I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

-Chapter 5-

-I-I-

The woman continued walking down the small lit path towards the single ordinary door. Her black dress swept across the sand behind her as she kept walking at a slow pace. Dark clouds swallowed the night sky as thunder began to grumble slightly. The woman paid no heed to the dark atmosphere that the weather was creating around her as her only focus was beyond that peculiar door. She finally arrived, standing right in front of the door. She shakily moved her hand towards the brass doorknob and firmly gripped it. Her eyes filled with hope as she began to gently pull the door open. The same bright light appeared again as the woman pulled the door wide open. She quickly shut her eyes closed and put her hand over her face to protect her from the gleaming light. But soon enough the light began to fade away as the woman moved her hand away from her face safely and opened her eyes, awaiting to see her lover beyond that door. Her mouth slightly fell open as she gasped at the man standing in front of her.

"You?" She said, and remained completely speechless.

"Yes Anita... its me," The deep voice replied as he slightly smirked. 'Its really him' the woman thought as she continued to stare at the man. His very particular dark brown eyes were vibrant and his same short slick black hair was gelled as usual. He was wearing basically the same thing as her lover. The same white transparent dress shirt and the same white dress pants. His slight smirk had turned into a innocent and pure smile that was irresistible to look at. The woman became mesmerized with his natural smile and the vibrant look in his dark eyes.

"Do you want to come with me to the other side of this door?" The young man asked politely, reaching his hand out for her.

"No...I...can't..." The woman replied hesitantly as the thought of her lover surfaced in her.

"Please, trust me Anita," He responded, awaiting her hand to hold his. The woman was silent as she thought about his offer. At the same time she was thinking about her lover. She didn't want to leave him, but since he left her and was nowhere around to be seen, she gently nodded in agreement.

"Alright," She replied as she gently yet hesitantly took his hand.

-I-I-

"Anita...Anita, wake up!" Kaiba called as he gently shook his sleeping wife.

"Seto...let me sleep," Anita mumbled with her eyes still closed.

"Anita its seven thirty am, don't you have class?" Kaiba asked.

"What?" Anita said as her eyes flashed open, "Its seven thirty already?" she asked jolting up from the bed.

"Anita, relax...it is seven thirty," Kaiba replied as he too sat up beside her on their bed, "Why? What's wrong?" He asked touching her arm.

"Shit! I'm going to be late!" Anita exclaimed as she ripped the covers off her and jumped out of bed to run into the washroom. Kaiba sat there still in bed, smirking at his wife's actions.

"Can't afford to be late today!" Anita said as she came out of the washroom all brushed and washed up a few minutes later.

"Why? What's the rush?" Kaiba asked as he finally got out of bed shirtless.

"Today's Rose Day, remember Seto? Its the charity event we hold every year to raise money for the college. The student council sells roses on this day and everyone comes dressed in red. We also prepare specials in the cafeteria and then end it off with our Rose Day Dance," Anita explained as she walked towards her closet to find an outfit to wear.

"So why do you have to be early?" Kaiba asked as he gathered his things for his morning shower before work.

"The professors have to be there early meaning nine to help set up everything because today the classes start at ten," Anita finished explaining as she finally found something to where today.

"Well if you think you're going to be late then you know who to ask for a lift," Kaiba replied smirking.

"No I think I'll get there on time, but thanks anyway," Anita smiled at her husband before he disappeared into the washroom for his shower.

She dropped her clothes she was going to change into on her bed and sat down in front of the mirror. She opened up a drawer and reached in to get her hair straightener. She plugged in the straightener and waited for it to heat up so she could quickly use it before she left. As she waited, thoughts drifted into her mind as she recalled her recent dream she had awoken from. 'This is just ridiculous! How come I'm having the same dream being continued like this?' Anita asked herself. 'Its freaking me out, I mean how did Sheniro enter my dream, why did he enter my dream?' Unanswered questions attacked Anita's mind. 'I shouldn't stall any longer and tell Sheniro the truth about my martial status' Anita thought, 'Because these dreams are like seriously driving me crazy!'

-I-I-

Ring! Ring! Ring!

'Finally...class over' Sheniro thought in relief as he quickly packed up his things and stuffed his books and papers in his side bag. 'Have to go find Anita now, haven't seen her for the whole morning' Sheniro thought as he quickly put on his dark denim jacket over his red t-shirt. He was too busy thinking about Anita to notice his three female students who were staying behind as usual.

"Look girls, I got this for Mr. Kazaki for Rose Day today," Selina said as she pulled out a pure red rose to show her friends.

"Wow! That's so beautiful,"Rita exclaimed as she looked at the rose.

"Goodness..." Naomi said rolling her eyes and packing her books up as Selina gave her a dirty look.

"Come on lets go, I want to give this to him now," Selina said excitedly as she picked her bag up and held on to the rose with her other hand.

"I'm getting out of here," Naomi replied as she picked up her bag and abandoned her friends.

"Let her be that way Selina," Rita responded as they both walked up towards Sheniro's desk.

"Mr. Kazaki?" Selina called in her sweetest tone.

"Yes?" Sheniro responded turning around to face her.

"I bought this rose for you for Rose Day today," Selina beamed as she handed him the rose delicately.

"Thank you...that was very...thoughtful of you Selina," Sheniro replied hesitantly, understanding her real intention.

"Any time," Selina replied with a plastered smile, "Come on Rita we're getting late for class," she said flipping her blond hair as they both exited the classroom.

Sheniro observed the beautiful and delicately pure red rose. The beauty of it reminded him of Anita. 'Maybe I should save this rose to give to Anita' Sheniro thought as he took in the sensational fragrance of the rose and quickly picked up his side bag to put over his shoulder. 'Have to go find her right away' he thought as he left the classroom.

-I-I-

Anita silently walked down the very busy and crowded hallway of Domino college. All the students were buzzing with excitement about Rose Day and the dance. The girls were all dressed in something red and all the boys dressed in either red or black. The college was all decorated in red banners, streamers and balloons and gave an authentic look. Anita softly smiled to herself as she too was very happy and excited about today. For a very strange reason, Anita's heart was desiring to see a glimpse of Sheniro. She didn't know the reason why but her eyes searched for him through the hall.

Suddenly she felt a light tap on her shoulder and she quickly turned around.

"Looking for someone?" Sheniro asked with a slight smirk.

"N..no...I was just...going to the staffroom," Anita said hesitantly as she looked down to hide her blush.

"I haven't seen you like all morning, so I thought I might as well go find you now," Sheniro said, "And by the way, you look amazing in red," he complimented as he gazed at her intently.

Anita was wearing a long plain silk black skirt that touched the floor with two knee-high splits up the sides, revealing her long slender legs. She also wore a crimson red off-the-shoulder top, bringing out her slim shoulders. Her hair was straightened perfectly and her red feather earrings finished off the ensemble.

"Thank you," Anita replied as a blush again crept up her cheeks.

"Oh and before I forget," Sheniro said as he took out the red rose he was saving for her, "This is for you, Happy Rose Day," he said as he held out the rose for her.

"Thank you...again," Anita smiled, accepting the rose delicately. She took in the lovely scent of the flower as her lashes swept over her eyes for a moment. The recent dream she had that morning flashed in her mind as she quickly opened her eyes.

"Anita? You okay?" Sheniro asked.

"Yeah I'm fine," Anita replied. 'Why can't I just tell Sheniro the truth about my martial status?' 'Why am I hesitating? I really want to tell him the truth but then on the other hand I don't' Thoughts running in Anita's mind.

"Anita...I...want to...say something," Sheniro hesitantly said.

"What is it?" Anita asked nervously.

"I...I..." Sheniro began but was interrupted.

"Good afternoon you two," Mrs. Kanami greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon," Sheniro and Anita said in unison.

"Isn't this year's Rose Day absolutely wonderful? We've raised a lot of money for the charity!" Mrs. Kanami said excitedly.

"That's great," Sheniro replied with a half hearted smile.

"Well I better be going now...have a lot more work to finish right now," Mrs. Kanami responded cheerfully, "Anita if you don't mind, we need some help for organizing the dance and ticket sales," she said before she left.

"No problem, I'll be right there," Anita responded.

"Alright then, see you later," Mrs. Kanami said as she turned and walked away. A moment of silence surrounded Anita and Sheniro as they hesitated to speak up again.

"I'll talk to you later then..." Anita spoke up softly, "Have to go help in the staffroom," she said as she was about to walk away.

"Anita..." Sheniro called as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"What is it?" Anita asked anxiously.

"Never mind," Sheniro responded quietly.

"Weren't you going to tell me something before?" Anita asked.

"I'll...tell you some other time," Sheniro replied.

"Alright... see you later," Anita said, "And thanks for the...rose," she added with a smile as she walked away from him.

"No problem," Sheniro replied quietly as he watched her walking away.

'Why can't I say three simple words from what I feel from my heart...'

-I-I-

'I'm really going to surprise Anita today' Kaiba thought as he took in the lovely scent of pure crimson long-stemmed rose in his hand. He sat at the back seat of his limo, half smiling as he looked out the clear window. He was heading over to the Domino college to pick Anita up, since he finally decided to finish his work early and spend the rest of the day with his wife. 'Anita will be really glad to see me for the first time, off early from work' he thought smirking slightly as his driver finally pulled in through the college gates entrance.

"Just park here and I'll get Anita and be back in a few minutes," Kaiba said huskily as he opened the car door and walked out, tucking the rose inside his coat.

"Of course Master Kaiba," The driver responded back.

Kaiba slowly walked up the stone steps and opened the main door to the entrance of the college. 'Its been awhile since I've been here...' Kaiba thought as he entered the school and walked down a peaceful hallway, since the students were having their last class of the day before the dance. 'The last time I probably came here was two years ago...' Kaiba thought as he kept walking down the surprisingly empty hallway. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice another young man walking directly towards him. A few seconds later, they collided against each other and nearly lost their balance.

"Watch where you're going!" Kaiba said sharply, as he stood straight up again. 'Imbecile' Kaiba thought as he brushed off his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry," The young man apologized as he stood up to look at the man he collided into.

"Seto Kaiba!" He exclaimed in shock, as he looked at the CEO of Kaiba Corporation.

"And you would be?" Kaiba asked with an expressionless face.

"I'm Sheniro Kazaki, professor of photography here at Domino College," Sheniro introduced himself, "Nice to meet you Mr. Kaiba," He smiled as he stuck out his hand to shake.

Kaiba shook his hand while thinking of the young man's name. 'Sheniro...' He thought, as it sounded familiar to him, and then suddenly remembered that Anita had told him about this young new professor.

"So what brings a wealthy business man like yourself here?" Sheniro asked politely as he stuffed his hand in his jeans pocket.

"I was looking for...Anita, she's a professor at this college," Kaiba replied calmly.

"Anita? I know her very well! She's a good friend of mine," Sheniro said jubilantly, "But how do you know her?" He asked curiously.

"She's my-" Kaiba was about to say, but was interrupted by the ringing of Sheniro's cellphone.

"I'm sorry, please excuse me," Sheniro apologized as he took out his cellphone and walked away from Kaiba.

'Anita's friends with him and she never told him that she was married...to me?' Kaiba thought suspiciously as he continued to walk down the hall. 'Anita would never do that...' He thought silently. For some reason, the thought of Anita and Sheniro being good friends and Sheniro not knowing Anita's martial status disturbed him.

-I-I-

"I'm sorry," Anita apologized for accidentally bumping into Sheniro.

"It's alright," Sheniro replied with a smile, "By the way Anita, a couple of minutes ago I met Seto Kaiba here at our college," he said.

"Really?" Anita said surprisingly, 'What's Seto doing here?' She thought curiously.

"Yeah, he said he was looking for you," Sheniro said as he recalled what Kaiba had said.

"Oh...really?" Anita said as her heart beat paced faster.

"Yeah, have you met him before?" Sheniro asked inquisitively.

'I'm actually married to him for about four years now' Anita wanted to say but decided not to for now.

"Yeah, you see he donates money to the Rose Day charity event every year and I collect the donations from him," Anita lied as her heart pounded crazily inside. She wasn't used to lying like this at all and felt guilty about it, but she couldn't spill anything at the moment right now. She would figure out a way later to tell him the truth.

"Oh I see..." Sheniro said, sounding as if he didn't believe her for a moment, "Well then I think he wants to talk to you about the donation, he's probably waiting for you in the main entrance hall.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him now then," Anita replied nervously.

"Wait Anita, are you coming for the dance?" Sheniro asked eagerly.

"No, I don't think so..." Anita answered.

"Alright...see you later," Sheniro said softly, as his face turned slightly glum.

-I-I-

Kaiba looked at his wrist watch as he patiently waited in the main hall of Domino College for Anita. He had looked places where she could be, but didn't find her and he didn't bother asking anyone because he didn't want to make it a big commotion with his presence here. So he just decided to wait in the main hall, hoping Anita would appear there soon. He looked up quickly to the sound of clicking heels on the hallway floor. Anita was walking towards him with a bit of a shocked expression on her face. Kaiba pushed his hands in his pockets and slightly smirked at his shocked wife.

"Seto...what are you doing here?" Anita asked in astonishment as she looked into her husband's eyes for an answer.

"I'm here for you Anita," Kaiba answered as he lifted his hand and pushed some hair away from her cheek and gently placed his lips against the warm skin of her cheek. Anita felt confused inside as she tried to figure out the main reason he was here. His lips finally moved away from her cheek and he looked into her curious blue-grey eyes.

"This is for you," Kaiba said as he took out the rose from inside his coat but suddenly noticed that his wife was already holding one in her hand, "I see you have already received one," Kaiba said as he looked at the other rose in her hand.

"Seto, why did you come here?" Anita asked nervously, changing the subject.

"Are you saying I can't even come here to visit my very own wife?" Kaiba asked raising a brow.

"No...its just that...you never do," Anita responded as she looked down.

"Well today I decided to come because I wanted to get off work early and come pick you up and spend the rest of the day with you only," Kaiba explained.

"That's a first," Anita replied sarcastically as she looked back at him.

"I know...I thought it would make you feel happy," Kaiba answered.

"I...am Seto," Anita smiled as she put her hand on his cheek. Kaiba gently smiled and took her hand off his cheek and softy kissed it.

"Well then, shall we leave now?" Kaiba asked.

"Okay, but I have to let someone know that I'm leaving first," Anita replied.

"Alright, I'll wait for you outside," Kaiba responded back.

"Okay," Anita agreed as she turned back down the hall.

-I-I-

The drive back home to the mansion was silent as Kaiba and Anita were both deep into their own individual thoughts. Anita was feeling guilty about the lie she had told Sheniro earlier that day, but then again it just wasn't the right time to tell him right there and then. She also questioned herself in her mind that when would be the right time to tell him the truth or if she even wanted to. Kaiba on the other hand was thinking about why Anita never mentioned her relationship with Kaiba to Sheniro. Kaiba didn't want to doubt his own wife but something about Sheniro made him slightly suspicious. Finally the limo pulled into the driveway of the mansion and Anita and Kaiba both stepped out. They quietly walked up to the entrance of the mansion without a word being said. Maria opened the door for them as they walked in and headed for the staircase.

"Are you going to run into the study and do some forgotten work you needed to finish?" Anita asked sarcastically as they both walked down the hallway to their bedroom.

"Anita, I was serious when I said I wanted to spend time with you, why can't you understand that?" Kaiba said with a slight frown as they entered their bedroom.

"Because you never spend time with me, I'm always alone, I think I'm more alone then before we got married," Anita replied as Kaiba closed the door behind them.

"Anita..." Kaiba sighed as he went up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Is work even more important than me Seto?" Anita asked as she broke away from his embrace and turned around to face him.

"Why are you even asking? You know I love you!" Kaiba said a bit shocked with what she had said.

"I don't think I know that! You're always locked with your computers and machines. Machines don't love you Seto Kaiba...I do!" Anita exclaimed as she looked into his blue orbs.

Kaiba remained silent as Anita turned her back on him and crossed her arms in front of her. Kaiba then again put his arms around her and gently let his lips place a kiss on her bare shoulder. Anita closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself down.

"Maybe we need some time apart to just calm our selves and clear our heads..." Anita suggested as she turned back to face him.

"Anita there's a reason why I wanted to spend time with you today..." Kaiba responded looking into her blue-grey eyes.

"But Seto-" Anita interrupted but was silenced by his finger on her lips.

"I...I'm leaving for a business trip this Friday and...I won't be home for our anniversary," Kaiba said hesitantly. For the next couple of moments, Anita just stared into his eyes with shock.

"Then...then take me with you, I don't want to be away from you during our anniversary," Anita finally responded.

"I...I...can't Anita," Kaiba answered quietly.

"This is exactly what I mean! You're so insensitive to everyone around you. I'm your wife, not some machine that you can turn off and on and leave when you please! I'm a human with emotions, I'm a wife who needs her husband's time and love, and obviously its something you can't give me!" Anita snapped as she couldn't take all this pain of being left alone anymore.

"That's not true Anita, I've given you plenty of things!" Kaiba replied with frustration.

"Money, wealth and sex don't count you know!" Anita exclaimed angrily, "I've never complained about how lonely I've felt at times where you weren't there for me, but I can't take this pain any longer Seto!" she raised her voice.

"I was always there for you Seto whenever you needed me, but you weren't there for me when I needed you to be," Anita cried as tears fell freely out of her eyes without restrain, "I'm only asking for your time and nothing else," she said.

"As much as I want to give you time Anita, I just can't because I'm business man," Kaiba replied as he tried to calm her down but was pushed away.

"Then maybe you should have given a second thought about getting married to me, if you knew you didn't have the time," Anita responded with her tears streaking her face.

"How could you say that?" Kaiba said getting irritated.

"Well, its true isn't it?" Anita questioned.

"Anita...just...please leave me alone right now," Kaiba said after a long silent pause and walked towards the door to leave, "And just to let you know, I still intend to go to that business trip even if I'm not going to be home for our anniversary...I'm...sorry," Kaiba mumbled as stood in front of the door.

"Sorry is not going to make me feel better you know," Anita responded as her tears continued to pour down her face.

Kaiba silently paused as he opened the bedroom door and left it ajar. He looked back at Anita as a hint of compassion reflected in his deep sapphire blue eyes. He then turned away and hastily walked out of their bedroom, leaving Anita behind as constant tears just rolled down her face.
