Ten years Ago

The sound of water hitting rocks sent a chill down the young toddlers back. Closing her eyes and taking in deeps breath, ready to jump.

"Come on," said the little girl to herself "just do it."

Still she did not move an inch. She looked down to see what she was doing was dangerous (well to her it was). The young toddler was scared of heights and was trying to conquer her fear. Once again telling herself to jump, but there was no progresses.

"Are you gone just stand there," said a soft voice "Or are you gone jump."

The young girl was frighten and surprised that someone was watching her. This spot had always been her special place where she comes to relax after a hard day of training. How could anyone know about her spot? She turned around to see a young boy no older then her.

"This one is going to jump" she said quietly to herself

"What," the young toddler screamed "say it louder"

"This one is going to jump," she said this time louder and clearer.

"So do it," he said "Or are you scared" he said mockingly. The young girl had enough of the taunt that she began crying.

Tears streamed down her tinny pudgy face

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you" the toddler said with his eyes begins to swell up with tears himself.

"No, no, no hic" She said rubbing her eyes dry. "It wasn't your fault this one start crying, you spoke the truth, that you did, this one is scared of heights." she said with a soft low voice.

"Come on he said lets go over here" he said grabbing a hold of her hand.

"What's your name" the toddler asked her.

"Anzu," she said looking down as if her name was a curse "and yours?"

"My name is Bakura" he said proudly

The two toddlers spoke to each other. Talking about old memories they could remember. They talked for hours. They talk so long they didn't see that rain clouds were forming, or that the sun was about to set.

"So what are you doing out here Anzu, don't you're parents care your out here by your self." the toddler said rubbing his head.

Then realizing, that what he just said sounded cruel then curious scolding him for saying such a dumb thing, instead he hared her giggle.

"No," she said playing with her short chestnut hair "They don't know that this one has left the village" she said letting out a faint giggle, "what about you Bakura don't your parents care."

The snow haired toddler looked down with a sad look on his face

"I don't have a mommy or a daddy, they went bye-bye a long time ago," he said holding back the tears of his painful past "I live with my father brother away from the village."

"Oh this one is sorry for making you feel bad." she said reaching over to cup his hand with her own.

Lifting his head to meet Anzu gaze, in that moment in time he realized that Anzu had the most perfect blue eyes. What a beautiful girl, yet fear controlled her life. Her eyes reminded him of the ocean no one could control the ocean it ran free. Her eyes were a perfect blue, which was rear to see like his red.

Silence fell upon them they had nothing else to say to each other. Bakura tried thinking of question to asked, scared that maybe she might get up and leave, he said the first thing that popped in his head.

"Hey, Anzu" the toddler asked, trying to break the silence between them.

"Yes" she said turn around to face him

"I have this crazy idea but…," he said once again looking down to the ground "That you might not like"

"Let this one be the judge of that." she said smiling"

"Like you said you are afraid of heights right, the toddler said this time having the strength to look directly into Anzu eyes "so I was thinking maybe we could both jump off together.".

Anzu heart stopped the thought of her jumping off the water fall was madness. She began trembling at the thought her skin turned even paler then she already was. Bakura could sense her tense up, she looked ready to vomit, but still if she wanted to be the best Shinobi (a/n 1) she would have to face her fear.

"This one will do it" She said smiling trying to put up a brave front.

Taking a hold of Anzu hand and walking toward the end of the waterfall. Anzu heart began racing, She became light headed she could now hear her heart beating louder and louder like if it was going to burst out of her chest. She closed her eyes too scared to face her fear.

"Don't be scared, I'm right here"

That was all she could make out before she felt herself let go and jump. Still holding Bakuras hand, it felt like forever before Anzu and Bakura final hit the water. With the impact of the water Bakura couldn't hold on to Anzu and let go. Paddling up from the water to get air, he realized that Anzu was no where in sight.
