A Melancholy Melody of a Maiden

Oh, don't worry Malik Fan 03, I said it will be Ryou and Anzu, and shall be Ryou and Anzu. ^_^ I do have "Fly Me To The Moon," but it's the Utada Hikaru versions... both her original and remix version ^_~ I don't have too many song from Evangelion, but I have called "Tamashii no Refrain," sung by the same person who sings the opening song. I was going to use that song in a previous chapter... but used the one from SP. Guess no on know who Chan Kong Sang is... *sighs* I wonder if anyone knew the dance moves I described in the last chapter... Well, since no one cares about that, let's move on to something else. ^_^U Oh yeah, I'm really really really sorry for the many errors and misspelled words in the previous chapter... I was reading it over again and saw I forgotten a letter in a word and stuff... I know I should re-read it.... But once I type that much, I don't wanna read it since I'm annoyed with it already ^_^ oh! I MISSED THE DUMB BUS! That, of it never came! And I'm mad... my mom thinks I missed it too... so now I am home... doing this story and such. Oh, I don't own Yuu-Gi-Oh or any of the songs...

'Feels like I've been asleep for a long time...' Anzu stirred in his arms, until something unclear and red caught her eyes. "10:37!?" She picked up the clock. "AND NO ONE WOKE ME UP!?" Anzu turned to Ryou. "Wake up!" She cried it out to him again, yet to no avail did he wake up. Anzu then, stood up from her bed and pulled Ryou's arm until he landed on the ground.

"Mistress... what's all the fuss about?" he asked with a yawn.

"We can't go to school! Did you turn off the alarm in this?"

"What's an alarm?"

"Guess not..."

Anzu picked up the telephone on her night table, and began to call Shizuka's cell phone. "Hello?"

"SHIZUKA!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU COME BY?!"

Shizuka pulled away from the screaming phone, then placed it back to her ear when she thought it was safe. "Because I wasn't going to school today... How come you're not in school?"

"The alarm didn't go off and no one woke us up,"

"Oh. Well... you can come by over here! We can all hang out together,"

"Well... guess that is better than staying here... We'll be there in a few, bye"

Anzu hang up the phone, than drew her attention to the boy on the ground. "Ryou, since we're too late to go to school, we're going to go over Shizuka's... is that alright with you?"

"As long as you're going Mistress..." Ryou replied, standing up and stretching.

"Go take your shower while I'll fix some breakfast..."

Anzu began to head out the door, before Ryou called out to her. "Mistress... can you bathe me again?" he asked.

"WHAT!?"

"Or we can both bathe together. It'll be just wonderful!"

'Don't look at the face...' "No! I will NEVER take a bath with you," Ryou's eyes began to water. "That look won't make me change my mind,"

"You... do not like me any more... Mistress...?"

"No, it's not that. Of course I like you... but... I can't take a bath with someone else... it wouldn't feel right,"

Ryou's frown broke out into a smile. He ran over to his Mistress, embracing her tightly "Well, someday it will feel right and we can bathe all the time! I can wait for as long as you like,"

-

'I'm sure you can...'

-

"I need to get my dignity back," Anzu mumbled to herself, pouring cereal in two bowls. "I can't believe Ryou's changing me so much now that I think about it. I bathe him, clothe him, feed him, sing to him, let him sleep in my bed... I'M NOT HIS DAMN MOTHER!" Anzu quickly cleaned up the over-poured cereal from the table. "Oops..." She went into a the drawers, getting out two spoons. 'But still... I don't like being this way... I'm... I'm.... I'M ACTING LIKE A GIRL!" Anzu jammed the two spoons in the cereal. "That does it! From now on, no more sweet, motherly Anzu!" She went over to the fridge, taking out the milk and poured it in the bowls of cereal. "Damn straight! I won't let that cute, adorable... pretty er... I won't let him take over me!"

Anzu walked toward her room. As she passed the bathroom, "Ryou-dear! Breakfast is ready!" 'Way a go... Dignified Anzu...'

She finally entered her room, plopping down on her soft carpet. "I can't let him get the best of me... Besides, my chest hurts every time he touches me..." Anzu stared miserably at her cereal. "It's not fair... He's ruining my life... I'm acting like a girl..." Anzu sobbed, the tears dropping heavily on her cereal.

"Mistress, what's wrong?" Ryou's soft voiced asked, stepping into the bedroom.

Anzu looked up quickly, only to look back down at the room. "Nothing, there's nothing wrong with dignified Anzu, Hahaha!" She laughed nervously, at of both embarrassment and bare-chest Ryou.

"Are... you alright...?" He stepped closer to her, his hand stretching out toward Anzu.

She only slammed her cereal down and walked passed the boy. "There's nothing wrong with me," Anzu replied coldly, brushing off the boy. She came back in, feeling stupidity when she realized she forgotten her towel. "Heh heh... I knew I forgot something..." She grabbed it quickly, trying to bring back the cold look on her face once more and left.

Ryou watched her leave with confusion and worry. "Mistress... what have I done now to make you angry...?"

~

-Mistress, I want to be with you for eternity...-

"Damn that boy and his cuteness!" Anzu cursed, scrubbing her arms with her cloth. "He's already made me more of a girl than Shizuka did in two years... and she still never succeed!" She looked down at her wet arms, trailing her fingertips where Ryou once caressed her. "Every time... he touches make me so weak and I can't help but to let him do it... If anyone is going to make me act girly, it'll be Jounouchi!" All determination left her body for that second, as a thought floated in her mind. 'So why don't I ever abandon him?'

After her bathing, Anzu stepped out of the tub and wrapped the towel around her. "If I ignore him, he'll leave and I'll have my normal life back. Piece of cake," she said to herself.

Anzu walked back to her room, and closed the door. Ryou was sitting in the corner of the room, lazily eating his breakfast. He looked up at his Mistress, wondering if she was still angry at him, yet his eyes widened from her actions. She dropped the towel that once covered her nude body, giving Ryou a full exposure of herself. He blushed madly, seeing his Mistress' naked body. "Mi-Mi-Mistress!" he cried out, trying to peer his eyes away from her. "... Why are you exposing yourself in front of me? Aren't you going to tell me to turn around...?"

"It's my room," she replied. "I should be able to change in her freely if I want," She dug in her drawers, pulling out a bra and undergarments. She placed the two on, eyes still watching her actions. She walked past Ryou, making her way to the closet. In no attempt have she looked at Ryou, or even smiled the whole time she entered the room.

'Mistress... is so distant all of a sudden... what did I do to upset her?' Ryou thought, as he saw his Mistress picking out which outfit to wear. He admired her body. 'Purer as any Aoi...' he thought. His hand reached out to her, wanting to touch more of that pure flesh. Once Anzu felt the familiar touch, quickly kicked his hand away.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Anzu cried out, resisting to look at his innocent face.

"Mistress I... only wanted to touch your pure skin..." he replied weakly, taking back his hand.

"Quit touching me all the time... it gets annoying..." she said aloud, turning away to her bed with her clothes in her hands. '... And unbearable...'

Anzu quickly dressed herself in a slightly tight, but long red shirt and black sweat pants which had red lining around the pockets and hems. She grabbed her red hat from her dresser and placed it on an angle upon her head. After putting on her socks and new shoes, Anzu headed toward the door, and stopped. "Guess you want to stay behind then," she said coldly and continued walking out the room. Ryou quickly stood up and followed his Mistress out of the apartment.

The walk to Shizuka's house was very eerily quiet. Ryou walked behind his Mistress, as Anzu tried her hardest not to look over her shoulder. 'Him and that tight leather...' she said to herself as she stuffed her hands in her pocket.

Finally, the two arrived at the other apartment complex in Domino. They went up the elevator, still silence between the two, and Ryou keeping his hands and questions to himself. The door slid open, and the two went down to the forth on the right. Anzu rang the doorbell and waited for her friend to open it up.

The door opened, with a chirpy greeting. "Hi Anzu!" Shizuka looked shyly at Ryou and smiled. "And Ryou..." She opened the door a bit more, inviting the two to come in. As they stepped in, Shizuka closed the door and plastered a wide smile on her face. "We're going to the arcade! He's taking us there,"

"He...?" Anzu repeated, raising an eyebrow. "He... who?"

"Onii-chan, of course!" Shizuka walked further in the small apartment, gesturing the two to sit down.

Anzu sat down in the seat, her expression remaining cool as her thought excited her. 'The chair that Jounouchi sits on! My butt is on the seat that Jounouchi could have sat on just yesterday!'

Ryou sat next to Anzu, crossing his arms to prevent himself from touching his Mistress. He turned to his left when he saw her friend sitting next to him. She clasped his arm, smiling. "While we're waiting for Onii-chan to come back, we can talk Ryou!"

He turned over to Anzu, who seemed to be enjoying herself quite finely. "What about Mistress?" he asked.

"Oh, she's in ecstasy sitting in Jounouchi's spot," Shizuka replied, tightening her grip on the boy's arm. She looked over at the boy, admiring his skin-tight outfit. Ryou paid no attention to the girl on his arm, since all of his attention was on his Mistress.

-

'Why is Mistress so upset with me today...? Maybe because I made us miss school...?'

-

"Mistress I-"

The door slammed open before Ryou could finish his statement. There, at the doorway, stepped the tall blonde wearing extremely baggy clothing and a bandana wrapped around his head. "Shizuka-chan!" he cried out, slamming the door from behind. He stretched a bit and continued talking. "Shizuka said that you guys overslept, Mazaki-san,"

Anzu looked the other way, hiding the blush that crept up her face. "I asked Onii-chan if you guys wanted to come with us, and he said yes."

"But wouldn't we be in the way...?" Anzu asked, now standing up. "I thought you guys were going to hang out together...?"

"Well, I guess it wouldn't be too bad if Shizuka's friends came along," He grabbed his jacket from the nearby chair and opened the door once again. "Well, let's get going" He walked out the door, with Shizuka Anzu and Ryou following behind.

~

Anzu leaned back on the comfortable seat, trying by al means not to look at the leather-wearing boy. 'So this is the car Jou stolen...?' she asked herself, cradling her chin in her palms. 'I wonder where he learned to drive too... Must be a gang thing...'

Ryou looked confusingly at his Mistress' profile. The question lingered around his head as he continued to look at her intensely. 'Why is Mistress being so mean...?' he asked himself, unconsciously moving his hand to her free one. He grasped it, stroking it gently with his thumb. He looked down at his lap as Anzu cast a glance at her caressed hand.

'Why is he doing this....!? In front of Jounouchi of all people!' She enjoyed the tickling caress, much to her dislike. As much as she wanted to pull away before Jounouchi caught a glance at the two, Anzu kept her hand their so a small scene wouldn't be shown. Anzu looked back at the window, a pissed off looking on her face. 'And if he wasn't here right now... I wouldn't have to worry about Jounouchi thinking other ideas about this... Anzu Shizuka wouldn't have that jealous look on her face right now either...' Anzu sweat dropped, looking at the funny angry look on her best friend.

Shizuka watched the scene through the mirror above, a small wave of jealously beginning to overcome her. A vein popped from her forehead, as she felt herself seeing red. Before saying 'Get off her, Ryou, you're mine!' Jounouchi spoken aloud. "Shizuka-chan, I got a call from Kaa-san the other day,"

"You did...?" she asked, turning her head to her older brother.

"Yeah, and she wants you to visit her this weekend," Jounouchi made a left turn, carefully trying not to make a mistake that could catch an officer's attention.

"Really?! I can't wait! I haven't seen her ever since I moved out," Shizuka squealed, letting go of the anger and jealously that once aroused her body. But, she slowly turned to Jounouchi, with discerned worry on her features. "... And what about you?"

"You know that woman doesn't want to see me," Jounouchi replied, after making the turn. "She hasn't been too proud of me ever since I made the gang... And you can tell she doesn't like me, leaving me with that drunken bastard."

"You guys... didn't argue over the phone, right?"

"Of course we didn't... we just had a bit of disagreement." Jounouchi cast a look over at his younger sister, who seemed to be very disappointed toward the behavior he shows to his mother. Knowing that the conversation will only upset Shizuka, he decided to change it. "So Mazaki, did you look up any info for our project?"

After knowing that his attention was now toward the girl in the back seat, Anzu quickly left the comforting caress of Ryou's hand and looked up to Jounouchi. "Ah... yeah. I copied some stuff and saved it on my computer. We still need some more info though," Anzu replied nervously.

Ryou looked at his once warm hand which held Anzu's. He sighed. 'I thought that always calmed Mistress down...' He looked over at his Mistress, then out his window.

"And after you guys get it, I'll type it up right away."

The car slowed down, then came to a complete stop. The four finally arrived at the arcade. Ryou quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and hurried out of the car. A smile spread across his face, since he was going to experience something new with his Mistress; even if she was upset with him. 'Whatever I do with her... is just enough to make me happy... as long as she's there,'

Ryou ran to the other side of the car, wanting to open the door for his Mistress. "We must hurry, Mis-... Anzu!" he cried, opening up the door. As he opened the door, Anzu was already getting herself out; but unaware of the boy's and curb's presence. Her foot was caught on the cement, causing her to trip forward. She flung her arms quickly around Ryou's neck, as he wrapped his arms firmly around her waist. Anzu jumped as she felt the slithering arms around her. She looked up, her face blushing as she met the handsome, innocent face of Ryou. A slight wind blew past them, lifting his white hair in the process. His soft, gentle look made him so angelic...

'A sexy angel clad in tight leather...'
