Disclaimer: *the usual one* + JZ-L0ves_Atemu does not own the song つなみ (Tsunami) by Southern All Stars. From which the title came.
Summary: Anzu realizes that her feelings for Yami Yugi are as overwhelming as a tsunami, will she confess them, and possibly be rewarded in return.
Notes: dedicated to Kimihiko Nomura-sensei, chair of the CSU Chico Japanese department. NOT PART OF ANY STORYLINE SO FAR PRESENTED IN "Viva la Revolutionshipping". Song fic.
The storyline for the most part translates the song.
Anzu stood on the balcony of the beach house she and her friends had rented. The wind whipped around her as she gazed out over the waves. Sighing she slipped her earphones in and starting up her iPod, the song was "Tsunami" by Southern All Stars. The song her dance teacher had suggested she dance to for the upcoming recital.
Flashback
"Mazaki-san," Rika-sensei had said "you haven't chosen your music for the recital. You're my best student, what's wrong?" Anzu shook her head, "it's nothing, but you said 'Imagine that there is someone really special, and pick a song that reflects your feelings for that person.'." Her sensei nodded, "Anzu, when I said that, who came into your mind?"
She blushed as her sensei could easily guess her feelings for the ancient Pharaoh.
"How about Southern All Stars' hit 'Tsunami'?" Rika-sensei asked, handing her the lyrics…
End flashback
That's my sensei's special ability, to read the heart and choose the best song to express it. Anzu mused.
Without further hesitation she pressed play
kaze ni tomadou yowakina boku
toorisugaru ano hi no kage
hontou wa mita me ijou namida moroi kako ga aru
Anzu closed her eyes as she started to dance. Letting the wind take her away, and into the shadowy mysteries of their past. As the memories flitted through her mind, both good times, like the dates they shared, and the bad times, such as when he was defeated in the ceremonial duel. Tears came unbidden as she realized that she had never told him her feelings.
tomedo nagareru sayaka mizu yo
kesedo moyuru mashou no hi yo
anna ni sukina hito ni
deau natsu wa nido to nai
This time will be different. She smiled, in her heart the fiery love she carried ignited once again into the flames of passion. For now I can finally confess my feelings to him. She glided down the stairs and onto the sandy beach. All of these years, since the time he took over my bestfriend's body to save me. Once I heard his deep voice (A/N: Thank You Dan Green! Yami's voice is incredibly sexy) say "Let's play a game" nothing was ever the same.
hito wa dare mo ai motomete
yami ni samayou sadame
soshite kaze makase Oh, My destiny
namida kareru made
Yami looked up from his teaching duel with Mokuba, He saw Anzu heading toward the beach. Nodding to Mokuba and Yugi he quickly slipped into the shadows and followed.
She stopped as the waves caressed her feet, "Was it my destiny to meet and fall in love with you Yami?" she whispered, little knowing the man of her dreams could sense her every thought. (A/N: Yami is a magical man) She shook her head sending little tears into the surf.
mitsumeau to sunao ni oshaberi dekinai
tsunami no youna wabishisa ni
I know.. obieteru, Hoo..
meguriaeta toki kara mahou ga tokenai
kagami no youna yume no naka de
"I love you," she whispered resuming her dance. "I just wish I could look into your amethyst depths and say it without looking like a complete idiot." The memory of them following Bobasa in the Domino Museum where she nearly confessed flashed in her mind. I just couldn't say what was in my heart. She realized. It's like I'm cursed in an unstoppable dream.
omoide wa itsu no hi mo ame
"But will I ever get to tell you how I feel?" she asked tears beginning to cascade down her cheeks.
yume ga owari mezameru toki fukai yami ni yoake ga kuru
hontou wa mitame ijou utarezuyoi boku ga iru
Anzu quickened her dance, feeling reenergized. From what she didn't know or care
nakidashisouna sora nagamete nami ni tadayou kamome
kitto yo wa nakase Oh, sweet memory
tabidachi wo mune ni.
One glance upward and she felt wetness pool in her eyes. She didn't know if it was the upcoming storm or just the storm in her heart. "Oh, Sweet Memory" she whispered feeling oddly cold and warm at the same time. Her mind focused on the now soul searching dance.
Yami followed in hot persuit, he could sense something was going to happen. And he had to be there for her.
hito wa namida misezu ni otona ni narenai
Glass no youna koi da to wa
I know.. kizuiteru, Hoo..
mi mo kokoro mo itoshii hito shika mienai
harisakesouna mune no oku de
kanashimi ni taeru no wa naze?
She was consumed by her dance, that she didn't hear his cry as a huge wave crested on the beach taking her with it. Her last thought as she was pulled into the glassy water was He's my one true love, will I see him again in the afterlife?
Summoning Yugi to the beach to be ready, Yami dove headfirst into the waves. The shadow magic surrounding him transformed him into a merman. He swam deeper into the waves following her sinking body. Anzu, my queen, you will see me again in this life, not the next. He sent, the gods have sent me back for some reason. I will not let you die. Once his hands touched her skin, he clutched her to his chest and swam back to the beach.
mitsumeau to sunao ni oshaberi dekinai
tsunami no youna wabishisa ni
I know.. obieteru, Hoo..
meguriaeta toki kara shinu made suki to itte
kagami no youna yume no naka de
He lay her down on the towel Yugi had laid on the sand. Aibou, I'll give her the kiss of life* while you press on her chest to get the water out. He sent. Yugi nodded as they began two-man CPR, unaware of their friends circling them.
Yami checked her pulse as Yugi clenched his hands together and began compressing her chest. The Pharaoh's face steeled in determination. Anzu, he sent catching her subconscious thoughts, come back to us, come back to me! He tilted her head back and lowered his head to where his lips met hers. He breathed into her twice to no avail. "27 28 29 30" Yugi chanted as he finished up one cycle. He looked at Yami. The Pharaoh shook his head indicating that they should switch places. Yugi nodded and after still no pulse, Yami started compressing her chest. "Anzu… you… will… not… die! Your… pharaoh… forbids… it!" He chanted in rhythm to the compressions. Two minutes later they switched again Yami's lips met hers again. Anzu coughed as he released her lips. He heard her cough and felt a pulse. They rolled her onto her side as she coughed up about ten gallons of water. Her eyes fluttered open and locked onto his deep Amethyst ones. Yami, were you crying over me? She thought, shocked at his tears. Yami held her to his chest "The gods brought me back for a reason that will reveal itself in time. It has revealed itself when I thought I might have lost you." He cried into her shoulder. "Yes, my queen I love you, as much as you love me."
hohoemi wo kureta no wa dare?
She blushed at his calling her his queen. "Looks like you saved me again." She whispered before her lips were caught by his in a passionate kiss.
suki nanoni naita no wa naze?
Unnoticed tears fell from her eyes as the world faded away from their minds. All that existed was the secret love both of their souls had hidden for millennia.
omoide wa itsu no hi mo... ame
She had never danced a more moving, soul searching, dance. Yami decided as the audience gave Anzu a standing ovation. As the audience applauded her eyes met his and she motioned him to join her on stage. Once he did she held him as close as he held her. Their lips met once again as the tsunami of love overwhelmed as their souls wed for all eternity.
