A Note on the use of honorific: Yugi's feeling a little distanced from Anzu right now, and he thinks she's still mad at him, so he's going with an honorific to be safe. (also I don't think they're flying right through the middle of it, but they do have two magicians and one of the most powerful dragons on their side.)
Yugi’s phone rings, and he looks briefly startled before relaxing. “That’s our ride.”
Anzu stares at him. “In the middle of a typhoon?”
He sighs. “Anzu-chan, do you really want to stay trapped in a building with those thugs lurking around? I doubt they were the only team sent. Or that they don’t have even more Monsters to summon.”
“No, but…”
He smiles and lays a hand on her arm, blushing slightly. “I promise I won’t let anything happen to you.”
The magicians nod, and…well, if anything’s capable of protecting her from a storm, it’s magic, so she follows as he calls and gets directions.
By the time they walk out of the doors, the rain’s falling in sheets, and she can barely see.
Until it lets up slightly, and there’s Kaiba, Yugi’s super serious scowling rival, sitting on top of a freaking dragon. Its white scales shimmer in the rain.
“Y-Yugi, that’s a dragon.”
He’s cheerful as he answers. “Yes, she is.”
“As much as I’m sure she deserves the attention, this is dangerous enough as it is and I don’t appreciate using her as a glorified taxi service, so let’s get this over with already,” Kaiba growls.
Yugi clambers on like he’s done this before and holds out a hand to pull her up, too. “Come, now, this is a noble rescue.”
“Well, I wouldn’t have had to rescue you if you hadn’t locked the God Cards away.”
Yugi’s mirth disappears. “I can’t run the risk of them falling into evil hands again. I don’t have near the security you do. And no, I’m not giving them to you for safekeeping.” It’s an old argument, judging by the tone. “Knowing our luck, one of your next KaibaCorp breaches would involve stealing them.”
The dragon spreads its wings and launches with a cry—straight into the oncoming rain.
“If those fools trying to ruin my company weren’t stuck in cyberspace, I’d do a lot worse to them. They’ve done enough damage as it is.”
Being on a dragon in the middle of a typhoon would scare her more, but she figures she’s still a little in shock, and it’s surprisingly warm and protected from wind and rain. Kaiba’s growling to himself somehow more than normal, and she guesses that…somehow, he’s done this before. And Domino hadn’t noticed a dragon in the sky. And it was usually easier.
But Yugi takes her hand, warm and steady and with that same sexy confidence, and it’s the anchor keeping her in place as they fly to safety.
