Tangles of One's Heart: Chapter One
It took Yami Yugi a moment to realize what his aibou meant. *He's afraid that Anzu will reject him and not be his friend anymore.*
"Yuugi, Anzu will be your friend no matter what she answers. Now go on and call her." Yami Yugi answered.
Yuugi was surprised at the least.
"I don't know Yami…" Yuugi trailed off.
"Aibou, Anzu has been your friend for a long time. This is no harm in trying. She may like you too." Yami Yugi spoke.
"What about you Yami? Do you like her?" Yuugi asked.
The question threw Yami Yuugi off guard. He had not really thought about it before. The former pharaoh paused before he looked in his light's violet eyes.
"Yuugi, Anzu has been only been a friend to me. My feelings do not go beyond that." Yami Yugi answered.
Yuugi wondered if he should ask more about his feelings for Anzu, but decided against it. *He told me that he considers Anzu just a friend and nothing more. I trust his judgment.*
"You are right Yami, I can do this." Yuugi said, reaching for the phone. He slowly began to dial Anzu's number.
~oo00oo~
Chocolate eyes scanned the page that they were writing. Ryou brushed his bangs of his white hair aside and paused to think of something.
"Now let's see, how do I…"
// What are you doing? // His yami interrupted.
/ Nothing important yami. /
// I'm sure my light, why can I feel your emotions through our link? I'm coming out. //
/ WHAT?! Yami!!!! /
A flash emitted from the Millennium Ring and Bakura appeared beside Ryou. Bakura peered over his hikari's shoulder to see that Ryou was writing something. He grabbed the paper off the desk and prepared to read it. Ryou emitted a gasp and found Bakura with the piece of paper.
"Give it back! That is my private thoughts and you can't read it!!" Ryou exclaimed.
Bakura smirked and continued to scan it. This caused Ryou to grab the paper from his yami's hands.
"You can't read this Bakura! it's PRIVATE!!" Ryou said.
"And why not Ryou? We are connected." Bakura said.
After the events in Battle City, Bakura had finally realized how much he made Ryou suffer and became nicer towards him. The spirit did his best to be nice to the pharaoh, but they always bickered with each other. With Yuugi's friends, Bakura tried also to be nicer to them; they accepted him a bit, but not fully. Bakura had accepted this fact and Kaiba; well he did not bother with him.
"That's not the point Bakura! It is only mine to read, other people can't read them!!" Ryou cried.
"From what I read, it appears that you like someone." Bakura smiled.
Ryou turned a bit pink before crossing his arms.
"I don't like anyone!" Ryou muttered.
"Then why did you blush?" Bakura inquired.
Ryou opened his mouth to protest, but abruptly closed it. Bakura saw this and smirked.
"Spit it out hikari, who is the lucky one?" he stated.
His hikari muttered something incoherent.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you." Bakura said.
Ryou's chocolate eyes fixed on his yami's gaze.
"I said Anzu." he replied.
The Spirit of the Ring laughed at this. *He said that he liked Anzu.* Bakura stopped laughing when he realized something.
"WHAT?! Her!?" he cried.
Seeing how his yami reacted, Ryou headed for the door. Bakura watched his light and he cursed in Egyptian.
"Ryou…don't go…" Bakura spoke softly.
Ryou paused at the door and turned.
"I…" It was hard for him to say this. "I didn't mean it that way Ryou. I'm just surprised that you like her and her annoying friendship speeches." Bakura said.
"You're forgiven yami. I don't think that I can tell her how I feel about her." Ryou spoke.
"Why not?" his yami asked.
"If you have forgotten, Yuugi has a small crush on Anzu." Ryou responded.
~oo00oo~
The phone rang at the Mazaki residence and Anzu's mom picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is Anzu there?"
"Who is this?"
"Yuugi Mutou."
"Nice to hear from you. Let me call her down."
"Alright."
Anzu's mom covered the phone with her hand and yelled, "ANZU, YUUGI IS ON THE PHONE!!"
A few moments passed and no answer. Her mom frowned and uncovered her hand.
"Anzu must have her door closed. I will be right back with her."
"Okay."
Anzu's mom set the phone down on the counter and went upstairs to her daughter's room. Upon entering, she saw no sign of Anzu. Her eyes noticed something on the bed and the floor. On closer inspection, it turned out be ashes. *Ashes? How did they get in here…?* She looked around the room and the only thing missing was her Duel Monsters deck. She thought maybe Anzu went out and that she would call later. Returning to the kitchen, she picked up the phone.
"I'm sorry. Anzu must be out right now. I'll have her call you when she returns."
"Thank you." Yuugi hung up the phone.
"Well?" Yami Yugi asked.
"Her mom said Anzu isn't there right now. She will have her call me." Yuugi answered, a bit disappointed.
"Don't worry aibou; she probably had to do something." Yami Yugi soothed.
"Of course Yami." Yuugi responded. However, his heart did not agree.
~oo00oo~
Bakura seemed to blink before he remembered. *That's right the pharaoh's light seems to blush slightly when he is near her. How could I forget that?*
"No problem my light. How about I stalk her, then kidnap her and bring her here so you can tell her?" Bakura grinned.
Ryou stared at his yami if he were crazy.
"You serious about that?" he asked.
"Hell no! There is no way I would go near her who keeps ranting on about friendship!!" Bakura muttered.
"That's what I thought." Ryou mused.
"How about you…" *Why the hell was he suggesting this!* "You go over to the pharaoh's and talk to his light." Bakura finished.
"I-I can't do that! I will lose my friendship with Yuugi and his yami will be mad with me!!" Ryou stammered.
"Humph. If you won't do it, I will." Bakura declared, heading for the door.
Ryou got a bad feeling. His yami + Yami Yugi = disaster. He knew that would be not a pretty site. On the other hand, he had to stop him and keep this a secret.
"Bakura, wait!" Ryou called out.
Bakura stopped at the door.
"What? You don't want me to go over to the pharaoh's?" he asked.
"No. I want to keep this a secret from Yuugi. Yami, please?" Ryou answered, giving his puppy-dog look.
Bakura cursed whoever invented the puppy-dog look and came over.
"Fine, I will not tell the pharaoh and his light. Don't keep this secret forever Ryou. It may cause more pain later." he said and vanished in the Ring.
*What does Bakura mean it will hurt more if I tell Yuugi later?* Ryou pondered. He returned to his desk and stared at the piece of paper.
