I would have to say this is my favorite story to write of course I'm excited to how it will turn out as well because I don't even know yet.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3 Dinner Party
"Anzu is that you?" asked a brown hair girl in the doorway of the dance studio. Kaiba and Anzu both turned around to look at her.
"Serenity! I'm so glad to see you." Kaiba was distracted enough that Anzu slipped past him and ran over to where Serenity stood. Without another word Anzu pushed Serenity out of the doorway and down the street leaving Kaiba standing in confusion. They finally reached a tea shop and Serenity begins with the interrogation.
"So how was New York?" Serenity asked as they sat down with their cup of tea.
"It was amazing, I didn't want to leave. So many sights and sounds, Joey was really helpful in getting around New York he is quite the crowd pleaser."
"He always knew how to work a crowd." Serenity said with a small chuckle, "So what made you come back to Japan, I thought you and Seto broke of the engagement?"
"Well after my father died it was stated in his will that next of kin would follow in his footsteps for the business and so that's me. We did break of the engagement apparently I'm his business partner now and well he still has feelings for me apparently." Anzu replied after a sip of tea.
"I see so that's what I was interrupting at the dance studio." Serenity said with a smirk
"I have no more feelings for Seto Kaiba," Anzu said angrily as she slammed down her cup on the table spilling some on the table. Anzu grabbed for some napkins but was stopped by Serenity.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you angry, please forgive me?"
Anzu heaved a sigh. She couldn't be mad at Serenity she was her best friend. And loved that she could be there when she need her. Anzu was about to say something when her phone began to ring. She picked it up and an answered.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Mazaki, you are expected to attend Mr. Kaiba's dinner party tonight. That is all." Anzu hung up frustrated. She was getting really annoyed with "Mr. Kaiba's" secretary.
"Serenity I've got to go, we need to catch up again." Anzu finished her tea and left money on the table.
"Where do you have to go?"
"I have to go deal with a certain someone at his dinner party." With that she left the tea shop. She felt bad for leaving Serenity in the dark but she knew that Serenity would understand. She needs to see Kaiba and set things straight between him and her. She loved Alister and she knew that he would not like her being at his house for a dinner party.
"I'm not letting you go." Alister said as he waited for Anzu to come out of the bathroom
"You're not my father, besides I have to go I didn't get to meet with Kaiba and the other people who are working on the project." Anzu said as she poked her head out of the bathroom.
"Fine, but if anything happens Kaiba is not going to be the CEO of KaibaCorp for very long." Alister said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Will you relax" Anzu said as she stepped out of the bathroom. She was wearing a black mini dress with a small white piece of ribbon around her waist and a pair of black stilettos. Alister's face dropped Anzu was gorgeous. He was amazed he was used to seeing her in jeans and a plain t-shirt.
"Wow!" was that he could say words would not come to how he felt about her, now he really didn't want her to go to the dinner party.
"Too much?" She said as she looked at herself in the mirror. She thought it would be too much since it was just a simple dinner party but once she got home she realized that all her dresses are still in New York. She looked up to see Alister was staring at her, she waved her hand in front of his face.
"Hello, I asked you a question."
"You will be the life of the party. And here is a finishing touch I was going to wait but this seems like a good time to give it to you." Alister replied as he pulled out a box from a drawer next to their bed. He opened it and inside was a beautiful diamond encrusted necklace. Anzu couldn't believe her eyes he bought her jewelry, Kaiba never did that, she turned around so Alister could put it on. It went well with the dress.
"Alister I don't know what to say." She said as she admired it in the mirror.
"I love you Anzu." He turned Anzu back around and kissed her on the lips. Anzu was in totally happiness. This moment had made up for what happened earlier today. Anzu broke from the kiss and headed to the door.
"I'll be home later don't wait up." And with that she closed the door.
Anzu reached Kaiba's place on time. She thought maybe it would be better if she came early and wasn't slammed about being late for dinner. Anzu got to the front door and was greeted by one of Kaiba's butlers. He led her to an expansive dining room, in the middle of the room was a long table filled with food, candles, dishes, everything possible to fit on the table. Many people were seated at the table. The butler took her to an end of the table and pulled out her chair. She sat down and waited quietly for dinner to start. She really didn't know anyone here she felt a little out of place because as she looked around she saw she was the only person around in her 20s.
Doors burst open and Kaiba makes his presence, everyone was silent. The butler that greeted Anzu pulls out Kaiba's chair as well. Once Kaiba sat down the dinner chatter started up again and the consumption of food began. Anzu talked with the people around her, but nothing more than a "Yes and No" answer from her. Then a woman across the table directed a question to Kaiba that made Anzu choke on her food.
"Seto, is this the lovely woman we've heard so much about that you are engaged to?" Kaiba looked over Anzu and saw her shocked look. Anzu didn't know what to say apparently Kaiba hadn't said anything about them breaking up the engagement. Kaiba took this opportunity to say what Anzu was afraid he would say.
"Why yes she is my fiancée. She's come to run her father's company since as you know Mr. Mazaki had passed a few months ago."
"You poor thing giving up your life to work for your father's company." The old woman said as she looked toward Anzu. Anzu had enough of Kaiba's antics she was going to set things straight and that would be the end of it.
"Actually, Kaiba and I are…" Anzu couldn't get anything else because Kaiba had reached under the table and grabbed her leg hard. Anzu looked toward Kaiba and saw anger flare into his eyes.
"Are what dear?"
"Are…are quite happy together." Anzu said with a strained smile. After that dinner went quietly as Kaiba kept a good grip on Anzu's leg the rest of the evening.
Once dinner was over with people started to leave, Anzu was stuck with a group who went around and toured the house with Kaiba. Anzu had seen it all before since she used to be his fiancée. Anzu tired of hearing the oohs and ahhs of everyone went back downstairs and waited in his study so she could talk with Kaiba and finally get things settled between the two. Eventually Kaiba entered the study to find Anzu sitting there patiently. Anzu got up and walked over to Kaiba. Once she got close to him she slapped him across the face.
"How dare you say are engagement is still on." She says as she raises her voice at him.
"Nice hit." He said coolly as he rubbed his face.
"Is that all you have to say, because I have a lot to tell you. One I'm NOT in love with you. Two we are business partners. And Three leave me alone, find someone else I've moved on." She said as she pointed her finger into his chest.
"I always liked it when you got angry, it made you sexy." Kaiba whispered as he grabbed her hand and placed it to his lips.
"Don't touch me" she said as she took her hand away from him. She started to back away from him. Kaiba stepped closer to her. Eventually Anzu ran into a wall, he was doing exactly what he did to her at the dance studio although this time his eyes showed lust.
"Please Kaiba don't, I'm with Alister now and I will have to say he is ten times the man you'll ever be."
"Really? Because he buys you things like, this necklace." Kaiba said as he ripped the necklace from Anzu's neck. Anzu began to cry, Alister just gave that to her. Kaiba grabbed her hands and placed them above her head.
"I'm ten times more man," as he said this he rubbed up against Anzu "then Alister will ever be."
