Love in the Shadows

An: Well I'm finally back, yep after almost a week of writers block not to mention general lazy-ness anyway on to the reviews.
Dojomistressamby-chan: You've noticed that to hua? Yeah shojo-ai/yuri is pretty rare in the yugioh universe, but this fic was just begging me to write it. and if you ask me, that trade was worth every penny, as long as you really didn't have a use for the redeyes.
West Star : flames yay! Anyway if you paid any attention to the summery you'd have known this was an Anzu/D.M.G paring, part of writing fanfiction is bending things to your will. Oh mabie I should also say that this paring is entirely possible, considering the monsters are all real within the bounds of the manga and show I mean, did you forget all about the shadow realm… hell Anubis in the move BECAME a real monster. And mabie you should try reading the entire fic? You just read the first chapter.
Oh did I mention flames will be used to fuel the fires for future chapters. Lol
; Anyway yeah I don't have a problem with flames, but have a valid reason for them… flaming for no real reason just makes you look stupid. Now on with the story
Ch.4 School and beginning summer
Anzu met Yugi and the others that morning at the Kame game shop, as they walked Yugi was the first to notice Anzu's overly happy mood, "So Anzu-chan, did you have a really good dream or something?" blushing as she remembered Mana she nodded, "You could say that." She said looking away quickly, Jonoichi laughed lightly, "What's a matter Anzu, gotta' boyfriend or somethin'?" Anzu almost facefaulted at the question, here she was with the people she called her friends and they didn't have a clue, the only one with even a hint of an idea was Yugi, but even he didn't know everything. Looking down at him Anzu smiled softly, "Hey Yugi, think we can talk after school?" Yugi nodded, "Yeah sure." He said, his finger's slightly rubbing over his puzzle.
Mana sighed, laying back into the soft sheets of Anzu's bed, she still found it hard to beleave she was actually here, in Anzu's world. As she relaxed her eyes began to scan the room, they fell on a small pink and blue book, with a little ribbon in between it's pages, as if marking a place, Mana remembered watching Anzu write things down in that little book. "I wonder if there's anything written about me in there." She asked herself aloud, starting to get up and check, she stopped, something felt wrong about doing that, so she decided she'd just ask Anzu about it when she got back. After being restless for another few minutes she decided to head down to the kitchen and find something to eat, floating down the stairs on her staff she came to a stop at the bottom next to the kitchen. Her eyes coming to a rest on a box of strawberry-chocolate Pocky. "Ohhhh Pocky!" seeing one of her favorite foods made her quite happy as she took the box and begun to nibble on it, floating to the front room to watch some TV. As she begun to flip through the channels she stopped on the news the anchor woman smiling brightly. "We're coming to you live from Domino High School today to attempt once again to get a press statement from the current King of Games Yugi Moto, who has declined giving a statement as of late, also we'll have Seto Kaiba's press release about his new Duel Disk system." Mana nibbled on the Pocky as she thought about this, "Wow, Dueling is everywhere." She watched as she saw Yugi, Anzu, Jonoichi, and Honda all walk into view, Yugi moved to hide behind Anzu as Jonoichi and Honda moved to protect him from duelists and the press, she watched Anzu move with Yugi away from the crowd and into the school.
Anzu sighed as she rested agenst the lockers, things had gotten pretty crazy after Yugi had won the Battle City Finals, Duelists' from all over the world now wanted a piece of Yugi. "Thanks again Anzu-chan." He said, Anzu looked down at Yugi, offering him a small smile. "No problem, now let's get to class." As they walked in, she noticed one main person missing. "Huh, wonder where Kaiba is." She said softly, not really asking anyone.
Mana brought another stick of pocky to her mouth, slowly nibbling on it as she watched Seto Kaiba on Tv. "The Duel Disk Version 2 will push the limits of holographic dueling technology, with holograms that can be interacted with and talked to, more so than the previous version." Mana began to think about Kaira, "Wonder how she's doing back home." She mumbled around her Pocky.
An. I'm ending here for now, you can consider this part one of two.
For those of you who don't know what pocky is, Pocky is a biscuit stick covered in chocolate, strawberry, or many other flavored dips, and is quite popular with the Japanese… and with me. hugs a box of pocky! ALL HAIL THE POCKY GOD! lol
