It Goes Where?
By:
Louisiana-Southern-Belle
Summary: What happens when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere with some very interesting help? Maybe you can help Anzu find where it goes…
Chapter 3: She Has A What?
Now, picture this, you are getting out of your car innocently trying to see what is happening, when the next thing you know, you are straddling a hot guy who is not your boyfriend.
Amusing to us, Yes.
Amusing to say, Anzu, No.
How unfortunate…….
'Alright, he really needs to let go of me, now!' Anzu thought angrily.
'Damn, she must really work out!' Atem amusingly thought, while mindlessly caressing her waist.
'Is he...'
'Am I ….'
"Hey, now, this is a public area, please report to a more private place for romantic thoughts….." Jou barely rasped out while holding onto his sides, laughing.
Anzu glared hard at the star head beneath her. "Would you kindly let me go?"
"Why, you don't like me?" Atem innocently drawled.
Anzu leaned down to his face, an inch from his mouth, "Actually hun', I was thinkin' of a 'way' to show you how I feel..." she answered seductively.
Atem gasped as he felt a knee strike him hard where the suns don't shine.
Straightening out her clothes and hopping slightly over to Jou, who stood slack jawed in shock.
"Next time, learn to keep your hands to yourself!" and with that, Anzu made her way back to the tank, looking at Jou for his help.
Jou walked casually up to Atem, who still looked like a fish out of water, flopping for air and said,
"Sorry man, but I got ta' go help the lady with her car. It seems I have a way with the ladies that you don' posses."
Atem lashed out with his leg to strike him, but missed terribly.
Walking back over to Anzu, Jou casually stated, "Ya know, I have never known anyone to bring Atem down with one motion."
"Really? Then obviously he doesn't associate with women very often, because I thought he would be used to that feeling." Was Anzu's natural reply.
Jou laughed out right.
"Ya got spunk, I like that, could I have the honor of knowin' your name, miss?"
Anzu thought it over, seeing as she may never see him again, and prayed never to see the crack addict, she agreed mentally.
"Why good sir, it would be," she paused dramatically " Anzu."
"What a nice name." Jou thought out loud. "Well Anzu, all fixed."
'Wow, that was fast. I was so busy talking I did not realize he was working.' She thought in awe.
Walking back around the car to the driver's seat to fetch her wallet, she gave herself a mental pat on the back for showing that Atem guy that she was not to be messed with. She also noted he wasn't lying on the ground anymore.
'Hmm… wonder if I hurt him too badly?' Anzu thought half concerned, half amused.
'Nay'
Atem now sat on the old counter inside the store trying to reason out his thoughts.
A girl, no, woman, had just struck him where he could have been gender bended. Not a good memory, that's for sure.
Yet, this girl had a lot of fire, and passion, which he found amusing yet attractive. He decided he needed to know more about her, her smile, the different emotions that would turn the shade of her eyes from relaxed ocean, to raging storm.
But then again, his mamma had always warned him never to play with fire.
He never listened.
Mamma also said to fight fire with fire.
He had listened to that.
"Look, it really ain't necessary to pay." Jou honestly told Anzu, handing the bills back to her.
"Are you sure?" Anzu asked with concern and gratefulness laced within her voice.
"Course' I am, after everything you've been through, even though I don' think you minded it too much," he gave her a wink at that, making her blush with the memory still fresh in her mind, "that ankle of yours looks pretty bad and I think you need to get home and fast." He finished with a smile that made her heart melt.
"Okay, only if you're sure." Anzu answered with uncertainty. She had the tendency to feel guilty when people wouldn't accept money she owed.
"Yup, and sides', I never had this much entertainment in a long time, and we have any change for ya!" Jou mused, while flashing a toothy grin.
Anzu only smiled back in gratitude.
"I guess I should be going then, thank you so much for your help, Jou." She gave him a quick and fleeting smile while heading back to the driver's seat of the yellow beetle bug.
( )
Atem noticed that Jou had filled up the car's tank, so she was leaving now.
Wait, no!
She couldn't leave; he needed to speak with her one last time.
He rushed, or partly hobbled, his way off the counter, figuring how to stop her.
Anzu got behind the wheel and fastened her seat belt, and rolled down the window when she saw Jou approaching the window. He rested his elbows on the door so he could be eye level with her.
"You drive safe now, ya hear?" Jou intructed.
"Yes, sir!" Anzu mockingly saluted.
"Good." he laughed back at her.
"Now to go back to the interstate just go out here," he demonstrated by pointing to the road ahead, "then go left." Jou finished with his map in the air with thumbs up.
"Got it." Anzu confidently answered, although she really didn't follow all of what he said, she watched a finger go left, then right, so she was content with that.
"Come back to see us again, alright?" he told her seriously.
"I will be sure to get lost again, don't you worry! But I don't know about the guy Atem, I could run over him at first sight right now." Anzu said with a huff.
"Aw, don' you worry bout' him, he was caught off guard by your charm." Jou countered with a wink.
She blushed and put the car in reverse, rolling up her window. She saw Jou walk around to the other side of her car out of harms way. Turning around, she was now parallel to the shop's entrance.
He saw her backing up, and slowly passing by the shop.
But how to stop her?
Then he knew.
Going down on the gas a bit more, she screamed bloody murder when a lop sided spiked head with a body ran in front of her car , unable to stop quick enough, she hit the mutation.
Dead on.
Ouch.
'Damn, she's good.'
For the third time today, Jou stood opened mouthed watching his friend on the ground again, but now because the girl had practically run over him.
He made a mental note to listen whenever she promised something next time.
Anzu had already made it out of her car to aid the guy she had just run over.
'I'm too good for my own damn good!' she cursed mentally.
"Why must you be so stupid!" she screamed at Atem, who only smirked in pain and amusement.
"Because fair maiden, I didn't catch your name."
Anzu was a bit taken aback. He had run in front of a moving vehicle just to know her name?
How stupid!
How stupid!
How…..
Sweet.
"Are you serious?" was the only logical thing to come from her mouth.
Atem grunted and stood up to stand beside her.
"Why yes, I am indeed," he gave her a charming smile; "I had to know the name of my fair maiden." He took a step towards her.
Anzu was still in mid 'awe' when she noticed he was closer. He really was handsome, even with a starfish for hair. Strong and structured face, with the most enticing eyes that made her stomach do flip flops.
'Wait, I can't be feeling this!'
Atem stared into her eyes of azure bliss and wonder. He looked lower to her pink lips that just begged him to come closer.
So he did.
'Is he closer? Uh no…..'
Oh yes.
"It's. I…..am…my….." she gave up with the whole sentence thing. "Anzu."
"What a beautiful name. When will I get to see you again?" Atem nearly whispered while getting closer to her alluring lips.
"I… don't …know…I …." Anzu's mind was mush as she stared at the nearing lips.
'So close…'his mind cheered.
'Too close!' her mind jumped for her sanity bringing her back to earth.
She tore from his gaze and headed towards her door again.
'What the hell happened?' Atem was lost.
'What the hell happened?' Jou was confused while watching from the side lines.
He had been cheering his buddy on, then, bam! Anzu pulled away.
'Maybe she already has…. Uh Oh…..'
This is has gotten interesting.
"I am really sorry, but I must go now, here," she dug in her purse and with a piece of a receipt she found on her floor board and pen wrote out something, "use this if you want to talk. Okay? Thanks again," she paused to look into his eyes once more, "Atem." She practically breathed out.
He walked to her door and took the piece of paper from her hand.
When there hands touched momentarily, Anzu swore she felt a spark of electricity that enticed, yet, frightened her.
"Thank you, Anzu, and I think I will." He flashed another breath taking smile and closed her door for her.
"Hope to see you soon." Atem said looking into her eyes.
Her mouth betraying her, she answered back,
"Me too."
And with that, all Atem saw was a cloud of dust of where her car had been.
Jou walked up to him and slung an arm around his shoulder.
"Man, you two really got sparks." To add to his sentenced he put his hands in the air and moved all his fingers to make it look like fire works.
"Yeah, she's something else." Atem looked down at the phone number in his hands.
Anzu could not believe she had done that. That should not have happened, they almost kissed!
She shook her head trying to make sense of herself.
She was attracted to him, that's for sure; she even gave him her cell phone number!
Too lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the gates of a mansion stopping her from entering.
With out think twice he rolled down her window and punched a key code into place.
'Maybe I want him to call, maybe I don't.' Anzu was debating herself again while parking in front of a two huge oak doors.
'I mean, I haven't gone insane, there wouldn't be any harm to see him again.'
'Right?'
Without even realizing it, she was opening the doors with her spare keys and stepping inside a grand parlor with a marble staircase leading to the second story.
'I have gone Insane.'
'No Sane.'
'Wait Insane!'
'Sane?'
'In-'
She was cut knocked of target when a pair of two strong arms appeared around her waist.
"What took you so long? That ankle looks bad, what happened? Was it those shoes I warned you not to wear?"
A deep voice rang in her ear.
Turning around Anzu, was met with a pair of deeper azure eyes then her own.
"Ah, I'm fine I promise, and uh… just had to get gas…..no need to worry," she paused and for a brief moment forgot her boyfriend's name, " Seto."
'I do believe I know which side has won.' She mused.
Because:
Her mamma had always told her that when you play with fire, you get burned.
She never listened.
But her mamma had never met Atem's beautiful, crimson eyes, she had.
Eyes that could burn.
Burn her.
She should have listened.
'Insane.'
So, how was it? I put an evil twist in there did ya see it? ( looks around for any raised hands from viewers ) well, tell me what you think, and you win a plushie of your choice!
Whoo hoo!
