Thank you to the people who reviewed!!!!! Ok Cat- here's the deal. I know that it's boring. I honestly wanted to make the chapter dark, but decided against it because it would take too many details and drag on. Just telling what happened to her took three pages! And frankly, I don't care about what's happening now. This is intro- the plot of the story should really start in the next chapter. Maybe in this one. But if I jumped straight to it, then people wouldn't understand why she does the things she will do. No, Cat, I won't delete your review. Why should I?
People: warning!!! The story will not be that dark except for some chapters. To get the "darkness" of it all you need to look over the entire story- just what's happening to her, yada yada yada. Yes, there will be some angst in the chapters. It won't be like my Ryou songfic. More of a psycho dark than a physical dark. Just wanted to clear that up.
Oh, and please don't be afraid of flaming me!!! I'm sure I deserve flames if I get them. And don't be afraid of signing your reviews, even if they are bad! That's just cowardly… and besides, I won't do anything bad to you if you don't like my story, and will appreciate it more if you start to like it. But please please please don't give me crap like, "But the story is actually a nice idea" after telling me it sucked. That's just insulting!
Sooooo… without further nonsense, here's the story!!
The weekend passed, and neither Mokuba, Seto, nor Anzu saw sun or moon. They sat inside the mansion, laughing and talking, catching up on old times. Anzu never ceased to be amazed at the wealth and size of her new home.
"Are you serious," she gasped, gaping at her bedroom.
"What?" Seto asked innocently.
"It's huge!" Anzu shouted, running and leaping onto the water bed. After she was done rolling around, she grinned up at Seto who was watching her in amusement.
"Aren't you gonna look around?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Grinning sheepishly, Anzu climbed off the bed and walked to one of the doors leading out. Looking at Seto to make sure it was ok, she pulled on the handle. The door swung open revealing a huge private bathroom. Anzu gasped once again, and looked around speechlessly. A pool-sized bath, jacuzzi, wall-length mirror. Everything was made out of white marble. "Oh my god," she breathed, backing away from the door and bumping into Seto, who smirked at her reaction.
"What, can't a brother indulge his baby sister once in a while?" (A/N: no, they are not biologically related. They just act as though they are.) Shaking her head, she opened another door- a walk in closet. Another door- a study. The final door- a game room, complete with wide screen tv, stereo system, and a cupboard filled with games.
Anzu stared at Seto. "Are you serious, Seto?" she asked again, awe expressed on her face.
Seto nodded, smiling. "Thank you!" Anzu screeched, jumping on him and strangling him in a hug. She started to squeal with joy, and laughed at the face Seto made as he tried to cover his ears against the sound.
"God, I didn't know people could make that sound," he joked, as he pulled a giggling Anzu out of the room, across a hall, down two staircases, past 37 doors and into his own chambers. Plopping down on the bed, he pushed his friend onto an empty couch across from him. "Now, lets chat," he grinned.
***Time Passes***
It was midnight. For god knows how long, she and Seto had gossiped. Now, she was curled up on the couch, watching her best friend work on his computer. Anzu yawned, thinking about tomorrow. Monday. "Oh no!" she cried, startling Seto out of his typing.
"What's wrong?" he asked alarmed.
"Tomorrow's Monday," she replied panicky. Seto clearly did not see the problem. "I didn't do any of the homework! I never not do homework! And the teachers will be so mad at me, and I'll fall behind in class, and- oh my god! Classes! We're going to see them tomorrow! Oh, what are they going to say? What will I say? What wi-"
"Anzu, calm down," Seto told her, breaking through her ramblings. "Everything will be fine, ok? Just breath. In… out…in…out…" Seto grinned as she tried following his instructions. "Now, you can not do homework once in your life and still pass a course. Correct?" Anzu nodded. "Explain to the teachers that you were sick. I'll be there with you, so you won't have to worry about a thing." Anzu smiled gratefully at him.
"But what about Yugi-tachi?" she asked, worried.
"What about them?" Seto asked.
"What will I say to them? How will I act around them?" Anzu's voice faded.
"Don't worry about them. Let them make the first move, and then you follow along with whatever they set up. And remember, I'll be with you if anything goes wrong." Seto sighed, got out of his chair and sat next to Anzu. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine," he said seriously. "Now, go to bed. It's late and we need to get up early."
"What about you Seto?" Anzu asked.
"I just need to finish up some work," he replied.
"Oh no you don't!" Anzu said annoyed. "You will finish the work tomorrow. Now, you workaholic, you go to bed."
"I'd like to see you try and make me," he countered smiling. He was much bigger than Anzu was, and incomparably stronger.
"Ok then, brother. I wont go to sleep until you go to bed." Seto looked thoughtful.
"You're on." He got up and went back to his computer. Anzu sighed, and left the room. 'I won,' Seto commended himself. But his victory was short lived. Anzu came back into the room carrying her back pack.
"If you'll work, I might as well- seeing I'll get no sleep tonight anyway," she said grinning at the horror struck look on Seto's face.
"Come on, Anzu, go to bed. You need sleep."
"So do you," she replied, taking out her binder and yawning. Seto smiled.
"All right then. Goodnight," he said, kissing Anzu on the cheek.
"Night bro," she responded smiling at him as he went into his bathroom. But for what came next she was completely unprepared. Seto re-immerged, wearing nothing but boxers. 'Wow, he's hot,' Anzu slapped herself mentally for thinking dirty thoughts about her "brother". Seto smirked. He obviously felt nothing in that sense towards his friend, but 'it is fun to play games with her,' he thought. He knew very well the affects his body had on the opposite gender.
"Ready to go to bed?" he asked innocently, pulling back his bed covers and inwardly laughing at Anzu's reaction. Her eyes widened considerably, as she eyes from him to the bed.
"I think I'll go to my room," she said quickly.
"Can you find it by yourself?" Seto asked sleepily, while on the inside he smirked at Anzu's paling of face.
"Oh, right," she replied. "Well, goodnight then, she said, curling up on the couch.
"Do you really think I'd let my sister sleep on a couch?" he asked indignantly, watching her reaction. Anzu stiffened.
"Well where do you expect me to sleep?" she asked, voice quavering. She did not like the direction this was going in. 'Even though he is like my brother, and I don't feel anything for him other than sisterly affection—a really hot guy is asking me to sleep with him! What the hell am I supposed to do now?'
"Don't be stupid, Anzu. Come to bed," he could barely conceal a snort of laughter as Anzu sat bolt upright on the couch and stared at him. He motioned for her to come over.
Seeing no way out of this and blushing like mad, Anzu crept to the bed and installed herself in the farthest possible corner from Seto. Turning off the light, Seto allowed himself a grin. It was so fun to tease his sister. He climbed into the bed, and moved closer to Anzu, his hand just touching her arm. She stirred restlessly. 'I am so evil,' Seto thought. And with that final smirking idea, he fell asleep.
'What the hell am I supposed to do now?' Anzu thought, listening to his gentle breathing. 'He looks so peaceful asleep.' Anzu moved her loving gaze to the ceiling, counting the number of swirls she could find. After a while, she too fell asleep.
Was that any better? Please review, even if you have nothing good to say! And I promise- next chapter, the plot will begin. Her meeting with Yugi-tachi will be in that chapter, as well as something else. Also, I was thinking of adding some songs into this, you know, like at the beginning. Maybe not for every chapter, but yeah. Think it's an ok idea? PLEASE REVIEW!!!
