Hi again everyone, this week was nice, 3 exam, I made a bet that I just won yesterday and all kind of things...ah yes I told my fried who I loved and she's set on putting us together, each time she sees him and I'm next to her she's calling him and saying hi to him. Gee she even went to talk to him at lunchbreak and as son as I joined them she ran away saying she had to meet her boyfriend and let me all alone with him (and the worst is I never saw it comming)
review: yayyy I got over 100, I'm so happy and I got so many review last chapter.
InuNightWalker: Yay I'm evil hehe, and about double is trouble again, I would post it but I still have some planning to do and I haven'T even started to write it, I rarely write in avance, I post as soon as I'm done lolll.
Jean-Luc-Lover: thanks for the review, I think you are the second one to say my writing is good, I actually have a beta on my computer but it doesn't do grammar, I also have an editor since the begining of this story but she's grounded until december so I'm on my own until them, but I guess I improved since I didn't got any bad comment on my grammar last chapter an it wasn't edited lolll.
ed-n-envys-matchmaker: I,m sure I made a mistake somewhere in your name lolll. (eat cookies) thanks for the review.
mischiefmagnet: well you are close enough to the truth, I swear it's close, but it's a lot more complicated than that. I'm the almighty author lolll. but the real romance fun is starting in this chapter (why do I feel I said that a few times already?)
Kalimoto: (give bownies) yea, the only thing is, both of them are in denial lollll, I wonder who will crack first. (like I don't already know)
Tracy Jonhson: loll I didn'T expected someone to find this chapter funny, but I guess it depends on people.
Asj Johnson: well they are not really suspicious, they were just joking when they said Kaiba had a crush on anzu (if they had suspicion they would have killed him already) And Kaiba didn'T pretend to love her, he just wanted to annoy her and that was the best way he could find (and maybe somewere in the back of his mind he really wanted to kiss her, who knows...oh wait, I know lolll)
Thanks to all the other reviewers, I really apreciate you taking the time to answer even if it's just to say you enjoy the chapter, and once again no thanks to the reader hiding in the bushes and never reviewing, you could do it at least one time, it wouldn't kill you.
Chapter 10: Miserable.
Anzu put the phone down on the receiver and sighed, she felt like crying and hiding under her bed for the rest of her life, she couldn't believe her best friends weren't believing her, she put the closest thing to her and threw it as hard as she could on the wall, luckily for her it was just a teddy bear. She stood up and went to the mirror to see what she looked like, she looked all messed up for crying for 2 hours before getting Yugi's phone call.
"I don't get it." She said to no one, looking at her reflection. "I should have known Kaiba was capable of such a thing in his twisted mind but I still don't get it..." She looked at her reflection as if it was going to give her the answer. "Why did I kiss him back?" She half yelled in frustration. Anzu sighed, her stupid reflection wasn't going to give her the answer. It's not possible that I enjoyed it...isn't it?

The next day Anzu felt no better, in fact, she felt even worst because she had to go to school and once again she was late and the only two empty places were next to Kaiba or Joey. She spend a lot of time trying to figure out was wrong with her, why she enjoyed his kiss...and why she wanted him to kiss her again, there was an obvious reason but Anzu refused to even think about it. She wasn't in love with him.
Anzu sighed and sat down at her usual spot, next to Joey. "Hi guys." She greeted, not really what you can call cheerful.
"Hi Anzu." Yugi said. Joey and Tristan, however, did noting to acknowledge her.
Anzu sighed. "Why won't you just believe me, this is so ridiculous, I'm not going out with Kaiba and I swear I never kissed him." Of course the last part was a lie but Joey and Tristan didn't need to know that and anyway they had a truce with Kaiba so she didn't had the right to say it.
"Wait a minute, how do you know we know you kissed him?" Tristan asked.
"...Yugi told me." Anzu said weakly, she really didn't want to put him in trouble.
"Look Yug, you can't be with both of us on that one, you either are with us or believe her white lies, you choose." Joey said, not even looking at his best friend.
Yugi sighed, the teacher entered the classroom and gave a detention to three people for not sitting on their chair so Yugi decided to wait until later to continue to argue with them.
888888888
"Guys you really are over doing it, Anzu is our friend, she did nothing wrong anyway." Yugi said.
"Friend or not she sold herself to the enemy." Joey said.
The argument lasted for a few minutes before Yugi finally gave up, he left the table and walked over to where Anzu was sitting. "I swear those two are unbelievable at times."
"It's ok Yugi, at least you tried, I'm sure they'll calm down eventually."
"I know, but you know Joey, when it concern Kaiba he can stay mad for a long time."
"I know, and that's why you probably should go back."
"Are you sure?" Yugi asked.
"Of course I am, the last thing I want is for them to get mad at you because of me." Anzu said, she faked a smile but it was easy to see she was sad about it. "Anyway, you said it yourself, they won't stay mad at me for long."
"If you think so." Yugi left the table where he was sitting with her and walked toward Joey and Tristan's with a last look at Anzu.

Unfortunately Anzu and Yugi were wrong, for the first two week Anzu tried to talk to them each day but they always ignored her and it really was starting to get to her, she stopped going to her dance practices because she couldn't dance anymore, she never smiled, he grades were going down and she became unusually quiet. At the end of the third week Anzu was almost like a ghost, it was a mystery how she could still go around, she also disappeared each time she had a break between classes and lunch break, she even got thinner than she was because she couldn't eat anymore. Of course no one noticed this, Anzu was never one to bring attention on herself so no one saw the changes, or noticed she wasn't hanging out with Yugi and the others anymore, not even Joey and Tristan notices it, no one but Yugi himself and a certain someone else did.
Kaiba was taking his books out of his locked when he saw her, she ran passed him like he wasn't even there and hid in the girl's bathroom, she was doing that a lot lately. Kaiba felt a little pang of guilt in his stomach, yes, Seto Kaiba could feel guilt, but he never showed it and only Mokuba knew it...Mokuba was the only one who knew he was a human.
"She's miserable you know, and it's your fault."
Kaiba looked down and saw Yugi standing next to him. "So?"
"You're the one who did all this, and you did it on purpose, Joey and Tristan won't believe her nor me." Yugi said.
Kaiba looked at him suspiciously, he had a feeling her knew where this was heading. "And you are telling me this because?"
"Because it's all you fault and you're the only one who can fix it." Yugi said.
Kaiba laughed a little. "And why should I? Do you really think I care?" He didn't even wait for an answer before turning his back to him and walking away, he didn't like where this conversation was going.
"I know you care Kaiba." Yugi said, that was enough to stop the young CEO and made him turn around. "I saw the way you were looking at her just a minute ago."
Kaiba snorted. "Yea right."
"I know it's true Kaiba." Yugi said before leaving.

During his math class Kaiba just couldn't get Anzu out of his head, he didn't need Yugi to remind him he was feeling guilty, but there was no way he was ever admitting it out loud...and there he thought by making her hate him even more he would stop thinking about her all the time, now it was even worst. His eyes drifted toward her seat, being at the back of the class had some advantages, he could watch her all he wanted without anyone to notice (even if he was trying to convince himself it was just to pass time), but Anzu wasn't there, Kaiba guessed she was probably still in the bathroom.
For the next 15 minutes Kaiba watched her empty place, and her so called friends, Joey and Tristan, who didn't even seem to care, or to noticed it for that matter, they really were idiots in his opinion, he never even thought this would take such big proportions, he was expecting the Mutt to be mad at her for four days at the most, not four weeks and this was not helping to ease his guilt. Then, all of a sudden, Kaiba couldn't stand it anymore, with no apparent reason Kaiba stood up from his desk in the middle of the teacher's speech and started walking out of the room.
"And where are you going like that mister Kaiba?" The teacher asked once Kaiba was at the door, luckily for Kaiba it wasn't Mr Filion or he would have been in trouble.
"Important meeting." Kaiba lied before closing the door behind him.
Kaiba had only one destination in mind, the girl's bathroom, he was going to get rid of this stupid feeling of guilt once and for all, it had driven him nut for the past three weeks. Once he was there, Kaiba entered with no hesitation, if he cared about what others thought about him he wouldn't be a jerk all the time so he didn't give a damn if someone saw him entering the girls bathroom, the worst that could happen was that people start thinking he had sex with someone in there. And they could believe whatever they wanted, he didn't care, he had something to do and he was going to do it.
Upon entering the bathroom he heard nothing but silence, but after a few seconds he started to hear sniffling, she was here alright, he looked around a little bit and found her sitting alone on the ground in a well hidden corner.
"You know, that's probably not a really clean place to sit." Kaiba said.
When she heard the voice Anzu's head shoot right up and glared at him with all her might, it didn't even took her one second before she was standing up in front of him. "You jerk!" She slapped him as hard as she could.
"I guess I deserved that one didn't I?"
Anzu looked up in surprise, that was the last thing she was expecting from him. But her surprise was quickly replaced by all the anger she accumulated toward him during the last month. "Damn right you deserve this, you are such a jerk and a cold hearted bastard." While yelling everything that came to her mind Anzu was holding his shirt with one hand and punching him in the chest with the other, Kaiba was letting her take out her anger, he couldn't really do anything to stop her and anyway she wasn't hitting that hard. "You don't have a heart of ice, you don't even have a heart at all, the only thing you care about it your stupid machine, you don't even know what it means to be human and I hate you, you hear me? I HATE YOU!" Anzu stopped punching him and was now crying in his chest, clutching his shirt with both hands.
Kaiba could feel his cheeks go a light shade of pink but he had too much on his mind to care, he was really confused by the girl in front of him, one second she was yelling at him, calling him everything she could think of and the next she was crying in his chest, clutching to him as if her life depended on it. He did the only thing he could think of, he put his arm around her, it always worked on Mokuba so why not on her. "I hate you Kaiba." Anzu repeated between sobs. Kaiba closed his eyes, he didn't understand why but these words had hurt him a lot.
"You should go home." Kaiba told her once she calmed down a little bit. "I'll call a limo, is that ok with you?"
Anzu nodded, still sobbing lightly, she really wanted to leave this place and when Kaiba is offering you a favour you have to be a fool to refuse.
88888888
Kaiba waited outside with her until the limo arrived, none of them said a word to the other but Anzu was still holding on him. Once the limo left with her it was lunch break, Kaiba walked back inside and decided to find a certain mutt he knew. He spotted him fast enough, he was walking toward the cafeteria with Tristan and Yugi, acting as if nothing was wrong. How predictable. Kaiba thought. He caught up with them in 3 seconds, he grabbed Joey by the collar and pined him against the closest wall.
"What's your problem Kaiba?" Joey asked.
"My problem is that you are the biggest idiot on this planet." Kaiba replied. "You are such an idiot you can't even see something just as obvious as the Geography teacher's nose." The Geography teacher was well known around the school for his enormous nose, it was impossible to miss it, it was just four time bigger than the average.
"What are you talking about Kaiba?" Joey asked. He was trying to force Kaiba to let him go but it was no use, even when Tristan went to help him they couldn't even make Kaiba move one inch or make him loosen his grip on Joey's collar.
Eventually, after 5 second of having Tristan literally on his back, Kaiba grew tired of this and threw both of them on the floor, he walked next to where Joey was lying and looked down at him. "Listen here mutt, there is nothing going on between me and Anzu, I kissed her only because I knew it would piss you off and you would be mad at her for a few days but this is way over the line. Do you have any idea just how much you are hurting her?"
"And what do you know about it?" Joey stood up.
"The fact that she was having a breakdown in the girls bathroom should give you a clue." Kaiba said.
"Nice try Kaiba, do you really expect me to believe you care about her?"
"Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I want her to throw herself off a cliff because of something I did. Now you know, I can't force you to believe me, do whatever you want with it, just don't blame it on me later." Kaiba started to walk away.
Joey watched him leave for a few seconds. "Kaiba wait. Where is she?"
Kaiba stopped and turned around. "I send her to her house." He answered before leaving.

Ok things are getting better, and kinda romantic XD well now if you'll excuse me but I'm in vacation today, I didn't had a 4 days weekend in months and the temperature just went up to 10 Celsius degree, which is way over the season's average so if you'll excuse me I'm going outside to enjoy it.
