Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Puppy Love ❯ Puppy Love ( Chapter 9 )

Well, here I am with another fanfic on my hands.  Updates have been slow, but they will be progressing, as I have promised.  Well, here is the chapter of Puppy Love with the name in the title and chapter heading.

I know, I know, I’m keeping up the suspense with my little authoress notes here and there, but I do have to say that I am happy with my number of reviews as well as the participation of the fans on giving me good ideas.  I never knew I’d have a popular fic on my hands.

As always, be sure to read some of my other Yu-Gi-Oh fics, I’m sure that you’ll like them.   Some of them may not be that good though, since I had written them way back when I had little experience as a fic authoress, but please enjoy!

Puppy Love

Chapter 9:  Puppy Love

“Hope is a waking dream.”- Aristotle

Anzu looked wide-eyed at what little Yugi had told her.  A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and Yugi, on the other hand was beet red from embarrassment and longing for an answer from Anzu.

The brown haired girl held her hands up to her heart in shock.  “I…don’t know what to say, Yugi…”

She’s going to say no…I know it. Yugi thought nervously to himself.

I don’t know what to do. Anzu thought to herself.  Yugi’s always been my friend.

The young woman put a hand to her face and noticed a faint blush. 

“Yugi?”

“Yes, Anzu?”

“Can I be excused?”

“Is it because of what I just said?” The small one’s voice became a bit frantic, wondering if he had said something offensive.

“No…”

“What then?”

“I need to go to the bathroom.”

A silence echoed through the restaurant, only the wind could be heard.  Then Yugi’s face hit the floor in an anime fall.

“Oh, “ He rubbed his head nervously.  “Sorry about that.”

“You’re the one who asked.” Anzu sweat dropped.

---

Anzu went to the bathroom and shut the door behind her.  She indeed, lied to Yugi about having to actually do anything waste related in the bathroom.  She walked over to the mirror and noticed there were about two people in the stalls.

She waited for them to leave before she did anything. 

Studying herself in the mirror, she noticed the blush on her face.

“Ok Anzu..” She talked to her reflection in the mirror.  “This is not the time to dwell on the past.  It’s a time to figure out your feelings.  Yugi has always been a friend…It’s odd to think of him differently…”

Back at the table, the disgruntled and worried Yugi waited.

He knew Anzu belonged there.

She belonged TO him.

She was probably going to say no.

What was he thinking?!

He was loosing it!

It was her fault!

Did she know what she made him feel?

Sighing deeply and entranced in his thoughts, Yugi began to think of the brown haired woman.

“Anzu…”

In the bathroom, Anzu was still trying to find her true feelings for the spiky haired kid whom she’d left at the table all alone.

“Yugi.”

When would she finally go in there?

What would she say, though?

Did she love him?  She had always felt a strong friendship bond with him, could it turn into more?

Could she love Yugi?

Yugi shook his head, a small frown creasing his face.

Perhaps Natsumi loved someone else?

Right?

…

She sure was taking a long time in the bathroom.

She had to be making excuses…..Or maybe she just said she was going to the bathroom to ditch him.

No…

Anzu wouldn’t do that.

He had faith in her!  Just like she always had faith in him.

He would go and check the bathroom to see if she was really in there.

That’s what he was going to do!

…

…

…

Oh, who was he kidding?!

He wasn‘t going to go to the girl’s bathroom and get beaten with purses or possibly worse.

No…

He had to know the answer and he had to know now!  He can’t just ditch her now!

He hoped she’d accept him.

“Though it’s not likely…Is it?” He thought miserably, allowing his musing to drift back to the more depressing side of life-such as existence without her nearby, sitting at the cold and lonely table sulking to himself.

Anzu…

She probably didn’t want to go with him.

He couldn’t really blame her if she didn’t.

After all, he was only a simple boy and she might be afraid of turning their friendship into something more.

But…

Even if she didn’t love him, he’d still love her…

Yet…

He also believed that Anzu wasn’t like that.

She never judged him like that before—ever.

And he couldn’t help but notice…

A smile crossed his face, hidden slightly by his palm as he rested his hand on his chin, looking at something that was very interesting- - that little invisible spot on the wall.

He couldn’t help but noticed the way she made him feel.

That strange sense of happiness.

It changed him in a way no other woman could make him change.

That could be a good sign…

…

Anzu finally walked out of the bathroom.  She wore a determined look on her face. 

Yugi would always love her.

And she was sure that he loved her.

She stepped into view, looking determined and walked up to Yugi.

“Yugi.”

She noticed that Yugi wore an exasperated expression on his face.

“Oh, Anzu you came back.”

“Yes.”  Yugi replied, looking as if he was going to expect the worse.

Anzu’s face softened and she looked at Yugi with a warm expression.  She put her hand on his shoulder and gave him a slight hug from behind.

“Anzu..”

“Yes?”

“What’ s your answer?”

“I love you too.”

Chapter 10:  Courtship

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. “Edgar Allan Poe

Well, that’s the end of that chapter!  It was kind of poetic, ne?  More like a song fic with no song or a poem fic with no rhyme scheme.  Well, that’s all for this chapter and I hope you enjoyed reading it.  Sorry about the slow updates!  There will be more!  Anyway, not much to say other then there will be a new chapter on its way soon!
