Alright, finally done with the chapter, I'm sorry for the long wait but my exam week was hard, I spent two weeks doing nothing but homworks, I've spent two days traveling to go back home and had to work the entire day Saturday so I couldn't write.

Enjoy, others will follow soon, long life to vacation!!

Chapter 15 : Something is wrong with him.

Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong, ding….and so on…

"I'm coming." Anzu yelled, putting aside her bowl of popcorn and standing up to go open the door.

"Hi Anzu…" Meyli said with a faint smile when the door finally opened.

"Meyli? What's the matter?" Anzu asked, seeing her friend's obvious distress, she took a step sideway to let her friend come in and closed the door behind her.

"I...had a fight with Joey. A big one." Meyli admitted, tears were coming back to her eyes at the memory of the argument. It was by far the biggest argument they ever had and she wasn't sure he would forgive her anytime soon.

"I don't want to sound like I don't want you here but...Why didn't you go to the mansion?" Anzu asked, it was true that she didn't mind her friend coming...but she wasn't sure about Raven, he had made it clear that he didn't want her to hang around with the Kaibas.

"I had a fight with Seto too." Meyli said, she was slightly surprised that Anzu didn't know about it, it had happened over two weeks ago, had she really not seen anyone all that time?

"You sure are having a lot of fight these day." Anzu said, leading her to the living-room and sitting on the couch.

Meyli sat down beside her and dropped her head "It's not like I'm doing it on purpose." She said, tears now rolling down on her cheeks.

"What happened exactly?" Anzu asked.

"We had a disagreement about Seto. Joey's mad at him for the way he's treating me, I can't really blame him for it but I can't really cut all ropes with Seto, things got out of hand and I ended up leaving the house." Meyli explained quickly, she really didn't want to talk about it.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Anzu said. "Don't worry, I'm sure it will work out. He loves you." She said with a reassuring smile, looking at her watch.

"I hope so because right now I don't even have a house to go to." Meyli looked up slightly and caught Anzu's nervous movements, constantly glancing slightly at her watch. "Am I disturbing you? I really don't want to bother you, if you had something planned it's alright."

Anzu realized what she was doing and stopped abruptly. "Not at all, I'm just worried a little, Raven's late. It's not like him to not give a call when he knows he'll come home late."

"I see." Meyli said, though she wasn't sure if she totally believed Anzu. She eyes her friend carefully but she had no idea what she was looking for, Seto was the one with the ability to see through people. "You know, everyone is worried about you." She said. "Well at least Joey is. And me too. Joey tried to come and talk to you after the wedding but Raven said you were sick or tired and that you needed rest but you never called back." She said.

"Oh, well you see, I had a lot of things to get ready and by the time I was done I figured it was too late to call, you were already gone." Anzu explained.

"Still, you could have called us at the hotel, everyone knew where we were, you only had to ask Yugi or Mokuba." Meyli said. "Why didn't you do so?"

Anzu shrugged simply before sitting down, waiting for Meyli to do the same. "I haven't seen them, you know, I have a lot of things to do. And anyway, there is not much to say, what happened happened."

"I know that, bus still I wanted to make sure you and Raven were alright and apologize." Meyli said.

"I don't believe you are the one who needs to apologize." Anzu stated.

"I guess you are right, but I don't really expect Seto to do so anytime soon." Meyli sighed. "He…doesn't seem to hold Raven in high esteem."

"So I noticed." Anzu said. "And Raven noticed it too. I don't think he did anything wrong to deserve Kaiba's hatred."

"I know, I have no idea what is wring with him lately. But still Anzu, can you-" Meyli stopped when she heard the door opening, a few seconds later she heard Raven.

"Hey Anzu, have you checked…" He became silent and froze in the hallway when he saw Meyli in the living room staring back at him. "What is she doing here?" He asked, turning his attention over to Anzu.

Meyli felt anger rising at not being addressed directly and with such insolent manners. "I came here to see my friend." She answered in a tone that dared him to say anything about it, latterly her opinion of Anzu's boyfriend was dropping rapidly, she doubted Seto was the only one to blame for the fight. She could sense the tension in the house, which at least doubled as soon as he arrived and somehow he had a feeling she was the cause of it. They stayed there, starring at one another in silence for a minute until Raven finally broke the silence.

"Can I talk to you?" Raven said sternly to Anzu, not looking back at Meyli anymore. "In private." He added.

Anzu nodded quickly and stood up without even a glance toward Meyli. She silently followed Raven in the bedroom, he closed the door behind her, preventing Meyli from hearing anything.

Meyli stayed still for a few minutes and tried to hear what they were saying but she couldn't hear anything, either they had soundproof walls or they were keeping their voice low to prevent her from hearing, it was most likely the second possibility, which insulted her furthermore. She stood up and started to wander around the room looking at the furniture and such, she noticed that the room was cold; somehow it reminded her of her brother's room when she first arrived into the mansion. There were no picture anywhere, the walls where plain, no decoration, no plants, not even a stuffed animal. Anzu had been living there for almost three months, there was no way she was too busy to decorate a little, when she was in high school she was balancing school and a part time job, along with passing time with her and her friends and each season if not more she was totally changing the decoration of her room. Meyli remembered perfectly the colourful walls of the dancer's room, all the pictures of her friends and the decorations everywhere, in comparison this house looked like an ice cavern.

This made Meyli wonder about just how much Anzu had changed in the last five years. They kept contact after she left for New-York but had time passed Anzu made friends in her new home and had less time to spend chatting or calling her other friends on the other side of the planet, Meyli herself didn't do much effort either, she started going out more with Joey and made new friends too. In all honesty, her only contacts with Anzu those last four years were birthday and Christmas cards. She had no idea what Anzu did all that time.

Meyli's thoughts were interrupted by a slight cough behind her. She turned around and saw Raven standing behind her. "Anzu is not feeling well." He said. "It would be best for you to return to your house. I'll give you a ride." Raven offered in forced politeness.

"I'll be fine on my own." Meyli answered with a sugar voice of her own, Raven didn't object as she walked to the door and grabbed her shoes, she closed the door behind her and sighed. She walked quickly toward the end of the road, cursing men for actually letting girls walk outside alone at night without even protesting, not that she would have accepted a ride from him but he could have offered her to call her brothers or husband or even a cab but no he just watched her get dressed without even a word.

She overlooked her option, she could call Mokuba but the drivers where all at home at that time and the kid didn't have his driver's license anymore, Seto most likely wouldn't want to come and get her even if she asked Mokuba to ask him, and beside Mokuba was living with Seto. She could call Joey, but she was still mad at him and he was most likely still mad at her and would kill Raven for letting her out alone at such a time, beside she didn't want to see him right now. She cursed herself for not taking the car key's before slamming the door behind her as she left Joey. There was also a third option, which also happened to be the closest…

Meyli waited patiently outside of the house, the light on the second floor told her that someone was coming. After a long wait the door finally opened and a sleepy face appeared behind it, however, to Meyli's surprise, it was not the person she expected to see. "Mokuba?" She said with surprise.

"Meyli?" He questioned with the same bewildered look on his face. "What are you doing here? More importantly, what are you doing alone outside, it's passed midnight, do you want to get killed of what?" He asked opening the door wider to let her in.

Meyli sighed as she sat down at the table in the middle of the small kitchen. "I had a fight with Joey, I suppose I don't have to explain the reason, I went to Anzu but Raven kinda threw me out."

"What do you mean threw you out?" Mokuba asked with anger evident in his voice.

Meyli shrugged. "He did it in a really polite way if you want to know, he really didn't seem to want me anywhere near his house, I wonder what's wrong with him. What about you?"

"Well, to be honest with you, Seto didn't let me borrow his car to pick you up at the airport." Mokuba said, his anger toward Raven momentarily forgotten.

"You stole it?" Meyli said in shock.

"…kinda." Mokuba said with a guilty smile lingering on his lips. "But I didn't want to involve Rebecca into this so I didn't tell him she was with me therefore he thinks I drove. He wasn't really happy either that I went to pick you up." Mokuba explained.

"I wonder which one he is the more mad about, the fact that you stole his car, that he think you drove it or that you used it to pick me up." Meyli said pensively. "Where is Yugi by the way?" She asked.

"Oh, he's out of town for the weekend, I don't remember why." Mokuba explained simply.

"And how did you get in his house?" She asked, hoping her little brother didn't pick up more bad habits.

"Easy, I used the spare key, Yugi used to let me come over any time when I had fight with Seto or when I wasn't feeling well a few years ago and wanted to be left alone."

Meyli nodded in understanding, she remembered quite a few times in the past when Seto and Mokuba had fights, the kid had been troubled in his teenager years and had disappeared quite a few times. She was glad to learn that he had been safe all those night, and slightly angry that he never told her where he was, it would have saved her countless night staying up worrying about him.

Mokuba stood up and hugged his sister lightly. "I'll take the couch, you can take the guest room, good night." He said, kissing her on the forehead.

If some of you think I'm elusive about some things, well it's because I am being elusive and yes I have a purpose, you'll find out later.
