Jeez that took long. -_-. Sorry but I got a new computer twice. My old computer got a virus and deleted all my files. Same with my first new computer. It wasn't until my second new one did it protect my info against the virus. I should kill who ever gave me that virus. -_-.
^^ Anyway, on with the story. Yugioh does not belong to me. It belongs to Kazuki Takahashi. And don't you dare sue me, I'll kick you where it hurts if you do! ~_~

Chapter Two
Orange, the color of Surprise
****
Anzu sighed. She had just gotten home from a busy day at school. Thank goodness it was Friday. Siting down at her desk, she turned on the Shining Friendship lamp and started on her homework.
Hours passed by as the stack of paper on Anzu's desk began to shrink. Looking at her calendar, she noticed that she had to go to the hospital tomorrow. Now that she thought about it, a week had passed since her meeting with Kaiba. His bandages should be off by now. Finishing her last worksheet, she stood up, after closing her math textbook. She walked out of her room and into the living room.
As she entered, Anzu thought about how her parents thought that Anzu should 'get a taste of real life' when she turned seventeen. Not only did they send her to her own apartment (which they paid the rent); Anzu also had to get a job for food and other necessaries. Even though she did enjoy the solitude, she did get lonely.
Deciding that her thoughts were getting no where, the brown haired girl slouched on the blue sofa and turned on the radio. Anzu was glad that a soft song was on, she needed peace. Closing her sapphire eyes, Anzu relaxed to the melody of the song.
yume wo mite'ta no
utsukushiku
nagai yume
(stop
I was dreaming:
a beautiful,
eternal dream... )
Anzu opened her eyes, staring at the white ceiling. Her thoughts slowly drift towards Yami. Hmm....I wonder what's he doing…
fukaku shizuka ni
kanashimi wo
nemurasete
(stop
...putting sadness
into a deep, quiet
sleep. )
Then for some stupid reason, Anzu also started thinking about Seto Kaiba. She noticed how he and Yami seemed to have so much in common. They both are champions are Duel Monsters and they both love they brother/aibou more than life. Not to mention they both were super rich (Seto is CEO of KaibaCorps and Yami ruled as pharaoh.) It kind of made sense since Seto was Yami's cousin in ancient Egypt. The only difference was that Yami had a kind heart while Seto had one made of stone-hard ice.
yurete'ta nara
shiawase datta hazu demo
(If you were touched
by kindness,
you must have been happy, but)
Sighing, Anzu decided that she should think of something else instead. She needed something to soothe her, and thinking about the similarities between her boyfriend and his foe was not exactly pleasant.
toki ga ugoku * mune ga sawagu * kaze no naka de
dareka ga yobu koe ga kikoeru
kono karada ni * kono kokoro ni * atsuku hashiru
inochi ga ima mezamete'ku
(Time moves on. My heart pounds. In the wind
I can hear someone's voice calling.
Rushing passionately through this body, this heart,
Life is now awakening. )
Anzu just laid there. Because she forgot to open the curtains this morning, the room was somewhat dark. Pulling her self up, Anzu pried open the curtain revealing a setting sun. Anzu just stood there, one hand holding the curtain while the other pressed against the glass.
hito wa yowai ne
arasotte
nikumiau
(stop
People are weak, aren't they?
They fight
and hate each other. )
It was beautiful. The sun slowly sunk down the horizon, tinting the clouds pink. The sky, no longer blue, became a gradient of orange and purple. Just like Yami's eyes…
demo ai dake wa
nanimokamo
koeru hazu
(stop
But love, of all things,
can surpass
everything.)
Letting go of the curtain and window, Anzu walked back to the couch and sat down. She picked up the newspaper, seeing if there were any jobs available. Scanning it quickly, she soon found an advertisement for baby-sitting.
hikiyoseru yo
tashika ni kimi no moto e to
(My fate
pulls me onward...
certainly towards you)
"Hmm…Must have experience with children and A LOT of responsibility and patience … four hours a day for three days … must not smoke or drink alcohol or do drugs or be involved in gangs … must like Duel Monster … must be female with decent looks and MUST BE single… what the heck?" Anzu said while sweatdropping. Reading further, she saw, "Call 1-800-858-3498 for appointment. Pays two hundred a week…TWO HUNDRED!?!?"
tada hitotsu no yuuki ni kaete
kizutsuku no mo osorenai sa donna toki mo
mamoru yo mamotte miseru
I'll turn them into just one source of courage.
And I'll never even be afraid of getting hurt.
I'll protect you. I'll show you that I will. )
Anzu wondered if she was really desperate for this job. With that kind of pay, she would not only have enough money to pay rent but also, combined with her other jobs; she could finally continue her dancing lesson.
Deciding to take the risk, Anzu picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Ring….. ring….. ring….
"Hello? Who is this?" Unsurprisingly, the voice sounded old and
female.
Clearing her throat, the nervous blue eyed girl answered, "My name is
Anzu Mazaki. I would like to take the baby-sitting job."
There was a pause before the person on the other side asked, "Are you busy at the moment?"
Uncertainly, Anzu replied, "Uh… no-
"Good. Meet me at the smoothie shop on Sakura Lane in fifteen minutes. Bye and have a good day." And with that, the person hung up.
umarete-kita imi wo
ah...
hajimete shitta
(ah...
For the first time, I understand...
ah...
...the meaning of my birth)
Anzu just sat there, wondering if the choice she made was a good one. She knew nothing about the job except the pay and hours, who and where still lingered. Standing up, Anzu walked back into her room to change into something more comfortable.
tada hitotsu no ikiru akashi ni
(You shine on this body, this heart,
As the one and only proof of my life. )
Sliding her closet door, Anzu peered inside. Stripping herself to only her bra and undergarments, Anzu took out a pair of white thigh high socks along with a short, strapless frilly dress. When she was done, she put on her white semi-transparent jacket along with a pair of ankle boots. Looking at herself in the mirror, she declared herself dressed.
mamoru yo mamotte miseru
(That smiling face, those tears, everything about you...
I'll protect you. I'll show you that I will. )
Picking up her purse and cell phone, she walked out the door while humming the tune that just ended.
**
"Why?"
Seto sighed. This was the tenth time that his younger sibling had asked him. Gripping the steering wheel, Seto stated for the tenth time, "Mokuba, no matter what, you are getting a new baby sitter." After taking a right, Seto continued, "The damn doctors advised me, since that I'm still haven't fully recovered, that I get you a baby sitter."
Mokuba groaned. If he had to face another old hag who knitted and talked only about cats, he'd die. Looking up at his older brother, Mokuba asked, "Where are we meeting them?"
"At some smoothie store; my secretary's there too," and that was the last thing said before Seto stopped the car. Turning his head to look at Mokuba, he nodded while Mokuba opened the passenger door and got out. As Seto was leaving, the raven haired child waved good bye before slowly entering the store.
**
Man it was boring. Waiters scurried here and there but the only other customer in the store was that guy in the brown jacket.
Anzu's head turned when the door opened, revealing an old woman with a magenta hat. Anzu recognized her right away. Standing up, Anzu straightened her lacy blue dress. In her hands were her purse and white jacket, as she walked towards the woman.
"Ma'am, my name's Anzu Mazaki. I believe I was the person who called you about the baby sitting job."
The woman looked at Anzu before smiling nicely. Motioning with her hands, she said, "Why don't we take a seat first. We can even order a few drinks."
Putting her things on the chair beside her, Anzu took a seat. She nervously twirled a strand of hair while the lady in front of her ordered two smoothies. When she was done, she turned to look at Anzu before saying, "You are to be a baby sitter for my boss's brother. I believe you already know the hours and pay." Then noticing how anxious Anzu was, she stated, "You must be more comfortable, Kaiba-sama doesn't like jumpy people."
This could not be happening. Of all the people in the world, it had to be him. Anzu gasped as the information finally reached her head. "Kaiba?"

The song up there is 'Kaze no Uta' or Melody of the Wind from Fuushigi Yuugi. I was thinking about using 'Genki no Shawaa' but my computer deleted the lyrics so I used Kaze instead. ^^ Anzu's working (maybe, maybe not) for Kaiba. hehe. Don't worry, there'll be more Anzu/Seto moments. But the next chap is dedicated (hopefully -_-) to Anzu/Yami.
Forever Umiko, the Wave Wisher. ^^
