Love Doesn't Have to Hurt

Chapter 6

Cynthia breathed deeply as she hid behind a pillar, hand on heart, 'What am I going to do? I can't face him not after all these years!! I vowed myself to forget him and I have to. If my children ever found out.... Wait does that mean that he maybe here?'

"Could my son also be here?" she whispered, "Please let him be, I just want to see him once."

Taking another deep breath, she stepped out of her hiding place and said, "Welcome everyone to Heavens Palace."

She stopped as everyone looked at her, nodding to Isis who carried on for her.

"Yes welcome, I am very happy you could come, now um Anzu why don't you introduce me to everyone?"

That shook Anzu out of her thoughts, glaring daggers at Isis, which made Serenity giggle, clearing her throat, she stepped up to Isis and Yami and said, "Well this is King Yami ruler of the entire demon world."

"Hello Queen Isis. I am very honoured you invited me and my kingdom."

'Wow he's a charmer, sigh if I wasn't getting married, I mean.'

"Thank you King Yami. I am very grateful that you came. I hope you like it here."

Looking at Serenity and Anzu who stood by Isis, he answered with, "I am sure I will." This caused certain demons to smirk and Joey and Tristan to growl slightly.

Isis just nodded and walked on to the next thinking, 'Note to self, if he goes anywhere near my sisters, I will castrate him.'

Stepping to Pegasus, Anzu said, "This is Sir Pegasus, the old ruler of the Shadow world."

"I see, well thank you for coming."

"The pleasure is all mine Isis."

Nodding she turned to the next demon.

"This is Mai, sister to Yami."

"I see, well thanks for attending."

"Tis okay hon, as long as I don't have to send all my clothes for dry cleaning with the amount of drool that dog gives off."

"Huh?"

Behind her Serenity and Anzu giggled, while Joey growled a little louder.

'Stupid woman. As if I like her, I mean yeah, she has a great body.... great legs....wow....'

Shaking her head, Isis turned to Seto and said, "Well I believe I already know you Seto the royal advisor. Thank you so MUCH for coming," she said slight sarcastically.

"Oh I am so HAPPY you invited me," was the reply.

"Well um anyway, this is Malik."

"Hello, thank you for coming."

He nodded and said, "Its okay."

'What a weird demon, look at his wings,' Isis thought as she moved on to the last demon.

"And this is?........ Anzu?"

Anzu gulped some air and said quietly, "This is ahem Bakura."

"Well thank you for coming as well."

"Didn't have much choice."

"Oh?"

Bakura felt Malik kick him slightly, "I mean thank you for inviting us all."

She replied with, "Didn't have much choice."

And not giving time for the others to register that thought, she turned and said, "Will you all please join us for breakfast? Also the maids will show you to your room."

Nodding, everyone followed Isis, but before Anzu could leave, she felt her arm being grabbed and heard Bakura whisper in her ear, "Nice outfit."

 "Huh?" she said as he left to follow Yami, looking down, she couldn't help but shriek "Oh MY! I GREETED THEM ALL IN MY PYJAMAS?" hands in her hair, she closed her eyes and wished that the ground would open up and swallow her.

Laughing, Serenity grabbed her arm and they turned to go upstairs, when they heard, "Wait, I believe I haven't been introduced to this flower."

They turned to see Yami and everyone looking at them, which cause Anzu to snicker and Serenity to go red. "Well I am um Serenity."

"Lovely name for a lovely lady."

'YUCK,' thought all girls.

"Err well um thank you err," and with that, she and Anzu ran upstairs and burst into a fit of giggles.

"What was that?" asked Serenity.

"Oh a lovely name, for a lovely lady," said Anzu laughing, clutching her sides.

"But Zu, you never told me about Bakura. How come?"

That stopped the laughter, "Oh well um I didn't really um well see him that much," she replied, eyes glanced downwards at the floor.

"OH MY! YOU LIKE HIM!"

"WHAT? I DO NOT!"

"Yeah you do or you would have told me. Zu you know that not good."

"Seren I do not like him OKAY, he just a stupid cute demon and...... Oopps."

"Oh oh and you DON'T like him?"
"GAH!"

"Okay okay any way lets get changed."

Anzu sighed as they came downstairs. She was now dressed in a short white skirt and a white top with a bit of pink on it. She glanced around the room and saw Serenity take the seat by Mai which left one seat next to...... Bakura.....'Great this is sooo great.'

Sighing, she sat down and took some food, determined not to look at him or acknowledge at all.

"Well," she heard him whisper, "I liked the previous one before."

She said nothing, but her face took on a rosy colour.

When everyone was finished, Isis stood and said, "Perhaps you should all retire to your rooms for a bit. I am sure you may be tired."

Nodding to Isis, they all stood up as she told Serenity to show Seto and Mai to their rooms, while she would show Yami and Pegasus and so on. "Anzu you can show Malik and Bakura to their rooms. They are on the same wing as you."

".............. Why me? Why?"
