you end up in that position? I would have never thought you would agree to such a thing." Anzu said.
"Meyli blackmailed him." Yugi said with a grin.
"Oh! Sounds like something she would do. But what was that comment you made about Joey's aunt?"
"Meyli also thought it would be fun to let him believe that Joey's aunt was the bridesmaid."
"I would have killed myself before that, I only saw this old crazed hag once for 5 minutes and that's enough to last all my life." Kaiba said. "And why didn't you just told me Anzu was the bridesmaid?"
"And why didn't you tell me he was the best man?" Anzu asked.
"Well, since the two of you haven't seen each other in a really long time and never really had a good relationship we were affraid one of you may refuse."
"I still don't get why they chose me instead of you or Tristan for this, since Meyli promised me it wasn't another atempt to hook me up with a girl."
"Because it's important for her, but don't tell her I told you." Yugi said.
"She could have just asked, no need to blackmail me like that." Kaiba said.
"I guess, but you know how she is, she have enough trouble trusting people already, she was probably afraid you'd refuse if she just ask you." Yugi said.
Kaiba sighed, he was going to need to talk to her, too bad for Yugi who was supposed to keep it a secret.
"But...What exactly did she used to blackmail you?" Anzu asked, letting her curiosity take over.
Yugi burst out laughing, Kaiba shoot him a 'if-you-talk-I'll-kill-you' glare. "The purpose of blackmail is to force someone to do as you will by promising to keep something a secret, if I let her have her way it was because I didn't want people to know." Kaiba said.
"That makes a lot of sense, but I'm sure she'll tell me as soon as I ask anyway." Anzu said with a smile, at this Yugi started to laugh even more.

There, you have it, the first and last chapter lolll (I'm joking of course) I got my good mood is back, my next chapter for prolongued truce is almost done too, I'll finish it tonight or tomorow so whenever it's up depends on how much time my editor have.
I don't know how long this story will be, it's Seto/Anzu of course. I'm sure you all noticed that in the first story it was Tea but I prefer Anzu and giving her two different names in my stories would be just too much confusing. Also notice that I now have two stories at the same time, I don't really know how I'll cope with this, we'll see.
I also changes a little bit of the end and a few things in the story so part of it hadn't been edited, so what?
