Chapter 5: To Protect You
Yugi and Anzu arrive at their shoe lockers. Yugi opens his locker and takes out his indoor shoes. Anzu does the same. However, she sees that there is a letter inside her locker. She turns to look at Yugi, who was busy tying his laces. She picks up the letter, tears it open, and reads it. It states, "Meet me on the roof at the start of lunch. From your secret admirer."
"Anzu?" Yugi says. Anzu jumps slightly, she hides the note from him.
"Yes Yugi?" She responds.
"Are you ready to go? You've been staring at your locker for a while."
"I was just daydreaming," she quickly puts the letter into her bag, "I'm ready now." The two of them then head to their classroom. On the way, Anzu thinks of whom could have written that note. I wonder who my secret admirer could be. Unless, it's just Honda and Jonouchi playing a practical joke on me again. I mean, I don't know of anyone who may like me. She looks at Yugi, with the corner of her eye. I wonder if Yugi wrote that letter…
The two go to class. As they enter, Honda, yet again, makes his childish remarks. "Here comes the…ugh!" Jonouchi has, again, grabbed Honda.
"Shut up already! Don't go repeating yourself, piggy."
"I'll say what I want!" He shouts to him.
"Be quiet!" Anzu yells at them two, causing them both to flinch. "Honestly! All I hear when I come into this classroom, is you two yapping like a bunch of idiots!" She slams her backpack on her desk. "If I hear you two again, I'll knock your teeth out! Got it?!"
"Yes ma'am…" they both say in unison.
After that, Ryuji enters. "Hi everyone," he greets.
"Morning Otogi," Bakura replies, "It's good to see that you're on time today."
"Yeah. I made sure my alarm was on, this time." He sets down his bag next to his desk. He walks to the others, who were gathered around Anzu's desk.
"By the way," she begins, "I'm not falling for your trick Jonouchi."
"What trick?" He asks, confused.
She crosses her arms. "You know. The one you did with Honda this morning."
"I have no idea what you're on about."
"You can play dumb all you want."
"Look, I'm telling you I don't know what you're…" He quickly stops, as Honda quietly tells him not to argue with her, as she'll probably just kill them. Jonouchi sighs, "Okay, fine. Whatever you say Anzu." Jonouchi goes to his seat.
"Do you know what they were on about?" Bakura asks Yugi, who was listening to the conversation from his desk.
"No, I don't," he honestly says.
"Oh well, It's probably not important," Ryuji says.
Yugi watches the classroom door, as Shinji just walked in. He keeps a close watch on him, all the way to his desk.
"Lunchtime!" Honda happily exclaims, as he digs into his oversized proportion of burger and chips. He was currently sat with Jonouchi, Bakura and Ryuji, all of whom were eating their normal sized proportions.
"Jeez Honda, you should enter a food contest or something," Ryuji suggests, half-serious.
"You think so?" He says, with his mouth full of food, causing Ryuji to look away from him.
"Why not? Besides, it's probably the only talent you've got," Katsuya mocks him.
Honda slams his fist on the table, which causes Bakura's food to fly into his face. "I dare you to say that again!"
"Look what you did piggy! Bakura's face is covered in sauce," he points out, as Bakura wipes his face.
"That's all right. No harm done," Bakura says.
"Sometimes, I think you're just a little too nice Bakura," Ryuji comments, "You and Yugi are alike in that way."
"Speaking of Yugi, where is he?" Katsuya asks.
As if on que, Yugi runs into the cafeteria. He rushes over to his friends.
"Speak of the devil. What took you so long?" Honda asks him.
Yugi regained his breath, before he spoke. "Have any of you seen Anzu?"
They all thought for a moment. "We haven't, sorry. What did you need her for?" Ryuji says.
"We were supposed to work on our assignment now. But, I can't find her anywhere."
Honda raises his eyebrows. "You're going to do 'it' at school? That's a bit bold of you Yugi."
"Where else would we…" Yugi's cheeks start to turn pink, "That's not funny Honda!"
Honda bursts out laughing. "You're so slow at these things."
"Guys I'm serious. I need to find her as soon as possible," Yugi starts to fret a little.
"Calm down," Katsuya says, "She's probably just in the bathroom."
Yugi clenches his fists, "I'm going to look for her again," and he runs out of the cafeteria.
Bakura becomes concerned. "Yugi seems worried about something. Maybe we should help him look for her."
We find Anzu presently walking up the stairs, to the roof. She is holding her hand nervously, as she's not sure if this a prank or if it's real. Once she stood behind the door, she braced herself. Okay… she grabs the door handle and turns it, to allow the door to open. She steps out from the staircase and onto the roof. She finds that Shinji is standing on the other end of the rooftop. She sighs, it's not him after all. Shinji turns around, seeing that Anzu has come, he starts walking to her. Anzu too starts walking to him, but gradually. They finally meet in the middle. Shinji smiles at her.
"I see you got my note," he says.
"Yes..." she says simply, "Why did you want to meet me?"
He blinks a couple of times. "I thought you already had gathered why. The last part of the note gives a hint."
"Oh…" is all she says. She keeps her head down, not wanting to look at him.
"Will you go out with me, Mazaki?"
Ugh, this is what I wanted to avoid. She lifts up her head to look at him. "I'm sorry Kitagawa. You seem like a nice guy, but…I'm not interested in that sort of thing."
He slumps his head down. "I see…I thought you might say that."
She laughs awkwardly, "Well, I'll be making my way now."
Shinji's tone completely changes. "You're not going anywhere, Mazaki."
"Huh?" She says surprised. She hears a slam behind her. She turns and sees that two men, in black suits, have entered onto the roof. What the hell?! She quickly turns her head back to Shinji, who was creepily staring at her.
"It's a shame I have to drag you with me, by force."
"What are you doing Kitagawa? Who are these men?!" She begins edging away from him.
"They're my henchmen," he explains.
She begins to panic. This is bad! Very bad! "And, why do you have henchmen?"
He starts sniggering to himself. "Because…" he then stops laughing, "They're here to take you to my hideout. So, I wouldn't try to struggle if I were you. After all, they're carrying dangerous weapons that could easily damage your pretty face."
She turns back to the men in suits, finding that they are now both holding knives. She gasps. Yugi.
Yugi sneezes. He was looking through all of the classrooms, most of them being empty. He runs up to some of the other students in the hallway. "Have any of you seen Anzu Mazaki?"
"Mazaki? Sorry dude, we haven't seen her." The student apologies.
"Thank you anyway," Yugi starts running again. Where on earth are you Anzu? I've looked everywhere possible in the school. Wait a minute! I didn't check the roof.
He turns around and heads towards the roof. He runs up the staircase and slams open the door. "Anzu!" To his disappointment, she isn't here either. He walks out onto the rooftop, and glances around to see if she was hiding around the corner. He drops to his knees, trying to think of other possible explanations. Maybe she went home. But, she didn't look ill this morning… "Huh? What's this?" Yugi spots a scrunched up piece of paper to the side of him. He picks it up and unravels it. His eyes go wide. "This is…!"
"Why are we doing this again?" Honda moans, whilst he was walking with the other three.
"Because Yugi needs help finding Anzu," Bakura clarifies.
"He may have already found her. They could be working on their assignment right now."
"We don't know that though," Ryuji says, "Anyway, Bakura did say that Yugi looked worried. So, that's more of an excuse to look."
"Okay, fine," Honda drones.
"Let's check the roof," Katsuya suggests. The others agree and they head towards it.
Katsuya opens the roof door, to find Yugi collapsed on the floor. "Yugi!" He yells and hurries to him.
"What's wrong?!" Honda asks, whilst him and Bakura and Ryuji run over to him also.
Katsuya kneels down next to Yugi, seeing that he was in a state of shock. "What happened? Tell us Yugi!"
Yugi remained quiet, too stunned to speak. He slowly passes the piece of paper to Katsuya, still keeping silent. Katsuya takes the note from him.
"What does it say Jonouchi?" Bakura questions.
Katsuya reads out the note, ""Meet me on the roof at the start of lunch. From your secret admirer."
"So that's why Anzu thought that we played a prank on her," Honda says, "But if she thought that…it doesn't explain why she would come to the roof."
Katsuya turns over the paper to find a second note. "Hang on a sec guys, there's a second message." Katsuya stands up and faces them. He reads the note to himself. His eyes narrow and he clenches his teeth.
"What is it?" Honda asks, "You're expression changed."
"Tsk! It says: nice try a**holes, but Mazaki is mine for the taking," he rips the note apart, "What the hell is that supposed to mean!?"
"You mean someone's kidnapped her!" Honda says angrily.
Katsuya looks at Yugi irritated, and picks him up by the collar. "Snap out of it Yugi!"
"Hold on a moment Jonouchi," Bakura says, concerned.
Yugi didn't look at Katsuya. His head was tilted towards the side, so that he was avoiding Katsuya's gaze. "Listen to me Yugi! You can't be moping around like this when Anzu could be in serious danger! Start acting like a man for god's sake!"
Yugi turns his eyes to look at Katsuya. "That's easy for you to say," he mumbles.
Katsuya looks at him wide eyed. He keeps quiet momentarily before speaking again. "I know that you feel powerless Yugi. But…that shouldn't stop you from saving the girl you love," he speaks in a softer tone, and lowers Yugi back down onto his feet. "Remember Yugi, we're all here to help you as well. We're your friends after all."
Yugi looks at Katsuya, with a half-smile. "Yeah, you're right Jonouchi. I guess I'm just frustrated. Thanks for snapping me out of my daze."
"No problem," he pats Yugi's shoulder, "The question is though, is who could have written that note?"
I'm going to have to tell them. "I…"
"I think I know who did it," Ryuji suddenly says. They all turn to look at him. Ryuji walks up to the rooftop's door, "Let's talk inside."
Ryuji opens one of the empty classroom doors. He allows the others inside and then he shuts the door, so no one will disturb them. He starts, by showing them his bruised leg.
Bakura gasps by how big the bruise it. "I can't believe it covered the whole of your leg."
"What do you mean by, you couldn't believe it?" Ryuji asks him, with a raised eyebrow.
Bakura remembers that he's the only one who caught a brief sight of Ryuji's bruised leg. "Sorry Otogi. I saw that your ankle was bruised yesterday. I was going to ask you about it, but I thought it would be better not too."
"So, how did you get that bruise?" Yugi asks.
Ryuji covers up his leg. "You know I told you guys that I was late because I overslept. Well, that's not true. Basically, what happened yesterday was…"
"Man I'm tired," Ryuji yawns, "I knew I shouldn't have stayed up all night playing video games." As he was walking his normal route, he noticed that a bunch of guys were cornering a young girl next to an ally way. "What on earth?"
"Come on girlie, you might as well come with us. We can show you a good time," one of the guys spoke to her.
"No t-thank you," she said shakily.
"Leave her alone!" Ryuji shouts to them, causing the guys to turn around.
"Huh?! Who the hell are you?"
"Does it matter?"
"Oh I see, a tough guy eh? We'd best get rid of this guy before Kitagawa arrives.
Once Ryuji explained the story, Yugi fell to his knees again. "Anzu could be hurt! I feel hopeless."
"Shut up Yugi! What did I just say earlier?" Katsuya yells at him.
Yugi flinches a little, but stands back onto his feet. Jonouchi's right. This is no time to be thinking negatively.
"Where do we look for this gang though?" Honda ponders.
"I forgot to mention this," Ryuji states, "But, the guys that I saw were the same ones, from when we met that guy at the theme park."
"So he and Kitagawa know each other," Bakura points out.
"Seems so." He thinks about where to look. "I suggest we start with the all the local hangouts." They all nod in agreement.
Once school was finished, the five of them quickly left to search for Anzu. Ryuji suggests that they should split up, so that they could cover more ground. They all agree and so, Bakura and Ryuji head off together, leaving Yugi, Katsuya and Honda to look elsewhere.
Anzu slowly wakes up. She blinks a few times, and slowly positions herself up. She looks at her surroundings, finding that she was in a small room with a tiny window that was high above her. Meaning, escaping would be difficult. Where am I? Ow! She holds the back of her head, trying to reduce the pain. I must have been hit from behind. The door, that kept her enclosed, opened. One of the men, in the suits, entered.
"You're awake," he simply states.
"Why did you bring me here?" She asks.
"It was Kitagawa's orders."
"What does he want?!" She angrily says.
"You." This causes her to gasp in distress. "He plans on making you his play thing." Once he said that, he left the room, locking the door behind him.
She quickly runs to the door, trying the pry it open, but to no avail. She falls down onto her knees, quivering in fear. Please save me! Please Yugi!
"Damn it!" Katsuya yells, as he punches a nearby brick wall. "We've looked at every hideout, but we can't find that bastard Kitagawa anywhere!"
"Now what?" Honda asks.
"There is someone who may be able to help us," Yugi says, "I'll text Bakura to meet up back with us."
"Who did you have in mind?" Katsuya questions.
"You'll find out."
Bakura and Ryuji re-join the three. "So, where are we going Yugi?" Ryuji asks.
Yugi points towards Kaiba land, which was just down the street. "You're kidding right?" Katsuya says.
"Nope," Yugi says, and starts walking towards Kaiba land. The other three follow him, not questioning his intention.
"Oh great. The last person I wanted to see was Kaiba," Katsuya moans to himself, and eventually follows the others.
Yugi steps inside the building and immediately goes to one of the security guards. "Well, if it isn't the king of games. You've come to enjoy some of Mr. Kaiba's attractions?" The security guard assumes.
"No. I wish to speak with Kaiba directly," he explains.
"I'll see if Mr. Kaiba is available. I'll be one moment." The guard pages for Seto on his walkie-talkie. "Mr. Kaiba sir."
On the other end of the line, Kaiba responds. "What do you want? Can't you see that I'm busy at the moment?"
"I understand Sir, but someone wishes to see you now."
"And who might that be?"
"The king of games himself sir, Yugi Mutou."
What could he want now? "Fine, send him in."
"Mr Kaiba will see you now," the guard explains to Yugi.
They all go to the elevator. The guard activates the code for the top floor, and presses the button. The elevator makes its way up. They all keep quiet, until they reach the top floor. The elevator door opens. Yugi and the others step out into Kaiba's office. Seto was sitting at his desk, looking out of the window. "I've brought them here, Mr. Kaiba sir." The guard explains.
"You can leave now," Seto tells the guard.
"Yes sir," the guard bows and goes back down, in the elevator.
Kaiba lets out an annoyed sigh, and then swivels in his chair to look at Yugi. "It seems you've also brought all of your friends. Typical of you." He leans back in his chair, folding his arms. "Why have you come to see me? I'm too busy to duel you Yugi."
Yugi speaks in a serious tone, "I want you to hack CCTV footage." The others are shocked at Yugi's request. However, Kaiba's expression remained the same.
"What for?"
"Anzu was kidnaped by someone from our school. We've looked everywhere possible, but we can't find her." He explains.
"Hmm…I thought there was one member short in your party," he pauses, "Why should I hack CCTV to help you?"
Katsuya starts getting angry at him. "What do you mean why?! Our friend is in danger!"
"Oh, Jonouchi. I didn't realise you were here," Kaiba says disrespectfully.
"Tsk! I've been here the whole time!"
"What's going on in here?" They all turn around to see that Mokuba has entered into the office. "Seto, why is Yugi and his friends here?"
"It's nothing important Mokuba," Kaiba says simply.
"You jerk! This is very important! Anzu could be hurt, and it's all because you can't hack CCTV!" Jonouchi yells at him.
Kaiba becomes irritated. "I never said I couldn't, idiot."
"Will you help us Kaiba?" Yugi asks.
Tsk. This is why I find you so annoying.
"We should help them Seto," Kaiba looks at Mokuba who was walking to his desk.
"You're joking right?" Kaiba says.
Mokuba shakes his head. "Come on Seto. It's not like you couldn't handle it. You find hacking footage easy."
Kaiba closes his eyes and thinks. He then looks at Yugi. "Fine. I'll help you this time, but don't expect any other favours." He says sourly.
Yugi smiles briefly. "Thank you Kaiba."
"Humph."
Kaiba begins working his magic on his laptop. He tells them to gather around. He shows them the CCTV footage of the current time. Yugi tells him that Anzu was taken around 12:30. Kaiba begins searching all the local areas. "There." He points to the screen. It shows two men in suits, one carrying Anzu into a warehouse.
"Those sons of…!" Honda exclaims.
"How far away is that warehouse from here?" Bakura asks, interrupting Honda.
"15 minutes. So maybe you should hurry up and get going," Kaiba tells them.
"Let's go guys!" Katsuya says. The others hurry and follow Katsuya to the elevator. Yugi stops midway.
"Thank you again Kaiba," he repeats.
"I don't need your gratitude Yugi," he says bitterly.
Yugi runs to the others, into the elevator, and pushes the button to go down. Before the door closed, Kaiba says. "Don't forget Yugi. I want to duel you for real. You know, this time without your partner." The door then closes.
We find Shinji and the gang leader, sitting on empty crate boxes, inside their warehouse hideout. They were both cleaning their knives. Shinji was mischievously smiling to himself. "What are you smiling about?" The gang leader asks him, noting his current expression.
"Oh, nothing. Just…how easy this all was," he says smugly. Suddenly, the warehouse shutter began to open. "Hey! Who's opening the door!?"
Yugi and his friends enter into the warehouse, startling the gang leader and his members. Whilst Shinji stood up, fuming.
"Where are you hiding Anzu, Kitagawa?!" Yugi demands.
The gang leader walks up next to Shinji. "It's nice to see you again, 'king'." He then looks at Ryuji. "You too, Ryuji Otogi." Ryuji just snarls at him.
"Seems you have already been acquainted," Shinji states.
"Answer my question Kitagawa! Where's Anzu?" Yugi gets angry.
He raises his hands. "Like I'm going to tell you that."
Katsuya whispers to Yugi. "Go with Bakura and find Anzu. We'll deal with these guys." Yugi turns to look at him. Katsuya just smiles, as well as giving him one of his many thumbs up. Yugi nods, and gestures to Bakura. Katsuya starts crackling his knuckles. "It's been a while, since I've had to take down guys like you."
"You think you can take all of us on?" Shinji asks, amused.
"I'm not alone, you know. Come on, Honda and Otogi. Let's teach these guys a lesson."
Honda smiles inwardly. "Seems this is one of those things, which I'm going to have to agree with you on, Jonouchi. You ready, Otogi?"
"You bet," he replies.
The three of them engage in the fight, and Yugi and Bakura venture inside, avoiding any conflict. They open one of the doors at the back of the warehouse, to find a long hallway with several rooms. They both turn right and start looking in the rooms, finding that they are all empty. As they continued down, they are joined by the two henchmen in suits. Bakura pushes Yugi back and grabs a crow bar, which was conveniently placed to the side. "What are you doing Bakura?" Yugi asks him, whilst regaining his balance.
"Go back and search the other rooms. Anzu's got to be in one of them somewhere. I'll stay here and fight these guys."
"But Bakura! You've never hurt anyone before!"
"I know. Don't worry about me," he smiles and looks at Yugi with an uncertain look, "go and find her."
Yugi slumps his head and quickly runs the other way. This is all my fault! I should have told everyone what I heard. I'm so stupid. He starts opening more doors, still finding Anzu not present. "Anzu! Can you hear me?!"
Huh? Anzu lifts her head up, from hiding in-between her knees. "Yugi?"
"Anzu!" He calls again.
"Yugi?!" She relaxes her knees. I know I wasn't imaging it! Yugi's here.
Yugi tries for the last door, which was at the end of the hallway. Did Anzu call me? He bursts open the door. He had found her. "Anzu," he repeats again.
She covers her mouth, overwhelmed that he was there. She begins to tear. "Y-yugi…" She rushes to him and hugs him. "I'm glad…you came. I was so scared," she whimpers.
He gently hugs her back. "Did they hurt you?" She quickly shakes her head. He lets out a relieved sigh. He let's go of her. "We need to go."
She wipes away her remaining tears, and they leave to meet back with the others. She grabs his hand, once they started running. This caused Yugi to blush a little. They hurry back out into the warehouse's open area. The two were surprised to see that the police had arrived.
"I called them," they turn to see Bakura, holding his mobile phone. He also had a small cut on his head, which was bleeding slightly.
"Are you all right Bakura?!" Anzu asks, alarmed. "Your head is bleeding."
"I'm okay. It's just a little scratch," he reassures her, "It seems that the others had no problem taking care of them guys."
Katsuya, Honda and Ryuji had all successfully knocked out the gang members, including the leader and Shinji. The three boys were currently panting. They notice Anzu and Yugi. "Yugi! Anzu! Are you two okay?" Katsuya shouts to them.
Yugi gives a thumbs up to him. The three of them re-join them outside of the warehouse, to allow the police to arrest the gang. "I'm sorry…" Anzu says, causing the boys to questionably look at her. She starts to cry again. "I s-should have told you about the letter. I'm so stupid."
"What are talking about?" Ryuji starts, "It's not your fault."
"But… you're all hurt because of me."
"These are nothing. Now, stop crying. We know you're tougher than that," Katsuya says, smiling.
She manages to stop crying and smiles at them. "I'll take you home," Yugi offers.
"Thank you," she politely says. The two wave goodbye to the others, and Yugi takes her home.
"Now that's an interesting sight," Honda amusingly says.
"What is?" Bakura asks.
"Didn't you guys notice? They've been stuck holding hands ever since they came back," he points at Yugi's and Anzu's hands.
Once Yugi and Anzu made it to her house, he realises that they'd been holding hands. He quickly let's go of her hand, making Anzu look at him oddly. She then catches on, because her hand started to feel cold. He must have found it a bother… He then tells her that he'll be going now. "Wait," she stops him, "I mean, won't you come in for a bit." She starts playing with her hair.
"Um…Okay," he agrees, unsurely.
"It's just that…I want someone to keep me company," she quickly explains.
"Okay." She opens her front door and leads him inside. "Is your mother home?"
"Yes, she is."
Good, I don't want to be left alone with her. Especially in her own home. Wait a moment. Why am I speaking like I'm her boyfriend or something?!
She leads him into her leaving room. He sits down, rather uncomfortably. "Did you want a drink?" She offers him.
"No, thank you. I'm good," he declines, quite sheepishly. Anzu sits down next to him on the sofa. She unexpectedly hugs him. Yugi's eyes go wide. "W-what's wrong, Anzu?"
"Nothing…I'm just glad that you're here with me." Yugi's heart began to speed up. Should I hold her? Unsure on what to do, he decides to rest his hands on her shoulders. They remain like that for a minute or so.
"Anzu, darling! You didn't tell me we were having a guest," her mother walks into the living room. Anzu rapidly let's go of Yugi and he does the same with her.
"Hi mother. Sorry, I invited Yugi last minute."
"Yugi?" She walks further in to get a better view of them. "Oh, Yugi. It's been a while. My, look how mature you've become."
"It has," he replies.
Her mother smiles cheekily. "I didn't know you two were dating."
Anzu and Yugi both went bright pink. "No mother! We're just friends."
"Is that all?" She says disappointingly, "You seemed like you were. I mean you were hugging just now."
"Well that's because…well…how should I put this…"
"Did something happen today?"
"Yes."
Yugi stood up. "I'll let you and your mother talk. I should let my grandpa know too."
"Oh…okay, I'll see you out," she says disappointedly. She follows Yugi to the front door. He steps out, waves to her and walks to the game shop. Anzu waves back. She shuts the door and immediately sinks to the floor. Did I upset him somehow?
Yugi was walking with his head down. Why did she invite me in all of a sudden? She even hugged me…She probably did it out of pity. Yugi arrives home, seeing Katsuya and his grandpa exchanging words. He watches his grandpa go back into the game shop. Katsuya notices Yugi and signals him over. "Hey Yugi."
"Hi. What were you and my grandpa talking about?" He asks.
"About today. Sorry, I know I should've let you tell your grandpa instead. But, I didn't know how long you were going to be with Anzu."
"That's okay," He assures him.
"So…how did it go? I mean is she feeling better and all?"
"I think so…"
"Well, I'm sure she was happy to see you again," he pauses, "So, what are you going to do about her?"
"What do you mean?"
Katsuya narrows his eyes. "You know. Are you going to confess to her?"
"Of course not."
"Why the hell not?!" Katsuya starts to get angry at him.
"I never said I was going to in the first place," he states, "So, just leave it alone Jonouchi."
"If this is still about Atem, you need to drop it already!"
Yugi snaps. "I said leave it alone!"
"I won't! I'm your friend Yugi. I'm trying to help you for god's sake. But if you keep living in the past, you're never going to get anywhere!"
"Just stop it! She doesn't love me and she never will. End of!" He finishes the conversation, and leaves Katsuya to go into the game shop.
Katsuya calms down. "What if you had really lost her? Would you regret it? Not telling her how you feel?"
Yugi stops momentarily before entering inside. He shakes his head, "Just go, Jonouchi." And shuts the door behind him.
