Anzu's POV

My heart dropped to the ground once I heard those six words.

I Have A Crush On You...

It echoed in my head like I was in a cave. I stared at Yugi, with wide eyes. "Y-Yugi..."

I can't believe this is happening. THIS IS INSANE! I have this weird feeling in my stomach now!

It's either because one, Yami kissed me on the cheek or two, Yugi just confessed that he liked me. He continued. "I love you Anzu. I've loved you since we were kids. I just didn't have the courage to tell you."

My face started heating up. "Seriously?" He nodded. "Now, my alter-ego is trying to take you for himself."

"What? A-Are you crazy Yugi?" He walked up to me, with a determined look on his face. "Be honest when I ask you this Anzu." What was he going to ask me?... I nodded.

"Do you like my other soul?" I blushed. He said to be honest...Gosh. "M-Maybe.."

I told the truth and lied to him at the same time. Clever right? He scowled and looked to the ground. "Why.." I feel like somethings about to happen...

He looked into my eyes. "Well, I hope this changes that.."

"Huh?" He leaned in to kiss me. I quickly moved my head and backed up. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "Anzu..I..I..-"

Tears came down my eyes. "I..I'm sorry!" I said running away. I ran all the way to my house. I stopped in front of my door.

I looked at the door steps. I can't believe Yugi tried to kiss me. My bestfriend tried to kiss me! And I broke his heart! Not to mention I also left him in the dark alone!

I opened the door slowly and closed it. Phew, my mom isn't here. I walked up to my room and got ready to go to bed. I was really tired and it was 1 in the morning. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

But I couldn't. I kept thinking of Yugi trying to kiss me and Yami kissing me on the cheek. Also, that Yami AND Yugi both love me. But I only like one of them back. And that's Yami. I can't face Yugi at school. I don't even think I can wake up to go to school..

My eyes grew heavy, and I was fast asleep.

The next day...

I woke up to the bright sun shining in my eyes...How WONDERFUL. How did my curtains open?... I groaned and sat up, then rubbed my temples. "Ugh..I have to get ready for school.."

I brushed my teeth, then went to take a shower. I thought about Yugi and Yami as the warm water sprayed on my back. Did I make them rivals?... I was about to get my first kiss stolen by Yugi, and the next time I see Yami, I probably would get my first kiss. I want my first kiss to be by Yami! I hope Yugi doesn't try to try it again today. Although we may not talk..

I wonder if Yami and I could be a couple. I thought about it for a minute.. Nope, that wouldn't work out..

I dried myself off, dried my hair, put my uniform and shoes on. I grabbed my book bag and went downstairs to see my mom watching the news with a cup of coffee.

"M-Morning mom."

"Good morning darling." Oh NO! What if she knows about me coming home late!? It's okay, I just won't bring it up. But if she brings it up, I'll just tell her 'I got kidnapped by a group of men and my bestfriends alter-ego, whom I have a crush on, came and saved me and he treated my wounds, then he confessed to me and kissed me on the cheek and when his other soul came back he also confessed to me and tried to kiss me but i moved and rejected him, so now we're probably going to avoid each other and now I don't know what to think of when his alter-ego kissed me and i'm ANGRY'

Yeahhhhhhh, NO.

I finished eating my breakfast then I began to walk to school. I guess she didn't find out. Yugi usually walks with me to school...But all because of him trying to kiss me! Well I can't blame it on him, I moved away...But I don't like him, I like YamiiiiARRGGHHH!

Suddenly I felt something cold, hard and slim hit me in the head. "Ow!" It was a pole. That pole in front of Domino High. I sighed and walked into the school. Well, I am 30 minutes early, so I sat down in one of the classes desks. I lay down sighing. "Could this day get any worse..?"

Just then, I heard Jounouchi and Yugi talking outside of the hall. UGH, I JINXED IT! Being Anzu, I began to listen to what they were saying.

"Hey Yug, you seem pretty down. You alright?" Yugi sighed. "Not really.."

"Come on buddy, tell me whats the matter." He took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. "Well..You know about my crush on Anzu, right?"

"Mhm..Yeahh..?"

"W-Well.." He said looking down. "L..Last night, I confessed to her." Joeys eyes lit up. "Really!? You go Yug! Thats-"

"Jounouchi-kun..Let me tell you the rest." He nodded. "After I confessed to her...Well..Um.." He sighed. "Apparently, she likes my other soul.."

"You mean that other soul that gives you nightmares and wakes up you up in the middle of the middle of the night?" Yugi nodded slowly. "WHAT!?"

"It's true. So after I heard that, I-I tried to kiss her. But she moved away, then started crying..." Jounouchi looked at Yugi sadly. "I'm so sorry Yugi..."

Yugi smiled sadly. "It's fine, really! I just don't know if I can face her today. I might as well change into my other soul." Jounouchi clenched his hands. "I'll beat up that other soul!"

No! How could he say that! This is why I need more female friends besides Miho and Rebecca! Speaking of Rebecca, she goes to Domino High now. That 12 year old is a freshman, can you believe that?! That's insane! Not to mention that she acts like Yugi and her are dating, kissing him on the cheek, hugging him, holding his hand and calling him 'cutie' and 'darling'...But I don't care.

All I care about is if that little twerp does that to Yami, ohhh, then I'll get mad. I began to get to up to walk to my first period. Then I stopped. I just remembered Jounouchi and Yugi are standing out the door! I face palmed. I took a deep breath, and walked out the door. I didn't dare to look at either one of them. From the corner of my eye, I saw Yugi with wide eyes and blushing.

"WHAT! You were in there all this time!?" Jounouchi said. I stopped dead in my tracks, but didn't answer him. Yugi was fiddling with his fingers. Then he smiled a little, with even more red on his face. "G-Good morning...A-A-Anzu.." All I did was ran off to class.

Jounouchi clenched his hands. "ARRGHH! I tell you, I get no respect at all!" I heard him yell.

Well you know what Jounouchi? You don't deserve any respect!

Yugi slid down on the floor. "She hates me...I might as well date Rebecca now.." Jounouchi looked like he was going to throw up. "No!"

Those idiots. Well, mostly Jounouchi.

After all six classes of torture, school was finally done. I went to my locker to get my books. I stuffed them all into my bag and speed walked to the double doors.

I defiantly do NOT want to run into Yugi now. I probably will though, knowing he takes the same route as me walking home.

I walked the the side walk slowly, then sighed. I wonder if I'll see Yami again? I wonder...Then I suddenly heard footsteps against the sidewalk. I looked behind me, karma is real, it was Yugi.

"No!" I whisper shouted to myself. I began walking faster.

"Anzu!" He said calling out my name. The footsteps began to move faster.

NO! He's running! Okay then, I'll run to then! It was like a race to see who would get where first. Then he ran in front me making me stop.

He was panting. "Hey..." He continued. "You know your legs are longer than mines.."

"I don't care!" I said trying to move away from him. He moved right back in front of me. "At least let me speak.."

I stood there looking at him. "I wanted to apologize to you...You know, about trying to kiss you. I had no right to do that and you had the right to move away. So i'm sorry. I just don't want to continue avoiding each other."

I stared at him, then looked to the ground. "I know. It's just that I was so surprised and..I wasn't ready for my first kiss just yet."

He nodded. "And, I love someone else." He rolled his eyes. "I'm aware."

Woah, he seems annoyed. "I hope you don't like me anymore." I said hopefully.

"Nope. I still like you."

"As a friend right?" He shook his head. "As a friend and the other way."

Oh good grief. I sighed. "Anyways, let's go home." He nodded. "Guess what?"

"What?"

"I didn't get my duel monster cards taken away that night. What about you?"

"My mom wasn't even home."

I suddenly smelt smoke. Then I felt heat. I looked to my right, and something was caught on fire. It was a store! With a person in it!

"Oh no! Yugi look!" He looked to where I was looking. "Oh my god!"

Being Anzu, I ran to the store. Yugi gasped. "No! Anzu! Don't! Thats way too dangerous!"

I whipped my head over to him. "Dangerous!? Those people could die in there!"

"You could die in there! I won't let you!" He said he said grabbing my arm. I snatched it away, and ran for my life. Inside, i meant.

As soon as I stepped in there, I went light headed. I began to sweat instantly. I walkes through the store, until I found the people. It was a lady and her baby!

She was crying along with the baby. "HELP ME! PLEASE!"

I coughed. This is bad for my lungs! I wiped sweat off my face. "Come! Take my hand quick!" She took it and i led her out halfway with her baby. "Yugi! Take her out!" I yelled to him.

"Okay!" He said from outside the door. He took the ladys hand. After they were out. He came back "Come on, Anzu! Take my hand! Hurry!"

The fire began to spread trapping me deep in the store. "I can't!" I began to cough more. The fire rose really high, so I couldn't see Yugi.

I felt like I was already dead, but I wasn't. I was coughing like crazy along with sweating. I fell on the floor. "Help me..."

The fire was growing closer to me. "Help..."

"Thats why i'm here.." A voice said. It was a familiar voice. What?...Who could've been able to come inside? I suddenly felt myself being picked up. I was being helped out of the fire.

After a minute or so, I was breathing fresh air. I finally felt alive again. Thank goodness.

I think I almost died. At least I helped someone. I was set on a bench. I was being shook. I heard someone saying 'Anzu'.

My eyea fluttered open. I looked around until my eyes set on one person. It was Yami!

OH MY GOSH! YAMI!... YAMI!?

I gasped and sat up. He smiled. "Welcome back sleeping beauty."

"Y-Yami.." I looked closer at him. He had a few burns on his arms and hands. He was also drenched with sweat, which by the way made him look as hot as ever! No pun intended.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded and blushed. "A-Are you?"

He ignored my question. "Anzu. Do not ever...Do that again." He said sternly. My eyes widened. "I was helping a person. She also had a baby!"

"I understand that. But you could've died. Please, do not do reckless stuff like that." I nodded. Geez, I didn't know he could be so..Stern.

I immediately remember what he said last time. 'Next time, it won't be on the cheek'. I blushed. He continued. "Anyways Anzu," He said helping me up. "I do believe you remember what I said last time?"

I blushed a very deep crimson red. I feel butterflies in my stomach! I nodded slowly.

He smirked. "Good. I feel like doing it right about...Now."

My whole face was as red as a tomato. I was shaking and sweating. Okay! I'm ready. Keep your cool Anzu..

He then, leaned in slowly. I closed my eyes. This is it...This is the moment of my dreams...

I felt a finger on my lips. My eyes opened fast. "You don't just get a kiss until I get a thank you."I blushed. Ugh, this guy! "T-Thank y-"

Then our of nowhere, His lips pressed against mines. Everything stoped.

I felt warm lips press on mines. I closed my eyes slowly. At first, his lips tasted spicy, kind of like cinnamon. Then it tasted sweet like sugar. The kiss went into deeper kiss. I felt him slowly moving his lips against mines. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

Is this happening?! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! We're kissing! I'm gonna faint!...

Should I put my arms around his neck? That's what your supposed to do right? I tried moving my arms, but I couldn't. I was just frozen. And running out of breath!

He just kept kissing me, moving his lips slowly on mines. I can't believe this is really happening. Is this real?... The person I like is kissing me?... I began to feel weak. As if he was taking out my soul from a kiss. He made my whole body weak. He was kissing me softly. I can't fall! I'll blow it if I do!

After a reallly long time, he parted from me. He turned his head away. Is he hiding something? I got a closer look, he was panting. Well, I guess he was running out of air too. He looked at me then smirked. "I hope that will make you stay out of danger, princess."

I blushed and turned around. I felt butterflies in my stomach. "S-so that's why you did it..." I don't know why, but I could see him smirk from the back of my head. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind. "Or.." He whispered in my ear. "Would you rather more...than a kiss?..." I felt his hot breath travel down my spine. I blushed really deep. What is he saying!? "W-What are you saying...?"

"I think you know what I'm saying..." He said, still his arms around me from the back. I got out of his grasp, sat on the bench, and covered my face. I do NOT want his to see my face. It's probably looking like a bomb right now. "N-N-No! I'm not...-" I heard a chuckle. "I'm just kidding, Anzu." I blushed even more. HOW DARE HE...

I took a peek at him. He was sitting on the bench, with his eyes closed. I noticed a burn on his face and hands. "Yami.." I said pointing at them. He looked at his hand. "It's fine..-"

"No!" I yelled. "You always treat my wounds, so I need to treat yours." He looked at me blandly. "You don't necessarily need to.."

"Yes I do." He raised his eyebrow. "Okay, here? With nothing?" I rolled my eyes. "At my house, dummy." I started to walk. "Let's go." He stood up and started to follow me. "But it's only a matter of time until that boy comes back."

"Okay," I grabbed his wrist, careful not to touch the burn. "Then we better hurry! And.." I looked at him. "When you say boy, you mean Yugi right?" He nodded.

"Your his friend right? Why don't you call him 'Yugi'?" He sighed. "Were not friends. How can we be. He's also not very fond of me." Oh yeah..I remember. Yugi doesn't really like Yami. Multiple reasons.

We arrived at my house. I carefully opened the door. "My mom isn't home..So you can come in. But I don't know when she'll be back."

"Oh? Your the bad type, hm?" I froze and glared at him, for the first time. "No I am NOT. This is actually my first time sneaking someone in the house." We walked in and went up the stairs to my room. "Stay here, while I get the stuff." He nodded.

"Don't touch ANYTHING." He looked at me curiously. "Why would I?" He smiled. "Are you hiding something from me?" Actually I am! I was secretly writing about him in journal.

"I-I don't know! You might be a snooper! And I-I am not hiding anything!" He sat on my bed. "So you wouldn't mind if I look at that journal of yours?" He said pointing to my pink journal on my bed. I blushed and snatched it up. "You can't now so ha! Stay here!" I said running to the bathroom. I took out band-aids, alcohol, cotton balls and stuff. I walked to back to my room. I looked at my bed to see Yami sitting where I left him. "Did you touch anything?"

"No."

"Good." I walked up to him and set the things down. "Wound number one, hand. " I put alcohol on it, the started rubbing it. It must hurt... I looked at his expression. He was looking at the ceiling, with a bland expression? How!? I would scream! "Does it hurt..?"

"Not really." I looked back at his hand and placed a band-aid on it. "Wound number two, face." I blushed as I got close to his face. I tried not to sweat. I did the same I did with with hand, then placed a band-aid on it. "Okay were done-"

"No, actually..." He said lifting up his shirt a little. "There's one here." I flushed lightly. "O-Okay.." I tried to rub it, but his shirt kept falling down. He noticed.. "Oh..This will help." He lifted up his shirt, and took it off. I almost screamed! I blushed really deep and turned around. "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing." I turned back around and took a deep breath. I started to rub alcohol on his torso. I couldn't help but to look at his six pack. I blushed really deep. Come on Anzu! Cool yourself! I kept staring at his six pack. And staring...And staring. "Nice view?"

I gasped and fiddled with my fingers. "U-Uh..T-That's not it! I-I," He just chuckled, enjoying my embarrassment. "Want a better view?" He said laying down on my bed. I blushed even more. "N-No! S-Sto-AH!" I slipped. I fell right on top on him, on the bed. "I thought that kiss was keeping you out of danger." He held my waist. "Maybe you need another one.."

I blushed. My face was close to his. "Y-Yami.." He gave a me a quick, gentle kiss. "Do you promise not to be reckless anymore?" I nodded. "Yami..I have a question.."

"Anything."

"Are we...U-Um..D-Dating?" His expression changed. "We can't.."

"Why-"

"Because," He said. "I'm Yugi's other soul. If we were to date, it wouldn't work out." He held me tighter. "Not because we wouldn't get along. But because I live in the Millennium Puzzle."

"Then we have to get you out! So you can have your own body."

"Is it because you want to date me.." I shook my head. "Doesn't it get lonely in the puzzle? Don't you want to live a normal life? Instead of coming out just because of danger?" He sighed. "Yes but it's not possible.."

"It has to be possible. If it's possible to have two souls, why can't that be?" He didn't answer. She got up. "If we break the puzzle, maybe-"

"NO!" He shouted. She jumped, startled, with a shocked expression. "Y-Yami.." He sighed. "I'm sorry for shouting..But we mustn't break the puzzle. I was trapped in there was 5000 years."

"What!?"

"And Yugi, he reassembled the puzzle. Which freed me..kind of.." I'm still clueless, but whatever. I hugged him. "Whatever happens, just know that I'll do it. I'll make sure you can live normal, with your own body to live with."

I waited until he would hug me back, or answer me, but he didn't. I guess he's not a fan of hugs? But why does he ignore me sometimes?

"Hey, why don't you answer me?"

"I answered you just now. Or does my my princess need more to satisfy her?" I blushed, for the one millionth time today. "But seriously..."

"Some of your questions don't need answers." Hmm..I don't know how to take that. "Okay then..Are you going to hug me back?" He stayed silent. I rolled my eyes. See what I mean? "Hellooo?"

"My embraces aren't very...comfortable.." I giggled. His grew a tint of red. Wow, he's cute when he blushes! He should do it more often.

I totally forgot he had no shirt on.

I released him quickly. He grabbed his shirt and he put it back on. "I've never...Had a bond which contains embraces and such..."

Yami... I need to set him free! He smiled. "Expect kissing. I'm a pro at that." I laughed. Maybe i'll rethink helping him.. Just kidding. We walked downstairs to the front door. I opened it.

"I should leave now...It won't be very pleasant if my other self wakes up in your house, with cured wounds and this feeling.." Wait, what? Feeling? "What feeling?"

"Nevermind..I'll be going now.." I nodded. "Bye.." I said a little sad. He held my hand gently, and kissed it. "Goodbye, Anzu."

I blushed. How many times has he made me blush?! He's a real gentlemen.. He walked off as I closed the door. I looked at my hand. Not ever have I felt this way... Just seeing Jounouchi and Honda gave me the definition of boys, and you know how that goes... But I guess everyone is different. Yugi doesn't goof around like they do. But he does talk to himself... I bet even Yami can have a humorous side to himself. I just need to find it...And get him a real life..
