Chapter 2: Shiai to Hitei
Anzu found it hysterical how she would toy with Kaiba and he would not say a word. Maybe he liked playing along with her sick games. Maybe he had his own little game. He would never try to bribe or at least mentioned anything about bribing her. They both just went along with whatever it was they were doing. Did he have a motive for going along with her? Maybe he was just waiting for the perfect time to expose her to her friends. The only people she really cared about already knew save for Yugi.
Two days after their incident in the hallway she found herself alone with Kaiba in a classroom. Everyone went off to lunch and Anzu was packing up her things. Jounouchi, Yuugi and Honda went off for lunch and she told them she would meet up with them.
"Be careful with Kaiba. Okay? Just don't listen to him." Surprisingly Jounouchi whispered in Anzu's ear. Up to that point she didn't realize she would be alone with Kaiba. He was sitting in the back of the classroom reading his book like he did everyday during lunch. What he always read, she didn't know. Probably some book on stocks or something. After Jounouchi warned her and left she left her things on top of her desk and walked casually towards Kaiba. Because of her shoes she made no noise. Her shoes were like ballerina shoes, black with straps on the front of the shoe that tied up on the ankle.
Feeling a presence in front of him, Kaiba lazily looked up. It was Anzu with her hands on her hips staring at him with her head cocked to the side. Something about the way he was staring back at her made her feel like she was drowning in his eyes. Something made her stomach flip. Remembering their kiss two days ago and smirked. Kaiba could see the look of mischief in her eyes. The same look she gave him two days ago.
"How long are you going to be staring at me like that?" He asked coldly. What was she waiting for? Shrugging slowly, she lazily took the book out of his hands. Kaiba actually let her take the book. He was curious at what this usually angelic girl was going to do now. His lips still burned from the kiss two days ago.
"Always reading." She looked at the cover. "Economy? I'm not surprised." There was a fat balding man holding up a stack of hundred dollar bills. An American book. The author was James Hillard. What a waste of good paper. Tsking she placed the book on desk behind her. Kaiba quirked up an eyebrow watching as she sat on his desk. She looked at her finger nails for a little bit boring Kaiba. Was she playing with him? Having enough of her stupid games he moved to stand up but her legs swung around to trap him. Her legs were on either sides of him. Moving back down onto the seat he tried to look pissed off. In reality he was intrigued. "Stay a while." She whispered as she leaned down and ran both her hands through his soft chocolate brown hair. Pulling him towards her she felt his hands go up to her own hair and pull her towards him.
"If you think this is effecting me in anyway, you are wrong." Always taking the initiative, Anzu pressed her lips against his smirking.
"Am I?" She mumbled before fully kissing Kaiba. Prepared for her ruthless kiss he pushed her back. Since there was nothing but air behind her, she fell back against the desk, laying on it as Kaiba stood up, not once breaking their kiss. Now that he was practically on top of her he made sure that he controlled what was happening. Anzu had no say in the matter, she was trapped underneath him. When her legs wrapped around him making her skirt rise up to barely cover her anymore, she didn't seem to mind that Kaiba was now in control of the situation. However when her exposed thigh caught his eye, all that control seemed to slip away from his fingers.
When Kaiba's hands left her hair and went to her thigh to feel her soft skin, the desk moved making Anzu squeal. Kaiba raised up off of Anzu a little to make sure the desk was no longer moving. Kaiba's concerned look on his face made Anzu giggle. Now she was laughing loudly . The whole situation was just funny to her. Here she was on the desk with her skirt barely covering her upper thighs and Kaiba on top of her flushed and with lustful eyes. She liked this. It was a fun game.
"What's so funny?" He asked while casually kissing her neck slowly. His hands went back to where they wanted to go in the first place, her thighs. One of her hands touch the back of his head, fingering his hair. She would be the only person who had the privilege to do this. Kaiba might have not noticed this, but she did. Another smirk came across her face.
"Nothing. Lunch is almost over." Kaiba moved his head so that he could see the clock. So lunch was almost over. Too bad for him. After shrugging like he didn't care, he stood up straight and realized her legs were still wrapped around his waist. "I'm not done with you yet." Anzu said as she sat up , her legs dropping down from his waist. Fisting his collar in her hands she pulled him back for one last kiss. A few of the kids voices made her stop abruptly and got off of his desk and walked back to her own desk. Smoothing out her skirt, she turned her head to the side. "You didn't eat."
"Neither did you." Kaiba was sitting down with his book back in his hands.
"No, I didn't. But I did have dessert." That mischievous look in her eyes was back. Before he could retort a couple of kids came in through the doors continuing their conversations from lunch.
School went like smoothly. There was no one to tutor today so she went to work. She didn't see Kaiba the rest of the day. He seemed to disappear within the crowded school hall full of students ready to go home. With the school's permission, she was allowed to work at a doctors office as a receptionist. It was a long and boring job but the pay was great. She needed it.
"Moshi-moshi? (1)Konnichi wa Higen-san. Genki desu ka?(2)" Mrs. Higen always called for something. She always thought she had something wrong with her. This time it was a stomach ache. "Dono gurai?(3) Ahh.. Hai. Come around noon tomorrow. The doctor will see you then. Oyasuminasai.(4)" It was getting late. She had to come home now and do her homework then get dressed to go out tonight. Jounouchi called her during work around seven and told her he had a surprise for her. She liked surprises. It was now nine at night. The doctor she worked for was a kind old man who worked all night and day. She left the man a note saying goodnight and that she will see him tomorrow.
"Konnichi wa oka-san." Her mother was always up. Her father on the other hand worked for Kaiba's corporation and thus was passed out in her parents bedroom from a long day.
"Anzu did you eat?"
"Hai." Oyasuminasai." She ran upstairs to her bedroom and did her homework in half an hour leaving her about ten minutes to get ready. By then her mother was already asleep. Having her parent's bedroom downstairs did have their quirks.
"Nanto kuwaii!(5)" Mai had on a pink sparkly top that hung low showing a great amount of cleavage and stomach.
"Arigatou! I thought you would like it. Jounouchi bought you one too in blue." Tonight Mai picked her up. Mai always had loads of money and was no longer driving her beloved motorcycle. Tonight she had her Lexus.
"Was that his surprise?"
"Yes. We were shopping together this evening and he saw this top that screamed you and so he bought it for you. I think he might like you." Anzu held back a scream.
"Are you kidding me? He's madly in love with you! He just knows me really well and knows that if I saw it in the mall I would pout and bitch about how I work long hours and none of it goes towards fun things like clothes or shoes." It was true. The times Jounouchi and her would go to the mall together she would just pout and look at the expensive clothing she would never be able to buy.
Jounouchi was waiting in front of a gas station. Before Mai picked up Anzu Jounouchi told her to meet up at a gas station outside of Tokyo. It was a quaint little gas station, no one knew them around these parts. Anzu got out of the car and snuck up behind Jounouchi. He was waiting in front of his car, sitting on the hood.
"Boo!" She screamed. Jounouchi screamed as well and almost fell off of the car.
"Don't do that!" For God sakes Anzu what are you trying to do to me!" He stood in front of her with wide eyes and holding onto his chest.
"Serves you right!" Mai shouted from the drivers side.
"Shut up, Mai! I didn't deserve nothing."
"That's for damn sure."
"ahh! You get what I mean." Anzu loved hearing them bicker. They looked like an old couple.
"Where are we going tonight?" Anzu asked as she leaned against his car. Mai was too busy putting on lipstick and making sure her makeup was fine.
"Well I thought we'd go to this bar called 'Desire'. All kinds of music plays there. From Dir En Grey to Miyavi and even Ayumi Hamasaki." Jounouchi poked Anzu's bare side. All she wore for a top was a tight black shirt that reached just below her breasts with separate sleeves that reached just above her elbow. For bottoms she wore tight ripped jeans with a thick black belt and black boots. "There's stripping poles." Anzu pushed him in mock offense.
"Why would I want to know that?" She asked innocently.
"Because we all know how much you like swinging around those poles!" Mai yelled out making Jounouchi laugh.
"Fine, fine. You guys got me!" Anzu raised her arms up in a mock surrender." Let's go." Tonight Mai would be the designated driver. Tomorrow she would have to wake up around eight in the morning to go to an audition. Mai liked to model and had the body for it. All she needed was an agent.
"Let's get some drinks first from this gas station. What's your poison for tonight?" Anzu smirked knowingly as they stepped into the gas station.
"What do you think?"
"Vodka it is." Anzu liked the harder drinks. No wimpy drinks for her.
As they paid for their drinks, Jounouchi put an arm around her shoulder.
"Did Mai tell you what I got for you?" He asked after bowing to the clerk.
"Yes. When can I get it?" She playfully asked. She sounded like a little girl who was waiting for her present after her father left for a trip.
"After the club." Anzu stomped her foot.
"Why not now?"
"Because Mai has her on now and I know if I give it to you now you'll want to wear it tonight. It'll look tacky if you both wear the same thing." Anzu pouted as she popped open her bottle.
"No I wouldn't."
"Yes, you would. Anyways I like what you're wearing tonight. It's perfect for where we're going." Jounouchi kissed her cheek and ran towards the car. "Shotgun!" Anzu stood still with her motuh open. He really was a child sometimes.
"Jerk!" She yelled out before she ran towards the car as well.
Without a problem they entered the club. It was an average sized club and it looked like some underground place. The red brick walls were covered with posters of various artists. They were all made to look old and torn giving the club an even more underground feel. The setting of this club was the best so far. All the other clubs looked like a rave with bright colors and neon lights. This one could almost pass for a coffee place where poets come and read their depressing poems.
Right when she got to the club she ran to the dance floor. The vodka was already fading in her blood and she was no longer tipsy. She liked dancing better when she had a little alcohol in her system but either way she was going to dance. Plenty of guys came and went and even bought her drinks when she took a break. None of the guys in this club caught her eye. They all just came up behind her and began to dance with her. Not that she minded. She actually like being the center of attention. The guys were practically fighting for her. Right now she was dancing alone not caring who was watching her as she threw her arms up carelessly. The song that was playing now was one of her favorites. Too bad there was no poles in this club.
Jounouchi came up behind her within an hour of their arrival. It was obvious that Jounouchi was mad at Mai yet again. From across the room she could see Mai being chummy with some other guy. The guy had the same exact hairstyle as Jounouchi, which was odd and rare. No one had Jounouchi's unruly hairstyle, when at least not the majority of people.
"I will never understand her." Jounouchi breathed into her ear. Anzu's arm went behind her to touch his cheek.
"Don't worry about it. Who will she be going home with tonight? You." She could feel Jounouchi smile behind her as he held her waist and began to dance along to the music.
"Yea. Until one day I'll just drop her for someone else." Anzu spun around and put her arms around his neck leaving no space between their bodies. Her lips touched his neck lightly. Jounouchi just held her tighter. Did the alcohol really leave her system or was she just getting used to the affects of the drink?
"Let's not hold our breaths." She teased. Jounouchi would never be the one to leave the relationship. If anyone was going to leave, all bets would be placed on Mai. She was more detached when it came to feelings. She could easily leave him. Couldn't she?
"Funny." He mumbled against the side of her head. "Really funny." Meanwhile Mai watched as Anzu and Jounouchi looked like two lustful teenagers grinding against each other on the dance floor. Anzu's smile never faded once throughout the night, neither did Jounouchi's.
Jounouchi and Mai were still mad at each other. It was now three in the morning and they just got inside the car. At this rate they would probably get home around four and then she and Jounouchi had to wake up to go to school at six. School was going to be hell for them both. Anzu wouldn't be surprised if he did not show up. But Anzu, she had to show up. She was the good student who had a perfect attendance. A perfect student. Today Advil would be her friend.
All three were obviously exhausted from the long night. Jounouchi sat in the back probably asleep while Anzu was leaning against the window starting to fall asleep. Mai clutched onto the wheel obviously thinking about Jounouchi.
"I don't understand why you are so mad at him. I tell you time and time again that I would rather have my parents find out about our clubbing then to even think about wanting to get with him." Anzu turned her head to look at Mai who looked like she wasn't interested in hearing her out. "We will never be together. The day that happens is the day hell freezes over." Still getting no reaction from Mai, she leaned her head against the window once again.
"I know. I'm just being stupid." Anzu didn't even bother to look at Mai. Mai was a proud person and for her to admit that was enough. She didn't need Anzu to look at her with pity or anything like that.
As they entered the highway a car a car caught Anzu's eye. Both cars stopped at a red light. The window went down to reveal no one other than Kaiba. Thankfully the windows in Mai's car was tinted so Kaiba would only be able to see Anzu's outline.
"Mai." Anzu whispered as if Kaiba bugged Mai's car. "Seto Kaiba is right next to us."
"What?" Mai screeched. Anzu was still a little drunk and she thought Anzu might have lost it now. Anzu was known for getting a little crazy when she had enough drinks in her system. "Where?"
"Right fucking next to us and shut up, he might hear you." The light was still red. Mai opened her car door and got out to get a better look. "damn it, Mai." Anzu bowed her head in embarrassment.
"Is that Seto Kaiba? Hey! You!" Mai was really embarrassing sometimes. Kaiba looked over at Mai like she was crazy.
"Are you drunk?" He asked casually. "If you are, you better let your friend sitting in the passenger side drive." Offended Mai stuck her middle finger out at him.
"No darling, I'm sober. She's the one who's drunk." Anzu resisted a giggle. Mai was really funny sometimes. Kaiba scoffed and drove off now that the light turned green. "What a jerk. I can't believe you have to go to school with him."
"Go to school with who?" Jounouchi woke up due to Mai's yells.
"No one, go back to sleep." Mai grimly responded. She was mad at him after all. Anzu laid her head against the window once more. She was getting really sleepy. Her body felt like it was burning because of all that dancing.
They stopped at the gas station where Jounouchi left his car. He was still asleep in the back meaning that he would not be able to drive tonight.
"Why don't you let him stay with you, Mai? You could just drop me off at home and let him sleep on your couch. We can't risk letting him drive off on his own so that he could fall asleep in the middle of the drive and get himself killed." Even though Anzu lost most of wholesomeness when she drank, she never did lose common sense.
"yea. Yea. I know." Twenty minutes later they got to the corner by her house. No one was up yet. That was a good sign.
"Tell Jounouchi that I want my present tonight. If not I'll never dance with him again." After kissing Mai's cheek she kissed Jounouchi's forehead. "Goodnight sleepy head." She mumbled.
When Anzu safely climbed up her tree which was right in front of her room and got in she saw Mai's car leave. It was yet another long night and another fun night. Now all she had to do was get rid of the cigarette and alcohol smell on her clothes from people smoking around her and when she spilled her own drink on her when she moved around the club.
I hope you guys are liking this story. I'm still a little blah about A life without you. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I assure you, it will be done by the end of this week. Just don't quote me on that.. Thank you guys for the reviews so far, they're great! The title for this chapter kind of goes for Joounouchi and Mai, and Kaiba and Anzu. I thought it was a nice title. I really hate titling chapters but feel the need to title them. It makes the chapter unique! Yea. Just mind me…
It' time to learn some Japanese! Title translation: games and denials
(1): Moshi-moshi means hello when you answer a telephone.
(2): How are you?
(3) How long?
(4) Goodnight.
(5) How cute!
(6) I know I didn't put a number after this but Dir En Grey is a Japanese visual kei band who I adore and always have their songs on repeat! It's a five guy band, Kyo, Toshiya,( I swear if you saw him you would think he was a real life anime bishonen!) Shinya, Die and Kaoru. Ah.. If only I could move to Japan so I could stalk them.. Umm.. Did I say that out loud.. Sorry..
Miyavi is this incredibly cute and even more incredibly talented man who knows a thing or two about guitars (to say the least) If any of you guys know what I'm talking about, well then, I don't look TOO crazy.. . I want to say that he mainly does rock songs. He used to be in a band called Due le Quartz. Awesome band, too bad they disbanded. Ayumi Hamasaki is a really famous Japanese singer who has vocal that no one could compete with. Now that's it for my Japanese music lesson. Don't worry, more will come.
