Me:WOOOOHHHHH ANOTHER UPDATE! And a surprise guest!
Hiro:Hey, what's up
Me:Hiro! *hugs him* I haven't seen you in forever!
Hiro:I know, I know. I was at college doing college stuff. I'm in this chapter for my sisters graduation
Me:Awww you gave the plot for this chapter away. Alas, I don't own Yugioh or its characters. Elecktra belongs to Sorceress of the Nile. No flames, but everything else is appreciated.
"Hey Anzu!"
Anzu turned around to see a familiar face in the door way. Her eyes lit up when Hiro stepped into the room. The two siblings embraced and Anzu looked up at him. "Hiro! I thought you weren't coming till next week?"
Hiro laughed. "And miss my baby sister's graduation? No way!" He patted Anzu's head and looked at her white graduation gown. A bittersweet feeling filled his chest. It seemed like only yesterday they were heading to elementry school. Miku walked in with a camera, Arashi following close behind her. She snapped a picture of Anzu and beamed. "My baby girl is graduating already! And tomorrow is her senior dance at the studio."
Anzu blushed. "Mom, I'm not a baby."
Arashi kissed her forehead. "You'll always be our baby. Wow, is it the time already?"
Anzu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't father's supposed to say that on their daughters wedding day?"
Arashi shook his head, trying to block out the image. "Noo! Don't put that image in my head. You're already going to Julliard and that's in America!" Everyone laughed and then Hiro looked at the clock, noticing the time. "Guys, it's time to go, the ceremony starts in an hour!"
Anzu smiled and followed them out the room, carrying her old school uniform in her hands. A sad feeling grew in her chest. She was leaving school and heading out into the real world. Wow, the time seemed to go by quickly.
...
"Anzu!"
Anzu turned arond to see Elecktra, Yuugi, Jounouchi, and Hiroto run towards her. Ryou was off talking with his girl friend, Miho, but he waved at her when he saw he come in. Anzu smiled. She was happy that Ryou was happy now. A hand took hers and Anzu turned around to see Bakura there. She smiled and kissed him. He smirked at her and warpped his arms around her waist. Elecktra smirked. "Do your making out later, not hear please."
All of them laughed. Bakura had enrolled here at the end of the year. He would be graduating with them, since Ryou had lied to the administration saying Bakura was his twin brother and had been homeschooled for his life due to anger issues. Part of it wasn't a lie, Bakura did had anger issues. Elecktra put her hands behind her head. "Wow, can you guys believe it? We finished highschool!"
Yuugi laughed. "I know and I grew."
Everyone stared at the short boy. Yuugi frowned and looked dismayed. "Only two inches though. I'm now 5'0."
Anzu laughed and patted him on the back. "Good job Yuugi. At least you grew a little. But I'm still taller than you."
"Darn it!"
Everyone laughed. They stop laughing however when a voice came over the intercom. "Attention Graduates, please head to the gym right now."
Anzu took her friends by the hands. "This is it guys! The final moment before we go our seperate ways for a while."
Hiroto nodded. "Let's not think about that. Let's think about summer break first."
Jounouchi nodded. "I agree. I'm moving in with Mai over the summer. And helping Shizuka prepare for her first year of highschool."
"I'll help with Shizuka," Hiroto said, much to Jounouchi's annoyance. "I'm heading into engineering and thinking about starting an auto buisness."
Anzu turned to Yuugi. "What about you Yuugi? What do you plan to do?"
Yuugi thought. "I'm going to duel. Dueling is my passion and I'm going to own Grandpa's game shop. He's getting old, and I have always wanted to run it, so I guess it all worked out." Everyone nodded and Elecktra spoke up. "I'm moving in with Marik. He owns his own buinesse, so we're alright. I'm helping Ishizu over the summer at the museam."
Yuugi turned to Anzu. "What about you Anzu?"
Anzu smiled. "I got accepted into Julliard and I'm going to buisness classes as well. It's in America, but I'll keep in touch. And don't worry, " she added, seeing the worried looks on their faces. "Bakura's coming with me."
Everyone smiled and then left to go get in their order for the diploma line. Their principle stood on the podium, adressing the crowd who had come to see their children, grand children, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, or anything else graduate. He smiled at them.
"Fellow graduates, I thank you for your time here. I know each and everyone one of you worked very hard to get to this moment. It seems like only yesterday, you were a bunch of rowdy and immature freshment. But now you stand before this podium, adults and heading out into the real world. I have one bit of advice for you. Make mistakes, fall in love, do what your heart wants to do, because in the end, it will all lead up to the moment when all your dreams come true. Don't be afraid to go the distance and in a book I had read a long time ago, there was a saying I had found. 'Step follows step, hope follows courage, set your face towards danger, set your heart on victory.'"
By the time everyone had their diplomas, Jounouchi went over to Kaiba threw his arm around him with a grin. "YEAH! WE DID IT! LETS THROW OUR CAPS IN THE AIR!"
Kaiba gave him a distasteful look. "Remove your arm from me."
Everyone ignored him though and threw their caps in the air, ready to face whatever the future threw them.
...
"Anzu, are you ready? Your solo is in 2 minutes?"
Anzu nodded and stepped towards the back stage. The dancing class of preschoolers had just finished their dance. As they filed out, they stayed back and watched Anzu's dance with hopful looks, wanting to be just like her when she was older.
Anzu went onto the stage, her shoes were like little toe underwear, for her solo dance was for modern class. She started out on the floor, her face to her right knee and her eyes closed.
"In a moment, everything can change,"
"Feel the wind on your shoulder,"
"For a minute, all the world can wait,"
"Let go of your yesterday."
"Can you hear it calling?"
"Can you feel it in your soul?"
"Can you trust this longing?"
"And take control!"
"Fly Open up the part of you that wants to fly away!"
"You can shine! Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,"
"And start to try, cause it's your time, time to fly!"
Anzu lept across the stage, doing complicated movements with her body. Bending and twisting at a fast pace. She felt adrenaline rush through her and she smiled as she felt raw power rush through her. The audinece watched in awe. Had this girl only been dancing for only a few years? This girl had raw talent, that was for sure. Anzu ended her song on the floor, as if she had just fallen. The audience stood up from their seats, whistleing and cheering loudly. Anzu smiled, this was the moment she had wanted.
She looked in the audience to see her family, her friends, her boyfriend, and a face she hadn't seen in a while. Antheia, her past mother, was watching her with a joyful smile on her face.
...
3 monthes later
"Do you have everything you need Anzu?" Miku asked as Anzu and Bakura stood at the airport. Anzu nodded, holding Bakura's hand. Arashi didn't really want Bakura to go with her, but at least she wouldn't be alone in a different country. Plus, Anzu said she would wait till marriage.
Anzu gave her mom a hug. "I have everything I need." The 19 year old said. Her luggage was already in the plane, and it was a few minutes before take off. Anzu turned to her father and hugged him. Hiro had gone back to college for his third year, but he had told her good bye last week. Elecktra gave her friend a hug and then turned to Bakura. "No funny buisnesse. If she comes back pregnant, I'll castrate you."
Bakura scowled at her. "I already promised her father that. I'm not promising you."
Yuugi laughed and he gave Anzu a hug, followed by Jounouchi and Hiroto. Anzu gave them one last smile before she and Bakura waved good bye to them from the window of their plane. Ready for what the future had in store for them. She was happy to know that Bakura hadn't let go of her hand. Not once.
Me:Yeah yeah boring chapter. But there's only 2 or 1 chapter left. Review and I'll update!
