Invisible Touch
Chapter 8
The night before Seto sees Anjel, he dreams about playing the guitar to Anjel. He sees her smile brightly and hears her sighs of affection. After he plays the music, he holds out a small, velvet box with an engagement ring, "Anjel Harmony, will you marry me?"
Just before she answers, he wakes up with his eyes faintly glowing white. He sat up for a second until the sensation faded, "I think she's trying to tell me something. But what could it be?"
It was a different kind of sensation. He felt as if he had sex: his body is drizzled in sweat, he became short of breath, and it appeared he may have kicked in his sleep. He looks at the digital clock. He groans, "It's only four in the morning. I'm going back to sleep."
And so he did. Three hours later, he wakes up. It was time to wait for a call. To his luck, he hears the phone ring. He picks up the receiver, "Hello?"
Mokuba evesdrops from the doorway.
"Yes, this is he..."
"..."
"That's a relief..."
"..."
"Yes, I'm on my way to see her." The CEO hangs up the phone.
Mokuba came out of hiding, "Well, is she better?"
"She's doing fine. In fact, she's going home soon." He grabs his electric guitar and suitcase.
"You're really gonna serenade her," Mokuba smiles. "I think it's nice."
"I insist. I even have a surprise in my pocket."
The CEO left the mansion and went to visit his true love with high hopes. This could be the plan to break the walls of hatred and reveal the door to a new relationship.
At the hospital, Anjel is having slight cramps, but it's natural for what she's going through. She felt content and happy as she dozed off to take a nap. Well, she soon wakes up from a loud noise outside. "Good heavens, what was that?" she blinks in curiosity.
She got out of bed and looks out the window. Hanging from a tree, Chaos lights firecrackers and throws them to Marik watching them explode in his face. Her demeanor changed as well. Instead of yelling like she normally does, she asks Chaos to stop throwing firecrackers. The dark mage finds it eerie. Anjel is being nice? He then replies, "Yes ma'am."
"You can wait until I leave to do that," Anjel smiled.
"When do you get out?"
"In fifteen minutes. As a matter of fact, I don't have a ride."
"You do. I called Seto Kaiba to come get you."
"Whatever. As long as I have a ride."
She shuts the window. Marik yells something profane, and Chaos jumps down to beat him up. Inside, Anjel giggles hearing Marik's cries and the sound of massacre. She sees a limo pull up ten minutes later. She noticed a familiar face, and in a hurry, she finds her clothes so she could get dressed. Her back was turned when Seto entered the room. The only things she had on was her bra, bikini briefs, and a tubetop. She continues to dress herself as Seto stares at her hourglass figure drooling. Anjel didn't notice the CEO as she was dressing up. Without looking, she finally said something, "Hello, Seto. I noticed you there staring at me drooling. Do I arouse you?"
"Everytime I see you." He clears his throat, "I'm here to take you anywhere you want to go, my beauty queen."
"How can I still be attractive when I haven't had my hair and face done?"
"Inner beauty, and the fact that you don't need makeup. A saucy person like you don't need it. You're beautiful and that's all that matters. So, where'd you like to go?"
"I feel like going to the park. It's such a lovely day."
"Okay, that's perfect."
"What about you? Don't you have work?"
"Uh-uh! This is my day off. I'm spending my time with you."
Later that day, Yugi strolls along the way with his friends. "I wonder how Anjel is doing."
"Who cares? She's a mean bitch and an evil witch," Joey scoffs picking at the bark from a tree.
"There she is over there," Tea pointed, "and it looks like Kaiba is serenading her."
"I recognize that music," Bakura blurts. "He got that from Gitaroo Man."
"Who?" Joey asks.
"It's a PS2 game, Joey. Keep up with the times, dude."
"It's hard for me to. My dad is stingy with money."
"Too bad. They don't sell them anymore."
"Why?"
"Someone filed a lawsuit claiming that they stole a certain piece of music."
Yugi blinks, "Who could've done that?"
Bakura then changes the subject, "Is it me or is it getting hot out here?"
"Bakura!"
"You wouldn't believe it when I tell you..."
"Who did it, Bakura?"
".....Pegasus....."
Four pairs of eyes the size of dinner plates stare at the white- haired boy. Joey turns away to look at Anjel. "We can't tell her that her uncle is still alive. It'll crush her."
Yugi protests, "Joey, we're gonna have to tell her sooner or later. She deserves to know."
"We can't tell her now. She's happy."
The small group agreed. Still, they wanted to tell her before it was too late. On the other side of the park, Seto completed the serenade and sets the guitar aside. Anjel had a bright smile, "I like it. Every note is played exactly right."
Seto leans foward and whispers in her ear, "Reach inside my left pocket."
Confused but curoius, she reaches into the left pocket and pulls out a small, velvet box. She opens it to reveal an engagement ring. The diamond is large enough to see even from a short distance. Seto took Anjel's left hand and asks a question that will change them forever, "Anjel Harmony, will you be my wife?"
Anjel sheds a few tears of joy. Finally, she answers, "Yes."
Yugi and the others heard the entire engagement scene. The small boy smiles, "I knew she'd give in."
Joey jumps for joy, "Yay! She's now the bride of Seto Kaiba."
"She went from a bitch to a goody-two-shoes," Tristan jokes.
From a distance, a radio was blaring throughout the atmosphere. Yugi turns to the source of the noise and turns away to find that Marik is playing the damn boombox. He danced to the R&B music from SWV. It was a remix of 'Human Nature'. Joey covers his ears, "Hey, you stick person, turn that crap down!"
Marik didn't listen. The boombox must be too loud to block out the voices and sounds. However, Ishizu noticed the hand signals and turns the volume down. Marik wasn't too happy that five idiots didn't like his music, "You sons of bitches, you ruined my music!"
Joey reacted, "How would you like to lose every strand of hair off your skull and one fist up your nose?"
Marik storms over to the blond, "How'd you like one across your lips?"
Joey raises two fists to the Egyptian, "C'mon, I'm not afraid of a stick person like you."
"You will be when I'm done with you!"
"Let's go, shorty!"
Their fists were flying getting ready to rumble. From a distance, Anjel spots the two males fighting, "Excuse me for a minute, Seto."
She pulls out a dog whistle and blows it. Chaos responds seconds later, "Yes, Anjel, what is it?"
Anjel points to the sandy blond male, "Y'see that Egyptian freak? Slaughter him and kick him in the nuts."
"Why? What did he do to you?"
"He's hurting my friends."
"Friends? You have changed dramatically, Anjel. Okay, I'll do it for your friends."
Chaos chases after Marik. Joey ducks from the swinging staff. Marik flung a quarter of a mile and hits a tree. The Egyptian regained conscious and ran away from the dark mage. Joey rises to face Anjel's android. Before he said something, Chaos ran after Marik to finish the job. Anjel returns to Seto, "Those two were ruining the scenery."
"You're something else, babe," the CEO laughs shortly.
"Seto, did you bring my purse?"
"Yes, it's right here."
"You didn't look in it?"
"I never look in a woman's purse. I don't like to invade their only private bag."
"Okay. Listen, I have something to give you."
"You have something for me?"
"Yeah!" Anjel digs through her purse and pulls out two cards, "Here it is. I want you to have these as a token of my love and support."
Seto takes them and examines them. The two cards were Riryoku and Moon Envoy. The CEO didn't know what to say except a 'thank you'.
Anjel explains, "The Moon Envoy is my love, and the Riryoku is my support. It's only to be used whenever you're in a tight spot."
"This is too much. What's gotten into you?"
"I felt a familiar presence while I was in the hospital. I have a feeling that my uncle is back to find me."
"I thought he kicked the bucket."
"So did I. That's not all I'm giving you."
"There's more?"
Anjel hands Seto the seven one-of-a-kind cards. Seto became overwhelmed, "Anjel, this is too much to bear. I can't take these..."
Anjel insisted, "You must. That's what my uncle's after. He wants the cards for his own personal gain and me. You should know by now why your eyes have that faint glow everytime you wake from a dream. It means he'll be coming to get me and then kill you."
"What are you anyway?"
"Okay, Seto, I'm not like other people. Ever since Yugi Moto pieced together the Millenium Puzzle, I received half the power the spirit had. Instead of possessing a millenium item, I gained the ability to sense a spirit I've already known. Trust me, I can sense my uncle's presence from afar."
"If you say so, Anjel, but I have no idea what these cards do."
"Show them to me one at a time and I'll tell you."
Seto flashed a card. Anjel answers, "Originally, it doesn't have a name, but I call it Gitaroo Warrior. You place it in defense, it'll wipe out all the trap and magic cards on the opponent's side of the field."
The CEO continues to draw out a card for Anjel to explain it. After that, Seto had one trap card that only works on spellcasters, two ritual cards, and four monster cards - one of them is a spellcaster, one is a fairy, and the other two are warriors. "I can't take these, Anjel. Your uncle made them for you. Please reconsider what you're doing," the brunette pleads.
"My mind is made up, Seto," Anjel places a dainty hand to his masculine hand. "I just want you to hold them for me until I know my uncle isn't here."
"If you insist, babe. I don't want to lose you."
"I'll only be gone for who knows how long. I have too many things to do. Just remember I love you. I can only stay for one day in this city."
Seto felt like crying hearing this, but he didn't. Instead, it made him hold Anjel closer. The minute he embraced the blonde, a tight sensation made him shift uncomfortably. Anjel giggles, "The little man in the boat is standing up."
The CEO blinks in confusion, "What?"
"That's what my aunt used to say when she talked to me about sex. She always made up stories so I could understand."
"I found out about sex the hard way."
"Pornography?"
"Exactly."
Once again, the radio was turned up too loud. This time, Chaos danced with the music by Good Charlotte. (I enjoy listening to "Girls and Boys"! ^_^) Marik sure enough gave Anjel the finger, "What now, psychotic bitch?"
Seto rises to his feet and cracks his knuckles. Anjel grins at the Egyptian, "I'm not supposed to fight. It's inappropriate for a lady...."
The CEO finishes the sentence with a sinister grin, "...but it's only fair for a man to protect his woman!"
Marik screams like a girl and ran. Yugi quickly double takes as Marik hides behind Bakura, "Save me, oh white-haired one! That crazy dude named Kaiba is gonna murder me!"
Bakura shoves the Egyptian aside, "Buzz off, faggot! Don't stop what you can't finish!"
"Oh Marik," the CEO calls, "come here so I can beat the shit out of you!"
While Seto is dealing with Marik, Anjel blows the dog whistle causing Chaos to go bonkers. The dark mage stomps on the boombox continuously until the noise died. Not only that, she also called over a few stray dogs. She looks down at the pack and then shrugs, "Oh well, I can take them home with me. The androids need structure."
Chaos hovers to Anjel with his head down in shame. The blonde was very disappointed at the dark mage, "Chaos, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I didn't bring you here to cause a riot."
"I know," the dark mage meekly replied.
"I want you to go back home and think about what you've done. While you're at it, do me one favor."
"What is it?"
"Look after Dale. If his clothes are off, don't do anything."
"Why? The kid wants to run around the place naked. It's disgusting."
"Don't stare at him. He does it just to get attention. Once he has it, he won't stop."
"It's hard to ignore him."
"I know, but when he's naked, I want you to do the same thing only you have to talk Annabelle and Dark into it first."
"Yes ma'am."
Chaos takes flight and headed home. Anjel turns to the scene and watched Seto beat the living hell out of Marik. Yugi and Joey attempted to stop the CEO, but all seems futile.
