A Melancholy Melody of a Maiden

Yay! Three more reviews. ^_^ And I'm so honored to be reviewed by Fox Spirit. After writing that really good story "Shattered," *cough*whichididn'tfinishreadingbecauseitwastoolong*cough* I feel so happy to be reviewed by her! And the one story, "Of Light and Darkness," you should update it because I really like it and it was getting so good. ^_^ I'm not sure about the comic thing... I'm not really a good drawer... I love drawing, but they all suck in my opinion. I see so many beautiful pictures and mine don't even compare... so yeah... I put myself down a lot... and I'm not too good in drawing different views... I'm just starting to do side views again. -_-U I forgot to say what song was on the last chapter. "Soyokaze no Sonachine" from MKR... it's Fuu's image song. So pretty! ^_^ I don't know what song is gonna be in this story... so... yeah... Hmmm... Yami Bakura is gonna be in this story... when Ryou gets really mad. But I don't know when that's gonna happen. I don't own the song in this chapter nor do I own Yuu-Gi-Oh.

"Why don't I what...?" Jounouchi repeated himself, having Anzu quiver in her seat.

-

'Here it comes...'

-

"I didn't hear what you say, all the loud gun sounds from the other day really gotten to my ears," Jounouchi smiled goofily.

The class fell over, as Anzu had a sweat drop on the side of her face. "It's nothing important!" Anzu said quickly, waving her hands in defense. 'He really scared me there...'

"Since you are awfully busy, Jounouchi-san, Anzu and I will do the research. After the research is finished, you can write it up," Ryou said, a smile across his face.

-

'When did know how to research things?'

-

"Alright. See ya week from now," Jounouchi said finally, going over to his friends.

"A week from now? Just who does he think we are?" 'Oh! He's even hotter when he's demanding like that!'

"Anzu... How do we research things?"

"We go online and research," Anzu answered, doodling a picture of Jounouchi.

"What's 'online'?"

"The internet... I'll show you when we get home. That jerk... expecting to do ALL the work. I doubt he'll even type it up," 'Ohh! I'll do ANYTHING he'll tell me!'

"FINALLY! School is over for today!" Anzu stretched, as she walked out of the building.

"But I was enjoying it too..." Ryou sighed, following his Mistress.

"You were ACTUALLY enjoying yourself in there?"

"Of course... Because I was with you all day!"

"Figure... Come on, we'll go home first so I can change and then go out shopping,"

"Why don't we go there now?"

"And wear THIS!?" Anzu said, her hands tugging on her school fuku.

"But.... It looks pretty on you,"

"I'm wearing a SKIRT and a PINK jacket! There's nothing pretty about that." Anzu turned around and began to walk home. "After shopping for your clothes, we're going to get something to eat,"

"What about our project?"

"We do that after we're finish eating. Now come on,"

Anzu and Ryou arrived home, only them in the empty house. The two went to Anzu's room. She grabbed an over-sized yellow sleeveless shirt, and blue baggy pants. "I'm going to change in the bathroom. Try to find something to wear in the closet, okay?" Anzu explained, her body halfway out the door. Ryou nodded, looking in her closet.

Finally entering the bathroom, Anzu peeled her fuku off of her. "why did I have to get caught wearing the boys' fuku?!" Anzu said to herself aloud. She placed the yellow shirt on her, which didn't fit her too bad, yet barely hung over her knees. She then took her blue pants and put them on, her feet buried under the material. "I should probably bring a lot of money with us, Ryou's going to need a lot of clothes... and I need a new pair of sneakers," Anzu gathered her fuku and left the bathroom. She arrived at her room's door, knocking on it. "Are you done, Ryou?"

"Yes," Ryou answered.

Anzu entered, her eyes widening as her fuku dropped to the ground. "Ryou..." Anzu said calmly, suppressing her anger.

"Yes Mistress?"

"What... are you doing in a GIRL'S KIMONO!?" Anzu stomped over to him, pulling off the material from his body. "You're not suppose to wear THIS! Heck, I don't even wear it!"

"But Mistress, you said I can wear whatever I want,"

"Boys don't wear this kind of stuff!"

"But... I have seen them wear the outfits you wear... aren't you suppose to wear what I'm wearing?"

Anzu became quiet. He was starting to sound like her parents. "That's because... I hate girl clothes. They make me feel like I'm trying so hard to impress someone... and I don't even look pretty in them. But you... shouldn't wear skirts. I'll pick out something nice for you to wear, alright?"

"Okay,"

Anzu froze, realizing what she was doing when she was angry. She remember taking off the kimono from Ryou... but didn't realized she stripped him almost naked. The only thing that kept him from being exposed was the clean boxers her father gave to him. Anzu blushed deeply, looking up and down at him. "I uh... I didn't mean to..." Anzu's words were caught at her throat, when she felt the boy's arms wrapping around her thin body. "Ryou... what are you doing...?"

"I wanted to hug you all day, Mistress. But couldn't since you would yell and hit me during school," Ryou explained softly, his breath giving a small tickle to her ears. "So this is to make up for it,"

"But Ryou..." Anzu sighed. 'At least put on some clothes..." Anzu didn't try to protest, since he would show her his innocent face, almost on the brink of crying.

He gave her a light squeeze, and released her. Anzu turned around quickly, knowing her blush would deepen if she started at the boy's body any longer. "There's a black and red T-shirt and black sweat pants hanging up, put those on."

"Yes Mistress," He began to look in the closet for the black and red T-shirt and the black pants. When he finally picked them out, he turned back to Anzu. "Mistress, sing another song..." he requested.

"Why do you always want me to sing? Not like I'm a good singer anyway..."

"I love hearing your voice, Mistress! It sounds so soothing and relaxing, and brings tranquility to me. Please sing... please.........?" He started to sniff, warning Anzu he was going to cry.

'Don't turn around... don't turn around...' Not listening to her mind, Anzu turned her head around, seeing the tears gathering up in his soft brown eyes, his lips turning into a sadden frown, his body still exposed... "O-o-o-okay..." Anzu stuttered, turning her blushed face around. 'What am I getting so worked up for...? Damn that cute face... and his chest... and..." Anzu shook her head, beginning to sing for the boy.

-

~Shining through the clouds above, this morning light

Straight into my chest, it approaches~

-

Ryou placed the shirt over his chest, his head swaying back and forth to her voice.

-

~The newborns are today's energy

My body is wrap and caress from it completely~

-

Anzu's chest throbbed, still pounding even when she sang. 'It hurts... as if it's going to come out any moment...'

-

~Although we may not meet, although I may be lonely

An important person is watching over me~

-

He place one leg in its respective place in the pants, then the other, pulling them up to his waist. Though, even for him, it hung loosely around his waist.

~Morning of prayers, how many can I bare?

Will true happiness finally come?~

-

'I wonder whatever Mistress sings... is true? Her words wrap around me so tightly, I don't know if I should believe them or not...'

-

~Morning of prayers, these shedding tears

Will certainly reach you someday I believe.~

-

As Ryou was finished getting dressed, Anzu was finished singing. "Your voice can bring wonders to so many, Mistress," Ryou said, walking up to her.

"I don't really like to sing... I'm more into dancing," Anzu replied, getting her money from her shelf.

"You sing to me though..."

"That's because you make me feel so guilty when you give me that look..."

"What look, Mistress?"

Anzu glared at him, then turned back to her shelf. "Yeah... pretend you don't know.." She grabbed the money and stuff it down her pocket. "Come on, let's go. The mall isn't too far from here,"

Ryou grasped onto her hand, and before Anzu could protest, his innocent smile spread across his face. 'And he acts SO naïve...'

"Are we almost there yet, Mistress?" Ryou asked again, his hand still clanging onto Anzu's.

"For the 80th time, YES!" Anzu yelled, her left eye twitching. "And don't call me that... when we're in public... call me Mazaki, okay?"

"What about Anzu?,"

"Just Mazaki..."

They arrived at Domino Mall, which was fairly big compared to others. They went inside, finding the outlet that Anzu shops in often. As they finally arrive, Anzu pulled the hat she wore down a bit further, then entered. Ryou followed, having the feeling of like a child, wanting to wander around the store. Before walking a foot away, Anzu grabbed the boy's collar. "Before going off, stay ONLY in the outlet. Pick out something you like and go in there," She pointed to a small room. "That's the fitting room. Pick out at least seven pair of pants and seven shirts, alright? I'm going to be over there. Understand?"

"Yes Mazaki," Ryou smiled, then wandered off in the store.

Anzu walked over to a section of clothes; which were over-sized shirts and pants. "Maybe getting a couple of outfits wouldn't hurt... then I can get some new sneakers." Anzu said to herself as she picked out a couple pair of pants and shirts.

"Mazaki! How do I look in this?" Ryou cried, grabbing a few other people attention.

Anzu swallowed hard, her face turning into a deep blush. "Ryou... isn't it a little... tight?" Anzu said, trying to peer her eyes away from the boy. The black leather clung tightly around his chest and legs, the physique of a slightly muscular man. 'Maybe that's why Shizuka likes Yami so much...'

"No, it actually feels quite nice. I really like the feel of this material too,"

Anzu glanced around the room, feeling quite jealous of the men looking at him in fondness. Of course, why would she feel jealous anyway? Seeing girls hanging over Jounouchi was enough to pull out their hair, but seeing Ryou's appearance grabbing the attention from others did hit a nerve. "Well... if it makes you feel comfortable... I guess I can spend a fortune on leather outfits I don't even get for myself..."

"Thank you Mazaki!" Ryou hugged Anzu, squeezing her tightly. Anzu smirked sinisterly, as if saying 'He's all mine, so take your asses else where.' The others went on with their shopping, as Ryou released his Mistress from his hold. "Can I wear these home?"

"Well... I have to pay for them. You can change back into them when we pay, alright?"

"Okay,"

Ryou went back in the changing room, and came back in the garments he wore. He handed the her the other outfits, which happened to be leather as well, to Anzu. She gave both her sneakers which she picked while Ryou was changing, a couple of outfits for herself and Ryou's clothes to the clerk. Anzu handed him the yen, still upset about how much everything was costing her. 'Good thing I saved up my money from my other job before I was fired...'

After paying for everything, Anzu lead Ryou to the nearest bathroom for him to change. She blushed again, seeing him in his leather outfit. "Well... guess we can go somewhere to eat now," Anzu said, walking through the small crowd.

"MAZAKI!" a voice called out.

Both Anzu and Ryou looked up, seeing the owner of the voice. He was tall, and it was obvious by his appearance that he wasn't at all Japanese. He jumped down from the flight of stairs, landing safely before the two. "Mistress, who is that?" Ryou whispered quietly to Anzu.

"Johnny, what do you want now?" Anzu asked, not wanting to deal with the man before her.

"I want a re-match from before! I'm sure I can beat you!"

'Is he... demanding to fight my Mistress!?' "No! You will not harm Mazaki!" Ryou cried out, his voice sounding very serious. He stood in front of her, protecting her from the stranger.

"Ryou, it's alright. I can beat him..."

"But, the hands of a man can surely harm you! I won't let you get hurt!" Ryou whispered to her, the fright of his Mistress getting beaten scared him.

"But the feet of a woman can defeat any man that comes her way,"

'Please Mistress, I will kill myself if he injure you in any way...' ~

Oh no! Anzu is going to battle with a man named Johnny! Will he defeat her? (probably not...) Will Ryou really kill himself if she is wounded? (heck no) Or will Baka shut up and update soon? (yeah!) My chapters keep getting shorter and shorter... maybe it's because the story is still in development. Oh! I'm finally gonna get my hair done! Whoo-Hoo! Tomorrow, I'mma get it done in cornrolls going straight back, and some on the side. FINALLY! I've been waitin I don't know how many months to get something NEW done to my nappy head! My mom can spend a fortune getting her hair and nails done, and all I ask for is to get my hair done in simple braids... but they're gonna hurt though. I have mines done tight... and when they're done, you can't smile for about a day or so... you're like laughin... then sayin "oww" and holdin your head down. I hate that... -_-U I'm going to see the next episode of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne! It's such a good series so far too! ^_~ Later...
