ChAPTER 5 THE MONEY SHE NEEDS
"Come on, Yugi! Give it a try!" The blonde boy shoved his short friend onto the DDR platform.
"But Joey…" Yugi whined. "You know that I got two left feet." He turned around and saw Anzu inspecting them.
"Oh, Miss!" he called out to her. "Are you waiting?"
She seized this opportunity to give him her best closed-mouth smile and nodded. Yugi turned a pale pink and quickly gave up his spot to Anzu.
"What's wrong?" she asked in that honey voice of hers as she walked up the platform. "Why didn't you take a turn?"
Yugi still had that pink tint as Anzu looked him in the eye. She took his change to examine the gold object hanging from the boy's neck. It was an upside down pyramid.
Kids these days got the weirdest tastes in jewelry. I wonder where he keeps the M. Puzzle if he has it…
"Well, I wouldn't want to keep you waiting, Miss," Yugi blurted out nervously. "Besides, I've never played it before…"
"Never before?" Anzu asked innocently, making sure that all her charms were turned on. "Then maybe I should give you a demonstration, eh?"
"Oh, y-you don't have to-" Yugi was stopped by Joey covering his mouth.
"Chill, Yuge… You wanna see her dance or what?" Joey whispered.
Ansu picked her favorite song, Butterfly, and waited for the game to begin. She had played this song hundreds of times and each beat was already carved into her heart. She hit each beat almost perfectly and missed only a few.
She could feel the eyes staring at her back and welcomed the attention. The song eventually ended and the adrenaline in her veils slowed down. She turned around to see the boys in pure amazement. Yugi started to open his mouth, but Joey beat him to it.
"Wow! You're great!" he exclaimed. "What's your name by the way..?"
Bakura nudged Joey in the ribs and gave him the Don't-Be-So-Rude face.
"It's Anzu, Anzu Mazaki," she beamed while offering her hand to Joey, which he took.
"Well, Miss Anzu, are you new here?" Yugi finally spoke up, "because I've never seen you around town."
"Yup, just got here today actually. I'll be starting senior year down at the high school soon," she said while running her fingers through her short chocolate hair.
"Really!" Yugi said sounding excited. "Us too!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Joey began. "So you are saying that you've never had a Domino burger or Domino chili fries or have even seen one of Domino's game shops!"
Anzu shook her head innocently. Joey on the other hand seemed excited.
"Well, Yugi, Bakura. I think Anzu here needs a Joey-fied full tour." He said in that mischievous voice of his.
"And what exactly," Bakura spoke up in an amused tone, "is a Joey-fied tour?"
"Why Bakura!" Joey faked surprise, "It's only the best and coolest tour available to new Domino residents. And I think we have just enough time here to give Anzu the genuine tour. Don't you agree, Yuge?"
Yugi smiled and nodded, hoping that Anzu would accept. Anzu on the other hand was pleased with her great start. A little more of them charm and she would have the item in no time. She accepted the offer and she, Bakura, Joey, and Yugi walked out to the streets of Domino together. Anyone that they passed wouldn't believe that these four people had just met ten minutes ago.
"Cherry Ave…Cherry Ave," Shizuka whispered to herself as she walked around downtown. The only thing on the paper that Master had given her was:
Cadeline: 1395 Cherry Ave.
She knew that she could probably find the place quicker if she asked for help, but Shizuka was enjoying actually being out of the S.B. HQ. HQ was a comfortable home, but 10 years in the building almost drove her crazy.
Not aware of where she was walking, Shizuka caught sight of a huge shop. The beautifully decorated shop was actually a spa and style shop. Having never seen anything like it for all her life, Shizuka excitedly walked to the door. It was then that she caught sight of the address: 1395 Cherry Ave.
This spa is the place that I was suppose to go to? Why would anyone here own Master money?
Shizuka entered and was greeted by a woman at the desk.
"May I help you, Miss?" the woman asked.
"I'm here to see Miss Cadeline," Shizuka said, trying to sound business-like.
The woman slightly frowned and said, "The mistress of the spa house is on break right now. Do you have an appointment?"
"N-no," Shizuka said nervously but recovered her composure. "But this is urgent business."
The woman sighed and led her across the waiting room to the second floor and knocked on a door.
"Mistress," the woman called out. "Someone has urgent business with you."
A long minute passed before a feminine voice answered, "Send her in."
The worker opened the door and Shizuka stepped inside. She has expected to see an old woman as the mistress of this huge spa house, but the woman standing in the room was not old nor even close.
Instead Cadeline was a young woman in her mid-twenties. She had bright blonde hair that didn't touch her shoulders. Her bright blue eyes seemed hypnotic, sort of like Anzu's and Isis's, the eyes of a seductress. (AUTHORS NOTE: Cadeline in America is Katharine- who is the fiancée of Pandora/ Arkana)
"I'm sorry to interrupt you so suddenly, but I, Shizuka, came on behalf of Master in order to-" She stopped when she saw Cadeline approach her.
The woman's eyes pierced into Shizuka as if she was reading her. She only stopped when she was no more than a foot away and Shizuka felt slight uncomfortable with the closeness.
Cadeline brought a shiny piece of plastic to Shizuka's face. Shizuka took it and saw that it was just a normal bank card.
I bet there's probably thousands of dollars in here… Her hand trembled at the idea.
"Master will find the million dollars in there" Cadeline said callously, as if it was like giving away a penny.
"A million!" Shizuka cried out.
"Yes…" Cadeline raised an elegant eyebrow in suspicion. "Did Master not request my annual payment?"
"H-he did…But I didn't think this much.." Shizuka said timidly, even though Cadeline gave her no reason to be scared. "May I ask why you owe Master so much money?"
Cadeline's eyes narrowed and turned cold. "I don't owe Master anything."
"Then why the million- What a minute!" Shizuka realized something. "you called him 'Master' "
"So?" Cadeline asked, not catching on.
"That means…you're an S.B." Shizuka whispered, unsure of herself.
Cadeline sighed sadly and took a seat. "No…I WAS an S.B. I'm free now."
"But Master won't let anyone go…" Shizuka said.
Cadeline had an expression on her face that looked like the cross of a smirk and a smile.
"He made an exception for me," she said proudly.
Cadeline could sense Shizuka's curiosity and kindly gestured her to sit down. She then began to tell her the story of her life…
"I grew up on the streets of Tokyo. When I was about you're age, during the decline of the S.B. , Master found me and offered luxury if I just swear eternal loyalty to him.
I obviously agreed and life became great for a couple of years. I was a top Type-Y agent. I was respected, and I had everything I could want. The only thing missing…was freedom.
A few years ago, I was sent to take out Pandora, the infamous magician who was worth billions. I had him hook, line, and sinker but by then…I was tired of this thieving life. In fact, I had been wanted to open a spa house for most of my life…
So I made a deal with Master. One million dollars per year till death for my freedom. Pandora was much a sucker that he was more than willing to pay for it…"
"But…does Pandora know that you were sent to take him out?" Shizuka interrupted.
"Yeah, isn't he stupid? That idiot was willing to trust me…this dirty, deceiving thief… He's too stupid for his own good…"
"So…he pays for your freedom and you treat him like this!" Shizuka said slightly angered.
Cadeline's eyes narrowed, "Hey! I married the idiot didn't I?" Her eyes then softed and she sighed, " Shizuka-san, take it from me. If you want to be free, all you need a love-sick billionaire. Domino has plenty of them, like Kaiba-san and Otogi-san. You don't even need to love him back, as long as he forks over a million per year, your life will be secured."
Shizuka couldn't help but nod. She knew it was a cruel plan for happiness, but it just sounded so appealing.
Kaiba-san…that's my target…could I actually pull it off? Should I?
Shizuka whispered, " I can't believe you don't love a man that loves you so much…"
Cadeline had another funny expression on her face. It looked like she was happy yet sad at the same time. "Shizuka-san, just because I think Pandora is the biggest idiot in the world, doesn't mean I don't love him."
Shizuka slightly blushed at her rude mistake while Cadeline just smiled.
Cadeline continued, looking astray, "It's just better to not love the guy..."
'Why, Miss Cadeline."
Cadeline turned to meet Shizuka's eyes. "In case he doesn't love you back, Miss Shizuka."
She lightened the tense mood with a smile. "But I can see by the ring of your finger that you're a great agent, Shizuka-san. I have told you all the things you need to be finally free."
Blushing even more, Shizuka said, "Your mistaken, Miss Cadeline. I'm just a humble S.B. doctor…I've never even been on a mission. This ring was just a gift from my friend, the real top agent. She also has one just like it that matches her pretty eyes."
Cadeline looked a little disappointed yet not shocked. "Don't be discouraged, Shizuka-san. I believe that you hold great potential."
Shizuka nodded and walked out of the room.
Now where is that hairdresser's place... Isis thought as she scanned downtown Domino in a white sundress with a low back. She had been thinking about getting her hair re-done ever since that incident with Shizuka and the scissors. Where is that famous hair place anyway. It is suppose to be on this street...
"Oh here it is!" Isis cried out when she saw the Cherry Spa & Styles Shop. She walked in and was greeted by a woman at the desk. And yes it's the same one.
"May I help you, Miss?" she asked
"I want a hair trim and a shampoo." Isis has been here before.
"Only the spa is open today. Our main hair stylist is here but Miss Cadeline is busy right now. Do you have an appointment?"
Isis rolled her eyes. "No but..." Isis took out a $50 dollar bill from her purse. "I think she can make time for me."
The woman nodded, taking the hint, and led Isis to another room and sat her down on a hair cutters chair.
"Miss Cadeline will be here in a moment."
Isis took this time to scan the room. It was better than she had expected. Everything was neat and had an elegant atmosphere. There's a reason why Cherry Spa & Styles was famous in Domino.
"Can I help you, Miss?" asked a sweet voice from behind.
Isis turned to see a young woman a bit older than her. She looked similar to Anzu, except with bright blonde hair.
"So a trim and a shampoo?" Cadeline asked. "My, my. What happened to the ends?"
Isis chuckled, "A friends wanted to have a little practice for her hair stylist career."
"Well, tell her that she's got a while to go," Cadeline joked around before she put wrapped a cloth around Isis's shoulders and began to cut.
Isis was sitting there while Cadeline was professionally snipping away the stray ends Shizuka had cut. Half an hour later, Isis had a few front bangs, hair down to her shoulders, and a jasmine scent. Cadeline then led her to the pay counter.
"That's $75."
Isis took out her credit card and handed it too Cadeline. It's not important to know how much money was in the account because it is probably more than Shizuka can imagine. After all, Otogi had paid Isis well. What was weird was that Cadeline wasn't taking the card...Instead, she was looking at the ring of Isis's finger.
"You're an S.B..." Cadeline concluded.
How does she know! Isis slightly panicked but didn't show it. She swiftly pulled out dagger she had hidden under her dress and placed it at Cadeline's neck.
"Password," Isis said coldly.
Cadeline on the other hand looked almost amused.
"Seek, Seduce, Steal," she stated while looking Isis straight in the eye.
Satisfied, Isis pulled the dagger away from her neck and put it away.
Cadeline smirked. "Reaction time: One point three seconds. Threat of choice: Assassin's dagger. Rate of fear inducement: B+" Cadeline stated like a computer, knowing that she was pissing Isis off.
"How did you know….?" Isis asked while narrowing her eyes at the woman that dared to provoke her.
"You're Miss Shizuka's friend," Cadeline said calmly. As she took the credit card, Cadeline said in an awfully innocent voice, "I'm Cadeline. You might know me as 'The Magician of Deception' "
"The Magician of Deception? I've heard of you…they said you died on a mission." Isis said while hiding her curiosity.
"And you can tell that I'm perfectly alive. I talked with Miss Shizuka just a while ago. So you two are on a mission in Domino?"
"Yes," Isis stated. "The M. Rod and M. Necklace. Know anything about them?"
Cadeline smirked, "Most people wouldn't know about those items, but Pandora has told me rumors about them. Apparently, Kaiba-san, owner of Kaiba Corp, holds an artifact that gives him clairvoyant abilities. That's why his stock and company is such a success. The M. Rod, I heard, is held by Kaiba's personal assassin. Whitish blonde hair with purple eyes. I saw him once when Pandora took me to a dinner party with Kaiba-san. His name is Malik and he carries the artifact with him 24/7. You can't miss it."
Isis nodded and turned to leave, but Cadeline's voice stopped her.
"Take these!" she said.
Isis turned around just in time to catch some keys on a key chain.
"950 Meadow Dr. My old house. Close to the high school. You and Shizuka can use it," Cadeline beamed a charming smile that assured Isis that she hadn't lost her touch as a seductress. After thanking her, Isis turned back around and walked away.
"Where is that girl!" Isis asked Shizuka angrily. The sun had set and they had been waiting for Anzu for over an hour in her car.
They then heard a few voices behind them and turned to see where it came from.
"Wow it's getting dark!" a blonde boy said.
"I'm sure Anzu needs to be going soon," a white-haired boy with an adorable smile said.
"Yeah, we should be going home, Miss Anzu." a shorter boy followed.
"Anzu!" Isis yelled. She wasn't exactly pleased with having to wait so long.
"Isis? Shizuka? What are you guys doing here...oh wait! I was supposed to return at sunset wasn't I?" Anzu remember innocently.
The two girls both glared at Anzu angrily with the Get-Inside-Now-And-Then-We-Will-Kill-You face.
"Fine...I'm coming..." Anzu gave in as she stepped into Isis's convertible. "Bye, boys!"
Isis drove away as Anzu waves goodbye to the three boys. Yugi and Bakura also waved back, but Joey was too busy taking last glimpses of Anzu's friends.
Shizuka and Isis on the other hand were too hungry from waiting for Anzu that they forgot about yelling at Anzu, only for a while though. There was time to get mad at her after some dinner.
