So here you go
Chapter five: Talk, moodswings and talk.
Anzu was a simple girl, she had simple needs. For example, she liked to oversleep on Saturday morning, dreaming about worthless things and completely wasting ime that could be used to do important things. This morning was no different. Anzu was deep in dreams. She had a small content smile on her face... She was standing alone in a deserted hallway, she looked everywhere, searching for someone, however he was nowhere to be found. She opened the last door and for a second she thought she had finally found the person she was looking for, but as she came closer she saw it wasn't him, the man in front of her was really familiar...it looked like."...Seto?"
"Anzu."
For a second she thought that he had actually answered her, but the voice sounded wrong, it didn't belong to Seto...it was that of a girl. Anzu opened her eyes. The only thing she saw before the sudden light forced her to close her to close her eyes was two icy blue eyes. Seto? She thought. Calling him by his first name still sounded strange to her. No, it's not possible. She opened her eyes again, the two eyes were still there, however they didn't belong to Seto.
"Meyli? What are you doing here?" The time Anzu looked at the clock on her nightstand. "It's only nine in the morning."
"Sorry, I was looking for Seto," Meyli grinned.
"Ha Ha, really funny. You'll never let me live that one down right?"
"Never. And by the way you really looked cute sleeping and calling his name like that," Meyli said slyly.
"I wasn't calling him!" Anzu replied.
"Of course not, you were just hugging your pillow while saying his name," Meyli's grin grew even wider.
Anzu's cheek turned a light shade of pink, especially when she realized that she was indeed hugging her pillow.
"But seriously, I came to see what you were up to. I've been so busy those last two weeks that we didn't really see each other. And since Seto almost forced me to take the day off, I decided to spend some time with you," Anzu sweat dropped. She had spent enough time with Meyli to see that she indeed had really weird moods swings, probably resulting in Seto giving her the day off.
"So," Meyli started, pulling Anzu out of her thoughts, "Did you tell the others about Devon?"
"Hum.…,"Anzu blinked.
"Aw, come on Anzu. He's coming back in two days and you still haven't told the guys that you have a boyfriend. What do you think it will look like when they'll learn that you are engaged?"
Anzu sighed. "Come on, it won't be that bad."
Meyli had a septic look on her face. "Not that bad? We're talking about Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor, here. They'll only throw a fit, scare him half to death, not to mention trying to kill him," Meyli said.
"I'll...tell them tonight," Anzu said.
"Good, now..." Meyli stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, "Do you think those pants are giving me a larger butt?"
Anzu sweat dropped, there comes another mood swings trip.

Sunglasses: the best disguise ever. Seto never quite understood why no one recognized him when he was wearing sunglasses over his eyes, but he was glad for it. It wasn't often that he could relax outside of his favorite coffee shop without having a mob of crazy fan girls running after him. Meyli wasn't really helping with all her attempts to find him a girlfriend. Speaking of which, he wondered what his devious twin sister was doing right now…
"Stop worrying about her, she's fine and probably driving Anzu nuts."
Seto raised his eyes to look at his little brother. It wasn't often that the two of them could spend some time together. Between Mokuba's school, work, the gang and Mokuba's numerous girlfriends...speaking of the devil.
"Mokuba!" Said a girl, running toward him. She had a really high pitched annoying voice and Kaiba wondered how Mokuba could endure her. Personally, he would have already killed her and he only saw her five second ago.
She latched herself on Mokuba's neck. Seto absently noticed that Mokuba was barely even paying attention to the girl and that she seemed to be quite aware of it. "Who's your friend?" She asked with her high pitched voice, looking at Seto.
Mokuba sighed. It was obvious that he shared the same opinion as his older brother about the girl. "Mandy-"
"Cheryl," She corrected him harshly.
"Right, Cheryl, I'm kinda busy right now, would you mind coming back later?"
Cheryl's wide smile suddenly turned into a frown. Seto made himself comfortable in his seat with his coffee in hand to watch the show he knew was coming. "Why don't you just say it: you prefer that little bitch Mandy, right?" Mokuba opened his mouth to protest but Cheryl didn't give him the time to say anything. "Don't you even try lying to me, I saw you talk to her yesterday. You disgust me Mokuba Kaiba and I never want to talk to you again," She said before leaving. Unlike what Seto expected, Mokuba didn't try to stop her. He shrugged, took his seat in front of Seto, took a sheet of paper out of his bag and made a mark on it.
"Do you mind explaining what that was about?" Seto asked.
"I thought it was obvious, I just got dumped," Mokuba replied as if he was talking about the weather.
Seto gave him a you-know-that's-not-what-I-was-talking-about look. It didn't take long for Mokuba to give up under his older brother's glare. After all, his brother was the master of all types of glare, he could get anything he wanted only by glaring. And the effect of Mokuba's puppy dog eyes had faded away as he got older. As if the idea where to cross his 17 year old mind, he had some pride after all.
"Well...you see.…," Mokuba trailed off.
"I'm still waiting," Seto said.
"It was all Joey's idea!" Mokuba accused.
"Why are you so worried all of a sudden? I'm just curious as to why you have 20 different girlfriends each week when it's obvious you don't care about them and you even seem to like it when they dump you." Seto said calmly, taking another zip of his black coffee.
"Oh…," Mokuba said, for a second he thought Seto was mad at him for treating the girls like dirt. But then again, Seto always said those kind of girls deserved nothing more than to disappear from the planet. "Well, you know I'm not as good as you to scare people away..."
"Which is a good thing," Seto said. "The last thing I want is for you to end up like me when I was your age."
Mokuba smiled lightly, remembering his brother when he was a teenager, always working, saying that friendship was for the weak. He really was scared for his big brother back then and his fear almost came true before he finally started to open up more. "Yeah, but as soon as I started going to High school I started being mobbed by rabid fan girls"
"Ah yes, the ever persistent and annoying fan girls, I really miss them sometimes," Seto said with a fake nostalgic smile.
"You never had any real problems with fan girls," Mokuba said. "You were so antisocial that you only had to glare at them to make them cry. I, however, had no way to get rid of them. They kept latching themselves on me, fighting over me, sometimes I even feared they would tear me in two."
"I would have paid to see that. Weren't you the one who kept telling me that I had to be nice with those girls?" Seto asked.
"Well I was wrong. They aren't girls, they're monsters, and they were driving me crazy until Joey had an idea so stupid that it could actually worked," Mokuba said.
"Going out with them?" Seto asked in confusion. To him that sounded like a completely ridiculous idea since the whole point was to get rid of them, certainly not dating them.
"Exactly. The more I said no, the more they came back, so Joey told me to go out with them," Mokuba explained.
"All of them at once?" Seto asked, even more confused.
"Yeah, it confused me too at first, but I was really desperate. The worst of it is, it actually worked. As soon as I said yes, they stopped bothering me and started to tell everyone that they were going out with me until they met another person who was also going out with me. They started fighting amongst themselves until a third person also clamed to be going out with me and they all ended up breaking up with me and never talking to me again," Mokuba explained.
"It's a wonder one of Joey's plan worked," Seto said. "But I don't think you'll ever see the end of all those fan girls. Even after seven years, they're still coming after me. I made a good number of them cry, though."
Mokuba shrugged. "Well at least I don't have to worry about them anymore, they're doing all the work themselves."
"You know, if you find a real girlfriend they would probably leave you alone."
"Look who's talking," Mokuba said. "Anyway, all the girls are only after me for my money, so..."
"What about that little blond twerp you used to stay with after the Grand Prix tournament?" Seto smirked.
"I have know idea who you're talking about," Mokuba lied.
"I'm sure you don't."

Later that day, Meyli and Anzu went to the game shop. Anzu, because she had to tell her friends that she was engaged and Meyli to make sure she'll do it, was nervous.
"Hey guys!" Meyli cheered excitedly as she entered the living room, Anzu following her close behind.
"Hi Meyli. Hi Anzu," Yugi answered. Tristan and him were lazing off on the couch while Joey was...working?
"What are you doing?" Meyli asked, sitting on the floor next to him.
Joey gave her a peck on the cheek and turned back to his computer. "I'm looking for a job," He replied.
"You could ask Seto, I'm sure he could find you one in five minutes," Meyli said.
"No offence, but I don't think it would be wise to work for your brother. Those kind of arrangements always end up badly."
"I didn't mean working for him, but he has a lot of contacts everywhere, he could find you a nice paying job," Meyli said.
"Thanks, but no. I want to get a job by myself, not because I'm Seto Kaiba's step brother," Joey said. "So, what brings you here?"
Meyli looked at Anzu and grinned. Anzu, who was now seated on the couch between Yugi and Tristan, sighed. There was no turning back now.
"I have something really important to tell you," Anzu started, she took a deep breath. "I'm engaged to someone." She said really fast.
"You're what?" Joey asked. "For a second there I thought you said that you were engaged."
"Joey, that's what she said," Yugi said.
"What?..."
"Since when?" Tristan asked.
"Well, four months," Anzu said.
"What? Four months and just told us? You never even told us that you had a boyfriend!" Joey exclaimed. Everyone knew that Joey considered Anzu like his sister and that he was overprotective of her. "We don't even know him. I bet he's an American. I don't trust those guys. What if-"
"Well maybe she just wanted to tell you face to face instead of telling you in a email. Or maybe she was afraid you'd react exactly like you are right now," Meyli said, or rather yelled in Joey's face. "You should be happy for her, instead you are accusing her like it was a crime to date someone. You are a real JERK!" She stood up, grabbed Anzu by the arm and dragged her outside with her. Anzu was too happy to get out to protest, she knew Joey and Tristan needed some time to think.
"Wow, her mood swings really are scary," Yugi said.
"You can say that again," Tristan said. "I wonder how you can cope with her like that."
"Why don't you try having a baby?" Joey replied harshly. "It's stressing me out enough just as it is and she's the one who has to carry it around and...Hey, her mom died giving birth to Mokuba, that's certainly not reassuring her in any way."
"I guess," Yugi said, deciding that he wouldn't laugh about it again.
"I can't believe she didn't tell us, we're her friends," Joey said.
"That's exactly why she didn't tell us, Joey," Yugi said. "She knows you two enough to know you'd throw a fit. But I doubt she's mad at you."
"I still don't like it. I don't trust him," Joey said.
"But you don't even know him," Yugi said. "Anzu's not stupid, I'm sure he's a nice guy."
"I don't know," Joey said. "Anzu can be naïve sometimes when she really wants something. She also has a tendency to believe everyone can change and be nice. She did say that about Seto."
"Joey, in case you haven't noticed she was right about him," Yugi reminded him.
"Maybe," Joey conceded. "But that doesn't mean that everyone is like him."
"Who's not like me?"
They all turned around and saw Seto and Mokuba who just had come into the living-room. "Since when did you two get here?" Joey asked.
"We just arrived," Mokuba answered. "We heard you ranting against someone so we decided to pay you all a little visit. We were also wondering if you knew were
Meyli is, we want to find her before going home."
"You just missed her. She had another mood swing and yelled at Joey before storming out with Anzu," Tristan said. Apparently what Joey said had little effect on Tristan about his girlfriend's mood swings.
Seto shrugged. If Anzu was with her then he had no reason to be worried. "So, who's not like me and what exactly do you mean by 'like me'?" Seto asked, sitting on the couch where Anzu was only a few minutes ago.
"Well.…," Joey trailed off. Seto's past behavior was rarely spoken off between them, it was a delicate subject. Lucky for him, Yugi went to his aid.
"Joey thinks that Anzu's fiancé is a jerk and he's afraid that Anzu believe she can make him change like you did," That was enough information for Seto to understand everything.
"I was starting to wonder when she was going to tell you."
"You mean she already told you?" Joey said.
"No, but unlike you all, I saw the ring on her finger."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Joey asked.
"Because it's her life and she never told me so I figured she had her reasons. Still, you should give the guy a chance. Do you think I trusted you when you started dating my sister?" Seto smirked. "Anyway you have nothing to say in the matter so you either support her or look like a jerk yourself."
"But what if he hurts her?" Joey said.
"If he really is a jerk then Anzu has to realize it on her own. There's nothing you can do."

"What have I done? Joey must hate me now., Meyli cried on her bed, back at the mansion.
"Of course not, I'm certain he's not angry at all. In fact I'm sure he's worried about you," Anzu said reassuringly.
"I hate this."
"Hate what?" Anzu asked.
"All those stupid mood swings. I always end up crying for no reason and fighting with everyone over stupid things. It's no wonder Seto gave me the day off, he must be so tired of having to cope with me."
"Don't be stupid," Meyli and Anzu raised their head and saw Seto standing in the doorway.
"I...I better get going. See you later Meyli," Anzu said. When she passed in front of Seto, he gave her a grateful look. He wanted to talk to her alone.
"Roland told me he brought you back here. I talked with the guys, I wanted to bring you back home with us but you had already left. Joey wants me to tell you that he's sorry he reacted like an idiot and that he's absolutely not mad at you," Seto said, sitting on the bed next to her.
"Do you really think that you are a burden to me?" Seto asked.
Meyli didn't say anything, which gave Seto his answer. He sighed. "Meyli, look at me."
She slowly sat on the bed and looked at him.
"Meyli, you are my little sister, it's sure sometimes you annoy me, so does Mokuba, and I'm sure we both annoy you sometimes. But there's nothing I like more than having you and Mokuba with me. You're my family and there's nothing more important to me than the two of you. If you had never come I would still be a total jerk...I would probably even be just like Gozaburo. You know what? It saddens me to think that in a little more than a month you'll leave, but I'm still happy for you. I trust Joey to take good care of you."
"It...makes you sad that I'll leave? I thought you were glad to finally get rid on me, especially with all my mood swings." Meyli said.
"Don't be ridiculous. Your presence is in no way a burden to me. No matter what, I'll always be there for you. I know it sound cheesy, but it's the truth. You can ask me anything at anytime and that mansion will always be open for you if something happens. And I don't mind your mood swings, it actually makes the day a little bit more spicy," Meyli chuckled a bit. "I know you'll probably be mad at me for saying that, since you hate to be treated like a fragile thing, but I think you should take things lightly, you're pregnant and I have to admit that I'm worried about you. That's why I gave you the day off."
Meyli smiled and hugged him tightly. "Thank you."
