"Anzu! Anzu! Anzu!" Jou raced up to the table where Anzu was sitting dragging Mai behind him. Shortly after, Marik, Ryou, Sutomi, Honda, Yugi, and Yami had joined them, wondering what Jou was screaming about. "I have this wicked idea!!"

Anzu looked at Mai, and seeing the expression that was on her face she decided that she didn't want to hear what Jou had to say.

"What are you talking about, Jou?" Ryou asked as Sutomi edged closer to him.

Anzu eyed Sutomi curiously, but soon turned her eyes back to Jou as he started explaining his 'wicked idea'.

"Seto is being a real ass to me. . .and I'm sure he had said something to at least one of you." Jou said, he watched as a couple of them nodded. "Great. How about lets give ourselves a privet tour of his old mansion?"

"Jou you have to be kidding." Yugi said.

Jou shook his head. "Nope. I think we should ditch this lame party and explore! Wadda ya all think?"

"I think it sounds like a great idea." Sutomi said, her voice low and almost unhearable.

"And I agree with her. . ." Honda said, a big goofy grin appearing across his face.

". . .your all crazy. . ." Anzu mumbled.

"Ah, c'mon Anzu! Mai is going!" Jou said.

Anzu looked at Mai who just shrugged helplessly. She sighed. ". . .fine. . .fine. . .lets go. . .but if I get lost Jou it'll be your head not anyone else's."

Jou smirked. "Don't worry about it, Anzu! You won't get lost, its only an old mansion."

". . .leaving the keywords being 'old' and 'mansion', Jou." Marik said crossing his arms.

"Eh, shut up!" Jou yelled.

"Guys stop it." Anzu stood up. "If we are gonna do this lets just GO already!"

"I like the way she thinks! Lets MOVE OUT!" Honda cheered, making everyone else sweat-drop.

"This is going on better and quicker than I had hoped." Kasi mumbled to herself as she watched the group leave the main room. ". . .excellent. . ."

* * *

"What are we doing this for again?" Ryou asked as the group made their way into one of the rooms on the third floor. ". . .I suddenly DON'T want to do this. . ."

Anzu sighed and walked on with Sutomi close to her side. ". . .so how long have you been living in Domino?" she asked her.

"A while now." Sutomi answered. "I came here with my dad after he and mom broke up. There are a lot of nice people here."

Anzu smiled and glanced back at Ryou. "And I see that you've met probably the nicest of them all, Sutomi. . ."

". . .he's really nice. . .and he's so cute. . ." Sutomi smiled.

Anzu giggled. "And I also thinks he likes you."

"All ready?" Sutomi asked. "I only met him around a half hour ago. . ."

Anzu shrugged. "You never know. . ."

"OK everyone this is where we split." Jou said turning to face the group.

"What? No one said anything about splitting up, Jou!" Anzu said putting her hands on her hips.

"Eh, we can't make a good scan of the place in just the one big group!" Jou said. "Agreed?"

Everyone reluctantly nodded.

"That's right." Jou smirked. "So I have taken the liberty of forming out groups. . .Mai, and myself will be going back down to the second floor. Honda and Yugi, you guys will go through his floor. Ryou, you and Marik and that girl. . ." Jou pointed to Sutomi, not knowing her name. "Will go to the fourth floor. And Yami and Anzu. . .you guys go to the fifth floor. . ."

". . .I still don't really see the point in all this but anyway. . ." Anzu sighed. "Lets go then." the four groups split up.

Anzu sighed and crossed her arms, she took a small glance over at Yami. ". . .so. . .what are we going to do now?"

"I don't know. . ." Yami said. "I don't really feel like following along with Jou's plan to tour the place. . .but since we are here. . ." he looked at Anzu and smiled. "Lets just have a small look around.

Anzu nodded, trying to regain the strength in her legs that she had lost when Yami smiled at her. 'Why am I acting like this around him?' she thought mentally slapping herself. '. . .he was a great Pharaoh. . .what am I suppose to do? I can't just fall in love with him. . .for the simple fact it will never happen! And besides! We are good friends. . .and do I really want to destroy that??'

Anzu followed Yami into a darkened room. ". . .hold on I'll find a light switch. . ." Yami said, feeling around for one on the wall.

Anzu looked around. She didn't like the feeling that was coming from the room. . .it seemed like they weren't the only ones in there. '. . .perfect. . .'

The light came on and Anzu blinked. It was only a spare bedroom. ". . .wow. . .interesting. . ." she said sarcastically.

Yami chuckled. "Not much in here to be interested in is there?"

Anzu shook her head. "Not really. . ."

Yami looked at her and smiled. "You know those ears suit you."

Anzu blushed. "Jeeze, Yami." she looked at him. "You have to be kidding me."

Yami laughed. "No honestly they go really good with um. . .your costume. . ."

"Now that's just being mean. . ." Anzu shifted. "I didn't want to be a playboy bunny. . .it was kinda Mai's idea anyway. . ."

Anzu watched at Yami's gaze stayed steadily on her face, she suddenly felt weak in the legs again. but before she could say anything else, she found herself falling. . .
