A Melancholy Melody of a Maiden
I just saw the promo of the FF movie! ^_^ Final Fantasy: Advent Children! Those some good graphics too! Cloud looks sooo hot, and Barret has cornrolls in his hair, and Spirit *drools* It's coming out in Japan, Summer 2004...which means the people of subbed the promo is gonna sub the movie... which means I'll be the first one to download it! YAY!!!! I know my brother will LOVE to see that! (he's the one who got me hook on FF ever since 4th grade when I watched him play FF3) I can't WAIT to see it! I don't like Aeris though... however you spell her name... I can careless... she's so weak, and I don't even use her in my group. I like Tifa WAY better... and in my opinion.... I think Cloud and Tifa make a cute couple... I know there's probably people out there who don't like Tifa... just like how they don't like Anzu *sticks my tongue at those people* Anyway, the song in my last chapter (forgot to write the title of that at the end of the chapter) is called: Inori no Asa (Morning of Prayers) from Shamanic Princess.
Oh yeah, if you want to see the promo, just IM me. I don't have any viruses, (I just did a virus scan just now) so you don't have to worry. ^_^ I don't own Yuu-Gi-Oh nor the song(s) in this chapter. Oh yeah! I think I might now why they dubbed Shizuka's name to Serenity. If her name was spelled out in kanji when Takahashi named her, Shizuka means peaceful, quiet... liker Serenity. Or the dubbers could've been idiots and named her Serenity for the heck of it... I don't know... don't care either... I just saw episode one of Di Gi Charat... it was... weird... not Excel Saga or FLCL weird.... Just... really weird. It was like 3 minutes long... yeah...
Oh! READ GEDA'S STORY!!!!!!!! She's my friend in my shop class, and she has two stories she's working on, one she has been updating is "Love, Your Assassin," and she really want more people to read and review her story. It's an Fushigi Yuugi fic, so PLEASE read her story! ^_^

"So... this battle is a dance battle...?" Ryou asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, what did you expect?" Anzu questioned, readying herself on the stage.
"I thought.... It would be some kind of act of violence..."
Anzu giggled, then turned herself at her opponent. "Ready?"
"Always am," Johnny replied.
The two waited for the music to start, as they stood on the dancing machine. 'I'm going to embarrass his ass again,' Anzu thought, just before she began to dance.
-
~This endless midnight comes to an end
The sound of my heartbeat... who is this person?~
-
Anzu's body followed the music, yet not in a manner Ryou would expected. For being a girl, Anzu have not danced quite like one. Her body shook in a way that seem to be popular in the city of New York. Her arms were recoiling in a way, which seemed to bounced. Ryou only watched her in awe.
-
~Right now, tonight is insignificant
And I must find the object of my unknown love~
-
Johnny heard the reaction from the crowd, cheers seemed to be attracting the young teen beside him. 'So, he thinks he's going to win this time...?'
-
~My red rouge doesn't look perfect
But I will still catch love now~
-
Johnny thrust and arm out, almost causing Anzu to loose her balance, but her body have made a quick recovery. Annoyed, Johnny have done the same thing with his leg, yet Anzu seemed to barely missed the trip. She shot a glance at the desperate cheating man, giving him a smirk.
-
~Get Up And Go! What difference will the first time make?
The tears will no longer decorate my face~
-
Anzu continued to dance freely once more, without interruptions from her opponent. Her feet began to do a unique kind of walk, which seemed to be insulting to the gang of crimson. She glanced around, hoping none was around before she continued with the dance. Afterwards, one foot were on its heel, while the other on the tip of her big toe; both feet harmonizing. 'Mistress is good at this strange dancing... as well as singing...'
-
~Get Up And Go! Surely, my answer will come
This other blue light will burst with radiance~
The song slowed down. After stopping the score of two were added up, showing Anzu was the winner once again. She hopped off the stage, and left, having Ryou following close behind.
Anzu wiped the sweat from her forehead, before entering Burger World. "We'll eat here," she said.
The two walked in the fast food place in the mall, Anzu trying to find a table to sit at. Finally finding one available, she made her way to it and plopped down. "So tired..."
"You've done so well up there. I have never seen such a grace before, even though your dancing was quite strange," Ryou commented, sitting across from Anzu.
"It took a while to learn those dance steps... though I still haven't achieved them yet..."
"Mazaki!" a fenmine voice cried. She ran toward Anzu, who was still deceived in believing Anzu was a boy. Her other friends came along with her as well. "I've seen you dance just now and-" She glanced at Ryou, soon to be locked in on his appearance. Forgetting Anzu was even there, the girls began to chatter with Ryou.
Anzu felt jealous once more, but toward Ryou. 'That was Rebecca! She's one of the Junior High girls that have a crush on me, and he just takes her away!' Of course, Anzu didn't feel any attraction toward the young girl since she felt strongly attracted to Jounouchi, but her small fan club of the girls were slowly being taken away by the boy across from her. 'We're going to have a LONG talk about him and his cuteness...'
The waitress came by, who also was attracted to Anzu, but soon found herself talking to Ryou. He only answered with hesitate responses to the girls, not really wanting to talk with them. "Oh, Mazaki... Heard you beat Johnny again. What will it be?" the waitress asked, noticing Anzu's existence.
"The regular..." Anzu replied lazily, her chin resting on her palm.
"And you...?" the waitress asked, turning toward the cute boy.
"I will have whatever Mazaki has," he answered, an innocent smile across his face causing the girls to only melt before him. 'Very strange girls...' he thought.
After eating and chattering about how cute Ryou was, the girls finally left, and to Anzu's surprise, they actually have said bye to her. Anzu threw away their trash, and picked up their bags. "Time to go home, Ryou..."
"Okay," he answered, standing up and following his Mistress out of the mall.

Throughout the walk home, Ryou only heard the indistinct mumbles of his Mistress. "Stupid Ryou... taking my fan club away from me by his looks... could have gotten a free meal... so damn cute..."
Anzu opened the door to her empty home. "Well, let's start working on that project," Anzu yarned. The two walked in her room. Anzu tossed the bags on the floor and plopped down on her bed.
"So, where is this 'internet' we use to gather or information?" Ryou asked, looking around the room.
"My laptop right there. I'll show you," Anzu stood up and walked over to her desk. She sat down on her chair, lifted the computer up and pushed the "POWER" button. "We have to wait for it to load up... it'll take a while since I have a lot of things downloaded on here,"
The strange tune from the contraption made Ryou grasp tightly around Anzu, she blushed. "What was that, Mistress!?"
"I-it always do th-that..." Anzu stuttered, blushing over the fact that Ryou's revealing leather was very close to her skin. 'He's gone from adorable to hot...'
Anzu moved the touch-pad mouse over to the internet icon and double- clicked. "I think... we'll try out encyclopedia.com," Anzu typed in the link. She then typed in "Chinese Opera" in the keyword box, then her result appeared. She clicked on the one closet to her search.
"And... this tell us the information we are looking for...?" Ryou asked, still hugging his Mistress tightly.
"Yup, and we're going to copy and paste this info on wordpad, so we can go back to it later on." Anzu skimmed though the information. "It devoloed during the Yüan dynasty... Hey, Chan Kong Sang was raised in Chinese Opera!"
"Who is Chan Kong Sang?"
"Oh, he's a famous kung fu actor around the world. He done both Chinese and American action movies... And he guest starred in a recent made movie called 'Vampire Effect,' Maybe I should look up some info on him," (B/N: Anyone know who Chan Kong Sang is? I gave a clue already! ^_^ "Vampire Effect." If you've seen it... you might know who it is! ^_~)
~
After spending a few hours on searching for information on both Chan Kong Sang and Chinese Opera, Anzu finally decided to make dinner. "Tou- san and Kaa-san won't be home for a while, thank goodness," Anzu said, standing and stretching her arms.
"Why do you say that, Mistress?" Ryou asked, standing up as well. "Don't you you want to see your parents?"
"And hear them complain more about how much of a disgrace I am? I rather not..."
"But... it was your mother who let me stay here..."
"Nope, Baa-sama forced my dad... but something isn't right. She would never disagree with Tou-san..." Anzu made her way out of the room. "Well, if she said I could keep you, there's no point in complaining I suppose."
Ryou followed. "So, what's for dinner tonight?"
"What we had for dinner yesterday!" Anzu exclaimed, turning around to Ryou.
His body sank. "More ramen... again...?"
"Mmmhmm! Is that or order something... And I spent a lot of money on your clothes today!"
"I'm sorry... I will enjoy every noodle,"
"Good. Now, work on your English homework while I make the ramen, alright?"
"Yes Mistress." Obeying his Mistress, Ryou went back in the room, and worked on his homework.
Just as Anzu took out the big pot, her phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Anzu! It's Shizuka!" her friend said on the other line.
"Oh, hey. What's up?" Anzu filled the pot with water.
"Nothing... since Onii-chan is out... as usual."
"Oh... Well, he did say he would spend time with you tomorrow, right?" Anzu placed the phone between her shoulder and ear, as she carried the pot of water over to the stove. She turned it up to High, and took out a some pears from the refrigerator.
"Yeah. So... how's your little pet doing?"
"My little pet?" Anzu put the pears in different slices, almost cutting her finger as she understand what her friend was implying. "HE IS NOT MY PET!"
"Oh come on! If you told him to jump, he would jump on top of you in a second,"
"And what exactly do you mean by that, Shizuka!?" Anzu took the pear slices and placed them on a plate.
"Oh, nothing, haha..."
As the water began to boil, Anzu placed the ramen noodles in the water, stirring them as the soften in the intense heat. "So... um... do you think he wants to hang out sometime?" Shizuka asked shyly.
"You... like him Shizuka...?"
"I do no-"
"And I doubt you'll be able to resist the new, tight leather clothes I bought. I should take him over to your house... and see that priceless expression on your face!"
"My face won't even come close to funny once I see yours... when I tell Onii-chan about how much you worship the spot in once he stood in,"
Anzu became quiet as she poured the ramen and hot water in two separate bowls. "I know that would shut you up,"
"If you EVER tell him," Anzu said in a threatening voice. "Jou is going to need more than his gang to keep me from-"
"I understand! Haha..."
She placed the plate of sliced pears, the two bowls of ramen, two sodas and two pairs of wooden chopsticks on a tray. "Well, maybe I can set you two up someday... well, I have to come too... or Ryou's going to use that cute adorable face on me..."
"Really!? Oh, you're the best! But... you sure that you don't want me to talk to Onii-chan...?"
"Why? Not like he be interested in someone like me anyway..."
"If you think so,"
"Well, dinner's ready. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye Anzu," Both girls hung up the phone.
Anzu placed her back on the hook and picked up the tray of food and made her way back in her room. She placed the tray on the center of the room. "Here's dinner," she said, going toward her book bag. She took out her notebook and books and pencil.
"What flavor ramen is it?" Ryou asked, sitting himself before the tray.
"Creamy chicken," Anzu replied, going back to the tray. She spread her homework before. "Did you finish your English homework?"
"I finished all of it,"
"Really?! In that short period of time...?!"
"Mmhmm, it was really easy,"
Anzu grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and began eating her dinner. "Mistress, what are the pears for...?" Ryou asked, picking up on slice with his chopsticks.
"I like pears... you don't have to eat them in you don't want to," she said through the noodles in her mouth. "I hate homework," Aznu cried out, scribbling different equations in her notebook.
"Do you want me to do them for you?"
"Of course not!" Anzu ate some more ramen. "I don't want to burden you with my homework, and then I won't know the work."
"Oh... I just wanted to help..."
Anzu quickly looked down at her notebook. 'Must resist innocent face... must resist...' "Oh, Ryou! Sometime this week, do you want to hang out with me and Shizuka?"
"Shizuka-sama... she is the one who walked with us to school?"
"Yeah, she want to... know you better..."
"As long as you're coming, Mistress, I would love to go,"
"Okay, the day after tomorrow, the three of us, alright?"
"Yes Mistress," Ryou wiped his mouth with his wrist. "I'm finished dinner, and enjoyed every noodle and pear,"
"Go and take your shower, while I'll finish up,"
Ryou obeyed. He stood up and walked over to the drawers. Anzu, being nice enough to give him his own half of different drawers, Ryou took out a pair of boxer, a T-shirt, and sweat pants and grabbed a clean towel nearby. "You remember how to work the shower, right?"
"Yes," he said, exiting the room.
Anzu watched him as he left, a familiar throbbing returning to her. "I wonder... how long he's going to stay with me... Hey... that question didn't sound to right," Anzu looked back down at her assignments. "Not like I WANT him to stay... just... how long will it be...?"

Finishing up her homework and dinner, Anzu picked up the tray and took it back into the kitchen. She emptied the dirty dishes in the sink, only for her to wash when she gets home tomorrow. She then picked up a few napkins from the table and a small white bag and went back in the room. As she entered, she saw Ryou already laying down on the spread of blankets that he sleeps upon. Before saying anything, she examined the thinking boy who looked out the window. 'He's sooo cute! I wonder if I'm interrupting anything...'
"Mistress! What is that in your hand?" Ryou asked, turning his attention to the young girl.
"Oh this?" Anzu said, pointing to the bag. "Well... I was wondering if you wanted dessert, but you seem to be tired, so I'll just go in the living room and watch TV..."
"No Mistress! See! I'm up!" Ryou sat up quickly, and smiled.
Anzu smiled back. She sat next to the boy and opened the bag. "They're apple-filled donuts. Kaa-san usually comes home around noon and drop these off, and go back to work."
"What are apple-filled donuts?" Ryou asked, his eyes wandering in the small bag.
"They're this little sweet pastries with apple filling in the middle," Anzu took one out the bag. "Try one,"
Timidly, Ryou took the small donut and bit into it. He chewed slowly, letting the sugary taste filled his mouth before swallowing. After he did, he took another bite, and another, causing Anzu to smile. She took one out for herself and began to eat it as well. "Oh Mistress! They are so delicious!"
Ryou looked in the little bag, wondering if there were anymore left, as he turned the other way, his hand bumped into Anzu's,causing the apple filling to spill a little bit around her mouth. "Oh Mistress, I'm so sorry!" he apologized, bowing his head continuously.
"It's alright, Ryou, real-"
Anzu froze. Salty water began to sweat from her body, as her chest palpitate. 'I don't believe... he is doing this...' Ryou's tongue danced around the outside of Anzu's mouth, licking up the spilled filling that he caused. His tongue slightly brushed over her lips, causing the girl to blush ferociously. She pulled back. "Ryou... what are you doing...?"
He started at her, his eyes giving off the most purest of innocence. "I was only cleaning up the mess I made... I'm sorry..." Ryou turned his head toward the carpet.
"No, it's alright Ryou... you were only cleaning it up..." Anzu trailed off. 'He doesn't even what kind of effect that can have on someone... But he was only doing that just because he felt sorry for causing that... yeah... that's all... only because he felt sorry... nothing more...' Anzu stood up after the awkward silence. "Well, I have to take my shower. You can have the rest of my donut if you want," Anzu gather her clean clothes and towel and made her way to the bathroom.
Ryou stared at the bitten donut. He picked it uo and placed it back in the bag. "I will have it... I will save the bitten food Mistress had ate from forever..." He picked it up and placed it in his bottom drawer. "My sacred gift from Mistress..."

"Okaa-san, why must I meet this girl?"
"Because you are going to be betrothed to her,"
"Hello Mazaki-sama, and her son," the girl bowed as the teen boy stared in amazement.
'This is one...' Mazaki-sama thought. 'I can sense her egg is the one to be fertilized by my son... to produce the child of a destined virgin.'
"She is... quite exquisite, Obaa-san... And she carries the scent of ripen apricots as well..."
"I am called Nashi, soon to be Mazaki Nashi in the near the future, Mazaki- san,"

Anzu came back in her room, discarding her clothes she carried in her room. Too tired to say goodnight to Ryou, Anzu climbed in her bed, only to squeal and scream when arms wrapped around her. "RYOU!!! What are you doing in my bed!?"
"Mistress, for upsetting you earlier, I will make it up by protecting you as you slumber," his arms tightened around Anzu, as her blush deepened.
"You can also protect me by sleeping on the floor!"
"But for one to fully protect another, she must be enwrapped in his hold, letting his body shield her from harm."
Anzu sighed, relaxing herself in his arms. 'No point in trying to stop him... he's only doing this to be nice... so do I think differently...?'
"Sing a song!" he cried out.
"Why?"
"Because your soothing voice will help your protection more,"
"Ryou... never mind," Anzu closed her eyes, trying to think of a song to sing.
-
~A blue wind now
At your heart's door, it's knocking
You're only gazing at me
And you are smiling~
-
Ryou gave Anzu a tight squeeze, causing her to say a line a little too high. "Sorry," he apologized. Anzu only smiled, and continued singing.
-
~Secretly touching something
A reason for you to seek it out
A fate that's strange, you can't see it...
...With innocent eyes~
-
Ryou gently caressed Anzu's arms, enjoying the feel of her smooth skin. Anzu took a deep breath, hoping she can actually concentrate on her singing.
-
~However, someday you'll notice, I hope
That on your back
A distant future you're aiming at
Is what your wings want~
-
'Mistress... the feel of her is so sensational... her taste mixed in with the apples was sweet... her aroma, the scent of apricots... the sight of her, of one being a goddess... her voice, the sound coming out as smooth as any silk, her uttering words, their meaning wrapping around tightly. Mistress... I...'
-
~Like a cruel angel's Thesis
Before long, it'll take off through a window
While also gushing out hot pathos
If you should ever betray your memories~
-
'Mistress, I want...'
-
~Throughout the universe, embracing and shining
Young boy, become the legend!~
-
"Mistress, I want to be with you for eternity..."
-
So there's my answer... he will stay with me forever...

Throughout the walk home, Ryou only heard the indistinct mumbles of his Mistress. "Stupid Ryou... taking my fan club away from me by his looks... could have gotten a free meal... so damn cute..."
Anzu opened the door to her empty home. "Well, let's start working on that project," Anzu yarned. The two walked in her room. Anzu tossed the bags on the floor and plopped down on her bed.
"So, where is this 'internet' we use to gather or information?" Ryou asked, looking around the room.

And he guest starred in a recent made movie called 'Vampire Effect,' Maybe I should look up some info on him," (B/N: Anyone know who Chan Kong Sang is? I gave a clue already! ^_^ "Vampire Effect." If you've seen it... you might know who it is! ^_~)

After spending a few hours on searching for information on both Chan Kong Sang and Chinese Opera, Anzu finally decided to make dinner. "Tou- san and Kaa-san won't be home for a while, thank goodness," Anzu said, standing and stretching her arms.
"Why do you say that, Mistress?" Ryou asked, standing up as well. "Don't you you want to see your parents?"
"And hear them complain more about how much of a disgrace I am? I rather not..."
"But... it was your mother who let me stay here..."
"Nope, Baa-sama forced my dad... but something isn't right. She would never disagree with Tou-san..." Anzu made her way out of the room. "Well, if she said I could keep you, there's no point in complaining I suppose."
Ryou followed. "So, what's for dinner tonight?"
"What we had for dinner yesterday!" Anzu exclaimed, turning around to Ryou.
His body sank. "More ramen... again...?"
"Mmmhmm! Is that or order something... And I spent a lot of money on your clothes today!"
"I'm sorry... I will enjoy every noodle,"
"Good. Now, work on your English homework while I make the ramen, alright?"
"Yes Mistress." Obeying his Mistress, Ryou went back in the room, and worked on his homework.
Just as Anzu took out the big pot, her phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Anzu! It's Shizuka!" her friend said on the other line.
"Oh, hey. What's up?" Anzu filled the pot with water.
"Nothing... since Onii-chan is out... as usual."
"Oh... Well, he did say he would spend time with you tomorrow, right?" Anzu placed the phone between her shoulder and ear, as she carried the pot of water over to the stove. She turned it up to High, and took out a some pears from the refrigerator.
"Yeah. So... how's your little pet doing?"
"My little pet?" Anzu put the pears in different slices, almost cutting her finger as she understand what her friend was implying. "HE IS NOT MY PET!"
"Oh come on! If you told him to jump, he would jump on top of you in a second,"
"And what exactly do you mean by that, Shizuka!?" Anzu took the pear slices and placed them on a plate.
"Oh, nothing, haha..."
As the water began to boil, Anzu placed the ramen noodles in the water, stirring them as the soften in the intense heat. "So... um... do you think he wants to hang out sometime?" Shizuka asked shyly.
"You... like him Shizuka...?"
"I do no-"
"And I doubt you'll be able to resist the new, tight leather clothes I bought. I should take him over to your house... and see that priceless expression on your face!"
"My face won't even come close to funny once I see yours... when I tell Onii-chan about how much you worship the spot in once he stood in,"
Anzu became quiet as she poured the ramen and hot water in two separate bowls. "I know that would shut you up,"
"If you EVER tell him," Anzu said in a threatening voice. "Jou is going to need more than his gang to keep me from-"
"I understand! Haha..."
She placed the plate of sliced pears, the two bowls of ramen, two sodas and two pairs of wooden chopsticks on a tray. "Well, maybe I can set you two up someday... well, I have to come too... or Ryou's going to use that cute adorable face on me..."
"Really!? Oh, you're the best! But... you sure that you don't want me to talk to Onii-chan...?"
"Why? Not like he be interested in someone like me anyway..."
"If you think so,"
"Well, dinner's ready. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye Anzu," Both girls hung up the phone.
Anzu placed her back on the hook and picked up the tray of food and made her way back in her room. She placed the tray on the center of the room. "Here's dinner," she said, going toward her book bag. She took out her notebook and books and pencil.
"What flavor ramen is it?" Ryou asked, sitting himself before the tray.
"Creamy chicken," Anzu replied, going back to the tray. She spread her homework before. "Did you finish your English homework?"
"I finished all of it,"
"Really?! In that short period of time...?!"
"Mmhmm, it was really easy,"
Anzu grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and began eating her dinner. "Mistress, what are the pears for...?" Ryou asked, picking up on slice with his chopsticks.
"I like pears... you don't have to eat them in you don't want to," she said through the noodles in her mouth. "I hate homework," Aznu cried out, scribbling different equations in her notebook.
"Do you want me to do them for you?"
"Of course not!" Anzu ate some more ramen. "I don't want to burden you with my homework, and then I won't know the work."
"Oh... I just wanted to help..."
Anzu quickly looked down at her notebook. 'Must resist innocent face... must resist...' "Oh, Ryou! Sometime this week, do you want to hang out with me and Shizuka?"
"Shizuka-sama... she is the one who walked with us to school?"
"Yeah, she want to... know you better..."
"As long as you're coming, Mistress, I would love to go,"
"Okay, the day after tomorrow, the three of us, alright?"
"Yes Mistress," Ryou wiped his mouth with his wrist. "I'm finished dinner, and enjoyed every noodle and pear,"
"Go and take your shower, while I'll finish up,"
Ryou obeyed. He stood up and walked over to the drawers. Anzu, being nice enough to give him his own half of different drawers, Ryou took out a pair of boxer, a T-shirt, and sweat pants and grabbed a clean towel nearby. "You remember how to work the shower, right?"
"Yes," he said, exiting the room.
Anzu watched him as he left, a familiar throbbing returning to her. "I wonder... how long he's going to stay with me... Hey... that question didn't sound to right," Anzu looked back down at her assignments. "Not like I WANT him to stay... just... how long will it be...?"

Finishing up her homework and dinner, Anzu picked up the tray and took it back into the kitchen. She emptied the dirty dishes in the sink, only for her to wash when she gets home tomorrow. She then picked up a few napkins from the table and a small white bag and went back in the room. As she entered, she saw Ryou already laying down on the spread of blankets that he sleeps upon. Before saying anything, she examined the thinking boy who looked out the window. 'He's sooo cute! I wonder if I'm interrupting anything...'
"Mistress! What is that in your hand?" Ryou asked, turning his attention to the young girl.
"Oh this?" Anzu said, pointing to the bag. "Well... I was wondering if you wanted dessert, but you seem to be tired, so I'll just go in the living room and watch TV..."
"No Mistress! See! I'm up!" Ryou sat up quickly, and smiled.
Anzu smiled back. She sat next to the boy and opened the bag. "They're apple-filled donuts. Kaa-san usually comes home around noon and drop these off, and go back to work."
"What are apple-filled donuts?" Ryou asked, his eyes wandering in the small bag.
"They're this little sweet pastries with apple filling in the middle," Anzu took one out the bag. "Try one,"
Timidly, Ryou took the small donut and bit into it. He chewed slowly, letting the sugary taste filled his mouth before swallowing. After he did, he took another bite, and another, causing Anzu to smile. She took one out for herself and began to eat it as well. "Oh Mistress! They are so delicious!"
Ryou looked in the little bag, wondering if there were anymore left, as he turned the other way, his hand bumped into Anzu's,causing the apple filling to spill a little bit around her mouth. "Oh Mistress, I'm so sorry!" he apologized, bowing his head continuously.
"It's alright, Ryou, real-"
Anzu froze. Salty water began to sweat from her body, as her chest palpitate. 'I don't believe... he is doing this...' Ryou's tongue danced around the outside of Anzu's mouth, licking up the spilled filling that he caused. His tongue slightly brushed over her lips, causing the girl to blush ferociously. She pulled back. "Ryou... what are you doing...?"
He started at her, his eyes giving off the most purest of innocence. "I was only cleaning up the mess I made... I'm sorry..." Ryou turned his head toward the carpet.
"No, it's alright Ryou... you were only cleaning it up..." Anzu trailed off. 'He doesn't even what kind of effect that can have on someone... But he was only doing that just because he felt sorry for causing that... yeah... that's all... only because he felt sorry... nothing more...' Anzu stood up after the awkward silence. "Well, I have to take my shower. You can have the rest of my donut if you want," Anzu gather her clean clothes and towel and made her way to the bathroom.
Ryou stared at the bitten donut. He picked it uo and placed it back in the bag. "I will have it... I will save the bitten food Mistress had ate from forever..." He picked it up and placed it in his bottom drawer. "My sacred gift from Mistress..."

"Okaa-san, why must I meet this girl?"
"Because you are going to be betrothed to her,"
"Hello Mazaki-sama, and her son," the girl bowed as the teen boy stared in amazement.
'This is one...' Mazaki-sama thought. 'I can sense her egg is the one to be fertilized by my son... to produce the child of a destined virgin.'
"She is... quite exquisite, Obaa-san... And she carries the scent of ripen apricots as well..."
"I am called Nashi, soon to be Mazaki Nashi in the near the future, Mazaki- san,"

Anzu came back in her room, discarding her clothes she carried in her room. Too tired to say goodnight to Ryou, Anzu climbed in her bed, only to squeal and scream when arms wrapped around her. "RYOU!!! What are you doing in my bed!?"
"Mistress, for upsetting you earlier, I will make it up by protecting you as you slumber," his arms tightened around Anzu, as her blush deepened.
"You can also protect me by sleeping on the floor!"
"But for one to fully protect another, she must be enwrapped in his hold, letting his body shield her from harm."
Anzu sighed, relaxing herself in his arms. 'No point in trying to stop him... he's only doing this to be nice... so do I think differently...?'
"Sing a song!" he cried out.
"Why?"
"Because your soothing voice will help your protection more,"
"Ryou... never mind," Anzu closed her eyes, trying to think of a song to sing.
-
~A blue wind now
At your heart's door, it's knocking
You're only gazing at me
And you are smiling~
-
Ryou gave Anzu a tight squeeze, causing her to say a line a little too high. "Sorry," he apologized. Anzu only smiled, and continued singing.
-
~Secretly touching something
A reason for you to seek it out
A fate that's strange, you can't see it...
...With innocent eyes~
-
Ryou gently caressed Anzu's arms, enjoying the feel of her smooth skin. Anzu took a deep breath, hoping she can actually concentrate on her singing.
-
~However, someday you'll notice, I hope
That on your back
A distant future you're aiming at
Is what your wings want~
-
'Mistress... the feel of her is so sensational... her taste mixed in with the apples was sweet... her aroma, the scent of apricots... the sight of her, of one being a goddess... her voice, the sound coming out as smooth as any silk, her uttering words, their meaning wrapping around tightly. Mistress... I...'
-
~Like a cruel angel's Thesis
Before long, it'll take off through a window
While also gushing out hot pathos
If you should ever betray your memories~
-
'Mistress, I want...'
-
~Throughout the universe, embracing and shining
Young boy, become the legend!~
-
"Mistress, I want to be with you for eternity..."
-
So there's my answer... he will stay with me forever...
