'Thoughts/Quoting'
"Speech"

The days went by quite quickly after this, Anzu took some time off school to mourn her father. She spent the day seeing her mother or helping out the maids and she spent her evenings looking after Mokuba. She hadn't seen Seto often since the bedroom incident. He had been spending a lot of time at work.
"It's normal for Onii-san to work like this. I don't think he likes spending time at home" Mokuba said looking at the floor.
"I'm sure that's not true, your Onii-san always smiles when he's with you. I guess he's just a very busy man."
"Anzu-chan…can I ask you to help me with something?"
"Sure" she responded with a smile

The two of them were trying there hardest to think of a way to get Seto to stay at home just for one night. It wouldn't be easy, Seto is very smart after all. Then suddenly ideas came to them!
They waited till Saturday to put their plan into action.

9:00 am
Seto's getting dressed in his room. He was just buttoning up his favorite black shirt when he noticed his tie and jacket wear missing. Seto was not fazed.

9:30 am
Seto's collecting his things when he notices his binder with all his contacts is missing. He gets slightly concerned but still not fazed.

10:00am
Seto is finishing up eating his breakfast and drinking his coffee, when he sees his tie waving at him through the door. 'Does Mokuba really want to play now' he thought to himself. He decides to humor his baby brother and follow around this fluttering tie. The jacket was carefully draped over the banister. The chase continued. The binder was placed onto of a slightly open door. He took it off the door and walked into the room. SLAM. The door shut behind him. Anzu was stood there and twirling the keys over her fingers. He turned back to see a grinning Mokuba sat on the desk still waving his tie at him.

10:20 am
Trapped, confused and annoyed. Seto was bored of this game and wanted to go to work.
"Very fun game Moki, I'm going to work now." Seto said taking the tie from his little brother.
"I don't think we can allow that, your office isn't expecting you today anyway." Anzu said smirking
"Mazaki.."
"You spend too much time at work Onii-san, so we made a plan. I rang your office while Anzu-chan moved your things about. I know you might be mad but I just wanted one day…"
"Mokuba, I can't just take a day off. Not without giving them notice so those idiots can ready themselves. I need to go, we can arrange this for another time" he turned back to face Anzu.
"Oh no you don't Seto Kaiba." Anzu said dropping the keys down her pajama top. "I think given recent events you should take every chance to see your brother. He is your only family and he needs you. They know you won't be there so have a day to relax" she kept her stair at him, worried if she lost eye contact she would crumble.
"Seto…" Mokuba was tugging on his sleeve and looking up at him with his big bright eyes.
"Fine. What do you want to do today then?"
"Well…"

Anzu and Mokuba went to get dressed. Mokuba put on jeans and a t-shirt and a warm jacket. Anzu had a little denim skirt on and knee high brown boots with white wooly socks. Her top was long sleeved but she had it pushed up to her elbows and it was red and white. They all left together and had Mokuba lead them all around town. It was quite cold outside so when they got to the park Mokuba got Seto to get him a hot chocolate from the drinks stand. Anzu went to get her purse out to buy herself one but Seto raised his hand to her and paid for it himself. This set off a spark in little Mokuba's mind. The two of them looked good together, really good. Almost like a cute couple. They looked happy to, this interested Mokuba and made the little cogs in his mind work.

They sat together and drank there drinks. Surprisingly they had a nice conversation, all three of them, they were laughing and joking and there was big smiles on everyone's faces, yes even Seto's! Mokuba jumped up and decided he wanted to go to the arcade. The tree of them walked in and Mokuba went from game to game until he had tired himself out.
"Shall we eat out tonight, Mokuba?" Seto asked getting his brothers attention with the mention of food.
"Yes! That'll be fun!"
"Hmmm not burger world again though, we should go out to a nice place" Seto said looking through the contact list on his phone.
"What food kinds of food do you like Anzu-chan?" Mokuba said staring up at a confused Anzu.
"What? I'm not coming am I?"
"Yeah! Why wouldn't you be?"
"I'm not really dressed to go somewhere nice."
"Mazaki, your with me. You could be wearing trakies and a hoodie and you'd be let into any establishment in Japan." Seto said with a smirk. This made her giggle. They picked to eat in a little Italian place. It may have been small but they had a balcony with tables on and they sat there. The view was amazing. All of Domino city was lit up, you could see the bright lights on the huge Ferris wheel that's in the middle of the city. They ate and laughed, Seto and Mokuba both had tagliatelle dishes and Anzu had vermicelli. The two boys were busily eating and finished quickly. In that moment, for the first time Anzu had seen, Seto looked like a teenage boy having fun. Both of the Kaiba's had pasta sauce on their faces.
"Aren't you two mucky pups," Anzu said giggling. She wiped Mokuba's face and then turned to look at Seto. She blushed as she picked up a fresh napkin. He raised an eyebrow at her. Cautiously, she got up from her seat and lent over him, she gently dabbed the napkin next to Seto's lip. He closed his eyes and pursed his lip slightly, this made her blush more. Click! The sound of Mokuba taking a photo startled them. Anzu slipped and landed with both hands on his seat and became literally face to face with Seto Kaiba. His eyes widened, they were deep pools of blue, she just couldn't look away. She could feel his breath on her lips and the heat come from his cheeks as a small blush immerged. Click!
"Are you two done or should I start recording" Said Mokuba grinning. Anzu jumped up and moved away from the table.
"Sorry Kaiba-sama" She said turning away to hide how red she was.
"Anzu-chan! Make up your mind. Are you to that formal or are you calling him Seto like you did before"
"That's not my choice to make, Kaiba-sama is my boss so he must chose how formal I must be."
Mokuba looked over to his still blushing brother, giving him a look to say 'Call her Anzu'.
"Umm…well I guess 'Seto-san' will do…since Mokuba demands it…Anzu-san"
"I'm gonna' go find a waiter to get pudding" said Mokuba as be bounced away.

Anzu's face had finally returned to normal colour and she had gone and stood by the railing and watched over the city. She felt a hands rest next to hers.
"Be careful, this is an old building, I wouldn't put too much pressure on the railing" Seto spoke softly to her. She liked him being like this. She's seen him with the people at school and dueling and with Mokuba. He can be harsh and defensive but he's so passionate and caring as well. 'All he really wants is the perfect life for Mokuba.' Anzu thought to herself. Anzu let out a sigh of relaxation and stupidly put her weight against the railing. "Seto!" she screamed as the railing bent and her foot slipped off the edge. He grabbed her round the waist and picked her up. She turned around and clung to him tight. She was nearly in tears.
"Anzu…it's alright…you're not hurt, are you?" he said softly
"I'm okay" she said sobbing into his chest. He held her there for a moment. He wasn't sure why but he just did.
"I left to get the man to get pudding. Not so you to could be all lovey-douvey." Said Mokuba giving them the infamous Kaiba smirk. The two of them blushed and then sat down and everyone got puddings. When they had finished they all got up to go home when Seto noticed Anzu shivering. He walked past and draped his coat over her without saying a word. He called the limo to pick them up and then they all went back to the mansion.
"Night night Anzu-chan" Said a rather sleepy Mokuba.
"Goodnight Moki" she gave him a kiss on the forehead and then he ran off to bed.
She turned to face Seto and blushed hard "Thank you for a wonderful day…it meant a lot to Mokuba…and it really cheered me up…night night" without thinking she kissed him on the cheek. When she realized what she did she ran up stairs to her room and shut the door fast, leaving him dazed in the hall. She went bright red and looked down to see she still had his coat on. She took off her shoes and laid on the bed with his coat
'What am I doing, thinking about him so much…kissing him...He's Seto…He's harsh…He's nasty…He's passionate…He's charming…He's hansom…I…I..I think..I love…Him?'
With those thoughts in her head she drifted off to sleep, curled up with his jacket.
