Life's unexpecting turns . . .

(Hmm. Well, this is chapter two. I have some ideas on what can go on from here. I'm hoping to have some ideas soon on what to write for this soon. ^_^;) DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter II: Hopes, dreams, and desires . . .

*** Later that day . . . *** The last bell rings to leave school, giving the loud bell ring that everyone always waits for. Everyone storms out of the classes like groups of wild stampedes as they leave papers, footstep imprints, pencils, and boredom in the halls. Outside the four are together talking about what they need to do. Sometimes, they would all go off to do something together. Today wasn't going to be one of those days.

"Well, because of stupid Jounouchi here I lost some serious cash. But that's gonna change, because I'm going straight for the stock market! Once I get some profit, I'll pay you guys back for borrowing all that money." Yuugi, Anzu, and Jounouchi blink at the idea, and then Jounouchi bursts out laughing. "Come on, Honda. You suck when it comes to numbers. You can't even keep right the phone numbers that you get, just like that one time you called your dad accidentally and called her 'Hey, baby'!" Honda's face turns red with rage, then keeps his cool and smirks. "Well, at least I can get girls phone numbers and you can't get shit. I'm leaving." He walks off in one direction and gives Jounouchi the finger without turning back. Jounouchi gets WAY pissed off for that comment, as if some fire was ready to erupt from his body. Soon he calms down and lets those comments go. "Well, my grandpa needs some help. I guess this is the only way of how can I get money for duel monster cards. I'll see you guys later!" Yuugi runs off in another direction. When he disappears Jounouchi turns to face Anzu and smiles a bit. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Anzu nods. "Alright, bye." A minute passes by as students are storming out of the campus, except for the two. They both don't move one inch at all. They both don't turn to face any other direction. They are both looking at each other as if they're both in a trance. Nothing is heard except tree leaves rustling from the wind. The tension and embarrassment runs to them, as they get nervous from all the silence. Immediately they both blurt out something quickly. "Uhh . . . Bye!" They turn around and run off in opposite directions.

All four part their ways until the next day. Honda is walking with a confident smile, as he visualizes money. Yuugi is walking with a nervous feeling, wondering how come he acted the way he acted earlier. Jounouchi and Anzu are walking with something in their mind. Both feel like they are missing something, and that perhaps they have found the missing piece.

*** At night . . . *** Honda is sitting down in his room with a brand-new laptop that has a shiny platinum-colored finish to it right in front of him. It took him hours since he got home to get the computer to work properly. He 'borrowed' it from another friend with some convincing actions to check on his stock investment. He is typing on the keyboard with two fingers, since he hasn't used a computer often. Looking at the screen, he crunches some numbers and tries to find out what to invest in. "Finally, I got this laptop I stole up and running. I guess I didn't have to swipe the geek to get instructions on this machine. Now what to invest . . . Kaiba Corporation . . . This looks good. Kaiba may sure be a snob, but he's sure rich. And I want to get rich, even if it means that I gotta be a snob." He presses a button and the computer instantly processes the transaction. He smiles and turns away from the computer screen and cracks his knuckles thinking about all the profit he is going to make. The computer screen closes the window after it processes the investment. What Honda doesn't realize is that he invested in a pornographic company . . .

Yuugi is sweeping up the store and cleaning it, making sure that this place remains spotless. After finishing up, he walks over behind the counter where all the duel monster packs are. His grandfather said for his hard work he was able to get one for free. Out of the regular packs, there seems to be a black one with no label. Not wondering about it, Yuugi takes the pack of duel monster cards and walks outside. He looks up to the moon, and thinks about what has happened so far. No matter what there was that same girl in his mind over and over again. "I should say something. If I wait forever, then I will never get a chance." He opens the mysterious pack of cards and flips through them using the moonlight to see.. "Hmm . . . I guess I didn't get anything good today . . ." All of a sudden, he sees a mysterious card that is perhaps familiar to him. It was a magic card, and it had some special writing on it. All that he could make out from the writing is that it's titled "Orichalcos No Kekkai". He shrugs at what it is, and walks back inside to his room. He puts the pack of cards in the draw and closes it assuming he won't need to use them at all . . .

Anzu is sitting down doing at her table doing her homework. Since getting home from school, she hasn't changed. All she did was remove her pink jacket and place it on the chair she is currently sitting on. She struggles through the series of nonsense and stops all of a sudden, placing her pencil on the table and lies back on the hardwood chair with a layer of red cushion. "I need a break." Without noticing that the pencil slowly rolls away, she looks up and sees that pinned to a wall was a picture of herself and her three friends a few years ago. She smiles at it thinking how much fun they had that one time when they were younger. "Memories . . . Wish we can have the same fun we used to have, but I guess we can't now. There's so much stuff we all need to do we don't even see each other too often. And it feels that I'm walking all alone in life. I feel so alone . . ." When she looks at Jounouchi she sets the picture down, and then she begins to think about something deeply. She smiles a bit and closes her eyes dreaming and imagining something. [Her eyes open realizing she's in the arms of a familiar person. She had her head lying against his chest. She elevates her head up, noticing how tall he was. She looked at his eyes, getting lost just by staring into those eyes, as if they were well carved out of a piece of rich, creamy chocolate. Right then her fears and depressing feelings begin to lift away from her, feeling relived around him. She raises her head slowly up as the other person lowers his head as well, as their lips move in closer together until they just about touch.] The pencil rolls all the way to the end of the table, falling all the way down until it hits one of her books below. Hearing the sound made from the pencil falling, she opens her eyes and thinks about what happened. Right then she places the picture back, gets her pencil that was laying on the book, and then continues to do her homework, trying to forget about what she was thinking . . .

Jounouchi is lying down on the bed, as a thin white bed sheet covers him. His eyes are closed and all the lights are off. Some loud snoring can be heard as he's sleeping. After mumbling some nonsense of dessert pastries in his sleep, he goes on to another dream. [In his dream he's alone with no one around him. He is surrounded in darkness with no idea of where to go so he can escape. "Well, I guess this isn't new. It feels just like I always do." Footsteps can be heard as someone's walking behind him. As the sounds of footsteps are getting louder, he notices that the darkness seems to be disappearing and light begins shedding in. When there is full light and the steps stop, the person taps Jounouchi on the shoulder. When he turns around, he sees that it's Anzu, wearing her usual school uniform. Jounouchi then starts to get nervous wondering what he should do now. She smiles happily at him and moves up to him, placing her arms around his neck. Jounouchi tries to resist, but then forces himself to stop holding back and slips his arms around her slender hips. He pulls her in closer so most of each other are touching closely, as he feels her soft, smooth skin. Still, their faces are separated by about a single inch. He stares at her thinking of what to do or say. "Anzu, I-I . . . I . . ." Right then she says in a calm, soothing whisper-like voice to him "I love you, too." As soon as he heard those words he forgets anything that holds him back. She pulls his head in with her arms until he felt her tender lips, as they kiss each passionately.] Reality kicks in immediately waking Jounouchi up all of a sudden and looks to the window. He sees the moonlight pierce through the window as it calms him down. "Okay, what was that all about? I was thinking about chocolate pastries, and now I'm fantasizing about Anzu? What's with me anyway!? Can it be that dream is telling me something? I need to do something about this and fast. For some reason, I can't take much more of this." Quickly sleepiness begins to kick in for Jounouchi and falls to sleep again, trying to forget all about her. But no matter what, he can't escape the fantasies and the truth . . .
