Dancing and Jealousy

Anzu pulled Kaiba outside with her hand and Kaiba followed, tonight was going to be perfect was all they could think. He would be with Anzu and they would have a wonderful time at the Ball, even though he usually disliked them so much. Anything with Anzu would make his day, since the day he met her he knew Anzu was something else.

As a gentleman he opened the door for Anzu , while he went to the other side of the car and opened the door and sat down next to her swiftly. Roland, Kaiba's driver and anything else Kaiba wanted him to be (Personal assistant, etc etc), drove the two of them in Kaiba's limo to their destination.

During the ride Anzu and Kaiba sat in their separate corners in the limo, neither saying anything. Even though friends they didn't have things to talk about off the top of their heads like most friends do. Today was a special day for both of them, it was the day that they had first become friends. At the moment Kaiba was thinking about the man he was going to meet to discuss about trading technology with and Anzu was thinking about Kaiba. She was thinking if Kaiba was ever going to go out with a girl, more like fall in love with one.

"Seto.." Kaiba changed his view from out the window to Anzu.

"Hmm?" Anzu wanted to ask him if he was ever going to go out with a girl, but decided that he would get the cold act up if she asked.

"Do you know how to dance?" That was the only question she could pull out of her head that had to do with the Ball tonight. The both of them needed to get into a conversation.

"Why don't you dance with me and find out?" Anzu stuck out her tongue teasing him.

"I wouldn't want to dance with you in a million years." Kaiba smirked as though saying 'we'll find out soon enough.'

Once at the Ball, Anzu stepped out the car and Kaiba took her arm and locked it into his arm. 'Such a gentleman' Anzu thought, Kaiba sure had evolved from Mr. Cold Hearted Bastard from two years ago. Walking into the room she saw a large dance floor and round tables around the dance floor. The room was gigantic and in a square shape, there were chandlers hanging from the high ceiling. Kaiba led Anzu to a table that had four seats, the table was empty. Anzu laughed in her head, just like Kaiba wanting to be isolated from everyone else. There were lots of people all around them, when they had walked in many of them had turned their heads to see Kaiba and her. Many of the younger women were giving her glares, probably since she was with him.

Not soon after they had sat down a man around his fifties and a guy who looked he was Anzu and Kaiba's age approached the table. The older man had white hair and was dressed in a suit with a tie, while the boy had black hair that reminded Anzu of Kaiba's hairstyle expect the boy had shorter hair then he did.

"Hello Mr. Kaiba, what a pleasure to meet you. May we sit down?" The old man spoke. Kaiba gave a slight nod keeping his face stern and businesslike. "Who is this fine young lady with you tonight?"

"This is Anzu Mazaki, a friend of mine." The man nodded and told them about his son, Alex Hiko. Alex was his son and the heir to his company Hiko industries, their company specialized in computer software. Alex was a year older than Anzu, even though she would be turning his age in the next few months meaning they were still in the same grade levels. Anzu looked at Alex, he had green eyes, and wonderful hair, and she thought he was cute and charming. The waiter came over to their table and asked what they wished for dinner. After placing their order Kaiba slightly grasped Anzu's hand under the table gesturing to dance. Anzu not wanting to ruin the night nodded.

"You give in so easily Anzu." Seto whispered into her ear as they got into dancing formation. Anzu placed one hand on Kaiba's shoulder and took her other hand and placed it with his hand. As they placed their hands together Kaiba noticed how soft and delicate Anzu's small hand was compared to his. Kaiba's free hand went to Anzu's waist line and they began to dance the waltz. The two danced for quite a while both keeping up with each other's pace of the dance. Anzu whispered, 'I'm impressed Seto' as they danced. Kaiba could smell Anzu's hair that smelled of wild flowers and he felt a strand of hair tickle his face. He couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Alex watched Kaiba and Anzu dance, he had taken a liking to Anzu and her good looks. The way the dress clung to her body the way she smiled and laughed, he wanted her. He walked up to them while they danced and tapped Kaiba on the shoulder.

"May I have this dance with the lady?" Kaiba felt a rush of jealousy in his blood, why should he give up his Anzu to this pretty boy? This boy had just ruined his and Anzu's moment. He would not let him touch Anzu, even though he didn't understand himself why he didn't want her to dance with anyone else expect for him. Maybe because he didn't like to share?

"Sorry, but I don't see a lady here." Anzu pinched Kaiba, stupid Kaiba teasing her.

"Oh Mr. Kaiba how could you say such a thing like that when you have a beautiful goddess dancing in your arms!" Alex said winking at Anzu making her blush. Kaiba could feel his blood going up passing the hundred degree point.

"Mr. Hiko you may leave us now." Kaiba gave the worst death glare he could to Alex, how dare he start flirting with Anzu! Especially with her dancing with him! Alex shrugged his shoulders and whispered to Anzu they would dance later and went back to his seat. Anzu pinched Kaiba's shoulder.

"Why were you so mean to him?" Kaiba shrugged. Anzu began to get mad, why was Kaiba such a jerk sometimes? Well he IS a jerk, but usually not to her. Kaiba could feel rage when he though of Alex flirting with Anzu, he didn't understand what he was feeling.

"Your jealous." A voice inside of him said.

"No I'm not!" He fought back with himself.

"You can't stand seeing another guy have the hots for Anzu."

"What are you talking about!" Kaiba said trying to fight the voice.

"Admit it, every time she went out with a guy in the past two years you were filled with rage if the guy did anything to her. Your jealous."

"No I'm NOT JEALOUS"

"Your jealous if Anzu's with another guy aren't you? You want her to be with only you."

Kaiba couldn't take it anymore, he closed his mind and ignored anything else he thought of. He was good at that sort of thing, hiding his thoughts and feelings. He looked at Anzu and realized she was looking at something or someone. It was Alex. "Damn Anzu why do you fall for stupid guys?"Kaiba thought.

"Anzu why are you looking at Alex?" Anzu snapped her head away, revealing a blush on her face.

"Oh, um, um, I-I..I think he's kinda cute." Kaiba rolled his eyes, Anzu was too sweet sometimes, a guy could take advantage of her, that's why he was there for her. Kaiba kept that kind of scum like Alex away from Anzu.

After a while the food came and Anzu and Kaiba stopped dancing. Kaiba and Mr. Hiko (the old man) talked about their companies and what they would like to do together. Anzu wasn't into business dealings and looked around. Alex had spent the whole time looking at her waiting for her to finish her food so he could have his dance with her. Kaiba left the table to talk in more private places about dealing with Hiko Industries. Alex took his chance with Kaiba gone to have his dance.

"Anzu, may I have this dance?" Reaching his hand to Anzu to aid her to stand up in her dress. Anzu smiled and nodded her head and walked to the dance floor, she admired Alex's green jade eyes as they walked to the dance floor and they began to dance.

Kaiba walked to the dance room a few minutes later to see Anzu and Alex gone from the table. "Damn he's dancing with her!" Alex had his hand not on her waist, but very close to her bottom. Kaiba saw fire, then he saw Alex whispering something into her ear and her blushing and giggling. Kaiba saw double fire, then he saw Alex kiss her cheek. Kaiba saw triple fire and decided he needed to chill. He sat in his seat and tried to calm down. He made up his mind right there and then, he did not like Alex.

"Anzu, you look wonderful in that dress." Alex whispered into her ear, Anzu giggled and began to blush. Alex smiled and gave Anzu a peck on the cheek. "You're a good dancer, I'm impressed." Anzu's face began to go red, she had developed a silly crush on Alex.

The night ended and Kaiba and Anzu found themselves arguing in the limo.

"I don't know why your so upset Seto!" Anzu said to Kaiba who had his arms folded over his chest.

"I didn't like the way Alex looked at you and kissed you!" Anzu was taken aback, she hadn't expected Kaiba to get upset at her for that.

"It's not like were a couple, if we were I could understand if that upset you!" That hit both of them hard, Anzu hadn't meant to say that, she knew that they were very close. Kaiba turned away from her.

"Your right, were not, were best friends that's why I was concerned for you." Anzu understood him, Seto had been there for her every minute of every day since they became friends.

"Seto, your right we are best friends that's why we look out for each other." Anzu scooted next to Kaiba and turned his head so he was facing her. They both smiled, they knew all of their arguments ended with a hug. Kaiba squeezed Anzu in a hug, almost knocking the life out of her.

The next day at school, everything seemed normal, Anzu and Kaiba sat next to each other as usual. Kaiba wasn't as open as he was with Anzu in public as he was in private. The teacher walked in and shushed the class.

"We have a new student today, his name is Alex Hiko." Kaiba's eyes widened and Anzu couldn't believe it. She knew someone wasn't going to be happy, she knew the only empty desk was next to her in class. And that was exactly where he was put. Alex smiled and said hello to both Anzu and Kaiba with Anzu the only one replying with a hello back.

A few months passed, Anzu began to go out with Alex, she made sure that Seto was okay with the relationship first of course. One day at Anzu's apartment Alex had something to talk to her about.

"Anzu I hate your friend Seto Kaiba! He is a cruel heartless bastard! Anzu I want you to make up your mind right now, either break up with me, or break your friendship with Seto Kaiba!" Alex had been after Anzu to not be friends with Kaiba, it seems that Alex had had enough of Seto Kaiba and wanted Anzu to break relations with him. He pulled Anzu toward him around her waist and kissed her cheek. And whispered into her ear, "Please Anzu. I can't stand seeing him be with you. I'm your boyfriend not him, please Anzu." He caught her in a passionate kiss.

Anzu put her hands on Alex's shoulders and pushed him out of the kiss. She had deep feelings for Alex, but she cared about Seto much more. It pained her with the words that flowed out of her mouth.

"Alex, its over, no one puts my friendship on the line." Anzu spoke quietly and silent tears came out of her eyes. Alex looked at Anzu's eyes, he knew he had given her a bad situation, but he could not look at Anzu knowing she was Kaiba's friend. He hated Kaiba, his father always compared him to Kaiba. Anzu silently said, "Get out Alex, please." Alex back away from Anzu changing his softness to anger.

"Fine Anzu, but you know what you lost!" Alex turned his back and stomped out of her apartment slamming the door behind him. Outside the door he cursed at Kaiba. Kaiba had cost Anzu from him, he wouldn't forgot what Kaiba had made him loose.

Anzu picked up her phone and called Seto.

"Hello?" Kaiba said from his end.

"Seto, I need you." Kaiba got up from his desk and jogged to his car. All he needed to hear was 'I need you' and he rushed to her apartment.

When he reached the door he took out his handy spare keys, Anzu had given him. When he opened the door he saw Anzu on the sofa crying in her hands. Anzu told him what had happened. She cried because Alex had forced her to break up with him because of her friendship with Kaiba. Kaiba sat next to her and put a finger on her chin to lift her face to look into her eyes. Her blue tear filled eyes had beauty and pureness in them. He didn't want to admit it, but knowing that Anzu had chosen him over Alex gave him a feel of satisfaction. He brought his arms around Anzu's waist and Anzu sat on his lap and hugged him back.

Their cheeks touched and Kaiba could feel tears falling down Anzu's wet cheek and he held her. He had brought her pain, she had deep feelings for Shane and she had given Shane up for him. And than he realized for the first time ever how much Anzu really cared for him.
