Chapter 6



This feeling of want erupted over him in the next few minutes, listening to the conversation of birthday girl and her friends. Seto had never realized how close was Anzu to Yugi, and he sure wished that he could go punch him in the face. Mostly Yami, that was living inside the poor little shrimp of Yugi's Millenium Puzzle, and a tenth of that, Yami's hikari. His mind was denying the whole thing, but his goddamn heart just wanted the girl, badly.

'But why the hell do I feel this way? And to one of Yugi's friends! I finally gone insane.'

Right now the quadruple was talking about how much did the jewelry box cost. Which made Seto rolled his eyes.

'Simple fools. If they just look at it more, then they realize how much it would cost. A big lot, too.' It was a big thing he hated about them, their minds were so underdeveloped, they had to ask what the heck was every single thing was.



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *



"A 100 bucks!!!!!! Where the heck did you get all that cash!!!!??????" Jounouchi's face was obscenely close to his spiked, blond, red-magenta friend. In fact so close, that Honda was about to announce that a kissing contest be held between the two, but he decided not.

"But Jounouchi, didn't Yugi gave you 3 million bucks back there in the Duelist Kingdom?" Jounouchi straightened himself up a bit to respond properly to Honda.

"Yea, but I used most of it to pay for Shizuka's eye surgery. And the rest left over was put into savings accounts, trust bonds, college funds, and of course a party to celebrate Shizuka's healed eyesight." Everybody all face vaulted on how many ways Jounouchi used up the money, most peculiarly wise, and not in the usual personality of spending it all in buying a million packs of cards, and perhaps a mansion, complete with butlers.

"And after that, I only had 20 something bucks left. Spent it all on that gift for you, Anzu."

"O......kay..........And Yugi............uh........thanks, but next time you don't need to buy such a expensive gift for me. I'm not sure I deserve it....." Anzu put her fingers delicately on the wooden box, feeling the carved interiors, smooth and nicely polished with cherry.

"But Anzu, you do!!!!!!! You were my first friend before Jounouchi and Honda came along, plus all those times in elementary school and junior high, when I kept getting beat up........you helped me get through them." Yugi blushed immensely at what sap and affection had just came out of his mouth, and with Anzu's face, a slight scarlet was covering her cheeks.

"T-T-Thanks......I'll put it in a place at home where it won't break easily. Thanks.......again." She looked at the box again, before putting all the gifts into her black leather schoolbag.

"Free period is over. Go to your next classes, and don't make such a racket during this period ever again, or I'll assign you work during the time. Especially you, Mr. Katsuya." Mrs. Sakuya, then boring her pale orange eyes onto the back of Jounouchi's head, making everybody sweatdrop; it just seemed right at the moment.

Everybody steadily picked up their things and schoolbags, uniforms brushing against one another. Jounouchi immediately skipped out of the hot and baking room, along with Yugi trailing after Honda, with Anzu carrying her schoolbag rather slowly. Her textbooks, she carried with her left hand, which she couldn't put back into her bag, or else she risked breaking the precious jewelry box. Walking, thoughts of Yugi's gift crept into her mind.

'What jewelry should I put in the box? Everything, or just the earrings and the necklaces? It should fit them, I hope. Yugi did so much to buy it for me! So-' She felt herself smacking into something, breaking her thoughts, resulting in falling textbooks landing flat onto the floor.

"What the- Oh I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going, and........" And raising her big, brilliant blue eyes to see the person she was giving her apology to, it was...........Seto.

"Uh, uh..........." Anzu didn't know what to say. Seto was already her enemy, and now things were even more weirder between the two.

Seto looked as cold as before, but there was something different about him. It was clear in his frowning sapphire eyes. Kneeling down, he picked up all of her books, and simply held them out in front of her, motioning her to take it.

'He's........actually helping me???' Confused, Anzu didn't know what to say or do. She felt nervousness taking over her mind.

"Are you two going to leave for your class? You do know I'm going to have a class here in a few minutes." Mrs. Sakuya could be seen with her bony, frail hands on her weak hips.

"Al right." Taking her books out of his hands, she muttered a thank you to Seto, and quickly ran out of the room. Math was next and whoever was late to it was offered quizzes for all of the next week.

'Why did I help her, of all people? I can't control this feeling in me. Maybe a few more hours at work will help drive it out of my head.' Walking to Math, schoolbag in right hand, left hand in his shirt pocket, he frowned even more.



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The school bell rang, signaling end of the school day. The bright, blazing sun had barbecued the asphalt sidewalk, and the many objects outside.

"They should really get better a.cs'. I was sweating the whole time in science!!" Jounouchi had taken off his blue uniform shirt, revealing a white t-shirt, outside. Beads of sweat was seen on his face, neck and etc. Bakura, who had joined the merry chatter, was laughing at a joke that Honda made, making Anzu smile.

"Bakura, you hardly laugh. You should laugh some more. Really brightens up your personality." Anzu had rolled up her sleeves, and fanned herself with her hand. Good thing for lockers. She dumped all those heavy textbooks in there, and was cherishing the lightness of her left arm.

"You think?"

"Yeah!!"

"Hey Anzu, this is where we go off. Bye!! And bring those notes for history!!! I can't fail another history quiz, especially the last one of the year!!" Yugi, was weirdly enough, unfazed by the heat wave, still having on his shirt unlike the other boys.

"Al right!!!!!!! Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Walking across the street, rather than going down the same street, as her friends were, her thoughts turned back to the jewelry box, how nice it looked, where she was going to put it, and etc, etc.

'Yugi is one of the greatest friends in the world!!!!!!! But why did he help me........Seto, the world's most ignorant man in Japan.........why??' Thoughts swirled around in her head, the what-if reasons why her friend's adversary had helped her. Confusion ran over her head again, turning her smile into a depressing, grim look.

'Maybe I'll find out the reason tomorrow.......' And she walked slowly home, the traffic lights turning to "don't walk", as she reached the other side.
