Anzu kept walking down the streets of Domino City, lost in her anger and thoughts. A new Duel Monsters tournament was coming up to celebrate the release of this new crads, she could feel it. Yugi and Jounochi would sign up for it, she had no doubt about that. A new enemy would come and bring about the end of the world for the millionth time and Yugi would have to stop it. It was the same old story over and over!
Duels, duels, DUELS! I'm so sick of it all! Ever since Yugi bonded with that Pharaoh of the Millennium Puzzle, he's become unbeatable at games and now everyone wants a piece of him. What about me?! Don't I get MY share?
...Then again, I only used Yugi at first because I had a crush on the Pharaoh. Maybe that's why he'd rather go out with Rebecca.
"Hi, Anzu!"
Anzu stopped and turned to see Mokuba waving at her from the entrance to a toy shop. "Oh, Mokuba."
"What's wrong," Mokuba asked, "you look down."
***
Anzu finished telling Mokuba her story over milkshakes in a cafe, sighing heavily. It felt good to talk to someone about her problems, but she never expected it to be Mokuba.
"Is that all," Mokuba laugehd before taking a sip of his shake. "And here I thought it was serious."
"It IS, Mokuba!"
"It's not, really. All you have to do is go out with someone else, and make Yugi jealous. And, I have the perfect guy in mind for you to hook up with."
Anzu's eyes widened. "You don't mean-."
"Yup. My big brother, Seto."
Anzu groaned loudly. "Does it HAVE to be somebody else into Duel monsters?!"
"Mellow out, Anzu. Seto's been busy running Kaiba Corp. too much to worry about dueling. Why not give him a chance?"
"He doesn't strike me as the dating type. besides, why would he agree to it?"
Hee hee, if she only knew... "You just leave it to me. I'll need your phone number before I go, okay?"
Anzu though about it for a moment. It was a dumb idea. And yet, she wondered if she had any other choice. Finally, she pulle dout a pen and some paper. "Just one date," she said firmly. "If it doesn;t go well, never again."
"Mokuba flashed a smile. "You won't regret this!"
***
"And where have you been, Mokuba?"
Mokuba just smiled at Kaiba as he walked into the CEO's office. "You'd be surprised, big brother."
Kaiba was at his desk, typing at his laptop. "Out celebrating that the Transformers will be made into cards? You coudl have called me to fill me in, you know."
Mokuba simply slid a piece of paper onto the desk by the laptop. "Actually, I was setting you up for a date."
Kaiba stopped typing and looked rigth at Mokuba. "You promised me no more blind dates."
"Who said it was a blind date? It's with your secret crush."
Kaiba let out a gasp before he grabbed the piece of paper from the desk and examined it. It had Anzu's name and number on it. "How... how did you..."
"It was easy, especially since she's looking to make Yugi jealous. Seems she's got a rival for his affections. I figure that IF you make a good impression, you might convince her to give up on him."
"Sounds like you've been watching too much romance anime."
"Sound like YOU should pull out that 'Dating for Dummies' book I got you and start speed reaidng. Remember, you have to make one hell of an impression for Anzu. ...Oh yes, before I forget, you cannot, absolutely must never, EVER mention Duel Monsters at all during the date. She hates it so much right now, she'd drop you like a rock if you so much say it's initials."
"...Why don't we just announce that I'm gay to the tabloids and be through with it?"
"It's your one chance to have a date with Anzu, Seto. Take it or leave it."
***
"Anzu, phone!"
Anzu calmly reached over to her desk and picke dup her phone. "Hello?"
