^__^ Before I start, this ficcie is dedicated to Mizu-chan, a talented writer and a good friend. Also, this is my *first* Yami/Yuugi ficcie! So please bear with me. XD
Oh, and the story *will* contain bashing of Anzu! Since Mizu and I despise her… and always will! =) So, if you like Anzu and dislike yaoi, I advise you not to continue any longer. =)
So, here we go!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Yuugi marched into the living room happily. It had been a great day; the weather was warm, the sun was out… not to mention, Anzu accepted his confession! Yuugi smiled as he laid his backpack down, and collapsed exhaustedly in his bed.
"Aibou?" Yami asked, walking into his room. Yuugi looked up and jumped up from his bed.
"Yami!" Yuugi smiled happily.
Yami smiled back. "My, what's gotten into you?"
Yuugi paced around his yami. "Yami, its love!"
Yami raised an eyebrow. Love? Has his hikari found his love? "Love? Someone loves you?"
Yuugi stared at his yami thoughtfully before nodding. "Well, I suppose you could say that…" Yuugi smiled. "But more like confessing to someone and they tell you that they love you back!"
Yami playfully shook his head at his hikari with a grin. "And who is this 'someone'?"
Yuugi blushed and looked away. "Its Anzu," He said in a whisper.
Yami's grin turned into a slight frown. "Anzu!? You mean that queer—"
"Yami, she's not queer!" Yuugi cut him off, pouting slightly. Yami sighed mentally. Anzu didn't truly love Yuugi. Yami knew her purpose really well. Anzu had asked him out before, and Yami rejected her without any second thoughts or remorse of doing so. Anzu was in deep frustration and distress, and she had told him that she would not allow Yami to do such thing to her without revenge. And now, it seems that Anzu is using Yuugi as a target for revenge on Yami. And his aibou, Yuugi, was seriously falling for it.
"All right, aibou," Yami said with a sigh of defeat. "You're right. She's not queer." (A/N: Riiiiight. XD)
Yuugi smiled and sat down on his bed again. Yami, on the other hand, was deep in thoughts. This Anzu is getting suspicious, and Yami needed to know the truth. Did she love Yuugi truly, or does she not? "Aibou, I want to come to school with you tomorrow."
"Huh… why?" Yuugi inquired. His yami had only been to school with him once, and he had personally said it was boring. And why would he want to go to school with him now?
"I… just want to… um…" Yami quickly thought of an excuse. "…Accompany my aibou to school."
Yuugi looked up at his yami with those wide amethyst eyes. "Why, thank you yami! You're the best!"
Yami felt himself melt at that. He loved the hikari, Yuugi, but as everyone knew, he loved Anzu. Yami had nothing against that, and he could not confess to his hikari when this… Anzu was in the way. Yami understood all she wanted to do was to play his aibou in order to win his heart. But, unfortunately to Anzu, that would not help at all. It was only increasing hatred to herself from him.
Yami nodded and pat the hikari's head before walking away.
*+*+*+*+*+*
The next day approached as Yami and Yuugi walked to school together. Yami enjoyed the togetherness with Yuugi, which unfortunately was broken by a loud annoying shout by Anzu.
Yuugi happily wheeled around and waved at Anzu, while Yami remained standing, arms crossed and eyes narrowed, frowning in annoyance at the girl. Anzu, however, did not wave back at her so-called-boyfriend, but walked off with her high heels clicking loudly to Yami instead.
"Hey Yami!" She said sweetly, completely ignoring Yuugi, or probably not even aware of his existence.
Yami forced a small smile before it turned into a frown again. "Hey." He replied politely, although wanting to inquire why she talks with such a fake voice.
Yuugi felt a tinge of jealousy stinging his heart; did Anzu like Yami better than him? Yuugi shook the thought away. No, of course not. Maybe Anzu had thought Yami had waved to her instead? Himself and Yami looked alike, so it's not such a surprise to be mixed up.
Anzu smiled and began ruffling her hair, folding her skirt higher, blinking her eyes affectionately, pursing her lips together, and everything that she thinks that would make her prettier. (A/N: -__-) Yami rolled his eyes disgustedly, sickened of her revolting actions. Yuugi, however, smiled and beamed at how pretty Anzu looked. "Good morning, Anzu!" he said, trying to capture her attention.
Anzu looked down at him, as he was about an inch or so shorter than she was, and looked away as if Yuugi was some annoyingly little child. She swung her hips irritatingly but continued to beam at Yami. Yuugi, seeing this, felt his tinge of jealousy lurching in his heart once more. Looking down sadly, he didn't notice that Yami was aware of everything that he was feeling.
Yami felt a sudden anger rising. How dare, just how dare Anzu disregard his hikari? Yuugi had nicely greeted her, and as his lover, she should always give him a hug or something similar. Or, at least, greet back, but not looking away and smiling at someone else! Yami resisted the urge to yell at her, but instead remained calm and glared at the girl.
Anzu saw Yami's cross at her and understood quickly. She turned her head to Yuugi disgustedly. "Good morning," She replied, but without her fake sweet voice. Anzu then began smiling at Yami again, who rolled his eyes, annoyed.
Yuugi was too happy to notice that, because he was still smiling to himself—Anzu had said good morning to him!
The day went on, with Anzu's irritating actions of vanity and (of course) her annoying friendship speeches. Yuugi was the only one who paid her any attention, and Yami was one of the many who walked away.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
After school, Yami asked Yuugi to walk home with Jou first, since he had something important to do. Yuugi obeyed and left without Yami, who waited for Anzu to finish her cheerleading class.
"Oh my—Yami!" Anzu beamed when she stepped out of the gym. Then she began ruffling her hair, blinking her eyelashes… etc etc etc. "You… you waited for me?"
Yami rolled his eyes and nodded lazily. Anzu dropped her jaw in amazement and threw her arms around Yami. "Thank you! Thank you Yami!"
Sickened, Yami pushed her away forcefully, which made Anzu stumble a few steps back, knocking onto a tree. She deserved it, Yami told himself. Yami cleared his throat, and began to explain his purpose. "We need to talk."
Anzu quickly stood up and brushed dirt away from her skirt. A bit taken back by Yami's push, she was lit up again by his words. Was Yami going to confess to her!? She smiled to herself in happiness. "Sure!"
Yami walked farther away from the girl; he hated her strong perfume scent. How could Yuugi even like this girl!? He cleared his throat once more before speaking again. "About you and Yuugi…"
"I know, I know! If you want to be with me too, I can dump Yuugi just for you, Yami!" Anzu cut him off.
Yami felt like slapping her. He really, really wanted to. But, after all, he was a pharaoh; and pharaohs don't usually loose their temper and control that easily. How can Anzu say that? Dump Yuugi? She had just given Yuugi such happiness by admitting her love to him yesterday, and dumps him when she likes some other guy better? What kind of theory is that? Yami understood, Anzu didn't like Yuugi seriously; she was just using him to get Yami's attention, which she now had. Her plan had succeeded. She has captured his attention from Yuugi.
"No," Yami said at once. "I do not want to be with you."
Anzu's eyes widened. She looked at Yami thoughtfully; he was so hot, so handsome, so brave, so confident, so faithful… Oh, that's right! Faithful! Yami was faithful to Yuugi, he didn't want to break their friendship by dating her! Aw, how nice and thoughtful of Yami! Anzu smiled at him, slipping her hair behind her ear.
"Yami, its alright! Yuugi can handle it. I know you and Yuugi have a great friendship bond, but then sometimes friends have to give in and sacrifice something for another, in order to really become true friends…"
Yami rolled his eyes and waited politely for Anzu to finish her speech. What did Anzu know about friends? Besides, he and Yuugi were more than friends. Way more than just friends. When her speech was done, Yami ignored everything she had said, but continued his question.
"No, I don't want to be with you at all. Now, listen," Yami said firmly, his eyes gazing unblinkingly at the blue ones before him. "Do you truly love Yuugi?"
Anzu bit her lip but did not answer. Yami glared at her, his crimson orbs still staring at her unblinkingly, as if peering deep down into her very soul. "Answer me! Do you truly love him?"
But Anzu's mind was into something else. Yami's eyes were red and shiny! Something she hadn't noticed. Anzu peered back into the eyes, seeing her own reflection in Yami's crimson orbs. Aw, red eyes, how very hot!
Yami kicked her in the shins. "Answer me!"
Anzu snapped back to life, gulping at Yami. Think of something, Anzu! Her mind was blurred, as she let out a sudden laugh. The laugh was full of evil and insanity, as she gazed back at Yami. "What do you think, Yami? Do you really think, I, Anzu Mazaki, would like some squirt like Yuugi?"
Yami glared at her, not surprised at her answer. Yet he wanted to know more. "Then why did you say you love him?"
Anzu was amazed at why Yami wanted to know so much… was it… Was it that Yami loved Yuugi!? Anzu understood… it was. Yami loved Yuugi. But Yuugi loved her. She was sure of that. Anzu smirked and started to walk away, not answering Yami's question. She knew just what to do to break them apart.
Yami watched as Anzu strolled away, swaying her hips this way and that, her high heels clicking loudly, her hair bouncing up and down. Yami sighed, Anzu did not answer his questions yet. But he wasn't going to give up. He had to tell Yuugi what Anzu had said and convince him not to like her any longer.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*
When Anzu reached home, she knew exactly what to do. Phone Yuugi. She dialled his number, praying Yami was not home yet and that he would not pick up the phone. Yet, luck was on her side. Yuugi answered instead of Yami. "Hello?" He said.
"Yuugi! I've missed you so," Anzu lied in her fake sweet voice; she has to cheer Yuugi on first. She shook her head annoyingly as she heard Yuugi's happy giggle. "I've missed you too!" He said.
"Yuugi, did you know where Yami went after school today?" Anzu said, getting on her topic.
"No, he told me to go home first because he said he had things to do…" Yuugi said thoughtfully.
"Heh," Anzu said, starting to smirk. "He went to find me after school." She could hear a gasp from Yuugi on the other line, and her smirk grew wider. This is going great, Yuugi believes what she says.
Anzu continued. "You know what he said to me after school?"
"What… what did he say…?" Yuugi asked curiously. Why would Yami want to wait for Anzu after school? What if he… he…
"Yami confessed to me," Anzu said, biting back a laugh. "And he demand us to break up because he says he's better."
Yuugi's eyes grew wide, and he began trembling uncontrollably. "He… he what?"
Anzu couldn't help but laugh mentally, as she continued. "He told me he's loved me for a year or so already, and he said he felt his heart ache when he knew you and I were together… and then he demanded us to break up because he knew he is better than you…"
Yuugi felt hatred rising into his head. How… how could Yami do this? He couldn't believe this, no, he couldn't. His yami had said Anzu was queer, hasn't he? Yes, so he possibly didn't love her… but what if his yami was only saying things to make him feel that Anzu is not that great, and make him no longer like her; so that Yami himself could have Anzu? No… how could he think of Yami this way? He had protected him, helped him, comforted him… he wouldn't compare which one of them are better… would he? Yami would never be like that… right?
Anzu smirked again. Her plan had worked. Yuugi believed what she said. Wait—what if Yuugi was too nice and give her up for Yami? No, she has to convince Yuugi to hate Yami.
"Yuugi… did you know what else Yami said about you?" Anzu said. After Yuugi's small whimper, she continued. "He said, 'Yuugi is just a little sqirt that I have to stick around for him, since he can't defend himself'. That wasn't very nice, was it, Yuugi?"
"N-no," Yuugi replied, his voice not louder than a whisper. "W-what did you say? Do you agree with him, that I can't even defend myself?"
"No, of course not! Why would I, Yuugi? We love each other, don't we? No matter what Yami says, I still love you more. You got to stand up to Yami, Yuugi! Don't let him put you down!" Anzu lied, having fun.
Yuugi nodded his head. "Thanyou, Anzu… You're the only I could trust, from now on… I love you too…" With that, they both hanged up.
Anzu let out a laugh, a loud laugh, letting the sound bounce off the walls. Her plan has succeeded, and now Yami would have to deal with his love who doesn't even trust him anymore. Hahahaha.
*+*+*+*+*+*
Yuugi slumped on the couch, crying out. How, just how could his yami have been like this… for a girl? Yes, he got to stand up, he can't let Yami put him down any longer.
It all made sense… Yami didn't look so happy when he told him that he loved Anzu… and Yami said he had to go to school with him right after that… because he had to tell Anzu that he loved her as well… and Yami did, in fact, stayed after school… it all made sense. But Yuugi knew he truly was no match to Yami when it comes to girls… Anzu had greeted Yami first that morning… and…
Just then, Yami returned home. He took of his shoes and spotted Yuugi crying on the couch. "Aibou…?" He asked in concern.
Yuugi just looked at him. His face full of tears, he ran. He ran up the stairs and into his room, locking the door.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Nooooo! Die, Anzu! Die! Poor Yami and Yuugi… but they would be together in the end! ^^ And sorry if I was too mean to Yami or Yuugi… it's just the story plot. =\ Well… Chapter 2 would be up soon! XD
