"Well this should be an interesting pastime," she said aloud to herself as she slowly ascended the stairs. The remainder of the week passed reasonably uneventfully as far as events go. The object of the four cards was dropped until it came to the weakened. It was declared that a duel monsters competition was to be held at the local stadium and that the prize money was 20,000,000 yen and a duel with Seto Kaiba himself.

Anzu didn't really care about whether she beet Seto or not but since her mother died she had to have a part time job in order to get some extra money besides what her mother left her and what she was being given my the council. She was in it for the money, but so she could live off of it not because she was elfish and wanted nice furnishings. Even though she was planning on redecorating her 'pink' room as soon as was humanly, and financially, possible.

She grinned and headed of to sign up at the stadium, she had already gotten a new deck but she hadn't told anybody else that, she was gonna leave it as a surprise. When she arrived at the stadium she had just finished signing the entry list when she spotted Yami Muto and Katsuya Jounouchi listed there also. She smirked at the prospect of being able to show them her new deck, especially in a duel.

The tournament wasn't until next weekend, inputs ended Sunday afternoon and Anzu guessed they were going to use the rest of the week to sort out the order of the duels. Not surprising that they needed that long. A tournament with that much prize money and the World Champion title on the line was going to be a big one in deed.

Wondering back home she entered her house just in time to hear the phone start ringing, slipping her shoes off she walked over to the phone and picked it up. Fingers toying absentmindedly with the curled cord that easily wrapped around her slender fingers.

"Moshi, moshi, Mazaki residents," Anzu called down the communication device.

"Hey Anzu."

"Seto-kun, how's it going?" she asked, besides her detaching from Yami, Yuugi and co. she had also become part of another group. This group consisted of herself, Seto, Bakura, Maric, Malik and Shizuka.

"Fine, I just wanted to know if you wanted to come over for a sleep over, I have yet to call Bakura but everyone else has agreed," Anzu smiled at the offer and grinned.

"Sure I'll come," it was only eleven in the morning and it was sunny so the group had the whole afternoon to spend together, not a problem with herself for she had nothing else planned.

"Okay, just remember to bring a swim suit and night cloths kay," Anzu nodded and said goodbye dashing up her stairs to pack. Pulling out a blue duffel bag she placed in it a pair of loose shorts and a long t-shirt that reached half way down her thighs. The t-shirt was white on which in silver writing was written the words 'Angel now' and then below that in black lettering 'Devil later!'

She also went to the bathroom and placed a toothbrush, toothpaste and a hairbrush in a small blue bathroom bag and went back to her room, chucking it in with her night ware. Rummaging through her draws she wasn't at all surprised to find she didn't have a swim suit, 'Bet the cheerleader never learned how to swim, gees, was that part of my life an embarrassment or what?' she silently asked herself. Packing everything else she thought she might need she decided to stop by at the mall and buy a new swim suit before going to Kaiba's.

At the mall Anzu was just browsing through the swim wear when a reddish brown haired girl came into view, the hair was long, about waist length and turquoise eyes. "Hey Shizuka-chan, you getting a swim costume too?" Anzu asked, Shizuka visibly jumped and her head snapped up. She breathed a sigh of relief on seeing the brown haired, blue eyed, slightly taller girl.

"Oh Anzu-chan, you gave me such a scare, but yes, I am," she replied smiling on the last note.

Anzu grinned, "I think you ought to consider an aqua coloured one myself," Anzu said looking her friend up and down. In return Shizuka did the same coming to her own conclusions.

"Silver and lilac think," was her reply, nodding.

"Hey, how about I look for an aqua one for you and you look for a lilac and silver one for me kay?" Anzu asked grinning, Shizuka nodded happily and ended with, 'sure'.

With that the two separated and rejoined each other at the changing rooms about seven minutes later. Anzu had with her a one-strap swimsuit, aqua in colour with a line of bubbles running up the back. On the front was a blue finned mermaid with icy blue hair that covered her bare chest.

Shizuka held a bikini with no strips, the actually thing was silver with lilac borders on every possible place where you could put a border. The silver sparkled, as did the lilac, also there was a lilac bow on the front of the bikini top, also sparkling.

"Well what do you think," Shizuka asked emerging from one of the dressing rooms, blushing all the while.

"I think you look splendid," Anzu cried in delight, she may be a fighter at school but she was a girl for crying out loud, just not a pink loving, boy-crazy, shopping fanatic one.

"Now you try yours," Shizuka said going back in to change back into her civilian cloths. Anzu nodded without reply and went in to get changed. She met with similar praise when she emerged and both went to the counter to purchase their separate goods. Once done the two girls headed off to the Kaiba mansion, both talking away about several different things.
