Night began to descend rapidly. Anzu was in the room getting ready with help from one of the maids.
"You look absolutely stunning Miss." The maid said.
"Thank you Ana." Anzu replied.
"Do you plan to wear any jewelry miss?" She asked.
"I would like to but I don't have anything that would really go with what I'm wearing." She answered.
Ana was silent for a moment before she spoke up again. "Stay right here Miss. I have something that will work." She said then left the room.
A few moments later, she returned with a blue velvet box in her hands.
"Ana what is this?" Anzu asked as she turned towards her.
"My great-grandmother gave this to my mother who, before she died, gave it to me. Since I'm not able to have children, I have no one to pass it onto. It's been in my family since the 16th century and I would like for you to have it." Ana explained as she opened the box.
Anzu gasped as she saw what lay inside. It was a beautiful 16 carat diamond necklace with a deep blue jewel in the shape of a teardrop in the middle with tiny diamonds surrounding the teardrop. The two-inch matching dangling earrings also had tiny diamonds hanging in a straight line with a smaller blue teardrop jewel on the end and the bracelet had diamonds with a blue jewel every two diamonds. (A/N: This is completely made up and I don't know if it exists. Wouldn't be surprised though if it did.)
"Ana I can't possibly take these." Anzu whispered.
"Please…as a thank you. I've been taking care of Mr. Kaiba since he was a child and I've never seen him happier. He's been kinder to the others as well. Besides it makes no sense for this to just sit in a box when it can be worn." She told her.
"Ana…thank you. I really don't know what to say." Anzu said, her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Live your life, stay together…and don't cry." She responded as she handed Anzu a tissue.
Anzu laughed as a tear rolled from the corner of her eye and down her cheek. She lightly dabbed at her eyes so not to ruin her make-up.
"All right, now turn back so we can do something with your hair."
-An Hour Later-
Seto was a little nervous…worried…and irritated. Anzu hadn't come down yet and his business associates were beginning to get restless. He was irritated at them and nervous and worried about Anzu. He had sent Mokuba upstairs to find out what was going on five minutes ago and he hadn't come back yet.
"So Seto my boy where is this girl I keep hearing so much about?" Mr. Landen asked.
Before he could answer, Mokuba came running up to him. "Here's the little messenger now." He said.
"She's coming down now." He said then turned to go over with the group of children sitting at a table in the corner.
"She's on her way. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I will go get her." He told Mr. Landen and walked away.
He entered the hallway from the large dining/ballroom and went to the stairs where Anzu would be coming down. He heard a slight shuffle and raised his head to see her descending the stairs. He looked at her in awe, she looked so beautiful. Her hair was wrapped in a French twist tight against her head with a decorative comb and had tiny diamonds spiraled throughout her hair. The dress hugged her curves nicely. The jewelry was an added final touch.
"God you look gorgeous." He said as he stepped up to her, making her blush.
"Thank you…you don't look too bad yourself." She replied as they leaned in to kiss.
"Where did you get these? I've never seen them before." He asked.
"They were given to me by an old friend." She replied.
"It looks great on you." He said.
"Thank you." She repeated.
"All right well we have to go in now. A few of my business associates are more than anxious to meet you." He said.
"And why is that?" She asked as she looped er arm around his.
"To see if you meet their standards but don't worry too much about it, they do this to all the other important figures." He explained.
"Why would they do that?" She asked.
"Their way of keeping control and making sure there are no distractions. But rest assure, they've never been able to manipulate my way of thinking. Besides, according to Mokuba I need a distraction and I don't mind having you." He told her.
"Thanks…I think."
"No it was meant as a good thing, believe me. Now it's time to use that same charm that got me." He said and they stepped into the room.
An hour later they were being served dinner. Anzu was getting along nicely with the other business people. Seto watched as she interacted with the children as well, getting them to sit still and behave during the meal by promising to play with them afterwards. This helped strengthen his courage. He was about to take a huge step…a huge risky step. He stood up from his chair and walked over to Anzu, kneeling beside her. All commotion at the tables seemed to slow to a stop when they noticed what he was doing.
"Seto what is it?" She asked, turning to him after seeing the look on his face.
"We've been through a lot together these last few months, a great deal on both parts and during this I've come to realize I don't always have to act like a bastard to get what I want. I never thought I needed anyone and I would get by just fine without. But after spending so much time with you, I've realized that isn't true."
Anzu had a look on her face that clearly said she was confused as to where he was going with this.
"I love you…I don't know for how long but I do." He added.
Her gasp was audible as he spoke those words. He then reached into his pocket, extracting something from it. Anzu's breath hitched in her throat when she saw the ring he presented. It was a silver platinum band set with two-carat pink diamonds.
"Seto what are you-" She began.
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
She stared at it for a moment. She knew it was expensive, just by the diamonds alone. She couldn't believe he was putting so much on this and she couldn't believe what she was about to say.
"Yes…yes I will." She replied.
Seto exhaled sharply as relief flooded his face. He slid the ring on her finger as she leaned into to kiss him. the audience in the room began applauding.
"I love you too." She whispered as they broke apart.
-What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
And I can't back down
I've been losing so much time-
During this past month, she's opened up a side of myself to me that I wasn't completely conscious of, allowing me to see the world in a whole other way.
-Cuz there's you and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove-
Through the trying times we've been through together, I've come to realize a few things: this world is full of many sick and twisted individuals who create incredible horrors upon people they deem weaker than them, no one is ever truly alone and even people like me can fall unexpectedly.
-And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you-
In conclusion, I feel she is perhaps the most intelligent, unselfish, caring and exquisitely beautiful person I have ever meet. Not one day goes by that I regret the day I met her.
-All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here-During this time, I've found that he's not exactly the way everyone thought he was, it's just a cover-up. But with being the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, you have to be ruthless in order to get things done right.
-Cuz there's you and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove-
I believe he is perfectly fine the way he is. He is loyal, caring and brilliant. Though sometimes he may not think on how his actions will affect other people, it's okay. He's human and he's allowed to make mistakes (even though he'll deny it).
-And it's you and me
And of all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you-
I'm grateful for that day when we first crossed paths, not knowing we would be where we are now. If I could do it all over again I would. All the pain and torment I endured would be incommensurable to the love, comfort and acceptance I feel now.
-Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right-
-One year later-
"We are gathered here today to join these two together in holy matrimony. The vows have been said and rings exchanged."
-Cuz there's you and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And there's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you-
"If, for any reason, anyone believes that these two should not be wed, speak now…or forever hold your peace."
-Cuz there's you and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove-
"Seto Kaiba…do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part…for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
-And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you-
"Anzu Mazaki…do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part…for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Then by the power vested in me…I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Seto reached over and lifted the veil that was hiding her beautiful face from him and kissed her deeply. A loud cheer erupted from the guests. It had been a beautiful service. Joey had been the one to give her away, which made sense because he and Seto had more problems than Bakura and Yugi did. She wished her parents could've been there to see it but knew they were watching her.
-What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive-

Well that's it...it's all over. I hoped you enjoyed it greatly and I'll try to work on my other ones soon. It's been getting a bit hard cuz I lack inspiration for them at the moment. I did start another one but I don't know if it'll ever make to here. Once I get it close to done and deem it worthy then I'll post it. However that may be awhile. Also, at the end where it says "She wished her parents could've been there to see it but knew they were watching her.", I always have it where her parents are deadsince there's never any mention of them in the anime or manga (as far as I know). However I do love other people's interpretation of how her parents would be, those are always funny and I don't want to attempt that cuz I'll screw it up so I don't bother. Hope that clarifies some confusion about that.
