CHAPTER 6:
Duke and Yami were discussing the situation.
-So, you don't know nothing, anything?
-This is… I can't think. What reason could have Seto to do this to me? I don't get it.
-But I'm not saying that it was him.
-Something tells me that Seto has to do with this. But I couldn't imagine what his reasons were.
-I could.
-What?
-That thing around your neck that you hide.
-My millennium item?
-Yes, didn't you say to me that since you wore that item, you gained estranges powers like reading minds?
-Well… yes.
-Think about it. Seto always have been kind of ambitious by the power and the money. What happens when it presents him a great opportunity of getting physical power like this? – said Duke signaling with his hand to the item around Yami's neck.
-He took it. By all means necessary – he said thinking about it.
-Exactly. What do you know about your item? And how did you get it?
-I only know that is natural from Egypt and that have strange powers. It is the only thing that is left of my real family. That's all.
-I would investigate about it and then I will tell you. Open your eyes Yami. You must not trust in him or anybody since today, including Mokuba, he's like his brother. Be alert and search for clues, and everything you can find out. I will help you.
-Thanks for telling me Duke, and to be a best friend, I owe you one.
-Don't worry.
-How could you take these papers? I don't want you to be in trouble for me.
-Don't worry. I can handle this.
Duke took the papers and kept them into the carpet.
-Well, I have to go before I really get in trouble. We are talking ok.
-Ok. Thanks again. Bye
-Take care – said Duke saying good bye with his hand and walking through the door.
-I will – whispered Yami to himself.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon and Anzu was so tired that she was so glad that it was that time. She left all organized and went to change and say good bye to her friend.
-Well Serenity, I'm going now.
-Wait for me. I'm almost ready.
-Ok.
Anzu sat up in a chair while she waits for her friend. In that moment came to her mind the strange incident she had with the model. She wanted to ask him how did he do that but he didn't let her. That guy was really amazing. She couldn't stop thinking in him.
-Hello. Earth to Anzu. Is somebody in that little brain of yours?? – said Serenity moving her hand in front of her face to snap Anzu out of his trance.
-Eh…What?
-I said that I'm ready to go. What are you thinking about? Or better, who are you thinking about? You are so thoughtful.
-No, it's nothing. I'm just tired.
-I'm your best friend. You don't know how to lie. Relax, if you don't want to tell me, it's ok.
-No, it's not that… it's just that I got impressed by Yami.
-Ahh, the new model. I think someone has a crush!!
-No, -sigh-, I don't know why I tell you this.
-Oh, come on Anzu. You don't think he is attractive?
-Well… yes, and mysterious.
-Ahh, My friend, count on me when you want.
-Oh, Serenity it's not like that.
-As you said, Miss I-have-a-crush-on-Yami.
-Serenity stop bother me. And let's go. I want to sleep.
-Ok, ok, come on.
The next day Anzu arrived to the review early because there was an important event that showed the several designs of the designer of this review to many experts in the matter. It was very important, a lot of celebrities will come to see and all had to be perfect for the show. Of this event depends the popularity of the company. Anzu arrived to her desk awaiting orders. Serenity saw her and only saluted her shaking her hand because she was very busy.
-"This is crazy. All people running from one place to another setting everything, my poor friend its so occupy"
-Anzu!! – screamed Paul the assistant of the designer Mark.
-Yes, sir?? – said Anzu walking towards him.
-I want you to be attentive to all. The models have to be make-up and dressed in time to the many performs in foot-bridge. You have to be there directing everything. Another three girls will be there to help you. This have to be perfect, understood?
--Sigh- Yes, as you command sir. –said Anzu mentally preparing herself for this long day.
-Good, that's the attitude. Get to work.
-Right –she said walking towards the dressing rooms to prepare everything.
-Hello Anzu!! –said in unison three girls that were already in the firsts rooms.
-Hi, girls. Well, today is going to be very long and stressful. We have to give all we can so this presentation will be perfect. Is that clear?
-Yes Miss.! –said the three girls
-Ok. You – she said signaling the long hair girl- will be guiding and helping the models to change giving them their clothes and accessories.
-You both –she said looking to the other two girls- will help me to make up them, ok?
-All is clear Miss Anzu.
-Ok. Now to work
The three girls went to do their works as well as Anzu
Yami was already in the dressings rooms of the review. Seto had make that he got up very early this day to be earlier than anyone. He felt so tired and confused about all he had discover yesterday. He had a strong pain in his head and slowly was falling asleep on the couch of the room. He thought that a little sleep would make him feel better, so, he suit himself on the couch and fall asleep in an instant. Soon, he started to move to one side to another and his item started to glow under his T-shirt. In that moment he had a strange vision.
-Where am I? Hello?
-Yami…
-Who's there?
-You're the one that can stop this madness… please, hurry!
-What? What are you talking about? And who are you?
Soon, all lighten up and he could see that he was in a strange chamber and in the middle of it was a large stone with incrustation of some kind. He looked around and realized that he was in the middle of the chamber surrounded by strange cloaked figures with daggers in their hands and in an attack position.
-What's happening here? What's this?
-Yami!!... – screamed a women in the corner of the chamber- give away the power, please, you can't alone with this, is so much for you, you're hurt!!
He turned around to see who had talked but the shadows cover everything.
-I have to do this.
Yami turned around again and saw another Yami holding the millennium puzzle with a sad look in his eyes and he was wearing strange clothing.
-I'm going to contain it within me so it doesn't hurt anybody else. - He said while looking to something.
Yami stared in the direction his other self was looking and saw the silhouette of a woman that was fighting against the cloaked men trying to make a way towards him.
-It will hurt you. Don't you understand? Please, don't do it, there is always another way, trust me…- She said her voice broking.
-I'm sorry – he said while looking to the woman. Some tears run away of his eyes. He closed them with resignation.
-Don't!!! – screamed the woman trying to get to him.
A bright light surrounded the other Yami and soon a bright light covered all the chamber and Yami had to cover his eyes because the light was very strong. He felt how he was burning and couldn't breathe well. Also he heard a loud scream.
-Nooo!!
Anzu enter to one of the dressing's rooms to see if she could start with her work. She entered and saw Yami sleeping on the couch. He was wearing blue jeans, a T-shirt and his dark glasses were on the table. She smiled to herself because he looked so cute when he was asleep. Anzu approached to wake him up because the event was going to start soon and it was better that all were ready. When she was going to shake him, his face changed abruptly from pacific into a pained expression and he started to breathe with difficult. She stopped in midway and observed him for a moment. It appears that he was having a nightmare.
-No… - he whispered
-What? – said Anzu and proceed to shake him.
She took him by his shoulders and started to gently shake him.
-Yami, wake up – she said in a loud voice- Oh, he is burning. What's this? – She said touching his face and realizing a strange gold chain under his shirt.
She was going to take it out when Yami interrupted her.
-AArgh!! – He screamed while some tears started to flow off his closed eyes.
Anzu was surprised by his scream and was getting worried to see tears wetting his cheeks and started to shake him more violently.
-Yami, come on! Is just a dream! Wake up!! –she yelled at him without stop shaking him but he just continue shouting and moving on the couch because of the burning sensation he felt.
She noted that he was suffering wherever his dream was. She didn't know what to do. In that instant she came with a crazy idea, but she had to try something. She remembered Serenity once said:
-A kiss is the only thing that leaves the minds clean, in blank, because is an expression very powerful of the love, and it's fantastic, you should try to prove that.
-I think not, thanks – said Anzu rolling her eyes
-Oh, dear… No way –she said while continued shaking him but it was not useful.
-I think I have to do it. There is nothing here I can throw all over his face to wake him, so… here I go.
Anzu took his face that showed a lot of suffering and was burning for a strange reason, bring it near and put her mouth in his, giving to him a soft little kiss. She noted that his lips were warm and sweet. She blushed uncontrollably and only hoped that this would result. Anzu let her eyes open to see if there was any change. In seconds his expression softened and he opened his eyes showing those dark red eyes with some streams of tears running down his cheeks. He looked to her blue eyes and they stay in this way sharing the kiss for a moment then Anzu snapped out of her trance and broke the kiss abruptly standing up rapidly because she realized he was already awake.
-I… I'm sorry –she said touching her mouth.
Yami took a sit position on the couch and touched as well his lips with his hand.
-Why did… you do that? –he said sounding confused and disoriented.
-I saw you were having a nightmare and you couldn't wake up. I just tried to help you, I'm sorry…
-I… think it work… thanks, Anzu –he said grabbing his head with both hands because surely it was going to explode.
-Are you alright? – asked Anzu with concern in her voice approaching him again
-No… I'm not okay –he said trying to sound calm
-You can tell me, if you want. –she said sitting beside him
He raised his head and looked at her.
-I know, it's just that is so rare.
-Like you reading my mind like an open book. Yes. That's rare.
He smiled to her words. What she was saying definitely was true. He stared to the floor with melancholy.
-"What am I going to do?"
-If I can do anything for you, just tell me, ok?
-Can you hug me? –he asked without stop looking to the floor.
Anzu was surprised of what he said but decided to do it, she wanted to do it. She hugged him strongly. He hugged her back and started scanning her energy. He found she was pure and that he could trust her. He hugged her more against him smelling her scent.
-Thanks –he whispered in her ear
-It's ok –she said blushing.
Soon, one of the girls Anzu was in charge entered in the room and found this scene. They were very closely to each other. She decided to break the moment.
--she cleared her throat-
Immediately they broke apart and just stared to the girl that was at the door.
-Miss Anzu, I didn't know you were so busy… - she said giggling and looking to them
-What do you want? – said Anzu standing up and signaling for Yami to sit in the chair.
-I just wanted to tell you the event is about to begin and we need help with the models.
-Ok, I finish make up him and I will go to help you ok?
-Alright Miss Anzu – she said giggling again and closing the door.
-Oh no, I must hurry –she said preparing the make up.
Yami only looked at her and smiled.
-"I think I have found a friend here after all"
-Why are you smiling? What's so funny? –asked Anzu with malice
-Nothing. –he said returning to his serious face.
Anzu just looked at him.
-"I think I found an important and amazing friend"
Yami smiled again to himself
-"Exactly Anzu, you're important to me now"
