YUGI MOTO WAS ABSOLUTELY positive that Anzu is avoiding him. The question was: why? Why is she avoiding him? What has he done? From what he recalls, nothing. Then again, ever since they had graduated from high school, nobody has ever taken the time to hang out with each other(well, at least not as the whole gang). Maybe Anzu was busy.
Yes, Yugi thought, maybe Anzu is just busy with work and other things. Yet that didn't explain why Yugi feels bad whenever he tries to call, Anzu never answers her phone. It was always that stupid answering machine, which Anzu never lets it run. She always answers on the third ring. If she was busy with something, she would at least answer and say, "Sorry, can't talk now. I'll call you later." And she would hang up, and return the call just as she promised. But not to Yugi though, not to Yugi lately.
Which made him feels like absolute crap.
Yugi laid on his bed and sighed, he decided to think about Anzu later. What he had to think about now, was Mai….and her….unexpected delivery. Could there be a chance that he's the father? Yugi doesn't think he is. He hated to admit it, but…Yugi is still a virgin(or at least he still thinks he is). He has never had a girlfriend, nor has he ever had relationships with one. As much as he thinks Mai is attractive and would give up one chest hair to take a peek at her naked body, he would never have the courage to sleep with her.
He would…he wished and desired one particular girl. This girl, he would want to spend the rest of his life with. With this girl, he would give his life for her happiness.
What…in the world happened that night? Yugi's mind tries to remember...but he couldn't. If only, there was a way from something to show him exactly what had happened.
Damn Kaiba and his stupid party. Damn Kaiba with his money, big mansion and high technology.
Yugi's eyes snaps open, he immediately sat up on his bed. Realization popped in his head. Of course! Why didn't Yugi think of this sooner? How could he have been so stupid?
LATERS…
As soon as Yugi passed through the two automatic glass doors of Kaibacorp, he remembered that he skip his breakfast and his stomach is protesting non-stop.
Yugi glanced at his cell; he saw that it was lunchtime. Damn, Yugi's going to have to miss…unfortunately. He ignored his stomach low-pitched threat as he headed toward the receptionist at the counter.
"E-Excuse me," Yugi began. The receptionist looked up, and gave Yugi a warm smile, "Good afternoon, Mr. Muto" she replied.
Yugi gave her a weak smile. Apparently, since Yugi is Kaiba's well- known enemy, he is somehow quite welcome at Kaibacorp. Even if Kaiba himself denies his appointment, Yugi is still treated like some kind of important guest.
"Would you like to speak with Mr. Kaiba?" she asked kindly. Yugi sweat-dropped, "Uh…that would…w-would be nice…"
The receptionist nodded and said, "Let me give him a call, informing him of your visit. One moment please." She said. She gestured to the couches placed a few feet from her counter, "In the meantime, please, feel free to sit down."
Yugi bowed his thanks and quietly sat at the couch while the woman made a call. After a few minutes, the woman looked up from her counter and said, "Mr. Muto?"
Yugi nodded and quickly got off his seat and headed toward the receptionist, "Y-Yes?" he asked.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Kaiba is very busy with other engagements. However, the Vice President, is free at the moment, would you like to speak with him?" Yugi smiled, he figured Kaiba was going to deny his visit, but at least he has Mokuba to talk to. Yugi nodded, "Yes that would be fine."
The woman smiled, and told Yugi how to get to Mokuba's office.
LATERS…
Yugi was very surprised to see how much Mokuba has grown. Mokuba is now a man of 6'0 feet. He looks exactly like his brother, except he his skin was golden brown like those teriyaki chicken(Yugi couldn't stop thinking about food), he hair was long and dark like soy sauce.
Like the receptionist, Mokuba greeted Yugi warmly. "Hey, Yugi!" Mokuba cried as soon as he saw Yugi walk in his office. He gestured Yugi to sit, which Yugi took the invitation gladly.
Mokuba took his seat right after Yugi, "It's been a while," he admitted. Yugi nodded and smiled weakly, "Yeah, it sure has."
Mokuba frowned, "I'm sorry that my brother couldn't see you. You see, with this tournament coming next year and all, he's been really busy." Yugi nodded, "I figured that was the case,"
It was Yugi's turn to frown, "Uh, aren't you busy, Mokuba? Or on your lunch break…? I mean…" Mokuba waved his hand dismissively, "Nah, no way. Well, technically I'm supposed to be on break, but I had Rebecca pick up our lunch."
Yugi sweat dropped, lunch…that sounds really good right now. His mouth watered slightly as he began to daydream about food.
"So what's up?" Mokuba said interrupting Yugi's daydream.
Yugi blushed, "Oh, right. Well uh…I was wondering if you can do me a favor?"
Mokuba nodded, not batting an eyelash, "Sure, what is it?"
Yugi hesitated, how was he going to say this without telling Mokuba everything? Yugi trusts Mokuba, the problem is, it wasn't Yugi's secret to say that Mai is pregnant. And that possibly… he and his brother could be the father.
"Uh…you uh remember the night at your mansion about the promotion of Kaiba's tournament coming up?" Yugi began slowly.
Mokuba chuckled softly, "Of course, Yugi." He leaned on his desk, "Why?"
"Well," Yugi began, "I was wondering…if…there was some way I could…maybe take a look at those security footage of that night?"
Mokuba raised an eyebrow, "Why?" he repeated.
Yugi blushed, as much as he hated lying he had too. Yugi had hoped that Kaiba would give Yugi and Mai permission to take a look at the footage of that particular night, and from that footage, Mai could finally know who the father is. Yugi was hoping he and Mai could come together to Kaibacorp and Mai herself could explain the reason. Yet when he called Mai, Mai didn't answer.
"I…" Yugi struggled, he has to lie. He had to lie. "Uh…just wanted to prove to my friends that…uh….it who the winner was…at the-the poker game?"
Yugi mentally cursed himself for giving such an obvious lie, but Mokuba seemed to buy it. He laughed and said, "Well that's a stupid reason to ask for security footage!" he said, "But then again, friends are friends, right?"
Mokuba got off his seat, "Come, follow me," he said.
Yugi nodded, and followed Mokuba.
LATERS…
Mokuba took his seat at his desk, and began to look at his email.
"So what was it that Yugi wanted?" asked a deep male's voice.
Mokuba looked up from his laptop and saw his brother, Kaiba leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed. Mokuba figured his brother was going to come by his office as soon as Yugi left.
"Nothing," Mokuba replied, "He just wanted footage of that event we had two months ago."
He saw his brother raise an eyebrow, "Footage?" he asked puzzled, "What for?"
Mokuba shrugged, "He said he wanted to confirm someone's victory at some game they had."
"And you believed him?"
Mokuba shook his head, "No, but I let him borrow the footage. I know his going to bring it back."
Kaiba rolled his eyes and shook his head in annoyance, and left Mokuba's office.
Woohoo! i hope this brings up the climax! because for some reason, i keep thinking i'm leaving in everyone in suspense and not getting anywhere. Ahahaha! anyways, please read n' review! :D
