Author's Note: Oooh, Kaiba and Atsuko, never thought of that…well, anyway, later in the story, Kaiba will get paired with someone, though as of the moment I'm unsure of who it should be…I'll sort it out when I get to the part where Kaiba meets his daughter, which will probably be the next chapter or so.

Chapter 4: After Class

Kaiba's prediction, though a mental one, came true, surely enough. Poor Atsuko had barely walked out of the classroom when Anzu bombarded her.

"Hi! My name's Anzu! So, you're new and all, I bet you don't know anyone. Just so you know, if you ever want someone to hang out with, you can always come over with me and my friends. They're around here somewhere…anyway, you've heard of Yugi Motou, right?"

Atusko arched an eyebrow at Anzu's erratic behavior, but replied, "Yes, I've heard of him. Champion of some sort of game, right?"

"Duel Monsters, to be precise", said Anzu, still rambling on, "Well, and then there's Jonouchi, Honda, and Otogi, you'll probably have some classes with them. They look tough, but really, they're not. Well, anyway, I just wanted to say that if you ever want some friends, we'll be here."

"Thanks for the offer, but…can you get out of my way? I have to go to class." The ebony-haired teen narrowed her violet-colored eyes. Anzu suddenly snapped back to reality and jumped out of Atsuko's way, blushing.

"Oh, sorry. So what class do you have next?"

"Hopefully not one with you in it."

"Our History teacher was right, you've got a sense of humor. Well, I suppose I'll see you at lunch then?"

"I hope not."

"Well, bye, Atsuko!" called Anzu, who seemed to have the mentality that Kaiba was the only one who wouldn't want to be her friend.

"What an annoying dweeb", Atsuko muttered, as she located her locker…which was next to Kaiba's. Atsuko arched an eyebrow at this little fact. First he sat next to her in History, now he had a locker next to her?

"Damn faculty. They did it on purpose", she muttered, cursing loudly when the locker combo didn't work.

Kaiba didn't really pay much attention to her. He didn't care enough to look over at see what was causing her so much strife. But after having to listen to her curse for a full minute, he began to get annoyed.

"---fuckin goddamn locker---" she was mumbling.

"Having trouble?" he asked, his tall form behind hers.

"No. I can handle it. If there's one thing I don't need, it's your help. Look, see, there, it opened. Now if you don't mind, you're blocking the hall", Atsuko replied, not even turning to look at who was behind her. Kaiba arched an eyebrow. Did she not care who he was? She reminded him oddly of…himself. And that certainly wouldn't do.

After school, Anzu immediately scouted out Atsuko.

"Hey Atsuko! I'd like you to meet Yugi", she said, pulling Yugi out of nowhere. Yugi struggled to get away from her, but Anzu had an iron grip on his wrist.

"I don't know about you, but I have things to do…more worthwhile things than meeting your little club. So sayonara." With that said, she turned to walk away, looking back at them only once.

Yugi could have sworn that her eyes flashed red, but the next second, they had resumed their typical violet color, and he was unsure if he had actually seen it at all.

"What do you think of her, Atemu?" he asked his hikari.

"I see nothing wrong with her", Atemu replied. Yugi was surprised with this answer.

"Oh, so you think the lunch ladies are evil, but not her? We definitely need to keep an eye on her."

"Sure, do what you wish, Yugi. If you ever need me to duel a Shadow Game, I'm here."

Author's Note: A very pointless, very short chapter all together. The basic point of this one was to show a little Anzu bashing for her obsession with friendship…anyway, the next chapter'll be good, so stick around. And don't forget, Kaiba will get paired with someone soon, so tell me your suggestions!
