Chapter Three

The tension inside the car was stifling, Anzu was highly aware of Kaiba's still murderous temper, and while his eye was no longer twitching the vein popping out his forehead was just as alarming. Not wanting to antagonize him further she wisely kept her mouth shut and resigned herself to study his profile as he drove. His mouth was drawn into a thin line and his eyes, which were surprisingly framed by long thick lashes, were fixed on the road. Anzu wondered what it would feel like to run her hands through his brown hair.

Kaiba suddenly turned to look at her, she blushed at being caught staring and turned away quickly, deeming the passing scenery a better choice for her eyes to focus on.

Seto had sensed her staring at him for some minutes, her scrutiny made him uneasy; a feeling he wasn't much accustomed to. He'd turned to ask her what the hell was so fascinating about his face but she turned away so fast that he was surprised she wasn't suffering from whiplash. She certainly was an odd one he thought.

"Look, I'm sorry okay. If you would have just explained that you needed to pick up Mokuba I would have been at your house earlier." Anzu said after her blush receded. Kaiba looked reasonably calmed so she attempted peace.

"I told you to be there at five sharp."

"Did it ever occurred to you that I'm not one of your employees? You can't order me around."

"I have things to do, I can't afford to waste my time."

"I understand that but the least you could have done was set up a time that was convenient for both of us. I have other things to do too."

"My apologies, I didn't mean to keep you from your boyfriend Yugi." Kaiba said sarcastically. " We're here," he said as he parked smoothly in place. He exited the car before Anzu could negate his statement.

"Seto!" Anzu turned just in time to see Mokuba ran pass her window and into Seto's arms. Fascinated she watched the brotherly interaction. It always amazed her how Seto became a little less guarded with his brother. She still remembered the heartbreaking scene of Kaiba reaching out to Mokuba only to be turned to stone before reaching each other. Seto was smiling slightly now and ruffling his brother's hair. Anzu smiled despite herself, Seto wasn't that bad after all, it was obvious he loved his brother very much.

Anzu got out of the car to say hi to Mokuba. He was a really sweet kid and she hadn't really talked to him since the whole Noah incident. "Hey Mokuba, how have you been?"

"Anzu! What are you doing here? Are you Seto's girlfriend now?" Mokuba asked with wide-eyed innocence. Anzu giggled nervously not knowing what to say.

"Were doing a project for school." Seto quickly told Mokuba. "Lets go, get in the car."

Mokuba readily complied. "Seto?" He said from the back seat of the car.

"Hmm?"

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat at Burger World. You don't mind do you Anzu?"

"Nope, I'm kinda hungry too." Anzu smiled at Mokuba through the rearview mirror as Kaiba gripped the wheel tighter. 'Great, now I have to spend even more time with her,' he thought.

Anzu and Mokuba spent the drive to Burger World chattering about. Anzu wondered at Mokuba's expressive face and his talkative ways it was just so different from his brother's. 'Now why can't Kaiba be more like his brother?' Anzu asked herself.

"There's no one at the pinball Machine!" Mokuba exclaimed as they entered the restaurant. He went running to it, leaving Anzu and Seto to find a seat.

"I thought he was hungry." She said as they settled into a booth.

"He'll come back after he tires," Kaiba responded.

The Kaiba brothers apparently visited Burger World frequently because one of the waitresses was asking Kaiba if they would have their usual only moments after they had arrived. Kaiba told her yes and let Anzu order for herself.

"Come here often, huh?"

"Mokuba likes it."

A few minutes later they were both eating quietly, neither of them sure how to proceed. Kaiba wasn't used to eating with anyone but his brother and Anzu was not used to eating with Seto Kaiba. Soon, however they were done with their food. Both looked expectantly at each other.

It was Seto who broke the silence, "I say we do the project on businesses."

"I've already said no. We should do something fun, like ballet!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"What are you guys arguing about?" Mokuba asked as he sat himself next to Anzu.

"The topic of our project. We're supposed to pick something and research its history as far back as we can." Anzu explained.

"Oh, cool you could do it on the Dual Monsters!" Mokuba said as he tucked into the dinner that Seto had ordered for him when he was at the pinball machine.

Surprised, Anzu and Seto turned to stare at each other. Anzu liked the idea and she knew Seto did too when he gave her that smirk of his. "You're awesome kid! " Anzu said as she leaned down to kiss Mokuba on the cheek, making him blush.

"Can I have some ice-cream Seto?" He said after recovering from his blush.

"After you finish your dinner." Seto told him.

Mokuba finished his dinner, had some ice cream and played on the pinball machine again while Seto and Anzu worked out some of the details of the research before they were ready to leave. Seto insisted on paying for dinner, Anzu grudgingly accepted promising to pay next time.

"Where do you live?" Seto asked when they were inside his car.

"Excuse me?"

"So I can drop you off genius."

Anzu told him, feeling very weird about having Seto drive her home. She had never had a boy take her home, sure Yugi, Honda, and Jou had walked her home in more than one occasion but it wasn't the same, they were her friends.

"Bye Anzu!" Mokuba said from the back seat when they reached her house.

"Bye Mokuba. Kaiba." She said as she got out.

"I'll see you tomorrow at six." Seto said.

"On the dot," Anzu smiled at Kaiba.

Mokuba moved to the front seat and watched Anzu enter her home. "She's really nice isn't she Seto? Can we invite her to dinner again?" Mokuba asked his brother.

"Yes." Seto replied automatically, thinking about the paperwork that he still had to complete for Kaiba Corp.
