a/n: wow read the reviews today and I got pumped up! So excited :)…. For those who are dense…. I update faster with more (nice) reviews. As per request I am adding peachshipping! (Planned to any ways) FYI I have no experience what so ever with this pairing.

~oO0Oo~

"Yuugi where are you off to?" Yami asked glancing up at the smaller version of him self.

Grandpa chuckled from across the room, "I heard a pretty voice ask him out to a date."

Yuugi blushed furiously, "grandpa!" he turned to Yami who was sitting in his chair, glasses on his nose, "Anzu and I are going to the mall."

Yami shrugged, "alright have fun, give her a kiss for me will you?"

Yuugi blushed even more and headed out the door. Yami liked to tease him almost like he was yuugi's older brother, not that he minded it, but it did get on his nerves sometimes, this being one of those times.

The night before Anzu had called up yuugi, just randomly, saying she wanted to go to the mall and didn't have any body to go with. So naturally yuugi offered her services.

He has had a crush on her for the longest time, like that wasn't blatantly obvious. He had tried every thing he could to get her attention. He had listened to her and done all that he could accordingly, though it always seemed like her gaze always passed right over him. Which wasn't hard, he was shorter than some grade school kids and acted like them sometimes too until Yami came along.

"yuugi!" anzu yelled waving her arms above her head. She was waiting for him next to the fountain as she promised. Even that made him smile. "so any shop you want to look at first?"

yuugi shook his head dumfounded it seemed like he was always a loss for words when it involved anzu. "you look nice today."

"Thanks, it's a new shirt, thought I would try it out on you first before the rest of the group." She was wearing a white turtle neck shirt that was missing its sleeves. It complemented her perfectly. "Come on, "she continued, "there is a real nice deal on smoothies, I want one."

Yuugi just smiled and let Anzu pull him around. It really didn't bother him, not in the slightest. The smoothie counter was relatively empty and so they ordered quickly.

"Two peach smoothies please." Yuugi said and paid quickly before Anzu could protest. He knew her favorite flavor and so he got exactly what she wanted.

Anzu took hers with a little hesitation. "Thanks, but you know you didn't have to do that."

Yuugi waved her off. "Yeah but I wanted to so just accept it and move on."

He almost missed it, but he saw a little smile and a blush as she muttered thanks under her breath. It filled his heart with warmth, she was happy and that's what mattered to him the most.

Naturally they went to the mall's arcade next. Anzu wanted to play the dance dance revolution game. Yuugi didn't mind just watching her dance around. This was one of the very few games he wasn't good at. Anzu must have gotten bored because after the song ended she leapt on yuugi.

They toppled over together. Anzu laughed at yuugi's startled expression, eventually he laughed too. "Wanna go to the beach?" it was almost out of her mouth before she realized. "It's in walking distance…"

"Sure, come on, I love the beach."

~oO0Oo~

the sea breze was soft and gental and the pair had taken off their shoes and let the waves brush over their bare feet as they walked and talked.

"well frankly it was kind of scarry at first, you know seeing my self, only a little taller and tan, walking around my house. But turnes out he is a pretty weird guy when he isn't playing games." Yuugi explained. Some times he wondered if his friends really got how odd Yami really was.

Anzu giggled. "He seems relatively normal to me."

"Relatively?" yuugi said raising an eyebrow.

"Well think about it, he spent three thousand years trapped in a puzzle and then when he was finally released it was only to take over a teenager's body and play creepy shadow games. He could be a lot worse." She was looking out over the horizon dreamily.

Yuugi knew Anzu had a crush on the ex-pharaoh for awhile now. "Sure I guess." Not only that but she had a realistic grasp on the situation. "He still is more like the older brother nobody ever wanted."

Anzu laughed again. "Actually you seem like the older one at times. You've really matured since he came."

She smiled and looked at him, at yuugi, not his taller spiky haired counter part or a grade school student but actually at him. He had finally succeeded in capturing her eye. His heart swelled with happiness and he smiled the biggest smile on the face of the planet.

"Thank you Anzu." He said.

Anzu shifted and changed her expression to one he had never seen before. Usually he could read her like a book, "well I have to leave right about now." She said than leaned down and kissed him.

It was fast, so fast yuugi thought he had imagined it. He must have looked stunned.

"What is it?" Anzu asked.

"d-did you just kiss me?" he stuttered.

She chuckled than did it again. "Yep, Bye yuugi." With that she sauntered off and left a very confused spiky haired teen standing in the waves wearing a blush on his face. Well people had always said that girls were confusing and they sure as hell weren't kidding.

~oO0Oo~

yuugi tried to sneak in the house as quietly as possible. He had stayed out past curfew just wondering around the beach and pondering. That and he didn't want to face Yami, he knew what would happen if Yami saw him. He would know immediately that yuugi had been kissed and then offer some advice even though he knows less about it than yuugi did.

"Cool, you did as I asked." Yami said. He was still sitting in his chair reading the same book he had been all week.

"Jerk."

"So you going out now or what?" Yami said looking up to meet yuugi's eyes.

He folded his arms. "I've got a better question. Why aren't you in bed yet?"

Yami's expression changed. "I was for a while…" he just trailed off and it took a few seconds of silence for yuugi to figure out he wasn't going to elaborate.

Yuugi sighed. "Fine I'll tell you what happened, but then you have to go to bed." He sat down of the couch across from Yami.

Yami nodded and tucked his knees up to his chest. He looked like a child waiting for story time.

"Well first we went to the mall I bought her smoothies and then we played in the arcade."

"Sounds like what you usually do with every body else." Yami interrupted.

"No interruptions." Yuugi scolded. "Any way we went to the beach and we were talking about stuff-"

"About me, huh?"

"What did I say?" yuugi said and Yami motioned for him to continue. "Yes about you, then she complemented me and well she kissed me… it wasn't like long or any thing, just real fast and I thought I imagined it but then she did it again and just left without expiation."

"Girls are crazy man." Yami said and yuugi nodded.

"I don't know what I'm going to say next time is see her, I honestly don't know if she wants to go out or just mess with me."

Yuugi could have sworn he heard Yami chuckle.

A/n: well… that was not as bad as I thought it would be. Corrections welcome as far as this is concerned. Don't worry the Kaibas are coming back soon. I think Yami is going to be pretty weird in the next chapter.
