3. Anzu and the Angels

At the same afternoon, Anzu had a very bad feeling on her way home from her dancing lesson. Something wasn’t quite right, and she feared that something bad is about to happen soon.

Something bad with people running in terror and dieing a violent and bloody death.
She shuddered again and quickened her pace.
Hopefully she could make it home before something could really go wrong.
The whole time there was a tickling in the back of her mind, but she couldn’t see anything suspicious as she turned and glanced around.
It didn’t look like someone was obviously following her.
There where just normal people behind her, who where shopping or going home after work or school.
But there was no one who looked like an insane psycho or a nasty criminal…

Even so, she searched furiously for her keys as she stood before her door. All she wanted to do was getting inside and locking the door behind her tightly.
The feeling of someone following her was getting stronger by each passing second, and it made her very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, just as she unlocked her door, a hand fell down on her shoulder.
She turned around with a piercing shriek…

…just to see a friendly smiling Yugi standing behind her.
"Hey, Anzu, are you all right? Is something wrong? I was searching for you!"
She shook her head and tried to calm her racing hearth down while she let them both inside the house.
She couldn’t believe that from all people the harmless little Hikari could scare her that much.
"Its all right, Yugi. You just startled me a little there, don’t worry."

"I'm really sorry, that was not my intention!" Yugi told her as they sat down in the kitchen to drink a cup of hot chocolate together.
"So, Yugi, what brings you here? And why where you searching for me?"
"Well, you know, I have a tiny little question, and I hope you can answer it for me."

The brunet girl just nodded to suggest that she was listening, and he should just go on and ask.
"Where do the Babies come from?"
"What????"
Yugi rolled his eyes irritated as a startled Anzu threw her chocolate cup through the kitchen.
While Anzu starred at the boy with wide eyes, her cup cracked on the wall and the dark liquid run down the wall, even if none of the two cared much about it.
"So what!? Why is everyone acting as if it is such a big crime to ask this? All I want is a simple answer, not a demonstration or something!"

Anzu woke up from her stupor and waved frantically around with her arms as Yugi starred in question at her with wide, watery eyes.
"Of course it is not a crime to ask, don’t worry, its just… you know… a surprise for me, so all of a sudden and all…" The girl stuttered quickly, while she desperately wished for a hole in the ground to get away quickly and quite.

"So?"
"So what?"
"So do I get my answer, or do you keep on starring at you wall and trying to fly away?"
"Yugi… Why do you ask me of all people?" She tried to gain some time so she could think about a good story to tell the boy.
"I thought maybe you know that. And also, Joey told me to ask you!"
'I'm going to kill that damn, idiotic dog!' Anzu thought angrily. Friends shouldn’t do that to each other, that is just plain unfair and wrong!
Suddenly another thought struck her:Why was Yugi asking Joey in the first place?

She couldn’t help but giggle in her mind. Could it be possible that Yugi has a girlfriend? Or that he want one, and that’s why he was asking so suddenly?
But one glance toward Yugi and those thoughts burst like a bubble.

Yugi watched her curious and dangled back and forth with his feet.
Somehow he looked like a child since he couldn’t really reach down to the ground with his feet. He had a beard of chocolate around his mouth and slowly liked it away, while he dipped a cinnamon-star in his drink.
(That’s a kind of cookie, but I don’t know what it's name is in English. I love them when they are soaked in milk.)
Anzu shook her head. There must be another reason for him to ask that unexpected question. Maybe he was just curious, or something along that line…

By now, Yugi was somehow used to the fact that everyone seems to freeze over at first, and that he has to wait some time to get any kind of response to his question.
He didn’t exactly understand why it is that way, but luckily he is a patient one.
And there where enough cinnamon-stars for him to last until the girl came back to her senses.

"Okay, now look, I will try to explain everything…" Anzu told him a little reluctantly, and Yugi faced her eagerly. He moved his chair a little, chocolate and cookies immediately forgotten. And Anzu couldn’t help but wonder if this whole thing isn't a bad mistake. But sadly, it is already too late to change her mind and find a good excuse.

Yes, after that she would definitively go and hunt that doggy down.

"Look, Yugi. When a mom and a dad want a little child; and they want one really, really much, then they will pray really hard every time before they go to bed.
And the good god up in heaven hears that, and when he says it is okay, he informs his angels about his decision. That he heard their wish and let them have a little baby, you know.

Because up in heaven, right in the middle, there is a very big, very special tree.
That tree has silvery leaves, which can reflect the light of the sun all over heaven, like many small mirrors.
There are always many angels fluttering around that tree and supplying it with water and look after it to make sure everything is all right.

The blossoms of that tree are pastel-colored in pink, blue, green and violet, and they surrounding the tree like colorful snow. It sounds like the tree is singing a song when the wind blows through the brunches, and the light dances over the shiny leaves.

Not fruits grow on that tree but silky shimmering eggs in the same color as the blossoms.
And when those eggs are big enough, god send his angels down to earth with them, to all the mums and dads who pray to him.
There they lay them on the doorsteps in little baskets so the parents can find them in the morning and watch them hatch!"

Anzu breathed a sigh of relief as she finished her story, but she couldn’t look at the small Hikari.
So she got herself another cup of chocolate before she looked back at back at him.
Yugi blinked at her in astonishment and asked her innocently:"So what you want to tell me is that babies hatch from an egg, which grows on a tree before an angel delivers it?"

Anzu nodded quickly: "Sure, that is what I said. Right?" she asked; just to be sure that was really what she had told him…
"Yes, but are you sure about that, Anzu?"
"But of course I'm sure! Babies hatch from an egg! Why do you ask?"
"Because that is not what Yami told me!"

The poor girl turned pale: 'I should have asked about that first! Of course he asks Yami first, that is nothing new, I should have known it! I'm just lucky that I told him a good, innocent story! Yami can't blame me for tainting Yugi with weird stuff and hunt me for that. At last, I hope he can't…'

"Well, you know, Yugi, that is just what my parents told me. Maybe there is… you know… so… what I want to say is…" she stuttered while she watched him from the corner of her eyes.
But Yugi just drank his hot chocolate without saying anything else to her story.

It was hard for her to tell if Yugi believed her, or if he was even more confused now, since Yami told him something else.
'Poor boy. And here I thought that his grandpa had told him about that stuff long ago! Seems that I was wrong about that! But I really wonder what Yami told him… And why he asked Joey after that, and me? Didn’t he believe his Dark, or is he just checking if we all say the same thing?'

She would have asked him about it, since she was very curious, but suddenly Yugi stood up and put his cup in the sink.
"Thanks for the chocolate and the cookies, Anzu! But I'm better on my way before Yami starts to worry about me. No need for him to come and search for me because he thinks that something bad had happen."
"Yeah, because then we can say Goodbye to our city if the thinks that. He doesn't let one stone standing on his place…"

Yugi waved her goodbye while Anzu was somehow glad that she hadn't asked more about it.
Maybe it was better that way, and now she could just forget about that all.
Even if she wondered if Yugi will asked their other friends as well, and how they where going to answer that.
Hopefully everything will turn out well.
Especially if Yami hears about it…

TBC:

At first I want to make one thing clear: My parents never told me such things!
I got a little brother as I was nearly three years old.
Of course they haven't told me everything step for step, but they told me that he grew in mama's belly.
Nothing with angels, or bees!
Just that he will come out if he is big enough, because I couldn’t wait for him to be born. I always wanted to put him into my doll clots and push him around in my doll buggy. (Needless to say that my mother has always prevented me from doing so. ^____^)

But I have to admit; personally I thought he is just too lazy to run on his own, and so he let himself be carried around by our mother. ^___^
Well, that can happen at the age of three.
And of course we learnt later in school about that…
