Summary: When Anzu's diary is read and published, secrets are spilled and truths are revealed. Can Anzu explain her actions to Yugi and the others?
Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh is owned by Kazuki Takahashi, not me (I wish... I'd be rich! -). Anything that was mentioned in Yu-Gi-Oh (characters, settings, ect) is not owned by me. The story, on the other hand, was my idea. So no copying! I also made up Anzu's house and parents, since they aren't in the manga yet. There was only one page in Anzu's house while doing her homework in book five. I also made up the principal, because I don't know who their principal is. O.o;
Info: I am using the Japanese names (such as Anzu, Jonouchi, Honda) and spelling them according to the English manga, published by Shonen Jump. And, since he doesn't have a name yet in the manga, the soul locked in the Millennium Puzzle shall be called Yami, like in the English anime. Do not send me hate mail about names! Also; I am not going to cuss (the farthest I'm going is "sucks") in this fic, it's rated PG for... other reasons.... wink I would hate to give away the plot, so I can't tell you the couples... But it's not slash. Thoughts are written in bold. Journal entries in italics.
Chapter One
"Aaaah! Where is that thing?!"
Anzu continued to dig around in her backpack.
"I know I put it in here!" Unsuccessful, she turned her backpack upside-down, dumping out the contents onto her bed. Sifting through the loose papers and books, she groaned.
"I must have left it at school..." she said out loud. Putting everything back in her backpack, a wave of fear ran through her. What if a teacher found it? What if someone else found it? What if someone read it?
She winced at that thought. A diary was a personal thing! No one was supposed to read it! It held her deepest, darkest secrets and feelings of those around her.
Heh, no one would want to read that junk anyway... she thought, and grinned. Her life was boring. Same routine every day, nothing new or exciting... No one would read it. With that in mind, she laid back onto her pillow, hands behind her head.
But suddenly a recent entry flashed into her mind. She went pale. That entry was exciting. That entry wasn't boring or stupid. That entry was private. She hoped that no one would get far enough into her diary to read that entry...

Anzu set her backpack on her desk and sat down. She was about ten minutes early, and none of the guys were there yet. Odd. Yugi was normally early as well. She looked around. Other students hung around the classroom, but their teacher hadn't arrived yet.
Sighing, Anzu thought, Shoot! I wanted to talk to him about my diary! She closed her eyes and groaned quietly.
"Are you OK?"
Anzu jumped and looked to her right. Yugi stood there, concern filling his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm OK..... Good morning!" she said, trying to sound cheerful. Yugi smiled.
"It is, actually! Grandpa and I dueled this morning, but I had to leave before we finished. I got to use a new opening move on him; it freaked him out! You should have seen his face, Anzu!" Anzu smiled and turned her attention to the doorway as Jonouchi and Honda entered, talking about some TV show or something. Anzu didn't pay attention. In Jonouchi's hand was her diary.
"Jonouchi! Where'd you find that?!" she cried, jumping out of her seat.
Jonouchi raised an eyebrow and looked at the diary. "Oh yeah! Mr. Sugoro asked me to give this to you. He also said to meet him in his office. Jeez, was I freaked when he walked over to me saying, 'Katsuya Jonouchi?'" he explained, handing her the diary.
Anzu took it, asking, "Did you read it?"
Jonouchi shook his head. "Was I supposed to?" Anzu sighed. "No," she replied, relieved. She grabbed her bag and walked out towards Mr. Sugoro's office. Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda watched her walk down the hall, and around the corner.

He thinks it's a story?! Anzu thought, sitting in Mr. Sugoro's office.
"Um, I write it in my free time," she replied nervously.
Mr. Sugoro smiled, saying, "There's no need to be nervous! A story like that should have some recognition, though. You should send it to a publisher, after a bit of proofreading!"
Anzu nodded, lying quickly, "Thank you. I'm just finishing it up, adding some last details. I was going to send it to a publisher as soon as I typed it up."
"If you'd like, I could have someone type it for you, when you're done!" Mr. Sugoro offered. Anzu winced. Mr. Sugoro was not one for taking "no" for an answer.
"Yeah, OK. That'd be really helpful!" she said, grinning falsely.
Mr. Sugoro said, "OK! It'd be nice if you gave it to me sometime this week. Just put it on my desk whenever you have some spare time. You can return to class." Anzu smiled and stood, her diary safely in her backpack.
"Thank you!" she said, turning and walking out the door. As soon as the door was closed, her smile faded. Her diary, a book? To be sent to a publisher?! She went pale again. There was nothing to do but hope it was rejected.
