Mokuba's First Love

Chapter 7: The Pharaoh and his Queen

Mokuba lay there in the clearing, before it finally dawned on him. He rushed back to his house, Naomi's backpack still in hand. He needed to tell the others. Even if they didn't believe him, he needed to tell them. After everyone had assembled in his house, seated on couches, Mokuba cleared his throat.

"You might not believe what I'm about to tell you. But I will anyway." Mokuba said, before taking a deep breath.

"What is it?" Shizuka asked. Mokuba rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Well... Naomi forgot her bag and I ran out to go find her and give it back to her." Mokuba began, when someone interrupted.

"What happened? Naomi doesn't strike me as forgetful." Mai commented. Mokuba ducked his head in embarrassment.

"I kissed her on the cheek." Mokuba said.

SILENCE

And then everyone burst into cheers, whistles, and hoots. "Go Mokuba!!!" Jounouchi shouted, but shut up when Seto glared daggers at him. Mokuba blushed and called for everyone's attention again.

"But why would you think we wouldn't believe you kissed Naomi?" Honda asked. Mokuba shook his head.

"That's not it. Let me continue." Mokuba replied. He took silence as a consent to continue, and went on. "After she ran out, I followed her into the forest behind my house. I stumbled and tripped into a clearing, landing on my knees. I was in the middle of telling her she forgot her bag when I looked up and…" Mokuba trailed off.

"And?" Anzu egged on.

"And I saw an angel with wings." Mokuba said. "That angel... was Naomi."

Silence reigned over them, until Otogi began to laugh.

"Good one Mokuba! I thought for a moment there you said Naomi was an angel! She can't be! She has to have wings!" Otogi exclaimed, but shut up immediately after Mokuba looked him dead in the eye with a stare that freaked him out.

"I'm not kidding. She has wings. She's an angel."

"That's... not possible." Yugi spoke up. "Is it?"

"I believe it is."

They all looked towards Yami. His elbows were leaning on his knees, and his hands supported his head. He stared out into nothing.

"When I first met Naomi, I knew something about her was off. The thing that gave it away the most... was her aura." Seto looked funnily at him.

"Her aura?" He questioned. Yami nodded.

"I've told Yugi this, but she has no aura. At all." Yami said. Yugi nodded. "It's a possibility she is an angel."

The tension was so thick; you could cut it with a knife. Mokuba hung his head.

"I can't believe this. But, I know it's true. Naomi's an angel." Mokuba growled and clutched his head in frustration. "This can't be happening!"

Everyone quickly went home, and Mokuba went to sleep, going to school the next day normally.

"Anzu. Would you like me to walk you home? I don't think you can carry all those books by yourself." Yami offered. Anzu smiled at him.

"Thanks for offering Yami." She said, before he relieved her of some of the books.

"So why all these books?" He asked her as they walked to her house. Anzu sighed.

"Big project coming up, and I want to do really well on it." Anzu told him.

"I see..." Yami answered. They arrived at her house, and Yami helped her put all the books inside her house. Then they both walked back to the front door, and Anzu smiled at Yami.

"Thanks for helping me." Anzu said. Yami waved it off.

"No problem. It was my pleasure." He said. They looked at each other for a bit. Anzu's gaze rested on his lips.

'I wonder what they feel like...' She thought. And before she realized, Anzu quickly swept her lips across his in a chaste, but sweet, kiss. When she realized, Anzu blushed and covered her mouth. "I-I'm sorry!" She said, before slamming the door. Yami touched his lips for a moment, before smirking and walking off. Anzu heard his footsteps, and sighed, placing her hand over her heart; burning with embarrassment.

She walked back up to her room, falling down onto the bed. "Why did I do that?" She wondered aloud, touching her lips. "It felt nice though..." Anzu murmured. She sighed and rolled onto her side, closing her eyes and taking a quick nap.

Yami looked around the area, trying to find Anzu. He needed to talk to her.

Anzu, however, avoided him at all costs. She couldn't bear to face him after what happened yesterday. Her face burned when she thought about it.

"Anzu!! Come one!" Shizuka called her over to their group of friends. School was over, and Mai was there as well - she just got off work. Anzu ran over, avoiding looking Yami in the eye at all costs.

"Let's go to the game shop!" Jounouchi exclaimed. Everyone nodded.

"You guys go ahead. I need to talk to Anzu. Alone." Yami spoke up. Everyone began to walk away, seeing no problem with it.

"Don't take too long!" Yugi called. Yami nodded and Yugi ran off. Anzu fidgeted and looked down at the ground. She squeaked as Yami dragged her into the school and into a deserted classroom. Anzu resisted slightly, until he backed her against an open window.

"Yami!" Anzu protested, trying to push against him. Yami wouldn't relent, and merely held her tighter in his arms. "Yami what are you-" She was interrupted by warm lips that pressed against hers. Her eyes widened, and she stopped struggling. Closing her eyes, Anzu surrendered to the feeling and kissed back. After they broke apart, Yami smiled warmly at her. She blushed.

"Thank you Anzu." He said. Anzu was puzzled.

"For what?" She asked. Yami rested his forehead against hers.

"Thank you for teaching me to love. And for giving me love in return." Yami answered, before catching her lips in another sweet kiss.

And as their lips touched, small emeralds began to fall on them, disappearing the instant they got there; along with the golden dust that fell with it. A floating being was descended high above them; yet her blessings still reached them.

'I wish yourself, and the Queen, good fortune Pharaoh. Your love really did transcend time.'
