Only You

By Chibi Chopstix

Malik Ishtar was running down the pathway at Domino City Park franticly searching for "her". Her as in Anzu Mazaki. The girl who had been haunting his dreams for the past couple of weeks and driving him crazy. He had had a realization and now he absolutely had to talk to her. In his frantic rush to find this girl he ran right past her. Malik realized his mistake and ran back towards to where Anzu was. He stared at her for awhile. She was sleep. Her hair was longer now going down to her elbows, fluttering around in the wind and one of the sleeves of her dark pink shirt had slipped off of her shoulder. An orange journal was on her lap, while a blue mechanical pencil was sitting beside her on the bench. He snapped out of his reverie when he remembered that he had business to accomplish.

"Mazaki," he barked. She woke with a startled yelp and looked up to see Malik.

"Hello Malik," she said groggily.

"What is your problem woman, do you always just sleep in a park where some one could take advantage of you or..," but he stopped when she started to look at him like 'why do you care'. He sighed running his hands through his feathery blonde hair.

"Now listen and listen good Anzu, because I will only say this once." He said bending down so that he was near eye level wit her. She looked at him with a questioning look.

"Anzu, you are annoying, you talk about friendship too much, and you are happy for no apparent reason. Despite all of this I think I may… I think I may love you." Anzu looked mad until he said "I love you". Her face immediately softened.

"Malik you know you could have any girl in the entire world…right?" asked Anzu.

"Yeah," he replied with a thoughtful look on his face, "But, I want you, only you."

"I don't understand" she said with a puzzled face. Malik gave a frustrated sigh and thrust his fingers into her hair bringing his mouth to hers. He licked her lips asking for entrance and when she granted he decided to suck on her bottom lip lightly. He was pushing his tongue into her mouth when Malik felt a tug on the sleeve on his black T-shirt. He pulled back to see a little boy about the age of five with a grape Popsicle.

"Whatcha doing" the boy said with a lisp, tilting his head to the side cutely. Malik's eyebrow twitched when the boy's Popsicle started to drip onto his shoes. His hand twitched wanting to reach foe the Millennium rod to send this small child to the Shadow Realm , but he stopped when he saw the look on Anzu's face.

"Nothing…we weren't doing anything damn it" Malik replied with clenched teeth.

"Hey mister, what's a damn it?" said the boy. The boy's mother came by scolding him about talking to strangers.

"Hey mommy what's a damn it?" the boy asked his mother. The child's mother looked traumatized and looked back at Anzu and Malik giving them a scowl before running away, child in tow.

Malik turned back to Anzu, who was giggling.

"Will you take me home?" she asked him. He nodded and she smiled unknowing. He took her by the waist, threw her over his shoulder, grabbed her journal, and walked towards her house leaving her pencil, with her arms pounding on his back. Malik smirked then burst into a full smile.
