Please read and review! Starcrossed lovers

Chapter 8: Unexpected request

Next thing she knew, he crushed his hot, hungry lips against her soft ones…

The kiss was frenzied and passionate, but at the same time tender and loving. In it Yami expressed all the feelings he had harbored for her so long, all his love and devotion… and need. He could feel her gasp and took the opportunity to slide his toungue into her warm cavern, exploring every inch of it, gently sucking at her toungue. Azu took the cue and began a fight for dominance, not really bothering anymore that she still had a headache from the blue crystal of her pendant.

"This is surreal. It's too good to be true…", she thought as they broke apart for some air.

Despite his obvious need to taste her again, Yami just put his forehead against her's, closing his eyes and enjoying the feeling of being near her again. They both panted from the lack of oxygen, but he couldn't care less. Infact, he cherished the feeling, because it showed him that this had indeed happened.

"It was not a dream." He let out a relieved sigh, when he felt her touch her lips to his head.

She embraced him, putting his head over her heart, so he could hear t pounding under her skin. Yami decided, he had never heard something more amazing. Had never felt a greater bliss, than now as she was in his arms again after so many centuries of waiting and fearing, he might not see her again.

"I love you!", he whispered, a lonesome tear sliding down his cheek from happiness.

Anzu chuckled.

"I know, but it's still nice to hear it once in a while. So, tell me again."

Now it was his turn to smile.

"I would say it over and over again, just to see you happy: I love you, Anzu. I always have and always will."

"That's good."

"Aren't you going to tell me?", he asked, knowing she teased him.

"Ah… don't know. Maybe."

"Now I'm hurt…", he told her putting fake pain in his voice.

"Oh, ok. Love you too, Yami!", she laughed at him.

"See?", he chuckled. "That wasn't so hard, was it?!"

And then he kissed her again. Gentle this time, barely touching his lips to her's. The kiss lingered without them deepening it. They were happy the way it was. It was a kiss of pure feelings, nothing physical in it, just showing what they meant to each other. After the kiss broke, Yami went on giving her face butterfly kisses and stroking her nose with his. Anzu giggled. The vampire leader could be so tender, if he wanted. How could people ever think of him as a cold-hearted monster?

"They just don't know him the way I do…", she thought. "Then again, that makes me feel special. And only thinking of someone being this close to him… makes me feel jealous… No, it's a good thing, no one knows him as much as I do…"

"What?"

The question pulled her back into reality. Her head snapped up, her eyes met his face, finding him cocking one eyebrow in amusement. She must have been really deep in thought, not to notice he stopped giving her little pecks everywhere.

"Just thinking how lucky I am."

"Oh."

She grinned. He wanted her to elaborate, buts she wasn't going to give him that satisfaction, so she just smiled at him slyly and got up. She gave her hips an extra swing as she was around the couch. When he asked her, where she was going, Anzu's smile grew seductive and her eyes shimmered with playfulness.

"Why to look after my pastries of course. I want to finish them before this night is over."

Her husky voice haunted him, sending shivers up and down his spine. Was she insinuating anything or was he just interpreting too much into her playful comment? Sure, she was obviously teasing him, but was she offering something at the same time? Or was the desire, he held so long, just taking over his senses? Whtever it was, it made him follow her into the kitchen and sneak his arms around her middle, while ravishing her neck. Anzu moeaned at his ministrations. She then lifted her arms and slid them around his neck for support as her knees buckled, placing her hands in his messy hair. Yami smirked. She seemed to hold some needs herself! Lightly grazing her delicate flesh with his teeth, making sure he wouln't bite her in the process, he wandered over to her shoulder, then to her left arm. Suddenly his toungue darted out, licking and tasting her soft skin, and she groaned in pleasure. He was doing so much, but kiss her arm and she could already feel the heat boil inside of her stomach and gathering between her tighs…

(Scene Change)

The brown-haired man was thinking hard about what the female guardian had told him. At first, he thought of it as a trap. Why would the banshee help him so much? Was this all a plan of the vampire leader to kill him? But that couldn't be, since the guardians of twilight had been around for so long and neer worked for one of the two sides of this war. So Yami couldn't be the one to sent Ishizu, or could he?
Seto wasn't convinced. He was a very suspicious man and didn't trust anybody, not even his fellow hunters.

Well, maybe he trusted his brother, Mokuba, but that was it!

However, he couldn't deny, that the guradian's advice made perfect sense. Yami was one of the most powerful creatures on earth, so only another creature beyond just powerful would be able to kill him. Problem was, how should Seto find this "Light". If he was to find Atlantis to get "The Light's" help, he was doomed. How should he do that? Noone ever found the City in the Sea… not even the vampire leader did- in fifethousand freakin' years!!! So, how was he supposed to do so in just one human lifetime?!

"What to do?", he thought aloud, while pacing in his office like a tiger in a cage. "How to find Atlantis?"

"Why don't you try those old books?", Mokuba asked all of sudden. Seto hadn't even noticed his little brother came in and if he was surprised to see him, he didn't show it.

"What books?", Seto snapped. He wasn't in the best mood today anymway and he didn't like it, when he didn't know, what others were talking about.

"Those old books Anzu kept in her apartment. She once told me, that they were chronicles from nearly five millenia ago. That's the time, when Atlantis disappeared from history books, isn't it? So, I thought, maybe you are able to find some cues in those books- if you can get Anzu to hand them over to you…"

Mokuba couldn't stop the bitterness and anger from showing in his voice. Even though he loved his brother, he never forgave him for what he did to Anzu. He had learned to love Anzu as an older sister during the time, she and Seto were engaged. But after what happened, the young woman didn't even want to talk to him on the phone, let alone see him and play with him. Mokuba had felt a little betrayed at the beginning. He felt left alone! That was until he discovered, what Seto had done to upset her. After that, he had just been angry at his brother and himself, for not noticing. A few days after, Anzu had called him on the mobile phone and apologized for her rude behavior the other day. They had started to be friends again, without Seto knowing of course…

The brown-haired man would have been so mad and would have prohibited any contact!

"Oh, she will, I'll make sure of that."

His brother's smirk wasn't anyhing of Mokuba's liking…

(Scene Chance)

Yami had Anzu now sitting on the kitchen table, facing him, while he still worshipped her upper body with his mouth and hands. His right was tracing the outline of her breast, feeling no bra, just the thin material of her shirt standing in between him and the soft mounds of flesh. It got him only more aroused to think of it. Eliciting moans of pleasure he began to fondle her breast, while his mouth traveled back up her throat to capture her lips in a searing kiss. Her hand slid from his hair and wandered down over his chest, fingers hastily unbottoning his shirt amd sliding it off his shoulders, then caressing the firm muscles of his lower abdomem. Yami's öeft hand found it's way to the hem of her shirt and he was about to remove it over her head, when there was a knock on her front door.

"Ignore it!", he said in between kisses.

"I can't." She too seemed reluctant to go.

"Why?" Another knock.

"Because only ne person knocks like that."

"If it's Mai, I swear I will bite her!", he growled as he let go of her and moved aside, so she could get past him.

"Hide!", she ordered him, before she walked towards the door. She made sure Yami was nowhere to be seen, before she opened. Outside was- just like she had predicted- a very pissed Kaiba. Behind him she could see Mokuba shooting her an apologetic and… pleading?…look.

"What?", Anzu snapped.

"I'm here for business."

Anzu cocked an eyebrow, giving him a look, that clearly said 'Who cares! And besides, I would be most pissed, if you were here for anything else', then she shrugged and was about to shut the door in his face, when he forced his way inside.

"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing, Seto Kaiba?! Out of my apartment."

"Not without the books. Where are they?"

"What books?"

"The chonicles you inherited from your uncle."

"What do you want them for?"

"None of your buisness!", he snarled angrily, but she wasn't impressed.

"In that case, the books are none of your buisness… Now, get out!", she snapped back, hands on her hips and a dangerous glare in her eyes.

"Hand them over!", Kaiba ordered coldly as he extended a hand.

End of chapter

A/N: Poor Yami and Anzu. Interrupted in such an interesting moment… Well, maybe they'll resume later on. By the way, there might be a lemon in later chapters. So the rating will probably go up. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for reading.
