Yuugi said he would phone at eight, so why hadn't he called yet?
Anzu paced nervously around the cramped, unfamiliar bedroom, wishing that she had brought more of her possessions with her when she had moved. The girl who she was supposed to be sharing the flat with would not be arriving for another week and Anzu was lonely, scared.
It would be four more days until she could get on the train back to Domino, back to her parents house. She was already counting down the hours.
She had always assumed that leaving home wouldn't unduly worry her. Practically everyone did it, at some point in their lives, but it was harder than she had expected.
Everything was different. The water tasted strange, the lights were brighter, the view from her bedroom window was of a building site and a power station instead of safe, Domino suburbia.
She missed everyone.
Her parents had already been in contact, reminding her to lock the door and familiarise herself with all the emergency exits. Honda had sent an email wishing her luck, with similar sentiments expressed from Bakura, Otogi and Mai. Jounouchi and Shizuka had sent a letter which greeted her upon her arrival.
It was only Yuugi really, who she was waiting to hear from.
Since she had packed early, she was able to spend the day before she had left with him. They had mostly stayed indoors, sharing their concerns, their hopes and their dreams.
She had kissed him passionately, trying to memorise the feel of him, the taste of him and she had tried to steal his warmth to keep her fears at bay. She wanted to take a part of him with her as she had left her heart with him, in Domino.
She wished he was here with her now...
Her telephone rang and she rushed to pick up the receiver.
"Hi Anzu, it's Yuugi."
She had never been so relieved to hear his voice.
