HIGH UP IN THE SKY

Author's Note:

I'm back again! Yes, alive and completely healthy. Feel bad because of that? Or do you feel good? Not my business. I'm here to give you another chapter of HUITS (High Up in the Sky)!

Oh yeah, for that guessing game, sorry for you who didn't guess it right! Just see the truth in this chapter!

Disclaimer:

Celon "Today, I present you the mighty King of Games, the well-known Pharaoh, our beloved duelist, and my favorite character forever in Yu-Gi-Oh, Atemu!"

Atemu "There's no need to make it like that, you know."

Celon "I will ignore that. So, Atemu, is it true that you have a crush on Anzu?" (grinning devilishly)

Atemu (blushing cutely, yet also openly) "WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE! I MEAN…"

Celon "D-E-N-I-A-L. Oh, forget it. I don't own YGO, readers, or else Atemu is going to live forever and ever happily with Anzu or perhaps they will be separated cruelly forever! It depends on how my mood is when I write the ending! Not like it's gonna happen…" (cries)

CHAPTER 4: DEAR COUSIN

Anzu was not in the mood for panicking and worrying about her life, yet unfortunately, once again Ra chose not be on her side. Atemu was far stronger than what he seemed to be, and his grasps on Anzu's wrist were firm yet gentle. For a passing moment, Anzu wished that she could know the young prince better. His eyes were the deepest she had ever since, yet they hid something beneath them. She longed to know, yet she was too afraid. 'A coward I am, and let it be like that,' she once told herself.

"Anzu…," the prince whispered hoarsely. "Do you know that you're…?"

Atemu could feel his heart beating hard against his ribcage that he wouldn't wonder if Anzu had heard it too. He knew his cheeks were flushing red, yet he did not care, he simply couldn't. The girl beneath him was breathing hard, as if wondering what was going to come. He knew she was afraid, yet also curious.

All he wanted to do was to sweep low and…

'For Ra's sake!' he yelped inwardly. 'Where did it come from!'

Shaking his head forcefully, he began his mission: tickling a certain girl named Anzu.

Anzu was very ticklish, or should I say: extremely ticklish?

And that was the biggest problem she was facing. Atemu proved himself not to be an amateur in tickling somebody either. He knew all those ticklish spots, and he practiced all of them on this poor little girl. It seemed that he had his mind truly set and he was not going to be soft.

Anzu could hardly breathe, for she was laughing and squirming under Atemu's expert fingers. The boy seemed to enjoy himself, with a grin plastered on his lips and occasional chuckles as he continued tickling her mercilessly. Beneath the laughs, a part of her still managed to crave for more touch from those fingers, and however hard she tried to deny it, she loved feeling Atemu's closeness to her. 'I'm sure I have gone crazy,' she thought helplessly as Atemu sent her laughing again by another series of tickles on the waist.

"Atemu! I don't know you are that interested in girls before!"

The exclamation sent the two teen's head snapping toward the entrance to the small garden. There, leaning casually on the wall of the maze and grinning boyishly, stood a boy with the same near-to-impossible spiky hair as Atemu, although he didn't have the golden streaks and only his bangs were golden. He had violet orbs instead of crimson, and his eyes were huge and childish. His skin was a few shades paler than Atemu's and he was definitely shorter and, somewhat, younger.

Atemu got up, or, to put it better, literally jumped up from Anzu, making a distance between the still-lying girl and himself. Anzu got up, although more slowly than the Egyptian prince. "Yugi!" exclaimed Atemu, cheeks slightly tinged with a faint pink.

The boy he called Yugi made a face and said, "I can see that I'm disturbing you two."

"NOT AT ALL!" the two teens immediately replied, somewhat nervous with D-E-N-I-A-L written clearly across their faces.

"It's written all over your faces, you know," Yugi pointed, his grin turning into a more devilish one.

"What's written all over our faces?" Atemu asked curiously, his cool attitude dropping without him knowing.

For a second, Anzu chuckled inwardly. Somehow, Atemu's confused face looked cute to her, and she swore that she wouldn't forget that scene forever.

Yugi sighed deeply in fake exhaustion and yelled at the still baffled Atemu, "DENIAL! D-E-N-I-A-L! Make me repeat it again!"

"Repeat it again," Atemu immediately said, with amusement showing clearly in his tone and expression.

"I won't," Yugi said, half-fuming.

"But you told me to tell you so."

This time, Anzu could not contain herself any longer. She laughed softly at the two boys, and they averted their gaze at her without waiting and said in confusion, "What?"

"You…," Anzu choked, stumbling over her words. "You two are really alike! And not only look alike!"

Atemu stared at Anzu as if the girl had gone insane or what. "Of course we are! " he said, frowning slightly. "He is my cousin, Yugi Mutou, for Ra's sake!"

Anzu froze on her spot. 'Ra, help me! I've embarrassed myself in front of two royalties in less than an hour more than what I've done in my sixteen years of life!'

For the umpteenth time that day, she found Ra not to be on her side.

TO BE CONTINUED TO CHAPTER 5
