A/N: A really short chapter, mostly foreshadowing and fleshing out some of the friendships. Filler-ish unfortunately...sorry! Next one will be better I swear!

Disclaimer: Not Mine!

"Anzu-chan, you and Marik-kun seem to be getting along a lot better," Miho commented as they sat down in science together and she smiled happily at her friend.

"Yah, dance has really consumed my time along with tutoring for science, but it's a lot easier now that Marik-kun has opened up a bit," She smiled secretively to herself, missing Miho's hurt expression.

She really needed to thank Mutou-san for his advice...she'd been thinking about it all week and she couldn't figure it out for the life of her. Maybe she'd ask Marik, they had started talking a little bit during warm ups and he even said hello to her a couple times this week at the beginning of class.

It was a start anyways.

"Well...Miho is happy if you're happy..." Miho said weakly, noticing she had lost her friend's attention again. Anzu came back to attention though with a small frown. She had been so busy this past month...it was like she had no time for her friends. She could tell Miho was a little offended by the silence even though she tried to understand that she was busy.

"You know how you said a while ago that we were lucky to have Mutou-san for a tutor?" Anzu hinted, a little nervous to tell her friend, but she knew Miho wouldn't tell a soul, she was far too nice to ever do that, and she felt bad for ignoring her so much even if it wasn't intentional.

Miho nodded, already looking suspicious and Anzu cupped her face in her hands, elbows on her desk as she watched the TA in question enter the room quietly after Masahashi-sensei.

"Well you were right, we are definitely lucky," She said with a small dramatic sigh, just in case Miho had missed the way she was looking at him.

"I knew it!" Miho exclaimed then, catching Honda's curious glance across the room she leaned closer to whisper in Anzu's ear, who hid her smile from her friend.

"You have a crush on Mutou-san!" She whispered with a giggle and Anzu didn't have to fake the flush in her cheeks, especially when he looked their way and she had to look away quickly.

"Well...maybe a little bit..." She admitted in a whisper.

"Oh Anzu that's so romantic!" Miho sighed, hearts nearly pouring out of her. "You guys always meeting together after school and becoming secret friends then falling in love...!" She gave a quiet squeal then hugged her friend who just laughed good naturedly. "Tell me everything!"

Anzu started filling her in quietly but the class started and she had to pay attention. Mutou-san who had nothing to do but watch the students was if anything harder on her then the others so she knew he would call her out if she wasn't paying attention.

She was fully focused until a note landed on her desk about fifteen minutes in. Unfolding it curiously she read: You guys shouldn't talk so loud if you don't want people to know your secrets. Her heart dropped to her toes as she recognized Yuugi's writing.

No! Not good! If he knew she liked his cousin...she resisted the urge to look over her shoulder to where was sitting. Showing Miho the note, she read it quickly then gasped slightly, holding a hand to her mouth in horror, an apologetic look on her face.

"He's definitely bluffing," Anzu whispered to her friend in assurance, sure that there was no way Yuugi had heard what they were saying from his seat behind them, probably just saw them giggling and whispering and got bored with the science.

Writing back quickly she wrote, you shouldn't be so nosy. Plus, I know you're bluffing. She dropped the paper to the floor and kicked it over to him then waited for him to return it. It didn't take long.

Busted, I don't know what you were actually talking about but I think you have a crush on you-know-who. You guys are always together. Btw, he called me to ask if his eyes were crimson. What the heck is that about?

She crumpled the paper up and shoved it in her desk, embarrassed. First Marik, then Miho and now Yuugi, all of them acting like it was obvious! Was she really that obvious...? Yuugi managed to kick the back of her chair somehow though she wasn't sure how, he was still shorter than average.

"Mutou-san," A warning voice called and they both hid their gazes from the other Mutou-san.

Hm, other Mutou-san...how ironic.

...

"Anzu! Since when is my cousin interested in what colour his eyes are?" Yuugi demanded loudly and she shushed him, turning pink. She had just gotten out of her last class, dance, and Marik would no doubt be waiting inside impatiently. She was still wearing her body suit from class and was receiving numerous sleazy looks.

"I-I just...well...it's complicated," She protested weakly and he just glared. "Ok you know he's been tutoring me after school and it wasn't that hard for me to figure out that he's that person," She whispered hurriedly.

"That person?" He questioned and she sighed, rolling her eyes.

"You know, that person." Yuugi's face remained blank.

"You should know who I'm talking about Yuugi!"

"You mean...the spirit of the millennium puzzle?" He asked and she nodded. He didn't say anything to confirm or deny it but she was sure at this point. Her returning crush only deepened her resolve to make him admit it.

"So...basically you like Y –um, Mutou-san," He said slowly and from the way she blushed obviously he got his answer.

"Yuugi you can't tell him, I would be so embarrassed and he'd be so uncomfortable tutoring me," She pleaded and he looked at her in surprise.

"Why would I tell him? Anzu, you can trust me," He told her with a sweet smile and she sighed in relief. Yuugi was all milk chocolate, 100% pure hearted sugar.

"Besides," He continued flippantly, "I'm sure he already knows."

Maybe he wasn't that sweet after all.

"What?"

"Well if you haven't noticed he's not stupid."

She groaned pressing a hand to her face and said, "So you're saying only a stupid person couldn't figure it out?"

He thought for a moment, violet eyes shifting across the ceiling then finally said, "Yep, pretty much." She groaned again and mumbled something along the lines of 'no wonder only Jounouchi and Honda haven't figured it out.'

"Actually it was Bakura-kun who told me. He said he left something in the second dance studio so he came to get it but when he went to go in Mutou-san stopped him and asked where studio three was so he pointed it out to him. He went in and Ishtar-kun left but he stayed in there so Bakura figured you were in there with him...he said Mutou-san acted more like a friend towards you then a teacher. It made me think maybe you were a little more than just friends." Anzu listened, wondering how it was she hadn't noticed that Bakura was there that day.

"But we are just friends!" She protested. "At least, that's how he sees me. I'm pretty sure he knows I know he's not just your cousin and we've become friends but it's not like we're secretly dating," She added to make sure Yuugi didn't get the wrong idea. He frowned a little, looking confused.

"But don't you like him?"

"Just because I like him doesn't mean he likes me," She said a little sadly, then shook it off. Marik would notice right away if her dancing was off because she was sulking.

"But Anzu" –

"Sorry Yuugi, Marik-kun is super impatient, I've gotta go. I'll call you later!" She called, already headed for the door. He could only watch as she hid back inside her dance room and sigh, wondering what he should do.

A/N: Yuugi is such a sweetheart, and milk chocolate is my favourite! Next chapter will be much better though I think; I just wanted to give Yuugi a little love to.

Here's a preview for the next chapter:

He turned in time to see the shorter and smaller boy with his sweet smile on his face padding towards him on bare feet, his snow white shirt which matched his hair still unbuttoned at the top.

Stop! Stop noticing!

Marik ordered himself, looking anywhere but at the other boy. His first time in a change room with another human being in months and he was already trying to get himself thrown out as a 'fag'. He shuddered internally at the derogatory term.

Well not being able to tie a tie had to count for something right?

Next chapter will be a long one and another character will be introduced! I wonder who it could possibly be. Like it isn't obvious ;)
