-'What are you waiting for!? Push him out of the way!'
-
After snapping out of her daze, Anzu pushed the boy aside, walking toward the entrance. "I'm not some child, I can get out of the car myself..." she muttered before she entered.
"Anzu..." Ryou trailed off, reaching his hand toward her.
Shizuka looked at Anzu, then to Ryou. 'Anzu... why are you acting so cold...?' Still having the question linger in her head, Shizuka grabbed Ryou's stretch arm and smiled. "Don't worry Ryou, we'll find out what's bothering her," Ryou nodded, and let Shizuka lead him inside. Jounouchi watched the small scene, shrugged and walked inside as well.
The arcade was filled with many teens, which made Anzu wondered if they always skipped out from school. Some people were familiar to her, which gave her an idea to impress her secret crush. Anzu walked up to the platform, causing heads to turn toward her. She heard the whispers and murmurs from the others, knowing she was going to challenge whoever stepped on the stage beside her. Anzu looked around, trying to find a competitor, by her eyes landed on Jounouchi. 'What... is he doing?' she asked herself as she watched the boy associating with other teens. They wore black shades and yellow bandannas, one that looked similar to Jounouchi when he first entered their home. 'He's still dealing with his gang while he's suppose to spend time with Shizuka...' Her eyes traveled more around arcade, wondering where he best friend was at. She stood close to the platforms with the other audience, giving her a thumbs-up while Ryou stood next to her. He watched Anzu shyly, barely making eye contact with his Mistress. 'Aww... he looks so cute like that...'
"MAZAKI!" a voice yelled, causing Anzu to turn her head around to the yeller. "What the hell are you staring at!?"
"Oh, you're challenging me? Heh.. This will be easy..."
The two waited for the music to begin. Anzu inhaled, then exhaled, preparing herself for her next dance battle.
-
If one day I were to return here again
Using the same eyes to gaze at the same sky
Will I still feel that it is just as beautiful?
Maybe I am thinking too much
I should go sleep and talk about it tomorrow
-
During the little talk of the song, Anzu was already familiar with the beat and the steps. She began when the singing started, her steps already becoming natural to Anzu; dancing as if there was no problem.
-
Unable to leave this place... Always
Only because here there's a scenery that I'm familiar with!
-
Ryou listened to the voice of the singer, the sound of her tainted voice filling his ears. He watched the harsh graceful movements of his Mistress dancing, her body harmonizing with the rhythm.
-
It feels like everything is too late
Slowly , I realize that the place I am in now is not too bad either
I found myself a few good excuses
-
Anzu's eyes roamed around again, watching the gang of Jounouchi still associating. Shizuka noticed Anzu was distracted, and turned her head to where Anzu's attention was most desired to. Her eyes widen; a few small papers seemed to be exchanged between Jounouchi and the other shady character. '...Onii-chan... hustling?' she thought as her left hand cradled her right. 'After he's suppose to spend the day with me...?'
-
To tell the truth , I have never understood... ...But I acted like I knew everything
-
She squeezed through the crowd, her anger drawing Shizuka closer to her brother. "And maybe I'll trade you this one for that 'United We Stand,'" Jounouchi said, but soon having his attention captured by his sister. "Shizuka-chan... what's wro-"
"You said you're going to spend the day with me, and here you are, selling who knows what to him!" Shizuka cried, pointing her index finger at the stranger.
"But-"
"And you still put your stupid gang before ME!"
After that being said, Shizuka ran off outside, her sobbing becoming remote to Jounouchi.
Anzu watched he best friend exited the arcade. 'Shizuka...' She hurried and jumped off the platform, hearing the gasps and upset cries of the crowd feeling her ears. She made her way through them, finally standing in front of Jounouchi. "What the hell are you doing with your gang when you're suppose to spend time with Shizuka!?"
Jounouchi was taken back a bit by the girl, since she is usually quiet and to herself during school hours. "I was only trying to strengthen up my Duel Monster deck... since Shizuka was watching you dance... "
-
'The one who I fallen for... love so much... Was only associating with his gang member just to get some stupid card!? Boys and that stupid "Duel Monster" game...'
-
Ryou appeared behind her, restraining his arms from embracing Anzu. 'Now what is Mistress upset about...?'
"Instead of sitting there playing that stupid game, you should go and try to make things right!"
"But... she'll never believe me if I told her..."
"Forget you..." Anzu, too, exited the arcade.
-
'Oh! Maybe doing something for his sister that he couldn't do... will make him like me!'
-
"Never knew she could be so out spoken..." Jounouchi mumbled as he watched Anzu and Ryou both exited the arcade.
Shizuka was curled up against the wall when Anzu found her. "Shizuka..." Anzu knelt down beside her, wrapping a comforting arm around Shizuka. "He wasn't selling or dealing with anyone, Shizuka... He was only trying to strengthen up his dumb Duel Monster deck... since you were watching me dance..."
Shizuka lifted up her head a bit. "Duel Monster... so... it wasn't about his gang...?"
"Nope..."
"I told him.... HE NEED TO GROW OUT OF THAT STUPID GAME! It's for little kids! He's this BIG gang leader playing Duel Monsters! What a wimp! And I refuse to have a wimp as a brother!"
Shizuka stood up, stomping back into the arcade, with Anzu and Ryou watching from a short distance. 'This girl has some serious mood swings... '
Ryou began to go back inside, but only turned around to face his Mistress. "Mistress..." Ryou called out gently to the girl. "Aren't you coming back in as well...?"
"I'm staying out here... my legs are tired," Anzu stat completely down on the ground, leaning her back against the wall for more support. "And I told you NOT to call me that," she added.
Ryou bowed his head a bit. "I'm sorry..." his calm apologetic voice spoken, almost making Anzu to forget what she was upset with him about. "Do you want me to... accompany you?"
She waved her hand lazily in protest. "I'm fine by myself, so get inside."
'And I thought she was in a better mood...' Ryou obeyed and went inside, moping and sighing on his way.
After he disappeared from her sight, Anzu sighed in relaxation. "Finally... I can have some time to myself..."

"Onii-chan, were are you going?" Shizuka asked, after the two finished up a game.
"I'm just gonna go outside for a sec, alright? I need to think where we gonna go after here," Jounouchi replied. He turned around to his sister, and handed out his hand. "Here, go and play some more games, alright?" Shizuka smiled and took the money in his hands. He returned the smile and headed outside.
Anzu turned her head around as she heard someone exiting through the doors. Her blush immediately came and gone as her crush walked closer to her. 'Jounouchi-kun... he's coming toward me!'
As he finally reached Anzu, he leaned against the wall, his hand trailing into his pocket. He took his hand out of his pocket, with a small box grasping into his hands. Anzu stared at the item in his hand, feeling a familiar feeling returning again.
-
'Ci-cigarettes... I haven't smoked one in such a long time...'
-
She turned the other way. 'It's not like... I want to start again... But I wonder if Jounouchi-kun would...'
"SMOKING IS VERY BAD!" vulgar voice cried from a distance. Before Jounouchi had the chance to lit it up, it was already discarded from his hand and on the ground.
"What the hell!?" Jounouchi cried, as he looked down at the now ruined cigarette, and back up to Ryou's angered face.
Ryou crossed his arms. "I have researched on that thing, and read how people can die from smoking for so long. And as one of Anzu's friends, I WILL NOT LET YOU RUIN YOUR LIFE!"
Everyone, including Shizuka who followed Ryou outside, stared at the boy. A small sweat drop appeared on the back of Anzu's head, while a gleeful smile appeared on Shizuka's face, her eyes glistening in the process. 'He's so cool... and look so heroic while he said that. With him around, he can make Onii-chan stop going out with his stupid gang!'
"Ryou!" Anzu yelled, standing up on her feet. "Why'd you go and do that for!? You don't take things from others and do what you want!"
"But, Anzu-"
"He had every right to do so!" Shizuka said for Ryou's defense. She crossed her arms and nodded her head. "I agree on whatever Ryou-kun does! And what he did was right,"
"You only say that because you're obsessed with him. Besides, you wouldn't say or do anything if you saw Jounouchi smoking if Ryou wasn't around." Anzu said, in a matter-of -fact type of voice.
"You're in no place to be talking about being "obsessed" with someone, Anzu... Since the one who you, oh LOVE so much, is right there, Katsu-"
Before Shizuka finished saying the name, a hand clasped tightly around her mouth. Anzu smiled nervously, while Shizuka was fighting against Anzu's grip. "I apologize for Ryou's behavior, so let's just go!" Anzu walked ahead of the two boys, dragging Shizuka with her as her hand was still covering the other's mouth.

Anzu munched on her anpan; her face showing bored-like expression. Ryou looked down at the back of Anzu's shoes, knowing that's probably the only thing he can see of his Mistress as he walked. Shizuka clasped tightly around Ryou's arm, while Jounouchi continued to look at his watch. All walked throughout Domino without uttering.
Greatly being displeased at the silence, Anzu stopped suddenly, causing Ryou to bump into her. "This day really sucks!" she cried, raising both arms in the air.
"What do you mean, Anzu?" Shizuka questioned. "This day is just so perfect!" She snuggled closer to Ryou, making Anzu have a slight feel of jealously, but was quickly discarded as she began to talk again.
"After the arcade, we walked around, then rest at a park, and sat down for about an hour doing absolutely nothing, then walked around some more, and then went to the Burger World, still saying nothing, and now we're walking around again! This day is getting nowhere!"
"Well, what did you expect us to do?"
"I thought your brother was going to take us to the mall, or the amusement park, or do something fun! But I guess he's too cheap to take us to interesting places," Anzu crossed her arms.
"What do you mean 'cheap'!?" Jounouchi cried in protest. "I just treated you guys to lunch!"
"Even though I paid for half of the meal!"
"Well, I was the one who took us there in the car!"
"Speaking of cars, why the hell are we all walking for!? My legs are tired from all of this!"
"It's good work-out... besides..." Jounouchi eyed her up and down. "...You can use one anyway..."
Her face turned red with fury, the remark even caught Ryou's and Shizuka's full attention. "ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M FAT!?"
"That's what the small gut down there is saying. And eating that anpan probably isn't helping..."
Anzu's fisted balled up, and hurled toward Jounouchi's face, leaving a trail of blood from his nostrils. "YOU JERK!" She grasped onto Ryou's wrist, pulling him along with her as she began walking away. "We're going home! See you tomorrow Shizuka..." Anzu yelled over he shoulder, soon disappearing from sight.
Jounouchi held his hand tightly around his nose, watching the girl leave. "Never knew a girl can throw such a punch like that..."
"You deserved it!" Shizuka cried, turning her back on him. "That was really mean... what you said to Anzu..."
"It's not my fault if it's true..."
"Take me home right now, Onii-chan."

"That stupid jerk!" Anzu cried, slamming the door closed. "I can't believe he said that I need to lose weight!" She nibbled more on her anpan, than threw it on the floor as she finally realized what she was doing. Anzu plopped down on the floor. "I don't believe I'm really letting this get to me... Besides, there's nothing wrong with being fat... but when he said that I was..."
"Mistress..."
"No, I never acted like this... I never cared about what others think of me... and now, I want to do my best to look perfect... and noticeable to Katsuya... like a girl..."
"...Mistress..."
"And I never acted so girly before..."
"Mistress-"
"Before... YOU SHOWED UP!"" Anzu cried, as her head shot up to the boy who continued to call her.
Ryou was taken back a little of the sudden change of his Mistress' emotions. "Mistress I-"
"It's all you're fault that I'm acting like this! I probably wouldn't have cared what Katsuya said to me... this day wouldn't have happened if YOU weren't here!"
"Mistress, I'm sorry for whatever I have caused you... please..."
He lifted his head up, the russet eyes begging, pleading for forgiveness 'No...' she told herself. 'I'm not going to give in by that innocent face... I can't...' She wiped the few tears away from her face, and looked him straight in his eyes.
-
'I will confront them... I will confront his beautiful, innocent features... and those eyes...'
-
"I wish... you can just disappear somewhere..."
"Mistress, what are you-"
"JUST GO AWAY!" her voice risen. "I was much better without you around..."
Ryou swallowed hard, searching in those impassioned eyes, filled with blinded anger of him. As he realized she was serious, he took a step back.
-
JUST GO AWAY!
-
With the words echoing in his head, he turned around, and dashed out the window, his ragged gray wings finally being freed from his back and flapping in the muggy air.
She refused to look at the window in which he flew out. "It was him... he hasn't even been here for a week... and already he completely changed me. Getting rid of him, was only for the better.

Anzu sat quietly at the table in solitude. She stared in her bowl, stirring the ramen with her chop sticks. The soft rain outside echoed in the room. "Ryou... he complained, just yesterday about eating ramen again... and made sure he enjoyed ever noodle... just for me..." she said aloud. She stomped her foot. "I hate having guilt taking over me..."
A crack of thunder rumbled loudly, as a flash of lightening filled the sky. Her eyes widen in concern and worry, remembering that Ryou hated the thunder and lightening. "And I just told him to go away! He's frightened and scared right now... I have to find him."
Anzu stood up, grabbed her jacket and umbrella and went out the door, in search for lost boy. The sun set long ago, making the search even harder without light and the fact that it's night. "It's the first time... I'm feeling so ridiculous of hurting someone else's feelings..."
"RYOU! RYOU, WHERE ARE YOU!?" Anzu cried through the rain, hoping to get a reply. "ANSWER ME RYOU!"
She ran all over Domino, calling out his name and getting no response. A park was nearby, which was eerily scary at night. Anzu sat by a nearby tree, catching her breath. She tossed the umbrella aside and bang her head on bark, not caring about the pain she's inflicting on herself.
"I'm so stupid..." she whispered. "I should have never told him to go... never..." Anzu sighed. "It's been less than a week... and I was changed so much already... I would have never opened up to anyone so easily... and it was thanks to him... his sweet innocence... and how much he tried to make me feel better, I only pushed it away..."
Her body was drench, along with hair, in water. She didn't care, her body and appearance didn't matter a bit, only Ryou's. That beautiful, pale glow around him, and the soft tenderness lingering around his body was most important; something Anzu's body couldn't compare to. The thought of it all being ruined was more than enough to make the girl even worse.
"And I ruined that beauty... all because I was so selfish... Because I was upset that he made me feel so different... and made me feel so different about myself. A feeling that made me scare, which only made me push him away..."
-
Anzu sat at that spot, well pass over an hour. She wrapped her wet arms around herself and closed her eyes. "... He would be comforting me right now... even if I didn't want it. But at least I knew I was safe whenever he did." She sighed as mixed tears and rain trickled down her cheeks. "I don't know why I should even try to find... after all that I said and did... I doubt he was hiding from me when I called out his name..." A slight dizziness swept over her. "Whatever he made me feel over the pass few days... actually felt nice... Maybe they weren't changed feelings... just something he probably uncover in which I hid... And he clings on me so much... I wonder why... I'm nowhere like the other girls out there that he would rather be with..."A blackness hovered over her mind, fogging all thoughts. Before going unconscious, she uttered, "Ryou... I would rather have myself given up if your beautiful innocence is ever shattered...

Okay... flat out, I was just lazy and didn't feeling like typing it... Sorry! And this chapter is even all that long... Sorry for my laziness. Well... uh... anyway....during my time of not typing, I did other stuff! Like...read fanfics (and not finishing mines) and ooh! I watched this really cool anime "Gilgamesh." It was created by the guy who made Cyborg 009... Now, I said "CREATED" not "DRAWN BY" Sorry, I really, find the 009 style really weird and stuff... but Gilgamesh is SO GOOD! You all have to download it and watch it! And the one who sings the opening song is Koda Kumi, who sings the FFX-2 songs! So... go to that animesuki site, but don't download the Live Evil people group, because some of the episodes were messed up... and of course you need the bit torrent and stuff. I even made a music video tooooo! It goes to the Ayumi Hamasaki Song, "Surreal." Though the subtitles are annoying in it, I think it's nice. Hmm...what else... I downloaded "Hikaru no Go" and cried when Sai left... He's my favorite character! I also downloaded "Asagiri no Miko" That's a really funny, short series... and the songs are done by Hayashibara Megumi.... And now, I'm watching this really cute series called "Aishiteru zu Baby" It's SO CUTE! And I love Yuzuyu too! Hmm... what else can I talk say.... MARS probably won't be updated for a while.... SORRY U And uh... I have more, but it ain't that important... so.... See ya! Oh yeah.... I mad... because the licensed Mermaid Melody and I didn't finish watching it all... Okay, I'm done ranting... something that people wouldn't read anyway
