[Chapter 4]
~
Winter was coming, and Anzu did love the cold weather. It was better then the hot summer days. What she really loved was the snow. It was the end of November, and Harte High was preparing to enter the month full of holidays. She smiled at the fact that Christmas vacation was soon to come. 'So I don't have to tutor that Mutou.' She growled at the name. There time together made her feel…uncomfortable when they were around each other. Instead of that cold tone he would normally strike up at her, he speaks to her kindly and warmly. For the past weeks, when she would be walking past his table, he would stare at her. But it was different then how he would normally glare at her. It's like he was watching her with friendly eyes. Anzu shivered and kept on walking towards her house. A cold breeze passed by with brown leave flying past her. She shivered of the coldness and hugged tightly her books in her arms. 'Winter would be coming sooner than I thought.'
"Mazaki!" A voice called out. The girl's head jerked up and she blinked her eyes. She turned around to see a boy in her red and black school uniform running up towards her. She scowled knowing it was Yami, with his spiky hair. She turned her head away from the boy. He stopped near her, catching his breath. "Hold…up…I…want to…talk to…you…" He panted.
Anzu huffed her chest. "What is there to talk about, Mutou?" She spat nastily. She turned her head to glare at the boy. "If you're here to play a trick on me, or embarrass me, I have no time for that anymore."
Yami held his hands up in defense. "Look, I won't do any of that. I swear to god." She rolled her eyes at him. He then put his school bag down. "See, nothing of some sort to hurt you." He smiled nervously.
Her eyes still held anger towards him. Yami sighed. "Look, I was just asking if… maybe you could… er…" Anzu was starting to tap her fingers on her arm, showing she was getting annoyed. Yami bit his lip and was blushing at what he was about to say. "You've been tutoring me for quiet awhile, and I was just thinking over our sessions if we could um…be friends?" He put his hand out towards her.
Anzu looked confusingly at him. She blinked her eyes at his hand. 'It's just a trick! He's getting me to trust him, and then at the end of the school year, he'll embarrass me again. I won't fall for it.' She narrowed her eyes. "What are you getting at, Mutou?" She said in a low cold tone.
He shook his head. "I'm not getting at anything, I swear. My friends would kill me, knowing I'm trying to do this." He was blushing, but at the same time quite sad. He sighed out again. "Anzu, I'm really sorry for all those things I have done in the past." He said with all his heart. His deep voice was wondering into Anzu's head. "I just feel… really terrible for all the past mistakes I put upon you. It's not really my fault, honestly." He looked up at her with his serious amethyst eyes. He took her hand. Anzu froze. "My friends… I don't know what they have against you. I truly feel it's my entire fault that they hate you. But I don't hate you." Then with pledging eyes he stared into the depths of her sapphire blue eyes. "Please… can we start over and be friends?"
'This guy is serious.' She thought. Her heart was racing and she was speechless. She blinked her eyes to get away from his gaze. She took slow breaths and then smirked. "You must have taken a lot of practice to come up with those lines." Yami blinked his eyes. Anzu could have sworn she hurt him from the inside. She slipped her hand from his and embraced her books. "I applaud also for that great performance you did. Maybe you'll become one great actor." She turned away leaving the boy all lone.
Yami blushed in embarrassment. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. 'I guess this is how she feels too, rejection from everybody. But why does it hurt really much to me. It was only one girl.' He opened his eyes and saw the brunette a good distance form him. 'Maybe it's because I've never been turned down in friendship.' He bit his lip and picked up his school bag. "Plus… I didn't practice those lines… It really did come up from my heart…" He whispered into the wind. He took in a deep breath, and then started to walk slowly towards his house. The funny thing was, they lived next door to one another, which didn't go unnoticed by the two.
'Maybe I went a bit too harsh. But he does deserve it. His friends are so… immature!' She clenched her hand. 'Gee… I can't even come up with great insults… but only towards Yami.' Curiously, Anzu slightly looked over her shoulder to see Yami walking in a slow pace, with his head down to the Earth. 'I guess he's really sad. I rejected the only friendship that was offered to me by another freshman.' She then slowed down her pace, hoping that she might walk beside Yami. Anzu started to get a bit impatient. She sighed and turned around. "Hey, Mutou." She said lowly. 'Damn my guilt!' She cursed in her thoughts.
Yami looked up and saw Anzu in front of him, a few feet away. The girl sighed. "If you want to be my friend, you have got to earn my trust." She glared at him. "And if this is some sick joke, something WILL happen terribly to you. And I CAN do so." Yami's eyes brightened and he smiled. Anzu froze at his expression. 'Why… why's he smiling like that?' She then felt her cheek go red.
"It's not a joke or bet, what so ever. You have my word." He then walked up to her with his heart-warming smile. Anzu has never seen him smile that way before. There was this different smile he had when he was laughing with his friends, or trying to flirt with girls. "So… can I walk you home?" He asked kindly.
Anzu turned her head away, trying to hide her blush. "Fine. But that doesn't mean you've already earned my trust." She said coldly.
"Yeah, I know." Yami felt so relieved. But the problem was his friends. Both Anzu and he know that they belonged in different crowds. He was part of the in-crowd, and she was the out. 'If they found out, they'd probably want to kill her or… kick me out.' He took a deep breath and bit his lip. He glances towards the girl. She was red on her cheeks, but seemed to have her eyes narrowed before her and her lip pouted out cutely. 'Huh? Did I think she was… cute?' He blushed and kept his eyes before him. They walked in silence towards their homes, not saying what was in their minds.
~
After dropping off her son off to daycare, Anzu walked down the empty streets towards her school. Domino High was only two blocks away from the daycare, and she decided to just walk this trip. Anzu has never walked to school for a very long time. She smiled at the morning sunshine, the brightness lifting up her spirit from all worries and thoughts. 'I just noticed how lively it is here than back at Harte.' She looked up at the blue sky and smiles freely. Then she looked down to see her new school nearing her. She frowned a bit and shivered. 'Oh no… I'm getting nervous of going to school.' She stopped her walk and suddenly felt uncomfortable in her pink uniform. She looked down upon it. 'Well… I rather prefer the red and black uniforms of Harte than pink and blue…' She tugged on her blue mini skirt. She then turned red. 'It sucks that this school only has one length for every size. Mine's too short for me!' She bit her lip and tugged her skirt a bit lower. What made it even more badly was that Anzu had long legs, making the skirt go show of her thighs. 'Er…'
A chuckle behind her made the girl go even redder. She turned around to see a familiar white-haired guy. She gasped a bit and bowed her head in embarrassment. "Hey!" The guy waved. "What are you doing?" He asked in his gentle tone.
Anzu looked up and laughed nervously. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Um… nothing." She glanced at him and blinked her eyes on him. She narrowed them slightly. "Um… do I know you?" She asked timidly.
The guy smiled widely. "Well, I hope you do. It's me, Ryou Bakura. I helped you with your stuff to your car." He chuckled a bit at the girl's expression.
She gasped. "Oh yeah!" she blushed again. She then knocked upon her head. "I'm pretty much forgetful." She laughed nervously. "If you forgot as well, I'm Anzu Mazaki." She waved shyly. He smiled at her and gestured if she wanted to walk with him. The girl instantly nodded her head. Then they started on their path towards Domino High.
"So… It's your first day of school?" Ryou asked her. Anzu nodded. He smiled at her then faced to where their school was. "Do you want me to show you around? It's only my third week here, but I pretty much know where everything is."
Anzu looked up at him brightly. "Really? I would love for you to show me!" she clasped her hands together in excitement. "I was thinking my friends Shizuka or Kaiba would, but you beat them to it." She smiled with a tiny giggle in her tone.
Ryou blinked his eyes. "You know Kaiba?" He asked confusingly.
She nodded. "Uh-huh. I'm his new assistant in his company. I met Shizuka there also." A tiny breeze blew by, and she tucked her hair behind her ear.
Ryou's brows furrowed. "But I thought Kaiba's assistant was going to be…" He blinked his eyes again and looked towards Anzu. The girl looked up weirdly at him. Ryou shrugged and shook his head. "Never mind." He smiled at her to change the mood. "Um, can I see your schedule?" He asked.
Anzu nodded and went looking in her bag. She pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her newfound friend. She smiled to her self as she watched him gaze at it. 'Wow! I made a friend already,' she giggled in her mind, 'just like Yugi did. I guess this place is really perfect for us to live in.' She grinned cheekily. "Hey! We're in four classes together." Ryou looked up and pointed at the classes. "You're in two with my other friends." Anzu looked up at him. "You get to met them when we get to school."
Anzu smiled brightly. 'I guess this is going to be the best day of my life. Well except for those moments of Yugi in it. But this is a great day!' She thought, while staring up at the blue sky.
They walked in through the tall buildings of Domino High together. It was early, but many students came to school early, to hang out and meet with their teachers about late homework. Anzu watched as all students commute together. They were together talking, not caring for those passing by. Some walked in pairs through the halls, talking endlessly about recent events. There were even a few teachers conversing with their students out their doors. 'Here, no one gives me those dirty looks.' She smiles softly to herself. 'This is how it feels when you walk down the halls, with no one staring at you weirdly as you walk by.'
"Mornin' Ryou!" Anzu and Ryou looked up to see a tall blond guy, who looked to be their ages. He had messy sandy blonde hair, with chocolate brown eyes. He wore the blue school uniform, but his blazer wasn't buttoned like most other guys around. He walked around casually, with a bad guy look. He walked up to the two then stopped short to see an unfamiliar brunette. He smiled sheepishly. "Ah… looks like we got a cute new student. And she's Ryou's girlfriend?" He said in a New York accent.
Both Ryou and Anzu blushed deeply. "For your information Jounochi, she's not my girlfriend. We just met." Ryou said. The guy just nodded his head, not believing him. Ryou sighed. He looked towards the brunette beside him. "Anzu, I'd like you to me Jounochi Katsuya." The girl looked up in surprise at the guy. "Jounochi, this is Anzu Mazaki."
Jounochi smiled sheepishly. He stuck his hand out forward. "Hey der! You can call me Jou for short." He looked over at Ryou. "He's a stiff guy, and he calls everyone formally." Ryou narrowed his eyes at him and frowned. Anzu giggled a bit and shook Jou's hand
"It's nice to meet you, Jou." She smiled up at him. "By any chance," She furrowed her brows. "Are you related to Shizuka Katsuya?" She asked.
Jou blinked his brown eyes at her. "Yeah. Why?" He asked. He raised a brow. "How do you know her?"
Anzu smiled. "Well, just asking." She laughed nervously. "I actually met her at Kaiba Corp." She smiled proudly. "I'm the new assistant of Seto Kaiba."
"Kaiba…" Jou growled at the name.
She shrunk back at the enraged expression of Jou's. Ryou shook his head. He neared the girl and whispered, "He and Kaiba don't get along very well." Anzu looked at Ryou. "What I heard from Honda, my other friend, is that Kaiba and his sister use to date each other. After five months, they broke up, but no one knows who was the one who wanted to end their relationship. Jou got mad either way, and he's still mad at Kaiba. They were rivals of some sort from the beginning. And he didn't really approve of the two dating." Then Ryou started to chuckle. "But the thing is, they hang out in the same crowd."
Anzu's mouth was hanging open like a small O. She blinked her eyes then started at Jou. The guy was clenching his hand into a fist in front of his face, making his knuckles turn white. She could have sworn Jou was blowing off steam through his ears, but it was her imagination. A voice snapped her out of examining the blonde, as Ryou and she turned their heads to see a tall guy with spiked up brown hair. "Hey guys!" He greeted them. Ryou smiled and waved a bit. When the guy saw Jou not responding, and still muttering under his breath, the guy hit him at the back of his head.
Jou nearly fell to the floor, but he recovered and stood up straight. A hand was placed upon the throbbing pain. "Hey! What was that for!?" he yelled at the taller guy. Jou then showed off his fists.
"Dude, you were in another world again, so I had to bring you back to reality." The guy said in a suave manner. He just shrugged at the young guy. Ryou sighed at this, and Anzu couldn't help but watch their little bickering.
She giggled. "Do they always fight?" Anzu asked towards Ryou.
The guy nodded. "That's Honda Hiroto. He and Jounochi are best friends. But they argue almost about everything, which makes their arguments pointless." He sighed and shook his head. Ryou looked at his wristwatch and looked at it in surprise. He turned to Anzu. "Well, if you want me to show you around, we got enough time to at least let me show you where your locker is." Anzu tore her eyes away from the two fighting boys and nodded. Ryou turned his attention towards his friends. "I got to go and show Anzu where her locker is, see you at break." Jou and Honda were having a staring contest, while growling at one another. He sighed when they weren't even listening. Anzu giggled and followed Ryou.
As they neared Anzu's new locker, a certain blonde girl closed hers and gasped to see Ryou. She was quite taller than Anzu, and had a perfect body like a super model. Her golden hair waved down, only to curl a bit at the ends. She wore heavy makeup that brightened her almost lavender eyes. Anzu noticed she didn't have a problem with the blue mini skirt that showed off her long legs as well. "Hey there Ryou, what's up?" Her voice was seductive and deep. She looked over at a small brunette. "Is this your girlfriend, Ryou?" The two before her blushed instantly. "She's really cute, and looks to share the same traits as you do." She giggled. "You've pick the perfect girl for you, Ryou."
The guy boiled. "She's not my girlfriend!" His surprise outburst caught everyone attention around them. Anzu and the blonde girl blinked their eyes at his protest. Ryou laughed nervously and waved at the students around. "Sorry about that." The students gave he one last odd look then returned to their things they were doing before. Anzu giggled and pat the white haired guy's shoulder.
"Gees, Ryou. I've never heard you burst up like that. You've got me there, boy." The girl pointed out. Anzu giggled. The girl looked at Anzu and flipped back her hair. "So what's this missy's name?" She wondered.
"Oh!" Anzu bowed her head in a shy greeting. "My name is Anzu Mazaki. I'm a new student here in Domino High." She stood up straight with the girl oddly glancing at her. Anzu shrunk back and laughed nervously.
The girl smirked. "Aren't you the shy type?" Anzu blushed. The girl glanced at Ryou, who was still a bit red. "But I do think you two make such a cute couple!" She pinched Ryou's cheek like he's a little boy. Ryou glared a bit. She stopped then gave her hand towards Anzu. "I'm Mai Kujaku, one of Ryou's friends." Anzu took Mai's hand and shook it.
"She's also Jou's girlfriend." Ryou said while rubbing his cheek.
Mai winked at Anzu. "So don't be taking my little devil!" She pulled the strap of her bag. "I'm off to class. I still have to check up on Jou anyways." She turned to walk away. "So I'll catch you two later!" She waved and disappeared through the halls.
Anzu smiled at the blonde girl. Ryou grumbled then turned towards the lockers. "There's your locker. It's beside Mai's." He smiled a bit. "Aren't you lucky." He mumbled.
"Where's yours?" Anzu asked while opening her locker. It opened and Anzu dumped in a few books inside.
Ryou pointed across from her locker. "Mine's across." He pointed to the locker next to Anzu's. "Beside yours is Kaiba's." Anzu blushed a bit. Ryou smiled at her. "Let's go to our first class early. The students who go to Mr. Aiuchi's class normally wants to go there when the tardy bell rings. They really don't like him cause he can be a bit… loud." He told her. Anzu giggled and then closed her locker. She heaved her bag on her shoulder and walked to her first class with Ryou. 'Hm… I haven't seen Shizuka or Seto yet. I wonder where they are?' Anzu thought.
It was a tiring day, even if it was Anzu's first day. 'I forgot how hard it is to catch up with your school work.' She laid back on the bark of the Sakura tree that grew in the school lunch yard. She stared up above her to watch the sunlight peeking through the pinkish blossoms. 'The last time I was like in this situation was after two months of Yugi's birth.' She smiled softly upon the thought of her little boy. 'Gosh, school is getting into my head and I haven't thought once of the boy.' She bent her head down to her lap. She had an open book and a half eaten sandwich on her lap. 'I hope he's having as much fun as I am.' She thought quietly.
Anzu jumped in surprise as someone plopped down next to her on the green grass. She looked up and saw Ryou right into his brown eyes. She blushed then smiled. "What are you doing here alone, Anzu?" He asked. He placed his bag beside him and sat cross-legged beside her. Anzu shrugged her shoulders and leaned her head on the tree. "Mind if I eat with you?" He asked. Anzu shook her head, not minding at all. He smiled at her and took out his lunch from his bag. He unwrapped a sandwich and took a bite.
Anzu giggled to herself. 'He's kinda cute.' She then blushed. Ryou blinked his eyes and then stared at her. "How come you don't want to eat with us over there?" He pointed towards a table under a big shady tree. Anzu saw Mai sitting upon Jou's lap, while listening to Honda talk about something. Anzu met Miho, Honda's girlfriend, in her social studies class. Honda had his arm wrapped around the girl's waist. Shizuka was sitting on the table beside her brother, and Kaiba was across them, acting as if the conversation Honda was talking about, was boring. Anzu was also introduced to Otogi Ryuuji in her homeroom. He was nice and all, but he could be a big flirt with all girls. He sat at the same side as Kaiba.
The brunette shrugged her shoulders. "I just don't feel up to it today." She replied in a sigh. "Maybe tomorrow I'll join your friends. I just want to relax." She smiled at him. Ryou nodded his head and leaned his back on to the Sakura tree. It became quiet, as the two continued to finish out their lunches.
"I think it's beautiful in this quiet part of the yard." Ryou said, almost in a whisper, but audible for Anzu to hear. Anzu nodded in agreement. She was staring up above her as well. She smiled to herself. 'Funny, I always find a place in school yards where it's quiet and peaceful like this.' She breathed out softly. 'I would always be alone. But then…' Her chest started to burn and her eyes was beginning to water. She bit her lip and glared at nothing. 'Er… why? Why can't I forget about him?'
Ryou noticed this on Anzu. He got a bit worried. "Anzu, are you ok?" He questioned. The girl blinked back her tears and looked back down into Ryou's soft brown eyes. She sniffed a little then smiled brightly. "Nothing's wrong." She replied gently. Ryou nodded slowly, but he still held that gaze of worry. He then turned his head to look out straight forward where all the students were. "Did you have a close friend in your old school?" Ryou suddenly asked.
Anzu was taken back by the question. Her chest was swelling again. "Um…" Her voice cracked and she turned her head away if Ryou looked at her. "I guess… only one." She didn't feel comfortable, but she wanted to be honest to him. 'But I lied to him that Yugi was actually my brother.' She said in her thoughts. She bowed her head.
Ryou looked as if he where surprised at her answer. "Only one?" Anzu blushed. He crossed his arms. "I thought you had many. You're such a nice and pretty girl, Anzu. I mean, I only met you and I feel we can be close friends." When Ryou realized what he just told her, he blushed madly and bowed his head so she wouldn't see his expression.
She was flattered and didn't know what to say. Her face softened. "Thanks Ryou, for saying that." She said in a gentle but low tone. She smiled kindly. "But… you don't really know me very well." She took a deep breath and looked above her. She saw the wind play through the pink blossoms of the tree. She smiled again. "Ryou," She said. He looked up at her, with traces of his bangs over his chocolate eyes. "I feel… we can be close friends too." The guy smiled brightly at her. Anzu turned her head towards him with the same smile as his. "And I hope we can." Little petals danced around the two, with the gentle breeze circling them.
Anzu watched as she saw the sweet pink Sakura petals waved around her. 'This… this seems all too familiar.' Her heart started pounding in her ears. 'He was… the only one… that really knows me…' She clenched her hands. 'And…' Her thoughts were suddenly becoming faint. 'And…' The tears were coming back again.
Mai looked over at the secluded area, where there were only two familiar students under one of the largest Sakura trees. She smiled widely, not listening to her friend Honda talk endlessly. She watched the two, like they were almost sharing the same common interest. 'Something tells me that those two are going to be more than just… best friends.' Her cherry lips curved into a malicious smirk.
Shizuka laughed at the corny joke that Honda said. She rolled her eyes and saw Mai staring over at something. She tilted her head a bit and looked over at what Mai was watching. She blinked her ocean blue eyes to see a brunette with a white haired boy. Shizuka's brows went up in surprise. 'Aw! Look at those two! They look like they are already a couple.' She smiled widely. She blinked her eyes again. She remembered that picture she saw of Anzu with the real father of Yugi. She frowned. 'Anzu was really happy in that picture too. They… they also made a cute couple as well.' She rested her chin on her hand while watching them.
The two girls weren't the only ones keeping an eye on Ryou and Anzu. His deep blue eyes watched them closely. He frowned as he saw them laugh together at a remark Anzu said. 'Why do I care? It's not like I have feelings towards the girl.' He looked at Anzu. She was beautiful. Her hair was waving around in the wind with the pink blossoms enhancing the sparkles around her. Seto shook his head of the thought. 'Er…I've only known her for a week, and she's my assistant in Kaiba Corp.' He turned his head away and ended up looking at the young girl he knew all too well. 'I've got my heart broken once, and I'm not letting it be broken again.' He vowed silently. He closed his eyes from the brightness of daylight.

It was very crowded, but she got a close seat to watch the game. She wrapped her scarf closely to hide her rosy cheeks. She looked around worriedly, hoping no one noticed her. She had a dark coat on with a dark blue scarf that was given to her for Christmas. She sighed out in relief and waited patiently for the game to start. Anzu got invited to watch Yami play the open season of his basket ball games. She blushed a bit and brought the scarf higher to hide her reddened cheeks.
It's been weeks since they secretly hung out together after and before school. Anzu was still a bit snobbish around Yami, but she actually did enjoy his company. During their tutoring sessions, they would spend it at his or her house. So after they would have dinner with each other's family. Anzu already knew of the Mutou family. The Masakis and Mutous were very close families, and they would sometimes have gatherings. Anzu were forced into them, and Yami was never there. His mother would always say his out with his friends and get really mad about it. Anzu smiled softly to herself. The Mutous are really nice, and she liked Yami's grandpa. There were also times where they would hang out in the parks or café. Yami stated that none of his friends or other students would go there. Anzu was a bit surprised that Yami would sacrifice his time to be with her. This made her a bit uneasy around him now a days.
'I guess Megumi and Aikawa were right… I guess I am falling for him.' Anzu gasped in her mind. 'What!? No way! It's just a stupid crush.' She yelled into her mind. 'I mean… if I do fall for him, I'm going to get my heart broken. I still haven't even met any other fishes in the sea.' She argued in her thoughts.
The buzzard rang, and the crowed in the gym all started to cheer out frantically. Anzu perked up and saw the team of her school come out of the locker rooms. They ran out waving at their fans. Some were even dribbling the ball to show off their skills, and Yami was one of them. Anzu turned her head at the screaming girl fans. She looked at them, all googly-eyed and screaming out loud holding big banners saying, 'We love you Yami!' And bunches of other things.
Anzu sighed disgustingly and rolled her eyes. 'Good thing I'm not like that.' She shook her head and turned her attention back to the game. She looked up, only to see amethyst eyes staring into hers. Her heart skipped a beat and saw Yami smiled upon her. She blinked her eyes. The brunette cocked a brow and looked around to see if anyone else was responding to his expression. She found none and turned back. Yami chuckled then huddled into the circle.
The white moon shined brightly upon her creamy face. The stars sparkled in the night sky, reflecting in the depths of her sapphire eyes. Yami couldn't help by stare at the brunette. Anzu smiled softly and hugged her arms tightly around her. "That was some game. I've never really been to one before." Her words were just flowing through his mind, like a song that was played softly and lovely. He blinked in surprise as she stared up at him. "That last shot you made was exciting." She giggled and threw her arms out. "And you won!"
Yami chuckled at her carefree attitude. "Well, it wasn't that exciting." He said in his deep tone. Anzu raised her brows and dropped her arms down. She sighed and just walked up beside Yami. "What?" He asked, as he was suddenly being left from Anzu's side. He watched her walk down the street hurriedly. He ran up beside her. "Why are you in a hurry?" He asked.
Anzu just shook her head. Yami was still eager to know what was in her mind. The girl stopped her walk, and he looked at her in question. She sighed out, and a little mist escaped her breath. "Why?" She asked suddenly. Yami became confused. "Why did you decide to hang out with me, Bitchy Masaki?" The guy was a bit shocked at her question. Anzu sighed and bowed her head down. "You could have gone celebrating with your team, but you… wanted to stay with me." She whispered.
Yami's eyes softened and he lifted her chin with his hand. She looked up at his eyes and saw the friendly and caring gaze upon her. Her heart froze again and a blush crept up her cheeks. "Because… I…like you Anzu…" Now it was his turn to brightly turn red. "And… more than just a friend." He let go of her chin and bowed his head down in embarrassment. Anzu's eyes widened and her heart was beating fast. 'I… I can't believe this is happening…This… this can't be real…'
