I'm using this as a mark for scenery change, since the spacing came out horrible in the first chapter…L Hopefully it shows up…
My Love, My Enemy
Anzu awoke that morning with cramps. "Maybe I'll be getting my period real soon.' At
least that's what she hoped was coming anyway. She feared anything more than blood
having to pop out. 'I haven't had my period in two months.' Maybe that's why she was
having a bad day yesterday. Well, whatever it was, she was over it. Although some
movements pained her, she felt rejuvenated and alive. She stretched out like a royal
tigress waking up from her nap.
She lingered in the shower, basking in the coolness of the water on her skin. Hazy
thoughts of yesterdays "encounter" drifted into her mind while she was shampooing her
hair. It wasn't enough to even call it an encounter. She was staring at Kaiba. No, more
on the lines of daydreaming about him. She felt a sickening feeling when she thought
about it.
She remembered the way the sun reflected off of his skin to give him the appearance of
alabaster. And he was just as cold and heartless as a statue. His attitude toward all things
positive made her want to retch. He was an annoying, arrogant, aloof, self-centered
bastard whom no one could change. She caught herself smiling at the thought of taking
him on a roller coaster ride involving the joys of life and friendship, just to show him
what it was like to have fun once in a while.
Heck, maybe she'd even get a taste of his soft skin and be able to run her fingers through
his hair. 'No, I need to concentrate on my own hair and washing the damn shampoo out,
for now.' She got dressed and made her way to school, catching up with Jouinichi first,
and then Yugi as their journey lead them closer to the dreaded school. Honda was the last
one to join in walking along side their group.
The second they got into the classroom, Anzu noticed that there were name tags on the
desks. She looked around for her name while others griped and complained about the
new assigned seats. Joiunichi blurted out too loud for his own safety, "What is this lady
the order Nazi or something! My new seat sucks!" Unfortunately, Ms. Satan (If you
want to have an accurate idea of the way she looks and acts, I think of her as being similar
to the character of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, except Japanese) heard
him. She was sitting at her desk and directed her death rays right at Jouinichi. Whether
she took off her reading glasses in total surprise or so that she wouldn't have anything
blocking the intensity of her stare, Anzu had no clue.
Jouinichi sat down immediately and smiled as if his ass were in heaven when he was in
that seat. "No problem with the seat Miss, I think it's the best I've had yet." Jouinichi
stroked the polished wood of the desk to emphasize his point. "Nice and…." He shifted
slightly. "Comfortable." The teacher snorted and replied tersely, "Well, If you love it
that much, I would let you carry it home with you, but it belongs to the school." She
looked back down at the papers on her desk and continued her work.
Anzu had a feeling that Jou was never going to live it up after this. She honestly thought
that the teacher could have been a replacement Hitler. Kaiba stared at her like she was
crazy and said, "I hardly think that she would hardly qualify as Hitler. She's too soft."
Anzu stared at Kaiba in disbelief. "Did I say anything to you?" A smug look crossed
Kaiba's face as he sat down in the desk next to her. "You do realize, Kaiba, that we do
have assigned seats, so you can't sit by me." Anzu stated matter-of-factly.
Kaiba pointed at the name tag that, sure enough, had his name on it. "I see my name on
it, so I just assumed it was my desk to sit in. Read it and weep." Anzu snatched the
paper from his desk and looked at the name. Sure enough, it was his name. She decided
that she would engage in a little weeping. She raised her hands as far as they would go up
without catching the teachers notice, and mouthed to the air something that Kaiba
couldn't read and a tear or two actually started rolling down her cheeks.
She heard a deep chuckle from the person sitting next to her. "I didn't think you were
that dense Mazaki. I obviously overestimated you." Anzu smirked at him with rebellion.
"I knew you weren't right about everything." Kaiba let out a sarcastic sigh and replied
sadly, "I guess I don't get everything right." A devilish grin appeared on his face. "On
the other hand, I at least seem to be right about everything, right Mazaki?" Anzu was
about to respond and realized that Kaiba had already gotten bored with talking to her and
turned down to read a book in his hands. 'What an asshole,' she thought grimly.
When the lesson started to drone, Anzu caught herself staring at Kaiba from the side. She
examined the way he looked so that she might find some way of criticizing him for the
flaws he had later on in the day, just in case any arguments came up. Anzu sighed in
exasperation. What was there to find on a man driven by perfection? His hair was
tousled, yet it suited him well because it looked as if the only way hair was supposed to
be was exactly how he styled his. His uniform was, once again, perfection, save for the
few wrinkles that it did make due to the fact that he was sitting down.
She wondered what kind of a body he had. Probably nothing spectacular, he is, after all,
the desk type of workaholic. Then again, she never knew until she saw it for herself.
Kaiba's POV
He knew she was steeling glances at him before, but this? This was more than just a
glance or two in the same direction. She was literally staring at him from the side. 'She's
really horrible at trying to look nonchalant.' Kaiba frowned. Usually things like this
didn't irritate him anymore or make him so uncomfortable, he was used to it everyday
from the fan girls, but this was unbearable. He felt as if she were trying to find his flaws,
and devour his form at the same time.
'Not very good at multitasking are you Mazaki?' A slight smirk managed to seep through
his façade of focus. His eyes, however, remained steadfast on the words of the book in
front of him. If anything, the dim whit would think that he was enjoying the book. He
decided that this was the best way to see if she had control over her girlish hormones like
she always pretended. He slid down in his chair slightly, loosing the 'I always sit so rigid,
even when I'm relaxing' look. Apparently, this piqued her interest. Of course it would.
He was Seto Kaiba, anything he did would arouse a woman.
Anzu's POV
Anzu felt her heartbeat skyrocket from normal to pounding when he slouched down
slightly. It was a total change in attitude for him. He looked normal for once. She
watched as stray strands of Kaiba's hair shifted from messy to naughty. She felt the
flames rise from her stomach to her face when a gentle sigh escaped his lips. Her body
temperature started to rise dramatically, and she felt as if she were lighting the classroom
on fire.
Anzu silently prayed in her head. 'Dear God, I know I haven't been such a good religious
person, but please, please, stop letting this hell demon from tempting my will. A girl can
only hold out for so long before exploding in sexual frustration. And maybe, if you
could, let me win the lottery. Thanks- I mean, Amen.' Anzu squeezed her eyes shut as if
she were preparing to receive a slap to the face. When nothing came, she opened one eye,
then the other, and looked in Kaiba's general direction.
'He's still there! What the hell! I prayed didn't I? I must be watching too much TV to
actually believe that prayer works…..' Anzu's inner, more sarcastic conscience woke up
at that moment. 'Of course he's still there! You hardly prayed for him to disappear from
the face of the earth you little twit. Besides, it's true. Prayer only works in movies. Live
and learn my little self.' 'Well, I guess I just have to go with the flow… Speaking of
that, I think it just started.' Anzu's hand flew up and she requested in a hurried jumble of
words to go to the bathroom.
Kaiba's POV
He watched as Anzu retreated from the classroom in a hurried rush and grinned to
himself. His eyes stagnated for a slight second on her long, smooth legs and the curve of
her school uniform. He brushed off his thoughts quickly. Inwardly, he was having a
laughing fit. 'I didn't think that I could pull that off so well.' Kaiba straightened himself
up into his former, rigid position and took out some of the applications for the DDR
contest. He looked over a few of the papers and inwardly groaned with agony. It would
take him and the people he had looking over all of these years to find a good applicant.
He flipped through some of the papers and found Anzu's name on the top of one of them.
An evil grin came across his face. 'Oh, Mazaki, what a great opportunity this will be, for
the both of us.' He took her application and put it on top. The second the door to the
classroom opened and Anzu came in, he put the papers away. Suddenly, something
caught his attention. He saw the slightest sign of a bra trying to make itself visible
through her shirt. What he felt next, he wouldn't even mention to his own brother. A
soft shiver ran through his features and he started to feel good, too good. He looked
down in his lap, as if something just decided to jump up and make itself home in his lap.
Noticing the tightening feeling in his pants, he crossed his legs over so that no one would
see. Anzu sat down and purposely looked at Kaiba. 'Oh no. She didn't see that did she?
I'll never live to see another day…' "What the hell are you looking at Mazaki!" His
whisper had proven to hold the slight tinge of anger he wanted to convey, but it sounded
somewhat weak. His voice was starting to betray him now. He met Anzu's glare
dangerously, trying to focus on her eyes so that his own wouldn't wander into restricted
territories. "Careful with that attitude Kaiba. We wouldn't want your brains rushing to
your head now."
He sat back and focused his eyes to the board. 'Shit. She saw it didn't she? What if
everyone else saw it too? I'll be the laughing stock of the school if she says anything. I
need to have a little talk with her after class to clear things up. Besides, I do have a
certain amount of leverage now because of her application for DDR. I could use this
well. Or maybe she didn't see anything at all?' Kaiba's worries and paranoia only
increased with every thought that managed to squeeze its way into his head.
Normal POV
After the bell rang, Kaiba rushed up from his chair and snatched Anzu by the arm and
dragged her out of the class and into the crowded hallway. Anzu pulled and struggled to
get her arm free from Kaiba's iron grip. He led her around a deserted corner of the
hallway and let go of her arm. She tried to make a run for it, but he blocked her way. It
was a dead end behind her, and he was in front of her. She crossed her arms over her
chest indignantly and asked, "What the hell do you want from me Kaiba? Are you going
to try and molest me or something?" Kaiba glared at her. "What would make you think I
would molest you! Your probably a walking disease! I wanted to talk with you, away
from the prying ears of your little friends." Anzu waited patiently for him to continue.
"Did you find pleasure in what you saw of me in class, Mazaki? I know you were staring
me down back there. Find anything wrong? See anything you liked?" Kaiba's ever-
famous sadistic grin appeared just in time to add the effect of perversion to his words.
Anzu was taken back by his forwardness. "How did you know I was looking at you?
You were reading and looking at the ceiling!" Kaiba's grin quickly faded. This
confirmed his suspicion. She had seen everything. He pushed her against the wall and
dug his fingers into her shoulders, making her wince in pain.
"You will tell no one of what you saw, understand Mazaki?" Anzu just nodded her head in fear of what he would do next. He was hurting her shoulders, and she was afraid that he would hit her. He released his death grip and added, "Then we have come to an agreement. But if I find out you said anything, I will rip that little competition form of yours to shreds." He disappeared around the corner, leaving Anzu there to mull over her confused thoughts. 'Don't tell anyone what? Did I see something I wasn't supposed to? Whatever it was that I saw, it must have been important or one of his most guarded secrets or else he wouldn't have threatened me like that. I have to play this well if I want to figure out what it was. It was probably something that could ruin him in arguments for the rest of his life, or embarrass him for life. Maybe I did find something to use against him later on after all, but I have no idea what it is!'
At lunch time, the cafeteria was buzzing with the usual second day settling in activities. Students trying to search for the friends they made on the first day, and trying to drag them over to the old group, or a group of freshmen trying to get themselves organized into one meeting place so that they wont loose each other. Anzu found her place with her friends, and sat down, staring in disgust at the huge line for the school lunch. Most of the people were coming out with fresh oolong tea, rice, soup, and fish eggs (personal comment: Eww.) Anzu was sickened by school lunch, it had never happened to her in her whole life (meaning that she never ate it, EVER), the idea of eating it was grotesque.
Kaiba was nowhere to be seen in the cafeteria. He never ate there anyway, then again, no one ever saw him eat. Anzu desperately needed to have a talk with him. She grabbed her things and started to get up, when she felt a hand touch her arm. She looked down and spotted Yugi. "Where are you going?" Anzu looked around the cafeteria quickly. She needed to find an excuse for them to not follow her. This thing between her and Kaiba was private business, and if they followed her, he would assume that she told them his secret, whatever it was, and it would ruin her chances of figuring it out.
"I have to go to the bathroom. It's a girl thing. It'll take me a while." Anzu stormed off, not even waiting for the response from her friends. Jouinichi asked Yugi, "What was that all about?" Yugi shrugged and said, "She said it was a girl thing. Don't know what she was talking about." "Did she say where she was going?" Honda asked. "Bathroom." They continued their lunch, worrying about where Anzu really rushed off to and wondering when, and if she would be coming back.
Anzu searched high and low inside the school and found no trace of Kaiba. "Where does this man go! He's only there when you're not looking for him!" Anzu stopped suddenly by the doors that lead to the side entrance of the school. She saw Kaiba, sitting under a full bloom Sakura tree, reading amongst the petals that fell when the wind shook them off their homes. She walked up to the door and put her hands on the bar to push it open, but thought about just sitting there and watching him. He seemed to be the most immaculate and stunning when he thinks that no one is watching.
What she saw was beautiful, the noon sun shining brightly from a clear sky, threads of its heavenly rays seeped through the flowers on the tree, allowing them to caress the petals on the ground. The green grass around the tree was firm and lush, the leaves coating the grass around the tree made a soft bed that looked perfect for laying under. The tyrant CEO sitting under it, relaxing only enhanced the beauty of the sight. Anzu's eyes burned with a passionate lust for the man under the tree. She had no idea where it came from, but she was determined to fulfill the desire coming from her body. Unfortunately, she knew it wouldn't last because he was a serious jerk who needed a fine adjustment to his attitude before she would even step towards those boundaries.
She pushed open the door and waltzed out there, as if she hadn't had a care in the world.
Kaiba glanced over the edge of the book and spotted two pairs of school issue shoes. His gaze moved farther up and it lead him towards her legs, then her chest, and lastly, her face. Anzu was hovering over him with what little authority she did hold in the world, radiating in sonic gushes. She was superimposed above him, as if trying to convey her dominance to him. "You really should take off that mask Mazaki, its isn't anywhere near Halloween." Anzu glared down at him. "Kaiba, with the way you treat people day after day with such disrespect, don't you ever get tired of that empty feeling between your ears?" Kaiba chuckled and replied, "If this is a game of wit Vs. insult, you should know that your at a true disadvantage to me, especially when you come in unarmed like that."
Anzu directed the nastiest look she ever had given to anyone at Kaiba, hoping that he would die from the mere ferocity of it. Kaiba smirked in amusement and commented, "Nice try Mazaki, but you're only making yourself look more vulnerable to my next wave of deliberately harsh tirade. Besides, I don't have all day to sit around and play with you. What is it that you want from me?" "Well aren't we just dragging things down to the point now. If you weren't such an asshole with a bottomless pit where your head should be, I'd say that you might-" Kaiba put a hand up to silence her little barrage and said, "If this little approach of yours was only to insult me, leave me alone now. You are wasting what little precious time that I have, and you're wasting your breath. Say what needs to be said and move on, or else, leave me."
Anzu stood there, feeling like a total idiot. He just made her insults look like childish behavior, yet he has been guilty of the same actions several times and over again. Anzu straightened up and decided to get serious. "I saw everything, you know." Kaiba looked up at her and examined her very critically. Could she be telling the truth? When he confronted her earlier, he acted rash and almost told her what she probably didn't even see. Kaiba marked the page in his book and set it down gently next to him. "Al right Mazaki. You have me at a disadvantage. You also have my full attention." Anzu smiled sweetly, trying to think of a way that she could spill it from him, but then he continued. "Tell me everything you saw, down to the last inconsequential detail."
The end of this just didn't want to double space...so yeah. RxR! Thanx for reviews so far! I think I'm giving up on the double space...
