Hello! I want to say a huge thank you to those that reviewed! I'm sorry I haven't replied I've been really busy, planning my wedding! yey! I'm thinking of doing a Seto/Anzu fic that is leading up to their wedding, them planning what I'm planning?! Hmmm…. Anyho, I know I've extended this slightly; but to your joy, or horror, I may extend it to another chapter as I have A LOT of ideas that may be too long for two more chapters. I'm not really sure….lets see how it goes yeah?! Lol

Please leave a review; it's not that hard I promise it makes a writer like me so happy. Don't you want me happy??!! lol

Just a quick note about the chapter names. I've tried using words with 'fairy' in the word, purely because I want to have an association with the story name in each chapter. Make no sense? Well…it really doesn't to me either!!

I hope Seto Kaiba has been in character in this story, the last thing I want is to put you guys off by thinking; "That's not like Kaiba?" So do tell me!

Anyho enough of the drabble on with the story!

I'm sure you realise I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did then we wouldn't be writing about Seto and Anzu, we'd be watching it instead! (Sigh!) I also don't own MTV or the show 'The Fabulous life of…'

Fairy Tale Of New York

Kaiba idly tapped his pen in thought as he sat at the head of the board table at Kaiba Corp. US. He had returned back with the important papers from his hotel, without scorning Mokoba, which surprised Mokoba to no end. They were now sitting in a meeting over viewing the last minute details of tomorrow nights launch, listening to many employees showing presentations of the new duel system and the newest academy. Kaiba wasn't remotely interested in anything they had to say, he had thought of all these scenarios before and had practically solved them in his well calculated mind before the twits in front of him had even thought of the idea. Kaiba was thinking of something other than economic standards of the newest fibre technology of the duellist disk, well in actual fact it was someone. Kaiba was dazed away, remembering Anzu's flushed face when he caught her out, not only that but the way she panicked and wrapped her arms around herself thinking it would shield his gaze from her overtly exposed body, after all Kaiba was a man to say the least. He almost felt like laughing aloud for making her so embarrassed. He smirked nonchalantly discarding the fact that he was in a room full of American board members on Christmas Eve, even Mokoba noticed his strange look.

"What do you think Mister Kaiba?" a large balding man asked nervously as he and the rest of the board looked at Kaiba, who sat at the end of the large long table on a very plush looking leather chair. Mokoba looked amused at his brother's sudden lack of regard to the company, as though he just got caught by a teacher, he then smirked. Kaiba suddenly felt all eyes upon him, and had the most terrible realisation that he, for most part of the meeting, wasn't paying attention. Kaiba sat up straight and retained his icy cold glare again. Mokoba had to hold back a snigger and Kaiba glared at his younger brother almost daring him to.

"Yes, the schematics of the system are well adapted to the new technology that Kaiba corp. has produced so I doubt there will be a hiccup during the press launch" Mokoba then spoke up for his brother's lack of attention so that the other members didn't know of Kaiba 'zoning out'.

"Ah yes, I'm glad you both agree" the man then spoke, obviously relieved. Kaiba looked at his brother who smiled back at him, and Kaiba merely nodded back in a thankful gesture.

"Well, if that is all I see no reason to discuss any more" Kaiba spoke then, standing up. With seeing this, the others followed.

"I do hope that everything is to your satisfaction Mister Kaiba. Everything is under control" Mr Jones then added, though slightly nervous. Kaiba looked at him peculiarly.

"Hn"

"Tell me Mister Jones, who is the model launching our night?" Mokoba asked curiously. Mr Jones then looked more nervous under the gaze of his employers.

"Well…I…erm, I shall leave it as a surprise" he spluttered out. Kaiba had no reason to listen to this pathetic man and walked out of the room, quickly followed by Mokoba.

"I think he's hiding something" Mokoba spoke to his brother upon reaching him.

"Now whose being paranoid" Kaiba added in amusement

"Well by the sounds of things he's cocked up the model" Mokoba sighed "shame"

"Listen Mokoba it's probably for the best. She would have been a bimbo with as much brains as a meat bun and half the personality. She would have only been there for the publicity and so that man could fourn over her. I highly doubt she would have realised what the hell she was launching anyway" Mokoba looked at his brother and nodded in agreement, he was right in the end, yet Mokoba still wanted to have something to amuse him through tomorrow nights tedious party. Thank God for Anzu being here over Christmas other wise he couldn't imagine the boredom that he would have suffered through these stupid meetings. Speaking of that…….

"So why did you space out in meeting back there?" Mokoba asked with a smirk sensing Kaiba tense up at his question.

"I didn't" Kaiba simply spoke dismissing the question with a waver of his hand.

"Uh huh" Mokoba replied sceptically as they entered the lift. "So tell me what exactly did Mr Franks have to say about the students of the new academy?"

Kaiba was floored. He had no idea who the man was let alone what the hell he was talking about. Students? Ok, so if he was talking about the newest students to enter Duel Academy US, then he probably went over the procedures in which to ensure which house they are in; and they've probably already done that.

"The houses in which the students have been placed in." Kaiba spoke as though he had heard the entirety of the conversation. Mokoba looked at him, an eyebrow twitched up on his face in curiosity. Kaiba held his breath. Was he convincing enough? What the hell will his brother think if he caught on he was thinking about Mazaki?

"Fine. But I still think that you're hiding something" Mokoba said causing Kaiba to release his held breath out of relief. Fortunately the lift doors had opened hiding this key fact from his younger brother.

"Hey Nii-sama, we still haven't gone shopping yet?!" Mokoba then changed the subject to Kaiba's relief.

"Hn"

"Well I need to get you a cool gift for tomorrow and of course something for Anzu" Mokoba smiled

"Why would you waste your time and money on that cheerleader?"

"Because she's spending Christmas with us and we can't leave her out nii-sama!" Mokoba spoke in her defence. Kaiba rolled his eyes as they exited the building.

"Do what you like, I have work to do. Make sure you complete the system and security checks on the venue before you go anywhere" Kaiba stressed and entered the waiting limo.

"Will do" Mokoba smiled and mockingly saluted his brother as he got into the limo.

"When are you going to grow up?" Kaiba sighed

"When you take that rod out from up your arse"

Xxxxxx

"Hey honey we're home!" Mokoba laughed as he poked his head through the door. Kaiba rolled his eyes and marched passed a bemused Mokoba. Both Kaiba's scanned the large suite looking for their guest, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Anzu?" Mokoba called out. "Wonder where she is?" Mokoba then asked his brother who had now discarded his jacket and was in the kitchen.

"Maybe she's done us a favour and left" Kaiba replied monotonously. Mokoba was about to reply when he heard a door open.

"Hello!" Anzu's cheery voice rang through Kaiba's ears as she ran down the stairs. "Sorry I was just in my room listening to some music" Anzu then spoke yet noticing Kaiba's smirk she quickly blushed.

"I see you've changed venues" Kaiba smirked and Anzu blushed more. Mokoba looked at the two and quipped an eyebrow.

"O-K, anyway Anzu do you want to come shopping with me?" Mokoba asked excitedly grabbing one of Anzu's hands.

"Er I well" Anzu stuttered trying to think of an excuse. I can't go out! My cover will be blown!...Great now I sound like I'm a cop or something!

"You may aswell you've been stuck in this grotto for a day" Kaiba spoke as he sipped his steaming much needed coffee. Besides the least I see of you, the least my mind can stop wondering and putting me into awkward situations! Kaiba then thought.

"I might remind you that this is tastefully decorated, and well I can't go out because…"

"Because what?" Kaiba asked curious about her unwillingness to venture outside "You're not hiding something are you?" Kaiba smirked

"What?! No! Of course not!" Anzu quickly replied nervously laughing

"Ignore him Anzu, he's just being sour because he wasn't paying attention in the meeting" Mokoba smirked back and Kaiba glared at the younger sibling.

"What? Kaiba not paying attention? Why??" Anzu asked ignoring Kaiba's death glares.

"I dunno, he wont say. All I know is that he came back from picking up the papers and he kept zoning out" Mokoba smiled "It is very interesting." He then tapped his chin. Kaiba made a b-line for him, ready to choke him until he didn't speak anymore, after he noticed Anzu's grin towards the elder Kaiba.

"Oh really?!" Anzu smiled

"Mokoba I'll kill you!" Kaiba seethed

"Hehe. C'mon Anzu lets go!" Mokoba nervously ran towards the door grabbing Anzu's wrist along the way.

"But…I…"

"No buts, besides the quicker we get out of here the quicker my brother doesn't kill me!" Mokoba grinned and thrusted Anzu's coat and scarf into hands before opening the door. "Ja ne Nii-sama! No spacing out now!" Mokoba sniggered as he left through the door with a smirking Anzu. Kaiba growled and just as the door shut a pillow hit the closed door narrowingly missing its intended target.

"I need a drink!" Kaiba then sighed as he left for his office.

xxxxxxx

The crisp cold air of the winter afternoon shivered through Anzu as she hugged her coat tighter around her. She was sporting her dark sunglasses that she luckily picked up before Mokoba had pushed her out of the apartment. Anzu had a smug smile on her face from Kaiba's embarrassment. Was he thinking about her when he dazed off in his meeting? A slight blush formed on her cheeks thinking about Kaiba thinking about her, but she brushed it away. Why would he think about her? He disliked her… right?

"Ha! Nii-sama is probably seething at the moment. His face though, it was priceless. But I wonder why he got all heated?" Mokoba mused as he and Anzu walked down the busy New York street.

"I…don't know" Anzu replied hiding her blush

"Hmmm….well it wouldn't have anything to do with you, would it?" Mokoba then asked and Anzu froze.

"Er….why would it have anything to do with me??" Anzu laughed nervously

"Well he did act all funny after coming back from the apartment, he didn't run into you did he?" Mokoba asked with a smirk. Anzu then realised that she had misjudged Mokoba's intelligence. Of course he was going to figure it out; he was a genius in the making! Anzu then fidgeted with her scarf nervously.

"Well I am disappointed" Mokoba then mockingly sighed and Anzu turned to him

"Why?" Anzu asked giving Mokoba the chance to reply as he grinned mischievously.

"Well I would have liked you all to myself, but I suppose I could stand out of the way for my brothers happiness, besides it would be cool having you as a sister-in-law" Mokoba grinned. Anzu's eyes went wide with shock and complete embarrassment. She deepened her blush and Mokoba sniggered at the action it caused.

Suddenly before Anzu could reply and put things, well straight, a girl barged through the pair knocking Anzu off balance, sunglasses flying off her face. The girl spun around ready to give the people a piece of her mind for standing in the street but she suddenly noticed the male.

"OH MY GOD MOKOBA KAIBA!" The American girl cried and Mokoba just bashfully waved his adoration away. Anzu went to quickly pick up her glasses looking amused at Mokoba and the way he handled fans, so much differently from his brother. This slow act from Anzu soon cost her dearly. The girl then looked at Anzu picking up her glasses and went frantic causing the people around her to stop and stare.

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT, OH MY GOD!!" The girl screamed and Mokoba looked at her over exertion of being star struck with him. Anzu freaked out, she had been caught! How am I going to get out of this??!

Anzu then noticed an opening between the growing crowds, and before the girl or anyone else for that matter could give Anzu away, she gripped Mokoba and ran.

"Anzu what are you doing?!" Mokoba asked between breaths as he tried to keep up with Anzu.

"Er…saving you!" Anzu called back and then noticed the crowd were following "They're following!"

"Quick Anzu get back to the hotel, there is no way they can enter" Mokoba then called grabbing Anzu's hand and pulling her into the hotel. Seeing the crowd the security closed the doors and waited there until the crowd dispersed. Mokoba and Anzu ran to the lift and once the doors were closed breathed in relief.

"What was that about?" Mokoba said breathing heavily "I mean I know I get recognised sometimes, but that was crazy!" Anzu said nothing, she thought it was best not to, because it would have been harder to explain. She had been recognised, luckily Mokoba didn't seem to realise anything, but Anzu knew it wouldn't be long before he did, she needed to tell him.

"Mokoba listen…" but she was cut off by the lift doors opening and Mokoba storming inside. Upon hearing this Kaiba turned around from the sofa in which he was reading papers from, and gave the pair a surprised look.

"Back so soon?" Kaiba asked

"Yeah, we were just mobbed" Mokoba sighed as he sat down and Anzu silently joined him still trying to catch her breath.

"What?" Kaiba asked shocked

"A girl, who was particularly cute by the way"at this point Kaiba rolled his eyes, "spotted yours truly and then she attracted this crowd who just suddenly flipped and chased me. Poor Anzu was distraught" Mokoba said and Kaiba looked over to Anzu who hadn't spoken anything.

"I'm sorry you had to be involved in that" Kaiba spoke sincerely and Anzu looked to him "Are you OK?"

"Yes, I'm fine" Anzu smiled forcefully "I'm just tired, I think I'll lie down" Anzu then got up and walked up the stairs into her bedroom.

Kaiba watched her leave and felt a pang of guilt for Anzu. Mokoba sighed and walked to the kitchen.

"Poor Anzu, she looked so frightened when they started to chase us" Mokoba said as he poured himself a glass of milk. Kaiba said nothing; he just went back to reading his paper that he was reading before. "I mean now we can't go shopping because of those damn fans" Mokoba sighed as he sat down besides his brother.

"I'll sort it" Kaiba plainly spoke. Mokoba looked oddly at him and let the subject drop.

"Hey Anzu san can I come in?" Mokoba asked as he rapped on Anzu's door. When he didn't hear anything he carefully opened the door and poked his head through. Anzu was sitting on her bed, her legs crossed and gazing at the window with her back to the door. She seemed deep in thought, to Mokoba anyway so he decided that he would knock on the door again. This time Anzu looked around.

"Oh Mokoba-kun" Anzu said with a slight smile.

"I was just wondering how you are doing?" Mokoba asked as he sat next to Anzu on her 'floor bed'.

"I'm fine" Anzu smiled

"Well nii-sama and I were worried"

"Your brother was worried?" Anzu asked a little taken aback

"Uh huh. He even asked me to check on you" Mokoba winked "Probably didn't want to come in himself because he might have not been able to control himself!"

"MOKOBA!" Anzu cried and playfully slapped his head

"See you're smiling again, and that's the best look for you Anzu san" Mokoba smiled as he rubbed the back of his head. Anzu bashfully smiled back and felt a lot better than she did before.

"So I guess our shopping trip is off" Anzu asked

"Yeah. But Nii-sama is treating us to dinner so I came to tell you to get changed, we're off out in half an hour" Mokoba spoke as he stood up "Oh and wear something sexy" he then winked and walked out of the door before Anzu could throw something at him.

Anzu sat still on her bed, thinking about Mokoba's words. Did Kaiba really care about her? What did she really think about him? These questions confused Anzu more, and the last thing she needed was more confusion in her already weird life.

"Mission accomplished" Mokoba smiled as he walked down the stairs. Kaiba raised an eyebrow as he finished working on his papers. "I got your date with Anzu san"

"What are you talking about?" Kaiba asked

"Well I can feel the sexual tension between you so I'm going to release some" Mokoba winked

"You really should have been born a girl, that way I wouldn't have to deal with stupid comments like that and male hormones"

"Just because you weren't born with any doesn't mean the rest of us were!"

Kaiba sighed, his brother was putting his nose in a business that really had nothing to do with him, what he did with Mazaki was his business. Hang on? He wasn't doing anything with her! Bloody Mokoba Kaiba thought

"This is stupid, and you are being. I'm going to get ready for tonight" Kaiba sighed as he stood up

"Right want to look good for Anzu" Mokoba cooed

"THAT'S NOT WHY I'M GOING!" Kaiba called as he walked to his bedroom and Mokoba chuckled "Just get ready!" Kaiba then slammed the door shut leaving Mokoba with a mischievous smile.

xxxxxxx

Kaiba tugged at his tie as he tried to fix it for the eighth time. His mind was preoccupied on someone; Mazaki Anzu. For some unknown reason to him her sad face kept popping into his mind. He felt somewhat responsible for her hurting, and a pang of guilt raced through him. He admitted he wasn't very hospitable to her, and she was a least trying. Kaiba was meant to rise above verbal assaults for no apparent reason, but she reminded him of his past, with that dorky group of idiots she called friends. She was just one of them; wasn't she?

"This is getting me no where!" Kaiba grunted and stormed out of his room.

Kaiba was met with blue azure eyes when he opened his door. Kaiba stepped back away from the warmth closeness that this person was giving, and when he did he was given a full view of the one person who had preoccupied his mind the entire day.

"Gomen nesai Kaiba-kun" Anzu spoke startled

Kaiba stared at Anzu. She looked beautiful; even he had to admit it. She was wearing a dark pink strappy dress that flowed out till just above her knees. A simple necklace laced her smooth neck and she wore her hair partially up. All Kaiba could do was just stare.

"Oh Kaiba-kun, your tie is a little off" Anzu smiled and readjusted his tie, reinitiating their closeness of before. Kaiba really didn't like this, and made this fully aware by Anzu when he just glared.

"No need to thank me" Anzu plainly spoke when she finished noticing Kaiba's stare

"Am I interrupting something?" Mokoba asked with a smile as he left his room, sporting a dark red shirt and black trousers. Anzu smiled at Mokoba and decided to change the subject

"Well don't you look handsome" Anzu smiled. Kaiba then groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Not as lovely as you Anzu, really it is a shame that you were left here all by yourself in New York, such a beauty like yourself" Mokoba smiled taking her hand. Kaiba had enough of this and walked down the stairs. Why did his brother have to grow up? He much preferred the naïve boy that doted on his every word, than this teenager he was left with.

"Are we going?" Kaiba asked in annoyance

"Oh right" Anzu smiled and walked down the stairs followed by Mokoba. Anzu retrieved her coat and Mokoba slipped on his jacket as Kaiba adjusted his long black winter coat. Kaiba then opened the door and allowed Anzu through first causing a stare given to him by his brother when he past him.

"Don't start" Kaiba just whispered as he closed the door.

xxxxxxxx

"Thankyou Kaiba-kun that was a lovely meal" Anzu smiled as they walked out of the warm upper class restaurant into the cold New York night. Anzu was smiling sincerely; she actually had a good time. Kaiba had taken her and Mokoba to a very high class restaurant in which many celebrities would go. So it surprised Anzu; who was terrified of being uncovered, when the waiters and staff didn't even bat an eyelash upon seeing her, let alone the Kaiba brothers. Needless to say this relaxed Anzu to no end, and she began to smile and laugh along with Mokoba and occasionally struck up a small conversation with Kaiba.

"Your welcome" Kaiba replied suddenly as Mokoba caught up to them.

"Sorry I was…er…" Mokoba spoke

"You were eyeing her up through the meal" Anzu sighed catching on to where Mokoba had been.

"Er…hahaha…." Mokoba laughed scratching his head "Anyway, where we off to now Nii-sama, it's getting late" Mokoba then asked switching the conversation

"It's a surprise" Kaiba then spoke earning a suspicious glance from Anzu. Kaiba really was a strange one, Anzu thought as they entered the waiting limo. Today he was civil to her, she even caught him looking at her throughout the meal, which at first was awkward to say the least, but soon Anzu was liking his occasional glances, and was even returning the favour; well she wasn't blind, Kaiba was gorgeous! She just hoped she hadn't made her glances too obvious!

"Mazaki quit staring at me, you've been doing that since we left the hotel" Kaiba suddenly broke her thoughts with a smirk, and Anzu realised two things; one she was staring at him again and two Kaiba had noticed it! Damn

"Well stop staring at me Kaiba-kun, anyone would think you're flirting with me" Anzu smiled though a blush tainted her cheeks. Mokoba sniggered when he witnessed his brothers cheeks flare up, and was about to remark on this when the limo stopped and the door opened.

"Thank God" Kaiba sighed under his breath as he exited quickly first, followed by Mokoba then Anzu. They then saw their destination.

"The shopping mall?" Anzu asked with a quirked eyebrow at Kaiba. Kaiba said nothing and just walked towards a bowing man who opened the door.

"I thought this would be closed by now" Mokoba asked as they entered the huge shopping centre.

"It is" Kaiba responded simply

Ask a stupid question Anzu thought: "But if it's closed then why…"

"Because you and Mokoba didn't get to go shopping today, so I organised for the mall to be opened just for you" Kaiba said turning to Anzu who blushed again.

"For Mokoba mostly" Kaiba quickly corrected himself and turned away from Anzu, the closer he was to her, the closer he was getting to madness.

"This is awesome Nii-sama!" Mokoba cried as he ran around like a child. "Where shall we go Anzu-chan?"

"Erm well I….don't know, I'm still a bit shocked" Anzu smiled which earned a triumphant smile from Kaiba.

"I've got to do some shopping of my own, when you're both done, meet back here" Kaiba spoke as he walked away from the pair. Anzu stared off at his back walking away from them, but was soon dragged into lots of stores by Mokoba.

"So what you getting for my brother?" Mokoba asked curiously as they entered their fifth store.

"Your brother?" Anzu asked, "I hadn't actually thought about it"

"Well I got him some cool ties; he needs some, because he's too boring!" Mokoba smiled and Anzu returned the gesture.

What could I possibly get someone who has everything? Anzu thought as she looked through the trinkets in the store, she then spotted something perfect that reminded her of Kaiba instantly.

"This isn't a great store, I'm moving onto the next. Coming Anzu-san?" Mokoba asked leaving the store.

"I'll be there in a minute" Anzu called back and Mokoba nodded, leaving. Anzu then smiled at the clerk behind the desk, who was the manager of the store and their personal shop assistant. "Could I have this one please" Anzu then asked bringing out her purse as she pointed to the object.

With bags in hand Mokoba and Anzu made there way back to the meeting spot. Anzu had bought cute and interesting gifts for her friends and family back home; she even bought Jounouchi an American beer gift set. She knew she wouldn't be seeing them anytime soon but at least she had them all ready for when she was able to get home. She even bought Vigo a flamboyant shirt, as she knew sometime or later she would have to speak to him and make amends for her little disappearing act. Anzu was pleased with her gifts and couldn't wait to go and wrap them all up especially Kaiba's; for some reason she hoped he would like it and would smile at her again.

"All done?" Kaiba asked as he approached the pair handing some bags to his bodyguard.

"Yep" Mokoba smiled and Kaiba looked to Anzu who was smiling beautifully at him. Kaiba resisted the urge to smile back and just cleared his throat as he quickly made his way out of the empty mall.

They all entered the limo silently, and sat watching the snowy New York night pass them by as the limo drove away. Anzu didn't want this night to end. It had been so long since she had been outside, free, and uninhibited by the thoughts of paparazzi jumping out on her and crazed fans trying to get a piece of her. She loved being here with the Kaiba brothers and feeling once more like the girl she used to be.

"Can you make a left at these lights?" Anzu asked the driver through a speaker suddenly. Kaiba and Mokoba looked at her oddly.

"What are you doing?" Kaiba asked

"Paying you back" Anzu replied simply

"What do you mean?" Mokoba then asked curiously

"Well you have taken me out so now I'm going to show you a taste of New York winter"

Before the brothers could ask more questions the limo pulled to Anzu's destination and they all got out to curiously look at their surroundings.

"It's an ice rink" Mokoba said looking at the vast plain of ice in the centre of New York.

"Yep and its all to ourselves this time of night" Anzu smiled as she walked to a hut.

"But we haven't any ice skates" Kaiba then spoke as though it was painfully obvious.

"I know that, but I have my ways" Anzu winked and unlocked the huts door with a key she found behind a brick.

"How did you…." Mokoba began but Anzu was already explaining

"I always used to come here after shoo….work, it relaxed me and got me in the festive mood, even though I had no-one to share it with" Anzu then looked a little down trodden but quickly perked up when she found three pairs of ice skates; only Kaiba had noticed her expression. "Here these should fit" Anzu smiled handing Mokoba a pair and Kaiba the larger of the bunch. Anzu placed on her pink skates that looked like no-one had ever used them but her. Kaiba was taken aback by all of this. He had never done this before and was about to turn and sit in the limo when Anzu approached him with pleading eyes.

"Please Kaiba kun, let's skate it'll be fun"

"I can hardly see what sliding on a thin piece of ice is as regarding fun" Kaiba sarcastically spoke.

"C'mon Nii-sama, it'll be cool!" Mokoba chimed as he wobbly made his way onto the ice.

"We'll take it slow. I'll help you" Anzu smiled sincerely noticing Kaiba's displeasure. "Please"

Kaiba sighed in defiance and sat on the cold snow placing on the boots. Anzu smiled triumphantly and made her way to the ice. Kaiba gripped the edge for sheer safety and watched Anzu holding Mokoba's hand helping him skate.

"See! I'm skating!" Mokoba called child-like and all Kaiba could do was smile. After a short while of gripping onto the edge and watching the pair skate; grimacing when Mokoba fell a few times, Mokoba was skating on his own, and Anzu made her way to Kaiba. Kaiba watched her approach, and noticed that Anzu was gliding gracefully across the ice as though it was natural.

"How hard can this be" Kaiba smugly spoke to himself and pushed himself off the edge, yet toppled over almost immediately.

"Are you OK?" Anzu asked as she looked down at Kaiba sprawled out on the ice. She held back the urge to laugh and instead held out her hand. Kaiba unwillingly took it and hoisted himself back up again.

"We'll do it slow, and I'll make you a pro in no time" Anzu smiled as she took both of Kaiba's hands facing him. Kaiba blushed at the feeling of her cold hands against his; it somehow felt warm to him. Kaiba had now decided to look at his feet as Anzu called instructions to him. He then began to skate. This surprised him how balanced he was and soon, regretfully Anzu released her grip onto him and Kaiba was skating by himself.

"Hey Nii-sama! See I told you this is cool!" Mokoba smiled as he carefully approached his brother on the ice.

"Hn" Kaiba spoke as he watched his feet.

"Hey look at Anzu!" Mokoba then said causing Kaiba to look up. He was suddenly more mesmerized with her than he was earlier this morning. Anzu was gliding across the ice, almost dancing on it, as she twirled her body around and leapt off the ice. She then spun low around fast in a circle and brought her body higher and higher up until she stopped on the ice in a ballet pose. Mokoba clapped enthusiastically bringing Kaiba out of his trance and Anzu smiled gingerly at them both.

"Wow Anzu-san that was amazing!" Mokoba smiled still clapping as Anzu skated towards them. Kaiba still looked stunned and Anzu blushed at his reaction.

"Thanks. I think it's getting late though" Anzu smiled looking at her watch. They all nodded and made their way back to the hut, Mokoba nearly falling on the ice again only for Kaiba to catch him.

"Thanks Anzu, this was really fun" Mokoba smiled as he handed Anzu his pair of skates in which Anzu put away and locked the door again.

"Did you like it?" Anzu asked Kaiba as she approached him

"Yes" Kaiba answered as he rose from the snow and pattered himself down, only to have more snow pelted at him.

"Hey Nii-sama heads up!" Mokoba called after throwing a snow ball. Anzu giggled at Kaiba's face, which looked shocked then pissed off. Anzu soon though was hit with one on her side.

"Hey no fair!" Anzu called to a laughing Mokoba. She then proceeded to roll up some snow and through it at Mokoba, pathetically missing him.

"I was never any good at throwing" Anzu smiled and Kaiba bent down

"What are you doing?" Anzu asked

"Getting him back" Kaiba spoke and smiled when it hit Mokoba in the head.

This then erupted into an all out snowball fight which had Kaiba and Anzu fighting Mokoba. Needless to say Anzu was terrible at this and relied on Kaiba throwing the perfectly aimed shots at his brother, but suddenly something changed. A snowball hit Anzu from a close range, and when Anzu looked for the culprit she saw a laughing Kaiba.

"Why you!" Anzu called as Mokoba laughed hysterically. Anzu ran for Kaiba with a snowball and Kaiba ran. They raced up a small mound and Anzu almost reached Kaiba but she lost her footing and ploughed into him causing them to both topple onto the snow. Anzu ended up underneath something very warm indeed, and when she opened her eyes saw a smiling Kaiba looking down at her with snow dusting his chocolate hair. Anzu smiled up to him, and Kaiba dusted a snowy strand of hair from Anzu's face. It almost felt like a lifetime had passed as they both stayed where they were, glued onto eachothers eyes. Anzu felt her cheeks burning up as she realised the already small gap between their faces was becoming dangerously short. Kaiba placed a hand on her warm cheek and Anzu snaked her arm up his back drawing them closer….

"Hey are you guys OK?! I just saw you fall and…" Mokoba called as he reached the two and they instantly ripped apart from one another. "…I'm not interrupting am I?" Mokoba then asked with a coy smile.

"It's getting late" Kaiba spoke choosing to ignore his brothers innuendo. He then stood up and reached out for a bashful Anzu, helping her out of the snow.

"Yeah I guess it is" Anzu replied though kept her head down to avoid her blush becoming more apparent.

"Let's go home then" Kaiba said smiling slightly to Anzu who nearly lost her breath at his words. She then smiled back at him as he led her and Mokoba back to the waiting limo.

The journey back to the hotel was in silent, yet the silence wasn't deafening and uncomfortable but more relaxed and reflecting for both Kaiba and Anzu. They both glanced at eachother when Mokuba wasn't looking but neither of them knowing full well what to think, quickly turned away. It was fair to say that both parties were unsure what to make of the incident and of course where it will lead. Kaiba certainly had never planned of such matters to unfold, and having them do so against his will displeased him immensely; yet he couldn't remove his eyes and thoughts from the dancer that had only spent a mere few days in his company. She was so much more different than the other women he had met throughout his life. Most if not all were for his money and statue, yet Anzu didn't strike him as that, she knew him when he was at his worst, and even though not to thrilled to be spending time with him, here she was laughing and smiling with him, as though she knew the real him all along. But was that what she thought or were feelings and thoughts of disgust still looming within her mind?

"Well I'm off to bed, there's a programme I wanna watch on MTV" Mokuba smiled eagerly as the walked through the door, Anzu missing what he had just said. He then turned to Anzu and Kaiba as they removed their snow drenched coats. "Oyasumi Nii-sama, Anzu-chan, see you on Christmas day!!!"

"Oyasumi" they both replied and watched the 18 turned 8 year old dash up the stairs eagerly awaiting Christmas.

"Doesn't he want to wrap his presents?" Anzu the asked aloud as she remembered their earlier shopping trip

"Our staff take care of that, we're both not that wonderful at wrapping" Kaiba honestly answered going to the mini bar.

"I never struck you as somebody who couldn't do something" Anzu smiled and Kaiba looked at her with an odd expression. So Anzu thought he could do everything? Hmmm, her opinions of him weren't as bad as he thought.

"I can do most things" Kaiba then spoke as he reached down and brought a bottle of brandy out of the cabinet. Anzu blushed at his statement, clearly having her mind in the gutter. That's the last place you need to be at the moment, Anzu especially with Kaiba mere feet away from you!

"Would you like a drink?" Kaiba then asked and Anzu nodded as she walked over to him and he placed a short glass in her hands.

"It's snowing again!" Anzu smiled child-like, Mokuba really was rubbing off on her! She then opened the patio doors and walked onto the balcony. Seto followed and leaned against the railing beside Anzu looking out onto the snow lit city. The both stood there in silence, deciding to look upon the city rather than each other as recently in left in each others company has lead to unusual occurrences.

"Your dancing" Kaiba then broke the silence and Anzu looked up to him. "You're amazing" Anzu blushed feverishly at his comment

"Th…thank you" Anzu mumbled

"Have you ever though of doing it professionally?" Kaiba asked and Anzu bolted her head up

"Erm…well…I…"

"You should. My company sponsors Broadway shows I could get you an audition, if you wanted?" Kaiba spoke still not looking at Anzu as he sipped the strong liquid in his glass. Anzu was stunned at what he had said. He was offering her a place on a Broadway show without even knowing that she was already a dancing star?! Anzu felt her stomach flip as she looked over to Kaiba; she was seeing more and more of a side of Kaiba that she was quickly falling for.

"Kaiba-kun thankyou" Anzu spoke smiling brightly at him. Kaiba turned and looked at her and his eyes softened at the look on her face. "You truly have surprised me more and more over the days. I would have never thought I would have met the 'real' you" Anzu smiled

"Hn, just don't tell anyone" Kaiba smirked and noticed Anzu still smiling "It's nice to see you smiling again, you seem to have lost that a few days ago" Anzu's eyes went wide; even Kaiba noticed her downtrodden expression?

"Well I guess we both have had some cheer infused into our lives" Anzu laughed "I'm glad though, it has put things into perspective"

Kaiba looked at Anzu as she turned and gazed back to the city, and yawned.

"Go to bed" Kaiba plainly spoke

"What about you?" Anzu asked

"I have work to do, besides Mokuba won't go to bed for hours, he usually watches tv" Kaiba then walked back into the warm lounge and placed his glass down. "Tell him to turn it down if its too loud"

Anzu placed her drink down and walked over to Kaiba. "Thankyou Kaiba-kun again." She then stood up on her tip-toes and kissed a stunned Kaiba on the cheek. She then whispered against his ear "Goodnight Seto"

Before Kaiba could regain his senses Anzu had closed her bedroom door. Kaiba reached up and touched his cheek and felt the blush creep upon his cheeks. Kaiba rubbed his head and sighed. Things were definitely becoming strange and what was even stranger; Kaiba didn't want to stop it.

Anzu heaved a sigh as she leaned against her bedroom door. She had no idea why she had just done that, but she just felt so happy that it felt right. She now was wishing she hadn't. What if Kaiba was angry? What if she blew something that could have been with him? Anzu shook these thoughts away, the last thing she needed to feel was down again. After all these past through days seem to have reinvented herself once more. Anzu then looked at her phone that was on her bed. She had turned it off the minute she left the studio, which now seemed to be a lifetime ago. Anzu turned on her phone and the moment she did it came alight with messages and voicemails from the one person who she needed to make amends with; Vigo.

"Anzu…Anzu?? Where are you?! Please pick up your phone, I'm not very happy with you, neither is the director! We may loose this shoot and the charity event. Just please ring me soon!"

"Anzu, please please please ring me! I'm useless without you! Just come back, I'll make it all better again! Just come back!"

Anzu was listening to the voice messages and sighed. That last one Anzu could tell that Vigo was in tears. Anzu felt terrible guilt fill her up, and decided to press redial on her keypad and phone him.

Mokuba was laid lazily in bed as he watched the small plasma t.v on the wall of his bedroom. Different adverts were flicking across the screen but Mokuba really wasn't that interested he was waiting for his show to come on. Mokuba really enjoyed watching 'The fabulous life…' on MTV, occasionally he or his brother used to be on it, and it stated to be a Japanese special tonight, so watching what people thought of him was amusing. Needless to say Kaiba never though so.

"Tonight on the fabulous life…" The American tv narrator spoke catching Mokuba's attention and he sat up. "We look at the Japanese storm that has gave us so many talented artists over here, such as the famous Kaiba brothers…" Mokuba then smiled as he saw a picture of him and his brother swirling on the screen from different events "…the two brothers who have given the world duel monsters and the highest technology the world has ever seen" Mokuba grinned smugly, he was just like his brother after all. "But first we look at the most recent storm to catch the USA's attention…" Mokuba then turned his head slightly, he hadn't know anyone else from Japan was so well known over here; this had intrigued him.

"…she is the newest model to hit the catwalk, the brightest Broadway star, and has worked alongside countless American artists. She is of course the beautiful Anzu Mazaki…"

Mokuba was flawed. He sat gaping at the screen as there Anzu was in different poses from magazine articles and dances that she appeared in. There was no doubt, that was Anzu, but Mokuba couldn't understand why hadn't she told them??!!
