Okay people. This is chapter 3. Bit short, but R&R!

"Hey Anzu." Jonouchi said. Anzu turned to him in surprise. "We were looking for you."
"What for?" Anzu asked.
"To meet the Pharaoh. So…here he is!" He indicated to Yami beside him.
"Who? Him?" Anzu said, surprised, looking at Yami, but keeping her eyes averted from his.
Jonouchi snickered. "No, me…of course him. No one else around here, is there? So…Yami, this is Anzu. Anzu, this is the Pharaoh, or 'Yami', as he prefers."
Yami nodded to her politely, smiling slightly. "Jou," he said, turning to him, "I have already met Anzu."
Jonouchi blinked. "You did? When?"
"Earlier this evening." Yami said, glancing at Anzu.
"Why didn't you say so, Anzu. Or you, Yami." He said, frowning at them.
"Well, I didn't know who I was meeting." Yami said, laughing a bit.
"I…I didn't know he was the Pharaoh…" Anzu said dazedly, not looking at either of them.
"Yeah, I might've forgotten to tell her…" Yami said.
Jonouchi looked at Yami strangely, but kept his mouth shut. He glanced at Anzu, noting that she looked uncomfortable, and was not looking at either of them. Jonouchi got the feeling she was avoiding looking at the Pharaoh, for reasons unknown…but not unknown for long.
"What's wrong, Anzu?" Jonouchi asked curiously. He seemed to snap her out of a trance, and she looked at him, before shaking her head vigorously.
"No, nothing is wrong…" Anzu said, a little too quickly, she was aware, and now they were both looking at her worriedly. But she didn't really care, as she was still deep in thought about the news of Yami being Pharaoh. She was mostly surprised at his actions earlier, his kiss. She had no idea why he, a Pharaoh, would kiss her, a mere priestess, of all people. He no doubt had everything he desired, and she knew that she wasn't anything like the beauties he was no doubt used to, so why was he attracted to her? Or was it one of Jonouchi's tricks? She wouldn't put it past him; he sometimes had a sick sense of humor.
"Anzu…?" She heard Yami say.
"I'm fine, I just think I will retire for now. I'm tired." She said quickly. She needed time to think.
"Uh…okay, Anzu…" Jonouchi said uncertainly. "'Nite"
"Good night…" Anzu said, walking down the garden path towards her chamber.
