Friends Do Friends Favors

The sunlight trailed into the curtains into Seto Kaiba's room, its soft light hit the bed in which Seto and Anzu lay in. They were friends, a odd type, but none the less still friends. More likely they were best friends, but that still comes under the friend category. Kaiba awoke first yawning and stretching, he stood up and opened the curtains fully letting in a large amount of sun onto Anzu's face. Kaiba walked over to her side, still in boxers, and noticed her face was a dark shade of red. He put a hand on her cheek and felt it overheating, 'she must be sick, no wonder she was shivering last night.'

Anzu opened her eyes and began to cough, she felt horrible. The first thing she saw were Seto's concerned eyes on her, he put a hand on her forehead and told her to stay where she was. Seto ran downstairs to get some medicine and wet straps of towels to cool her off. Running back upstairs Seto had a tray in his hands that had two bottles of medicine some pieces of cloth, ice cold water, and a glass of drinking water. He went into her room where Anzu was sitting up on his bed sneezing and coughing, and wondered how she had gotten sick. Then it hit her, Mokuba had been sick last week with the flu, and she was the one taking care of him!

"Anzu drink this cough syrup." He stuck out a spoon that had a form of yucky syrup in it. Anzu closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue, she HATED MEDICINE! "Anzu drink it!" Kaiba was giving demands, just like him. "Anzu you have a stain on your shirt." Anzu looked at her shirt and opened her mouth as though saying 'huh?' and Kaiba took this change to shove the medicine into her mouth. With no choice she was forced to gulp it down, and made a face. She reached for the glass of water and drank it to take the yucky taste away.

"I'm not sick! What are you doing?" Anzu always denied being sick because she hating having to stay in bed. "Where going to get late for school its already seven and school starts in twenty minutes!"

"Correction, I'm going to be late for school not you, your staying in bed. And I'll stay home from school if you need me to take care of you." Seto was such a big brother to her that she didn't notice how other people thought of him. Everyone else in the world knew Seto Kaiba as the big man CEO of Kaiba Corp who was cruel and heartless, no one took the time to get to know the real him. Anzu knew that it had taken her a year before Seto really opened up to her, because last year he was still fighting with her and calling her Mazaki.

The rest of the day went by fast, Anzu slept in bed while Seto went to school, she wouldn't let him stay home for her because she felt bad for everything she had made him do. Random questions started to pop up into her head about her and Seto. When did she finally get Seto to be this open with her and so kind to her?

It was Anzu's seventieth birthday she had invited Yugi, Joey, Tristian, Serenity, Mia, Duke, and the Kaiba brothers. All of them showed up to her party giving her hugs and kisses, Kaiba and Mokuba came last. When they came Kaiba coldly said to her that he was only here because of his younger brother so she shouldn't get too happy he showed up. Mokuba was always kind and wonderful, he was everyone's friend unlike his older brother. During the whole party Kaiba sat in the corner reading a book, while everyone had fun laughing and playing. Anzu was telling Mokuba about how she was adopted by her parents and the people she remembered from before she was adopted. She told him that she knew a cute little boy with ice blue eyes and his younger brother. She said how they were adopted before she was and she really wanted to meet them again someday. She said the only thing she remembered about them was a locket the boy with ice blue eyes gave her, she told Mokuba that she always wore it to represent that she still cared about them.

Kaiba seemed to have been listening to the whole story and seemed uninterested, even though he remembered something. After everyone left only Mokuba and Kaiba were left, Kaiba asked her what she wanted for her birthday.

"Nothing, I'm happy you came, that's all"

"I heard your story about the boy with the ice blue eyes, could I see your locket you were taking about?" Anzu handed it over to him, "Have you ever looked inside of the locket?"

Anzu shook her head.

"I didn't know you could open it." Opening it carefully he showed her what was inside of it, it had the words "Seto+Anzu forever" "That..that was you and Mokuba" Tears flowed out of her eyes, "I've wanted to meet the boys who loved me when I was little. You guys helped me through so much when I was all alone, I'm so happy I know its you." Anzu grabbed both brothers into a tight hug with tears flowing down her cheeks, Mokuba was too young to have remembered anything, but Kaiba remembered how Anzu and him had loved each other when they were young.

"Kaiba I have one request for my birthday present, call me by my first name, not Mazaki anymore, Anzu. And maybe you can let me call you Seto?" Anzu didn't like the way she always had to call him Kaiba, and the way he called her Mazaki. Kaiba gave a nod and said happy birthday and left.

Anzu loved her seventieth birthday because that was when Seto finally had opened up to her. She didn't remember much from when she was young, but the one thing she recalled was her and Seto playing together with Mokuba.

Seto came home from school and decided to go and check on Anzu, he had hoped she was feeling better, because today was a special day for the both of them. Walking into his room he found her sitting on his desk in his shorts and his tee shirt. She was staring out of the window, her hair was put into a perfect ponytail and her legs crossed.

"Anzu how are you feeling?" Anzu snapped back to reality and looked at Kaiba, she stood and yawned, sitting all day at Seto's home made her feel tired.

"I feel a hundred percent better! Mokuba is at his friend's house for a sleepover." That was just like Anzu taking care of Mokuba and always helping him out.

"And why may I ask are you in my clothes?" Anzu smiled and went to hug Seto and whispered into his ear.

"Because it reminds me of you." Those words sent chills down his spine as though there was more meaning in those words, as though…she almost had deep feeling for him. Seto kissed Anzu on the head and handed her a bag. "What's in the bag?"

"Open it and change into it. I'll be in the living room." Kaiba left the room leaving Anzu with a confused look and a bag in her hand. She opened the bag to find the most beautiful dress she had ever seen, it was made of pure white silk and had blue threading on the ruffles that were around its neck. The dress went down to her feet and showed her nice upper body curves around the waste and bust. Along with the dress there was a blue sapphire necklace, more like a chocker, and when she put it on it hung around the lower part of her throat and a single heart shaped sapphire hung from the middle. The chocker was made of little sapphire's connected together with a pearl in between every three sapphires stones. Anzu changed into it and gasped, the dress was amazing, when she looked into the bag again she saw a pair of white shoes, they were in the style of ballet shoes except without the lacing around the ankles.

In the bag was a note saying, "My best friend Anzu, I'd give the world for you, today is a special day that we must celebrate." Anzu furrowed her eyebrows in confusing 'special day?' She went into the bathroom and set her hair so that it was in a bun except two traces of hair hanging down from each side of her face. Anzu stepped down the steps carefully to Seto to understand what the whole deal was about. She walked into the living room to see a fully dressed Seto Kaiba in a black tux. He looked wonderful his hair was left naturally and his hair looked soft and gentle.

Seto looked at Anzu, she was an angel to him, her hair was perfect, her body was perfect, the dress was perfect, her shoes was perfect. Anzu went in front of him and looked into his eyes, she wanted to know what this was all about.

"Seto what is this all about?"

"Anzu Mazaki today is the day that we became friends." Anzu gasped, she couldn't believe that she had forgotten today was that faithful day that they had made a promise to become friends.

"Can we be friends?" Anzu asked. Kaiba looked into her eyes, he could tell she didn't want to be his friend to get his money or fame, she wanted to be his friend for who he was inside. He slightly nodded to her. Sticking out her pinky out to him she asked, "Promise?" Taking his pinky finger and connected it to hers he smiled.

"Promise." (Note this scene is from Blooming of a Friendship of my other story that connects to this one)

Anzu smiled and gave Seto a hug whispering into his ear, "I remember that day." Seto smiled and nodded in agreement.

"What's the deal with you and hugs Anzu?" Kaiba asked as Anzu grinned.

"They make me feel secure." It was Kaiba's turn to grin.

"Who needs hugs when they have me with them?" Anzu laughed it was true Kaiba made her feel as secure as she could get.

"So, Seto why'd you get me all dressed up?" Kaiba started messing around with his hair.

"There's this Ball that other companies want me to attend and I needed a person to go with me, so I thought why not bring Anzu?" Kaiba hadn't asked Anzu if she wanted to go, he wasn't sure if she wanted to go or not.

"Hm…I don't know if I want to go with you." Anzu made a face, but then Anzu began to smile, "But friends do favors for friends so why not?" Taking Kaiba's hand she pulled him toward the door.
