Authors Note: I hope the title didn't throw you off…well anyway this is a love story about Anzu and Kaiba & Shizuka (Serenity) and Duke. I'm using the Japanese names coz I've got too used to them; except for Duke coz I like that name.:) The characters in this fan fic are: Anzu Mazaki (Tea Gardner), Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, Hiroto Honda (Triston Taylor), Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler), and Yugi Mutou. Oh and the reason I used: Sango, Kayko, Sakura and Rei is because I couldn't think of names for Anzu's friends and I wanted to have Japanese names.:) So just picture them at age 16. Enjoy!
Is it Love?
Anzu stepped out of Kaiba's car with him right behind her carrying her books. As soon as they reached the school gates the paparazzi was around them taking snapshots of them together. Anzu loved Kaiba so much that she didn't care that their relationship could be read in any magazine on the Corner Newsstand.
Kaiba took her hand as they entered the school building. "Why don't they get a life, and leave us alone?" He glanced back at his bodyguards holding off the crowd of reporters and photographers.
"They do have a life love, it just involves us too," Anzu smiled. She knew Kaiba hated all the reporters and camera's invading their private life by showing up at the movies, at restaurants, and pretty much anywhere Anzu and Kaiba go together. "Don't let it worry you," she said stroking his face.
Anzu stepped into the classroom alone, because Kaiba had to stop by his locker first. Immediately everyone looked up and smiled at her presents; she was popular ever since she became a sort of celebrity by being with Kaiba. "Hello everyone," she smiled sweetly and then took her seat by Yugi and her friends.
"Hey Anzu," Yugi said with a big smile. "How was your weekend?"
"Good," she said simply. Anzu thought back to her weekend just then. She went to the movies with Kaiba on Friday, followed by swimming with Kaiba on Saturday, and finishing off the weekend by making dinner with Kaiba on Sunday. Anzu was in love and she showed it every time she smiled.
"Where's 'lover boy' at? Huh Anzu?" Jonouchi asked sarcastically. "Did you not give him what he wanted over the weekend?"
"Shut up Jonouchi," Anzu said letting the anger out. She knew he was kidding, but he was always bugging her.
"You're too damn sensitive." Jonouchi sat down in the seat next to Yugi and started talking about Duel Monsters.
Just then Duke walked in with Kaiba. "…So if your company promotes my Dungeon Dice game then my game can get popular again. So what do ya' say?"
Kaiba glanced at Anzu as if asking for her opinion. She smiled and nodded. "Alright Devlin." He held out his hand, "you got a deal."
"Thanks Kaiba," he shook his hand in agreement.
Kaiba sat down in the desk behind Anzu, that way he could whisper to her without the teacher scolding them. "Anzu?"
She leaned back slightly but didn't take her eyes off the teacher who just started the lesson. "Yes?"
"We should sneak out the back today so the camera's won't follow us. I want to be with you alone," he whispered.
Anzu laughed silently, "They'll find us eventually, they always do."
"Can we just try?" Kaiba asked softly.
She giggled at his optimism, "Yes of course."
"Ms. Mazaki! Mr. Kaiba! Do you wish to share your little conversation with the class?" The teacher asked slamming the yard ruler on his desk.
"No…sir…" Anzu said looking down at the open Algebra 2 book on her desk. "Sorry," she said softly, feeling embarrassed.
"Yeah, I don't think you wanna hear how they plan to have sex after school today teach," Jonouchi yelled out; with the rest of the class breaking out with laughter.
"Shut it dog boy, before I make you my bitch again!" Kaiba yelled to Jonouchi.
"Oh wanna try it rich boy!" Jonouchi stood up clenching his fists.
"Sit down Mr. Jonouchi!" The teacher commanded. "Stop it both of you! You're interrupting class."
"Doesn't bother me," Jonouchi replied as he slumped back into his desk.
"May I continue, if you are finished?" The teacher asked. "1st brunch detention for both of you," he added, and then continued with the lesson.
"Thanks a lot dog boy." Kaiba growled.
"Get over it!" Jonouchi glared at him.
Anzu hated when Jonouchi and Kaiba fought, especially when they had nothing to fight about.
When the bell rang, everyone immediately got out of their seats and ran out the door. It was break time, and this class had 1st brunch for 15 minutes. Anzu slowly put her books away so that she could wait for Kaiba.
"Now then boys," the teacher started to say, "I want you to mop this classroom up by the time I get back here. You have 15 minutes," he said sternly. He then looked at Anzu. "And you Ms. Mazaki, you have to leave now while your boyfriend does his work."
Anzu nodded, "Ok, I will," she said sweetly with a smile.
The teacher looked at the cell phone around waist, "I got to take this call." He flip opened his phone, "Hello?…Get to work you two!" He yelled as he left the classroom.
"Get the water dog boy," Kaiba said as he stood up and put his arms around Anzu.
"Shove it Kaiba! You need to learn how to mop floors anyway," Jonouchi grumbled. "I'm outta here."
"Jonouchi you can't leave and let Kaiba do this by himself," Anzu protested. "How dare you!"
"Let him go, I wouldn't want him to whack-off starring at us." Kaiba smirked. He picked up Anzu slightly and set her on the desk.
Anzu giggled, and leaned back on the desk. "Seto…I'll help you clean up."
"No, you don't have to. Dog boy will end up doing it by himself." Kaiba stared lovingly into her eyes and then stroked her hair softly. "What do you want to do after school?"
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as we're together," Anzu said simply. She crossed her legs slowly, suggesting what they should do together.
Kaiba touched her thigh softly just as Jonouchi walked back in the classroom followed by the teacher.
"Mr. Kaiba, Ms. Mazaki, that is highly inappropriate!" The teacher yelled. "Ms. Mazaki please leave right now!"
Anzu reluctantly hopped off the desk, but Kaiba grabbed her arm, "Wait for me for lunch," he whispered. Anzu nodded and flaunted out the classroom.
During lunch Anzu got together with her dance group that called themselves the Fabulous 5. They only called themselves that because their initials didn't spell out anything catchy and all of the good dance group names where taken.
Anzu and her friends: Sakura, Rei, Kayko, Sango stood in a huddle in the back of the cafeteria. Behind them was the large window that overlooked the courtyard, the warm sun caressing their toned dancer bodies. The Fabulous 5 wore the colors pink and white. Kayko and Sango wore white hip-hugger capri pants with pink drawstrings. Sakura and Rei wore white shorts and pink drawstrings; and Anzu wore a pleaded white skirt with tight pink shorts
"Alright Fabulous 5. This is it. Another performance to go," Anzu said with full confidence in her group's abilities. "Let's perform like we do it in the street: HOT!"
"Did the principal show up yet? Coz' he said he wanted watch us to make sure we were 'school appropriate'," Sakura asked glancing up from their little circle.
"Forget him! We just gotta perform for all those boys out there!" Rei smiled, licking her lips.
"Your boyfriend here yet Anzu? I know you want him here." Sango asked adjusting her hip-hugger pants.
"We gotta do this," Anzu answered. "With or without him." She took one more glance at the cafeteria door before she put her hand in the middle of their circle. "Hands in everyone."
"FABULOUS 5!" They whooped together, and then stood in their formation.
Kayko and Sango stood on the ends with Sakura and Rei on the right sides of them, and Anzu stood in the middle. They stood perfectly still, head down, hands at the sides, feet apart, and stared at the floor.
Anzu nodded for the person to start the music. When the music started they waited for the eight count then Kayko and Sango started the movement; after the fourth count, Sakura and Rei started doing the same moves as the others. Anzu jumped in last, and with that the performance started.
The Fabulous 5 danced with a mix of hip-hop, jazz, and pop. They all flaunted their best moves, each all giving it their all. At one point they each grabbed the folding chairs leaning on the wall behind them and sat down for four counts. They rolled to the left side of the chair and then grabbed the seat, folded it up then slid them across the floor; Anzu did a back flip to finish the dance off, and then the Fabulous 5 posed; tired and out off breath because they danced their hearts out.
The cafeteria filled with applause immediately. Anzu noticed Kaiba standing in the corner of the cafeteria clapping for her. She smiled at him; she knew he had seen her performance. "We did girls!" Anzu yelled over the applause.
"Fabulous 5! Woooo!" Kayko whooped, throwing her hands up. Dancing was the only time she showed her wild side.
"Hey looks like your boyfriend showed up." Rei smiled starring at Kaiba.
"Yeah…" Anzu smiled, already walking towards him. "I'll catch up with you guys at the studio after school." She walked down the cafeteria like she was on the runway of a fashion show. She knew guys gawked at her slender dancer body, but she had all she wanted; a wonderful boyfriend she was in love with, best friends, and her own dance group. Life was perfect.
"Anzu…" Kaiba said softly, "You did wonderful," he added with a hug.
"How did you get out?" Anzu teased, knowing he had to stay in class for lunch detention.
"I didn't go, I wasn't going to miss your performance," he smirked.
Anzu sighed, "Seto…you shouldn't ditch your detention."
"I wanted to be here for you. I know how much this performance meant to you," he said in a soft voice.
Anzu overwhelmed with a mix of joy and love for Kaiba, forgot she was in the cafeteria in front of her whole school and kissed him passionately. When the sounds of laughter and sneers filled the cafeteria Anzu jumped back. She looked around nervously; she could feel her cheeks turning red. She ran as quick as she could out the cafeteria and into the locker hallway.
"Anzu!" Kaiba called after her, "Where are you going?"
"That was so embarrassing." She confessed. She struggled to open her locker and failed.
"Why? everyone knows we're together and seen us kiss before," he said in between his laughter.
"Not like that!" Anzu leaned against her locker and breathed slightly heavily; she felt so embarrassed.
"Anzu?" Kaiba turned her face to him.
"What?" Anzu asked softly, her cheeks still a little rosy with embarrassment.
"I love you." He replied softly and pressed his lips to hers. "Come to my mansion tonight? I'll have one of my drivers pick you up."
Anzu nodded, "Yeah…I'll come…" She wrapped her arms up and around his neck and continued to kiss him until the bell rang for class; even then they waited for the last bell. "I love you," she said softly, knowing she wouldn't see him again until that night.
Anzu sat on the floor of her dance studio stretching her legs in front of the mirror. She was on the second floor because the first floor had a lobby and a place to perform in front of an audience. Kaiba bought her the studio on their one-year anniversary. She was so happy that she cried like a little schoolgirl. Anzu smiled at the memory, she loved Kaiba so much.
"Hey Anzu your pearly whites are blinding us, stop thinking about Kaiba," Sango teased, hugging her from behind.
"Haha…Funny guys…" Anzu laughed. She stood up and stretched her arms up towards the ceiling. "You girls ready?"
"In a sec, we need to stretch first," Rei answered. "Wanna know what everyone is saying about you and Kaiba?"
Anzu shrugged, "Do I?"
"It's nothing negative," Sakura added quickly. "It's actually kinda cute."
"Tell me then." Anzu said interested.
"Everyone is saying that you're the cutest couple, and they want to vote you cutest couple for the year book." Kayko cut in.
"You said I could tell her," Sakura pouted.
"Cutest couple huh?" Anzu blushed. "I wouldn't mind that."
"After that display of affection in the cafeteria today, we knew you wouldn't." Rei teased.
Anzu rolled her eyes, "Ready yet? Fabulous 5?"
"Yeah sure, I think we are." Rei glanced around quickly and everyone nodded in agreement. "...But first tell them what you told me."
"What are you talking about Rei," Anzu asked. Rei was her closest friend out of the Fabulous 5. They both founded the group and did most of the choreography. So Anzu told Rei everything that she would eventually share with the rest of the Fabulous 5.
"How good Kaiba is in bed," Rei laughed. "Remember you kept telling me that over the phone a few nights ago?"
Anzu jumped back and covered her mouth, "I never told you that!" Anzu blushed, "I didn't even talk to her this weekend, don't believe girls."
"Right Anzu," Rei laughed. "You kept talking about how big his-"
"Rei! Omigod!" Anzu shouted throwing her arms up.
The rest of the Fabulous 5 couldn't say anything because they were all laughing too hard. They knew Rei was kidding but they loved giving Anzu a hard time.
"Um…hello everyone," Shizuka said softly standing by the door; she held 2 textbooks in her arms, a red spiral notebook and a magazine.
"Hello Shizuka," Anzu said with a smile, and walked over to her. "Don't mind them, they're just…" she rolled her eyes, "you know…"
Shizuka nodded then accidentally dropped her notebook on the floor; she reached down to pick it up but Anzu picked it up before her. Anzu noticed she had scratches on her arm and figured that was why she wore a long sleeve sweatshirt despite the heat outside. Anzu glanced down at one of the pages and noticed that Duke Devlin was written all over one of the pages. Anzu handed the notebook back to her but didn't say anything to her; she knew how embarrassed Shizuka would be.
"Hi Shizuka!" the Fabulous 5 said together. "Did you come to dance with us?"
She looked down at the floor and blushed, "No…just watch." She looked back up and smiled, "How did you guys do at the lunch performance?"
"Great!" Sakura answered for them. "Everyone loved the routine."
"I wish I could've been there." Shizuka sat down on the mini bleachers in the corner of the room and opened her notebook. "I came by because I saw you on the newsstand Anzu."
"Really?" Anzu asked walking over to her. Shizuka showed Anzu the magazine cover with her and Kaiba on it walking out of the movies they went to on Friday. "We both knew the camera's was going to happen," she smiled.
Anzu knew Shizuka wanted to dance with them, but she was shy. Shizuka didn't have a lot of confidence dancing in front of crowds of people. Anzu asked her about taking private lessons so that she could learn but Shizuka just smiled and blushed; meaning she wanted to dance with someone special; probably Duke.
"Let's start Fabulous 5," Sango said turning on the music. "We need something new for the next time we perform," she added.
"Yeah she's right," Kayko agreed. "What do'ya got for us Anzu?"
Anzu then started to make up a new routine, with Rei's help. They had to come up with something more intense then their last performance; so with that they started to work on their new routine. Anzu wanted to possibly battle each other, hip-hop style; it wasn't final and she had time to decide before their next performance.
After about 2½ hours of practice, Sango then turned off the music. The Fabulous 5 gathered their dance bags, then waved their good-bye's and left. Anzu stayed behind because she had to wait and make sure the janitor would come and clean the floor.
"Shizuka!" A tall girl called by the door. "Come over here!" she commanded harshly. The girl wore a black leather skirt with knee high boots, red and black striped spaghetti strapped top, and dark Goth makeup.
"Oh huh? Coming," Shizuka said quickly hopping off the bleachers and dropping her notebook. Shizuka walked out the door and into the hallway with the girl.
Anzu looked at Shizuka oddly, and she wondered why Shizuka would even talk to someone who ordered her around like that. Anzu peered around the corner and listened to their conversation.
"Did you do it?" the Goth girl asked.
"Yes…" Shizuka replied softly, "I did Konoko"
"I told you not to call me that! My name is Raven," She yelled quickly. "Let me see your arms Shizuka." Raven commanded.
She reluctantly lifted her sweatshirt sleeves and revealed the cuts on her arms. "I did Kono- I mean Raven."
"Fine, I didn't think you had it in you Shizuka," Raven smirked. "If you want to become one of us then come to the park tonight," she added as she left down the hall.
Anzu picked up her dance bag and acted like she wasn't ease dropping on Shizuka's conversation. When she walked back in; Anzu wanted to know who that girl was. "Shizuka? Who was that?"
"Oh…just a friend from school," she replied softly.
"A friend that yells at you?" Anzu asked disbelieving.
"She's just a little tough…she protects me from the bullies at school that's all…" Shizuka answered gathering up all her books. "Bye Anzu," she waved as she left out the door.
Anzu was worried about Shizuka and she knew she had to do something; she wanted to tell Jonouchi but she didn't want him to worry. Anzu was going to follow Shizuka tonight, even if that meant breaking her date with Kaiba.
Anzu stood on the steps of the Kaiba mansion that night, waiting patiently for someone to open the door. One of the maids opened the door for her.
"Good evening Anzu," she said inviting her in. "Mr. Kaiba is in his second floor office."
"Thank you." Anzu walked up the stairs slowly; she was trying to think of a reason to cancel her date with Kaiba. She didn't want to lie to him, but she was more worried about Shizuka going to the park with that Goth girl.
When Anzu reached the office door, she opened it quietly so that he couldn't hear her. She tiptoed into the room.
"Hello Anzu," Kaiba said without turning around.
"How did you know it was me?" Anzu asked folding her arms.
"I smelled your perfume." He turned around and starred at her up and down. "You look so beautiful Anzu."
"Thank you." She took a step closer, "Are you busy Seto?"
He stood up and walked close to her. "Never too busy for you Anzu." He smiled then picked her up with his arms under her legs and back. "How are you feeling tonight?" He asked walking to his room.
"Fine Seto," she replied.
Kaiba set her down on his king size bed softly. "I love you Anzu…"
"Seto…" Anzu paused, "I can't stay tonight…"
Kaiba looked at her oddly, "What? Why not?"
"It's because my parents wants me home." Anzu lied. "So I only came over to say that I can't stay" Anzu got up from his bed and headed towards the door.
Kaiba grabbed her wrist before she could leave. "I want you to stay with me Anzu."
"I can't Seto. I'll see you tomorrow." Anzu said still facing away from him, unable to look him in the eye.
"I want to make love to you Anzu. I love you." Kaiba said pulling her to his lap.
'So do I Seto…So do I…' she thought to herself. "I love you too Seto. I'll come back tomorrow night."
Anzu stood up and walked out the door. She heard Kaiba cursing to himself; Anzu smiled slightly, she loved the power she had over him. Not that she was using Kaiba, it was just that she knew how much Kaiba loved her, and how much wanted to be with her.
Anzu left the mansion and she waited on the steps for one of Kaiba's drivers to come and pick her up. She was going to park to check on Shizuka, she just hopped she would arrive in time.
