Well first I would like to thank starfairy25 and happy for reviewing my story so far, so thank you. Secondly my last chapter should have a disclaimer on it because I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any character except Cain and Janice and Anzu's mother, also I'm guessing that most you who did read the story maybe though Seto was the white wolf. That is something that I will reveal in later chapters along with other surprises yet to come.
By the way if anyone would like to read a good story about wolves then I would say or try reading Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Reading this book gave me ideas that I could never imagine happing to a person, real or fictional.
Anyway before a blabber on more this part of the chapter will be Seto's POV and continue in flashback style.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any character in my story except Cain, Janice, and any other character that I make up. Also if you would like to be included in the wolf family or human world please leave an e-mail telling me what you want to look like as human form then when you transform to wolf what color fur you would want to have. Thank you
After I returned home from my trip in the woods I quickly changed back into my human form naked and bare. After quickly getting dressed in a pair of black trousers and a white button up shirt I heard a knock at my door. When I unlocked my door and answered it I wasn't surprised to see that it my step-father, Gozaboro. I regrettably let him entered my room with a short bow and my head slightly tilted to the floor.
Gozaboro Kaiba, a man who's name could strike fear into others by just the mere mention of his name. This man was so powerful that he always seemed one step ahead of everyone, except for one person and that person was me. I studied all of his moves whether it is by chess or business deals just waiting to be taken over. I never wanted to be like him, but in some ways he was preparing me to take over Kaiba Corp. He pushed me beyond my limits by taking away any fun that I could possibly have. He has even tried to destroy my dream of opening up am amusement park right here in Domino but I would never let that happen. When Gozaboro spoke he held a tone that demanded respect from everyone, never showing emotions to anyone.
"Well, Seto I hope you're ready for today because today marks a special one. You do remember what today is right son?" Gozaboro glared at me, daring me to forget this occasion
"No father I have not forgotten was today is. Today is the day that I will possibly take a bride with the Mazaki family's only child. Should the plan not go though we will begin to buy out there family until they have nothing left, and only be left the clothes on their backs. Is this not true father?" I looked at him with a face that also held little to no emotion, a tone that also demanded respect, and eyes that were cold and stoic.
"Very good my boy. And you are correct when you say that the Mazaki's only daughter will be visiting along with her parents. And should the two of not get along on this day we will eventually buy them out of house and home. But let us first try to get along with them as to win their trust before you-know-what will happen. Understood?"
"Yes father. I understand completely." Slightly bowing my body and placing an arm over my stomach.
"Good. Now finish getting dressed, they will be here momentarily and then the two of you will be left alone for a little while to get to know one another."He said this as he was walking out the door, "And make sure that you get her to trust you in some form. Got it?"
"Yes father." That's was all that needed to be said before he shut my door and I found my black button up jacket and black tie. I walked over to the mirror that was placed on my closet door and began to brush my hair making some leaves and twigs fall out. After I had finished I made sure that my outfit looked dressy yet casual, but when I looked again I saw that if we were to go outside it would be too easily ruined by grass stains and I didn't need that happening to one of my best suites. So I quickly took off the outfit and changed into something that could be easily washed or used as a rag should I get rid of it. The outfit I had chosen to wear was my yellow button up shirt with a sweater vest and my blue jeans. With this outfit I could play in it if I wanted to, but otherwise I would hold myself back from childish activities.
I wanted to go check up on mokuba and see how he was fairing with his outfit but I knew that he would be fine. Although I was a little worried that his hair would be full of knots and tangles and only a few maids could get them all out without making him cry. I also knew that if I checked up on him without father's permission he would it so that I would never get out of my studies no matter how far I got in them. I just couldn't risk it at the moment no matter how much I wanted to.
When I had finished tying my black shoes I heard the doorbell ring and stepped out of my room to see the family that had arrived. I knew it was the Mazaki's but when I saw the girl that was to be my bride I could only stare at her for eyes seemed to sparkle like the sky on a clear day, her hair falling down her shoulders and a beautiful dark caramel. Her outfit was a beautiful light purple dress that reached down to her knees and it seemed to make her eyes stand out more.
Behind her stood her parents who looked to be wearing expensive outfits that coordinated with each other. The father wore a dark brown Armani suit with a black tie. And the mother was wearing a pale pink jacket and skirt that went down a little below the knee and a blouse that was white. The family all together looked beautiful, but the daughter stood out the most to me.
When I saw my step-father walking up to the family and shaking the fathers hand and kissing the mother on her hand I quickly ran into my room to change again and this time I stayed in the clothes I had on before and walked out of my room closing the door and waiting at the stop of the stairs until my father introduced me and mokuba. The only problem was that mokuba still hadn't come out of his room yet and I was sure by now that he would be dressed and his hair untangled, but still I waited for the intro to come. I heard my father and the other person who I recall as Cain Mazaki, the CEO of Mazaki Corp. which bought and sold steel to other companies that required there services and that was nearly every day especially to our company because of all the weapons that we produced, they were talking about some kind of business deal that they wanted to discuss but would wait until the "children" had gone out to play.
"Yes you're right Gozaboro. Anzu why don't you wait down here until Seto is finished getting ready."
"Okay daddy."
"Actually I believe that Seto is finished and is just waiting at the top stairs. Aren't you Seto?"
"You are correct father." I said as I started walking down the stairs with my hands at my side, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting Mr. and Mrs. Mazaki." I said this bowing as I had done before when my father entered my room.
"Seto, this is Anzu. Our only daughter and shining jewel." Cain said as he lightly pushed Anzu towards me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Seto. Please take care of me while we are visiting your lovely home." Even as she was curtseying she looked and sounded beautiful. I quickly bowed by head to showed that I also respected her.
When we both looked up at the same time I could see a blush starting to form on her face and she bowed her head which I also did.
"Oh! Isn't that SO cute! Anzu has her first crush."
"MOM!" She said and turned to her mother while there appeared to be bright red cheeks adoring her face.
I looked back at my step-father and all that he did was smirk and said, "Well Cain, Janice why don't we leave these two alone for a little while. And please do not worry for I'll be having a maid watch them while we talk. Will that do?"
The man known as Cain looked at Anzu and then to Gozaboro, "Yes that will do fine Gozaboro. Anzu?"
"Yes papa?"
"Please play nicely with both Seto and Mokuba. Okay?"
"Okay."
"I'm sorry to tell you this Anzu, but young Mokuba has come down with a cold and will not be able to come outside anytime soon."
As she looked down I could see tears starts to form so I quickly thought of a plan. "Say Anzu, why don't we head outside for a bit and have a tea party?"
The tears I saw a few seconds ago lessened and started to evaporate. Then I saw a smile appear in the place of the frown and she nodded. I smiled a little thinking that she would like the outdoor tea party. I held out my hand for her to take and she giggled, placing her hand on top of mine. I led her outside to the garden and showed her around little while the maids got the tea and everything ready. When we got to the roses I picked off a yellow rose that had red tips on it and no thorns.
"Oh Seto! It's beautiful. I love it." And I could see that did because her smile grew and then she hugged me. I started to hug her back but before I could fully put my arms around her I heard a beeping going off from inside my jacket. She pulled back a little so I could answer it and when I did it was the maid telling me that the tea was ready.
"So Anzu? How about that tea now?" I asked holding out my hand again and slightly bowing. I heard her giggle before she answered
"Why I would love that very much." Taking my hand and then placing her arm though mine as we made our way down the path, then she placed her head on my shoulder while we were walking and said, "Seto?"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you so much for everything today. I really have enjoyed it so far."
"It was my pleasure Anzu. I was happy to do it for you." As I looked down to see her face I saw peace and happiness. I don't know what I was feeling at this point but I believe that Anzu was truly happy at this moment. "Say Anzu?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think we should keep this moment a secret in case things don't work out between our families?"
"What do you mean Seto?" When she looked at me I saw fear and concern in her eyes.
"Well I mean what if you or I had to move somewhere really far away and we wouldn't be able to see each other again for a long time."
"Then let's make a promise right here, right now." I felt as though the determination in her eyes matched mine.
"Okay Anzu." I smiled and took out a black box from within my jacket. "Do you Anzu Mazaki take this promise ring as a symbol of what has transpired here today? And do you promise to always wear it, no matter what happens to us?" As I showed her the ring which was a sterling silver ring with a rose on top and the words 'true love waits' engraved on it, I held my breath and waited for her answer.
"Oh Seto! I do! I promise to always wear it." And as she made this promise she pulled out a necklace that held a ring, a sterling silver like mine and it had the word 'love' engraved on it.
"And do you Seto Kaiba this promise ring as a symbol of the love that we shared today? And do you promise to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more every day?"
"Yes I do Anzu." And as we exchanged rings I saw her start to tear up and pulled out a handkerchief and started to wipe the tears from her face. "What's wrong?
"I'm just so happy. I-I-I LOVE YOU SETO!" Just then more tears started to come out and she hugged me tightly and I hugged her back with the same force.
"I love you too Anzu."
I held her chin and brought her lips up to mine. The kiss was slow and sensual, and she tasted like strawberries. I now knew what that feeling was earlier, the feeling that left my heart beating so rapidly that I could barely breathe.
When we ended our kiss Anzu leaned against me and put her head back on my shoulder snuggling into me. I could've stayed like that for years to come knowing that Anzu was mine and I was hers.
Okay I am officially done with this chapter. Why? Because after the final sentence I would like to leave it on a happy note before other stuff happens.
I'm also sorry that I made mokuba sick and not able to be in this chapter. *Bows deeply* Please forgive me.
And on this note I would like to say that with the new Twilight Eclipse movie coming out in about 2 days and a bunch of family and work stuff it may try to keep me from being able to write this story but I will prevail! *Howls*
Well thanks for reading now please review now.
Now please.
GO TEAM JACOB!
