It Goes Where?
By:
Louisiana-Southern-Belle
Summary: What happens when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere with some interesting help? Maybe you can help Anzu figure out where it goes….
Chapter 4: What Kind of Situations?
Now, let us review the situation. You were innocently taking class and twisted your ankle, because the CD player saw your innocent foot just waiting to be tripped.
Then you accidentally get lost with no gas in your car, and meet a starfish, I mean man, named Atem. Who you had single handedly knocked to the ground and preceded to 'accidentally' straddle after tripping, again.
Alright.
So far, so good.
You think he is just another perverted jerk who deserved getting practically gender bended.
Ouch.
It gets better.
You run over him, find out he is drop dead handsome, gave your own personal number to him, and left.
This may seem like the whole knight in shining armor, or car, situation but then you realize one BIG downer.
You have a boyfriend already.
Perhaps the CD player had placed a curse upon you…
'Why can't I stop think about him!' Anzu already knew the answers to every question her mind was bombarding her with.
Anzu looked across her lightly furnished living room. It was cozy, with a blue couch and matching love seat with a wooden coffee table in the middle.
'Nothing seems right anymore.' She mused with herself while scowling at the love seat. The blasted thing reminded her of all the times she and Seto had sat there. And it made her fantasize of what fun her and Atem would have.
She gave a heavy sigh and blew a piece of loose hair from her face.
Seto. She remembered the day they got together. She had been late for a big rehearsal, crashing through the halls and grounding anyone in her way into the carpet.
She allowed herself a smirk.
'Poor fools.'
But when she had rounded a certain corner, so did a very young and handsome CEO. Anzu had started to apologize and sprint again, but then she saw his eyes. Anzu knew it sounded cornier than the box of Corn Flakes, but it was true.
The sensation was warm and comforting. But nothing like Atem's crimson waves of passion that were piercing and enticing.
There she went again. Thinking of him….
Anzu was snapped out of her reverie when that all too familiar ring brought her mind down from cloud nine.
Her hand reached down to answer, but then realized something shocking, frightening, exciting,…
What if it was him?
She wasn't fully sorted with her thoughts about Atem enough to be talking to him!
Final set of the ring was coming…
'To hell with it!'
She could be brave!
Fight fire with fire!
Bring on the lions!
No stup –
"Hello?" Anzu squeaked out.
To hell that bit of courage went.
"Seto?" she sat up from her laying position on the couch, not expecting his voice.
"Yes, I'm fine," she paused to listen, "yes; I did what you told me to do. Ice packs and heat, they are both on there."
Anzu looked down at her ankle. Shortly after arriving at Seto's she insisted she didn't need a doctor and that it wasn't broken. Miraculously it wasn't, and the inflammation had died down considerably.
"Go out to dinner tonight?" she repeated the question.
"Uh… sure, why not?" Anzu didn't know what possessed her to say 'yes' but he just sounded so worried.
"Around 8. Alright. See you then," She hung up her phone.
She gingerly took a step on her ankle, testing the weight. She didn't fall and was able balance pretty securely on it. The 'accident' had happened around noon, and it was nearly eight o'clock at night.
Unconsciously her mind was drifting back to the feeling of their hands touching, and the sensation of warm, calloused hands brushing against her small, soft ones….
'Snap yourself out of your daydream Anzu! You need to focus on the now, not the then.'
Even though the thought was supposed to be a command, it sounded very sad and lost.
But still…..
'I wonder what he's doing now..'
……………………………………..
Atem dusted the grease from is hands to the faded jeans.
He had managed to dislocate three different wires on a car, hit his head on the roof of a car twice, and chase after a tire that had gotten away from him while changing a flat.
He swore he heard the cursed thing laugh as it continued rolling into ongoing traffic.
Oh yes, that was very amusing for Jou.
And the tire.
Atem heaved a heavy sigh. There was only one reason he had lost his mind the last couple of hours. It was because of her.
Anzu.
He still had the piece of paper with the phone number in his back pocket, just itching to be unfolded and used.
"I can see what's happen.'"
"What?"
"And they don't have a clue."
"Who?"
"They'll fall in love,
And here's the bottom line,-"
"Atem wants Anzu!"
One female and male voice laughed into the air. Atem turned about to see Jou and his dream girl, Mai standing next to each other finishing their song arm in arm.
"You two think you're real funny? Huh?" Atem growled out.
"Aw, come on Temmy! We were just having a bit of fun!" Mai said in an airy like voice.
He cringed at hearing the nickname that woman had so dutifully bestowed upon him.
"First of all, don't call me that, and second, don't quit your day job." Atem replied with a smirk.
"Hey now, I can understand the name calling, but ta' insult tha' singin'?" Jou gave him a rather pathetic pout.
"Aw, hun, you looked like you needed some cheering up, and according to this goof ball here, that 'Anzu' girl would do it." Mai countered, while pulling Jou into a head lock for fun.
Atem rolled his eyes at her. Mai was wearing a blue jean skirt to mid thigh that looked like it had been caught in the wringer with a white tank top. Her blonde flowing hair was pushed back with a hair band of violet to match her eyes perfectly.
"Yeah, well you're not far from the right track." He admitted grudgingly.
"By the way Mai, aren't you working tomorrow through Friday?" Atem quirked a brow at her suspiciously.
She blushed for a moment only to answer quickly, "Well, as you know I can't have Jou round' you all the time, rubs off on him, and well I ….," she paused to regain composure of her burning ears, "I thought he could use a little company." She finished gesturing towards Jou who smirked in triumph at the confession.
"Can't get enough of me, eh?" Jou asked puffing out his chest in a manly way.
Mai rolled her eyes and punched him in the arm.
"Just can't take my hand off ya, trust me."
Atem wanted to laugh out right. Mai always put up defenses whenit came to her feelings for the goof, though Jou paraded around singing his. He settled for a chuckle instead.
Something caught his eye as he looked out the window of the shop. There was something lying limply on the ground near one of the pumps.
'What is that?' he jumped off the counter and made his way outside.
Upon further inspection he found it was a wallet of some kind.
'Who could have left this?'
………………….
Anzu had successfully showered, dried and clothed herself in record time.
'Now to find the right purse to match.'
She wore a simple long light blue skirt with embroidered sequins and fake studs all over that went to her knees and a nice light pink tank top with matching sequins and medium healed shoes. Her hair was down completely, hanging a little past her shoulders. Her ears held silver earrings that dangled down to her chin. She wore light mascara and gloss.
This may seem a bit fancy, but with Seto Kaiba, she never really knew where they would be going.
Seto was the CEO of a major gaming corporation called Kiaba Corp. She didn't make the connection until their second date. Another one of more her embarrassing memories, since she had asked him who he worked for.
Whoops.
'Alright, now to transfer purses.'
Anzu chose a white diamond studded short strap purse. Taking out her purse from today, she dumped the contents out and went through a check list in her head switching the items from old to new purse.
'Car keys, make-up, extra make-up, back up, cell phone, wallet…wait.'
'Wallet!' she screamed at herself. Where could it have gone? The last place she went and opened her wallet was…..
At the gas station.
The doorbell rang, the clock read eight.
Anzu had two options. One, tell Seto , or two, simply wait for whoever found it to be kind enough not to steal all the credit and debit cards she still hadn't paid the balance for.
Well crap.
She answered the door with an almost twitchy eye.
'Why do I get myself into these situations?'
……………………………
'Maybe it's that old guy's, ya know, the one with the beard?" Jou asked while scratching his head.
All three of them were huddled around the wallet Atem had found outside.
"Um, I don't think he would sporting a pink and flowered wallet, do you?" Mai answered for him with a 'Duh' look on her face.
"I guess that clears the rocker guy too then…" Jou pondered out loud.
Mai shook her head.
"Wait," Atem said to no one in particular, "there's no I.D., just a lot of receipts and debit cards for almost every outlet in the mall. So we know they had money to spend."
"My kind of girl." Mai said to herself while shuffling through the cards.
"How do you know it was a girl?"
Both Atem and Mai had to smack Jou for that one.
"Wait, do you think it could be," Atem paused, "Anzu's?"
"Maybe." Mai answered.
"Hey man, that means she would come back for ya', I mean, the wallet!" Jou said triumphantly.
Atem smiled to himself. Maybe….
………………………………
"Are you sure this is where you lost it?" Seto asked Anzu while following her directions that supposedly lead them to the place she had gotten lost earlier that day.
He had shown up at her house not a minute late, but found that Anzu had left her wallet at a gas station, of all places! Since he was not one to leave money in the hands of others, Seto agreed he would bring her back for it.
"I'm positive." Anzu answered nervously.
She was praying Atem and Jou had left already, that she could get her item and go, and no questions would be asked.
"May I ask, pray tell, how it ended up not in your purse?" Seto inquired.
'Well I hit this guy with a door and then straddled him, but you don't know that, then hit him with my car, and almost kissed him because I want him not you, but you really don't need to know that either.'
Her mouth spoke a bit differently,
"Must have happened when I fell."
"You fell?" His face was contorted into worry.
Crap.
"Well tripped." She offered hoping to satisfy his need to ask questions.
"Again?"
Dammit.
"Well this situation was, uh, different." Anzu was about to start sweating. Seto would see through her….
"Situation? Different? How?" he asked .
"Well, I landed on some well, uh, thing" she could've smacked herself out right for that smooth excuse.
"What kind of thing?" this was getting annoying.
"Well, not thing, one,- yes, someone, uh well, huh,-"
What to say?
What to say?
Oh well.
"A guy?" she finished.
"WHAT!"
Shitake mushrooms.
………………………………..
"Hey, do we know anyone with a Mercedes?" Jou asked from the window of the repair shop on the side of the building.
"No." was the unison reply from the Peanut Gallery.
"Uh, then why is one here?"
"This is a gas station, ya' know." Mai stated bluntly.
"Yeah well the guy looks familiar." Jou continued.
Mai's interest was spiked.
"Oh my God." She whispered out.
"Wasn't he on the Wheaties box this mornin'?" he asked again.
"Wait a sec', I saw her on top of Atem twice today! Pun not intended!" Jou said in amazement.
"Is that 'Anzu'?"
"Is that Seto Kaiba?"
"Is that her boyfriend?"
The questions continuted to fly from their mouths.
Atem wanted to know what was going on, and he was going to find out now. There was no use in asking them from behind glass. With his mind set, he started at the doors.
Head held high, and stride in check; he strode toward the man who was standing near Anzu with an expressionless look upon his face.
But he couldn't help but notice the man seemed to be looking at something above Atem.
Maybe something in his hair….?
……………………………………..
"What the hell is that?" Seto asked while Anzu climbed out of the car.
"What?" she asked while turning around fully to spot whatever he was talking about.
Color drained from her face.
Atem was approaching them, with that smirk on his face that screamed 'this is going to be fun.'
………………………………………
'This is going to be fun' Atem thought with anger and amusement evident in his features.
…………………………………..
"Twenty bucks says that Atem kicks Kaiba's Wheaties ass." Jou leaned to Mai and whispered.
………………………………
How was that, I know, kind of boring, But! it all leads to the fun stuff, like interventions! Or in Lathayan's words: Oh… the drama!
Also Mai is not really a main character per say, she just happened to be there. She will pop up every now and then.
Next chapter will answer questions and fuel romance! Whooo hoooo!
Review for your own favorite character as a chibi!
3 reviews to tell me about this chapter would be appreciated greatly!
Also I was wondering if I should put Mokuba in this story. And if I do, should he be the little brother or not? Since this is AU, it could go either way. Could you give your opinion in a review also?
That would help very much!
Thank you ,
Love,
