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 6: "What Kind of Games?"
We are now going to move forward to personal questions. Like what did you do when you found out that your ex-twin sister is really the evil one and stole your fiancée!
"No, Eric! It is too soon!" the good sister wailed at her ex-fiancée.
"But my darling, you are good! Fight the bad!" Eric screamed.
"As long as you love my evil sister we may never be together for all eternity!" the good sister was crying now.
"That's right you good for nothing! He has come to the dark side with me now!" the evil sister magically popped out of nowhere, sneering at the other sister who was currently flopping around like a worm in water.
"Wait! Both of you! I had to wait so long to tell you, but..." Eric put a dramatic pause here,
"I am you're father!"
"NOOOOO!"
Anzu screamed at the T.V., throwing her bowl of popcorn across the room, which unfortunately pelted a nearby servant carrying the load of China dishes from kitchen to cabinet.
If you have ever heard expensive dishes clattering to the floor, you would know that the sound is HUGE, and would make anyone near believe an earthquake was near.
Luckily for Anzu the maids in the Kaiba mansion didn't think so.
Unfortuanetly old butler Norris had hearing problems, so when Anzu screamed out,
"Goodness me!"
It sounded an awful lot like,
"Earthquake!"
Anzu had sprung to her feet in a desperate attempt to save any dish, and make sure the poor woman was alright.
"Are you sure you are alright?" she questioned worriedly.
"Yes mam, I should have been more careful to watch for objects, my apologies miss for frightening you." The maid quickly bowed and left to fetch a broom and help.
'These people are too kind to me!' Anzu yelled in her head.
Suddenly she heard screaming in the hallway, and banging on doors.
'What in the seven regains of hell?'
When she stepped into the hallway next to the parlor where she had currently been, the sight before her almost made her cry with laughter.
………..
Seto had been going over important business documents for the new products, when he heard the sound of crashing and yelling.
Which order they went in he didn't know.
So standing up and straightening his trench coat, he marched through his study's doors and peered over the railing to the stairs.
He heard screaming and pounding coming form the east wing hallway, right next to the parlor.
He continued down the stairway quickly advancing to the area where the sound was coming from.
'From the way this person is screaming you would think they had seen ghosts or something!'
Ah, not exactly.
From out of no where old Norris came screaming behind him yelling about the sky falling and earth shattering, while swinging a frying pan madly hitting doors galore.
"Old man what do your think-"
Seto was cut because obviously Old Man Norris forgot his glasses again, and didn't see Seto standing in the middle of the way.
Norris smashed right into him, sending both of them flying to the front entrance of the parlor.
"Get off right now old-"
Norris had sat up, blinking wildly about, then turned to face Seto, who was attempting to throw his legs form his side.
"DEMON!" Norris yelled franticly.
"YOU MUST HAVE COME IN AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE!"
"WHAT THE HELL-"
"WE-DO-NOT-WANT-YOUR-PRESENCE! BE GONE!"
Norris cried while grabbing his frying pan again, attempting to exorcise Seto, by smacking him repeatedly on the head.
…………………
Anzu ran over to her supposed possessed boyfriend and called for help, trying to stop the butler from doing any real harm.
"I think he's doing better," the doctor explained exiting Seto's bedroom, "but I believe he will have some nasty bruises tomorrow, but non real damage was committed seeing that Mr. Norris did not have much strength."
Anzu nodded to him, and thanked him for coming by.
"Is it alright that I see him now?" she rung her hands worriedly.
"Of course." He smiled kindly to her and with a final curt bow left the mansion.
………………….
Anzu entered the room silently, not wanting to disturb him if he was sleeping by chance.
She strode over the plush carpeting to the lavishly decorated navy bed with mahogany bed posts. Upon looking at his face, Seto seemed fine, but she guessed his pride might hurt from being smashed in the head by an eighty year old man.
Uh, probably a little bit.
Anzu attentively sat on the side of the bed, and brushed a few stray locks of hair away from his face.
"I want him PUNISHED, then FIRED, then given lessons on how NOT TO USE COOKING ITEMS!" Seto roared sitting straight up, nearly knocking Anzu off.
"Look, I know you're mad at him, but truly it was my fault in the first place." She calmly explained while pushing on his chest to lay him back down.
"Yes, well something must be done." Was the snappy reply she got.
"I agree completely." She nodded in agreement.
"Right, so I want him to be-"
"No more snacks while watching very dramatic soap operas!" Anzu declared while raising her fist in the air like she had won a battle.
Seto gave her a dead panned look, clearly not amused.
"A soap opera?" he looked her right in the eye.
"My apologies," her face contorted into concentration, "I mean DAYTIME SOAPS THAT ARE VERY DRAMATIC!"
We may be here a while.
………………….
Mai had just finished helping a customer from behind the department store counter, becoming bored once again.
"What do you think of this one?"
Atem stepped out of the dressing room to the far left of the register for Mai to see.
"Well, I think it looks more like you are trying to say, 'I-think-you're-hot-and-that's-it' looks to it." She answered stepping to the side, putting a hand on her hip.
"You really think so?" Atem turned and walked back into the dressing rooms to examine more closely.
He had on a dark crimson all the way button up shirt with the long sleeves pushed half way up his arms and top few buttons missing, exposing his tan chest a bit. His cargo pants went past his knees with lots of pockets everywhere and looked faded and worn, with sandals adorning his feet.
He thought the shirt looked good, and Anzu would probably like it, so that made him want it. The pants were loose and comfortable, giving him a relaxed look.
He walked back out to the register.
"Are you sure?" he inquired with a quirked eyebrow.
Mai rolled her eyes slightly, "Look Atem, you don't hav ta' take my advice, I jus' give it."
He shrugged his shoulders slightly. She had a point; he never did have to take the information to heart.
Without even looking up from her magazine she had pulled out from beneath the counter, she casually asked,
"So how exactly again are your going to single handedly 'steal' Anzu from Seto?"
Atem looked thoughtful for a moment, and while back to the dressing room replied with the same casual voice,
"Charm, Wit, Seduction."
…………………….
Anzu had last left Seto to recover in his room, and was now lounging about the mansion.
She had a slightly guilty feeling in her stomach since the kiss with Atem.
Atem.
The mere thought made her sigh and look out into the oblivion and become misty eyed.
What was she to do? Seto was an okay boyfriend, a bit busy and sometimes controlling, but she put up with it. Why? She didn't know.
But lately she had noticed that he had been acting strange around her, not saying 'love' as a nick name or giving her a kiss every time they parted. And his cell phone had been ringing constantly……
Suddenly vibrance in her hip alerted her that her own cell phone was ringing.
Anzu whipped out the piece of wonderful technology, and answered hesitantly, her mood being slightly perturbed.
"Serenity?" she about yelled the name.
"Meet you where? Mall? Sounds fun, but I don't know if I should…" she drawled out.
She listened to Serenity ask why she wouldn't be able to, and told her about Seto's little 'incident.'
The way she reacted was different from what Anzu expected, she sounded very worried and upset, not laughing or making jokes about it like she thought would happen.
"Yes, he will be fine." She tried to clam her friend slightly.
"Still think I should go, huh?" Anzu asked timidly at first.
"Alright, you have convinced me, Ren'. Meet you in an hour. Chao." She snapped her phone shut and pocketed it quickly dashing off the couch to tell Seto her plans.
………………..
Anzu had made it up the stairs quietly, trying to surprise Seto, but as she gripped the handle and twisted it, opening the door, and waited to hear peaceful breathing reach her ears, she heard him on his pone!
'Who is he talking to?'
She cracked the double door cautiously, allowing her part of the conversation.
"No, really, everything is fine." She heard Seto speaking.
"I know, but it is just a bruise, everything will be fine."
He sounded as if he was trying to convince someone of something. But what? His injuries it sounded like, but no one else knew outside this house! Maybe an employee had found out or-
"Right, I'll see you soon, love always, I know. Goodbye." He finished the conversation with the snapping of his phone and settled back into the pillows.
'Love always?' Anzu was confused. She was going to find out who this person was, now.
Brushing off her face of anger, she replaced it with a sweet smile, and practically burst the door open.
"Anzu?" Seto sat straight up, a look of surprise across his lovely features, which right now she wanted to break.
"Sweetie, who were you talking to just now? I heard you say goodbye to someone..." she trailed off while moving over to his bed.
He watched her nearing him, and answered smoothly,
"Well, you know my good friend, Duke?" she nodded a yes.
"He had called to check up on some stalks and numbers, and I talked to his wife, which would be my sister." He finished the story and grabbed the pain killer medicine form the bedside table.
That never occurred to Anzu, she hadn't seen his sister in person, only in pictures.
Made sense to her.
"Well I hope everything is okay," she replied quickly then almost sounding as an after thought, "Hon' would it be alright if I left for awhile to shop with Serenity?"
She really didn't need his consent, she knew that much, but since she didn't want him worried, Anzu had asked.
He looked as though he was thinking it over, and answered her with a "Sure."
"Great, I'll be back later to check up on you." She gave him a kiss, and swore she had felt him tense up at her touch.
Shaking the idea off she headed for the finely polished doors, and before closing them added over her shoulder,
"Love always, hun'."
She never saw him cringe that graced his features.
……………..
Atem was sure bored with the mall now. How long was Mai's shift? He wouldn't even be here if not for Jou. He asked Atem if he would go to her work and wait till her shift was off so if Jou wasn't there, drive her home.
Well luck had it the next girl to take Mai's place was going to be late, so that left them stuck there.
'Jou may be here then, he did say he would try to meet us here after his class.'
Jou was taking an engineering class at the university on Saturday's for an hour only. The day he had it was bad, but what he was doing was great. At least Mai told him that, which made him want to go all the more for her to be proud.
Ah, the things you do for love.
"Have you noticed Mai, that not many people com in here?" Atem lazily pointed out as she had pulled out a folding metal chair and was looking through a magazine.
"Yeah, it isn't one of the more popular store in the mall, which could be good on a cashier, like moi." She replied.
Heaving a great sigh, Atem shifted in his chair that he had retrieved from the dressing room earlier.
But something caught his eye. A brown haired head and beautiful azure eyes could be seen along with an almost toffee colored head with big light olive green eyes walking into the department.
"I don't believe it." Atem shook his head to check they were real.
"What?" Mai looked up scanning the area for something exciting.
She spotted the two girls browsing the racks of clothes, chatting away about something. She recognized one of them as Anzu, but didn't know the other.
"Well, go talk to her!" Mai hissed at him while whacking him upside the head with her magazine.
"Hey!" he rubbed the spot where paper had met head.
"I'm going, I'm going!" He replied quickly standing and heading for the two unsuspecting customers.
…………………
Mai stood also, stretching her arms above her head, yawning in the process.
But before her arms were placed by her sides again, two arms wrapped around her waist and hot breath spoke near her ear,
"Need me to get any kinks out for ya'?" it drawled seductively.
Mai didn't even turn around, instead swung her elbows down as fast as she could, effectively knocking her stranger to the clothes rack behind them and to the floor.
She whirled around spouting out profanities at the attacker.
"You stupid, disgusting, son of a –"
The sight of Jou laying on the ground with a thong on his head and clutching his stomach,
repeating,
"Why Mai, why?" made her burst out laughing.
"That's what you get for sneaking up on me!" she yelled in half laugh, half anger in her voice.
Jou rasped out pathetically,
"Why me?"
………………………..
Anzu stood by a 50 off rack with Serenity telling her about her classes she took.
Personally, she was quite bored with the conversation, but smiled none the less to her friend, who didn't seem like she was going to stop any time soon.
'I wish I could see those wondrous fiery eyes again.'
Anzu stared off into space again for a moment, until the sound of a throat clearing brought her back to earth and out of the fire.
Blinking slowly, she realized Serenity was looking behind her and had a slight blush on her cheeks.
Anzu carefully turned around, only to be met with those liquid fire eyes boring into her own inquisitive ones.
"Fancy meeting you here and I must say it's an honor, fair maiden." That knowing smirk greeted her, sending chills down her spine yet sparked a fire in her soul.
Burn baby,
Burn.
………………………………………..
Whew. That was a long one. So what's going on with Seto? What's up with his attitude toward Anzu? Will Jou ever learn not to be stupid, or will he just find out that thongs don't go on peoples' heads? And what is Atem planning on accomplishing here?
I don't know, you tell me!
I hope you enjoyed that chapter, it was fun writing it, and don't worry, and next chappie will be full of wonderful AxA goodness!
Review for an Atem life size blow up doll! Whoo hooo! ( dances around with her own ) Limited supply people, so hurry!
