Chapter Twelve: Happenings at Shizuka's House
Reaching the Jounouchi residence, Anzu pointed out Shizuka's room. Bakura and Marik dumped Yami's unconscious body on the lawn.
And Bakura knocked on the windowpane.
Shizuka Jounouchi was asleep. Around midnight, she awoke to the sound of a hard tap. It came from her window.
Raprap, again.
She pushed up the window and looked outside. Outside, into the face of a white-haired boy. "Bakura!" she stared. "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"Shhhh!!" He shushed her.
"What's going on?" Shizuka whispered.
"Anzu," was the reply. "She needs a place to stay tonight."
"Umm..." she hesitated. What happened to Anzu? "Meet me at the back door."
Shizuka slipped out of her room, a jacket over her pajamas, and went down the hall, towards the back of the house. It was a good thing that her parents were out on a trip. Anzu, Bakura, Malik, and Marik were waiting. She quietly opened the screen door. "Go ahead. Try not to wake Katsuya."
Anzu went inside, followed by Malik and Marik. Shizuka raised a questioning eyebrow. This Bakura saw.
"It's okay." He said. "They aren't going to steal anything."
Bakura closed the door, both of them standing outside now. Silence between them. Shizuka looked at him.
Then he closed the gap between them, holding her close. She sighed, and leaned her head against his chest. Bakura played absently with the ends of her hair.
"Look at me, Shizuka."
She did so. Bakura kissed her full on the lips. Sweet.
"Hey, Shizura," The door opened and closed. Bakura and Shizuka pulled apart, embarrassed. "Anzu's up in your room."
"We'll be leaving now." Marik added.
Bakura handed Shizuka a slip of paper as he turned and left.
Marik bent down in the grass, and picked up something that resembled a dead body. He heaved it over his shoulder with a grunt and walked off. Malik and Bakura weren't too far behind.
"You're absolutely tactless, you idiot," Bakura was saying. He whacked Malik upside the head. "And it's Shizuka, not Shizura."
She smiled, put the paper in her pocket, and went inside.
Anzu lay inside a sleeping bag that Shizuka had dug out of the closet. She'd just finished explaining why they'd come knocking in the dead of night.
"Oh, Anzu..." Shizuka breathed. "How terrible... and all in one night..."
She bit her lip. "Truth is, I'm starting to feel guilty about what I said to my father. Maybe what I said was too cruel... Do you think so?"
"Yeah, maybe... but he was just trying to make sure you weren't hurt or anything. Like... what happened after."
"Hmmmm. Guess my temper went too far..."
"Anzu, you're going to have to apologize sometime."
She was quiet. Shizuka continued. "Whenever you've truly calmed down, when you're able to see both sides, go back and talk to him."
"I'll think on that."
"I'm going to sleep. 'Night Anzu."
"Goodnight." Shizuka smiled.
Shizuka and Anzu were in the kitchen when Katsuya Jounouchi stumbled in half-asleep, and in his shorts. He made it to the refrigerator and back before "Sis, what's Anzu doing here?"
Shizuka gave some kind of alibi. Her brother believed it. "Go put a shirt on, Katsuya."
Jounouchi complied, and went back upstairs, turning on the TV as he went.
The channel was set to a local news station.
"—happenings," the anchorwoman was saying. "This morning, the unconscious body of a man was found lying in the middle of a street."
Anzu half listened as she sat down with a box of cereal.
"He was most likely to have been hit by a hit-and-run driver..."
Shizuka opened some cupboards, looking for something.
"The man has been identified as Seto Kaiba, the—"
Bang. The cupboard slammed shut. Both girls raced into the next room.
"—resident billionaire of Domino City. He is currently being held in Domino Hospital—"
"Oh my—"
O.o
Eeek.........Seto fans don't kill me!!! >
Somebody cries and somebody dies.
:D
Well.........this may be the wrong time to ask, with Seto's dea—I mean ACCIDENT.....but does anyone want a theme song to this story? Hehehehehe.....I made it during chapter five and it sounds like a certain Britney song (X.X) but yeah........ :P
