The Game of Love #2

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh though Yuugi is 'mine' (I own his love, that's all!) and I don't own the song 'The Great Beyond', REM does.

Author's Note: Okay. Really short and really weird chapter that doesn't make any sense! Oh well, it's kinda an interlude into the main focus of the story. Yuugi and Jou have a mano y mano (which in Spanish technically means hand and hand, but in slang it means man to man) talk. While they're talking, Anzu and Miho have a conversation about Yuugi and Anzu wonders about her feelings for him. *Note that some things may not be accurate, but please don't flame because I'm really new to this anime, though I LUV MY YUUGI!* *Hugs Yuugi and waves* R and R!

The Game of Love

Chapter 2: Anzu's Confusion

By Eternal Moonbeam

The Game Master had done it again. Seto Kaiba threw down his cards in disgust.

"I'll get you next time," Seto snarled. Yuugi just smiled in his sinister way. Anzu hung on his arm, praising him. Yuugi felt like he was in heaven.

Later on, Yuugi was sitting in front of the Turtle Game shop*, his regular self again. Jou came and sat next to him.

"Well, Yuugi-kun," Jou had a mischievous look on his face. "She said no."

"NE?" Yuugi jumped up and screeched. "WHY?"

"I'm kidding, Yuugi-kun. She said yes," Jou chuckled as his smaller companion began battering on his head.

"Don't EVER kid me like that!" Yuugi snapped.

"Okay! OKAY! You're picking Anzu tomorrow night at seven. She wants to go see Pokémon 3 the movie!" Jou winked.

"WHAT? She's a sophomore and she wants to go see Pokémon?" Yuugi stared at Jou in disbelief.

"Im kidding you again! Jeez Yuugi-kun, you're so gullible!" Jou laughed. "She wants to see Hannibal or something."

Yuugi sweatdropped. "Why?"

"Probably so she can hang on you during the scary parts!" Jou chuckled. "Man, I'm getting side stitch from laughing. I gotta get home and finish my homework."

"We can work on our homework at my house," Yuugi said. "C'mon."

"Okay. Okaasan doesn't care where I go anyway," Jou followed Yuugi into the gaming shop and up into the house.

Meanwhile, Anzu was walking with Miho and the two friends were chatting.

"So, Anzu-chan, I heard you and Yuugi are going out," Miho said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, isn't it great? Yuugi's such a cute little guy," Anzu said, grinning. Miho's face fell.

"Whaddaya mean, 'little guy'? Yuugi is supposed to be the love of your life, right? Hello in there," Miho said.

"Well, I can never think of Yuugi as more than the cute little guy who's one of my best friends, that's all. But the Game Master side of Yuugi is a different story. I mean, he's so masculine, and suave, and cool, and he's just plain awesome!" Anzu explained. "But normal Yuugi is just, well, Yuugi."

Miho grinned. "Well, it's a good thing Honda's like the Game Master all the time!"

"Yeah," Anzu clutched her books tighter. "I guess." The wind ruffled her brown hair and she thought of Yuugi.

I've watched the stars fall silent

From your eyes

All the sights that I have seen

I can't believe that I believed

I wished that you could see

There's another planet in the solar system

There is nothing up my sleeve

"I need answers," Anzu whispered. "Why do I feel this way about you yet I don't?"

I'm breaking through

I'm bending spoons

I'm keeping flowers in full bloom

I'm looking for answers from the great beyond…

Answers never come for free…

*- I'm not quite sure what Yuugi's Jii-chan's shop's name is, but I'm sure it's Turtle something.

Okay. This was a really weird chapter but I wanted to get the second chap up. Sorry it's short, but I'm kinda in a hurry to finish this!
