Hiyo! Well, Read and review because this is the last chapter of the story!
Back track:"Come on girl, time to dress up!" Mai said, shutting the door and locking it. Anzu rolled herself off the bed and stood up. "We're going to make this a night to remember!"
Anzu nearly tripped at the words. "Yeah," She said bitterly. "We are."
Well, time to go! Ja!
)(
"Would you three hurry up!" Joey roared, pounding on the hotel door. The sky in New York was dark, yet it seemed like everyone was just waking up. Cars were still out on the street and everything was lit with lights.
"Oh just go already, Joey!" Mai yelled back. She was fixing her hair. The next room door opened and closed at the boys left the girls. "Oh hush, Joey!" Mai said as they heard Joey mutter something. Anzu sat on the bed, staring out into the sky. She was dreading going to the dance, for Seto would be there. Anzu thought of every single plan there was. Either way, it ended up in Malik hating her or Seto telling the whole world. There was only one possible option for her to have one last hope with Malik. Anzu stood up and took a deep breath. Serenity smiled at her. She was wearing a silky faded pink dress with her hair strightened out.
"You look so pretty, Anzu." She said. Anzu smiled at her.
"Thanks. You look stunning yourself."
Mai turned around, turning off the straighting iron. She was wearing a puffy lavender dress with a large necklace. He hair was amazingly straight and thin. "Let's go, I bet Joey isn't waiting for us." Sure enough, the boys were long gone. A limo sat in the drive way, waiting for them. "Check this out."
"Who brought it?" Serenity asked.
"Who cares!" Mai said, climbing in. Anzu and Serenity followed her lead. The limo drove straight to a museum. A red carpet was rolled out and everything was glowing. The door opened and the girls stepped out, sucking in everything for memories. The girls thanked a man as he opened the door for them. Inside, slow music was sang by four girls and people were dancing. there was an array of food by the walls and everyone was in formal wear. Girls had puffy, twirling, floating dresses while the men had tuxedos on. "Check it out! This is like Cinderella!"
Sure enough, people entered the dance room by walking down the stairs, so everyone could stop and look at them at the stairs. The girls could spot the guys standing around. Isis was talking to Malik, who was ignoring her. Seto was in the corner, waiting for something...or someone. Anzu gulped. "Is it me or did the room get stuffier? I think I'll wait outside." Anzu said, but Mai was already shoving her to walk down the stairs first. Anzu glared at Mai, who was walking down with Serenity. Everyone below was looking up. Anzu froze, Seto was smirking, and Malik was still ignoring Isis and watching Anzu. Anzu was wearing a black floating dress with off-shoulder silk straps. Her hair was set into a messy bun and she was wearing anklets that gave a light ringing when she stepped. Anzu gracefully walking down the steps, where Malik and Isis joined her. Joey and Tristan tagged along, meeting Mai and Serenity.
"You look gorgeous!" Isis complimented.
"Thanks. Isis, we need to talk later." Anzu said. Isis nodded and left Malik to take over. Anzu smiled at him. "Hi."
"Hi." He said, his voice was high pitched and he had to cough to bring it back to normal. "You look nice."
"Nice?!" Anzu joked, placing on a fake shocked face. She laughed as Malik looked bewildered. "You look very nice yourself."
"Dance?" Malik asked. Anzu smiled even wider, enjoying herself. She nodded and Malik led her to the dance floor. "Now, how do we dance."
Anzu stared at Malik for a moment. "Oh boy. She mumbled, delighted at how mad Malik looked. "Okay, place this hand on my waist." Malik placed his right hand on Anzu's waist while Anzu placed her right hand on his shoulder. Their left hands clasped together.
"I got it." Malik said. Anzu nodded and let Malik lead. Anzu was in total bliss, and the song was going right along with her feelings.
"I never ment to do this to you,
I truely understand my feelings now
I would take back what I did
but for now I just want to dance with you." Malik let go to Anzu's hand and placed it on her waist, Anzu linked her arms around Malik's next and rested her head on his shoulder. She could feel Malik rest his chin on her own shoulder. His breath tickled her skin. Anzu felt Malik shoulder's relax and his breathing was calm.The song went on forever, and the couple was glad. When it finally did ended, though, Anzu clapped for the preformers and turned to look at Malik. He was holding his stomach, looking at Anzu for permission to go. Anzu laughed, until Seto caught her eyes. He was head towards them, he was in a tux as well.
"Listen, go find yourself some food! I'll be right back!" Anzu said hastily, remembering her plan. She gave Malik a quickly kiss before pushing him towards the food table and powerwalking to Isis.
"Hey, enjoying yourself?" Isis asked. Anzu pulled her off to the side, where she was sure they wouldn't be easdropped over.
"Isis, I can't do this." Anzu said, but was inturrupted as Seto sauntered her way.
"Ishtar, Mazaki." He greeted, his 'I'm-going-to-enjoy-this' look on. Anzu groaned.
"Seto, you can't do this!" Anzu said rather loudly, causing people to look.
"Can't I?" Seto said, smirking. Isis looked confused as ever.
"What's going on?!" She asked.
"None of your concerns." Seto said. The four girls on the stage were looking at the three, still singing. "Tell me, Anzu, why I shouldn't tell him right now."
"Because!" Anzu argued. Isis still looked confused as ever.
"Wha-"
"He knows about YOUR plan!" Anzu explained swiftly, just as the whole gang was arriving. The four girls singing had stopped. Anzu groaned. This wasn't her plan. Malik and Yugi both got involved.
"Anzu!" Yugi said, but it came out as Yami's voice. Malik cut his eyes at Yami.
"Stay out of it, Pharaoh." Malik said.
"Anzu is my friend." Yami objected, placing his arm around Anzu for comfort.
"It's alright, Ishtar." Seto sneered. "It would be better for everyone to hear about this."
Anzu dug her face in Yami's arms, praying to Kami that he would say something other then THAT. "What are you talking about, Kaiba!" Joey asked, glaring daggers at him. Seto crossed his arms and closed his eyes for the longest of times. "Well?!" Joey asked, impacient with everything.
"Don't worry, Anzu." Seto said, addressing her. "I won't tell them about how you suduced Malik so you can turn him into a 'perfect gentleman'." He smirked. "Unless it slips."
Anzu couldn't hold in her cries, she started to sob on Yami's tuxedo as she felt everyone's eyes drift on her.
"What?!" Malik said slowly. Bakura, who was rather drunk, grinned.
"Finally! Something entertaining!" Everyone stared at the drunken Bakura, until Malik walked up to him and punched him in the face.
"Malik!" Anzu and Isis managed to cry outloud. Malik gave Isis a rabid look, settling her down. Then he turned to Anzu, glaring with all the hate he let loose.
"Don't 'Malik' me, Mazaki!" He roared, making Anzu jump. Two rather large teardrops landed on the floor. "You probably think this is damn funny, huh? To make me turn to a fool like that! You ass!"
"Malik!" The boys said. Seto was no where to be found. Malik stormed off, over throwing the table of food and pushing people out of his way. Anzu sank to the gound, watching as the hems of Malik's jacket disappeared into the halls. Isis and Mai hurried over to her.
"It's not funny." Anzu whispered as her dress was dampen with her tears.
)(
"I say it's all Kaiba's fault! That son of a-"
"Shut up, Joey!" Anzu stared at the neon lights from her bedroom. When they arrived back home, Malik and his stuff was gone, along with his car. Anzu went stright to the room she once shared with Malik and wasn't disturbed at all. Anzu sat up and entered the next room. Everyone looked at her, until Isis finally ushered her to sit down. Anzu stiffly sat down next to her.
"Anzu," Isis started out. "I'm so sorry for putting you into this. If I knew you actually liked him....I should have never tried to change him."
"Don't change him." Anzu said softly, clutching on to a pillow Yugi handed her. "I like him the way he is."
Everyone was silent for the moment. "He's not THAT bad." Joey finally admitted. Mai nodded.
Isis gave Anzu a tight hug. "Don't worry, I know he'll forgive us."
"Us?" Anzu asked.
"I can't let you take all the blame." Isis said. Anzu smiled at her.
"Thanks." Joey grinned.
"Screw what you guys say, we're getting room services!"
)(
"Please help me welcome our 2006 valedictorian and presentor of deplomas, Anzu Mazaki!"
"GO ANZU!" Anzu smiled at her friends, who hooted. Mai, Serenity, and Isis were at the sidelines, waving their hands and taking pictures.
"Thank you." Anzu said as the clapping lowered down. "Through out my years at Domino High School, I learned a great deal. I learned in education, friendship, hard work, and even in love. So I say to you, class of 2006, take what you can learn, love, and cherish now. It will pass you faster then you can grab it. I know what I have gain from these years will help me, one way or another. Now, enough of my talking. Go out into the world, class, and show it what you got!"
"YEAH! THAT'S MY FRIEND RIGHT THERE!" Joey yelled. Anzu searched through the crowds. Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and finally Malik. He was staring right back at Anzu, who was startled at first. Anzu started to call out the names, pausing to people in crowd could holler and hoot.
"Bakura, Ryou!" Anzu said. Ryou, who Anzu guess Bakura let him have a moment to light, smiled and hugged Anzu before walking off stage. The list went on, until Anzu stared at the next name she was to call. "Ishtar, Malik."
Malik saunted on to the stage, carelessly shaking the princpal's hand and then taking his dimploma.
"I'm sorry." Anzu whispered. Malik just looked at her and Anzu bowed her head.
"THAT AIN'T RIGHT, MAN!" Joey was shoved down by a teacher. Anzu could tell Mai was hiding her face at the moment. Malik started to move on. 'Make your move already, Anzu!' Anzu thought. 'You better do something quick before you lose your chance!'
"Wait." Malik turned around with a blank face. Anzu hugged him tightly. 'I might as well save this moment now.' Anzu could hear Malik's heart rate speed up, but netherless his hand's wrapped around Anzu. "I'm sorry."
"This won't happen again, right?" Malik asked. Anzu nodded her head against Malik's chest.
"YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Malik and Anzu set apart to see Isis hollering like a mad woman. Malik sighed and went on his way. Anzu continued to call names, smiling widely.
"Mutou, Yugi." Little Yugi shook hands and nearly ran to Anzu. They hugged and Anzu handed him his dimploma. "Good job, Yugi."
"You too, Anzu!" Yugi sqeaked before grinning and running off.
"Taylor, Tristan." Anzu called, and then finally: "Wheeler, Joey."
Both Tristan and Joey hugged Anzu and ran off. Anzu went back to her place seated with the other honorary students while the principal took the stage. "Class of 2006, you have now passed Domino High School!"
)(
Anzu walked around the large center, clutching her own diploma. So far, no sign of Malik or Yugi. She passed a large family before she heard the crys of what can only be her friends. "CHECK IT OUT, BABY! MY HIGH SCHOOL DIMPLOMA!"
"JOEY!" Anzu cried. A circle of friends opened up as Anzu ran towards them. Infront of her, Malik was smirking. Anzu slowed her pace as she arrived.
"We'll leave you two alone for a moment." Isis said, smiling proudly. She ushered everyone away as Anzu smiled at Malik. They hugged.
"What gave you such a change of mind?" Anzu asked.
"Nothing. Does something always have to bribe me?" Malik asked. Anzu nodded and laughed as Malik nearly sqeezed the air out of her. Anzu sank into Malik's arms.
"I love you." Malik pressed his lips against Anzu's, who did nothing to stop it. His lips were warm and soft, Anzu slightly nibbled on his lower lip.
"AWWW!" Anzu and Malik broke apart to see their group of friends watching them. Mai was clutching on to Joey, a starry look in her eyes. Ryou changed into Bakura and was glaring at the soft group.
"I love you, too." Malik said quietly as they joined up with the group. Joey grinned.
"I say it's time for celebration!"
"YEAH!" Everyone stared at Serenity, who became over excited but joined in with her. Everyone exited the graduation, walking out with a diploma and leaving behind a forgotten event.
)(
Weee, Review please! Ja!
