+'Be My Cinderella'
[Chapter Seven]
Yami laid the back of his head on the wall. He was bored and watches as Anzu tried to pick a necklace she likes. He had promised that he would take her to the store, half hoping that Yuugi would tag along too. But it still seems that Yuugi was still avoiding and ignoring him.
He deeply missed talking to boy. Yami knew he had fell hard for Yuugi, who wouldn't? Yuugi was cute, adorable, fun to hang out with, kind-hearted and passionate. Yami sighed, "There's must be a reason why Yuugi is holding back, I know that he loves me too." Yami thought, already planning inside his head to find and talk to the boy later.
"Hey! You're the boy who has purchase the 'Cinderella' book right?" The shop keeper smiled with her long blond curls of hairs in a neat plait. She inches Yami to come closer to her with her hand, "Come here, I want to show you something." She announced and Yami curiously walked over to the girl. She took out a small box and inside reveal a small glass slipper key ring, "This just came by today and I thought that you should have it."
Yami's eyes locked onto the beautiful, shiny, glass slipper, "Why are you giving this to me?" He questioned feeling awfully confused.
The girl grinned in a joking way, "You seem like a prince that is looking for his Cinderella…." She stopped joking when Yami still looked confuse, "Just take it!" She insisted and shoved it into Yami's hand, "Hopefully this will help you find your Cinderella eh?" She cracked another smile.
Yami stared at the small box in his hand and looked back at the girl, "Thanks, I really needed this." He smiled back gratefully.
"Yami! What you got there?" Anzu asked with a smiley face on and stared at his hands, "Can I see it?"
Yami scratched his head, "Sorry, this is for my mother and it's already wrapped." He lied.
"Oh, ok then." Anzu's smile wavering a bit, "Let's go and get ice-cream!"

Yuugi was carrying two bags full of fresh fruits and vegetables. He had just come back from the grocery, buying ingredients for the cooks. When he got nearer to the Mazaki's residence, he noticed a familiar sport black car parked outside their fence. And the person he wanted to see and didn't want to see was standing beside his car looking at him. Yuugi immediately tried to run inside the household but Yami managed to block the entrance by standing in front of him.
"We need to talk Yuugi." Yami said.
"Yami….." Yuugi looked around, "What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here! What if Anzu saw-" Yuugi quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself for saying more.
"So she really has been holding you back from me." Yami said firmly, "She doesn't want you to like me."
Yuugi was too scared to look at Yami and he moved back when Yami tried to touch his cheek, "Please, just go," He begged, "It's really hard for me to see you. I can't do it."
Yami shook his head, "But Yuugi, you have to hear me out first. I don't care what anyone, last of all Anzu, says."
"That's the problem…." Yuugi whispered, tears were threatened to fall from his eyes, "I must listen to Anzu! She's my sister and I care for her!"
"Listen to me," Yami said, "I know you've been put into all this misery because of me. I know you can't go against Anzu because her family has been good to you, and well, you seem to still be dedicated to them, even though Anzu treats you like a slave, but you have to look at your own happiness too!" Yami pointed out.
Yuugi shook his head and tried to push past Yami, "I'll hurt your foot again if I have to!" Yuugi warned and he was not smiling.
"You can step on my foot, hit me, kick me, yell at me all you want," Yami said, as he raised his hands, "But I want you to know Yuugi, that-"
"Yami, Anzu could be watching, just go away," Yuugi pleaded, dropping his grocery bag and tugging Yami's arm.
"-I am-"continued Yami, his eyes locking with Yuugi's. Yuugi tried to cover his ears with his hands, but Yami pulled his hands away, "-in love with you." Yami finished, pulling the small boy in his arms. Yuugi was silent. He had known this for a while, but was still as speechless as ever.
Yuugi tried to hold back tears, "You're making my heart break and Anzu's too." He managed to croak out.
"Well, you're breaking mine!" Yami replied back harshly, tightly holding onto Yuugi's shoulder. Yuugi stared at the ground with his eyes closed. Yami loosened his grip, and he felt sorry for doing this to Yuugi. He let go of him. "I'm sorry, go on and hit me."
Yuugi shook his head slowly, wiping his eyes. They stared at each other. "I'm sorry." Yuugi murmured softly.
Yami reached out a small box from his pocket and handed it over to Yuugi, "This is for you and don't let Anzu see it." Yami said and kissed Yuugi on the forehead, for a few moments. Then he moved away and both of them looked at each other quietly, "I'll be going now." He turned around and walked back to the sidewalk before he quickly looked back over his shoulder, "Think about your decision!" He shouted out and then he was gone.
Yuugi stood still for a moment, and then finally opened the lid of the box that Yami had given him. He gasped when he saw a beautiful small glass slipper, "How did he know?" Yuugi whispered and tears were forming in his eyes once more. He noticed a small note was hidden inside the slipper.
I'm your prince forever. Be my Cinderella?
Tears ran down Yuugi's face and he slightly smiled to himself.

The rest of the gang excluding Yuugi and Yami were all at a café together. "Wouldn't it be awesome if Yami and Yuugi got together? Then it would a four group date instead of three…." Ryou sighed.
"We all know Anzu is in the way." Bakura pointed out, drinking his hot chocolate, "Yuugi should just screw her and be with Yami. End of a happy story."
Jounouchi rolled his eyes, "Idiot. Anzu's is his sister. Yuugi's heart is too selfless to do that. We have to think of a plan to help them out."
"Well pup…I think I might have an idea…." Seto said.
"Really? What is it?" Malik asked curiously, "It better not be killing Anzu and buried her at the school's yard….Marik and Bakura already suggested it."
Seto glared lightly at Malik, "Do I look like two stupid idiots?"
"HEY!" Bakura and Marik shouted out in unison.
Seto ignored them, "We all know Yuugi and Yami liked each other but Yuugi is not going to do anything that would hurt his sister, right?" Seto explained and Jounouchi urged him to continue on, "Well, what if….we play matchmaker and find a better guy for Anzu?"
Jounouchi clasped his hands together, "That's a great idea! We find the perfect prince for Anzu and then Yuugi and Yami can finally be together!" He emphasised excitedly, hugging Seto.
"I still like our ideas better with killing her…." Marik mumbled to Bakura who nodded his head along as they watched the others discussing their plan.

Anzu had been watching the scene from the window. She had seen and heard everything. She felt hurt, sad and angry at the same time. Yuugi was right, this had really broke her heart. So, this was what those two would do behind her back? Anzu felt betrayed, both by Yami and Yuugi.
This wasn't fair! Yuugi knew that she liked Yami first! Angry and frustrated tears fell from her eyes. Does this make her the third-wheel? Was her love only one-sided love? It wasn't fair. When she had first laid her eyes on Yami, she knew he would be the one.
Yuugi. Everything was always Yuugi. Maybe this was her life, always having to lose to her brother.
Anzu laid her face on her pillow, letting endless tears flowed down her beautiful, pale cheek. She didn't know what to think and do now. Is this the end? Was there no other way for her to win Yami's heart? Then something shot through Anzu's mind.
There was one person that might able to help her be with Yami. She still has a chance!
Anzu quickly took her pink mobile from her desk and dialled.

Yami had driven all the way back home.
He opened the door to his mansion. Empty. "Welcome home." He whispered to himself and closed the door. He was used to quietness and loneliness. Yami wasn't like other rich families with hundreds of servants and maids. He thought it would be a waste of money, and it's wasn't like his parents were home. They never were.
Yami had sent his nanny to take a vacation, "The old maid needs a break." He thought with a chuckle and shivered slightly. For some reason, he felt really cold. Maybe he shouldn't have worn such a thin shirt on a cold windy day.
Images of Yuugi filled Yami's mind. He was beginning to think of him every minute of the day. He especially was longing to see him smile, which had disappeared for quite some time now. Yuugi was driving him crazy.
Yami went over to his huge soft sofa and lay down on it, still shivering. His eyes landed on the 'Cinderella' book on his coffee table, the book he had purchase several week ago.
He had seen Yuugi looking at this book and cried. Yami knew this book must be important to Yuugi, which was why he had brought it and read it every night.
Cinderella. It was about a girl, waiting for her prince charming. But to him, he felt like it was the prince waiting for the 'right' one.
"When will my Cinderella finally be mine?" He whispered.
So tired and sleepy right now *yawns*
This story have been stuck in my mind for the whole day, and I couldn't do any homework unless I have finish typing this chapter up X_X.
Aww...don't you all feel sorry for Yami? xD *author making Yuugi give Yami a hug right now* =D Hee hee...
So...I was wondering, should I have Otogi or Honda to be Anzu's perfect guy? Or should I make a name up? ^^ Yeah I know, Bakura and Marik's idea were better but I thought I might as well give Anzu a happy ending as well xD LOL.
