A/N: Chapter 10 Whoohoo! I've done it. Another hard chapter to write, but I did enjoy it. Thank you guys for patiently waiting for this update. So, I'm at university now and I really like it. I've met so many new people. Okay guys, update, I will try and publish my chapters weekly on Sundays now. If not, if I have a busy schedule, I will publish every 2 weeks instead. So, I hope you all enjoy the latest chapter. As always, a review is much appreciated.

Chapter 10: Date

I'm late, I'm late! "Ouch!" Anzu tripped over her chair, causing her head to come into contact with her desk. She slowly comes into a seated position, whilst holding the back of her head to ease the throbbing pain. Why she tripped over, was to do with the fact that she was still trying to decide what to wear for her date with Yugi. Currently, she was still in her pyjamas.

After the pain went away, she stands up and walks to her open wardrobe. Facing the open wardrobe, stocked with a variety of clothing, she picks out different styles of tops and bottoms, seeing which ones would go together. "Hmm…perhaps a dress would be better…ugh! I don't know." She places the garments back into her wardrobe. Next, she jumps, face down, onto her bed. She begins acting girlie by giggling and rolling around on the covers. Eventually, she ends up wrapped up like a caterpillar. Anzu couldn't contain her excitement, after all, it was her and Yugi's first 'official' date together.

She looks at her clock, reading 10:12am. She sighs, knowing that he'll be arriving to come and get her at 11. She wriggles herself out of the covers, gets up, and returns to her position at the wardrobe. She grabs one of her dresses. It was a short blue denim skater dress. One of her new purchases when she went shopping with Mai. This might work. I mean, it's not too formal nor too casual. She thinks momentarily and decides to go with it, since she didn't have much time to get ready. "White tennis shoes should do fine. Now, what underwear do I wear…?" She removes her dress from the wardrobe, and in the process of doing so, she knocks over something. Confused, because she couldn't see anything at first, she kneels down and searches in her wardrobe to see what fell over. Her hand retrieved the small bag that Mai had given her, with the 'you know' what set. She peers into the bag, forgotten what she had in there, only then to shove the bag back into the depths of the wardrobe. No way! I wouldn't be seen dead in that. How embarrassing if Yugi saw me in that. Wait. Why would he see me in that anyway?! Let alone in my underwear! Ugh, enough Anzu! Fed up arguing with herself, she quickly gets ready.

Once she'd put her outfit together, she viewed herself in the mirror. Trying different poses, she began to regret her choice. Maybe shorts would've been better… She then glances at her clock, 10:59am. "Oh my god! He'll be here any minute! No time to worry about changing. Now, where did I put my keys…?" She finds her keys, somehow placed inside her pillow case. "Bag, bag, bag…oh here."

"Anzu!" Her mother shouted to her from the bathroom. "Are you expecting someone? I heard the door knock."

Ahh! He's here! Okay, breathe Anzu. "Yes mother! I'm spending the day with a friend! I'll see you later!"

"Oh okay, darling! Have fun!"

Anzu's legs were like jelly as she slowly made her way down the stairs. You could say the tension level was relatively high at this point. Reaching the last step, her beating heart began to race. She clutches her chest and walks to the front door. Thump…thump. Slowly, she reaches for the handle and opens the door.

There he was. Greeting her with a smile. Anzu felt like she was going to have a heart attack at any moment. "Good morning," he greets her, "y-you look lovely."

Anzu struggled to reply. "I-I umm…m-morning…t-thank you." She felt her face become warm with embarrassment. Also, she noticed that Yugi had gone with a black denim shirt underneath his default blue jacket. She was trying not to go crazy about the fact that they both went with denim.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Yugi queries her.

She shakes her head. "No. You're right on time."

"Shall we get going? I was thinking the cinema first…but if you don't want to we can…"

She stops him by waving her arms up in front of him. "No, that's fine. A movie sounds good."

"Are you feeling all right Anzu? You seem a little tense."

Anzu relaxes slightly. "Just nervous I guess…it's our first date after all."

"O-oh right…I'm a bit nervous too." He says whilst scratching the back of his head. They both stood there quietly, briefly, until Yugi spoke again. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah," she replies and they both head towards the cinema.

The walk there seemed to last ages, Anzu thought. She desperately tried to slow down her heart rate, by breathing more steadily. Who knew that being with someone you like could have this much effect. It felt like, the feeling you get when you drop down quickly from a tall rollercoaster.

Yugi looked at Anzu, who was avoiding his gaze. She was clutching her handbag tightly. He found her bashfulness to be rather cute and somewhat amusing to him. It's the first time he's seen Anzu this exposed. Usually, she would show a strong face around everyone. Seems she does have a girlie side to her.

They both arrive at the cinema. Luckily to them, it was pretty quiet. Yugi held the door open for Anzu. She steadily walks inside, thanking Yugi as she walked past him. They both go up and view the screens that listed the movies displaying today. "What movie do you want to see?" Yugi asks her.

"Umm…let me think…" She ponders. She skims the movie titles under the different categories. Avoiding the romance movies all together. Not so much that she hated the genre, but more in the sense that she'll feel awkward throughout the entire movie. I mean think about, you're with your companion and then all of a sudden one of those naughty scenes come on. Next thing know, all sorts of dirty thoughts flood to your head…

"Anzu?" Yugi snaps her out of her thoughts.

"Huh?" She looks at him.

"Have you decided on a movie?" Anzu immediately and randomly points to one of the movies in the action genre. It was about a battle between humans and invading robots. "That one? You sure…? Wouldn't you rather see a romantic comedy?"

"No!" She abruptly blurts out, which causes Yugi to be startled a little. Realising she shouted that out, she quickly apologies, for her dramatic reaction. "I'm sorry. It's just…I was hoping to see this one, you know. I saw it advertised and it looked really interesting. Sorry again…" Now he hates me. Well done Anzu. Let your crazy emotions get the best of you. I seriously need to calm down already.

"That's okay," he reassures her, "This movie's fine. I was kind of hoping to see this one too." Great. That's what happens when you try and be romantic Yugi. She must've thought I was going to do something to her.

They both go to the ticket booth. Anzu places her hands on her hips. "Don't even think about paying for me. I can pay my share." She grabs her purse and hands Yugi her money.

Yugi sweat drops and doesn't argue with her. "Do you want popcorn?" He asks.

"Yes please."

Yugi holds onto the tickets for the both of them, whilst Anzu held their popcorn. They then head towards their screen number room.

They go into the room, seeing that it was almost empty, apart from the odd family and couple. "Where do you want to sit?" Yugi asks, as they make their way down the steps.

Anywhere but the back. "Anywhere in the middle is fine." Yugi leads the two of them down the aisle. When he thought that they were close to the middle enough, he went down the row of seats and sat down in the middle, followed by Anzu. Once seated, Yugi offers to hold the popcorn for the two of them. The movie wasn't scheduled to start for another 10 minutes.

"You feeling okay, Anzu?" Yugi turns to look at her.

She smiles at him. "Yeah. I always feel good when I'm around you. What about you?"

Yugi blushed slightly. "I'm okay. I'm glad that we're together."

"Me too." Anzu then holds Yugi's hand. Unexpectedly, Yugi kisses the top of her hand, causing Anzu to go pink. "A-ah u-umm…"

Yugi looks at her and let's go of her palm, feeling as if he's done something wrong. "S-sorry. I don't know what came over me."

"N-no it's f-fine. I-I was j-just surprised." Yugi averts his eyes to the screen. Anzu wondered if she'd upset him. Why is this so difficult? He just kissed your hand!

At that point, the screen began showing advisements.

It took another 10 minutes before the movie actually started. At present, the movie was about half way in. The scene featured the main protagonist investigating one of the robot's undercover bases, which had been located underground.

The two of them had already finished their popcorn, and they've kept quiet so far. Occasionally, Anzu would glance at Yugi. She admired him a lot. "Yugi…"

"Did you say something?" He looks at her.

"Oh no. I was just um…well um…it's nothing." She quickly looks back at the screen.

The movie finished, about 30 minutes later. The two exit the cinema. "Did you like it?" Yugi asks her.

"Yeah, it was good. Better than I thought. Did you like it?"

"Yes, it was interesting." Just then, Yugi's stomach started rumbling. He blushes as Anzu began giggling.

"I'm hungry too," she admits, "let's get some lunch."

They both settle for hoisin wraps. They decide to go to the park to eat. Sitting down on one of the benches, Anzu immediately begins eating. "This is delicious," she says satisfied. Yugi then takes a bite out of his wrap.

"You're right. It is good," he agrees. "Is there anywhere in particular you want to go next?"

Anzu places her finger on her chin and thinks. "Hmmm…the arcade sounds good. I haven't been there in a while." She then smiles and looks at him. "Though most likely you'll beat me at every game."

He frowns at her slightly. "Don't put yourself down like that. You don't know until you try."

"I suppose…actually…there's something I've been wanting to ask you…"

Yugi tilts his head a fraction. "What is it?"

"I wanted to ask…if you can teach me more about duel monsters. I really want to get better at it. Seeing you and Jonouchi duel, made me want to duel. But…I won't stand a chance against anyone at the way I am now." She looks at Yugi, who had been patiently listening.

He smiles. "Of course I'll teach you more about duel monsters. I would like to have a proper duel with you one day."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Thank you so much! I hope that one day I'll become your…" She gasps and quickly covers her mouth, with her free hand. I nearly said that out loud!

Yugi raises an eyebrow. "What were you going to say?"

"O-oh it's nothing," she quickly changes the topic, "come on. I've nearly finished eating, so let's make our way to the arcade." She stands up and begins walking, leaving Yugi wondering what she was going to say. He decides to brush it off for time being, and gets up to go and join her.

"Oh wow! They've expanded," Yugi explains. Upon arrival, he sees that there is more spatial area, but there has also been more arcade machines added. "What did you want to play on first?"

"Oh, um. I don't really mind. You lead the way."

Yugi walks up to one of the multiplayer, first person shooter games. "How about this one? We can be on the same team."

"Okay. Do you know how to play?"

"I don't…guess we'll have to find out."

The gameplay was simple. Escape the haunted mansion. For the first minute, nothing had been happening. Just them trying doors to see if they were unlocked.

"I'm kind of waiting for something to jump out at me," Anzu says. She was currently leading. She finds an unlocked door. Heading out from it, she is welcomed by a swarm of spiders. "Oh my god, they're everywhere! I hate spiders!" She continuously holds down the trigger button. Yugi found himself laughing. "What's so funny?"

"You going mad," he admits, and his character joins her in the room with the spiders.

It took them three attempts to escape the mansion. "That took way too long…"

"At least we did it." The two leave the machine to go and find something else to play. As they were observing some of the other players, Anzu noticed a crane machine, consisting of cute plushies. Her woman instincts kicked in and she finds herself in front of the machine. Yugi sees that Anzu has left his side. He looks around and finds her staring at one of the crane machines.

He goes and joins her. He sees that her eyes were all wide. "I want one of them…" she says playfully. She takes out some of her coins. "I'm going to get one!"

Five minutes later, Anzu was sitting on the floor, with her head in her knees. Yugi leaned down next to her. "I'll try and get you one." She turns her head to look at him, giving him a pouty look. She's so cute.

Yugi takes his coins and place's them into the machine. "Winner!" The machine announces. Anzu straight away gets up and turns to look at Yugi. She was surprised to find that not only had he won, but he was holding two plushies. He had an alpaca plushie and a panda plushie. Yugi hands them both to her. "Told you I'd get you one," he says with a smile.

Anzu shakes her head. "I can't have both of them. I'll take the alpaca." She then takes it from him. "Aww it's so cute. T-thank you…"

"You're welcome," he says shyly.

After another hour of playing in the arcade, the two decide to call it a day. Yugi was now walking Anzu back to her house. "Today was so much fun," Anzu says. She holds her plushie in front of her, to get a good look at it. "Thank you again for getting me this."

"It's no problem. Besides, I got one too."

"Yugi…" Anzu stops walking.

He stops too. "Yes?"

She didn't reply, but instead she held her alpaca close to her chest. Yugi turns his body around to face hers. "Anzu? What…" He stopped and gazed into her eyes. She stepped closer to him, but not quite touching each other. Yugi's eyes enlarged and he felt his face become warm.

Anzu bit her lip. She then began to lean closer to him. Yugi didn't catch on straight away, but realised what she wanted to do. He too began to lean closer to her. He tilted his head up slightly and focused on her lips.

"Well, what have we here?" Came a voice not too far from them.

The two immediately flinch back from each other, blushing. They turn to see who had interrupted them. It was…

"I've been looking now for a while to find you, so called king of games."

"Kaiba?"
