YEAH FOR REVIEW and my new reviewer ! Yeah so I will continue on for a nice chapter awaited!


So Anzu I am really excited for that dinner. I can't wait. I marked it down on the calendar just to make sure I don't forget.

Aww how sweet Yugi! I can't wait either. Well until we meet again

Wait Anzu I have to ask you something?

What?

Do you like me as a friend or something more?

I like you as a friend but at times I like you as something more.

Oh ok, hey Anzu thanks for being my friend I will talk to you soon.

I wake up from my bed, my face sweating, my tears streaming. That was our last phone call which lasted so long. I wish I could have seen his face one last time so awake with laughter and light. I pace around my room, frightened of what is to come. I am so saddened not to know if something more would have happened between us but alas I will never know.

I hear a knocking on my door. I look at the clock it said 5:30 and I stared thinking why was someone knocking on my door but then I remembered this was my wake up call for my 7:30 flight. I said thank you and carried on my way.

I was sick and tired of everything about Domino. I just didn't care any more. As I threw all my belongings in my suitcase I screamed.

I screamed my heart out, my soul out. I just didn't want this pain anymore so with a snap of my suitcase I was ready to go.

As I sat in my seat waiting for the plane to take off, the woman next to me was busy blabbering to me like she knew me or something. Lady you don't even know me. When the Capitan said the plane was ready to take flight I smiled and the woman looked at me.

"Why do you smile so happily?"

Suddenly my smile changed and I said bluntly "This is a place which I will be happy to forget" and with that I placed my headphones on my ears and get pulled away into the music.

I started to fall into a dream sleep. As I turned my head Yugi sat next to me staring into space. His violet eyes stared into space, they were glassy and unfocused. Something was wrong and I couldn't talk to him. I couldn't get him to even look at me. I tried to speak to him but no expression was shown. I shook him, screaming at him and then suddenly I felt a shake on my arm. I jumped and awoke to the face of the irritating woman who seemed to have a worried look on her face.

"You were screaming and pleading, are you all right?"

I took a gulp of water from the bottle in my bag and kept looking at the seat as though he was still there "Yes, fine bad dream."

"We could talk this over, it's a long flight." Why was this woman being my psychiatrist? No but why was she asking me thoughtful questions and of course in my mind I said she is being thoughtful just like I was in those dueling days.

I took a depth breath and said "Domino was my home town but things change."

"So that means people I guess"

"Yes…"

"What happened? Was there a parting of ways? Loss of a friend?"

"The second one I guess you could say."

" oh did that person have a falling out with you?"

I laughed " No we weren't dating if that's what you mean."

"Well the only thing I could think of is him dieing?"

I nodded and the woman gasped " I am right , oh I am so sorry. I am sure he lived a good life."

"Yes but a short one."

The woman leaned closer " How old would you say?"

"26 and he had good heart and a good mind. The innocent ones are never given a second chance. My poor friend."

"Shame it is, by the way my name is Marie." This was so strange , we having a depressing conversation and suddenly she decides to tell me her name, odd."

"Marie my name is Anzu."

"What a nice name. So about your friend, did you see his family?"

" No he doesn't have much of one. His ya-brother came down for a bit. They have no parents and there grandpa died a couple years back.

"His what? You started to say something with a y?"

"oh no sorry. I always confuse my languages. I speak Japanese, English and some parts of Egyptain. Sorry I used to travel a lot."

"Do you have a picture of that fellow?" I know this woman was being nosey but she was being polite and kind with me actually someone who cared.

I rummaged through my bag and found a photograph which was at the bottom of my bag. Yugi stood next to Atemu. They both were laughing hysterically. I couldn't remember why they were laughing.

"Who was it? They both look so similar. Are they twins?"

"I guess you could say so. This is Yugi, pointing to the shorter of the two and this is Atemu."

"Mutou?"

"What?" but then I recognized his last name and I knew what she meant. "Yes the King of Games was a dear friend of mine."

My fingers rubbed against the photograph. My finger rubber over his face once carefree now blank and empty and his spiky hair which just dropped and did not stand straight up. How I wish you would come back. Back to make all the better.

Marie looked at me. " I'm sorry I made you bring this person up. I heard how he died. So tragic really."

"Yes very. Dinner was meant to be full of laughs but it was just me, me and my empty glass."

"Anzu, why don't we leave it at that. I didn't mean for this to happen. I am always to friendly."

"Don't change Marie. Being friendly and humble is not a curse not a gift. I wish that could save you in the end, only simple things like that."

We left it at that. Marie stayed into space and myself left staring at the photo in my hands. Trying so hard to remember what made us laugh for that day, but I just couldn't.

Our flight landed and I said goodbye to my friend. She seemed to lessen my pain just for a while even at that. I grabbed my bag and I look around till I see my friend, Jeremy waving at me. Normally guy in his early twenties with sandy brown hair and emerald eyes.

"Hey Anzu! How did your flight go?"

"Fine."

"Let me help you with your luggage. The car is out front and oh yeah remember that new ballet show we have been working on starts in a couple of weeks, cool right?"

" yeah… cool."

"Hey I know you like a couple of seats for your friends so how many should I save."

"umm"

"How about one. That Yugi kid always comes."

"I guess so…" The name pained me but I didn't say anything

"So how did seeing your friends go?"

"Fine. I saw them all. They are all good." I lied I saw them all but that didn't mean they were happy.

"Great here is the car."

As I hopped in the car and he started to turn on the car on I decided that I wouldn't tell him about Yugi. It was better left not to be bothered and worried about. I would tell him eventually I hoped.


Jen and of course Review!
