Turning the Tables

Chapter 2 - Anzu’s Denial

It was nearing noon and the two female bodies laid
curled up on the couch watching daytime television.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Still in their nightgowns from the night
before, the two women fed each other fruit, while enjoying each others warmth.

Slowly sitting up, Anzu turned her head around to look at the clock
that hung behind the couch the two were currently residing, she gasped and
quickly stood up from the couch.

“Damn! We are going to be late!
We are suppose to meet Yuugi and the others at
the game shop, in ten minutes!” Anzu cried out as she turned off the TV and
turned to her lover.

Turning to look up at her short-haired girlfriend, Shizuka frowned as
she slowly stood up and moved to her significant other.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Wrapping her arms gently around Anzu’s waist,
she laid her head down against her chest.

“Can’t we stay home? And just
enjoy some time alone?” Shizuka whispered softly, her fingers trailing along
the base of her lover’s spine.

Sighing and shaking her head no, Anzu gently pulled her lover away, her
blue eyes looking down into the soft browns of Shizuka.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Anzu knew that her lover hated to be around
everyone else, when they hadn’t revealed their relationship to anyone yet.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Moving away from her younger lover, she
turned toward Shizuka’s room where she had put her things.

Staying on the couch awhile longer, Shizuka frowned, she really didn’t
want to go face everyone and pretend like nothing was happening, when things
infact were happening. The two had been
together for nearly a year, their first anniversary was in the next month, and
they still hadn’t told anyone about it.
The only person Shizuka had told was her older brother, since he had
finally told her about his relationship with Kaiba.

Taking a deep breath she slowly stood and made her way into the bedroom
where Anzu was changing, her eyes moving over her form before a light blush
crept upon her cheeks. She had always
admired her lovers form, even when Honda and Otogi
fought over her, so long ago. She had
secretly wanted to be with her and when the opportunity arouse she jumped for
it. Ever since then the two females had
been together, they were nearly inseparable.
Shizuka had even moved away from home to live with her older brother
Jou, just to be closer to the one she loved so much.

When Anzu had finally noticed her lover, she smiled and finished
dressing before moving over to the younger girl.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Wrapping her arms warmly around Shizuka, Anzu
placed a gentle kiss against the younger brunette’s temple before pulling away
and getting the rest of her things together.

Shizuka took a deep breath before turning around to look at Anzu.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She was going to bring the subject up again,
even though she knew she shouldn’t, she just couldn’t hold it back.

“Anzu…why can’t we just tell everyone?” chewing on her lower lip
Shizuka looked down to the ground, strands of her hair falling across her face.

Shaking her head, Anzu continued to get ready while ignoring the
question and asking one of her own, “Are you going to the party in your
pajamas, or are you going to get ready?”

With tears forming in her brown eyes she shook her head and whispered
softly, “I’m not going…”

Anzu turned around to face her girlfriend but it was too late, Shizuka
had run from the room and locked herself in the bathroom.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Sighing, she picked up her purse and left the
room and then the apartment, closing the door loudly behind her.

Waiting awhile after the door closed, she wiped her eyes before
hurrying and getting ready herself, she didn’t want to go to the party, not
when Anzu was acting the way she was.

Grabbing her purse and keys from her bedroom, she left the apartment,
locking it up before hurrying down the hall.
She knew today was her brother’s day with Kaiba, but she didn’t care,
she needed to talk to her brother, he would know what to do.
