Chapter 6: Who Turned On The Heat?

"Well not on a…a…date per se, but how about you and me go out do something as friends, but not that kind of something because friends don't use that sort of things together because they are friends…right?" Anzu nodded, "Right. I guess we can. Go out on a friend-like outing. For friends." We're both saying the word friend more than in one of my speeches, she thought. "Ok then. How about tonight? According the the weather guy, it's suppose to be cooler," Jou said, slightly blushing. "Yeah…tonight sounds good. Oh, look, we're at my place already. I'll see you later…around 7:00?" "Perfect, see ya Anzu!" "Bye Jou." The brunette girl entered her place and closed the door, breathing heavily. This is so a date. What should I wear?

"THIS IS SO A DATE! WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?" he had called Yugi to get some advice because Yugi was sensitive like that. Now his best friend was on speaker phone. "Wear what you always wear. " Jou growled, "I want to look nice for her, you know? I can't wear what I always wear!" "Then wear a suit," Yugi said, laughing. "That's exactly what my dad said! Grrrrr…" the stressed blonde collapsed on to his bed, thinking. Thinking about how beautiful Anzu was, and how she would look in various outfits. "Hey, do you have a crush on Anzu?" Yugi asked. And then Jou's eyes widened. How could I forget? Yugi likes Anzu! Oh no, I'm the worst friend ever! He must hate me so much right now…"Uh, no, of course not! She's like, my friend that would be so wrong! We're just hanging out, you know? Because of the dance thing and stuff, heh, heh…" Now you're lying to your best friend. Katsuya Jonouchi you are going straight to hell. "Oh, ok," Yugi said, obvious relief flooding into his voice.

Meanwhile, Anzu had decided on an outfit. A pair of casual jean shorts with blue tank top that had the logo of her dance school on it, with flip-flops. I really need girl friends to talk to about these things about. I wonder what Jou is going to wear… She felt very excited and bubbling with energy for some reason now. I wonder what would happen, if we…we…actually kissed? She imagined Jou's lips to be soft and clean of all food particles. She licked her own lips for a second before blushing. "Yeah right, stop dreaming and get back to life." But it was always pleasant to dream and wonder.

Why did she wear shorts? Oh why does she have to show off her legs? "Hey Anzu. You look good." "Thanks, you too." Jou had decided to wear khaki shorts with a white t-shirt and white sneakers. "Goodbye you two. And have fun on your date!" Mrs. Mazaki said, and the both of them yelled, "IT IS NOT A DATE!" "Right. I'm sorry," said the older woman before closing the door. She smiled watching them through her window. "It's just like how we met," said Mr. Mazaki said, coming up behind his wife, "teenage love does that to you…"

The movies were always a good choice. Cool, dark and entertaining. Jou offered to buy the ticket which was very gentleman-like of him. Anzu then offered to buy the popcorn. Then they went to go see the movie which was called, "Duel or Die," which was obviously about dueling or dying. It would mostly be a rip-off of the rivalry between Yugi and Kaiba. "Let's sit in the back," Anzu suggested spotting two seats open, "I heard it was a good movie." "Yeah, they gave it four thumbs up, but then again, everyone's a critic." Anzu laughed and then there was an awkward silence as the previews started to roll by. Jou shoved popcorn in his mouth to stop himself from saying something foolish. Anzu sighed and started tapping her fingers on her thighs. My legs are getting cold, she thought. She looked over at Jou who was eating popcorn, still. "Sooo…" "Umooo," the blonde said.

It was only fifteen minutes into the movie and it was already putting people to sleep. The two main characters kept on talking about dueling each other, but no actual dueling was going on. "They oughta change the title to Go-to-this-movie-or-die," Anzu whispered. "Then let's blow this taco stand and do something else. I ate all the popcorn anyway." They both snickered as they exited the theater.

"So, where shall we go milady?" Jou said in a horrible British accent. "Hmm, sir, maybe we shalt head to the arcade? For a round of DDR perhaps?" Anzu responded in a just as horrible accent. "Ok, the arcade it is! Last one there buys the soda!" "You're on!" Anzu had started to run and already got in front of Jou.

"Ohhhhh nooo…" Anzu groaned as soon as she entered the arcade. "What? What is it?" 'Uh, remember the time I went out with Yami for a day to help him do…something? That bastard who almost made me break my ankle…is here." That's right people, it was Johnny Steps. Jou blinked, "So should I go kick his ass?" "No…at least, not yet. I just hope he doesn't…" "Hey! Well, well, well, look who it is! It's Mazaki, still looking beautiful as ever," Johnny said, noticing her. Jou's hands were slowly balling into fists. "Didn't you learn anything from last time? You remember don't you? How you ran away from the duel just because my friend was winning?" Johnny glared at her, "That's the only thing about you. You and your big mouth. Besides that, I'm sure you'd be a perfect girlfriend. And who is this guy anyway? Did you dump Yugi already?" "Yugi and I are friends. And Jou and I are friends, get it straight Steps." "Right. I'm sure you call all your boyfriends your…friends." Jou stood in front of Anzu, "Listen Steps, if that is your REAL last name you need to back off of Anzu cause she doesn't need any of your crap to deal with ok? And I challenge you to a game of DDR! When I win, you have to leave Anzu alone for good or I will find where you live and kill ya."

"But if I win, Anzu has to be my girlfriend," Johnny said. Her blue eyes widened, "Jou, I really, really, hope…actually you better win! Or I will kill you!" Jou grinned his trademark goofy grin, "Relax, I can't lose after all those dance classes. Have a little faith, huh?" "Ok I have faith in you, even though it's easier to have faith in Yugi, since he is the King of Games and all…" "What?" "Uh, nothing. Now kick this guy's ass!" Both Jou and Johnny got up on the dance pads and fast paced music started playing. Jou actually wasn't doing too badly. He was actually winning. Before Johnny got jealous and started messing up his moves. "Cheating bastard," Jou growled. "This is why I am going to win…" Then Johnny kicked Jou in the knee and the blonde fell, which made him lose the game. Anzu was enraged, "That was messed up!" She rushed to her fallen friend, "Jou are you ok?' "I'm fine, but that bastard isn't…"

"Ha, I win! Anzu, you're mine!" He grabbed her and she replied him with a bitch slap on the face. "Ouch, my face! That hurt! You little ho!" "Go to hell!" Jou growled, punching him in the face, and jerking his knee into the guy's gut. Johnny coughed, "Crazy people, I'm outta here!" He ran home like the little loser he was. People in the arcaded cheered with joy, because frankly, Steps was getting on their nerves. "Let's go," Anzu said, holding Jou's hand. They both blushed but still held hands as they exited the arcade.

It was around right now, and the sun was just starting to set. The two decided to take a short stroll in the park. They still held hands. It was just too hard for one of them to let go. "You know, I can still find out where he lives and then kill him…" "No, I think he learned his lesson…for now," Anzu said softly. Should I kiss him now? Wouldn't that be a little clichéd? But we are holding hands. Isn't that a sign or something? I should read more of those teenage girl magazines…ok, I'm going to do it. I am going to kiss him. Just so I can get it out of my system…ok, do it! Anzu stopped moving and Jou asked, "What's up?" She said nothing as she tippy-toed on the balls of her feet and pressed her lips tenderly on Jou's. This was a huge surprise to the blonde. He had never really kissed a girl before, but he did what his mind told him to do, as he fully kissed her back. Her lip-gloss smudged on his lips, but it tasted like kiwi. Her lips parted slightly and his tongue entered the moist recesses of her mouth.

He delicate fingers ran through his hair, making it even messier than it already was. Her body just wanted more. For Jou to touch her everywhere, to do everything to her. She pressed herself harder on him, and then Jou lost his balance as the two fell to the ground. Both were breathing heavily.

"Can you explain what just happened?" Jou asked, finally some awkward silence. "We…we kissed." Anzu still sat on top of him and was actually straddling him a little. "I know that…but…what does it mean?" No, I can't ruin our friendship, she thought, no matter how nice it felt. No matter how much I want touch him. "It was nothing…" she said, getting off of him, "nothing at all, so let's forget it ok?" "Yeah, we'd better," he said, remembering Yugi. But they couldn't help but kiss again, one final time.

Zana: Yes, they finally kissed! But things are going to get a little more interesting from here! What to expect next chapter? Kaiba-ness, the Cinderella results, and denial. Oh, we can't forget those dreams either! Hmmm, in my crystal ball, I see something called the rating might go up-ness, but it depends on what the readers want to see, so when you review, please tell me! I am now out, see ya later, and R&R!
