Zana: You have to read and hold on to find out! Don't own Yu-Gi-OH too!

Chapter 2: A Crush? No Way!

"Stretch, you must really stretch," hissed Ms. Garett at poor Jou. It was yet another doomed day at Anzu's summer dance class, and at the beginning of every class, they had to do some exercises.

So poor Jou held on to the bar with his left hand, and the stuck one leg out, which made him hit another girl.

But it wasn't just any girl; it was the girl that was Anzu's enemy for the longest time now, Brandy Trotta.

"Ugh, watch it you klutz, some of us actually have a future in the performing business," she scoffed, flipping back some of her wavy, long blond hair. She focused her cold green eyes on Anzu, "You might want to get you boyfriend a leash."

Now Jou was willing to deal with the evil teacher, and he was willing to deal with the fact that he had to dance.

But he would not deal with the fact that Brandy had said that he dated his friend, and that he needed a leash. He got enough of that from Kaiba.

"Mind your own damn business and focus on your gay little partner, huh?" he snapped back coldly. Brandy and her male partner shot death-glares at him before moving to another area of the class.

Jou looked back at Anzu, who had an amused smile on her face. "You know you just started World War …986 between me and her right?"

Jou shrugged, "Yeah, but I have a feeling she won't win. Partners in the fight against Evil Blond Bitches?"

"Partners." They shook hands. Jou quickly went back to stretching as Ms. Garett approached their area yet again. She stopped to watch Anzu.

"See? Her posture is perfect, study what she is doing class," she commented before moving away. Jou looked over to Anzu, and watched her long, perfect legs make a straight line in the air.

She easily did a split on the floor and used her hands to touch her feet. Anzu hated when the teacher told the class to watch her, which was often. It made her look like a teacher's pet, a show-off, which she wasn't.

Jou, however, was getting more jealous by the second as the males in the class gave Anzu hungry, lusty looks. Those losers better watch where their eyes are going, or I won't hesitate to beat the hell outta them, he thought.

"Um, hello, Earth to Jou." Anzu's voice disturbed him from his thoughts. "Yeah?" "Time to waltz again."

"My feet…how much do you weigh again?" Anzu asked after class. Jou shot her a look.

"Are ya saying I'm fat? Aww Anzu, you broke my heart." He dramatically placed a hand on his forehead. She playfully punched him, "Hey, I'm suppose to be the drama queen."

Jou focused his honey-brown eyes on the brunette, "So now do you wanna hang out or do you have to go and rush somewhere like ya did yesterday?" Anzu smiled sheepishly, "Sorry about that…just something I had to do…"

Her blue eyes suddenly lit up, "I have a plan on getting revenge on Brandy and making Ms. Garett stop picking on you!" "What's that?" he asked, confused. "Follow me!" She grabbed his hand, and they ran across the street.

"I always practice at that dancer studio you and Yugi got for me. Now we can practice here." "Ohhhh, we out-dance the bimbo, and Ms. Garett backs off. Makes sense."

Anzu started up the music. It was boring and slow, but she had a little surprise toward the end. She walked toward Jou, "Ok, let's get into the right position, you hands on my waist, and my arms on your shoulders."

As Anzu got closer to him, she smelled the spicy scent of cinnamon. And she felt herself getting a little excited and nervous on Jou's touch. Oh no, it's like the way I felt yesterday! I felt fine during class today, but now…am I? No, no way! I can't! I can't! But…I think I do.

Wow, Anzu's hair smells like vanilla. Ok Jou, don't look at her, dance, dance…huh? She looks kind of worried… "Um, Anzu, are you alright? Do I suck that much?" She looked down, "I feel fine, in fact…" The slow dance music cut off and the boom box started playing some fast, R&B music. The type Anzu loved to move to.

"Come on Jou, dance with me!" She quickly moved away from him, and started going with the flow of the music. Jou just watched as her perfect body swooned, and her long legs did various steps. She's good. She will be a famous performer, one day.

After she was finished, Anzu turned off the music and looked at Jou who was still staring with his mouth opened. "Ta…da?" she asked. "You kicked ass! You sure don't need me to dance!" he answered with a big, goofy grin that Anzu thought made him look really, really cute. And maybe a little sexy. STOP THE THOUGHTS! JOU IS NOT…ok, he is sexy a little, and that's all I'm admitting to myself. Denial is the best policy.

"Well, I for one am tired. Actually, I'm more of hungry, soooo…." Anzu nodded, "Ok, ok, let's get some lunch." And the two friends left the dance studio, unaware that they were holding hands.
