Chapter four: Keep it a secret.

When Anzu woke up the next morning there were only two words to describe how she felt: in heaven. She was laying down in a warm bed, and she could feel something warm holding her...wait a second, warm? Anzu opened her eyes and saw the last person she ever thought to see: Seto Kaiba. Sometime during the night she ended up sleeping against him and he put his arm possessively around her waist. The fact that he was still shirtless didn't help her either. As she tried to figure out a way to get out of his embrace without waking him up (she would never ever be able to face him again if he ever saw that). Seto began to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw her, he blinked a few times, realizing just how close they were...and that he was the one holding her really close to him. His first thought was to let her go and get away, but another part of his brain just had to wonder how it would be like to kiss her and-

"Click" A flash lighted the room for a fraction of second.

Both of them turned to the end of the bed and- "Click" they were both blinded by another flash.

Both of them blinked a few times, while someone was clearly laughing at their expense. "This is definitely going to my blackmail album."

Seto recognized the voice in an instant, how could he not? "Meyli," He said dangerously. What in the world is she doing here?

Anzu looked up, sure enough, Meyli was standing at the end of the bed, camera in hand. Even if she had stop laughing she was still grinning madly. Who wouldn't, the situation really was compromising and..."Seto? would you mind letting go of me?"

Seto turned toward her and realized that he was indeed still holding her. "Click" followed by more laughing from Meyli were heard. "Just wait until the guys see that."

"Just wait until I catch you," Seto said, getting up from the bed and chasing her.

Anzu smiled, some things just never change. She thought, watching the two siblings fighting for the camera. She was sure Seto was going really easy on her. Meyli looked great, hell she was radiant and still as beautiful as ever. She had the same eyes as her brother, though they held no severe expression in them, unlike Seto, her chestnut hair were now falling to her lower back. She was tall, lean and had all the right curves and it was still impossible to see that she was pregnant. "What are you doing here so early?" Anzu asked.

"Early? It's 10:30, and if you remember right we were supposed to go out together for the day," Meyli said.

"Sorry, I forgot."

"I guess it's understandable. Girls do seem to forget a lot of things when they are around Seto." Meyli grinned.

Seto rolled his eyes. "There is nothing going on between us."

"Sure." Meyli said.

"Whatever, I have work to do, just be careful," Seto said.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Meyli said. "Now get out of here, you are keeping us from having strict girl fun."

"As if I'd ever want to be part of that," Seto said, leaving.

"So, how was your trip?" Meyli asked as the two girls walked around town with their sunglasses on. It was unbelievable how no one recognized them by only wearing sunglasses.

"It was long, and boring, and I got chased by a mob of fans as soon as I got off the plane." Anzu said.

"Welcome to the world of the riches and famous. So, hum, what exactly were you doing in bed with my brother?"

"I swear there is nothing going on between us." Anzu said.

"Well, considering we are talking about my brother, I believe you, though I'm still going to keep the pictures, you two actually make a really cute couple. But how did you end up in bed with the confirmed bachelor that is my older brother?" Meyli asked.

"Well..." Anzu began telling her everything that happened, from the dinner to her nightmare.

"That doesn't surprise me from him at all, when I first came back I used to go sleep with him when I had nightmares, and so did Mokuba. I'm just glad you're ok." Meyli said, not pushing the subject any further, not that Anzu expected her to, after all, Meyli had been abused for years by her uncle before coming back to live with her brothers so she could understand how Anzu felt. Anzu was sure that if she wanted to talk about it Meyli would listen to her anytime, yet nothing happened so there was no reason to make a fuss out of it, she had been scared on the moment but now she felt fine, and really stupid for not letting her friends come with her.

"And what about you? Why didn't you tell me you are going to be a mom?" Anzu grinned.

"So Joey told you huh? I should have guessed. Well, I only learned about it a month ago and because you are my best friend I wanted to tell you in person."

"How does it feel?" Anzu asked.

"Weird, but it's a wonderful feeling...when I'm not kneeling in front of the toilet. Seto and Mokuba always keep making comments on my supposed mood swings and all the weird things I eat."

"So you still live with them?" Anzu asked, she couldn't believe just how much she had miss, she really had been neglecting her friends those last few years.

"I'll say half and half. Joey just graduated from the university a month ago so until now he lived in a small apartment, you know how he feels about getting money from others. Anyway I don't think I was ready to play the perfect wife just yet, depending on the day I was staying at his place and the rest of the time I was at the mansion."

"This is just too weird, Joey Wheeler having a baby." Anzu giggled. "When will it happen?"

"In about 7 months. Somewhere around the beginning of February."

The two girls spent the whole day shopping and looking at every stores they crossed, the day passed by quickly, they headed to a nearby restaurant were they agreed to meet to officially celebrate for the soon to be couple.

When they reached the table most of them were already there, the only ones missing were the Kaiba brothers.

"Anzu!" They all said when they saw her.

"Seto told us what happened, are you ok?" Yugi asked.

"I'm fine, don't worry," Anzu said with a smile.

"Boy you should have seen the look on his face when we saw him this morning," Joey said. "I hadn't seen him that angry since Mokuba burned down the school."

"Yea, he called us stupid or something," Tristan said.

"Actually I said moronic, brainless fools," Seto said, he and his brother had just join them at the table. "And I still mean it."

"Come on Seto, I'm fine and I'm the one who wouldn't let them come with me," Anzu said, her cheeks grew a light shade of pink to the memory of the last time she saw him. Of course the others didn't really seem to believe her.

The conversation soon turned on the wedding and the baby. Everyone kept asking question about the soon-to-be-couple's plan. The evening passed by really fast and soon everyone was getting ready to leave.

"You could come with us," Mokuba said to Anzu once they were outside. "Your house is on our way so we could take you there."

"I don't know..."

"Awww, come on Anzu," Meyli said. "And maybe you could help us find a suitable girl for Seto."

"Are you sure you can't marry her earlier so I wont have to stay with her anymore," Seto said.

The conversation started between the guys so no one noticed the sadden look that crossed Meyli's face except Anzu. "Hey, are you ok?" She asked softly so the

others wouldn't notice.

"I'm fine," She said with a smile. "I'm just tired. I'll go wait in the limo, are you coming?"

"...Yea."

"Come on, what was that about?" Anzu asked once they were both in the limo.

"What?"

"That face you made." Anzu said.

"I told you, I'm just tired, I didn't really sleep well last night...you know, I was so exited to see you again."

"Yea.…,"Anzu said, but it was obvious that she wasn't really convinced. However she didn't have the time to say anything because Seto and Mokuba sat in the limo.

It was late and everyone was tired to no one made any effort to start a conversation. By the time the limo stopped in front of Anzu's house...or rather penthouse, Mokuba and Meyli had both fallen asleep. Anzu stepped out, she turned around to thanks them but saw Seto coming out behind her and closing the door.

"What? Are you afraid I'll be attacked on my way inside?" Anzu said.

Seto chuckled. "No, but I just wanted to talk to you alone after...the rather embarrassing moment of this morning."

"Are you saying that you are ashamed of being near me?" Anzu joked.

"What? Of course not... it's actually quite the opposite."

Anzu blushed slightly at the compliment, and she couldn't help herself but think that he was rather cute when he was embarrassed.

"Don't worry about it, I was just joking. But seriously, there isn't really anything to be ashamed of….even if the situation was quite awkward and compromising."

Seto sighed. "I'm glad you think that way, I know a lot of girls who would have tell everyone about it and pretend to be my girlfriend."

"Are you saying you thought I would take advantage of the situation?" Anzu said, her voice raising a bit.

"Hey, can you really blame me? It wouldn't be the first time and, after all, I don't know you at all," Seto said.

Anzu wanted to say something to tell him he was wrong to think like that...but she couldn't think of anything, because he was right, they didn't know anything about one another. "I suppose it's true, but I guess it will change soon, after all, you are my friends' friend. And you owe me a dance at the wedding."

"I'll be sure to remember that. Take care, we wouldn't want something to happen to the bridesmaid now would we?" Kaiba said, turning around and returning to the

limo.

Once inside he glanced at his sleeping siblings. He was truly happy for Meyli. Joey was a nice guy after all and he knew he would take good care of her (not that he would ever admit it to his step-brother or anyone else for that matter) yet the thought of her leaving the mansion was still saddening, the mansion would be really empty without her.

His thoughts turned back to Anzu. He had seen the ring she had on her left hand. So she was taken, he wondered if the others had any idea about this. He didn't

remember any of them talking about Anzu getting married and he was sure the media never mentioned anything about it either. Seto shrugged, she probably didn't want the press to know about it, after all, Meyli's wedding was still a secret too and knowing the others, he guessed she wanted to tell them herself. He remembered how Joey and Tristan used to glare at every guy who was even slightly looking at Anzu when they were in high school, they will surely throw a fit when they'll learn about it. Yet there was a strange feeling nagging Seto. It was really faint but he would almost swear it felt like...jealousy?
