A/N: I'm back! After almost a year of hibernating, I'm finally back. I really am very sorry for not updating for such a long time. I have my reasons. One is I have been very busy in my studies. I had to have good grades, you know. Also, before I continue writing this fic, I want to experience attending a summer class. And I already did. The summer class I attended in Integral Calculus is over. I took it for advancement and for the experience. Anyways, now that I have experienced what I need to, I can continue since now I have the knowledge. - also, I want to be honest. I really got discouraged about the reviews I've been getting. Or rather, the lack of it. I noticed that I was mistaken by the spelling of Yugi's name. I spelled it as "Yuugi". So stupid of me. But don't worry, I already changed it. But then, I realized that it's just normal for a beginner like me and I'm quite lucky to have over 30 reviews. Better than nothing,right? And for those who reviewed, thank you so much!
Enough of that, here is Chap7 and I made it just a little longer than usual to cover up for the long wait. I also included a few mushy scenes since I think it is the right time. I hope you'll like this.

CHAPTER 7- THE VISIT
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What a coincidence… Maybe the two of you are—"
"The two of us are what?"
"Destined for each other." Mai said.
At that, Anzu choked. "That's pure crap, Mai." She gasped,reaching for her coke.
"It's not An—"
When Mai stopped midsentence, Anzu raised an eyebrow at her, willing her to continue. Mai didn't. instead of continuing, Mai started eating her food. When Anzu creased her forehead, Mai rolled her eyes and signaled to her back. When she looked, she saw Yami and the rest of the group heading towards them. She just shrugged and finished on what was left of her food.

When the guys finished ordering and went back to their table, Jounouchi teased Anzu.
"You finished with your meal quite quick, Anzu! You weren't very hungry, were you?"
"Well, in fact I was. Why, is it that obvious?"
"It is. Very." Honda chimed in.
At that, Anzu just laughed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later that night, Anzu waited for Yugi's call. And when the phone finally rang, Anzu, who was lying on her bed, snatched it up from the receiver.
"Yugi?" she greeted
"Yeah, it's me." Said Yugi's cheerful voice.
"Finally. So,what time will you be here tomorrow?"
"9 in the morning."
"Okay. Just don't forget to bring those stuffs you're gonna give me, 'kay?"
"What if I forget?" Yugi joked.
"I won't let you in!" She countered the nalughed before saying, "Just kidding."
"I know. So, that's it Anzu. See ya tomorrow. Good night!"
"Okay, have a good night too, Yugi!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DING DONG!
When Anzu heard the sound, she grunted and instinctively covered her ears with a pillow. She still wants to sleep. But when the doorbell rang again, her mind suddenly cleared. She looked at her clock and her eyes widened when she saw that it was already past nine. It must be Yugi ringing her doorbell. At that, excitement rushed to her bones. She dashed for the door and opened it without even bothering to look at her appearance. She then hugged Yugi and said "I've missed you Yugi!" Yugi has grown fast. He's taller than me now. And he smells good. Still hugging Yugi, Anzu saw another Yugi at the back of the one she's hugging. A smaller and a grinning one. Wait, is the one she is hugging the real Yugi? Or is it um…Yami? Uh-oh…
"He's not Yugi, Anzu. I'm Yugi." Said the one in the back.
At that, Anzu blushed and quickly withdrew her arms from Yami. She mumbled a quick "Sorry" then backed off as a realization hit her. And that realization made her want to close the door and run to the nearest mirror to check her appearance. Instead of doing that, she simply combed her hair and came up with a nervous smile. "Hi. Um.. sorry for that Y-yami. And good morning to you Yugi."
Yami just shrugged and then Yugi said, "Good morning to you too Anzu! Looks like you just got up from bed."
Anzu blushed again. "Well, yeah. Obviously."
"Are you not going to let us in, Anzu? It's hot out her, you know!"
"Oh! Um… come on. Get in. F-feel at home." She stammered.
When the two has entered, she closed the door and said, "I'll just fix us something to drink. I'll be back after a sec."
Instead of going directly to the kitchen, she went to the bathroom and quickly fixed herself. After fixing herself, she proceeded to the kitchen and fised three glasses of orange juice. She also got out the remaining chocolate cake in the fridge and got three slices from it. She then went back to the living room.
She laid the tray on the small table at the middle of the room then sat opposite to Yami and Yugi.
When she has settled herself, Yugi said in his always-cheerful voice, "Anzu, this is my older brother Yami, and Yami, this is my bestfriend Anzu. By the looks of it, am I right that you already know each other?"
Glancing at Yami, Anzu replied, "Um… Yeah. We attend the same class."
"Oooh.. That's nice! I won't have any difficulty in carrying out my plan then!" Yugi then winked at her mischievously.
"And what kind of plan is that, little brother?" Yami quietly said.
"Well, it's a secret."
"Yugi! Come on, spill it out!" Anzu urged.
"I won't! Haha..!"
"Whatever! Hmp!" Anzu pouted.
"I'll tell you about it when the right time comes." Yugi said, mischief still written in his eyes.
"Fine. So, why don't you tell me about you and Yami being brothers?" she said, changing the topic.
"Okay. Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cindere—"
"Yugi! Be serious!"
Yugi grinned. "Just kidding. Well, we are siblings and Yami here is older by a year. When Grandpa got sick three years ago, our family went here in Domino to visit him. When he got well, I decided to stay and continue my studies here while my parents and Yami went back to Taiwan. And then, a year ago, Yami and I exchanged places. So he stayed here and I went back to Taiwan. And now, as you can see, I'm back here."
"But how come you didn't tell me that you have a brother?"
"Well, that's a part of my secret."
"What! That's so unfair Yugi! I've been your bestfriend for a few years and you definitely owe me an explanation!" Anzu blurted out.
"I know! I know1 I'll tell you later about it, okay?"
"I'll shave your hair off if you don't. Hmp."
XXXXXXXXXXXX
While Anzu and Yugi argued, Yami just kept silent. He just stared at Anzu while sitting comfortably on the couch. A small smile tugged on his lips as he listened to the discussion.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Anzu still wanted to urge Yugi to tell her everything but she became conscious because she noticed Yami staring at her. She could feel herself blush at the way he was staring and smiling. And to hide off her consciousness, she picked up her glass of juice and drank. Yugi also drank from his glass. When Anzu put down her glass, she met Yami's eyes and told him to drink his juice.
After a sec, Yami tore his gaze away from hers and drank a portion of the orange juice. Anzu then turned back to Yugi and asked him as to where her presents are.
"Oh! Anzu, I'm so sorry! I forgot!"
"You're not going to fool me, Yugi! I know you brought it!"
"Just kidding. It's in that paper bag beside Yami."
"I knew it!" she exclaimed happily. "Thanks Yugi!"
"Is that it? Don't I get a hug from you? You've hugged Yami earlier so I think it's just right for you to give me a hug since I'm your bestfriend, right?"
"Right." When Anzu stood up and hugged Yugi, her gaze went up to Yami who was at Yugi's side. She then lowered her gaze, backed off, and went back to her place earlier.
XXXXXXXXXXX
A few minutes later, when Yugi finished his cake, he stood up and asked Anzu if he could use the comfort room.
"Sure. You know where it is, right?"
"Yeah." Yugi then went to the C.R.
Anzu just continued eationg on what was left of her cake. When she finished, she saw that Yami wass also finished with his cake, too. She stood up and when she was about to get Yami's glass, Yami stopped her hand with his and told her that she has some crumbs on her face.
Not able to absorb what Yami said, Anzu just fixed her gaze at him.
Seeing her reaction, Yami smiled and let his other hand go up her face and brush the crumbs away from the side of her lips. "You eat like a child." Yami commented.
Anzu just continued staring at him for she couldn't come up with anything to say. Her voice seems to be stuck somewhere in her throat.
"Um.. uh.. er.. I-i'll just p-put these g-glasswares b-back to the k-kitchen." She stammered.
Yami let go of her and when she finally reached the kitchen, she let out a very long sigh then giggled. She couldn't erase the smile from her lips.
When she was about to go back to the living room, she saw Yugi step out of the comfort room. Before he could go any further, Anzu pulled him and trapped him in the kitchen.
"Now that we're alone Yugi, why don't you tell me everything?"
"What do you mean everything?"
"Everything! Tell me about your 'plan' and tell me why you didn't mention Yami to me before!"
"Fine. Just don't shout at me. Well, I didn't mention Yami before since I want the two of you to hook up."
"Hook up!"
"Yeah. And that plan I mentioned earlier is about matchmaking the two of you. And I believe that won't be difficult since I can see that Yami is quite interested with you. And you with him. Right?"
"T-that's not right!" she defended.
"Really?" Yugi said in disbelief.
"Really. So before that brother of yours get bored, let's go back to the living room."

A/N: the next chapter will be the visit part 2. so sorry for making you wait. I'll immediately write the continuation after I enroll.

I decided that from now on, I will be replying to my reviewers. This is just a way of thanking them for reviewing.
Nightfall2525 – you are my very first reviewer! Thank you so much! Well, yami being the teacher isn't what I planned. Obviously. . Although you gave me an idea there. Since I have this fascination about school fics, I might write a YamiXAnzu fic about that. )
Alright cracks nuckles who ... – thanks! I'm quite flattered. I hope you still find it good.
ANZUXATEM4EVER – is it really very good? - thanks!
Nightfall2525 – well, as you've found out, nothing really interesting about her finding Yami and Yugi as brothers. )
Van no daisuki! . OMG did... – mic! Thanks for taking the time to review!
SeaBreeze – I'm sorry if I update quite slow. I write quite slowly since I really don't have the mind of a real writer. But I hope I'll improve.
Amazoness Archer – I agree that YamiAnzu fics are one of the best. I've come to realize that I have not been very specific as to why both of them failed. I, myself don't know. But I want them to fail! And since this is my plot, I can do whatever I want. And they already failed! Bwahaha!
silver-moon-sapphire-sky – don't worry, I'll finish what I have started.
akoayisangbadsaintz – my bestfriend! Thanks for the support! -

ang3L-blue – the pairing is jou/mai and yami/anzu but more on yami/anzu and little mai/jou. About triangles, I'm not going to put some in this fic. i'm already having difficulties in anzu and yami and I don't want to have more. But nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion.

Invisible Chicken – I believe you're still alive, right? It has been almost a year. I don't want to be the cause of your death. ).
