Hey Guys! It's so good to see you all again ^.^! First, I'd like to thank Atem-tea4ever, and Becca-Loves-Yuge (FORMERLY known as Mutant Enemy 101. That's right, she changed her name AND pic!) for their reviews! Here's a cookie for each of you. Enjoy! Second, um... something happened and well... I won't be able to update for a while. I was fortunate enough to get this done. I'm really sorry guys T.T
Saki: *comforts Akai* No need to worry.
Tadao: Yeah, she's right. We can't control these things. Just keep doing you and you'll get through it.
Me: You guys are right! Ok, here comes chapter 3!
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!
Chapter 3
Saki had just pulled up at Anzu's house.
"Miss, you're home." Anzu opened her eyes and yawned.
"Thank you Saki." Saki nodded and Anzu got out of the car and walked to her 'house'. Scratch that, it was more like a mansion. No, there wasn't a fountain in the front with big gates protecting it. There was however, a very large house with balconies at almost every window. And that was just the outside. Anzu walked in and quickly closed the door. She then walked through the grand room (Those really big rooms that really have no purpose in a house but rich people always seem to have). She made her way to the stairs and went up to her room. She plopped on her bed. Each time she tried to close her eyes, they would shoot open. Out of frustration, she walked to the window of the balcony. She stared intensely at the harsh weather that was being displayed in front of her. Only to her, it wasn't harsh, just… misunderstood. Anzu sighed to herself and went back to her bed. "Today wasn't all bad I guess." she mumbled. She crawled on her bed and hid under the covers. She then allowed sleep to slowly take her in its comforting muse.
About two hours after the show was over, Atem was on his way to his hotel/home. He was being taken there by his friend Duke. Yugi was sleeping on Atem's lap. So their conversation was low.
"What? You helped Anzu Mazaki?!" whispered Duke. Atem nodded.
"Yeah, she looked like she needed it."
"But dude! She's a horrible person! She's so cold-hearted and mean! Not to mention she ruined your first show tonight."
"No, she improved it if you ask me. Plus, I talked with her too. And she didn't look horrible to me." Duke shook his head.
"That's because she's a business woman. All business people know how to manipulate. And how did she improve it?!" Yugi groaned.
"SSSHHH!" Duke quickly covered his mouth. Yugi then shifted positions and slept once again. "Phew… anyway, she improved it because my shows have been average lately." Duke raised an eyebrow while stopping at a red light.
"What do you mean?"
"Well… I mean… it's like…, my shows have been normal. I go on stage, make a few jokes, people laugh, then I go to my home or hotel, depending on where I am. Well... given the fact that I live in a hotel." Atem looked out the window with a distant look on his face. The light then turned green and Duke continued his driving.
"Atem… if you ask me, you should just forget about it. I mean it's not like you'll ever see her again."
"You've got a point there. Maybe I should just let this go." Atem then leaned his head against the window while looking out to the city, seeing the lights, the cars. "Just… let… go." Before Atem dozed off, they pulled up at his home/hotel. Atem sighed and said "Thanks Duke."
"No problem, anytime!" Atem poked Yugi on the head to wake up. Yugi giggled and yawned.
"Say bye to Duke, Yugi."
"Bye-bye!" Atem chuckled and shook Duke's hand before exiting the car. Yugi got out first, then Atem. They made a hasty walk inside since it was cold. "I had fun today bro." said Yugi with his hands behind his head. Atem smiled and looked down to him as they made their way through the lobby.
"I'm glad you had fun." Yugi giggled.
"Yeah, and that lady you were talking to before sure was pretty." Atem stopped dead in his tracks, wide eyed. Yugi then stopped and turned around to see his brother a bit pale. "Are you ok?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine, no worries here!" Atem then began to laugh nervously. Yugi gave him a cheeky smile.
"Uh-huh, sure you are." They then walked into the elevator and kept going back and forth with this. When the doors opened, they were arguing, saying that Atem was acting weird.
"Am not." said Atem.
"Are too!" Yugi shot back.
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!" They then entered their 'room'. Please… more like a penthouse suite made for at least eight people to live in! They were still going at it.
"No!"
"Yes!" Out of frustration, Atem stuck his tongue out at his little brother. Yugi mimicked his brother by doing the same thing. They both then looked at each other for a minute, and then they laughed.
"Alright, what do you want to eat bro?" asked Atem walking to the living room. Yugi tapped his chin while making a 'hmm' sound. Yugi then plopped cutely on the sofa. Atem chuckled.
"Yugi want a… HAMBURGER!" Yugi then raised his hands in the air. Atem shook his head and sighed.
"I don't even know why I asked."
"Neither do I." Atem chuckled as Yugi turned on the TV. And sure enough, SpongeBob was the first thing on it.
"Yugi… I don't know if you should watch that…"
"Shut it chum bucket!" Atem had no idea how to respond to that. Was that an insult?
"Uh… yeah, you're definitely not going to watch it now." Atem walked over and changed the channel. When he did, he found a show called "Regular Show". Atem left it there and walked to his room to get room service on the line. (A/N, tsk, tsk, tsk, Atem you should never judge a book by its cover XD!). After about a good 30 minutes of waiting for their dinner, Atem walked in with Yugi's burger and a plate of lobster for Atem. Yugi gave him a sour face. "What's wrong?"
"It has pickles!" Atem chuckled.
"Sorry, looks like you're just going to have to deal with it."
"Turd." mumbled Yugi. Atem went wide eyed. He then started to pay attention to the TV. A blue bird and a brown raccoon were going 'Turds!' Atem blinked, then he grabbed the remote and quickly changed to a show called (A/N, I was gonna do this originally instead of regular show, but then I thought 'WHY NOT BOTH!'XD)"Family Guy". Atem then went to the window not paying attention to the show at all. He completely missed the part where the dog was being brutally assaulted by the baby (The episode where Brian owed Stewie money). Atem heard Yugi laugh, so he chuckled in response. Atem looked out the window, and what he saw shocked him. He has never seen such a harsh display of weather in his life. But then, out of nowhere, he remembered Anzu's eyes. He couldn't stop thinking about them. They resembled the weather that was outside. There was one difference. Atem saw hope in her eyes. It was vague, but it was there.
"AAAAHHHH!" Atem quickly turned his attention to Yugi who was hiding behind the couch. Atem then looked at the TV and saw a cartoon Michael Jackson shooting his nuts to kingdom come. Atem dove for the remote and went back to SpongeBob as fast as he possibly could. Yugi came out from hiding and Atem hugged him.
"I am so sorry. I should've paid more attention."
"It's ok Atem." Atem then looked at his little brother.
"He's going to be a very brave adult." thought Atem. Then the phone to their room rang. Atem was about to answer it when Yugi beat him to the punch.
"Hello?" said Yugi. "Oh hey Joey! Yeah, he's here." Atem tried to reach the phone, but Yugi kept it out of his reach. "Whoa really?! Yeah well, my brother met Anzu Mazaki today." Atem face palmed. "Don't worry, I got it. I'm not a big mouth you know. No… oh ok. Bye Joey!" Yugi then hung up the phone and turned to Atem who had his arms crossed and tapping his foot with an annoyed expression on his face.
"So… what were you talking about?" Yugi giggled.
"Nothin'."
"Uh-huh, like I'm gonna believe that." Yugi then ran away before Atem could ask any more questions. Atem sighed and went to look out the window again. Atem took out his phone and took a picture. He then noticed the time. It was… 11:30 at night! Atem blinked and then went looking for Yugi. It was way passed his bedtime. "Where oh where could my little brother be?" Atem looked in all the small places first… nothing. Then he looked in obvious places… nothing. Atem raised an eyebrow to this. Yugi really got good at hiding. Atem searched everywhere at this point. "Wait! I forgot about…" he trailed off in thought as he went to the one place he didn't check. The one place he hadn't checked yet… the kitchen. Atem quietly walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Hmmm… I wonder if I should make a chocolate cake or maybe some chocolate chip cookies. I sure wish Yugi was here to help me." He then heard Yugi giggle. Atem looked around to find where it was coming from. "Oh well… I thought he would want to have chocolate for breakfast." With that Yugi jumped from the cabinet and landed right in Atem's arms. "Found you." Yugi pouted.
"No fair, you tricked me!" Atem chuckled.
"No I didn't. Now, you have to go to bed. It's way passed your bedtime kid."
"AWWW but I don't wanna!"
"Alright, let's make a deal." Yugi raised an eyebrow.
"Hm…?"
"If you go to sleep now we'll have an all candy and chocolate breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow." Yugi went wide eyed. He then jumped from Atem's arms and ran to his bed. Atem saw the lights go out in Yugi's room. Atem chuckled and took out his cell phone to call Joey. It rang on the other end but it went to voicemail. "Oh well, I guess I'll just call him tomorrow then." Atem then prepared for bed. When he went to his bed, he got under the blankets and was prepared to sleep. But every time he closed his eyes, he would see those big, blue eyes.
After an hour of trying to sleep, Atem gave up. He groaned in frustration. He then sat up to try to relax. "What's wrong with me?" as if out of reflex, Atem grabbed his phone and called Joey again.
"Eh… hello?" Atem's eyes widened.
"Joey!"
"Mind not yellin' so loud buddy."
"Sorry, so… what were you and Yugi talking about before?" Joey sighed.
"Is dat what's dis is about?" asked Joey. Atem laughed nervously. Joey sighed again. "Fine, we were talkin' bout my day and how I met a pro wrestler." Atem went wide eyed. "Oh and Yugi told me about you and Anzu Mazaki." Atem cringed.
"Look, she needed help, so I helped her." Joey snickered.
"Did you seal it with a kiss?"
"NO!" Joey started laughing.
"Relax, I was joking. Anyway, I asked Yugi if you two were busy tomorrow."
"No, we're free, why?"
"Cuz, I wanted to hang out with my buds that's all."
"Oh, ok. What did you have in mind?"
"Well, I was drivin' around da other day when I found this place called "The Squeeze". I went in it and it was like a library/karaoke place. People can read, eat, drink, or do whatever."
"Cool, yeah let's go there."
"Awesome, I'll get you two around three to four in the afternoon."
"Alright, bye."
"Bye," Joey then hung up. I chuckled and put his phone down to go to sleep. I felt sleep finally taking over. Before he knew it, he was fast asleep; he was finally playing the sandman's most well-known game.
In Yugi's room, Yugi's phone rang (Yeah, that's right. Yugi's got a phone and he's SIX!). Yugi rubbed his eyes and looked at the caller ID. It was Joey…?
"Hey Joey" said Yugi in a raspy voice.
"What's up little buddy?"
"Nothing, I was just sleeping."
"Yeah well so was I until your brother woke me up." Yugi giggled.
"What did you tell him?"
"Eh… nothin' really. Just about 'The Squeeze'"
"Oh yeah! Hey do you really think that it's the same person?"
"It has to be. Even if it's not, then I dunno!"
"I hope you're right."
"Me too. Well anyway, good night."
"Good night," They both hung up. Yugi went back to sleep.
