Hey guys! sorry for not updating in a while. I was busy with stories actually. Ideas just keep popping in my head and the WON'T SHUT UP! so my mind is wondering if i should do this...or i should do that. Urgh, i hate my brain sometimes! ANyways, here is another chapter!

DIZCLAIMER: Nope, still don't own.


YUGI WAS PROBABLY NOT feeling very well or at least that's what Honda is gathering right now. As he sat on Yugi's chair in his room, he watched Yugi stare into his cell phone again, placed it back into his pocket and sighed.

This is the fifth time; Yugi has done that, since Honda came by to visit. Honda had asked him earlier if Yugi was waiting for an important call, but Yugi would answer the same, "No, not really."

Honda sighed as well, "Then what is it, man?" Honda asked, "This is the fifth time you did that already."

Yugi blinked in surprise, "Five times already? Really?" he asked. Honda nodded.

Yugi laughed, "I haven't noticed,"

Honda took a deep breath, for a couple of weeks now he's wanted to tell someone something. He figured it would be best to tell Yugi, since Yugi is the most level-headed person he's ever met. He only wanted to know Yugi's opinion before he could make any rash decision.

But where does one start?

"So, uh…Yugi…" Honda began nervously, "Any-anything new?"

Yugi didn't answer for a few seconds, and then he finally nodded, "No, not really." He replied.

Honda narrowed his eyes, there goes that same answer again…

But then he saw Yugi sigh and said, "Actually…there is something bothering me…" Yugi admitted.

Honda's eyebrows raised in surprise, "Bothering you?" he wondered what on earth it could be. Since Yugi is mostly a carefree, thoughtful, and kind person...what in the world could be troubling him?

"It's Anzu…" Yugi said before Honda could ask further, "She's…She's been avoiding me lately."

"Wh-what?!" Honda exclaimed.

Yugi glanced up at the ceiling, "Or…at least it seems that way to me,"

"Why?" Honda didn't understand, "What happened?" Anzu, Yugi's childhood friend…is avoiding Yugi?

Yugi shook his head, "To be honest, Honda, I have no idea. I just know that's she was mad at something…and…" Honda saw Yugi pausing deliberately-like he was considering whether to tell Honda or not, "And that's it…" he finished.

Yugi knows something, Honda observed. Yugi knows something and he's not telling me. Honda frowned, sometimes he hated that, he hated how his own friends would sometimes keep things from him, and just exclude him from the circle.

But then Honda shook those thoughts aside, whatever it is, Honda is sure is something very private. After all, he just admitted himself; Yugi and Anzu had been friends since they were kids. Obviously, Yugi knows things about Anzu that not even he, Jonouchi, Shizuka or Mai would know about. So it's probably nothing.

Honda hopes it's probably nothing.

"So what are you gonna do about it?" Honda asked. Yugi didn't say anything, but after a few seconds said, "I think I'm going to ask her about it. Apologize if I have to."

Honda nodded in understanding. Yugi turned to Honda and smiled, "SO what about you?" he asked, "You seemed concerned over something."

Honda gave his friend a small smile, "Actually, it's not really a concern," he began, "It's more like….an opinion…"

"Shoot," Yugi said simply, "Let me hear it…"

Before Honda could say what was bothering him, Yugi's phone rang.

"Uh…hold on, Honda…" Yugi said, he took out his cell phone, "Hello?"

MEANWHILES…

Anzu noticed Bakura walking out a clothing store with papers in his hands. Anzu smiled and approached him as fast as she could before she lost him.

"Bakura!" Anzu yelled, "Bakura!"

Bakura, upon hearing his named being called, looked around bewilderly. As he saw Anzu approaching him, he smiled, "Hey Anzu!" he said cheerfully as Anzu stopped before him, trying to catch her breath.

"Hey…" Anzu panted a few times and said, "Hey yourself. What's up?"

"Nothing much," Bakura said, "Just looking for a job," Anzu nodded, "Cool, how's that going?"

Bakura frowned, "So far I've gotten one call from this store. But there's this one company that I REALLY want to work for…but they haven't called yet."

Anzu wrinkled her nose, "Urgh, I hate it when that happens."

Bakura laughed, "Well, that's life."

Bakura looked Anzu shyly and then asked, "So uh…how have you been?"

Anzu nodded, "I've…I've been fine!"

Bakura nodded, "And uh…how's…how's Shizuka?" he asked quietly.

Anzu laughed, "I thought you'd know that better than anyone else!"

Bakura smiled, "Ah, true….but you see, and since I've been so busy…I haven't been in contact with Shizuka lately. Well, actually…I saw her yesterday taking the same train I was."

Anzu nodded, "Yeah, Shizuka's been awfully busy since she's gotten a job, too."

Bakura nodded, "Yeah, Shizuka mentioned that when we were on the train. Do you know where she works at?"

Anzu shook her head, "I have no idea, but Mai has told me Shizu works for a company of some sort."

To Anzu's surprise, she saw Bakura's face become depressed for a fraction of a second, but then he forced a smile and said, "I see. So how's Mai?"

"Uh…F-fine," Anzu said slowly. What was that just now?

Anzu decided to forget about what she just saw, and took out her cell from her purse, "Hey, uh…if you want," she began to scroll down at her contact list, "I can give you, Shizuka's phone."

Bakura shook his head, "No, uh…actually, can I have Mai's phone number?" Then Bakura quickly changed his mind, "Sorry, but can I have both?"

Anzu laughed, "Of course," Bakura took out his cell, they placed their cells together and then Bakura smiled, "Got it,"

Anzu smiled and said, "Sorry, Bakura, but I have to go…"

Bakura nodded, "It's fine, it's perfectly understandable." Anzu nodded, "See ya later!" she said, and then she disappeared into the crowd.

MEANWHILES…

"Hello?" Yugi answered.

"I told him," Said the voice on the other side of the phone.

Yugi frowned and looked at Honda apologetically, "Sorry, Honda. I gotta take this. Uh, Can-can we talk about this later?"

Honda nodded and shook his head, as he began to make his way to the door, Yugi called back, "It's…it's not important, is it?"

Honda smiled and shook his head, "No, not really. I'll come back later, don't worry about Yug."

Yugi sighed in relief, and nodded.
