Traces
-Anzu-
My body feels so light. I almost feel like I can fly. It's been
like this since this morning. I can't explain, but it feels…
so…
I closed my eyes. I can't explain it.
I woke up in Canti's arms early this morning. He kissed me on the
bridge of my nose.
“Good morning,” he whispered. I couldn't help but smile.
“Good morning,” I said back. He kissed me on the lips. I giggled at
him. Sure we had school in the morning, but I didn't want to get
up. It felt like being a newlywed.
“What happens now?” I asked. Canti gave me a dreamy look.
“You should start to see the effects really soon,” he said. He
kissed me on the lips again.
As soon as I got home, I felt it. At first, I felt a warmth in my
chest. Not like it was on fire. It felt like a warming sensation.
Like this warmth could last me through all of winter. I put my
hands to my chest. I didn't want to let that feeling go. Part of me
wished that I could hold onto it forever. I walked over to my bed
and took a seat. I closed my eyes and took it all in. Slowly, it
started to spread. I felt the warmth in my shoulders, stomach,
between my legs, arms, and legs. This was it. It had to be. I could
see the light in the darkness. There weren't any colors yet. I
tried to reach for it, but the light was just out of my grasp. I
started to picture essence. What was it going to be like? Would I
really live forever? What kind of powers was I going to have?
I opened my eyes when I heard a knock on the door.
“Yeah?” I asked.
“You're going to be late,” mom said.
“Okay!” I said. Oh that's right, I have school today. I froze. Oh
shit. I have to go to school. I looked down at my hands. Small
sprinkles danced on the skin. Were they glowing pink? I closed my
eyes and opened them. The sparkling and pink disappeared, leaving
my hands looking normal. I blinked and shook my head. Whoa. I am
going to have to be more careful. People could be asking me
questions. I wouldn't even know how to explain it. I took a breath
and forced myself to calm down. Right. I can do this. Just stay
away from people and don't do anything weird.
I slowly stood up and got dressed for school.

Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda talked to each other on the walk to
school. I hung back and said nothing. I did my best to keep my
hands hidden. That warm feeling in my body was still there. How
long before it reached my face? How long before my friends started
asking questions? Sure that would believe the other half of Yugi
existing, but I'm not brave enough to chance that with my secrets.
I know that I can't keep it from them forever. How would I even
tell them? Hey guys, I'm practically a god now. Yeah, my secret
boyfriend turned me into one before we slept together. Oh yeah,
I've had a secret boyfriend who is almost a god for close to a year
now. We've been sleeping together almost every night. But it's all
okay, right? I mean, we can still be friends, right?
I frowned to myself as I said all of that again in my head. Yeah,
that's not going to work out too well.
“Anzu, are you alright?” I heard in front of me.
“Huh?” I asked, looking up. Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda had stopped
walking and were now staring at me.
“You've been pretty quiet back there,” Yugi said. “Is something on
your mind?” I quickly shook my head.
“Oh, no,” I said. “I'm just lost in my thoughts.” I just let it
hang there, hoping that they wouldn't press the issue. Luckily,
they just let it drown and we walked to school without anymore
questions. I dropped my shoulders. I can't keep this up. I am going
to have to tell Yugi the truth. My heart started to ache just
thinking about it. But he has to know the truth. I have hurt him
too much and he doesn't even know it. I lifted my chin.
“Yugi,” I spoke up. My friends stopped in their tracks.
“What?” Yugi asked over his shoulder.
“I have to tell you something,” I said. “In private.”
