Best Friends Forever:

Looks Who's Shopping!

A week passed after the dinner event, meaning that it was only one week till Christmas! Anzu had spent that week away from Seto and Mokuba on the account of what Seto had done to her that night at dinner. She had forgiven him, but hurt feelings had still stuck around in her heart.

It was a cold and brisk Sunday and Anzu sat on her couch staring outside her apartment. The view was nice from her high rise apartment, she could see all the decorations that had been put up around town, they were beautiful. Curled up in a ball she sipped her coffee and looked around her apartment. It looked bare and boring to her, she had wanted to set up the Kaiba Mansion for Christmas instead of her boring apartment, but Seto hadn't called her all week long. She guessed this Christmas she would be stuck decorating her apartment, alone. Taking another sip of her coffee she thought about last Christmas.

"Seto c'mon!" Anzu screamed delightfully through her phone. Kaiba grumbled on the other side of the phone.

"Anzu what will my reputation be if I do what your asking me to do?" He asked back to her. On the other line Anzu's smile became bright, and she felt joy fill through her veins as she thought about what they could do today.

"Seto who cares? Let them think about you however they want! This is going to be so much fun! Please Seto? Are you going to ruin today for me today? Lets go, we need all the time we can get!" Anzu's said with delight.

On the other side Seto Kaiba decided for the first time in his life, he was going to go Christmas shopping with Anzu. Her voice inspired his sprit, she was so energetic and happy, he could feel some weird emotion fill inside of him.

"Alright Anzu, I'll pick you up in fifteen minutes." Suddenly Seto remembered about Mokuba, Anzu probably didn't want him to come along. She probably wanted to spend personal time with him or something.

"Bring Mokuba too! This is going to be the best Christmas ever! Okay I'm going to get ready! See ya in a few!" And with that Anzu clicked off her phone and ran to her room to get ready.

Kaiba sat shocked at his desk with the phone still at his ear, she wanted Mokuba to come too? That girl was amazing, she really did care for everyone.

Kaiba didn't want the driver coming along with them, he knew Anzu wanted today to be a special day, meaning act like a middle class person. No drivers, no people holding your bags or doing the shopping for you, he'd have to do everything himself. How did Anzu get him to do this again? Oh right, her sweet and energetic voice…

Stopping in front of Anzu's apartment building, Kaiba expected that he would have to go upstairs and get her, but to his surprise she ran out of her building and waved excitedly at the two brothers and hopped into the car.

"Hey guys! Lets…GO!" Anzu said excitedly. Mokuba yelled for joy and Anzu sat next to him in the back of the car. Kaiba couldn't help, but smile at all the joy that Anzu had brought into his life.

They reached the heart of Domino city in the matter of minutes and luckily found a spot in front of the large Christmas tree. It was twenty feet high and was covered with wonderful lights and decorations and on the top was a large angel. Seto could just imagine Anzu at the top of the tree as the angel.

Anzu was dressed in cute little pink boots and plain jeans, along with a gray wool coat that reached down to her hips, and a cute little pink hat finished her appearance. Kaiba was dressed in his battle city outfit, except the turtle neck he wore was thicker than usual. Mokuba was dressed in black pants, and wore a puffy blue coat, along with mittens and blue earmuffs.

The streets were filled with people shopping for gifts, it was the best place to be in Japan. The happy groups of people with shopping bags in their hands and couples walking down the street hand in hand. Anzu pulled the two brothers and pointed at a ten story high building, it was the Domino Mall, hundreds of people walked in and out of the mall, laughing and smiling holding bags in their hands.

"Woah" Mokuba said as he looked at the scene in front of him. He had never seen such a lively place in all his life. Seto had given up on Christmas, until he had met Anzu. This was their first time going shopping with Anzu, last Christmas Anzu had just brought over presents to their house. Sure that was fun, but this was something completely different. It was as though he had just been born into the world, experiencing something so amazing, the feeling he felt was so strange. Was this joy and happiness? Mokuba let out a laugh of joy and grabbed Anzu's hand pulling her towards the mall.

Seto watched his younger brother express true happiness for the first time in years. The way he laughed, the way he smiled, it meant the world to him to see his little brother look so happy. He looked at Anzu and saw her laugh along with his brother, she smiled and shared his happiness. It was amazing, how could someone just accept others so freely and treat them as their own family? How could Anzu do that? Why had she chosen to fill his and Mokuba's life with happiness? No one did that for them, no one had ever done that for him. He and his brother had been alone since the death of their parents, he thought everyone was against him, and here was Anzu Mazaki sharing her love and happiness with him.

Suddenly something happened, something very strange, Seto Kaiba smiled, he smiled and jogged to Anzu and Mokuba and took their hands and looked into Anzu's ocean blue eyes.

"Lets go Anzu, lets go shopping for Christmas, together, the three of us will spend Christmas together." He said smiling at her.

Her eyes widened in shock at the words that had just come out of Seto Kaiba's mouth. She was finally being accepted fully by Seto Kaiba? Finally? Than her face beamed, she let out a smile and squeezed his hand and they went inside the mall.

That was when she had broken through the ice with Seto. Anzu didn't realize that she was in tears at last years memories. It seemed as though their relationship had moved away so much, she wished they could have wonderful times together again.

Seto hadn't called Anzu all week long, yes he knew that it was horrible of him. This was the time of year Anzu loved to spend time with him and Mokuba. So why had he stayed away from Anzu all week long? Well lets just say, he was having his room expanded. He hired men to smash the wall that was between his room and the guest room to expand his room so it was twice the size. Why you ask? Because he was having his room completely redone so that someone that belonged next to his side would be there. The construction and redecoration had finally finished last night. He planed to tell her today, and he planned to ask her something else too.

Picking up his cell phone he speed dialed Anzu's number.

"Hello?" Anzu said on the other line.

"Anzu, could you come over here right now?" Kaiba asked.

"Yeah, sure…what is it?"

"Just get over here."

Anzu entered the mansion, thanks to Mokuba's assistance from opening the door for her. He oddly had a large grin on his face, what was up with him? She saw Seto standing by the foyer waiting for her with a slight smirk on his face.

"Anzu would you follow me?" He asked. Anzu dumbly nodded, what was going on here?

She followed him upstairs and found he had brought her to the door of his room. Suddenly Kaiba opened the door to show her the room. Inside was a large bed by the wall by the window, and it was bigger than a king sized bed, it had new colored blue silk covers. The names Anzu and Seto engraved in the head board in glittering blue and pink. Across from the bed were two desks perpendicular to each other with a pink and blue chair in front of each desk. The pink chair had the name Anzu sown in it as the blue chair had Seto shown on the back. In the space to the left of the bed, which was where the wall was before, was a large area that looked like a dancing studio. There were mirrors on the wall in that area and the carpet had been turned into hardwood flooring just like a dance studio. There were lights attached to the ceiling in that little area. In the corner of the little studio was a large music system attached in the wall. All over the room were framed pictures of Anzu dancing from performances she had given. The pictures looked professionally taken and were wonderfully framed.

Anzu gasped, "What's all this?"

Kaiba took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. "Anzu, I've come to realize, I can't live without you. I want you to live here, with me and Mokuba, I want you to be with us all the time."

To some this may not seem like a big deal. What's the big deal, Anzu Mazaki moved in with the Kaiba's? So what? No, it is a big deal, Seto Kaiba is accepting someone into his family. Anzu has become more than just Seto Kaiba's girlfriend or friend, she's become one of the Kaiba's. She may not be married to him, but she already is a part of their family.

"Oh, Seto…" She understood now, Seto hadn't kept in contact with her, because he was doing all of this for her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pushed her face into his chest.

"I'm sorry for last week Anzu…I…was being a jerk…" It was always hard for him to apologize for something. It was like he had to swallow his pride and become weaker than the person he was talking.

"I forgive you Seto" She said to him as she truly forgave him from her heart. She wished that she would always be with Seto and never have to part from him.

Mokuba ran up to them and grinned at the couple hugging.

"So is Anzu staying with us!" He asked excitedly.

"Yes she is Mokuba" Mokuba jumped into Anzu's arms and hugged her.

"Oh Anzu! I'm so happy! You have to stay with us forever!" Anzu smiled at the young boy.

'I wish that too Mokuba' both Anzu and Kaiba thought together.

"How about we go Christmas shopping like we did last year Seto?" Anzu asked. Mokuba's face brightened.

"Yea let do that Big Brother!" Kaiba just grinned and nodded.

Mokuba was in the Toy Store, while Anzu and Kaiba went to the large supermarket in the mall, it was three levels big! Anzu had forced Kaiba to wear a blue cotton, jacket (the ones you wear when your jogging) and some slightly baggy jeans with sneakers. It was the only way people wouldn't recognize him in a second. Even though he disliked Anzu forcing him to wear such common clothes, he didn't mind the idea of not getting mobbed by hundreds of girls at once.

Anzu was buying everything needed for Christmas, she was going to cook it all herself. She filled the cart with cookie dough, sprinkles, gingerbread dough, frosting, chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes, and much much more.

When it came time at the checking counter Anzu pulled out her credit card, but was surprisingly stopped by Kaiba. He pulled her credit card out of her hand and replaced it with his.

"I'm not letting you pay for this, after all were like a family, remember?" He said as he winked. Anzu shook her head.

"But Seto!" She fussed as she whispered to him. Seto grabbed his other credit card from his wallet and handed it to the cashier and signed his name on the receipt. The cashier gave him a smile and they left the supermarket.

The twenty bags that they had gotten were heavy, even for Seto Kaiba to hold the whole time they were going to be at the mall.

"These are heavy! What are we going to do? We parked the car two blocks down!" Anzu asked nervously.

"Ha, this year I actually planned. I called Roland here, he'll take our bags to the car. Remember last year Anzu?" He said referring to when she had insisted on no one should go except for the three of them and that caused their arms to hurt all night long from holding so many bags in the mall.

Suddenly Roland appeared in front of them and took the shopping cart from Anzu. He looked quite embarrassed that he was given the job to take the shopping bags and place them in the car.

With a little cough he said, "Anything else Mr. Kaiba?" Kaiba looked at him in a business like manner.

"After placing the bags in the car, go retrieve anything that Mokuba may have." Kaiba said plainly. Anzu felt like giggling, this seemed like a business dealing than what it really was. Roland nodded and pushed the cart out of the mall, passing people stared at Roland. He was in a business suit, wore dark glasses, and he was pushing a cart! What an interesting sight.

Sighing, Kaiba turned to Anzu. "Is there anything else we have to get now?" It was obvious that he didn't enjoy shopping. It was like a chore, having to go to all these stores, pick out products and than wait in long lines to purchase them. What was the point? It was easier just getting someone to do it for you.

"Seto you know the drill from last year, get the food, get Mokuba a present, than I'm going to get some clothes, than we split up and look around the mall by ourselves for awhile." Sighing he nodded and they walked towards a three level toy store, it was the Toys R' Us of Japan. Most famous for their mascot, the dancing frog, (like the giraffe for Toys R' Us) Anzu always laughs when she sees the frog while Kaiba just grunts and ignores the frog's dancing.

They walked into the store and were horrified to see parents fighting over some kind of toy in the electronics section. They were jumping all over each other and screaming and kicking like a bunch of wacky monkeys.

"What's going on!" Anzu asked horrified. Kaiba looked at the parents fighting over the toy quite coldly. This was pathetic, he thought, just plain out pathetic.

A passing lady heard Anzu's question and stopped for a moment. "There fighting over the newest video game out on the shelf. The duel monster's adventure game that Kaiba Corp just released!"

Kaiba's expression turned to a large grin. So, they were fighting over one of his products huh? This was suddenly amusing.

Shaking her head as they walked past the mob and said, "I never knew you could make people go so crazy for your games." Kaiba couldn't help but smirk, so his product was a success.

They walked to a bunch of video games of all sorts, there were rows and rows of games to choose from. While Anzu studied each game carefully to see what they should buy for Mokuba, but Kaiba had a different approach. He took a cart and threw handfuls of video games into it.

"What are you doing Seto?" She said as she realized that more than twenty games had been thrown into the cart.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm shopping." Shaking her head she looked over the different games on the shelf. There were sports games, fighting games, adventure games, multiplayer games. Anzu picked out one Super Smash Brothers Melee multiplayer game, one good looking Zelda adventure game, and a Mortal Combat fighting game. Perfect, Mokuba would love these games. Placing them into the cart that was filled with thirty video games Anzu looked at Kaiba. He was just tossing in random games! Sheesh.

"Seto lets go…" Anzu said as she sweat dropped, dragging him by the collar they went to the checkout line. Once in line Anzu decided to give him some advice on shopping, "Seto, when shopping you look for quality more than quantity. Just some guidelines to shopping."

Kaiba gave Mokuba a quick check by calling him from his cell phone. Mokuba was in another toy store testing out new games and he said he would be done in around an hour or two. Next, it was time to go shopping for Anzu's clothes.

Anzu told Seto they could split up so she could get her clothes, and he could do whatever he wanted. While Anzu picked out new fashions Kaiba walked around the mall looking at the different store names. Most of them seems pretty pathetic and stupid to him and he didn't understand why Anzu and Mokuba enjoyed coming here, but then he stopped in front of a store. A very interesting store. It had red lace in the window with a mannequin in the window wearing a red colored brassiere. It was the Victoria Secret of Domino City mall. Raising and eyebrow he decided to step inside for a moment.

Inside were girls giggling and picking out different things, suddenly something hit his view. In the back of the store was a lingerie section. Bingo! Hmm…maybe Anzu could use some? Quickly walking to the lingerie section, he was relieved to find no one there but himself. There were so many girls, he was happy none had paid attention to him. Looking at the different items hanging on the wall a guy walked into the section and looked at the different things along with him.

"So, buying something for a special lady?" The man said trying to act like they were having a man to man conversation.

Taking a glance at the person talking to him, he realize it was a guy around his age, with dirty blond hair and dressed similar to him. Anzu had done a good job blending him in with everyone else. Ignoring the guy he continued looking over the items.

"Hey dude, I said 'buying something for a special lady'?" The guy said again as she walked to Kaiba.

'This guy is really pushing his luck'

Not wanting to be recognized Kaiba decided that he would get something else for Anzu, after all they weren't married……….

He walked out of the store and zipped up the jacket Anzu had given him to wear at the mall. Brushing a lock of hair out of his eyes he continued walking around the mall. He suddenly stopped at the 'fancy' candy store. They had dipped strawberries in chocolate and whatnot. He decided he could buy two or three dozen strawberries for Anzu and Mokuba to eat as a snack after shopping.

The clerk was surprised that a young man would be willing to buy three dozen chocolate covered strawberries.

"Are you sure you can pay for all of these young man?" The clerk asked him. Kaiba wanting to tell him he was Seto Kaiba what else did he expect and almost blurted who he was. Before he had a chance to say who he was he remembered what Anzu had said.

"Seto, if anyone finds out who you are its not that bad…it's the fact you'll be mobbed by hundreds of girls that makes me scared for you"

Keeping his mouth shut he took out a hundred dollar bill and handed it to clerk. The man's eyes widened a little as he handed back Kaiba's change and Kaiba left the store. He continued walking around the mall, and found a group of high school girls from his class giggling at him. He ignored them and walked past them. One of the girls ran to him and tugged at his arm. He growled and spun around to face the girl.

"What!" He growled. The girl giggled a bit and pointed at his face.

"You look just like Seto Kaiba! Except your way cuter!" She said as she referred to his casual clothes.

"I am-" Kaiba stopped himself and turned around and ignored the girl. She ran in front of him.

"Would you want to grab a bite of food with me?" She asked. Kaiba wanted to laugh out loud and say 'are you crazy I'm Seto Kaiba and I already have Anzu!' Instead he gave her a cold look and simply said 'no.'

Continuing down the rows of stores, one store caught his attention. It said 'We Make Custom Orders!' It was a jewelry store, wait didn't Anzu like necklaces? He had just found what he would get Anzu.

Anzu had finished her clothes shopping and she had bought him an interesting Christmas present. Quite interesting indeed.

She gave Seto a ring on her cell and went to the game store where Mokuba was to meet up with the two brothers. She had given her shopping bags to Roland and he had placed them in the car making her load of shopping bags light.

When upon entering the game store she found Mokuba playing fiercely at the same exact video game that she had bought for him. She walked up to him and told him it was time to leave.

"Okay" He said and he looked back at the video game that someone else had started playing, "I wish I had that game" he mumbled.

Anzu caught his remark and smiled to herself, so she wasn't half bad at picking out games for Mokuba. She wondered if he'd like the other two games she had picked out for him.

Once back in the Kaiba mansion there were at least twenty bags of stuff in the foyer. Everyone promised they wouldn't touch the presents that they had picked out for each other. Kaiba showed them the chocolate strawberries he had bought that they could eat right now and Anzu and Mokuba yelped for joy.

The three of them lay on the floor stuffing their mouths with strawberries with chocolate on top of them.

"This stuff is sooooooooooooo good" Mokuba said happily.

"Your telling me" Anzu replied back as she stuffed another strawberry into her mouth.

"I guess shopping wasn't so bad," Kaiba said thinking back to the mall.

"Ahaha, oh Seto your hilarious" Anzu said as she playfully whacked Kaiba on the arm.

This one was quite long compared to my other chapters. LoL Kaiba shopping! Kaiba actually fitting in with all the other people in the mall looking like a commoner! LoL Oh one of my reviewers asked me if Seto and Anzu were married. They aren't married…I know its weird the way they are acting with each other even though they aren't married, but you have to take in consideration that they've been best friends for more than two years. Anywho this chapter was a relaxing enjoying chapter…Review Review!
