Chapter 2. Enjoy! Italics are Anzu's direct thoughts...
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh...
It was only about noon by the time Anzu reached her parent's house. She hurriedly stowed her bike away inside the garage before running inside.
"Mom! Get off the phone! Dad! Start making arrangements with that landlord about those apartments near my new school!" Anzu yelled at the top of her lungs. "Baby got herself a job!"
Her mother nonchalantly waved at Anzu from the kitchen window, "That's great, baby. Could you quiet down a bit? I have an important conference call right now, and I can't afford to miss any of the information."
Her father just ignored her and continued reading his paper. He knew when Anzu became super excited, one wrong word could and probably would unleash her wrath. Apparently, it was the right move because Anzu harrumphed, left the living room and ran up the stairs into her bedroom.
Anzu plopped herself onto her bed and pulled out her cellphone. She dialed the number quickly, hoping to be the first to get accepted for the job. It rang at least five times before someone picked up.
"Please state your name and age." an old woman's voice said.
Anzu was taken aback by the statement that she forgot to answer.
"Are you another prank caller? You have some nerve you little bi-"
"Wait no! I'm sorry!" Anzu quickly interjected, "My name is Mazaki Anzu, I'm 18 -soon to be 19-, and I would like the babysitting job!"
In the background, Anzu could vaguely make out the sound of many women. One particular woman was whining about wanting to see him. The question marks were floating above Anzu's head. See who?
"You would like the job, would you?" the old woman chuckled, "You'll have to get through me first, then the boss. He's very picky with who gets to watch Mokuba."
Time froze for a minute and Anzu found herself gaping. Did that woman just say Mokuba? Why did that name sound so familiar?
"Um, excuse me ma'am... But did you just say Mokuba? As in Mokuba Kaiba?" Anzu carefully asked. Pleasesayno!Pleasesayno!Pleasesayno!Pleasesayno!Pleasesayno!
"Why yes. Mokuba Kaiba indeed. Didn't you read the fliers?"
Oh shit...
The woman continued, "In any case, if you are interested in the job, please come for a job interview at the main estate. It shouldn't be too hard to find."
Then the woman hung up and left Anzu to regather the fragments of her brain.
"Damn..." she grumbled into her pillow.
That was just her luck. This was the only job she could find that was still open, and it had to be for a jerk's younger brother. Seto Kaiba had for some unknown reason considered himself Yugi's rival and from that day forward, had been incredibly rude to her friends. Herself included of course, just because he considered Anzu 'Yugi's little slut'. And he was ruthless towards the girls who confessed to him. Always turning them down so viciously and managing to insult them all. She would always find girls crying heavily in the bathrooms. She didn't understand why he came to school in the first place when he had his entire future secured already. But she was glad when he didn't come back to school senior year. The rest of her school days were finally peaceful and without mocking. And now...she would have to see the bastard again...
"My luck sucks..." Anzu sighed again.
She was seriously considering giving up the job and just living with her parents instead. She pulled herself out of bed and stomped down the stairs. Her mother was at the bottom.
"Was the job taken, sweetums?" she asked.
"No, mother... It wasn't." she snapped.
Mrs. Mazaki was unfazed, "Then you don't want it?"
"That's a fucking understatement..." Anzu muttered under her breath.
Her mother chuckled, "Anyway, you have guests."
Anzu walked in the living room and found her so called friends sitting there looking remorseful.
"Well, well, well... If it isn't the three assholes who got me fired." she started, "Have you come to rub salt in the wound?"
"We really want to apologize, Anzu!" Yugi exclaimed, "It was wrong of us to read your personal thoughts and to make it up to you, Grandpa says he can give you a job at the shop."
"Yeah, I'm sorry too, Anzu." Jonouchi added.
Honda rubbed his nose, "I didn't read it, but I'm sorry you got fired. You should really take the job at Mr. Moto's shop."
Anzu gaped at them in astonishment. Even though they were being sincere, why did it seem like they were scheming? And that conniving look in Honda's eyes was quite suspicious.
"Thank you for the offer Yugi, but I already found a job."
The boys all looked surprised.
"You already found a job?" Jonouchi asked skeptically, "What is it?"
Anzu mentally face palmed. She had been planning to give up the job, but now she had backed herself into a corner with only one way out.
"Er... It's a babysitting job. In fact...I was just about to go for the interview now!"
"Babysitting?" Honda eyes narrowed, " You? Babysitting? How could you pick up a job like that so quickly? And who are you babysitting anyway?"
Anzu felt like she had really gotten cornered now.
"Erm...Mokuba...Kaiba?"
Jonouchi cracked up, "I'm sorry! But it sounded like you just said Mokuba Kaiba. That bastard's snotty brother!"
"Is it true, Anzu?" Yugi asked curiously.
Anzu laughed nervously, "Of course not! I was totally kidding! It's just some rich family's little snobby son..."
Urgh dammit... Why couldn't I have just lied about the job to begin with?
"Good..." Jonouchi said, "Because I'm not lettin you go anywhere near that creep."
The friends talked for a bit until the boys left wishing her good luck on her interview. Once they had safely gone, Anzu went upstairs, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave.
"Just great... She mumbled. "Now I actually have to take the job..."
She grabbed her mom's car keys while exiting the front door.
"Damn me and my big ol' mouth..."
She entered the car and ignited the engine. She pulled out of her driveway and sped off towards the biggest house in all of Domino.
(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)(PageBreak)
At a quarter past one, she pulled up to the massive gates. A man standing guard there tapped on her window so she rolled it down.
"I'm here for the job interview." she drawled.
He smirked, "Oh I see... Another bitch who wants to get a glimpse of Mr. Kaiba, huh?"
That did it... She didn't know what the hell was going on inside that house, but one thing was for sure. She could not tolerate getting insulted by Kaiba himself, much less his stupid employees. She put the car on park, ripped open the door, and stepped out. She took pleasure in the fact that she was half a head taller than the man because of her platform sandals. She grabbed his collar and pulled his face close.
"Listen well you little shit..." she whispered angrily, "Every day of my high school life was living hell because of rumors that devil's spawn spread. Anzu's a whore this. Anzu's a slut that. That's all I would ever hear in the hallways. I could care less about him and his shitty little brother. The only reason I'm here right now is because I need the money. You. Got. That?"
She gave him a little shake when he didn't answer. He looked so scared when he nodded quickly. She laughed in her head. He probably never had a girl act like that to him before. She let go of him and reentered the car. He quickly opened the gate, and she drove through. There was a long cobblestone driveway surrounded by a large garden filled with an assortment of lilies and grounds were extensive and the trees were in full bloom, shining in bright greens. She opened her window and sniffed in the refreshing summer scent. As she neared the house, her car was directed around a large fountain. Once she reached it, a parker gave her a number and took her car away. She walked towards the front door feeling completely confused. This process seemed almost too formal for being a simple job interview.
She rang the doorbell and it suddenly opened. A young girl about 16 years of age burst out in tears. She saw Anzu and sneered.
"Don't bother. He'll turn you down without so much as a glance."
Anzu rolled her eyes and walked inside. There was an elaborately decorated hallway leading down towards a large room that held many women. As Anzu entered the grand living room, she immediately felt out of place. All these women were dressed in their best dresses with full make-up and well coiffed hair. Anzu had just throw on a halter and shorts. This was quite weird. It didn't seem like an interview for a babysitting job. It seemed like some kind of reality TV show in which a man chooses the best woman for him. She finally looked down at the number she had received. It read 118F.
118F out of what?...
"Do you think you'll win them over with your down to earth look, little girl?" A busty brunette sauntered over to her, "I've been there and done that. Trust me. It doesn't work. He wants a beauty."
Anzu rolled her eyes, "It's not even about what Kaiba wants, it's for his kid brother. And anyway he probably doesn't want some fake ass bitch like you."
Hearing the commotion, two other women walked over.
A blond glared at Anzu, "And how would you know what he wants? You're just a little slut who came to get some action aren't you?"
"And why are you talking about him with such informality, you whore?" another woman added.
Anzu sighed mentally. What had she gotten herself into? Besides, what did she care what type of women were his preference.
"Erm... Excuse me..." Anzu muttered quietly.
She left the room and walked back down the decorated hallway. She could hear those retched women laughing in the background, but she didn't care.
It was a fucking mistake to come here... What the hell am I doing?
She was about to leave, but then she felt her bladder tighten dangerously.
I'll take a quick piss before I leave...
She walked up a staircase she had seen earlier while she was walking down the hallway. She climbed up the many flights of steps until she finally she reached a landing with green walls and many doors.
"May I help you, young lady?" a butler walking by asked her.
Anzu jumped. She hadn't thought anybody would appear. Now she would have to explain herself.
"Um excuse me, but where can I find a restroom?"
The butler frowned, "There is a designated restroom for the ladies being interviewed on the first floor."
"I didn't know that! I just came here!" Anzu tried to explain.
The butler looked at her skeptically. "How do I know you weren't just trying to 'accidentally' run into Mr. Kaiba?"
Anzu rolled her eyes, "Just great...What is with all you people thinking that I came to see that asshole. I dunno what the hell is going on, but I really could care less about seeing him. I just want the money. Now can you please just tell me where the restroom is so I can go? I'M ABOUT TO FUCKING SPILL IN MY PANTS!"
The butler's eyes widened causing a contradiction to his stoic face. He quickly told her to go down the hall, take a left and then up only one flight of steps. The restroom should be the first door to the left. Anzu reacted so fast that she didn't even bother to pay attention to the majority of his directions. She raced down the hallway at lightening speed and took an immediate left at the end. She continued to run until she reached the stairs and climbed them. However, her jumbled thoughts prevented her from remembering that the butler had said one flight of steps. She climbed up about three before she finally exited and entered the first door to the right.
In her frenzy, she quickly unbuckled her shorts and sat her ass on the toilet seat. She sighed in relief after the liquid passed. After wiping her bottom and flushing, she pulled up her shorts and buckled them. That's when she heard a shower going off and noticed the fog in the entire room.
"Mokuba? Why are you in my bathroom?" A deep masculine voice called out.
Anzu's eyes widened in fear. She recognized that voice anywhere. That intense, sensual drawl that stimulated your senses. And then before she could say anything, out walked Kaiba in all his blue eyed glory wearing nothing but a thin, tiny bath towel wrapped around his waist.
"AAAAH!" Anzu screamed while turning around quickly. She hoped he hadn't seen her face. Not just because she was blushing a deeper red than a firetruck, but also because he would probably never let her live it down if he realized that 'Yugi's little slut' had been in his bathroom.
"WHAT THE HELL? WHO ARE YOU? GET THE FUCK OUT!" He shouted.
She didn't need to be told twice. She ripped out the door and tore down those steps two at a time. From there, she retraced her steps until she reached the living room once again.
Oh wait... she realized, I was just about to leave.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, number 118F was called. Anzu stopped herself from moving.
I'll just wait to see how this plays out... I am kinda interested...
Okay. That was an understatement. She was a lot interested. Especially after seeing Kaiba in almost nakedness. Quickly shaking her head to clear it of those images, she walked over to the side room located to the left. Those three women from earlier were standing near the entrance of the smaller room.
"Well, well. Look who it is. That little bitch from earlier." one woman jeered.
The other one tried to trip Anzu by sticking her foot out, but Anzu avoided it and stepped directly on the woman's shoe.
"OW! You little slut! These shoes are brand new!"
Anzu ignored her and walked right into the room, now determined to beat all those stupid women in there and get the job. Whether she wanted to babysit or not.
Okay! Now the fun really starts! Kaiba/Anzu meeting next chapter!
