(I had a problem with the previous ending so I had to take this chapter down sorry for the inconvenience everyone)
Yoku: Yay!! I finally have the time to update!! It was tough but I finally pulled though! Anyways, going forward… Thank- you to those who have reviewed I'm really thankful for all you taking the time in reading it. It's different and it's really fresh and I just really love it!!
As for the pairing in this is story, yes it is another Seto and Anzu! I just love those two!
Also, sorry for not updating any sooner! Just by the length of this it would take some time for me to update, since I have two other stories that I'm currently writing. Instant Noodles is also a good one to read. So if you like random-ness and the likes please read and review! It's all about Seto Kaiba people!!
Opps sorry getting off the subject here… Anyways as you may guess this story is pretty much an experiment. Meaning I'm experimenting with writing different forms of anime series. So it will take me some time to get the characters actions and gesture right. I'm not a big fan of OOC if you haven't guess already with my other stories.
So, finally, as I end I just wanted to say thank you again for the six of you who have reviewed I was so happy that all of you liked it! And without further ado, I present Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: Anew Understanding
Voices of a flower…
The blood seeping off a wound…
A tight pressure began to build…
The light had suddenly appeared…
A flicker or two had sounded a light leak plopped beside her. A lone figure stood in the darkness edging its way around a corner. Anzu's eyelids flinted ever so, her hand curled as she returned in her mind beginning to awake in her sleeping slumber. A moan or two lapsed her blue eyes peeked from underneath. Groggily sitting up she slowly brought a hand to her head. A tick was set beside her, the melody had longed last played.
"W-what… happened…?" she questioned to herself aiding her legs into a more comfortable position.
Hands laid flat against the cold ground she perked her head up moving her bangs to the side a bit. A dim light flickered indicating it's lost of seeing clearly. The melody from before made her move her gaze elsewhere; she gingerly picked her pocket watch up and examined it hoping that it wasn't broken.
Taking her eyes off the silent 'ticking' and the melody that swirled about, she snapped it shut and pocketed in her pink blazer. Slowly pushing herself up she swayed to the side a bit hoping to not fall over from the lack of balance. Using a close range of the building, she moved about the dark alleyway her eyes slowly adjusting.
Fear and a sense of loneliness captured her. She balled a fist and made her way away from the building heading towards the light in front of her. Moving her eyes about she noticed some boxes were stored in corners of the building while a fence dressed the outer line of her vision. She paid no heed to anything else as she kept walking.
Obvious to her surroundings she picked her pace. The shadows behind her became lurking, the dark starting to creep her.
"Hello!" she cried aloud hoping to catch anyone from the building's attention. "Hello!!" she tried again but nothing met her only the resumed silence.
She sighed bringing her arms down when she heard a clatter bang behind her. Anzu quickly twirled and was met with pure darkness. Heart beet quickened she inched back a tremble of fear passed her lips.
From inside the dark alley open yellow eyes gawked at her. Many had stared at her, never moving until it saw her move back they began to pounce taking action.
"AIIE!!" the girl screamed and took off the creatures tailing behind her.
Anzu held her grip on the man's shoulder. Her eyes never broke in contact with the creatures she wasn't accustomed to. The three men had fenced her, their weapons drawn; the color in their eyes had narrowed.
"Can you stand?" Kaiba half turned to her slowly accepting a weapon from one of the men.
Anzu looked at him a bit unsure and nodded to herself. The male reluctantly helped her by heaving her by the nook of her arm. The blue of his cape slightly turned in action.
"Leon…" Strife a man with blonde hair addressed.
"Hm…" Leon replied looking over at him at the corner of his eye. "What is it Cloud?"
Cloud gazed over at the crowd of Heartless looking for a way through. His eyes showed his way of direction while Kaiba helped shield the girl with his form.
"We need to work on this at the right time…" he pointed with his sword. "Over there, towards the Tavern…" he nodded in command.
Tavern of D was a ways away from them. The path they stood was swarming with small Heartless their petit orbs focused on them. Kaiba gritted his teeth together the blue in his eyes held with frustration. The three men waited for the right time. Counting heads they soon raced off.
"Hya!!" they slashed in front of them the creatures slowly falling and vanished.
"Run!" Cloud yelled at the girl perking his head in her direction.
Anzu leaped never once being told what to do and dashed off with Cloud in front of her clearing both their paths. Leon took the right of her cutting through any Heartless that dared pounce over him. Kaiba on the other side his katana came in contact with each foe his blue eyes danced with dominance.
She felt a tug at her wrist, her eyes directed at the EX-SOLDIER before her.
"We have to keep moving!" he shouted to her, his black gloved hand covered her small frame.
She paid no mind to him. Her eyes then wandered again going in all direction. It went towards the Heartless, then to the men; her state of mind swimming with question.
'Just what are those things?!' she wanted to cry out by restrained herself.
Anzu let out a yelp as she tripped over; the grip of the man's loosening from her sudden fall. All three men turned heads their eyes widen watching her from afar. The girl slowly picked herself up, the men's scream reached her ears as they too was surround by the dark creatures. The light of the town was dim with light, a hollow howl swept through. Wide-eyed the creatures staggered to her raising their arms as so. With nothing to protect herself she held her arms up in defense covering half her body. The pendant around her neck gave its last will to glow, while an unknown voice boomed through up above her.
"Give me strength!!" landing clapped in front of her.
Anzu's eyes still held closed, the arms still secured before her sitting form. Multiple swipes were heard, a clang or two banged. Heartless after another quickly dispersed leaving a much smaller crowd. Stillness came to her while she peek her eyes open. A vision of brown spiky hair was met through her arms. The stranger's right shoe had angled while a key like blade was brought down. Anzu had brought her arms down in meeting.
"Are you alright?" a pair of light blue eyes met with hers as he leaned.
The girl didn't know how to respond to the question. A hand stretched out she thoughtlessly accepted while he helped her to her feet.
"Sora it's about time you got here," one of the men responded.
The young teen released her as he turned half way giving the older men a grin. "Eh heh… sorry about that… I've been busy…" he rubbed the back of his rather sheepishly.
Sora, Anzu needn't have to guess, wore a soldier like outfit. Not nearly the same as the one called Cloud nor Leon or Kaiba. A short vested hood nested his upper body complete with a shirt underneath and a crown necklace. Baggy pants dressed the rest of his attire as some pockets poked along side, each with dark blue as his main whole the others stripped with yellow and red. His weapon was held in his right hand a grip on it still tight.
The other two was cloaked in their own individual style.
Cloud Strife with blonde spiky hair wore mostly black. The two gloves dressed his hands; a knitted cloth rode above his upper torso. The black of his pants reached to the ends of his boots. A bulky blade was held with his leading grip, a half long sleeve dressed his left shoulder covering his whole arm, the sign of a lion dwelled upon his shoulder plate.
Leon the other male stood beside his other companions wore a vested uniform. A white cotton shirt lay underneath; blue jeans masked his remaining attire. A scar danced between his blue eyes, his brown bangs slit.
Mainly Kaiba was left. His blue eyes chilled her to the core. His outfit rather strange to her, the back of his cloak was fixed back. His arms held across his chest. An original Japanese uniform was underneath his cloak, all dressed in royal blue.
Anzu shoved her attention away a memory of some sort had filtered in her mind. "Um…" she began catching the attention of the young man from before.
Sora had turned his head in questioning. The Kingdom Key stilled, the crystalline pendant glowed from within. Anzu clasped her hands together wanting to get some answers straight.
"Something wrong?" he asked watching her as she inched back.
Kaiba and the others had too noticed lowering their weapons and glanced around the perimeter; the tavern not too far away from where they stood.
Anzu shook her head. "No, that's not it… It's just—"
Confusion etched the men's faces not understanding a word she had said. They had notice her stop in mid-sentence, worry had crossed their minds. The keyblade was soon caught in action. Sora too had noticed. A beam of white light flashed at the tip of the blade. With force his arm was lifted, an aura surrounded the pendant Anzu wore as it too lifted above her breast.
Surprise gasps filled the air as much as a step ran forth; a surrounding light captured the two but mainly Anzu, as her eyes became distance her head lifted back from the intense power the key had created. Numerous visions reached within her.
As soon as the beam ended, the keyblade was brought down and Anzu fell. The lids of her eyes soon closed in vision the pounding of footsteps were distance to her as her body fell upon another; her saviors ran to her before she blanked out.
"…he…hey…?"
Darkness found itself.
A flint, the hush voices stilled all around. No light became unbearable. A wakening moan or two glided, her vision coming back to her. The memories were a haze as she slowly brought a hand up rubbing her head in total déjà vu.
"You alright?" a dark form hovered before her with concern observing as she lay awake.
Anzu's blue eyes peeked in confrontation. A dark silhouette stood leaning, its form oddly familiar to her.
"L-Lona…?" Anzu grasped confirming the short hair the person conceived.
The being tilted its head to the side. "Lona, who's that?" she then replied completely at lost.
"Eh?" Anzu sat up carefully.
Her blue eyes came in contact with every worried faces in the room. Some of the men she had seen others she doesn't even know.
'Where am I…?'
The girl slowly sat up from her resting place. A dim room was lit, many tables and chairs were scattered about. A bar table was at the side, various brand drinks dressed the top self. The front door couldn't be seen in eye's view.
"Huh…" Anzu turned small warmth was provided on her shoulder.
Isis directed her with worry as she leaned in questioning. "We were worried that you wouldn't awaken… can you stand?"
Anzu hesitantly nodded; noticing then that she had been laid down in a booth with many unknown faces watching her. The girl slid out with the help of the older woman at hand.
"What strange clothes you harbor…" she heard the women comment.
The short-haired girl who first spoke aloud chimed in. "Her clothes are strange? What about yours—" she earned herself a soft bruise. "Ow," she faced another woman with dark hair, "Tifa…"
Tifa with her hair so long glared down at her. "Yuffie don't be so rude…" she added sternly.
The girl gave her a dirty look before waving it off. Anzu had stayed quiet not really paying any aid to them. She felt a small nudge to the side.
"Are you alright?" Shizuka posed the question to her with concern. "I mean you were almost caught by those Heartless…"
'Heartless?!' Anzu's eyes held with remembrance.
One of the men sensed her distress as he too stepped forward, his red cape tailed behind him. "Please girl… What is your name?" he first began with a kind voice.
Anzu clenched a hand in front of her. "Mazaki Anzu…"
Yami raised a brow as did others. "Mazaki," he practiced.
"No," she shook her hair lightly lifted. "Anzu!"
The man balanced at her sudden out-burst. "Anzu…" her name rolled off his tongue while he blinked.
The young girl with her name finally said, slouch her shoulders and sighed. Realization soon struck her, fear then replaced itself.
'Eh! That's right; the fire, that guy, this place!' Her eyes panicked. "Where the heck am I?!" she cried catching the people off guard once again.
Yami straighten himself rather slowly taking her by the shoulder. "Calm down Anzu," he voiced.
The girl shook her head. "I can't calm down! I don't even know who the heck you people are! And my parents— she soon fell the hands of the man slipped as she kneeled. 'Mom… Dad…' she flashed towards the burning fire. Anzu brought a hand through her face a disbelieving look appeared. 'It can't be…' she shook her head ignoring the worried aura around her.
The voices of the crowd pushed out as they neared, Yami's hands laid on her once again. A clatter sounded while a flip switched, a soft glowing melody began to play.
Soft and still Anzu bent her gaze towards the source. The hands of the clock ticked in rhythm. The melody toned sweet as ever. Memories of sorts filtered in. Visions of her friends formed in her mind.
"We'll always be there with you…"
Anzu's eyes slightly widen, one of her hands dropped edging to pick it up. The other occupants in the room had long gone noticed her as their own memories came to them. Some were at peace others relived their own merci.
The light…
"Never forget your light…"
Anzu…
"Anzu-chan…"
Purest blood…
"Don't forget…"
Will you help it?
"Alright…?"
A snap the watch held close, its melody disappeared. Silence grew anew, her blue eyes shed with tears as well with remorse of confusion, her countenance tilted up. Yami stiffened from upon her gaze. Wonder and worry radiated his profile.
"Take me home…" she managed clutching a fist close to her heart.
Neither one of them could even decipher what she had said. The anguish had crossed the girl's heart. Sora turned his attention towards everyone in the room, his weapon nowhere to be found.
"Should we take her to Merlin's…?" he checked.
Isis shook her head from her side of the room; her brother stared down at the girl. As she spoke her blue eyes held her answer.
"Let us take her there…" she turned to them Yami perking his head in her direction steadying the girl in his arms.
Sunset Isle – HOLIC Reservoir
A vacant lot stood before them, an old looking structure dressed the center. Wooden boards fenced the front perimeter leaving an opening for an entrance for customers to enter. Another structure loomed aside from it. The building was fairly large in size its white walls masked hiding the smaller construction.
Tsubasa Café enclosed the top hem of the two sided doors. Its beautiful board lined with fine characters a picture of a feather wove around the background. Many chairs and tables settled outside a smaller arena a white picket fence wove around the outline of the front shop. Another sign stood beside the entrance of it.
Anzu awed at both structures its architecture amazed her. She then felt a push from behind; Yuffie had jumped hanging above her. Her arms fastened upon the girl's shoulders.
"The building is really amazing isn't?" she grinned from ear to ear her raven like eyes glowed.
Anzu had leaned forward from the pressure the girl was producing amongst her back. "Yeah… they're both really beautiful…" she managed to reply whether or not they understood her.
"Are you guys going off to see Yûko?" a question broke aloud.
Anzu and the others turned towards the café shop once again. A young boy with hazel eyes weighed a silver tray in both arms. His tailored uniform dressed his attire, the bow of his tie hanged loose looking a bit undone.
"Syaoran!" a young girl ran pass the doors followed by two other men.
Short brown hair weaved around her features as she too wore a slight different uniform. Her ruffled skirt lightly lifted as she ran to the other boy. As for the men that tailed behind her, they too had a different appearance. A tall man looking to be about in his twenties had dark spiky black hair and nearly red eyes while the other had a sleek form, blonde hair mattered at the top and blue eyes match.
"Heh eh," the light blonde whistled staring amongst the group. "Customers I presume?" he stood with a hand on his hip.
Sora shook his head. "Nope sorry Fai; we're actually here to see Yûko," he replied leaning back with his arms behind his head.
"Yûko?" the other male raised a brow.
Isis nodded, "That is correct Kurogane."
"Hn…"
"What for?" the other girl from their group questioned.
"Because of her," Seto jerked a thumb towards Anzu.
Fai and Kurogane looked past their regulars towards the mysterious girl. Anzu stared back at them feeling a bit uneasy with so many eyes on her.
"What's wrong with her?" Syaoran soon spoke with Sakura by his side.
"We're not quite sure…" Yami attended. "For you see, we don't know what she's actually saying…"
"Different language?" the group chanted.
"Possibly…"
Just as they were about to start a new conversation the doors to the old manor burst open and started to greet the people waiting outside the fence.
"Kaiba-boy!!"
Seto cringed at the source, 'Shit! This is why I didn't want to be here.' He thought after being dragged here by his friend.
Anzu turned. A man in a white suit came strolling towards them. His left eye was covered in his curtain of hair. Red decorated around his cuffs a bow tie tied around his neck the strands leaning out. He stopped before Kaiba and took him by the hands.
"Kaiba-boy, why I haven't seen you in years! How come you never take the time and visit me?" the older man pouted at him.
Seto pushed his hands away in disgust. "Maybe it's because I don't want to see you Pegasus," he spat.
Pegasus looked crest-fallen. Anzu couldn't help but giggle at the scene. The man looked up over at her while Anzu covered her mouth. He strolled to her pushing Yami aside.
"Why I haven't seen you here before," he then gave her a smile. "The name's Pegasus Crawford," he bowed.
Anzu smiled at him. "Mazaki Anzu…"
Pegasus straightened himself, "What an odd accent… You're not around here now are you?" Anzu shook her head. "Well no worries," he started to push her from behind the men started to argue. "Now, now, since all of you standing outside our shop; just go right in," he pushed walking into the HOLIC Reservoir.
"Welcome…" A woman stood before them in the main room.
Her exotic appearance seems to awe Anzu as well. Long black hair stood down while head ornaments dressed her. A black outfit wove around. The woman sat in a chair a small round table in front of her as well as a cup of tea. Cases and cases of mysterious items lay about with in the small room.
What amazed her most were the fuzzy animals that were flying about in the air. Some had dozed in corners some sat on tables while others sat with the woman drinking along with her.
"And what brings you all here to our shop?" she replied while Pegasus sat across from her sipping on his own tea.
Isis stepped forth bringing along Anzu. "Yûko, we need your assistance," she went right to the point.
"Hm…" Yûko raised a brow suddenly feeling interested. She placed her cup down and stood. "Masaki Anzu, correct?" she went to her with a mysterious look.
Anzu felt still as she nodded staring in to the eyes of the older woman. Yûko smiled warmly at her and turned with a hand near the side of her mouth.
"Watanuki!!" she cried.
A door suddenly burst open from the opposite side of the room. A young man came waltzing in with a platter in one hand. His blue eyes narrowed from behind his glasses. Black hair was straightened in the back; the uniform he wore was laid behind an apron.
"Yes Yûko?" he seems to wait for a reply.
"Could you give our guest some seats? Oh and have Dômeki assist you," the boy growled at the other male's name.
She watched him leave and turn back to the others.
"Sakura!" a yellow blur flew past them, once the door to where the young man left held shut.
"Kero!" Sakura hugged the small creature.
The small animal looks oddly like a plush toy. Its beady eyes filled with happiness its white wings were spread a tail of some sort swirled below.
"Kuro-rin!" a white manju like creature came bouncing to Kurogane smacking its lips right on the dark man's cheek.
"AHH!" he waved but it pounced away.
It giggled while leaning on the other man. "Fai! Syaoran! Sakura!" it cheered.
Fai lightly laughed. "It's nice to see you too Mokona," he smiled.
Mokona grinned turning its gaze towards the others. It mostly caught the eyes of Anzu.
"Hi!" Mokona greeted jumping to Anzu; she greatly held on to him.
"H-hi…" Anzu blinked.
Everyone was in awe.
"We could understand you," Yami seem to gasp.
Anzu turned over. "Huh…?" she looked up then back at Mokona. Mokona grinned at her. The girl decided to test this new found knowledge. "So what's your name?"
"Mokona Modoki!" it smiled and bounced off towards its twin.
"But how?" Leon awed.
Yûko smiled greatly, "Both Mokonas is able to translate those who are from different worlds, no matter of how they speak…" she turned when Watanuki and another man entered the room with chairs. "Now then," she motioned, "please take a seat and we'll further discuss about the girl's situation…"
"Oh you poor girl!!"
Everyone stared at Pegasus as he pulled Anzu into his embrace. The girl turned a bit pink in the cheeks while turning her face towards the side, her cheek rested against the man's chest. When she had finished fully explained her situation in words it had gotten oddly quiet on her part.
"Pegasus, you're crushing her," Seto managed glaring daggers at the man.
The older man pouted at him, "But Seto, can't you see she just lost her parents!" he pulled away in order to stare in her eyes, Seto had flexed a fist. "Don't worry my dear, you could call me daddy," he painfully cried for her.
Kaiba growled and hit him over the head a thin brow twitching at his sudden action. As so, Pegasus released the girl in order to nurse his bruise.
"It's so big!"
"It went boink!"
Both black and white Mokonas cheered jumping up and down the table. A small dragon flew by and nuzzled its owners throbbing head. Toon Blue Eyes was suddenly smothered by Pegasus an odd yelp came off it. Anzu and the others looked away with a sweat-drop others tried to contain their laughs.
Watanuki took the time to walk up from behind Anzu refilling her cup. "I'm sorry to hear about that Miss Anzu," he looked at her.
"Thank you," she replied after he walked off, "but its okay, really…" she looked at him a smile reached her lips. 'Even though I really wanted to go home…' she thought sadly.
He blush a little and sat in a vacant chair, Yuffie and both Mokonas continued to pester poor Pegasus. Anzu sigh her hands found its way around the warm cup that sat in front of her.
"Hitsuzen…"
"Eh?" Anzu looked up.
"Huh…" Kurogane leaned an expression played upon his features. "What the hell does that suppose to mean?"
Another voice answered him. "The inevitable," Isis replied her glow sheltered.
There was silence as the group let the term sink.
Yûko's eyes narrowed in order to think things through. "Everything is controlled by fate and by fate it-self…" Seto rolled his eyes crossing his arms over his chest.
"It must have been destiny that brought you here in this 'world' Miss Anzu," Isis chimed rather formally.
"But why?" Yuffie questioned for her.
Sora nodded tapping the edge of his empty cup.
"Well…" he looked around the room.
Both Mokonas sat on the table lifting their cups to their mouths. Kero basked within the many snacks that were put out while Toon Blue Eyes was still held within Pegasus' arms.
"When I was brought here I had the destiny as the Keyblade wielder," he closed his eyes just a tad. "The way I would look at it," he looked at her, "Anzu may hold something that we may not know about…" Everyone stared at him in awe. He burst out with his silly grin and rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish way. "Oh course I could be wrong!" he grinned.
Nevertheless the adults smiled at him.
"Sora you may have a point," said Leon from his side of the room.
"Of course," Yûko agreed. "Which gets to the very point of what I am about to ask…" she turned to Anzu her hand wound its way towards her cup. "May you pull out that item within your pockets…?"
Anzu blinked not knowing where this is going. One of her hand lifted and soaked itself within her pink fabric. Pulling out the item she placed it upon the table. A small tap banged against the counter as she pulled away. Silver shined reflected as another beamed. Nearly everyone in the room leaned in order to get a closer look.
"If I remember correctly…" Cloud looked over at her. "Didn't you say you dropped it once you saw your house go up in flames?"
Anzu nodded, "Yeah… but when I woke up it was right next to me…"
Yûko narrowed her eyes. 'I knew it,' her thoughts clicked.
She waved a hand once the small ones cleared her path. Palm faced down a sudden red beam formed. It crashed down and sparks began to fly, many of the people began to yell. It took a while for Yûko to experiment her thesis but ceased her magic. She forcefully brought her hand away. Smoke formed underneath her palm, slowly dispersing upon the table.
"Oi! Witch, why the hell did you do that for?!" Kurogane cried waving a hand trying his best to clear the smoke.
She smiled. "Just testing out my theory… and it seems that I was correct…"
"Huh?" everyone looked down.
The smoke had cleared showing off the clean silver plate. A single word was then embroidered upon its face: TIME.
Anzu blinked, shock written clear across her face. 'What's going on…?'
"Maker of Time…" Isis whispered a golden glow lifted from her.
Malik finally spoke. "I have heard of such a name…" everyone turned his or her attention. "The amount of magic the users hold allows them to commit—"
Anzu's mind seemed to haze as she held her hand up with a palm. "Wait…"
Malik ceased his lecture while every head in the room turned to stare at her. "What's wrong?"
"I- I just don't get any of this…" she shook her head and lightly laughed. "Please tell me that this is just a dream… That I'm in my bed, dreaming!"
Isis' eyes held sympathy for the girl. "I am quite sorry to say that this is no dream…"
Anzu eyed her, "Are you sure? Please someone pinch me," she asked with distress. "Ouch!" the girl rubbed her arm and looked over at the person who took action on her.
Yuffie held up two fingers and made a gesture. "You asked to be pinched," she made a point while throwing the people a raspberry, "besides you now know that you're not exactly dreaming." A smile glowed from her.
Anzu's hand gave way as she sighed. "I bet this is what Yui meant…" she mumbled.
Dômeki leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed. "Yui…?"
Anzu made a sound as she nodded her head. "My friend in my own 'world'…"
One of the Mokonas walked up to her and patted her on the hand, its white ears perked. "Don't you worry… I'm sure you'll get back home," it smiled.
Anzu smiled back at it but continued to sigh. "By the way… neither of you mentioned this place… I mean this 'world'," she seemed to fumble at the word.
Yûko gave a ghost of smile. "I'm glad you decided to bring this up Anzu…" she lifted a hand. "This 'world' is filled with many surprises," she looked at her. "Have you seen magic be done before?"
Anzu slowly shook her head. "Not really… unless you count magic tricks." Everyone gave her an odd look. "Um… like card tricks. You know when a person hands a deck of cards and have to guess which card you've taken…"
Yûko laughed at her statement. "No… that doesn't count…" she giggled. "Getting back to the subject magic is done with the right fighting aura you counter," she noticed the girl giving her an odd look. "I'm sure Sora and the rest of the men here are glad to show you how it works. As for you getting back home…" a slight pause while Isis took over.
"We can't do that…"
"Eh?!" Anzu jumped. "Why not?!"
Malik looked at her with narrowed eyes. "You have the TIME."
Confusion etched her. She abruptly shook her head. "I still don't understand! That watch was from my father! What the hell does the word TIME have to with it?!" she shouted.
"Anzu you need to calm down," Yami placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I won't," she brushed it off.
Seto glared at her as he stood towering over her. "Listen girl," he narrowed his cold blue eyes matched his cape.
Anzu dared to look up at him. Her eyes widened with familiar as something clicked inside her mind.
"I know you…"
He crossed his arms. "Yes… well… I know you too…" he replied with a coy attitude.
She took a step back her pendant on her breast glowed.
"Where did you get that?!" Malik jumped from
Out of reflex her hand clamped around her mother's gift. "It's my mother's…a-and you can't have it," she lightly shook her head scared at the boy's action.
Isis walked up to her brother and laid a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Malik… let it go…"
His purple eyes narrowed as he clenched a fist. "I can't…" he continued to glare at Anzu. "Just why the hell does she has the Guardian of Light?!"
Anzu's heart skipped a beat as she stared down at the pendant. Its light radiated from the center of the eye.
"Guardian of Light…?"
TO BE CONTINUED
