By seven, everyone was finally awake. We sat happily eating breakfast. Well, I'm not sure if chocolate biscuits and marsh mellows can be called breakfast. This was also a second breakfast for me, Ryou and Marik. Of course, Joey tried to turn our morning meal into a food fight, but a few short, sharp words and phrases from the beautiful Anzu quickly made him think twice about throwing a few half eaten marsh mellows at her.
"I think..." started Ryou, through a mouthful of biscuit, "We should play truth or dare"
"Great idea, RyRy!" cheered Anzu giving him a big smile.
"Right, I'll start! 1-2-3..." grinned Joey.
"4-5-6" mumbled Honda, who wasn't paying that much attention.
"7!" Marik
"8...9!" Smiled Ryou.
I turned to Anzu "10"
Anzu sighed "11... Truth"
"You're lame!" whined Joey.
"Thank you" Anzu said flatly.
"I've got one!" Yelled Marik waving his hand in the air "Okay... Have you ever missed a girl? Maybe Mai Valentine?"
"No. No, I defiantly haven't" Anzu raises a brown eyebrow.
"Spoil sport..." Mumbled Marik, pouting.
"ANYWAY! 1-2" said Anzu
"3-4-5" Joey turned to Honda.
"6-7-8" mumbled Honda.
"9...10!" cheered Marik.
"11" said Ryou shaking his head.
"Truth or dare, fluffy head?" asked Joey.
Ryou shook his head in disapprovement "Truth"
"Oh for fucks sake-" complained Joey again.
"Actually, I have something that I want to ask you, Ryou" I said to him "Do you really want Bakura to get taken to prison?"
"Actually that's a good question" mumbled Honda still staring at his phone.
"But it's also kind of private." pointed out Anzu
Ryou blinked at me, a calm look on his face, "No." he said sternly "But if it does go there he'll be out before he's done his time. Every time Thief was in there, he got out early..."
"Who's a Thief?" Asked Joey.
"Bakura is" sighed Anzu.
"NO! I meant Thief as in my brother!" growled Ryou.
"We know! Bakura's a thief!" Yelled Joey shaking his head.
"No, Jo, Ryou has another brother, and his name is Thief" Explained Marik.
"I didn't know you had another brother besides Bakura?" I said to Ryou.
"Yeah. I don't mention him much because I don't see much of him. He's always out you see or in his room plotting something. " Shrugged Ryou.
"Wouldn't we have seen him at school at some point? I mean you can spot a Ryou-and-Bakura look-a-like quite easy I would have thought..." Spoke up Honda.
"Actually, he looks a lot different. His hair is thinner and looks a slight different colour. Plus his skin is a really dark olive colour. He looks really strong and he's incredibly tall..." explained Ryou
"Tanned kid who is really tall... I would of thought he would have been easy to spot at school..." added Joey, narrowing his eyes in confusion of the fact he'd never seen a tanned Bakura.
"He left school two years ago, so you won't spot him there now. Plus he was hardly ever there. He was Domino High for the beginning of year 7, and for most of year 11. The rest of the time he went to the same school I used to be in." Ryou told us, stuffing his face with white marsh mellows. "He's not nice, so I'm glad you guys never met him..."
"Did Pharaoh ever meet him?" I blurted out.
I don't know why I said it. It wasn't important, but I just wanted to know. Well, I could exactly go up to Pharaoh and say 'Hi bro! Did you ever meet Thief Bakura?' since he's dead and all...
Ryou stared at me, before nodding "Yeah. Thief and Pharaoh kind of had a love/hate relationship. Your brother was really smart you know? And, not saying my brother's aren't, but he 'came in handy' when they were plotting stuff..." A half smile came up on Ryou's face and his eyes dazed to the grass "It was strange. Thief took the whole stealing thing seriously, but so did Bakura, but Bakura and Pharaoh kind of treat it like a game more than a robbery..."
"Wait! Pharaoh had part in the robberies?" Anzu almost screamed in shock. I stared at Ryou too, who looked up and let his eyes dart around at us all.
"Yeah... Sometimes… Never the huge stuff. Bakura wouldn't let him get too involved in them. He'd let him help plan them, but that's it. Bakura told me that Pharaoh took the whole thing like a puzzle of something." Ryou bit his lip. "Anyway. 1-2-3!"
I shook my head out of my day dream "4-5" I couldn't believe that Pharaoh, my own brother, my own blood had been involved in some of the biggest robberies ever committed in Domino and he'd never told me. He didn't tell anyone, but why couldn't he just admit it to me?
I was snapped out of my dreams when Ryou suddenly yelled "10!" into my ear.
"What will it be, Yug-ster? Truth... or dare?" Asked a smirking Joey.
"I'll go with Dare." I smiled.
"Okay, I've got one. Anzu can I quickly speak to you, I need a girl's opinion on this dare..." Joey began to whisper into Anzu's ear. I saw a look of surprise become glued to her pretty face.
"Fine..." she sighed with a smile.
"Okay! Yugi, you dare is to kiss ANZU!"
I stared at him. "Erm..."
"Go on Yugi! It'd be sweet!" beamed Marik.
"Alright..." I mumbled shyly.
I looked at Anzu who gave me a reassuring smile. She crawled closer to me, eyes like a saucer of sparkling sea water to my own. Her brown hair hung around her hair perfectly. I couldn't help but notice that her pastel green t-shirt, that I had originally thought to be skin tight, hung forward so it revealed a little bit of a pink frilly bra, along with a good amount of flesh. My eyes floated to gaze at her pink lips, still with a slight glassy look to them from the lip gloss she had applied yesterday. She placed herself next me. She blinked at me before laughing.
"God, you look like a scared bunny!"
My cheeks redden as my friends giggled.
"I'm not doing with everyone watching!" I retorted, crossing my arms and trying to appear pugnacious.
"Fine, me and the rest of us will go stand over there with our backs to you!" said Joey, standing up.
"How about you guys just keep walking in that direction" Anzu pointed to her left with a tiny smirk on his face.
"Fine" shrugged Joey and Marik, as they both began to walk that way.
Ryou sighed, and followed sluggishly along behind them, with Honda right behind, still observing the incoming messages on his phone.
"They're gone" whispered Anzu, turning her head towards me and placing a sort hand to my cheek "Now, don't look to terrified! I won't eat you I promise…" I smiled, raising a perfect eyebrow.
A laugh hitched in my throat at her attempt of humor. As she began to bring lips closer to mind, I began to feel myself panic. I was about to be kissed by the girl who I had spent the last 3 years admiring from afar as she danced around with my brother, twirling around him, arms round his neck, his heart shaped lips placing loving kisses on his cheeks and lips, giggling with such glee and love as Pharaoh gently kissed the back of her hand. Then he'd plant a kiss on her lips. And then a real kiss. Followed swiftly with his lips traveling away from hers and planting quick kisses and across her cheek and down her neck and lower, making her purr, as his hands slide away from her hips and began to head up towards her-
This would be the point where I would quickly leave the room. But now I was going to experience something that Pharaoh had done often, and what felt like constantly, which I had never experienced.
As shock began to take over my body, it was quickly replaced with stiffness though out my muscles.
Her lips were soft and lightly warm, sticky from her lip gloss and saliva. I forced my body to relax, and began to kiss back. Naturally, my lips became ajar and Anzu didn't take a moments thought before she bent her head to the side, opened her lips slightly before I felt the strange feeling of what felt like an animal wriggling into my mouth. I frowned into the kiss. Her tongue was slimy and squidgy as it wondered curiously through my mouth. I woke up my own tongue, and let stroke her's delicately. It wasn't long before they began to fight for dominance of my mouth. My breath struggled in my chest, forcing me to quickly end the sweet kiss, leaving us horribly breathless.
Anzu blushed, and began to wipe away saliva from around her lips with her index finger. I quickly wiped mine with the back of my hand.
"Well that was… cool…" I told her.
"Yeah" She stuttered nervously, keeping her eyes firmly away from my own.
She looked so sad and weak, as if she was a puppy who had disobeyed her owner and was being told off just a little too much.
"Can we come back yet, please?" came Ryou's call.
"Yeah!" Anzu and replied.
Joey, Tristan, Marik and Ryou came bumbling back with evil grins. They stood in a line in front of us, their stares immediately making me feel uncomfortable.
"Sooo…" Marik said flowly
"Did you do then?" asked Joey
"What were they suppose to do?" Asked Tristan
"Well you should have been listening, now shouldn't you?" Joey replied sternly.
"I was but-"
"You weren't! Other wise you would have known, you great big son-of-a-"
"They were suppose to kiss" Ryou quickly said "And did you?"
"Mmmhmm…" mumbled Anzu.
I nodded slowly. My smile had disappeared before they had come back over, but now it was a real frown. Why was Anzu so sad?
