Chapter 2: Jonouchi's Plan
-
After Shizuka left, Anzu decided to take a bath to clear her thoughts. The warm water felt good on her aching body, for she had fallen twice on her trek home, and on top of that, fell asleep on the floor. As she relaxed in the tub, Anzu tried to think of other things, like her dance recital that was coming up, or tests she had to make up due to the Battle City Tournament. But, she always managed to come back to one thing, or to be more precise, one person. That person was Atemu. Anzu let out a huge sigh.
'I can't get him off my mind,' she thought sinking deeper into the bubbly water. After talking with Shizuka, the words that she told her stuck with Anzu.
'Don't give up!'
'Don't Give Up. But, how can I ever face Atemu again? Let alone Yuugi. I just ran out on him. He must be so worried,' her mind raced. 'Oh, I hope he doesn't hate me too.'
"Damn it! What did you get yourself into Anzu?" She scolded herself, looking up at the hazy ceiling.
X, X, X,
Yuugi stared blankly at the puzzle, mentally yelling at it.
'Mou Hitori no Boku! Please, can you hear me? What's wrong? I know we can find the solution! Talk to me…'
"…Please." He whispered, trying to hold back tears. Just then, the phone rang, causing him to jump.
'Maybe it's Anzu.' Yuugi vaguely thought picking up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Yuugi!" familiar voice replied.
"Jonouchi, it's you!" Yuugi said happily to his best friend.
"Yeah, Shizuka said that you called, and were looking for me."
"Umm, about that," Yuugi started to whisper. "Are you alone?"
"I'm gonna be in a second." Jonouchi motioned to Shizuka to leave. "Okay, now what's this all about?"
"Well, you see…today, I set up Anzu and Atemu to go out again, and when we got back to the shop…" Yuugi trailed off.
"Okay, What happened?"
After a minute of silence, Yuugi was the first to talk.
"That's the problem. I don't know." He admitted truthfully, sulking a bit.
"Eh? How couldn't you know? Don't you and Atemu share that mind link thing?" Jonouchi asked in shock.
"We do, but all I remember is everything before we entered the game shop. Then, I blacked out, if that's even possible."
There was another moment of silence, while the two were in deep thought. This time Jonouchi spoke up.
"When did you change back?"
"That's the problem. After I changed back, Anzu was crying, and Atemu wouldn't speak to me. Anzu then ran out, and I haven't heard from her since."
"Hmm… Well, she's going to have to be at school tomorrow right?" Jonouchi said, smirking a bit.
"What are you getting at?" Yuugi asked suspiciously.
Jonouchi snickered. "I have the perfect idea!" he exclaimed. "Why don't you ask her out?"
Yuugi blushed a deep shade of red, his heart starting to pound rapidly.
"M-Me? Ask her out? A-Are you sure?" he stuttered.
"Yuugi, I know what I'm talking about. I'm the master at this kind of stuff," Jonouchi boasted.
'Oh, really?' Yuugi thought sweat dropping.
"What I'm saying is for you to actually go out with her. Not Atemu." He added.
"What if she says no…" Yuugi stated with worry.
"Now, she wouldn't do that, if it's not a "date". Ask if she wants to hang out after school. You know, get a bite to eat and that kind of stuff. Think of it as trying to get information about today, like a spy!"
"Is this really a good idea?"
"Trust me, besides you already have a crush on her an-"
"N-No I don't!" Yuugi yelled, his face becoming even redder.
Jonouchi just laughed. "Yes you do, don't deny it."
"…Is it that obvious?" the young boy finally admitted, after another few minutes of silence.
"Well, yeah it is." Jonouchi said bluntly.
Yuugi had been spending a lot of time around Anzu, whether it was at school, or around town. To tell the truth, he actually had no idea that he liked Anzu in that way until today. And now that Jonouchi mentioned it, the only real "date" Yuugi and Anzu ever went on was at the amusement park, which in the end got destroyed to a serial bomber.
"So, I take it that you're going to do it." Jonouchi said, smiling.
"Umm…I don't know…"
"C'mon Yuugi!"
"I'll…I'll think about it." Yuugi tried to reason with his friend.
Jonouchi sighed, defeated. "Fine. Just don't blame me if you can't ever find the perfect opportunity to confess your love." He joked.
"Thank you Jonouchi, I feel better now."
"Hey, no prob. That's what friends are for, right?"
Yuugi smiled. "Okay, I better get going. See you tomorrow."
"Bye!"

Yuugi grabbed the puzzle, and resumed his spot on the bed having a staring contest with the puzzle.
"What happened today?" Yuugi asked the golden puzzle. "You don't think…no, that's stupid." The young boy shook his head. "Ugh, should I go through with this?" Yelling from downstairs interrupted his thoughts.
"Yuugi, Dinner!" An elderly man yelled.
"Coming Grandpa!" Yuugi replied slipping the Millennium Puzzle over his head.
X, X, X,
Anzu sat herself down on the couch, and turned on the television, with a bowl of rice. Since her parents weren't home, she could eat where and what she wanted. Flipping through the channels, Anzu found a live ballet.
"If all fails, watch T.V." Anzu chuckled to herself, remembering all of her father's "words of wisdom". She missed her parents dearly, and always counted the days until they came home, something she did ever since she was a child. Picking at the rice, Anzu was trying to think how to handle her current problem.
'Hmm…apparently Yuugi doesn't know what happened between me and Atemu, but how is that possible? I thought Yuugi heard and saw everything he did, and visa versa. Unless Atemu had a way of cutting Yuugi off. Why would he do that though?'
Anzu mentally slapped herself. 'What I should really be thinking about is how I'm going to face Yuugi tomorrow. Out of all of us, he's probably suffering the most.'
Then, she thought of what Shizuka had told her.
'Don't give up.'
Anzu deeply sighed. "I'm sorry…"
X, X, X,
While Jonouchi was talking to Yuugi, Shizuka was able to sneak behind a tall plant conveniently located next to the bedroom door. Even though she never believed in eavesdropping herself, curiosity had gotten the best of her. There, she heard everything about how Yuugi loved Anzu, to her brother's plan.
After Jonouchi hung up the phone, he pointed to the plant.
"Shizuka I know you're there."
"H-How?" The younger sibling asked, disappointed.
"I have eyes in the back of my head." Jonouchi laughed. In a more serious tone he asked, "How much did you hear?"
"…Everything?" Shizuka smiled slightly.
"Ugh! Shizuka you're the absolute last person I would think to listen into other people's conversations." Jonouchi sighed, rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm so sorry!" Shizuka nearly cried. "I'll never do it again! I promise!"
Jonouchi's stomach growled, cutting off Shizuka's pleas.
The two siblings laughed, until Shizuka managed to say something.
"What is for dinner?"
And then there was silence . . .
