Dreams Made Flesh

((start chapter))
Chapter 3Mazaki Anzu stepped out of Domino Airs, lugging her bag around, looking for a cab to get in. The thing was, her eyes were blood-shot and had bags under her eyes for not falling asleep on the airplane. The reason being was that she didn't want to fall asleep and have another one of those dreams that have been plaguing her nights and having to be rudely awakened by one of the staff on the airplane for… disturbing noises she would make.
One time she felt her eyes drooping down but unconsciously slammed her head against the wall next to the window she sat by, causing quite a stir and having to apologize numerous times to the staff for making such a loud noise in the middle of the night… and in a plane. So she had a faint bruise on her forehead the rest of the trip and right now. Some people that she was crazy and kept their distance.
Except for a damn lecher. Brushed one hand past her bottom while she was going to the bathroom, and she immediately went alarmed and slapped him, causing another stir and was told to sit quietly or they would hold her until they got back to the next air station.
'Damn bastard… Self-defense is not a crime…' she thought when she just continued to sit on her seat after her bathroom break.
But something stopped her after the whole incident. Anzu thought she saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring intently at her before it disappeared as another one of the staff told her to sit down, annoyed at her current actions on the air plane.
'Funny… I could've sworn I saw…' she shook her head, sitting down and staring out at the window. 'No… don't think that… he can never come back, how many times do I keep telling myself?'
Ending the flashbacks, the brunette finally caught a cab and told the driver to go to her apartment she currently stayed in. She groaned, she'd have to stay awake for just a little longer, just a small, tinny, little longer before she could finally enter the land of dreams. She closed one eye.
This was so hard to do.
((scene change))
He stood a few feet away from her, watching her look for a cab. He chuckled at her attempts to get the attention of a cabbie, but in several attempts, failed. It was a good thing he had Rishid hurry to the air station and catch the airplane bound for Domino City, the airplane she just happened to take.
He would've made a shout of joy when he found out she was on the same airplane as he. But it was stomped down as he found it was not the place, nor the time to have his plans set into motion, as much as he didn't want to restrain himself from her.
A small smile curved up Atem's lips as he recalled the actions Anzu took while she was on the airplane. He had to put a fist in his mouth to stop his laugh from emerging from his throat and has her find him so soon. It was just too funny! Oh, Anzu, he thought amusingly at the time when he saw her bang her head to keep herself awake, you know those dreams will haunt you till I have you.
But that ended when his keen eyes saw what that stranger did. He narrowed his eyes dangerously when he saw that man touch what was his. He felt ready to jump from his seat and Mind Crush the foolish bastard for his action, but he resisted the urge to do so. He couldn't make himself seen yet, or what the staff on the airplane said to Anzu, they would charge against her. He let out a growl at them, but let himself simmer down, casting a longing gaze at Anzu before turning away.
But then a cruel smile replaced the one on his face as he recalled what just previously happened before he got out. Mind Crushing the fool was sweet bliss on his part when he finally led the guy to a corner. Stupid bastard of a fool, he thought.
'Never touch what is mine… I won't allow it!'
But now that Atem was only a few steps away from her, his body was fighting against his plans to wait and wanted to go to her right now and grab her, pull her close, feel her body he so longed to feel against his. Maybe just a brush of her hair would do, and slink away quickly before she noticed the phantom like touch. Just a simple touch, that was all to just relieve his body from doing something drastic…
'Too late…' he thought, grinding his teeth, a low growl emitting from his throat that made a few passersby look at him fearfully as his crimson eyes followed her to a cab she finally caught and went in, speeding away from his touch.
Atem cursed viciously that children nearby had their mother's closing their ears and glaring at him, but he didn't care. He curled his hand tightly into a fist, his short fingernails digging into his skin, so tightly that a little bit of blood flowed out. So close, and yet he let it slip away from his fingertips…
Rubbing his temples as he walked near the street, she was slowly torturing him, like the dreams she were having were torturing her. He easily called a cab with a sharp whistle and packing the small bag the Ishtars lent him with spare clothing (mostly from Malik and some from Rishid) in the back before going in. It took him a while for him to choose where to go. Either follow Anzu or would he go to…
A smirk appeared on his face as he said his destination and the car drove off. Just a small visit to him, just to make his appearance known to another familiar face, maybe another friend after that as well. Atem's thoughts went back to the brunette he let slip of. An innocent temptress, seductress, that's what she was, at least what he thought of her. Maybe an angel, a fallen angel who unknowingly was wanted, desired, lusted by an outcast demon and made an effort to torture that demon to his knees. Who knew that denying something they actually wanted would take a toll on that person, he mused. But then again, it was his fault for at least not making an action to make his feelings solidify what they could've had… what they should've had.
'Little angel… Fallen angel… Innocent temptress; whatever she is, she still will be mine…' Atem thought with a possessive edge that went unnoticed by his soft, dark laugh.
((scene change))
Kaiba Seto leafed through the files he held before sighing and letting them fall on the mahogany-colored desk. Raking a hand through his chestnut-colored hair, one would notice the stressed out look he had on his face as he contemplated what to do right now about the current project at hand.
The project? Building a school where Duel Monsters was taught to youngsters (AN1), ranked only if they were in Ra, Osiris, or Obelisk. But it was still being steadily planned, but unfortunately, things were going rather slow.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by faint shouts of protest behind his office door. He let out a soft growl. As one should know, crossing paths with him while he was very busy was a rather unwise decision.
'Whoever this guy is, I'll make sure he'll know how to act before coming and storming into my—'
The office doors burst open.
Seto's narrowed cobalt blue eyes slowly widen as each second passed as he stared at the figure that stood at the doorway with a familiar looking smirk and familiar-looking crimson eyes that stared amusingly at him.
'This couldn't be… H-He couldn't be… just standing there…' he thought, baffled by what he was seeing.
Atem smirked, pleased to see the usually calm CEO of Kaiba Corp. looking so bewildered. He spoke, "Surprised to see me, Kaiba?"
All Seto did was continue to stare at him, that same surprised expression before he finally crashed back to Earth. He stood up from his leather seat just as his secretary came in looking flustered.
"I'm sorry, sir. But he wouldn't listen to a word I was saying—"
"That's enough," Seto cut in curtly. "He's… He's actually… an old friend I haven't seen in a long while. You may go."
His secretary looked at him for a few moments before she left, giving Atem a sort of a weird look before she closed the door behind her.
Seto stared Atem before he calmly sat back down on the leather chair with a sigh, eyeing the ex-pharaoh warily.
"You…" he breathed slowly. "You… why are you here? … You should've been in the realm of the dead…! We… all of us saw you being defeated by Yugi!"
That same smirk appeared on his face. "Yes, you are were there… Watching Yugi and I duel. Watched me lose to him… And me having to leave you all… Leave…" he trailed off, before shaking his head. "Well, it's been a while, hasn't it, Kaiba?"
'Something's up with him… He seems different than before… Why is that?' the male brunette thought in his head.
Shaking his head, Seto narrowed his eyes at him before replying, "Yeah… But what are you doing back here? Explain to me!"
"Humph…! First thing's first, Kaiba. You tell me what's been going on these past two years, hmm?" Atem questioned, with predatory steps, he walked towards Seto.
((scene change))
She paid the cabbie a wad of bills before the car drove off. Slowly walking up the stairs to her apartments, Anzu fished for the keys in one of her pockets and slipping it in the lock. Opening the door, she walked in; dropping the bags she carried while doing so, plopping down on the couch in the middle of the living room.
The brunette moaned, the sound muffled as she had her face pressed against the fabric of the couch. She was too sleepy; too tired to keep her eyes open about half way.
'But if I fall asleep… I know I'll get those strange dreams I keep on having these past few nights… No matter how hard I try to think about something else I… I…'
No matter how hard she tried to fight off the sleepiness, it took her as its own.
((scene change))
A soft, phantom touch of lips against her own, registered upon her senses. She snapped her eyes open and gasped, staring back at a pair of crimson-colored eyes.
She felt like moving away, turning away from his gaze so that she wouldn't get trapped, but her body refused to listen, watching him slowly walk with predatory speed towards her, his hands tucked in his pockets.
He was only a few steps away from her, his gaze never leaving her, haunting her until his eyes and face was the only thing she'll ever see, ever think of. She slowly became aware of herself gliding slowly towards him, her body wanting contact with his, her mind feeling light and dizzy.
'He shouldn't be here… This is just a dream… Only a dream…' she thought lazily in her head once she was in his arms, resting her head on his hard chest.
She gasped when he felt a phantom touch of a fingertip caress her spine, when she strangely still felt his arms around her waist. It continued down before it began the process all over again, making her shiver with delight, wanting, craving to feel his real fingertips running down her spine.
'This shouldn't be happening…' her mind was still fighting against her desires but was losing the battle fast.
"Why shouldn't it happen, little angel?" she gasped softly. That voice, that deep, familiar voice that held a sensual feeling washing over her every time he spoke to her in these dreams. Every time he would tease her and coax her into something she never felt before.
"I… You shouldn't…" she was silenced by his lips pressing against hers, snaking his tongue into the recesses of her mouth. She unexpectedly let out a moan at the soft invasion, her feelings becoming clear to her in just that one kiss.
He tore his lips away from hers, moving to her ear, "Dreams made flesh, little fallen angel… Just you wait." He whispered, his hot breath washing over her, softly nipping the lobe of her ear.
She closed her eyes; unable to fight off the pleasure she was feeling now. But his words echoed in her mind, his voice a soft thunder to her ears.
'Dreams made flesh…' She paused in a moment of thinking…'…. Atem…?'
((scene change))
Anzu snapped her eyes open, immediately aware that she was lying down on the floor. She sat up on her hands, realizing that she must've rolled off the bed while sleeping. She raised one of her hands, faintly feeling his lips on her skin. She shivered, hugging herself for comfort.
'I just need… a cold shower…' she thought in her head.
((scene change))
Atem perked his head towards another direction, cutting Seto off from his explanations. He listened for anything, that faint call in his mind. He heard nothing, then he slowly turned back to the president of Kaiba Corp. with a glazed look.
'A dream… She must've been having one of those dreams… Or am I just wrong…?' he thought to himself.
"Atem?" Seto called him back to Earth, snapping his attentions back to him. "Something wrong?"
A few moments of silence passed by before Atem slowly shook his head until the door to Seto's office opened. He turned his head and was surprised to see whom it was.
"… Shizuka?" he asked.
((end chapter))
Well, sorry that that might've been short. I'm kind of busy preparing for other things. But don't worry, after tomorrow will be the start of my winter break, so prepare for some fast updates (I hope!)! If you want the next chapter, click on that button down there and tell me what you think of this chapter. Again, sorry for the delay in updating this story.
These are not part of story. Just notes.
AN1: Yeah, since they started that new YGO GX series thing, I think that should be starting now. I still think YGO shouldn't done something like a new cast and a new storyline. Where's Anzu, dammit! TT (shrugs) But oh well, that's just me.
