Dreams of Innocence
Chapter XXII: Today is Just Not A Good Day
Anzu!
Anzu, wakie!
You gotta wake up Anzu!
"Ugh...wha?" Blinking awake, Anzu stared stupidly at her ceiling. Her sight was blurred and fuzzy. She suddenly felt something tug on her hair.
You're going to be late Anzu! Wake up!
Rubbing her eyes, Anzu tried to clear up her vision. Carefully, she sat up and looked around. The voices had vanished and the tugging of her hair had stopped. "What the heck...?" muttered Anzu as stretched her arms over her head.
Pulling back the covers, she stumbled out of bed and over to her closet. From there, she opened the door and pulled out ehr uniform. As she dressed in it, her eyes darted around the room, looking for any clues to what ahd just happened.
"That's the...third, fourth time I've heard voices?" she said aloud, shaking her head. "I must be loosing it. No more pocky before bed for me."
At that precise moment, as she was pulling on her skirt, her door burst open and two seven eyar old boys came running into the room.
"AKI! RAN! GET OUTTA MY ROOM!" shouted Anzu, frustrated, dodging behind the now flung open door.
The two boys laughed but quickly dodged under her bed, which brought an annoyed groan from the teenage girl. "AUNT MAYA! THE TWINS ARE IN MY ROOM!"
"THERE YOU TWO ARE!" came a sudden, frustrated voice of her aunt. A blunette stuck her head into the room, eyes fierce. "You two! Come out fo Anzu's room!"
"They're under the bed," added Anzu, pointing to it, from her hiding place. Maya glanced at Anzu, chuckling.
"Sorry sweetie, these two are just excited about their field trip today."
"Remind me to ask Uncle Nibori to put a lock on my door," replied Anzu, her eyes half-closed and looking rather annoyed.
Maya chuckled and nodded. "I'lla sk him. But first, to get the Fearsome Duo out from under your bed."
"There's a box of pocky on my desk!"
"Pocky?" came the sudden unison of two male voices.
Maya and Anzu sweatdropped as in the blink of an eye, the two twins dashed out from udner the bed and to her desk.
"Gotcha!" exclaimed Maya in laughter as she dashed after the two, just as fast, and gathered them in her arms. For one minute there was laughter and protest, the two boys desperately trying to escape their mother's grip. But Maya carried the two boys out and Anzu pretty much slammed the door shut behind them.
For a moment, Anzu left ehr hand pressed up against the door, lost in thought. A smile crossed her face.
{To think, three days ago, I was living with my father...and his crap...}
Suddenly, Malik's sleeping face flashed in her mind and her heartbeat quickened. Blushing, she shook her head furiously.
"What am I thinking?" she mumbled, snatching her blouse from the bed and slipping it on over her bra. "The guy's a psyco!"
As she continued to argue with ehrself, Anzu was unaware of three pairs of eyes watching her from behind the stereo. Hidden there were what appeared to be three tiny fairies. Their itty-bitty wings weren't attached to their bodies, but it was shown that they could still fly. They giggled to one another.
::Anzu's having trouble again!:: spoke the one with brown hair and matching eyes.
::Mysty will be furious if she finds out we're here!:: protested the pink haired one, looking worried.
::We need to help our mistress!:: argued the third, a red, pigtailed one. ::She needs our protection every waking moment!::
::I hope your right:: replied the second one, sighing.
::She's leaving!:: exlcaimed the first, pointing to Anzu as she quietly left her bedroom, satchel in hand. The three fairies squeaked in alarm and dashed after her.
"Gr...I am going to kill Isis for this," grumbled Malik as he made a turn on his motorcycle into the school parking lot. His light-blonde hair stopped fluttering in the wind as he slowed to a stop.
Ignoring the students who were pointing to him and his cycle, he climbed off and pulled off his helmet. Running his hand quickly trhough his hair, he continued to grumble to himself, fidgeting a bit in his uniform. "Why the hell do I have to this?" he demanded furiously, grabbing his bag and slinging it over his back while pocketing his keys.
~Isis,
I am entrusting Hathor to you, I trust that you will put her in good hands. Kaiba and myself have been planning Golden Isle Tournament, which will be occuring at the end of this week. I want to request that you come to the tournament, for I need to speak to you in private about something. And if you have any way of contacting Shadi, please have him come as well.
Pegasus J. Crawford~
"Another tournament?" spoke Isis aloud, chuckling. The young woman was walking around in the kitchen, her hair damp from the shower she had just taken. An outfit of khaki pants and blue ladies' t-shirt, along with the Millennium Tauk brought out her simple beauty. In her left hand was a cup of coffee while in the other was the letter from Crawford.
Sipping her drink, she re-read the letter once again. Casually, she left the kitchen and out the back door, to the outside. Standing there, she folded the letter and simply stared up at the morning.
As she stood there, soft footsteps were heard, coming from the left. Looking over, Isis smiled kindly. Shadi came over to her, seeming puzzled.
"You wanted to speak to me?"
"Yes," answered Isis, though turning back to the sky. "I've had an intertesting vision."
"About the future?"
Isis shook her head. "No, not the future. It was a dream, a very strange dream." Glancing at him, she conitnued, "And in my dream, I dreamt of 'The Forbidden Seven'."
Silence.
"What... did you say?" whispered Shadi very softly and slowly.
"The Forbidden Seven," Isis repeated.
All of sudden, she felt her body be whirled about. Shadi was griping her arms fiercely, his eyes wide in horror. His face was just inches from her own. "What did you see?" he demanded, shaking her slightly. "What did you see your dream?"
Isis, shaken by his behaviour, tried to answer. "I-I saw a g-girl and...eyes. And symbols. And..." She faltered, unsure.
"Did you see anything more?" urged Shadi, his body trembling.
"I-I..."
"Isis, you must tell me everything you know!"
"W-what does it mean? The Forbidden Seven?" begged Isis, trying to pull away. His reaction to the matter had startled her.
"This is not good," mumbled Shadi suddenly, letting her go. "This is not good."
"The text told me nothing Shadi," spoke Isis, sounding distressed. "Nothing except that the poem in my dream."
"What poem?" Shadi turned his stare back to her, wide with alarm.
Yawning, Anzu slumped down at her desk, dropping her satchel next to her chair. Letting her forehead lean against her arms that were corssed on the desk, she let the sound of the other students entering the room fill her mind.
{It's too early} she thought, hating the fact she had Mythology first thing that day. For a few moments, her mind was silent, letting herself slowly drift off to sleep.
"Good morning class!"
Lifting her head up with a silent groan, Anzu watched as her teacher entered the room. "Good morning Mr. Koyama," she spoke dully along with the rest of the class. There was the sound of chairs scrapping against the floor as everyone hurried to their seats.
Mr. Koyama looked around the room, a tired smile on his face. "All right now: it's seventy-thiry in the morning. For my original plan, I was going to let you all sleep this period, but the principal wants you people to learn. Yes Mr. Mitsui?"
"Why did they take naptime away after kindergarden?" the teenage, violet hair boy asked, wearing a serious face though his eyes glittered with amusement.
Mr. Koyama chuckled and shrugged. "I have no idea Mr. Mitsui, but ti is a pity." Then, turning to the papers before him, he added, "Today I will be assigning you all partners for a project due in two weeks." Picking up a paper, he began to read off the names. "Mr. Mitsui, you'll be partnered up with Miss Kojima!"
As he read off the list, Anzu listened carefully for her name. Secodns past as he quickly made to the bottom fo the list.
"And finally, Miss Mazaki, you'll be working with-"
However, he was interrupted by the classroom door sliding open. Everyone turned to their attention to the newcomer.
Anzu thought she was going to have a heart attack.
{MALIK!?} she screamed in her mind, eyes wide.
Mr. Koyama looked at Malik, smiling. "Ah! Mr. Ishtar, I was wondering when you would be getting here! Welcome to Ancient Mythology, my name is Mr. Koyama."
Malik looked at him, apparently unimpressed. His violet eyes flickered around room, landing quickly on Anzu. His eyes widened to match ehr own, dumbstruck. {Oh Ra...you have to be kidding me...}
Mr. Koyama blinked, staring back and forth between Anzu and Malik. "Hm...I see that you two seem to know each other," he stated calmly. "And that's excellent, since I assigned you both as each other's partners."
Both Anzu and Malik stared at him.
{Please oh please oh please let him be joking!} begged Anzu in her mind.
{I am NOT having a good morning!} thought Malik, stupidfied by this statement.
"And I do believe that there is an empty seat right next to Miss Mazaki," added Mr. Koyama with a grin, indicating the chair.
{Oh no, he isn't joking!}
{Why me?}
Every single student watched as Malik walked over ot his next, while Mr. Koyama didn't notice the dark look he had shot him. When he had sat down, he glanced briefly at Anzu. She was looking at him but quickly turned away.
{I hate my life.}
{I hate my life.}

::evil cackle:: I'm so evil...anyway, lemme just explain something. Thsoe little fairies in the beginning, they're actually a Monster card called 'Dancing fairy', which I happen to own.
::looks at her deck:: Food for thought: Rememebr how I said Anzu's new deck is modeled after my own? Well...her deck is gonna have to change, cause I've changed mine soooo many tiems over the past months...I seriously don't think Anzu could have Toon World and any toons in her deck...and I've taken out my 3 Blue Eyes White dragons...This sucks...now I actually have to get creative and create a deck! I'm already using too many brain cells just trying to keep the plot together in my head! And there's the fact I use my brain for school too...Hm...
