I am back and here to update. YEAH FOR THOSE WHO REVIEW AND LIKE THIS STORY/ throws confetti/ hip hip hooray! And now on with the story…

Where we left off Anzu has just received Shizukas number.

I stare at the number. Why has Mokuba given me Shizukas number? Weren't Jounouchi and Kaiba sworn enemies? I didn't know what was what anymore or for a matter of fact who was who so I decided to dial the number anyway and wait what would happen.

It kept ringing and ringing but finally I heard a friendly voice

"Konichiwa Shizuka speaking."

" Konichiwa Shizuka, it is Anzu." I could hear squeals of delight over the phone. She told me to met her at the nearest coffee house which was down the street from Kaiba Corp. I agreed and started to make my way out of the building and into the brilliant sunshine.

I arrived first so I sat down by the window and ordered a coffee. I started to sip the coffee and gaze out the window when I noticed a women hurrying along. The woman was carrying multiple shopping bags and was busy chatting away on a cell phone. She wore a pink tank top and white skirt with a white sweater. She wore heels that I knew I could never walk in. I started to sigh as the woman made her way towards the coffee house. I disliked people who were always so prissy and spoiled rotten but as she edged closer, I noticed that it was Shizuka.

I spit out my scolding coffee and waved to her and she smiled, closed up her cell phone and bustled over to where I was sitting. She exclaimed "WOW Anzu, you changed so much."

"nuh uh, you did Shizuka. Where did you get all this money?" I said pointing to her shopping bags and the cell phone now in her bag. She looked strangely at me but then realized that I would have no idea. She plopped herself in a seat next to me and said "Didn't you know? I have a boyfriend."

"Who Otogi( sorry for spelling this wrong (DUKE))? Honda( Tristan)?"

"Nope not even close. Seto."

I snorted coffee out of my nose. "I am so sorry but Kaiba, seriously?"

"ahh Anzu you sound like brother. He is really sweet when you get to know him."

I looked at her and thought maybe she was kidding and it could be quite possible because she said sweet and Kaiba in the same sentence. She however thought that I had not believed her so she shined a beautiful sapphire crescent moon in my eyes.

"He loves me."

"but Shizuka, money can't buy happiness." I answered thinking she was going down the wrong path.

She looked at though she was going to cry. Once again she shoved something under my nose. This time it was a picture of her and Kaiba actually smiling.

"see." She said trying to prove her point.

I said "He does love Shizuka because you made him smile which is a very hard thing to do."

She smiled, feeling accomplished. We started talking about what has been happening. I told her about the company I danced at and told her how Domino and New York compared to one another. She talked of how Mai and Jou were doing and how she spent her day with Seto. She did seem quite happy. I finally sat my glass down and asked "Why she didn't come to dinner last night?"

She frowned at this. "I had pizza with Mokuba last night and played video games with him because Kaiba was working late last night. Why were we supposed to do something?"

"uh..huh.. The dinner at CHI CHI at 7'o clock. Remember Yugi told you guys about it."

"umm.. I don't know what to say." She was twiddling her thumbs as though she was going to say something but I butted in "Why don't we visit Jou and Mai?"

She nodded a small nod and we headed to the nearest subway.

When we reached the house, I had realized that Shizuka has remained very quiet. I asked if this was it and she said a very quiet uh huh. I rang the door bell and stood waiting. Finally the door opened and I stood face to face with Katsuya Jonouchi. His hair remained the same dirty brown color but his eyes seemed very sad and awkward. He wore a black blazer with a men white shirt underneath the blazer. A pair of slacks and some socks were also part of his outfit.

"allo, My I help you?" He didn't seem to recognize me like everyone else but he did however notice Shizuka "oh hey sis! I didn't see you there beyond this lady. Anyway who is this?

"This is Anzu" She said as she pushed me forward. He smiled shly and wrapped his arms around me. "Good to see you." His voice sounded so odd, it sounded old. He seemed so different from the Jou 5 years ago. He welcomed us in. As soon as he ushered us to the living room I heard a distant voice call out "hun, who is it?"

"It's sis and Anzu."

"Anzu, hold on I will be right there."

A woman walked out with a beautiful figure which never seemed to change. She had long golden locks and beautiful shimmering pair of amethyst eyes. She seemed to be carrying a armload of clothes but dropped them on a nearby chair to give me a hug. I saw she was wearing jeans and tank top. Very casual for Mai. She told us to sit down and relax while she would grab some tea. I didn't even bother telling her we just had coffee and just decided to be a good guest.

I stared around. The home seemed to very cozy and have that homey touch. The mantle contained numerous pictures. Their wedding picture was situated right in the middle.

I smiled, these were the two lovebirds I knew not these two people sitting in front of me. As we sipped our tea, I brought up the famous question of the day. "How come you weren't at dinner last night?"

"huh" Jou said looking quite perplexed. Mai butted in and said " umm.. sweetie, We went out for a nice quiet dinner with no one else, just the two of us. Did we have plans?"

"YES." I thought why was everyone forgetting. It is not that hard to forget a dinner date, right?

"Remember Chi Chi ( I sounded like a broken record) at 7'o clock

. Remember Yugi told you guys a week or so ago."

&&&CRASH&&&

Jou who has nervously been drinking his tea, now lay on the floor in millions of pieces and Jou stared sadly at the floor. He mumbled that he would fetch some paper towels and Shizuka said she would help. I didn't get what had just happened and Mai seemed to think so.

"hun look at me. I am sorry we weren't at the dinner last night. I guess we just forgot on top of everything."

"What do you mean on top of everything?"

"Don't you know Anzu? Yugi died 3 days ago in awful fire. Anzu.. you there?
