I can't believe the summer went by so fast and now school started like two months ago! Another year of hell! I'm sorry but that means I won't be able to update as fast as I did for the previous chapters...school really takes a lot out of you! But anyway, really glad to see the great reviews I'm getting so far, so thank you for that. Hope you enjoy the chapter!

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

-Chapter 4-

'Ring, Ring, Ring!'

"Okay, class dismissed, see you tomorrow," Sheniro said with a big smile as all the students heaved a sigh of relief. 'Teaching isn't as easy as it looks,' Sheniro thought as he collasped in his chair behind his big desk. 'Atleast I'm teaching something I know a lot about and admire' he thought as he shuffled through some papers and books on his desk. All the students in his class happily packed away everything in their bags and shuffled out the door. But three young ladies still stayed behind taking their time packing their stuff without Sheniro noticing.

"Hey Selina, why are you staring at him like that?" A brunette girl named Rita with grey eyes whispered.

"Probably day dreaming about our new photography professor," A girl beside Rita named Naomi with raven black hair and violet eyes replied, quietly nudging Selina.

"He's just so...amazing!" Selina, a blonde girl with bright jade green eyes said dreamily.

"He is kind of cute though," Rita whispered as she blushed slightly.

"Kind of? He's so sexy!" Selina exclaimed but quietly so Sheniro wouldn't hear her.

"Come on you guys he's our photography teacher, we should respect him, not fall head over heels for him," Naomi stated with a disappointing look at her friends.

"I don't care if he's a teacher," Selina said stressing the last word as she rolled her eyes, "Besides's I'm sure he's not much older than us, I mean look at him!" she whispered.

"You're crazy Selina, I'm not falling for a professor even if he's young and handsome," Naomi said stuffing her books in her bag.

"Have it your way Naomi, but your going to miss all the fun," Selina replied with a wink, "Come on Rita, lets go talk to Mr.Kazaki," Selina said packing her books away.

"You sure he won't mind?" Rita asked nervously as she zipped her bag close.

"Don't worry Rita, I'm sure he won't mind us," Selina slyly smirked as they both walked up to his desk as Naomi hopelessly followed behind.

"Now just stand back and watch the expert flirt," Selina whispered as she flipped her blonde hair back behind her.

"Oh God..." Naomi said rolling her eyes.

"Mr.Kazaki?" Selina called in her sweetest voice as Sheniro looked up at them.

"Oh hello, what are you girls still doing here? Don't you have another class next?" Sheniro asked raising a brow.

"Oh the teacher won't mind if we're a bit late," Selina replied fluttering her eyelids at him, "We just wanted to say how we loved today's class! It was amazing the way you taught us the different views of photos and stuff," she said.

"Well thank you, glad you enjoyed it," Sheniro replied with a smile.

"Photography has gotten even more interesting ever since you've been our professor," Selina smiled widely, "Hasn't it Rita?" she said nudging Rita with her elbow.

"Y-yes, yes it has, its...amazing!" Rita agreed, trying to sound enthusiastic about it, "You're a great professor," she finished off, smiling nervously.

"I appreciate the compliment girls, thank you," Sheniro replied, "I hope you girls enjoy it more as we go further into the subject," he said.

"So did you graduate from university a few years ago? I mean, you look very young for a professor," Selina piped quickly.

"Yes as a matter of fact I did," Sheniro chuckled.

"Well then you must be like in your early twenties right?" Selina asked.

"I'm sorry Selina but that's my personal information," Sheniro responded, "But I asure you, I'm much older than you girls," he finished off as he understood their intention.

"Please may we know you age?" Selina pleaded as she nudged Rita again.

"Y-yeah, we won't tell anyone," Rita tried to convince.

"I'm twenty-four, much older than you girls as I said," Sheniro said with a bit of annoyance in his voice.

"That's young, we're eighteen," Selina responded excitedly.

"I'm six years older than you girls," Sheniro said a bit frustrated as he looked out the classroom door. He suddenly spotted Anita passing down the hallway and decided to go meet her.

"Look girls I'm sorry but I have to leave right now," Sheniro said quickly packing all his books and papers in his black side bag, "I'll see you tomorrow in class," he said as he put the strap of his side bag over his shoulder and quickly rushed out the door.

"See Selina, I told you he wouldn't be interested into a girl like you," Naomi finally spoke, since she'd been silent for the whole moment.

"Oh shut up Naomi," Selina said disappointedly frowning, "I still think he's very hot for a professor," she said.

"Selina just forget about him, he's not interested so who cares?" Rita replied, still standing beside her friend.

"Whatever..." Selina replied as they all walked out of the classroom.

"Anita...Anita!" Sheniro called out from behind a massive crowd of students in the hallway. The students were all pushing their way around in the hallway, trying to get to their next class without being late. Anita was also stuck in this crowd of people near the front as she tried to squeeze through some how.

"Anita, over here," Sheniro called again loudly as he pushed and shoved his way along, trying to get her attention from behind. But the hallway filled with students drowned out Sheniro's voice as Anita kept walking.

"Anita!" He called again, practically screaming. But this time Anita heard him because she quickly spun her head around to look behind her.

"Wait I'll be right there," Sheniro said loudly over voices of students. Anita quickly walked out of the crowd as best she could and stood near the side of the wall.

"What a crowd!" Sheniro said with relief as he finally made it over to Anita.

"Yeah..."Anita smiled as she took a moment to look at Sheniro.

As usual, he was attired in his casual dark jeans and a blue and green-checkered collar shirt, which was completely unbuttoned at the front, revealing his white muscle shirt underneath. Sheniro was also looking at Anita intently as usual. She was attired in knee-length skirt which was striped with soft colors like powder blue, pale green and lavender. She was also wearing a sleeveless collared dark denim shirt which had a zip at the front but was zipped only half way, revealing her pale blue tank top.

"So, do you have a class next to go to?" Sheniro asked, breaking the thin silence between them.

"No I have a spare this period," Anita replied as she put some of her strands of hair behind her ear.

"Wow, so do I, what a coincidence!" Sheniro said cheerfully. "Do you want to go outside in the backyard and just talk for awhile?" he asked, slipping his hands in his pocket.

"Umm...sure," Anita responded after a moment.

"Great!" Sheniro said as he escorted Anita outside.

They both walked outside into the fresh spring air and gentle breeze passing by. Both walked through a small stoned path where fresh green grass and blooming flowers surrounded the soft tranquil atmosphere. They were lost in their own worlds, as they remained silent, yet still kept walking further ahead.

"So...how are your classes going so far? I mean it has been two weeks already," Anita asked, shattering the thin layer of silence.

"They're going well so far, I mean the students really are enjoying the class," Sheniro smiled as he shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"That's good," Anita replied, not knowing what else to say further.

"Do you want to go sit on that bench for awhile?" Sheniro asked, pointing towards the direction of the bench.

"Sure..." Anita replied as they both walked towards the small stoned bench and sat down.

"I know this is going to be random but did any girls...I mean your students flirt with you?" Anita asked curiously.

"Well yes they try, but I never let them get to me," Sheniro chuckled, "But why are you asking?"

"Oh I don't know, was just curious...I mean your young and handsome and all," Anita responded, without making eye contact.

"You really think I'm handsome?" Sheniro asked a bit surprised at her response.

"Yeah I mean who wouldn't?" Anita laughed flipping her hair back.

"So do any of the guys in our college flirt with you?" Sheniro asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, well at first when I was new, but now I guess I'm too old for them," Anita laughed off.

"Well I don't blame them for flirting with you..." Sheniro replied as his hand reached out towards her, "You're beautiful..." he said, lingering on the last word as he pushed some strands of her hair back behind her ear.

Anita felt her heart thump all of a sudden as she looked at him surprisingly yet confused. Why did he call her beautiful? And the way he said it sounded like he really meant it from inside of him. She slowly looked away from him and looked down, feeling a very bizarre feeling inside of her that she couldn't help but realizing it. She suddenly felt his warm finger tracing its way down the side of her face as it slowly lingered at the side of her chin. Trying to avoid it, she quickly jerked her face away and looked at the opposite direction.

'Why is he doing this to me?' Anita thought confused. 'I mean we're just friends but he's trying to be more than a friend in some ways...' she thought as her breathing began to quicken a bit. 'Can he be falling in...love...with me?' she thought a bit puzzled herself.

"Anita?" Sheniro called softly as Anita snapped out of her thoughts.

"Sorry...I was just thinking," Anita replied as she faced him again and realized he was holding her hand up in his and staring at the diamond ring which rested on her wedding finger firmly.

"Don't tell me your married Anita...are you?" Sheniro asked with a nervous laugh.

Anita's heart started beating faster and faster as she looked down at her wedding ring and then back at Sheniro. She didn't know what to say to him as he waited for her answer.

'I think I should tell him the truth now, about me already married so things between us don't turn into a mess and stay as a strong friendship only' Anita thought as she stared at Sheniro. 'Tell him Anita, tell him your married already...tell him now!' A voice said in her head.

"I'm...not married..." Anita hesitantly said glancing at his eyes. 'Why'd I say that? I can't believe I just lied! Now I have to wait to tell him later, why did I just do that?' Anita thought as she mentally kicked herself.

"Really? Wow for a second I thought you were going to tell me you were married," Sheniro laughed with relief. "So why the ring on this particular finger?" he asked curiously.

"I just..." Anita started off, trying to think of an excuse. "Like wearing it on that finger..." she laughed nervously, trying to sound normal.

"Oh...wow...I actually started thinking you were engaged or something," Sheniro chuckled. "But you look way to young to be married anyway," he finished off as he looked away to a distance.

'Actually I'm twenty eight,' Anita thought blushing slightly as she also looked away. 'What made me lie to Sheniro? Especially something about my marriage?' she thought as they both were silent. 'But I've got to tell him soon...' she thought, 'He actually believed me about the dumb ring lie I made up'.

"I...have to go now..." Anita softly said as she stood up from the bench.

"Ok, I'll come with you," Sheniro replied also getting up from his position, as Anita already began walking away from him as fast as she could without saying a word.

'The further you are from me, the more my desire to come close to you becomes stronger...'

------------------

'Why? Why me?' Anita thought as she sat in the study room of the Kaiba mansion, marking some of her students' assignments. 'Why can't I just concentrate on marking these?' She thought, twirling her pen between her fingers.

'This is driving me crazy!' Dropping her pen on the desk and rubbing her forehead. 'I'm completely confused...' She thought, as she turned her chair to face towards the large open window behind the desk.

'I still don't understand...Why did Sheniro...this is just complicated!' Shutting her eyelids. 'Sheniro said I'm beautiful...did he really mean it? And even if he was trying to hint me on something, why did I lie to him?'

Her mind filled with unanswered questions.

'I guess I just did because I was afraid I would lose him as a friend for good...' Thoughts continued to consume her head. 'And since Seto can't always give me time, I guess I need Sheniro as a friend to spend some time with' She thought, re-opening her eyes again and looking out the window.

'On one hand I have this man who simply compliments me, adores me, and willingly spends time with me. On the other hand I have a husband who I love and am totally committed to...but does he feel the same way?' Anita asked herself, 'No way, I'm sure Seto loves me just as much, then why would he even get married if he didn't?'

Anita glanced at the clock realizing it was almost 8 in the evening, she tried to concentrate more on her marking rather than dozing off with her thoughts. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts and her work that she didn't realize Kaiba entering the study room. He had finally arrived home quite early than usual from work surprisingly and decided to check on his wife. He quickly put down his coat and briefcase on the near by couch in the study and began to loosen his tie as he strolled over to Anita. He slowly came up behind her chair and bent down towards her ear.

"Anita..." He softly, yet enticingly whispered into her ear.

"Seto?" Anita shockingly replied as she felt his warm breath trickle down her neck. "When did you get home? And so early?" She asked, deciding not to turn around and continue with her work.

"I finished all my work early just to spend time with you," Kaiba whispered again close to her ear.

"Surprise, surprise," she replied sarcastically, as she continued marking.

"What's wrong? I came home early just to spend time with you," Kaiba said a bit puzzled, as Anita remained silent.

"Come on, you know I care about you. I just want to be with you," Kaiba whispered alluring into her ear.

"Only when you have time…" She muttered under her breath.

"Anita, that's not fair, you know I have a lot of responsibilities!" Kaiba exclaimed, becoming quite frustrated.

"Seto..." Anita said putting her pen down. "Will you just leave me alone for awhile?" she said with frustration in her voice.

"No..." he said, a bit annoyed himself.

"I always wait for you to finish your work, so now you have to wait for me to finish mine," she stated as she quickly got up from her chair and moved away from him.

"But..." Kaiba said trying to think of a response.

"But nothing, now please leave," Anita said moving towards the big window and crossing her arms. Kaiba stood there half shocked by his wife's attitude towards him.

"Anita please...just for a little while, I promise I'll let you finish the rest of your work right after," he tried to convince her as his arms slowly wrapped around her waist from behind.

"I'm sorry Seto...I just have so much on my mind," Anita said, finally giving into his embrace.

'This would never happen if it was Sheniro...he'd always give me the time I need...'
