Chapter Three:
"Six minutes and thirty-two seconds," Meia said, keeping her gaze on her watch as Anzu practically jumped down the last couple of stairs and ran to her.
"Oh come on!" Anzu yelled, throwing her bag at Meia, although she caught it like nothing. (um, just came to realize that, I haven't describe Meia the way I see her so, here it is. Sorry)
"A deal is a deal." Meia said, staring straight at Anzu, her red eyes (color of FFX-2 paine) boring into Anzu's. Her purple hair, blowing against her face, was half-way down her back, except for a few strands that merely went down her face which were her bangs.
"You're going to kill us Meia! Think about innocent drivers!" Anzu said, desperate. Her sapphire blue eyes pleading Meia, her shoulder length brown hair swaying as she looked down in defeat.
"First off, I'm a lawyer, remember. I do not think about innocence as much as you do. And my job is not to save people, basically I either punish or defend them. That's it. But since you asked so nicely, I'll be benevolent towards your future," Meia said, not the least sypathetic. "You get to pick which car to use. Mine, or yours."
"What? What kind of let off is that?"
"Either that, or I pick." Meia said, not yielding.
"Fine, I pick, uhhh," Anzu said, thinking fast. She drives a sport car, but so does Meia. 'If I pick my car, she might not know how to control it as well, and go wacko without control. But if I pick her car, she might go crazy anyway. Oh boy, a lose-lose situation. Crap. Why the hell did I pick a sport car in the first place.' She thought. "Fine, I pick my car."
"Fine," Meia said, smiling. "You should be grateful that I let you off, or else we would have used my motorcycle."
"Since when did you get a motorcycle?"
"Just now," Meia said, smiling perkily, walking towards the parking lot. "I was planning to try it out today, but hey, I just have to be nice."
"Who in the world gave you a license to a motorcycle?" Anzu asked, staring at the silver and purple motorcycle in from of her. "I was surprised to see your driver's license to drive a car, much less a motorcycle?"
"What can I say, I can drive anything with a wheel on it." Meia answered, proudly.
"Come on, my car is over there." Anzu asked, still non-believing about the license. "Thank god I didn't pick your car, you were planning to trap me, and say, what this is your car huh?"
"Yes, sadly, lady luck is on your side," Meia said, shaking her head and sighing, as they got into a blue metallic Mercedes. "Besides, how else am I to get you onto the motorcycle?"
"Never."
"Heh, see." Meia said starting up the car. "Now, how was the bubbly red head?"
"She says thank you and she is now my new nurse."
"Hah, I knew I saw potential when I saw her."
"How'd you know."
"Simple, she was just so caring with each flower she caressed, I knew that she was a good nurse. But when I talked to her, she was so shy. So I asked who she was buying the flower for and why, I knew that it was the nurse you and Q were talking about. So I recommended the sakura flowers."
"Typical of a lawyer to be over analyzing things."
"But I was right, right?"
"Yeah, and why aren't you driving?" Anzu asked, seeing as the car is still parked and she haven't shifted gear yet.
"Oh, I just wanted to get the talking out of the way so I will not get distracted with driving." She said, as she turned on the CD, listening to music. "First track, Ciara, 1, 2 Step. And I suggest that you hold on."
And with that, Meia immediately shifted the car, and turned out of the parking, nearly hitting the opposite cars with her turn. She revved up the car while the music blasted in their ears, and blasted the car out of the parking lot and into the streets, cars beeping as she passed. As she turned, she weaved through the cars picking up speed, swerving her and there, while Anzu hanged on for life. When they finally reached the lights, it was turning yellow, but Meia just drove even faster while other cars stopped. Her tires screeched as she passed the light, and since the front was a bunch of red lights, she turned right, swerving on two tires, and sped off, with Anzu hanging on for dear life and praying to God that she survives this.

After finishing breakfast, Atemu and Kaiba walked down the streets of Domino, looking at cards and on occasion would go into the arcade to play games. After all, Atemu is the King of Games. Of course, with girls on their heels, they didn't exactly get to relax as much. Although Atemu didn't seemed to mind and was always polite and even encouraging some of them to throw themselves at them, he was also getting annoyed, not to mention impatient.
"Just when are we going to get your reply?" Kaiba asked, also getting impatient. "We've been walking around like this since this morning, and now its well into the afternoon."
"I know, but we have to be patient," Atemu growled, also annoyed. "We will get our reply."
"Whoever this informant is, he's pretty cocky, making us wait like this."
"Trust me, he'll tell us. He has no choice but to be cautious because either way is a lose lose situation for him."
"Who is this infor-" but before he could finish, a blue metallic Mercedes made a sharp turn, just as they were crossing the street. The two immediately jumped aside, while the car swerved to avoid hitting them.

"Track two, DMX, Move!" Meia said, as the song changed, and just as if she was going with the song, she drove even worse than before. Heading straight on, causing numerous cars to move out of the way of the maniac that drove the car.
"Meia," Anzu said, watching as the cars in the front switched lanes, some flicking them off, which only caused her to swerve and nearly hit them. "I think you should slow down."
"Why?" Meia said, singing with the song. "Come on Anzu, let me relax. Besides, do you not like this song as well? Move, get out the way, get out the way get out the way! Move!"
"Whatever happened to the distinguished lawyer that left the house today!" Anzu yelled, as her friend went with the song. Just then, Meia made a sharp turn towards their usual café and there were two men who were walking there. Luckily, they saw the car and immediately jumped out the way. Seeing this, Anzu immediately closed her eyes, bracing herself, while Meia swerved the car, and stepping on the brakes, causing the car to spin, yet, miraculously not hit anything. Opening her eyes, Anzu jumped out of the car only to see that they were on the opposite lane of the street that they were turning to, yet the car was scratch less and was facing the right way on the street. She turned over to see whether anybody was hurt, and saw that the two men who jumped out of the way was on the floor. One of the men saw Meia as the driver and was getting up to her, while another was slightly struggling to get up, but manage. She immediately went over there to avoid any transgressions.
"Sorry about that Anzu," Meia said, stepping out of the car, opening the front as smoke came out of it, and checking to see if anything's out of place.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey!" Kaiba yelled, walking over to Meia, who was still looking at the car's condition. "I demand that you have your license revoked for poor judgment in driving."
"And who are you to say that I deserve to have my license revoked?" Meia asked back, clearly not fazed by the fact that he was a whole head and a half taller than her. "When I turn, I distinctly remember that the light was red and blinking. You and your friend just took your chance and walked. Therefore it is not my fault, but yours!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Dammit," Atemu growled, getting up. Apparently, when he jumped out of the way, he scratched his leg and elbow and now they were bleeding.
"I'm sorry," a blue eyed beauty said, appearing before him. "My friend is the driver over there," she said, pointing her head over towards a purple haired girl and Kaiba arguing. "But I'm a doctor, and if you don't mind coming over towards the car, I'll help you with that."
"Thank you," Atemu said, as she grabbed his uninjured arm to help him over towards the car. Yeah, it hurt, but Atemu was slightly taking advantage of her as he leaned on her more, slightly dragging his leg more than needed. "But may I know your name?" he said, suavely, trying to get to know a girl for once.
"Anzu," she replied, slightly blushing at his closeness. Anzu may have came over based on doctorly intentions, but she didn't fail to notice other than the fact of his tri-colored hair, he was really handsome, with his well-toned body, the mysterious air about him, and his deep crimson eyes. "May I ask yours?"
"Atemu," he replied looking over to her to see whether she recognize the name, but when he looked over to her, he saw that all the sapphire eyes is mainly concerned with helping him over to the car. But suddenly, she stopped, looking concerned over something else. He turned, only to see Kaiba towering over a purple haired girl. Not only that, Kaiba lost his posture and was arguing back with the girl.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"It is not my fault!" Kaiba yelled back at the girl. "I had the righter way."
"Righter way or not, when I turned, the sign clearly was red," Meia yelled back, although still not as loud as a brawl on a street would usually be. "That is unless you are color blind."
"I am not color blind. And I will sue you for causing us injury."
"Injury? I am sorry, but you are clearly standing fine, with plenty of energy to argue with me for last, ten minutes."
"Fine him injury! And I will sue."
"His injuries were not caused by me. He jumped out of the way on his own accord, and unless I hit him it is not my responsibility. Furthermore, if you wish to sue, I can introduce you to the top firm in Domino, after all, I work there." Meia said firmly, her face void of any emotion, as is Kaiba.
"Meia," Anzu said, coming over slowly with the limping Atemu. "It was partially our fault, so we apologize and will be paying all medical fees."
"No," Atemu said. "There's no need for that. As you said, it is partially your fault, but also ours. We won't take this to court, and I only have a couple of scratches."
"Why not be more like your friend here," Meia talked back to Kaiba, not looking at Anzu or Atemu. "He was gracious enough to admit his fault."
"And why can't you admit yours," Kaiba talked back.
"How about we both apologize," Anzu said, trying to make things better.
"Yeah, and we can treat you two ladies to lunch," Atemu added, grinning at Anzu. "My treat."
"What!" Meia and Kaiba yelled.
"We accept," Anzu said, smiling. "But we have to fix your elbow and leg first."
"All right, what do you two say, lunch?" Atemu said, turning to the other two, who were giving him death glares. "Come on Kaiba." He smirked.
"Fine, as long as she doesn't offend me." Kaiba said, coldly, turning away with his cloak swaying behind him.
"I'll go," Meia said brightly. "As long as skyscraper over there keeps his mouth shut." She said, causing Anzu to giggle, and Atemu to chuckle.
"At least I'm not some immature girl who yells at everything said and can't talk politely." Kaiba answered without turning around.
"Come on you two," Anzu said, "Can you um. . ."
"Kaiba."
"Can you please get him to the car, I have an emergency kit there." Anzu said, handing Atemu over to him, and without a word, Kaiba took Atemu to the car.
"Meia," Anzu said, getting the girl's attention. "Come on."
"Fine," she said, "But I will drive, and I am only doing this for you and porcupine head over there."
"His name's Atemu."
"Yes, but he is now labeled as porcupine head." She answered, receiving only a sigh from Anzu.
"You trying to pull something?" Kaiba said, helping Atemu over to the car.
"No," Atemu said, innocently. "Why'd you think that?" he said, causing Kaiba to raise his eyebrow. "Let's just say, that I like Anzu for now. Why?"
"The doctor?"
"Yes, not your girl."
"She is not my girl."
"We'll see," Atemu said, smirking.
"Aren't you forgetting about the reply?"
"Well, we are suppose to just hang around here and wait till the man thinks that we are alone. Why not treat two ladies to lunch while we're at it."
"Do what you will, but we better get a reply." Kaiba said.

'What are those two doing here?' a man thought, as his cloak hid him from the eyes of others. 'Especially with those two?' he thought, as he watch Sapphire aid Atemu, and Opal arguing with Kaiba. 'Do they know?'
"I know what you're thinking," another person said, coming out from the shadows, a cloak also behind them. "Either way, we have to tell them. If we don't we won't get the Key. I don't understand why you don't just tell them."
"I already know that," the man replied. "But, those two must be here alone, if another soul knows who the Gem Assassination are, they could be in more danger than they are now."
"How do you know whether they won't be in danger now?"
"Being who they are, they will always be in danger, but those two promise me that no harm will come to them."
"Why do you care so much about them?"
"Because…. "
"I will never understand you."
"It doesn't matter now, but we can't let the guardians know about this, otherwise, all will be for nothing." He said, as he continued to watch the four below, as the other man left once more.
