"I knew you'd be here, you know," Came the sweet, calm voice of Yugi.Akima was sitting on the bench infront of the river. Her beautiful smile was enough to make Yugi's heart melt. It was raining, and she took her coat off. Always the mysteries one, dark eyes and carless hair. She was, fashionably sensitve, but to cool to care.
"That right Einstien? Bloody psychic I guess!" She said when she saw him nodding. He came and sat next to her.
The wind felt so nice on their faces, even if it was the middle of winter, and raining. The bench felt cold to Yugi's arse, and he jumped. When he saw Akima looking at him funny, he said:
"Its...cold.." At this she couldnt help but laugh. It was true that Yugi never stood up to anyone, but when he did, his opponent had nothing to say in defence. Also, there was this thing about him that she could never quite put his finger. It was some kind of charm, not maturety, or sweetness. Something different. Something she had never seen in anyone before.
"Put you're coat on the bench, then sit." She advised. As always, Yugi had something to say to this.
"But then I'd be cold"
"And?"
"Its freezing,"
"Then why did you come?"
He mumbled something she was sure she didnt want to hear. She gave a 'Huh?' look. "Coz...coz, Anzu's had an accident. We were gonna go and see her, I mean, everyone's left. I thought you might want to come so I sorta waited..." Came his soft but scared voice.
The look on Akima's face was pure fear. She and Anzu were like sisters. They told each othre their secrets, stuck up for one another, and were always toghether. Akima stood up, taking one last look at her river and told Yugi to hurry up.
"Anzu? Hey...HEY! She's awake!" Anzu heard a boy's voice piercing through her as she flinched.
"Hey, dont scream." Came the voice of Akima.
She knew it was her. She knew what her lil' sister sounded like.
"Hey, how you feeling?" She came over to her side and took her hand. Anzu looked pale, and had a bruise on her cheek.
"Mmm..."
she moaned. "Those for me?" she asked with a small smile, pointing to
all the chocolates and presents. At this everyone laughed, knowing that
she loved opening presents.
"Well, they were. But the Docs' said
that you cant eat any chocolate or move your hands. At all," Yami,
Yugi's brother said. "So, tough luck babe"
Akima and Anzu both hated
it when he said 'babe'. It just annoyed them to death! There was a
knock at the door, and the nurse (who was looking at another patient)
opened the door.
In came Seto Kaiba, his eyes searching for Anzu.
When he found her, he walked towards her. He had a huge bandage on his
forehead. Some of his hair was sticking, making him look quiet cute! He
came up to where Akima was standing. He held out his hand, and said:
"Here, you left this" It was her wristband, that said 'Make Poverty History', some pretty bracelets and in his other hand he held her schoolbag.
His
brown eyes fell to the floor when everyone in the room started to stare
at him. He dogded his way out of the room, and slammed the door. By
accident, that is. Offended, some of the guys stormed out looking for
him. Joey came up to the bed and asked: "And that was...?"
"Someone." was all that came out of her mouth. Akima nugded her lightly, smiling.
"Isnt that the guy who got you detention? He came in with you, you know." Joey said.
"I
find it hard to believe that someone as cute as him could get someone
as mean, rude and ugly as you into detention!" Akima laughed at her
joke.
Well, its true...and he gave me a ride after," the look on both her friends faces was of horror, and she laughed when she thought of what they were thinking. "Hey! Im not that stupid you know! He stayed behind till detention was over and begged me to take the lift!" she laughed again.
"Anz, for all you the guy could be a bloody pervert! Or a rapist! Or a 'slave trader'!" Akima's voice grew more and more intense as she said this.Joey, confused at this, said: "Whats a slave trader?"
"Jo-" Before Akima could shout at him,the door flew open and the boys who had gone out before came back in. Dragging Seto behind them.
"This guy try to kill you?" Tristan asked, his voice hard.
He pulled Seto infront of her. He was covered in blood, all over
his face, his clothes, even his feet!The two girls gasped at this.
Anzu's grip on Akima's hand tightened.
"...Guys? You do know thats the Prince of Egypt?" came the tiny voice from Anzu's mouth.
Joey laughed at this, thinking she was talking about the game; then Anzu gave himthe death stare.
"This is a joke,yeah?" Akima asked.
With a weak smile, Anzu spoke:
"Well, I told you guyz about it...remember? It was on the news and stuff...how the Prince was in danger and...I was telling you guys..." she trailed off as she saw the looks on their faces. It wasnt that they looked scared, just a bit dumbfounded.
There a soft 'thump' and Anzu realised that Tristan had dropped Seto on the floor. Him and the other boys slowly backed away as if he was contagious. Then they jumped as a man behind them shouted:
"Oh Ra! What have they done to you Master?" It was an old man, who looked normal...except he was wearing white gloves. He picked up Seto as if he were a pearl, and took him out of the room, leaving everyone in it a bit shaken.
