Chapter 12



'I hurt her.......what was I expecting?? For her to accept that kiss?????????? Hmmph, she hated me since Duelist Kingdom!!!' Wistfully looking at the polished cherry-oak bathroom door that Anzu had disappeared into, mentally cursing at himself in anyway possible, Seto solemnly climbed down the hallway stairs. He had no business to be here anymore. A flash of violet-blue trenchcoat flurried after Seto, as he slammed the front door shut.

He scowled most unusually. The rain had left everything in a muddy mess, puddles glistening in the sun and a hazard for joggers and sports lovers alike.

'Stupid pathetic world........'

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

Door squeaking open, a bleary-eyed, red-faced Anzu peeked out into the magenta carpeted hallway. Seeing no sign of Seto anywhere, she stepped out of the bathroom, ultimately done with crying and feeling sorry for herself. Well, not yet finished with pitying herself, but at least her tears had stopped damaging the delicate skin on her cheeks.

'At least he left........Baka Seto......how in the world did he got up the nerve to kiss me like that?! Knows perfectly well that I don't have the slightest interest in him and I think he's the most repulsive thing slash guy on this planet!!!!!!!!' Curling up her fingers to form a fist, all Anzu wanted was to punch the filthy rich CEO as hard as she can and knock the living daylights. She didn't have a single bit of Jounouchi's gangster-like habits, but this was Seto Kaiba.

'God, I wish he would just drop dead!!!'

At Yugi's bedroom.......

"Rule number one, Yugi: if you want to have Anzu go out with you, you must practice.......-" Turning his voice into a eerie moan, Jounouchi finished the sentence. "-THE PHONE CALL. Now this is the first step to....."

Fidgeting on his seat on his bed, Yugi hadn't expected Jounouchi's help to be like this. He hadn't really expected dating to be this complex and confusing; after all he had watched Jounouchi go on numerous dates and it didn't really seemed that difficult. But maybe it was because it was Anzu; his best friend from childhood. Maybe.

"Hello!!!!!!! Are you listening to me, Yugi??? I thought you were so desperate to get a date with Anzu!!!!!!!! I guess you're not as interested in her as I thought you were......" Waving his palm at his friend's zonked out face, Yugi immediately snapped out of his thoughts, attentive and once again ready to learn the rules of dating. Grinning one of his usual goofy grins, Jounouchi once more went on about rule one.

"Well, the phone call is the base you'll need to establish a date with a girl. For example, 'Hey Hitome, you busy or anything Saturday night? Want to go on a date with me?' See, cool and suave just like that. Now, pretend I'm Anzu. Practice it on me."

"WHAT?? You never said it'll be like this!!!!!" Yugi was definitely going to back out on this now. Imaging himself even saying one word in Jounouchi's "suave" tone was hard to see and grasp. The most likely image of a phone call to Anzu was him blushing and turning red like a tomato, while he stuttered and stammered through "going on a date" and Anzu not getting a single thing and just plain hanging up on him.

"You said you wanted my advice and you're going to going to ask Anzu out on a date. Now pretend!!"

"Fine, fine......" Closing his eyes shut so Anzu would appear perfectly in his mind and instead of being a mix between golden-blond haired Anzu or Jounouchi with wide cerulean eyes and wearing a skirt, Yugi's mind tried to form the perfect pick-up line.

"Uh, Anzu........do you want to......are you available for.......can you......willyougoonadatewithmeAnzu!!!!!!" Opening his lavender-dark violet eyes, Jounouchi had crossed his arms, a peculiar cross between a grin and a frown etched across his lips.

"You know what......let's go back to the phone call later. RULE NUMBER TWO: picking out the right clothes."

Pulling on his school uniform, the number one outfit Yugi was most oftenly seen in, whether it was at Duelist Kingdom or going out to hang out with his friends, he made a face.

"What's wrong with my school uniform?"

"What's WRONG?? WHAT'S WRONG???!! Sure Yugi, you may be comfortable wearing that to everywhere you go, but you have to look nice and presentable for your date!! Wearing your school uniform symbolizes that you are cheap and can't afford to look nice for a girl!!!!!!" Running to Yugi's closet door, Jounouchi flung the door wide open, and rummaging through immaculately ironed clothes on hangers, picked out a sleeveless black shirt; the same one that Yugi had picked out for Yami on the day of his date with Anzu.

"Why don't you wear this, Yugi? It makes a good impression and makes you look a bit taller."

"Why don't I just change into Yami? Saves me the time for buying stilts." Muttering to himself, as Yugi looked over the shirt, only once been worn.

"And pants......got any jeans?"

About to reply "one" but decided against it as Jounouchi already picked it out of the closet, as usual, straight out flat and pressed.

"Now you got an outfit!!!!!!" Dumping the articles of clothing on the bed right next to Yugi, Jounouchi yet again, continued on droning out the rules for dating.

"Rule number three: where ya going to take your date to?"

That's easy: the movies first, then Burger Farm."

Eyeing Yugi quizzically, Jounouchi plopped down on the bed right next to him.

"Hmm......are you sure?"

"What's so wrong with Burger Farm?"

"Remember, Anzu got fired for being too young to work there, so I don't really think she'll appreciate the fact that her future boyfriend took her there for their first date."

Getting a flashback about Anzu in tears one school day when she found out she was fired, Yugi tried to think about some other fast food establishment proven ideal for a date. None came out.

"Yugi......you need some serious help in romance and dating. But don't worry, I'll help you with all those things!!!!!!!!"

"Yeah?" Standing up from the full-sized bed, Yugi stuck out his pinkie; the way promises were made in the elementary school days.

"Yeah." Linking both pinkies, they spat on both thumbs and mush the saliva together, but which after a few seconds pulled away and rubbed the disgusting mixture off on their shirts.
