Untitled Love


Chapter Four



He was mad. He obviously didn't want his evening to be ruined even more by the mentioning of his parents. Seto balled up his hands into neatly packed fists.

'My life turned to hell when they died. Then bastard Gobazuro came. Then Yami. Then Pegasus. Then Yami again…And now her!?'

'Why was I so stupid!??! I talk too much!!!' Anzu's mouth did had the tendency to run on, but usually not that she'll hurt another person's feelings. She felt even more unwanted under his gaze; it had that piercing look that no other can match up with.

"My parents are dead!!! Everybody always have to bother me on that topic!!! So, are you happy!!! Now you know that poor Seto doesn't have any parents!!!" Seto mentioned the last statement rather sarcastically, making the girl feel even more ashamed about the whole situation. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She had never gone through the process of losing both her parents, but she knew it was especially painful, the people that supported you, cared for you, loved you till kingdom come, all gone in a blink.

Seto looked even more deeply in the water, caught in a trance. His cold blue eyes eyed the steady movement of still life and warm water. Anzu made a choice on that spot she was standing on. Right here and now, she was going to dedicate herself to helping Seto deal with his past, and maybe try to change his reputation of social recluse.

"Seto??..." Anzu walked a bit closer to him, to catch a more detailed glimpse of his face.

"What!?" She stopped there, within a couple of feet from him, her skirt flying slightly from the breezes coming in from the north.

Seto gave her a long hard stare. He had never remembered Anzu being this... attractive. But then again, he never really focused on people's looks much and she was quite close to him.

"Look Seto, the reason that people unintentionally hurt your feelings is because they don't know anything about you. That is the one of the problems of being a recluse. So it's not really their fault. So, why won't you open up?"

Saying all that in a soft tone, he almost opened his mouth to yell at her some more about nosing into people's businesses yet again, but thinking about it a little bit, he realized she was probably right in some aspects. No!! He wasn't going to fall for her tricks with that nice-nice routine. Most probably she was going to flaunt to everybody about his personal life if he did open up to her. That was the way people are.

"Shut up, will you!!! How I lead my life is really none of your problem!!"

'No matter how much I try to talk to him about his problem, he always denies it!! He can't face the truth about himself!!! Sure, the truth hurts, but he's the one that made the whole thing like this.' Thinking bitterly about this to herself, Anzu suddenly grew mad with fury.

"Well, fine then!! I'm leaving! And your life is my problem!!! I'm trying to help you, and you keep denying that you need it!!! Well, bye!!" Stomping off into the distance, Seto just stood there unfazed by the whole scene. He should be glad that she left. No more speeches or anything on how he was such a recluse. But there was something about her. For some reason, he rather liked that Anzu was trying to help him with his problems. It was all amusing to him.

'She thinks she can help make my problems all go away in an instant. It's rather hilarious when you think about it over. She never gone through my life, so what would she know?' Seto thought of all that, biting his lip in an amusing way, with the collar of his purple trenchcoat whipping against his face.

'Yami, do you think this is a good gift to give to Anzu?' Yugi blushed at the thought of her, sweet caring face and all, as he carefully wrapped up an intricately carved wooden jewelry box with a big amount of wrapping paper. It took weeks of allowance just to buy it and more money for the wrapping paper, having bought it from a very expensive store, too. It was a birthday gift to Anzu, whose birthday was on Monday. (I didn't know when was Anzu's birthday until way into this ficcy, so let's just pretend her birthday is around the time before school lets out) Yami was busy thinking about various things in his soul room, located in the Sennen Puzzle strung around Yugi's neck.

'Yami?' Yugi repeated again, this time with a tint of annoyance to his voice.

'Huh, oh what?'

'What do you think of the gift I bought for Anzu?' He was getting a little bit frustrated with his yami. He had been spacing out in there these days.

Yami looked at a space right in front of him in the soul room, which was a view to the outside world.

'It's rather extravagant. You really do care for her a lot.'

Yugi blushed a bit more. He had liked his friend Anzu since they were in elementary school. She had been his first friend, and had gone through all of each other's tough times and obstacles.

'Then what did you get for her, Yami?'

'Just a little something from Ancient Egypt. I put it in your bureau drawer when you switched to me the other day. I hope she likes it. But look at it later, you got to finish wrapping. And you need to use more tape than that. Some of the folds are sticking out.'

'Thanks for the tip.' Yugi took the scotch tape that was sitting right next to him, and snapped a piece of adhesive tape to attach to the pale lavender wrapping.

"I really hope she likes my gift."

Having shut off his mind link with Yugi a moment ago, Yami stared at the space to the outside world, sad thoughts now lingering into his head.

"Too bad you don't realize that Anzu doesn't feel that way towards you. But I do, Yugi, I do…"

A/N: Ooh, I wonder what did Yami got for Anzu!! All you readers shall have to wait for the next chapter to find out!! For non-yaoi people, there will be a little one-sided Yami/Yugi, so don't go crazy when you see another scene between them and want to pull your hair out. Don't say I didn't warn you so. I know, short chapter again. (I think, I didn't check word count this time) But that seemed like the perfect spot to stop writing!! Review, and no flames!! Thankfully, chapter three of Priest of Eternal Light will come around tomorrow. Ja ne!!
