Chapter 3: Questions and Answers
The school bell rung indicating that the first period class has ended. The maths teacher stood, placing his paperwork in his suitcase. After he was done packing his things away, he headed for the door.
Turning back to face the class, he said(1), "I'll see you all on Wednesday."
As the teacher left for the class, the students began to talk to one other. They could only chat for about ten minutes before the next teacher arrived. Both Anzu and Honda were sitting in the same area of the classroom, Honda sitting in front of the brunette.
"That kyouyu (2) was a hard teacher," Honda said as he turned around to complain to Anzu. "He gave us a quiz on the first day of school. I'm sure that I feiru (3) that quiz."
Anzu smirked at her friend. "What are you complaining about? That quiz was easy. I'm sure I passed it with flying colors."
Honda gave Anzu an annoyed look, knowing that shehad definitely passed that test because not only was she good at dancing, but she was great at maths too.
Whilst Anzu and Honda continued talking, Yuugi entered the classroom with a nervous look on his face. He hoped no one would notice him and get out of their seats to meet him. As he walked into the room, a relieved look spread across his face when he saw both Anzu and Honda were busy talking. He quickly took a seat next to Anzu's right side.
"Hi, Anzu-chan, Honda-kun." He greeted.
"Hi, Yuugi."Anzu and Honda greeted back, happy to see that they had a class with him this year. This lesson was about to get a lot more interesting.
Yuugi leaned over at Anzu and said, "Anzu, can we talk outside?"
"What for?"Anzu asked. A nervous thought came into her mind.She hoped Yuugi wasn't planning on trying to ask her out on a date again. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if he became heartbroken over her.
Yuugi noticed the nervous look on Anzu's face. He said reassuringly, "I just need to talk to you about something private."
Anzu looked into Yuugi's eyes for a few moments, noticing that he was talking about something serious. "All right. Let's go."
As both teenagers were standing up and about to leave the room, Honda -who hadn't paid any attention to their little conversation - shouted, "Yuugi, good luck on asking Anzu out on a date!"
Hearing that sudden out-burst made everyone in the class look over at a blushing Yuugi and an upset Anzu, which caused them to mumble amongst one another. Yuugi only gave a nervous laugh but Anzu managed to quickly grab him by the arm, hurriedly pulling him out of the classroom. She slammed the door shut behind them.
"I'm going to kill Honda for that," she growled angrily.
Yuugi looked up at one of his best friends, and his crush. "Anzu-chan, I saw something very odd in physical education whilst I was running."
That got Anzu's attention. "What did you see that was odd?"
Yuugi averted his gaze. "I saw…I saw Arisu…your sister…playing basketball." He said it quickly, not wanting to see her reaction.
"Are you sure?" Anzu gasped in surprise.
"Hai." Answered Yuugi. He suddenly asked, "Did Arisu return from New York?" He looked up at the brunette for her answer.
Anzu looked down on the ground for a few moments, wondering if she should tell Yuugi about her otokooya's health. She slowly looked up at Yuugi after a few moments. "I'm sorry but I don't know...I only got word that my father is very sick in America right now. The letter didn't say anything about my sister coming back to Domino."
"What's wrong with your father?"Yuugi asked kindly with a sad look in his face. He knew Anzu used to be close to her father before he left to work in America. He wondered if it was a serious illness.
Anzu bite her lip, trying to hold back the tears that were prickling the corners of her eyes. She replied in a shaky voice, "My father was diagnosed with stomach cancer about a year ago. He's dying, Yuugi."
A few tears managed to break free and silently slipped down her cheeks. Not knowing what else he could do, Yuugi stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, enveloping her in a hug to try to comfort her.
"Sumimasen (4), Anzu-chan."
As the two were hugging, the teacher finally came but stopped when she saw Yuugi and Anzu.
"Is she all right?" She asked gently, approaching them.
Anzu was crying loudly now. Yuugi looked over at his Language Arts teacher and answered for them both."She just heard that her father is dying in hospital. Can I take her to the restroom for her to wash her face?"
"Of course," the teacher answered sympathetically. "Just give me your names so I won't mark you two absent."
"Thank you," Yuugi smiled at the teacher.
Meanwhile, Jounochi was heading to his maths class. On the way, he stopped to get a drink of water. As he walked over to the water fountain, he found a girl was already there. He decided to wait for her to finish drinking. Whilsthe was waiting, Jounochi's mind began to wonder. He soon found himself thinking about lunch, which was nothing usual. But his attention was soon brought back to the girl. She was still drinking. Jounochi was growing impatient. He reached forward and tapped her on back.
"Excuse me but when will you be done?" Jounochi asked in a huff."I'm going to be late for class at this rate!"
The girl with long hair stopped drinking the water and turned around. Jounochi jumped back in surprise. The girl in front of him looked exactly like Anzu, only with longer hair.
"Anzu?" he gasped.
"Wrong." Arisu answered, glaring at Jounochi not only because he was annoying, but because she blamed him too for taking Anzu away from her.
Jounochi blinked clueless-ly. "Sorry, but you look just like one of my friends an-"
"Did you just tell me to hurry up?"Arisu asked in a deadly tone of voice. She didn't appreciate someone to tell her to hurry up, especially a boy.
Jounochi felt uncomfortable at the sound of her voice. Putting on his "tough guy" act, he said, "Yeah, I told you to hurry up."Seeing that she was done drinking water, he moved towards the water fountain.
But Arisu stuck out her hands and stopped him.
"You don't tell me what to do, boy!"
She punched him in the stomach and did a back flip, knocking him to the ground. Jounochi groaned at he landed painfully on the hard floor. His hand came up and rubbed his sore stomach. But before he could get up or say anything, a voice shouted down the corridor.
"Jounochi-kun!"
"Yuugi?"Jounochi looked up to see Yuugi rushing towards him. He quickly looked back to where Arisu was standing. She was gone.
"What happened?" Yuugi asked, kneeling beside him. Who knew taking Anzu to the bathroom would lead to this?
Jounochi's gaze moved away from Yuugi. He looked angrily at the girl beside him.
"You mesuinu!" (5)
He quickly stood up and ran over to Anzu, mistaking her for Arisu. He punched her in the face. Anzu screamed and fell to the ground. As Jounchi was about to hit Anzu a second time, Yuugi stepped in the way and stopped him.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Yuugi yelled at the blonde. "Why are you hitting Anzu-chan!?"
Jouncho froze, confused by Yuugi's statement. He looked up at Anzu. She had blood trickling out over the side of her mouth. It was then that Jounochi noticed that her hair was shorter than the girl that had punched him. He knelt down beside Anzu, suddenly feeling very, very guilty.
"I'm so sorry Anzu! I didn't mean to hit you."
Anzu wiped the blood from the side of her mouth. "Why did you hit me?"
"Because you look just like the girl that hit me earlier," Jounichi answered. Anzu and Yuugi both looked up. Did Jounochi mean Arisu?
"Did she have long hair that reached all the way to her hips?" Yuugi asked curiously.
"Hai."Jounochi nodded, not wanting to admit that the girl actually impressed him because she knew how to punch. Anzu looked at Yuugi with a worried expression on her face. Yuugi returned the look, both wondering if Jounochi had saw Arisu or not.
Meanwhile, in the language arts class, the teacher was assigning the class to read. As she was doing so, the door open and a girl with long brunette hair walked in.
The teacher looked up. "Are you feeling all right?"
The girl was silent. It was then that the teacher noticed that Yuugi wasn't around. She asked curiously, "Where's Yuugi?"
The girl only looked at the teacher with a confused looked on her face. "I'm sorry, but I think you have me confused with my twin sister."
Hearing the word 'twin', the teacher got out a small clipboard. She adjusted her round glasses. "What's your name?"
"My name is Arisu Mazaki," Arisu answered with a smile.
Hearing the last name 'Mazaki', Honda looked up to the front of classroom. He gasped as his eyes landed on the Anzu clone. He never knew Anzu had a sister, especially a twin.
The teacher smiled when she saw the girl on the list. "All right, take your seat."
Arisu went to the far end of the classroom near the window. She sat down and looked outside, not paying attention to her surroundings at all. She didn't even noticed Honda staring at her in disbelief.

After Anzu had cleaned up, she and Yuugi walked back to their class whilst Jounochi stayed at the office to get a pass back to class. When Anzu and Yuugi returned back to class, both were wildly surprised to see the girl with long brown hair standing up reading to the class the book she had in her hands.
"Arisu?" Anzu yelled out in surprise.
The whole class turned towards Anzu. Arisu looked up from her book, almost dropping it in surprise when she saw Anzu. She wasn't expecting to have the same class as her twin.She had wanted to surprise Anzu. But that was ruin now.
"Anzu?" Arisu said quietly, a few tears falling down her cheeks.
At that moment, Anzu ran towards to her sister, giving her a tight hug. Tears were falling down her own cheeks. Arisu didn't hug Anzu back at all. Instead, she looked over her twin's shoulder and glared at Yuugi with a deadly look. Yuugi swallowed nervously, staring back with a nervous look in his eyes. He wondered if she still remembered the day that he broke her heart and discovered that he loved Anzu. But that was so long ago. Surely she must be over that by now, right? Right?
The whole class applauded for the sisters but Anzu didn't notice.
Meanwhile, at Domino Airport, walking out from port A12 coming from France was a young women in her late-twenties with short night black hair. Her cold blue eyes were searching around the airport, looking for something.She carried her dark brown suitcase in her hand. Looking to her side, she saw a guard wearing a black suit with dark sunglasses holding up a sign with her name on it. The women walked over to the man.
"Are you Moreau-san?" The man asked.
"Hai," the women answered with a heavy French accent. She allowed the man to take her suitcase and followed him out of the airport. She looked up at the sky."Mr. Yuugi Mutou," she pondered. "Hmmm...The infamous King of Games, and the winner of the ceremonial battle. He lives here, no?"
The driver nodded his head. "Right now, he's a senior in Domino High School." He led the woman to the car, opening to door for her.
The women gave a smile. "That gives me time to go visit an old friend of mine. Take me to Kaiba Corp." She climbed into the car.
"Hai,"the driver answered. He closed the door, quickly placed the woman's suitcase in the boot, and slipped into the driver's seat. He started up the engine, and pulled away. But it was then that a thought crossed his mind. "Mr. Kaiba is at school, right now."
"No matter. I'll just wait for him." The woman sighed. She looked out the window, whilst touching her gold bracelet. A Chinese sign made out of jade was in the middle of the piece of jewellery. The woman smiled. She knew that soon, she will get what she needed from the one person that can help her bring back the 'nameless Pharaoh.'
