Beginner's Note: Hello, a thousand apologies for not updating sooner. But with spring break coming up, I'll have all the time I need to update!!!!! ^___^ I'm guessing some people had noticed I didn't update any of my other fanfics. Well, just to let you guys know, I'm planning to finish this fic first, then continue on the other ones. Judging from how far I had progressed in Untitled Love's storyline, this ficcie will end pretty soon. Arigato to all those readers that managed to give me extra time just to review my first fanfiction. I couldn't express my joy and delight any better. And to answer some reviewers' questions:

Jenny: 0_0 Okay....I don't want to insult you, but if you read the summary of this fic, you can see it says love triangles at the end. Now, the coupling could lean either way, but I'm more partial to seto/anzu, if I do say so myself.

Kiko: Please don't kill me for the fact that this chapter took a whole month to upload.

Hoshiko: OMG, I would LOVE to see that episode aired in the US!!!!!! I just hope they don't change the dialogue too much.

Anzu Mazaki: You will find out what happens to Yugi and Anzu in this chapter. I have to say Seto's really shocked there.

Kari: At the end of this chapter, I'm planning to have the reviewers vote on what couple they want for this fic. Seto/Anzu, or Yugi/Anzu. PLEASE VOTE!!!

Englasu: I love your seto/anzu fics like crazy, though I find them too angsty at times. Don't worry, the suspense is about to broken in this chapter!!

Lynderia: Yeah....Does anybody else think I should add more Yami jealousy?

Fantasizer: I'm glad to know that people are still reading my fic. ^_^; Even after all the hiatuses I put everyone through.

Ami Mizuno: Thanks for the compliment!! I never knew I'd had it like this when I started writing fanfiction.

Chapter 15

It was exactly as time froze on him. The figures of Yugi and Anzu whirled about in this mind, threatening to drive Seto to a state of insanity if he stood there any longer.

'Maybe it's just a hallucination- yeah, just an hallucination of some sort.' Blinking his sapphire eyes, the image of the two still resided there; laughing and having a good time while taking a bite into their California rolls. It was a nightmare that Seto feared most- HIS Anzu with his archrival, Yugi Mutou. If it were just Jounouchi and Anzu, he would indeed tolerate it, as Jounouchi wasn't the kind to hit on his friends and it would take an extreme double dare for him to attempt that.

But Yugi.

Seto gritted his teeth, the screeching noise telling all that came near him his frustrations and anger. Yugi had have a crush on Anzu since their elementary days, and though he was one of the most docile and gentlest people one might meet, he was willing to fight for anything he wanted and in this case, it was Anzu.

'I'll show him.....'

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

Back At the Restaurant....

At that eerily same moment that Seto had discovered the tri-colored haired boy and 5'5 girl, the two had felt chills circulating around in their bodies, bringing forth minutes of absolute silence before Yugi broke it.

"Anzu.......I feel like somebody's watching us.....Do you?......"

Looking around in all directions for signs of the peeping culprit, Anzu's conscience had become a sign of activity and fear, as her cerulean eyes shifted between groups and individuals walking about the street, obviously looking for a good time. Then there were some that looked desperate for a date at this time of night. Her eyes immediately honed in to Seto standing around the corner of the restaurant, lying back against the brick wall in a thought that couldn't be disturbed even with a mob of people telling him to move out of the way. What was HE doing here???

'SETO!!!......What's going on here??'

"Anzu! It's al right, I don't feel the chills anymore. It's probably just a couple of neighborhood kids wanting to throw sticks at us. And you must have scared them off when you started looking around like that. I would be, too, if I were one of them." Blinking at Yugi's naivete, as Anzu's eyes slowly parted away from Seto's body, (whoa, not that way, people!!) her right hand sought after the fork she had dropped onto the carpeted table when Yugi had mentioned the chills, and brought it down to her California rolls.

"Yeah, Yugi......I guess......"

For the next 15 minutes at Tokyo Delights, conversation with Yugi was mostly on the "how's the weather" and everything tone. In other words: strained and extremely boring. Being uncomfortable from the presence of one of her worst enemies being right by her to antagonize and torture her, Anzu was desperate for escape. Food was choked down her throat in an alarmingly 3.5 minutes, not including the time it took to gulp down 3 full cups of spring water. People were staring at the two by now, but the girl simply didn't care. She rather had the world staring at her while doing her most embarrassing moment than be watched by the CEO of KaibaCorp.

"Anzu, are you okay? You seemed rather nervous. Do you want to go someplace else and get the check now?"

"Yea......can we stop by the park?? It's peaceful there....." Standing up in his full height of 5'0, Yugi watched Anzu's nervousness with perception as she went ahead to one of the nearby waiters, adorned in the restaurant's colors of chic blue and black, to get the bill for their food. Sighing, he found himself tapping into his mind link with Yami, wanting solace and comfort for his failed first date.

\\ Yami.....I'm so stupid!!! Why did I even bother asking Anzu on a date anyway??? \\

// Cause you were hopelessly in love with her. //

The sarcastic remark was weirdly tinged with hints of sadness as Yugi found out later going home, but it didn't matter to him right now as he was in too much pain to care about such things as Yami speaking in strange tones.

\\ Why can't love be more gentle to me??......This feeling.....If only.....\\

// Love is complicated, aibou. Either you get your love or you don't. It's all a game that some people had died trying. Don't worry. Anzu said she wants to go to the park, right? You still have a chance with her. //

Still have a chance with her.

But what about Yami- he, that had been waiting in the sidelines? How much more he can take of his aibou fawning over one of his friends? How MUCH more? The things he had just said rung clear as a bell, for it was him that suffering through what his other was feeling too.

Heartbreak. Utter heartbreak. (God, why don't I make this angst too, while I'm at it?)

\\ Thanks for your advice, Yami. It's some days I wonder why I don't like you that way. You're basically always there for me when I need it. I need to go now, talk to you later! \\ The mind link clicked off, leaving Yami with a bewildered look on his bishonen face, as he mulled over what Yugi just said to him.

It's some days I wonder why I don't like you that way.

At the Park (quickly, ain't it?)

'I can't believe this!!! Why would he watch me like this??? At least I got away from him, that's for sure. Maybe it's because of what happened.....yesterday. Jerk. Probably looking for more kisses to indulge in. I always knew somewhere inside he was a pervert.' Face curled over in thought, conveniently ignoring her date, Yugi trotted alongside her with concern drawn all over his face. Tapping her arm, the girl sprung to attention as her eyes now became focused on pools of lavender-violet.

"What is it, Yugi?"

"Anzu.....Is something bothering you? Because after that incident in Tokyo Delights you seem so.....distracted." As Anzu couldn't help but feel ashamed of having Yugi worry so incessantly over her, she sat herself on the nearest stray bench, wanting to give a chance for Yugi to talk to her. She was still not going to tell him of the events that had had happened between Seto and her; but perhaps she could strike up a conversation that'll be of interest to her friend, and maybe his feeling of being a failed date can be assuaged.

"Aren't the stars beautiful tonight? When I was young, I would used to try to reach out for them and maybe grasp them in my hands. But of course I know now that they could never be reached by bare hands." Pointing her azure eyes to the sky, Yugi did so too in unison, lavender-violet filled with the glow of the celestial stars.

"Yea.......Actually Anzu, every night before I go to sleep I would pray on a shooting star- and wished that I could have the courage to ask you out." Anzu's face was not in a shocked figure as one might expect from a girl who loved another, but rather a face of content and bliss appeared.

"Well Yugi, you got your wish."

A/N: hey, what do you think of this chappie??? Too much yugi/anzu isn't it? I realized that if this fic is really about a yugi/anzu/seto triangle, then I should put more stuff between yugi/anzu!! And where's seto??? Find out in the next chappie!!!!!!!!!! I want 7 reviews before going on to the next chappie!! And please vote for the couple of this fic!!!!!!! yugi/anzu or seto/anzu??? Ja ne!!!!
