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 5: What Kind of Implications?
You know when everything is happening in slow motion? To the point of feeling intoxicated? Well the feeling was quite mutual in this particular time and place for a certain blue eyed girl.
A girl who had just found herself sandwiched between her boyfriend and her dream guy.
To us, that may seem, well, yummy.
But for Anzu, perhaps more as the feeling….
'I'm gonna puke.'
That works too.
Anzu still hadn't fully comprehended the situation at hand.
'What am I going to do? What if Atem makes Seto think something is going on, well then again,…. No! Bad Anzu! Focus….'
Atem was about ten feet away now. And closing in fast.
'Why is she with this guy? Could he be her boyfriend? No, she would have told me.'
'Right?'
Wrong.
'I wonder what Seto is thinking, probably wants to kill him now…' Anzu didn't want a fight breaking out, but what was she to say?
'What happened to his hair? Perhaps struck by lightening? Or maybe stuck his finger in an electrical socket recently…' Seto really wasn't paying attention to the look on the electrocuted man's face.
Which would be anger.
Atem stopped walking when he stood about five feet in front of Seto.
"Well hi there." Atem spoke with a plastic smile upon his face.
"Do you need any help?" he continued through clenched teeth.
"Actually we've seemed to have misplaced something, do you happen to have a wallet here?" Seto asked in the most business like way.
"You be must pretty secure then." Atem answered with a Cheshire grin on his face.
"Why is that?" Seto was confused; he just wanted the wal-
"Any guy who can walk around with a pink and flowered wallet must be damn proud of what he's got, no?" he added a wink there for extra measure.
The grin grew on Atem's face when he saw the guy's ears turn red.
Anzu decided this was the best time to step in, or in her world, throw herself into the lion pit.
"Actually, it's mine." She answered a bit timidly.
Atem still couldn't figure this whole arrangement out. The girl, who had caused him to hit his head multiple times on the roof of a car and run into on coming traffic, was acting like she didn't know him.
He smirked.
'Maybe I should jog her memory.'
"Well, who might this be? Such a fair maiden shouldn't be out alone." Maybe that will get her.
Anzu involuntarily cringed at the name he chose.
"She's with me." Seto answered for her. He didn't who this guy thought he was, but it was grating on his nerve.
"Really." That was all Atem needed to hear. So he had been right, she had a boyfriend.
Well if she thinks she can get off the hook for not telling me, she has a problem.
A big problem, oh yes.
………………………….
"What do you think they're saying?" Mai asked Jou while trying to see over Atem's hair to the other guy's mouth.
"I don know, but I hope it ain't something to do with boyfriends." Jou answered thinking carefully about the situation.
"You don't think that Kaiba is Anzu's-"
"I do." Jou finished there for her.
"Well this should be interesting." Main thought out loud.
"I know, we gotta chose a new song for him now." Jou thought without truly thinking.
"Ouch!"
Mai didn't have to look at him to know she had successfully knocked him upside the head.
…………………………
Anzu didn't know what was going to come next. Was Atem gong to spill out everything that happened? Or was he going to explode with anger at her for not telling?
The tension around them now could easily choke you to death.
"Well then, please follow me to identify that it is yours, but please watch your footing, wouldn't want you to trip and land straddled, now do we?" Atem answered with a hint of ice laced with his voice.
'Oh, so that's how he wants to play, then eh?' Anzu bitterly followed after him.
"Don't worry I'll do my best not to, but would you please be careful of that door ahead, they do tend to open." She spat back with the same tone.
Seto didn't know what was going on exactly, but it felt as though there was a war waging and he was about to be targeted.
"Is there something going on here? Have you two met before?" he asked suspiciously.
"No!" was the same answer from both.
"Alright then."
Although he didn't quite believe that.
……………………………..
"Wait! They're coming this way!" Mai shouted to Jou as he came back to the windows from getting sodas.
"Aw, no more show?" Jou asked disappointedly.
"If I was standing near you I would smack you! Now, come on we gotta' hide in the back!" she yelled at him while running to him and pushing him back.
"Well ya don' hav ta' be so durn push-"
He was cut off by Mai giving him one final shove into a closet behind the register.
"Well Mai, if I'd known you wanted to be alone…" Jou drawled out.
Jou cries of pain from Mai's knee colliding with parts of him that he held dear could be heard across the store.
…………………………..
"Did you hear that?" Anzu asked out loud when they were about fifteen feet away from the shop door.
"What?" both men turned to face her.
"It sounded like a dying animal..." she continued.
"Probably nothing, we don't have many animals round' here." Atem lightly brushed off the idea.
How wrong he was.
…………………………
"Why Mai? Why?" Jou rasped from his fetal position on the ground.
"Shhhh ya' big baby!" Mai hissed at him while cracking the door open a little way so they could see.
…………………………
All three entered the shop without a word.
Anzu had lost the idea of being civil and was putting on the batter's helmet for the chance to take a swing to Atem's,-
Well you know where that was headed.
Atem decided he was going to make her spill all the secrets, even if that meant getting a blow from her.
Now how low he was willing to risk was another question entirely.
Seto wrinkled his nose in distaste. And he thought the outside was bad. The register was dusty and the counter with candy on the shelf beneath it didn't look in much better shape. It had poor lighting with a few taller rows of supplies in front of him now.
They all stood in silence wrapped up on their own thoughts, before a distant ring brought their attention to Seto's coat pocket.
"Sorry, let me get this." He pulled out his cell and walked out the store toward the car. His face looked a bit angrier now.
Atem looked toward Anzu, only to see her staring right at him.
"Why are you doing this?" Anzu asked finally.
"Hey, it was you that never mentioned this guy." He answered honestly.
He had a point, Anzu knew, but she wasn't talking about that.
"Look, I should have told you, yes. But why act do indifferent now? I'm sorry I didn't mention him, but this could have been avoided." She answered back.
"You mean if you hadn't straddled me then went to kiss me, it wouldn't have happened?" he was getting angry. Everything meant nothing to her?
"I went for a kiss? I believe it was you! And the straddling," she paused to blush making Atem smirk, "wouldn't have happened if you had seen a friggin' door open!" Anzu was getting fed up.
Time to pull out the bat, and step up to the plate.
"You swung it open!" he yelled now.
"You can't see it then either?" she yelled now.
But through all this, they had seemingly gotten closer.
Much closer.
"Tell me now, Anzu, are you attracted to me?" he asked. His voice told her this question was to be answered, now.
"Yes." She answered without hesitation.
She stopped and took in her surroundings now. His lips were about two inches from hers…
His voice snapped her from her thoughts.
"Could something happen between us then?" he continued.
"I- I don't know now." She whispered softly to him.
"No, 'I don't knows,' Anzu." He gripped her shoulders with his hands with a gentle yet firm touch.
"Yes, or no." he finished, and with one hand tilted her face towards him since she had started staring at the tile beneath them.
She now faced him, and had only one thought through her mind.
'Kiss me.'
'Kiss her.'
Was the only thing going through Atem's mind.
He glanced outside to find her boyfriend now in is car, looking away from them to the street. His face looked apologetic, and worried… what was that about?
Then looking back down at the girl's face in his hand, he saw her ocean blue eyes swimming in emotion. He wanted to drown now, wanting nothing more than to take her from who she already was with.
Her lips though, so soft looking, probably better tasting…
He leaned closer slowly taking in her perfume of fresh linen and apricots, feeling intoxicated already.
Anzu saw him coming closer and instead of pushing away like she should have, she felt her feet slowly rising off to the balls of her feet to match his height,…
He saw her eyes become half lidded, and her lips begged him closer…
The last of her to see before completely letting his fiery eyes consume her soul, was those lips, and felt the light tickle of breathing upon her face.
He closed down on her lips, moving over them ever so slightly, testing her willingness.
She moaned with the anticipation and excitement in her now.
He pulled back slightly and blew on her lips, making her part them as her breath hitched in her throat.
Atem descended again, but pushed his tongue out slightly out of his mouth before his lips went to hers, and with the inched his tongue into her mouth.
She felt her senses go blank even with the simplest taste of his tongue on hers. The airy feeling of bliss was all her mind could grasp before he completely put his lips on her own and delved deeper into her mouth using his tongue to slide sensually along her own.
He groaned with finally tasting her. Heavenly was all he felt.
Anzu had never been kissed like this before; Seto always made her happy, but knock her flat, how about no.
But all good things must come to an end, with one final and long sensual stroke, Atem pulled back.
They stood there looking into each other eyes for what seemed like an eternity.
Anzu's breathing was slightly off, and Atem smirked knowing he had done that to her.
He leaned to her ear, and whispered sweetly,
"The game as begun, and dear Seto doesn't have a chance."
Anzu's eyes widened slightly in surprise. She would do anything to be with him, but what about Seto? Did he mean to take her from him? She didn't mind, but how he planned to do that, scared her.
…………………………………….
Mai's and Jou's jaws still hung on the floor.
"I think I win our bet." Jou was first to recover.
Mai just kept looking on in shock.
'Now that was interesting.'
…………………………………
Atem grabbed the wallet off the counter and handed it Anzu.
"You better get back with this." He instructed while handing it to her.
"I guess so." She answered with a bit of disappointment.
"We'll have to set up a rendezvous together, eh?" he gave her a wink with it.
She gave him a smile and nod before answering,
"Well good sir, are you implying that I should cheat?" she gave a small but sad smile.
"No, of course not, because I will be the one to win the game we play."
She didn't quite understand his plans still, but her mind kept drifting back to the kiss, and it didn't seem to matter.
She then turned and headed out the door back to her car that held her boyfriend.
She would never cheat and felt almost guilty for allowing that kiss, but it felt so right.
Anzu shook her head to clear her thoughts while nearing the Mercedes.
……………………………
Atem gave a sigh of contempt when out of the corner of his eye he spotted movement.
He walked behind the counter and pulled the closet door the rest of the way open, revealing two forms.
Mai and Jou's.
"Let me guess, you saw all of that, right?" Atem asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"Yes sir! And man I hope you know what you're doing cause' Kaiba is one of the most powerful guy's in the city!" Jou answered while standing to help Mai up.
"Don't you worry about that, Jou it will all work out in the end."
Oh, what a tangled web we weave.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Whew! That's all you're going to get out of me today. That took a day to write, and you finally got 'the kiss'
So romance has been planted and the situation is a bit more complicated to say the least.
But whatAtem's going to do and how Seto will react, is something you will find in good time!
4 reviews would be nice for this chapter! I know you got something to say about the moment!
Please and thank you!
Love,
