Wow, thanks people for reviewing, 48 reviews is a LOT, well by my standards anyway. Thanks to all those who have reviewed and so, here's chapter 4.
The day past and Anzu became more and more distant from Yuugi, Yami, Katsuya and Hiroto. She spent lunch break by herself in a tree and after that was the end of school, she walked out putting her hands in her jacket pocket for the first time that day. On feeling something in her right pocket she took hold of it with her hand and removed it from its hiding place.
"A duel monsters deck," she whispered, she'd heard of the ever increasingly popular cards when she was six. She'd begged her mom to buy her a deck or give her the money to but she'd never been allowed. Shuffling through the deck she saw cards that she had expected, we're talking about and friendship preacher here, and where would a friendship preacher be without the 'Shining Friendship' card, hm? "Maybe and I can cash these in at the second hand shop" she sneered in disgust replacing the offending deck in her pocket and dashing home.
-Flash-
"Hey Anzu dear," called Anzu's father from the base of the stairs. Some muffled sounds were heard from said area before a six-year-old girl came tumbling down the stairs. Instead of crying like most little children do at that age she merely picked herself up and dusted down her small jeans. "Don't tell ya mother I got ya this," he said handing her two Duel Monsters packets, each containing ten cards.
Anzu's eyes went wide with joy, like they rarely ever did. And when they did it only around her parents or in the seclusion of her room. "Oh thanks dad," she cried giving him a hug, or rather squeezing his leg due to her petite six. Her father smiled and nodded and with that Anzu dashed up the stairs. Soon after her mom came up and Anzu was unable to open the packets, throwing them hastily into one of her draws and ruffling everything up so as not to cause suspicion she dashed out to meet her mum.
"Anzu darling, dinner," Anzu nodded and came back down but over dinner she forgot about her cards completely.
-Flash-
"I wander if they're still there, I mean that cheerleader was so messy she probably never tidied that draw. After all, it was the day after that that I lost my memory," these out loud thoughts brightened her spirits and caused her to run faster until she was sprinting.
Arriving home she unlocked the door hastily, fumbling with the key in her haste. Dashing indoors she threw off her shoes as she closed the door behind her and immediately ran upstairs. Throwing upon the draw she began to rummage hastily until she pulled out two, unopened Duel Monster packs, both in mint condition with not a scratch nor a bend on them.
Placing them on her easy desktop she began to tidy the room, from the mess of a cheerleader to the clean of a…what, a fighter? No just Anzu. You'd think it the other way round wouldn't you, but it seems are Anzu is different and one that likes privacy. Therefore she must keep things tidy or someone will have to come and clean and she would have no privacy. But are story is not about Anzu's cleaning but about Anzu so let's get back to the picture.
Walking back over to her desk she sat down in her chair and opened the packets. She'd just finished going through the assortment of twenty cards when she heard the doorbell ringing. Placing the cards on her bed she left for downstairs to answer the door. But since she was out of the room she didn't see the small flash of light that illuminated the room. She didn't see a new card materialize from thin air, that card 'Changing Covers'…
Anzu dashed down the stairs and ran to the door, almost tripping over in her haste. Slowing down she managed to catch her breath before undoing the lock and letting the person in. It was actually quit a few people, Seto, Mokuba, Ryou, Bakura, Maric and Mali, "Hey guys, what's up?" asked letting them in.
"Can't we say hello?" Seto asked grinning.
"I don't know, can you?" she asked smirking at him, Mokuba laughed quietly. Bakura, Malik and Maric however rolled their eyes and Ryou looked at the floor.
"Come on guys, be serious, I want o know what you came here for," Anzu said seriously, Bakura just whispered something in Ryou's ear (NOT YAOI), Ryou nodded and taking holds of Mokuba's hand bid the group farewell.
"It's these," said Malik, fishing his deck out of his pocket as Bakura and Seto did the same. Maric looked completely confused, he had no idea why his Yami had dragged him along instead of letting him go with Ryou (NOT YAOI) and have some fun (NOT HENTAI).
Anzu looked thoroughly confused as the three boys each held out a different card, "So what, they're Duel Monsters cards, what's this got to do with me?"
"These three cards were not in our decks and a few minutes after school let out our decks glowed," Bakura explained.
"Em hm, and these are what we found," Bakura explained as Anzu took the three cards and looked at them. Malik's had been 'Seeker of New Things', Bakura's had been, 'Hidden Sided,' and Seto's had been, 'Stranded Decision Maker.' None of which had a description of any sort, not even in another language, the only way you could tell they were Dual Monster cards was by the backing.
"I've never seen them before in my life, honestly, but still what's this got to do with me?" she was still slightly confused as she scanned the three cards warily encase she had mist something, something vital. She had, but she didn't know it, the clue was in the names but could she figure it out before…that is what this story will tell.
"They appeared the day you changed so we jut thought there might be some kind of link," Seto said, Anzu nodded.
"Makes sense but I can't think of anything that I've done or can do that would cause you to gain unknown cards," little did she know she too had one, the one that lay on her bed right now, 'Changing Covers'. "I'll see if I can find out anything and I'll tell you if I do, kay," she said looking up grinning. The three nodded and bid her goodnight, taking back their cards and walking out the door. Leaving a thoroughly confused Anzu behind them.
Okay, so that's that chapter over with. I'm sorry about the shortness so I'll try and make the next chappie longer, kay! ^_^ Anyway, what are these cards and what have they got to do with anything, will they figure it out before...
