The Dancer and the Puppy

Chapter 7: Surprise

Cinderella Audition Results

Cinderella: Anzu Mazaki

Prince: (To Be Announced in class)….

That was all Jou and Anzu needed to see that Monday in dance class. They both mentally decided to ignore what had happen and focus on other things, aka denial of their true feelings. "I got the part…" Anzu said quietly to herself. Jou still was looking at the paper. "HOW COULD SHE NOT TELL US WHO'S THE PRINCE? THAT IS SO WRONG, I MEAN I DON'T WANT NO PERVY GUY TO FEEL YOU U…" Then he stopped himself in mid-sentence, leering at the guys in the class, "THAT'S RIGHT, I'M TALKING TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU PERVERTS. I SWEAR, IF YOU TOUCH HER, I WILL…"

"Will what, mutt?" Anzu laughed nervously, and Jou slowly turned around. I swear, if that's who I think it is…And it was. Seto Kaiba. In their dance class. Something was seriously wrong with this picture.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" "I'm directing this play," Kaiba said, his gaze falling toward Anzu, "And I'm the Prince." All the other females became ridiculously jealous of the star. Maybe a little too jealous. All the other male dancers glared at Kaiba. Anzu finally walked up to Kaiba, "And yeah, Kaiba, can you even dance?" "Better than the mutt can. Let me show you." Unexpectedly, he pulled the brunette girl closer to his tall lean body and they started…waltzing

They two seemed to have swished and flowed in their own way that was charmingly beautiful. The class ooh-ed and aww-ed, while Jou watched at a lost for words. Anzu would be better off with Kaiba. I hate Kaiba, but…would she really rather choose him over me? Who wouldn't? Maybe the kiss, this summer…doesn't really mean anything. Maybe it was just lust. "Oh this is why Mr. Kaiba is getting the lead part! He has been taking my private classes forever…oh and Katsuya, I found a part for you in the play. You can be a tree…"

Anzu pushed herself away from Kaiba and heard Jou say, "Well you know what Ms. Garett? You can take your crappy play and shove it up your ass for all I care. I quit. See ya Anzu, have fun with Kaiba, not that you already weren't…"

"Jou!" She tried to go after him, but a hand held her back, "Remember our deal Mazaki? You're not suppose to let anything get in the way." She wriggled her arm free, "Jou is not a thing, he's my best friend, and guess what? I'm quitting everything. Nothing is worth it if I lose him too. But you'll never get it Kaiba. People who never felt love wouldn't get it at all." That shut him up. "Anzu, don't quit…" Ms. Garett pleaded, but to no avail, for she was already gone.

Zana: I know, after all this time it is such a short, crappy chapter, but there are reasons to my madness. First of all, I have school-ish things I am busy doing and second of all, this leads into the next chapter, which is really long and the turning point of my story. So once again, I apologize, so in order to redeem myself a little, I give you a small Anzu/Jou one-shot…just a little random something…

Idiot, Doofus, Wait, What?

"Idiot," Jou murmured.

"Doofus," Anzu responded.

The two-ex-friends glared at each other as they sat in confinement. In detention. "Wait, did you say doofus?" "So what is if I did?" she jeered. "No one says that anymore." Anzu crossed her arms, "Well I said it. So there. This is all YOUR fault we're in here you know. If you hadn't thrown that chip at me…" "Well you shouldn't have thrown pudding at me, but since you have such bad aim, you missed and ME dragged in this with you." Anzu huffed, "I never get detention, and this will mess up my polished record."

"Ooh, your record, I'm so sorry!" Jou wailed sarcastically, "Next time, get a better aim." "And next time, you should GROW UP!" And with that, she turned in her seat to face the window.

Jou looked at her back. He could see the outline of her bra through the thin material of the school uniform. Not that he was thinking such thoughts.

Oh wait, now he was. He was a male, a straight one at that.

Anzu looked from the corner of her eye. Why is Jou looking at me? It's kind of weird, especially if we're not talking to each other. I hate it when people stare at me.

"Anzu." She turned, "What is it?"

"I'm sorry." After a moment of silence, she replied, "I'm sorry too." The classroom became silent once again. "You two may be dismissed from detention now," the teacher who was watching them announced. "Yes, free at last! Let's go Anzu, there's something I wan to tell ya…" What could he want to tell me?

Outside of the school building, Jou pulled on Anzu's bra trap, which made a little snap noise. Anzu kicked him in the knee, although she wanted to kick elsewhere, "You idiot, that hurt!"

Jou grinned, "No, you're suppose to be the idiot, my idiot." With that statement, he bushed some of her dark brown bangs out of the way, kissing the smooth, pale flesh that was her forehead.

Anzu blushed, when he pulled away. But then smiled and said, "Then you're my doofus, you softie." This time, she kissed him lightly on the lips.
