What If?

Chapter five

By SmileZ

Author's Note: Hmm I had a beautiful plot and now I can't seem to remember it. This sucks. Let me think. My next update might be a little longer… but at least you get this one.

xxxxxXxxxxx

Anzu told Serenity everything. From her confusion about Yugi and Yami… to dancing with Ryou… and teasing Bakura… all the way to 'kissing' Kaiba. Well duh, she had to leave out the heavy making out, and petting. Gosh Serenity was only 15 I soo should not be talking. –cough- ignore me. Then she explained about her parents and how she was living on her own.

Serenity just sat under the tree. Forgetting about her lunch. She gawked at Anzu, with her mouth partly open. Anzu took the initiative and closed it for her. "You know a bug could fly in."

"WHAT? OH MY GOD! ANZU! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WEEKEND?"

"…A lot of things. From packing to moving to unpacking and to… uh flirting? Heh?" Anzu took a swig out of her Powerade.

Serenity just stared on. She acts like this is normal for her… "So… uh you moved out?"

"Yep! Wanna come stay over for a while?"

Serenity nodded her head up and down while still trying to figure everything out. Remembering her lunch, she took a bite of her subway sandwich, but felt nauseous. "Hey Anzu… have you spoken to any of them lately?"

"Nope…"

"Why not?"

"It's… awkward… when I see Yugi… I sometimes picture Yami… and then I get them confused so I avoid him… And Well Joey's been living with Mai and skipped today, Tristan is at the auto shop working for a college scholarship with Import Tuner. And Duke has been redesigning new updates for his Dice Monster games."

"I wasn't talking about the guys… I meant Yami… Kaiba… and Bakura."

Slurp. Suck. Slurp. "No…"

Serenity watched Anzu's face harden. Her eyes grew dull and her lips thinned into a hard line. Maybe I shouldn't bring them up… "Anyways. Prom is like two weeks from now. We have to go shopping… and I guess rehearse for our song? What are we going to sing again?"

The young girl watched as Anzu's face beamed. She noticed how her blue eyes sparkled and how her smile couldn't be wiped off her face. Yeah… this is how Anzu should always be like.

"Let's shop this Saturday. We'll go to Tokyo Mall k?" She gave a wink. "But this week, you have to help me decorate my apartment, and we have to move some of your stuff in, cuz you are gonna stay with me for a couple of months right?"

"Yep, yep. Hey are you going on the fieldtrip this Friday?"

"Yeah. Half the day in a museum is way better than staying in school."

Just as they got up to throw their lunch away, Anzu's cell rang. Picking it up, Anzu smiled.

"Anzu?"

"Hey dad, wassup?"

"Your mother and I just got settled down. It's been a long day. The first thing we did after that uncomfortable 12 hour flight was go into a conference meeting. How tiresome is that? That took over six hours to finish. I swear these Americans are hard headed, but we Mazaki's can be just as stubborn right Anzu? After that we went to our hotel, but the rooms were mixed up. We spent a good 4 hours sitting in the lounge waiting for an opening but none came up so we had to go to another hotel. It took us another hour just to—"

Anzu cut her dad off for a while. He always did this when he called her. He complained and yapped and blah. Blah. Ramble. She tapped her fingers on her arms which made Serenity giggle. Her attention was caught when he said something about his friend, Seto Kaiba.

"Did he come over and help you finish donating the furniture and securing the real estate details?"

"Uh…" Lie Anzu! SAY HE DIDN'T SHOW!

"Yeah… We're still working it out…" OKAY THAT'S NOT LYING! THAT'S THE TRUTH! Damn I always mix this up.

"Oh well once you're finished, we want you to wire the money into our account over here in America okay. Kaiba will help you out with how to do that. Well dear, I just wanted to check up on you and tell you we arrived safely. Now I'm going to get some shut eye. Goodnight!"

Anzu sweat dropped. It's daytime… oh yeah half way around the world. Duh! She smacked herself in the head and did it again when she heard Serenity laughing. I am a dork.

"Why are you hitting yourself?"

Anzu froze at the soft voice. Turning around, she came face to face with Yugi. Serenity glanced from one figure to the other, she quietly took Anzu's bottle and made her way inside. Leaving the two friends alone.

Anzu's fingers flexed when she felt nothing in her hand. She realized that Serenity was walking to the café without her. WHAT THE HELL. SHE LEFT ME!

Yugi's eyed her as she panicked. He didn't know why. He felt Yami watching her as well. Praying that the spirit wouldn't take control and block him, Yugi touched his puzzle uncertainly and moved to take it off.

-What are you doing Yugi?

I need to talk to Anzu

-But why do you—

I need privacy. Sorry spirit…

Their connection broke as the chain was removed and placed in his lap. Anzu watched him and smiled. "Yugi…" We can talk. I can talk to my best friend again. And Yami can't overhear. She relaxed as she sat next to her friend.

"Anzu. I don't know what 's been going on, but you have to spill. Yami acts bizarre every time I see you."

"Yugi… me and Yami have been…" Damn she couldn't even think up a word for it. Dating? No too strong a word for what we had. "Flirting? kissing?"

She watched as Yugi's eyes popped out and then blushed tomato red. "You kissed me?"

Anzu's face heated up and she shrugged. "Not technically…" More like we made out without brushing lips. Now if only I had the guts to say that out loud.

"Oh… then what do you mean?…"

This was EMBARRASSING! "We went further?……"

Yugi's mouth dropped open. "We… I'M NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE!"

Anzu colored up. People walking near the building stared in their direction weirdly. "NO! NOT THAT FAR!"

"Thank God…"

Excuse me? Would sleeping with me be that bad? "What is that suppose to mean?"

Anzu glared at her short companion. Yugi gulped audibly and prepared to run. Anzu never listened when she was offended… shit. I can't explain it if she's going to be yelling! He threw on the chain and ran for it.

"YUGI! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE SO I CAN BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!"

-What is that all about?

You don't want to know... A stick hit his head. Oww. She's so violent!

-What did you do to her?

You mean what I didn't do to her.

The spirit scowled as a rock smacked against Yugi's skull. -What do you mean? His agitation grew when his Hikari fell silent. Even as they were yards away, Anzu still managed to throw a shoe and hit his head.

--

Bakura watched the scene amusingly. He chuckled as the pharaoh got hit three times. Yes the girl was entertaining in more ways than one.

His eyes skimmed over her panting chest and clenched fists. As he walked towards her, he stopped to pick up her fallen shoe.

Anzu glared at the sprinting boy. Why am I so mad? Maybe I'm PMSing. Her eyes caught the figure of Bakura walking towards her. She could tell the two egos apart now. It was all about aura, but she didn't know how she could sense it.

He smirked as he crouched down before her. He slid her shoe on and took his time as he caressed her leg for a moment. Standing up he allowed Ryou to take over.

Ryou blushed as he saw Anzu wink at him. "Hey Anzu."

She grinned at the albino and looped her hand though his arm as she steered him towards the cafeteria. Need to go kill Serenity. "Wassup Ryou?"

"Nothing really, just wondering. Is Yugi going to be your date for prom?"

Anzu sighed. She hadn't even thought about a date yet. She had always thought she would have gone with Yugi/Yami, but now that was too uncomfortable. She played with the thought of Kaiba taking her… that didn't last long.

"No… No one asked me yet, but if I don't get a date then Imma just go alone." His soft chuckle made her look up at him.

"I'll be your date. Okay?" Anzu searched his face for any sign of pity. She didn't want to be pitied. She smiled, he really, truly wanted to take her… Wait… back track. Did he just ask me out on a date?

They stopped in front of the glass doors because Ryou moved to hold it open. He's such a gentleman. As she went through, Anzu stopped and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks Ryou."

The albino blushed scarlet as he watched her running towards Serenity who was at the vending machine. His eyes roamed her over before he smirked. Stepping out of the doorway, he felt a piercing glare targeting him. Turning back around, Bakura's eyes narrowed at the challenge.

Kaiba had watched her when he spotted her through the windows. He saw the close exchange between her and the take-over-the-world-psycho and felt his eyes harden. His hands subconsciously clenched when he saw her lips brush along someone else's skin.

Seto could hear his can being crushed under his hand. His other hand twitched to knock something, more like someone, at the hungry look Bakura bestowed Anzu. As their eyes clashed, his warning was noted, but ignored. The boy had the nerve to smirk.
