Chapter 7
"Mokuba, I'm home!! Mokuba??" Jamming his keys into his key holder at the front door hallway, Seto looked into the gigantic living room, with every light on at its brightest level and Mokuba sound asleep on the white velvet sofa. His bodyguard was sitting on the end of the sofa, Mokuba's feet barely touching him, reading today's newspaper. The guy looked up into the usual frowning, stern face of his employer.
"Mr. Kaiba, your brother had finished all his assigned homework, taken his daily bath and watched his television. However he fell asleep during a movie on pay-per-view. Shall I take my leave, now?" Folding up his newspaper and putting it into his black suit pocket, Seto put down his huge metal briefcase and black leather schoolbag down onto the ground, creating a thud.
"Go."
"Al right. And according to the phone calls received here today, you have 13 applicants for secretary." The curly haired bodyguard stood up rather primly, and walked to the front door, opening it with a squeak, and shutting it quietly.
Wiping the sweat forming at his forehead, Seto walked over to his brother's side. The 10-year old looked peaceful and happy, a slight giggle coming out of him. Perhaps his dream was as pleasant as he looked. Patting his kid brother's head, he smiled. Mokuba was lucky. At least he didn't had to deal with complicated feelings including girls on his archenemy's side. And besides, Seto had to figure out his feelings that his stupid heart was dishing out to his head. Why WAS he acting so queer around Anzu? She hadn't done nothing but brought him bad memories of his past.
'My heart simply craves something from her. But maybe it'll soon die down; people always have phases like these. It's going to be the same with me.'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"I still can't believe that Yugi will give me something that's so beautiful!!!!!!! I'll just have to try to buy him a gift just as nice, when his birthday comes up. Which is in a few months." Anzu was in her room, on the magenta-red carpeted floor, looking at the jewelry box. She hadn't opened it yet; she just wanted to marvel in its beauty for a few minutes. All of her jewelry was placed in a huge pile right beside it, plus the shirt that Jounouchi and Shizuka gave her, and Honda's dancing book in another pile.
'Hmm........Maybe I should wear the black t-shirt tomorrow. Tuesday's Casual Day!!!!!!!!!! And I'll save Honda's dancing book for night reading.' Looking at the forlorn jewelry, then at the box, she decided to just put it in right now. It was no use waiting for the perfect moment to store stuff, when she still need time to find some kind of high empty shelf to put the jewelry box away. So playing with the latch for a second, Anzu lifted the lid, and her face was full of absolute shock for the second time today. There was a.........sapphire necklace in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"What the!!!!!!!????????" Holding the necklace with her hands, eyes scanning the silver neckline, with a smoothed sapphire hanging from it. She just couldn't believe it. Yugi also went all the way to give her this too. Glimpsing at the opened box, there was a yellow post-it stuck on the bottom, with a note scribbled on it.
"Huh??" Taking the post-it, she looked at it, and read it out loud to herself.
"Anzu, that sapphire necklace I got for you matches your personality and your beautiful eyes. Your personality, calm as the ocean's tides at the morning, serene, and the thing that gives life. Without you, I would have been still sad about my unknown identity, and I would have given up already on the topic. But you, you encouraged me to go out there, and try; at least try to find out something about myself. And I did. But in my time, we didn't have birthdays, so we couldn't shower the person with appreciation at their unknown strength. So I was glad to hear of your birthday from Yugi. Happy birthday. -Yami" (I'm referring from the manga about that, yami got really sad about not knowing who the heck he was, so yugi set him up on a date with anzu, and she said to him to never give up and that kind of stuff)
She was completely overwhelmed. Anzu never knew he still remembered that embarrassing set up. She did like him back then still, but the only reason she did it was for Yugi, plus she wanted to see him personally by herself, without her other friends always crowding around him. He wore a weird get- up of a black sleeveless shirt, with loads of imitation gold bracelets on both wrists, his usual Millenium Puzzle around a chain, and black pants. Yami said that Yugi was the one that came up with the outfit, and so early in the morning, too.
'He's giving THIS to me as a present?? And so beautiful..........' Taking the necklace, she put it around her neck, and clipped close the tiny lock that kept the necklace from falling from her neck. Anzu held up the gem between her thumb and index finger, sparkling different hues of blue.
'Yugi and Yami are definitely the most generous people around. I just wish Yami and me were still on that date. Though it WAS humiliating at first, but then it got to be so much fun!!!!!!!!!! And I did show that pervert Johnny that he can't mess with me!!!!!!' (during the date, anzu took yami to this mall, and there was this guy named johnny, who claims he is the dance master at that dance game, when you gotta step on those squares and dance. Anzu went to challenge him, but if she lost, she gotta come over to his place, and she won of course)
'Oh Yami, I wished you liked me..........' Even when he gave her a supposedly expensive necklace, she knew deep in her heart that he'll never like her that way. He wouldn't dare try to jeopardize their friendship. And it hurt her so much to know that. Now she had depressed herself, and it was her birthday of all days!!!!!! She should be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I should forget about liking Yami, but I just can't. I know I'll just hurt myself in the process, but it's impossible!!! I can't forget about him as a crush!!!!!!!! He helped me during that time that thief try to kill me in that warehouse, and he helped me many times after that!!!!!!!! I just can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Luckily for her, her parents had gone on a business trip to the States, so she wouldn't be asked embarrassing questions about talking to herself and how's her imaginary friend, and etc. The gem still gleamed in her face, rocking back and forth little swings across her neck, but Anzu didn't feel in the mood to be happy that she got such a great gift.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Next day, or Tuesday, more specifically........
"Ohayo, Yugi!!!!!!!!!!!" (ohayo means good morning) She was in ten minutes early today, so Anzu didn't have relive that same experience of running all the corridors again.
"Ohayo..........Anzu????????" Yugi looked at his friend, amazed at how good she looked. Her black t-shirt, and jean capris were certainly a fashion statement that the other girls were all whispering to one another. He had been playing around with his Millenium Puzzle a bit before she came here, so his little fingers were still on the shining gold surface.
"So Yugi, you like my outfit? Jounouchi's shirt look so good on me!!!!!!!!! I should definitely take Shizuka with me whenever I go shopping!!!!!!" Smiling, it just made the boy blush hues of red. Having forgotten Seto that sat on the desk left of hers, he was as usual, reading his ever-so- entertaining book. But instead of wearing the boy's school uniform on Causal Tuesday, he was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and an exceptionally long white vest. (all you people who watched the whole japanese version of yugioh, you know the outfit) And his attention was now to the two best friends that were chatting right beside him. Eavesdropping was not his thing, but Seto couldn't help it when Anzu talked to her friends. Especially Game King, and little Chihuahua.
"Y-Y-Yeah.........Shizuka does have nice taste in clothes." There was tension in Yugi's voice, causing stuttering and weird remarks.
Dumping her schoolbag on her desk, Anzu gracefully sat down onto her seat, her eyes once again focused on the sapphire necklace around her neck for the tenth time this morning. Lifting the necklace up to eye level, she surveyed its small details; one, its little cuts between the many melded grains of silver, two, its seemingly ancient look, which made it look like an antique. Seto, again passing a look at Anzu's direction, noticed the necklace she held neatly between her fingers, and his face silently fumed with fury.
'How did she get a necklace like that!!!!??????? Those must have cost like $3000 in value!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She couldn't have bought it herself; otherwise she would have wearing rags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' His mind pondering theories on how that necklace came to be on her, Yugi was looking at Anzu, rather in a daze.
'She must have discovered Yami's present in the box. His gifts could always top mine.' Even with that worry tugging at his heart, he still grinned. Anzu would only be sad if she saw him like this, and he didn't want to see her in a sad mood.
"So Anzu, what you think about Yami's present?" Anzu averted her gaze to him, her sea blue eyes saying happy.
"I love it!! Give my thanks to him!!" And that was when something in Seto's mind snapped.
'YAMI!!????????? That freaking bastard!!!!!!!! But why should I be mad about all this? She's just a mindless cheerleader. That's it. I have no apparent feelings for her. And even if I do, what can I expect from her? She's never going to have feelings for me, cause I'm just an ignorant recluse to her, that's what I am!!!!!' His heart was breaking in the inside, but Seto made no reason for it to spill into the public or accept it.
'Yeah, I'm just an outcast. An outcast in the face of society.'
A/N: This was my most crappiest chapter I ever wrote. Well, with the exception with chap 1, but it's still crappy, anyway. But still r/r and no flames, while I go spit out chap 8 with my horrible writing scribbled on it. ugh...... And please send me ideas/plots for my request fic. Open suggestions until 8/12!!!!!!! Best idea chosen and written up.
Last chap, I left off with anzu thinking why the heck did seto helped her with her books, after that argument by the bridge, 3 days ago.
